Chapter 36: Taiwei's Mansion
Zhongtong Wang's refusal made Mo Ruqi's curiosity even heavier. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
But just like no one can wake up a person who pretends to be asleep, she knows that from the mouth of a person who pretends not to understand, she can't ask any result. Therefore, she didn't dig deeper, so she went out of Bailian Mountain with him.
As soon as Mo Ruqi left, Yuwen Tongyi breathed a long sigh of relief, and lost his mind as he looked at the direction in which she rode away. Her waist-length green silk is like black jade, and with a white gauze skirt flying in the wind, the elegance is a little more dusty.
This woman was unlike any woman he had ever seen.
She is strong, but not overbearing, and knows how to make appropriate concessions within the scope of favors. She is arrogant, but she is not self-respecting, and knows how to respect and understand others. She is wise, but she is not arrogant and knows how to leave room for others.
"What, the prince has a crush on her?" I don't know when, there is an extra person behind him.
Yuwen Tongyi retracted his thoughts, and when he looked back, he was dressed in a big red cloud cigarette shirt, and the corners of his skirt were embroidered with royal blue butterflies that were about to fly.
"Danyi." Yuwen Tongyi said in a deep voice, "What do you say about whether you look at it or not, how can a woman like her be surrounded by this heavy palace wall." ”
The tone couldn't hide the faint loss.
"Also, the one next to her is also a handsome boy." Dan Yi looked at Xuan Mingdao who was following behind Mo Ruqi.
"Him?" Yuwen Tongyi smiled lightly: "It's just that Lang is affectionate, and the concubine has no intention." ”
Hearing this, Dan Yi looked at him and joked with a smile: "So, the prince is really tempted?" ”
Yuwen Tongyi didn't answer, but said: "You help this king to prepare a generous gift, this king is going to the prime minister's mansion in the near future." ”
After speaking, he turned around and left, disappearing from the slightly stunned sight of the woman in red.
Three days later, the sky was clear.
"Pavilion Master, King Zhongtong has arrived. Say I'm waiting for you at the door. "The disciples in the pavilion came to pray.
Mo Ruqi put down the book in his hand and said, "I almost forgot, I asked King Zhongtong to go to Taiwei's Mansion today." ”
At the entrance of the bamboo garden, Yuwen Tongyi leaned on the huge trunk of the ancient tree, and the morning light reflected on his soapy bamboo brocade robe through the mottled shadows, plating him with a layer of faint light.
Seeing Mo Ruqi come out, Yuwen Tongyi put away the folding fan, his eyes fell on her ruddy face, and said with a smile: "Your complexion looks much better." ”
Mo Ruqi smiled lightly, turned over quickly, got on the horse easily, grabbed the reins, and said, "Yes, thanks to your medicinal herbs, plus a month of recuperation, I have almost recovered, and I can finally accompany you to have a glass of wine!" ”
As he spoke, Mo Ruqi raised the horsewhip, and the BMW under his crotch rushed forward.
Yuwen Tongyi was not far behind, jumped on the horse lightly, and chased after him, and the two horses were on par and neck to neck.
Under the guidance of Yuwen Tongyi, Mo Ruqi came to the Taiwei Mansion seven years ago.
Mo Ruqi knew in her heart that after seven years, she couldn't find any clues when she came to Taiwei Mansion, not to mention that Duan Taiwei did not die in the mansion by himself back then.
She just wanted to see the place where her father, whom she had never met, lived. What is this place where she should have lived since she was a child, this place that her mother has always looked forward to living in her dreams.
And looking for the deceased of Taiwei Duan, she just wants to know more about her father and what kind of person she usually is. Why did he give birth to her with his mother back then, let his mother give birth to a child for him willingly, and raised himself alone without complaint, and couldn't let him go until he died.
If it can be confirmed by the charge of King Beichen for murdering the court officials, it will be an unexpected joy.
"I didn't expect that for seven years, this house is still there, and it has not been sold, occupied, or rewarded to other officials."
Standing under the mottled plaque, looking at the three words 'Taiwei Mansion' that had already fallen off the gold paint, Mo Ruqi sighed in her heart, but in front of King Zhongtong, she hid all the emotions in her heart.
Yuwen Tongyi stood behind her and said, "Taiwei Duan died violently, his wife was separated, and more than 130 Lao Yan flew apart. In previous years, because the case was pending, the government could not be disposed of. As the matter was slowly forgotten, the imperial court did not take care of the mansion. It was also given to some officials, but because of this, the mansion was considered to be bad for feng shui, and no one dared to live in it, and no one came in, so it was abandoned. ”
Mo Ruqi nodded, raised heavy steps and walked into the door.
Although it has been abandoned for seven years, you can still vaguely see the magnificent and luxurious appearance of the year. Although it has been overgrown with human-height weeds, it can be vaguely seen that the winding verandah, because no one has taken care of it, the garden in the courtyard is full of precious flowers and trees, and now it is all occupied by bushes. Even the bluestone slabs that were attached to them were overgrown with tree roots and weeds.
Looking at everything mottled, Mo Ruqi's heart seemed to be scalded by boiling water, making her brag about the pain.
The hand hidden in the sleeve, unconsciously, has already clenched into a fist, and the nails are dug into the flesh without realizing it. However, there was no expression on his face.
"I don't think there's anything to be found here." Looking at the dilapidated scene in front of him, Yuwen Tongyi said.
Mo Ruqi nodded indifferently, but her eyes looked greedily at the place where her father, whom she had never met, and refused to let go of an inch.
"King Zhongtong, do you have a way to help me buy this house?" Mo Ruqi asked suddenly.
"Buy this house?" Yuwen Tongyi couldn't believe it.
"yes, I'm moving here." Mo Ruqi said slowly.
Why is that? Don't you like Bamboo Garden? Yuwen Tongyi was puzzled, this house had been abandoned for many years, and everyone in Kyoto was afraid to avoid it. She actually said she was going to buy the house.
Mo Ruqi was afraid that Yuwen Tongyi would misunderstand, so he explained: "Actually, since I knew that Zhuyuan was a house under your name, I was thinking about changing my residence. ”
Seeing Yuwen Tongyi's face gloomy, she explained: "King Zhongtong, don't think about it, I do like Zhuyuan, but after all, it is a property in your name. If one day I start to act, if anyone notices that I live in Zhuyuan, I am afraid that people will inevitably suspect the cooperation between you and me. What's more, I didn't accept the house given to me by Emperor Zhonghou. If one day, Emperor Zhong Hou finds out that I live in your bamboo garden, what will he think?
"That makes sense. However, there are many mansions in Kyoto that you can choose from, so why choose here? Yuwen Tongyi was still puzzled.
Mo Ruqi suddenly smiled easily: "I have never believed in feng shui. Moreover, Taiwei Duan did not die in the mansion, so there was nothing unlucky. Although this house has been abandoned for so long, it is the Taiwei Mansion after all, and as long as it is taken care of a little, it will definitely not be inferior to Zhuyuan. What's more, compared to other houses in Kyoto, it is estimated that you can save a lot of money by buying this house, what do you say? ”
Mo Ruqi said with a light smile, but with that naughty look, no one was very serious when they saw it.
Yuwen Tongyi naturally knew that she didn't care about this bit of silver, but this reason was indeed something he couldn't refute, so he only said: "I ordered someone to help you check, but I can't come forward, so as not to make people suspicious. ”
Mo Ruqi nodded approvingly.
