Chapter 205 - Sleepless Night

A lengthy imperial meeting has finally come to an end.

The Manchu and Han people who were allowed to "disperse" by grace, under the guidance of Wu Liangfu, hurriedly left the palace, and then the right gate, and then out of the Longzong gate, which was regarded as the critical place of the palace after leaving the inner court~ palace.

"My lords, the old slave is here. Your Excellency has worked hard, but you should go back early to rest. The government is working hard, and only when you have a good rest can you share the worries of the master......"

The old eunuch who "stood on the pile" behind the emperor all night was not tired, but instructed the ministers very earnestly.

"Hehe, Lao Wu, you are also hard. Hurry back, didn't the master leave a few secret discussions? It was the "old man" Wu Bai who spoke, and he was also polite. Everyone followed with their fists and said goodbye to the great eunuch beside the emperor.

Seeing more than a dozen adults slowly disappear into the night under the escort of the deacons and soldiers of the Longzong Sect, Wu Liangfu turned around and followed with a sound-

"Humph!"

"Master Wu, you have worked so hard, why are you so polite to them? You are a celebrity in front of the master, they should give you a few words of comfort! Filial piety is due......" It was a small eunuch carrying a lantern within half a step in front of Wu Liangfu.

"What do you little bunny know? Can our family be polite to them? Didn't remind them to go home and sleep honestly, just don't give me any moths! "Wu Liangfu is very much a sycophancy of the little eunuch, but he stops there.

"Huh? How dare they disobey you? They ...... "The little eunuch received encouragement from his immediate superior, and couldn't help but look back and want to continue flattering."

"Silence! Look at the road! Wu Liangfu lowered his voice and scolded. The face is pale.

"Huh!" Frightened, the little eunuch hurriedly turned around, and the cat lowered his body to lead the way.

"Alas!"

Wu Liangfu only gave another tone particle, but whispered in his heart: I remind you so much, but how many of you will honestly go back and get into the bed?

Several adults who had been meeting overnight walked in the dark palace city, and next to three or five people was a guard carrying a palace lamp. None of the group said anything, and in the silent night, they could only hear the footsteps of "brushing, brushing, brushing", as if even this dark night. I'm almost asleep.

Soon. Finally came to Xihua Gate.

"Boom! - Knock! Boom! "One slow and two fast taps.

Everyone had long been accustomed to the quiet surroundings, and suddenly heard the sound of the watch, and they unconsciously looked back. It turned out that a small group of watchmen passed by, and shouted in a pinched voice as they walked:

"At the third watch [11 o'clock]. Midnight has arrived. The weather is dry. Beware of the ...... candles."

"Ladies and gentlemen. The Xihua Gate has arrived. Walking! I don't send it! ”

One of the military academy generals who led the escort finished inspecting the plaque and the person guarding the door, and gave a clean military salute and said no more.

"Alright. Thank you, Junmen! Hu Shi'an took the lead in greetings. It's okay to speak loudly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the old man is farewell! I'm sleepy, I'm really sleepy, let's go back and rest early......" Wu Bai also raised his hand and saluted, and did something hastily.

"Don't do it! Rest early...... "Everyone gave up their hands one after another, and went out of Xihua Gate. There were officials and servants who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and they rubbed their sleepy eyes, cheered up and greeted them, and then looked for their own masters, and whispered to the palanquin man behind them.

"Master, let's go home?" The one who spoke was the official family of Colquin, the squire of the military department.

"Let's go up and talk about it! Ladies and gentlemen, walk slowly......"

Colcoin hugged his fists at the officials who had entered the sedan car from a distance, and did not look back and whispered a lecture. finally waited for everyone in the Manchu and Han to slowly move away, and then turned around and got into his small sedan chair very neatly.

"Go back to what house! Go to the Ao Gong Mansion! Colcoin whispered.

"Huh!"

"You did a good job, when you were at supper, the little palace maid pressed a note under the bowl, and Ao Gong really waited. Hehe, that note tastes good, how did you manage this errand? ”

"Master, that little note, it's enough to buy five or six girls. The housekeeper of the imperial dining room, the servant, gave a hundred taels of silver, and asked her to write with a note made of abalone juice, so that the master could not choke on it! And I only told her to write one word - eight halos, which has something to do with eating, so as not to make her suspicious. She really thinks you have eight kinds of marinade hidden in your sleeve......"

"Silence! I know. If you look carefully, if you meet other official sedan chairs on the road, avoid them early! ”

"Huh!"

"Hehe, Balu, Balu, Baturu, you can figure it out......"

Outside the sedan chair, he never heard a reply......

On the 10th day of the ninth month of the twelfth year of Shunzhi, at midnight, the Minister of the Interior and the Third Waiting Chambers were at the door of Wu Bai's mansion.

"Master, there is a distinguished guest." As soon as Wu Bai's sedan chair landed, the official who had been waiting at the door for a long time hurriedly stepped forward and whispered.

"Guest?" Wu Bai's body was shocked, and he hurriedly asked.

"Cigong ......" The butler's reply was missing a word, but his mouth turned to the north.

"Oh, go to the Chamber of Secrets." Wu Bai hurriedly left.

"Master, your guest is waiting there."

"Good!" Wu Bai suddenly stopped, looked back at the dark streets and alleys, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he hurriedly entered the mansion.

*

"Father-in-law, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting!"

After watching the official family close the door outside the house and softly scolding the people to stay away, Wu Bai apologized to the guest seat. There was no tea, let alone snacks to satisfy hunger, only a lone lamp, caressing the figure of the visitor in a trance.

"Lord Wu is polite, what are we afraid of for a long time? It's not that the old lady is anxious, but the slave is coming and waiting for you? "Most of the body of the guest fell in the shadow of the lamp, flickering and dimming.

"Slave Wu Bai, it's all under the command of the old lady!"

Hearing this, Wu Bai suddenly got up and left his seat. Simply knelt down under the table.

"Lord Wu, please hurry up, the head of the family has spoken, only gossip, regardless of the government. How dare you make a time! ”

The guest finally got up from within the shadow of the lamp and respectfully supported Wu Bai. When Wu Bai got up, he was able to see the face of the person who came, and sure enough, it was him, the eunuch of the head of Cining Palace, who was still noble!

"Father-in-law Wu, Wu Bai knows everything, it's all up to you."

Re-seated. Half ringing. There are still nobles who speak:

"The emperor's pre-imperial meeting, one afternoon plus half of the night, can the master's body be able to eat?"

"The master is safe."

"Can little Belle be physically able to withstand it?"

"Lord Belle is also healthy, please rest assured old lady!"

"We've heard that. The master is angry with the master? ”

"It does. But it's also a big thing and a small thing. ”

"Then it's fine......"

Shang Yougui finished asking three sentences. And he said no more, but sat still, and had no intention of saying goodbye.

"Shang Gonggong ......"

Wu Bai wanted to speak and stopped.

"Lord Wu. The old lady said it, just small talk. ”

"Yes, yes! Minions are just chatting with you! This imperial meeting, but a lot of things have been decided, the slave is so old, many things are really uncertain, and he is ready to sort it out by himself. In the middle of the night, you happened to be sitting here with me, and I was just talking to myself......"

Wu Bai stroked his beard, stood up, and really didn't exist as if he was still noble, talking to himself and chattering......

At the same time, Dai Ming, the head of the Hanshang book, said that in the house, Lord Dai was pacing back and forth in the study, very anxious. Just when he had turned about five or six hundred times, the voice of the official finally sounded outside the door:

"Adult ......"

"Come in first, when is it?" Deming said in a low voice.

"Yes!" In response, it was indeed his confidant Dai Fushan.

"Say, what's wrong?"

"Adult, the small one sent more than a dozen young people from the family to be spies, and according to your instructions on the road, he stared at the official sedan chairs from afar......"

"Pick up the important ones!"

"Yes, Hu Shi'an, Li Jiqi, and Wei Zhouzuo all went back to their homes directly, and they didn't stop on the way."

"Liu Chang ......"

"But he went to Hu Shi'an's house."

"Humph! What a cunning old fox! Deming said that he slammed the tea bowl in his hand and said viciously.

"What about the other adults?"

"Jueluo Langqiu, Lord Bahana, Wu Bai, Enged, and Guo Ke have also returned home."

"Where's Tuhaita?"

"Tuhai went to Wang Yuele's house in Anjun."

"Hehe, he's only going to go there."

"Colcoin went to Aobai......"

"As I expected! He thought he knew the 'food' under his bowl, haha! Deming said there was a kind of excitement about being a little bit of a self-serving.

"My lord, these errand boys ......," Dai Fushan asked cautiously.

"The silver is ready?"

"Yes!"

"One hundred taels per person, and they dispersed to the store overnight. Tomorrow morning, they will go out of the city and return to their hometown in Cangzhou. Tell them that if they are strict-mouthed, I will call them back in two years. The tone of the mouth is not tight, ......" Deming said, his eyes glazed.

"There are a few small ones!" Dai Fushan hurriedly bowed his head and took the order.

"Fukuyama, tomorrow morning, you will finish that zuihou errand, and take the remaining five hundred taels back to your hometown first. Let's take care of those dozen boys, and don't let them go out and talk nonsense. Second, you have worked hard in the past few years, go back and enjoy the blessings, and you will come back in one year at the latest! Deming said with a look of concern on his face.

"Master......" Dai Fushan seemed to be a little reluctant.

"You go first, you don't have to go back to your home tomorrow after finishing your errand, just go out of Beijing!" Deming turned around and said coldly.

"Yes!"

"Alas, I know your faithfulness ......"

Deming said that he didn't look back, but at the moment when Dai Fushan closed the door, he whispered appropriately, not loud or small, just enough to hear clearly within this distance.

"Master, a small death is not enough to repay you! I...... Let's go! The footsteps outside the door came from near and far, and Deming said that he turned around and sneered twice......

The Forbidden City, two of the five places in Qiandong, and the east side hall.

"Sister Sun, why hasn't the master come back this time, can't there be something?"

Liang Gong anxiously went back and forth in front of Sun, patting his head for a while. Fiddling with the hat in his hand for a while, restless.

"Didn't you just inquire? The emperor left the master to discuss secretly. Besides, it's not just the master! Sun said lightly, but he still let the sewing needle in his hand poke his finger again, and hurriedly held it in his mouth.

"Sister, be careful!" Liang Gong's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly stepped forward to care.

"Don't get in the way, the master must be fine!" Sun couldn't hold his fingers anymore and said hurriedly.

"Well, even I can see that the emperor won't be really angry with the master!" Liang Gong cheered himself up!

"I'm afraid that the master is so late. Will you be hungry......" Sun subconsciously stroked his already full and towering breasts with his hand. only to realize that something was wrong, and suddenly blushed.

Liang Gong also reacted, hurriedly pretended to be fine, took two steps back, and stood far away. But the atmosphere was still a little awkward. That's when it happened. A whisper came from outside the door:

"Liang Ye ......"

"Come in and talk!" Liang Gong seems to have found a way to resolve the embarrassment. I was waiting for this person here in the first place. Hurriedly greeted.

"Huh!" The one who entered in response was indeed Wang Sanxi.

"Sanxi, what's wrong?" Don't wait for Sanxi to speak. Liang Gong is currently asking.

"Master Liang, I quietly asked the little fellow in the imperial dining room, and the girl said that the lady in charge did do make a move! It was as if a note had been stuffed under the bowl of Jue Luo Kolkun. Sanxi was panting, but there was no nonsense.

"Well, I'll just say! Whoever gives the ministers who stay overnight for supper, those old women have no reason not to eat white food! A small packet of salt foam is a few dozen taels of silver! Master, when I was on an errand in Cining Palace, this set of ways was learned by the monks......" Liang Gong was originally overjoyed, but he suddenly stopped halfway through his words, thoughtful.

"Master Liang, Sanxi heard that the people from Cining Palace also went to ask......" Wang Sanxi said a little nervously.

"Well, I thought of it a long time ago! You kid can, you have a chance, you will be on an errand in the future, you are indispensable! Liang Gong looked at Sanxi with great satisfaction.

"Xie Liangye! Thank you, Master! Sanxi was overjoyed and bowed down.

"Get up...... By the way, in the Imperial Dining Room, did you ask them if they had anything written on the note? Liang Gong suddenly became alert.

"The slave asked, the little girl just entered the palace, I don't know a few Manchu, I only know that the old lady is joking there, saying that Lord Jueluo quietly brought eight kinds of marinade, for fear that she will not be able to eat the supper in the palace." Wang Sanxi and Pantuo were also smiling.

"Gone?"

"It's gone."

"Hmmm! You go to Xihuamen again to inquire about how the adults walked. On the way, when you meet someone who checks the night, you say that you are from the East Second Institute, and you will be fine! ”

"Huh!" Three like to go out happily.

"Eight marinades? How can he bring it in? Liang Gong muttered to himself, clueless.

"Eight kinds of marinades written in Manchu? This makes people suspicious! Who will bring eight kinds of marinade into the palace, and they can't bring it in if they want to! Sun helped with the analysis.

"Well, that's it...... Eight marinades, Manchu ...... Chinese ...... Eight types of halogen...... Eight marinades......" Liang Gong chattered.

"Eight halogens? What do you mean, this is ......" Sun was also anxious.

"Chinese...... Eight halogen...... Eight halogens? Could it be? Liang Gong suddenly stopped!

"What is it?" Sun saw hope and asked eagerly.

"Isn't it Baturu's Chinese dialect?" Liang Gong lowered his voice.

"Oh...... It sounds like ...... "Sun also suddenly realized."

"Colcoin and Aobai have a past! Remember to tell the master about this! ”

"Hmm!" Sun hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"Sister, you rest first, and then I'll go to the Yuyu Palace to have a look." Liang Gong didn't look at Sun, and after speaking, he raised his feet and went out.

Sun finally relaxed, hurriedly uncovered his middle coat, took a bowl, and watched the snow-white milk rush into the bowl, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. squeezed a few times, but he stopped reluctantly, looked at his breasts stupidly, and said to himself:

"I also have to save some for the little master to supper...... Can't squeeze it all out...... Alas, in the middle of the night, I didn't let the master sleep peacefully......"

Bit of the Fertility Palace.

Hongyi watched the ministers rush out with some envy, and he couldn't wait to follow them back to his East Second Institute.

It's not that I miss Sun's pair of stunners, but there are many urgent things that need to be thought about and prepared early.

After all, tonight of the Double Ninth Festival, and even tonight in the Qing Dynasty, is destined to be a sleepless night......
