Chapter 2 A Thousand Miles Away
p>
p > Dong Rong thought about it, her face was much better, and she sighed, "Although this is the case, after all, the sword has no eyes." If Di Ge'er is injured a little bit, how can we explain to Geriletu. β
p > Murong Huaide hurriedly diverted the conversation, "There is definitely no danger in Di Ge'er, don't be suspenseful." If you have to worry, you might as well think about how to catch Brother Qi'er and their naughty ghosts. actually used the excuse of sending Di Ge'er to the north, staying outside and playing greedily and not coming back. β
p > sure enough, as soon as Dong Rong heard this, she hurriedly played a round for her son and daughter, "Oh, the children are also depressed on the island, studying and practicing martial arts all day long, adults can't stand it, let alone children." There are still a lot of guards around them, so let them go for a few days. β
p > Murong Huaide smiled secretly in his heart, but his face made a look of residual anger, "When they come back, see how I punish them..."
p> "Oops, don't say this, don't say this." Haven't you had lunch yet, it's such a hot day, why don't I make a bowl of cold noodles, let's eat together. β
P> "Okay, with a plate of beef in sauce and a plate of spicy chicken feet." β
p> "It's all up to you." β
P> couple talked and laughed and got on the trestle, and then stepped on the gangplank and got on the big boat.
The boat on the > floor is divided into three floors, the husband and wife are on the third floor, and the second floor is the reception and dining room. Soon, the aroma of fried meat sauce wafted from the ship, causing several boatmen who were working overtime to stir their noses from time to time.
p> two thirteen or fourteen-year-old little maids smiled and carried a tray to the third floor to set up the table, a few light side dishes, two large bowls of white raw noodles, a plate of fried meat sauce, although it is not rich, but it is rare to have a full range of color, flavor and flavor, which is very impressive.
p> Dong Rong and his wife changed into clean and light clothes, sat at the table hand in hand, and ate while gossiping.
>At this time, the sun was gradually approaching the sea level, and the orange-red glow dyed the sea a golden yellow, and countless children and women gathered on the seashore with baskets of various colors or copper basins, just waiting for the night to fall, and those little crabs ran out to feed, caught a basket and took it back, and sold it to the hoisin sauce workshop the next day, and got a penny for petty use, or they could mash and marinate it at home, and keep it for their daily meals.
p> Dong Rong and his wife had eaten, so they stood in front of the window holding hands and blowing the sea breeze to eliminate food. It was the time when they were at ease, but Fuzi and Yun Rui ran up from downstairs.
p > the two of them didn't expect the prince to be there, and they stood at the top of the stairs and were stunned for a while, so they came over honestly and bowed, their faces were very embarrassed.
p > Dong Rong was funny, so she relieved these two boys who grew up under her nose since childhood, and said with a smile, "You two, you are both fathers, why are you still reckless?" But what's the urgency of the workshop in Chenjiaji? β
p > Yunrui and Fuzi squinted with laughter when they heard the hostess mother mention their newborn child, the two have always been close, and they followed the fleet on the sea for a few years in the past few years, and last year they both married a pair of sisters of the Chen family, and became brothers-in-law, and they didn't want to be a father almost at the same time this year, so they were naturally overjoyed.
p>"Mrs. Hui, everything in the workshop is good." Yun Rui was kinder than Fuzi, and secretly looked at the prince's face was quite peaceful, so he had the courage to say again, "The workshop will send a batch of goods tomorrow, not to mention those valuable corals and pearls, even lobsters and other ingredients are not a little lazy, Fuzi and I can't rest assured, I want to personally escort the goods north, so I came to ask Mrs. for a favor." β
>When Murong Huaide heard this, he frowned slightly, and asked, "You are all gone, who is responsible for the workshop?" β
p > Fuzi hurriedly said, "The second Bao'er and Sixi brothers of the Chen family are both good at managing things, and it is good to manage them for two or three months." β
p> Dong Rong guessed that the two boys were confined at home for two or three months, and they were really depressed, and they planned to find an excuse to go to the north for a walk. Over the years, she doesn't know if she has stayed away from the relationship of disputes, and her mood has become more and more peaceful, and if it doesn't involve major events, she is willing to fulfill all the children.
P> then opened his mouth to help, "Lord Wang, since this is the case, let them go hard." We live on the island on the right and left, and we have a three-day boat ride, so we have time to take care of something. β
p> Fuzi and Yunrui immediately smiled when they heard this. Others don't know, those of them who have followed the master's family since they were children know best that the prince looks at Yan SΓΉ, but in fact, he is the most favored lady. The year before last, Mrs. only said that the shark teeth in the sea can be made into bracelets to ward off evil spirits, so he immediately took the fleet out to sea, killed a group of tiger head mirrors and fled in all directions, and came back with a bucket full of shark teeth. Whenever a child is born on the island, he will go to his wife and ask for one to hang around his neck to keep him safe.
p > such a dangerous and difficult thing, the prince has done it, not to mention such a trivial matter, he will definitely not refute Madame's words.
p> Sure enough, Murong Huaide looked at Dong Rong and smiled, and said lightly, "You just protect them, there are no rules for each." β
p > Dong Rong waved her hand at Fuzi and Yunrui, and saw them running down the stairs happily, so she smiled and hugged her husband's arm and said angrily, "Are you jealous of them, there will be an annual meeting in the business bank in March, and then we will go for a walk." After living on the island for a long time, I began to miss my hometown. Brother Ping took Wanyin and the child back to Qingxian, even Zizhu married Wu Qien and returned to the grassland with Di Ge'er, not to mention the second sister's girl, who played crazy with Tiannanhaibei behind Zhang Yang, so counting, our husband and wife are the most depressed."
p> Dong Rong said and spoke, but felt aggrieved, and said as annoyed as a child, "Oh, I won't watch the house anymore, let's leave tomorrow." β
p > Murong Huaide loved his wife like this, and laughed, "Okay, as long as you like it, let's leave now." β
p> Dong Rong is just talking about a happy mouth, and she is willing to leave a lot of chores and go out to play. Hearing this, he immediately changed his mind, "No, let's wait for the New Year's meeting before going out."
p > Murong Huaide took her into his arms dotingly, and turned to look at the sea outside the window and smiled warmly. Although the years have passed in a hurry, and he has lived in this corner of the South China Sea for ten years, he still does not regret giving up the great country and choosing to stay with his wife and children. The smiling faces of his wife and children are the most cherished ones for him.
p> didn't mention how sweet the couple were, but only said that Kyoto, thousands of miles away, was cloudy on this day.
p> During the day, it was still cloudless, and the sky was very clear, but in the evening, a few large dark clouds drifted from nowhere, and slowly blocked the sky tightly, and then it began to rain heavily.
p > in the dark night, it was wet everywhere, not to mention that ordinary people honestly don't go out at home, even the guards in the palace also found a place to hide.
p> At such a time, it is very pleasant to have a glass of wine, nibble on a pig's trotter, or get together with three or five colleagues to gamble a few handfuls. How can anyone be stupid and stand in the rain as a stake on such a night? It's a person with bad intentions, who really has any plans, and he dispelled his thoughts when he saw such weather.
P> However, someone secretly went out on such a night. The palace in the dark night is like a monstrous beast, walking in it, it will be devoured at any time.
p> The small figure moved forward little by little, almost against the base of the wall. Anyone who hears the slightest movement must stop and wait for a long time, and only continue to move forward when there is no danger.
p > occasional lightning streaked across the sky, reflecting her pale face, and her eyes were so wide that they seemed to fall at any moment, and her expression was really terrifying.
Seeing that the side door was not far in front of >, the little maid breathed a sigh of relief and took out a key from her bosom tremblingly. But before he could insert it into the keyhole, he heard someone behind him ask with a smile, "Luping, where are you going?" β
p> "Ahh The little maid screamed in alarm, and the key in her hand fell to the ground, and was soon washed into the gutter by the rain.
p> "Don't kill me, don't kill me!" I didn't say it, I didn't say it! The little maid hugged her head and leaned against the door, crying out in horror for mercy.
p> the old lady who asked the question before laughed strangely and cruelly, stepped forward and pulled her collar and replied, "You should tell the concubine Niangniang about this." She is the most merciful old man, and she may be able to bypass your traitorous! β
The little maid of P > was even more frightened when she heard this, slammed the door panel with both hands, and shouted, "Let me out!" Someone, help! The Empress Dowager..."
p>It's a pity, before she can finish speaking, the old lady has already flashed forward and slammed her palm on the back of her neck...
In the guard's room not far from the door of >, someone seemed to hear the noise, opened the door and looked twice, and when he saw that there was nothing unusual, he quickly retracted and continued to drink and laugh.
p > old lady lay in the crack of the door, smiled coldly when she saw this, and went back with the little maid who had passed out.
The main hall of the P> Qingyuan Palace, the decoration is graceful and luxurious, and it can be called the most beautiful palace in the entire imperial palace. But on such a night, only a few candles were lit, and the shadows of the curtains were cast on the walls, like ghosts, and they were terrifying.
p > occasionally a thunderclap split the heavens and the earth, reflecting the imperial city in a miserable white, and also illuminating the frightened faces of the palace maids and eunuchs who were hiding in the corners and shivering. They tried so hard to turn themselves into a transparent color, and they didn't dare to breathe, and they desperately prayed in their hearts that the thunderstorm would end soon. It seems that after a sunny day, it will be over.
On the seat in the middle of the main hall >, a middle-aged woman was half-leaning, with high sideburns, a golden phoenix hairpin slanted, and a long skirt of Chu color silk was softly scattered at her feet. If it weren't for the weird smile on her lips, it would be pleasing to the eye.
p > old lady who caught people before, she had just brought a cup of tea to the beautiful woman at this time, and at the end she asked respectfully, "Niangniang, the has brought it back." β
p> "Oh, then ask." The middle-aged beauty raised her eyebrows, glanced at the little maid in the center of the hall casually, and snorted coldly, "It's just to raise a dog, and I know how to look at the house for the master. β
p> old lady hurriedly persuaded, "Niangniang is angry, just a slave." The old slave cooked, and the mother just watched the excitement. β
p> she boasted about Haikou in front of her master like this, but unfortunately the words did not wait for the words to land, but the little maid came to her senses. She didn't care where she was, she desperately climbed to a high foot and shouted a few times, "The Empress Dowager helps, the emperor is not a royal bloodline, the concubine wants to be killed!" βR638
