Chapter 42 The Ancestral Hall is to be opened
"Hurry up, here it is!"
In the Bamboo Pavilion, Qi Qinzhen Tea came with a group of guards. Watching the guards carefully carry the soft corpse to the stretcher, Juqin said to them again: "The master said that he would carry this corpse to the front of the ancestral hall." Your legs and feet are sharp, don't delay. ”
The guards didn't say a word, and left with the corpse. Zhencha followed them. Qi Qin glanced at the book that had been standing next to her, looking more sluggish than usual, and wondered in her heart, "Books?"
"Let's go. The book passed through the palace guard and followed the guard, and the teacher didn't stop for a moment, and raised his heels. Strange, why do you feel that the wood is more blunt than usual?
"Dad, the ancestral hall has arrived. "Even with people on their backs, Liu Yang and Liu Song arrived earlier than Jiaqin and his party.
I saw that the outer bricks and tiles of the ancestral hall were black and white, and the closed door was locked in a lot of dull and serious inside. After Liu Zhengqian returned to the room to put on the crown and change into an amber brocade robe, he was standing with his hands behind the door of the ancestral hall at this moment. He watched Liu Yang carefully put Liu Song on the ground, and then stepped forward and walked lightly to Liu Song, "Presumably, on the way here, Liu Yang has already told you about today's events in detail." Please also ask Uncle Song to take out the key and open this ancestral hall. ”
"Young Master, you should know. Fang Cai heard Liu Yang tell the story of the matter, knowing the seriousness of the matter, Liu Song's face was serious, "The second young master is not here, you can't open the ancestral hall by yourself." ”
"Uncle Song, you know it too. The big room and the second room have not been in harmony for a long time, and I am afraid that the second room will spread something......" Liu Zhengqian was embarrassed.
Liu Song shook his head firmly, "The old man said it when he was alive. The two rooms of the big house are not harmonious, but the broken bones are connected with blood, and no matter what major matters in this Liu Mansion must be discussed together. The Liu family only has this vein in the imperial capital, and now that the ancestral hall is such a major event, as long as the second young master is not removed from the family tree, the eldest young master must invite him over. ”
"Alas......" Liu Zhengqian sighed. Liu Song has been in the Liu family for decades, and he is loyal to the Liu family, even if he is now taking the title, he still has to listen to this old servant in family affairs, who let this be one of the last words of his father and the former head of the Liu family!
"Liu Yang!" Liu Zhengqian gritted his teeth unwillingly and said, "Invite the second room over!"
"Ah, yes. Liu Yang ran out quickly.
Seeing Liu Zhengqian's slightly darkened face, Liu Song sighed: "Young Master, don't be troublesome about the old slave." It's just that in the past two days, rumors about the big house have been rampant in the imperial capital, and the big house should use some means to break the wind direction of the imperial capital. ”
"You mean ......" Liu Zhengqian lowered his eyes and looked at Liu Song, who was aging in front of him.
"The old slave only hopes that the eldest young master and the second young master can have one heart. "Liu Song is up to now, and the rest is not what he should say as an old slave.
Liu Zhengqian pondered. The Liu family, to be precise, is not stable in the imperial capital now. The Liu family, as the sixth generation of important ministers of Tianqin, is too powerful, and the emperor seems to favor the Liu family in recent years, but it is only for the second room. For him, a big house that inherits the lord and holds the army, the meaning of the emperor's suppression can be seen by almost anyone with a discerning eye. No matter how cautious he is, he still gave the emperor an excuse because of Liu Zhilan's return to the house last time, and I don't know if the rumors in the imperial capital have reached the emperor's ears in the past two days. However, for the sake of insurance, it is indeed time for Dafang to consolidate its power...... Liu Song's meaning is obvious, the big house and the two rooms are connected together, one article and one martial arts, and the emperor may still be a little jealous. But a few years ago, Liu Zhixiao insisted on separating the house for some reason, where is this matter so simple.
"Sir, the corpses are here. While Liu Zhengqian was thinking, Qiqin and his party rushed over with the corpse covered with a white cloth. Although it was cold, the corpse smelled terrible after three days. Liu Zhengqian frowned and pointed to the side, "You put this corpse farther away." ”
"Yes. The guards placed the body away from Liu Zhengqian.
Qi Qinzhen Tea looked up at the ancestral hall quietly outside the wall, and the gray color really made people feel unhappy.
The book stood next to Juqin without saying a word. He is now temporarily out of martial arts due to the power of medicine, and must stay by the side of the Lianqin and the others to ensure safety.
At noon, the atmosphere in the big room of the Liu family was tense, but the second room of the Liu family was very leisurely.
The imperial capital is divided into four streets, east, west, north and south, which are secretly controlled by the four kings with different surnames of Tianqin. The big house of the Liu family is located on the East Street controlled by the Chongyong Palace, while the second room mansion is located on the West Street controlled by the Yiyi Palace. Everyone in the world knows that Liu Zhengqian and Mo Yunchen are not in harmony, and Liu Zhixiao's mansion is really not to think about it!
When Liu Yang arrived at Taifu's Mansion, Liu Zhixiao was playing chess by himself in the lakeside pavilion. Looking at the man standing in front of him in an indigo shirt and wearing dark blue sleeves, Liu Yang saluted very respectfully: "The little one has seen the second master." ”
"What's the matter with the big house?" For the people who came from the big house, Liu Zhixiao went straight to the topic unceremoniously. He held the white son in his hand and thought about what to do next, without looking at Liu Yang.
Ignoring Liu Zhixiao's indifference, Liu Yang said: "Back to the second master, our uncle wants to open an ancestral hall, so he sent a small one to invite the second master." ”
Hearing what Liu Yang said, Liu Zhixiao's white son fell off the board, and his slender fingers paused on the chess pieces for a moment and then retracted smoothly. He turned his head to look at Liu Yang, with a puzzled face, "Open an ancestral hall?"
"For more details, the uncle said that the second master must come to the house in person to inform him. Of course, Liu Zhengqian never ordered that. But Liu Yang is also a clever person, what should not be said, how to say that he understands it in his heart.
"Then you can wait outside the house. I have to prepare for such a big event as opening an ancestral hall. Liu Zhixiao got up, Liu Yang saluted him and withdrew, "The little one is waiting for the second master outside the mansion." ”
Okay, why is Liu Zhengqian suddenly about to open the ancestral hall? Liu Zhixiao pondered on the way to the dormitory. Thinking of the rumors about the big house that have spread in the imperial capital recently, he frowned slightly. He didn't believe that Liu Zhengqian would almost kick Liu Zhilan to death, but Liu Zhengqian opened the ancestral hall at this time just for Liu Zhilan, could it be that the rumors outside were true? No, if it was true, how could Liu Zhengqian, a person who cherished feathers so much, open an ancestral hall, it seems that Liu Zhilan had something else going on.
Liu Zhixiao entered the bedroom and called the servant Liu Tuan to change his clothes, "When I go out for a while, find someone to invite King Yixi to come to the house for tea after I leave." ”
"Yes. Liu Tuan served Liu Zhixiao to change his clothes, and went out to find someone.
Liu Zhixiao looked at herself in the bronze mirror. The pale blue brocade crown dress has given him a lot of calmness for his handsome appearance, he just stands, and such a graceful and steady temperament has also attracted the attention of many Huaichun girls in the imperial capital. It's a pity that Liu Zhixiao is famous for not being a woman, and some matchmakers directly refused to kiss him. Some people once suspected that he was good Longyang, but no one had ever seen him get intimate with any man, so this rumor was self-defeating. It's just that there has been a not-so-nice name about him in this imperial capital since then: Monk Liu Er.
Liu Zhixiao went out of the bedroom after confirming that there was no problem, and Liu Tuan was already waiting outside the door, "All orders?"
"Don't worry, sir, the people sent are very reliable, and they will never leak the news. Liu Tuan followed behind Liu Zhixiao. He is only a teenager, although he has learned a little calmness by Liu Zhixiao's side since he was a child, he still has a little bit of youthful escape.
Liu Zhixiao nodded and replied softly, and the two of them left the house after a while. Liu Tuan helped Liu Zhixiao into the carriage, and followed Liu Yang to the carriage in the direction of Liufu.
As soon as they left on their front feet, a small servant in Taifu's Mansion immediately ran to Yixian Wangfu to report the news to Mo Yunchen.
"Lord Taifu invites this king to eat tea at this time?" In the decoction pharmacy of the Yixi Palace, Mo Yunchen wore a red coat and a sleeveless long white coat, and his long hair was all tucked into the crown. He sat on a small bamboo tie, and the fan in his hand fanned the fire burning on the stove in front of him.
The little servant of the Taifu Mansion brought in by Gui Yan saw that Mo Yunchen actually decocted the medicine himself, and wondered who had such a big face to let King Yi Yi decoction the medicine, but he didn't dare to show it at all. "Back to the prince's words, my lord did order the little one like this before leaving. ”
"He's gone?" Mo Yunchen stared at the medicine jar intently, it was the first time he had decocted medicine, and it was inevitably very clumsy to fan it. "Where?"
"Master, he's gone to the Weiguo Mansion. The little guy replied.
"What is he doing there?" Mo Yunchen didn't dare to stop his movements. He stared at the fire on the stove, for fear that the potion would overflow if the heat was too high. After returning from Liufu yesterday, he had someone to prepare medicinal materials according to the recipe that Ji Juyuan had left in Liufu, and he began to decoct the medicine with great interest this morning. However, he has been pampered since he was a child, and he has never been exposed to such trivial matters, so a lot of medicinal materials have been wasted in the morning's work. This has finally reached the last step, but there must be no more mistakes.
Liu Tuan beside the master didn't tell the little one, but only said that he wanted to invite the prince to the house for tea. "Look at the fire on the stove that can't be smaller. This fire is also small, and if it continues like this, it is estimated that it will be finished when the sun falls!
"Alright, the king knows. Go back, and the king will go when he is free. Mo Yunchen's free hand waved casually at the little guy.
The little guy was a little worried, but seeing that Mo Yunchen was full of decoction, he didn't dare to persuade Mo Yunchen to change someone to decoction so that he could leave with him quickly, so he could only follow Guiyan out.
"Lord Wang, that little ......" has been sent away. Before Gui Yan could finish his words when he returned to the decoction pharmacy, he was stopped by Mo Yunchen, "Shhh, don't talk." ”
Seeing that Mo Yunchen was displeased, Gui Yan stopped talking. He stood behind Mo Yunchen, with a helpless look on his face. How did the prince form an alliance and put himself in?
Although Mo Yunchen thought that he was only interested in Liu Zhilan, what he did seemed to others to be clearly a charming thought for Liu Zhilan! Especially Gui Yan, who watched his prince every day and never leave the "Liu family" and "little dramatist", but now he even deigned to decoction for Liu Zhilan! He really couldn't figure out how Liu Zhilan, a sick seedling, and Liu Zhengqian's daughter, had taken away the soul of her master.
Alas...... Gui Yan sighed silently in his heart. However, a person as arrogant and noble as the prince can enter the eyes of the prince, and there must be something outstanding about that Liu Erqianjin!
