Chapter 140: Dust Away
The man looked at Lan Jing's back, and only then did he turn his head to look at Xiaozhu in the lake in a daze. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, a delicate little girl walked from the bluestone path in the distance, and her target was obviously the man by the lake.
The man seemed to be aware of this, turned around and strode away quickly in the opposite direction.
Seeing this, the little girl looked around, lifted her skirt and chased in the direction of the man, ran for more than a dozen steps, and then saw that there was no trace of the man, and finally stomped her feet in disappointment and turned away.
……………
It was past noon, and the Anxin Courtyard of Prince An's Mansion was silent, and the little girl kept looking at the door.
In the courtyard, the autumn wind blows up the fallen leaves, and after a few turns, they fall again.
A woman in her thirties walked cautiously to the main room with a tray.
The little girl at the door saw her and said in surprise: "Mother Wang, you are finally back, and the princess refuses to eat." Go and persuade her. ”
Mother Wang shook her head and sighed when she heard this, and walked into the room with the tray.
Prince An Yuan Wenxin sat on the bed, her eyes looking at the glass cup on the dresser, and the five-colored glass cup glowed with a faint light.
This was given to her by her son on her birthday, just because she said on the Queen Mother's birthday that the glass was so beautiful.
Now Liuli is still there, but his son is nowhere to be found.
"Princess, drink the medicine first," Mother Wang said softly.
Yuan Wenxin turned her head to look at Wang's mother and asked eagerly, "Xiaolu, is there any news of Yu'er?"
Mother Wang shook her head gently, put down the tray, picked up the medicine bowl, stirred it twice with a spoon, scooped up a spoonful and put it to Yuan Wenxin's mouth, and said, "Princess, you drink the medicine first, the prince wants to do something, and he will come back in a few days." ”
Yuan Wenxin resisted and brushed her face aside, "Yu'er, he has never come back for more than three days without saying a word, he must have encountered some trouble." ”
Mother Wang put down the bowl, sat on the edge of the bed and took the princess's hand and said: "Princess, you just think too much, the prince is not a child, do you remember what he said on the day the prince went out? He said that he went to see Uncle Chen, maybe General Chen had something to tell the prince to do, so the prince had to send the news back." ”
Yuan Wenxin looked at Wang's mother eagerly, "Is this really the case?"
Mother Wang nodded vigorously and picked up the bowl again, "Princess, drink the medicine quickly, if you don't drink the medicine well, you will feel distressed again when the prince comes back." ”
Yuan Wenxin thought of the distressed look on her son's childish face, shook her head unbearably, and obediently drank the medicine.
At this time, a little girl in a sky blue dress ran into Anxin Courtyard in a panic, and after seeing the girl standing at the door, she stopped and gasped for breath and said intermittently: "Sister Hongdou, out, out, something big, I, I heard, I was just at the kitchen door, I heard, heard Mrs. Chen say, said that General Yuan collaborated with the enemy and was arrested for treason." ”
As soon as her words fell, her hand was grabbed. She turned her head to look, only to see that Mother Wang's face was pale, her eyes were red, and the hand holding her hand was trembling slightly.
Yueji, who was standing next to her, asked nervously, "You, what you said is true?"
The little girl nodded hurriedly, she was afraid that she had heard it wrong, so she deliberately approached to listen.
Mother Wang took two steps back, tears flowed silently, and she looked at the two of them and said in a choked voice: "Don't let the princess know." After speaking, he went directly out of Anxin Courtyard.
When the porter saw that her eyes were red and swollen, and her steps were in a hurry, Mother Wang immediately showed a mocking expression, what about the housekeeper mother beside the princess? It's not that she is not as good as the gatehouse.
"Aunt Du, open the door, I'm going out. Mother Wang said in a hoarse voice.
Aunt Du, the porter who was called to the name, glanced at her lightly, "Without the warrant of the prince, no one in Anxin Courtyard is allowed to go out." ”
Wang's mother clenched her fists and turned to leave the back door. It seems that the matter is true, no wonder the girls who helped the princess manage the dowry shop have not appeared in the past few months, and it turns out that they can't enter the mansion.
I don't know what happened to the father-in-law and the children outside the house? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look up at the sky and murmured: God, please bless the master, he is a good person.
…………
In Liuye Hutong in Xicheng, Tang Li took the three children and got into the carriage, Yang Ziyan stood aside and wanted to talk and stopped, she also wanted to go and see, but the princess was not there, and it was inconvenient for her to go over.
Tang Li didn't look at her, he only wanted to go to the princess's mansion quickly, so after getting into the carriage, he immediately said, "Let's go." ”
The carriage kicked away in dust, and Yang Ziyan stood in place until he couldn't see the shadow of the carriage, then sighed and turned around and went home.
At the side door of the princess's mansion, the guards watched the carriage from far to near, and when they saw the person who got off the carriage coming over, they said loudly: "The princess is not here, please visit again another day." ”
Tang Li took a step forward and said, "I'm not here to find the princess, I'm here to find the concubine, I'm his younger brother." ”
The guards looked him up and down, turned around and walked to the door and whispered a few words, and said lightly when he came over again, "Wait." ”
Half an hour later, the side door opened from the inside, and the waiter who was about forty years old walked out, saw Tang Li, and said respectfully: "It turned out to be Lord Tang, please come in." ”
Tang Li hadn't been treated like this for a long time, and his chest straightened in an instant, and he walked in with his head held high.
Tang Lin took a nap after Nie Zhiyuan and the others left, and as soon as he woke up, he heard the waiter come to report that his younger brother Tang Li had come to see him.
He hasn't had time to inquire about the current situation of his brother's family, but seeing that his brother came to him so soon, he didn't think it had a good time over the years.
"Master Horse, Lord Tang is here. The chamberlain stepped into the room first.
Tang Lin raised his hand, and the waiter helped him up knowingly. As soon as he sat down, Tang Li walked in, was startled when he saw Tang Lin's appearance, took a breath and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Xueru, who was walking behind him, instantly cried when she saw Tang Lin's face.
Although Tang Jinpeng was also frightened, he still reacted very quickly, and instantly took his sister out of the room with his arms in his arms and comforted him softly.
Seeing this, Tang Yaojie also followed out of the inner room, Tang Jinpeng saw him and said to him: "Yaojie, you take your sister to the garden to play."
Tang Xueru took Tang Jinpeng's hand, looked up and said, "Big brother, let's go with us,"
Tang Jinpeng shook his head and said worriedly: "I'm going to go in to see the uncle, he seems to be seriously injured." ”
Tang Yaojie's brother and sister glanced at each other, and said in unison, "Then let's go in and see the uncle." ”
Tang Jinpeng looked at them and said, "Okay, but I can't be scared anymore." ”
The three brothers and sisters entered the room again, and Tang Xueru timidly hid behind Tang Jinpeng, wanting to see but not daring to look.
Seeing the scar on Tang Lin's face again, Tang Jinpeng's eyes were a little red, and he called softly: "Uncle." ”
Tang Lin smiled at him, "Jin Peng has grown so big, is he studying hard and practicing calligraphy?"
Tang Jinpeng nodded, "Yes, I insist on practicing calligraphy every day, and I will write a few for you." ”
"Don't be busy, I'll see later, this is Yaojie? It's grown so big, how is your homework?" Tang Lin looked at Tang Yaojie and said.
Tang Yaojie said: "I don't learn as well as my brother." ”
"It's okay, you're still young, learn slowly, you won't be worse than your brother. Tang Lin said softly.
Hearing this, Tang Xueru slowly poked her head out, and looked at Tang Lin curiously with two big round eyes.
She remembered that once her mother took her to an adult's house as a guest, and her mother asked her to call the man's uncle, but the man only snorted coldly, and finally ignored her.
Tang Lin looked at the cute-looking little girl and smiled, "This is Xiao Xueru?"
After seeing her nod, she continued, "Are you afraid of uncle?"
Tang Xueru nodded and shook her head, and finally looked at her brother Tang Jinpeng helplessly.
Tang Jinpeng reached out and rubbed her hair, "Sister, she's afraid of life." ”
Tang Lin smiled and stopped talking, Tang Li sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at him and asked, "Brother, what happened back then?"
Tang Lin glanced at him, "I don't know who told the mountain bandits about my whereabouts, they came prepared, and the guards were killed." I was also seriously injured, and I was kindly sent to Qingguo Temple by people passing by, and I was saved by Master Huiyuan's treatment. ”
Tang Li paused when he heard this, he thought of the day of the accident, the news came back, his mother and sister-in-law both fainted, and she, although she was also shocked, but she always felt a little strange, she was too flustered and didn't think too much about it at the time, and now...
Thinking of something, he shook his head again, and said secretly: It can't be her, there is no reason.
Tang Lin looked at his expression, frowned and thought for a while, didn't want to think deeply, looked up at him and asked, "Are your younger brothers and sisters here too?"
Tang Li shook his head, "My sister-in-law is not here, and it is inconvenient for her to come over." When the eldest brother is better, he will bring her over to visit his sister-in-law. ”
Tang Lin nodded, "Let's go back after dinner here today, Huan'er and Xiaojing should come back later." ”
