Chapter 56 The Unattainable
The sundial turned little by little, and the sun had long since lost its fetters at the beginning of its rise, and a lot of sunlight was sprinkled in the sky, giving the people in the house an illusion of a hot summer. Only a hint of chill from nowhere reminded everyone that now, the cold winter has not returned, and the warmth of spring is still in the distance.
Sheng Rui told the origin of the killing building from beginning to end, and there was silence in the imperial study for a long time.
"Prince, don't leave the palace if you have nothing to do in the past few days."
"Mo Yu, don't leave the palace these days."
"His Royal Highness the Prince, it's better not to leave the palace at will in the near future."
After a moment of silence, three voices rang out in unison.
Then there was an awkward silence.
"That" Mo Yu's tongue turned and turned between the three titles of "Erchen" c "I" and "Bengong", and finally decided not to say that he was calling himself, "After last night's battle, it shouldn't come again." ”
"No!"
"Nonsense!"
"No."
Mo Yu heard the neat voices of the three people, a little helpless, and he couldn't say, when I was assassinated yesterday, a person suddenly appeared that made these assassins frightened, and they moved their mouths and said a word to scare away the people in the building that you are afraid of. I could only look at the three people in front of me with a thick or faint worry on their faces, but Mo Yu suddenly remembered why he didn't think that the emperor and King Zhaoyang could have such a tacit understanding before?
"If there is another time the prince of Zhaoyang, he may not be able to arrive in time, His Royal Highness the Prince, you are the prince of Sheng Qian, the body of ten thousand gold, you must not put yourself in danger." Jiang Jingjie continued to speak.
"Then the palace can't be closed just because of the assassins who killed the building! If this matter spreads, it will be enough for the palace to make the world laugh, and if it implicates the face of the royal family and my face in several other countries, then my prince will be too derelict in his duties! Mo Yu didn't give an inch.
"It doesn't have to be that much trouble." Sheng Rui shook the jade bone fan that never left his hand, and a gust of cold wind rushed towards Mo Xiaofan, "The most important thing in this whole thing is to find out the person who is plotting to assassinate the prince behind his back, which can not only pull out this tumor hidden in the shadows, but also make the task released in the killing building ineffective, so wouldn't it be the best of both worlds." ”
The cold wind was quite strange, and it actually made Mo Xiaofan's face pale, although it was only for a moment, but the few people present all took this change in his eyes into their eyes.
Mo Xiaofan also noticed that the change in his expression had aroused the suspicion of others, and forced himself to ask: "There are so many people in this world, but even the ministers of the court are also a large number, how can we find out this person?" If you only rely on the clue of killing Lou to assassinate the prince, if you want to find out the main messenger behind it, this move is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. ”
The more Mo Xiaofan spoke, the more he felt that he was too right, how could he find out who was behind the scenes with just a wooden card? Besides, as long as there is no actual evidence, you can play the bitter card against your father, after all, she is the emperor's favorite child, and the emperor will never punish him for some unsubstantiated things.
"I think it's better for the prince to leave the palace less, in case the assassin is injured again, it will not be good, so that my father and I can worry less."
"What a good show of brothers, friends and brothers!" When Sheng Rui heard Mo Xiaofan's words, his face was full of disdain, "Who told you that there is only this wooden card?" ”
Mo Chenfeng had already decided to let go of his hand and make trouble with a few of their juniors, and at this time he no longer deliberately protected Mo Xiaofan, but just sat quietly and drank tea, looking coldly at the swords and swords of several people, the fighting method of you coming and going.
"And what else?" Mo Xiaofan chuckled in his heart.
Sure enough, what are you afraid of, looking at what Sheng Rui took out of his sleeve, Mo Xiaofan's face completely changed.
There was a tense atmosphere in the imperial study, and a mansion in the capital was indeed lively and joyful.
Jing Zhaoyi Mansion - Jiang Mansion.
"Old man, I'm back!" A young man in a guard costume shouted as soon as he entered the door, and all the maids and attendants passing by him were not surprised, with a normal expression, presumably already accustomed to the young man's style.
"Young Master, you're back." A middle-aged man about forty years old, who was a little blessed, greeted him with a smile when he heard the boy's shout.
"Uncle Wu, what about the old man? Why didn't you hear him? Usually at this time, when I hear him call him an old man, his beard is about to stand up angrily, why is he so calm today? The boy squeezed his eyes at the middle-aged man, looking funny.
Uncle Wu looked at the young man and smiled, and said with a smile on his face: "The master hasn't come back from the early dynasty yet, so there is something delayed." ”
"Haven't come back yet? It's just right, Uncle Wu, you give me some silver, I have an urgent need. ”
"Nope." Uncle Wu sternly refused, looking at the young man's smiling face that suddenly collapsed, and he felt a little unbearable in his heart, "What do you want money for?" The lord has clearly said that the family's money cannot be given to you without his permission, not a cent. ”
Seeing a maid happen to pass by, the young man turned around and approached the maid, and then the young man grabbed the maid and smiled at her, his face was full of flattery and coquettishness, and said: "Sister Baimei, sister, good sister, you can lend me some money, and I will pay you back when my monthly salary comes down, okay?" ”
Seeing that the maid known as "Bai Mei" was about to succumb to the coquettish young master, Uncle Wu immediately walked a few steps quickly to Bai Mei, with a serious face: "Bai Mei, have you forgotten what the master said a few days ago?" ”
"I haven't forgotten, it's just" Bai Mei looked up at the young man's face that was smiling like the sun, and then at Uncle Wu's serious face, her eyes were full of struggle.
"Haven't forgotten? I haven't forgotten what you're doing here? Don't hurry down yet! Uncle Wu's tone was full of hatred for iron and steel, these maids have been in this mansion for a long time, especially this Baimei is a child of the family, and she is three years older than the young master, and she can be regarded as watching the young master grow up, how can she not withstand the young master's coquettishness!
Thinking about it, Uncle Wu himself laughed, he has always disliked others, isn't he like this? Every time I see the young master's big wet eyes begging for mercy at him without blinking, my heart melts, and only the master in the entire mansion can restrain the young master and keep a cold face towards the young master's coquettishness.
"Uncle Wu, you see you scared Sister Baimei away!" The young man looked at Bai Mei who ran away with a look of pity, almost, almost got it, "I don't care, Uncle Wu, you scared Sister Baimei away, otherwise she will definitely lend me the money, I don't care, you have to compensate me." ”
The young man saw that Bai Mei ran away and had no more chance, so he grabbed Uncle Wu's sleeve with his backhand and refused to give up.
"Young Master, my little ancestor! The lord has issued a strict order not to allow any of the subordinates in the house to lend you money, otherwise it will be severely punished, you also know the temper of the lord, and he will definitely do it, can you bear to harm a little girl's family in Baimei to eat a board in this winter? Uncle Wu tugged on his sleeve twice, but when he couldn't pull it down, he had to follow him, but his mouth was still persuading with bitterness, "Besides, young master, you can't find a place to spend money in this guard, everyone eats and sleeps together, and there is no place to use money at all." ”
"Who said that? Today, Li Ping'an's children held three banquets and invited me to eat and drink, I can't go empty-handed, right? ”
Listening to what the young man said was reasonable, Uncle Wu asked with some hesitation, "Li Ping'an?" Why have you never heard him mentioned you, young master? I don't know which family in the capital he is."
"Naturally, it's the Li family in the capital." The boy laughed and replied casually, but if you look closely, you will find the essence of the broken stars in the boy's eyes.
"The Li family in the capital? Could it be the in-laws of the He family of the Dali Temple? How come I have never heard of such a person as Li Ping'an? ”
"Then who knows, anyway, he is from the Li family, he is going to hold three banquets, he invited me to go, I have no money, it would be too embarrassing to go empty-handed. It's over, I'm a son of the Jingzhao Yin family, and I don't even have the money to buy a gift, so I don't have to mess around in the capital when it gets out. The young man's face was still exaggerated with grief one second, and he had recovered his indifference the next second, but this indifference was a little cold, "Forget it, forget it, Uncle Wu, I don't embarrass you, you can go." ”
The sudden change of the young man made Uncle Wu a little confused, he was afraid that the young man would have another moth, so he asked cautiously and tentatively: "I'm leaving, where are you, young master?" Where are you going? ”
"Where am I going? That's a good question! The young man looked helpless and lonely, "Wait until tomorrow when everyone knows about me - Jiang Fangzheng, the son of Jingzhao Yin Jiang Jingjie in the capital, doesn't even have any money to buy gifts for friends, where else can I go, I don't even want to go out of this door!" Forget it, anyway, I don't like to guard that boring door with a big ice stubble every day, so I don't have to go, everyone is worry-free. I still miss my old days. ”
The corners of Uncle Wu's mouth twitched, nostalgic? Can you not miss it! Every day, I shuttle with a group of fox friends and dog friends in the major green buildings, mingle in all kinds of Chu Pavilions, and have a lot of silver in hand, either holding the Oiran or ringing the first card. The life that the children of the poor family have spent their lives unthinkable of has been completely lived by him, who doesn't miss it!
Although I think so in my heart, but the master is the master, even if he is young, he is also the master, just think about these words, and he must not say them, so he can only continue to persuade the young man bitterly: "Young master, you can't go away." Think about it, the master has always been upright and strict, he has never left anyone with affection, and he has never bowed his head and begged for anything, but just because you said that Cao Shouyang, the son of the Cao family, went to be the general manager of the city gate, and you also wanted to go, he specially went to Cao's house to find Cao Shouyang Cao's handle for your words, and asked him to take care of you, so you were able to go in and take a rotation with him. Now if you suddenly stop doing it, or because of this little thing, the master's face will really be completely lost, and he will never be able to pick it up again. ”
"What then? When everyone went, I didn't go, so what about me? I don't want to lose face? "The teenager is very aggrieved.
Uncle Wu had no choice, seeing that the sun was rising little by little, the old man still didn't come back, presumably this time the matter was not small, and he couldn't come back for a while. But seeing that the young man couldn't wait, he was afraid that he would poke out a basket with his temper, so he had to compromise: "Young master, you have to guarantee that you are holding the silver to give Li Gongzi, and you will never enter those green buildings for half a step." ”
"Yes, I promise." Seeing that he was about to get the money, the boy was very good at talking.
"And how much money do you want?"
The boy was excited: "One hundred taels." ”
Uncle Wu's originally drooping eyes suddenly widened.
"So, fifty taels?"
"Thirty taels?"
"Twenty-five taels, no less." The boy snapped his fingers, not knowing what he was counting.
"Five taels, no more!" Uncle Wu made the final decision.
"What?" The young man's originally sparkling eyes instantly dimmed when he heard the amount of silver.
"The master said that he couldn't give you money, even if I gave it to the young master, if it is not recorded in the account, it can't be more. Besides, there are a lot of children's toys on the street, and five taels of silver is enough to buy a bunch of them. Uncle Wu took out a piece of silver of five taels from his sleeve and handed it over.
Looking at Uncle Wu's expression, the young man knew that this amount would not increase again, and he would no longer be entangled, so he took the silver handed over by Uncle Wu, thanked Uncle Wu, turned around and left the house.
The boy greeted the light and waved his free hand on his head to signal goodbye. The light also circled around him lively, plating a layer of warm color around the boy in this cold day, making people can't help but want to get closer.
