Chapter 112: I Have a Brother Too?
Sun Zhaoyi saw what she said and was about to say something more, but Xue Ke was already a little impatient in his heart, and said, "You go back first, Your Highness should leave soon." ”
Sun Zhaoyi couldn't help but look at the prince with tears in her eyes, but unfortunately the prince's mind was only on Xue Ke, and he waved his hand to let her go down.
Poor Sun Zhaoyi pinched the handkerchief and turned around and walked out of the house step by step.
When the prince saw that there was no one else in the house, he approached and asked, "Are you feeling better?" Why are you still angry when you're uncomfortable? ”
Xue Ke snorted coldly and ignored it. The prince knew that he was wrong, and he couldn't argue with it, so he just said something cautiously.
On a whim, he came to urge again, and the prince felt that he wanted to say a thousand words but couldn't say them, and he really felt the taste of parting for a moment. In the end, it is a matter of state, as soon as the hour comes, the prince puts away his emotions, changes into his official uniform, and turns his head before going out, Xue Ke is half lying on the bed, his eyes are far away, the prince walks back, grabs her hand, and prints it on his lips: "Ke'er, wait for me to come back." ”
Not long after the prince left, Xue Ke's body slowly recovered, and he got the news on the first day of returning to Linglong Pavilion that King Qin went to the south for disaster relief and also left the capital. The surface of the capital was a lot quieter for a while.
On this day, Xue Ke was reading the news in the Linglong Pavilion, opened a letter in front of her, but her hand shook involuntarily, and after a while, she calmed down, did not classify it, but folded the letter in front of her into her sleeve, and walked out of the Linglong Pavilion.
Ah Liu followed her for a long time, then noticed something strange and asked, "What's wrong with the girl?" Is there anything wrong? ”
Xue Ke shook his head and said, "Let's go back and talk about it." ”
Back in Baopu Courtyard, Xue Ke stayed in the attic alone for a long time, until the sky was half dark and the sun was setting. ”
Ah Liu glared at Xue Ke strangely, and Mama Zhang also looked around nervously, and stepped forward and said, "Why does the girl ask this?" That's not a serious place, girl, don't ask. ”
Xue Ke smiled and said: "It's not a serious place, how did Mama know?" ”
Mama Zhang's old face turned red rarely, and she said angrily: "Girl, don't joke! Hongxiao House is a famous restaurant in Beijing, and there are many people who know about it! ”
"It turned out to be a Qinglou, so it doesn't matter! This brothel in Beijing is quite elegant, and the talented geisha is the palace of the prince and the princess! ”
"That's different, girl, the servants in this Hongxiao Mansion are all men!"
Xue Ke nodded: "Then I don't know if this Hongxiao Mansion is a man's business or a woman's business?" ”
Mama Zhang stepped forward, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and muttered in a low voice: "I heard that men and women are not taboo, saying that they are doing business with men, but there are also many high-ranking officials and nobles' inner family members. ”
Xue Ke frowned, daring to do this kind of business, presumably this Hongxiao Mansion has a deep background.
Xue Ke saw that Ah Liu seemed to have something to say, so he pointed to something and opened Mama Zhang. Sure enough, Ah Liu leaned forward and said: "Girl, this Hongxiao Mansion is the property of King Qin, and it is also the source of information for King Qin, girl should be careful." ”
Xue Ke was secretly taken aback in her heart, and she opened the note from her sleeve again, which said that it was rumored that the new male singer Mochen Gongzi of Hongxiao Mansion was the illegitimate son of the traitor Xue Liang.
Xue Ke only felt a burst of cold and heat on her body, for so many years, how she hoped that there was still someone in the Xue family who could survive and face and support her together, but her father's character, her father's feelings for her mother's relatives She was convinced.
She didn't know if she wanted the news to be true or not. But in any case, she had to figure it out first.
After a while, she stared at Ah Liudao: "I'm going to Hongxiao Mansion tonight." ”
Ah Liu frowned and said, "Girl, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, could it be a trap set by King Qin's mansion?" ”
Xue Ke couldn't figure out the relationship either, and nodded: "It's very possible, but I have to take a look." Besides, King Qin," she paused, "I shouldn't have been designed like this." ”
Ah Liu felt that it was inappropriate, but he also understood that this was the girl's heart, and it was impossible to let it go, so he persuaded: "The girl wants to go, let me arrange a day or two." Xue Ke nodded.
The next afternoon, an unmarked cyan carriage quietly drove out of the corner gate. In the corner on the side, a merchant selling rouge flowers quietly followed, and in a blink of an eye went to the alley next to him.
Sitting in the carriage were the speechless Xue Ke and the vigilant Ah Liu.
The carriage came to the mouth of an alley, and drove directly into a house, Ah Liu nodded, and Xue Ke put on a hat and got out of the car.
It turns out that this Hongxiao Building occupies a large area, and it is a shady business, so the privacy protection of the guests is excellent, and the carriages are driven directly into the courtyard, and there is a special passage in the courtyard to avoid encountering some idle people.
A rather handsome-looking teenager led the way in front, and the boy was wearing a white shirt, but he didn't look like he was contaminated with any red dust.
Xue Ke smiled slightly, this Hongxiao Mansion is also quite interesting, the roads on both sides are reflected by purple bamboo, but it is more quiet than the ordinary study, and there are faint sounds of the guqin, which is still the tune of "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night".
The young man took the two of them to a small building in the shadow of flowers, and gave a salute: "The noble man will rest for a while, and the ink dust boy will come immediately." Ah Liu gave the reward, and the young man quietly left.
Xue Ke looked at this small building carefully, the first floor was obviously a place to meet guests, the coffee table was complete, the layout was quiet, and the curtains were plain. The second floor is a clean place, the layout is quite fragrant, there is a silk cloth bed, hanging a pink tent, and the pictures on the wall actually have the picture of the spring palace that everyone privately sent out in the previous dynasty.
Xue Kezheng watched it with relish, Ah Liu couldn't help blushing, and pulled Xue Ke downstairs.
As soon as he came down the stairs, Ah Liu immediately became alert, and sure enough, there was one more person downstairs at some point.
The man stood in the light, and could not see very clearly, but saw a tall silhouette and a handsome figure.
Hearing the sound of the stairs, the man turned his head, only to see him like a crown of jade, his color like a spring dawn, his eyes smiling, and the corners of his lips hooked.
Xue Ke left everything else behind in his heart, first secretly screamed "demon" at this face, and then stared at his face carefully for a long time.
The man was obviously used to being looked at, so she watched it for a long time, until Xue Ke turned his gaze, and then walked to the staircase, and naturally supported Xue Ke who was going downstairs, Ah Liu stepped forward to stop him, and the man laughed and said: "Since the noble man came to Hongxiao Building, why did he still bring such a restrained girl?" ”
Ah Liu was about to get angry, Xue Ke smiled slightly, put his hand on his arm and went up and down the stairs.
The man took Xue Ke to the tea table and sat down, but he went directly to take off Xue Ke's hat, Ah Liu just stretched out his hand, the man actually glanced at Xue Ke, and said in her ear: "Nobleman, this girl is in the way, if the nobleman doesn't tell her to leave, I won't wait." Xue Ke'er was itching when he said it.
Xue Ke said with a smile: "Son, don't worry, my girl has a lot of benefits!" The man smiled understandingly, glanced at Ah Liu, and said, "That's really not visible!" ”
Xue Ke took off his hat and handed it to Ah Liu, the man was obviously stunned, he had always been proud of his appearance, but he didn't expect that among the patronizing guests there would be such a stunning appearance.
While washing tea, he asked, "With such a noble appearance, how many dreams of the prince and grandson must be patronizing Hongxiao Mansion?" ”
Xue Ke took the tea he handed over, the tea was bright and the tea taste was frivolous, he praised "good tea" first, turned his head and stared at him: "You are Mochen?" ”
The man owed, poured another cup of tea, and said, "Mochen has seen a nobleman." ”
"Sure enough, it lives up to its name! With such a look and temperament, Childe should have been famous in the capital a long time ago, why didn't I hear it until today? ”
"The nobleman has won the award, and Mochen only came to the capital this year, but he has a slight name, which makes the nobleman smile."
"Oh? I don't know where Childe's hometown is? Where was it before? ”
Mo Chen sighed and said, "Noble, there is no need to mention the past, it is better to let Mo Chen serve you well." Do you want to enjoy the flowers or listen to the piano? ”
Ah Liu said coldly on the side: "Whatever my girl asks, you will answer!" ”
Mo Chen chuckled again, turned his face to look at Ah Liu, his eyes flashed with banter, and said with a smile: "I flirt with your girl, what kind of hurry are you girl?" ”
Ah Liu actually blushed a little when he looked at him, and said with a thin anger on his face: "Dengzi! ”
The smile on the corner of Mo Chen's mouth deepened a little: "In this Hongxiao Building, Mo Chen has never been said to be a disciple!" Could it be that a noble person came to this Hongxiao Mansion to see Mo Chen sitting in danger? ”
Ah Liu was stunned, thinking that this was the kind of business that Hongxiao Lou was doing, he couldn't help but sink his face and turned his head away from him.
Xue Ke looked at Mo Chen, his heart was bored for a while, he couldn't help but smile, and said, "It's true that I didn't come here to let you serve, but because I heard a rumor in Jingzhong recently, I was curious to come and take a look." ”
"Oh?" Mo Chen raised his eyebrows: "I don't know what the rumors are, why are you curious?" ”
"I don't know if you've heard the rumors about your background?"
"I haven't heard of that! You might as well talk about it! ”
Xue Ke sneered and stood up: "Since you haven't heard of it, then you don't need to say it again." With that, he walked out the door.
Sure enough, when he walked to the door, Mo Chen's voice sounded faintly: "The noble man is like this, aren't you afraid of Mo Chen's coldness?" ”
"Chilling? Why the chills? What can I do to keep you from chilling? ”
Mo Chen walked to Xue Ke's side, looked at her fixedly, and said word by word: "Now that the Xue family's bloodline is only you and me, shouldn't we take care of each other?" ”
Ah Liu stared at Mo Chen, his face didn't show a trace of jokes, but a trace of self-deprecation: "Or do I not even have the qualifications to think about it?" Sister? ”
Xue Ke's hand under his sleeve shook slightly, like an ant biting the tip of his heart, and his whole body was numb and itchy for a moment, and he couldn't make a sound, Ah Liu stepped forward to support him when he saw this, and asked first: "Since you know these rumors, why did the girl ask you just now to be Zhang Zuozhi?" You say that you are of the Xue bloodline, but what evidence do you have? ”
"Credentials?" Mo Chen sneered, he swept away the amorous aura just now, and his voice was cold: "Who doesn't know that General Xue has a deep affection for his wife, how can he give an illegitimate child a certificate?" My sister doesn't want to admit that there is a younger brother like me, right? ”
Ah Liu shouted: "What sister? Don't scream! ”
Mo Chen sneered again, walked back to the tea table, and sat down on his knees.
Xue Ke waved his hand, signaling that Ah Liu didn't need to say much, and walked back to kneel opposite him.
"Now that you know everything, we might as well speak up." Xue Ke said softly: "At least I have to figure out all this." For example, who is your mother? ”
"I thought you were going to ask me how I knew who you were, aren't you curious?"
"Curious, of course, but I don't think you'll say it. Let's talk about what you want me to know. ”
Mo Chen raised his eyebrows, and smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, that kind of indifferent demeanor and disdain surprised Ah Liu on the side, this look was familiar to her, and it was what her own girl often showed intentionally or unintentionally.
"My sister really treats me with a spleen, smart and refreshing." Mo Chen glanced at Ah Liu and said, "I also like my sister's girl, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate for her to hear the next words." ”
Xue Ke nodded and motioned for Ah Liu to go down first, but Ah Liu disagreed. Mochen opened the pastry box on the side, took out a delicate three-layer set of plates, on which rose crisp, lotus leaf cake and other snacks were placed, and stuffed the dim sum plate into Ah Liu's hand: "I'll take the young lady to the side hall to eat snacks." ”
As he spoke, he took Ah Liu's hand, Ah Liu looked at Xue Ke, although he broke free, he also went out with him with a red face.
Xue Ke was also funny in his heart, putting aside everything else, this ink dust coaxing a woman is a first-class good hand. Then he thought of his father, and his brows furrowed again.
When Mochen entered the house again, he first went to the incense burner and put a piece of incense, then poured the cold tea in front of Xue Ke, and rescalded the cup with boiling water. He does it smoothly and indescribably elegantly.
Xue Ke couldn't help asking, "What were you doing before?" ”
"Does the big girl think I'm very skilled? I won't hide it from you, I was born with kung fu. ”
Xue Ke raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is Ling Tang here?" ”
Mo Chen nodded and said calmly: "My mother is a person in the Qinglou. ”
"With such a look of you, I guess Lingtang was also famous all over the world back then, I don't know who it is?"
"Qinglou is famous, don't mention it. The eldest girl just wants to know if I am General Xue's bloodline, I have no evidence, but my mother said some old things before she died, and I don't know whether it is true or false, it is better to say it and listen to the girl, and ask the girl to help me distinguish it. ”
The light outside the house gradually dimmed, the shadows of the flowers and trees in the setting sun fluttered on the curtains, the smoke from the incense burner filled the room, and the voice of the ink dust was a little low and hoarse, and it was eloquent:
"My mother had a rough life, she was originally a Xiliang woman, because she mistakenly believed in one person, she ruined her tribe, she felt shameless in the world, and in order to avoid that person, she drifted around. The man still got the news of her, in order to make the man die, she stayed in the Qinglou, and designed the man's good brother, that is, General Xue, who led the military into her tribe, and then there was me. ”
Xue Ke couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, no matter whether this story was true or not, the expression on Mo Chen's face would not be fake, sighed, and asked, "Does General Xue know about you?" What happened to your mother? ”
"Of course General Xue didn't know about my existence. My mother regretted all her life, revenge on herself and against that person, and she was willing to sink, and I only found out before my mother died, and then I came to the capital. Who knew that when I arrived, the Xue Mansion was already full of beheadings. Mochen smiled.
Xue Ke closed his eyes, and the tragic scenes of that night in Xue Mansion appeared in front of him one by one.
One hand was gently placed on her hand, without any warmth and lust, and Xue Ke gently covered the other hand. Take a hundred plating and read the latest chapter of "Sigh Rebirth Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
