Chapter 038: Disguise to visit the prison
Rong Ruo's face was slightly gloomy, and he raised his voice to call in a maid and ordered: "Change the clothes of Gongzi Huai!" ”
When the maid heard this, she didn't react for a while, her eyes looked at the smiling arms standing beside Rong Ruo, Rong Ruo turned around and walked out of Tongzhitang.
Huai Sleeve smiled on his lips, looked the maid's figure up and down for a moment, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Go and get a piece of your clothes, and lend Benge to wear it for half a day." ”
Chattered? When the maid heard these two words, she couldn't help but be stunned.
"Go!" Seeing her waiting for her to look at herself, Huai Sleeve opened his mouth to urge.
As if awakened, the maid hurried to the door, but her eyes kept wandering around her sleeve, and when she was about to go out, she almost tripped over the threshold.
Sitting in the room with her sleeves waiting for the maid who took her clothes, she suddenly heard the appearance outside the door and said in surprise: "Zhenguan? What are you doing here. Then I heard Gu Zhenguan say: "I came to find you something, and I will talk about it again when I enter the house." ”
When Huai Sleeve heard this, he swept around in shock, and if there was no place to hide in this study except for the high bookshelves? When he was anxious, he listened to Rong Ruo outside the window: "If you have anything to say, it's okay to say it here." ”
Gu Zhenguan said hurriedly: "If there is something important, it is better to go in and say that it is convenient." ”
Rong Ruo hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's just say it here, inside...... It's also inconvenient inside. ”
Gu Zhenguan, who was outside the door, rarely saw Rong Ruo's face embarrassed, opened his eyes and glanced inside the room, and then smiled: "Brother Rong, is this the book house Zangjiao?" ”
Rong Ruo stubbornly said: "In the past few days, Eniang's niece came to live in the house, because when she was laughing, she accidentally spilled tea juice on her skirt, and changed her clothes inside at this time, so ......" said that not only stuttered knots, but also slightly reddened.
After all, Gu Zhenguan is well versed in world affairs, and when he saw Rong Ruo's demeanor, he already understood eight or nine points, and said with a smile: "Since Brother Rong has a distinguished guest today, Zhenguan will come to visit another day and say goodbye!" After that, he didn't wait for Rong Ruo to stay, so he smiled and walked away.
At this time, Huai Sleeve had already changed into the maid's clothes in the house, and carefully looked at it in front of the dressing mirror, the size of the clothes was still appropriate, and the texture of the clothes was naturally incomparable with what she usually wore. Huai Sleeve didn't care about any of this, but felt that the color was a little bright, and the maid repeatedly explained that she had chosen her best clothes, and had not yet put them on.
Huai Sleeve took out a whole ingot of silver from her purse and stuffed it into her hand, which was considered to have bought the clothes.
The maid spread out the braids for her sleeves, combed a simple second handful, and when she looked at it again, a pretty little Gege jumped in front of her. The maid waited for her sleeves to finish dressing up, she couldn't stop laughing with her face down, and she couldn't stop laughing, and asked in her arms: "What are you laughing at?" Could it be that Benge is wearing the wrong one? "Anyway, look at yourself.
The maid shook her head again and again, finally stopped laughing, and replied: "We see Gongzi coming and going to the house every day, and we all privately praise Gongzi's handsome appearance, and there are a few little sisters who secretly promise Gongzi, but we don't want Gongzi to be a pretty character. With that, I couldn't help but laugh again.
Hearing this, Huai Sleeve said with a smile: "If Ben Gege is a man, he is naturally handsome and dignified, and he will never lose to your young master." ”
Before the words fell, I heard Rong Ruo cough lightly outside the window: "Are you done cleaning up?" ”
When the maid heard this, she hurriedly went out to reply, Rong Ruo came in with the curtain, and saw that she was standing in front of her in a rose-pink flag suit, and when she saw that there was no one around, she couldn't help but stretch out her arms and take her sleeves into her arms, and bit her earlobe with a side face and said: "I heard everything you said just now, and said, who is more handsome and dignified?" ”
Huai Sleeve smiled and pushed Rong Ruo's chest, while avoiding his lips, and said lightly: "Don't make trouble, you will be seen again when you go out for a while." ”
Rong Ruowen let go of his arm when he heard this, took her hand and walked out.
Huai Sleeve twisted and said: "Isn't the pattern of this dress too colorful?" ”
Rong Ruo smiled, put a strand of green silk falling from his sleeves and temples behind his ears, and said gently: "What kind of beauty are you, I am used to seeing Baolan's dress every day, and I still feel that this dress is too plain!" ”
Huai Sleeve couldn't hold back his laughter when he heard it, Rong Ruo had already taken her hand out of the door, afraid that people would see the makeup of Huai Sleeve's daughter, so he called a soft sedan chair carried by four people in the house to ask Huai Sleeve to sit, and went out of the house from the south side door, and went straight to the yamen of the Criminal Department.
Coming to the front of the yamen of the Criminal Department, Rong Ruo handed his name to the guards, and after a short time, Shang Shuhaikuan of the Criminal Department personally greeted him and invited Rong Ruo and Huai Sleeve into the house.
It was the first time that Huai Sleeve had seen such a poor office as the Yamen of the Criminal Department.
Looking around, I saw a circle of guards holding the hilt of their swords standing around the courtyard in all directions, each with a serious expression. On the wall under the corridor were black iron nails with the thickness of his thumb, on which were hung the chains and shackles used to escort the prisoners, and there were splints and ropes and other torture instruments thrown on the ground next to him.
Rong Ruo was very calm, sat down with Haikuan, and after a few words of greeting, he briefly explained his intentions.
After listening to Rong Ruo's words, Haikuan pondered for a moment, and said with a sad face: "It's not that Haikuan is unkind, it's just that this Qin Hongyu is a prisoner, unless there is an emperor's dictation, you are not allowed to visit the prison at will." ”
When Rong Ruo heard this, he frowned and thought about it, and said: "This Rong Ruo naturally knows, it's just that this Qin Hongyu was captured by my mansion after all, and there are some things that I need to ask clearly......
The sleeve next to him had already heard Rong Ruo's words flickering, just because he was a dignified man, and it was probably not good to mention such a thing as Hongyu's pregnancy. quietly pulled Rong Ruo's sleeves, got up and gave Hai Kuan a blessing, and said with a smile: "Lord Hai, can you take a step to speak?" ”
Hai Kuan was slightly stunned when he saw this strange woman suddenly speak, and looked at Rong Ruo, but saw that Rong Ruo was also inexplicable. But Huai Sleeve always smiled quietly, looking at Haikuan and waiting for a reply.
Haikuan thought for a while, and said in a harmonious voice: "Girl, please." With that, he gave up his sleeve to the side of the ear chamber.
Huai Sleeve turned his face to Rong Ruo and winked a few times, followed Hai Kuan into the ear room, and Liurong Ruo waited alone in the hall. Rong Ruo couldn't help frowning when he saw his sleeves and Haikuan entering the ear chamber alone.
After a while, Huai Sleeve and Hai Kuan came out of the ear room, only to see Hai Kuan's face showing a harmonious color, arching his hand to Rong Ruo with a smile, and said with a smile: "Lord Rong, Hai Kuan is pedantic, and he didn't notice the benevolent righteousness in his chest, which is really ashamed." With that, he personally took Rong Ruo and his sleeves through the atrium and walked to the backyard.
Haikuan walked in front, Rong Ruo and Huai Sleeve followed behind, Rong Ruo took advantage of the unpreparedness and secretly asked Huai Sleeve: "What did you just say to Lord Hai Kuan?" Seeing that he was so cheerful, he readily agreed. ”
With his sleeves raised, his face was full of pride, his eyes were slanted, and he said, "Well, I'll tell you later!" ”
