Chapter 385: The Hound Presents a Painting
Chu Huan was having a headache, but Mo Lingshuang's heart began to settle down.
When Yunshan was suddenly taken away, Mo Lingshuang once thought that she was being kidnapped, but in the following days, the people she came into contact with were all respectful and respectful to her, without a trace of neglect, no matter what they ate or wear, they were extremely attentive.
Mo Lingshuang was scared at the beginning, but she slowly became puzzled, she didn't know what situation she had encountered, and after several twists and turns, she was even arranged to live in a secret place in the capital temporarily.
Although there are few people in contact, they are all very deferential to her without exception.
Mo Lingshuang Bingxue was smart, although she asked several times why this was the case but no one answered, but she knew that all this must have been arranged by someone in secret, and she couldn't be sure whether the people behind the scenes were really from a good intention, or if they had other plans.
She was in the Qinglou, her fate seemed to be doomed, and she was ready to accept that fate, but the trajectory of her life suddenly changed, which made her a little stunned.
These days, she has countless question marks in her mind, she doesn't know what her future will be, she can't be sure whether her next road is happy or unhappy, but she knows that fate is not in her own control, these days, what she hopes day and night is only to be able to understand the ins and outs of things earlier, to be able to determine what kind of life she will be in the future.
Until today, when she came to Chu Mansion, when she saw Chu Huan, her heart finally settled.
In her opinion, everything was obviously arranged by Chu Huan, she was rescued and sent to the capital, and the person behind all this was of course Chu Huan.
For Chu Huan, Mo Lingshuang naturally did not have the slightest disgust, but more of a sense of gratitude.
At the beginning, Chu Huan took action on the street to relieve his siege, and after that, he used flowers to help him win the championship in the Oiran election, allowing him to escape the catastrophe several times.
If everything was arranged by Chu Huan, Mo Lingshuang was really willing to accept such an arrangement in her heart, even if it was for Chu Huan to be a slave and a maid, Mo Lingshuang was willing in her heart.
Compared with the life she once had, if it weren't for Chu Huan, she would definitely fall into a miserable situation with a little cherry lips, for her, it was undoubtedly a hellish life, when she was about to enter hell, it was Chu Huan who dragged herself out alive, compared to that kind of life, being able to be a maid on Chu Huan's side is already a very happy life.
When Chu Huan and Sun Desheng were talking outside, Mo Lingshuang's heart was always nervous, although Chu Huan kept smiling just now, but Mo Lingshuang shrewdly caught a strange look from Chu Huan's eyes, that look made Mo Lingshuang very worried, that look seemed to be very surprised by Mo Lingshuang's arrival, Mo Lingshuang didn't understand why this happened, if everything was arranged by Chu Huan, then Chu Huan would not show that look.
She was even a little scared now, afraid that Chu Huan would not take her in, she couldn't imagine that if Chu Huan couldn't take her in, what kind of place would she have to go?
She stood in the main hall, her hands twisted together, her heart was very uneasy, until Sun Desheng came back and asked her to stay and wait for Chu Huan, Mo Lingshuang's heart really fell.
Chu Huan bid farewell to Sun Desheng and returned to the hall, Mo Lingshuang stood next to him with his head down, very nervous, Chu Huan was also a little embarrassed, hesitated, finally thought of something, picked up the package in his hand, and said with a smile: "This is your salute, well, don't be afraid, there is no one else here, in the whole mansion, only you and I ......!" After saying this, he suddenly regretted it, and when he said this, Mo Lingshuang was afraid that he would be even more nervous.
Mo Lingshuang hurriedly took the burden, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Chu ...... Lord Chu ......! ”
Chu Huan hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "Miss Lingshuang, I'm just a sesame mung bean official, and I can't afford to be an adult." In this way, if the girl is willing, she can call me big brother in the future. ”
Mo Lingshuang was a little flustered and said, "No...... Can't. Thinking in his heart, now that he is her maid, the eldest brother must not be called, according to the rules, he should be called a master, his red lips moved, and his voice was extremely soft: "Chu ...... Master Chu! ”
Chu Huan only felt unspeakably awkward when he heard this, he was trying to dissuade him, but suddenly thought that in the future, Wang Fu's cadres might come over, and even as he stayed in Beijing for a long time, there would be many other people coming, if Mo Lingshuang called himself "big brother", it would make people feel strange.
It is necessary to know that the door of the real mansion, as soon as you enter the door, it is equivalent to a small country, and it has a very strict level from top to bottom, and now Mo Lingshuang is facing a maid that King Qi sent Sun Desheng to buy and give to himself, if a maid is asked to call the master "big brother", this is nothing in Chu Huan's opinion, but in the eyes of outsiders, it is an earth-shattering thing.
Although this "master" sounds really awkward, but from the actual effect, it is very compliant, at least someone will really come to see it in the future, so it will not make people suspicious.
He hesitated, nodded slightly, and said: "Ling Shuang, I've been suffering for a while, since I've come here, let's settle down here first, don't dare to say anything else, but if I can have a bite to eat, I won't miss you." ”
Chu Huan was pleasant, Mo Lingshuang's nervous heart relaxed slightly, and a smile finally appeared on her delicate face, this was the first time she showed a smile in a long time, she was beautiful and beautiful, her beautiful eyes were slightly curved like a crescent moon, and her voice was still respectful: "Chu ...... Sir, I'll do the laundry and cook...... Well, slaves and maids will be, and slaves and maids will definitely serve well in the future, and there will be no mistakes. ”
Chu Huan was stunned, scratched his sideburns, and said, "Ling Shuang, actually...... You don't have to be so restrained. After a pause, he said softly: "In this way, if there are outsiders in the house, you can call me master, if there are no outsiders, only we are at home, you ...... You don't have to be so restrained, just treat me as your big brother. ”
Seeing Chu Huan's soft voice, Mo Lingshuang lowered her head and bowed slightly.
Chu Huan said again: "Actually, I only moved in this house yesterday, and I am not very familiar with it. I now live in the courtyard to the east, and there are many houses in the house, so you can choose a room where you want to live. Thinking of something, he said: "By the way, I still have to go to the yamen, I can't delay, Ling Shuang, you are familiar with it yourself at home now, it is estimated that you are more familiar with the situation in the house than me." ”
Mo Lingshuang smiled and nodded, "The slave knows." Although the old man went on an errand, Ling Shuang knew what to do. ”
Chu Huan took out two ingots of silver from his body and put them on the table, and said, "You take this silver first, I'm not in the house, if you want anything urgent, it's convenient to have silver on your body." He didn't have time to elaborate, smiled slightly, and went out.
It had been delayed for a while, and I couldn't eat breakfast at breakfast, so I rode to the yamen, sat down and made a cup of tea first, and my stomach was a little hungry, so I could only fill my stomach with tea first.
Du Zhicao's affairs are not leisurely, there are a lot of things in the morning, Chu Huan slowly adapted to deal with it, took a principal and a judge, the right chief is still vacant, and the remaining five judges are staring at this position, which makes these five people dare not slack off, and compete secretly, even if they are lazy on weekdays, but at this time, they are quick and handle things more neatly.
Chu Huan walked Dou Yi, in the hearts of everyone, they only felt that this young master not only had good means, but I was afraid that he was really favored by the emperor, so Chu Huan asked some things, and several judges were vying to answer, hoping to leave a good impression on Chu Huan.
The operation of the whole country's revenue and expenditure is clear in the degree of branch Cao, through the degree of branch Cao, you can clearly grasp the economic situation of a country, it is really difficult to understand it, after all, no matter the income and expenditure, it involves too many aspects, Chu Huanxin also knows that in this degree of branch Cao has not been able to adapt to each year and a half, and many things are really difficult to sort out.
After lunch, Chu Huan was drinking afternoon tea, when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, and a voice said with a little respect: "Lord Chu, Lord Chu is here?" ”
Chu Huan felt that the voice was a little familiar, got up and went out, but saw a tall official coming towards him, the official saw Chu Huan, and immediately walked over quickly, with a friendly smile on his face, holding a thing in his hand, a long scroll, and said loudly: "Lord Chu, Feng Mou is here to disturb, don't blame!" ”
The person who came turned out to be Feng Yuanpo, the governor of Hexi Province.
Chu Huan was a little surprised, he also knew that Feng Yuanpo was going to discuss with the household department about the establishment of the Northern Xinjiang Trade Ground in Northern Xinjiang, but this kind of thing, in fact, there was no need to contact Du Zhicao for the time being, mainly to discuss with the household department, but this Feng Yuanpo came to his side, which made Chu Huan a little surprised, but he still smiled and said: "It turned out to be Lord Feng, rare guests, please come in, please come in!" ”
This Feng Yuanpo is a feudal official, a governor, in terms of identity, he is only higher than Chu Huan, but in front of Chu Huan, he is very humble like a lower official, and after entering the house, after sitting down, Chu Huan is master smiled first: "Lord Feng came here today, I don't know what to see?" By the way, has the matter of the Northern Xinjiang Trade Ground been properly discussed with the minister? ”
Feng Yuanpo said with a smile: "Hu Butang is a vigorous and resolute person, I came here in the morning, and in the morning, Hu Butang has already given proper instructions on how to establish the Northern Xinjiang Trade Field. I, Feng Yuanpo, am a rough man, I only know how to lead troops to fight, and I really don't know what to pay attention to in the trade field, to put it in my heart, if it weren't for preventing the barbarians from infiltrating the spies, Feng was really unwilling to take this matter. ”
Chu Huan remained silent and said with a smile: "Lord Feng is dedicated to the country, and the court knows it." ”
Feng Yuanpo waved his hand and said, "Lord Chu has won the prize." The saint is kind to my Feng family, and I Feng Yuan is a reckless man, and I don't know anything else, but I just guard the north gate for the saint. ”
Chu Huan nodded slightly, and said, "The safety of the north is tied to Lord Feng." ”
"Lord Chu, I came here today mainly to say goodbye to you, and I will leave for Hexi tomorrow." Feng Yuan said: "When I saw Lord Chu in the Iron Blood Garden that day, Feng always had a sense of familiarity at first sight, and later I heard that Lord Chu was proud of the Iron Blood Garden that day, Feng heard that he was really enthusiastic, but it was a pity that he was a step late and couldn't see the heroic appearance of Lord Chu." I, Feng Yuanpo, was born in a martial arts, and I respect a hero, a hero like Lord Chu, if Feng can't make friends, he will definitely have trouble sleeping! ”
His expression was sincere, his eyes were sincere, and he didn't seem to be lying to him.
Chu Huan waved his hand and smiled: "Lord Feng made fun of it, it's just a fluke, it's just a fluke!" ”
"You can't say that." Feng Yuanpo said: "Lord Chu, Feng has always felt that there is no real luck in this world, the existence of luck is based on strength, with enough strength, it is possible to have luck, without power, what will come can only be bad luck." ”
"Strength?"
Feng Yuanpo nodded and said: "Lord Chu doesn't know, the world was in turmoil back then, Feng and his father were in trouble, in order to survive, they scattered their family wealth and pulled a team of hundreds of people. At that time, there were many heroes, there were many mountains, and there were seven or eight teams in the small piece of land where my father and I were located, I was still young at that time, but in that environment, I understood a truth, if you want to live, you have to be stronger than others, so I use the knife desperately, and I Feng Yuanpo has always been unwilling to be the queen. At that time, several people and horses fought hard, and in the end, our father and son flattened the other people, which is called strength, and at that time, the holy iron horse swept over and took in our father and son, which is called luck. If my father and I had not survived and had been destroyed by others before the arrival of the Holy One, then our strength would have been weak, and the luck of receiving the favor of the Holy One would have ceased to exist. ”
Chu Huan bowed slightly: "Lord Feng's words made Zai Mao pause!" ”
"Hahaha......!" Feng Yuanpo laughed heartily and said, "Lord Chu is powerful in the Iron Blood Garden, this is the strength, with such strength, why worry about not having good luck in the future?" Feng will leave Beijing tomorrow, and if he says anything today, he will come over to see Lord Chu and say goodbye to Lord Chu. In the future, if Lord Chu really has the opportunity to go to Hexi, Feng will definitely go out of the city thirty miles to greet him! ”
Chu Huan said repeatedly: "Lord Feng has raised love, raised love!" ”
Feng Yuanpo handed over the scroll he brought, and said: "Lord Chu, some people say that the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, I, Feng Yuanpo, am a rough person, I don't know those false tricks, there is a painting here, and please Lord Chu laugh!" ”
"It's not going to work." Chu Huan waved his hand.
Feng Yuan said: "Feng understands that Lord Chu is worried that someone will say that the Beijing official and the foreign official are close, is he afraid that others will say that Feng is giving a gift?" Lord Chu don't worry, this is just a very ordinary painting, it's not worth a few silver, I just want to make Lord Chu a friend, just leave a thought, if Lord Chu really looks down on Feng, don't accept it! ”
Chu Huan thought about it, took the scroll, and arched his hand: "In this way, I can only accept it with shame!" ”
Feng Yuanpo laughed, looked very happy, and got up, "Lord Chu, Feng knows that you are a busy person, so you don't dare to disturb more, so let's leave first." If he had the chance, he would definitely have a few drinks with Lord Chu! He arched his hand and said, "Farewell!" ”
Chu Huan sent him out of the door, returned to the house, and opened the scroll, but it was a landscape painting, Chu Huan didn't understand the painting, he just felt that it was a few years, and he rolled it up again.
