Chapter 142: Feng Renju
Chapter 142: Feng Renju
Mr. Du, is a special existence in the Rui Wangfu, it can be said that before she was the Rui princess, he was the second person in the mansion besides Ning Zhiyuan, and the status was higher than that of Ning Zhiyuan's henchman Qin Huai, although he was more than half white, he was energetic and old-hearted, just looking at Ning Zhiyuan's respect for him, you could see that he was unusual, since he was a staff member of the Rui Wangfu, he was not the one who managed the internal affairs over there, would this kind of thing work for him? But this time, she wanted to go for a walk.
Mother Xu obviously has long been aware of the old man with the transcendent status of the Rui Wangfu for Du Yiyi, when Du Yiyi made up her mind to go on a trip, she said the old man's usual preferences like a few treasures, Mr. Du has a wide range of hobbies, and his favorite thing on weekdays is to play with flowers and plants, and the first time you go must need some meeting gifts, for an old man who does not worry about food and clothing and does not love money, giving gifts is more important than the gift itself, but most of the flowers and plants in Du Yiyi's house are half-dead, The flowers and plants in the backyard are now withered, and I can only stop empty-handed.
No one in the Rui Wangfu dared to be disrespectful to Mr. Du, because many people could guess the origin behind some of the powerful Mr. Du, when the Rui Wangfu was only Zhiyuan Mansion, Mr. Du was in the mansion, Ning Zhiyuan was respectful to him at that time, even if every time the emperor came to the Rui Wangfu, Mr. Du could accompany him, the last time the Fuhu Army changed to Ning Zhiyuan, but Mr. Du didn't know where to gather a large group of people to successfully let the Rui Wangfu avoid the disaster, in the eyes of the Rui Wangfu, This Mr. Du is an unfathomable man of God.
Another point that can be seen about Mr. Du's identity is Mr. Du's residence, which is a single courtyard located next to Huaiyu's residence, called Fengrenju, taken from the meaning that everything in the world has a benevolent heart, except for Qin Huai, no one can be so close to Ning Zhiyuan, but even Qin Huai, in the Rui Wang's Mansion can not have an independent courtyard, even if the maid in Huaiyu Juli usually lives in the house is also five meters away in the side room, Mr. Du's identity is transcendent, almost without saying his deeds, it can make people understand the epiphany.
Most of the time on weekdays, Mr. Du is nowhere to be seen, mostly stay in his house, every daylight is good, and he can be seen basking in the courtyard at the gate of the wide open courtyard, although he has been in the house for more than a month, she and this Mr. Du have only met in a hurry many times, Mr. Du gives her the feeling that he is a very tired old man.
The reason why Mr. Du is extraordinary is that he is now doing something far from what he should be doing at his age, when she took Xu's mother to Mr. Du's yard, she saw the tightly closed gate, winter, has always been the old man who likes to bask in the sun The least favorite season.
As soon as she looked at her, Xu's mother immediately stepped forward and was about to reach out to knock on the knocker, but the door creaked open.
But Mr. Du, who had a red face, stood in the middle of the wide open door, respectfully bowed his hand, and said to Princess Rui Wanfu Jin'an.
Beside Huaiyu's house, Mr. Du's house was as simple as a farmer's house, as simple as it should be, except for a road that allowed four people to walk side by side, and on both sides were bare trunks and branches, and under the branches there were countless dead grass and rotten flower and grass stalks.
Walking through this road, you can see that there is a stone table and a stone bench in a small space surrounded by flowers and trees, and the stone bench is full of dust and mud, and it is obvious that there has been no one sitting for a long time.
The wind blows these branches from side to side, and many of the seedlings that are only one meter above are wrapped by Mr. Du's umbrella with an oil-paper umbrella.
"I wonder what Princess Rui commands?"
Mr. Du waited respectfully, he didn't intend to explain a thing or two to Du Yiyi, who was looking around very curiously, but stood calmly, very indifferent.
"I have heard Mr. Du's name for a long time, and I have not been able to come to visit, Mr. Du has always been the right hand of the prince, and he is also very kind to the prince, so there is no need to be polite to me."
The dead vines and old trees in a yard are nothing to look at, and most of the people who love flowers and plants are elegant people, and Mr. Du should not be able to escape the common problems of scholars and elegant people. Du Yiyi walked into the inner room as he spoke, the inner room still looked full of flowers and plants, even if it was the calligraphy and painting on the wall, they were all flowers and plants, mountains and rivers, this courtyard is also three rooms, a study, a hall and a living room, and there are some winter varieties such as narcissus evergreens under the corners and walls of the hall, but compared to Du Yiyi's house, these blooming branches and green daffodils are more than pleasing to the eye, if it weren't for the fact that there was a tile above the head to shelter from the wind and rain, I'm afraid that this Mr. Du can't wait to plant flowers and plants everywhere in this house! Du Yiyi thought to herself, and sat down with a smile with Mr. Du.
"Mr. Du, the daffodils here are blooming beautifully!"
Talking about flowers and plants with a lover of flowers and plants is like talking about wealth with a lover of gold and silver, and talking about women with a lover of women, finding out where his interests lie, and the development of the conversation will not be a problem.
"Narcissus is easy to raise and not easy to raise, it will rot to death when the temperature is high, and it will freeze to death when the temperature is low, but the old man just likes this thing that has no soil but can bloom, so he will raise some more."
Du Yiyi has been listening carefully to Mr. Du's words, looking at his expression, when Mr. Du spoke, his expression was calm, and he didn't think that he was inferior, which was obviously a character cultivated under Ning Zhiyuan's respectful and respectful nature.
"Narcissus is nicknamed Lingbo Fairy, in my opinion, it is like duckweed in the water, rootless things, the most easy to die, I also raised a few narcissus there a few days ago, all of them died, I think my house is too hot, such a fragile thing, not as good as the green grass in the grass outside."
She can also guess Mr. Du's origin, it is inevitable to have such a heart, if she wants to make herself turn back the situation and fight side by side with Ning Zhiyuan, this person must fight for it.
"Narcissus likes water, mostly born next to the creek mud swamp, a narcissus seed, a year can grow a large area of daffodils, not rootless, but we raise it in the water, it is useless to have roots, anyway, it does not need to take root in the soil to settle down, and does not have to withstand the wind and rain, raised in the daffodils in the basin, naturally it is much more squeamish than the wild! Flowers and plants, all of them are like this! ”
Mr. Du didn't sit down, but just lowered his head to look at the pair of dark yellow hands he held around his waist.
"The flowers and plants raised indoors are squeamish, Mr. Du means this?" Du Yiyi smiled, feeling that this is still a somewhat awkward old man.
"That's what it means, if you are in the wild, if you want to survive, you have to work hard to grow roots and go deep into the ground to absorb water, and you must work hard to grow branches to absorb the sun, and those who can't go deep into the ground and can't grow to the sky will only be broken by wind and rain."
Mr. Du has always maintained his inherent movements motionless from the time he entered the room to the present, even if he speaks, he doesn't look up to look at Du Yiyi, and it is clear that he doesn't want to have too much communication with Du Yiyi, and these words are so intriguing, whether there is a deep meaning in these words, Du Yiyi can also figure out a deep meaning.
"What does Mr. Du mean that the woman raised in the boudoir is squeamish and fragile?"
"It is also true that it is raised in the deep boudoir without weather, and it is naturally squeamish and fragile."
"Mr. Du criticizes the world's deep boudoir so much, but why don't you think about it, which woman doesn't like to see the world of flowers outside, they are raised in the boudoir, not because they want to stay in the boudoir, but because they are also flowers and plants that can't help themselves, they are bound by the world at all!"
"The princess is reasonable, the old man admires, women are weak by nature, if they experience more wind and rain, how can so many people kill themselves!" For the first time, Mr. Du took the initiative to meet Du Yiyi's gaze and did not avoid it.
In Mr. Du's eyes, there is a clear and unclear but Du Yiyi feels a feeling of being dementored, through the vicissitudes of wind and rain, in order to gain insight into the world and know people's feelings, Mr. Du's eyes are even more insightful of everything.
In this world, women are destined to be vassals of men, it is ridiculous to talk about equality and fairness, and no one has ever tried to break the cognition that is fixed in people's hearts, Du Yiyi does not have such a big foundation even if she wants to, what she can do now is only to make herself a person who can influence Ning Zhiyuan and reverse her adversity.
"Mr. Du is the right-hand man of the prince, deeply admired by the whole house, and he has long admired Mr. Du's demeanor, Mr. Du has ever thought about it, in fact, women are not stupider than men, women are meticulous like hair, which most men can't do, and now the court is stable on the surface, but inside is the undercurrent of the storm, Mr. Du is the prince's staff, don't you want to do something for the prince?"
"The crown prince is canonized, the court is stable, where is there a storm and clouds, the princess laughed!"
"Mr. Du doesn't have to pretend to be confused with me, although I don't know as much about the prince as Mr. Du, but probably I also know, doesn't Mr. Du want to help him?"
"What the princess means, the old man doesn't understand! It's better for the princess not to meddle in these things! The people of the world, it is not the people, the emperor has already canonized the prince, we and the people, only obey orders, the old man's duty is to protect the safety of His Royal Highness King Rui, other things, the old man doesn't know anything! If His Highness is in trouble, the old man will be the first to step forward to escort him! ”
Mr. Du's face was righteous and upright, and he was very disdainful of Du Yiyi's words.
"Mr. Du obeys the emperor's orders, but Prince Rui is your master, Mr. Du's attitude towards me is because the prince did something you think you shouldn't do for this marriage, but Mr. Du should also understand that I am not one of those squeamish and fragile young ladies, I have also walked in the grassland, and I have lived in the military camp, Shen Ke is my brother who depends on me, if I go to persuade him to support the prince, do you say he will help or not?" As long as Shen Ke is in power for a day, it is a force that no one can ignore, Ning Zhiyuan can't, Mr. Du can't, Shen Ke's position in the emperor's heart, Mr. Du naturally knows that Shen Ke has always kept a distance from Rui Wangfu, and he never comes to Rui Wangfu to visit and walk around on weekdays, so he didn't worry about these things, but what if Du Yiyi personally persuaded him? After the Fuhu military mutiny, he has always only been helping Ning Zhiyuan find out the news and never controlled his private actions, the four words of dependence on each other have a heavy weight, he also knows better, and he understands that when Lu Shoufu of the dynasty attached great importance to Ning Zhiyuan, Shen Ke and his wife have always been an enviable couple, if there is a Lu Xiangxue, what will Shen Ke do?
"Mr. Du thinks I can't convince Shen Ke? Mr. Du, don't forget, when I committed suicide, how guilty Shen Ke was! Who can know Shen Ke better than me? ”
The corners of his mouth rose and the corners of his eyes bent down, Du Yiyi's soft chuckle, full of flamboyant confidence, made Mr. Du's sharp gaze gradually dim, and his waist, which was already a little rickety, seemed to be more and more rickety.
Shen Ke, no one understands Shen Ke, even if he believes that he has read countless people and observes people, he doesn't dare to say how much he knows about Shen Ke, Shen Ke is a wolf from the border pass, and no one can beat his edge when he runs rampant in the capital, although he is the emperor's person, he can be compared to a general with countless military achievements, and he is so humble and not worth mentioning. If Shen Ke really helped Ning Zhiyuan, then how would he explain to the emperor?
"Everyone says that Shen Ke values love and righteousness, and Mr. Du also knows that the prince is impatient and impatient, and has no talent for governing the country. Mr. Du is a person with great talents, if it weren't for you these years, the prince may not be able to live a peaceful life for so many years, Mr. Du, good birds choose trees to perch, the prince treats you well, you don't think about yourself, you should also think about the prince, if there is no protection from the emperor, the prince will ascend the throne in the future, what is your tireless work for so many years? Mr. Du is willing to be a staff member in the Rui Wangfu without seeking fame and fortune, and it is certainly respectable to be loyal to the king, but holding back when the master needs you is not what a staff member should do. ”
"What the hell is the princess going to say?"
Mr. Du's eyebrows frowned, and his smooth forehead instantly had green tendons, like a kitten that had been teased so much that he had lost his patience, but after an instant, Mr. Du was the calm and indifferent old gentleman again.
