008 Entering the palace
Lin Wan didn't ask anything, and went directly to Xie An with Steward Zhang, no matter what Xie An was looking for her, she wanted to see Xie An.
Soon passed through a few doors to a hall, and Steward Zhang said, "Young Master Cousin, Uncle is waiting inside!"
"Trouble!" After speaking, Lin Wan raised his feet and entered the room.
What caught my eyelids was a burly figure, dressed in a brocade robe, standing by an antique shelf on the wall, as if he was tinkering with something.
Xie An turned his back to Lin Wan and carefully wiped the antique jade on the shelf, one by one he touched it all year round, and it was shiny.
"Uncle!"
Lin Wan called, and after a while, the man didn't seem to hear it, and still tinkered with what he had in his hand.
She was left aside, but she didn't have much emotion, wanting to see what kind of attitude her uncle had.
Xie An wiped the antique bottle in his hand, placed it in place, and then turned around, his eyes fell on Lin Wan for a while, and then walked to the front seat and sat down.
"You went to Xiangshui Pavilion today!" There was no trace of emotion in his voice, and one sentence embarrassed Lin Wan.
"Go!"
Lin Wan told the truth and did not hide it, because the other party did not use a question sentence asking you whether you were going, but a declarative sentence.
"These places will go less in the future, and your father sent you here, not for you to look for flowers and willows."
The tone was serious, this was a lecture from the attitude of an elder, and Lin Wan had to bear it.
"I remember! Uncle. ”
"Hmmm! Have a seat! Seeing that he admitted his mistake, Xie An's temper disappeared instantly, as if the stern elder just now did not exist at all.
"Good!" Lin Wan sat down and smiled in her heart, she didn't know that her son was visiting the Qinglou, and the news of her nephew's visit to the Qinglou was going fast.
"You were sick the other day, how is your health?" Xie An continued to look at her, and for the first time he saw this nephew, a young man with a handsome face, from his face, it seemed that he could see his deceased second sister.
"Uncle Xie, I'm fine."
"Hmmm! If you have anything in the future, tell Steward Zhang! You're welcome, it's all family. ”
Xie An hasn't shown a smile since Lin Wan entered the door, which is not an ordinary politeness~
Lin Wan also replied politely: "I will."
"Hmm!" Xie An nodded, picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip to moisten his throat, and then asked, "Before you go out, how did your father explain it?"
"My father said that I would come to the capital, study in progress, and become an official."
"That's good." Despite the praise, Xie An's expression was still light.
Lin Wan saw that her uncle, but she had the same blood as him, and she was dispensable in his heart, and she was not at ease at all. Such stubbornness seems to carry some kind of bias, but it is not a bad person.
"Your aunt heard that you came to the capital, remember this, think about the birthday of the Queen Mother the day after tomorrow, and take you into the palace together."
Entering the palace? Lin Wan understood, this was not Xie An who wanted to see him, but the concubine Xie Guifei in the palace, that is, his own aunt, wanted to see him, otherwise, he would not see him.
This made her curious, how to say that he was also his own nephew, even if the two families fell out, he would not be so unkind to see him!
"What do you think? If you don't have any opinions, go back and prepare. Xie An closed his eyes and stopped talking, not giving Lin Wan a chance to refuse at all.
"Yes! The nephew went back and got ready. Lin Wan stepped back and took a deep breath.
The change was too fast, which caught people off guard, as the saying goes, one step at a time, she hadn't even entered the Hai Pavilion, and she was about to enter the palace, as if there were many invisible hands behind her back, quickly pushing him forward. I just don't know what awaits her in the palace.
"Young master, what did my uncle tell you?" Xusheng couldn't wait to ask.
"It's nothing, just be polite."
The two finally returned to Qingyuan, and Ah Xing took the lead to come out to greet him: "Young master, young master!!"
"What's the matter, so happy?" Lin Wan was infected by Ah Xing's sweet smile.
"Mother Zhou is here!" Ah Xing was excited.
Lin Wan didn't know who it was, but when she entered the courtyard, she saw a woman of about thirty, standing in the door, and a little maid about the same age as herself behind her, with the indifferent expressions of the two of them, coupled with similar faces, it was easy to guess that it was a mother and daughter.
She has a good memory, this little maid Lin saw it late, and on the night she was sick, she served her with Ah Xing, but she didn't appear anymore later.
"Mother Zhou, when did you arrive?" Lin Wan asked.
"I'll be here this afternoon." Zhou's mother replied.
Lin Wan looked at the people for a while and said, "Come into the house and say!"
In the house, Lin Wan sat on the couch, drank a sip of hot tea, moistened her throat, and asked, "My father asked you to come?" What are you doing? ”
"The old master asked the old slave to take care of the young master."
"Oh!"
Lin Wan looked at the little maid who had disappeared for a few days and asked, "Zhou Ying, right!" What have you been doing these days?"
"The slave maid has gone to take care of the house shop business in Beijing." Zhou Ying replied without hurry, revealing a sense of old age at a young age.
"Alright! If there is anything to talk about tomorrow, I'm tired today, rest first, Yushuang stays! Lin Wan yawned.
"Yes!" The rest of the gang went down.
Lin Wan lay down and asked some Yushuang what he didn't understand, so he also figured it out.
This Zhou's mother, her mother's dowry maid, has seen some of the world, and has been to any palace banquet, that Zhou Ying is her daughter, who has been proficient in arithmetic since she was a child, so she was sent to the capital to take care of business.
It's a coincidence, she just happened to enter the palace, and this Mother Zhou came just right.
Her eldest uncle, when he said something, he was polite, and there was no substance at all, what did she call herself ready, what could she prepare if she was unfamiliar with her life? Sure enough, his father thought about it more, and all the experts were sent to the capital.
This matter was also solved, Lin Wan got up again, practiced the exercises of various postures, sweated, and when he finally couldn't hold it anymore, he lay down and fell asleep, no matter how dirty his body was.
……
Qin Wangfu.
The sky had just fallen into darkness, and Murong Yuan was writing a letter to his father.
A small guy hurried in to deliver the news.
"The emperor wants to see me~" The face of the beautiful demon rule showed a hint of a smile, the warm light hit the face, and the eyes were bright and bright, like stars at night.
The delicate white-clothed scholar on the side asked vigilantly: "Do you have anything to see the prince?"
"The father-in-law who came to report did not reveal anything." The little guy replied.
"Shizi, this seems to be ......a fraud," the white-clothed scholar worried.
"Even if there is a fraud, I have to go, don't I? Otherwise, it will be disrespectful, and I will have many days to stay in this capital! Don't forget the assignment my father gave me. Murong Yuan's tone was relaxed, without the nervousness of the scholar at all.
"That's what the prince said."
"Let's go, I may not have seen this high-ranking 'imperial uncle' for a long time, I really miss it!" There seems to be something in this statement, which is intriguing.
"I'll go with the son." The white-clothed scholar said.
"No, Arwen stays and takes care of the house." Murong Yuan turned his head to the silent other person, "Ah Yu will accompany me."
"Yes!" The two returned one after another.
