Chapter 225: New Hatred and Old Hatred (Part II)
When Qiu Tan appeared in front of Wen Yi again, there was still a little embarrassment on his face, but he seemed to have a lot of confidence, and he was not as helpless as before. After only a while, there was such a change, did someone give her a trick, or did she figure out something?
Wen Yi was suspicious, and she made up her mind to ask the truth of the matter clearly, but instead of driving people out directly, she lightly invited her to sit down, and also told Dong Que to watch the tea.
The girl's mother-in-law was still guarding the door, and Mrs. Luo Si couldn't come back for a while. Through the window, Wen Yi could faintly see her sitting in the wing room diagonally opposite and talking to people. Tomhock served his tea, bowed his head and stepped away, walked to the door and stood still.
Qiu Tan was still a little calm, and got the latest instructions from the master, and was about to tell Wen Yi to understand it in one go, seeing her put on this posture, she was a little confused, and seeing that Wen Yi didn't speak for a long time, she took the first step and said: "The slave maid just said the wrong thing, Miss Jiu, don't worry, the slave maid will accompany you, please have a lot of adults, don't be like the slave maid." After that, he really got up and walked to Wen Yi and bowed his knees to make a palace salute.
Wen Yi was originally going to accept this ceremony, but when she saw that she was performing a palace ceremony, she didn't dare to take a big one, got up and took a step to the side, and said with a straight face: "The girl doesn't have to be like this, you are a noble person called by the palace, I don't dare to accept your gift, I don't have to lose my life." ”
Qiu Tan was halfway through the salute, and when he heard the words, he could only freeze there, and only straightened up after a while, his expression was a little at a loss, and he didn't even know how to swing his hands and feet, and said sneeringly: "Miss Nine...... lifted the slave and maid ......" but then opened his eyes wide, as if he had woken up: "The slave and maid did not intend to perform the palace ceremony...... It was...... I was used to it in the palace...... "my eyes were red, and I was so anxious that I was about to cry."
Wen Yi saw that Ma Wei had already given it, and she didn't say much, so she asked straight to the point: "The girl went and returned, but what advice do you have?" "Isn't it just for atonement?
When Qiu Tan heard this, he also straightened his face, and said carefully: "Slave maid...... The slave maid just said the wrong thing, which made Miss Nine misunderstand...... So I'm going to explain ......"
Wen Yi smiled reluctantly: "I don't know what the girl said wrong, why don't you tell me in detail?" ”
Qiu Tan's eyes rolled a few times, and he said more carefully: "Our prince is ...... There is absolutely no malice towards Miss Jiu It was because when you were on the Zhuangzi of the Cha family before, you sent medicine to treat injuries, and the prince was grateful...... And later, our prince was snub at the gate of Dongyang Hou Mansion, and Dongyang Hou Shizi personally apologized afterwards and gave us a lot of face, I heard that ...... It was also Miss Nine who made a statement to the crown princess...... Now that our prince is in the palace, he has been taken care of by the princess, and his life is much better, and the palace people below dare not be as lazy as before...... Our prince said that this is all thanks to Miss Nine, he has received your great favor, and he must find an opportunity to repay it well...... Therefore......" she blinked a few times and remembered the words later, "Therefore, our prince said, I don't know how to repay you, I heard that your family affairs are not very satisfactory, so I will care about one or two" After saying this, she lowered her head and thought about it, and felt that there was nothing wrong, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's a pity that Wen Yi had already learned what King Kang said that day from Dong Kui, and she had long been wary of him in her heart, how could she easily believe that he really just wanted to "repay his kindness"? pulled the corners of his mouth: "The prince is too worried, I am very good, and I don't want him to repay him." If I said that I had given medicine and made suggestions in the past, didn't the prince also send someone to remind me to be careful of other people's plots? And last time I was at the Luwangfu Flower Viewing Party, thanks to him, I returned the personal jewelry of my sixth sister and cut off future troubles. Before and after, where does the prince still owe me? Not to mention anything in return. The little girl doesn't have that blessing and can't afford it. ”
When Qiu Tan heard this, his expression became depressed again, and he twisted his fingers and whispered: "Our prince has always been a man with clear grievances...... If others treat him well, he will reciprocate very much...... Although Miss Nine said that there was no need, how could he let it go? Or...... Miss Nine said that she had any difficulties, and the prince might be able to help? ”
What is the difficulty? How can he help?
Wen Yi became more and more suspicious in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face: "No need, I am very good in everything, there is no difficulty, and I don't have to worry about the world." "He raised his eyes and stared at her," the girl thought...... What will I ask for my help? ”
Qiu Tan's eyes widened: "That...... The eldest son of the Liu family...... Isn't it time to go to war? Aren't you afraid that he's going to be a good guy? ”
Wen Yi said lightly: "A good man should serve the country, he has great ambitions, why should I stop him?" What's more, not everyone who goes to the battlefield will lose their lives, otherwise where did the generals of the Manchu Dynasty come from? ”
Qiu Tan was a little impatient: "Miss Nine doesn't know, Liu Gongzi was assigned to the Jingnan camp, where all the elite soldiers were selected from all over the country, and they were to be sent to Beiwangcheng, which was the place where the battle was most intense, and the most people died." I heard that in previous years, as long as the people of the Jingnan camp participated in the war, they had to die three adults, so they had never been sent there by the children of the eunuchs, even if the children of the generals wanted to go through the training, they also went to the Jingbei or Jingxi camps, which not only had the opportunity to go to the battlefield, but also not so dangerous, and they could be closer to the master, and it was easier to be appreciated by the superiors. Also, Liu Gongzi is from the rank of the fifth rank, and he usually wants to lead an army alone, but in the Jingnan camp, there are only 500 people under the jurisdiction of such a rank, and when he encounters a fierce barbarian, what can these 500 people do......"
Wen Yi grasped the flaw in her words: "How do you know this?" ”
Qiu Tan was interrupted by her, and couldn't help but suffocate when she heard the words: "That's ...... That's our son...... I inquired about ......"
Wen Yi sneered: "Liu Gongzi is just a new martial artist, and he was awarded the martial arts position from the fifth grade, how can He De enter the eyes of the prince of the world, and even know which camp he went to, and how many people under his jurisdiction can know?" If the prince has the heart to repay me, this is inevitably asking too carefully, right? "People say that King Kang's son is not welcomed in the palace, it is a matter of military aircraft, if he is a smart person, even if others talk about it, he should avoid it, but he not only inquired, but also inquired so carefully...... Who would believe that such a small person as Liu Dongxing could be so famous that he could casually ask people to inquire about so many things? She also sent someone to inquire, but she couldn't find so many details. She still knows two military generals, where did King Kang inquire from?
The fool believed that he did it to "repay" her
Qiu Tan stood there at a loss, as if he understood that he had said the wrong thing again, and was so anxious that he wanted to cry: "Lord Shizi...... Shi Ziye is just worried that Miss Nine will suffer in the future......"
Wen Yi was too lazy to talk to her, so she asked, "Brother Liu will be on the list, does it have anything to do with your family?" ”
Qiu Tan was dumbfounded: "No...... It's not ......" but his eyes are wandering.
Wen Yi took another step forward: "If it weren't for him, why would Brother Liu be sent to the Jingnan camp alone because of so many new martial arts warriors, who were neither from a general background nor have military qualifications?" Didn't you just say that there were elite soldiers from all over the world? If it weren't for your family's son, how could he have been sent to that place? After a pause, she smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "The girl doesn't have to coax me, I know it in my heart, in fact, I won't tell you, Brother Liu's family has already passed for him, and he said that he was going to be sent to the garrison outside Beijing, and even the location is there, not far from our hometown, just convenient for him to marry me, who knows that there is a sudden change, who would believe that there is no other reason in it?" She deliberately showed a somewhat sad look, but the corners of her eyes were fixed on Qiu Tan's expression.
Qiu Tan really showed a look of annoyance: "It turns out that Miss Nine already knows......"
Wen Yi was furious in her heart, clenched her fists tightly, and finally held back her breath, barely maintaining an indifferent expression: "Yes, so...... Tell me the truth, girl."
Qiu Tan's face was embarrassed, and he hesitated: "Miss Nine...... Our son didn't mean it...... He was just ...... I just felt that the son of the Liu family was not worthy of you, and later I learned that you didn't listen to his advice, and still decided to be married...... He was just sad, and he didn't have any other thoughts......"
I didn't think about anything else at the time, so what about later?
Dong Kui, who had been guarding the door, had already heard it at this time, and hurriedly rushed forward to ask: "He said that day, if our young lady still decided to be married, he would not say more, according to what you said, he really didn't want to embarrass our uncle?" And what's going on with the next order? ”
Dong Kui's words just asked Wen Yi's heart, so Wen Yi also stared at Qiu Tan to see what she said.
Qiu Tan glared at Dong Kui complainingly, and said: "Since our prince has spoken, he will definitely keep his promise He is just worried that Miss Nine will be wronged in the future, so he heard that Liu Gongzi was going to take the martial arts exam, so he specially asked the people below to find a way to inquire about Liu Gongzi's results, but I didn't expect it......" She lowered her head in frustration, "I didn't expect the prince to come in at that time......"
What about the prince coming in? Wen Yi became more and more vigilant, could it be that it was really for Du Yuanru's business, and the prince was dissatisfied in his heart, so he took this opportunity to take revenge on her? That's impossible
Dong Que was also a little anxious, and pushed Qiu Tan: "What if you say it quickly, the prince comes in?" Our young lady and aunt don't know the prince."
This time, Qiu Tan refused to make it clear no matter what, but he was struggling, and his eyes were wandering more and more. Seeing this, Wen Yi became more and more annoyed: "Could it be ...... The son of your family originally had no intention of embarrassing Brother Liu, but after the prince asked, he suddenly had an idea to push Brother Liu to the battlefield, right? ”
"No" Qiu Tan opened his mouth and closed it again, but just said vigorously, "Our prince is not a bad heart...... and said: "Liu Gongzi goes to war, it is not necessarily a bad thing...... He is an officer, not a soldier, and he does not need to rush to the front when facing the enemy...... When you make a contribution, you will have a bright future in the future. Our son...... Our prince was originally thinking about Miss Nine......"
Wen Yi clenched her fists under her sleeves, forcibly held back her anger, took a few deep breaths, and said lightly: "The girl is right, the great kindness of your family, I will never forget it in this life."
Qiu Tan was stunned, and saw that Dong Kui's face was full of hatred, why didn't he understand that he had messed up his errand again? This time she really cried: "Our prince really didn't mean it...... Miss Nine, don't get him wrong......"
Wen Yi was gentle and tight: "I know in my heart, the girl doesn't have to worry, I won't misunderstand him." "She knew in her heart that she was wrong, which would be?
Qiu Tan became more and more anxious, although she knew that she was not very clever, but she was not so stupid that she couldn't see Wen Yi's face, but she didn't know how to explain it, that matter, in the eyes of the prince, was certainly taken for granted, but now this ninth lady doesn't seem to be able to understand.
Now that Wen Yi has the truth, she has no time to deal with Qiu Tan anymore. She saw this girl a few times, and knew that the other party was not a scheming character, quite straightforward, and it was the prince of King Kang who caused the evil, and she was not confused enough to take an innocent maid out of anger, so she casually said a few polite words, and ordered Dong Lai to give Qiu Tan a reward, and she was going to invite her out.
Qiu Tan still had something to say, but unfortunately Mrs. Luo Si came back at this time, saying that the lady was going to invite her to fast, she didn't want to go, under the pretext that there was an urgent matter at home, but she couldn't go back to rest in Wude Niangniang's Nunnery. Wen Yi said: "It's nothing, I will have the opportunity to go again in the future, and my daughter also said that she wanted to go to see the Li family's sister, so it would be better to go to her house and have a meal." ”
Mrs. Luo Si agreed with a smile, and saw Qiu Tan standing on the side, a little curious: "Which girl is this?" ”
Qiu Tan bowed his head and stood aside, not knowing how to answer. Wen Yi covered up for her: "Her young lady was originally met twice by me in Luwang's Mansion before, and after a few words, I met them occasionally, so I said hello, and she was about to go back to her life at this time." Hollyho, you send her. ”
Qiu Tan had no choice but to leave, and Dong Lun kept sending her out of the country before turning back. Qiu Tan turned around and looked at Wen Yi a few times, with a little unwillingness on his face, and turned his head away.
After a while, she appeared on a carriage outside the Wude Gong Temple, and apologized to Zhu Jingshen, the son of King Kang: "It's all slaves and maids who are stupid and mess things up, so the prince can just punish me......"
Zhu Jingshen listened to her finish and was silent for a while before he sighed: "That's it, the matter has come to this, you don't have to blame yourself too much." ”
Qiu Tan couldn't help crying: "It's not like this, the prince obviously didn't mean it, if the son of the Liu family is a capable person and will make a contribution in the future, isn't Miss Nine more beautiful?" If he is incapable and dies on the battlefield, he will save Miss Nine from being involved. But why can't Miss Nine understand the painstaking efforts of the prince? The prince didn't know that the prince would come in at that time......"
"Don't say it again" Zhu Jingshen raised his voice slightly, but then deflated. He didn't expect that the prince would come in at that time, and he also saw the secret report sent to him by the people below about Liu Dongxing, what could he say? For no reason, what is the idea of inquiring about the news of the new branch Wu Jinshi? Who are you trying to woo? In order to avoid suspicion and suspicion of the prince, he could only tell the story in the wind and snow, but ...... This is going to expose his thoughts about Gu Wenyi, and in order to win the trust of the prince, he has to magnify and magnify his jealousy and hatred for Liu Dongxing, showing that he has the urgency to ask for the prince...... Maybe he is a little sorry for Liu Dongxing when he does this, but ...... Why is he willing to bear the suspicion of the prince in order to keep this man?
He had previously obtained the prince's personal promise that he could officially leave the palace and build a mansion after he reached the age of fourteen, and the title was the previously negotiated general of the Zhenguo. He will be fourteenth birthday at the end of this month, and there must be no mistake at this time......
Zhu Jingshen was silent for a while, and then he was a little lonely, and said in a low voice: "That's it...... Stay away from me...... It's not a bad thing......"
