Chapter 63: The House Is on Fire (Part II)
"The palace received the letter Zhujun, and soon packed up his belongings and went to the fiefdom, and before leaving Chang'an, he wanted to set up a banquet to make peace with General Liu, Wu Guoshi and Wang Shangshu, and in the future, they will be ministers in the same hall, and they will take care of each other."
Su Bi always spoke in a weird tone: "I don't know why Mrs. Zun didn't come with her?" The sisters in the boudoir haven't seen each other for a long time and miss them very much. ”
Liu Yu said respectfully: "I wanted to go along, but when I saw it at night, I said that it was not suitable for women to walk at night, so I asked Zai Xia to convey her greetings to the princess." ”
"Oh?"
Su Bi had a hint of banter in her eyes, as if to say that you are more like a woman than your wife.
The atmosphere of the banquet was a little depressing, Sui Yi reported with a "sympathetic" gaze, Su Bi first asked Liu Yu to toast a glass of wine with Wu You and Wang Jian, Wu You's cup was quite relaxed, but Wu You had a look of "you are in trouble", as if it was inconvenient to say it in front of the princess. And Wang Jian's toast was much more polite, and Wang Jian even said, "Long admiration!" Long admiration! I can't see at all the resentment that his son was just put in a cell for a few days and was beaten with 50 boards. It's just that the smile on his face makes Liu Yu feel like a traitor.
Su Bi saw that Liu Yu had toasted, and seemed to be very satisfied, and continued: "General Liu, I heard that you peeked at the body of a girl named Qi'er in the palace the day before yesterday, and that girl is still the fourteenth sister of the palace, can you have such a thing?" ”
Liu Yu finally understood what Wu You's expression was conveying, it turned out that Old Man Wu already knew Xiao Qi'er's identity, but he didn't know him in advance but told Su Bi. Peeking at the princess's body, this crime is a big crime, even the listless Sui Yi also cast a curious gaze, Liu Yu swallowed his saliva, and reluctantly smiled: "Everything is a misunderstanding." ”
"Wu Guoshi has explained in detail to the palace, General Liu was an unintentional mistake, the fourteenth sister is taught by Lin Meiren on weekdays, and her temper is also stubborn, thanks to General Liu, you rescued her from the river pond. Hongu toasts you. ”
Liu Yu poured a glass of wine and drank it all with Su Bi, saying in his heart that these four princesses really ate him to death, and it is no wonder that the ministers of the court never argued with her when she was a dominatrix. He finally knew who the woman he had seen earlier who looked very similar to Xiao Qi'er was, Lin Meiren, who had not heard of it, which meant that her status in the palace was not high. The emperor has dozens of concubines, not all of them are as favored as Concubine Li and Mrs. Lu.
Su Bi said again: "Wang Shangshu, didn't you say that you have something to ask General Liu, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the palace has not left Chang'an, and say it at this banquet, and the palace can also talk about it for you." ”
Liu Yu mentioned his vigilance, this Wang Jian has something to ask for? The next time I see his son, let him go? The request should also be begged for Sui Yi, the young Yin of the Beijing Mansion.
Wang Jian arched his hand and said: "General Liu, please don't blame Wang for being abrupt, the child is stubborn on weekdays, and he still doesn't know how to restrain himself after marrying two wives and concubines...... Take the dog as a disciple and teach well. It will definitely make the dog famous. ”
Liu Yu didn't expect Wang Jian to make such an "abrupt" request, he was annoyed enough to have Su Yan as an apprentice, if he added a Wang Hu who liked to do evil, his reputation would be in vain.
"This ...... Something seems wrong. Liu Yu said after thinking about the words for a long time.
Su Bi sneered: "Sorry for the son Mo Ruo's father, Wang Shangshu hopes that his son will become a Chan, General Liu won't even agree to this little request, right?" ”
Liu Yuxin said that today's banquet should not come, the fourth princess will give him a problem, that Wang Hu's typical second-generation official eyes are on the top of his head, even if he is accepted as an apprentice, what can he teach him? Is he willing to listen to the teachings?
"You have to ask Ling Gongzi." Liu Yu said, "The twisted melon is not sweet." ”
Wang Jian clapped his hands and said, "Hu'er, come out and say hello to Mr." ”
I saw a son-in-law brother walking out of the inner hall, it was Wang Hu who I had seen that day, he was not injured and walked badly, he walked closer, and saluted Liu Yu a little unkindly: "The student greets Mr. ”
Liu Yu couldn't help but say in his heart, who came up with this bad idea, is it really Wang Jian's son Jackie Chan or the fourth princess sincerely disgusted him. With a depressed breath in his heart, Liu Yu waved his hand and said, "Prince Wang doesn't have to be so polite. ”
Just when Liu Yu was difficult to ride a tiger, he didn't promise well, and he couldn't say it if he didn't agree, a hurried figure quickly arrived at the door under the guidance of Zhike, and Liu Yu saw that it was Lu Chuer. The heart said that this Lu Chu'er came at a really good time.
"The last general will say hello to the fourth princess." Lu Chu'er saluted when she entered the door.
Liu Yu pretended to be puzzled and said, "Guard Lu, why are you in such a hurry?" I don't know if I'm having a feast with the fourth princess? ”
Lu Chu'er hurriedly said: "Uncle, go back to the house and take a look, the general learned cooking with Miss Sui, but accidentally caught fire, and the entire kitchen was burned." ”
Liu Yuxin said that Lu Chu'er had made progress in lying, not just talking about fire, her thinking was quite clear, and she was learning to cook on fire, and she thought of it.
Liu Yu's face sank and said, "So serious? The fourth princess, Wang Shangshu Wu Guoshi, you have also heard it, I am afraid that I will have to go back to the house to have a look, and I will visit another day. ”
Su Bi looked suspicious and said, "How happened so coincidentally? Then General Liu should go back earlier, hoping that there will be no other losses except for a kitchen. ”
Sui Yi got up and said, "Your Royal Highness the Princess, the Miss Sui that Guard Lu said is the sister of the house, the lower official...... I have to rush to see it. ”
Su Bi was a little annoyed and said, "In that case, donkey, you will send guests to the palace." ”
Liu Yu finally got rid of it, and came out with Sui Yi and Lu Chuer, and he was in good spirits. Chai Jin sent the guest to the door, took out something like a letter from his bosom and handed it to Liu Yudao: "Brother Liu, this is the apprenticeship ceremony that Wang Shangshu asked me to transfer on my behalf, don't refuse, otherwise...... I can't explain to Uchiko when I go back. ”
Liu Yuxin said that Wang Jian was really relied on, and he had to let him take Wang Hu as an apprentice. Liu Yu opened the letterhead and saw that it was a title deed of 400 acres of land. "Such a precious gift......
Liu Yu was about to return it, but Chai Jin fled back to the door for fear of being rejected.
Liu Yu knew that he couldn't escape, and he could avoid it in the future. When I arrived at the gate of the house, I looked left and right, and I couldn't see the group of little female soldiers except for the carriage and the coachman.
"What about people?" Liu Yu looked at Lu Chu'er.
Lu Chu'er said nervously: "Uncle, they all went back to put out the fire." ”
"Firefighting?" Liu Yu couldn't cry or laugh, "It's so desperate to do it, you won't really go back and set the kitchen on fire, right?" ”
Lu Chu'er hurriedly said: "Uncle, it's really on fire, the general learned to cook and accidentally dropped the spark on the firewood and grass, someone came to report it before, they all went back to put out the fire, and the subordinates hurriedly went in to inform you." Uncle, you were really prescient. ”
Prophetic vision? Liu Yuxin said that this was scolding him, saying that the fire was really on fire.
Liu Yu reluctantly beckoned to Sui Yi and said, "Let's go, your sister is also at my house, hurry up and help, don't do anything." ”
