Chapter 29 Happy Together
Chapter 29 Happy Together
Needless to say, Jiang Qi happily agreed.
However, when Jiang Sui returned to his room, neither Jiang Zhui nor Jiang Yi supported him.
Jiang Zhui: "Brother, this is messing around."
Jiang Yi: "Did Jiang Qi bring it up?"
Jiang Yi has always been happy and angry, but this time he actually squinted his eyes, as if as long as Jiang Sui nodded, he would use light skills to fly into the bamboo forest and beat up a certain bold guard .
Jiang Sui: "...No, I mentioned it."
This time, Jiang Yi also showed an expression similar to that of Jiang Zhui. He frowned and said in disapproval: "Master, Jiang Qi can't go out."
Jiang Sui watched the two silently.
In fact, he knew what the two of them were worried about. There were two situations. The first one, Jiang Qi got into trouble, and everyone would think that the person who caused the trouble was Jiang Sui; Recognized, someone discovered that there is actually a person who looks exactly like the regent in this world, and then spread it to ten or ten, and Jiang Qi's role as a substitute was completely invalidated.
The reason why the hole card is called the hole card is because no one knows about it, and once it is known, this hole card is useless.
No matter in the eyes of Jiang Zhui or Jiang Yan, who is also a secret guard, Jiang Qi's existence as a stand-in is far greater than his existence as a person.
The Jiang family has cultivated him for so many years and put so much effort into it. It would be a pity if it was really invalidated.
But Jiang Sui didn't have that many thoughts. For him, whether Jiang Qi was discovered or not was all the same.
No matter how many opinions these two people have, the real master of the palace is Jiang Sui. Even though he usually doesn't care about things, if he really decides to do something, no one else can change it.
Going to court in the morning, staying in the palace for a whole morning, and coming back at noon, after not living in the palace, Jiang Sui's workload plummeted, almost all the tedious official duties were left to Wei Xun, and he also worked hard. Came down without a word of complaint.
These days, the monarch and his ministers did not talk about anything other than discussing state affairs. Jiang Sui felt that the communication between the two of them was much less, but obviously, he still had the same attitude as before, neither warm nor indifferent.
It was also because of this that Jiang Sui suddenly realized that between him and Wei Xun, it seemed that Wei Xun had always talked more. He brought up different topics every day and told interesting stories from all over the world, while what Jiang Sui did every day was to listen to and talk with Wei Xun. go along.
Uh... According to the comments in the book, Wei Xun managed more in this relationship and paid more.
There seems to be something weird.
He could choose to ignore the weird feeling that made his skin crawl in his heart, but the indifference between him and Wei Xun still bothered him.
He wanted to solve it and improve it, but he didn't know how to improve it.
These days, he would mention some things that happened outside the palace from time to time, trying to arouse Wei Xun's interest, but Wei Xun didn't pay him much attention at all, even if he finished talking, Wei Xun would just hum or smile lightly, And then keep on doing his own thing.
Ordinary flattery doesn't work. If you want to solve the problem between the two of them, you still have to start from the root cause.
but--
Where is the source?
……
Jiang Sui thought for a long time, let alone, he really thought of an idea.The reason why Wei Xun is not happy until now, maybe, is because he said that day that he would leave.
However, a bigger problem came up. He was planning to resign, and other matters could be discussed. Only this matter, he could not change his mind.
So, the issue between the two of them was put on hold until July [-]th, the day of the Ghost Festival.
The general examination has come to an end, the last session has started, and Gongsheng has already entered the venue. After this test is over, the examiners should start grading the papers.
During the day, after offering incense to his parents, Jiang Sui took out the mask he had prepared in advance, and took Jiang Qi out.
Jiang Qi doesn't need to play him today, just play his guard.
Jiang Qi's skills were no worse than Jiang Liu's. With him around, Jiang Liu didn't have to follow them. Jiang Yi disappeared early in the morning, so he probably planned to follow them secretly.
Jiang Zhui was still the same, holding a volume of books, sitting in a wheelchair, with a calm expression on his face, Jiang Sui greeted him before leaving, he raised his head from the book, and said: "There is a lot of people on the street. Move, brother, be more careful."
Jiang Sui smiled lightly. Recently, more and more people asked him to be more careful, so he agreed without paying much attention, and then he took Jiang Qi out.
There are far fewer people on the Ghost Festival than on the Qiqiao Festival. After all, this is a more serious festival. The children are all detained at home by the adults. In some families that are too superstitious, even the adults will not go out.This caused them to go far away without encountering any lively scenes.
Jiang Qi has never seen what the capital looks like.
Even when he was a child, he was secretly sent to the capital by Jiang Buliu for training. At that time, he was smothered in the carriage without even a crack. After entering the capital, he was quickly sent to a house. He has never seen what the streets look like, what clothes the people in the capital wear.
However, he knows the name of the alley where the palace is located, and knows that the street to the right is called Shehuo Street. It used to be a place where jugglers lived, but now the buskers have all moved away, and there is only one fixed bun. The sugar stalls and sugar stalls are still here to make a living.
He also knew that Caiyun Pavilion had designed a new kind of clothes this year, and women in the capital flocked to it, and this year, there was a new trend of wearing red. Even if you are not a newlywed, you like to have a touch of red on your body.
He knew everything, but had never seen anything.
Years of training had taught him that no matter how curious and surprised he was, he kept everything in his heart, and compared to these, he was more eager to try another thing.
Both Jiang Sui and Jiang Qi wear masks, Jiang Sui wears a black-faced Zhong Kui, while Jiang Qi wears a red-faced evil spirit.
In addition to the two of them, there are many people wearing masks on the street. They all have the same faces of the underworld. It’s not dark yet, so it’s quite fun to watch. When it gets dark, a group of people wearing ghost masks Walking on the street is almost like a group of demons dancing wildly.
The two stood in the crowd and walked slowly forward with them. Suddenly, Jiang Qi's voice sounded under the mask.
"Son."
Jiang Sui turned his head.
Covered with a thick layer of paper, Jiang Qi's voice sounded muffled, but the mask covered his face and could not cover his shining eyes, "My lord, I want to take off the mask."
"Except for Jiang Yi and the others, no one has seen me dressed up as a young master. I want to try."
Jiang Sui couldn't help looking around.
There is no one he knows, but it is not ruled out that he will meet someone who knows him later.
There must be no ministers going to the streets on the Qiqiao Festival, but not necessarily on the Ghost Festival. This festival belongs to adults, especially to adult men. After all, girls rarely like to wear an ugly mask on their faces.
Jiang Sui was startled, under the mask, suddenly, he raised the corner of his lips, "Okay, let's try."
Jiang Qi played him, he played Jiang Qi, it was interesting to think about it, now, he was really looking forward to meeting an acquaintance tonight.
On the day of Hungry Ghost Festival, the imperial court collectively had a holiday, and another sacrifice was held in the morning. Wei Xun wore the black dragon robe that sacrifices would wear, and he did not change it at night.
Because at night, he still needs to go to the royal ancestral hall inside the altar to meditate and offer incense.
He was the only master in the entire palace, and the offering of incense, which used to be a major event, had become a perfunctory account. When the emperor offered incense, there would be no one else except the eunuch, the national teacher, and the boys under the national teacher. people come in.
Taking the three long incense sticks as thick as fingers from the national teacher Hanlu, Wei Xun glanced at the huge tablet placed in the center, without bowing, kowtow, or even lighting it, just casually inserting it with one hand In the censer, I don't know if he did it on purpose, but he used too much force, and with a click, all three incense sticks were broken from the root, leaving only a pitiful tail still stuck in the censer.
When the broken upper part fell down, it also splashed a piece of incense ash, many of which were scattered on the tablet of the old emperor.
Qin Wangshan: "..."
Hanlu: "..."
After doing this, Wei Xun turned around and left, during which time he twirled his fingers in distaste until he wiped off the last bit of incense ash. Qin Wangshan hurriedly followed. The original rule was to burn incense, While meditating, the emperor could not leave here until the incense was burned.When Jiang Sui lived in the palace before, Wei Xun asked the national teacher to prepare a bed for him, and he slept until the incense was burned before going out.
But now that Jiang Sui was not in the palace, he didn't even bother to do these superficial efforts, and left the ancestral hall directly.
Han Lu silently watched the figure of the emperor leaving without hesitation, and when the figure was gone, he sighed a little, and ordered the boy to destroy the broken part of the incense stick, and light the remaining little tail first. , to make the illusion that it is burned to this position.
The boy dealt with it according to the words, and then asked him respectfully: "Master, what should I do with the dirty tablet of the former emperor?"
Han Lu listened, looked at the memorial tablet, tilted his head slightly, and after a while, he said, "Leave it alone, and you can wipe it clean in the morning of Mid-Autumn Festival."
Anyway, the next time someone comes in is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so let's get dirty before then.Besides, it was just a little incense ash. Compared with the emperor who had been dead for several years, incense ash was a clean thing.
Outside the altar, Wei Xun strode forward, Qin Wangshan hurried to catch up, and Qin Wangshan was wondering what could be so urgent for His Majesty, when Wei Xun suddenly stopped.
Qin Wangshan slammed on the brakes to avoid the tragic situation of hitting the emperor.
Wei Xun stood there silently for two seconds, then turned around abruptly, and asked, "Tell me, is the capital more lively than usual tonight?"
Qin Wangshan was stunned for a long time before he answered uncertainly: "Okay...it seems to be."
"Then, as the Son of Heaven, I should share the joy with the people, right?"
"This..." Qin Wangshan became more and more confused. He couldn't figure out what Wei Xun meant, so he could only rely on his intuition to guess, "Yes, what His Majesty said is absolutely true."
Hearing this answer, Wei Xun glanced at Qin Wangshan appreciatively, "Okay, go back and change my clothes, I'm going out of the palace to have fun with the people."
Qin Wangshan: "...obey the order."
The author has something to say: Wei Xun: I am such a clever little ghost
