Chapter 45 The Legend of the Second Lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion
"Childe is here".
Rou Niang opened the door and looked at Lian Qingcheng with a shy smile, pretending to mysteriously pull her into the house.
"Why is it like this?"
Lian Qingcheng flashed her eyebrows, and looked at Ah Er behind her helplessly, since she came out of the dungeon, Xiao Yu always avoided her intentionally or unintentionally, and Ah Er no longer pestered Xiao Yu, and the two of them didn't know what happened.
Ah Er stood to the side with a righteous attitude, his eyes fixed on the private room on the other side.
Rou Niang stretched out her finger and said coquettishly: "Call Gongzi here, naturally there is a good show for you, Su Yu's restaurant has been preparing for a long time." β
"Really? That boy is going to appreciate it. β
Lian Qingcheng smiled with interest, looked at Ah Er's line of sight, and saw Liu Muxian and a woman sitting in the private room, although the two were not very close, they were still harmonious.
"That's the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Qin family."
Rou Niang gently reminded that since the accident with Liu Hanyu, the eldest lady Xu has been accompanying her daughter in the house, how can she have leisure to escape.
The door of the private room was slowly pushed open from the outside, and Su Yu, dressed in white, walked straight to Lian Qingcheng and sat down.
"What the hell are you doing?"
Lian Qingcheng looked at him puzzled.
Su Yu pursed his lips and smiled, his eyebrows were very tender, "Childe just watch the show." β
A waking wood slammed on the table, and she looked downstairs, where it turned out to be a storyteller.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what I want to talk about today is the former imperial examination champion Chen Shipan's attachment to the powerful people who abandoned Qingmei to marry the daughter of your minister, you have to listen carefully!"
Lian Qingcheng was not interested in this story, the things of the previous dynasty were in the past, but Su Yu spent a lot of effort to act in such a play, and he must have his own deep meaning, she glanced casually at another private room, but saw that a line of tears hung on Qin's face at some point.
"Childe, can you hear some doorways?"
Su Yu asked her with a chuckle, his eyes glancing at Liu Muxian and Qin.
Even Qingcheng twisted his eyebrows, only to hear the storyteller preach: "This Chen Shi and Ruhua are also childhood sweethearts, Chen Shi has been reading hard for ten years only for the title of the gold list, such as a flower and a thorn hairpin cloth skirt late at night, Lang Qing concubine is very affectionate, such as flowers in order to let Chen Shi concentrate on studying, the family's livelihood is all on themselves, and later Chen Shixiang tried to win the championship to cross the river into Beijing, Ruhua thought that it would soon be a return to his hometown, but he didn't expect to get it year after year of waiting, after forty years of changing the dynasty, the new emperor ascended the throne and ordered a new official road, Chen Shi was ordered to return to his hometown, The white hair of such flowers spread to his brows, but Chen Shi was already full of glory with his wife, and he forgot the old childhood plum. β
Xingmu closed it, and the storyteller closed his fan and sighed, while Qin's eyebrows were lowered and his eyes were lowered, and tears had soaked his sleeves.
"After a few years, I dreamed of flashiness and won the reputation of Gao Tang Bo."
Lian Qingcheng muttered, looking at Liu Muxian shamelessly, he thought that the Liu family had a strong foundation, but he didn't expect that it had only developed from Liu Muxian's generation, and he still used such means, this Qin family is also a poor person after all.
"Qin's is a good fortune compared to the flowers in the story, I heard that after Liu Chengxiang went to high school, she went to Beijing alone to find, originally the Xu family relied on her identity as the main room to live and die and did not let her enter the door, and then Liu Muxian remembered his many years of love with the Qin family and married her through the door to make a side room, but I don't know if the two ladies did anything in their last life, gave birth to a son who was sick all the year round, has been bedridden and has not gone out, and her daughter was abducted and disappeared at a young age for some reason, and has been out of favor for so many years since then, Childe, you say, isn't it miserable? β
Rou Niang lay in front of Lian Qingcheng and whispered, and looked at the Qin family in the room with sympathy.
"Everyone has their own fate, she doesn't complain about herself, what kind of heart are you?"
Lian Qingcheng chuckled and squinted at Liu Muxian, sure enough, he had been in the court for a long time, and such a sad thing couldn't lead him to a trace of compassion.
"Childe, let's go back."
Ah Er suddenly spoke in a deep voice, with a rare stern sΓΉ on his face.
"What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, I just think this Chen Shi is quite bad."
Even Qingcheng sighed lightly, "It's not like you haven't met a worse person, when Liu Wuyong beat you half to death before, I didn't hear you say a word about him bad." β
"People like him have their own evil retribution, so I don't bother to say it."
Ah Er clenched his fists and blushed, and when he mentioned Liu Wuyong, he hated itchy.
Lian Qingcheng saw that he was excited again, and shook his head helplessly and stood up, "Let's go, I don't know how to restrain my temper yet, and you should have been beaten last time." β
When he went out, the door of Liu Muxian's room happened to be opened, and Qin stood at the door and glanced at Lian Qingcheng and Ah Er in astonishment, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief and hurried away.
"Cut, is this son a ghost who eats people in her eyes, why are you scared like that."
Lian Qingcheng pursed his lips, and saw that Liu Muxian was sitting there looking at her with a cold face, and smiled nonchalantly and hugged his fists and said: "Oh, who should I be here, it turns out that the prime minister is the prime minister, the emperor decreed marriage, and this son has not congratulated the prime minister." β
"Human face and beast heart, less pretentiousness."
Liu Muxian snorted coldly and glared at her with displeasure.
Su Yu and Rou Niang saw that Lian Qingcheng was leaving, and they were sitting there drinking, when they heard Liu Muxian say this about her, they hit a force in the air, only to hear a "click", and the sunken wooden bench that Liu Muxian was sitting on broke in half.
Seeing this, Lian Qingcheng sneered and said: "Hmph, I don't know who the pretentious person is, which one is the prime minister singing again, this time you can see it clearly, this son is honestly standing here and doing nothing, the prime minister has a fever and ran to the emperor to complain." β
"You! Lian Qingcheng, don't be too complacent, one day your life will be killed. β
Liu Muxian stood up from the ground with the help of the little maid, Su Yu was full of anger and wanted to make a move, even Qingcheng shook his head with a side face to give an instruction, stared at Liu Muxian and said: "That son is waiting for that day, the prime minister must pay attention to your head, don't I don't die when the time comes, but you will die first." β
She ignored Liu Muxian's growing anger, opened the fan and strode downstairs, Ah Er looked at her back from afar, glanced at Liu Muxian with a cold light in his eyes, and hurriedly ran down to catch up with her with a low snort.
"Childe".
Ah Er followed behind and called her repeatedly, but Lian Qingcheng walked his own way without responding, Ah Er was helpless, hung his head and shook twice, and his steps were faster.
"Childe, you go a little slower."
Lian Qingcheng walked forward with a heavy face, and when he touched a willow tree, he suddenly paused and swung his fist to the trunk.
Ah Er was caught off guard, seeing that he was about to hit her, he hurriedly put away one foot and one kick, and finally stopped three inches away from Lian Qingcheng, looking at the deep fist marks on the trunk, his face was full of worry.
"You say, how did he have the confidence to say that kind of thing to me."
Lian Qingcheng turned around and yelled at Ah Er coldly, and in an instant, he seemed to have regained his senses, and helplessly lowered his head and stepped on the pebbles on the ground as if venting.
Ah Er knew that she still hated Liu Muxian's words, if that person really didn't have half the ability and couldn't sit in the position of prime minister, he dared to say that he wanted Qingcheng's life, and he must have a plan.
"Didn't Childe keep saying, 'The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth', there are always so many of us around you, Liu Muxian wants your life, and you have to ask us if we agree first."
Since Liu Hanyu's accident, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion has been shrouded in an obscure atmosphere, like a little spark, and it only takes a strong wind to burn rapidly.
At night, Liu Wuyong stumbled in the mansion with the help of the little servant, and several official children heard that his sister was about to marry the prince, and they all stammered to invite him to eat and drink, and he reluctantly let him back after the confusion of his drinking.
"Childe, be careful, hey."
The two little guys struggled to carry his body, and they were very bitter in their hearts, even if the young master didn't drink enough, he still liked to drink, but it was bitter for them to be his subordinates.
"Let go, you two dogs, how can you help me, it hurts my son to death."
Liu Wuyong cursed dissatisfiedly, pushed the two little guys away with one hand, and staggered forward.
A woman walked slowly in the distance, Liu Wuyong didn't see it clearly, and her body was about to hit it, but the woman moved her steps to dodge, and Liu Wuyong's fat body hit a paulownia tree, scattering the birds resting on it.
"Who dares to stand in the way of this son, I don't want to live!"
Liu Wuyong lay on the ground and yelled, the two little guys saw that they were not good, and they glanced at the woman in a panic and hurriedly ran over to help him up.
"You two, who just hit Ben Gongzi?!"
"Young master, wronged, it's not us, it's it, it's Aunt Qin."
The two little guys are also very aggrieved, originally this Aunt Qin stayed in the house for many years, and the master has never spoiled her, and they are just a hasty salute when they see it, and I don't know when the old man suddenly said that Aunt Qin is coming, so a side room lady is Ronghua and then favored, and now who doesn't know in the mansion that the person who can't be messed with is her, but the son almost hit Aunt Qin.
As soon as Liu Wuyong heard the words 'Aunt Qin', the whole person seemed to wake up immediately, and looked at Qin's secretly looking eyes timidly, and his body couldn't help trembling.
The two little guys also secretly felt strange, this son has been afraid of anyone since he was a child, but he was afraid to see Aunt Qin, even when she was the most unfavored, the son had to stay away when he saw her, and he didn't know what was going on.
"The young master is drunk, you can help him back to the room to rest."
After a while, the Qin clan slowly spit out a sentence, and the two little servants got the order, and helped Liu Wuyong, who was stunned in place, back as if they were about to be amnesty.
"Big brother is going to buy you something delicious, stand here obediently and don't run around, you know?"
"Well, my little sister will always wait for my brother to come back!"
"Brother, brother, where are you, little sister is afraid!"
"Mother, father, where are you?"
A poignant and immature child's voice echoed in his ears for a long time, Liu Wuyong woke up from his dream with a loud scream, he tightened the brocade quilt on his body in fear, and let the cold sweat flow.
"Big brother, I don't like the cheap seed born to Aunt Qin, why does my father like her so much, she is better looking than me."
When he was seven years old, Liu Han ran to him to complain in a puffed tone, and the youngest daughter born to Aunt Qin was just one year old at that time, and she was very popular when she babbled and spoke.
"Big brother, my mother doesn't listen to me, she's afraid that her father will scold her, you quickly find a way to get rid of that cheap girl."
Hanyu is his own sister, so as an elder brother, it is natural that he should love her more, right?
So the next day, Aunt Qin's little daughter was lost, he told his father that his little sister wanted to eat sugar gourd, he just turned around and the little sister disappeared, no one knew, it was he who deliberately took the little sister to the broken temple on the outskirts of the city and let her cry there until dark, after that, when he came back, the Prime Minister's Mansion finally left only Liu Hanyu as a young lady.
Liu Wuyong walked out of bed with trembling feet and opened the window to blow a cool breeze, but behind the rockery in the courtyard, a familiar figure slowly walked by, and he closed the window in a panic and turned his back.
Aunt Qin? Is she, has found something?
