Chapter 263: The Craftsman Invited
Xiao Si said with a deep look: "I discussed with him, this person seems to be a little suspicious, it's best to find someone to check." ”
Mo Yan pondered for a moment and then raised his head to look at him and asked, "I'm afraid it's too late to set off." ”
Xiao Si was silent for a moment, turned his head to look at the silent building, and lowered his voice and said, "Even if you don't wake up, you have to rush to the north?" "Didn't you hear that the palace has been preparing for the past few days?"
Mo Yan sneered and said, "I ordered the transformation of a carriage half a month ago, and it was prepared for this time. "Childe's situation is not good, and he can't delay the opportunity if he insists on going his own way, so he is determined to leave."
Xiao Si sighed and said, "How can this work, the northern land is not better than here, at least it can be more comfortable." "She's sure that Childe will get better on the road?"
When Mo Yan heard this, he glanced at Xiao Si quietly. "It's really for the good of the son, how can you leave at this time?"
Mo Yan suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart, and she said with sarcasm in her eyes: "It's all for her own purposes." "There's something I want to talk about, and I have to tell you." Xiao Si just took this opportunity to confess to Mo Yan.
In his opinion, the people who have ties with the son, the empress is too, and so is the girl, so it is quite appropriate to put them together. "After the girl left the palace, she went to the north." Xiao Si said softly.
Mo Yan's eyes flashed a cold light, his eyebrows couldn't help but rise, and his tone also improved a few points: "Where did you get the news?" "Who else?" Over there. “
Xiao Si tilted his head and said, "Before she left, she asked the guard at the north gate to send a letter, and it only arrived in the hands of the one in the Lin De Palace." The content is to set off for the Northlands. "Why didn't she say anything?" Mo Yan thought for a while and said, "Does it have something to do with the piece of paper written by the son himself who showed her?" "You and I can't read the handwriting on it, just listen to her." It is true that clues can only be found in the Northland, and it is very likely that she will find the way. "Will there be a problem with the letter?" After Mo Yan thought about it, he said cautiously, "The guards at the north gate sent it to the Lin De Palace, and how many people passed in the middle?" “
Xiao Si shook his head and said: "Among the joints, the one in the Lin De Hall will not reveal it to me carefully, this is the manpower he arranged." How can you tell me the truth? "But if you are worried about the truth of the faith, I can tell you with certainty that the faith is true."
Xiao Si said with confidence. "On what basis?" Mo Yan's face sank slightly.
The tone doesn't sound very comfortable. Xiao Si didn't care about his attitude, and said bluntly: "There is a prescription attached to the Lin De Palace. ”
"You know, that girl has been taught by her son, and she has learned a little bit of three-legged cat medicine. The prescription was prescribed by her. "Actually, the things of faith are still obvious." Xiao Si Zhengse said, "The one in Lin De Hall recognizes her handwriting." “
Mo Yan was stunned for a moment, and then slowly squinted his eyes. "Before I came, I was still in suspense, seeing that the time for the palace banquet was coming, and the son hadn't woken up yet, it was the best."
When Xiao Si spoke, the expression on his face looked a lot more relaxed: "I'm worried that Gongzi just woke up, and he has his own ideas." What if you want to go? "Don't worry about that now, you and I don't need to stop me." "Childe stayed in Penglai Pavilion well. As for the Northland's expedition, there are still two days to go, so we can wait. "You went out of the palace with the one from the Lin De Hall today?" Mo Yan looked at Xiao Si and changed the topic and asked.
Xiao Si nodded and said, "He went to the lake on the outskirts of the city to confirm the venue with the officials of the Yamen of the National Capital, and it was almost an hour and a half since he came back." "There's a little bit more to it than that."
Xiao Si stopped when he said this.
Mo Yan glanced at him and instantly understood: "The one who occupies the magpie's nest?" "Yes, the people were handed over and sent to the southern border of Zealand."
Mo Yan was stunned and said, "Isn't that the place that borders the monks?" ”
"Lian is deep in the mountains, send him to be a monk?"
The corners of the little four lips smiled: "I said the same thing, I heard that it was sent over for self-cultivation." ”
"I thought he would move outside the palace to give him some sweetness and then solve it."
Xiao Si was stunned for a moment, and then laughed self-deprecatingly: "At the beginning, I guessed the same way. ”
"I didn't expect you and I to be wrong, the one in the Lin De Hall not only decided to let him go, but also arranged a good place for him," Xiao Si paused and said meaningfully, "I look better than this pool of muddy water in the Sealand Palace." ”
"What the hell is this man's mind going on?" Mo Yan said with emotion.
"Sometimes I really can't understand it," Xiao Si had the same opinion, and couldn't help but complain, "The same origin and the same ancestry, and the mind is also twisted and turned, and I can't see it really." ”
"You don't understand if you follow closely, let alone me!"
Mo Yan glanced at him coldly, and Xiao Si smiled: "It's too much to dislike you, I'll go first." ”
"Where are you going?" Mo Yan asked.
Xiao Si said solemnly: "There are still two days to go, I plan to ask the person surnamed Chen to contact someone outside and check the background of the girl in the flower garden. ”
Mo Yan lowered his eyes and thought for a while: "There are still people in the pavilion in the city, and there are them in the wine shop, so it's safer to find them to check." ”
"That's what I intended." Xiao Si said calmly
Fu was surrounded by the gang and reasoned about it, but it was the guards who came forward to persuade her to get out.
Squeezing out the crowd, Fu walked the path into the courtyard, and after entering the door, her heart was a little settled.
A palace maid had already got the news and came forward to inquire, Fu told the things in the courtyard, and several people felt that it was tricky, the palace banquet was about to start soon, how could it be messed up at this time.
Fu glanced in the direction of Su Hyun's study in the courtyard, pursed her lips and said, "Is your gentleman back?" ”
She was opened by Su Hyun by the lake, and the other party made an appointment to meet someone, and Fu was not easy to force to stay, but the rules of tonight's palace banquet were announced on the way to the palace when she came back.
The little palace maid exchanged glances and said, "Your lord has been back for a while, but he has never come out after being locked in the study. I don't know if I'm reading a book or falling asleep. ”
Fu asked cautiously, "Have you ever brought tea to the study?" “
Several of the little palace maids shook their heads.
Fu sent a few of them away and went directly to the study to find Su Hyun.
When she got to the door, she knocked a few times. I held my breath and listened to the movement, and when I got a response, I walked in.
Su Hyun was standing by the shelf with a book in her hand, and when she saw Fu coming in, she glanced in her direction and didn't speak.
The person at the center of the incident seemed to be very calm at the moment, unaware of the chaos outside, and looked like he was drunk in a book without hearing what was going on outside the window.
Fu's irritable mood was also soothed a little because of Su Hyun's calmness.
"Your lord, those beauties waiting outside the courtyard are making a fuss."
"Say yes," Fern hesitated slightly. She definitely couldn't repeat those words that she didn't like, so she had to say them tactfully.
Fu smiled bitterly and subconsciously looked out the window and said, "They don't obey the rules. It is said that it is rare to see His Majesty's side, and His Majesty is going to be recruited in person immediately, and he has to practice for His Majesty before leaving. ”
"Can't the outer court practice it?" Su Hyun said coldly, "Besides, it's not just me who meant. It's the same with the Emperor's side. ”
Fu avoided Su Hyun's sharp eyes: "You don't come forward." They all thought it was your decision alone, and said that they would ask the emperor about it. ”
Fu felt that those people were unreasonable and made her angry, and she was a little wronged.
"How can he bother to care about these people!"
Su Hyun closed the book in his hand, put it on the shelf again, and thought for a moment: "The group of people in the southwest are raised in the palace to make trouble. ”
"The war in the north is over, and His Majesty will be selected again in the fall of next year, and it has been almost two years since there were no newcomers coming in."
Su Xun paused for a few seconds and said, "If His Majesty could think of them, he wouldn't have left the stall until now." ”
"I thought we'd see each other tonight. Just one step to the sky? "Wishful thinking!" Su Hyun said unhappily.
"One of them was particularly violent. The guards were a little overwhelmed. ”
Fu had palpitations, lowered her head and said aggrievedly.
"Who?" Su Hyun suddenly became suspicious in his heart, and couldn't help asking.
Fu told the person's physical characteristics, Su Xun frowned, as if he couldn't remember who the other party was, turned his head and coughed.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside, and Su Xun looked at the guards who came in and said, "Go to the yard, take the one who made the most trouble back to the southwest, and throw him in his own yard." “
Su Hyun lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and said lightly: "You are not allowed to come out after being grounded for three months, and two guards are sent to guard it." ”
"Do it now!"
The guard led the order and turned around and walked out of the courtyard, Su Xun looked at Shangfu and said, "Clean up one, and the rest should be safer." ”
In the evening, on the road in the palace, a horse-drawn carriage slowly drove in.
Occasionally, when a palace person passes by, he can't help but raise his head to take a look, and some of them have sharp eyes, and they recognize this as Penglai Pavilion's car in an instant.
In the past, there were people in the palace who saw the national teacher go out and ride in such a carriage.
The car that the national teacher sat in was different from that of other people in the palace, especially the car of the Emperor of the Lin De Palace.
The elaborate decoration on the carriage does not show the identity, and it is impossible to see the inside when you look at it from the outside.
The person driving in the carriage was not under Penglai Pavilion, but the guards beside the empress.
The car followed the road inside the palace until it reached the empress's bedchamber, and waited outside.
Not long after, the empress personally took Gu Qimei out, she got in the car first to feel it, and nodded with satisfaction.
When she came down, the empress said to Gu Qimei: "Let the repair office also send someone to come and have a look, and then send the car to Penglai Pavilion to the National Teacher." “
Gu Qimei hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, is the master of the repair office coming to see if the decoration on the car needs to be added?" “
The empress shook her head and said, "I just missed it, there is a craftsman surnamed Yu in the construction office, who is good at this, you ask him to take a look, he understands what I mean." “
Gu Qimei agreed half-understandingly, and after the empress left the dormitory and went to the study, she hurriedly asked someone to ask the master Yu from the construction office
The attendants left the empress's dormitory and hurried to the building place.
The fog on the road in the palace became thicker at night, and the attendants did not dare to slow down, for fear that they would hit people on the path, so they deliberately rushed over from the main road in the palace.
The people in the building place are at this time of the day at their most leisurely time.
The group of people who had been sent to help Penglai Pavilion repair the flower beds had already returned to the courtyard of the repair office, and they were sitting on the stone benches under the trees to rest, and some people were waiting by the well to fetch water and wash their faces.
The weather is cold, but the atmosphere here is different from other places.
The attendant shouted at the gate of the courtyard, "Which one is Master Yu?" “
The laughter in the courtyard was silenced by this shout, and the steward of the construction office walked to the front of the courtyard, who happened to have met the attendants beside the empress, and he stepped forward and saluted and asked with a smile, "Why are you here?" “
The attendant hurriedly replied, "Don't dare to be, Your Majesty wants to invite your Master Yu here to go." “
The steward returned to the house, and soon a craftsman in his forties came out, walked up to the attendant and said, "Hurry up and lead the way." ”
Don't say much, because it is the meaning of the empress, no one dares to delay.
As for the reason for the invitation, it was probably because Master Yu knew it, so he didn't ask much.
Walking all the way to the forest, the attendant looked sideways at Master Yu, about forty years old, this face has never been seen before, but seeing that he is working in the construction office at his age, he should have been here for a long time.
The attendant couldn't understand the other party's situation, so he took the initiative to say: "Master Yu, Your Majesty has made a carriage and just sent it to be parked in the courtyard outside the dormitory. ”
"Lady Gu beside Her Majesty asked me to invite you to come over and have a look, I heard that it means Majesty, has Master Yu been in the army before?"
The attendant speculated for a while, thinking that this was more likely, and the latter smiled when he heard this: "Yes, I was injured and retired from the army, and I have been staying in the building office to do things." ”
The two of them entered the courtyard, Gu Qimei waited by the carriage for a while, and saw that the person brought by the attendant should be the craftsman master that the empress said, so she hurriedly approached and asked him to get in the car to see.
Master Yu got into the car, looked at it carefully, and then got down, and asked with horror in Gu Qimei's eyes: "Have you ever seen this car in person?" ”
Gu Qimei felt a little strange, nodded and said, "Your Majesty has seen it, and I have gone up to sit on it, and I will ask you to come and see it after confirming that there is no problem." ”
"What did you say?"
"Your Majesty said, please confirm with Master Yu, there is no problem."
Master Yu was silent for a long time before he raised his head and whispered, "There is no problem." ”
Before he went back, he turned his head and asked Gu Qimei, "This car is the one sitting in?" ”
Gu Qimei nodded yes, she walked over a few steps and approached the craftsman and said suspiciously: "Master Yu, please confirm carefully, this matter Your Majesty ordered me to do, if I am afraid that Your Majesty will question me." “
Master Yu looked at Gu Qimei's eyes, shook his head and said, "It's confirmed." “
Until Master Yu left the courtyard, Gu Qimei felt that the other party's appearance was really strange and a little confused! (To be continued......)
