Before lunch, Fang Ru returned to Zhao's mansion, while Zhao Junchen had been sitting at the dining table waiting for her for a long time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Fang Ru was on the occasion of the newlywed Yan'er, naturally wrapped in red makeup, reflecting the snow skin cream, and adding a bit of charm and brightness, rich and graceful, coupled with her shrewd and capable and slightly strong temperament, it was like a sonorous rose blooming.

After seeing Zhao Junchen, Fang Ru walked to Zhao Junchen's side with a smile and called, "Ru'er is late, Xianggong has been waiting for a long time, right?"

Zhao Junchen glanced at Fang Ru seriously, then nodded and said, "The food is almost cold, sit down and eat together." ”

Fang Ru nodded lightly, sat down next to Zhao Junchen, and after the next person brought water to rinse his mouth and wash his face, he planned to eat with Zhao Junchen.

While eating, Zhao Junchen asked Fang Ru: "I heard that you not only lost your temper this morning, but also secretly cried once?" ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, Fang Ru's bright eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't admit it, just gritted his silver teeth and said, "Which subordinate is chewing the root of his tongue?" Ru'er was indeed a little unhappy after hearing about the morning up, but she never cried! ”

Fang Ru felt that she had caused trouble to Zhao Junchen this time, so she didn't want Zhao Junchen to be distracted and worry about herself! In front of Zhao Junchen, she will always show her shrewd and capable side, and do her best to share Zhao Junchen's worries, but she will hide all her weak and helpless side in the depths of her heart, and just bear it alone.

Regarding Fang Ru's careful thoughts, Zhao Junchen was naturally insightful, but he did not debunk it, but just took the opportunity to open the topic, and said slowly: "That young master Guo Tang is indeed too much, and I will never let him go easily, but if you want to be angry with your own hands, I will not stop you, just pay attention to proportion, and don't let the affairs of Tongji Temple be exposed." ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Fang Ru first nodded in agreement, and then a trace of coldness flashed in his apricot eyes, and he said hatefully: "No matter what Guo Tang says about Ru'er, it's just that he embarrassed Xianggong in public in the early dynasty, so I naturally won't let him go easily!" ”

Obviously, compared to being humiliated, Fang Ru cared more about Zhao Junchen's feelings.

A hint of warmth flashed in Zhao Junchen's eyes, and he said with a smile: "With a waste like Guo Tang, where can you embarrass me?" This morning, Guo Tang failed to impeach me, but was fined for a year, and His Majesty also ordered him to apologize to me within today, insisting that he was the one who was embarrassed, so you don't have to have a pimple in your heart! …… What's more, you're worth it, and even if it costs me, I won't regret it. ”

When Zhao Junchen spoke, his tone was flat, but Fang Ru's eyes were slightly red, but she didn't say anything in the end, just silently sandwiched a piece of Zhao Junchen's favorite roe deer meat into Zhao Junchen's bowl.

Many times, the thoughts are too complicated, the words are always weak, and silence is better than sound.

At this moment, Xu Qingyan suddenly walked into the guest hall, with a faint excitement on his face.

As soon as he stepped into the room, Xu Qingyan said happily: "Young master, that Guo Tang is here, it should be at the behest of His Majesty, and he specially came to the mansion to apologize for the young master's visit!" ”

Hearing Xu Qingyan's report, Zhao Junchen was stunned at first.

He originally thought that Guo Tang must have delayed until the evening before coming to the Zhao Mansion to apologize to him, but he didn't expect Guo Tang to come over at noon.

But after thinking about it, Zhao Junchen also understood what Guo Tang meant.

Zhao Mansion is located in the west of the capital, surrounded by most of the mansions of court officials, if Guo Tang comes to Zhao Mansion in the evening to apologize, then most of the court officials have just finished their office, just have leisure time to watch the excitement, so Guo Tang apologized to Zhao Junchen in the eyes of hundreds of officials, it will inevitably make people laugh, but at noon, because the climate is getting hotter, most of the officials in the DPRK and China are taking a nap to rest, Guo Tang will not be seen by too many people when he comes to apologize, and he can save a little face.

Thinking about Guo Tang's little abacus, Zhao Junchen smiled lightly and said: "This Guo Tang, there is no great wisdom, but the small abacus is shrewd......"

"Sir, do you want to see him?" Fang Ruliu frowned slightly, and asked tentatively.

Zhao Junchen said: "Of course I want to see you!" After all, this is His Majesty's will, and I can't disobey it at will...... However, I won't go to see him right away, so let's dry him first! ”

After speaking, Zhao Junchen raised his head and said to Xu Qingyan: "You just let him wait outside the mansion, try to delay the time, if you really can't delay, come to me again!" Also, Guo Tang doesn't want others to see him apologize to me, but I don't want him to get his wish, you send a few people out the back door and invite Zuo Ge Lao and Chen Shangshu to come! ”

Xu Qingyan had more bad intentions than Zhao Junchen, and after hearing Zhao Junchen's instructions, he immediately understood what Zhao Junchen meant, his expression became more and more excited, and he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go!" ”

After speaking, Xu Qingyan left happily.

At the same time, Zhao Junchen picked up chopsticks and leisurely picked up a green vegetable and put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and then said to Fang Ru with a smile: "Let's eat slowly, don't worry." ”

On the other side, Fang Ru also understood what Zhao Junchen meant, knowing that Zhao Junchen planned to hang Guo Tang like this, he couldn't help but smile, and the resentment in his heart was slightly soothed, and after nodding his head and agreeing, he slowly ate with Zhao Junchen.

*

At the same time, outside the Zhao Mansion, Guo Tang was in an anxious mood, only feeling that time was difficult, and from time to time he would secretly look at the surrounding environment, for fear that someone would see the scene where he came to apologize to Zhao Junchen.

As Zhao Junchen guessed in his heart, Guo Tangxuan apologized to Zhao Junchen at this time, because there were fewer pedestrians around at this time, which could make him lose some face.

Guo Tang has always regarded himself as the leader of the clear stream, and he despises corrupt officials like Zhao Junchen the most, but now because of the will of Emperor Deqing, Guo Tang must apologize to Zhao Junchen, which is a great shame for Guo Tang.

It's a pity that although Guo Tang prides himself on being high, his bones are not hard, and he does not have the courage to disobey Emperor Deqing's holy decree, so he still came.

Originally, Guo Tang had already made up his mind, as long as he saw Zhao Junchen, he would say a word or two of insincere words with a straight face, maybe he could take the opportunity to mock Zhao Junchen a few words, and then even if this matter was dealt with, no matter whether Zhao Junchen was satisfied with his apology or not, anyway, he acted according to Emperor Deqing's will, and no one could find fault.

At this time, Guo Tang only hoped that Zhao Junchen would come forward to accept his "apology" as soon as possible, and then this nightmare would be over.

It's a pity that the development of this matter is not as Guo Tang imagined, and Zhao Junchen does not mean to play cards according to the rules.

After expressing his intention to the concierge of Zhao Mansion, Guo Tang had been waiting for a pillar of incense outside the gate of Zhao Mansion, but he didn't see Zhao Junchen come to greet him in person, and he didn't see anyone in Zhao Mansion leading him into the door, so he let him stand outside the door of Zhao Mansion and wait, Guo Tang felt that he was humiliated, and he became more and more impetuous.

Just when Guo Tang's patience was about to reach its limit, a Zhao Mansion steward finally showed up.

I saw that after the Zhao Mansion steward saw Guo Tang, his expression was full of disdain, and he pointed at Guo Tang's nose and scolded: "Where did you come from? How dare you come to my Zhao Mansion to deceive? Don't inquire, my lord is a second-class member of the court, the head of the imperial court, don't you know the names of several Jiuqing in the court? My lord said that there is no Taifu named Guo Yuan in the imperial court at all! ”

After Guo Tang heard the scolding of the Zhao Mansion steward, his mind was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to react!

For a while, Guo Tang only felt extremely ashamed, and he didn't care that this was the Zhao Mansion, so he directly pointed at the nose of the Zhao Mansion steward and scolded back: "The erector is bold!" Who do you say is a liar!? The old man is the young master of the dynasty! It's not too much! The old man's name is Guo Tang! It's not called Guo Yuan! Have you reported the origin of the old man to Zhao Junchen clearly? What the old man just said is clear, are your ears all decorations? ”

Hearing Guo Tang's scolding, the steward of the Zhao Mansion was also stunned, his face was full of incredulity, and he asked, "Are you Young Master Guo Tang?" Isn't it Taifu Guoyuan? ”

Guo Tang took a few breaths, and after a long time, he calmed down, decided not to meet these Zhao Mansion subordinates, and also put up his shelf again, and said proudly: "This official is Guo Tang, the young master of the current dynasty, and today I met with your master at the behest of His Majesty!" Why don't you hurry up and report back to your lord! ”

After listening to Guo Tang's explanation, the steward of the Zhao Mansion first glared at the concierge of the Zhao Mansion fiercely, and reprimanded loudly: "This lord is obviously the young master of the current dynasty, Guo Tang and Lord Guo!" How can you tell me that it is Taifu Guo Yuan! made such a joke, see how the old man punishes you afterwards! ”

The porter was also full of panic, and hurriedly said: "Zhao Shun is in charge, this matter is indeed the villain's fault, it's not already noon, the villain hasn't eaten yet, he just feels hungry, and the villain has always liked to eat glutinous rice balls, just now when the adult revealed his identity, the villain was thinking about cooking a pot of glutinous rice balls to eat after going back, but this Guo Tang, Guo Yuan, and Guo Tangyuan were confused......"

Guo Tang, Guo Yuan, Guo Tangyuan......

Guo Tang, who had calmed down just now, suddenly exploded again after hearing the porter's explanation.

It's just that before Guo Tang got angry, the steward of Zhao Mansion had already kicked the doorman of Zhao Mansion, and then said to Guo Tang with a smiling face: "Young Master Guo, you are angry, the people are rude and ignorant, my lord will definitely punish them severely in the future, and I will go to report to the lord again." ”

After saying that, the steward of the Zhao Mansion turned around and left in a hurry.

Guo Tang is not a stupid person, and after thinking back to the scene just now, he knew that Zhao Junchen was deliberately drying himself.

For a while, Guo Tang's mood became more and more ashamed, but it was the holy decree of Emperor Deqing to apologize, Guo Tang did not dare to leave, after hesitating for a moment, Guo Tang simply returned to his sedan chair and sat down, so that not only could he rest a little, but he was not afraid of being seen, and he did not have to stand outside the door of Zhao's mansion and wait, so that passers-by could point fingers.

It's just that it's already mid-June, and the weather in the capital is getting hotter, and the air in the sedan chair can't be circulated, so it's going to be even hotter.

Therefore, after sitting in the sedan chair for a while, Guo Tang became more and more impatient, but the Zhao Mansion still did not see any movement.

After another pillar of incense, just when Guo Tang's patience was about to be exhausted, the Zhao Mansion finally had a movement, and it was still a big movement.

I saw more than a dozen servants of the Zhao Mansion hurrying to the gate of the Zhao Mansion, and they all began to get busy - several servants of the Zhao Mansion rolled out the red carpet outside the gate of the Zhao Mansion, and several servants of the Zhao Mansion brought incense cases, and several servants of the Zhao Mansion prepared firecrackers and gongs and drums......

Red carpet, incense case, gongs and drums, firecrackers...... What is Zhao Fu preparing these things for? Is it to greet yourself? When did you have such a big face?

Guo Tang's heart was a little uneasy, and he hurriedly got out of the sedan chair, came to the Zhao Mansion steward just now, and asked, "What are you doing here?" Why didn't Zhao Junchen come to see me? What are you doing preparing these red carpet incense cases? ”

Hearing Guo Tang's inquiry, the steward of the Zhao Mansion was also stunned, and asked rhetorically: "Young Master Guo, you met our master at the behest of His Majesty, then you are the angel who conveys the holy decree!" We are waiting to lay out the red carpet, set up incense tables, and arrange gongs, drums and firecrackers, which is also the proper etiquette to welcome angels. ”

Hearing the explanation of the steward of the Zhao Mansion, Guo Tang's face immediately changed, knowing that this matter was probably going to be troublesome!

Just now, Guo Tang was unwilling to show his cowardice in front of the people of Zhao Mansion, and deliberately vaguely said that he was ordered to apologize to Zhao Junchen, but only that he came to meet Zhao Junchen by order! Although it can't be said to be a lie, this kind of expression does cause misunderstanding, and people will mistakenly think that Guo Tang is an angel who came to Zhao's mansion to convey the holy decree.

And Zhao Junchen deliberately misunderstood Guo Tang's meaning, and regarded Guo Tang as an angel who conveyed the holy will.

In this case, the matter will be a little embarrassing, once the matter spreads, Guo Tang may be charged with a "false holy decree"! Guo Tang can't afford such a crime!

On the other side, the steward of the Zhao Mansion did not notice the change in Guo Tang's expression at all, and said to himself: "After my lord heard about this matter, he naturally attached great importance to it, and now he is bathing and changing clothes, and when he is ready here, he will lead the people of the Zhao Mansion to welcome the angel together." ”

Hearing this, Guo Tang's head was sweating, he no longer saw the arrogance just now, and he didn't care about protecting his face, so he hurriedly explained: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, this official is not here to convey the holy decree...... Yes, I came to apologize to your lord! ”

"Oh? Young Master Guo came to apologize to Lord Zhao so soon? ”

As Guo Tang's words fell, a voice suddenly came from behind Guo Tang.

Hearing this familiar voice, Guo Tang's body stiffened slightly, and then he turned around to look, only to find that Zuo Lanshan, the old cabinet minister, was standing not far away, looking at him with a smile.

Behind Zuo Lanshan, there were also Chen Dongxiang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Huo Zhengyuan, a university scholar, Zhan Shanchang, a waiter of the household department, and others, and most of the officials of the "Zhao Party" came here.

In this way, after Guo Tang waited outside the gate of Zhao's mansion for more than half an hour, everyone in the "Zhao Party" finally arrived one after another, and Guo Tang's wishful thinking of "apologizing" to Zhao Junchen while there was no one failed.

This apology is destined to be watched by onlookers! Guo Tang's face is also destined to not be preserved!

But Guo Tang didn't know that while he was standing outside the Zhao Mansion and suffering, Zhao Junchen's revenge against him had already begun!
