Chapter 36: Entering the Palace
Kyoto East Street, a humble tea shop, the lobby with only five tables looks a little cramped, and the shop business is excellent, and the endless stream of people come to drink tea, which is a little crowded. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
There is an unwritten rule in the tea shop, only allowed to drink and not allowed to bring, the tea of this shop is different from others, the tea has a fruity aroma, which is very popular with people, that is, the business is good to the extreme.
Di changed into the clothes of an ordinary son-in-law, and when he entered the tea shop, there was no seat, and he stood at the door and stared for a while, and then a small servant greeted him.
"Yo, sir. It's really unfortunate that there is no place in the shop now, or why don't you sit in the waiting area? "The little girl's eyes are shining, and after a long time in business, he must know how to deal with people.
Di frowned, as if he couldn't believe that this place was actually the stronghold of the Dark Pavilion, and thought of what he had said to him the day before, suppressed the doubts in his heart, took out a piece of jade with an extremely warm texture, and showed a corner very low-key: "Xiao Er, look at this jade, what kind of tea can you drink?" ”
Although some don't understand what the rules of this dark pavilion are, the heavens let themselves say so, so they just said so.
The light in his eyes flashed, Xiao Er immediately understood the intention of the visitor, put away his previous expression, suddenly became serious, lowered his eyes, and whispered: "Childe come with me." After speaking, he raised his hand and followed him.
nodded, and saw that the people in the dark pavilion were also well-trained, and followed the little guy to the back room.
Originally, I thought that this tea shop was also the same as Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and the back room was also a place with holes, but I didn't think that the moment I picked up the curtain, it was completely different from what I thought in my heart.
Less than half the size of the lobby, it is divided into three areas, two smaller and one larger. One of the smaller rooms is the pantry, and at the moment there is a teapot boiling, and the fragrance of tea is overflowing.
"Childe, please come here." The servant knocked on the door and motioned into the largest room.
Entering the room, the place that catches the eye is extremely simple, a wooden bed, a pear flower table, two openwork chairs, things are simple but not simple, because the ground can be seen at a glance, they are all fine wood.
A slightly burly middle-aged man sat on a chair, put his hands on the table, and showed a steady smile to the ground: "Childe, please take a seat." ”
He took off his clothes and sat down opposite the man, and the ground didn't hide anything, and he said directly: "Shopkeeper, I'm here to buy news." ”
The man didn't respond directly, but poured a cup of tea and pushed it to the ground without hurrying: "Childe will taste my tea first." ”
glanced at the man inexplicably, took a sip of the cup, and said again: "Shopkeeper, I'm here to buy news." ”
Hearing the hurried words, the man still smiled like a spring breeze: "What news does the son want to buy?" ”
Seeing that the other party finally got to the point, Di Ye also opened his mouth directly: "The eldest prince, Mu Yungu." ”
As soon as the words began, a coldness crossed the man's eyes, he glanced at the face on the ground, tapped his fingers on the table, and thoughts surged into his words: "Childe, this news will cost a lot." ”
Di was not surprised at all, and there was some arrogance in his tone: "Money, the master naturally has it." ”
This time, the man did not speak for a long time, and after a long stalemate, he finally gave in, exited the room, and came back with a pamphlet in his hand.
brushed the ground, and stared at the booklet in the man's hand, but saw that the man's right hand was clenched tightly, but his left hand was stretched out to himself.
Di thought he understood what he meant at once, took out ten deposit tickets from his arms, and put them on the table: "Here are ten thousand taels of silver deposit tickets." ”
saw the man shake his head with a smile on his face: "Gold." ”
Suddenly stunned, a little stunned, the last time the people under his command went to check the news about the eldest lady of the Du family, it cost a full 50,000 taels of gold, but it was worth it, how can today's news be so expensive?
"Ten thousand taels of gold? Inevitably, it's a bit excessive. Looking at the other party's smiling and calm appearance, the patience of the ground has been worn out a little.
"The news of the Dark Pavilion is of valuable value, let alone the news of the royal family." The man is not impatient, there is a lot of news, and it is not bad to sell this trip, "If the son thinks it is not worth it, he can choose to give up the purchase." ”
With that, he received the booklet in his hand in his sleeve.
Seeing that the booklet was put away, the ground was already a little angry, but for the news not to attack, the dark pavilion has many connections, and it is impossible to do some action on the shopkeeper, thinking of the task arranged by the master, he was finally ruthless, slapped it with a palm, and took out a 10,000 taels of gold deposit ticket in his arms.
"Take it!" Pushing the deposit ticket in front of the shopkeeper, there was some unwillingness between the eyebrows and eyes, this dark pavilion is simply a trick, and I thought that this is the future princess pit our prince, and I was angry again.
The man picked up the deposit ticket, carefully touched the stamp on the ticket, took out the booklet again, and handed it to the ground: "Childe, but you must put it away, once this booklet leaves here, it will have nothing to do with the dark pavilion, and I hope to know." ”
As soon as he snatched the booklet over, the anger between his eyebrows and eyes was already surging, he stood up and walked out, and as soon as his hand touched the deadbolt of the door, he suddenly remembered the master's order, and he must let the dark pavilion know that it was the news that we bought from the palace.
He stopped, turned back again, sat down again, tried his best to suppress the indignation in his heart, stared at the man and asked, "You dark pavilion, don't you want to know who the buyer is?" ”
As if he had heard some joke, the man burst out laughing: "Where is Childe, if Childe goes to the market to sell something, will he still ask who the buyer's name is?" ”
In a word, the meaning is clearly expressed, the dark pavilion has always only been selling and selling and not participating in right and wrong, who the buyer is, and does not care, just give the silver.
Choked to death by this man again, the earth could no longer hold back the expression on his face, and his face sank suddenly: "Listen, this news was bought by King Lizun, and your master will marry our master soon!" ”
There was a slight fluctuation in his eyes, but he was a person who had been through various scenes for a long time, and the shopkeeper's expression was still unmoved: "Isn't my master still married?" ”
"You!" The fingers pointed at him sharply, and the ground could not bear it anymore, and withdrew his hand fiercely, opened the door and walked out.
Before the door was closed, the previous servant stood at the door and looked, and after thinking about it, he came in: "Li Guan, that person ......"
The person known as Li Guan raised his hand to stop what the little servant was about to say: "Go and inform the Shenmu General Division, someone bought the news of the eldest prince, and he also intended to let the dark pavilion know that it was bought by the Lizun Palace." Between his eyebrows, he pondered.
Nodding violently, the little guy retreated, ready to report the situation to Shen Mu.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――
When they arrived at the palace gate, without accident, Du Weiwei and Zikou's carriage was stopped.
"Who's in the car?" The guard's serious voice sounded, and Du Wei sat in the car and listened, anxious in his heart, but it still did not appear on his face.
Zikou was driving the car outside, and her voice was clear: "Du Weiwei, the concubine of Xiangguo's mansion, is driving, and I hope that your eldest brother will make it convenient." Knowing that he didn't have any proof that he could enter the palace, Zi Ko said softly.
"How can this work? Without a certificate of entry into the palace, no one is allowed to enter the palace! The guards were righteous, and were not prepared to let go.
"I was tired of reporting the thirteen princes, and the courtier Du Wei begged to see him enter the palace." Seeing that he couldn't enter, Du Weiwei also began to be a little anxious, and his voice sounded from the car, but he didn't show up.
"If you let the report be reported, you won't look ......at it" The guard's words were extremely arrogant, and when he heard that there was also a woman in the car, his words became more and more disrespectful.
Before the words fell, Du Weiwei lifted the curtain of the car, and his cold eyes swept over the guards who spoke, and suddenly, the person was shocked to lose his voice, and the horror in Du Weiwei's eyes was terrifying.
Some bowed stiffly, and the man's speech was a little knotted: "I...... I inform...... I'm going to report ......" After speaking, he turned around and disappeared in an instant.
Looking at the rest of the guards who were still standing straight, as if they hadn't seen this scene, Du Weiwei sat back in the car.
After a quarter of an hour, Du Weiwei was worried about her mother, and her patience in her heart had been exhausted, just when she raised the curtain of the car, got out of the car, and was about to go directly inside, a sweet voice stopped her.
"Sister Wei!"
Raising his eyes and looking into the distance, Mu Yunji ran towards him one after another, and behind him was Mu Yunjin, who was still dressed in white and fluttering like a gentleman.
Du Weiwei's eyebrows instantly relaxed: "Ah Ji." ”
Mu Yunji ran away happily, and hugged Du Weiwei's legs: "Sister Wei, you really came to the palace to see me!" In the words, there was indescribable excitement and happiness.
Touching Mu Yunji's little head with his hand, his eyes glanced at the guard before, and he didn't say anything, he looked at Mu Yunjin again, and smiled gently.
The guards were already too scared, if this young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion sued herself in front of the prince, she was afraid that her little life would not be saved, and she stood aside tremblingly, with a worried face.
Mu Yunji couldn't do it happily, and took Du Weiwei's hand and walked inside: "Sister Wei, I'll take you to my palace!" ”
Unable to resist the child's enthusiasm, Du Wei raised his steps and walked in, but a strong sense of frustration rose in his heart, the palace was so big, he came in recklessly, but he forgot the most important thing, he didn't know which palace his mother was in.
Seeing that Du Weiwei was pulled inside by Mu Yunji, Mu Yunjin smiled and ordered the guards to park their carriage and followed.
Zi Ko carried the food box and followed behind Mu Yunjin.
Catching a glimpse of what Zi Ko was carrying, Mu Yunjin turned around and looked at her and smiled: "This is?" ”
Zikou entered the palace for the first time, but she also knew that she had to be cautious in her words and deeds, so she kept her head down, and when she saw Mu Yunjin speak, her head hung lower: "Back to the words of the fourth prince, this is the mint cake made by the young lady, and it was specially brought to the thirteen princes...... and the Four Princes. Originally, he was only going to say that it was for the thirteen princes, but when he saw the four princes standing in front of him and spoke, he also said it.
With another warm smile, Mu Yunjin took the food box from her hand: "Let's go." ”
Zikou was shocked: "Fourth prince, this ......" This is not in accordance with the rules, how can you let the master take things.
"Didn't you say it was for me and Ji'er? I'm carrying it, and it's fine. Mu Yunjin said gently, and he didn't even call himself a prince.
Zi Kom blushed all of a sudden, buried her head deeply, followed Mu Yunjin's steps, and secretly thought in her heart that these four princes were really gentle, and thought that if someone like Du Piaoling wanted to marry such a gentleman, she felt that it was a pity that she was a tyrannical thing.
