Chapter 2 The first acquaintance of smoke and rain
In front of the pavilion, the spring is full of red and heroic, and the dance is lingering. The drizzle is slight, and it is temporarily open when you don't let go of your eyebrows. The green window is calm and fragrant, and the incense is turned to ash. But Nai feelings, sleepy and hazy dreams.
"Master Sun, what have you found out?" A handsome and elegant man stared closely at a middle-aged man with a resolute face in front of him.
I saw that the middle-aged man shook his head and sighed: "Gu Gongzi, I know you are worried in your heart, but Long Live Lord has already sent a message about this matter, I just want to help Lord Shen, but I also have more than enough strength but not enough power." ”
"But you know that Lord Shen has been wronged." Gu Yanzhao frowned.
"Zhao'er." A deep, powerful voice sounded behind itself.
I saw a tall, tall and sturdy middle-aged man walk in.
"Father." Gu Yanzhao arched his hand and shouted.
"I told you a long time ago that when you finish your errand, you will go home to accompany your mother, why do you run to Master Sun every day when you get off the business? How did you ask Lord Sun to handle the case? Gu Yanting frowned and said in a deep voice.
Gu Yanzhao only lowered his head and did not refute.
"Master Gu, don't blame Gongzi Ling, he can still help the old man solve a puzzle or two every day, it's too late for the old man to be grateful!" Sun Daren.
Gu Yanting knew that he said this because of his face, and it was not easy to teach his son in front of outsiders, so he sighed and asked, "Master Sun, how is this case now?" ”
"Alas, the officials below bite Lord Shen and don't let go, it's very tricky!" Master Sun said with a sad face.
"What did the Lord of Banzai say?" Gu Yanting said.
"Long live Lord said that you can't be convicted just by the words of those people, so this is why you have been holding Lord Shen in custody. Ordered me to gather evidence. ”
"The evidence for conviction is incomplete, but if you let go of the Long Live Lord and your heart is not calm, this matter is really a dilemma!" Gu Yanting looked at his son who was standing beside him, and saw that his face was haggard, and he felt a little distressed. These days, Gu Yanzhao has been running around a lot for the affairs of the Shen family, Gu Yanzhao and the daughter of the Shen family are in love, and they wanted to wait for the beginning of spring to go to the Shen Mansion to propose marriage, but who knew that this happened at the beginning of the year, and now Shen Weizhong was imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion, and Shen Suyi was also sent to the Xin Zheku, the two were separated by a palace gate, but separated by a world. How could he marry the daughter of a criminal minister, and how could he save his best friend for many years?
In the cold spring, Su Yi opened a window, wearing a moon-white satin dark flower plum rhyme robe, and her hair was held in a bun with a white jade and plum hairpin.
I still remember that it was also such a rainy day, she went to the birthday banquet of the handkerchief friend, and because she was a woman, she could only gather in the boudoir. Suddenly it began to drizzle outside, the air was full of anxiety and the air was pressed down by the rain, but the house became extremely stuffy, she walked to the corridor, and smelled the fresh smell of the rain washing the soil, and saw the pavilion shrouded in smoke and rain, just thinking about breathing, so she called the girl to hold an umbrella and walked into the pavilion, leaning on the railing to listen to the wind and rain. In the distance, a tall and handsome man came by the rain, he held a bamboo-blue oil-paper umbrella, wearing a white monochrome robe, his handsome face was hidden in a hazy smoke and rain, indescribably good-looking, just a glance, he felt that the most quiet and empty place in his heart seemed to be a shoot, growing slowly and firmly.
When the ladies in the house saw the man, they all walked into the pavilion, only to hear their friends laugh and say, "This is my cousin, Gu Yanzhao, who is now the imperial guard." ”
The man only smiled slightly, but the eyes came up, Su Yi saw a pair of black and white shining eyes, the eyes seemed to be surprised and happy, as if a deep pool, the eyes of the person were tightly locked, only to feel red, ashamed.
The man said: "Cousin, today is your birthday, I know that there are many young ladies here, and I shouldn't have come to this backyard to disturb me, but my aunt said that you have to hand over this gift to you personally, so I came over." Please don't be surprised. After saying that, he made a gentle gesture, but the young lady who attracted her blushed and looked at him with shame and joy.
Everything around her disappeared, and Su Yi only saw a pair of smiling eyes, which clearly had her own reflection in them.
The rain hits the banana leaves with sorrow, and the heart is ashamed of people with the crescent moon. Xinlan is short, and the fog is far away. Traveling far and lonely, the sail floats thousands of miles, and you are in the troubled times. Once protected flowers and cherished spring, a piece of infatuation paid water.
"Suyi." Apricot rubbed her sleepy eyes and called in a low voice.
When she woke up, she saw Su Yi standing in front of the window alone, her figure was graceful, she looked thin and pitiful, as if she had blended into the hazy drizzle outside the house, she only felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, such Su Yi looked so lonely and sad.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Xing'er got up and walked to her, grabbed her arm, and muttered, "Why is it raining?" ”
When Su Yi heard this, Fang came back to his senses and smiled lightly: "This rain has been raining all night, and you only know it now." ”
"It's been a night? Why didn't I hear the rain? Xing'er was taken aback and said.
Su Yi pursed her lips and was silent.
Xing'er stuck out her tongue, with a playful and cute face: "I slept too deeply, right?" He laughed to himself.
"Apricots." There was a knock on the door as he spoke, and someone called.
Xing'er looked at Su Yi in wonder, walked to the door again, and saw a palace man dressed in sandalwood cloud patterns standing outside, so she blessed the blessing and said, "Auntie." ”
"Hmm. The master of the five institutes in Qianxi asked someone to pass on the note. After speaking, he gave Apricot a note.
Xing'er took the note, then hurriedly ran to the bedside, took out some broken silver and handed it to the palace people, and said with a smile: "Thank you, auntie." ”
The palace people left with a smile.
Xing'er hurriedly closed the door, walked to the inner room and turned over her clothes, Su Yi smiled, Qianxi Wusu, it must be the fifth elder brother, right? Although Xing'er and the fifth elder brother have different identities, they can meet often, but what about her. She didn't know if she would be able to get out of this cage-like palace in this life.
"Suyi, do you think I'm good-looking?" Xing'er wore a willow-yellow brocade woven robe, embroidered with some bean-green dark lines on the cuffs, wore glass beaded flowers on her head, inserted a turquoise hairpin, and a pair of bright jade ears swayed non-stop, only lined with a face like peach blossoms, beautiful and moving, she stood in front of Su Yi with joy and asked.
Su Yi smiled: "Naturally good-looking." ”
Xing'er was praised and said happily, "Then I'll go out." ”
Su Yi nodded and said, "Go early and come back early." ”
Women are pleasing to themselves, and that's probably the case. Su Yi couldn't help but think of a person, and a pair of sheared eyes were immediately covered with a layer of smoke.
Xing'er didn't come back until three minutes later, and as soon as she came back, she had a calm face, and Su Yi thought that she had a little trouble with the fifth elder brother, so she didn't ask her. Who knew that at night, she sat in front of Su Yi and said solemnly: "The man you saw in the twilight garden that day was not the fifth elder brother. ”
Su Yi was taken aback, her heart tightened, and she said, "Who is that?" ”
Xing'er didn't speak, Su Yi suddenly felt a chill down her spine, and her heart was beating non-stop, no one knew about Xing'er and the fifth elder brother now, but the man that day must be the elder brother, if he shook this matter out, wouldn't it hurt Xing'er?
After a long time, he said, "Xing'er, I can't stand you." ”
Xing'er shook Su Yi's hand, only to feel cold in her hand, so she comforted: "I don't blame you." It's that I didn't think about it, you have never met the fifth elder brother, but you asked you to pass the message, which is risky. Although I don't know who that person is, no one has mentioned this matter now, so it should be fine. Don't worry. ”
Su Yi's hanging heart just fell, but she still couldn't help but be a little worried.
"By the way, I'll tell you a happy thing." Xing'er suddenly said with a smile.
"What's the matter?" Su Yi asked.
"Today, the fifth elder brother said, in a few days, he will find an excuse for us to go to the imperial dining room on an errand." Apricot said.
"The Imperial Dining Room?" Su Yi muttered in a low voice, and then asked, "But can we enter the imperial dining room?" ”
"Have you forgotten what I was doing outside the palace? I'm the head chef of Drunken Wind House, what kind of dishes can't be, and besides, don't you know how to make pastries? What do we have to be afraid of? ”
He added, "It's not just the imperial dining room, but it's also the imperial dining room of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and we may have a chance to get a glimpse of the Holy Majesty when we go there." The thought of going to a good place immediately made Xing'er's Danfeng eyes smile.
"Anyway, it's better to go to the Imperial Dining Room than to stay in the Xinzhiku." Su Yi sighed. The thought of going to the imperial dining room and maybe having the opportunity to meet that person couldn't help but tremble a little in my heart.
"You!" Xing'er gently tapped Su Yi's forehead and said, "It will be unfounded!" ”
Su Yi held her finger and couldn't help but smile.
