Chapter 179: Fried Hair
The eldest prince thinks that he and Chen Luo have been a lifelong friend, although the two were not right in the past, they did not have too deep contradictions, but they had different hobbies and a little age apart. Now it's different, they have lived and died together, even if they can't play with each other, they are also people who can be entrusted with their backs.
He said to the second prince: "It's just a pity that Linlang suffered with me, and I don't know what the emperor means?" β
The second prince was stunned.
Is this what he means by asking him to intercede for Chen Luo?
With his friendship with Chen Luo, when will it be his eldest prince's turn to say such things?
What about Chen Luo? Did he think so too?
The second prince looked at Chen Luo.
Chen Luo smiled bitterly at him and said, "To be honest, my mind is messed up now, and I don't know what happened to me now?" Why is this happening? I'm going to go back and study behind closed doors - in the past, the emperor didn't always say that I only knew how to dance with guns and sticks, and I didn't look serious. It's not too late for me to start studying, right? β
The second prince and the eldest prince were silent for a long time when they heard this.
They don't know what the emperor thinks in his heart.
But the second prince must not let go of Chen Luo's helper.
In his opinion, the emperor has already been sorry for Chen Luo once, and he should not be sorry for Chen Luo again. No matter what happens in the future, Chen Luo should be rewarded during this time, and several of his half-brothers, he felt that he could see quite clearly, and when the eldest prince was assassinated, he felt that he couldn't understand anyone.
These thoughts flashed through his mind, and he suddenly understood why Chen Luo was going to study.
If he had a choice, he would probably choose to study as well.
But he is different from Chen Luo in the end.
Chen Luo can stay out of the matter, can he?
And at this time, the only one who can really have no conflict of interest with him is Chen Luo.
Chen Luo went to study, what should he do?
When he came out of Zhenwu Temple, it was Chen Luo who sent the second prince instead of the injured and bedridden prince.
The second prince said to Chen Luo in front of the temple gate: "Father, I may not be useful when I speak." But no matter what, our cousins have played since childhood, and they are as close as brothers, and I will definitely speak for you in front of the emperor. You just have to recuperate here. Auntie, with my comfort, you don't have to worry. β
Chen Luo nodded.
He was eager to ask the second prince what his mother was doing these days.
After he was in distress, the eldest princess did not come to visit him.
But he felt that as a son, he didn't know his mother's whereabouts, which was a very shameless thing, he thought about it and thought about it, but he still didn't say it.
The second prince's guard of honor left, and Chen Luo stood in front of the door of the Zhenwu Temple and watched for a long time.
Back in the courtyard, he had no intention of playing chess, and Xiao Daotong served him tea.
The tea is the white peony of Yungui, and the tea is the osmanthus cake with gold leaf-like osmanthus petals between the snow-white sandwich.
Chen Luo's heart moved, and asked the boy: "Where did this refreshment come from, sweet but not greasy, and it tastes quite good." β
The boy smiled and said, "It was sent by Chunfeng Lou." He said that he was grateful to the master in our temple for helping their shopkeeper heal his hand injury. β
Chen Luo sent Dao Tong away, looked down at the scratched wound in the palm of his hand, and couldn't help laughing.
It's not that he hasn't been to Chunfeng Lou to eat dim sum, the osmanthus cake in Chunfeng Lou is much more fancy than this, and it's sweeter than this. This flavor is clearly made according to his preferences. Even if it wasn't made by the cook on the stove in Wang Xi's house, it was made according to Wang Xi's instructions.
Chen Luo was in a good mood, not only did he have the leisure to fiddle with his chess games, but he also ate five osmanthus cakes in a row, called Chen Yu, who came over last night, and asked him: "Can you contact Liu Gongzi?" β
Chen Yu also suffered a lot, and there were freshly scabbed abrasions on his face, although his clothes were neat, he looked quite embarrassed.
He said in a low voice: "Liu Gongzi said that the third prince and the fifth prince have frequently visited several cabinet ministers in the past few days, and a guest secretary under the fourth prince went to meet a protΓ©gΓ© of the Sichuan governor in the Hanlin Academy, and the sixth prince is also ready to move, to see the staff of Jiangnan weaving, but the seventh prince, not moving like a mountain, every day is still going to the academy, Chuxiu Palace, Qianqing Palace comes and goes. β
Chen Luo carefully rubbed the ceramic chess pieces in his hand, thinking that the Seven Princes did not move, whether his people did not find out, or whether the Seven Princes felt that it was best not to move at this time.
Whether it is the former or the latter, the Seven Princes are not simple.
In the past, he still underestimated him.
It's a pity, the emperor is too eager, otherwise they won't find out, in a few years, maybe the Seven Princes will really be able to do something!
Chen Luo smiled.
Chen Yu wanted to speak and stopped.
Chen Luo was displeased and said, "When did you develop the habit of hiding half of what you say?" β
Chen Yu hurriedly said: "No, it's that I don't know how to say this." β
Chen Luo gave him a look.
Chen Yu still said thoughtfully: "The seventh prince of the Qingyun Marquis Mansion sent someone to send a knife of Chengxin paper and a box of lake pens yesterday, saying that it was for Miss Wang to copy Buddhist scriptures. β
What is this statement?
Chen Luo's brows tightened.
Chen Yu said: "Miss Wang gave a large amount of sesame oil money to Yunju Temple before yesterday, and said that she wanted to copy the Buddhist scriptures to the main hall of Yunju Temple. β
Chen Luo immediately blew up like a cat that had invaded the territory.
How dare Bo Mingyue run to his territory to spread wild!
As long as he thought that the things sent by Bo Mingyue would be stored by Wang Xi's side, his heart suddenly felt like a spoonful of oil had been poured on a hot pot, and he was very tormented.
The casual expression just now is gone.
He swirled around the courtyard, dizzying Chen Yu's eyes. When he stopped, he said to Chen Yu suddenly: "No, I have to go back to the city." Outside are Yu Linwei and Jin Wuwei's people, fortunately, I was also injured, I'll go and tell the eldest prince, you are also smart, I'll go back when I go. β
Chen Yu was taken aback.
They were able to recuperate here, thanks to Lord Yu coming forward to say that the emperor ordered the eldest prince and the second prince to recuperate here, and the situation was unknown, so it was difficult for everyone to come to visit the patient. In case the emperor finds out, this is a crime of deception!
But where can Chen Yu say that Chen Luo can be moved.
Chen Luo used the excuse that he wanted to go out to meet his staff, so he immediately said that the eldest prince was moved, and the eldest prince not only promised to have him to cover, but also told Chen Luo: "Bo, the king of the Five Cities Terracotta Division and the West City Terracotta Division, has a good relationship with me, if you are in danger, you might as well go to him." He was also given a token.
This was a bonus.
When Chen Luo rushed to the city at night, he thought that the first time he saw Wang Xi was at the pharmacy in Jimintang, at that time he went to find medicine for the emperor, and later met her again, it was his mother's birthday banquet...... It seems that every time he is caught off guard, but every time he can inexplicably gain something.
He had to check Wang Xi's eight characters, whether it was a special match with him.
But thinking of the pen and paper that Bo Mingyue gave her, he felt like he was scratched by a cat, and he always felt that Bo Mingyue had a plan.
He was afraid that Wang Xi would be deceived.
It's very strange for Wang Xi to receive something from Bo Mingyue, the matter of the eldest prince has been boiling in the past two days, Bo Mingyue should be very busy, how can he have time to go to Yunju Temple, and he is still in the mood to send things to himself?
She simply sent Mama Wang to send some lanterns and moon cakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Of course, in order to avoid suspicion, she also sent a copy to Miss Bo Liu. also told Mama Wang: "If only I knew why Bo Gongzi went to Yunju Temple?" β
Yunju Temple is a nunnery, and the nuns in the temple will also see some minor diseases, so it is very popular with women in Beijing, there are many women who are residents of their family, and there are far more female pilgrims than male pilgrims.
Bo Mingyue has indeed been very busy these days, especially his father Qingyunhou has not yet made up his mind what to do, where is he still in the mood to care about what Wang Xi is doing. He went to Yunju Temple to meet someone. It's just that he didn't expect to meet Wang Xi's self-conscious grandmother, but since he did, he would inevitably say hello and say a few words.
Therefore, when Mama Wang went to Bo's house to give a return gift, although she did not meet Bo Mingyue and Miss Bo Liu, she also saw some things, and came back to tell Wang Xi: "It seems that the people of the Bo family are very busy, and their family's wife is said to have returned to her mother's house, and Miss Bo Liu has not returned since she entered the palace that day." Bo Qigongzi didn't touch the ground, and he heard that he was sent by their wife to Baoding Mansion to collect rent, and he won't be able to come back until next month. β
Does Baoding collect rent?
Under the nest, there are eggs.
Wang Xi had long heard that the Bo family had several large granges in Baoding Mansion, although it was a bit early to collect rent at this time, compared with the matter of the second prince, it was inevitable that the cart was put before the horse, which made people doubt the reason for Bo Mingyue's going.
Wang Xi secretly remembered it in his heart, thinking that his eldest brother would come to the capital after the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he asked about Wang Chen's whereabouts: "But will you still come to the capital on time?" β
Mama Wang said: "If you can't come, with the uncle's temperament, I will definitely ask someone to bring a letter in advance." β
If her eldest brother arrives, let her eldest brother meet Chen Luo.
When she returned to Shuzhong in the future, it was up to her eldest brother to decide whether the relationship with the Chen family would continue.
Wang Xi discussed many matters in Beijing with Mama Wang because of this, and it was not until she heard the drum of the three watches that she apologized and let Mama Wang go to rest.
However, as soon as Mama Wang left, the familiar sound of stones hitting sounded on her window lattice.
Wang Xi was taken aback, thinking that if Chen Luo came over at this time, something wouldn't have happened, right?
She didn't open the window, but called the red silk and the green silk in, blew the lamp, and then went to open the window.
It was Chen Luo who came in.
He complained, "Why did you blow the lamp? I thought you didn't hear it, and you were about to throw two more pebbles! β
Wang Xi was anxious in his heart, and he had no intention of worrying about him, so he said anxiously: "What happened?" You're coming into the city at this time? β
She was afraid that Chen Luo would run for her life.
That's the time to go.
She only had two hundred taels of broken silver in her hand. It's not enough to even get out of the capital. If you go out to get it, you are afraid of being targeted.
She thought in her heart, and unconsciously spoke, and said hurriedly: "I'll see if I still have any red gold jewelry." At this time, the gemstone setting is not as useful as the red gold. No wonder others say that the jewels of the prosperous era are the gold of the troubled times. I should have brought some little yellow croaker. β
Chen Luo was stunned, under the light, he looked at Wang Xi's gaze as if reflecting the galaxy, dotted with stars, bright and charming.
