Chapter 197: Wan'er enters the palace
After carefully sending off Princess Taiping, Li Xian still took the time to go to Shangguan Wan'er's mansion, but this time the person he was looking for was not Shangguan Wan'er, but Shangguan Wan'er's mother, Mrs. Zheng. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although the time Li Xian chose was during the day, he entered after the disguise, mainly because he still had a few words to solemnly explain about Wan'er's entry into the palace to serve the Empress Wu.
But at this time, Shangguan Wan'er's mansion was already heavily guarded, and it was not easy for anyone to enter.
So when Li Xian just came to the gate, he was blocked by the guards at the gate: "What person?" Don't take a long look, this is Shangguan Mansion, how can ordinary people enter? ”
Li Xian was not afraid when he heard this, arched his hand, and said with a smile: "This brother, Zai is a distant nephew of Madame, this time I heard that my aunt left the court and was ordered to come to congratulate her, hehe, here is a post, this brother only needs to give it to Madame, and Madame will understand everything." ”
After finishing speaking, Li Xian stuffed a prayer post into the guard's hand, and at the same time, there was a small ingot of gold in the worship post, which was enough for five taels.
The guard only received the greeting at first, but he sneered on his face: "In the past few days, my wife has met many mothers' families who have come to visit, but all of them have been rejected by my wife. Now this person, the thinness of his eyelids is really amazing, as the so-called poor in the downtown no one asks, rich in the mountains have distant relatives...... Hey? Hehe, this Lang Jun, the villain is not talking about you, you wait a minute, the villain will tell Mrs. immediately. ”
The main reason why the guard was so stubborn was that he had touched something in his hand, and he could confirm it by its shape and hardness that the thing in his hand must be a piece of gold, about five taels!
"This is a huge fortune, this Lang Jun is really generous, just a rumor, he has rewarded so much wealth, a generous person like this Lang Jun is really rare."
The guard, fearing that Li Xian would regret not using him anymore, immediately ran into the mansion with the prayer note like crazy.
Despite this, the guard did not believe that Madame would invite the so-called distant nephew in, after all, putting aside the impostor, even if the nephew arrived, with Madame's temper, he would never let him in easily.
"Alas, although this gentleman is generous, but this time I am afraid that I will be disappointed, Madame's temper is very strange, even if I accept your benefits, I will never dare to touch this bad head."
The guard came to the inner house with a nervous face, and was very worried in his heart, for fear that his wife would scold him for not being able to do things, but because of the five taels of gold, he still sent the worship note to his wife in person.
But I didn't expect the lady to say immediately after reading the prayer post: "Quick, please come in, no, I'll go and meet you in person, what are you doing in a daze?" Why don't you come with me? ”
"Oh, yes, yes." The guard saw that Mrs. not only allowed the person to come in, but also brought the word "please", and this was already big news, but I didn't expect Mrs. to say something even more shocking, to greet him in person!
"This, this, is what I just heard true? Madame personally greets you? What kind of identity should this distant nephew be, and he is worthy of his wife's welcome? Although the current young lady is only a small five-grade official, but because she is serving the queen of heaven and is ordered to be in charge of the edict, it can be said that she is a terrifyingly powerful existence, as her mother, even if Mrs. Zheng meets the prime minister of the dynasty, there is no reason to greet her, but now she is just going out to greet an ordinary distant nephew in person, such a courtesy is really shocking. ”
The guard was deeply shocked, and hurriedly followed Madame Zheng to the gate of the mansion to greet her.
After a while, I saw Mrs. Zheng leading the guards to the gate of the mansion.
But when he saw the mysterious "distant nephew", he immediately stepped forward and saluted: "The little nephew has seen his aunt, but I don't know if my aunt has always been good?" ”
Mrs. Zheng gradually restrained the excitement in her heart, nodded and said, "It turned out that the virtuous nephew had arrived, hehe, the virtuous nephew came all the way, why didn't you say anything?" The old body has lost his welcome, and he hopes to forgive his sins, this is not the place to speak, go, follow the old body to the house to speak. ”
After saying that, Madame Zheng personally led the man to the hall, and dismissed all the attendants, even the most intimate maid was driven out.
This made the guard who sent the prayer post for Mrs. Zheng even more shocked, if it wasn't for the eye socket to support, it is estimated that the eyeballs would have fallen to the ground countless times.
However, it was said that Mrs. Zheng took Li Xian to the hall, and after retiring all the attendants, she bowed to Li Xian and said, "I don't know where the humble husband's letter mentioned in this gentleman's prayer post is?" ”
But I saw that the man wiped his face and said, "Mrs. Zheng, who do you think I am?" ”
"It turned out that King Zhou was here, no wonder, the concubine still thought it was ......" Although Mrs. Zheng didn't say it, the meaning was obvious, and she thought that Li Xian told others the news that Shangguan Tingzhi was still alive, and asked others to send the letter on her behalf.
Although Mrs. Zheng believed that the person chosen by Li Xian must be a confidant, she did not want anyone other than Li Xian to contact her about the matter of Shangguan Tingzhi.
"I don't know if the king has any advice for coming this time?" Mrs. Zheng saw that Li Xian had avoided Shangguan Wan'er and came to find her, knowing that she must have something important to say, so she took the initiative to ask.
Li Xian arched his hand when he heard this: "Xiao Wang is here, first, to celebrate Wan'er has finally taken the first step, Mrs. has worked hard for 14 years to raise her, and finally succeeded, I believe that as long as Wan'er is cautious and works hard in the future, she will definitely achieve extraordinary achievements in the future, and the revival of the Shangguan family is expected; This second is naturally to personally present the letter signed by Shangguan. ”
After finishing speaking, Li Xian took out a letter from his sleeve and solemnly handed it to Mrs. Zheng.
Mrs. Zheng took the letter with both hands, but she didn't look at it, and opened her mouth to ask: "The concubine knows that the king came to the cold house today, and there must be important things to order. ”
Li Xian hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't dare to take the order, Xiao Wang just reminded his wife not to tell Wan'er about the official signing." ”
"Why is that? The concubine is about to tell Wan'er about this, if Wan'er learns that her father is still alive, and has received such a great favor from the king, she will repay it wholeheartedly in the future, after all, my family of three has inherited the king's great favor for many years, and now Wan'er has arrived at the queen's side to take charge of the edict, it is the time to repay the favor, but why didn't the king let the concubine tell Wan'er about it? ”
Mrs. Zheng's face was full of puzzlement, but she heard Li Xian sigh: "Madame is not unaware, although my mother appreciates talents, and can also be reused, but she is quite suspicious. There will be resentment towards the queen mother, coupled with the heart of repaying the kindness of Xiao Wang, will definitely reveal the line of hiding, although she herself is not aware of it, but it is also likely to be noticed by the queen mother, and then it will be deposed at the very least, and there may be a worry about her life if it is serious. If you don't know about Shangguan's signing, you can do things for your mother loyally, and you will naturally be able to gain trust over time, and if Wan'er learns about Shangguan's signing again, she won't be suspected by her mother. ”
When Mrs. Zheng heard this, she immediately felt a shock all over her body, and said deeply: "If it weren't for the king's words today, Wan'er would have died, and the king's grace for Wan'er's protection, the concubine would never forget, and the king's words and concubines understood, before Wan'er won the absolute trust of the queen of heaven, the concubine would never tell her about her clumsy husband." ”
"Madame is serious, this matter is not only for Wan'er, but also for Xiao Wang himself? This is over, Xiao Wang should also say goodbye, Wan'er entered the palace with her mother, in order to avoid suspicion, Xiao Wang is also inconvenient to send, I have some gifts here, I will send someone to send them later, and ask Mrs. to forward. ”
After Li Xian finished speaking, he took out a gift slip and handed it to Mrs. Zheng, then turned around and left.
After Mrs. Zheng sent Li Xian away, she took out the gift sheet and was shocked, because the list above are all precious pearls and jade, powder, and many rare books, Zihao pens, Xuanzhou paper, Huzhou inkstone, and the total price is millions of dollars!
"This, this, my family of three has already received so much great favor from King Zhou, and today I actually sent a lot of valuables, this favor is really as heavy as Mount Tai, and my family is afraid that it will be difficult for this generation to repay clearly." Mrs. Zheng's heart was moved, but the huge debt of human affection was pressed on her head, which made her heart really unbearable.
But later, Mrs. Zheng finally figured it out: "Anyway, the debt we owe to King Zhou is difficult to pay off, and we don't care about this more, just try our best to repay King Zhou, in fact, since the moment Xianggong was saved by King Zhou, our family has been engraved with the mark of King Zhou's subordinates, unless Wan'er and I refuse to recognize each other, otherwise we are destined to be tied to King Zhou in this life, one is prosperous, one is lost, as for Wan'er, sooner or later, she will be promised to King Zhou. Thinking about it, with this girl's talent and appearance, King Zhou is also difficult to refuse, right? ”
At this time, Shangguan Wan'er didn't know that she had been secretly sold to Li Xian by her mother, and now after the interpretation of the Empress Wu, she finally stood out, and was able to serve the Empress Wu, take charge of the edict, and achieve the first start in her life.
"This time, I am not only for the rise of the family, but also for the person in my heart, as long as I can help him, no matter how difficult things are, I will be duty-bound." (To be continued.) )
