Chapter Twenty-Four: The Manuscript Turmoil
Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, Duan Ruhao heard a lot of people talking on the way back to the mansion, and now the first thing he did when he returned to the mansion was to find someone to ask him clearly, and Steward Wu told him everything he knew.
Duan Ruhao frowned, "That means everyone is rushing to ask for a shallow manuscript paper now?" ”
"Yes, sir."
"What about Madame? Can Madame deal with this? ”
"Madame, she...... She said that they were all things that couldn't be put on the table, and they couldn't compare to Miss Three, so she ......"
"A woman's opinion."
Duan Ruhao slapped the table angrily and went directly to Zhao Lingyue's courtyard.
Zhao Lingyue's life is very comfortable now, she is lazily lying on the bench in the courtyard, eating fruit.
Zhao Lingyue saw Duan Ruhao coming, and hurriedly got up, "Master, is there something wrong with being in such a hurry?" ”
Duan Ruhao was angry when he saw Zhao Lingyue's appearance that he didn't care about himself.
"Madam, do you know anything about Qian'er?"
Zhao Lingyue saw that Duan Ruhao's face was not good, and replied upright.
"Master, isn't there just a few readers who want to buy Qian'er's manuscript paper? Isn't it a big deal? ”
"Isn't it a big deal? Now everyone in the city is talking about this, and you, as Qian'er's mother, don't know anything about it? ”
"The concubines know, isn't it just that some scholars don't have the money to buy books, so they buy a few manuscript papers copied by Qian'er."
"Transcription? They are all saying that the poems and articles copied by Qian'er can't find the source at all, and they are the only book of my father-in-law, Mr. Jane! ”
"Lonely?"
"It's priceless now."
Zhao Lingyue stayed where he was, and Duan Ruhao flicked his sleeves and snorted and walked out.
"Take Mother Liu to see me."
"Yes, sir."
In the hall, Liu's mother trembled and knelt down to salute.
"I've seen the master."
Duan Ruhao glared and said sharply.
"You're Mama Liu?"
"Yes."
"Lady's room, but you're taking care of it?"
"Yes. But sir, this is all allowed by the eldest lady. ”
Mother Liu raised her head to explain, and lowered her head tremblingly after speaking.
Duan Ruhao obviously didn't believe it, "The eldest lady allowed it?" Even if the eldest lady allows it, you can ask the lady, but you can ask your lord and me! ”
Mother Liu knelt down and kowtowed, and said with a crying voice, "The lord forgives the sins, the master forgives the sins." It's all the old slave who makes his own claim, and the old slave deserves to die! Damn the old slave! ”
Liu's mother kept kowtowing and confessing.
Duan Ruhao looked at it and didn't speak, and saw that Liu's mother kowtowed so that her forehead began to redden, and then said lightly in a cold voice.
"How much manuscript paper do you have, Miss?"
"That's all."
Mother Liu took out the only few remaining sheets from her arms, and they were all burned, and Duan Ruhao was angry again when he saw it.
"That's all? How do you look at the missing piece? ”
Duan Ruhao didn't order anyone to go up to pick it up, Mother Liu held it with her hand like this, and when she heard Duan Ruhao's scolding, her hand couldn't help but tremble.
"Both... It's all... The old slave is illiterate, the old slave ......"
Speaking of the back, the voice was quiet, and she didn't dare to say that she burned it directly because she couldn't read.
Duan Ruhao slapped the table and was about to lose his temper, when the guards led Mama Shi in, Duan Qingqian's half a month of marriage Mama Shi came to live in the house, so Duan Ruhao recognized her.
Duan Ruhao put away his cold face, and Mama Shi saluted Duan Ruhao, "I've seen the prime minister." ”
Duan Ruhao smiled reluctantly, "I don't know ...... Mama Shi came over this time?" ”
"The princess sent the old man over to inform the prime minister that the princess knew about Mother Liu's sale of her manuscript paper, and asked the prime minister not to embarrass Mother Liu."
Duan Ruhao didn't want to agree in his heart, but Mama Shi was from the Regent's Mansion, and he didn't dare not give An Yunmo's face, so he smiled bitterly.
"Don't dare, don't dare, just ask her to ask a few words."
"That's good, the old body retires."
As soon as Mama Shi left, Duan Ruhao's face turned up again, "Bring the things." ”
Steward Wu stepped forward to take the manuscript paper from Liu's mother's hand, and Duan Ruhao took it and looked at the manuscript paper.
Mother Liu was still kneeling in place, not daring to get up, and Steward Wu probably guessed what Duan Ruhao meant, and said to Mother Liu.
"Not yet."
When Mother Liu heard this, she immediately kowtowed and thanked, "Thank you, master, thank you, master, the old slave will step down, this will step down." ”
Mother Liu immediately exited the hall.
Duan Ruhao took Duan Qingqian's manuscript paper and flipped through it a few times, only to feel that the word was not correct, and he didn't have the heart to understand the meaning of the word, so he took the manuscript paper and went to the study.
Steward Wu saw that Duan Ruhao was in a bad mood, and he didn't dare to step forward, so after Duan Ruhao entered the study, he silently helped him close the door.
Duan Ruhao put Duan Qingqian's manuscript paper aside, and turned out a box in a corner of the study, the box was covered with a layer of dust, Duan Ruhao gently brushed it with his hand, and carefully opened the box, and a musty smell of old books came.
Duan Ruhao moved his head slightly, took out a book and flipped through it, the book was full of annotations, three different handwritings, there was his, there was his father-in-law, and there was hers.
Duan Ruhao sighed with emotion, thinking that he was destitute at the beginning, if he hadn't met Aunt Cui, he wouldn't have the current him at all, he had feelings for her, but the feelings were not deep enough after all, when he had a little achievement, he wanted to tell the world that he relied on his own ability to get these, not on Aunt Cui, because he was eager to show himself, he gradually alienated Aunt Cui, until later she hurt her body because of Duan Qingqian, which gave him a reason, and then she wanted to hurt the fetus in Zhao Lingyue's womb.
Duan Ruhao also felt a little sorry for Aunt Cui when he recalled the events of these years, and it was also because he demoted Mrs. Cui to Aunt Cui, Mr. Jian became more and more cold to him, and he became more and more unpleasant to look at him, and he himself was too lazy to step forward, and he and Mr. Jian gradually became estranged.
Duan Ruhao opened another book, and it was the same situation, this box of books was all selected for him by Mr. Jian and Aunt Cui in high school back then.
Duan Ruhao sighed heavily, put Duan Qingqian's manuscript paper into the box together, and locked it, he originally wanted to question Duan Qingqian, why didn't she tell him these things, but thinking that Duan Qingqian was taking care of Mr. and his wife's death alone, he shook his head and said.
"Cui'er, I won't just ask about Qian'er this time, and the right is to repay your kindness back then."
Duan Ruhao ignored it here, but it didn't mean that others ignored it.
No, the palace is bustling with activity.
Fengyi Palace.
An Yunsheng frowned, and asked Liu Ruyun with a bitter face, "Queen, aren't you quite smart?" Why can't you see the depth of Duan Qingqian, and say that she is useless? ”
Liu Ruyun also hated in her heart, "Your Majesty, it's the regent princess who hides too deeply, she is useless in front of the concubines, who would have thought that her city was so deep?" ”
An Yunsheng didn't speak, still with a black face.
Liu Ruyun said to herself, "This regent is not stupid, he must have ...... at the beginning."
"What did you say?"
Liu Ruyun hurriedly replied, "No, the concubine didn't say anything." ”
An Yunsheng didn't ask, gritted his teeth.
"An Yunmo! I doubted him at the beginning, how could he deign to marry a well-known concubine and give her the position of concubine, there is a reason why he thinks about it, and Duan Qingqian thinks about it is not so simple, she was robbed before and could escape, I still think she is lucky, but now it seems that it is not. Come. ”
"Your Majesty."
"Check it out for me immediately, and don't let either An Yunmo and Duan Qingqian go."
"Yes."
Regent's Palace.
The person concerned, Duan Qingqian, was very leisurely at the moment, completely unaware that people outside were making trouble for her manuscript paper, and Xu Ziqi also took advantage of the limelight to find Duan Qingqian to ask her about her experience.
"Princess, can you help you get out of the air smoothly this time?"
Xu Zi said as he picked up the snack and put it in his mouth.
"It's fine."
"Okay? You don't even know what they did to you yesterday? ”
"They just talk about it, and it will fade after a while anyway."
"Princess, your mentality is so good."
"Don't say it, when it comes to mentality, you're not as good as me."
"Yes, yes, I'm not as good as you. But Princess, every line of the poem you copied is in a unique book? ”
"Can you find the source?"
"I can't find it, not only I can't find it, but no one else can find it."
"Then it should be."
An Yunmo also went home at this time.
"What are you talking about?"
An Yunmo pushed the wheelchair and sat on the side, and took off the mask on his face casually, Duan Qingqian was also used to it, An Yunmo didn't wear a mask in the mansion, he didn't dare to face his own people, and the subordinates and maids didn't dare to look up at An Yunmo, so they wouldn't scare them.
"Just make a few small talks."
Xu Ziqi picked up the paper next to him and showed it to An Yunmo.
"I have already parted all the manuscript papers copied by the princess, and these have also been copied and sent out, this is a single manuscript paper, and I left it for you."
Duan Qingqian took it over and looked at it, "Lord Wang, what do you want my manuscript paper to do?" If you like, I'll give you a few copies now, they're really ......."
"It's okay, what I want is what you wrote before."
Duan Qingqian muttered unintentionally, "Could it be that you still want to keep it and laugh at me in the future." ”
An Yunmo looked at Duan Qingqian, and Duan Qingqian smiled awkwardly.
"It's okay, you can keep it if you like."
An Yunmo looked at the poem above, and Xu Ziqi read it alongside him.
"Spring Hope. Du fu. The country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the city is deep in spring. When I feel the tears, I hate the birds. The beacon fire lasted for three months, and the family letter was worth 10,000 dollars. The whitehead scratching is shorter, and the hairpin is overwhelming. ”
"State Bridge. Fan Chengda. The north and south of the state bridge is the heavenly street, and the father is old and waits for the return. Holding back tears, he asked the messenger when the six armies would come. ”
"Liangzhou words. Wang Han. Grape wine luminous glass, want to drink pipa immediately urge. Drunk and lying on the battlefield, how many people came back to fight in ancient times? ”
"Drunk to pick up the lamp to look at the sword, dream back to blow the horn company camp. Eight hundred miles under the command, fifty strings turned over the outside sound. Autumn soldiers on the battlefield. The horse-made Lu was fast, and the bow was like a thunderbolt. But the king of the world, won the name before and after his death. Poor white happens. Xin Qiji. ”
"Tianjingsha Qiusi. Ma Zhiyuan. Withered vines and old trees, faint crows, small bridges and flowing water, ancient roads and westerly winds and thin horses. The sun is setting, and the heartbroken man is at the end of the world. ”
"Man Jianghong. Yue Fei. Angry hair rushed to the crown, leaning on the railing, Xiaoxiao rain rest. Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and roar, strong and fierce. Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons. Don't wait, the young man's head is white, empty and sad! ”
Xu Ziqi was completely intoxicated with his poetic imagination, and suddenly felt that something was looking at him, and when he looked back and saw An Yunmo looking at him dissatisfied, Xu Ziqi coughed embarrassedly.
An Yunmo continued to look at the manuscript paper, and Xu Ziqi couldn't help but mutter.
"Life is a hero, death is also a ghost."
An Yunmo looked up at him again, Xu Ziqi was immediately silent, and suddenly remembered a sentence, Xu Ziqi asked.
"Have you ever seen that since ancient times, no one has died, leaving Dan to take care of his sweat. This sentence? ”
An Yunmo said impatiently, "I know, I see it myself, I don't need you to read it." ”
"Okay, I won't read it."
Xu Ziqi also read these poems because he liked them, and most of them were descriptions of war, and he himself knew it deeply.
Although he is the son of the side branch of the former household department, he is not proficient in business, usually his father takes care of it behind his back, he mostly follows An Yunmo into and out of the battlefield, in comparison, he still likes to fight more than to do business, he doesn't have the brain to do business, and he is always counted down by his father.
An Yunmo looked at Duan Qing and said gently.
"Qingqian, you've been in the limelight lately, so it's better to stay in the house."
"Well, I think a lot of people want to explore my reality. I'm not going anywhere, I'm just staying in the house, and I'm still going to stay. ”
"Hmm."
