Chapter 19: Where's the Weirdness
"The white fox sent to Sikong Mansion some time ago, isn't there one that suits his liking?"
Emperor Yu felt a little headache, although it was a good thing that Sikong didn't come to the court, but this is always a special person, and he really didn't know what to do with him for a while.
"Your Majesty, all these years have passed, and the relationship between Lord Sikong and the original white fox is extraordinary. Just like people, they can't be resurrected after death, so how can they be easily replaced. ”
Emperor Yu sighed: "That's the same, I don't want Sikong to be such an affectionate person." ”
Sikong's wrist is not ordinary people, he always has a smile on his face, and having such a shortcoming is actually not a bad thing for him.
"That's it, since Sikong doesn't want to go out, then don't bother him yet. However, this reward still needs to be implemented as soon as possible. ”
"Yes, but this person was chosen to be on top?"
Emperor Yu had an idea: "Let King Wu go, that is his future wife, see each other more, and the relationship will be better when you get married in the future." ”
"But Your Majesty, this doesn't make sense."
"Our Li family is doing things, where is there anything unreasonable, look at this King Wu, he can be regarded as benevolent and righteous to the court, and now his marriage is a big event, who would dare to intervene. I've already decided on something, and I don't want to say much about those imperial histories. "Emperor Yu has made up his mind.
Besides, the reputation of King Wu's ruthlessness is outside, even if the imperial historians want to refer to him, they may have to weigh it.
"After the next court tomorrow, you will have someone intercept King Wu halfway and let him come to me."
The servant nodded yes.
Right Prime Minister's Mansion.
The old slave in front of the door kept looking out.
"Uncle Nan, hasn't the fifth master come back yet?"
"No, I don't know where to drink, I will go to court tomorrow, this ancestor is still every shadow."
That Zhao Yan ranked fifth in the Zhao family, and he was an idle person on weekdays, and he was out touring the mountains and rivers when he was young.
I heard several times that this fifth master seemed to want to lose his hair, but he was stopped by his family, so he did not succeed in becoming a monk.
I never thought that he was interested in the court, and the Zhao family's relationship network was layered, all paving the way for this master.
But people always feel that every one has landed.
This lord married a lady in his early years, but the lady died with a thin life.
Zhao Yan became a widower, as if he was relieved, and returned to the wanton time before marriage.
Although they are the descendants of the Zhao family, there is no housewife in the family, and the master is often not at home, so there is no backbone on weekdays.
Seeing that Zhao Yan had not returned to the house for a long time, Uncle Nan didn't know whether it was better to close the door, so it was better to let people go out to find him.
When I was anxious and didn't know what to do, three figures appeared not far away.
Uncle Nan fixed his eyes and looked at it, wasn't the person being pulled in the middle of it Zhao Yan, the fifth master of his family?
He hurried three steps to two and ran toward them.
Zhao Yan was drunk, and it was the guy in the tavern who brought him back: "Uncle Nan, Lord Zhao has drunk to this point, and there is no carriage, so we will walk back, you are in a hurry." ”
Uncle Nan touched the tears in the corners of his eyes: "That's not it, it's just my old bones, and I'm still bothering you to help put my fifth master into the mansion." ”
When he came out, Uncle Nan also gave the two guys their hard-earned money.
The two guys swept the silver and said politely: "This is as it should be, as it should be." ”
After the two people left, Uncle Nan slowly closed the door.
Zhao Yan was taking a bath in the house, and he was drowsy.
There are many shadows in front of me, and people come and go.
He took a few steps forward and hugged someone, but only the person's leg.
Hey, did you look so small?
In the blink of an eye, he was in a warm room again, and the north wind was howling outside.
The woman on the bed was terminally ill, and a little girl was crying beside the bed.
Zhao Yan felt extremely uncomfortable, he knew that woman, that woman was his mother.
"Sister, you don't want to die, I won't allow you to die." The little girl cried in a hoarse voice.
But the woman on the bed did not speak.
The little girl seemed to hear the sound, and she turned her face towards Zhao Yan, but it was as if she had been caught by something.
"You're here."
Zhao Yan opened his mouth: "Auntie......"
In the dream, Zhao Yan was very uncomfortable, as if someone had grabbed him by the throat, he struggled and screamed.
Knock and clump until he swallowed the water in the tub several times.
Zhao Yan woke up at this moment.
Of course, the wine did not dissipate, he drank too much, and his whole body was red.
He struggled to get up from the bucket: "Uncle Nan, didn't you say don't put me in the hot water bucket, I almost died." ”
Zhao Yan's clothes were pulled clean, and the sky was pitiful, he was a right prime minister, and he couldn't say that he was a subordinate.
He was talking here, and there was no sound outside, and there was no such thing as him.
Zhao Yan rinsed the water in the bathtub again before getting dressed and coming out.
He was familiar with the contents of his house.
Light the lamp, pour tea, lean back on the bench and wobbly.
The lamp printed his shadow, and Zhao Yan took a sip of cold tea, not swallowing, just in his mouth.
He was thinking about the things in the dream, and the people in it.
Originally, he wondered why he felt that Miss Chen Si was familiar, it turned out to be strange here.
The aunt in the dream, the face she turned around was not much different from this Miss Chen Si, and there was a small red mole in the corner of her eye.
In the corner of people's eyes, there is usually a shadow, so if you are not close to someone, you can't find it at all.
And when he saw Miss Chen Si, he subconsciously looked at the corner of her eye.
If you are not mistaken, Miss Chen Si also has such a small dot in the same position, but the color is very light.
But Zhao Yan doesn't know if it's his hallucination, if people have associations in their hearts, their eyes will see something that doesn't exist at all.
Zhao Yan knew that his eyes would deceive people.
So he could only keep overlapping the faces of his aunt and Miss Chen Si over and over again, the more he thought about it, the more he looked at it, but it didn't look like it.
Zhao Yan sighed.
I don't know when the sound of beating the watch sounded outside.
He still didn't want to.
There was silence in the house, and the candles shortened little by little with the light of the fire.
In the middle of the night, Uncle Nan came in with a candle.
He moved freely in the house, even Zhao Yan was lying on the recliner, he could see it at a glance.
covered him with a thin quilt, and Uncle Nan left again.
It's dawn.
The apples had been waiting outside, but they hadn't heard anything inside.
After another half an hour, Apple sensed something was wrong and began to knock on the door.
"Miss, miss."
"I'm awake."
Chen Hua had already dressed up and sat at the desk tinkering with her things.
"Why are you so flustered today?"
Apple snorted a few times: "The slave always can't hear your voice outside, so in a hurry, he ......"
Chen Hua laughed in his heart: "Forget it, hurry up to breakfast, it just so happens that I am also hungry." ”
No matter what else, in ordinary life, Chen Hua is quite easy to serve.
I won't sulk at my next life, nor will I be weird about yin and yang, and I will eat whatever I want, and I will generally take it farther away if I don't like to eat, and I won't go to chopsticks.
This is still good for the little maid waiting for dinner in the back.
After washing up after dinner, Chen Hua neither went out nor talked much, and went back to his desk.
Because she had carved here for a few days, the drawings in her mind became clearer and clearer.
Seeing this, Chen Hua didn't want to draw them anymore, so as not to cause trouble.
It's just that no matter how much he always holds a carving knife and carves, there is no obvious progress, so Chen Hua moved his gaze to Miss Chen Si's books.
These are all books that are particularly easy to obtain, and Miss Chen Si has one and a half dollars every month.
In addition to spending on Ryoanji Temple, it is here in the book.
The words she wrote were more beautiful, Chen Hua tried to take the pen by herself, and found that she wrote harder, and the words were particularly strong.
It's not good-looking, it's not ugly, and because of the effort, it's a little neat.
After writing a few words, Chen Hua put down the pen.
And just as she was holding a book and reading it with relish, there was a noise outside.
"Fourth Miss, I have your holy decree again."
This time it was a steady stream of rewards, Chen Hua knelt on the ground, listening to the long list of reward names, his head was aching faintly.
It seems that this Emperor Yu is afraid that his daughter-in-law of King Wu will not be serious enough to resist King Wu, so he has to hold so many gold and silver treasures to suppress her at once.
Chen Wenli, the prime minister of Zuo, was originally from an ordinary family, although he became an official, the family's shop began to have a surplus, and he usually received gifts, but in front of these royal rewards, it was not enough to see at all.
And the other ladies almost all looked at Chen Hua with envy.
These things, but they are really hers.
But Chen Hua was expressionless, because the person who came to announce the decree was Li Cong, the king of Wu.
He came obviously reluctantly, but just stood aside, and the one who read the decree was a chamberlain who came in with him.
It was really not easy to see the chamberlain forcing himself to open his mouth to announce the decree, and King Wu, who was standing next to him, was like a black-faced god.
"Courtiers Shane."
After reading it, Chen Hua got up and took the order.
The finished reward was still being sent to her yard.
It seems that King Wu still has someone who can hold it down, even if he is not happy, he still comes.
Chen Wenli rarely got along with King Wu, but he still said a few words according to the courtesy.
Those words were dry, and he was embarrassed to listen to what he said.
King Wu only responded from time to time.
Chen Hua received the decree and had no intention of leaving, but looked at the king of Wu fixedly.
If it was usual, Chen Wenli would have scolded her for not knowing etiquette.
But having such a daughter here will not make him particularly uncomfortable.
After all, compared to the girl's family, he only needs to be polite and not rude.
Look at his daughter, standing in front of the door and staring at the king of Wu, he is not ashamed, is he not as good as a little girl?
Joke!
Chen Hua didn't know the changes in Chen Wenli's heart, even Li Cong didn't have the heart to listen to what he was saying.
He was a martial artist, so he naturally knew that Chen Hua was watching him.
And Chen Wenli slowly discovered that Li Cong didn't want to listen to himself at all.
Only then did he know what Li Cong was here for, oops, why was he so stupid?
"My four daughters are usually stubborn, and I will ask His Royal Highness King Wu to take care of them more in the future. Si'er, come here, you can talk to His Royal Highness King Wu, looking at your appearance, it seems that you have something to say to His Highness. Don't be afraid, just say it. ”
Chen Hua felt a little evil in his heart, so how could Chen Wenli have a set of faces and a set of hearts.
She took a few steps forward and stood in front of Li Cong steadily: "Your Highness, why don't we go out and talk?" ”
There were too many people coming and going, and they were staring at each other, and Chen Hua couldn't speak.
Li Cong saw that this little girl really had something to say to him, so he nodded and turned around and went out.
Chen Hua saluted Chen Wenli, ignoring his somewhat darkened face, and trotted out with Li Cong.
Li Cong didn't walk fast, but he was tall and had long legs.
Time flies too fast, although she is taller than before, she can't compare to this Li Cong.
His body, including his face, has changed.
Except for some vague shadows before, in fact, for her, this is a stranger.
