Chapter 15: Imperial Physician Su and the Seventh Prince actually have this kind of relationship...
Countless words to reason with him were blocked in her throat, but An Ge also knew that now she could only give in to him, and saving her life was the most important thing. In the end, An Ge only squeezed out one sentence: "But today's errand was explained by Lord Tan, if the prince has to take An Ge to listen to a little song, why don't you go and discuss it with Lord Tan?" ”
An Ge heard his father scold Dongchang, in Dali, Dongchang was directly under the emperor's orders, and Dongchang was more powerful during the first emperor's period, and if you want to deal with officials, you don't even have to report to the emperor. After the current saint ascended the throne, he tried every means to suppress Dongchang, but the foundation was too deep, and it was difficult to change this situation for a while. Today, Dongchang is still an institution feared by courtiers, and although the emperor's relatives will not be directly disposed of by Dongchang, they will not easily oppose them.
An Ge moved out of Tan and Bai, and sure enough, Yin Cheng was stunned for a long time before he said: "Since it is Lord Tan who explains, you can do it, and change the king of Japan to pick you up at the mansion." ”
Xiaoyu's father-in-law on the side didn't dare to interject, and it was estimated that he didn't have much chance to return the silver to An Ge, so he quietly stuffed the silver back into his sleeve, thinking that he would give it to her in the future, and it was better to sneak away now.
An Ge lowered his head, didn't reply anything, and hurried away...... She originally wanted to know more about the case, but he interrupted her! Afraid that Yin Yi would catch up, An Ge almost trotted all the way to the palace gate.
After a while, she saw that the palace gate was in front, and she was about to go in that direction, when a familiar voice came from behind her: "An Ge, are you out of the palace?" ”
An Ge was stunned, slowly turned around, and saw Su Yi'an walking towards him with a warm smile on his face, An Ge stopped and waited for him, and only nodded and replied after he arrived in front of him: "Yes, is Lord Su too?" ”
"Yes, Princess Mingheng has been cold these days, and I have been ordered to enter the palace to ask for her pulse." Su Yi'an and An Ge walked outside the palace together, and said with a smile, "You don't have to call me Lord Su, you and I are not officials, if you call me Lord Su, then I have to pay you back." ”
An Ge actually didn't want to listen to this "Lord An", shook his head when he heard the words, and said, "Then what do I call you?" ”
Su Yi'an thought about it seriously, it seemed that he had only met An Ge a few times, and it would be a little too intimate to let her call "Yi'an", so he said, "You just call me by my name." ”
"Oh......" An Ge nodded, but didn't shout it out for the time being.
The two of them silently walked out of the palace together, and at this time, it was close to noon, and the streets near the palace were very lively, and An Ge suddenly remembered that he had not yet had lunch...... Originally, she could still eat it when she went back to the mansion at this time, but she thought that Su Yi'an had invited her to eat some pea yellow before, and she had to invite others to eat a meal to return this favor, so she was about to invite Su Yi'an to have lunch, but Su Yi'an opened her mouth first: "An Ge, are you hungry?" There is a stall near here that sells noodles, the soup is thick and delicious, the noodles are also tough and refreshing, how about I invite you to eat? ”
An Ge was stunned, shook his head and just wanted to say that he should have a treat, but he didn't expect Su Yi'an to react when he saw her shaking his head, and said, "I forgot, you are a southerner, southerners rarely eat noodles, you should love rice, right?" There is also a stall selling steamed buns nearby, and there is Lanxi fire meat next door to his house, so you should love to eat it, right? ”
Bao'er rice is cooked in Hunan rice, and then the fine meat, fatty meat, ginger and garlic and other ingredients are cut into bean-sized pieces, mixed into the rice, and then wrapped with large lettuce leaves, so it is called "Bao'er rice", it is indeed a kind of food that is fashionable in the south, Lanxi fire meat is produced in Lanxi County, Jinhua Prefecture, where the pig breeders can almost be called craftsmen, the pork raised is delicious, plus their unique curing meat method, the Lanxi fire meat is made, many people from other countries have to come over to eat.
An Ge didn't expect Su Yi'an to know so much food, and thought of Liu Pingle, who also took eating as his lifelong pursuit, if the two of them were together, there would definitely be endless words. Thinking of this, An Ge couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing her laughing, Su Yi'an was stunned for a while and asked, "What are you laughing at?" Could it be that I am wrong? Aren't these the delicacies of the southerners? ”
"No, Lanxi is naturally from the south, and I often eat Bao'er rice when I am at home, I just thought of a friend of mine, she is very good at eating like you, you two have this in common, it is really a good match, I will definitely introduce her to you when I have the opportunity......"
"There are people living in the capital from all over the world, and naturally there is food from all over the world, and I naturally understand a little more when I eat more." Su Yi'an had a smile in his eyes and said jokingly, "And I don't think what you said is right, if you have something in common, you and I both have a 'An' in our names, aren't we also very compatible?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Su Yi'an and An Ge looked at each other, and they were silent, and the hustle and bustle around them seemed to be far away from them suddenly, and for a while it seemed that only the two of them were left in the world, and it took An Ge to come back to his senses after a while, thinking that he probably misunderstood the meaning of the other party, just like what she said "matching" only refers to the kind of match that can become a friend and confidant.
She coughed lightly and returned to the topic: "Last time you invited me to eat pea yellow, this time I should have invited you, I am not familiar with here, you pick the place." Oh yes, I don't pick rice or noodles, you just decide. ”
Su Yi'an was silent for a moment, even if she excused herself, she didn't want to think about it, she thought that Bao'er rice was much more expensive than Zangzi noodles, she didn't want An Ge to spend too much money, so she proposed: "Then Zangzi noodles." ”
An Ge naturally had no objection and went with him.
The seller of Zhenzi noodles was really just a small stall, with four tables, and next to the table was a stall that made noodles, Su Yi'an first asked for two bowls of Zhenzi noodles, and after a while, the stall owner came up with two bowls of noodles bigger than An Ge's face.
Su Yi'an handed the chopsticks to An Ge, lowered his head and took a bite, and then asked casually: "I see that you don't look like an ordinary woman, you are in Yangzhou, are you a rich lady?" ”
An Ge raised his eyes and replied, "My father, Yangzhou Mansion Yin." ”
Su Yi'an was a little surprised: "I didn't expect you to be a young lady from an official family, so why did you come to the capital alone?" Don't you have a little maid and maid around? ”
An Ge didn't want to reveal the draft, so he picked up some other key points and replied: "Although it is an official eunuch, the word 'rich' really can't afford it." There are only two maids in my family, both of whom are over 40 years old, one is responsible for laundry and cleaning, and the other is responsible for cooking, both of whom have been in our family for more than ten years, and they cannot afford to travel long distances, and they also need to stay at home to take care of their father. There are only two small servants, one is responsible for the home and one is responsible for running errands, and they can't afford more. ”
Su Yi'an was even more surprised: "How could it be...... As far as I know, even in the capital where the officials are not high-ranking officials, slaves are ......" Su Yi'an suddenly thought of something and stopped the topic in time. The officials of Dali are not high, and it is normal to be like An Ge's father, and there are groups of concubines in the official family, so if you think about it, you will know where their concubines came from.
Don't talk nonsense, the capital is full of nobles, and you can smash several leaves when they fall, so as not to be heard and tracked down, and then it will affect him, a petty official who really has no money.
After a pause, Su Yi'an asked again: "Did you deliberately go north to make money?" But you are a woman who is so far away from home...... Is something not worth it? ”
An Ge shook his head: "I'm looking for something." ”
"What's that?" After Su Yi'an asked, seeing An Ge's embarrassed face as if he didn't want to answer, he said, "If you don't want to say it, forget it, if you can say it, maybe I can help you." In fact, when I was a child, I followed the Jianghu traveling doctor to the north and south, and at the age of 12 I entered Beijing to cure a stubborn disease for a member of the royal family, and then I was recommended to enter the palace to become a doctor, and I have been in the capital for eight years, and I am familiar with this place. ”
Yes, he's been a physician for eight years, so he should be familiar with the palace, right? Maybe you really know something...... And he's so gentle, he shouldn't be a bad person...... Maybe I can really help myself.
She looked at Su Yi'an's gentle eyebrows, unable to associate him with the bad guys, so she simply said directly: "My late mother was on an errand in the palace before, she left a book, and my mother said on her deathbed that the book was her life's work, if she couldn't find it, she also felt pity under Jiuquan, so I wanted to help my deceased mother get this book." ”
"I see, you are so filial." Su Yi'an praised sincerely, and said, "Then do you know which palace your mother was in on an errand back then?" ”
"......" An Ge had nothing to say, before she came to the capital, she thought that the palace was a slightly larger courtyard, but when she arrived, she realized that it was like this, there were so many palaces in the palace, and there were so many pavilions in the palace. She only blamed herself for seeing too little, and the poverty of Anfu limited her imagination.
Su Yi'an raised his eyebrows: "If you think about it carefully, are there no clues?" The imperial city is so big that it takes many days just to get acquainted with it, and it is even more difficult to find things. ”
An Ge held his chin and thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Oh yes, I know that my mother used to be an errand boy with a princess...... That was nearly eighteen years ago, I don't think the emperor is very old, that princess shouldn't be his daughter, could it be the emperor's sister who lived in the palace before? ”
Su Yi'an shook his head: "As far as I know, the emperor has two elder brothers, six younger brothers, and no sisters. What is the title of that princess? Did your mother say that? ”
"Like...... It seems to be called Yuan Yi? An Ge said uncertainly, "Have you heard of it?" Is there this princess in the palace? ”
Su Yi'an was stunned suddenly, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and after a while, he said: "Princess Yuanyi, she is the princess sent by the neighboring country to the first emperor, she has already died, the people in her palace before, the palace people in Dali have gone out of the palace like your mother to find another way to make a living, and the palace people who came from the neighboring countries with her were all martyred for her." Because she had been dead for several years when I arrived in the capital, I don't know much about the specifics. ”
"Huh? Is the clue all broken? The hope that An Ge had just ignited was poured cold water again, and asked worriedly.
"No, she still has a son alive." Su Yi'an replied, "It's the Seventh Prince, Yin Yi." ”
