048 Holy Decree
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
When the gongs and drums of the third watch day sounded not far away, the morning breeze in Duanmu Mansion was still brightly lit.
Duanmu Heng, dressed in a blue plain face, walked back and forth in the study with his hands in his hands, his eyebrows tightly locked.
Suddenly, a young man in Tsing Yi came back in a hurry, panting and said: "The eldest young master is not good, it turns out that the eldest girl and the fourth girl have come back a long time ago, but the second lady closed the door, and now the carriage of the eldest girl and the fourth girl has left...... Well, it seems to have been picked up by someone from the Anping Eldest Princess's Mansion! ”
Hearing this, even if his temperament was as calm as Duanmu Heng, at this moment, his complexion sank.
Duanmuheng had long known that Duanmujun and Duanmufei had gone to Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs today, and at dusk, the sisters had not come back, and he already felt that something was wrong, so he ordered the little girl to keep an eye on the side of Ermen, planning to reprimand the sisters when they came back. They don't hold the girl's family and don't let them go out, but the girl's family should pay attention to proportions and go early and return early......
Duanmu Heng didn't expect his mother to do such a stupid thing as not allowing his two younger sisters to enter the door!
Blame him for not being cautious enough, he was too careless!
Duanmu Heng thought about it for a while, and then resolutely ordered the little servant: "Ming Yan, prepare the horse!" ”
Now in the middle of the night, he rushed into the inner house to find his mother's theory, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, and it won't help, but now, he has to get out of the house as soon as possible, stop Duanmujun and Duanmu before they enter the princess's mansion, and bring them back to the mansion.
After a while, the corner door on the side of Duanmu Mansion "creaked" open, and two brown horses came out one after the other, and then galloped along Quanyu Street towards the south, and the sound of horses' hooves gradually faded away......
This night is destined to be full of ups and downs, and when Duanmu Heng came back from the mansion of the eldest princess of Anping, it had just passed the beginning of Yin, and the sky in the early morning had begun to brighten, and the streets were deserted, including Duanmu Mansion.
Duanmu Heng failed to bring back Duanmujun and Duanmufei, when he arrived at the princess's mansion, the sisters had already entered the mansion, and he also tried to knock on the door of the princess's mansion, but the concierge of the princess's mansion only said that it was late, and there was no communication at all.
After all, this matter is the fault of Duanmu Mansion.
Duanmu Heng turned over and dismounted, rubbing his eyebrows tiredly, and now he can't solve the matter alone.
Duanmu Heng threw the horse rope to Ming Yan and strode to Duanmu Xian's residence in the outer courtyard.
The morning court starts every day, but the courtiers must arrive at the palace gate at the beginning of the day, so on weekdays, Duanmu Xian will get up after the end of the day, and this time should be about the same.
Fortunately, Duanmu Xian rested in the outer courtyard today, and when Duanmu Heng passed, he had already gotten up and was washing.
When Duanmu Xian heard the eldest grandson asking to see him, he immediately asked people to take him into the inner room.
Duanmu Heng gave everything he knew one by one, Duanmu Xian's face sank little by little, and he casually threw the white towel into the copper basin, splashing some water droplets, wetting the smooth bluestone slab floor below.
The room was quiet for a moment, and the maids serving next to them were all half-bowing their heads, silent as cicadas.
After Duanmu Xian pondered for a moment, Zhengse ordered: "Brother Heng, don't rest yet. I'll ask the chief steward to prepare some gifts, and when it gets dark, you can go to the princess's mansion again to pick up your eldest sister and fourth sister. ”
"Yes, grandfather." Duanmu Heng solemnly said, "Grandson will definitely bring them back." ”
After that, Duanmuxian called the chief steward again and gave some instructions, but he didn't have time to have breakfast, so he hurried out and went to the morning court.
The chief steward did not dare to neglect the errand assigned by the old lady, and immediately ordered the people to get busy, prepare cars and prepare gifts, and such a big movement naturally alarmed the inner house.
At this time, the sky is completely bright, the sun is rising, and it is another good day with a clear sky.
Xiao He's was greeting He's in Yongxi Hall, and when she heard these things, she was so angry that she almost didn't jump, but she finally remembered that this was Yongxi Hall, and she complained with the anger in her heart: "Mother, Brother Heng still wants to study, just because the sisters didn't return all night, and he didn't sleep all night......
Now I want my son to go to the princess's mansion to pick up people in person with a generous gift, which is too much to promote the two sisters!
According to her, even if they don't pick it up, will Duanmujun and Duanmufei be able to live in the princess's mansion for a lifetime?! It's not like you have to come back!
I don't know what my father-in-law thinks!
Although he had some complaints about Duanmu Xian in his heart, Xiao He didn't dare to put these words on his lips.
He glanced at Xiao He coldly, and Xiao He was suddenly silent, not daring to say any more.
The Buddha beads in He's hand twisted faster, in the final analysis, Xiao He's things were too frizzy, and the third watch actually stopped people in the middle of the night and didn't let them return home, so Ma Wei did it too ugly!
But the pair of sisters are also rampant, no matter how good they are, when they get the news, they will naturally open the door and let them in, who would have thought that they would live in the mansion of the eldest princess of Anping in a fit of anger. The eldest princess of Anping is the sister of the puppet emperor, if people know about last night's incident, maybe they think that their Duanmu family has any friendship with the eldest princess of Anping!
It's so unruly!
He Shi said lightly: "Let's wait for someone to take it back." ”
Xiao He's eyes lit up, and he said in his heart: Yes, when the others came back, their sisters stayed overnight for no reason, and some of them could be punished by their heads. Sure enough, this ginger is still old and spicy!
Thinking about it, Xiao He couldn't wait.
Next, other people from the Duanmu family also came to greet the He family one after another, everything was as usual, and it seemed that no one had noticed that Duanmu and Duanmu were not there today.
After coming out of Yongxi Hall, Xiao He was busy by himself, until halfway through, a little maid came panting, and a pair of eyes on her little face were round.
This maid is too unstable! Xiao He frowned slightly, but he heard the little maid say anxiously: "Second lady, the old lady is back, and there is a father-in-law who came to deliver the decree with the old lady......"
As soon as he heard that there was a holy decree, Xiao He was a little surprised, but he was not too out of shape, after all, the Duanmu family was not an ordinary official eunuch family, and he did not receive the holy decree or Yi decree on weekdays.
Xiao He got up calmly, and was about to give orders to prepare the incense case, when the little maid's next sentence made her stunned:
"The father-in-law said that the emperor has an order, please ask the eldest girl and the fourth girl to go and receive the order!"
