Chapter 31 Relocation matters
In the night, the melodious sound of the guqin came from the Yuncheng Pavilion high platform, which was intermittently reached his ears. Ning Nanyou frowned slightly, opened his eyes tiredly, and looked up at the platform far away.
He saw a vague figure sitting on the platform and plucking the strings.
The flowers fall and the moon fades, people lose weight, and they are alone in the empty pedestal playing the piano.
In the moonlight, he stood alone in front of the screen wall, looking at the beauty on the platform, and became more and more cold with the cold wind.
He stayed here all night, and waited until the sound of the piano stopped, and when the clouds were blown away by the candlelight, the beauty never left when she entered her dream. He was a lonely person, a person who refused to let go of her heart, and a person who even disliked himself. He was not qualified to touch the beauty that remained in this world. For him, Jiang Chengjia was an untouchable dream. If he woke up from the dream, he would only wait for him with a rotten smell.
Day and night, time flies, and even makes people unable to catch its figure, and disappear without a trace.
When he got up in the morning, Ning Nanyou returned to the pavilion with a pale face.
Ji Xianzhi also rushed back from Linhe at this time.
Luoyang has been quiet for several days, and the situation is dull and silent. It seems that nothing has happened.
Ning Nanyou was about to have his wedding leave and returned to the court to report the matter. He went to Nangong early in the morning. Jiang Chengjia was nestled in the bedroom and refused to come out, and he was completely depressed.
Qianshan couldn't stand it, so she urged, "Miss, it's time for the girl to start. My son-in-law returned to the court today to report the affairs of the prince's house. Maybe the girl will deal with the matter. These days, my son-in-law started to prepare for the affairs of the Qing Dynasty. The girl didn't ask anything, but she didn't look like a wife."
Jiang Chengjia became petty, "I won't go, let him do it by himself."
Qianshan said strangely, "Why is the girl so angry about her brother-in-law? Didn't she be fine yesterday? I saw that the girl happily went to see Mrs. Cao with her brother-in-law yesterday, so why did she feel so angry when she returned in the afternoon?"
Jiang Chengjia snorted coldly and started to laugh at himself, "I think I can make him gentle to me and follow my advice. In the end, I am just a show of it. I never gotten such anger when I married him in Jiuchengtian. If he didn't like me, just say it. He was nice to me first, and then he made fun of me moodily. It's really harder to serve than Jian Cen!"
Qianshan was stunned when she heard her mention Jian Cen, and felt a little uncomfortable. Jian Cen was Ning Nanyou's previous life, and Jian Cen and the girl in the previous life had not even gotten married, so they both committed suicide by jumping into the cliff.
Thinking of the past, Qianshan's face changed immediately. The girl and Jian Cen both committed suicide. When she and the young master found the two, the girl was already dying, and it was only a slight difference. The girl died. Qianshan still felt scared when she thought about it, and layers of shock and sweat came out behind her.
Jiang Chengjia saw that Qian Shan suddenly stopped talking. Looking around, she saw her face standing beside her with a blue face, and immediately realized that she was remembering the events of her previous life again.
So he hurriedly comforted him, "What are you afraid of? That was the past, and I wouldn't let such a thing happen in this life."
Qianshan reluctantly smiled and said, "Miss, you have to keep your word. Even if the girl doesn't think about Qianshan, she may think about the young master and Miss Mu Yun. During the incident back then, the young master and Miss Mu Yun almost rushed to the Ninth Heaven to fight to the Emperor of Heaven. I didn't dare to think deeply about that scene at this time."
Jiang Chengjia sighed, "There is no need to mention the past. I promise you that I will never do this in this life."
Qianshan wanted to say something, but finally stopped talking and stopped persuading her.
Jiang Chengjia stared at Qianshan's worried face, feeling guilty in her heart, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said softly, "Forget it. I'll get up and help him take care of the affairs of the royal palace."
As she said, she lifted the bedding, sat on the edge of the collapse and put on her shoes and socks, and muttered in a low voice, "Qianshan, if you are like this, be careful that Xue Qing won't marry you."
Qianshan stared at Jiang Chengjia who had been off the bed and changed clothes in a hurry. After reacting, her face turned from blue to white and turned extremely red. She stuttered, "What are the chaotic words of the girl? I have no relationship with Xue Qing. How can the girl say this!"
"Isn't it okay? Then why are you nervous?" Jiang Chengjia smiled thiefly, and hung Kuang Qianshan's cheeks unexpectedly and said, "How is your skin red? Brother has told me all. I know clearly. Don't argue."
Qianshan met Jiang Chengjia's cunning gaze, her heart trembled, and the red clouds floated on her earlobe, and her voice became much smaller, "Have Qianshan never thought about Xue Qing?"
"Qianshan, if you really like Xue Qing, I will not hinder you. It is not easy for a person to like someone in this life, and it is not easy to stay with him. You can cherish the time you can have. You don't need to take into account your identity as a god. You are from Nanyundu and I regard you as my own sister. I naturally hope you can have a good home, don't be like me, and you can't get it." Jiang Chengjia dressed up, washed up quickly, and then left the house.
Qianshan stood in the room, staring at Jiang Chengjia's petite figure blankly, and her eyes were wet without realizing it. Jiang Chengjia had suffered too much, so she didn't want Qianshan to suffer with her.
Jiang Chengjia stood outside the house waiting for Qianshan to come out, but he was not seen for a long time. So he looked into the house with a blank look on his face, but saw her as if she was dumbfounded, and said with a funny look, "But look at your stupid look, Xue Qingba would definitely not marry you!"
Qianshan was awakened by a word, blushing and stomping her feet in the room, "How can a girl say that!"
Jiang Chengjia laughed, and before he knew it, a smog and sadness in his heart disappeared.
Ning Nanyou happened to return from court at this time, and was about to go and take a look at Jiang Chengjia. When he walked to the wall of Yuncheng Pavilion, he could vaguely hear the laughter like a silver bell coming from inside.
He stopped in front of the pavilion and did not dare to disturb such a crisp laugh.
Jiang Chengjia and Qianshan laughed and quarreled for a while, and then gradually became restrained. Although there were almost no servants serving Yuncheng Pavilion, it seemed that Ning Nanyou knew that she loved Qingjing and specially arranged it. But this place was still different from Jiang's house, and they could not let their master and servant play at will. After all, Jiang Chengjia was just to make Qianshan happy, so that she would not lament and be sad all day long because of her own affairs.
With a laugh and aroused, my mood improved a lot. This morning, Qianshan received a secret report that Ji Xianzhi had returned to Luoyang. It must be the same as today and tomorrow that the huge royal palace will be cleared and moved into the Marquis' Mansion.
She said nothing, but she still remembered her identity in her heart. If she married into the Marquis' Mansion and did not even have the power to be the mistress of the family, it would make Emperor Wei question whether she could take on the great responsibility.
Ning Nanyou, hiding behind the screen wall, heard his feet getting closer and closer to the hospital, and quietly turned away from here.
He walked in a hurry. Jiang Chengjia, who had already arrived in front of the screen wall, heard the footsteps in front of the yard and quickly recognized that it was his footsteps. So he hurriedly went forward to chase him, and walked around the screen wall and looked out the gate of the yard, but no one was seen.
Ning Nanyou flew over the wall on tiptoe, turned around and jumped, ran quickly on the backbone of the tile roof, and returned to his pavilion. He didn't know why he wanted to see her frequently, and he often lost his identity so sneakily.
He didn't understand what the emotions in his heart were, nor did he understand what the hazy sad feelings for her in his heart were. She was obviously just an indispensable piece of chess piece in his plan, but Ning Nanyou still had no expectations for her.
Jiang Chengjia stopped in front of the courtyard door, looking at the empty corridor with a disappointed face, feeling uncomfortable. Qianshan chased after him, and Jiang Chengjia immediately put away his emotions and walked towards the front hall with a smile on his face.
At this time, Ji Xianzhi happened to go around the corridor from the front hall to come to Yuncheng Pavilion to find Jiang Chengjia. The two met in the garden.
Ji Xianzhi bowed to Jiang Chengjia, said to his wife's well-being, and then said respectfully, "Today, the lord has already told Your Majesty about the move to the mansion. The lord has asked the old slave to prepare three days ago. Now the list of servants and maids in the mansion has been recorded. The lord said that the wife must check it out. After confirming it, please ask the wife and the old slave to count all the items in the mansion together."
He explained the purpose of his visit, which made Jiang Chengjia a little unexpected. She really couldn't see through Ning Nanyou. Yesterday, she was angry with her, so she changed her attitude today, and didn't know what she was thinking.
Could it be that she really tests whether she will have a peek at the secrets in his mansion? She hid her mind and smiled gently at Ji Xianzhi and nodded, "I'm disturbing Uncle Ji, I'll go with you."
Ji Xianzhi lowered his eyes and responded, then retreated behind Jiang Chengjia, waiting for her to leave first.
The two walked towards the front hall. At this time, there were people standing in the hall, all of whom were servants and maids who needed to check the list one by one. They needed to record the number of things in the mansion, and what was going on and why they entered the palace.
The ceremonial guards used by the Marquis of Huaiyin were not as good as King Rui, so the cost of moving from the royal palace to the Marquis of the Marquis of the King had to be greatly reduced. In the past, although King Rui was a king of a small vassal state and was not as good as the King of Dai, he was still the king of county territory, and the cost was the same as King Ming and King De. But now it cannot be like this. Although Ning Nanyou still has an official position, he has a salary and a court, and his fiefs of the vassal states have not been taken back, he cannot surpass the rank of the marquis, and everything needs to be careful.
Jiang Chengjia flipped through the list of the palace, with an unhappy look on his face. Qianshan took the list offered by Ji Xianzhi to ask the records of the origin of the servants and maids in the palace, what was they doing, and the monthly money they received. After searching, they recorded them one by one on the bamboo scroll and presented them to her. She didn't know that there were many useless people in the palace. After careful investigation, she found that most of them did not know the origin or what they had done in the palace. The complexity was everywhere. She just asked her to see it. She knew that Ning Nanyou was allowed to be servants and maids in the palace, and did not check their origins, but she didn't want to let them go so much, and she didn't care at all.
She circled all these people who didn't know their origins and did nothing, and deleted them from the list. Most of the hundreds of servants and maids were finally deleted by her, leaving only sixty people standing in the front hall and in a panic. These dozens of people were afraid that the mistress who was in the head would kick them out of the palace and had nowhere to go.
Jiang Chengjia ordered Qianshan and Ji Xianzhi to distribute the expelled people for their own money, which was considered to be dismissing them. In the end, he picked and deleted a few of the remaining sixty people, or those who were too clever, and they were considered to be abandoned.
Ji Xianzhi and Jiang Chengjia were stunned for a moment of looking at each other. She removed all the useless people in the palace from Jiang Chengjia, and many spies who had been involved in the palace were removed from it, including those who had been inserted one after another in the past few years.
He looked shocked, but he soon calmed down. It was normal for Jiang Chengjia to have such capable skills after all.
Jiang Chengjia spent the whole day of busy work, and it was not until the third hour of Xu that he had actually finished counting it.
At that time, she was almost tired and couldn't straighten her waist and was extremely tired. Qianshan supported her to return to Yuncheng Pavilion, rested for a while, and then washed and fell asleep.
Ji Xianzhi, who counted the account books in front of the hall, also sorted out all the books and took them to Qiting Pavilion after Jiang Chengjia left.
When Ji Xianzhi placed a stack of bamboo roll accounts and lists in front of Ning Nanyou one by one, he clearly saw his master's expression of surprise and asked in surprise, "Are these all the fruits of Jiang's family today?"
Ji Xianzhi was used to Jiang Chengjia's decisive behavior and had already calmed down, so he nodded calmly and said, "Lord, your wife must not be underestimated."
Ning Nanyou laughed in silence. When he thought of her giggle and Jiaoqiao, he could not connect her with the word "Lei Li Fengxing". He thought that he had met her for the first time, but he did not expect that her martial arts skills were even higher than him.
