Chapter 118: Fallen

Wang Xi suddenly realized that he had met an extraordinary person.

It's a pity that this is the capital, if it is in Shuzhong, she can always find a clue and find out their details.

Her sense of victory and defeat was suspended.

Wang Xi thought of Chen Luo.

Don't use it when you can use it, and keep it for the New Year?

Wang Xi asked Wang Xi to bring a letter to Chen Luo and borrow it from Chen Yu. Then she and Chang Ke continued to wait for Alley's uncle to come to the door to apologize. Bai Guo and Mama Wang did not stop, and continued to inquire about the news of Uncle Ali's nephew.

She didn't wait for Uncle Ali's apology, nor did she wait for the news of Mama Wang and Bai Guo, but waited for Chen Luo.

Chen Luo wore a lake-blue plain Hangzhou silk white silk round-necked shirt with large sleeves, his black hair was tied with a green bamboo hairpin, and he was dressed briskly and casually, but his eyebrows showed a little loneliness, and there was no one serving around him.

Wang Xi was taken aback, and while looking at the clouds behind him, he said repeatedly: "Why are you here in person?" What about Chen Yu? But what happened? ”

Seeing that she was full of concern, Chen Luo felt a lot better in his heart, and his voice was very calm and gentle: "I asked Chen Yu to do something, and he couldn't be idle for a while." I'm afraid you're in a hurry, I happened to be on duty for the past few days, so I came over. Don't worry, my mother and the dwellers of Yunju Temple have a little incense, so I'll go and say hello to her. I'll talk to you later. ”

But he didn't say what had happened.

Wang Xi's heart hung down, but he didn't want to ask too much in front of Chang Ke, so he had to send him to see the abbot of Yunju Temple first.

Chang Ke couldn't help but pull Wang Xi to the side and speak: "Why did you invite this evil god?" Even if there is anything wrong with Ah Li's uncle, it is just a meeting with us, and it will not hinder any major things. But Chen Luo's intervention is different. I'm afraid that he will hurt Alley's uncle, but it is Alley who is sad. How cute that kid is! ”

Wang Xi couldn't help but speak for Chen Luo: "Didn't you also say that you haven't been in contact with Chen Luo for a few years?" He's grown up now, and you can't always look at people with old eyes. You should have believed me a little more. ”

Chang Ke was stunned and said: "I mainly think that Chen Luo's gaze is intimidating and makes people feel scared, and when facing him, it is not as gentle and harmless as when facing Chen Dagongzi." ”

That's because Chen Luo is still young and doesn't know how to restrain himself, and when he is older, how can he still make people see his joy and anger.

Wang Xi pursed his lips and smiled, and the two went to the house to continue painting fans.

It's about to be half of July, and they are going to give a few friends such as Miss Wu Er and Miss 6 a few fans as gifts, and as for the fan lattice and fan bag, they will give Bai Zhi a few.

Before they could finish drawing a picture, Chen Luo turned around.

The three of them sat under the camphor tree in the courtyard drinking tea and talking.

"I'm afraid this person's identity is really not simple." Chen Luo said, "I asked for a long time, and the abbot admitted that there was such a person. He also tactfully begged me not to ask. I suspect that he is a descendant of Liu Ziyong's family back then. ”

"Liu Ziyong?!" Wang Xi was still a little confused, not knowing who he was talking about, Chang Ke had already jumped up and said hurriedly, "Is it the Liu Ziyong we usually talk about?" Is it Liu Ziyong, who used to live next door to our house? ”

Isn't the eldest princess who lives next door to the Yongcheng Hou Mansion?

Wang Xi suddenly understood.

The Liu Ziyong they are talking about is the Liu family who was bought by the Ministry of Internal Affairs because of his family's middle ground, and served as the new eldest princess's mansion when the eldest princess of Baoqing remarried.

Isn't Chen Luo living in the original Liu family's house now?

Wang Xi looked at Chen Luo.

Chen Luo nodded and said, "It should be him." Lord Liu did a lot of good things when he was alive. Let's just say that the heavy snow in the winter of Yongkang was eight years, if it weren't for Lord Liu's arguments, the first emperor would not have agreed to let Shuntianfu Yin lead people to set up porridge sheds at the four city gates, and let the Salesian Bureau adopt many orphans under the age of ten. Just this one is enough for the people of the capital to set up an immortal shrine for him. What's more, after he served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he supported various academies to provide assistance to poor students many times, benefiting many students. Not to mention far, Liu Shilang of the Ministry of Industry was once a beneficiary. ”‘

Liu Shilang of the Ministry of Works, isn't it Miss Pan's husband's family?

This went around and around, and everyone gathered for a while.

However, Chen Luo's eyes are above the top, which can make him call him an "adult", this Lord Liu Ziyong should be a person with very good character and talent.

Could it be that the people of Yunju Temple are also willing to shelter Uncle Ali's nephew for this?

Wang Xi was immediately very interested, and said, "Wasn't Lord Liu exiled because of the imperial examination case?" Lord Liu can't be an unjust, false and wrongful case, right? ”

Although the emperor will definitely not be wrong, everyone has a scale in their hearts.

Chen Luo said hesitantly: "It's a long time, and no one can say clearly." However, Lord Liu is notoriously capable as an official, and he should not make such a mistake. ”

only said that Lord Liu was capable, but did not say that he was honest, or upright.

Wang Xiwan'er didn't pursue it too much, after all, this was an old thing from the past, and it didn't have much to do with her, she said: "Then should we start from this aspect and carefully investigate Uncle Ali's nephew." ”

Even if he is a junior of Lord Liu, he should apologize when he should apologize, these are two things that should not be confused.

Chen Luo smiled: "I have already sent someone to investigate." ”

This is the first time Wang Xi has seen Chen Luo smile after seeing him in Yunju Temple. It can be seen that he is also quite interested in this matter.

Wang Xi didn't want to look at his sad face, so he simply followed him and said, "I don't know what he did when he suddenly came to the capital?" When Lord Liu was exiled from his home, did they follow the exile? Or have you been relegated back to your hometown? ”

Chen Luo said: "Only Lord Liu was exiled, they were sent back to their hometown, and the imperial examination was not allowed within three generations. Speaking of this, he suddenly said, "If I am not mistaken, the third generation of the Liu family should also be adults." The emperor inherited the unification, and only granted amnesty to the world when he ascended the throne, and I don't know if the people of the Liu family have caught up? ”

If you don't catch up, Uncle Ali's nephew will be worth scrutinizing when he arrives in the capital.

There is a reason why Yunju Temple is reluctant to reveal the whereabouts of Uncle Ali's nephew.

The three of them talked about the Liu family for a long time, and Bai Guo brought them refreshments.

Chen Luo and Wang Xi are both white peonies, and Chang Ke is Biluochun.

The dim sum is a white lotus flower the size of a tea cup, drizzled with caramel-colored maple sugar, and there is the crispiness of maple sugar in the mouth, as well as the sweetness of lotus root.

Chen Luo looked at the small pastel plate for a long time and said, "What's the name of this dim sum?" It's the first time I've seen it? Is it your private snack again? ”

Chang Ke also saw it for the first time, so he couldn't help but prick up his ears to listen.

Wang Xi said with a smile: "It's called the Three Treasures of the Lotus Pond." It is to cut the lotus root into a thin coat, roll it up with lotus seeds and water chestnuts chopped into puree, make it into a lotus dress, put it in a pot and fry it over low heat, and then pour it on the fried maple sugar. It's more troublesome to make, it's a seasonal dim sum, and it's our family's private dim sum. ”

Chen Luo ate another one and felt that it tasted good, especially with tea, which was greasy and appetizing.

He complimented a few words.

Chang Ke also thought it was delicious, and even had the opportunity to learn a few dim sum from the Wang family's cook.

When they had almost eaten the snacks and the tea was ready, Chen Luo's people talked back.

"That Uncle and nephew of Ah Li is the descendant of Lord Liu's family." The person who talked back and forth was a fresh face to Wang Xi, twenty-seven or eight years old, tall, with a steady look, and a faint arrogance in his expression, not like a servant, but like an official, "The big one on the road is called Liu Zhong, the small one is called Liu Li, and the registered ones are two uncles and nephews." I checked the files of that year, Liu Zhong should be the youngest grandson of Lord Liu, and when Lord Liu committed the crime, he was still in infancy. That Liu Li should be the son of Liu Zhong's cousin.

"They entered Beijing in May this year, and after coming to Beijing, they first went to visit Lord Liu, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, and stayed at Liu's house for a few days. Later, I don't know why, I moved to live in the south of the city for more than half a month, and I borrowed it in Yunju Temple a few days ago.

"According to the people of Yunju Temple, it was because it was too hot in the city, Liu Li was too young to stand it, and he was covered with prickly heat, and Liu Zhong had no choice, so he took Liu Li to live in Yunju Temple."

Chen Luo nodded and explained to Wang Xi: "The nuns of Yunju Temple are good at pediatrics, especially good at children's crying and diarrhea, I'm afraid that Liu Zhong is also here for this." ”

The one Wang Xi came to report now seemed to be looking at his nose and nose, but when Chen Luo was talking to her, he glanced at her very boldly several times.

I knew that she wouldn't be eager to come over and listen to the excitement.

Wang Xi felt that the person who came to report the news was a little slippery, so he glanced at Chen Luo and went back to the courtyard first.

Chen Luo said a few more words to the man, and then sent him away and told Wang Xi: "I've been a little busy these days, and this kind of thing is not something that anyone can hear, so I asked the subordinates of the guard to help." ”

No wonder this man dared to look at her like that!

Wang Xi frowned secretly and said to Chen Luo: "If you can trust the big shopkeeper of our family, you can also hand over some important things to him." ”

Chen Luo replied vaguely, seeing that it was not early, and said to her: "Then Liu Zhong may not be able to apologize to you today, Liu Li is sick, it is said that he was frightened, Liu Zhong has been taking care of Liu Li these days!" You'll probably have to wait a few more days. ”

As long as it's not intentional.

But Liu Zhong couldn't come, and he didn't even ask someone to bring them a letter, and Wang Xi's evaluation of him in his heart was still not very high.

She pursed her lips, but said, "Do you know where they live?" I'll have someone bring the kid something to eat and play with. Let's hope he's not scared by us. ”

Chen Luo saw through Wang Xi's thoughts at a glance, he laughed and said: "I guess it's not that he doesn't want to send you a letter, it's that the people in the temple don't want to send us a letter - they are always not good at going back on their word, the front foot just said that I don't know there is this person, and the back foot will tell you where the people live, right?" ”
