Chapter 208: Entering the House
Although Brother Lan came from a humble background, when Pei Ming knew him, he was just a small guy in the Ruyi Restaurant. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
But now, looking at his bearing and appearance, he is not inferior to the son of the family.
The so-called heroes don't ask about their backgrounds, didn't King Yong'an himself rely on Xuanhe's military exploits to have today's famous status?
In addition, the prince of Yong'an is obviously more intimate with Lan Zhou than his own son, and Pei Ming can't help but feel a sense of crisis for his own son from the bottom of his heart.
Therefore, when Chu Yuning, Brother An and the others closed the door and had breakfast in the room, Pei Ming hung his head and said to Zhu Yuanxiao, who had a poor appetite, "Shizi, I just saw Xiao Brother Lan enter the room and have breakfast with Xiao Shizi and the county lord. ”
"Little Brother Lan?" Zhu Yuanxiao held the hand of the chopsticks and paused for a moment, squinted slightly with a pair of seductive peach blossom eyes, and thought for a while before remembering who this little brother Lan was.
"Oh." He replied lightly, picked up a soup dumpling, and ate it elegantly.
"Shizi..."Pei Mingjian hesitated for a moment, and asked uncertainly, "Do you remember who Little Brother Lan is?" ”
"How not to remember." Zhu Yuanxiao licked the soup at the corner of his lips, at the age of twelve, with the body of a small girl, he could get tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets, how could such a person be underestimated?
Not to mention, he has been in the north all these years, starting as a small soldier, and now he seems to have become a confidant under the command of King Yong'an, otherwise King Yong'an will rest assured that he will escort Chu Yuning's sister and brother into Jinling, such a major matter will be handed over to him?
Pei Ming stared at his son-in-law's eyes that seemed to contain a thousand words, and swallowed the words on his lips.
He has been by Zhu Yuanxiao's side for decades, and his family has always been a person who doesn't look down on him, and he doesn't even bother to give one a look.
And with his contemplative appearance, he must have put Lan Zhou in his heart.
"Presumably Sister Yu Ning should finish eating." Zhu Yuanxiao wiped the corners of his lips, stood up, glanced at Pei Ming, and walked out, "Let's say goodbye to Sister Yuning first." ”
Pei Ming couldn't help but be stunned.
"Shizi, you ......"
Didn't you say before, take this opportunity to enter the Zhongyi Bofu with the county lord to help the county lord?
Zhu Yuanxiao glanced back at him, "Did you stammer?" Talking! ”
Pei Ming choked in his throat, swallowed the words that came to his mouth, and answered honestly.
"Knock knock!" He stood outside the door of the room where Chu Yuning was again and knocked on the door appointingly.
When there was a knock on the door, there was the sound of footsteps in the room.
Lightweight, fast and calm.
Sure enough, Lan Zhou opened the door halfway, and when he saw that it was Zhu Yuanxiao's master and servant, he turned sideways and stepped aside, "Shizi, please." ”
Chu Yuning put down the chopsticks, wiped her mouth, took An Ge'er's hand, and stood up.
"I'm sorry to disturb Sister Yuning's meal." Zhu Yuanxiao smiled at the two, "When I entered Jinling City yesterday, it was already late, and it was inconvenient to go to the Xinwuhou Mansion to disturb, so I stayed in this small shop for a night." I'm afraid my grandmother will be worried, so I need to go back early. I came to say goodbye to Sister Yuning and Brother An. ”
Brother An originally looked at Zhu Yuanxiao with a wary face, and when she heard that she was here to say goodbye, the whole person relaxed.
Zhu Yuanxiao took his reaction into his eyes, and looked at Chu Yuning gently, "Zhongyibo's Mansion is not far from Xinwuhou's Mansion, another day, I will visit again and ask Zhongyibo for peace." On another day, let's meet again. ”
Chu Yuning bent his knees and saluted Zhu Yuanxiao, "The prince has gone all the way." Please greet the old lady on my behalf. ”
Zhu Yuanxiao nodded. Stretched out his hand and rubbed An Ge'er's head, took off a delicate dagger from his waist, and handed it to An Ge'er, "We met by chance, and I didn't bring anything good." I have used this dagger for several years, and it is quite sharp, and today I will give it to Brother An as a meeting gift, but I am not allowed to laugh at the shabby brother of the prince. ”
Brother An looked at the dagger with bright eyes, and saw Chu Yuning nodding slightly, so he took it and said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Shizi!" "The ground is sweet and soft.
Zhu Yuanxiao smiled at him, bowed slightly at Lan Zhou, and walked out with Pei Ming.
An Ge'er couldn't wait to pull out the dagger, only to see a flash of cold light, the sharp blade, emitting a faint cold light, he picked up the chopsticks on the table, lightly sharpened, almost not much force, the chopsticks split in two.
Satisfied, An'er inserted the dagger into the sheath and placed it in his arms.
Raising his head, he bent a pair of eyes and asked, "Sister, when are we going to Zhongyi Uncle's Mansion?" ”
Chu Yuning glanced at him helplessly, "Grandfather is seriously ill, it's not good for you to make such a happy appearance." ”
When Brother An heard this, his small mouth immediately deflated, and his round eyes blinked vigorously a few times, making a weak and pitiful appearance.
"Grandpa is seriously ill, Brother An is anxious, but worried."
Chu Yuning coughed "lightly", almost didn't hold back, and laughed out loud.
I don't know who this ghost spirit learned from.
The two cleaned up a little, then got into the carriage, still driven by Lan Zhou, and several secret guards, secretly accompanied them, and went to Zhongyibo's mansion.
Autumn is getting stronger, although Chongyang has passed nearly a month, the chrysanthemums on both sides of the street are in full bloom, competing for beauty, but still can't stop the cold air in the middle.
The door of Zhongyibo's Mansion was closed, and only the side door looked at a crack slightly.
Lan Zhou put the carriage on the opposite side, put on a golden ginkgo tree, and parked it, and asked Chu Yuning's sister and brother to wait a while, get out of the car, cross the wide and smooth bluestone road, and go to lock the door.
"Knock knock! Knock knock! After knocking a few times, the little guy came to answer the door, "Who is coming?" What is it? Is there a prayer post? ”
Lan Zhou said: "I am a small servant in the Yong'an Palace, the princess heard that the uncle was unwell, but she was pregnant, and it was inconvenient to travel. When he finished speaking, he presented the prayer post.
The little maid took the post, asked Lan Zhou to wait a while, waved his hand to beckon an errand girl, and handed the things to her.
The girl took the prayer note and ran to the back house.
After about half an hour, I saw that the sun was rising higher and higher, but the girl who delivered the message sank into the sea like a stone, and there was no trace.
Lan Zhou said to the little guy: "Can you ask the little brother to find someone to ask about the situation?" Why have you waited for so long and not seen any repercussions? ”
"Please forgive me, little brother." The little guy was busy squeezing out a smile on his face, "Uncle has been sick in bed for several months, Mrs. and grandmother are busy taking care of it day and night, and Son-in-law is busy with business inside and out. ”
Lan Zhou pursed his lips and didn't say anything.
I waited for more than half an hour.
The girl who delivered the message came out of breath and said, "Please invite the county lord and the little prince to enter the mansion." As he spoke, he ordered the servant to open the side door.
Lan Zhou looked at this girl, "The county lord and the prince are noble. The owner of the house was busy and could not come to greet him in person, which was reasonable. However, you let the county lord and the prince enter through the side door, and you can bear the sin of slackness? (To be continued.) )
