Chapter 538: Apologies
Lan Ziyi stood alone in the Taicheng Wei Yamen, staring at the bronze statue of Yue Wumu with big eyes. It is not accurate to say that Lan Ziyi is alone, because there are many eunuchs who come and go. But so many people passed by, but no one dared to talk to Lan Ziyi, everyone pretended not to see Lan Ziyi, and hurriedly went around and hurried around.
It seems that Lan Ziyi did anger Father-in-law Yu last time.
After the team dispersed from the street, he went to the east gate of the imperial city, Taichengwei Yamen, to visit Yu Gonggong, but was rejected by Taicheng Wei twice in a row, because Yu Gonggong was still participating in the celebration ceremony and had no time to meet Lan Ziyi. It wasn't until the evening when Lan Ziyi crossed the imperial bridge for the third time that Taichengwei put him in the palace, and even then Lan Ziyi didn't see Father-in-law Yu immediately, he had been waiting at the yamen for another half an hour.
No one greeted Lan Ziyi, and Lan Ziyi was not in a hurry to urge Father-in-law Yu. Since Father-in-law Yu let Lan Ziyi in, it means that Father-in-law Yu plans to see him, and now Father-in-law Yu is hanging him to show that Father-in-law Yu is angry. Since the anger of the fish father-in-law has not subsided, then Lan Ziyi is not in a hurry to see him, and it is a good thing to let the fish father-in-law be angry for a while now, or Lan Ziyi will bear the anger that the fish father-in-law has held back for a long time, which is much more uncomfortable than standing now. Therefore, Lan Ziyi stood at the gate of the yamen very leisurely.
Just when Lan Ziyi was looking at the bronze statue and thinking nonsense, a little eunuch hurriedly came to Lan Ziyi with his head down, and he whispered to Lan Ziyi with a bowl of water:
"Master Hou, you've been standing for so long, drink saliva."
Lan Ziyi looked down and saw that it was a little eunuch who had been rewarded by himself before, it seemed that Lan Ziyi was still useful every time he sprinkled a lot of silver, at least now someone dared to come over and bring him water.
Lan Ziyi took the water bowl and thanked him, but the little eunuch kept saying:
"Master Hou, it's not that the slaves don't want to show you a seat, it's just that no one dares to disobey Dad's temper, and you know this Wei Hou. I still came secretly to send a bowl of water to Wei Hou. ”
Lan Ziyi thanked him again when he heard this, and then Lan Ziyi asked:
"Dare to ask my father-in-law, can the fire of my father-in-law be extinguished a little now?"
The little father-in-law was about to speak when he heard this, but a much older eunuch came out of the inner office to deliver a message to Lan Ziyi. The little eunuch hurriedly waved at the visitor and then trotted away, while Lan Ziyi arched his hand and said to the visitor:
"Father-in-law."
The eunuch watched the little eunuch leave, snorted coldly, and then put on a smiling face and said to Lan Ziyi:
"Wei Hou, Daddy is invited."
Lan Ziyi nodded, and followed his father-in-law into the back office. After entering the room where Yu Gonggong entertained Lan Ziyi, Lan Ziyi saw that Yu Gonggong had changed into a gentleman and sat on the chair facing the door, Yueshan was accompanying Yu Gonggong, and at the same time that Lan Ziyi entered the door, several other ladies who were slightly inferior to Yue'er came to Yu Gonggong with a copper basin kettle and put it down. After a lady poured hot water into the copper basin, Yue'er bent down and planned to serve Father-in-law Yu to wash his feet, but was rejected by Father-in-law Yu, who said fairly:
"You don't have to do that kind of thing."
Yue'er said coquettishly when she heard this:
"But Dad, it's usually ......"
Father-in-law Yu didn't wait for Yu'er to finish speaking, and then interrupted her sharply:
"As I said, you don't have to do this."
Hearing this, Yue'er lowered her head and quietly stood beside Father-in-law Yu, leaving a few ladies to serve Father-in-law Yu, while not forgetting to raise her head and roll her eyes at Lan Ziyi.
Seeing Lan Ziyi's entry, Father-in-law Yu snorted and said:
"Sit!"
But Lan Ziyi didn't listen to Father-in-law Yu's request to sit down, but fell to the ground with an ordinary sound, Lan Ziyi kowtowed and said loudly:
"Father-in-law, Ziyi has eyes but no beads, he doesn't know what to do, the dog bites Lu Dongbin, it hurts his father-in-law's heart, Ziyi is wrong, Ziyi knows his mistakes, ask his father-in-law for forgiveness!"
Father-in-law Yu obviously didn't expect Lan Ziyi to do this, Lan Ziyi's kowtow was so startled that Yu Gonggong almost jumped up from the chair, but Father-in-law Yu finally stabilized his mood, and he instructed Yueshan, who was standing on the side, to say:
"Go and help the Marquis up."
Lan Ziyi didn't wait for Yue'er to move before he spoke:
"No, I'm not up. My father-in-law won't forgive me today, so I've been kneeling here. ”
The corners of Grandpa Yu's mouth curled slightly when he heard this, but his tone remained unchanged, and he was hanging like that all the time. I only heard the long voice of the fish father-in-law and asked:
"Wrong, what did Wei Hou do wrong? How did I not know? “
Lan Ziyi kowtowed again when he heard this, and replied:
"Ziyi is wrong, Ziyi shouldn't have written to Gonggong Long for help after beating King De that day, and he shouldn't have written a letter and didn't tell Gonggong Yu about you. It is Ziyi's fault, it is Ziyi's first rat at both ends, please forgive my father-in-law. ”
Hearing this, Father-in-law Yu asked again:
"Is this also wrong? Why don't I think? ”
Hearing this, Lan Ziyi lay on the ground and said:
"In the past, Ziyi was ignorant, and when ten people in the capital gave me candy, I thought that people were good to me, but now Ziyi understands, the only one who can rely on in the capital is my father-in-law, and only my father-in-law will be a person!"
As soon as Lan Ziyi's words came out, Father-in-law Yu couldn't hold back any longer, only to see Father-in-law Yu wave his hand and slap the table hard, pointing at Lan Ziyi and shouting:
"I've always treated you as my own, and you only know now!"
When Lan Ziyi heard this, his body naturally lay lower, and Father-in-law Yu beckoned Yue'er to the side and said:
"Hurry up and help Wei Hou up, what does a Hou Ye throw to the ground for me, what does this eunuch kneel on?"
Lan Ziyi heard this:
"If my father-in-law doesn't forgive me, I'll ......"
Fair Fish:
"I know, I know, I don't take this matter to heart, Ziyi, don't make a big fuss."
When Lan Ziyi heard this, he got up and asked Yueshan to help him up, while Yu Gonggong continued:
"Actually, Ziyi, I can understand what you did at that time, I was not in the capital in the army, and the only one who could deduct the cabinet chapter was the celebrant supervisor, and it was not wrong for you to do that, Wei Hou."
Lan Ziyi got up and sat down on a chair on one side, and replied:
"My father-in-law is so generous, but Ziyi is riding on the wall and watching, which is really despicable."
Hearing this, Father-in-law Yu raised his hand and said:
"Okay, no need to apologize, this time understand who you are, who you can lean on, just don't do it again in the future. I'm not a small-bellied person. ”
Lan Ziyi thanked him when he heard this:
"Thank you, father-in-law."
Father-in-law Yu turned his face to look at Lan Ziyi and asked:
"I heard that you had an unpleasant quarrel with the three boys of the Tao family a few days ago, and you want to drive the father and son of the Qiu family away, is there such a thing?"
Lan Ziyi replied:
"It is true."
Fair Fish:
"Why is it that after only a few days, your head has turned around and your temperament has changed drastically? Even when they come to me, they say kneel and kneel, where can I afford this. ”
Lan Ziyi smiled:
"It is natural for me to worship my father-in-law......"
Father-in-law Yu interrupted Lan Ziyi with a smile:
"Don't play tricks on me, you look like you've been reborn, haven't you taken a miracle medicine?"
Lan Ziyi said:
"Ziyi didn't take the magic medicine, but Ziyi, an immortal outside the square, saw one."
Fair Fish:
"Didn't you cross the river on the fifth day of the first month to meet the immortals?"
Lan Ziyi smiled:
"My father-in-law's ears and eyes are keen, and Ziyi can't hide it from my father-in-law wherever he goes. Yes, I went to Jiangbei Mountain to visit the Zen master that day. “
A trace of surprise flickered in Gonggong Yu's eyes when he heard this, and he asked:
"Ziyi has seen Bliss?"
Lan Ziyi nodded and admitted the matter. Seeing this, Father-in-law Yu sighed:
"I have been up to the mountain three times, and the first time I saw a stone tablet on the top of the mountain, 'the bitter sea is endless, and the back is the shore', the other two times I can't even find the stone tablet, Ziyi, you still have a Taoist person."
Lan Ziyi smiled:
"My father-in-law has won the prize."
Fair Fish:
"I've seen a very good Zen master, no wonder Wei Hou has changed so much. Back then, your father also enlightened himself after seeing Bliss.
Now that you have seen Bliss, has Bliss told you how to deal with your current relationship with King De? “
Hearing this, Lan Ziyi got up and walked into Father-in-law Yu, and then said:
"These mundane things are not enough to bother the Zen master, Ziyi can handle it himself."
Yu Gonggong smiled:
"Then tell me what you're going to do with it."
Hearing this, Lan Ziyi looked back at the Taicheng guard who was guarding the door, and then looked at the lady who was kneeling on the ground to wash the feet of Father-in-law Yu, and then said:
"Father-in-law, it's inconvenient for someone to speak."
Hearing this, Father-in-law Yu waved his hand and said:
"All of them here are my henchmen, nothing inconvenient, Ziyi but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Lan Ziyi nodded when he heard this, then leaned close to Father-in-law's ear and gently spit out a few words
"I'm going to talk to the prince."
