Chapter 173: Bathing
Jiang Shu recalled what happened that night, and soon figured out the twists and turns, and hurriedly asked someone to call Tan Yu and Zhui Yun.
Tan Yu had just brought Zhui Yun and Zhu Feng to the kitchen, and before he had placed the prey, he learned that Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu had called them, so he hurried away.
"Tan Yu, is this the sachet you embroidered?" Jiang Shu handed the sachet that Yu Zheng had worn for more than ten days to Tan Yu.
Tan Yu took it blankly, checked it to confirm that it was the one she embroidered, turned to look at Zhui Yun suspiciously and said, "Why is the sachet I gave you here?"
Zhui Yun: "..." He didn't understand what was going on for a while.
"Where is your sachet?" Yu Zheng stared at Zhui Yun and asked.
Zhui Yun took it out from his arms and presented it to Yu Zheng.
He was carrying the game just now, so he put the sachet in his arms for fear of getting it dirty.
"Blue brocade and white peony, it's the one I embroidered." Jiang Shu recognized it at a glance and said firmly.
Zhuiyun felt his head exploded when he heard it.
Looking at the exquisitely embroidered sachet in Zhuiyun's hand, Yu Zheng's dark eyes were cold, and after taking it back from Zhuiyun, he pursed his lips and said nothing.
"This...what's going on?" Tan Yu was confused, not knowing that she had made a big mistake.
Jiang Shu took a deep breath and briefly explained the whole story.
After hearing this, Tan Yu realized that she had made a mistake, and hurriedly admitted her mistake and made amends.
Zhuiyun's scalp was tense and his heart was beating when he learned that he had worn the sachet embroidered by Jiang Shu for more than ten days. He didn't dare to look at Yu Zheng.
Fortunately, Jiang Shu was there, and the wedding was approaching, so Yu Zheng did not get angry or embarrassed, but just kept a sullen face.
Yu Zheng was originally dignified and imposing, and he was even more cold and intimidating when he was angry. Tan Yu did not dare to show her rage.
It was not until Yu Zheng left the Jiang family that Tan Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss, I'm sorry." Tan Yu apologized to Jiang Shu again, her eyes red and she was about to cry.
Jiang Shu looked at her, her pretty face solemnly said: "I will fine you half a year's salary to teach you a lesson. If you are still so careless and reckless when you go to the palace in the future, I am afraid I can't protect you if you make mistakes."
Chu Yu and Tan Yu have followed her for many years, and they must go to the palace with her dowry.
From the contact in this year, it can be seen that Yu Zheng is extremely strict in his daily life. But in the future, when they go to the palace, they must abide by the rules of the palace and treat them equally.
Chu Yu and Tan Yu understood this truth. After returning to the house, Chu Yu reminded Tan Yu to quit for a long time.
Tanyu knew he was wrong and did not dare to refute, but kept it in mind.
The sun was setting in the west, and it was already evening when the carriage returned to the palace.
Yu Zheng entered the house and returned to the main courtyard to rest. Before entering the house, he was silent all the way and suddenly asked Zhuiyun: "What have you done to this sachet?"
Zhuiyun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his heart suddenly lifted, and he held his hands in fear: "I didn't do anything, I just wore it normally."
Zhufeng: "..." What can he do to a sachet?
After staring for a long time, Yu Zheng said in a cold voice: "Let Tan Yu be more careful from now on. Next time, you will circle the palace fifty times."
"Yes." Zhui Yun agreed with a cold sweat on his back.
Zhufeng was puzzled and asked Zhuiyun, "Why did Tanyu punish you for making a mistake?"
Zhuiyun glanced at him and whispered, "If you keep talking, we will have to run laps today."
Zhufeng shut up immediately after hearing this. He decided to save his doubts for dinner in the evening.
Yu Zheng returned to the room and ordered the maid to fetch clean water. After pouring out the spices in the sachet, he washed the sachet himself.
This sachet had been worn by Zhuiyun and even put in his arms, so it was no longer clean. But this was the first gift Jiang Shu gave him, and it was embroidered by himself, so it was extremely precious.
He had to wash it several times.
"My lord, let me wash it." The maid Ruixue stepped forward and stretched out her hand, trying to take the sachet from Yu Zheng's hand.
Yu Zheng dodged and said in a cold voice: "No need, bring more basins of water."
"Yes." Another maid, Shuanghua, responded and took Ruixue away.
After leaving the house, Ruixue muttered softly: "It's just a sachet, but the prince has to wash it himself."
Shuanghua said: "The sachet was embroidered by the future princess herself, and it has extraordinary meaning."
They served Yu Zheng every day, so they knew it.
Ruixue didn't care: "So what, it's just a sachet."
It's just a sachet, what's the big deal, she can embroider it too.
Yu Zheng washed it ten times in a row, and Shuanghua reminded him that it would fade and wear if he washed it more, so he stopped.
"Take it to dry, take good care of it, and don't make any mistakes." Yu Zheng handed the sachet to Shuanghua.
Shuanghua has always been steady and responsible in doing things, so Yu Zheng is more assured.
"Yes." Shuanghua hung the sachet in the yard and stared at it personally.
Ruixue stared at the sachet for a long time under the pretext of accompanying Shuanghua, and memorized the appearance firmly in her mind.
Seeing Yu Zheng's reaction and gloomy face, Zhuiyun decided to treasure the sachet embroidered with sandalwood jade and never show it in front of Yu Zheng again.
In the next few days, there was a continuous autumn rain.
When the rain stopped and the sky cleared, it was the execution date for Jiang Shao and Jiang Shaohua, as well as a group of bandits, and Zhao Renxian and others.
Jiang Li and others waited outside the execution ground. After the execution, they cried and collected the bodies of Jiang Shao and the two.
As for Zhao Renxian and others and those bandits, since no one collected the bodies, the yamen runners collected the bodies and threw them into the mass grave.
Li Li'niang and her son, who had been promised by Yu Zheng to survive, were exiled to a bitter cold land, and Zhao Renxian didn't even have a chance to collect their bodies.
Jiang Li and his family hated Jiang Shu to the extreme, and deliberately made a big fuss about the funeral for several days to bring bad luck to Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu was not unlucky, but Jiang's father was depressed for a long time and even fell ill. It was not
until Jiang Shu's wedding was approaching that Jiang's father gradually recovered under the persuasion of Jiang's mother.
On the seventh day of October, the palace sent wedding dresses and phoenix crowns.
The main body of the phoenix crown is a pure gold flower crown inlaid with red gems and East China Sea pearls, which is expensive and heavy.
The palace people let Jiang Shu try it on, and it was heavier than Jiang Shu had imagined, and it was so heavy that she had difficulty raising her head.
The wedding dress made by Gong Jin in the palace had auspicious clouds embroidered on the front and a golden phoenix with its wings spread on the back, with its tail feathers dragging on the ground, gorgeous and beautiful.
Although the Jiang family ran a silk shop and made countless custom wedding dresses for people, they had never seen such a gorgeous and exquisite wedding dress.
Jiang's mother and others were stunned.
The maids and embroiderers in the palace vied with each other to praise: "This wedding dress is the right size, and it fits the girl perfectly."
"It's because the girl has a good figure. Look at the golden phoenix behind her, it seems to be brought to life by the girl."
Jiang Shu blushed when she heard this, and was so happy that she asked Chu Yu to give more reward money.
After confirming that the size of the wedding dress and the phoenix crown was suitable and there was no need to change it, several people took the reward money and happily returned to the palace to report.
Jiang's mother told Chu Yu to put away the wedding dress and phoenix crown. The wedding was approaching, but there was no time to make a second set, and there couldn't be any mistakes.
"Yes." Chu Yu put away the wedding dress and locked it in the cabinet with the phoenix crown.
The next day, Yu Lan brought a team of people to the Jingwang Mansion with great fanfare, and went straight to the main courtyard where Yu Zheng lived.
Yu Zheng frowned after seeing this: "Sister, why did you bring so many people here?"
"To give you a wedding gift." Yu Lan smiled slyly and waved to let the craftsmen she brought into the main house.
"Sister." Yu Zheng didn't know what she was going to do, and felt a little uneasy.
"Don't worry, you will definitely like it. You can sleep in the study for the next few days." After Yu Lan finished speaking, she lifted her skirt and went into the house to arrange her gift.
Yu Zheng knew Yu Lan's personality well, and he couldn't stop her, so he could only let her go.
After all, she was his sister, so she wouldn't hurt him.
