Chapter 4 Heavy Curtains
Emperor Liguo stroked his beloved paperweight, let his skin taste the copper water of the copper mountain, and let the taste come to his heart - people, but not only the tongue knows the taste - he likes to look at the twelve or thirteen-year-old little eunuch Xiaogong daughters, in this season to receive new clothes, smiling, as if all the troubles are vented with the spring light. Deputy Chief He and a few newly favored apprentices are replacing the imperial study with bamboo curtains for spring. In the wind, the smell of grass is everywhere.
"Your Majesty is so happy today." The great eunuch said. He has the greatest ability to observe words and colors, "You look at General Xiaohou and Captain Yuwen, a bunch of children, what a lovely person!" ”
These words went with the emperor's thoughts, "Cong'er is a little interesting, and this girl in white is also a little interesting." Look, if the world is peaceful, they are a good match, what a pleasing pair. ”
"Looking at the emperor's meaning, I feel that the general of our Dali Dynasty is more touching than the prince of Chengguo in the south!"
The master and the slave laughed. Eunuch He retracted, walked over and pinched the dragon's shoulder for the emperor, "But then again, although men and women are matched and they are not tired of work, this escort mission is not ordinary." If you do grow some branches and leaves, when the time comes, don't delay your big event. ”
"I, why haven't I thought about this." The emperor's face became gloomy and unforgiving. He motioned to Eunuch He that he didn't need to pinch his shoulders anymore, and personally opened the secret compartment in a small pillar next to the imperial desk, and took out a willow medicine box smaller than a girl's palm from the innermost, which was small and extremely cute. Eunuch He leaned over and took it. A little later, one of his closest apprentices knocked on the back door of General Murong's house in Chaoyu Lane, and unknowingly, delivered it to Murong Xing's hands.
The Murong family is also changing the spring curtain. He is the eldest son of the family, his biological mother died early, he has grown up under his mother's knees to this day, tall, thin-faced, melancholy and silent eyes, with a little gray pupils, adding a touch of mystery. He easily didn't speak, and in the layer of clothes he was wearing, the incense hung wrapped in a strand of his mother's hair.
Murong Xing followed Hou Cong at the age of thirteen and was extremely meticulous. However, the Murong family has been on an errand for the Hou family for less than 20 years. Further up, they were originally the emperor's personal soldiers, and they were transferred after Hou Chong's death. The real master of the Murong family is always the emperor. The Hou family is in turmoil, and his father has to report it to the palace.
In the Mid-Autumn Festival of that year, my father was not present because of the birth of a concubine, otherwise, it might not have been Xia Yi who was found out later in the Yuwenjia Painting Hall.
Murong Xing has borne this secret since he was a child, and it is one of the reasons why he is so silent now.
The emperor's will was dictated, and even Murong Xing's father, Murong Li, the general of Chenghua, didn't need to know, anyway, he was also bent on how to divide the monthly money of too many concubines and children - after the team went south, Murong Xing acted as usual, starting from arriving at the fine snow city by the river, and finding a way to mix pink medicinal powder into the diet of the white clothes; Stop within 10 days after arriving in Pingdu; After the date of the Buddha Bathing Ceremony was chosen, the yellow medicinal powder was mixed into Hou Cong's diet.
Murong Xing took the things, knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the palace, saying "the minister obeys the order", then got up, rewarded the little eunuch with a silver and red handkerchief, and quietly sent him away the way he came.
He thought of the things in the palace and outside the palace during the day, and felt that other people's moods were different from his own, and a sad estrangement enveloped him.
Hou Cong was so stupid for the first time, and said "what" several times in front of the emperor. When he left the palace, he shouted "Da Mao, Er Mao, and Three Mao," and instructed Murong Xing, Dugu Zheng, and Yuan You to go to the camp in the afternoon to count and distribute the white candles used in the spring, but his eyes kept staring at Mo Chang. - According to the rules, the prince walked in the front, led by only a small eunuch, and the others followed him out of the palace.
Mo Chang had just arrived outside, and he was not in a hurry to take a sedan chair, but he stopped Bai Yi and asked her to go to see the flowers.
Hou Cong's order stopped halfway through, and Murong Xing couldn't wait, so he and his master paid attention to the small drama of Mo Chang and Baiyi.
Without waiting for Bai Yi to speak, Changkong blocked in the middle, "Your Highness, you have something to tell your subordinates." The subordinates also escorted the team to the south. Yuwen Changkong, fortunately, fortunately. What do you eat in the morning? ”
Mo Chang didn't get angry, and asked again: "I asked the girl in white if she would like to go to see the flowers together." Whether it's by the swallow lake or by the Fenghe River, it depends on the girl's favorite; Time also picks with the girl. Thanks to the love of the emperor of your country, the place where I live temporarily, there are small servants, grooms, and carriages, and I will come to pick up the girl when the time comes. “
Changkong snorted, "Who doesn't have these things, if you really look at flowers, do you still need your broken car?" Unfortunately, my sister doesn't go out. ”
"Long sky, don't be rude!" As a boss, how can Hou Cong allow his subordinates to speak disrespectfully to the prince of another country? He seized the opportunity and strode forward.
"How do you talk to Your Highness?" Hou Cong grimaced.
Yuwen has been in the sky for a lifetime, can he still care about this? "General Xiaohou, anyway, you know, this rule was set by my father, and my sister is not allowed to go out of the second door-"
As soon as Changkong said this, the conversation was intercepted by Mo Chang, "Then I'll go to the door and ask General Yuwen for permission." The girl in white, I am fortunate to meet today, see the girl like seeing the flowers bloom, see the girl like a spring breeze, say goodbye for the time being, please add meals to the girl, go down to the medicine, cherish thousands, and then wait for the reunion, in my heart, thinking of the girl. The girl goes first, Xiao Wang sees it! ”
This time, not to mention Hou Cong and Murong Xing, Dugu Zheng, and Yuan again, even Changkong, who was self-styled as the "sweet and romantic king", was stunned. "I can't let my sister be bewitched by this acid king", Changkong looked at Bai Yi and smiled at Mo Chang, pulled her away with a cigarette.
Hou Cong shouted, and he didn't know if he wanted Bai Yi to hear: "Da Mao, Ermao, Sanmao, follow me to escort His Highness back to the house!" ”
On the way back to Dongfeng Lane, although Mo Chang was sitting in a small sedan chair with a newly finished roof, he always felt that the fire in Hou Cong's eyes shot into it from the outside. He was not angry but happy, not only to see Bai Yi again, but also for Hou Cong's cuteness.
Finally arrived at the mansion where Mo Chang was under house arrest, and the words "Great General's Mansion" and the lantern with the word "Chang" written on it were still there. Hou Cong gave an order, "Da Mao, Ermao, and Sanmao, call more than a dozen recruits to come over and dismantle them for me!" ”
The three henchmen were busy, Hou Cong neither entered the courtyard nor left, clasped his arms with both hands, and the dark clouds on his face were full of questions: "Did His Highness fall in love with the dead girl in Yuwen Baiyi?" ”
In addition to Changkong, Hou Cong can be regarded as the second man who laughs as beautiful as a demon woman. However, Changkong's face is more charming and enchanting, while Mo Chang's is as warm as jade. He smiled, but his mouth was unforgiving: "What are you doing? ”
Hou Cong was naturally not afraid of him and asked, "Hmph, she is my subordinate, and I am responsible for the safety of His Highness, why don't you care about my business?" My subordinates, in which drawer a needlework is stored, I have to ask, which alley to go to, who to accompany and drink flower wine, they have to report to me, so that they can do things, and you also lead the army, don't you understand? ”
Mo Chang shook his head and streaked an elegant and transparent cloud across the spring air, "I understand, but it's a pity you don't understand." Do you still need to answer such a simple question? It can be seen that you don't understand the affairs of men and women. Let's study hard. Since the general refuses to descend to the contempt to drink tea and chat, then he does not force it, please take care of yourself. ”
Mo Chang followed the little maid Cuizhu who greeted the gate into the courtyard.
Hou Cong pondered Mo Chang's words a few times, and hated this prince more and more. He walked behind Dugu Zheng, who was picking up the lantern. "Mao, do you think Mo Chang really likes that dead girl?"
"Ahh
"Speak well! What is ah! ”
Dugu Zheng had no choice but to stop the activity in his hand, "Of course I like it!" All Datong knows, but you don't know. "Dugu Zheng has a handsome baby face, and just now, he has changed into a scarlet robe, which is very beautiful.
Yuan with phoenix eyes and melon seed face was the smallest, claiming that he was still growing, and he also came over, "Master, during the Chinese New Year, Mo Chang was summoned into the palace by the emperor to make a poetry competition, and he inquired about the more than 100 people present," Yuan began to imitate Mo Chang's graceful and elegant appearance again, "Xiao Wang fought in Duquan Town, and met a female general, Yiren was as amazing as a fairy, Xiao Wang's heart thundered, although he was captured, there was no moment of resentment, do you know the identity of that female general?" Do you know? What about this Excellency? ”
Hou Cong couldn't believe his ears, "Why didn't I know?" ”
Dugu thought about it and replied to him, "Writing poetry or something is not our forte, and no one has ever invited us to the Poetry Competition." As for these gossips, you don't usually care. Nobody told you. ”
Hou Cong: "You're going to tell me in the future, you know?" ”
Dugu Zheng and Yuan shouted "yes" loudly, and Murong walked over. He was the most stable and reminded Hou Cong: "Master, didn't you say that you want to tell Mo Changchengguo about his plan to harm him in three steps, and that we arranged for the deceased?" Did you just say that? ”
At this moment, Hou Cong couldn't wait to wipe his neck - after 9 years in the army, for the first time, he forgot about business.
"It's all the dead girl." Yuan comforted his master again.
"Woe to the water." Dugu Zheng thought he was literate but used the wrong word, and was pointed at by Murong Xing and flicked on the door of his head.
Fortunately, Hou Cong turned around and entered the courtyard and didn't hear it.
