Chapter 19: Return to the Palace
"Is there something wrong with my eldest brother looking for me?" Gong Xuanchi brought the topic back to the point.
Gong Jueyi picked up a letter from the table and handed it to Gong Xuanchi, this was sent by the emperor this morning to send someone to send it urgently, I have received two letters in the past two days, saying that I was in unbearable pain, and I felt that I couldn't survive it, and wanted us to go back to the palace soon.
Gong Xuanchi said with an indifferent face: "Big brother, it's not the first time that the Queen Mother has used this method."
Gong Jueyi knew what he was referring to, the last time the paddock was hunting, the queen mother said that she was seriously ill and couldn't go to the paddock, but she immediately asked to take Hua Concubine with her, Hua Concubine is the daughter of the Queen Mother's Murong family, and the Queen Mother and Gong Jueyi are not biological mothers and sons, the meaning of this is difficult to say.
Later, Hua Concubine rose day by day, and now she is Hua Fei, I don't know what the Queen Mother is trying to do.
Gong Jueyi and Gong Xuanchi both thought of the same idea, now that there is no owner in the middle palace, who doesn't want to sit in that position? It's just that this matter has nothing to do with Gong Xuanchi, Gong Xuanchi stood up and said to Gong Jueyi: "Big brother, you have known my lazy temperament since I was a child, and I don't want to go back to the palace so early, I haven't played enough, the fourth brother is a little tired, so I retired first."
Gong Jueyi didn't speak, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he walked to the desk and sat down, looking unpredictable.
At the end of September, the day was cloudless, the sun was very good, the pedestrians on the street were in a hurry, I hope to go faster, to be able to stay in the scorching sun for a while, but Suzaku Street is surrounded by a lot of people, it turns out that the Liang Mansion, which covers a very wide area in the city, ushered in its new owner.
Several carriages full of goods followed a blue-curtained carriage towards Suzaku Street, and slowly stopped in front of the big mansion in the middle of the street.
Er Ya stepped down from the carriage, and Lu Zhong was busy beckoning a few men to move the things in the carriage. Sanniu led Ling'er down the small ladder, Ling'er looked at the big house and was overjoyed, pulling Sanniu's sleeves and smiling.
Today, several girls are dressed in festive fashion, the third girl combs a double bun, with the pair of hairpins inlaid with white jade that the second girl bought for her, a pink jasmine Fusu blouse, and a goose yellow pleated plain skirt inside. Ling'er wore a rain-swept azure collared hundred butterfly play flower skirt, her hair was tied into two bunches on the left and right, with two pink embroidered headbands, and her chubby face smiled to reveal two small tiger teeth.
The three girls had a calm temperament and were not enthusiastic about anything, so they led the happy Ling'er into the house behind Lu Zhong. The crowd behind him was discussing, which lady is this, and she is so magnificent.
In order to move today, Er Ya spent a lot of money to buy these new things. The bedding, tea set, cutlery, and many other things were loaded into three carriages.
Er Ya entered the door, and saw that the old man who opened the door that day was still there, and the old man saw Er Ya looking over, stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Miss Lu, the old slave begs to stay and continue to watch the door."
Erya was puzzled, "Why didn't you follow?" ”
"Miss Lu, I'm old, I've been guarding the door here for most of my life, the master's family is going to go far this time, Qian Fu's legs and feet are not good, and it's not good to follow again, the master's family gave grace and returned the old slave's deed of sale, this is also accepted by Miss Lu!"
The old man trembled as he spoke, raised his hand, and presented a yellowed paper deed in his hand that looked very old to Erya.
"Hurry up, old man." Erya was at a loss, and she felt unbearable when such an old man knelt down for her.
"Ask Miss Lu to take it in!" After Qian Fu finished speaking, he kowtowed on the ground, and the second girl was anxious, and while holding Qian Fu, he said, "I promise you, get up and talk quickly."
It's not that Erya is ruthless, but she is worried that because of her kindness, she will leave a disaster, but this Qian Fu is already a lot old, and he seems to be an honest person, so it's okay to accept him, anyway, he has been guarding the door for so many years, and Erya also lacks a gatekeeper.
After the second girl agreed, she was busy going to see how the things were moving.
Er Ya turned around and just took two steps, but she heard a "bang", and when she turned around, she saw Qian Fu lying on the ground with both hands and kowtowing to her heavily.
At this moment, Er Ya couldn't help but be moved in her heart, and she was a little shocked in her heart. She walked back a few steps and pulled Qian Fu up, "What are you doing, you are old, I still want you to help me watch the gate for a few more years, what if you break your head?" ”
Qian Fu listened to Erya's reproach, wiped away the tears on his face and smiled: "How can the old slave be so squeamish, he has done rough work all his life, and he is strong."
Qian Fu handed the yellowed deed of sale to Erya again, and Erya pushed it back with a smile, "Grandpa Fu, you are also old now, and you will work here in the future, but you are not a slave." ”
Qian Fu understood, when he heard the title of Erya again, he couldn't help but wipe away his tears again, he thought that he would be kicked out today, but he didn't expect that this new master was so kind-hearted and so kind to him. Seeing that Erya was walking away, Qian Fu looked at the deed of sale in his hand, and laughed with a crying voice.
On the restaurant opposite the right side of the Lu Mansion, the boy in Xuanyi shook his fan and looked at the window, the ice basin in the private room was busy melting, and the son looked at the scenery downstairs and laughed loudly: "This girl is interesting, but I don't know if I can deal with that old woman."
"Master, isn't that the thunder around the fourth prince?" As soon as the sound of the storm fell, Gong Jueyi's eyes fell on a man dressed in ordinary cloth in the crowd, Gong Jueyi's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and the folding fan was put away with a "snap".
It seems that he is wrong again, someone wants to catch the old man, but the hunter who has been hunting has been pecked by the goose and injured his eye! The man turned around and walked out of the restaurant, drowning? In the crowd.
"Lord, lord, lord......" When the thunderbolt came back, he saw Gong Xuanchi leaning against the window, his long legs slightly bent, holding the wine jar in his hand, looking out of his mind, and couldn't help but remind him loudly.
Outside the window, the bright river was rushing, the man's face was picturesque, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he was instantly awake when he heard the sound, how could he think about that girl again, he knew that he was in love and did not live long, he originally wanted to be a cool person in this life, but he was always attracted by that girl, and he couldn't help but want to put her under his wings.
"My subordinates went down to see it, it's lively today, Miss Lu is so happy that she can't close her mouth!" Thunder said with a serious face.
Hearing this, the corners of Gong Xuanchi's mouth couldn't help but rise, but at this time, he heard a voice sound outside the door.
"Fourth son, our son-in-law is here." It was the sound of the wind, Gong Xuanchi straightened his face, nodded and signaled to open the door.
"What is the fourth brother busy with, closing the door in the daytime." The door opened, Gong Jue strode in, Gong Xuanchi keenly felt the anger on this person, and was full of surprise, why did this gentle and elegant eldest brother look like Shura today?
"The eldest brother is smiling, the fourth brother has always been like this, he doesn't like to be too lively, and he is comfortable staying alone."
"The fourth brother is wrong, you are now twenty-two, and you have reached the age when you should start a family, I am thinking that I will give you a good family affair when I return to the palace."
Gong Xuanchi's eyelids were slightly raised, "The eldest brother has not yet married, how can the fourth brother get married." ”
That's right, as an emperor, except for the queen, everyone else is a concubine, even if she is an extremely imperial concubine, she is always a concubine!
Gong Jueyi laughed a few times, "The fourth brother is right, the eldest brother should naturally get married earlier than you, so I am indeed ready to get married." ”
As soon as Gong Jueyi's words were finished, Gong Xuanchi knew that it was not good, and sure enough, he heard Gong Jueyi say word by word: "I am ready to marry Lu Mingfeng as his wife!"
"Big brother, you are the monarch of the Great Calendar, how can you take a commoner as your wife, the queen is the mother of the past, and I hope the emperor will think deeply!" From "big brother" to "emperor", the change of Gong Xuanchi's title made Gong Jue's eyes cold, is he reminding himself to let him remember that he is still the king of a country?
Gong Jueyi's expression softened, and he didn't see his previous sharp look anymore, looking at Gong Xuanchi and smiling: "Why is the fourth brother so nervous, don't worry, listen to me." Gong Jueyi took a sip of the tea handed by the frightened wind, "Naturally, I won't marry Lu Mingfeng back like this, I will take her back to the palace, and when she can adapt to life in the palace, I will marry her again." ”
"Just enter the palace as a commoner?" Gong Xuanchi asked rhetorically.
"Naturally not, General Nalan has not been childless for many years, and now he is over half a hundred years old, and it is also his blessing to have a daughter."
Gong Xuanchi understood, Gong Jueyi had arranged everything, and he was serious about taking that girl back to the palace!
Thinking that the girl would have to face other men day and night, tender and sweet, or one day become the appearance of those resentful women in the palace, Gong Xuanchi felt that his heart was as unbearable as a knife cut when he thought about it.
