Chapter 301: The Old Man
After sending Chen Ting away, Dongfang Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Wang Shugen and the others were puzzled.
"Sir, knowing that there is danger here, why don't you move to the General's Mansion?" Wang Shugen couldn't help but ask.
Dongfang Jin glanced at Wang Shugen and said with a smile: "Big brother has taken care of me very much, I can't let him lose the harmony between husband and wife because of me." ”
This is naturally one of the reasons, and there is another reason, although Dongfang Jin himself does not want to admit it, but he has to admit it.
In fact, there is a trace of expectation in her heart.
Looking forward to Su Muxi coming to her again.
It's just that at night, she is still waiting for only Chen Ting.
Chen Ting was worried that what happened last night would happen again, and despite Dongfang Jin's opposition, he resolutely stayed to keep vigil for her, which made Dongfang Jin a little overwhelmed.
It's just that this night was surprisingly quiet, and the silence was unsettling.
Early the next morning, Chen Ting went to the court without saying goodbye to Dongfang Jin.
Not long after Dongfang Jin got up, the Chen family's old house ushered in an uninvited guest.
Wang Shugen heard the sound of the courtyard door opening and closing, and hurriedly went out to check, only to see five or six people surrounded by a woman in her thirties, and walked into the small courtyard gracefully.
He hadn't seen anyone coming, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Who are you looking for, this lady?" ”
"If you don't look for anyone, you just don't go back to the old house to see, I have some worries in my heart, I happened to pass by on the street today, so I came to see, are you the guard of the husband when he was marching?"
The person who came was not someone else, it was Chen Ting's wife Ge Shi.
Wang Shugen was not stupid, after hearing this, he knew that the person in front of him was not someone else, but Chen Ting's wife, and hurriedly saluted: "Yes, Wang Shugen knocked to see Mrs. ”
"Get up, I heard that Mr. West is still living here, and he is the think tank of his husband's side, I don't know if he is there?"
Dongfang Jin had just dressed up, and she heard someone talking in the courtyard, at first she didn't care, at this time, when she heard someone mention the word "West", she couldn't help but glance out of the window, only to see a lady dressed in a well-dressed posture walked in, guessing that it was Chen Ting's wife, so she hurriedly walked out.
The moment Dongfang Jin opened the door, Ge Shi and Dongfang Jin's eyes met.
The two were silent for a moment, and then they only heard Ge Shi laugh and say, "This is Mr. West, right?" ”
Dongfang Jin saluted her and said with a generous smile: "I've seen my sister-in-law in the West!" ”
"Why do you need to be so polite, the husband mentioned you for a long time, saying that if it were not for you to conquer the western army, Xincheng would not be recovered so smoothly, it can be seen that Mr. is a person with real talent and learning, and he is not a fool of people in the army."
Dongfang Jin couldn't help but smile when he heard Ge's words: "When Mrs. Sister-in-law said this, the West didn't know how to answer you, in fact, the West itself felt that it was a cheating and drinking in the army, but fortunately, the general did not give up and took me in the army, otherwise there would be no place for me." ”
Ge Shi smiled dryly: "Look at what Mr. West said, there are no idlers in this army, you can stay in the army of the West for such a long time, you will definitely not be a person who eats and drinks, I came in a hurry today, I didn't prepare a gift for you, another day when you go to the house, I will definitely give you something as a meeting gift." ”
The corners of Dongfang Jin's mouth curled slightly, and said: "In this way, then it is convenient to thank Mrs. Sister-in-law first, if Mrs. Sister-in-law does not dislike here, please sit in the room." ”
Ge Shi looked inside, she actually wanted to go in and have a look, but the person standing in front of her was a big man, and it was inconvenient for her to go in.
"You don't have to be polite, sir, I'm just passing through here, a little stuffy, so I came in and walked around, and now I'm going to do business, so I won't disturb Mr.'s purity."
After Ge finished speaking, he saluted Dongfang Jin and took her people out of the Chen family's old mansion.
After walking out of the door, Ge Shi said to Mama Qi who was following him: "Mama has you seen any doorway, I always think that this West is a little strange, but I can't say where it is strange?" ”
Mama Qi pondered for a while and said: "The slave maid also felt that something didn't seem right, but she couldn't say it for a while, but she felt that this Western chief was too delicate, quiet and quiet, how like a person on duty in the army." ”
"What you said is right, this is exactly what I am afraid of, the husband has always had a good reputation, if it is because of this West, there are bad words, it will not damage the wisdom of the husband and the first. Momma. I'm going to have to think of a way to get rid of this West. Ge Shi said with some anger on his face.
Mama Qi hurriedly persuaded: "Madam, if you don't interfere in the affairs of men outside, if you manage too much, the general will be angry, and if you hurt the feelings between your husband and wife because of this, won't the gains outweigh the losses." Speaking of this, she paused for a moment and said: "On a man like the general, if you occasionally like a half-handsome boy, it's not a big problem, Mrs. just turn a blind eye, anyway, she is not a woman, the general can't marry him into the mansion as a side room, and the danger is not the status of the lady, so the general went, and you are all virtuous and generous, and after that, the general will thank you for your leniency." If Madame is really angry and does something unfavorable to the West, the general will know that he will definitely be unhappy, even if he won't say anything to Madame, he will definitely have a pimple in his heart, if this is the case, the general will no longer be like this to Madame, but it will be bad. ”
When Mama Qi said this, the dissatisfaction on Ge's face gradually faded, and he sighed: "Do I have to endure this breath?" It's been almost ten years since I married the general, but we haven't come out of anything, this has always been my heart disease, if he is a woman, I want to simply let the general take her and put her by his side, so as to open up branches and leaves for the Chen family. But he is a man, didn't he delay the general in vain, and the inheritance of the Chen family did not help him in the slightest. ”
Mama Qi smiled and said: "Sometimes, a man is just a momentary pleasure, he doesn't care if it's useful or not, Madame just doesn't care about it." ”
Although Ge Shi was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, he didn't mention it anymore.
***************************************************************************
After Dongfang Jin sent Ge away, he was about to go back to the room, only to listen to Wang Kai, who came back from buying vegetables outside: "I don't know what's going on, the emperor suddenly rehabilitated Zhaoxue for the Shangguan family who copied the family a few years ago, but, what's the use, the people of the Shangguan family are dead, and there is no one alive, who can inherit the bloodline of the Shangguan family and continue the Shangguan family?" ”
"Why can't I understand what you're saying?" Wang Shugen couldn't help but ask, "Are you talking about the Shangguan family?" ”
"Our big Han, which Shangguan family can there be, naturally the former Shangguan national teacher's family, wasn't it beheaded by the emperor in the first few years for the crime of collaborating with the enemy? Now as soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, he rehabilitated the Shangguan family. ”
After Wang Shugen heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and said, "Rehabilitated? Why? ”
"What else can I do, naturally I have verified that the Shangguan family has no collaborators." Wang Kai snorted lightly and said, "It's not all a matter of the emperor's words, the old emperor said that they were guilty, so he raided the house and beheaded them, and the new emperor said that they did not collaborate with the enemy, so they were rehabilitated, but this time, dozens of lives of the Shangguan family were gone." ”
After Dongfang Jin heard their discussion, her eyes were hot, and tears couldn't help but flow down, she hurriedly entered the door and closed the door with her back.
Wang Kai is right, this is royal, a word can make a life, a word can make people die.
"I heard that the emperor not only rehabilitated the Shangguan family, but also rebuilt the tomb for the old national teacher of Shangguan, set up an ancestral hall, and enjoyed the worship of the people."
"That can be regarded as an explanation to the old national teacher, after all, the old national teacher has made great contributions to our Han Dynasty."
"This is just a way for the emperor to win people's hearts today, how can the royal family have anything serious." Wang Ji, who had not spoken, couldn't help but snort coldly.
"Wang Ji, if you say such things in front of us, you must not go out and say it, let people listen to it, and you may cause some trouble." Wang Shugen hurriedly stopped him.
Wang Ji stopped talking.
"It's none of our business, we just have to take care of Mr. West." Wang Kai hurriedly interrupted, "Don't waste your lips and tongues on these unimportant things." ”
"That's right, no matter whether the Shangguan family should be rehabilitated or not, it has nothing to do with us."
They went about their own business, and talked about it no more.
Dongfang Jin walked straight to the bed, is this Su Muxi calming her heart?
From now on, she no longer has to secretly pay tribute to her grandfather and father, she can go to her grandfather's ancestral hall to pay respects.
She and her sister don't have to deliberately hide their connection with the Shangguan family, and no one will be convicted because of their relationship with the Shangguan family.
Dongfang Jin thought about it a lot, and suddenly thought that this matter should be known to another person.
She thought about it, freshened up, changed her clothes, and planned to go out.
It's just that as soon as she walked out of the door, Wang Shugen greeted her: "Sir, are you going out?" ”
"Yes, I'm going to see an old man, so you don't have to follow." Dongfang Jin said as he walked out.
How could Wang Shugen rest assured that he would go out alone, so he hurriedly beckoned his brothers to follow, and said, "Sir, it's too dangerous for you to go out by yourself, let's go with you." ”
Dongfang Jin still had to open his mouth to refuse, only to hear Wang Shugen say: "The general handed over Mr. to us, if something happens to Mr., we will go to see the general, Mr. still don't embarrass us." ”
Dongfang Jin smiled at them and said, "Okay, you guys prepare the car, let's go together." ”
Wang Shugen hurriedly asked Wang Zhong to prepare the car.
Dongfang Jin sat in the car, and several of them followed on horseback, walking towards the outside of the capital.
Although Dongfang Jin was in a car, they didn't know the road, so Dongfang Jin simply sat on the wheel and drove forward by himself.
When he arrived at the foot of Yunshang Mountain on the outskirts of the city, Dongfang Jin grabbed the reins of his horse and instructed Wang Shugen and others: "There is a world in this Yunshang Mountain, if you encounter any situation, I will deal with it, you don't act recklessly." ”
"Yes! Mr. ”
The five shouted in unison.
They slowly entered Yunshang Mountain, and when they reached the halfway point, a dozen black-clothed men jumped down from the mountain beam next to them, blocking their way.
The leader shouted at them, "We will only rob the money, and leave the money for you to pass by." ”
"We are here to visit the deceased, and we didn't bring any money, I only have a piece of jade pendant here and said in the past, brother Man will take it to exchange for wine money." After Dongfang Jin finished speaking, he threw the jade pendant hanging on his waist towards more than a dozen black-clothed people.
The leader stretched out his hand to catch the jade pendant, took it in his hand and looked at it, then hurriedly dismounted and saluted Dongfang Jin, and said: "It turned out that Engong arrived, we didn't know that Engong came, how offensive we are, and I hope to forgive me." With that, he held the jade pendant in front of Dongfang Jin with both hands.
Dongfang Jin took the jade pendant and said with a smile: "Those who don't know are not drunk, I just took advantage of the Tao today, thank you for letting us go." ”
"Engong said this, if our boss knows about it, and he doesn't pull out our skin, Engong please!"
After he finished speaking, the men in black automatically stood on both sides to make way for Dongfang Jin and the others.
Dongfang Jin smiled and drove past them.
After walking for about half an hour, we came to the door of a nunnery.
Dongfang Jin jumped down from the carriage and said to Wang Shugen and the others: "Then you will wait at the door, I will go in and say a few words, and then come out." ”
"Yes!"
Dongfang Jin pushed the door and walked into the nunnery.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard the sound of wooden fish tapping inside.
"Donor, who are you looking for?" A little nun walked up to Dongfang Jin and asked cautiously.
Dongfang Jin smiled at her and said, "I'm here to find Mrs. Huixian." ”
After hearing this, the little nun said, "Master Huixian doesn't see outsiders. ”
"I'm not an outsider, you just need to tell me which room she's in, and I'll visit myself."
The little nun glanced at Dongfang Jin stubbornly, and still said, "Master Huixian doesn't see outsiders. ”
Dongfang Jin shook his head helplessly and said, "Then I'll find it myself." ”
The little nun stretched out her long sleeves to stop her, and said timidly: "You are a male donor, we do not accept male donors here, please go back!" ”
Dongfang Jin took a step forward, and the little nun was so frightened that she took a step back, but she always stood in front of Dongfang Jin, "Donor, please stop!" ”
At this moment, I heard a man's voice from the first room in the east: "Let her in." ”
It was not someone else who spoke, it was the "Mrs. Huixian" in Dongfang Jin's mouth.
Only then did the little nun dodge her body from Dongfang Jin's front and stood aside.
Dongfang Jin looked at her sideways and couldn't help laughing.
When he walked to the door of the first room on the east side, he made a Buddhist salute, and before he could speak, the person inside said, "You are here, come in." ”
Dongfang Jin pushed the door and entered. (To be continued.) )
