Chapter 118: Yesterday's Orchid
However, if there are people who are familiar with Mu Dongheng here, they will not only be surprised why Mu Dongheng would call the second steward "Yu Guang" as "Yu Zhengxin", but also be surprised by Mu Dongheng's tolerance for light. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In Yunzhou, whether it is in the General's Mansion or in the army, no one knows that Mu Dongheng has always been true to his word, no matter how he governs the army and his family, he is strict and abnormal, and no one dares to disobey half a sentence.
Yu Guang was also familiar with Mu Dongheng's temperament, and seeing that Mu Dongheng had already decided that he knew that he couldn't hide it, he fell to the ground with a "bang", lay on the ground and called out in a choked voice: "General-"
Mu Dongheng's face was condensed and he didn't speak.
Yu Guang was prostrate on the ground, unable to see Mu Dongheng's expression, but after getting along for many years, he knew that Mu Dongheng was angry if he didn't speak like this, and he choked up and cried bitterly as soon as his eyes rolled: "The general wants to punish Zhengxin, and Zhengxin has nothing to say." But the general ...... Eighteen years have passed, and when I close my eyes every night, I look like my cousin...... I can't forget the situation of that day......! The general promised to avenge Cousin Huan and let Yuan Zhizheng inherit the General's Mansion in a bright way, and Zhengxin has been waiting, but now it has been eighteen years...... Yuanzhi has grown up, but in the eyes of outsiders, Yuanzhi is just a good commoner under the fence...... Feeling uncomfortable in the right faith...... Zhengxin really can't wait!"
Yu Guang lay on the ground and cried bitterly, as if he was sad to the extreme, as he cried, Mu Dongheng's complexion gradually eased, and when he heard Yu Guang mention that name, he also showed a sad look on his face, and closed his eyes.
Yu Guang quietly glanced at the corner of his eye, just when he saw Mu Dongheng closing his eyes, he was happy in his heart, but his mouth was even more poignant: "Back then, Cousin Huan brought a letter saying that the general was negative and wanted to take refuge from afar. The mother asked the little one to go to greet him, but after the little one went, Cousin Huan only let the little one take him away, saying that she would wait for the general to come back and make it clear to the general. Let the little one pick her up the next day, but what I didn't expect was that the little one went one step late on the second day...... When those gangsters left, they were still insulting Cousin Huan, who was incapable of doing anything, and dared to rob a man with the eldest princess...... Cousin Huan said that he couldn't let go of Yuanzhi, and the little cousin Huan swore that he would take good care of Yuanzhi when he grew up, and Zhengxin was young at that time and didn't understand, but he didn't expect that after Zhengxin should go down, Cousin Huan bit his tongue and committed suicide...... General, although Cousin Huan didn't mention the general, when she went, she kept looking in the direction of the General's Mansion......"
"Don't say it!" Mu Dongheng suddenly spoke, his cheeks clenched hard, and his eyes seemed to burst blood.
Yu Guang was stunned, peeked at it, and stopped.
"What I said will definitely be done!" Mu Dongheng took a deep breath, looked at him and said in a low voice: "It's just that there are still doubts about this matter now, you only heard a few words, and I don't know what it is, I have my own sense of proportion in my heart, forget it this time, and I must not do it again in the future!"
Listening to what Mu Dongheng said, Yu Guang knew that he had solved the matter, but he was still unwilling in his heart.
changed his name and changed his face, concealed his identity and stayed in the General's Mansion for fifteen years, and now he is only the second steward of the outer court.
If you wait one more day, you will lose one day of riches.
How could he be willing!
"The general's meaning, Zhengxin also understands. Yu Guang lowered his head and whispered resentfully, "In the end, the general is married to the princess, the eldest princess is as beautiful as a flower, and the cousin Huan can't keep up with it, not to mention giving birth to a son-in-law, Young Master Qing is no longer a weapon, and he is also the general's flesh and blood, and the general can't bear it, which is also human nature." If Cousin Huan doesn't die, I'm afraid that the general and the princess are now also husband and wife, and the family is happy...... Even if the righteous faith hears it with his own ears, if the general says a nonsense about the righteous faith, the righteous letter will not dare to refute it-"
"Fart!" Mu Dongheng grabbed the jade paperweight on the case and held it high, Yu Guang was so frightened that he shrank and wanted to dodge, but Mu Dongheng didn't throw the paperweight out, he gritted his teeth, and the paperweight fell back to the table with a "bang", "What Ru Xiang's heart is, I know better than you." I don't disbelieve you, but this matter has to be considered in the long run, don't forget, there is still a Empress Dowager Jian in the royal capital now!"
Yu Guang carefully looked at Mu Dongheng's face, and saw that he did not seem to doubt his appearance, so he was relieved: "What does the general mean...... It is possible that the matter of Cousin Huan was the hand of the Queen Mother?"
Mu Dongheng looked at him coldly, said lightly, and changed the title back: "The princess doesn't have that kind of calculation ability, what's more, if she did it, how could she not reveal it all these years? If this matter is really instructed by someone, it can only be the queen mother! Now that the queen mother is still here, you need to be more careful in everything, and you don't need to know much about it, what to do, I have my own measure! Promise Ruohuan's matter, and you don't need to worry about it! Stand down." ”
Yu Guang responded, and didn't dare to say more.
When he turned around to leave, Mu Dongheng stopped him again: "The god and ghost Taoist who asked you to check, has you found any news now?"
"Back to the general, there is no news yet. Yu Guang shook his head, his eyes rolled, and he asked with a smile: "The general is looking for this person...... But what's important?"
Mu Dongheng's cold eyes swept over like a warning: "Just tell you to do things, ask so much!"
Yu Guang smiled again and again, and when he saw that Mu Dongheng didn't say anything after looking at him, he retreated.
In the study, it finally quieted down.
Mu Dongheng paced to the window, pushed the half-open window sash open, and was caught off guard, a large blue orchid blooming in the dark green suddenly reflected his field of vision, the color of purple in the blue, and the elegance and dignity in the delicate and graceful.
"Dongheng, is it good-looking?...... Aren't you squeamish...... Don't look at it squeamish, the aunt in the palace said that this flower can bloom even in the poor countryside...... Dongheng, you see, the two flower pillars in this flower are leaning together, is it interesting? Aunt Shihua said that this is the husband and wife in the flower...... I hate it, where does it mean that......"
There seemed to be some distant voices in his ears, and with those long-term memories, he thought he had forgotten, but at this moment, it was suddenly clear, and there seemed to be that smiling and beautiful face in front of him...... Mu Dongheng was stunned for a moment!
But as soon as he turned his head, he saw the table that had just been cracked by a palm under his anger, he lowered his eyes, and the past scenes emerged one by one, and the last thing that emerged was the woman's broken and miserable cold appearance...... His eyes froze again.
No, there won't be any doubts...... didn't have any suspicions, but because he planned carefully, so people couldn't find the slightest missing!
There is no turning back from the bow, he is not wrong, and he cannot be wrong!
Erasing the wandering indecision in his heart bit by bit, his eyes were firm again.
Standing in place for a moment, and then looking up, having regained his former solemn countenance, he strode towards the door.
Walking out of the courtyard, a steward eagerly greeted him: "General, Young Master Ling let people lock up the steward, saying that he was secretly peeping at the master and wanted to ask him for guilt-"
"What?" Mu Dongheng frowned violently, "Where are the people?"
The steward hurriedly said, "It's all in the young master's courtyard." Young Master Ling and Young Master Shang arrived first, and also brought a few guards, and later Kong Xiang and Xiao Fan brought the doctor back...... The young master took the medicine, and now he is still in a daze, and later, Young Master Ling said that he wanted to interrogate people, and Young Master Bai brought Xiuzi out, and Young Master Ling heard that the young master left the house to testify against the steward, so he asked the steward to take him over. The little one said that the steward and the general reported the affairs, so they sent someone to wait on the road, and as soon as the steward came out, he was taken over. The big butler couldn't leave with Young Master Ling, and the little one wanted to come to tell him, but the general was in the study, and the little one didn't dare to disturb, so he could only wait here. ”
Mu Dongheng's house is very strict, especially the location of the study, except for a few people who can enter, no one else can get close to half a step.
After listening to the steward's reply, Mu Dongheng didn't say anything, and strode towards Mu Qing's courtyard with a calm face.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Ling Fei standing in the courtyard with his hands in his hands, with a sneer on his handsome and somewhat yin face, looking down condescendingly, kneeling at Yu Guang at his feet.
Yu Guang was prostrate on the ground, his fat figure was trembling, and he looked like a thief.
Seeing this, Mu Dongheng secretly scolded in his heart, knowing that this person was not enough to succeed and more than to lose, so for many years, he never entrusted him with important tasks, only for his cousin's sake, giving him a face, and somewhat empathizing to make up for it.
But this man is ambitious and talented, only looks at the present, acts recklessly, and after all, the mud can't support the wall.
In addition to Ling Fei and Yu Guang kneeling in front of him, Bai Yuanzhi stood on Ling Fei's right side and bowed down, Mama Hu was nowhere to be seen, Mu Dongheng glanced at the direction of the room and guessed that Mama Hu should be guarding the house, and at this moment in the courtyard, on the east side, there was also a maid with eyes standing in front of Xiuzi who was re-proposed, as if whispering something, Shang Zilu was also standing beside the maid.
Mu Dongheng didn't see the few guards brought by Ling Fei, thinking that he had finished his work and had already retreated to the outer courtyard.
I still know some rules!
Mu Dongheng sneered in his heart, but he also knew in his heart that with an identity like Ling Fei, there must be a secret guard who had practiced hidden kung fu by his side at this time.
But no matter how much anger he had in his heart, Ling Fei came in the name of offering an edict, and he could only endure it.
Patience is endurance, but his face will not be very good, this look is just a breath after stepping into the courtyard gate, taking the courtyard scene into his eyes, he strode in.
Bai Yuanzhi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Father-in-law." ”
Mu Dongheng waved his hand to let Bai Yuanzhi stop, and he looked at Ling Fei with a cold face: "I don't know what kind of edict Young Master Ling has given, he can be so active in my mansion!"
The corners of Ling Fei's lips hooked without a trace, slightly restrained, and after a salute, he said: "Zixun should have asked the general for peace earlier, but as soon as he arrived in the mansion, he heard that Young Master Mu's life was in danger, before Zixun came to Yunzhou this time, His Majesty specially summoned Zixun, and he had never seen his nephew, so he was very worried in his heart, and asked Zixun to take the time to come to the door to meet and convey His Majesty's feelings of missing his family." Zixun was only empty today, but he didn't expect this to be the case. If Young Master Mu has any mistakes, how can Zixun return to the palace to restore his life? ”
Ling Fei's words were polite and courteous, not only did he have the upper hand and wiped out the inappropriate things about his own behavior, but also the words were soft and hard, so that Mu Dongheng not only could not question him for his recklessness, but also took the faint reproach in his words.
Mu Dongheng has commanded the army for twenty years, and he is not an idle person, where can he be scared back by Ling Fei's words.
He sneered suddenly: "Could it be that I have violated the royal law by disciplining my own son? I don't care what happens to other people's mansions to do such things, but my general's mansion can't tolerate such a style! He is my Mu Dongheng's son, so he has to abide by the rules of my Mu family! Young Master Ling was born in the Enhou Mansion, and he knows the rules if he wants to, but I, Mu Dongheng, am not dead, so why did the Enhou Mansion come to manage the family for me? I want to ask Enhou, but he wants to come to my general's mansion to be this family?"
Ling Fei carried out His Majesty, Mu Dongheng was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and directly involved the matter between the two governments.
After all, Ling Fei still has insufficient experience, and when he heard Mu Dongheng ask like this, his face was a little unbearable: "This matter has nothing to do with Enhou Mansion, if the general asks for guilt, just come at Zixun!"
Jiang is still old and spicy, Mu Dongheng saw that Ling Fei was really led astray by him, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, and there was still a cold expression of anger on his face: "You have no official position, and you have no title, speaking of which, I am still your elder, you don't understand the rules, how can I, Mu Dongheng, care about the same junior! But my Mu family is not a person who is bullied by others, if the Marquis doesn't give me a satisfactory explanation for this matter, I will not be good at resting!"
The anger in Ling Fei's eyes loomed, and he was about to speak, when out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw that Shen Nishang had already gotten up and stepped aside, and the fingers under his sleeves were swiping on the back of Shang Zilu's hand, and he suddenly stopped.
Sure enough, the next moment, Shang Zilu walked over and saluted Mu Dongheng first, with an extremely respectful attitude: "Zilu see the general-"
Mu Dongheng snorted, turned his face away, and ignored it.
"Young Master Bai said that the general asked him to find out the truth of this matter, I don't know if this matter has been counted?" Shang Zilu was not angry by Mu Dongheng's actions, and only asked respectfully.
Mu Dongheng turned his head to look at him: "So what?"
Shang Zilu scratched his head with a smile: "It's extremely simple to find out the truth in its experiments. ”
Mu Dongheng sneered: "Yes, if Young Master Shang has any way, it is better to listen to it." As he spoke, he looked Shang Zilu up and down, and said sarcastically, "How come I don't know when my evil obstacle will have a friendship with Young Master Shang?"
Although Shang Zilu is honest, he is not stupid, he smiled and said: "I have met a few times in the ring, by the way, and Young Master Bai has also met a few times." Zilu also knew that the general's family rules were very strict, and his son made a mistake, and he should be punished, but if the general really blamed Young Master Mu for his mistake, then ...... That's not so good, either. ”
"Wrong?" Mu Dongheng sneered, "What evidence is there?"
Shang Zilu turned to look at the servant girl standing on the east side of the courtyard, and smiled at Mu Dongheng: "The general will know in a moment." ”
Hearing Shang Zilu say this, Mu Dongheng had a cold face and turned his gaze to the servant girl.
As soon as he came in the morning, he had a clear view of the situation in the courtyard, and although the maidservant had noticed it, she had not paid much attention to it. (To be continued.) )
