The furnishings in the east wing are all commonly used by wealthy families in Chang'an City. However, except for this kang, wherever you look, these commonly used items are not of a common style.
Whether it is the workmanship and carvings on the desks and beds, the color embroidery on the curtains, brocade quilts, or the shapes and patterns of the flower pouches and tea sets, they are all extremely beautiful and enchanting. They lack the splendor and elegance of the south, nor the dignity and heaviness of the capital.
On the contrary, it is somewhat exotic.
Yao Yao frowned and asked in a low voice: "Old Leng, you said the princess of Annan County is from Yangzhou?"
Leng Linjiang nodded without understanding: "Yes, she is from Yangzhou. I remember she married into the capital when she was fifteen years old. It has been twenty-one years." He looked around and saw Seeing Yao Yao's thoughtful expression, he frowned and wondered: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Yao Yao thought for a moment and hesitated, with an indescribable weirdness in his expression: "I can't say there is anything wrong, I'm just a little confused. According to what you said, the princess of Annan County is from Yangzhou and married into the capital on the 21st. Years later, if you are unable to leave your hometown, it is normal for the furnishings in the house to be Yangzhou style. If you follow the local customs, the furnishings in the house will be Chang'an style, which is reasonable, but look at it," she raised her hand and nodded casually A few things: "Look at the flower pouch, the screen, and the embroidery on the top of the curtain. They don't look like those from Yangzhou or Chang'an, but they are very similar to the style of Qiuci." She pointed to the flower bag not far away. Looking at the screen, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Look, the person in the painting is playing the 筚篥. It is an original musical instrument from the Qiuci Kingdom. It was later slowly introduced to the Central Plains and has only become prosperous in the past few years."
The general outline of the furnishings in the east wing is not outstanding. At first glance, nothing else can be seen except for wealth. However, the abnormalities mentioned by Yao Yao only exist in the details. If you don't point them out clearly, you won't notice them. Once someone pointed it out, Leng Linjiang felt that everything in this room was strange. He twisted his sleeves and said slowly and hesitantly: "Perhaps the princess of Annan County likes this style and specially asked the craftsmen to make it?"
"It is also possible." Yao Yao nodded and rubbed his eyebrows: "This abnormality is nothing and insignificant. Maybe I have thought too much. Princess Annan County cannot be treated as an ordinary person. It is better to check Xia first. Yuanji’s murder case.”
Leng Linjiang also put the matter aside for the time being, and gave a teasing smile: "The most important thing is to find Meng Suigai first and ask him if he has suffered a loss!"
Yao Yao laughed out loud.
At the same time, Meng Suigai, who was sitting restlessly in the west wing on the other side of the main room, sneezed seven or eight times in a row. His nose was sore and astringent. He rubbed it for a long time before he recovered.
Yao Yao sat on the kang and had a good laugh. She was about to speak when her ears suddenly moved slightly. Her face changed instantly. She quickly fell onto the kang, pulled the skirt of her clothes and took off her bun. The movements she made were flowing and flowing, which was amazing. stunned.
While staring straight out of the window with a pale face, she shouted hoarsely and desperately: "Go away! Go away! Don't touch me, you bastard! Get out, get away, ah!"
Leng Linjiang was also a person with quick reactions. He was only stunned for a short moment, and then subconsciously followed Yao Yao's screams. With a "pop" sound, his left hand slapped his right hand heavily. The movement was like a slap in the face. Accompanied by Yao Yao's more and more miserable cries, he sneered and scolded: "You little bitch! Who do you think you are? It's your blessing that I like you, don't be shameless! "
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure fell sideways on the window paper. A knock on the door sounded at the right time. The slaps and roars in the room stopped instantly: "Your servant Ruyu has seen Lord Shaoyin. The princess said that Lord Shaoyin She came in a hurry, thinking that she had not used the evening meal yet, so she ordered people to arrange the banquet in the flower hall, and asked Master Shaoyin to move to the flower hall to have dinner." She paused for a moment, and smiled faintly: "The princess of the county said, let Mr. Meng serve. , please be sure to appreciate it, Master Shaoyin.”
Hearing this, Leng Linjiang almost burst into tears. He really couldn't imagine what it was like for Meng Suigai to serve someone.
He suppressed a smile and responded, asking in a low voice: "A Yao, what do you want to eat?" After saying that, he paused, then smiled again: "Forget it, you'd better not eat anything, you're too fat. Come on, my arms almost broke when I carried you all the way here."
Yao Yao glared at Leng Linjiang bitterly, his eyes moved slightly, he looked thoughtfully at the graceful figure reflected on the window paper, thought for a moment, pulled out the wooden hairpin from his hair, unscrewed the hairpin head, and poured He took a pill the size of a rice grain and handed it to Leng Linjiang: "You will fall asleep half an hour after taking it, but you can fall asleep for an hour. You can act according to the opportunity."
Leng Linjiang raised his eyebrows clearly, put away the pills, slapped his face hard again, and yelled angrily: "Little bitch, just wait, I will deal with you when I'm full!!"
After saying that, he kicked the door open, his face covered with frost, and walked out angrily.
Ruyu, who was standing at the door, staggered in fright and peeked into the crack of the ajar door.
I saw the girl lying on the kang, her clothes were torn open, and her messy bun covered most of her face. It was impossible to see whether she had a bruised nose or face from being beaten. If her chest hadn't been rising and falling weakly, Ruyu would have really wanted to She thought she was beaten to death by Leng Linjiang.
She sighed pitifully and quickly followed Leng Linjiang.
The princess of Annan County is always a person who enjoys herself. She must carefully choose what she eats and uses. She has rules for what to eat and what to wear according to the season. She is almost useless. Even if she only uses a snack, she can tell eighty things. There are so many tricks, not to mention a very important evening meal.
The Princess of Annan County usually only used the dusk food for herself, so she placed it in the main room. But today, Leng Linjiang shared the dusk food with her, so she ordered it to be placed in the flower hall.
The food table is filled with various kinds of food. Although each plate is not large and can only be eaten in one or two bites, the variety is dazzling.
The purple and gold copper Boshan stove on the long table under the window curls up with light smoke and has a fragrant fragrance; two thin and weak branches are leaning in the white porcelain flower bag, and the green leaves are weak in the wind.
Even more beautiful is Meng Suigai. He is no longer dressed in the boring style he had when he was in the Department of Internal Health. He wears a high bun with a jade hairpin, thin crescent-moon eyebrows slanting into his temples, his lips are crimson, and his face is I don’t know how many layers of makeup she applied, but the white color is a bit seeping. She is wearing a very wide and light red dress, with a figure like a green bamboo and a reluctant expression. Not only does she not feel gaudy, but she actually has a sense of beauty. A fragile and beautiful beauty.
How to put it, it's like red plums and white snow. The red is gorgeous and warm, and the white is pure and pure. Although they are two completely different things, when put together they are surprisingly unforgettable.
Leng Linjiang was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene, and turned to look at Princess Annan who was sitting there. She was also dressed in the same dress and seemed to complement Meng Suigai who was standing behind her.

He smiled awkwardly, lifted up his clothes and sat down. He arched his eyebrows and said with a smile, "The princess really knows how to train people. Meng Sui looks much better dressed up like this."
Everyone in the world likes to hear good and obedient words, and the Princess of Annan County is not exempt from this custom. Especially when others praise her and the people she trains for being good-looking, she loves hearing them even more, with a tender smile rippling on her lips: "Yun Gui doesn't have to be envious. Once your little girl is trained, she will be even more beautiful than A Meng."
Ameng, Ameng, when he heard this title, Leng Linjiang didn't realize who he was talking about for a moment. It wasn't until Meng Shui blinked and coughed in embarrassment that he came back to his senses and said meaningfully "Oh." He made a sound and joked: "Ameng's name is also nice."
Meng Suige couldn't bear it any longer. He couldn't do anything to Leng Linjiang, but he didn't stop him from gouging Leng Linjiang with his knife-like eyes.
I wish I could carve out a few pieces of meat!
Leng Linjiang didn't realize it and didn't care at all. The smile on his face became even stronger: "Princess Princess, Yun Gui has thought about it. Isn't it convenient for her to stay at the house for the next few days?"
The Princess of Annan County took a mouthful of sesame porridge slowly and said: "There is nothing inconvenient. Yun Gui can stay here as long as he wants."
Leng Linjiang hurriedly thanked her, and when he saw Princess Annan holding up her chopsticks and starting to eat, he raised her hand in a dignified manner.
After being reminded by Yao Yao just now, when Leng Linjiang came to the flower hall again, he looked at it more carefully. This flower hall did not have the clever Qiuci style like the east wing, and the decorations were ordinary. It's just a bit extravagant and gorgeous, and there's nothing particularly outstanding or weird about it.
Leng Linjiang looked at it calmly. Either the princess of Annan County was indeed of unknown origin. In order not to arouse suspicion, she did not make such conspicuous decorations in a place like the flower hall where people come and go; or Yao Yaoduo Don't worry, the Princess of Annan County simply has money to burn.
Yes, the purpose of building a ceiling is to burn money.
He lowered his head and took a spoonful of porridge. The faint aroma of flax was particularly attractive. He was stunned for a moment and stirred the porridge bowl with a spoon.
Yangzhou people do not like sesame porridge with weird taste, whether sweet or salty, but prefer sweet porridge or meat porridge with distinct flavors.
He held up the bamboo chopsticks and looked at the dishes in front of him with his lowered eyes. With a gentle look on his face, he took a little of each dish, tasted it, and nodded and praised: "The cooks in the princess's house are really good at everything. They’re all delicious.”
The Princess of Annan County took a bite of the food with Meng Suige's hand, with a charming smile on her face: "Since the food suits Yungui's taste, use more of it."
After saying this, she raised her chin towards a dish in the distance.
Meng Suige hurriedly walked over, picked up a piece of bamboo chopsticks, and brought it to the princess of Annan County.
Princess Annan took another sip and raised her chin towards Leng Linjiang: "Go and prepare food for Master Shaoyin."
Meng Suige's face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. He was serving dishes to Princess Annan, who had to lower his head under the low eaves. He was serving dishes to Leng Linjiang. Hum, he raised his eyes and snorted coldly, his threat clearly evident.
