Chapter 285: Childe's Order (2)
It took Bai Qingting more than 20 days to return to Zhongyuan County, Haining Mansion, Junziheng to Haining Mansion for about 10 days, and Xiao Jiu to Haining Mansion only took three days and three nights.
Bai Qingting came slowly in a carriage, Jun Ziheng was a fast horse, but Xiao Jiu ran to death twelve fast horses, day and night, and his eyes were bloodshot.
It was just used as an excuse to enter the palace, saying that her father died of illness, and she sold herself to bury her father.
This is the most common and common means of the ages, but it is also the most effective and convincing excuse.
Because it's so commonplace.
Under the rule of the Heavenly Dynasty, which attaches the most importance to filial piety, there are always a few such things happening every day.
The bloodshot she boiled out in a hurry also made others say that her filial piety was commendable and sad.
After Xiao Jiu successfully entered the palace, he used some silver taels and scheming, and successfully went to the third lady of the palace to wait.
Although she wanted to wait directly beside Gong Gaochang, Gong Gaochang's courtyard had long since stopped entering slaves and maids, and even several of them were kicked out for no reason, but Gong Gaochang didn't like so many people dangling in front of him.
Gong Youqiu and his wife also followed Gong Gaochang's intentions.
In this way, she has no reason to blend into Gong Gaochang's courtyard.
I had no choice but to retreat and mix with the third lady of the palace.
Today, she deliberately spoke in front of the third lady of the palace, and it took a lot of words to ask for an errand.
This will Xiao Jiuzheng was ordered by the third lady of the palace to go to the courtyard of Gong Gaochang to deliver nourishing black chicken and astragalus nourishing soup.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I was stopped.
She looked at the two palace servants who blocked the way, and her face was delicate. Reprimanded softly:
"Madame ordered me to send tonic soup to the third son, what are you stopping me from!"
One of the servants said: "Sister Jiu'er just came, I must not know that the third prince gave an order earlier, saying that idlers are not allowed to enter the courtyard at will. ”
Xiao Jiu's pointed chin lifted: "Am I an idle person?" I'm the one next to Madame! The third prince hasn't been out of the yard for some time, and Madame is worried, so I sent some tonic soup every now and then, but you're fine! Always stop me! ”
Another little guy said: "Sister Jiu'er, forgive me!" We are all subordinates, only listen to the master, how can there be any reason to disobey? ”
Xiao Jiuzheng glanced at this little guy and saw that although he was born ordinary. A pair of eyes are very fine. A cold eye said:
"If you dare to love you, you're turning a corner and scolding me!"
The little guy hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare! How dare I scold Sister Jiu'er! ”
Xiao Jiu snorted coldly: "I didn't care about you a few times ago, you stopped me, so I went back to Madame's yard, and I didn't talk to you." But this time it's different! ”
The little guy asked, "Why is it different?" ”
Xiao Jiu's face was full of worry. It seems that he has been greatly wronged. Eyes glow with water:
"Madame said, if I want to send the tonic soup back as it is this time, Madame will sell me!"
The two boys looked at each other.
Xiao Jiu choked up and said, "Sell to that kind of fireworks...... Me, I...... Woowoo woo ......"
Speaking of which, in the end. Xiao Jiubei came from it and cried in a low voice.
The two little guys saw Xiao Jiu crying with pear blossoms and rain, which made people feel pity, and they didn't feel that their hearts softened.
But hindering Gong Gaochang's previous order, they were very embarrassed.
I didn't want such a beautiful Xiao Jiu to be sold to the flower building by the third lady of the palace to be ruined, and I didn't dare to disobey Gong Gaochang's order.
Xiao Jiu saw that they had already been moved by her, and said softly:
"Jiu'er didn't dare to embarrass the two elder brothers, so he just begged the two elder brothers to let Jiu'er go into the yard and personally serve this black chicken and astragalus nourishing soup to the third son, even if the third son just took a sip, Jiu'er would be able to return to Mrs.!"
With such a weak and pitiful appearance, Xiao Jiu secretly despised himself in his heart.
If it weren't for Xiao Yi's order from his son-in-law, saying that if within two days, they would not be able to find their own girl, they would be eliminated from the glazed tower and never appear in front of the son again.
One of the little guys was already so fascinated by Xiao Jiu that he was about to respond, but at a critical moment, the shrewd other guy stopped him:
"It's not that we want to embarrass Sister Jiu'er, it's just ...... It's just that we have to let us in and give the third son a salute, if the third son says yes, we naturally have to lead Sister Jiu'er in to see the third son! ”
Xiao Jiu knew that this shrewd little guy was not easy to fool, and if she said too much, she would lose, so she could only nod her head.
After he entered, Xiao Jiu talked to the rest of the little servant Zolaxi.
If any of the little characters saw her like this at this time, no one would have imagined that Xiao Jiu, who has always been deep and steady, would also have such a long-tongued woman.
It's a pity that from the mouth of the little guy, Xiao Jiu failed to get any useful information.
It's nothing more than some palaces and the most flowery streets, and after being hung on the roof of the most prosperous flower building, they are ruined, depressed, and have some tragic situations of wanting to die.
There is no need for Xiao Jiu to say this, Xiao Jiu already knows.
Just as he was talking about the situation of Gong Gaochang's hunger strike at the beginning, the shrewd little guy returned.
To Xiao Jiu's surprise, it actually brought good news for her.
Originally, she thought that if he went in to report, she would not be able to enter the courtyard again.
The shrewd little guy led Xiao Jiu into the courtyard, and the rest of the little guy still strictly guarded the entrance of the courtyard and didn't let anyone in.
Xiao Jiu wrote down the path along the way, walked around for two quarters of an hour, and did not reach Gong Gaochang's bedroom.
It stands to reason that Gong Gaochang's courtyard is not small, but it is not big, there is no reason to walk for so long, and it has not yet arrived.
Xiao Jiu became suspicious: "Brother, isn't the third son resting in the dormitory?" ”
The shrewd little man continued to lead the way unhurriedly, and replied in a low voice:
"The third prince has never gone out of bed since he lost his hands and feet, but today it is said that the weather is quite good, and he is interested, and the third prince went to the study!"
Xiao Jiuxi said: "This is a good thing, I have to talk to my wife when I go back!" ”
The shrewd little guy laughed and didn't answer.
Xiao Jiu began to be wary.
It was cloudy, but the weather was quite good.
Listening to the third lady of the palace, Gong Gaochang was abolished, so he nested in the dormitory and did not move, and did not leave the dormitory for half a step.
A while ago, Gong Youqiu and the third lady of the palace could still see the side of the palace Gao Chang from time to time, but in recent days, even the two of them have not been able to see Gong Gao Chang again.
At most, he only arrived at the door of Gong Gaochang's bedroom, and let Gong Gaochang inside rush back.
She asked the third lady of the palace again and again, and the third lady of the palace was sure that it was indeed the voice of the palace Gaochang, and the shouting was not unfamiliar to the third lady of the palace.
At the beginning, when Gong Gaochang was carried back to the palace, he looked like he would bite people when he saw them.
Since Gong Gao Chang is really in his own courtyard, is it really just because of the frustration and despair of being deposed?
The answer was about to be revealed, but Xiao Jiu began to panic.
When she arrived at the so-called study, the shrewd little maid opened the door of the study and invited her in with a smile.
Xiao Jiu asked, "The third prince is inside?" ”
The shrewd little guy nodded: "Sister Jiu'er go in, the third son doesn't like to see many people, so I won't go in with Sister Jiu'er, and wait outside the door for Sister Jiu'er to come out." ”
Xiao Jiu saw that he was very sincere, and she had no way out.
Even if it's really Longtan Tiger's Den, she has to break through!
Carrying the food box, she stepped over the threshold.
As soon as he crossed the threshold, the door behind him was closed by the shrewd little man.
Xiao Jiu swept everything in the study with a calm breath.
Tables, chairs, couches, screens, stoves, and fire trays are all as usual, but they are a little eerily quiet.
It's not like there's anyone, it's like no one's land.
She carefully circled the screen and entered the left side of the study, where there was a tall desk, behind which were rows of bookshelves against the wall.
Empty!
Xiao Jiu turned around, and while walking out, he called softly: "Third son? ”
Seeing no response, she said again: "Third son, the slave maid is the eldest maid Huan Jiu'er next to the lady, and the lady is very worried about the third son, so the slave and maid sent the black chicken and astragalus nourishing soup, and gave the third son a taste of the tonic ......"
For a long time, I didn't hear the slightest sound. (To be continued.) )
