Chapter 173 Meeting the Genius of the Capital
The scene outside the door of the Qiangang Hall just now kept replaying in Jinhua's mind, and she always felt as if she had missed something, but she couldn't say what she had missed?
The breathless call just now, Xing'er ...... Did you hear it wrong? Why does it feel so familiar.
She thought about it carefully, the minister who had just stood with Jing Jin, the minister with a very raw face, couldn't think of the appearance of that person after thinking about it for a long time, it seemed that there was something wrong, but she didn't know what was wrong.
All afternoon, Jinhua stayed on this matter, extremely inattentive, and could transcribe at least thirty or forty copies of the transcribed pieces in half a day, but today, these five copies have been lying on the bookcase for almost an hour, and there is not even a single ink spot on the white paper she copied.
Emperor Yude also discovered her changes and kept comforting her, if she is uncomfortable, don't copy it today, it is better to save it until tomorrow, and have a good rest today.
Jinhua agreed to the emperor's suggestion, took the initiative to ask for leave, and went back to his residence to rest, just to brush his thoughts.
-------------------------------------
And Zhu Xun, who is a father, is not as good as his daughter.
On the way from the Qiangang Hall to the West Palace Gate, Zhu Xun's legs were like being filled with lead, extremely heavy, facing the girl who had grown into an adult just now, Zhu Xun was full of doubts, and he couldn't solve it, he struggled in endless contradictions, as if the whole person had become a walking corpse.
"Lord Zhu, further forward is the West Palace Gate, and the minions can only be sent here, Lord Zhu, please." The little eunuch took his leave.
Zhu Xun nodded as if he had lost his soul, and the little eunuch retired.
The leading eunuch had just taken a few steps when Zhu Xunfu called him back again.
"Master Zhu, what else do you have to order?"
"May I ask ......" Zhu Xun hesitated, whether he wanted to ask or not, and the little eunuch motioned for him to hurry up.
"Excuse me, who is the woman who just met me and His Royal Highness King Lin?" Zhu Xun finally asked what he wanted to know most.
"Oh, that female official, that's the holy royal female official with a pen, chaste and obedient Neishe." The little eunuch replied with a smile.
"Then little brother, do you know this woman's name and surname?"
"Who doesn't know, that girl's name is Jinhua, her surname is ......" The little eunuch scratched the back of his head.
"Do you have the same last name as me?" Zhu Xun asked.
"Yes, yes, really, if you don't say it, I don't think I think it's the same surname as adults. The surname is Zhu, yes, it is often said that it is Zhu's Jinhua, that's right. ”
"Then ......" Zhu Xun asked again. But the little eunuch was obviously a little impatient, there should be a lot of things to do, Zhu Xun saw this and quickly let him go, and he fell into a new round of more serious contemplation.
Suddenly, Zhu Xun walked quickly towards the West Palace Gate, which is the only way for Beijing officials to enter the palace on weekdays, and it is far away from the East Palace Gate, and its function is roughly the same.
Zhu Xun found his sedan chair man outside the West Palace Gate, urging him to go back to the house quickly, and several sedan chair drivers saw the ordinary and extremely steady and serious Lord Zhu, so anxious, they were not used to it.
Simply, Zhu Xun's mansion in the capital was not far from the West Palace Gate, and it didn't take long for him to turn into the official alley. Then Zhu Xun didn't care about the false courtesy of entering the sedan chair, and directly asked the sedan chair driver to stop the sedan chair in front of the gate, and trotted all the way into the mansion by getting off the sedan chair.
"Come on! Come! Zhu Xun rushed directly into the main hall and shouted.
After a while, a few little maids and a few maids and ladies all ran into the main hall, Lord Zhu is usually gentle, and today's tone is afraid that there is something very serious to reprimand.
Everyone came in, and they lined up cautiously, and you look at me, and I look at you, and they don't know what's going on.
"Why are there so many people?"
The servants were even more puzzled and at a loss, so they had to bow down and wait for the master to reprimand. This is Ruyu and Qingxuan, the two ladies also walked out of the back hall, and when they saw the family members standing neatly, they were also frightened, thinking that something important had happened.
"Master, isn't it the imperial court?" Mrs. Ruyu stepped forward to ask.
"Hey!" Master Zhu patted the table, turned his back, and waved his hand behind him.
There was no one like Ruyu who knew Zhu Xun anymore, so Mrs. Ruyu let everyone disperse.
"Master, it's better to go to the back hall or the study." Qing Xuan also didn't understand Zhu Xun's sad face.
"I ......" Zhu Xun turned around and wanted to explain to the two, but he didn't know how to speak.
"Let's go." Saying that, Ruyu stretched out her hand and pushed Zhu Xun, and the three of them moved to the back hall study and retreated everyone.
Ruyu made people make a cup of tea again, and cleared the fire for Zhu Xunqing. Zhu Xun drank a cup and sighed again, and the two ladies were also confused.
"Master, isn't it the imperial court that has let it go again?"
Zhu Xun shook his head, and the two ladies looked at each other, not knowing why, and they could only wait for him to say it himself. After a long time, Zhu Xun finally opened his mouth leisurely.
"I ...... I saw the stars. ”
"What?!" The two ladies spoke in unison.
"I said, I see the stars." Zhu Xun shouted.
"Huh? Really? The two ladies stepped forward together.
"Where? Where is it? Is the child good? Is there no human form anymore? "Say it quickly, say it quickly!" …… The two ladies asked a series of questions.
Seeing that Zhu Xun didn't answer, Qing Xuan thought of the worst possibility, "Isn't it true that my daughter has fallen into those pickled places in the Qin Mansion Chu Pavilion?" ”
Qing Xuan couldn't accept it for a while, and sat down on the ground, two lines of clear tears slipping down.
"Sister, sister!" Ruyu hurriedly stepped forward to help.
"No, I just look like our daughter, but I'm not sure."
Zhu Xun told the two ladies what he met today, how he met His Royal Highness King Lin, how he talked about his daughter, the female official in the mouth of the emperor and His Royal Highness King Lin, etc., when it came to passing by his daughter and did not dare to step forward, Zhu Xun choked up, beat his head and shouted regret, and scolded himself for cowardice.
When the two ladies heard this, all the bad thoughts before were thrown away, and it turned out that the daughter still had this opportunity, and she actually entered the palace, and was appointed as a female official by the current saint.
The two ladies looked at each other and smiled, both showed joy, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort their husbands, but the three of them cried together, and after more than ten years, the daughter finally had a real whereabouts, and there was no need to worry every time she thought about it.
Zhu Xun recovered his spirit slightly, but he cried again, beating his chest, waiting for the two ladies to stop him, and when he stepped forward to ask, Zhu Xun actually said that he hated that he had not entered Beijing as a Beijing official for a long time, and the two ladies were speechless and froze on the spot, and after a while, the three of them laughed again.
The maids and ladies who were waiting in the courtyard wondered what was wrong with the three masters, crying and laughing for a while, crying and laughing for a while, and they started to talk about it. In the end, it was Granny Feng who dispersed the crowd.
Granny Feng, who was nursing in the backyard, had just received the news that the master and the two ladies were weird, so she hurriedly came up to the front quietly, and only then stepped into the courtyard, and saw the servants talking about it.
Granny Feng came to the study and knocked on the door, and when Ruyu heard that it was her old man, she quickly invited her into the house and told her the news of her daughter's whereabouts.
Granny Feng also laughed at first, even said that it was good, and then cried again, crying can be described as crying, Miss was lost in her hands, she felt guilty for more than ten years, and finally got released at this moment, why not cry.
When Granny Feng went, she was crying and laughing, laughing and crying like the three masters, and everyone in the mansion was surprised, could it be that there was something happy and evil in this mansion? For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the Zhu Mansion.
About a quarter of an hour passed, Granny Feng let out a sigh of relief, smoothed her chest hard, she almost lost her breath from crying just now, and now she has recovered a lot.
"Master, take the old woman to meet the young lady, I really can't wait." Granny Feng said, "She was only so tall when she was separated from me, and what I was still holding should be like this now, no, so tall, right?" ”
Granny Feng used her imagination to guess the height of the teenage girl, and her heart was full of expectations.
Hahahaha! Zhu Xun stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Insult mother, Xing'er is already so tall, it is almost to the ears and temples of his son." ”
The whole family burst into laughter.
In order to be able to see his daughter again as soon as possible, Zhu Xun almost thundered at the speed of thunder, and handed over the affairs of Gyeonggi with the former Jing Zhaoyin, that is, his father-in-law Lao Taishan, and the handover was clear in three or five days, creating the history of Daxia officialdom again.
Others know that he is a capable minister, but they don't know the reason, the father's love for his daughter is the most indescribable feeling in the world.
When the newcomer Jingzhao Yin Zhu Xun hurriedly caught up with Lin Wang Jingjing, Jinhua led two little eunuchs and went to send the music back from the ministry.
After a few people met, Jinhua just politely saluted Jingjin and the eye-born adult, and then returned to the Qiangang Palace.
But Zhu Xun was stunned on the spot, and trembled.
This...... Isn't it a star? His daughter? Are they all so big now? Zhu Xun's gaze followed the woman closely.
"Xing'er ......" An almost inaudible unison, drawn out of Zhu Xun's mouth, mixed with a father's lack of confidence.
Jinhua walked forward, as if she heard someone behind her calling her name, Jinhua stopped, paused, and waited for the second confirmation, but did not wait.
Zhu Xun looked at Jinhua's back, his whole body trembled like a chicken running through broken rice, and he was so excited that it was difficult to spit out a word, so he could only silently look at Jinhua, who had grown into a big girl.
At this moment, Jinhua hesitated slightly to the side, and Zhu Xun gathered his expectant eyes again with hope, but not as he thought, the woman did not turn back, but hesitated slightly, and hurried back to the Qiangang Palace.
Ay! Zhu Xun blamed himself, why was he so cowardly! Even if he admits his mistake, he should go up and ask! In his heart, the father, who is nearly half a hundred years old, gave himself a heavy punch.
"Lord Zhu, please come here." It was a shrill voice ringing in my ears, but it turned out to be the eunuch who was guiding the way.
"Lord Zhu, Lord Zhu!" Jing Jin stood aside and shouted to him twice, and Zhu Xun came back to his senses.
"Who is this chamberlain?" Zhu Xun asked.
"Lord Zhu, the slave was sent by the emperor to guide you, the emperor said, you are released all the year round, and the route in the palace is probably unfamiliar, I am afraid that you will not be able to argue the direction."
"Divine grace is mighty!" After that, Zhu Xun said goodbye to Jing Jin, and before Jing Jin could answer a series of questions just now, Zhu Xun had already left the little eunuch.
Huh! Jing Jin wanted to step forward and say something, but when she saw Zhu Xun's trembling back and her originally straight waist, she was a little embarrassed at this time, and Jing Jin seemed to have realized something.
Forget it, anyway, their father and daughter still have a chance to see each other again. Jing Jin walked away from the harem with a big stride on the sleeves of his robe.
