30. Interpretation of flowers
Zhao Ran said: "The villain just saw Lord Gou next to Lord Wen go out from here, but Lord Wen stayed in the outer courtyard, and the Lord summoned Lord Gou alone, thinking that there was something to ask, but he didn't want too many people to know about this matter." There is an emerald green embroidered shoe on the side of the adult's table, it should be asked the whereabouts of the owner of the embroidered shoe, the embroidered shoe is a woman's personal object, and Lord Wan will take it to Lord Gou at will to sniff, which shows that the woman's identity is not very high. The whereabouts of a woman with a low status, the adult does not want to tell the people, but let the horse sit here, presumably she is not the adult's concubine, the only explanation is that this woman is a maid, serving the royal family. β
Master Wan let go of Zhaoran's hand, waved his hand and ordered the two guards to retreat, and then said slowly: "You have a good brain, but you have a good reputation?"
Zhao Ran replied: "The kid has never been famous. β
The Lord Nawan was happy, and pointed to Zhaoran and said, "No wonder you have a good brain, you have to read too much of this book, but you will become a fool." He lifted a chopstick and said with a smile, "But I can't fool you with a few words, if you can't say anything else, my sister will stay tonight, and I will run at night as a concubine, I will go to your house tomorrow to propose marriage, and your sister will also be sent to me as a concubine, so it will be two days and a day." As for you, you grabbed me with your hand just now, but for your sister's sake, I see that you are quite pleasing to the eye, so I don't want one hand, leave an index finger. β
This Lord Wan turned out to be Wantong, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath, but he glanced at the table, arrogant and domineering, and used forbidden tableware, it seems that this is indeed the eldest brother of the famous and beloved concubine Wan Guifei, and the Jinyi Guard, who is hated by people, is the commander of Shi Wantong.
Jiang Biqiao's body trembled when she heard Wantong's name, and she said clearly: "Please also ask Lord Wan to lend me the embroidered shoes for a closer look." β
Wan Tong pointed to the embroidered shoe with his chopsticks, and a guard walked over and handed it to Zhao Ran.
Zhaoran looked at the shoe and said, "My lord, is this embroidered shoe a custom from the palace?"
Wantong shook his head, put down the shoe and said, "The owner of this embroidered shoe is a female official, not young, she disappeared when she was in office. β
"How do you see that?" Wan said, pointing to the table with his chopsticks, "just this embroidered shoe with two leaves embroidered." β
These two leaves are begonia leaves, adults should have heard of this famous poem: only afraid of falling asleep in the middle of the night, so burning high candles to shine red makeup, referring to begonias, so begonias are also known as interpretation flowers. This woman only embroidered two flowerless leaves, one is to avoid the bright red flower violation, and the other is to point out her own situation, although she is accompanied by a high candle, but it is no longer a flower of interpretation. In addition, you can also think of this poem: If there are flowers, you only need to fold, and don't wait for no flowers to break the branches. It can be seen that this woman should have a small amount of writing and ink in her chest, and her mind is delicate, and she should be a female official. β
Wantong took back his chopsticks and looked at Zhaoran: "Then how did you know that she disappeared when she was on duty?"
Zhao Ran replied: "This is a new shoe, the upper is clean, even if the shoe is not dirty, the female officer will not replace it because of this, there is new mud on the sole of her shoe, but the side of the shoe has been carefully wiped, and it should not have fallen when it disappeared, then the only reason is that she changed into the custom shoes and socks that she must wear on shifts, and then replaced the shoes she wore privately." β
Wantong leaned forward and said, "I know what you say, and you can tell me a little more about what I don't know." β
Zhao Ran said: "My lord, there has been no rain or snow in the capital these days." β
"It's true that there hasn't been rain or snow, what's wrong?"
Zhao Ran pointed to the shoes and gestured: "But when she stepped on it, the mud sank half an inch, she must have been to a damp place when she was on vacation, not far from the place where she was in office." β
"Why?" asked Vantone.
Zhaoran glanced at Jiang Biqiao, Wantong waved his carrot-like fingers: "Okay, as long as you make meritorious service for me, today's matter can be written off, this official is a person who must be punished and rewarded for meritorious service!"
"Master Xie. Zhao Ran pulled Jiang Biqiao over from Wantong's side, and then said, "The adult must have asked Lord Gou, but Lord Gou can't give the adult a satisfactory answer, right?"
Wantong snorted: "That's right, I don't know what the use of Wen Zhigeng raising a dog slave faction." β
"My lord!" said Zhaoran, "there are no other clues, it can be said that there is no need for clues at all, and Lord Gou has no way to give the whereabouts of the female official, perhaps he has informed the adult of the whereabouts of the female officialβthe official girl is still in the same place." So that damp place is likely to be the whereabouts of the female officer. β
Wan Tong stared at Zhao Ran and said, "What's the solution?"
Zhaoran pointed to the shoes: "The mud mark on this embroidered shoe, the heel is higher than the mud mark on the tip of the shoe, the average person steps on the mud, the toe mud is thick, and the heel mud is shallow, because people step on the mud, they will be surprised, most of them will lift their feet, will not step on solid." The female officer saw something that surprised her, so she involuntarily took a step backwards to make the mud marks on the back of her feet higher. β
οΌοΌοΌοΌ
Wantong seemed to be pondering, and the room fell silent, but Wang Zeng put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "Jiang Mansion...... I don't remember that Mrs. Jiang had such a male grandson as you. β
Zhao Ran said calmly: "The old lady of Jiang Mansion is my maternal grandfather, and I have only recently returned to the capital. β
Wang Zeng stared at him and squeezed out a sentence from his mouth: "Are you from Rong'an Town?"
Zhaoran said: "I am from Rongjiazhuang, but I am not far from Rong'an Town. β
Wang Zeng picked up the wine glass again, turned the glass and said, "Then do you have any other brothers and sisters?"
Obviously vague: "My father is away all the year round, and I am the only son in my family." β
This sentence is whatever Wang Zeng thinks, anyway, Rong Shiyi has been missing for ten years, and the pot can be carried casually.
Wantong over there pondered for a while, and then stood up "Teng": "Master Ma, this official still has important matters, let's go first, and I will invite you to have a good drink another day." β
Wang Zeng also got up and said: "I didn't expect that the people of Jiang Mansion would not only be able to watch the stars, but also solve cases, I wanted to go over to see if his inferences were true, so I went over with Master Wan to take a look." β
Wantong didn't care: "It's okay for the horse to follow." β
οΌοΌοΌοΌ
Wantong passed by Zhaoran, looked him up and down, and patted his greasy fat hand on his shoulder: "Good boy, then accompany this official on a trip!"
He said that he didn't care whether he wanted it or not, and pulled him out of the door.
Before they got on the horse, they heard someone laugh and say, "Little Marquis, you have visited Wan Daren...... Lord Wan?" Zhao Ran looked up and saw that he had seen it before, and the cup did not leave his hand, but it looked like Fu Heng, the son of Changshan, who had a very shallow amount of wine.
Wantong saw him, and nodded politely: "Changshan Gongzi don't come to be harmed?"
Fu Heng said with a smile: "Thank you Lord Wan for your concern, there are some new things in the inn, I wanted the little marquis to invite Lord Wan to come over and have a look, but I didn't want to go to the old half and not return, I'm still wondering." β
Wan Tong glanced at the writhing waists in the hall as if he was a little coveted, thought about it and said: "Not today, there are still important things, when I am done, I will come to your villa to have a look." β
Zhao Ran didn't expect that this Jianfeng Villa was originally opened by Fu Heng, and he couldn't help but look at him twice, but he heard Fu Heng say again: "This ...... Isn't it the eldest lady of the Jiang Mansion?"
Jiang Biqiao had been trembling and lowered her head, and only raised her head when she heard someone call her name at this moment, but Zhao Ran's heart moved, could Fu Heng be here just for Jiang Biqiao.
He tentatively said: "It's the sister-in-law, I'm worried that I can't find someone to send her back, I don't know if I can ask Gongzi Fu to send a house-keeper to send the sister-in-law back." β
Jiang Biqiao dragging it is also a burden, just send her back, he can also act at the opportunity, Fu Heng seems to have a little friendship with Mrs. Jiang, although it is very inappropriate to let a foreign man send Jiang Biqiao home, but it is far better than letting Wantong's people send it, and it is obvious that he can't trust Wantong's reputation.
Sure enough, Fu Heng nodded and said, "Then you have to be faster, otherwise it will be forbidden if it's too late." β
Zhao Ran smiled and said: "Isn't there a million adults, don't say that one watch day, it is three watch days, as long as ten thousand adults speak, they can also make the housekeeper return home safely." β
Wantong squinted at him and said, "That's it, it seems that I'm not a person who pities flowers and jade, take my brand." β
After the qiΔ was settled, they got back on the horse, and Wang Zeng said again: "I came in a carriage, I think Gongzi Rong might as well take the carriage with me." β
Wan Channel: "It's okay." β
Zhao Ran had no choice but to get into Wang Zeng's carriage, as soon as the car moved, he stretched out his hand and lifted the curtain to look back, Jiang Biqiao was still looking at their car, Fu Heng stood behind her with his hands, and the petite Jiang Biqiao was more long, dressed in green clothes and moving in the wind, as if standing like this, he stood out of a graceful man.
οΌοΌοΌοΌ
"You care about your cousin. Wang Zeng said behind his back, "You shouldn't have come back for a few days, otherwise I wouldn't have known that there was such a person as you in the Jiang Mansion." β
Zhaoran's mind turned around before he turned his head and said respectfully: "Master Ma, although I haven't grown up with my sister since I was a child, it's natural to be close by blood. β
"Bloodline ......" Wang Zeng repeated, still unfinished, "In this world, those who are connected by blood must be close." β
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head, but saw that Zhao Ran didn't know when he took a handkerchief and tied his eyes, Wang Zeng was only surprised for a moment and said, "You guessed it." β
"I don't know what the horse master said. β
Wang Zeng smiled and said, "Otherwise, how could you tie your eyes? Because not only do you know that this is not far away, but you also know that the person from the royal family you are visiting is ......."
Zhao Ran hurriedly said: "Xiaosheng is ignorant, I don't want to know too much." β
Wang Zeng ignored him and said leisurely: "As you can see, Wantong has a contemptuous heart on the one hand, but on the other hand, he covers it up in many ways, which shows that this person is indeed a royal identity, but he is not allowed by the current royal relatives and relatives, and the only one who once sought to usurp the throne is the heir of Daizong." The dog slave's nose can smell the smell within a radius of one mile, which is enough to show that this royal family is actually not far from this place, there are many temples near Muyi Gate, and the closest temple to here is Fayan Temple, and the royal family ......"
"Xiaosheng doesn't want to know!!"
"That royal family is the eldest daughter of Daizong, who visited the Buddha in the temple, the former princess of Gu'an, and now the lord of Gu'an. β
Zhao Ran was simply furious, what did this person want to do?
As they spoke, the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down, and Wang Zeng looked out the window: "If you encounter any scandal here, your life will be lost." β
Zhao Ran said bluntly: "Xiao Sheng doesn't know anything!"
"But I accidentally told you, Wantong complained about me at most, but your life is not guaranteed. β
Zhao Ran was angry: "Xiaosheng has never offended the master of the horse, right?"
"Not really. β
"Jiang Mansion hasn't offended Master Ma either, right?"
"Never. β
"Then why is the horse master embarrassed?"
Wang Zeng seemed to think about it for a while, and then he laughed as if he was lost: "I won't hide it from you, I once promised someone to make the Jiang Mansion uneasy." β
Manifest ......
The speed of the carriage in front of him gradually stopped, and Zhao Ran had no choice but to say: "I don't know if there is any room for the horse master to turn around?"
Wang Zeng said: "It's not that there is no ......"
At this time, a clear and elegant voice came from outside the car window: "Lord Wan." β
Don't listen to the second half of the sentence, he leaned outside the car window and shouted: "Jiuru, Jiuru uncle, uncle!"
οΌοΌοΌοΌ
Jiuru's voice paused slightly: "It's you." β
Zhaoran still wore a strip of cloth on his face, he didn't take it off, groped to get out of the car, and then he felt a hand supporting him, he touched it with his backhand, the finger belly was rough, the phalanges were slender, and he knew that it was the hand of Jiuru, who was superb in martial arts, without asking.
Wan Channel: "The Buddha knows this person. β
"Some origins. Jiuru replied lightly, he replied so briefly, Wantong didn't ask much, but turned his head and asked Zhaoran: "What is the ...... you have tied this on your face?"
Zhao Ran said humbly: "Adults can look down on Xiaosheng, but Xiaosheng can't cause trouble to adults, and you don't have to know what you shouldn't know." β
Wan Channel: "That's not necessary, even if you have a relationship with the Buddha, of course you can trust it." β
Zhaoran still insisted: "Where adults say, the rules cannot be abolished." β
Wantong was impatient to entangle with a little person when he heard this, so he waved his hand and said, "Go in." β
Zhaoran stumbled, along the road, of course, Jiuru can only hold him, although this temple is not a big temple, but there are also mountain gates, there are stele towers, there are corridors, there are courtyards, Fayan Temple has an accident, at this moment from the inside to the outside of the natural heavy guards, so as soon as you enter the ground and walk over, you will see the Buddha holding a person in his hand.
What kind of identity is the Buddha, he will carry a person away, and if others find him trouble in the future, he must be weighed first, and Wang Zeng will not be an exception.
Zhaoran's eyes peeked through the crack in the cloth, and he smiled proudly in his heart, he was so hypocritical and wanted to have this effect.
Wan Passage over there: "Why did the Buddha come?" β
"Someone from Fayan Temple came to report, saying that there was a demon haunt in the temple. β
"Oh, what did the Buddha find?"
Jiuru said lightly: "There are more mice." β
As they spoke, they had crossed the threshold of the Sanmen Palace, and they heard the "squeak" in their ears, and he couldn't help but squeeze his eyes curiously and looked out of the cloth, only to see that the open space outside was full of small black shadows that were moving, and the two brocade guards carried lanterns near the release pool, and under the shaking light, they saw that the pond water was actually densely packed with mice.
As soon as the door opened, the rats came straight for them.
Where is there a little more here, it's just an overwhelming mouse.
Zhaoran's hair stood on end, blurted out, and hugged Jiuru next to him with his backhand.
