Chapter 624: Letters
White lanterns are hung at the gate of Binh Duong Houfu, and white silk flowers are also draped on the gate. More than a dozen men in sackcloth were greeting guests at the door, and people from all over the world were talking and laughing, not looking like condolences at all.
As soon as he stepped into the gate of the Hou Mansion, the door shouted loudly: "Mr. Louguantai Mr. Su is here to ......!" The voice was long, and even the Mie courtyard could be heard clearly.
Han Yan hit a spirit, and the water bowl in his hand almost fell to the ground: "Who?" Who's coming? ”
The servant serving on the side hurriedly said, "It seems to be Mr. Su." ”
"Mr. Su? That Mr. Sue? ”
"Mr. Su from the Louguantai."
"Why is he here? What is he here for? Han Yan immediately got up and stood at the door to look at the front yard.
The servants didn't speak, but their hearts were full of heart, what could they do? Naturally, it is a condolence.
Han Yan looked at it for a long time, the front yard was messy, and the position he was in was not good, he only saw a slippery human head, and he didn't even find Su Ren's shadow. After thinking for a while, he immediately turned around and asked the slave, "What about the princess?" I want to see the princess immediately, the Queen Mother has a letter to forward, report quickly! ”
The slave didn't move: "The princess should be in the mourning hall, should Doctor Han wait?" ”
"Can't wait! Hurry up and report it! ”
The slave had no choice but to turn around and go out. Han Yan paced back and forth in the room, her hands rubbed red. He came to Pingyang the day before yesterday, and he planned to present the letter as soon as possible, but he felt that it was not suitable for Cao Shou's funeral. Moreover, Princess Pingyang was always reluctant to see him, which made Han Yan anxious, and when she heard Su Ren's name again, she felt that things were even more troublesome.
After a long time, Princess Pingyang not only did not come back, but even the slave who went to find someone disappeared. Han Yan hurriedly turned, stomped her feet, lifted her feet and walked out of the door, preparing to go to the mourning hall to find it in person.
A slave hurried out of the backyard. I don't know if I was in too much of a hurry or didn't see it, but I happened to bump into Han Yan's arms. The servant was startled and hurriedly fell to his knees. Han Yan was almost knocked down, clutching her sore chest, pointing at the slave kneeling on the ground and furious: "Blind? That's how the princess is, you slaves? If it's not an urgent matter today, I have to break your legs! ”
The slave lay on the ground in fright, weeping and kowtowing. Han Yan snorted coldly and ran towards the backyard.
Princess Pingyang stayed in the mourning hall for a while, entertained several important mourners, and then returned to the backyard to rest. Cao Shou and the concubine's son Cao Xiang are young, and everything can only be handled by Princess Pingyang herself. The huge Hou Mansion held a funeral for Pingyang, and there were naturally many and complicated things. He had just sat in the ashram for a moment when he heard a commotion outside.
Princess Pingyang frowned, and instructed her personal maidservant: "Go and see, who is making a loud noise in the Hou Mansion?" ”
The maidservant said yes and went out to check. There was not much time, and the maid came back: "Princess, it is the middle doctor Han Yan who is arguing with the domestic servants, and the domestic servants know that the princess is resting, so they are not allowed to come in, but he said that there is a letter written by the queen mother to the princess." ”
"The Queen's Letters?" Princess Pingyang thought slightly: "Let him in." ”
While Han Yan was tidying up her appearance, she didn't forget to stare at the servants who had just embarrassed him: "Hmph! A bunch of stupid people, this son is going in? ”
The servants stopped for a long time, and then faced the villain's face, with anger on their faces. Pingyang Hou Mansion is different from other Hou Mansions, it sounds like the mansion of Pingyang Hou Cao Shou, but it is actually the eldest princess who takes care of things. Han Yan, a middle doctor, was noisy at the funeral in Pingyang, and it was good that he was not beaten, but he even provoked.
Princess Pingyang did not wear filial piety clothes, although she was Cao Shou's wife, she was a princess. When Han Yan saw it, he hurriedly saluted: "Han Yan, the doctor in the courtiers, visited the princess, and a letter from the queen mother was submitted, please take a look at the princess." ”
Princess Pingyang didn't say anything, waiting for Han Yan to take out the letter. Han Yan's hand reached into his arms and groped for a long time, but it was empty, eagerly touching left and right, almost rummaging up and down his whole body, but he didn't find anything like letters. The sweat on his forehead came down, and he was obviously placed on his body, but why did it suddenly disappear. I rummaged with two hands, and almost took off my outer robe, but unfortunately I still didn't find it.
"What about the Queen's letters?" Princess Pingyang looked at Han Yan and asked softly.
Han Yan hurriedly knelt down: "I touched it on my body when I went out, this will, this will ......, it must have been stolen!" The minister remembered it, it was the cheap slave who hit me! ”
"Humph! What do you mean that there are thieves in the Hou Mansion? Princess Pingyang raised her eyebrows and glared at Han Yan.
"Princess Mingjian, the Queen Mother really asked her ministers to hand over the letter to the princess, it was really stolen!"
"Since it's the letter of the queen mother, you came yesterday, why don't you hand it over? Do you think that the letters of the queen mother are not important? ”
"The princess is angry, the minister ......"
A servant came in, lowered his head and moved to Princess Pingyang's side and whispered a few words. Princess Pingyang nodded slightly, turned her face to Han Yan and said, "The Queen Mother's letters can be lost, what do you want?" Come on, get out of the Hou Mansion. ”
The impatient domestic servants who had been waiting for a long time swarmed up, dragging their arms and pulling their legs, dragging Han Yan out like a dead dog in bursts of screams and shouts. When passing by the Moon Gate, Han Yan saw the person he least wanted to see.
Su Ren and Wei Qing walked side by side on the path, with a servant in front of them leading the way, compared to the evil servant beside Han Yan, this servant was much more polite. Although he was wearing filial piety clothes, the expression on his face was not cold. Pingyang Houfu Su Ren is the first time to come, in terms of the scenery is very ordinary, one word big. Walking from the mourning hall, I walked around for a long time and did not reach my destination.
Wei Qing had lived here before, but he had never been to the inner courtyard, when he was young, he was in the courtyard where the servants lived at the back, and he was sent to the horse farm when he was a little longer, and today was the first time he walked to such a place.
Su Ren stopped on the side of the road and watched with a smile as Han Yan was carried over. Han Yan lowered his head and said nothing, for fear that Su Ren would see the joke, but the more he was like this, the more Su Ren wanted to tease him.
"Roar! Isn't this Dr. Han? What's going on? Could it be that something was missing? Hehe! ”
Han Yan immediately reacted: "It's you!" You ......"
Su Ren smiled: "I really lost something!" It's a pity that this Hou Mansion is too big, I'm afraid it will be troublesome to find, and besides, the princess won't let an outsider rummage at home, so Doctor Han should mourn and change his ways. ”
"Su Ren, you actually stole the Queen Mother's holy message, I want to tell the Queen Mother, tell Your Majesty!"
Han Yan was dragged away, and Su Ren and Wei Qing returned to the road. Wei Qing glanced at Su Ren: "You stole the Queen Mother's letter?" ”
Su Ren said: "We have been together since the morning, when did I run to steal Han Yan's things?" You can't talk nonsense. ”
Wei Qing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What is written in the letter?" ”
"Ahem!" Su Ren coughed lightly: "You really want to know?" But I advise you not to know. ”
"Why?"
"No, it's even more uncomfortable to know."
The expression on Wei Qing's face began to be unnatural, and he nodded slightly and stopped talking.
Princess Pingyang was still in the original room, and she was stirred up by Han Yan, and her mood was even worse. The princess married Cao Shou at the age of sixteen, and her husband died in just a few years, leaving no man and half woman around, so she was a little worried about what to do in the future. Who are the people who came to mourn, the princess knows in her heart. It is not so much to mourn Cao Shou, but to say that this is the queen mother and younger brother choosing their next husband.
She believed that Han Yan really had the letter of the Queen Mother, and she also believed that it had been stolen, but she still wanted to know who the Queen Mother designated for her. It's a pity that there is no chance now.
"Chen Weiqing, grass people Su Ren, meet the princess!"
After a few years, Wei Qing and Su Ren have changed a lot. The improvement of identity and status has given the original hairy boy the heroic spirit of a teenager, especially Wei Qing's appearance and figure have completely grown, but the son dare not say that a shrewd and capable young man is still good, and with the general's robe, the more he looks at it, the more he feels that he is a good man.
"Ahem!" Su Ren coughed lightly and took out a piece of silk silk from his sleeve: "Princess, when the grass people just came in, I picked this up on the side of the road, and I vaguely saw the seal, it must be something from Her Royal Highness the Princess, and I specially sent it over." ”
The maidservant hurriedly took it and handed it to Princess Pingyang. Princess Pingyang only glanced at it, then raised her head and said, "Does Mr. Su still like to mess around so much?" ”
"Today is the death day of Pingyang, the kid doesn't dare to make a mistake!"
After reading the silk silk at a glance and ten lines, Princess Pingyang gently put it away and put it in her sleeve: "Thank you two for coming to mourn your deceased husband, you are also old friends, how about staying for dinner?" ”
Wei Qing was just about to speak, but Su Ren preemptively gave a salute: "Thank you so much princess!" ”
It was just after noon, and dinner was still early. The two big men and the princess couldn't stay too long, and after a few words, they were taken out by the servants. Not far away is the guest room, where Su Ren and Wei Qing are placed, and their own servants bring water and pastries to entertain them. The bustle in the front yard has been weakened a lot here, at least the heart-rending fake cries are inaudible.
Wei Qing thought for a while and came to Su Ren's side: "Brother Su, what is written in the Queen Mother's letter?" ”
Su Ren poured a glass of water, took it up and took a sip: "I really want to know?" ”
Wei Qing nodded: "Since you said that the queen mother chose the future husband for the princess, I want to know who he is?" Who is so lucky. ”
Su Ren looked at Wei Qing and said seriously: "If you want, I can think of a way." ”
Wei Qing shook his head and smiled helplessly: "I'm just a Houfu Manu, how can I be worthy of the princess?" ”
"What's wrong with Manu? Gao Zu was still a ruffian before! As long as you tell me if you want to or don't want to? Don't think too much, just say whatever you want! ”
Wei Qing hesitated for a long time, seeing that Su Ren's appearance was not a joke, he took a deep breath and nodded emphatically: "The princess has a great favor to my Wei family, and I Wei Qing has nothing to repay in this life, I only ask the princess to be safe and happy, and I am willing to take care of her for a lifetime!" If you break your promise, people and gods will be angry! ”
Su Ren's eyes widened, he looked at Wei Qing and swore an oath, and suddenly laughed: "Okay, with your strength, you are better than Han Yan and Xiahou Po!" ”
