Chapter 51: Old Friends Reunited
After a nap, Moyu got up. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Ma Gonggong has returned, bringing four people, one is still the left commander, one is a guard with a knife, and two ordinary Yulin soldiers. Mo Yu thought that Yun Changfeng was too exaggerated, she was a small concubine, and she could work for such a high-ranking person. Ma Gonggong told her that Yun Changfeng originally wanted to come over to protect Niangniang by himself, but the defense in the palace was also very important, so he couldn't be separated, so he sent a left commander and a guard with a knife.
Zhou Guoyu's Lin army set up a presidential leader, left and right commanders, and guards with knives. The presidential leader is the general commander of the Yulin Army, and now Yun Changfeng is in charge of this position, and there are also two commanders on the left and right, which are equivalent to the deputy commanders of the Yulin Army, to assist the president.
Didn't you say four? Mo Yu pointed to the extra person beside him and said, "Then who is he?" ”
Xiang Rong explained: "He is the husband sent by Steward Ji just now, and it is said that he is the best husband in the whole of Tokyo." ”
Mo Yu was dumbfounded, did the people of the Ji family curse her badly or were they worried that she would die in this mansion, and it was not a good sign to go out and take a husband. But since everyone has sent it, you can't return it! So he instructed Xiang Rong: "Go and arrange a room for them!" Oh, by the way, you go find some normal men's clothes. ”
Xiang Rong was puzzled: "Niangniang, what do you want men's clothes for?" ”
"Husband, just stay in this courtyard. As for the four adults and Ma Gonggong, if you want to go out of the house with me, you have to change your clothes, you are too eye-catching, let's just go shopping as ordinary people. Mo Yu looked at the person behind him, thought about it and said lightly: "As for Yunshang, you don't have to go with you, stay at home!" ”
Yunshang lowered her head and replied lightly, "Yes". Between them, after all, there is no going back to the past. People really can't do evil things, and once they do, the price they pay is immeasurable.
It makes sense for Ma Gonggong to want to do this, so he doesn't object. Pointing outside, he said, "Niangniang, do those people outside also have to be changed?" ”
People outside, are there people out there? Mo Yu wondered, "Is there anyone else outside?" ”
Ma Gonggong replied: "Yes! Master Ji sent the nursing home over, saying that it was to protect you. ”
What the? Mo Yu hurriedly walked to the bottom of the corridor to take a look, and there were indeed more than a dozen courtyards standing neatly in the courtyard, waiting for the master's orders. She really wants to kneel down and worship others, why don't she just go out of the house, and be as cautious as the queen going out of the house. Mo Yu stepped forward and asked, "Who is the head of you here?" ”
One of the middle of the front row responded: "Slave Zhou Zigui, I have seen Niangniang, I am their head." ”
"Did the master send you?"
"Yes."
"These people listen to you."
"Back to my mother's words, yes."
"Then do you listen to my orders or not?"
"Slave, but by the mother's orders."
"Okay, then I'll let you go and tell the master now, withdraw you, I don't need your protection."
"Yes. Yes...... This ......"
"Isn't this and this, don't you listen to my orders, go quickly."
"Yes."
Seeing Zhou Zigui running out of the yard, Mo Yu hurriedly ran into the house, saw that the four guards had changed into civilian clothes, and hurriedly said to them: "It's good that the four of you follow me from afar, you don't have to follow me behind me, you know?" Seeing them nodding, Mo Yu hurriedly pulled Xiang Rong and walked outside the courtyard, saying as he walked: "Hurry up, otherwise you won't be able to walk for a while." ”
The guards in the courtyard saw that the master they wanted to protect had already walked out of the courtyard, and hurriedly ran up and followed. Mo Yu hurriedly turned to them and said, "Don't follow me, you forgot, what you want to listen to is Zhou Zigui's words, before Zhou Zigui comes back, you are not allowed to leave, do you hear?" ”
Nurses, you look at me, I'll look at you, it's okay. Hear the master say, "Didn't you hear my commands? Stand here waiting for your heads. "Alright! It is a command, and they can only obey it.
When he got out of the Ji Mansion, Mo Yu took a deep breath, the feeling of freedom was really good! Biyue wanted to go home to have a look, but Moyu didn't stop her, after all, people followed her out of the palace just to be able to go home and have a look.
The rest of the people formed a family, Ma Gonggong was the father, Mo Yu and Xiangrong were sisters, and the family of three wandered around the market. I want to be the most happy, I like this and I like that, and I can't put it down. Although Ma Gonggong is also calm, it can be seen from his facial expression that he is very happy. I grew up in the palace since I was a child, and I didn't have many opportunities to leave the palace, so of course I was happy.
Mo Yu looked at the goods on the shelves, her eyes glanced at the dozen or so people not far away, and she secretly laughed in her heart, thinking that she didn't know if she followed her from a distance. Hmph, sure enough, it's an untrained stalker. Mo Yu turned around and looked in their direction, the dozen or so people didn't expect her to have such a move, and it was a big mess for a while, you turn to the right, I turn to the left, turn the front and turn the back, it's a mess, and I accidentally overturned other people's shelves.
After repeating this a few times, those people were not stupid, and after several waves of people followed, Mo Yu saw that there was no excitement to see, and he no longer embarrassed them, and concentrated on shopping.
"Miss Ji...... Ma Gonggong ......"
When Mo Yu heard someone call her, she hurriedly turned around, and when she saw the gentle man in front of her, she recalled it in her mind, and said uncertainly: "But Sikong Gongzi?" ”
Sikong was overjoyed in his heart, shaking the folding fan in his hand, but she didn't expect that there was only one side, but she could still remember her, so she smiled: "I didn't expect Miss Ji to remember it, Miss Ji, I call you that, don't you mind!" ”
There is nothing wrong with calling it that, outside the palace, you can't call Concubine Li, and it's even more impossible to call her by her name. Mo Yu smiled, remembering that the fan he took last time was not this one, and said, "Of course I don't mind, how can Childe be free today and go out shopping?" ”
He saw Ji Boyuan at noon, and Ji Boyuan said that Concubine Li had returned to Ji's house, so he found an excuse to go to Ji's house, and maybe he could have a chance encounter in the garden like last time, and he didn't want God to be kind to him, so he met her on the street. "Oh, grandpa hasn't been in a good mood these two days, so I want to come out and buy something to go back and coax his old man to be happy."
"Childe is really filial."
Sikong thought that it was not good for everyone to stand on the street, so he proposed: "There is a teahouse in front, if Miss Ji is not in a hurry, can you let me make an east and go up to the teahouse to sit." ”
Mo Yu turned to look at Xiang Rong and Ma Gonggong behind him, and Ma Gonggong smiled: "Daughter, I'm tired after walking for so long, why don't we go up and sit down?" ”
Hearing what Ma Gonggong said, Mo Yu didn't want to brush him off, so he nodded in agreement, and several people walked into the teahouse not far in front.
Qinxin Building, or the private room on the second floor, greets them with the same little two. Mo Yu almost can't remember what he looks like, it's been a long time since I've been here in the teahouse, half a year! I don't know how many more times she can come in this life?
The two sat down, and Ma Gonggong and Xiangrong naturally stood not far behind Mo Yu. I ordered a pot of oolong, which is a new tea on the market, the color is eel skin color, oily and shiny, and the teeth and cheeks are fragrant after the entrance, and the aftertaste is dry and fresh.
Sikong put down the fan in his hand, took the lead in breaking the silence, and said, "I heard that Miss Ji was injured some time ago, but now she is fine?" ”
There is really no impermeable wall in the palace, and there are many people, how can there be any secrets. Although the emperor repeatedly emphasized the blockade of the news before leaving, the news was still unconsciously revealed. "It's out of the way, a little injury is already healed."
"That's good, that's good." That's an arrow through the chest, how can it be a small injury. When he first learned the news, he wanted to enter the palace to see her several times, but reason told him that he couldn't.
Xiao Er took the tools for making tea and put them on the table, and then withdrew.
This is leaving? Sikong Jun wondered, why only the tea set was sent! Said blankly: "Xiao Er, how is this tea...... This ......"
Mo Yu smiled, waved his hand and said to Xiao Er: "You go down!" Then he said to Sikong who was sitting opposite: "Sikong Gongzi, if you don't dislike it, how about trying my craftsmanship?" ”
Sikong was overjoyed and said, "I didn't expect Miss Ji to make tea, it's really an eye-opener!" ”
"Don't boast so fast, you have to taste it to know if you succeed!"
"I'm looking forward to it."
First, bring the kettle to the fire and wait slowly. Mo Yu asked idly: "What kind of kitkat object does Childe want to buy for Lord Sikong, I wonder what Childe can think of buying?" ”
Where did he come out to buy things, he came out to find someone, so he sneered: "Actually, I don't know what to buy, it's too ordinary, my grandfather can't look at it, it's difficult to find a new idea, it's really hard to find." ”
When the water boils, Moyu pours boiling water into the pot on the table until it overflows, then pours the water from the pot into the tea boat, places a tea funnel at the mouth of the pot, and then uses a teaspoon to pour the tea into the pot. While doing all this, he said: "Master Taifu has rich experience, and there are naturally not a few rare antiques he has seen. ”
"It's really nerve-wracking." Sikong had a bitter face and didn't let go of any of her movements. She first carried the pot and went in a retrograde circle along the tea boat, this to scrape off the water droplets at the bottom of the pot.
Sikong is a noble son in the capital, and his family naturally has some slaves who specialize in making tea. But I saw that Moyu had already poured the tea into the fair cup, and then poured the tea from the cup into the small cup one by one, seven points full.
Mo Yu pushed the teacup to the middle, lowered his head slightly, and smiled, "Please." ”
Sikong didn't shirk, picked up the teacup on the table, and sniffed it lightly under his nose. Then slide it into your mouth, go around the base of your tongue, and slowly slide into your throat. At first, it was slightly bitter, but after a while, the aroma of tea slowly overflowed between the lips and teeth. Raising his eyebrows, he couldn't help but admire: "It's really a good tea, with fragrant teeth and cheeks, and a dry and fresh aftertaste." And Miss Ji's tea-making technique is also very skillful. ”
"When I'm idle and bored at home, I just mess with these things to pass the time. A nobleman like Childe must be a master of tea tasting, and I am afraid that my little trick will not be able to enter the eyes of Childe! ”
Sikong shook his head and said, "Miss Ji doesn't know, people like us can taste tea, but when it comes to making tea, I'm afraid I'm not as good as Miss!" ”
He was right, the nobles in Beijing drank whatever kind of tea was expensive on the market, and in their words, what they drank was not tea, but silver. As for making tea, there are usually domestic slaves who specialize in making tea in large households, so they are never used to do it.
"Hey, I've figured out a way to make my grandfather happy." Sikong suddenly shouted.
Mo Yu was drinking tea, and when he saw that he was shocked, he couldn't help but look up and ask, "What way to make Gongzi so happy?" ”
Sikong clapped his hands and said, "I can make tea for my grandfather, just like Miss Ji." After saying that, he felt that this was not appropriate, so he added: "I mean, after I go back, I will learn to make tea from the people in the house, and then I will also make tea for my grandfather." ”
The old man, especially Lord Sikong, has reached his age and status, and he has obtained everything he deserves, and he has seen everything he should have seen. When you are old, you naturally hope that your sons and grandchildren can be happy and respectful and filial.
Mo Yu said from the heart: "Childe is really filial, presumably Master Taifu will be pleased." ”
"It's thanks to Miss Ji's inspiration!"
Mo Yu continued to pour tea for him, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to take this credit." ”
Sikong bowed his head slightly to express his respectful thanks, and then asked, "I wonder where Miss Ji still wants to go?" In fact, he wanted to ask when she would return to the palace.
Well? Where does she want to go and what does it matter to him? "Childe is in a hurry?"
Yes? There is no urgency, there is no urgency. Sikong hurriedly waved his hand to indicate the misunderstanding. "Miss Ji misunderstood, there is no urgency here. It's just that Miss Ji is a woman, and it is inconvenient to walk, if Miss Ji doesn't mind, let me act as a guard. ”
Mo Yu looked him up and down, can he act as a guard? She didn't believe it. Hearing his voice from the other side, "Miss Ji, don't believe it, I can still beat a few hooligans." ”
She wanted to say that if she could fight a few hooligans, the group of guards behind her would be enough, but it was too hurtful to say it. "I've heard that the chrysanthemums of Daishokokuji Temple are a beautiful spot in the city of Tokyo, and it's the right time for me to have a look, so I'd like to see it tomorrow."
"The chrysanthemums of Daxiangguo Temple are indeed a beautiful sight. At this time of year, there will be a lot of literati and scholars who go there to chant poems and paint, make good friends, and the pilgrims of Xiangguo Temple are endless. ”
"Well, it's worth a look." There are also chrysanthemums in the palace, but the variety is single, and I will enjoy those few back and forth, and I am tired of looking at them.
Sikong Yixi smiled and said with a smile: "If you don't mind, Miss Ji, I will escort you to Daxiangguo Temple early tomorrow morning." ”
Mo Yu frowned slightly, "I'm afraid this is not appropriate!" Not to mention that she is a woman, men and women are not kissed, not to mention that she is still a concubine in the emperor's harem, and she openly gets close to the ministers of the court, so that people with ulterior motives can guess.
Sikong also immediately realized his mistakes, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through, and I ask Miss Ji not to be surprised." ”
Looking at his somewhat overwhelmed answer, Mo Yu felt a different emotion in his heart. His words and deeds are not what should happen between ordinary friends. She couldn't help but feel a little melancholy in her heart, and if that person would be like this, she would be very happy.
Seeing that her expression was different, Sikong thought she was angry, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say this just now, I ...... I was so nervous that I ......."
Seeing that he was incoherent, Mo Yu smiled helplessly: "I'm not angry, the chrysanthemum scenery is rare to see, if you have friends to see it together, it will also be a beautiful thing." ”
Sikong let go of the nervousness in her heart, as long as she wasn't angry. Then his eyes lit up and he said, "What did you just say...... Say we're friends? ”
Mo Yuyan smiled, "Don't you want to?" ”
Who wouldn't want to. Sikong nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and smirked: "Yes, yes, I'm willing." ”
"Then tomorrow, we'll see you at Xiangguo Temple." It's impossible to go out of the city together, but it's still okay to have a chance encounter in the Great Xiangguo Temple.
"Okay, see you at Xiangguoji Temple. It's getting late, then, I'll go first. After speaking, Sikong Jun stood up and walked towards the door. He was afraid that if he left too late, she would regret it. From behind him, Moyu's voice came out, "Sikong." ”
Sikong turned his head, watched Mo Yu pick up his fan on the table, handed it over, and walked to Mo Yu embarrassedly, took the fan in her hand, said "thank you", and then went out. When I got out of the room, I couldn't help laughing, thinking about the scene of being able to enjoy the flowers with her tomorrow, and I was looking forward to it.
In the evening, the Ji Mansion set up a banquet, and Moyu brought gifts to everyone one by one. The gifts are usually rewarded by the emperor or given by the concubines, nothing special, but they are not rude. After eating quietly, everyone went back to their own atoms to rest, and the Double Ninth Festival didn't seem to have much to do with her.
