27. Fright
Zheng Xinghe responded with a smile and a smile, so he had to bite the bullet and send the box to the Pingnan Palace, begging the chief steward Wei Ping to hand it in.
Wei Ping's face was gloomy and he listened to the reply in the hand of Wei Ping, the chief steward of the palace, his eyes fell on the wooden box in Wei Ping's hand, and his whole body was covered with a fierce cold, and he saw Wei Ping's cold sweat, Wei Jian retracted his gaze with a strained face, and did not answer the box, and walked out of the house with his feet.
Wei Ping looked at Wei Ping's back inexplicably, sighed in embarrassment for a long time, stared at the box in his hand for a while, and suddenly a bright light flashed in his mind, and turned around and went to the outer study to ask King Pingnan.
King Pingnan was sitting in a rocking chair drinking tea slowly, listening to the reply of the garrison who had just returned from inquiring about the news from outside.
“…… That Zheng Xinghe claimed that the owner's surname was Han, and the name of the proprietor on the title deed was also written as Han Yuanyin. Wei Jia made a special check again, and only found out that Han Yuanyin was from Qiannan, Qinghe opened a pharmacy in Qiannan in the eighteenth year, and Qinghe disappeared after the nineteenth year. Look, do you want to go south to get a message and let them follow and check it out? ”
"You can figure it out!" King Pingnan pulled his beard and glared at the guard, and snorted angrily, "Lao Tzu commanded with the front foot, and the bastard on the back foot can know!" Muttering and scolding, Fang frowned and asked, "What about the bastard?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Wei Ping outside held the box and asked for instructions at the door: "Master, just now the shopkeeper of Jingfeng Pharmacy sent a wooden box over, saying that it was for the prince...... The prince didn't answer, nor did he tell the little one to send the things back. Look, this-"
Wang Pingnan jumped up from his chair suddenly: "What box?" Bring it in! ”
Wei Ping hurriedly carried the box into the house, bowed over and handed it over.
King Pingnan snatched the wooden box, opened the box suspiciously, stared at the title deed inside for a moment, froze for a moment, and asked the garrison: "Look at it, where is this title deed?" ”
Wei Shu also looked puzzled, hurriedly took the box, picked up two from it and looked at it carefully, and glanced at Wei Ping with a strange face, and coughed hesitantly: "If you go back to your master, this is like a merchant on East Street." After a pause, he added unconvincedly, "Little remember, this place seems to be the Shen family's shop......
"The Shen family's shop?" King Pingnan twisted his brows and thought about it, and ordered the garrison, "Let Wei Jia come over, and the master has something to ask him!" ”
The garrison hurriedly agreed to withdraw, but after a while he turned back again, followed by a middle-aged man in his forties and a mediocre appearance.
King Pingnan twisted his beard and paced around the house twice, thinking and thinking, Fang paused and looked at Wei Jia: "Where has the prince been these days?" What's going on with the people around him? ”
Wei Jia was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses very quickly, and hurriedly bowed down and pondered: "If you go back to the master, in addition to going to the military department in the past few days, the prince has gone to Qingfeng Building with the fifth master of the Luo family, and I haven't paid attention to other small places for the time being." As for the people around Shi Ziye-" Wei Jia thought for a while, Fang continued, "I haven't heard of any movement, it's just that when I went to the mansion today, I happened to see Ning Si bidding to buy a shop......
"What kind of shop to buy? You make it clear! King Pingnan was stunned for a while, and interrupted Wei Jia's words impatiently, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Wei Jia hurriedly repeated what Zhao Xiaosi said at the yamen, and at the end, seeing that King Pingnan was still full of doubts, he told the matter of Yue Xiuzhuang in front of him.
King Pingnan listened to Wei Jia's words dumbfounded, and after a long time, he slapped the table with a slap, and turned around in the room to himself, Fang turned around and pointed at the chief steward Wei Ping: "This box was personally sent by Zheng Xinghe from Jingfeng Pharmacy?" What's not to say? ”
"Hui Ye, is it...... The little one had seen the big shopkeeper of Jingfeng Pharmacy before, and he personally sent it over, saying that the prince had gone to their shop to order something before, and asked the little one to hand it over on his behalf. The little one asked the prince for advice, and then he took the box. ”
King Pingnan raised his eyebrows and twisted his beard and groaned. Ning Si must have bought the shop on the orders of that stinky boy, but the title deed and the deed ran to Zheng Xinghe's hand, and after a circle, the people sent it back to the kid, and the kid was not happy - these ten ** things were not sent out! The bastard boy in front of him came back with a stiff face, obviously hitting a wall, and most of the shops bought it were ...... Want to please someone?
King Pingnan was startled by the sudden thought in his mind, his eyes widened, and it took him a long time to come to his senses, and he slapped the table again, his fingers trembled and pointed at the guard, and he commanded with a strange face: "Check that little girl from the Lu family!" ”
Wei Jia's eyes moved, and he glanced at the garrison blankly, and in the excited eyes of King Pingnan, he had to agree, turned around and retreated.
King Pingnan's eyebrows were raised so much that he was about to fly out, his face turned red, and he pulled his beard and turned around the room several times before raising his hand at Wei Ping: "You go and call that bastard boy over!" said that Lao Tzu had already taken a fancy to a family affair for him, and Ming'er would go to propose marriage! ”
Wei Ping listened to King Pingnan's instructions in a daze, swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and walked out of the door with weak steps, so he had to go to Wei Ji hard.
King Pingnan watched Wei Ping go out, paced behind the desk with his hands behind his back, knocked his fingers on the table, and asked Wei Shu with his eyebrows: "Do you remember, when celebrating the nineteenth year, your prince and the boy of the Luo family picked up a little girl on Mangshan - Lu Chenghui's daughter?" You say, is that little girl fifteen years old this year? ”
Without waiting for the garrison to reply, King Pingnan twisted his beard with a face full of relief, and muttered to himself: "This little girl is interesting, she has endured it quietly for so many years, and when Lu Chenghui came back, she was caught off guard by killing others, and she really knew how to judge the situation!" If you don't make a move, it will be amazing, this technique is very similar to the old man of the Shen family, no wonder that bastard boy is also deflated! That Zheng Xinghe Shiyou** is the girl of the Lu family. That bastard kid has been staring at others for half a year, he is in the dark, and people are in the light, so he still blocked the family back, he is far from that little girl! Hey, this girl really looks like someone from Lao Tzuwei's family......"
The garrison listened to King Pingnan's chatter speechlessly, and was so stunned that he couldn't answer a word. Before these eight characters are brushed up, the prince is happy? The appearance of the prince is obviously not good, and I am afraid that I can't draw it......
******
In the Wangmei Courtyard of Lu Mansion, Lu Wan was crooked on the kang at this time looking at a few girls pasting lanterns with great interest, and just pasted two, when he saw Zhou Tai silently jumping down from the wall, stepping on the snow and quietly walking to the window, glanced at a few girls in the house, lowered his voice and said to Lu Wan: "That master is ...... outside"
The smile on Lu Wan's face froze for a moment, then she sat up from the kang, stared at Zhou Tai and frowned and asked, "Wei Jie?" When did he come? ”
"I've been standing for more than a quarter of an hour." Zhou Tai nodded, paused, glanced at Lu Wan's face, and hesitated: "He asked me to bring you a message." ”
"You're a guard, you're not doing business, what are you doing robbing the little guy?" Lu Wan glanced at Zhou Tai speechlessly, and motioned for Yumo to withdraw first, Fang raised his eyebrows and said, "What did he say?" ”
"In the nineteenth year of Qinghe, Mangshan." Zhou Tai froze and copied Wei Yan's words with a stiff face, and only then did he glance at Lu Wan quickly, and coughed with little confidence, "That master's face is not very good-looking." Or would you give him a reply? ”
Lu Wan held the teacup and held her hand for a moment, the tea soup was slightly rippling, and the tea splashed on her hand, but Lu Wan didn't seem to notice the heat, she looked up and glanced at Zhou Tai unhurriedly, and there was a hint of coldness hidden in her eyes, seeing that Zhou Tai's heart was inexplicably tight, and the words behind her choked in her throat and couldn't speak.
After a long while, Lu Wan sneered, retracted his gaze, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and ordered without raising his head: "You go down." ”
Zhou Tai's breath stagnated, and he glanced at Lu Wan with a complicated look, and then took a few steps back, jumped up, and the person fell to the wall, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Lu Wan looked at Zhou Tai's back, his face sank, his fingers pinched the teacup and slowly turned, his heart was surging, and in an instant, he seemed to have returned to the scene of dead bodies everywhere on Mangshan seven years ago.
It wasn't until Lu Zhi and Zhu Qing came in with a lantern and smiled to reply that Lu Wan suddenly woke up from the mottled bloodstains, rubbed his brows and took a breath, stood up from the kang, put on his shoes, wrapped his cloak and walked out of the house, standing in the middle of the courtyard, watching the girls in the courtyard giggling and hanging lanterns.
In less than a quarter of an hour, red lanterns were hung everywhere in the corridor, and the green branch ran over with Zhuqing, pointed to the gate of the courtyard and smiled at Lu Wan: "Girl, look, there are still two lanterns left at our door, I asked Sister Yumo to hurry up and paste two more!" ”
Lu Wan smiled and nodded, watched a few girls laugh out of the yard, took a deep breath, the cold air mixed with the fragrance of plum blossoms instantly poured into the tip of her nose, she stood for a while, and was just about to turn around, but Leng Buding bumped into something hard, Lu Wan was startled, only felt a flower in front of her, subconsciously took a step back, and before she came back to her senses, she heard a low voice above her head: "You don't want to see me so much?" ”
