Chapter 37: Cold Toad
At the beginning of the new day's court meeting, he was spitting at the top of the court and twisting the court to go down to the court, and Gan Cao still couldn't figure out how to convict him.
Naturally, each faction in the DPRK and China has its own opinions, and if it is based on "illegal opium possession", it will be dismissed from office and exiled for 3,000 miles; If it is "smuggling opium", it is really a capital crime, and it will also affect the family.
But if you want to talk about smuggling, then it will involve many forces, no one is willing to give up their interests to others, this quarrel has never been quiet, and finally ended with Empress Dowager Lin's sentence "The quarrel hurts the family's brain".
Behind the heavy bead curtain, I first saw an incense burner with smoke, and a few wisps of smoke lingered for a long time before they dispersed, and the room was filled with the fragrance that was clear but not cold.
I saw a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes half-crooked and half-leaning on the couch, unable to see her age, her eyebrows were sparse, but she nodded her lips with a brightly colored lipstick. She wore a high bun and a pair of red gold distractions. Wearing a pine green placket stand-up collar pipa sleeve long jacket, weaving gold cloud shoulders and sleeves for Luanfeng and Ming patterns, and a stone blue horse-faced skirt tied underneath. The shoes were taken off, and only a pair of socks were shrunk under the skirt.
There was a half-kneeling person beside her, dressed in a red patch, with a patch on his chest and back, a gold and jade ring around his waist, a tooth tag and an eggplant bag hanging on it, and a silver sharkskin scabbard knife tied with a red velvet braid on the left tassel, but six or seven inches long, and a pair of small toothbins hanging next to him, and a pair of white suede boots. The red is white, and when he wears it, the whole person is even more deceitful. This person lowered his head and used a delicate small hammer to beat the legs of the beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes on the couch, and when he raised his head, it was Qiu Anren, the Indian and factory duke who leaned towards the government and the opposition!
The beautiful woman opened her lips lightly and called, "An Ren." ”
Qiu Anren responded: "Eh, Niangniang, the slave is here." Is it the slave who hammers hard? ”
This knew that this beautiful woman was the Empress Dowager Lin, her eyes were half-open and half-closed, she stretched out her hand, her nails were dyed with red and bright Kodan, she beckoned to Qiu Anren: "Come, come to the mourning family." ”
Qiu Anren obediently felt that he stepped forward on his knees and lay on the side of the Empress Dowager Lin's couch.
Empress Dowager Lin casually put her hand on Qiu Anren's head, but what she touched was his three-mountain crown, frowned on her eyebrows, raised her hand and flew out.
Qiu Anren kowtowed: "The slave should die." ”
Empress Dowager Lin straightened up, frowned, and said in a low voice: "I took off the net too." ”
Qiu Anren removed the net towel from his head as he said, put it on the ground, and lowered his head without looking at her. I only heard the voice above my head: "Good boy, come here." ”
Qiu Anren leaned his head over as he said, and Empress Dowager Lin put her hand on his head, rubbing the top of his hair back and forth, and then slowly closed her eyes again.
If you talk about skin and beauty, God is like Qiu Anren's own father, and he can rarely find a fault in him, he is as beautiful as a dummy, and even that handful of hair is black and shiny, compared to the temples of many women. On his head was the temperature of Empress Dowager Lin's palm, Qiu Anren lowered his eyelids, and an unpredictable look flashed in his eyes, which quickly disappeared.
Empress Dowager Lin's voice floated in the air, like green smoke floating on the incense burner: "Recite a paragraph of "Preface to King Teng's Pavilion" to the mourning family." ”
Qiu Anren didn't think about it, and said with his lips: "Yuzhang's old county, Hongdu Xinfu." The stars are divided into wings, and the ground is connected to Henglu. ......" His voice was clear, with a little bit of a juvenile taste that should not be there at this age, clean and clean, and it was really nice to read.
When Empress Dowager Lin heard him finish reciting the whole poem, a smile appeared on her face, and she said, "You come forward and press the head of the mourning family." ”
Qiu Anren responded, stood up, turned behind her, started from her temples, and gently rubbed it: "Slave like this, Niangniang feels like this?" ”
Empress Dowager Lin bowed slightly, and turned to talk about something else: "Good boy, it's hard for you, it's all bad things during the court meeting, and you have to be served here by the mourning family." It's all Indian, and it is not necessary to do everything yourself like this. ”
Qiu Anren opened his mouth and said: "How can I leave my mother's affairs to others." The slave and maid were not at ease. ”
"You kid, how stingy." She stretched out her finger, but she couldn't see it, so she wanted to poke Qiu Anren's face. Qiu Anren hurriedly put his face up, and sure enough, he let her poke it. Empress Dowager Lin smiled and turned to him: "Look at this Gan Cao, how to deal with it." ”
"The slave didn't dare to speculate about the will of heaven, and asked the mother for advice." Qiu Anren said.
Empress Dowager Lin laughed twice: "You are so transparent with a child, can you still not understand this?" The mourning family is lifting you up, don't be hypocritical. Well? In the end, the nasal voice was soft and glutinous, and Qiu Anren's eyelashes trembled, and he finally opened his mouth.
"Although Anren is stupid, he also knows how to write the word 'let the tiger return to the mountain', if you pick it up high and put it down gently, our game will be done in vain. The new faction is quite crowded, and our dynasty is the most taboo about this 'forming a party for personal gain', and now as soon as this incident comes out, we can see that there are many people who defend Gancao, and without exception they are all from those new factions. If these people are all in a league and are more affectionate than Jin, and they are all together, will Niangniang be restrained by these people in the future. How can this power be guaranteed in the hands of the mother and the emperor, and my great balance is inevitably unstable. This sentence seemed to poke at the pain point of Empress Dowager Lin, and her temples suddenly burst out twice uneasily.
Qiu Anren paused after speaking, and pouted: "The slave and maid have trespassed, and the crime deserves death." ”
Empress Dowager Lin said: "It's okay. ”
Qiu Anren's eyes were not focused, as if he was looking into the distance: "Gan Cao has to die." ”
Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Lin laughed instead: "Ouch, on a good day, it's really bad to talk about what you can't die on." She straightened up and grabbed Qiu Anren's hand, "This looks like the hand holding the pen and playing the piano, where can you put it on the sword and see blood, don't you say?"
"That's what the mother said." Qiu Anren smiled, warm and warm, where the Empress Dowager Lin could see, he had a smile on his face all the year round, and then I don't know if he was used to it or how, he always had a smiling face when he saw him.
Empress Dowager Lin patted his hand lightly: "What kind of mother, you call a small word of mourning, and when the mourning family is happy, I will reward you with a life." ”
Gan Cao's life.
Qiu Anren pursed his lips with a smile, and he called: "Cold toad." ”
Empress Dowager Lin grabbed his hand and giggled with a smile: "I am born when the clouds disappear and the rain is gone, and the moon is in the sky, so the word 'Han Toad'" should be used."
……
Half an hour later, Qiu Anren went out of the Queen Mother's palace with a box of pearl powder in his hand.
Empress Dowager Lin said to him like this: "This Laoshizi is a tribute from Goryeo, on par with our Dongzhu, there are not a few boxes in the palace, you can take it and rub your face." ”
