Chapter 240: Spring Cold
The place where Roncodo invited him to drink tea was a private house.
As soon as he arrived at the place, he didn't get off the horse, and the fourth master's brows furrowed. He had heard of this kind of place, and it was disgusting to have a group of private prostitutes to be sent there.
He refused to dismount and called out to the attendants who were waiting at the door of the house to call out Roncodo.
The entourage was in a hurry, he wanted to pounce and hug the fourth master's thigh and beg, but the fourth master was followed by guards with knives in front of and behind him, not to mention the big shoulders and round waists, and they all carried knives in their waists. He pounced on it, and it was the chick in someone's hand, and they said that if they pinched it, they would pinch it to death. And to die in vain.
Long Keduo heard that the fourth master was coming, and he waited for a long time to see no one come in, and when he came out to look for it, he saw his entourage crying and mourning, and the fourth master sitting on the horse looked disgusted.
He said, "Fourth, you're really boring!" Come on, let's stop drinking here and find a shop outside. ”
asked someone to bring the horse, and he got on the horse and walked in parallel with the fourth master, and a group of guards followed behind him. The fourth master glanced at it, and saw that Long Keduo had more than a dozen guards behind him today, I don't know if he wanted to put on a show, or if he was really afraid of being hacked.
No one could guess the emperor's thoughts, and the adults who had entered the south study and talked to the emperor also saw gourds when they came out.
The fourth master has a number in his heart, and even the people in the capital also have a number in his heart. But because everyone guessed, no one dared to speak, let alone inquire, and they were scared when they turned around in their hearts.
The emperor wants to abolish the crown prince, this is to find out the attitude of the people in Beijing.
When the emperor is stable, the whereabouts of the crown prince and thirteen will be known. Before that, even if the fourth master was worried, he could only press it down and wait quietly.
In this case, no matter where the crown prince and the thirteenth were in custody and who took care of them, they could not escape the eyes of Long Keduo, the commander of the Nine Gates. It's no wonder that he weishenme has brought so many people in and out.
The fourth master was even more puzzled by Long Keduo's intention to ask him to come out for tea.
At this time, he didn't say that Taoguang was obscure, it was best to keep a distance from all the elder brothers in the capital, and specially invited him to tea.
What kind of heart is he in peace?
The fourth master's mind has turned thousands of thoughts since he received Long Keduo's letter, and he can't help but come, but he can't be at ease when he comes.
When they found the teahouse, they both sat down, and Dr. Tea brought the tea, and then waved off the other idlers.
The fourth master waited for Long Keduo to say what he meant.
Long Keduo took a sip of tea and sighed: "The tea outside is not authentic." ”
The fourth master also took a sip, but he didn't taste anything, and said, "What good tea can there be in the teahouse outside?" Uncle is too difficult for them, this is a thirst-quenching thing. ”
Long Keduo patted his ass and said: "It's still the fourth master who has knowledge, and I'm just a layman." After saying that, he shouted to his entourage, "Reward that Dr. Tea!" Said that his tea was served well! ”
The entourage hurried to go, Dr. Tea took the reward, and wanted to come over to thank him when he was stopped by the entourage, so he knelt down in the distance and kowtowed to Long Kedo.
After drinking half a bowl of tea, Long Keduo still didn't say anything, and the fourth master didn't urge him, no matter how anxious he was, his face was still calm and clear, and he listened to the books in the teahouse with a look of fascination.
At this time in the afternoon, the rich people are resting at home, and the teahouses are full of idlers.
The storyteller picked a passage of "The old landlord's concubine seduces the long worker" The book is eloquent, and the idlers below listen to it with great relish, and they can't stop applauding.
Long Keduo didn't expect such a book, the fourth master could also listen to it with relish, and the idlers in the lobby below shouted "Xiaolin", "firewood house", and "old landlord's account room" to come up with ideas for the cheating of the concubine and the long-term worker.
The storyteller found another way and chose the place where the concubine and the long-term worker were cheating under the window of the old landlord's nap. It is the current hour, the old landlord is snoring in the house, the concubine and the long-term worker are hiding in the rockery cave under the window, you come and I are not happy.
The fourth master laughed when he heard this, and said in his heart that if Su Su heard this paragraph, he should say, 'Who has a rockery under the window?' Doesn't that block the light? ’。
Long Keduo laughed when he saw this, and said tentatively: "Fourth master? Do you sound this paragraph? ”
The fourth master came back to his senses and said with tea: "So-so." ”
Long Keduo stared at his cheap nephew, and his heart was a Taoist, but he didn't expect that his heart was quite lively. This kind of book can be listened to, so it can be seen that he is not a difficult person to get along with. It used to be his eyes.
He smiled and said: "If the fourth master likes it, there is a storyteller in my house, then what he says is good!" Tomorrow I will send people to the Fourth Master's Mansion! ”
The fourth master hurriedly excused himself, but Long Keduo did not agree: "Why be polite to me?" We are a family, and I, as an uncle, can't I send a slave to my nephew? ”
The fourth master couldn't do anything, so he agreed in his heart.
Long Keduo was happy and sighed, "If only my sister could see you now." ”
The fourth master is the most annoying to mention Queen Xiaoyi. Without him, it is true that Queen Xiaoyi raised him, but since he was sensible, everyone who mentioned this meant something. After a long time, he is grateful for the kindness of Queen Xiaoyi for raising him, and he is unwilling to hang outside and be frequently mentioned.
It's even more unpleasant to run into someone like Roncodo.
After Long Keduo mentioned filial piety, he looked at the fourth master meaningfully and said: "How can I say that I and the fourth master are family, if there is anything, my uncle is naturally on the side of his family." ”
After saying this, the two had nothing more to say. Long Keduo finished drinking the tea in the cup and said goodbye first, and the fourth master still sat in the teahouse for a moment longer, but he couldn't listen to what Mr. Storyteller said.
The next day, a petty official sent a storyteller, with a deed and a girl waiting for her. After the fourth master asked someone to check, this little official had nothing to do with the Chengen Mansion and Long Keduo, even the origin of this storyteller was also innocent.
He confessed: "Usually don't let her wait for the masters in the house, and wait for the guests to come out again." ”
Su Peisheng said: "The slave has written it down." ”
Long Keduo's words made the fourth master unstable for a few days, but the thing in front of him was still thirteen. As for how the thirteenth could be entangled with the prince's affairs, the fourth master couldn't figure it out.
I can only wait for Thirteen to come out and ask him.
The Fourteenth Fu Jin Wan Yan got out of the car in front of the Thirteenth Master's Mansion, and the nurse of the Thirteen Fu Jin Zhaojia Clan immediately greeted him.
"How sick is your master?" I heard that Zhao Jia's fell ill after fifteen. Wan Yan knew that it was because of the fact that the Thirteenth Master had no news, but the water here was too deep, and she just asked someone to bring some medicine at first, or asked her henchmen to come and visit one or two.
I came today because I heard that Zhao Jia's family was so sick that even her sixth sister refused to leave.
The fourteenth master asked her to come and visit.
"How can I say that Brother Thirteen and I are also good brothers in the palace, and we can't leave the palace but are estranged." The Fourteenth Master said.
Wanyan's heart said, I believe that you have ghosts.
But he kept urging, and she also handed over the post to Zhao Jia's, thinking that she would be politely called back, not wanting Zhao Jia's to really take the post, and invited her to the house.
Wan Yan had no choice but to come. She understood that Zhao Jia's was 'sick' urgently, and she rushed to the doctor when she was sick, and she wanted to worship the Bodhisattva when she saw someone. She doesn't have a son with the Thirteenth Master, if the Thirteenth Master is really so unexplained, do you want her to live by looking at the face of the Guerjia clan in the future?
Guerjia has a son and a daughter under his knees, although he has not yet entered the Fengbian Fujin, but if the thirteenth master is really gone, for the sake of the little brother, Zhaojia will be forced to send the seal excerpt.
Although Wan Yan has a son under his knees, none of the sons and daughters in front of the fourteenth master came out of her belly. Half sympathy, half sympathy, remembering her uneasiness when the second elder brother did not land, she can understand Zhao Jia's current situation.
What is even more pitiful than her back then is that the Thirteenth Master is now unknown in life and death.
As soon as he saw her, Zhao Jia's tears fell.
She was so sick that she was lying in bed, and she was emaciated to a handful of bones. Wan Yan was stunned, and helped her and said, "Why are you so sick?" "I thought she was pretending!
Zhao Jia's even cried and coughed violently, the nurse and the girls immediately took the copper basin with mouthwash, and after a busy time, Zhao Jia's finally was able to speak calmly, and asked everyone else to go down, took Yan's hand and choked up: "I can finally see you in Zuihou......"
Wan Yan immediately snorted several times: "You won't say something auspicious?" Where did it be? ”
Zhao Jiashi shook his head, leaned on the pillow and burst into tears, and said, "Over there, she should eat and drink every day, she is hopeful, don't worry, I ...... If our father is gone, what will I have in my life? ”
Wan Yan wiped the sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief, and said, "Have you gone to find someone?" Have you inquired around? Didn't I hear that the thirteenth uncle is good with the fourth uncle, didn't you go to their house to try it? ”
The Fourteenth Master told her that she must ask this clearly.
Zhao Jia's family didn't hide his selfishness, nodded and said: "Go, the fourth uncle and the fourth sister-in-law treat me well, but they can't help it." I asked someone to go a few times, but I didn't find out. ”
Wanyan sighed, thought about it and whispered to Zhaojia: "Actually, our master doesn't know, he still wants me to inquire about you, thinking that the fourth uncle will have a way." "She is also very sincere to Zhaojia's family.
The Fourteenth Master didn't know, and he could almost be sure that the Eighth Master's group of people were also headless flies.
Wanyan's family was not willing to do this kind of behind-the-scenes investigation for the fourteenth master, and when he saw Zhaojia's current situation, he took pity on her for a while.
Zhao Jiashi nodded gratefully, Wan Yan was embarrassed, and covered it up by drinking tea.
After a while, she said to Wan Yan's family: "Fourth Uncle really said no? ”
Zhao Jiashi shook his head hesitantly and said, "I didn't see the fourth uncle in person, I told the fourth sister-in-law." ”
Wan Yan said: "Or, why don't you go and ask Li Fang Fujin on the Fourth Uncle's Mansion to try?" Prepare some gifts, maybe she can make sense there? ”
Zhao Jiashi hesitated. At that time, she also wanted to switch to the temple gate and knock all the Bodhisattvas on the Fourth Master's Mansion. It's a pity that she has already begged the fourth sister-in-law, and then turned her head to beg Li Fang Fujin, she is also afraid that it will be self-defeating.
Today, after Yan's mention, she was asked to move her mind again.
Wanyan's family also understands her dilemma, the thirteenth master has a good relationship with the fourth master's mansion, and the Zhaojia clan naturally wants to socialize with the female relatives of the fourth master's mansion, and it is necessary to choose which one is the greatest. There is no such thing as two ends.
"Anyway, you're just begging her to do something, don't you recognize her in the future, and don't recognize the fourth sister-in-law? We have two silver goods, just a hammer deal. "Wan Yan said.
Speaking lightly, Zhao Jiashi smiled bitterly: "People may not lack that bit of silver." ”
Wan Yan sighed: "Why don't I know? It's just a reason, and then it's still relying on the relationship between the fourth uncle and the thirteenth uncle, as long as the fourth uncle is willing to help, it doesn't matter what the reason is. I'll give you another idea, it's not easy for you and me to come forward in this matter, and ask someone who can talk to Li Fangfujin. This will also prevent you from being embarrassed in front of your fourth sister-in-law. ”
A few days later, Li Wei received a gift from Zhaojia's from Nala's.
"No wonder you took the initiative to post to me." Li Wei didn't know what to say when she took the gift, it was because she came for the sake of the rare post from the Nala family, and it turned out that she was entrusted by someone.
Nara was a little embarrassed, she was not a very good talker, and since she often offended people by speaking, she rarely spoke in front of outsiders. What's more, this time there are some losses.
She said: "Thirteen Fujin is probably afraid that he will be sent to the house to make the fourth sister-in-law angry." ”
Li Wei held her forehead, how did she answer this?
Even if Fu Jin may be angry, he can't say it directly!
She said: "What's the matter, our Fujin and Thirteen Fujin are good." ”
Then the two of them looked at the gift of the Thirteen Blessings and became cold. Zuihou Li Wei could only say goodbye in a hurry, and the Na Lashi post said that she would invite her to watch the play and could only wait for the next time.
After returning home with the gift, she directly asked someone to send it to the fourth master. What the Thirteen Fujin asks for is nothing more than the matter of the Thirteenth Master, and there is no news after the New Year, and the Thirteen Fujin is only afraid that they are going crazy, right?
When the fourth master came over, she was holding her cheeks to make up for the current situation of the Thirteenth Fujin, and he said, "Didn't you go to Lao Qi this afternoon?" Why did you come back with the gift of the Thirteen Blessings? ”
Li Wei told him about the Thirteen Blessings Jin Tona La's clan, got up and waited for him to change his clothes, and said, "Now the Thirteenth Master's Mansion is just afraid that he is about to go crazy, right?" ”
The fourth master sighed heavily, sat down and held her hand and said, "Yes." In two days, you can go and see the Thirteen Blessings. ”
Tell Fujin to go, when the sister-in-law goes to see the little brother and sister, this posture is too low. It's not the first time Li Wei has done this, and it is clear that the Thirteen Fujin has been recuperating in the mansion since the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and even on the second day of the New Year, Yonghe Palace asked her to recuperate in the mansion.
"Really?" Li Wei was shocked.
The jade bottle also just inquired, nodded and said: "Zhao Quanbao inquired, and the outsiders guessed that the Thirteen Fujin lost her honor in the Yonghe Palace, so the mother asked her to go back to the house to rest." ”
It's really a wall that everyone is pushing down.
Li Wei's mood is particularly complicated. Although she has never wanted to enter the palace to suffer during the New Year. But being able to enter the palace but not wanting to enter is two different things from being able to enter the palace but not being called in. The former is at ease, the latter is humiliated.
The Thirteenth Master has only been missing for less than two months, and the people in the capital don't say how anxious they are, but they all start to fall into the ground.
"Yonghe Palace......" she sighed, not finishing.
Yonghe Palace is also too chilling.
In previous years, Niangniang treated the thirteenth Fujin as the same as the fourteenth Fujin, and never saw the cold. Knowing that now the Thirteen Fujin is about to have a chance to enter the palace to meet people, many begs can fish out the Thirteen Masters from the current state of unknown life and death, and the sentence of 'go back to the house to rest' will cut off people's hopes.
The jade bottle waited in front of her, and did not speak when she heard her exclamation. Yonghe Palace is not a place where they can talk after all.
Li Wei only thought of this for a while. Besides, she can't worry about others, not to mention the indifference of Yonghe Palace to the Thirteen Fujin, even if the fourth master can help, she can't care.
All she can do is personnel, to comfort and comfort the Thirteen Fujin.
What the fourth master said was that in two days, she spent two days asking someone to prepare gifts. The Thirteen Blessings were sick, and the natural gifts were medicinal herbs, as well as a mascot that could pray for good health - she brought a thangka from Ge Zhen Temple, painted with brightly colored Buddha statues.
Fully prepared, she reported to the front, said hello to Fujin, got on the mule cart and went out.
At first glance, she was stunned when she saw Thirteen Fujin. Everyone was thin into a handful of bones, and their faces were white in the room.
Li Wei didn't dare to ask her to get out of bed to greet her, so she took a few steps forward to support her. I really didn't expect Thirteen Fujin to have such a deep affection for Thirteen Masters.
"Sister-in-law......" Zhao Jia's eyes were swollen from crying, and she burst into tears when she saw her.
"Hurry up and sit down, I'm just listening to our master to come and see you." She gave gifts, but Thirteen Fujin was afraid that she didn't care about these things at all.
Zhao Jiashi thanked him, asked someone to take the gift down and put it away, leaned on the pillow and said, "I made my sister-in-law laugh like this." ”
Li Wei said: "How can you go on like this?" Take care of your body first, and the days will be long in the future. The thirteen masters are in heaven, and they will be fine. ”
Zhao Jiashi didn't want to listen to these comforting words, holding her hand just silently shed tears, and the atmosphere was so heavy that people couldn't breathe.
The fourth master was willing to call her, but he didn't plan to give up Thirteen. What's more, Li Wei thinks that she didn't have any impact, the thirteenth master started in the Yongzheng Dynasty, and it's still early.
She whispered to Zhao Jia's family: "You can't do this, when Uncle Thirteen comes back safely, you plan to let him see what you are like now?" ”
Zhao Jiashi immediately held her hand tightly, her eyes lit up like a terminally ill patient hearing that the doctor had taken the wrong case, wanting to believe it but not daring.
Li Wei patted her hand and said, "With our master here, you just have to rest assured, Uncle Thirteen will definitely come back safely." ”
Zhao Jia's finally heard someone willing to tell her that Thirteen was fine, but now how many people she has entrusted and how many mansions she has run, all she heard is vague. She inquired about the fourth sister-in-law before, and what the fourth sister-in-law said was also that the emperor was wise and had her own judgment. The fourth uncle has also been inquiring about Yunyun.
Today, Li Fangfujin must have said a lot. Obedient and listening, Zhao Jia's almost listened to a big stone and fell to the ground. Li Fangfujin said so surely, there must be a turnaround for the fourth uncle!
Zhao Jiashi excitedly held Li Wei's hand tightly: "Xiexie, Xiexie sister-in-law......"
Li Wei was so frightened by her that she began to feel weak, and she sat for a quarter of an hour and told her to rest and recuperate, and she would come to see her in the future.
Before he could suppress the shock when he returned to the house, the fourth master arrived.
After listening to her, the fourth master couldn't cry or laugh: "You really have confidence in your grandfather." ”
He himself doesn't have such great confidence, and he still can't find out where Thirteen is being put by the emperor now. Su Su has always had a lot of confidence in him, and in her heart, he is probably omnipotent.
He took Su Su's hand and pulled her to sit down: "Do you really think so?" ”
Li Wei nodded affirmatively, time will tell.
"Okay." The fourth master hugged her and sighed.
At the beginning of February, the ice melts and the snow disappears.
The emperor has not seen anyone for a long time, and he called the fourth master into the palace early this morning. When the eunuch came, the fourth master and Li Wei were having breakfast.
As soon as he heard this, he put down his chopsticks and asked someone to bring water to rinse his mouth.
Li Wei hurriedly asked someone to bring a thick cloak and sheepskin boots, don't look at the sun is so big every day, and it is the coldest when the snow melts. A crowd waited for him to change his clothes, and she took the mutton fat and applied a layer to his face.
The fourth master wiped his face and said with a smile: "Are you treating the master as Hongshi?" Are you still afraid that your face will be blown off? ”
is still in the mood to laugh, it can be seen that he has been looking forward to the emperor for a long time.
He said: "You may not be able to come back at noon or night, so you don't have to wait for me in the house." ”
"If you're busy until the evening, call a taxi to pick you up, right?" "Don't come back on horseback at night," she asked. ”
"It's up to you." He said and hurried away.
went all the way into the palace, but saw the eighth child at the door of the south study.
When the eighth master saw him, he came over and saluted with a smile: "Fourth brother." ”
He nodded. The original good mood disappeared after seeing the eighth.
The two of them stood outside without speaking, hanging their heads and waiting for the emperor to call in. The sun hung high in the sky, and the eyes of the people were dazzled, and the earth was white. But the sky was still cold, colder than before, when it was cloudy and snowing, cold to the bones.
The fourth master thought that it was an adult in the south study, and when the king of Zhijun came out to call them, he knew that it was the king of Zhijun who had not been out of the house for a long time.
I didn't expect to see the eighth.
King Zhijun looked thinner, but his eyes were shiny and frighteningly bright, like a hungry wolf in the winter wilderness.
The fourth master and the eighth master bowed and called the eldest brother, and the king of Zhijun nodded: "Come in." ”
went in to see the emperor, and the emperor on the couch also startled the fourth master.
It has only been more than half a month since the New Year's banquet, but the emperor is thinner, and there is a kang burning in the house, and there is a brazier on the ground.
"The fourth, the eighth is here, sit down." Kangxi pointed to the front of the stay.
Chen Fu personally moved two piers and served tea, but there were no small tea bowls, so the fourth master and the eighth master had to hold them in their hands.
Kangxi pointed to the fourth master first: "Fourth, give your errand to the eighth first." ”
When the fourth master saw the eighth master, he already knew in his heart, and disappointment was disappointment, and it was not unprepared. He knelt down with the eighth master to thank him.
Kangxi gasped, as if it was a little laborious to speak now.
He pointed to the king of Zhijun again: "I'll go on an errand with your eldest brother in a while." ”
What kind of errand is it, the emperor did not say. King Zhijun nodded to the fourth master, then got up and left the table to leave. The fourth master had to hurriedly follow.
When he got out of the south study, he wanted to ask, but the king of Zhijun kept walking briskly in front and didn't give him a chance.
When I went out of the palace gate, I saw Long Keduo waiting at the palace gate. He sat under the horse and arched his hand to the king of Zhijun and the fourth master: "Second master, let's go." ”
The three did not speak all the way. The fourth master faintly guessed, and the palms of the hands holding the reins were sweating. Now it seems that Long Keduo is the one who has been taking care of the crown prince and the thirteenth, the king of Zhijun...... It should have been told to him by the emperor before he came.
When he went to the courtyard, the fourth master's face changed, and when he got off the horse, he was in a trance.
There were still a few horses outside the courtyard, and the eunuch Sula knelt on the side of the road in a pickled manner. The further you walked inside, the quieter it became, and gradually there were more guards, and there were even four guards with knives standing on one side of the back.
In front of a stable, a simple felt tent was erected.
Long Keduo stepped forward with a grin, picked up the tent curtain with the handle of the knife without respect, and said with a smile: "Prince, come out?" ”
The author has something to say: good night everyone, see you tomorrow
