Chapter 113: Contradictions
Chen Luo remained silent in front of his father.
His attitude made Chen Yu even more displeased, and even thundered, letting Chen Luo enter the palace to resign from this official position, and taught him a lesson: "I think you are relying on the emperor's favor to become more and more disagreeable." Do you know how many people inside and outside the court are staring at our Zhenguo Mansion? How many people are looking forward to the defeat of the Zhenguo Mansion from Xuanhe? Your eldest brother and I tremble every day, walking on thin ice, for fear of being made out of nothing and slandered in front of the emperor. It's good for you to act arrogantly and without scruples, and you began to ask the emperor for an official title at a young age. Is that how I taught you? Do you want to watch our Zhenguo Mansion unlucky in order to learn what it means to be cautious in words and deeds? What does it mean to be cautious? ”
Chen Luo had learned how to accommodate his father's anger through his countless beatings.
He knew that as long as he bowed his head and admitted his mistakes, showed his deference, and promised that he would definitely put the reputation and future of the Zhenguo Mansion first, although his father would continue to talk to him, he would also turn big things into small things, and small things would be revealed. As for him, he just promised verbally, and turned around as he could do it, but the next time his father caught him, he promised to do the same as before.
But this time, Chen Yu's words made Chen Luo feel awkward to listen to.
Isn't it because of his father's incompetence that the husband is so uneasy about holding power and walking on thin ice?
"Zhenguo Mansion is unlucky", he is not even a son, even if Zhenguo Mansion is unlucky, it is not his responsibility, why do you want him to take the blame?
"Did I teach you that", and when did he teach himself something? Every time he met him, he looked impatient and dissatisfied, and he began to reprimand him without saying two words, and he was completely different from Chen Ying, why did he accuse himself like this?
Inexplicably, Chen Luo obviously knew how to accommodate his father, but this time he didn't want to do this, and suddenly impulsively like when he was eight or nine years old, he raised his chin and sneered at his father, and his words were as sharp as a knife to stab Chen Yu: "Since my father feels that sitting in the position of the prince of this town is like sitting on pins and needles, I might as well ask the emperor to resign, and our two brothers should follow our father to pick chrysanthemums and go down the south mountain and be a carefree farmer." Let me quit my uncle's fatherly heart, I won't go. If you want to go, your father will also go to discuss it with your uncle. Let me, a yellow-mouthed child who has never been weak, enter the palace to talk to the emperor, and the elders in the family don't know where it is?
"Just look at the emperor. When he wanted to promote me to my rank, he didn't call me to tell me, but he called my father over to discuss. It's no wonder that my father, the prince of the town, is trembling and walking on thin ice! ”
Chen Yu was furious.
Chen Ying, as before, stepped forward to stop her father at the right time, and begged bitterly: "Father is angry, my younger brother is still young, just teach slowly." Don't be like him. The military attache who is not as weak as the crown has never been in this dynasty, and the younger brother is thinking about it for a while, only seeing the excitement of flowers and brocade, and not seeing the danger behind it. ”
Chen Luo sneered.
He is no longer Chen Luo when he was a child, and he has long abandoned his cheap brother.
Chen Luo followed his own wishes, flipped over the table when Chen Ying was "interceding" for herself, brushed her sleeves away, changed her clothes after returning to the room, and went to Wang Xi's appointment.
He climbed over the wall, looked at the flowers and trees in the willow garden, smelled the fragrance of flowers wafting from nowhere, and his mood suddenly calmed down.
Chen Luo thought at the time that maybe the reason why he was so impatient today was because he didn't want to delay him for this date.
When he sat down and tasted the osmanthus cake sent by the Wang family, the white tea and white peony that Wang Xi recommended to him, he was a little unsure.
Whether he can no longer stand the cowardly behavior of his father and brother in front of him, or can't stand that as an uncle, he knows what the relationship between him and his father is, but he always hopes that he can reconcile with his father, and every time he goes directly to negotiate with his father over his life events.
Chen Luo drank tea and ate snacks, his body was warm and sleepy.
He's not one to embarrass himself. Lying on the bed with his mind closed, his body wanting to sleep, but his mind was unwilling to stop, and he was spinning with his own opinions.
The two staff members recommended to him by the shopkeeper Wang were really timely, and he met both of them. The younger one was more arrogant, and without waiting for him to speak, he said that he was willing to be his staff member, in order to wait for the next imperial examination, at most two years, and would not stay by his side for a long time.
The older one is calm, but he just wants to retire with him, deal with some daily affairs for him, and give him advice, but I am afraid that he will spend some thought.
He wasn't too happy with either.
Since this is the case, he should be blunt with Wang Xi today, and let the Wang family either recommend a few more people, or directly reject the Wang family. He only listened to Wang Xi's nagging, and forgot to tell her about it.
Maybe this is also related to the fact that he is used to solving everything by himself and does not take this matter to heart.
But he really needs a staff member who can at least help him deal with his father and brother.
He is not afraid of quarrels, but he feels disgusting, and he can rarely see one glance.
And the emperor there.
When he was arranging the back road of the Seventh Prince, he was also arranging his back road at the same time. Treat him as a nephew, not a nephew with a different surname.
Thinking of this, Chen Luo sat up suddenly.
All the abnormalities of the emperor started when he had heart palpitations. Will the emperor's illness be more serious than he imagined? Maybe it's time to start arranging what happens after the death?
Where can Chen Luo still sleep.
Although his body was still roaring to rest, he quickly got up and told Chen Yu, who was awakened: "Let's ......"
I said two words, but I didn't know who to talk to for a while.
Looking for a mother? She was afraid that she would be stunned when she heard this, and then she dressed up, entered the palace crying, and took the emperor's hand and asked the emperor to call the doctor from the Tai Hospital.
Looking for a father? That's impossible. He didn't take the emperor's illness as a handle, suppressed him and his mother, and it was good to seek a future for Chen Ying. Give him ideas, that's absolutely impossible.
Looking for the emperor? The emperor's relationship with the safety of the society, even if he is panicked in his heart, it is impossible to show half a point in front of him, the emperor will go to Lord Yu to discuss, will go to Lord Xie to discuss, but will not consult with him.
Looking for Chen Yu's father? He can do business, this kind of family and country affairs, he can only tremble, it's good not to be scared and his legs tremble, and I want him to give an idea!
Chen Luo collapsed on the bed in a dejected manner.
Speaking of which, he is still too weak, and if something happens, he can't stand up alone, and there is no one to trust by his side.
As he thought about it, Wang Xi's shadow suddenly appeared in his mind.
This little girl is not very reliable, but she seems to be twittering, but her mouth is very tight, and she can hide her words, which is reassuring.
What's more, he still has to talk to the little girl about the staff.
Chen Luo pondered, and remembered the quiet courtyard of the Willow Garden, and the well-trained behavior of the servants, and his heart became even hotter.
He instructed Chen Yu: "Let's go to the Willow Garden to have a look." ”
Is this time?
Chen Yu suspected that he had misheard, and said, "My lord, this time has passed, and it will be Yin Shi in two hours, and you haven't rested well in the past few days." Why don't I take a trip for you tomorrow morning, or bring a message to Miss Wang? ”
At that time, the courtiers had to start getting up and preparing for the court.
Chen Luo shook his head, feeling that he couldn't wait any longer.
He had to get this out of the way, or he wouldn't be able to sleep.
Chen Yu had no choice but to serve Chen Luo to change clothes.
He didn't expect Chen Luo to have any personal feelings with Wang Xi at night, the adults in their family are the most arrogant, and because they are too good-looking, there are always such and such women around them who like to find excuses to approach, which makes Chen Luo particularly disgusted by such a scene, so that the people who serve around him are all small servants, and there is not even a maid who can get close.
What's more, the Wang family has indeed helped Chen Luo a lot these days, and Chen Luo is not only on an errand during this time, he is also busy secretly investigating the affairs of the Qianqing Palace.
A few days ago, the adults of their family went to Zhenwu Temple with Miss Wang.
*
When Wang Xi was woken up, he couldn't wait to scold.
Waking someone up in the middle of the night is like eating a hearty meal and being robbed of your job in the middle of the night.
This kind of thing is intolerable to her.
She sat up in a daze and shouted, "Let him wait." When will I get up and when will I see him! ”
Bai Guo had no choice but to wet the handkerchief with well water to wipe Wang Xi's face, and said softly: "It's Lord Chen from Lu Mingxuan next door." It's the middle of the night, I'm afraid there is something important to do. Miss should go and see it, so as not to delay the big thing. ”
Dead or on fire? What's the big deal beyond that?
Wang Xi lost his temper unreasonably, and he didn't fully wake up when he got up, and walked out of the inner room sleepily.
Chen Luo stood under the grape trellis in the main courtyard of the Willow Garden, looking at the stone table and stool that had been wet with dew for a few hours after he left, and lowered his head and touched his nose, only then did he feel that it was out of place.
It's just that everyone else came, and those who shouldn't have woken up also woke up, so they had to continue to wait.
Fortunately, Wang Xi didn't let him wait long, and came out to see him after simply freshening up.
He felt guilty, but he didn't know what to say for a while, or Wang Xi asked him gently, and then he started with two staff members and talked about his guess: "...... I'm afraid that I have to ask Dr. Feng to come forward and quietly help the emperor see what his condition is so that people can feel at ease. ”
For a while, he asked Dr. Feng to help recommend a doctor to test the emperor, and for a while, he asked Dr. Feng to take action in person; After a while, he decided to ask a staff member to help him deal with some chores, and then he wanted to let the family be a military advisor; Don't look at what kind of situation you are in, why don't you sell a scribe with the ability to level the world to the emperor's family, and want to sell you a second son of Zhenguo Gong who is not even a prince?
Wang Xi was woken up from a deep sleep, and she had to deal with such a complicated matter, and her eldest lady's temper also came, and she lost her temper when she heard the words: "Do you know why our affairs have not progressed? It's because you're too grinding! Monarchs and ministers, even biological sons like the second prince know that there are monarchs and ministers first, and then there are fathers and sons. It's good that you didn't even see the emperor's face, but you guessed that the emperor might be sick, so you were already in a mess and turned upside down. If I were you, just think about it, why don't you dare to ask the emperor directly where the incense in the Qianqing Palace comes from? Let's see if the emperor will tell you? ”
