Chapter Forty-Eight: A Small Gathering in the Teahouse
It came too suddenly, so that he and his eldest brother were no longer brothers, although he had not been in this world for a long time, but he changed his identity and family blood so casually, which made it difficult for Wujin to accept it for a while.
"Old prince, let me think about it again."
Huangfu Jiang could understand his feelings, he smiled, "Actually, you don't have to worry too much, this is just a matter of rights, once we succeed, we will restore your original identity, this is also the wish of all of us, you should consider it." ”
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and the housekeeper reported at the door, "Master, there are two girls surnamed Su outside looking for Wujin Gongzi." ”
Wu Jin was stunned, not good! This must be Xiao Lori and Jiutian, this is not good, there are people outside watching, if Huang Fuheng or Uncle Shen knows that they have a relationship with him, it will put them in danger.
He immediately said to Huangfu Jiang: "Please do the old prince a favor and let Baozhu lead them away, so that the watchdog can't suspect their relationship with me." ”
Huangfu Jiang smiled slightly, "It's okay, I'll let Baozhu lead them into my mansion, and no one dares to mess around." ”
"But....." Wu Jin thought of Chen Ying again.
Huangfu Jiang suddenly understood Wu Jin's difficulty, and he laughed, "That's it! I asked Baozhu to take them to wait for you in Qilu Teahouse, you wait a while and then go to see them, anyway, Huangfu Heng will value you more in the future, you don't have to worry too much. ”
Wu Jin also felt that he was a little too grassy, so he nodded and smiled: "Thank you for your concern." ”
....... At this time, it was already dusk, Jiutian and Su Yi were anxiously waiting outside the palace of Lanling County, they found an excuse to sneak out of the house, and Su Yi, Jiutian's mood was also the same nervous and excited, she did not expect that Wujin would enter Beijing, this news surprised her very much, she also thought about returning to Donghai County with her cousin in a few months.
"Sister Han, how could Brother Wujin live in the Junwang Mansion?" Sue asked, puzzled.
Jiutian shook his head, "I don't know either." ”
Her mind was a little confused, she was thinking about how to explain their book to Wu Jin, she had never paid attention to why Wu Jin lived in the County King's Mansion, and now she didn't pay attention to it.
After waiting for a while, Wu Jin hadn't come out yet, and Su Yi couldn't help but ask, "Sister Han, is Brother Wu Jin still angry?" They won't see us. ”
Su Yi has always been a little haunted by the last time they didn't see them.
"No, you're thinking too much."
Jiutian comforted her, "The palace is very big, and it takes time to walk back and forth. ”
At this time, the door opened, Baozhu came out of it, she was ordered by her grandfather to come out to help, she was a little unhappy in her heart, she stepped forward and said lukewarmly to the Su family sisters: "Wujin has something to do for the time being, I will take you to another place to wait for him." ”
"What's the matter with Brother Wujin?" Sue asked curiously.
"Yimei, don't ask."
Jiutian felt the coldness in Baozhu's tone, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, although she didn't know why Wujin couldn't come to see them immediately, but this was the palace, the royal superiority in Baozhu's heart that was difficult to conceal made her have a kind of condescension in both her words and eyes, and Jiutian was sensitive, she felt this disrespect for her, so she gave a salute and replied with an attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant: "Since Wujin has something to do and is inconvenient, then we will come back another day." ”
She nodded to the orb, "Thank you, girl!" ”
She pulled Su Yi and left, Baozhu was stunned, although she was a little unhappy in her heart, but if the guests were really driven away by her, then she couldn't eat and walk around, although her grandfather loved her, but it was terrible to start a fire, she was so frightened that she hurriedly stepped forward to laugh: "Miss Su misunderstood, I am not rude, Wujin really can't come out." ”
She whispered to Jiutian, "Wujin is in danger. ”
Jiutian was startled, Wu Jin was in danger, that was another matter, she said nervously: "What happened to him, does it matter?" ”
"It doesn't matter if you're in the palace for the time being, you come with me."
A trace of dissatisfaction in Jiutian's heart disappeared without a trace at this moment, and she and Su Yi got into the carriage with Baozhu, and the carriage drove away slowly.
At the entrance of the alley about a hundred steps away in the distance, a man dressed in black stared at the gate of the Lanling Palace, there were three of them, staring at the front and back gates of the Lanling Palace, they were the guards sent by Huangfu Heng to monitor Wujin, and they were monitoring day and night.
The man in black also saw the Su family sisters, but they were too far away to hear what they said, and soon, the county lord of Jinyang came out, said a few words to them, and then got into the carriage and left together, the man in black did not take them to heart, and continued to monitor the palace.
Qilu teahouse is not far from Lanling Wangfu, about 500 steps apart, at this time just after dinner time, it is the best time for the teahouse business, people come and go in the teahouse, quite lively, Baozhu is very familiar with here, she said hello to the guys, and took their sisters to the second floor, to find a secluded seat by the window to sit down.
Jiutian had always been a little worried in her heart, so she sat down and asked, "Miss Baozhu, what happened to Wujin?" He was in danger. ”
Baozhu is not very old after all, and she is a straightforward surname, she said without concealment: "I don't know the specifics, there are a lot of things after he entered Beijing, he is now the captain of the Meihua Guard, and he may be involved in the power struggle between the prince and Uncle Shen." ”
Jiutian was startled, Wujin was involved in the power struggle between the prince and Uncle Shen, how could this be? He was just a small businessman in Donghai County, and how could he become the captain of the Plum Blossom Guard, this change was incredible, what happened?
"Miss Baozhu, can you elaborate?"
Baozhu asked for some refreshments, and said to Jiutian: "Anyway, he is coming, you can ask him later, he is here......"
Baozhu saw Wu Jin walking up to the second floor at a glance, and Su Yi also saw Wu Jin, she beckoned happily, "Brother Wu Jin, this way!" This way! ”
Wu Jin came out of the secret passage of the Lanling Palace, and the people who monitored him could not find his whereabouts at all, at this time, Wu Jin also saw the Su family sisters, and he walked over with a smile.
"I'm so sorry, I can only see you here!"
Su Yi hurriedly sat down inside and gave him a seat, "Brother Wujin, sit next to me!" ”
She is still young, and she can't understand the worries in Jiutian's heart, she is bored in the capital, and suddenly seeing Wujin is her happiest time.
"Good! I sat next to Yi Mei'er. ”
Wu Jin sat down with a smile, and asked the guy for some refreshments, at this time, Jiutian's beautiful eyes were looking at him faintly, her eyes were full of worry about him, she had a lot to ask, but she didn't know where to ask for a while...... Su Yi didn't have any thoughts, she asked wherever she wanted, and a pair of big eyes flickered and blinked, "Brother Wujin, I heard that you are an official?" ”
"Nothing to be an official!"
Wu Jin smiled and waved his hand, and said very lightly: "I happened to meet the recruitment of Meihuawei, so I signed up, and the result was lucky, I scored very high in the exam, so I became a school captain, in fact, I was a gangster." ”
"Then you can't go back to Donghai County?"
Su Yi asked again, this is also the thing she cares about the most, in fact, Jiutian is also very concerned, but she didn't say it, her sister asked all for her, and she knew that Wu Jin just said that she had entered the plum blossom guard, and she could only coax a little lady like her sister, how could it be so easy.
Wu Jin glanced at Jiutian and saw that her eyes were full of concern, knowing that she was also concerned about this issue, but this question was really not easy to answer and answer, he would definitely return to Donghai County, but just now things changed again, and after he was about to become the King of Liang again, he didn't know how it would develop later.
He smiled bitterly, "I have to go back after all, my property is in Weiyang County, and I can't leave it behind." ”
Baozhu is very smart, she has seen that there is a little concern between Jiutian and Wujin, Jiutian and Wujin both want to talk alone, but this little girl is not sensible and always grabs the topic, so she pulled Su Yi over and asked her about Donghai County, and quickly pulled Su Yi's attention over.
"Wu Jin!"
Jiutian finally spoke, "How serious is the danger you encounter, maybe I can help you." ”
Jiutian helped herself, nothing more than to ask her grandfather to come forward, although it was unrealistic, Wujin was still full of gratitude in his heart, only Jiutian still cared about him, that was the best help for him.
"Nine days, the matter is not so serious, I am just a small person, what kind of storm can I make, the so-called danger is just that I beat the son of Huangfu Yibiao, they want to take revenge on me, the king of Lanling County is already helping me coordinate this matter, the turmoil will subside soon, you don't have to worry."
Wu Jin didn't want to talk about it more, so he changed the topic and asked her with a smile, "Let's talk about the story!" I went to a bookstore today, and the guy in the store said that the Monkey King's book was banned in the capital, what happened? ”
This matter was the most painful thing in Jiutian, she didn't know how to say it to Wu Jin, seeing that since he asked, she had to say, she sighed, "It was my grandfather who ordered the capital not to sell this book!" ”
"Why?"
Wu Jin was stunned, his heart turned, and he suddenly understood a little, so he smiled and said, "Is it because this book alludes to the imperial court?" ”
Jiutian nodded lightly, "That's what grandfather meant, he said that the Heavenly Palace is the imperial court, Sun Wukong was born in mud and stone, which is an allusion to the peasants, and making trouble in the Heavenly Palace refers to the peasants rebelling and overthrowing the imperial court." ”
Wujin couldn't help but praise Su Xun for his eyesight, and he could see that Journey to the West itself is a book that satirizes reality through gods and monsters, and Su Xun is actually right.
"But this is a children's book, and your grandfather was too careful."
"That's it!" Jiutian frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Actually, I also think that my grandfather is making a big fuss, obviously it is a book read by children, and it has nothing to do with Chengren, and other court officials don't take it to heart, he just found out a lot of things from the book, saying that he was insinuating officialdom and scolded me fiercely." ”
"What did your grandfather find out?" Wu Jin asked with interest.
"He said that the giant spirit god was pretending to be defeated, in order to contrast the bravery of Prince Nezha, but he was actually patting the ass of Li Jing, the king of Tota."
"It's kind of interesting!"
Wu Jin didn't expect Su Xun to be quite discerning, he smiled and asked again: "What else?" ”
