Chapter 141: The Chess Game
Sitting on the couch, a game of endgame was set up on the chessboard in front of Xiao Rongyue, and there were many sunspots trapping the few whites in it, and the roads in the south, east, west, and northwest were almost blocked, which could be described as embattled.
She looked at the chess game and didn't move for a long time, so long that when the camellia who came in with the little maid brought in the food on the side thought that she was asleep, she suddenly reached out and took a sunspot from the chessboard, revealing a faint smile: "If it can be Wei Guogong, maybe it won't be bad." ”
Camellia was stunned: "Lady, this is ......"
I played chess with myself for a long time on the chessboard, and I was talking to myself, and I didn't know what was wrong.
Xiao Rongyue clapped her hands and got up at this time, and looked at the food served with a smile: "What did Sister-in-law Ke do today?" ”
Camellia laughed at this time: "In the past few days, Xianghua went to Sister-in-law Ke to help, and when she talked about the dishes of Chang'an, Sister-in-law Ke fell in love, and she steamed osmanthus sugar cake and made eight-treasure duck." ”
Xiao Rongyue smiled and shook her head: "That's cheaper Guangdan." ”
"No, she's been in the kitchen for the past few days and is reluctant to take half a step." Camellia smiled and set the bowl.
Xiao Rongyue took a piece of preserved rose meat from the chopstick, and said to her with a smile: "Talk to Sister-in-law Ke, for the sake of Guangdan's diligence, let her help try the dishes." ”
Camellia served a bowl of mountain mushroom pheasant soup next to her: "The lady is too indulgent to her, and I am afraid that she will be even more gluttonous in the future." ”
Xiao Rongyue's eyebrows curled: "I must choose a family for her that can afford her, and let her be fed." ”
Camellia laughed for a while, and said angrily: "The lady makes fun of the maids all day long." ”
After eating, Xiao Rongyue asked Sanqi to send someone to invite Akeli over: "Is there any movement in those places in the past few days?" ”
Akeli replied: "There is no movement over there in the Ruyang Hou Mansion, and the ship company is also pulling goods out of the port as usual, but the Weiwei Mansion ......"
His voice lowered: "Two days ago, several guards in the Weiwei Mansion changed their robes and quietly went out of the city, and the people who stared at it didn't dare to alarm after discovering it, and followed several markets, and when they arrived at the city gate, they didn't dare to follow anymore, and they came back to reply. ”
"Out of town?" Xiao Rongyue was puzzled.
"Yes, I first drove the carriage to Jinchengfang West Street, and when I came out, I went straight to Kaiyuanmen."
Jinchengfang! The Chungmu General's Mansion is in Jinchengbang!
Xiao Rongyue's eyes sharpened, she thought that Mrs. An's death was nothing more than the handiwork of the crown prince or King Liang, but she didn't expect it to be the Weiwei Mansion, but where could Zhao Yonggui think of such an idea, unless...... Zhao Wan'er!
She tightened her hand holding the perilla drink, let go again, and put the bowl on the table beside her: "Can you find out who they saw when they went to Jinchengfang?" ”
Akeli was embarrassed, and frowned: "Lady, if you want to investigate such a thing, I'm afraid that there are people who have been specially trained, and there are only ordinary stewards and guys in the shop now, and it's okay to run an errand on weekdays to inquire about the news, but if you want to investigate things, there is still a little lacking." ”
Xiao Rongyue nodded: "Yes, there are really not many people available now, and since the Weiwei Mansion wants to hide people's eyes and ears, it is not possible to detect it." ”
She thought for a while: "Let's go to Mao Er, give him more money, let him inquire about anything unusual in Jinchengfang recently, inquire about everything clearly, and then come back to talk to me." ”
"In addition, I want to know about the Huainan Hou Mansion and the Xuanwei General's Mansion, as before, there can be no omissions inside and out."
Acrylic responded, but he didn't get up to do it, but said in a low voice: "The little one has a mind and wants to talk to the lady." ”
Xiao Rongyue knew Acrylic's ability, and she said gently: "You say come and listen." ”
"The little one has seen Mao Er and the little beggars on both sides, and it also makes people inquire carefully, the group of beggars outside the gate of Daqin Temple are all rabble, some fled to Chang'an, some were abducted and sold, and they are all fatherless, motherless and have no official hand, even if they want to sell themselves as slaves, they can't, so they gather together, even Mao Er only became the leader because he was older and sophisticated."
His messy gray beard was cocked, and his eyes were full of shrewdness: "The little one was thinking at the time, wouldn't it be great if we could gather all this gang and let them inquire about the matter of their food, clothing, and shelter?" ”
The corners of Xiao Rongyue's mouth slowly showed a smile, and she didn't rush to speak, just listened to him.
"Speaking of which, they are not picky or greedy, and they are satisfied with food, clothing, and some money, but the news they have inquired about is very reliable, and this transaction can be said to be rare." After Akeli finished speaking, he owed Xiao Rongyue again, "The little one is humble for a while, and please don't blame the lady." ”
Xiao Rongyue laughed: "What you said is right, having them in their hands has also added convenience, and this matter will be left to you." ”
"They are used to being lazy, I'm afraid they are not used to being restrained, you just have to talk to Mao Er, just say that there is fifty yuan per person every month in addition to food and clothing, and buy an inconspicuous small courtyard next to Daqin Temple to live with them, and they will not be too eye-catching when they go in and out."
Akeli just responded, only to hear Xiao Rongyue say again: "If Mao Er still refuses, you tell him again in the end, just say that the owner and Mrs. Mi are old friends, needless to say, he will agree." ”
Acrylic didn't know why, and wanted to ask Xiao Rongyue, but when he saw her slowly eating and drinking with a bowl, he got up and left.
After Acrylic left, Xiao Rongyue sighed with a smile, I didn't think that many things went around and around or returned to the original point, it was Dou Mi who took pity on Mao Er and they slept in the open air, so they gave money and silver to help them, Mao Er and they tried their best to find out the news for Dou Mi, but now Acrylic also thought of this, so it's good, at least the news of Chang'an is much better.
But the Guard's Mansion ...... Thinking of this, the smile on Xiao Rongyue's face slowly faded, but Zhao Wan'er still didn't hold back and began to meddle in the affairs of the court.
Behind Zhao Wan'er is the Liang Wangfu, and the matter of Mrs. An must be the meaning of the King of Liang, getting rid of the Zhongwu general, the King of Liang has to face only the prince, but the prince has Wei Guogong and Huainan Hou, the two generals of the Langya Cheng family, if the King of Liang wants to take the step of the northwest general, he can only seize the opportunity and let His Majesty be optimistic about the Xuanwei general Min Lu.
With Xiao Rongyue's understanding of King Liang, I am afraid that he will not think about relying on his military qualifications or the ability to march and fight, he only believes in means.
In the past, when Dou Mi was still alive, he had also seen King Liang act a few times, he waited in front of Zhaoqing Gate early before the court meeting, and saw the two Langjun of the Fu family coming over, completely ignoring their identity, personally stepped forward to lead the horse for them, and on weekdays they were even more favored, and ordered people to search for the calligraphy and paintings of the former dynasty and send them to Fu Dalang, and the dipterocarp of the Western Regions bought by the daughter was given to Fu Erlang, just to ask them to say a few good words in front of His Majesty.
That's why he was able to stand out from the Lu family and become the first to be named a prince.
But this time Xiao Rongyue didn't want to stand by anymore, she didn't want King Liang to succeed, otherwise the Ruyang Marquis Mansion and the Weiwei Mansion would also take advantage of this to gain power, Xiao Rongyue was not confused, Dou Mi's death was inseparable.
