Chapter 232: Giving it a peach, repaying it with a plum
The rain was getting louder outside. Although there is also a pond full of residual lotus in the mirror garden, you can leave the residual lotus to listen to the sound of rain, but the inverted seat hall here is still far away from the lotus pond after all, and neither of the two people in the room is so interested. Compared with Luo Xu, who sat without moving for a long time, Chen Yan was much more frizzy, and he didn't know how many laps he paced back and forth, and in the end he couldn't help but walk straight to Luo Xu, and suddenly put his hands on the armrests.
"Senior Brother Luo."
"Huh?"
Luo Xu's heart was far from being as calm as it seemed on the surface. He used to be an unemployed man, although he had the name of a son, but he had never entered the palace and seen his aunt Luo Guifei for many years. When I was a child, my impression of my aunt was already very weak, and almost everything was told to her by her mother, Mrs. Lin, after she occasionally entered the palace. And even the mother, only after the aunt was promoted to the concubine, was able to pass through the palace often, and in the past there was only one visit per quarter. Therefore, although he has now found out the matter and his father has also gone to school, his mother has reacted so much after she has a body this time that she can't even enter the palace, and he really doesn't know what his aunt will do again.
Therefore, sitting here at this moment, he was almost full of these worst assumptions, and the remaining spare time was also the tacit understanding between Chen Lan and Yang Jinzhou, and he didn't pay attention to Chen Yan's actions at all. When he came to his senses, he saw that the little guy was staring at him without blinking, so he pretended to be relaxed and quipped: "What, waiting for your sister and brother-in-law to wait impatiently?" ”
"Senior brother, what you just said...... If the concubine does that, she won't let the emperor annoy her, right? Can't you let your aunt persuade her? ”
Luo Xu didn't expect Chen Yan to go straight to this most important question with one mouth, and he couldn't help but laugh when he called Mrs. Lin his aunt familiarly. Signaling Chen Yan to move away, he stood up, and immediately patted the little guy's head dotingly, then shook his head and said: "The emperor said that he was sick, and now there are only a few people who can see him, and he can't hear any news." My mother has been sick to my stomach these days, and I can't go out at all, and the concubine is not something I can see, so I really can't find any way to do it...... I know the pain of losing a child is unbearable, but I'm really worried that she will be deceived and put herself in......"
As he spoke, Luo Xu realized that he had unconsciously confided out the words that he had hidden in front of those fox friends and dog friends, so he hurriedly coughed lightly and covered it up: "Okay, little brother Chen, don't worry about this, I'm just talking, there is always a way......
"But this time you found out, what if the next time it was more serious?"
Choked by Chen Yan's unusually serious words, Luo Xu was suddenly speechless. At this moment, he heard another voice in his ear: "What Xiao Si said is also what I want to say." Luo Shizi, from before to now, you have helped my sister and brother a lot, and this time you don't have to pierce these things, just push the matter onto others. But now that you have said it so clearly, I also want to ask on my behalf, is there really nothing to do about the concubine's side? ”
Luo Xu and Chen Yan turned their heads to look, only to see Chen Lan and Yang Jinzhou enter the door one after another. Due to the heavy rain outside, half of Yang Jinzhou's body was wet, while Chen Lan only had a slight trace of water on his left shoulder, but he didn't see the oil-paper umbrella. Seeing Chen Yan hurriedly walking forward, Luo Xu's eyes flashed, and then he smiled as if nothing happened.
"There is no way, but it may not be...... If you want to say it, I'm not afraid of your jokes, it's about that my sister-in-law has always been incompatible with each other, although my mother often enters the palace to visit the concubine Niangniang, but if you want to say that you are close, it can't match the childhood relationship between the concubine Niangniang and Luo Shuren. My mother is not happy every time she comes back from the palace, and occasionally she also talks about the concubine Niangniang often thinking about Luo Shuren. Only Luo Shuren is not the main room after all, and after coming back, the Communist Party of China has seen it once on the Qianqiu Festival of the Pioneer Queen, so the concubine Niangniang often chatters, but it is difficult to send letters and things when you meet, and the concubine Niangniang regrets it deeply. ”
Luo Xu didn't have any feelings for Aunt Luo, so he was stingy even with his aunt, knowing that Chen Lan and the third uncle Chen Ying were almost incompatible, so he made this stubble clear, and he didn't take it to heart, and he didn't even ask what Eunuch Xia said just now, but said casually: "Third Miss and Brother Yang want to escort Grandpa Xia into the palace?" If so, I can go with me, and then I will be able to say goodbye. ”
After hearing what she said just now, Chen Lan had been looking down and thinking about it, and at this time, she finally raised her head, but she said unexpectedly: "Luo Shizi, listening to you say this, the matter of the concubine is not out of the question. My fifth sister looks lonely and cold, but she is a kind person and has always gotten along with me. I took the opportunity to tell the fifth sister about it, maybe I could let her persuade Aunt Luo, and then Aunt Luo would come forward to persuade the concubine. As for entering the palace, the emperor understands the loss of the concubine's son, and if someone turns around, he should make an exception and agree. Only you are in a vast diplomatic tour, do you know which family has a good character and the right family? The third uncle in the family has been looking for a match for the fifth sister, but there has been no result so far, and the third uncle has a stiff relationship with Aunt Luo. Sister, I don't want to see what she trusts. And with this reason, Aunt Luo passed the hurdle well. If there is another letter from you, it will be more credible. After all, the Luo family is the foundation of Aunt Luo, and she will never forget this. ”
Chen Yan next to him was already stunned. In addition to his initial shock, Yang Jinzhou couldn't help but stare at Chen Lan for a moment, and his cold face showed undisguised approval. And Luo Xu went from disbelief to sincere admiration, and finally couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Third Miss, are you really ...... The plan of killing two birds with one stone is to think of everything. My cousin has a sister like you, which is enough to rest assured. In this way, now solve the matter of Father-in-law Xia first, as for the stubble you said, I will go to investigate it as soon as possible, and let Brother Chen tell you when I have eyebrows. It's not early, let's go. ”
The Imperial City of Xi'an Gate.
Xi'an Gate three thresholds and three gates, heavy ridge cornices, vermilion wall yellow tile, a door is the key library orchard factory salary division and so on the official yamen, in the inside is the West Garden, far away from the palace city, so in the imperial city of the east and west north of the three gates, this road is the most in and out of the people, the big eunuchs do not need to mention, the small fire out of the palace is mostly to take this road, the guard is slightly looser.
At this time, the rain was very heavy, and a group of people were busy putting on their clothes, so when the three carriages stopped in front of the door, the eunuch Xia on the first car in front of the head opened the oilcloth curtain, and several forbidden soldiers who guarded the door immediately greeted them with a smile on their faces, only when they heard that there was also the county lord of Haining, and they were going to Xiyuan to see the county lord of Yixing, they looked at each other and showed an embarrassed expression.
"Father-in-law Xia, it's not that you are humble and unwilling to be accommodating...... Really, there was a strict order in it......"
"Nonsense, it's not like you're going to let you go now, go to the Yichun Pavilion in Xiyuan to report to the county lord of Yixing" After all, the injury on Eunuch Xia's body is not healed, and the carriage is bumpy, and the knife edge is inevitably hot and painful, seeing that a few people are still a little hesitant, he scolded angrily, "People have to call the county lord of Yixing a mother, delay and be careful to eat and chop."
As soon as he said this, the forbidden soldiers did not dare to slack off, and finally someone hurriedly went in to report. And seeing that Eunuch Xia actually stopped next to him, as if he was going to personally escort him in, the general flag who had just spoken had to come up to talk, and suddenly asked about Xiaoluzi as he spoke. Originally, Eunuch Xia, who had no match, changed his color when he heard this, and immediately slammed the curtain hard.
"Don't mention it, that kid doesn't know where to die."
After eating a boring general flag, he immediately sneered, and retreated to the side before complaining and muttering a few words in a low voice. I don't know how long I waited, but someone finally came out of the palace, but it was not the forbidden army just now, but a group of small firefighters carrying stools and pestles, wearing oilcloth raincoats, and someone in the center with a big crank umbrella. The general flag looked at it and recognized it as the celebrant and eunuch Qu Yong, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
When the group checked the ebony signs, carried the stool out of the Xi'an Gate, and went straight to the three carriages here. The little flame man at the front squeaked softly, and the four young eunuchs carrying the stools immediately stopped, and then put down the poles steadily. Qu Yong got down from above, patted the rain on the tarpaulin raincoat, looked at the exit of the car with the curtain hanging low, and shouted, "Old Xia." ”
The next moment, the checkered curtain was suddenly raised high by a hand. Eunuch Xia, who poked his head out, saw Qu Yong's expressionless face outside, and immediately raised his eyebrows angrily: "Our family is just helping people to see the county lord of Yixing, so we won't provoke you, right?" If you want to do something, go quickly, our family is unlucky today, and I don't have time to grind my teeth with you."
"It's better to have bad luck for a while than bad luck for a lifetime." Qu Yong grinned and showed a rare smile, and then nodded in greeting, "The county lord just came back from the Qianqing Palace before, and someone will probably come out in a while." It's just that she is not in a good mood, so you should be careful when dealing with it. ”
"Well, I don't know any of that...... Walking."
Eunuch Xia leaned out a little more, and saw that there was already a black oil car coming over there, and after Qu Yong nodded in greeting, he walked straight over with a little eunuch holding an umbrella on his side, he sighed softly, and then retracted into the car. However, when he sat back in his seat, he found that Yang Jinzhou was pulling the curtain open a crack, staring at Qu Yong's direction and looking at something.
"Don't look, that guy is the No. 1 weirdo in Tianzi, it's not like you haven't seen him, you've dealt with him a lot, and sooner or later you'll have to get caught in his weird habits...... People are a little weird, but their hearts are still good, and they are rare in the palace......"
In the second car, Chen Lan also lowered the curtains, gently dusted off the rain and mist that drifted into the carriage, and instructed Chen Yan who insisted on coming along: "It should be almost over here, you go out quickly and go with your Senior Brother Luo in the back car." ”
"Sister, why don't I go with you? The county lord is also my master."
"Don't bargain" Chen Lan directly knocked his finger on the little guy's head, and said to Zheng's mother on the side, "Mother Lao followed the fourth brother back to see the old lady." ”
Mother Zheng hurriedly nodded and said, "Third Miss, don't worry." ”
In the third car, Luo Xu, who was sitting alone, was like a monk sitting in meditation, his eyes were closed and motionless, and the sound of rain outside was completely deaf. After countless chaotic thoughts, what came to his mind was that he had heard a long time ago, and Taizu Lin Changhui couldn't help but ask Chu Guogong again and again, and he was extremely helpless to give a couplet to an academy.
The sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of the ear. Family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, and everything is concerned - at the moment, the wind and rain are sounding, and there are family affairs and national affairs in front of you, and you can't let go of anything.
