Chapter 133: King Hong's Intent
In the study in the front yard, Huangfu Zhengxiong held a string of fine sandalwood Buddha beads in his hand, stood in front of the window, looked up at the dark night, his expression was cold, his face was detached, and he suddenly spoke, "How did yesterday's investigation go?" ”
"The minions questioned all the minions present last night today, and they didn't ask anything unusual." The housekeeper wanted to say that in the situation like yesterday, all the people standing in the room were masters, and all of them were not easy to mess with, and it was really troublesome to want to carefully investigate. However, he knew that what Huangfu Zhengxiong wanted was not telling the truth, but just a progress in the matter.
Hearing this, Huangfu Zhengxiong really did not investigate carefully, "Since there is no result, I will investigate, pay attention carefully, there will definitely be a result." ”
"Yes." Huangfu Zhengxiong waved his hand, and the butler turned around and left the study. Masao didn't stand here for long, and after a moment turned and went back to his room. On the second day, An Mingchen went to the morning court early, and Huang Fuxue finished breakfast and was about to go to the restaurant, but saw Huang Fuyun's maidservant walk in.
"Second Miss, our young lady is invited." Yuzhu is Huangfuyun's personal maidservant, and these errands are done by another maid on weekdays, why is she here today? Huang Fuxue was puzzled, "What's the matter, Miss Ben will go to the restaurant later, if there is nothing important, I will go to the third sister when I come back in the evening." ”
Huang Fuyun and Huang Fu Yue are not fuel-efficient lamps, and now he is too busy with his own troubles, but he has no heart to mix with others, let alone play games with them. She saw everything in her eyes yesterday, Huangfuyun has always been smart, but she just likes to pretend to be confused. She didn't believe what happened that day, he didn't suspect Huang Fuyue.
She didn't say it, either she had her own plans, or she wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Either way, she wasn't interested. Caiyu hasn't shown up since she left last night, this is not like the girl's style, she is a little uneasy, and is ready to go over and take a look.
Yuzhu knew that the second young lady was smart and thoughtful, but she didn't expect that he just said such a sentence, and she rejected her. I was a little anxious for a while.
"Second Miss, my young lady cried for a long time yesterday, and she didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night, and she asked the slave to come over when she got up in the morning......" The implication is that if Huangfu Xue refuses again, it will seem that she is not a sister.
At this time, Caiyu walked in, her eyes were swollen, and she looked like she was crying last night, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's nothing, there were a lot of mosquitoes last night, and I accidentally bit my eye." Caiyu said the reasons she had thought of in advance, and she looked safe and sound. Huangfu Xue stepped forward and said in a cold voice, "Are you stupid for me, or do you think it's safe to hide it from me like this?" ”
"Miss, slave maid ......" Caiyu immediately panicked when she saw her anger, "Miss, the slave didn't mean to lie to you, the slave maid was afraid that you would be worried, so she ......" Thinking of what Chang Baiyu said last night, Caiyu's expression sank a little more.
"Okay, I'll just say one thing to you, if you feel that you can't do without him in this life, make all your concerns clear to him, if you don't care, just have a good feeling, you will quickly cut through the mess, and the long pain is better than the short pain." Huangfu Xue knew what Caiyu was thinking, although she didn't say that she knew Chang Baiyu, but she could see that he was not a person who was easily emotional, once this kind of person was emotional, he was more emotional than ordinary people, and he looked better than ordinary people, this was Caiyu's blessing, but if Caiyu kept thinking about the past, he would not withdraw himself from the shadow of the past.
So much so that the two have been hurting each other so much, she would rather they break off early.
"Miss......" Caiyu knew that Miss was telling the truth, but ......, "Miss, the slave knows." Seeing that she began to think, Huangfu Xue didn't speak, turned around and saw Yuzhu still standing aside, frowning slightly, "Why haven't you left yet?" ”
"Second Miss, the slave maid is ordered by the third miss, if you can't be invited, the third miss will definitely blame the slave and the maid, since the third miss lost the child, the third miss has become extremely easy to get angry, the slave and the maid ......"
"Miss Ben said, Miss Ben has more important things to do, if you insist on letting Miss Ben go, go to my father, if my father agrees, don't say a while, I am very happy to stay in front of the third sister all day today." Such a shoddy bitter meat trick, don't mention it. Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, Yuzhu left with an unwilling face.
"Let's go, go to the shop first, and your matter will be solved by your sister in the evening." Turning around and walking out, Caiyu followed, "Miss, if you refuse like this, will the third lady do anything unfavorable to Miss?" ”
"Hmph, I'm afraid I'm over, and there is a bigger conspiracy waiting for me." What Huang Fuyun thought in her heart, she had already guessed clearly, although she didn't know why he had to hold on to herself, but ...... She is not a soft persimmon to be slaughtered, if the attention is hit on him, then he has made a mistake.
In the north courtyard, Huang Fuyun half leaned on the bed, Zhong Lin sat aside, holding a bowl in his left hand and a spoon in his right hand, and he had to blow it himself every time he scooped a spoonful of porridge, and then fed it to Huang Fuyun, Huang Fuyun was expressionless, lowered his head, and didn't know what he was thinking. At this time, there were footsteps at the door, and I couldn't wait to look up, and when I saw Yuzhu, I hurriedly spoke, "What's the matter, is the second sister here?" ”
"The second lady said that the shop is too busy, and there is really no time to come over during the day, if the young lady is in a hurry......" Yuzhu was indeed a little afraid of Huangfuyun, knowing that she would definitely be scolded if she didn't invite Huangfuxue, and she didn't dare to say the latter words for a long time. Huang Fuyun looked displeased, took the pillow next to him and smashed it directly, "Useless things, what did Miss Ben say just now, if you can't invite someone, don't come back." ”
"Miss is angry, the slave and maid really tried her best, but the second lady is too cunning, she seems to know something, no matter what the slave and maid say, she can find an excuse to refute, and said, if the third lady insists on coming to her, she will go to the master, the master agreed, she is willing to stay here as long as she wants."
"Did she really say that?" A look of hideousness flashed on Huang Fuyun's face, "Huang Fu Xue, don't think that you can be alone in this matter, but I will not let you go if anyone who has hit my child's attention." ”
"Lady, what happened last time was really just an accident, otherwise, let's forget it. The eldest sister and the second sister are not good at stubble, if we are not careful, we will ......"
"Shut up for me. Useless things, their own children were killed. You don't dare to say a word, I really feel wronged for this child. You don't dare, you don't want it to be your business, but you don't want to stop me from doing anything. Huangfu Yun pulled the quilt and turned around, "Get out of here with me." ”
Yuzhu glanced at Zhong Lin, got up and picked up the pillow on the ground and walked out of the room. Zhong Lin got up to persuade him, and Huang Fuyun yelled directly, "Go out, don't you understand?" ”
Zhong Lin saw that she was in a bad mood and couldn't listen to anything at all, so he turned around and walked out of the room, and Huang Fuyun was lying on the bed, with a quick plan in his head. On the other side, Huang Fuxue went directly to the second floor of the restaurant, yesterday's account book has not been read, this will be the shopkeeper and take the account book of the other two, Huang Fuxue looked at the account book in front of the table and sighed helplessly.
Although he likes to do business, he really doesn't like to read books......
"Miss, if you are tired, take a rest, things will not be done." Caiyu poured a cup of tea and handed it to her. Huangfu Xue smiled, "You also know to comfort me with what I said, no, it's still my business after the rest, read it early and leave time to deal with other things." ”
An Mingchen went to the court early in the morning, I don't know what will happen, King Hong's side will definitely not give up, if they can't think of a good way, the Li family will always be hidden by King Hong, although he said that it doesn't matter, in fact, he must be very uneasy.
In the palace, after the next dynasty, the emperor left King Hong, and the two went to the imperial study together, "Uncle Huang, our uncle and nephew haven't chatted alone for a long time, I heard that Uncle Huang met Lord An's family yesterday, but they are still living in your courtyard?" ”
King Hong didn't know how the emperor knew about this, seeing him test him, his expression flashed slightly, and he said with a smile, "Speaking of which, it was a coincidence yesterday that Weichen just appeared in that restaurant, and he ran into a family member who had a conflict with Lord An, who in the whole Dongcheng didn't know that Lord An was the fast son-in-law of the Huangfu family, and the Huangfu family was wealthy, who would have thought that his family didn't even have money for a meal, who wouldn't believe such a thing?" ”
"It was an accident. Uncle Huang is too worried, Lord An is a person who values love and righteousness......" The emperor defended An Mingchen. King Hong smiled and said, "But this is what this king saw, Lord An's mother even told this king that they were driven out by the people of the Huangfu family, and Lord An not only did not help, but also helped the people of the Huangfu family to bully them, such an unfilial person, does the emperor also want to treat Lord An differently?" ”
"Uncle Huang is not too alarmist." The emperor had long heard Huang Fuxue say that An Mingchen's mother was not a good stubble, but he didn't expect them to say anything in front of outsiders, if he hadn't heard something from Huang Fuxue earlier, he would have to believe Uncle Huang's words.
"What this king said is the truth, this king knows that the emperor appreciates Lord An, but ability and character are two different things, and I ask the emperor to consider it carefully." King Hong's face was serious, and after saying this, he began to talk about An Mingchen's treatment of the Jiangnan flood and reward, "The last time An did make a great contribution, but is it too fast to promote him to a second-grade official with only one merit, An is still young, and he really can't be a person in this place, and besides, if someone with a heart provokes it, it is known by others, let alone be promoted, I am afraid that it is difficult to do a good job in the current position." ”
The latter words seemed to be a warning, the emperor frowned slightly, and the smile on his face gradually dissipated. Seeing this, King Hong smiled with satisfaction, "If the emperor has nothing else to do, Weichen will leave first." After King Hong left, the emperor sat alone at the table, playing with the jade wrench on his thumb, carefully recalling what he had just said, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that it meant something......
