Chapter 9: The Old Man Is Missing
This time, Dong Tao's words, Le Xi understood.
This is because people are not in the house, and as a slave, they can't leave the house without the permission of their masters, so they are in a hurry.
But Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing should be far away, even if she allows them to go out, no matter how maid it is, it is also a girl's house, and she doesn't know whether it is safe or unstable on the road.
Le Xi was about to take some tokens so that they could go out of the house to find someone, and suddenly realized the safety problem.
During this time, Le Shaoyuan directly took the idea, and only listened to him: "When I returned to the city, I met a lot of homeless people, you went to find Tong Zhong, and asked him to bring a few guards with him, and go to Zhuangzi to pick up people." β
After that, Le Shaoyuan reached out and untied the purse on his waist, which contained his private seal, and motioned for Dong Tao to take it.
Le Shaoyuan helped, and Le Xi couldn't be happier, so that even if the fierce grandmother wanted to inquire, it would be easy to get by.
Dong Tao hurriedly responded, respectfully took the things and retreated, and the anxiety on his face was replaced by excitement.
Lexi's nurse Mother Li is her aunt, and she can get face in the Li family and become a big girl, which also has her relationship. As early as when she heard that those people were sick, most of her heart was cold, for fear that Mother Li would also be bad.
On the side of Ronghui Courtyard, the investigation is still going on in secret, and Le Yu has already drunk a bowl of tea with the prince of Huguo.
The prince of Huguo is silent, and he doesn't often interact with other sons, and he is famous for martial arts, he just sits there silently, and Le Yu also feels very pressured. can only be a head-to-head greeting with him.
"As early as when I was in the paddock, I saw that Lu Shizi was very skilled, and I wanted to ask for advice, but unfortunately the emperor suddenly issued an order and hurriedly pulled out the camp and returned to the court."
When Lu Yu heard this, he took a sip of the tea he had just added, and his tone was neither salty nor light. "There's always a chance."
ββ¦β¦β
This is simply the aftermath of cutting off people!
Le Yu choked, and the smile on his lips became stiff. He felt that he was really not suitable to greet this prince of the country, no matter how he found words, he would not answer again after someone replied.
In the end, Le Yu had to laugh and laugh dryly.
Fortunately, this embarrassment disappeared after a while.
Steward Liu came, and the Duchess of Huguo had already said goodbye to the old lady, and this person would be here soon.
Le Yu was suddenly pardoned, and Lu Yu also patted his robe and got up to greet his mother.
The Li family sent the Duchess of the Protector of the Country, and naturally it was inevitable to see the Prince of the Protector.
I saw that the young man who was only sixteen years old had a calm and sophisticated demeanor in words and deeds, and his appearance was also excellent. Li is quite pleasing to the eye at first glance, and he also thinks of his son, who was also so mature at this age. But in an instant, I remembered the domineering arrogance of the Duchess of Fang Cai, and I didn't like the fiancΓ© who suddenly appeared in Lexi. On the surface, it is a passable boast.
As for the temper of the Duchess of the Protector, the Li family never wanted Le Xi to become this marriage, but the ancient rules for women were too rigid, how to be cautious about this marriage.
Sending people out of the Weeping Flower Gate and sending away Le Yu, who had been tortured so much, that Li was secretly angry and went back to Ronghui Courtyard.
"You trekked back to Beijing, you didn't have a good rest, why did Baba come here."
The mother and son of the Duchess Huguo boarded their carriage after leaving the weeping flower gate, and she was very dissatisfied with the sudden arrival of her son.
Pretending not to hear his mother's emotions, Lu Yu replied respectfully, he was sent by the Protector. When the Duchess of the Protector heard this, her face changed.
The marriage between the Protector's Mansion and the Aunting Uncle's daughter was set by the deceased old Protector Prince, and at that time the Protector's Mansion was still a hereditary three-generation Houfu, and when it came to Le Shaoyuan's generation, it was the fourth generation and was demoted to the Uncle's Mansion.
The Duchess of Huguo was dissatisfied with the Marquis of Anding, which had no status in the court, and felt that she was not worthy of the Guogong Mansion and would not be able to help her son in the future. What's more, it has also been reduced to Bofu, and Lexi has always had a reputation for being pampered and domineering.
But this marriage was decided by the old princess, and she didn't dare to say more, otherwise an unfilial piety would be suppressed, and her status as the princess of the protector would be unstable. And this is not easy, and finally looked forward to something that Uncle Anding didn't care, she could use the topic to play, and wanted to put some pressure on Mrs. Uncle Anding first.
This Le Xi can make trouble on the street once, maybe there will be a second time, and it just so happened that the protector went out of Beijing with the emperor, so she dared to come to the Bofu and said. Who knows, this front foot only came, and her husband came back with his feet. also sent her son to pick her up, and made it clear that he guessed what her idea was.
Thinking of this, the Duchess of the Protector couldn't help but shudder. The protector is the most impatient that she has thoughts about this marriage, and this time, I am afraid that it will not be good.
The Duchess of the Protector was in a state of confusion, secretly regretting her impulses, and her heart was full of thoughts about how to go back. At this time, Lu Yu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth.
"Mother, how many thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls are there in this mansion?"
The son suddenly inquired about the girl in Andingbofu, and the Duchess of Huguo was stunned for a moment, and then spoke. "I only know Andingbo's concubines and concubines, concubines fourteen, concubines thirteen. I haven't seen the rest yet, so how can I ask about this? β
When Lu Yu heard this, his eyes flashed. "If it's okay, just ask casually."
The son's words were obviously perfunctory, but the Duchess of the Protector didn't believe it, her eyes rolled, and she couldn't figure out why her son had such a move, and she didn't bother to explore. She was still thinking about how to deal with the protector.
However, the Duchess of the Protector had a flash of inspiration at this time, and her heart instantly turned up with excited waves.
Anding Boke has two daughters, and if there is a problem with one virtue, he can always change it, as for the concubine...... Isn't it more to her liking?! At that time, how to discuss, isn't it her Protector's Mansion that has the final say! Moreover, at that time, won't the Guogong Mansion and the Bofu still have in-laws, which is not against the will of the old Guogong!
In her joy, the Duchess of the Protector glanced at her son again, and she was secretly worried in her heart. Is the son also reminded himself of this? And Lu Yu, who was thinking elsewhere, didn't know that his mother had other thoughts because of this sentence.
Li returned to Ronghui Courtyard with anger, and after seeing Le Shaoyuan, it dissipated, and Le Xi saw that Li's eyes were slightly red, so he dismissed the maid and went to the West Wing himself. Let's let Li talk to Le Shaoyuan first.
The west wing of Ronghui Courtyard has opened a small study, and when Le Xi has nothing to do in the past two days, he has started to design drawings in the study.
Today's things are one after another, and Le Xi has no intention of designing the pearl hairpin at this time, just looking at the half-finished drawings in front of him and being stunned. There was a lot of commotion in my head, it was all today's bad news, especially what Le Shaoyuan told her, my brother was not in this mansion. Missing.
This whereabouts are unknown, if they are like them, it is good to be reborn in this Gengyuan Dynasty, they can always find it. I'm afraid that in case......
Thinking of the worst-case scenario, Lexi's whole person fell into a panic again, just like the feeling she felt when she woke up and saw a strange world.
Le Xi was thinking wildly when there was movement outside, it was a woman's voice. Looking out from the windowsill, I saw a blue figure entering the main room, Le Xi secretly wondered who came to the door, Chunya came out of the main room, and walked in this direction.
"Girl, Mother Qi next to the old lady came, saying that the old lady asked several people to go to Wufu Courtyard for dinner in the evening." Chunya entered the study and reported with a smile.
Le Xi hummed, knowing that the Yu family meant to wash the dust for Le Shaoyuan's father and son.
