Episode 046: Clever Close Servant
Let's say that Xu Moqing heard the little girl come over to pass the word, and knew that Yan Gui was going to eat in the east chamber at night, which was like a slap in the face, and he never thought that this little wife would be resolute and resolute, and he would never drag things out.
Qiusheng leaned on the threshold and looked out, but saw that the servants in the courtyard were all wandering in the east chamber, and he felt even more helpless, turned his head and spit bitterness to Xu Moqing, and said, "Your Highness, you can see it clearly this time, right?" ”
Xu Moqing didn't get up to look out, didn't pay attention to Qiusheng, held the book in his hand and read, about a quarter of an hour passed, and he didn't turn a page.
Tong Sheng poured a cup of tea for him, and only took a sip, which aroused people again, "Tong Sheng, go to the next room and get me a pot of mung bean soup to relieve the heat." ”
Seeing this, Tong Sheng obeyed the order to fetch it, and Qiusheng walked back to his master and persuaded: "Your Highness, why don't we go out for a walk and go to Guan Ju Pavilion to see Little Lord Ze?" What's the meaning of nesting here, both horizontal and vertical are playing majestic on the east side of the chamber. ”
He put down the virtuous book in his hand and pretended to look around calmly, "It's okay, you go and tell Tong Sheng that you don't drink the mung bean soup!" ”
Xu Moqing walked out of the bedroom, saw Yan Guiwan standing under the corridor of the East Wing, and did not step forward to say a word to her ward, and walked out of the Taoyao Pavilion towards Guan Ju Pavilion.
Jiu Ling had already seen it now, and chased out of the Taoyao Pavilion with Qiusheng Tongsheng, and said with a forked hand: "Your Highness, where are you going to go shopping this time?" Let Xia Guan send two little guys over for you again? ”
Xu Moqing smiled and walked away, while Qiusheng ridiculed Jiu Ling and said, "Lingguan'er, I think my wife didn't let you chase you out, right?" If you come so close to His Highness like this, I'm afraid you'll be scolded by your wife when you go back! ”
Jiu Ling saw Qiu Sheng rolling his eyes at him, that Tong Sheng had already followed Xu Moqing, so he was not to be outdone: "Qiu Guan'er is really careless, look at Tong Guan'er was taught a lesson by her husband, and she no longer dares to cause trouble." The autumn official has never tried this taste, so he has to hit this stall! ”
"You!" Qiusheng was mocked by Jiu Ling.
"Qiu Guan'er is not angry! Do you think the husband is going to sit in the Guan Ju Pavilion? I asked the kitchen to bring some pastries. Jiu Lingqi asked.
Qiu Sheng softened and said, "Sister Ling is really a sharp tooth. The late master of your family is doing things with great fanfare in that Taoyao Pavilion, and our Highness still doesn't avoid coming out, what are you doing under the house? It's not fun to mess with yourself in vain! Lingguan'er doesn't need to guess to know where His Highness is going, so why bother asking questions in one fell swoop. ”
Jiu Ling pulled Qiu Sheng across the eaves, revealing a worried expression, and said: "Brother Qiu, you are an understanding person, Your Royal Highness is a noble person, and the evening lord is still a female monarch, and both of them are reluctant!" Presumably His Highness is also saying some high-sounding words? ”
Qiusheng nodded yes, and Jiu Ling said again: "The evening lord is not the same!" Besides, the late lord is also young, and the arrogance in his heart is strong. Isn't it because of Liu Yifeng that their wives are between them? ”
"Since ancient times, marriage has been the order of parents, and the words of the matchmaker have become relatives and love. Partial to their wives and husbands, this feeling is not right, and there is no such feeling! As everyone knows, fate has long been arranged by God. Qiusheng said from the bottom of his heart.
Jiu Ling cast an approving look at Qiu Sheng, "I just said that Brother Qiu is extraordinary, it is true!" Now their wives are still angry, and they can't do anything in the middle. Naliu Yifeng is also a sure thing to be a concubine, what kind of idea does Brother Qiu have in his heart to reconcile? ”
"I see that the garden in the backyard is really well built, why don't you make an appointment with the two of them and teach them to recite poems and enjoy the moon and eat wine, maybe they can be reconciled as before!" Qiu Sheng proposed.
Jiu Ling was unconfident in his heart, and asked, "Where is this good opportunity?" Tomorrow morning and evening, the lord will go to the palace to be on duty, and she will be gone for three days, and when she comes back, she will officially invite Liu Yifeng in. I'm just afraid that the grudge between the two of them will grow deeper and deeper. ”
Qiusheng slapped his forehead and shouted, "I thought of it." ”
Immediately, he said this to Jiu Ling. Jiu Ling heard that he praised again and again, and the two of them immediately made a plan, one went back to Taoyao Pavilion, and the other went straight to Guan Ju Pavilion to chase after him.
Yan Zeyin was buried in the sorrow of having a quarrel with Mu Qin, and when she saw Xu Moqing coming over, she wanted to tell him the inside story and keep Mu Qin's affairs a secret. In any case, there is still no clarity between Mu Qin and Bai Ziyan, how can he spread some false news at this time. His Royal Highness Jiu is the person Mu Qin respects the most, thinking of this, Yan Zeyin swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
Xu Moqing was naturally in Cao Ying's heart in Han, and he didn't notice the changes in Yan Zeyin. The two of them talked back and forth in the bright room. At dusk, the two of them also went side by side to invite An to the housemother, Yan Zeyin thought that after inviting An Xu Moqing, he would be able to return to Taoyao Pavilion. didn't want Xu Moqing to say that dinner was going to come to his Guan Ju Pavilion to eat, and he reacted that Xu Moqing must have had an awkward quarrel with Yan Guiwan.
So he led him back to Guan Ju Pavilion first, and then inquired one by one. Xu Moqing still refused to say, still looking around at him. In the end, Qiusheng listened to him on the side. After Yan Zeyin found out, he smiled faintly, "How big was it at that time?" Dare to love just for a Liu Yifeng? ”
Xu Moqing was willing to admit that he drank a cup of wine and ate a lot of vegetables and vegetables, and said with an indifferent face: "I just hid from you to avoid purity." ”
Yan Zeyin grabbed Bai and said: "Brother-in-law, who doesn't know that your Taoyao Pavilion is the largest courtyard in our Yan Mansion. You must know that the main house of the main mother in the courtyard is Mu Li Lou, the little aunt is in the Zhumei Garden in the West Chamber, and Concubine Wen is in the Panshi Zhai in the East Chamber. The three elders only live in one courtyard, and only Your Ninth Highness and the Late Young Lord support such a large courtyard. ”
Saying that, everyone laughed, Yan Zeyin grabbed Tong Sheng and asked, "Tong Guan'er, do you say what I said is right?" Your master is a prince, how dare our Yan family snub him! His Royal Highness the Prince is now aggrieved and said that he came to the Guan Ju Pavilion to hide and go to the grave to burn newspapers to fool the ghosts! ”
Xu Moqing was still silent, and drank sullen wine alone. Yan Zeyin chattered endlessly, praising his eldest sister's good words. Yan Zeyin's narration of Yan Guiwan and Xu Moqing was simply two people, and he really couldn't take Yan Zeyin's words seriously.
"What? Brother-in-law, you won't believe me? My eldest sister is not familiar with you, so her nature is not as cold as it seems. I'll go back to Taoyao Pavilion with you in a while, and I'll help you explore her sideways. ”
"No!" Xu Moqing immediately stopped him.
Yan Zeyin saw that Xu Moqing's face was red, and knew that he was annoyed, so he smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, what are you excited about?" ”
"Ze'er is not allowed to interfere indiscriminately, the matter between me and your eldest sister will be handled between us."
Xu Moqing put down the chopsticks, got up and straightened his clothes, "Go back to Taoyao Pavilion!" He went away in a majestic manner.
Yan Zeyin didn't go out to see him off, Xiao Shi and Xiao Pu sent their master and servant away and ran back, and saw that Yan Zeyin had fallen asleep on the kang in the bedroom. The second male officer hurriedly packed up the guys, only to hear Yan Zeyin read in a daze: "Qin Jun......"
Xiao Pu glanced at Xiao Shi and said, "Lord Ze is still worried about the second sister of the Mu family?" ”
"Oh, you don't want to open any more pots." Xiao Shi shook his head helplessly.
Xu Moqing hid in Guan Ju Pavilion for an afternoon, and when she came back, she heard the sound of laughter coming from the east chamber one after another, and she knew that it must be Erliu who was accompanying Yan Gui to dinner at night, the two of them had eaten together so many times, and she had never seen her so elated! He quickly returned to the main room, blew the lamp and went to bed early.
When Yan Guiwan came back from the east chamber, he saw that it was already dark in the bedroom, and knew that Xu Moqing did it on purpose, so he had to go to the ear room to fool around all night. During the day, she was still a little angry, but now, her anger has completely dissipated. In the east chamber to eat with Erliu, she was greedy for a few more glasses of wine, because Liu Yifeng frequently respected her, she did not refuse. One night scene questioned.
Early the next morning, Yan Gui got up late late, first, she was greedy for a cup and did not wake up, and second, Jiuling and Jiuying did not come to call her. She hurriedly got up, blamed the second female officer, and began to pack it up hastily. She was still taking care of it in a mess here, but Jiuying over there suddenly had a stomach upset, and she couldn't stand firmly for a moment, so she ran straight to the clean room several times.
Yan Guiwan saw it in his eyes, so he called Jiu Ling to go to the stable to set up the horses, and ordered Jiuyang to come forward to serve. The nine spirits went to the stable, and after a while, they ran back again, and said in a panic: "Night Lord, the cattle recognize their masters, and I can't manipulate them!" It almost kicked it. ”
Yan Guiwan was stunned, thinking that what Jiu Ling said was simply a joke. Even if Jiu Ling's skills are not as good as Jiuying, he won't even be able to catch a horse. At this time, Jiuying rushed to the side again, and said suspiciously: "Night Lord, it must be that when we went back to the house yesterday and stopped halfway, there was a problem with the water we drank, I was so uncomfortable, and I thought the same would be true for the horse." That's why the spirit officer can't help it. ”
Yan Guiwan and the others were shouting outside, but Xu Moqing's door was suddenly opened, and Qiusheng and Tong Sheng were busy going in and out, and they had already heard a rough idea of the content outside.
Qiusheng returned to the inner room and said to Xu Moqing: "Your Highness, the horses of the late lord seem to have eaten something unclean yesterday, and even the Yingguan'er also had stomach trouble. The evening lord got up a little late today, and it seemed that he was going to delay going to the imperial city to be on duty. ”
Xu Moqing was stunned for a while, and her heart moved, but she still didn't speak. Tong Sheng was silent, and went straight to find a piece of gold oil and jade thread for the master, which was exactly the same style as the one worn by Yan Guiwan outside.
Qiusheng secretly applauded, feeling that Tong Sheng had already thought of a place with him. Xu Moqing looked at the expression of the second male official, frowned, and said, "You both think so?" ”
"Your Highness, isn't our sweaty horse much stronger than the late lord's blue-maned horse? It's a great time for you to show off your skills, don't you always complain that you don't get a chance to go horseback riding? Guess the little ones, you've been itching for a long time, right? Qiusheng pouted vigorously.
Xu Moqing smiled and pushed the door out, "Wife, my horse hasn't been pulled out for a long time, if you don't dislike it, I'll take you to the imperial city." ”
Without waiting for Yan Guiwan to answer, Jiuying Jiuling and Tong Sheng Qiusheng had already run to the stable, and put on two horses, one was Xu Moqing's mount, the sweaty horse, and the other was the three-maned horse ridden by the second male official on weekdays.
Jiuying gave Qiusheng a look, and Qiusheng immediately understood. The four of them prepared their horses and waited in unison at the West Corner Gate. Oh, I finally saw Xu Moqing and Yan Guiwan hurrying together.
