Chapter 593: Enthusiastic Old Man
"Ahh It's you! The old man seemed to think, "But why are you here?" Do you want to eat my cooking, haha! β
"Yes! I miss your food...... "Yu Xue nodded repeatedly, "However, before eating, I came to see Lord Horai." β
"Oh? Then you go to the front, those civil officials should know about you, you just find someone and help you pass on a message. The old man said.
"You all know me? What do you mean? Xue Xue looked puzzled.
"I didn't even know yesterday...... You're Miss Tao, right? They said that the one who wants to snatch the job of even adults is you! The old man simply put down his burden, leaned closer and asked, "Lord Horay, do you want to invite you to the regular court?" β
With many years of "political experience", Yi Xue felt that this could not be said casually, if it was not said well, it might have a great impact on the career of He Laichao.
"What did you say, uncle? How is this possible......" Xue Xue hurriedly waved her hand, "If it's really like you said, why don't I just go straight to the front, but wait here?" β
"It seems to be ......," the old man was also puzzled.
Seeing that the old man was "fooled", Yi Xue hurriedly put on a smiling face and asked in a low voice: "But uncle, who is the Lord Lian you just said?" β
"It's also a civil official in the Chang Shitang, just like you, you can speak Chinese, and you've been in the palace for several days, maybe you'll 'go up'......" The old man pointed to the sky mysteriously.
This code word, Yi Xue understood at once, today she remembered to hide clumsy, so she smiled and didn't speak, and when the old man was enough, she told her request: "Uncle, can you take me in, I have something to do, I want to find Lord Ho Lai......"
"What's the matter?" The old man asked rhetorically.
"Private matter!" Yi Xue reacted quickly.
"What's the matter?" The old man actually got to the bottom of it.
This time, Yi Xue really didn't think about it, just in that branch, "It's ......"
"No...... That's it! The old man's eyes suddenly lit up.
Yi Xue was stunned for a moment, not knowing what the old man meant, but after thinking about it, she echoed ignorantly, "Ah, yes...... That's it. β
"Good! Then I'll take you in! The old man suddenly increased his momentum, picked up the flat burden quickly, and took Yi Xue into the backyard of the Chang Shi Hall.
After putting down the meat and vegetables, regardless of Yi Xue's shirk, the old man personally sent Yi Xue to the door of He Laichao's study.
From the moment she entered the door, she put on a veil, but along the way, she didn't meet anyone else, and on the way to the study, the old man was still actively looking left and right, as if he was afraid that someone would find her.
"This is it!" The old man winked at Yixue.
"Uncle, here, only Lord Horai is here, right?" Xue Xue asked cautiously.
"Of course! Lord Horai is the biggest official here after Lord Changshi, and his study, of course, belongs to him alone. The old man replied.
"Got it! Thank you, uncle! Xue nodded gratefully.
At this time, the old man was about to knock on the door, Yi Xue suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly grabbed the old man's hand, and then, I saw her clasped her hands together, and said to the old man: "By the way, uncle!" I came to look for Lord Horay today, can you please help me keep it secret! β
Originally, Yi Xue also prepared a speech, but he didn't expect the old man to smile, said a few "of course" in a row, and helped knock on the door, "Lord Horai......"
All the way in, the old man's excessive care flattered Yi Xue, and while she was happy, she also felt a little uneasy.
"Enterβ" He Laichao's voice came from inside.
Hearing He Laichao's voice, Yi Xue immediately became nervous, and hurriedly left his anxiety about the old man behind.
The old man glanced at Yi Xue, and Yi Xue gave up her hand again, and the old man helped her push open the door, and Yi Xue walked in cautiously.
However, before Yi Xue could stand still, He Laichao spoke: "Second uncle, I said, you don't need to send any soup, I'm fine......"
Seeing that no one answered, He Lai Chao saw that no one answered, and after a while, he raised his head a little impatiently, and when he saw the person in front of him, his expression suddenly became serious.
"Who are you?" He Laichao asked.
"It's me, it's me!" Yi Xue hurriedly took off her veil.
"Miss Tao?" He Laichao stood up and looked at Yi Xue with a puzzled expression, "How could it be you?" It's not ...... just now."
"It's the old man in the kitchen, I met him at the back door, and I asked him to bring me in." Xue explained.
Yi Xue just wanted to walk over, but when she saw the piles of books on the table of He Laichao, she couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, "That...... Are you busy? Am I bothered? β
"Ahh No, no, no ......" He Lai Chao came back to his senses and hurriedly walked out from behind his desk.
Yi Xue nodded, and looked around the room by the way, if according to what the old man said just now, He Laichao is the second official of the Chang Shitang, then it is basically the level of Zuo Min's waiter, which is more powerful than she imagined.
"However, you are looking for me, why do you make me ...... again" He Laichao paused, "how can I let the old man in the kitchen bring you in, you let the person in front of you call me, and I can come out." β
"Well...... It's me, and I'm coming from behind. Xue replied
"Could it be that they are the ones who have embarrassed you?" He Laichao suddenly frowned.
"It's not! No! Yi Xue hurriedly waved her hand, "It's that I don't want to trouble them, I'm coming to you today, it's ......"
Before Yi Xue finished speaking, He Laichao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he directly snatched the words, "You want to come to Chang Shitang to help, right?" You've changed your mind! β
"That ......" Xue Xue shook her head embarrassedly, "It's not ...... either"
"That's ......," a hint of loss flashed in Holai's eyes, "then what's the matter with you looking for me so secretly?" β
As soon as she came up, she asked He Lai Chao to check Yuancheng's household registration, Yi Xue was a little unable to open her mouth, she thought about it, and then said another thing, "Do you have a bad relationship with your adult?" β
"Irryen-sama? How do you know? He Lai glanced at the fox suspiciously.
"What the old man in the kitchen said on the road...... "Yi Xue spread his hands innocently, "Moreover, he also said that you want me to help with things, and the whole Chang Shitang knows about it, what is going on?" β
"Phewβ" He Lai Chao sighed, "I don't know what's going on, maybe it was heard when I said that, and then somehow it reached the ears of those civil officials." β
Yi Xue nodded, the situation was similar to what she thought, out of need, she asked again: "You Chang Shitang, how many people of your official rank are there?" β
"It's just me, what's wrong?" He Lai looked at the snow.
Hum! This kind of officialdom is dark, Yi Xue has seen a lot, listening to the words of the old man just now, he knows that the people in Chang Shitang do not welcome her, take it out of context, add oil and vinegar, isn't it obvious, it is the people below who want to pull Ho Lai Chao into the water, and then promote himself!
