Chapter 4: Night Detective

The night was low, and the hussar general's mansion in the west mansion was all lit up, and all the courtyards were bolted, and the surrounding markets were quiet. It's just that a group of people carried silk lanterns all the way out of the main courtyard of Xifu, and ordered people to open the door of the courtyard through the hall and go towards the covered bridge connecting the east and west.

In Songshou Courtyard, Mrs. Gu finished reading the last "Induction Sutra" on the futon, slowly put down the scriptures in her hand, and put the Buddha beads on her wrist, so that Mama Qu helped herself up, sat down on the table and ate a mouthful of tea soup with the handmaid's hand, and then said slowly: "She took someone to Dongfu?" ”

Mama Qu nodded and said in a low voice: "No, I hurriedly let people open the side door and went to Dongfu with a lot of things." ”

Old Madam Gu sighed: "Presumably Mingzhu caused something again, she is in a hurry to go over and take care of her, it's really a day of worry." ”

Mama Qu carefully took the tea bowl she had eaten, and said, "I heard that the eldest lady is not in good health, and today she also asked people to go back to the palace to teach the history of women, and she didn't even follow the rules." Thinking that the lady was worried about the body of the eldest lady, she hurriedly asked someone to bring medicinal herbs over. She paused as she spoke, and then said, "I heard that Madame brought the pair of He Shou Wu that the old lady gave me some time ago, and I must be uneasy. ”

Old Madam Gu was a little surprised: "I haven't even seen the history of teaching women, could it be that she is really sick?" Gu Mingzhu's heart is high, and he is looking forward to winning the queen's blue eyes at the Qujiang banquet, so he is very concerned about following the rules of the palace to teach female historians, and he will not push it off easily.

Mama Qu looked at Old Madam Gu and said softly, "Old Madam, do you want to go over and take a look?" "After all, she is the eldest lady, the only bloodline of the eldest princess of Xuanyang, and her identity is more valuable than that of the general.

Old Madam Gu frowned: "Since the Luo family has gone, she will definitely take good care of her, and there is no need to stir up the people." She said and sighed: "I can't complain about my partiality, Mingzhu's temperament over the years is too arrogant, the eldest princess is too early, and Mingzhu's temperament is half like her grandfather and aunt, and she doesn't have the appearance of a lady from a noble mansion at all, and she really loses the face of our general's mansion." ”

She sighed heavily as she spoke: "She has no mother over the years, and she has such an identity, everyone in the house respects her and lets her, and Luo Shi is even more attentive to her, and she is more attentive to Mingyue and Mingyu, but whatever she wants is not sent to her, even I feel that it is rare in my eyes, but she ...... "The eldest lady of the Hussar General's Mansion has become a well-known brutal and willful person in Chang'an City."

Seeing that Old Madam Gu was angry, Mama Qu hurriedly persuaded: "The old lady is angry, the eldest lady is still young, and she wants to be able to teach her well." ”

Old Madam Gu sneered: "If she can teach her well, why should I have such a headache." is a lady in the house, Mingyue has known books and etiquette since she was a child, and she is even more tolerant of her sister, and everything is thoughtful for her, where can she be as good as Mingyue. ”

Qu Mama said softly: "The virtuous name of the second lady is also known to everyone in Chang'an City, two days ago the palace handed over the news, saying that when the queen of heaven talked about the Qujiang banquet, she also asked if our second lady would go." ”

Hearing the news, Old Madam Gu's frowning brows stretched slightly, and a smile appeared on her face: "It seems that the Luo family still has a way, it must be that Zheng Nushi has put his mind to let the queen of heaven also know Mingyue's good reputation, so this time the Qujiang banquet is very certain." ”

Mama Qu also smiled: "I will definitely be able to get my wish, our General's Mansion is the most important thing for Emperor Taizong, otherwise I would not have given the eldest princess to marry the general." ”

Old Madam Gu bowed her head: "If you can get married this time, you should ask the Luo clan to be given a decree, otherwise how can Mingyue's identity be worthy of the position of a nobleman." ”

Mama Qu looked at the old lady for a long time before she lowered her voice and said, "The old lady still likes that one?" Now the holy will of the saint and the queen of heaven is still unknown, and I don't know ......"

Old Madam Gu smiled slightly and said, "Let's take a look." ”

The door of the East Mansion was closed, and Luo asked people to knock on the door for a while before someone opened it and poked his head out to look: "What kind of person, still come to call the door so late, don't you know what place this is?" ”

Luo's personal maidservant Ah Yun hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Madame came to see the eldest lady, why don't you go to Tongyu soon." ”

The maid of the East Mansion didn't let Luo in, but she bent her knees: "There is Mrs. Lao waiting, and the maid will go in and pass it on." ”

Luo Che was not annoyed, smiled and nodded, "Go ahead." She raised her head slightly, looked at the red gold plaque, and retracted her gaze for a long time, with a faint smile on her face, she knew that this was not Xifu, even though she was the general's wife, she was never the mistress of this mansion, she had to follow the rules when she came here, and waited in peace.

After waiting in front of the East Mansion for a while, the maid came out and invited Luo Shi in: "The eldest lady is already ready to rest, I heard that Mrs. is coming, so I let people clean up, please Mrs. go in, and I also asked, saying that Mrs. is in such a hurry to come over, is there something wrong in Xifu?" His eyes glanced at the medicinal herbs held by the maidservant behind Luo, as if he had not seen them.

Luo Shi smiled a little uncomfortably, didn't speak, just followed the maidservant girl step by step into the mansion of the eldest princess of Xuanyang.
