Chapter 83: The Strange Palace, Swallowed the Master and the Coachman Together
In the second watch of the night, the alley of Beijing South Street, the back house of Dongfu.
Even the old lady couldn't sit still, so she sat back down for a while, and then stood up again and walked around the house.
"What's the matter, why haven't you come back, even if you're too busy to come back, you should bring a message back." The old lady said irritably, "As soon as the Taishi left, the old man remembered that the Yuzhang Mansion is now a chaotic place where no one is in charge, and one bad thing is that Xiucai meets soldiers, and it is unreasonable." β
Song hurriedly asked, "Why do you say that?" β
The old lady told her: "There is no adult in charge, and a group of children have tossed the palace to the skyβthis is what Mrs. Yihou mentioned to me last time." β
"Oh?"
"After the death of the first princess, the old prince embraced Taoism and went to the south to burn Dan and smelt mercury. Today's princess is the original partner of the old prince, she was stubborn when she was young, and she was sent back to her parents' house in her early years. When the old prince is gone, the eldest prince is less than ten years old, and the younger siblings are still breastfeeding, maybe seeing that the house is really not the same, he will take her back and let her take charge. But in the past two years, her health has not been as good as before, and she can't do anything. β
"Then who did our master go to?" Song asked worriedly.
The old lady shook her head: "I heard that the son of the world did not follow etiquette and was used to acting arbitrarily, and he raised hundreds of Jianghu guests in the mansion, and ate and lived in his house all year round. It's probably these people in the house who call the shots, and the old man is worried that the Taishi is too poor to deal with these people, or he won't turn around at this time! β
At this time, the bead curtain moved, and a beautiful and vulgar girl stepped out, her steps were light, and the clouds were light, which formed a contrast with the gloomy clouds and faint condensation of everyone in the hall, it was Dong Qianmo who made a pot of jasmine tea from the pantry.
Dong Qianmo smiled lightly on his lips, made golden soup with his jade hands, and offered a cup of fragrant tea to the old lady.
The old lady bowed her head to drink tea, and the dispute between wives and concubines in this family began to be staged again.
Aunt Tang cried again: "I'm really confused, I didn't ask anything clearly, so I sent my daughter to the place where you eat people and don't spit out bones, woo, poor Pei'er, I don't know how much she suffered......"
Song smiled and comforted: "Auntie, don't think nonsense, how can the palace be disrespectful to the princess who has not passed the door when the princess enters the palace?" β
"Really?" Aunt Tang looked up with tears in her eyes.
"Of course," Song nodded, "Even if the prince dies, those unreasonable people still have to hold her, then her identity is also the widow of the prince!" β
"Widow?" Aunt Tang's eyes widened in panic, "My Pei'er is not married yet......"
Song interrupted her, and tortured her with cruel words in a happy mood, "Even if there are more men and fewer women inside and outside the palace, even if those rough village husbands, gangsters, Jiangyang thieves, and green forests and grass cowards, it is rare to meet even a beautiful woman in addition to the maids in the palace, even if the prince has passed away for a long time, he can't see anything and can't care about it, and those people will never covet the beauty of the mistress!" β
Aunt Tang was really scared to cry this time, and at the same time she realized that the Song family was gloating at all, and she didn't even bother to hide it.
Aunt Tang didn't care about the difference between dignity and inferiority, so she went up and pulled the Song family and shouted: "You return my daughter!" You are the one who harmed my daughter! β
The wound on Song's arm was torn and painful, and she screamed loudly, and the loyal protector of the lord Mama Ju rushed in from outside the house, pushed Aunt Tang away, and said viciously: "Okay! Just with this crime you have committed below, you can ask the family law to deal with you! β
Song Shi was also annoyed: "Even if you rely on the people in the whole mansion, you can't rely on me a little, I haven't intervened in this matter from beginning to end!" I have already said that our family and Yuzhang Wangfu did not have any etiquette exchanges under the New Year's Festival in the past, this white-eyed and red-eyed, said that you can be a parent? There is no such cheap thing in the world! β
The crazy Aunt Tang reached out and grabbed the Song family under the barrier of Mama Ju again, and shouted: "If you hadn't dominated the family affairs of Yuwangfu, Xian Pei would have married a long time ago, and she would not have fallen into this step of the field today!" β
Song's wound was scratched in pain, and the snow-white gauze was bleeding.
Mama Ju on the side was shocked, and pushed Aunt Tang to the ground with a heavy push.
Aunt Tang held her stomach and screamed twice.
Song laughed angrily, and said very chokedly: "You say this once in front of King Yu!" You mentioned it, he wants to admit it, I asked Xuanying not to even say a word to her cousin from now on! β
The old lady was mad, slapped the teacup, and called Mama Li and other old slaves and maids to carry Aunt Tang away.
The old lady glared at the Song family and said angrily: "Third daughter-in-law, are you going to rebel against the sky!" Don't you have me in your eyes at all! β
Song hugged his injured arm, lowered his eyebrows and said: "The daughter-in-law doesn't dare, and the daughter-in-law also saw that the master didn't come back at this time, so she was anxious and chaotic, and even talked nonsense on her lips." The daughter-in-law can't control her own mouth. β
The old lady sighed and said, "How long will you hang like this!" Why don't you let a few stewards go over there and ask? β
Dong Qianmo said: "The granddaughter thinks it's inappropriate, if the other party really has bad intentions, let's send a few housekeepers to no avail, we can't rescue my father, but startle the snake." β
Song thought for a while and proposed: "Let the eldest master Dong take the master's name card when he asks, and ask again?" β
Dong Qianmo vetoed again: "The eldest uncle is more drunk than when he is sober, in case he goes to other people's doors, he is also very poetic, and he reads some inappropriate festive verses, wouldn't it be a meat bun beating a dog and a return?" β
The old lady and the Song family felt that this was not unreasonable, and they couldn't help but make it difficult, and they waited and waited in a panic, so they asked people to look for it, but they couldn't even pick a suitable candidate.
The old lady sighed: "Usually there are few men in the family, and I think that girls are good and caring, but now that something has happened, I feel more and more that our family does not even have a strong and solid man." In case the third child is really unfortunate to die at the hands of the gangsters, how can we be left with orphans and widows! β
Dong Qianmo persuaded softly: "Don't worry, grandmother, my father can't move freely at most, how can he let people kill him, he is a master, a cabinet minister, those people don't dare!" But when my grandmother mentioned the big man, I thought of two people. β
"Who?" The old lady and the Song family asked in unison.
"I've seen it at noon today," Dong Qianmo flickered his slender eyelashes, "One is the King of Zaojun who is hiding in the wall of our house and eavesdropping, he is strong enough; There is also the strange man who was called out by his father, wearing a black cloak, looking a little scared, as if his name was Dong Wang. Grandmother, do you know what that guy does? β
The old lady shook her head: "Dong Forget this person is not often in the Dong Mansion, the old man has almost never seen him, and he may be your father's new guest in the past two years." β
Dong Qianmo said: "I guess it's not that he is not often in the house, but that he is hiding somewhere, and no one finds out." Because his father called him out, it can be seen that people have not gone far, why don't we call this person too? β
Song raised his eyebrows: "What do you want him to do?" Maybe he went out with the master. β
Dong Qianmo said: "After all, the king of Zaojun is a royal son of the lord, he can speak better than us, and he owes our Dong family an explanation, so it is better to use this in exchange and let him run the palace for us." β
The old lady's face was happy, and she even said that she was reasonable.
Song was not convinced, and stopped: "That young man is uneducated, he is a slippery person, and he has a holiday with our family!" The old man didn't say a word during the day to detain him, and wanted his mother to pick him up, he didn't hold a deep grudge, how could he be willing to help us so much? β
Dong Qianmo said: "The king of Zaojun is not so much a slippery head as a straw bag, and he is naturally warm-hearted, where he is lively, he will make up." Besides, let's make an agreement with him, he is willing to run this trip on his behalf, and the eavesdropping will be written off, how can he not agree. Besides, let that black cloak Dong forget to go with him, and he is not afraid that he will run away halfway, and besides, ......"
"Okay! Needless to say! β
The more the old lady listened, the more reasonable she became, and immediately summoned Mama Li and asked her to go to the outer courtyard to ask where this Dong forgot to live and where the king of Zaojun was imprisoned.
Mama Li went back and forth, the night was nearly three watches, the old lady looked tired, and Dong Qianmo gave her another cup of tea to relieve her fatigue.
The old lady looked at her four granddaughters approvingly, and felt that it was really a tribulation to see the truth, and the fire was refining the true scriptures.
I usually look at the four girls in the family, the second granddaughter is the most handsome, the third granddaughter is the most delicate, and her old people also love them more. I didn't expect that when something big happened in the family, I followed up, and the most insightful was the fourth granddaughter who had never hurt before!
"Good boy, sit down too." The old lady pulled Dong Qianmo's hand, "Look at this cold hand!" Today you are much more sensible than your aunts and sisters, unlike them, who do not look like adults. β
When he said this to the Song family, the Song family was not angry in his heart, but he smiled and said: "Yes, I said it a long time ago, the eighteenth year of the female college has changed, and Qian Mo has also become a little adult, and she married the Shi family to manage the accounts, and the custody is shrewd and clear, and her sister envies her!" β
Dong Qianmo also smiled shyly: "I don't dare to make the second sister envious, her piano is getting better and better, and she will enter the palace in the coming day to treat the queen mother with the qin song, the queen mother is comfortable, the emperor is happy, and you don't give the second sister a good kiss?" At that time, none of us would dare to compare with the second sister. β
During the conversation, Mama Li came back, shook her head and said: "No, I asked all the stewards who were in charge of the courtyard inside and outside, and no one knew about this Dong Wang, and no one had even heard of this name!" No one knows where the King of Zao is either. β
The old lady was worried: "What can I do about this?" β
Mama Li said again: "However, the carriage that sent the master to the palace is back......"
"Back?!" The old lady and the Song family were surprised.
Mama Li nodded: "Steward Zhou said that only the carriage and the horse came back, but the carriage was empty, not only was there no master, but even the coachman was nowhere to be seen." β
"How is this possible?"
"It's true, a few boys on the door saw four horses pulling the cart back, and heard the sound of waving the horsewhip in the distance, but when the carriage ran from the street to the front of our house, the boys went up to take a look, and it was an empty car inside and out, and they all said that it was a hell of a life!"
As soon as the teacup in the old lady's hand was loosened, she felt that the whole person was not good.
There was too much stimulation today, and a horror popped up in a while, more than she had heard in the past few years, and she felt that she couldn't bear it.
At this time, even the Song family panicked, stood up hesitantly, and walked back and forth twice.
At this time, Dong Qianmo thought for a while, turned around and stepped out of the threshold of the flower hall, raised his head and inhaled, and shouted three times to the sky: "Dong forget!" Dong forget! Dong forget! β
No one showed up.
Mama Li chased out in small steps and said, "Maybe you went to the palace with the master, right?" β
Dong Qianmo shook his head: "That person is weird and evil, how can he take it out to decorate the faΓ§ade?" I'd rather take you out than he can see people. β
Then she shouted three more times: "Dong forget! Dong forget! Dong forget! β
This time, the black cloak that was weird, evil, and completely unsightly in her mouth really appeared in front of Dong Qianmo and Mama Li, tall as a pine and as treacherous as a mountain.
It came too suddenly, as silent as a ghost, Mama Li was frightened, and ran into the house with an "ah" voice.
Dong Qianmo looked up for a while before asking him: "It seems that you seem to have practiced martial arts, do you have the ability to go to Yuzhang Palace?" β
