Chapter 86: The Outlanders Are Coming
Waiting, waiting, I finally saw a man in his forties, wearing court clothes, coming out of the banker's sedan chair.
Zhuang Siyan's eyes were almost blind.
Isn't it, Old Man Zhuang is so handsome? She thought it was an old greasy old man, but she didn't expect to be so young and temperamental, and he cleaned up quite cleanly, and his gestures were reserved and noble, which made Zhuang Siyan a little proud.
is not a loss to the original owner's father, he does have the momentum and coercion of the master, and the most important thing is that he is still so young.
Zhuang Siyan began to wonder if Zhuang Sangongzi was born to him, that gentleman looked almost thirty years old, and he didn't match this father at all.
However, Ling Tiancheng's example told her that in this ancient period where there were groups of wives and concubines, anything could happen, and Zhuang Changyuan could not raise someone else's son in the mansion and give him such a good life.
When Zhuang Siyan was busy admiring his father's appearance on the beam, Zhuang Changyuan had already come out of the sedan chair and walked to the backyard.
Along the way, there were domestic servants and maids passing to each other: "The master is back, the master is back, the master is back......"
The sound reached the main hall in the courtyard at the back.
Lunch had been prepared, and dozens of maids and servants were set up inside and outside the main hall, carrying washbasins, towels, official uniforms, and preparing to change clothes.
There are also those who serve food and drink on the table, all of them are well-trained, silent, and waiting for Zhuang Changyuan to come over.
The pomp and circumstance were bigger than Ling Tiancheng's, and even the dishes on the table were full of color, flavor, and flavor.
This made Zhuang Siyan, who hadn't eaten much since last night, drooling when he saw it, and he couldn't wait to jump out and recognize Old Man Zhuang, and then eat at the same table with him.
It's just that Zhuang Changyuan eats very slowly, and every bite of food has to be prepared by the maid, put it on a plate, and then serve it to him, and this guy will eat it.
Zhuang Siyan had a headache when he saw it, isn't this too hungry? If he is allowed to go without food for three days, Guan Bao will not toss like this, it is simply to kill the people who watch it.
The first good impression I had when I saw him, because the meal was gone.
By the time Zhuang Changyuan finished eating, more than an hour had passed.
As soon as he got up, a servant came and changed his clothes, and cleaned his hands and face, and then a group of people went to another courtyard.
The guard in this courtyard is very strict, Zhuang Siyan searched outside for a long time, but he couldn't find a place to go in, so he could only temporarily retreat.
She was quite well prepared, and when she was in Zhuang Wenfeng's courtyard, she prepared a set of servants' clothes, and then she simply found a hidden place and changed her clothes.
A few minutes later, Zhuang Siyan, who reappeared in the Zhuang Prime Minister's mansion, had become a complete domestic servant.
It's just that she still can't get in, because this courtyard, except for Zhuang Changyuan's relatives, no one else can enter.
Zhuang Siyan, who had been wandering outside for a long time, didn't find a chance to go in, and was afraid that he would be exposed, so he temporarily found a yard where there was no one, jumped in, and took some food from outside.
This yard is not very conspicuous among the many yards in the backyard, but judging from the structure inside, it should also be a young lady's boudoir.
It's just that it looks like no one has lived in it for a long time, and there is dust in many places, and the beds and chairs are covered with cloths.
Zhuang Siyan tried to go inside, but when he saw that there was no one guarded, he became bold and went directly to the main house.
The main house is simply furnished, but there are only a few pieces of furniture and utensils, and the texture and materials are still very good.
What attracted Zhuang Siyan's attention the most was a guqin in the house.
The piano is smaller than the piano that Zhuang Siyan saw in the palace, but the piano wood is carved with anti-real water lines, which is very beautiful.
The piano was originally covered with a piece of cloth, and when Zhuang Siyan reached out to take it away, his fingertips accidentally touched the strings, and there was a crisp "ding dong" sound on it.
Zhuang Siyan was startled, so he didn't look closely, covered the cloth, turned around and went to the back of the bed to hide.
After a long time, seeing that no one had come in, she came out again and began to judge from the things in the house which young lady would live here.
Then, to her sorrow, she found out that this was the boudoir of the original owner.
Because she found a hanging sachet on the side of the bed, with the word "Yan" embroidered on it, and there were handkerchiefs and the like, which also had words on them.
"It's really fate, I actually moved to my room." Zhuang Siyan thought, his hands had already begun to rummage through the cabinets, looking for something about the original owner.
She was really found, and in a cage, she saw a set of men's clothes, and some broken trinkets, which were embroidered with the word "Yuan".
Zhuang Siyan almost understood, this should be the original owner's fiancΓ©, the two have always been good friends, but they were inserted by Ling Tiancheng, and finally let the original owner enter the palace.
And the memories of that man, the original owner is also sealed here.
Zhuang Siyan folded the things and only picked up a handkerchief and stuffed it into his arms for future use.
After staying for a long time, when she came out of the original main room, the sky had already darkened.
The winter time really can't stand the stumbling, and if she doesn't hurry up, when she is about to return to the palace, she may not be able to find Zhuang Changyuan's handle.
Zhuang Siyan took advantage of the twilight to sneak back to the courtyard where Zhuang Changyuan had entered before, and waited here for more than half an hour, waiting for the night to be completely dark.
She saw a group of people coming this way.
Zhuang Siyan didn't think about it, so he put a pile of people walking behind, pulled his belt with his hand, tied his hands and feet from behind, and took off his cloth socks and stuffed them into his mouth.
When they caught up with the group of people again, before they reached the door, Zhuang Siyan adjusted his own and followed behind the door of the group of people.
As she passed by the doorway, she sensed that the guards were still watching her warily.
The people who want to come and go here, they should all be familiar with it, so they will keep staring at her.
Fortunately, it was night, and they couldn't see clearly, and the leader said that there was something urgent, so they quickly passed through the door and walked inside.
After entering the hospital, Zhuang Siyan almost scolded.
In the entire courtyard, there were sentry posts everywhere, both bright and dark, and the frightened back was cold, suspecting that his actions outside might have been seen.
It's just that things have come to this point, even if you want to go back, you can't do it, you can only go forward.
This courtyard is indeed a very important place in the Zhuang Mansion, except for Zhuang Changyuan and his important guests, even the concubines are not allowed to enter.
At this moment, there were two people sitting in the hall, one was Luo Ke and the other was Jian Min.
Zhuang Changyuan went out for something just now, and came back half an hour later, and said with a smile: "Let the two adults wait for a long time." β
Luo Ke only replied casually, but Jian Min hurriedly got up and said, "Xiangye is polite, of course the affairs in the house are the most important." β
Zhuang Changyuan waved his hand and said, "It's not a matter in the house, but a matter outside." β
Luo Ke's eyes sank a little, but he didn't answer, just picked up the teacup and swallowed slowly.
Zhuang Changyuan naturally saw his actions and asked, "What does Lord Luo think about this matter?" β
Luo Ke replied: "I have always been taken care of by Xiangye, so naturally I still listen to your arrangement." β
"Lord Luo's words are polite, although this matter is led by my Zhuang, but the two adults have also made a lot of efforts, just this time back to Beijing, if it weren't for the help of the two of you, Zhuang would not have this opportunity."
Luo Ke didn't accept his move: "Xiangye, the lower officials don't dare to take credit, this is all the credit of Concubine Wan, no one thought that she could die and live later."
was obviously beaten into the cold palace by the emperor, but he was able to transform himself into the sister of General Ye.
not only re-entered the palace and stayed by the emperor's side, but also found an opportunity for the prime minister to return to the court. β
Every sentence is a praise of Zhuang Siyan, but Zhuang Changyuan's face has changed greatly when he listens.
The three of them have always joined forces, and at this time, Luo Ke pushed this matter away, saying that it was not credit, but in fact, he wanted to get himself out.
How could Zhuang Changyuan be so easy to dismiss?
He sneered and said: "Lord Luo, how is Zhuang's daughter, I know it myself, if this matter is not deployed by Lord Luo, even if she has a strategy, she will not be able to do it today."
Isn't that key token passed on by Luo Ke?
It is also Zhuang who is ashamed, this thing has been in the little girl's room for a long time, although Zhuang has thought about using it, but he has never been able to find it, but he didn't expect Lord Luo to make a move, and immediately solve the matter. β
Luo Ke's face also changed, and finally smiled: "Xiangye has won the award." β
Zhuang Changyuan glanced at him and smiled.
The more people on this line are tied, the safer they will be, because no one wants to die, so they have to desperately defend what they have now.
This was Zhuang Changyuan's original plan, as for the wooden card that made Ling Tiancheng change his attention, how Luo Ke did it, they all knew it.
Zhuang Siyan is just one of his chess pieces, if one day, this day is in his hands, then the life or death of this chess piece depends on her own life.
Zhuang Siyan heard some of their words, and he also missed a lot.
Because it was far away from the main hall, those people spoke quietly, and she didn't dare to lean forward, so she could only listen and guess.
But when she heard that the token was given to her by Luo Ke, she was still shocked.
Luo Ke actually saw her and let people look at her in the palace, did he know that when he appeared in front of him dressed as a man?
Is what I found in his house still credible?
The old treacherous and cunning is talking about these people, who are usually quiet and good people, but their eyes are more poisonous than anything else, and what they do in secret is even more unguardable.
Zhuang Siyan felt that several pairs of eyes rose out of thin air behind him, looking at her deadly, creepy.
And the people in the room, after talking for a while, had already come out, and Zhuang Changyuan led them to another room.
Zhuang Siyan followed with a few servants.
Far away, I heard the voice of someone talking inside, rough and loud, but I couldn't understand what was said.
Zhuang Siyan's spirit came all of a sudden.
Outlanders?
This Zhuang Changyuan really has a connection with the outsiders, and the situation is quite close.
It seems that his crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason is not groundless, but Zhuang Siyan can't understand why Ling Tian has become an effective handle that didn't catch him last time.
