Chapter Forty-Eight: The Guard and the Secret Letter
The prince of Ping Wang is still wearing armor, dark sleeves, carrying a long sword with cold light flashing, and his evil spirit has not retreated, with the early morning wind and dew and the evening blood, the long drive straight in, and the wind chimes and wind dew that greet the curtain bow their heads and dare not touch the edge.
"Why is the prince here?" Tang Hu stood up to greet him, and Tang Long also bowed.
Tang Yue stood up and looked at him, his lips pursed, but his eyes were puzzled. Bai Li glanced at Tang Yue deeply before he spoke: "Although King Li is dead, but the rebels have not been completely wiped out, I don't worry about you here." Hou Ye stayed in the East Palace a few days ago, and now there is no one available in this house, I have left two teams of people to protect you, don't go out until the matter is finished. Bai Li carefully advised.
Tang Yue nodded: "What about you, are the people around you enough?"
"That's enough, but you can't have an accident. He was worried that she would be targeted because of the marriage, "Yuanqing, you come up." A man in black sleeves stepped forward and saluted, Bai Li explained, "This is Yuan Qing, who has followed me for many years, and during this time, I asked him to bring another team of people to protect your courtyard." ”
Tang Yue thought thoughtfully, "In this case, Yang Liu, you go and arrange room and board, do I need to reduce the number of people in the courtyard a little? Why don't the two brothers live together?"
"It's better to clean up this yard, in case something happens, don't ask for merit, but don't hold back. Bai Li frowned, just now when he came in, all he saw was a weak willow supporting the wind, and he was so frightened by his murderous aura that he didn't dare to come out, and the four big girls around Tang Yue were slightly better, but it was still not enough, he was not at ease.
"Hmm. Tang Yue responded, "Have you ever had dinner after a busy night?"
"Not yet. ”
"Willow, pass the rice. Tang Yue smiled, "Then you should accompany me to eat, it just so happens that my two brothers and I don't have a meal." ”
Tang Hu Tang Long looked indifferent: What else can I say?
Feng Lu Feng Chime Feng Xia immediately cleaned up the table, put tea on the table, brought a vase, and Yang Liu soon came back to put porridge and pastries.
The three of them are in the filial piety period, so they don't eat meat, green vegetable dumplings, vegetarian buns, eight-treasure porridge, rouge radish, and vegetarian fried three silk is enough, but considering Bai Li's large consumption, Yang Liu prepared chicken porridge, meat dumplings, a stack of pickles, Longjing shrimp and bad duck tongue, and steamed tofu with ham.
"How many people did you bring this time?, do you still have porridge and rice in the kitchen?" asked Tang Yue.
"Back to the girl, the maids and daughters have not yet eaten, but there is still porridge and rice in the kitchen. ”
Bai Li knew her plan at this time: "Two teams, plus you, there are a total of forty people here." ”
"Yang Liu, wind chime, you take a hundred taels of silver and go to the kitchen together, let them follow the guard's diet first, prepare more pasta, if it is not enough, make it immediately, look at it, who dares to deduct more mouths and expel them from the house!" Tang Yue still spoke softly, but no one dared to think that her words were too much, and Yang Liu Fenglu immediately took the order and went.
"Thank you. Bai Li said to her with a smile.
"Nothing. Tang Yue smiled lightly, seeing that Tang Hu and Tang Long next to him looked unhappy, but Ye couldn't say anything, who sent people over on the front foot?
After eating, Tang Yue planned to go to the old lady in formal clothes to say goodbye.
The willow wind chimes groom for her, and the wind and summer are equipped with a pair of accessories, although she is young, but she is naturally surrounded by a kind of Qidu can suppress this gorgeous dress.
"Say hello to my ancestors. "Tang Hu and Tang Long naturally couldn't let Tang Yue go alone.
Tang's mother raised her eyelids and looked at Tang Yue, who was dressed in a formal suit, and was coldly shaken: "Why did you come here today? You still have filial piety, these false courtesies can be avoided." ”
Tang Yuewan'er: "It's the granddaughter who wants to come to rub the blessing of the ancestor!" Tang's mother is Tang Zhen, Xia Qiwen and Tang Zhu, Tang Yue found her seat and sat down, "But the granddaughter does have one thing to please the ancestor here." The old ancestor crossed the bridge more than the granddaughter ate, if she can get the guidance of the old ancestor, the granddaughter will really be a great blessing!"
Tang Hu had to admire his sister-in-law's ability to open her eyes and talk nonsense, and Tang Long on the side was not to be outdone, and stepped forward to coquettishly, "Ancestor, you don't know, the prince of Ping Wang came early this morning, and my grandson heard that last night the prince of Ping asked people to guard our street for one night!
Tang's mother deserved to be an old fox, and her heart trembled and she said steadily, "What happened last night?"
"Last night, King Li ...... It's forced to the palace. Tang Yue covered his mouth and whispered, not loud, but it could also ensure that Tang's mother could hear it clearly.
Tang Mu fell to the ground with the Buddha bead in her hand in an instant, picked it up, and hurriedly recited the sentence Amitabha Buddha Centering: "What do you think?"
How can you look at it? Tang Zhen smiled unabashedly, "What are you afraid of? Our family is not that uneducated, but who can still pass our family's guards?"
Tang's mother scolded the case, "What nonsense!" A pair of eyes looked at Tang Zhen with extremely sharp eyes, so that Tang Zhu didn't dare to speak, and felt that he couldn't get over his face, and said sharply, "Besides, isn't there still Rui Wangfu?"
"Rui Wangfu is still too busy to take care of himself, how can he manage the place where we can't hit the eight poles!" Tang Mu really hated that iron could not be made of steel, "You remember for me, before you pass the door, Rui Wang's Mansion is Rui Wang's Mansion! Our Tang Mansion is Tang Mansion! Don't lose the face of your ancestors!" Tang Yue acted as if he hadn't heard anything, and he didn't see Tang Zhen's face pale, once the matter involved the face of Tang Mansion, this old ancestor would be scolded by everyone!
"Ancestor, don't be angry, what should I do now? I want my grandmother to have an idea!" Tang Zhu has a rare IQ online to persuade him, of course, there is no shortage of ways to return the other, Tang Zhen has always liked to use this method to appear more atmospheric.
Tang's mother closed her eyes, she could still see the undulating chest, and only then did she slowly speak, "Cui Qiao, go and tell the second lady that in the future, the guards at home will be guarding all day, the three children will all move to the inner courtyard, the eldest and the second will live with Yue Yatou, and the third one will look at the arrangement herself, all the guards, one door outside, two doors outside, outside the inner courtyard door, and the inner courtyard will be arranged, and alcohol and licenses will be banned at home, whoever dares to violate the ban will be sold immediately!" Also, your aunt dares to wear red and green like this before the filial piety period has expired! Is it when your uncle dies? From this day on, the whole house will mourn!"
Tang Yue's heart was cold, if she hadn't worn the county lord's service today, I was afraid that there would be no latter sentence at all, and Tang's mother would really repay the favor. It's a pity, it's a pity, when her mother was mourning, there was no one from the second room of the Tang family to send it! The road sacrifice was set up by the Cui family, and there was also the Fuwang Mansion, the Lin family was set up by Sister Lin's sister, and there were other Cui family students in Beijing!
Tang Mansion, heh, this is a wolf's den!
"Mama Jiao, remember to knock on everyone in the yard, and the vigil will alert me, who dares to doze off the twenty boards!"
"Also, let people patrol outside the courtyard of the three girls. "The third girl is now the princess of King Ping, everyone knows that she is the princess of Ping, and she is the lord of the county, if something happens to this golden cinnamon, who can afford it? I heard that Bai Li Shizi came to see Tang Yue early this morning, and this guard also came to the Tang Mansion because of Tang Yue, which is enough to show Tang Yue's position in the heart of the prince!
"Grandmother, and the food and lodging of the guards. Tang Yue reminded.
"Rest assured, Mama Jiao is personally responsible, there is meat every day, and there are noodles for meals. Mama Jiao, you can get your heart. ”
"Yes. Mama Jiao bent down to receive the order.
Xia Qiwen felt that she seemed to be closer to Tang Yue, this was the future princess. Drink tea with a look on your eyes.
After they dispersed, Tang Hu and Tang Long went to pack up their things and brought the little scholar over, while Tang Yue went back to reprimand the maid and wife in the courtyard.
There was a tea table and wooden chairs under the corridor, Tang Yue sat down on the moon-gray square pillow on the pipa, and the willow wind and summer wind chimes beside him were lined up in turn, all with solemn faces, making people intuitively feel that things were not simple.
"I've always been a man who doesn't take care of things, but now it's not ordinary, and I have to ask you to come and listen to me. Tang Yue put the teacup and played with the sachet on her waist, she was still serving as a county lord, and she was extremely grand and majestic, "You also know that it's not very peaceful outside, I don't care what you think, now this matter can't be avoided, then you have to guard the courtyard gate for me, and don't let anyone in." ”
"I know you usually have people you have friends with, but it's best to cut off contact these days!" his eyes turned cold, and his voice was also filled with September frost and snow, "Who has done farm work before, and has a lot of strength in their hands?"
"Back to the girl, the slave has done farm work before, and his strength is not small. ”
"If you go back to the girl, so will I. ”
"Me too. ”
"In this case, the three of you are registered on the willow side, and in the future, you will guard the gate of this courtyard, staring at the people coming and going, and the other people, you look at the wind chimes, guard the door in a group of two, keep vigil in a group of four, and change the vigil in two hours, and the gatekeeper will be divided into three shifts. ”
"Yes. ”
"It's all in my heart, this matter is over, twenty taels of silver per person, but if someone violates the ban, eats wine, touches cards, and gambles for money," Tang Yue snorted coldly, "Hit thirty boards and sell them immediately!"
"The people in the small kitchen also prepared for me, in the future, the master will try to cook in the small kitchen, and the food should be taken to the big kitchen, and the wind chimes will be responsible, the wind chimes, in the future, you must take two cleaners to the big kitchen, if anyone stops you, kidnap someone to see the old lady!"
"Yes. ”
"Let's disperse. Tang Yue said lazily, and stopped the wind and reported Yun Qing to see him.
"Girl, this is given to you by the county lord of Dongyang. ”
"How did the county lord of Dongyang give it to me?How did it come from you?" quietly took the letterhead, it was indeed Dongyang's word, and the letterhead also had the incense powder she left for Dongyang, this was the agreement between the two, but where there is a letter, it must be sprinkled with Tang Yue's incense powder, sealed with wax, and the cinnabar dot secret pattern inside, if someone dissolves the wax to win the letter, it will inevitably destroy the cinnabar pattern!
"It was given to me by the prince of the world, and it was sent by the queen mother when the lord of Dongyang left. ”
"You go down first. ”
Tang Yue sent someone, opened the letter, and read it carefully, sure enough!
The crown princess is pregnant with a male fetus, and before the prince ascends the throne, there is a commotion in the backyard, and Dongyang has blocked the treacherous medicine several times! The biological mother of the prince's concubine does not seem to be clean, and the others are not at ease, it is worth mentioning that Concubine Shu and Concubine De actually invited themselves out of the palace to pray for blessings! Although Concubine Shu was locked up before, there was no conclusive evidence of the drunken gardenia incident, but it made people escape, and now that King Li rebelled against Concubine De, it will definitely not be better, and after all, the two of them will go out of the palace together? How does she feel that it is so wrong!
