Chapter 142: Old Marquis Zhao arrived
Wuhou Mansion is located on the Jinshui River in the south of the Yangtze River, the Jinshui River is a magical river, the river is crystal clear on weekdays, but every full moon night, the river will glow with golden light. As a result, people speculated that there was a large amount of gold flowing into the river, so every year people would jump into the river to find the source of this golden light, but almost everyone came in high spirits and returned disappointed.
Wuhou Mansion has been very low-key since moving to Jiangnan, at the beginning, there will be many local squires, nobles, and officials to come to visit, but most of them were rejected by the old Marquis Zhao, and then gradually few people came back.
"Old Marquis, this is a letter from Lingshan Academy." A man in a maroon military uniform walked in from outside and placed a letter on Old Marquis Zhao's desk.
Old Marquis Zhao glanced at it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Ling'er, this girl, she still has some conscience, and she finally remembered to send me a letter." ”
As he spoke, Old Marquis Zhao put down the pen in his hand, picked up the envelope and tore it open, took out the letter from it and opened it to take a look, and then his brows were twisted together, and the letter paper was crumpled into a ball by Old Marquis Zhao.
"Old Marquis, but has something happened to Miss Sun?" The man in the maroon uniform asked.
Old Marquis Zhao sighed deeply, leaned back in the back chair gloomily, and said, "Cheng Mu, it is estimated that I can't hide the events of the year for a long time, I, I owe Yuelan too much." At that time, the foundation of the Murong Dynasty was still unstable, there was Lao Ning Wang restless, Shuxi and Southern Xinjiang had always been eager to become independent, and there was Jin Guo eyeing him outside, and I was forced to suppress the cause of Yuelan's death back then. I am an incompetent grandfather and father, my two daughters and two granddaughters are not saved, although Run'er is alive and well now, but she has suffered all these years I can imagine it. ”
"Old marquis, you must take care. Did Miss Sun say something this time? Cheng Mu asked worriedly.
Old Marquis Zhao pushed the letter forward and said, "Ling'er said that the lawsuit Si Nan brought back a person from the death row of Kaifeng Mansion in the capital, and that person was the person who was next to Yuelan before. Moreover, Elder Li of the medical school found Shu Xi's Gu poison on this woman, so they suspected that Shu Xi was involved in the matter back then. ”
Cheng Mu looked at the letter, put it down, and said, "I remember that last time, the dean also wrote to ask if Miss Yuelanbiao's death was related to the Du Mansion back then, and it seems that they have found more and more. ”
"Alas, I shouldn't have let Ling'er go to Lingshan Academy, she and Run'er have had a good relationship with Yuelan since childhood. Although I am pressed by Yuelan's death, how can the two of them not investigate once they get together? In addition, Si Nan is very protective of his calves, and since Yuelan entered his door, he has treated Yuelan like his own child. I don't believe that these three people get together and don't make something come out. It's too late to regret it now. Old Marquis Zhao pinched his temples with a headache and said.
Cheng Mu thought for a while and said, "Old Marquis, then what should we do?" Need me a trip to Lingshan Academy? ”
"No, you go and get ready now, I'll go myself. I can't help Yuelan anymore, and since the truth is slowly coming out, I'll go with the flow. I don't know if Yuelan will forgive my grandfather when I get down there in the future. Old Marquis Zhao closed his eyes sadly, and there were faint tears flashing in the corners of his eyes.
Cheng Mu arched his hand, lowered his head and said, "My subordinates take orders." Then he turned and left.
Old Marquis Zhao took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, there was a fine light, looked at the sky outside, and got up and walked towards Rongtai Courtyard.
"Old man, are you coming here at this time?" The old lady was sitting on the couch and twisting the Buddha beads, and when she saw the old marquis Zhao who came in, she asked strangely.
Old Marquis Zhao coughed lightly and said, "I'm going to Lingshan Academy now, and I don't think I'll be able to come back today." ”
"Lingshan Academy? Did Ling'er or Run'er have an accident? The old lady asked nervously.
Old Marquis Zhao thought for a while and said, "Ling'er sent a letter saying that the maid beside Yuelan had been found, and I wanted to go over and have a look." ”
"What! Is it possible to find the murderer who killed Yuelan back then? The old lady asked excitedly.
Old Marquis Zhao patted the old lady's shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, sooner or later, this matter will come to light." ”
"You're always saying that! How many years has this sentence lied to me! I should have gone with those two back then! Do you still refuse to say what happened back then, if you really don't know at all, why are we here, why do you want to ban the whole house? Don't think I'm really fooled, if it weren't for Run'er's girl, I would be over with you! The old lady got up and said angrily.
Old Marquis Zhao gently patted the old lady's back and patiently explained: "This is not a clue, so I went over to ask." I also want to avenge Yuelan, not only Yuelan's granddaughter, but also our two daughters, I want to avenge them.
However, the relations between the DPRK and China are complicated, the western part of Shu and southern Xinjiang are restless, and there is not a day when the Jin country does not peep into our territory. Not only am I my grandfather and father, but I also can't live up to the emperor's trust and trust.
Don't worry, I'll tell you what I found when I come back from Lingshan Academy this time. ”
The old lady snorted coldly and said, "This is what you said, if you come back this time and still hide anything from me, I won't live with you, an old man!" ”
"Okay, I'll tell you everything this time. You can wait for me to come back in peace. Old Marquis Zhao nodded again and again and said.
The old lady thought for a moment and said, "It's early today."
Go to the small kitchen and make the pastries that the two girls loved to eat when they were young, you can pack them together and take them away. I don't know if the two of them have a good time in Lingshan Academy, and whether they have endured hardships. ”
The old lady was about to start wiping her tears as she spoke, and when the old marquis Zhao saw this, he immediately said to Mama Qin who was standing on the side: "Mama Qin, you hurry up and pack the pastry and bring it, and I will bring it to the two girls when I get to the academy." ”
"Yes, yes, you especially have to take a good look at Run'er, since we left Beijing and came to Jiangnan, I haven't seen Run'er again. Her hard-working mother is now gone, and she is a child without a mother, and she must have suffered a lot alone in Nashang Mansion. I asked you to bring her, but you just didn't want to. The old lady choked up.
Old Marquis Zhao lowered his voice and said, "Didn't Run'er write you a lot of letters during this time, I believe she will come to Jiangnan as soon as she is free." And when Ling'er left, I told Ling'er to take good care of Run'er. The two of them grew up together and will definitely take care of each other, don't worry. You just have to take care of it, just wait for Run'er to come to see you. ”
"Of course I have to be good, when Run'er comes, I will tell her how this old man of yours has bullied my wife all these years, and detain me here, I can't go back to the capital to see her for a day." The old lady sat up straight and chattered at the old marquis.
Old Marquis Zhao nodded again and again, and said, "Okay, okay." You can say whatever you want. ”
At this time, Mama Qin walked in with a food box and said, "Old Marquis, everything is in it." Cheng Mu was already waiting outside, saying that the carriage had been prepared. ”
"Okay, old woman, I'll be back in a few days as soon as I can, and I'll be back in a few days as soon as I can. You can stay in the house in peace and don't think too much. Old Marquis Zhao instructed again before leaving.
The old lady urged impatiently: "Let's go, let's go, don't worry about me." I'll come back after I understand the matter. ”
Seeing that the old lady no longer wiped her tears, Old Marquis Zhao smiled reassuringly, and then left with the food box.
Two hours later, the sky was dark, and Old Marquis Zhao's carriage stopped steadily outside Lingshan Academy.
After driving the carriage in front, Cheng Mu jumped out of the carriage and said to the carriage: "Old Marquis, we have arrived." ”
"Well, I haven't been here for a while, and this Lingshan Academy really hasn't changed at all." Old Marquis Zhao opened the door of the carriage, looked at it and said.
"Hahaha, I haven't seen the old marquis for many years." At this time, a deep voice came from inside the Lingshan Academy, and then a white figure appeared in front of the carriage.
Old Marquis Zhao looked at it fixedly, and said with a smile: "It seems that Brother Shangguan's ability has not diminished back then, and he knew that I was here so soon." ”
"Haha, let's have a cup of tea first, I should be tired after rushing this way." Shangguan Si Nan said and made a gesture of please.
Old Marquis Zhao waved his hand, pointed to the food box in his hand, and said, "I have to wait for the tea, this is what the old woman specially asked me to bring to Ling'er and Run'er." I'll have to send them first. ”
"Well, this, I'm afraid Run'er won't be able to eat it for the time being." Shangguan Si Nan said with a frown.
Old Marquis Zhao stopped and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with Run'er?" Not here? ”
"No, it's just that she's really stubborn. A few days ago, I returned to the capital, and in order to pull down the Jin Mansion, I did not hesitate to seriously injure myself. If we hadn't done it in time, I'm afraid we would have left the root of the disease. Shangguan Sinan said helplessly.
Old Marquis Zhao's hands tightened, and he asked suspiciously, "Why is she suddenly going to pull down the trouble of the Jin Mansion?" ”
"Why should the old marquis pretend not to know? Run'er is now healing in the princess's courtyard, let's go to the courtyard of the earth first. Shangguan Si Nan said with some displeasure.
Old Marquis Zhao nodded awkwardly and said, "Okay, okay." ”
"Yuelan respected your grandfather the most, and you also worked her to achieve her name as the living little Zhuge . I don't care how much hardship you had back then, I just ask you, are you still unwilling to avenge Yuelan now? If you don't want to, I, the master, will also avenge her! It's not that our Lingshan Academy doesn't lack that strength. Shangguan Si Nan stopped and looked at the old marquis and said.
Old Marquis Zhao patted the shoulder of the lawsuit and said: "No, it is impossible to always forbear, there must always be a time to fight back, and when the time comes, there will be revenge and revenge." ”
"I'm relieved to have your words." Shangguan Sinan turned around with satisfaction and continued to walk forward.
A cup of tea passed, and the two came to the center of the earth.
"Grandfather, why did you come here so soon? Do you know Run'er is injured? Zhao Ling'er saw Old Marquis Zhao come in, stood up, and asked timidly.
Old Marquis Zhao glanced at Yurun lying on the bed, glared at Zhao Ling'er, and said, "How did you write the letter?" Just wrote about the person who was brought, and didn't tell me that Run'er was seriously injured. She's being bullied outside, and you should tell us. ”
Zhao Ling'er lowered her head and pouted, "I'm not afraid that you will worry." Besides, what's the use of telling you, didn't you do anything about Cousin Yuelan back then. ”
"You! You're so bold out there that you dare to defy your grandfather, aren't you? Of course, there was a hidden secret that was forced to be put back then, what do you children know! In the future, you two will have to write back if anything happens outside, didn't I still let Wei Dong follow? Where is he? Old Marquis Zhao snorted coldly.
