Chapter 54 Each has his own opinion
On this day, he returned to the mansion after patrolling the shop, and unexpectedly saw that Fan Li was also there, his face was slightly cold, and then he greeted him with a smile on his face, "Why does Brother Fan have time to come to my mansion today?" ”
Fan Li got up and said: "After returning to Beijing, I have been busy with trivial matters, and I didn't take the time to come over until today. ”
"Brother Fan, please sit down, come and serve tea." Wen Chong said enthusiastically, as if he was really overjoyed.
After some gossip, Fan Li said the intention of this visit, "I heard that the construction of the Guanwa Palace was the idea of Brother Wen? ”
"Not bad." Wen Chong readily admitted, "First, it can consume the financial resources of Wu State; Second, you can differentiate Fucha and Wu Zixu more deeply, killing two birds with one stone. ”
"When I was leaving, I told Brother Wen Chong not to act rashly, and we will discuss everything after I come back, so as not to go wrong, why don't you listen?"
Fan Li's questioning made Wen Chong unhappy, but he still smiled on his face, "Isn't there no chaos now, what is Brother Fan so nervous about?" ”
"Okay, let's not talk about the affairs of the Guanwa Palace for the time being, what about Gongzi Mountain?"
Wen Chong's eyelids jumped, "What's wrong with him?" ”
Fan Li stared at his slightly flickering eyes and said, "I heard that Brother Wen has been very close to him recently, and even the matter of building the Guanwa Palace was proposed by him to King Wu. ”
Wen Chong smiled disapprecitatively: "So what, it doesn't hurt us to make one more person." ”
Fan Li said word by word: "If it's just to make friends, there is no harm, I'm afraid that Brother Wen has other thoughts." ”
Wen Chong's fingers were flicking the tea foam for a moment, and after a moment, he said, "Yiguang told you?" ”
"When I entered the palace yesterday to thank you, I met Yiguang."
"She really knows everything about you." Wen Chong smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "In that case, she should also tell you that I have given up on that plan." ”
Fan Li said with a cold face: "If you really give up, Brother Wen will not climb the mountain with Gongzi three times and drink twice during this time, and go on an autumn tour together." ”
Wen Chong's smile froze, and he said indifferently: "Although he is from Wu, he has a good temperament, I am quite close to him, and I have been traveling together in the recent autumn, is there any problem?" ”
"If this is said to others, I may still believe it, but Brother Wen has always believed that time is money, and never spends time on useless things; There is only one possibility that you will entertain Childe Mountain - you have not given up on that plan! ”
Wen Chong stared down at the turquoise and clear tea, and after a while, he smiled, "I really can't hide anything from Brother Fan, Wen Chong admires it." ”
"Brother Wenzhong!" Fan Li said bitterly: "Why do you have to go your own way, do you really have to wait for a catastrophe to regret it?" ”
"Calamity?" Wen Chong scoffed at his words, "I think that Gongzishan is simple and emotional, and supporting him to ascend the throne is the safest way." ”
"Yes, Gongzi Mountain is indeed simple and easy to control, but in the same way, he can't control Wu Zixu, a fierce tiger. The husband is like a rope, firmly restraining Wu Zixu, so that he can't open his mouth to the fullest; Therefore, the king can save his life, and the Yue Kingdom can have peace for many years, once Gongzi Mountain is changed, Wu Zixu will lose the restraint of the border rope and begin to kill unscrupulously. ”
Wen Chong sneered: "According to what you say, we still have to thank our husband?" ”
"In a way, it does." Saying that, Fan Li said again: "We have finally come to this point, and there must be no mistakes, please Brother Wen must focus on the overall situation." ”
"The overall situation ......" Wen Chong played with these two words, and said in a cool voice: "Why does Brother Fan think that your plan must be feasible, and mine is wrong?" ”
"You keep saying that you can use Yiguang to make Fucha and Wu Zixu turn against each other, but as a result, Fucha knew that Wu Zixu intended to murder Yiguang three times and twice, but he never pursued it, and he didn't even say a word of reproach; So you can see that your plan is wrong! ”
Fan Li was angry and anxious, "How can this kind of thing be done overnight, the husband will hand over the unified post of the Gyeonggi camp to Fanlou, it is a silent responsibility, and when the contradiction between him and Wu Zixu accumulates to the point of irreconcilability, it will completely explode." ”
Wen Chong said funny: "How long is your so-called accumulation, a year?" Decade? Or twenty years? I'm afraid that we won't see this day until we die. ”
"No, ...... less"
"Alright." Wen Chong interrupted impatiently, "You do your business, I do my business, it's just irrelevant." ”
Fan Li didn't expect that he had said so much, but Wen Chong still refused to listen to persuasion, "What do you have to do to give up?" ”
Wen Chong smiled coldly, "Brother Fan has time to take care of my business, it is better to worry about yourself, although Yalan died in the hands of Yiguang, I can no longer identify you; But with Wu Zixu's thoughts, there must be some suspicions, and I am afraid that your identity will not be hidden for long. ”
"I'll try to fix this."
"Then I'll wait for Brother Fan's good news." As he spoke, Wen Chong picked up the teacup and said, "I'm tired, so I won't send it." ”
Seeing that Wen Chong did not change his mind at all, Fan Li couldn't help but feel angry, and he didn't even bother to say the word "farewell", so he brushed his sleeves and left.
Looking at Fan Li, who didn't look back, a sneer rose at the corner of Wen Chong's mouth, look, he is the most correct one, sooner or later Fan Li will willingly bow his head and admit his mistake.
Wen Chong thought for a while, raised his palm and clapped it twice, and after a while, the housekeeper walked in and said respectfully: "What does the master command?" ”
"Ming'er is the first year of junior high school, right?" After the butler agreed, Wen Chong beckoned him to come over and whispered a few words in his ear, and the latter took it carefully in his heart, and then said, "The slave will do it." ”
Autumn began in August, but it was not until September that it completely cooled down, and the autumn wind swept by, and the chill seeped through the thin autumn clothes, making people shiver with cold.
In the Mingfeng Palace, a palace maid walked up to Zheng Dan, who was watering the chrysanthemums, and said softly: "Beauty, it's cold outside, the slave maid will help you into the house." ”
"I'm not cold, if you feel cold, go back to the house." Zheng Dan said without raising his head.
Her words moved the palace maid and said with emotion: "Beauty is kind and kind, but some people take this blessing for granted. ”
"How many of them did you say?"
"Yes, most of the day is lazy, and every day I say that I am tired and panicked, and I am obstructive of the dispatch of the beauty, but I am very enthusiastic about the Yiguang girl." The palace maid shook her head as she spoke, quite disdainful.
Zheng Dan's hand trembled slightly, and the shower fell on a green chrysanthemum next to him without holding it for a while, and then smashed it on his feet, and the water spilled out.
Zheng Dan exclaimed, didn't care about the wet shoes and socks, and quickly leaned over to look at the green chrysanthemum, which was quite heavy, smashing a lot of petals and breaking the flower stems, if it is not treated, I am afraid that this green chrysanthemum will die soon. She quickly found a branch and stuck one end in the dirt, and tied the other end to the stem of the flower with a handkerchief, so that it could be fixed and let it heal slowly.
After doing all this, she asked the palace maid to help her back to the warm pavilion to change her shoes and socks, and after the half-wet Luo socks were removed, the palace maid found that her instep was swollen, presumably from the smash just now, and hurriedly said: "The slave maid will go and ask the imperial doctor to come." ”
Zheng Dan said disapprenosingly: "It's just a small injury, and it will be retired in two days, so there is no need to make a fuss." ”
"But what if you hurt your foot bones?" The palace maid said embarrassedly, and after a while, her eyes lit up, and she said, "The slave maid remembers that Miss Yiguang is proficient in medical skills, why don't you come to her to have a look?" ”
Zheng Dan hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "It's okay." ”
The palace maid left immediately, and after about half an hour, she came back with an ugly face, but she didn't see Yiguang, Zheng Dan said suspiciously: "Rouge, what about people?" ”
The palace maid named Rouge bowed her head and was silent until Zheng Dan asked again, and then she whispered: "The people of the Taiji Hall don't let the slaves and maids in, so they can't see Miss Yiguang." ”
Zheng Dan was stunned, and then a wry smile appeared, "She is now the person on the tip of the king's heart, which is what we can see if we want to." ”
Rouge hurriedly said, "The slave will go later." As she spoke, she muttered in a low voice: "Speaking of which, since the Yiguang girl revealed her identity, she hasn't been to the Mingfeng Hall for several days, and she used to come every few days." ”
Her words made Zheng Dan's already not very good-looking face more and more pale, and after a while, she said: "Don't bother, just apply some ointment to remove stasis." ”
Rouge answered, and after rubbing the ointment and putting on shoes and socks for Zheng Dan, she heard a noise outside, so she opened the door and walked out, and after a while, she came in and said: "Qiyu beauty, it is the people from the water room who brought the water, please go and count it." ”
"Okay." Zheng Dan took Rouge's hand and came outside, Zhang Dali stood in the wooden barrel five and a half people high, he was a mute, he couldn't speak, he could only bow his head and salute, and then handed over a roll of bamboo slips, and pointed to the line of "Mingfeng Palace" with one hand.
Zheng Dan knew that this was for her to write her name on it to indicate that she had received the water, and when she reached out to take it, her face changed slightly, and she turned to Rouge and said, "Go and get the pen." ”
Taking advantage of the rouge pen, Zheng Dan took out a thin silk silk from under the bamboo slip, and the handwriting was faintly visible, she quickly glanced at Zhang Dali, and then hid it in her sleeve.
After returning to the warm pavilion, Zheng Dan found an excuse to send the rouge down and close the doors and windows tightly, so that he took out the silk silk, and there was only a line of small words on it: Come to see it after noon tomorrow, and destroy it quickly after reading.
Zheng Dan took the silk silk to the unextinguished wick with a complicated expression, and watched the candle flame devour the silk little by little until it burned out, and in the following time, she was unsettled.
The next day, she suddenly asked Rouge to ask her husband for a decree, saying that she was going to Guanwa Palace to have a look, the palace was originally built in her name, and now she wanted to see it, and it was on the east side of the palace, very close to each other, and the husband had no reason to allow it.
After noon, Zheng Dan took the rouge to the Guanwa Palace, which was still building the palace, and after walking for a while, she suddenly said: "Today seems to be colder than yesterday, you go back and get a cloak." ”
Rouge said embarrassedly: "As soon as the slave and maid leave, there will be no one waiting for the beauty, how can this be good?" ”
"I have hands and feet, and I can't walk, so I just need to go back quickly." Seeing Zheng Dan's resolute attitude, Rouge had no choice but to agree, turned around and returned to the palace, but did not go to Mingfeng Hall to get the cloak as he said, but quietly went to the Liuli Pavilion.
"The slave and maid are given to the county lord, and the county lord is blessed with Jin'an." Rouge saluted Wu Rong who was half-sitting on the soft couch with a flattering face, sweeping away his usual light appearance, if Zheng Dan was here, he would definitely be shocked.
Wu Rong's eyelids lifted slightly, and he said casually: "Something? ”
Rouge took a step forward and lowered his voice and said, "The county lord expected it to be good, Zheng Meiren is really weird. ”
Hearing this, Wu Rong perked up, sat up straight and said, "Let's talk about it carefully." ”
"Yesterday, the dumb man in the water room came to deliver water, and then Zheng Meiren stayed alone in the warm pavilion, and when the slave went in, she found a trace of ash scattered under the lamp and candle, as if something had been burned; Later, Zheng Meiren asked the slave maid to ask the king for instructions, saying that she would go to the Guanwa Palace to have a look today. You said that nothing has been built in this palace, it is messy and dirty, there is something to see, it is clearly weird. Rouge said in a fifteen-10 voice, Zheng Dan was afraid that she would never have dreamed that the palace maid she had always trusted was Wu Rong's eyeliner.
Wu Rong said thoughtfully: "What about her now?" ”
"It's in the Guanwa Palace, just now she said that she would let the slave come back and get some cloak, and the more the slave and maid thought about it, the more wrong it became, so she hurried to tell the county lord."
"It's not stupid at all." Wu Rong snorted lightly and said, "How is she and the slut surnamed Shi?" ”
Rouge said flatteringly: "The slave maid has always been according to the county lord's instructions to separate the two of them, yesterday Zheng Meiren didn't hurt her foot very much, the slave maid excused herself to go to the Taiji Hall to ask Miss Shi to come for treatment, in fact, she didn't go at all, she went back after a random turn outside, saying that Miss Shi was busy and couldn't come over." Although Zheng Meiren didn't say anything, the slave maid could see that she was very dissatisfied with Miss Shi. ”
"Okay." Wu Rong nodded with satisfaction, took off the brocade bag tied around his waist and threw it to Rouge, "This is your reward, take it." ”
"Thank you, Lord Shire." Rouge held the heavy bag and thanked him, and then said, "...... over there in that palace."
Wu Rong interrupted: "I have my own arrangements, you can go to Mingfeng Hall to get clothes according to her words, so as not to make her suspicious." ”
After Rouge left, Wu Rong called the palace people: "Do you know where the king is?" ”
The palace man glanced at the sky and said, "At this hour, it should be at the Queen Mother's place." ”
"Queen Mother......" A cold smile rose at the corner of Wu Rong's mouth, and the next moment, she brushed her sleeves and got up, opening her lips, "Follow me to Baining Palace." ”
In the Baining Palace, there was silence, Yiguang knelt in front of the couch to check the pulse of the Queen Mother; Since the beginning of autumn, the Queen Mother's health has been poor, and the imperial doctor is helpless. He knew that Yiguang was a skilled doctor, so he asked her to heal the Queen Mother.
Seeing Yiguang withdraw his hand, Fucha hurriedly asked, "How?" ”
Looking at the husband's nervous gaze, Yiguang didn't know how to speak, don't look at the Queen Mother's appearance, but in fact, the pulse is weak, and the sick body is heavy, but it is a sign that the oil is terminally ill, and the lamp is dry, I am afraid that it will not last this winter. With such a sick body, it is impossible for the imperial doctor in the palace not to diagnose it, but he is afraid that his husband will blame him, so he does not dare to speak out.
