Chapter 254: News
"Smack"
With a crisp sound, a delicate red gold and white jade bowl was swept to the ground by the man in gorgeous clothes.
There was silence all around, and everyone had their heads bowed. Xie Jingde held his breath and condensed after a stirring spirit, and he didn't even dare to come out.
The cold and ruthless voice of the man in fancy clothes sounded in the room: "Qianhong Crisp has long been immersed in his internal organs, even if the old guy finds out, it will be short-lived, what are you afraid of doing this? What a useless waste." ”
Xie Jingde's dark cheeks showed a look of shame, he bent his back, and said in fear: "It's the incompetence of his subordinates, please calm your anger." ”
The man in the fancy dress stood up, slowly paced a few steps around the room, and asked again: "Let me ask you, are all your people in charge of the quartermaster dispatch in the army now?"
Xie Jingde hurriedly said: "Except for a person whose treasurer surnamed Dou is an old guy, the rest only listen to the orders of their subordinates. ”
The man in Chinese clothes stopped walking, he stood condescendingly in front of Xie Jingde, and said coldly: "I gave you three years, why haven't you fully mastered the important things......?"
The man in the fancy clothes snorted softly, which made Xie Jingde break out in a cold sweat, and he immediately arched his hand and said: "Master Rongyu, that Dou treasurer is old and fine, and he is really slippery." The subordinates also thought that they also needed someone to bear the anger of the emperor and hundreds of officials afterwards this time, so they kept him temporarily. If the master is not satisfied, his subordinates immediately find an excuse to send him away. ”
The man in the fancy dress groaned and did not say anything for a long time.
When Xie Jingde was panicking, he suddenly felt his shoulders sink. The man in the Chinese costume patted him on the shoulder and laughed: "Ah Chang, Ah Chang, I underestimated you in the past, yes, very good!"
Xie Jingde breathed a sigh of relief, the master would only call him by his nickname when he was in a good mood. The expression on his face gradually became relaxed, and he smiled humbly: "My subordinates are really ashamed. ”
The man in Chinese clothes withdrew his hand and said, "Don't worry about the old guy, I'll arrange for someone to send him away." All you have to do is get what I want ready and wait for my orders. ”
Xie Jingde hesitated for a moment, and carefully reminded: "Master, the old guy is easy to deal with, but his five sons are not good at stubble!" It was also because he was afraid of the five sons of the old general Weng that Xie Jingde did not dare to be too rude to him.
"It's just a bunch of reckless people, don't take it personally. The man in the costume waved his hand casually. Perhaps the father and son of the Weng family are really as small and humble as ants in his eyes.
With the master's words, Xie Jingde was also relieved, and he said with a smile: "Yes, it's the mediocre people who are disturbing themselves!"
The man in fine clothes slowly walked to the window lattice, and reached out to pinch a leaf on the vine that was leaning down. He turned the petiole in his hand and said to Xie Jingde, who was following him: "Who found out that the old guy was poisoned? ”
Xie Jingde hurriedly said: "It was the old guy who found out by himself, but the cause was the Lady Yue of Xian Wangna.......
Xie Jingde suddenly visited Zhang Jiao yesterday and wanted to come forward to make decisions for the dead Huaqiu. Xie Jingde knew that his master and King Naxian had been fighting openly and secretly, and he also knew that Huaqiu was the Xie family, so he happily went to this muddy water and described it in detail.
The man in the fancy costume kept his back to him and listened quietly, Xie Jingde finished speaking in one breath, but he didn't get a response from his master for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy again in his heart. He tentatively cried out, "Master, master......."
The man in the Chinese costume raised his hand and pinched the corner of his forehead, and said indifferently: "Stand down! Do what you need to do, and don't interfere with anything else." ”
"Yes!"
Xie Jingde didn't dare to say anything more, and retreated respectfully.
The man in the fancy costume stood alone by the window, suddenly sneered, and muttered: "Interesting, really interesting, next time I have the opportunity, I will definitely meet this clever and well-informed Mrs. Yue." Unexpectedly, Zhang Jiao looked smart, but she was a foolish woman who only knew how to be jealous and fight for a while.
It's just a pity that the painting autumn, the thousand red crisps are hard to find, and the whole government has done their best, and only used these thousand red cakes to cultivate five dead soldiers, but I didn't expect to waste one in this wild border, but even the fur of the lady of the moon was not injured. It's ........"
The man in the fancy dress shook his head, although his mouth was full of pity, but his eyes flashed with a strange light.
"Someone!"
With the shouting of the man in the fancy clothes, Long Er strode in: "What does the master command.......
Daintree Hills
A few days have passed since the death of Huaqiu, and Zhang Jiao is much more honest, hiding in the courtyard every day to play the piano and paint, or trim flowers and plants, but it is leisurely.
Xiaoxiao walked in with a black lacquered plum blossom tea tray, but saw Hua Lianyue sitting under the window with a travelogue and watching it with relish. She walked quickly to the table and placed the tea cup in Hua Lianyue's hand.
Xiaoxiao deliberately used some strength, and the bottom of the cup collided with the table with a crisp sound, successfully shifting Hua Liyue's gaze from the book to her. Seeing Xiaoxiao's small mouth pouting, Hua Lianyue asked with interest, "Who is messing with you again?"
Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and said, "Madam, just now I saw that Xiaoqing has been pestering Brother Feng. ”
Hua Lianyue showed a hint of understanding, she put down the book in her hand and comforted: "Don't worry, Feng Wu can't look down on that Xiaoqing." ”
"I'm not worried that Fifth Brother Feng will take a fancy to her!" Xiaoxiao bit her lower lip, and a trace of incomprehensible depression and chagrin flashed in her eyes. She lowered her voice and said, "Madam, I overheard that Xiaoqing has been asking Feng Wu about the return date of King Xian!"
"Really?" Hua Lianyue finally frowned, revealing a solemn expression.
"Really, I heard it clearly, without any mistakes!" Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously to confirm the truth of her words.
Hua Lianyue shook her head, and said with regret: "Then she asked the wrong person, Feng Wu's stuffy gourd, and she can say a few more words to Feng Qi." It is estimated that Xiaoqing will talk to him for a long time, and at most she will reply with a sentence: "If the girl wants to know anything, she might as well ask Feng Qi."
Xiaoxiao was stunned: "How does Madam know, did you also see it?"
Hua Lianyue pursed her lips and chuckled, five phoenixes and seven phoenixes, one is straightforward and the other is slippery, but they complement each other and have an excellent relationship. So if Feng Qi is forced to be in a hurry, he will use Feng Wu to scare people. If Feng Wu is forced to be in a hurry, he will use Feng Qi as a shield.
Xiaoxiao saw that Hua Lianyue didn't care much, and couldn't help but stomp her feet and said, "Madam, you can still laugh." That Miss Zhang kept going, and asked the people around her to inquire about the return date of King Xian. is simply not giving up, and wants to wait for King Xian to come back. ”
"If she wants to wait, let her wait!" Hua Lianyue took a sip of tea and picked up the book again: "The return date of the virtuous king is uncertain, if she can wait forever, she can leave the world a good reputation of being virtuous, chaste, and valuing love and righteousness." ”
The more Xiaoxiao listened, the more frightened she became, she knew that Miss Zhang's plan, but her wife still looked leisurely with her. Xiaoxiao bit her lower lip and began to worry about her wife's situation that would definitely become more and more difficult in the future.
It's a pity that Feng Qi and Zhang Yuanyang have disappeared in the past few days, so she doesn't even have anyone to consult. Seeing that Hua Lianyue was reading a book again, Xiaoxiao could only sit aside and tug at the corners of her clothes depressedly.
Xiaoxiao didn't know that Hua Lianyue's seemingly calm face was also secretly anxious. She is also waiting for news, but the news she is waiting for is completely different from Zhang Jiao.
........
Since General Weng knew that he was highly poisoned and that the slightest injury would kill him instantly, he complained of illness again and closed the door of the General's Mansion.
"Here, wrap it in a layer of cotton. The old lady of the General's Mansion pointed to the corner of the desk and ordered.
Although the old lady was also gray-haired and old, she spoke with a lot of energy. In the past few days, she has transferred the regiments commanded by several mothers-in-law and maids around her.
The corners of the various furniture in the general's palace were all tightly wrapped in thick cotton cloth, and the green and tall trees were uprooted, and the axes and swords that the old general used to like to fiddle with were all thrown into the storeroom and locked firmly. Even the women in the house, whether they are masters or slaves, have bare hair and sideburns, and they are not allowed to wear hairpins and beads.
In short, before the strange poison on the old general's body was completely removed, all the sharp objects in the mansion that might cause harm to him were all put away.
"Okay, okay!" General Weng put down the teacup and said angrily: "Don't make a fuss, listen to the niece of the Liu family, I am afraid that the poison on my body has not been for five years, but I am afraid that it has been for four years, since I have not died for so many years, it is not bad for these days." You make the General's Mansion look like this, and outsiders are afraid that they will laugh at the old man for being greedy for life and afraid of death. ”
The old lady paused for a moment, and said angrily: "It's better to let them laugh at the jokes than to make those villains satisfied." Let me tell you, you will stay in the courtyard honestly during this time, and you are not allowed to go anywhere, just wait for Doctor Liu to come and detoxify you. ”
General Weng has always had no choice but to hide in the back study to ask for peace.
Although there are many military books in the study, General Weng can't read a word because he has something in his heart. He simply lay down on the soft floor and rested. Suddenly, he heard a gentle knock outside the window, and his heart moved, so he simply stood up and pushed open the closed window.
Under the window, a young and ruddy little face appeared, it was a little boy of five or six years old, with a tiger's head and a tiger's brain, and he was naughty at first glance. His hands were on the edge of the window lattice, his neck was sticking out, and he said to General Weng in a serious manner: "Grandfather, what are you doing hiding in the study......?
Before he could finish speaking, his body began to shake violently.
"Oh, stand firm, stand firm........" The little boy called anxiously, but his body still fell back quickly.
"Stinky boy, be careful!" General Weng hurriedly fished with his hands, but he didn't catch anything, and could only watch the boy fall into a ball with another slightly older boy.
Old General Weng couldn't help but smile, and deliberately reprimanded with a serious face: "Borong, Boyu, you two don't study with your master in the academy, what are you doing here to make trouble with your grandfather?"
Bo Rong is younger, and his temperament is also very jumpy. He got up with a grunt, patted the dust on his buttocks, looked up at his red little face, and said to General Weng: "Didn't grandfather say a few days ago that as long as you can memorize the master's master's master's teaching table, you will teach us a new set of swordsmanship!"
General Weng stroked his beard and said quietly: "Then did you recite it?"
Borong puffed up his small chest and said proudly: "I memorized it, not a word is bad, and the master praised me in class." ”
"Oh!" General Weng nodded and looked at Bo Yu, who had been looking at him and smirking: "So, you also recited it?"
Boyu nodded shyly and smiled: "Back to my grandfather's words, I recited it yesterday." ”
Bo Rong nodded vigorously, and he interjected with a glint in his eyes: "Grandfather, Brother Bo Yu and I have both memorized the Master Table, when will you teach us the new swordsmanship?"
When I saw the two precious grandsons mention the new swordsmanship, my eyes lit up with great anticipation. General Weng felt extremely relieved in his heart.
Although the Weng family is based on martial arts, several daughters-in-law don't want their children to continue to fight and kill, and beg for a living on the knife, so they specially invited the master to teach a few grandchildren's children to read and learn calligraphy in the house.
Although General Weng understood his daughter-in-law's thoughts, he inevitably felt regret in his heart.
Fortunately, among these children, Boyu and Borong are particularly obsessed with martial arts, and they usually like to make some wooden swords and practice their moves decently. In his spare time, General Weng will also guide them one or two.
At this moment, he happened to be too bored by the old lady, and he couldn't bear the two pairs of expectant little eyes of Boyu and Borong brothers. He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll teach you three more tricks today!"
"Great!" Bo Rong wanted to clap his hands and cheer.
General Weng hurriedly made a silent movement, and he whispered: "Don't make noise, if your grandmother hears it, she will definitely send you back to the master." ”
Bo Yu and Bo Rong hurriedly covered their mouths, only to see the four black eyes of the two people gurgling around.
"Come in, the study can't be opened, but it's enough to teach you. General Weng smiled and opened the door of the study himself.
"Grandfather, grandfather!" the two of them ran into the study, hanging on the old general Weng like monkeys left and right for a long time. Bo Rong also specially took out a small wooden sword from his cowhide boots and said ostentatiously: "Grandfather, you see, I even have a sword ready, just waiting for you to teach us!"
Before the old general Weng could nod, Bo Yu on the side had already shouted: "Bo Rong, grandmother doesn't allow us to play with wooden knives and swords, why do you still keep it?"
Borong hid the small wooden sword behind him like a baby, and pouted: "This is what my grandfather personally cut for me a few days ago, and I am reluctant to throw it away!"
"But my grandmother also said that these things would hurt my grandfather's ......."
Seeing that the two brothers were about to quarrel, General Weng hurriedly coughed lightly and started a round: "Okay, don't quarrel over trivial matters." Your grandfather is not so weak, and the little wooden sword can't hurt me, but your grandmother is too nervous. ”
He reached out and patted their little buttocks, and said with a loving face, "Go and stand up, grandfather will start teaching you new sword moves." ”
The black lacquered door of the study was hidden, and from time to time you could hear the soft drinking of children, and the stern but loving voice of General Weng. The maids and servants passing by all smiled knowingly, and the three of them were frolicking together!
Only half an hour later, an exclamation suddenly came from the study. It didn't take long for Boyu to push open the door of the study and run out like a gust of wind.
He panted and found the old lady who was still ordering someone to clean up the dangerous objects in the house, and said anxiously: "Grandmother, grandmother, grandfather's hand was cut by Brother Borong's wooden sword, and there was a lot of blood, go and take a look!"
