424. Section 422
The corners of Tanglin's mouth curled slightly, with a lazy smile, and said, "I told you that I would see you, and I will definitely see you." But I may be disappointed to see you, and if you don't want to see you, I'll send you back to the palace now. ”
Lu Ping regarded Shu E, who was slowly standing up, as nothing, and listened to Tanglin's words, but said angrily: "What are you talking about!" No matter what, I'm going to see him today. I just want to ask him clearly, if there is anything else, how can I be disappointed or not disappointed......" Lu Ping's voice became lower and lower, obviously a little insincere.
Before Tanglin could answer Lu Ping's words, he heard Lu Ping suddenly say loudly: "You mean...... Are you saying that he who is married today is ...... Is that Cao Gongzi? ”
Tanglin said with a smile: "The Cao Mansion welcomes the family, and it is naturally the son of the Cao family who gets married." ”
Lu Ping's face turned pale, and when Tanglin saw her look, he hurriedly restrained his smile and said, "I shouldn't be joking with you, the Cao Gongzi who greeted the kiss is not your Cao Gongzi." ”
Lu Ping's face gradually became pleasant, and she became a little embarrassed, and said, "You can't speak clearly. As he spoke, he turned to Shu E and said, "This girl, if there is a son in your mansion whose surname is Cao, please take me to see him." ”
Shu E was already standing there, listening to the conversation between Lu Ping and Tanglin, her heart was also chaotic, and when she heard Lu Ping ask herself, she said slowly: "You...... Why do you want to see him? ”
Lu Ping's cheeks were slightly red, but her teeth were gently biting the corners of her mouth, as if she was hesitating whether to say it or not. Finally, Lu Ping gritted her teeth and said, "I have something to ask him, and if I don't ask anything, I will never be able to let go of it in my heart." He...... He couldn't just walk away without knowing what to do. ”
Shu E listened to Lu Ping's affectionate and persistent words, nodded slowly, and said, "If you can't find it, you can't find it, so why be too persistent?" As this Tanglin brother said, you may be disappointed when you see him, but it's better not to see him. ”
Lu Ping stared at Shu E's peach-pink veil hanging from her forehead, and said, "This girl, is there a good son of Cao in your mansion?" Do you know this person? ”
Shu E didn't answer Lu Ping's words, turned her head sideways to avoid Lu Ping's eager gaze, and said, "Here...... It's not where you should be, girl. ”
Lu Ping walked straight to Shu E from Tangling's side, although her steps were slow, she did not hesitate at all, and a pair of eyes were watching Shu E's veil all the time.
Shu E didn't know whether she was afraid that Lu Ping would know her identity, or that Lu Ping would be disappointed and sad, so she involuntarily took a step back. But there was a chair behind Shu'e, and when she retreated like this, her legs and feet touched the chair, and she stumbled, almost sitting backwards. Shu E hurriedly held on to the handle of the chair, looking at Lu Ping's beautiful face so close to herself, almost only separated by a thin veil, only saying a "you", but unable to say anything anymore.
At this moment, a crisp voice of Lilac suddenly sounded outside the door: "Shu'e ......"
The eyes of the three of them all looked out of the door, and with this little sparing, Shu E had already held on to the handle of the chair and stood up straight.
Lilac hurriedly walked over, saw that there were still living people in the house, and hurriedly changed her words and said: "Mrs. Hui, the father-in-law in the palace is here, saying that it is to pass on the emperor's holy decree." ”
When Lu Ping heard this, she didn't react, but Shu E and Tanglin were solemn, and Tanglin looked at Shu E, as if asking for her meaning.
Shu E settled down and said, "Did you say that it was a holy decree for whom?" ”
Lilac said: "The master said to call you, but he didn't say who he wanted." ”
Shu E nodded and said, "Since the master meant, I'll go for it." He turned his head to Tanglin and said, "Brother Tanglin, you accompany this girl ......"
Tanglin smiled slightly and said, "Since the emperor has an order, I am disrespectful here." I might as well go with you. ”
Outside the door of the main hall, the large table that was originally placed under the plaque in the main hall and between the two large circle chairs has already been placed and placed outside the main hall door, under the imperial pen plaque of "benevolence and prudence".
On the large table, there is a brocade embroidered with red gold thread, and a four-legged square tripod cast in bronze is placed on it, with an ancient pattern on the tripod body, and there are many patinas hidden between the textures, which is obviously a precious antiquity. There is incense of the thickness of the fingers of three pillars burned in the tripod, and around the Baoding, it is a pair of red copper poured lotus petal candlesticks, several lotus petals on it have opened and closed, and the position of the center of the flower in the top heart is lit with the red candle of the thickness of the arm. Cigarettes curled and candles flickered. On both sides of the candle are two bottles of golden osmanthus flowers, dotted with Venus, dark incense, and there are several plates of fresh fruits on the table, all of which are fresh and fat.
A man dressed in the uniform of a six-rank great eunuch stood in front of the large table, facing north, while another small eunuch bowed down and stood beside the big eunuch. The lord, wife, and upper and lower people of the Cao Mansion all stood on the south side.
Tanglin and Shu'e walked side by side, and the eunuch saw it at a glance, hurriedly grabbed it in a few steps, and said, "The villain has seen the king of Guangling County, and the king of the county is Wanfu." The villain has seen Miss Cao, and Miss Cao is blessed. ”
Shu E had already seen that this was the great eunuch Quanfu Gonggong beside the emperor, and hurriedly bowed down and returned the half-salute and said ten thousand blessings. Tanglin smiled and did not speak.
Quan Fu said to Shu E with a smile on his face: "I won't see you in January, Miss Cao is well?" ”
Shu E smiled and said, "It's okay for Father-in-law." Thank you for hanging it. After a pause, he said, "My father-in-law rarely calls me that, but he is very kind. ”
With a sly smile in his eyes, Quan Fu said, "When you come to the girl's mansion, you have to be called like this." When I returned to the palace, I couldn't call it that way anymore. ”
Shu E looked at the old lady leading a large group of greeting guests, still standing there quietly waiting for Quanfu to issue the holy decree, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law Quan has traveled all the way, but he is tired. ”
Quan Fu Ha Luha smiled, and said to the north of the face: "This is for the emperor to do errands, for your mansion to proclaim, no matter how tired the old slave is, it is as good as food!" There are two holy decrees here, the one given to Miss Cao first. Another will, please ask the old man and the girl to receive it on their behalf. ”
The smile in the corner of Shu E's eyes disappeared immediately, and she said softly: "Accept it on your behalf...... You say this decree is for ......"
The whole guild smiled, and walked to the offering table first, Shu E also hurriedly walked up, walked to Cao Tong's side and bowed and stood up. "Mrs. Anguo Cao Li took the order."
Quan Gonggong's voice was deep and bright.
Shu E lifted her skirt and walked to the master's side, knelt down, lowered her head and said, "The little girl is here." ”
