Chapter 036: The Ruby Incident
The autumn sun is very homely, and it goes west early, and there are a few flowing clouds in the west sky, and the sun seems to be sleepy and pulls the cloud bed to be lazy, and the water-red glow is reflected on the rubble of the high and low roofs.
"It's not early, I'll send you back to the house first" Rong Ruo glanced at the sky and said warmly.
Huai Sleeve smiled: "It's not too late, I'll invite you to eat the copper pot and brush the meat, count it...... Uh, I wronged you today, so it's not for you to be accompanied. ”
Rong Ruo heard this, smiled and whispered: "I like you like this!" Explain how tight you care. ”
Huai Sleeve's face was slightly red, and he was about to turn the reins at a white glance, but was pulled by Rong Ruo.
"I'm not going to go today, I have to go back to the house to check the schoolwork, Ama went out of Beijing on an errand a few days ago, and I specially explained." Rong Ruo explained.
Huai sleeve said: "Isn't it quite good to talk about weekdays?" Why do you want to be so bothered by your brother. ”
Rong Ruo smiled and said helplessly: "It's true that Yu Xu is not very naughty, but his mind has been a little scattered recently, and he has to get together, and he will have to enter the autumn festival next year. I've been walking through these days, and somehow, suddenly and suddenly a lot has changed, and there is something I haven't had time to tell you yet. ”
Huai Sleeve heard it and said curiously: "What's the matter?" ”
Rong Ruo said: "I have been out of Beijing for more than a month, and somehow, I have ...... with Hongyu" Rong Ruo said halfway, and was a little embarrassed to speak.
Although Huai Sleeve is still an untrained daughter, but she has read a lot of books, she can naturally understand a little, and stared at Rong Ruo who was spitting with wide eyes: "Could it be them...... They ......"
Rong Ruo nodded, and said helplessly: "There is something that surprises you even more, Hongyu her, she is pregnant." ”
"Huh?" When Huai Sleeve heard this, he was even more stunned, and only after a while did he say: "This, this is also fast!"
Rong Ruo said: "It's true, my E-Niang specially sent the imperial doctor in the palace to come to the house to see, and my E-Niang is ready to choose a day, open her face to Hongyu, and put her in the room as a concubine." ”
When Huai Sleeve heard this, he lowered his eyes and was silent.
Rong Ruo saw that she didn't know what she was thinking, and was about to ask, when she suddenly saw a group of officers and soldiers running from the noon gate, lined up, all wearing weapons and heading towards Houhai.
Seeing this scene, Huai Sleeve was surprised: "Why do I look like I'm heading towards your house, and there is only one mansion in Houhai, right?" ”
Seeing this, Rong Ruo's sword eyebrows furrowed, and he turned around while barging the horse and said to his sleeves: "You go back first, I'll go back to the house and take a look." After the words fell, he had already ridden his horse and whipped towards the officers and soldiers.
Huai sleeves were not at ease, riding a horse to follow, and when the two of them came, in front of the Ming Mansion, they saw that there were soldiers who surrounded the entire mansion.
Rong Ruo was shocked, turned over and jumped off the horse, ran to the mansion, and ran head-on into Shang Shuhaikuan of the Criminal Department who received this errand.
Seeing Rong Ruo rushing in, Haikuan was very polite, and arched his hand: "Lord Rong, I'm disturbing, I'll wait for the emperor's order to bring someone." ”
Rong Ruo asked, "Lord Hai, what is going on?" Who are you bringing with you? ”
Haikuan was also very polite, and arched his hand: "Lord Rong, don't worry, it's just a girl in your mansion, now, we have been looking for this person, so let's take it back to the Criminal Department to pay the order, a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, hehe!" The emperor specially instructed not to alarm the family members of your house, we brought people, and we left. ”
Rong Ruo was about to ask again, but saw two officers and soldiers inside walking out in one person, Rong Ruo was surprised: "Ruby? ”
At this time, the arms that followed were stopped at the gate of the house by the officers and soldiers guarding and did not let them in, and I happened to see Hongyu being driven out by two soldiers and pushed onto the wooden cage prisoner car parked at the door.
Subsequently, all the soldiers surrounding the gate of the Ming Mansion withdrew, and Haikuan walked out of the mansion and got on the horse, arched his hand to Rong Ruo, and rode away. The gate of the Ming Mansion has returned to its former peace and calm.
Running into the mansion with his sleeves, he expected that Rong Ruo would go to the main hall to find the pearl Fujin first, so he went to his study Tongzhitang to wait for him.
About half an hour later, Rong Ruo came back. Stepping into the study, he was a little surprised to see Huai Sleeve waiting in the house, but he still said gently: "It's so late, why haven't you gone back yet, and your sister is worried about you." ”
Huai sleeve said: "If I don't ask the reason, how can I rest assured?" After that, he picked up the beam pot on the table and poured half a cup of hot tea for Rong Ruo, handed it to him, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" It's good, why did you take the red jade away? ”
Rong Ruo sighed softly: "Hey! Ruby was originally a fugitive. ”
"What?" Hearing this, Huai Sleeve was originally sitting beside Rong Ruo, and stood up in shock.
Rong Ruo held the hand of his sleeve, pulled her back to sit beside him, and said, "I just went to ask Eniang, and Eniang said that the holy decree said that the prisoner Aixin Jueluo Shuosai, that is, Prince Zeyu, who committed the crime, escaped from his imprisonment in the mansion outside the capital. Prince Zeyu was imprisoned by Lord Shunzhi back then, and all the old and young people in the mansion were imprisoned in one place, and this Qin Hongyu was the favorite concubine of the prince Erbeile in the mansion. ”
Huai Sleeve heard this, and was stunned for a long time without speaking, recalling that since she first saw Hongyu, she had always lowered her eyebrows and was submissive, and she couldn't tell that she was the favorite concubine of Lord Belle, and she was ...... now Huai Sleeve suddenly remembered what she and Rong Ruo had talked about before, and instead held Rong Ruo's hand and asked urgently, "What about the child in her womb?" What about the kids? ”
Rong Ruo shook her head and said, "I don't know how the Criminal Department will deal with this matter at the moment, so I have to go into the palace tomorrow to inquire, since she is already pregnant with the flesh and blood of my Nalan family in her womb, she naturally can't ignore it." ”
Huai Sleeve heard this, nodded slightly, Rong Ruo raised his hand to embrace Huai Sleeve into his arms, caressed her back with his palm, and said, "I will deal with these things, don't worry." After that, he looked out the window and said softly, "It's late, I'll send you back." ”
Huai Sleeve nodded slightly.
Huai sleeves returned to the military department of Shangshu Mansion, originally planned to return to his embroidery pavilion, saw the second brother-in-law Malhan who had changed into regular clothes and went to the flower hall, and thought in his heart: The second brother-in-law and Rong Ruo are in the same court, and they may know something about this matter. Thinking of this, he lightened his steps and quietly followed.
Walked to the window of the flower hall, hidden behind a bush of low trees under the pillars, resting on the carved wooden window, peeking in with the sleeves, and saw the second sister reclining on the brocade couch to see a newly embroidered pattern.
The second brother-in-law, Malhan, sat down opposite Zhukhtana, and the two of them only talked about some ordinary trivial matters before, and when Hongqing changed into tea, Malhan waved his hand lightly, and Hongqing withdrew with several maids waiting in the door.
Seeing this, he gathered all his thoughts and listened to the house.
I only heard Malhan take a sip of tea and slowly speak: "There is something new today. ”
Djokhtana said, "What's new? Adults don't listen to this gossip on weekdays. ”
Malhan smiled lightly: "What I'm talking about is not gossip, do you know that something happened in the Ming Mansion......"
