Chapter 51: Before Departure
The people who went to Liangzhou were chosen, and their ministers had no intention of being in the main hall, so they dispersed. At this moment, a minister came to him. He frowned slightly, and asked in that dissatisfied tone:
"Why did the adults recommend Jiang Huan'er to pacify the floods in Liangzhou?"
When Du Guang heard what the minister said, he snorted coldly:
"Are you in a panic as an official and recommend a yellow-haired child to go to that Liangzhou?"
The minister was extremely dissatisfied with Du Guang's attitude, but he couldn't show half of his emotions on his face. Instead, he continued to pretend to be confused:
"What do you mean?" The coldness in Du Guang's eyes was even worse, and he said without warmth:
"The flooding in Liangzhou is serious, and the mob has increased. Mr. Jiang died at the hands of a mob while dealing with the floods. ”
"My lord's plan is very clever, and the officials admire it."
The minister heard Du Guang's words and praised him sincerely, he was the most favored courtier in front of Ling Chen. But after Jiang Huan came, everything changed.
Jiang Huan took away the favor that originally belonged to him.3 Ling Chen even valued him to the point of bringing an ordinary courtier into the palace. If it weren't for this, how could he have voted for him to switch to Du Guangmen.
I saw that Jiang Huan was packing up his things, and the two palace maids who were waiting outside the house walked in. They knelt down together as if they had made an appointment:
"Ask the lord to take the slave and the maid to Liangzhou together."
"What are you doing here? Hurry up, hurry up. Jiang Huan was taken aback by the two palace maids, and stretched out his hand to help the two of them up. After the two got up, Jiang Huanmin pursed his lips.
"Say it, reason."
"Adults are kind to slaves and maids, so where adults go, slaves and maids go."
"Grace?" This time, Jiang Huan was blinded. When Ling Chen asked him to choose the palace maids who Luo Fengju was waiting for, he casually pointed to two, and those two palace maids were the two of them.
The two palace maids said with tears in their eyes:
"Adults forgot? The two slaves were twin sisters, and their mothers were seriously ill and in dire need of silver. But the slaves and maids really couldn't make up so many silver taels, so they secretly hid in the royal garden and cried. At that time, the adults happened to be passing by, and when they saw the appearance of the slaves and maids, they couldn't bear it, and gave us dozens of taels of silver to ask someone to send them out of the palace to treat our mother's illness. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Jiang Huan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard what the two palace maids said. As a courtier, he has a lot of things to do every day. Where will remember this trivial matter, naturally I didn't take it to heart. It is not a loss not to exchange two loyal girls for this matter. Thinking of this, Jiang Huan smiled:
"This matter is just a gesture, where is it worth your constant concern."
Seeing Jiang Huan like this, the two palace maids said together: "If it weren't for the adults to save them, the mother of the two slaves and maids would probably have been dead a long time ago." The kindness of the adult, the slave and the maid are unforgettable. ”
Seeing this, Jiang Huan restrained the smile on his face and said in a deep voice:
"I'll take your hearts first, but this trip to Liangzhou is full of dangers. Both of you are women, and there will inevitably be a lot of inconvenience. If you really want to repay the favor, stay in this Luofeng dwelling and keep watch. ”
The palace maid dressed in purple on the side was about to say something, but saw another palace maid pull her sleeve. Jiang Huan had already made it very clear that it was absolutely impossible for him to take the two of them to Liangzhou together. Even if the two palace maids wanted to follow the past, they could only give up, so they had to answer stupidly:
"Yes."
"Let's go down." Jiang Huan saw that the two palace maids had understood what they meant, so he didn't continue to entangle, but let them retreat
