Volume 2: Cinnabar in the Heart Chapter 191 An Old Man
When he left the palace, Xiao Dongli looked up at the sky, the sky was a little gray, and it was about to rain. At this time, there are few people on the street, so it is easy to travel.
"Third Master, don't you want to wait any longer?" Qingmo said, "Miss Shangguan didn't know that you were leaving today. ”
"Let's go!" Xiao Dong got out of the car, took a deep breath and lowered the curtain, but subconsciously raised his hand to pick up the curtain. It was raining outside, and the raindrops hit the roof of the car with a heavy muffled sound.
The carriage slowly moved away, and he let go, but his heart hurt as much as Lingchi.
The luggage has already been prepared, and now this walk, the shortest is two months, the most is three months, but every day he is separated from her, he feels tormented. It's been so long, but it's ......
It was raining, and there were fewer people on the streets.
The carriage staggered out, and an umbrella painted with roses appeared at the head of the city, and she watched the carriage drive out of the eastern capital. The vision was a little blurry, and I don't know if it was because of the rain and fog, but I couldn't see the carriage not far away.
The rain poured down, and the rain in winter was already cold, but now standing in the rain, my body and heart are cold, but my eyes are hot, and it is so hot that it is unbearable.
Standing far away without makeup, looking at Shangguan Jingyu in a light-colored wide-sleeved fairy dress, the cold wind swept across her shawl, and the roses on her head seemed to bloom against the wind, so delicate that they were enough to lose their eyes.
Shangguan Jingyu stood so firmly, and kept standing until the carriage finally disappeared at the end of the rain curtain.
I'll wait for you to come back.
However, don't make me wait too long, I'm afraid that I can't wait that long.
"Ah Jing, go back." stepped forward without makeup, if it weren't for Qingmo's flying pigeon to pass the book, maybe she wouldn't even have a chance to give it a ride. Now, it can be regarded as a send-off.
He didn't know, but she knew his heart was distressed.
Shangguan Jingyu lowered his head, unable to distinguish whether it was rain or tears on his face, hot and cold, with unbearable sourness. She took a deep breath, and the hand holding the umbrella was already purple from the cold, and the tip of her nose was also red from the cold.
With a mouthful of white mist, she forced a smile, "Go back." ”
Su Yan let go, "By the way, Hairun said that he had something important to look for you, and now he is eating for the sky." If you're in a bad mood, we'll go back first, and everything will ......."
"Let's go eat for the sky!" Shangguan Jingyu smiled, "I'm not sad, he promised that he would come back." I believe in Him, I wait. ”
"Okay." Without saying much, he drove with Shangguan Jingyu to eat for the sky.
In the Accord where food is the sky, Hairun and Shangguan Zhiyuan have been waiting there for a long time.
Seeing Shangguan Jingyu enter the door, Shangguan Zhiyuan was the first to stand up, his eyes shining, "Sister, you're here." ”
Shangguan Jingyu smiled, "Sit down." I don't know what happened to me in such a hurry? ”
Hearing this, Shangguan Zhiyuan glanced at Hairun, and then looked at Shangguan Jingyu with a smile.
Hairun said, "That's right, the imperial mausoleum has delayed some construction periods, and the emperor has ordered the Ministry of Industry to speed up the process." Lord Shangshu asked me to supervise the construction, but as far as I know, the money for the construction of the Imperial Tomb by the Ministry of Works was not in place at all, which would lead to a delay in the construction period. Not only that, He Shucheng, the son of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, in the name of cultivating tombs on the side of Yulong Mountain, invaded fertile land and oppressed the people, as if he was a little overlord there. It's a pity that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and this matter is ......"
Before he finished speaking, Hairun glanced at Shangguan Jingyu, and naturally there was no need to say more.
Although Hairun is a waiter in the Ministry of Works, he is the son of Shangshu, not to mention ...... Hairun has just joined the company, and he wants to call the deep-rooted Shangshu, which can be described as a grasshopper shaking the tree.
"Want to use the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Shangguan Jingyu's face was calm.
Hairun smiled, "You said it, if you want to ask for the people's life, you have to let go of the morality in your heart." ”
"But you should understand that the Ministry of Industry Shangshu does not dare to blatantly embezzle the imperial court's Xiuling silver, there must be someone behind this." Shangguan Jingyu is not a fool.
"I heard that Shangshu and the prince have a close relationship." Hairun said, "I'm afraid that the emperor knows about this matter, but as for why he didn't say it, it's incredible." ”
"The prince is the prince after all, and if he is corrupt, it is not enough to abolish the crown prince." Shangguan Jingyu frowned, "I'm afraid this matter is not that simple." ”
Hearing this, Hairun was stunned, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"Small accumulation, dripping water through stones." She sighed lightly, "Lao Tzu calculates his son, but he also looks very good." ”
Hairun got up instantly, "You said that the emperor had a heart, but it was to let the prince show a bigger flaw." ”
"Isn't this question of Xin'an clear enough? The crown prince is now in peace, so next, the emperor should start closing. Shangguan Jingyu clenched the cup in his hand.
Shangguan Zhiyuan's heart was slightly cold, "There is still such a calculation between father and son, it is really a ruthless emperor family since ancient times." ”
"Ruthless, not to mention the emperor's family. It's just that there are a lot of people in the emperor's family! Shangguan Jingyu took a sip of fragrant tea, "There is still some time before Chinese New Year's Eve, and Mr. still has time to deal with it." During this time, the DPRK and the DPRK must be busy, and my father will definitely not take care of me, if possible, I will go with you. ”
"You?" Shangguan Zhiyuan got up instantly, "No!" How can my sister go to the imperial mausoleum, there are all construction men, and it is not very safe, and my sister is inconvenient. ”
Shangguan Jingyu shook his head, "I don't know if the identity of the daughter of the Shangguan family is enough in Yulong Mountain." ”
Hairun was calm, "The weight is enough, I'm afraid the means are not enough." ”
"That's right." She smiled, "Then it depends on Mr., as the saying goes, ginger is still old and spicy." ”
Hearing this, Hai Runlang laughed twice, "You ghost girl." However, what Zhiyuan said is not unreasonable, it is really not suitable for you to go there. ”
He didn't know that without Xiao Dongli's Eastern Capital, she didn't want to stay for a moment.
The house was restless, and the outside of the house was uneasy, she was a little irritable, so she just took the time to go out for a walk. Growing up in the Prime Minister's Mansion for so many years, she has basically never left the Eastern Capital, except for that time, which is also the only time.
Forget it, don't want to.
Shangguan Jingyu sighed lightly, "I'm going there to visit an old man." ”
"The deceased?" Shangguan Zhiyuan frowned, "When did my sister have an old friend there?" "He has never seen Shangguan Jingyu go out, how can there be an old man in Yulong Mountain?
"Yes, old man." If she remembers correctly, her nurse should still have relatives alive, "Do you remember my nurse Liu?" ”
Shangguan Zhiyuan suddenly realized, "It's her." Remember. ”
"Yulong Mountain is the former residence of the nurse, and when I grew up, the nurse went back. Now taking advantage of the approaching Chinese New Year's Eve, I just went to see her. She let out a shallow breath.
"You're balancing public and private interests!" Hairun talked and laughed.
She said, "Naturally, it is necessary to take into account both public and private interests." is too ruthless to forget selfishness for work; It is immoral to forget public affairs because of selfishness. ”
When it was time to eat for the sky, Shangguan Zhiyuan said, "Sister, I'll go home with you." ”
Hairun waved his hand, and Gu Zi held his umbrella and left.
It was raining heavily outside, and Shangguan Jingyu frowned slightly, "Then let's go back together!" With that, he got into the carriage with Shangguan Zhiyuan.
Shangguan Zhiyuan was overjoyed, "Thank you, sister." ”
After getting into the car, she said, "What can Zhiyuan learn in the six yamen?" ”
"Master, professor, I really feel a lot." Shangguan Zhiyuan was serious, like a taught student, and said respectfully to Shangguan Jingyu, "The six yamen are all seniors, and Mr. and I are walking on thin ice, for fear of losing." However, during this time, Mr. read all the materials and books in the six Yamen warehouses, and probably knew about the internal arrangements of the Yamen and some early cases. ”
After a pause, Shangguan Zhiyuan seemed to remember something, "However, Mr. seems to be a little strange." ”
"What's weird?" She asked.
"Sir has been looking for information from the Criminal Department, and it seems that he is not just interested." Shangguan Zhiyuan has something to do, "It's like a bloody case many years ago." ”
"What bloodshed?" Shangguan Jingyu frowned.
He shook his head, "I don't know, Mr. didn't teach me to know, he just looked for it on his own." I only vaguely learned about it because I once bumped into my husband and was embarrassed by someone from the Criminal Department, and I helped him. ”
Murder case?
Hasn't she heard of any bloody cases on Hairun?
Where did the bloodshed come from?
Who is it related to?
Is it possible that there is some unknown secret in this Hairun's body?
It stands to reason that Hairun has an upright personality, and he will definitely be a loyal and good general in the future, and he will ask for his life for the people wholeheartedly, and he should not have any thoughts of doing evil. So Hairun kept his mouth shut, and even didn't say a word to everyone, was he afraid of implicating the people around him? If this is the case, presumably this case must be widely implicated, and it is very likely to harm the lives of his family.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Jingyu gasped and couldn't help frowning more and more.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Shangguan Zhiyuan was silent when he saw it, and his heart was a little flustered, "But what's uncomfortable?" My sister is weak, this Jade Dragon Mountain line, don't go! ”
"No, you can't go." She came back to her senses, pursed her lips and chuckled, "You don't care about this matter, Mr. naturally has a plan, you should pay more attention to it, don't make it difficult for Mr." ”
Shangguan Zhiyuan bowed his head, "What my sister said, Zhiyuan has always remembered it in my heart and dare not forget it." ”
She smiled, softly.
showed her a smile, and Shangguan Zhiyuan also smiled, smiling like a child with a clean and flawless smile.
Halfway through, Shangguan Jingyu went to Yunshui Pavilion, which was rich in rouge gouache, which was the best in the whole east. The carriage sent Shangguan Zhiyuan back first, and picked her up when he returned in a short time.
"How did you think of buying rouge gouache?" Su Yan was puzzled, "I don't see you use it." ”
"I didn't buy it for myself." Shangguan Jingyu entered with a smile, "Didn't I say it, I'm going to see the nurse." ”
Plain makeup pouted, "Your nurse is over forty years old, and you still need ......"
She gave her a blank look, "Can't you just listen to me?" I gave it to the daughter of the nurse, who was two months older than me, and was born beautifully. ”
"I see." Su Yan glanced at Yunshui Pavilion, "It's so fragrant." ”
As soon as you enter the door, you can smell the charming fragrance of the pavilion.
There are all kinds of rouge gouache.
Seeing that it was a richly dressed woman, the shopkeeper must be a big customer, and he was busy greeting him, "This girl, Yunshui Pavilion has just bought a new batch of rouge, but they are all made of good red and blue flowers, you definitely like it, do you want to take a look?" ”
"Okay." Shangguan Jingyu pursed his lips and chuckled.
"The shopkeeper's ability to turn the rudder with the wind is really amazing, and he dares to look down on me. Hmph, I don't think you should do this Yunshui Pavilion business at all? Suddenly a person came out of the inner hall.
Su Yan's eyebrows were shocked, and then his eyes were cold.
