Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Tenkyo Chapter 37 Guojo
Wan Kefa sat in the study, holding a small note in his hand, the size of which should have been taken from the pigeon that had just flown out of the study. Wan Kefa unfolded the note, just a few dozen words, but he read it for a long time. His brows furrowed and he let go, and finally tore the small note into pieces and threw it into the bamboo basket he was holding calligraphy and paintings. He stood up, and the painting on the table revealed the whole picture, it turned out to be a white crane flying on the river, some aura, but the white crane's brushwork was stagnant, and it was obvious that when he painted it, he was thinking about something else.
Wan Kefa went out of the study, except for himself, no one in the house could enter his study, even if he packed up his things, he had to wait for Wan Kefa to be inside. Wan Kefa treats his subordinates kindly, and the only time he kicks out a maid who has just arrived is because the maid doesn't understand the rules, so she enters Wan Kefa's study without permission and cleans up the messy bookcase.
"Sir." The old servant outside the door came up to salute.
"There will be people in the palace today, you tell you to go down, and you should dress smartly." WAGO's French tone is as bland as possible.
"Master, isn't it ......" The old servant probably knew what the quarrel between the young lady and Wan Kefa was these days, and at this time, listening to Wan Kefa say this, he had a rough idea in his heart.
Wan Kefa nodded and said, "You go and tell Miss that I owe her, and I don't blame her if she doesn't recognize me in the future." ”
These days, Wan Kefa and Wan Rongrong really haven't talked anymore, Wan Rongrong deliberately hid in the room and didn't see Wan Kefa, Wan Kefa had an old face, and he didn't want to put down his son to talk about it well, but Wan Kefa's wife Deng was sandwiched between the father and daughter, and she didn't know what to do.
"Master, you can go and talk to Miss again." The old servant has been following Wan Kefa for decades, and he has long been a member of the Wanjia family, and he feels uncomfortable when he sees his young lady and the old man.
The two of them went out of the study, and in the courtyard, Wan Kefa listened to the old servant's words, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "I still don't go, there is less love between father and daughter, and there will be less drag in the future." "The old servant doesn't understand, after all, the master is a book, why bother who drags down whom.
When Wan Kefa entered the house, he also needed to change into neat clothes, and just then he received news that the chamberlain who read the edict was already on his way, and he would arrive soon. Wan Kefa entered the house, and the old servants informed them one by one among the subordinates, there are not many servants in the Wan family, and it is good to clean up, and when Wan Kefa went out of the room again, the busy subordinates in front of him had already changed their clothes.
The old servant had just spoken to Wan Rongrong outside the wing, and the Deng family also heard this in Wan Rongrong's house, and probably understood something, hugging Wan Rongrong's shoulder and crying, Wan Rongrong was calm and quietly patted her mother's back. Wan Rongrong said that she wanted to freshen up and dress up, Deng Shi left the wing, her eyes were red, and she walked to the front hall, only to see that Wan Kefa had already sat down, with a cup of tea in his hand, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"You just sold your daughter." Deng Shi said as if angry, she has been married to Wan Kefa for so many years, and this is the first time she has turned her face with Wan Kefa in front of her subordinates.
Wan Kefa was like a wooden man, hearing this, he didn't react at all, still holding the teacup steadily, Deng Shi saw it, stomped his feet, sat next to Wan Kefa, and waited quietly.
About a cup of tea, there was the sound of gongs and drums in the distance, accompanied by the cheers of the crowd, these days I have not heard of any family around the wedding and funeral, presumably this is the waiter who came to read the edict. The sound of gongs and drums was near, and Wan Kefa got up and ordered his subordinates to open the main door and go out to greet him.
Not far away, a group of guards surrounded a figure dressed in blue-gray clothes, and the team of gongs and drums followed behind the guards, while the crowd of people watching the excitement followed the tails of the gongs and drums.
The man approached, saw Deng and Wan Kefa who had gone out to greet them, walked a few steps in front of them, and unfolded the edict in his hand. His face was solemn, he straightened his waist, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "The original criminal department is still in the book, and Wankefa will accept the order." ”
"The law is all right." Wan Kefa took Deng to kneel, and the people behind him also knelt.
"I am only virtuous and yellow clothes, Wang Hua must be in the palace. Fang Liutong history, the mother ritual is used in the family state. Bingling Fan is in the right position with the name of Cheng Yu and Xi Hong. The daughter of the Shiwan clan is the daughter of the Shangshu Wan Gong Kefa of the First Criminal Department. Tie out Gao Hong, auspicious bell Qili, mercy mantis, bow and balance the virtue. I obey the mandate of heaven, order to be the treasure, set up as the queen, only inherit the destiny of the scene, bow well, turn into a quilt, and benefit the heir of Huiyin. Rong Zhaoxi, the sui of eternal prosperity. Greatly. ”
Hearing that the eunuch finished reading, Wan Kefa bowed down and bowed, and said in his mouth: "Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live." ”
After the eunuch finished reading the edict, his solemn expression disappeared, and he stepped forward. He handed the edict in his hand to the old servant who was waiting on the side, stretched out his hand to help Wan Kefa up, and said, "Lord Wan, please get up quickly." ”
Wan Kefa didn't have any experience in dealing with eunuchs, but he knew that most eunuchs love money, so he ordered the old servant to prepare a red envelope with a silver ticket early in the morning, and handed the red envelope to him at this moment, saying: "I don't know my father-in-law's name yet, but I just ran this trip, I was tired, some money, not a tribute, please accept it." ”
The eunuch put the red envelope into his sleeve, smiled on his face, and said, "Lord Wan is really polite, but it's just running errands, how embarrassed I am." When the people around him saw him take the red envelope and talk like this, they all felt a chill, and the eunuch spoke again: "I am working under Gonggong Lu, the name Sun Qianying, Lord Wan has been in good health recently?" ”
Wan Kefa instructed his subordinates to scatter some copper coins for the gong and drum team and the people watching the excitement, and when he heard Sun Qianying's words, he said: "Thanks to the emperor's blessing, Wan has been in good health recently. ”
"Wan Daren is the pillar of the country, and now that he has become the grandfather of the country, he must pay more attention to his body, and he will have to rely on you to support him in the future." This eunuch Sun accepted the red envelope, and his words were polite and nice.
The onlookers around listened to the word Guozhang, looked at the few copper coins in their hands, and were a little unhappy, shouting loudly that the Guozhang was stingy, and so on, hoping to ask for more money.
Suddenly, the voices of the crowd became quieter, and they all looked straight in one direction, and Wan Kefa also looked back, and it turned out that Wan Rongrong had come out in a formal suit. Although it is only a little powder, it does not hide the beauty of pearls and jade, and the end is radiant. She walked up to Eunuch Sun and saluted, "Little girl Wan Rongrong, I've seen my father-in-law." “
Sun Qianying saw Wan Rongrong, her face was red, and she even thought about how to describe this queen in front of Lu Jin, he was stunned, and only said: "Is this the daughter of Wan Rongrong, it is really the color of a sinking fish and a goose." ”
Wan Ke Fa is most proud of Wan Rongrong's teaching, Wan Rong Rong's understanding of the subset of scriptures and history is probably better than most of the scholars in the world, but Sun Qianying came up to praise Wan Rongrong's beauty, but he ignored Wan Rongrong's beautiful temperament, which made Wan Ke Law unhappy, but said: "The little girl can enter the palace, it is the blessing of my family." ”
Sun Qianying listened to Wan Kefa's words, looked at Wan Rongrong's eyes again, and said: "Lord Wan is busy first, I will go back to the palace to report to Father-in-law Lu, I think that Lord Wan will recover soon, and Lord Wan has to be prepared." After saying that, the eunuch Sun saluted, and swaggered away with the Imperial Forest Army.
Wan Kefa knew that the original old eunuch Gao was sensible among the eunuchs, but these days, that Xiao Luzi took over the affairs of the harem with full authority, and the old eunuch Gao didn't know whether he was dead or alive, but these eunuchs under Xiao Luzi were often not as humble and obedient as those under the old eunuch Gao, and they had more meaning of acting for the tiger.
"Eunuch." Wan Kefa said quietly, and even the Deng clan beside him didn't hear what he was saying.
"Master, look at this ......" The old servant looked at the crowd who were still shouting loudly for the old man, and the head of the gong and drum team was still arguing with the old servant.
Wan Rongrong didn't pay attention to it anymore, as if it was none of her business, turned around and entered the door, and the Deng family also followed Wan Rongrong into the door, leaving Wan Kefa alone by the door, and the old slave of the edict had already sent someone into the house. "Give them more, don't let them make a lot of noise."
Wan Kefa was melancholy in his heart, and no longer wanted to care about these things, and turned around and entered the house. It's just that because the yard is not big, he can still hear the shouts of the foreign abbot and the abbot of the door, he only feels noisy, enters the study, picks up the pen and continues to draw the white crane.
