Chapter 227, Visit Situ Mansion
"Tell me, what's the matter with you? Why did you want Situ Zhen to come to me pretending to be a woman? Cijing sat back in his seat, leaning on the table and shaking the fan, a pair of clear eyes looked at him coldly.
Situ Ke was still smiling, "Because Zhen'er originally wanted to be a woman, the reason why he wanted moonlight grass was because he saw that the ancient book said that moonlight grass can make men become women." ”
Cijing raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Why?" ”
"Because he's in love with a man." Cijing's hand shaking the fan paused, she pursed her lips, and said, "He wants to become a woman for that man?" ”
"That's true." Situ Ke nodded neatly.
"You're a cousin, and you agree with him doing this?"
Situ Ke lowered his eyes, "He just fell in love with a person, and he made some sacrifices for the person he loved, and it was not a fatal thing, why should I stop him?" ”
"Okay." After a pause, he asked, "You just said that you have something to tell me, what is it?" ”
"About that Mr. Zhou Han and the exquisite bones in the palace body."
Rosetsuki looked at the mirror with the rice in it, removed her bowl, and put another cup of tea in front of her. Cijing didn't notice it at all, and dipped the tea with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
Cuiwei Cuinong looked at it and covered her mouth and smiled, after Rosemoon finished eating, she asked Cuiwei Cuinong to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and then took away the chopsticks in Cijing's hand, and asked, "How long are you going to be in a daze?" ”
Cijing looked at him blankly and called his name softly: "Rosemoon." ”
Guiyue was aroused by her gentle cry, and looked at her with disgust: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, don't say that I went to sleep." ”
"Situ Ke said he knew where Wuyi was." Cijing pursed his lips and said, "He will take me to find Wuyi, but he has one condition." ”
"On what terms?"
"It's a matter of the court, the emperor is old now, but he has not established a prince for a long time, Situ Ke and the eldest prince Su Chang have formed an alliance, and he hopes that I can help him help Su Chang ascend to the throne." Resignation.
Guiyue glanced at her, "You agreed?" ”
Cijing shook his head, "I don't, I'm a woman, and I'm from the rivers and lakes, how can I help?" ”
"If you want to naturally be able to help, don't forget that most of the incense produced by your Luming Palace is for the royal families of various countries, that is, you have only been for the countries of the Western Regions for all these years, but the Western Regions have been sent to the Central Plains, in fact, it is the same."
"So what?"
"I heard that an envoy from the Spring Kingdom brought the princess to the Central Plains to make peace?" Rosemoon said suddenly.
Cijing nodded, "So what?" ”
"If you want to find Wuyi, you can help Situ Ke, but Situ Ke may not be helping the eldest prince Su perennial."
Cuinong sent a pot of wine over, Guiyue filled herself with a glass, and filled it with Ci Jing, Ci Jing was still ignorant, and didn't turn a corner, "How do you know that Situ Ke is not helping Su Perennial?" ”
"Because Su Changnian is a person, shrewd and jealous, and extremely suspicious, if Situ Ke helps him ascend to the throne, then he will inevitably cross the river and tear down the bridge, Situ Ke is not stupid, so he naturally knows that he can't help Su Changnian." Guiyue analyzed lightly.
Cijing was dumbfounded, "Why are you so clear?" ”
Guiyue rolled her eyes and said, "I've been in the palace for a few years. ”
Hearing this, Cijing drank the wine in the cup, and then slammed the cup on the table, "Then do you think I should help Situ Ke?" ”
"I don't know, I don't know Situ Ke, but at least he has solved a few unjust cases as Jing Zhaoyin, and he is a good official who works hard for the people." Guiyue rubbed her wine glass and said lightly.
Ci Jing stared at Rosemoon, Rosemoon raised her eyes to look at her, "My face is blooming, you are staring at me like this?" ”
"I'm just curious, I usually see how lazy you are, and I know a lot."
"I'm afraid you're too lazy to do it." Rosemoon rolled her eyes.
Cijing stood up and said: "After all, I haven't seen much of the world since you, you have been in the palace, and you have passed through the door of life and death a few times, and you have walked through so many places, and you have seen so many people and things, and you can see many things more clearly than me. ”
Guiyue turned her face away, didn't speak, Cijing smiled, and said, "I'll go to Situ Mansion tomorrow to have a good talk with him, and if you want, come with me." ”
The next day, the sky was clear, and Cijing stood at the door in a white shirt and long skirt, with a green silk hair and a white silk flower pinned, which was her usual plain dress, but a silver lily of the valley was painted on her smooth forehead, and her cherry lips were slightly pursed, and she hung her head and played with an amber jade bracelet on her wrist.
Guiyue walked over, still carrying his favorite piano behind him, and when he saw the mirror, he was slightly stunned, and said, "If you dress like this, others will think that you are going to the funeral." ”
"But that's how I've always dressed." Cijing blinked innocently.
Guiyue casually picked a red camellia from the yard and pinned it in her hair, looked at it with a wooden face for a moment, nodded, and said, "That's it." ”
The two turned around in unison, but just saw Sun Xian standing outside the door, his expression a little cold.
Ci Jing uncomfortably touched the flowers that Guiyue had just planted for herself, and sneered: "Brother Sun is so early today." ”
"Where are you going so early?" Sun Xian walked up the steps, a faint smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
"Go to Situ Mansion." As soon as the mirror was about to glance at Rosemoon, Rosemoon had already opened her mouth.
Cijing covered his chest and glared at Guiyue, but Guiyue was unaware of it, and continued: "Does Mr. Sun want to go with us?" ”
Cijing's eyes darkened when she heard this, this Guiyue deliberately wanted to be angry with her, right? She shouldn't have asked him to come with her.
Sun Xian looked at Ci Jing, his eyes narrowed slightly, and asked, "What are you doing in Situ Mansion?" ”
"He knows where Wuyi is, and I have something to ask him." The resignation mirror said awkwardly.
Sun Xian sighed, "In that case, I'll go with you too." ”
"Or don't." Ci Jing hurriedly waved his hand, "You hate him so much, don't go and block yourself, you just stay in Jingju, Yu Wanting and Li Ai are here." ”
Sun Xian looked at Guiyue again, and Guiyue turned her face away, pretending not to see it.
Ci Jing dragged Guiyue over, waved his hand and said, "Let's go first, Brother Sun, please do it." ”
As he spoke, he walked out, almost running wildly all the way, Guiyue let her drag all the way, and when she arrived at the door of Situ's mansion, Guiyue rolled her eyes at her, and said lightly: "Mr. Sun won't eat us again, what are you doing running so fast?" ”
"Brother Sun is obviously very angry, and if we don't leave, he will definitely stop us."
"Why are you afraid of him? It's not like you can't beat him. ”
Cijing patted his chest, "How could I be afraid of Brother Sun, I'm just-"
"What are you just doing?" The sudden appearance of Sun Xian made Ci Jing's little heart jump to her throat in fright, she swallowed her saliva, and said, "Brother Sun, why did you come with me?" ”
"Since it has something to do with Wuyi, then even if I hate Situ Ke, I'm going to come and visit." Sun Xian stepped forward and buckled the door knocker of the tiger's head.
The one who opened the door was an old man with white hair, who didn't seem surprised at all when he saw Sun Xian, and bowed his head and said, "Shizi, you are here." ”
Sun Xian snorted faintly, the old man opened the door a little, Cijing and Guiyue stepped forward, the old man made a gesture of please, and said, "Everyone, please come in." ”
Several people entered the Situ Mansion, crossed a vermilion small wooden bridge, all the way to the courtyard with flowers and willows, all kinds of flowers bloomed in the yard, there was a small pond in the middle, the pond was full of clear water, there were a few water lilies lying down, in the center of the pond was a gazebo, the side of the pavilion was hung with white veils, and there were several small copper bells hanging on the top of the pavilion, and the wind blew the crisp sound of jingle bells.
Cijing looked at this courtyard, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that there should be a woman living in this place, but he didn't expect Situ Mansion to be like this.
Guiyue covered her mouth and sneezed a few times, a few dragonflies flew high and low in front of her, and handed a handkerchief to Guiyue, Guiyue wiped her nose and said, "Isn't it too fragrant here?" ”
Cijing looked at the flowers in the yard, most of them she recognized, but some she couldn't recognize either, Sun Xian frowned, touched his nose, and didn't speak.
"Let a few people wait for a long time, Childe will come over later." There was a woman's cold voice behind her, several people turned around, and when they saw the face of the person in front of them, several people were stunned, and the woman put the tray in her hand on the table, as if she expected the three of them to come back and prepare four teacups.
Several people sat down at the table, and the woman stood aside and looked down at the unknown place.
Ci Jing opened his mouth and asked, "Girl, who are you from Master Situ?" ”
"The slave is just a house slave in Situ Mansion."
Several people glanced at each other, and Cijing asked again: "We just came in all the way, and there are few people in the house, what about the others?" ”
"Childe and Master don't live together, Childe likes to be quiet, and he doesn't need so many people."
"But it's too lonely." Cijing muttered, she remembered that when she and Yu Ying went to Hefu, Hefu was also such a deserted courtyard, but it was warmly and cleanly arranged, and it seemed to be a repeat here.
"These flowers and plants are all planted by Young Master Situ." The woman seemed to see through the mind of the resignation mirror and said lightly.
Cijing retracted his gaze and said, "The relationship between the little young master and Master Situ is quite good." ”
The woman didn't talk.
After a while, Situ Ke bypassed the corridor and came to the pavilion, arched his hand at a few people, and said, "It's really rude, you have waited so long." ”
As he spoke, he asked the woman next to him to make tea for a few people, Situ Ke sat down, and two maids came over with a few plates of melon and fruit pastries, and the maids looked as cold as the woman, and knocked on the table and glanced at Sun Xian Lin and Guiyue on the other side.
These maids have light steps, silent landing, and a steady breath, and they are obviously masters who have practiced.
"My pastry chef has a good craft, how many people can try it?"
The three of them didn't move, Situ Ke smiled unabated, Wuzi stretched out his hand and picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, and praised it: "It seems that Xun Niang's craftsmanship has grown again." ”
