Chapter 128: Eavesdropping Outside the Door
In the afternoon, Hanyan went to the market shop to buy incense powder, and when he walked on the street, he found that the atmosphere was different from the past, and people seemed to be talking about something.
Walking into the incense powder shop, the conversations of several girls inside inadvertently entered her ears.
"I saw it this morning, the cart of wooden boxes covered with red cloth was pulled from the direction of the palace gate to the Zhenguo Mansion."
"At that time, the dowry that the queen mother gave to Miss Su was purchased according to the specifications of the county lord."
"Speaking of which, the young lady of the Zhenguo Mansion family is the first noble daughter in our Hyunyin City, and now the big wedding is rewarded by the queen's mother, and the Tao family's businessman family can marry this daughter-in-law."
"You are wrong, although the Tao family has not entered the ranks in the past dynasties, the power in this Hyun Yin City is very important, not to mention that the family is rich and rivals the country, since the imperial merchant of the imperial seal is recognized by the above, I don't know how many powerful people want to climb, so the Tao family is not high, and this is called a strong alliance."
"Yes, yes, I heard that although the son of the Tao family was born in a family of merchants, he is a good talker and outstanding in literature, and he is not at all like those gentlemen who only know how to eat and drink and have fun, and the annual autumn poetry meeting is initiated by him Zhang Luo."
"You've all heard that I've seen a real person, and that Tao Gongzi is really handsome and personable......" the girl said with a look of longing.
The other two girls quipped: "Look at your intoxicated appearance, wake up, the Su family and the Tao family will get married in three days!" ”
"That is, if you hate to marry, I heard that General Su Yan, the sister-in-law of the Zhenguo Mansion, has not yet married a wife."
"You two talk about the blue sky and the day, look at me if I don't unscrew the meat of the two of you and drink and eat at night!"
So saying, the three girls ran out of the shop in a fumb.
"Girl? Are you in love with this fan? The shopkeeper saw Hanyan standing aside and called her.
Hanyan came back to his senses and found that he was holding a box of incense powder in his hand.
"You really have an eye, this is our new pear pollen yesterday, it is fine and white on the face, you can try it!"
"Oh, no, no, I suddenly remembered that there are some other things, try again another day." With that, she jerked around and ran out.
When she came to the door of Sikong's private house, the servant of the house recognized Hanyan and welcomed her in, and the housekeeper saw her as if she was a savior.
"Girl with cigarettes, help us persuade the adults, he came back from outside this morning without saying a word, only a vigorous wine, this afternoon has passed, the grain of rice has not entered, but the wine has drunk several jars."
Hanyan followed the servants into the inner courtyard, saw the empty wine jar lying all over the ground, and said worriedly: "What nonsense, no matter how good the amount of alcohol is, something will happen if you drink it like this!" ”
"Who says it's not, but the little ones don't help persuading you, don't you come, help stop it......"
"Well, I'll try."
Hanyan approached Sikong Shaoyang, and a strong smell of wine rushed towards him, only to see him sitting on the ground leaning on the stone bench and pouring wine with his head up.
"Sikong Shaoyang, don't drink it." Unexpectedly, Sikong Shaoyang continued to drink as if he hadn't heard it.
"You're going to have an accident if you drink so much!" Hanyan stepped forward and wanted to snatch the wine jar, but was pushed away by Sikong Shaoyang, stumbled, and Hanyan fell to the ground.
The pain in her body stimulated Han Yan, her nose was sore, and she shouted to Sikong Shaoyang: "Since you can't let go of her, go and take her back to you!" What are you doing now? ”
Sikong Shaoyang stopped the wine bottle in his hand, "Take it back?" As if he had heard some joke, he sneered: "Heh, she won't come back." ”
After that, he continued to pick up the wine jar, and found that it was empty, so he threw it aside, propped himself up on the stone bench, and went to look for wine.
Hanyan had never seen such a soulless and desperate Sikong Shaoyang, she didn't know how to appease and dissuade him, so she had to watch him quietly beside her. Later, after drinking another pot of wine, he fell asleep on the stone table.
Hanyan called the servant and carried him into the house and collapsed.
In Sikong Shaoyang's dream, he kept repeating Su Wu's last sentence over and over again: "Brother Shaoyang, let me go......."
Hanyan stayed by Sikong Shaoyang's bedside and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. Sikong Shaoyang didn't sleep well, frowning, breathing short, and whispering a few times from time to time, all of them were calling Su Wu's name.
It wasn't until the evening that Sikong Shaoyang improved slightly, and his breathing calmed down.
Su Yao, Su Yao, do you know how much I envy you for being able to have Sikong Shaoyang's love completely?
Because you have affection for each other, I am willing to give up my obsession with him, but why do you suddenly want to marry into the Tao family?
"No, there's got to be something wrong with that."
Suspicious, thinking that Tao Zhongyu wanted to cooperate with him several times, and even used some unpopular means, although he later had a tough attitude and did not continue to entangle, it did not mean that he Tao Zhongyu himself would not continue to act. Now Su Wan is resolute and breaks off with Sikong Shaoyang, or Tao Zhongyu is simply obstructing it......
Thinking of Sikong Shaoyang's loveless appearance when he was drunk, Hanyan decided to find Tao Zhongyu to find out.
Hanyan passed by Jingfuju when he was on his way to Tao's mansion, but happened to see Tao Zhongyu and his entourage walking in.
"He is about to get married, and all kinds of things in the house must be busy, why did he come to Jingfuju so late?" Hanyan muttered in his heart, "Okay, I'll go to the Tao Mansion to meet me." ”
She followed in, and found that Tao Zhongyu went straight up to the third floor and entered his exclusive room, and then sent the shopkeeper and Xiao Er out with a cold face.
There must be something strange in this, Hanyan thought so, avoiding the shopkeeper and the others, and quietly crouched in the dark of the door, carefully listening to the conversation inside.
"Young Master, you really don't plan to deal with that former emperor's chamberlain?"
"At that time, Su Wu only said that I should control the attendant, but she didn't let me take his life, her temperament is the most kind, so why should I do more, and wouldn't it be more beneficial for me to keep the attendant's life?"
"What does the young master mean is that in the future, if Miss Su Wan repents or Sikong Shaoyang comes to make trouble, he can let the chamberlain come out as a witness at any time to expose Sikong Shaoyang's poisoning of the former emperor?"
Tao Zhongyu hooked the corners of his mouth, and a trace of essence flashed in his eyes.
"The young master is wise, the little one will definitely find someone to take a good look at that attendant."
Every word in the room was clearly heard by the smoke outside the door, and she covered her mouth in horror, what did she hear just now? Could it be that Su Wu agreed to marry Tao Zhongyu entirely to protect Sikong Shaoyang? And the first emperor was actually poisoned by Sikong Shaoyang? This......
She was about to continue listening, but the table between her wrists accidentally touched the door frame and made a crunching sound.
"Boom!"
"Who? Who's outside the door?! ”
