Chapter 356: The Candidate for the Butler
Uncle Chen smiled faintly, picked up a cup of hot tea that had just been brewed, and handed it to Ling Ruoyi's hand and said, "Princess, do you know?" According to historical records, after the establishment of Shu Han, the Northern Expedition was planned. At that time, Meng Shu, the chief of Southwest Yi, led an army of 100,000 to invade Shu. In order to solve the worries of the Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang decided to personally lead his troops to level Meng Shu first. The main force of the Shu army reached near Lushui, lured the enemy to battle, and laid an ambush in the valley in advance. I think back then, didn't the princess also use the strategy of wanting to capture and indulge, and the old slave was fortunate enough to do things in the Prime Minister's Mansion? ”
"Uncle Chen, what do you mean......" Ling Ruoxuan understood the meaning of Uncle Chen's words, that's right, if you directly recommend a housekeeper to King Rui, he will definitely be suspicious, but if you want him to hire the person he chooses, it does take a lot of effort.
"Princess, you are so smart, this little thing will not stump you." Uncle Chen said with a smile.
"Uncle Chen, don't trust me too much, if it fails, it will be a big mess." Ling Ruoyi smiled faintly.
"Got big? What do you mean? Uncle Chen was puzzled. The princess has only been married for a few years, why can't she understand what she says?
Mengchun and Mu'er have long been accustomed to Ling Ruoyi's modern words, and sometimes they can follow Ling Ruohui to say a few words, "Uncle Chen, what the princess means is that if you can't smoothly arrange people into the Rui Palace, then it will be a shame." ”
"Hey, what's the shame of this, Rui Wang's Mansion is not an ordinary place, if you want to put people in it, and you can use it for yourself, it's not a simple thing. Moreover, I think that the princess has already made a plan, and when she returns home today, she wants to find a choice with the prime minister or the old slave. ”
"Well, Uncle Chen is Uncle Chen, but he is different from others, since Uncle Chen has guessed my thoughts, then ask Uncle Chen to recommend someone to me to choose." Ling Ruoyi said lightly.
"Candidate, there is one in the old slave's heart, he used to be the housekeeper of the Weiguo Mansion, but he said that he has nothing to do with the royal family, I'm afraid this person is not easy to invite."
"The Patriotic Mansion? Why haven't I heard of it? Ling Ruoyi wondered.
Uncle Chen smiled faintly, "Princess, this Duke Wei Guo was the one who helped the ancestor emperor to conquer the country, and he was very valued by the ancestor emperor, but he was really too powerful in the army, and the ancestor emperor was worried that he would support the army and kill again, so he set up a Hongmen banquet and came to a glass of wine to release the military power. Wei Guogong was cut of military power, and he was idle at home all day, and after a long time, he became depressed and became ill, and finally fell seriously ill and died. The Ancestral Emperor regretted it very much, but it was too late. ”
Hearing this, Ling Ruoyi frowned slightly, it is normal for the emperor to worry about the rebellion of people with military power, there have been many examples of military generals and mercenaries rebelling in history, Zhao Kuangyin Chen Qiao is sick, and the yellow robe is added. Isn't that a vivid example? "Uncle Chen, even if the ancestor emperor cut the military power of Wei Guogong, this is also normal, when the ancestor emperor just laid down the country of Yunshang, he also didn't want the people to suffer anymore, a glass of wine released the military power, it can be seen that the ancestor emperor is still a person who values love and righteousness, why did this Wei Guogong end up depressed."
"Who's to say it isn't." Uncle Chen said helplessly.
"Uncle Chen, what is the situation of Wei Guogong's former housekeeper now?" Ling Ruoyi said lightly. She needed to know what the current situation of this person was, so that she could prescribe the right medicine.
"His life is fine, but his son is seriously ill and has seen many doctors."
"Uncle Chen, the princess is the first miracle doctor in the world, why didn't he bring his son to the princess for a consultation? If the princess had treated his son, he would have been willing to help the princess. Mu'er said happily.
But how can things in the world go so smoothly, if he is willing to come to him to see his son, it will not drag on for so long. It seems that the knot in his heart must be very deep, and if he can know where the knot is, he may be able to solve it.
"Mu'er, in fact, I have already mentioned to him, looking for the princess to see a doctor, the princess has not yet left the cabinet, but he knows that King Qi and King Rui are both competing for the princess, he said that the princess will be a member of the royal family sooner or later, and in his life, he will never associate with the people of the royal family, let alone bow his head to the people of the royal family."
"How can there be such a stubborn person, the princess is the concubine of King Qi, and King Qi is the younger brother of our emperor, of course, he is a member of the royal family, and he does not associate with people from the royal family, so Uncle Chen, you are the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion, aren't you also doing things for the people of the royal family?" Mu'er pouted.
I have to say that what Mu Er said really makes some sense, the current mother of the country is the eldest lady of the Zhenguo Mansion, and she is Ling Ruoxuan's cousin. Ever since Xiahou Jingyao married Emperor Yuchen, Ling Ruoyi has already been regarded as a member of half of the royal family.
"Mu'er's words are good, but he is targeting the royal family." Uncle Chen said helplessly.
"Uncle Chen, in this case, you go to see him tomorrow and test if he is willing to let me see him, and does he know that you are a housekeeper in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Ling Ruoyi said lightly. If this former butler of the Patriotic Mansion hates the royal family so much, then he is also a member of the royal family, and he will definitely not want to see him.
"You know, we're good friends. I will mention this matter to him tomorrow, and I can't harm my child for the rest of my life because of his momentary anger. ”
Hearing this, Ling Ruoyi's heart can finally be a little more relieved, was Wei Guogong really depressed back then? Is there anything we don't know about this, if it is said to be loyal to the master, that's it, and it won't hate the royal family so much.
It seems that she needs to investigate this matter, so should she ask her father and uncle, or King Qi? Ling Ruoyi fell into confusion.
In the evening, Ling Xiang finally returned to the palace from the palace, and as soon as he entered the door, he went to the next person to report that the princess had returned to the palace, but even if he didn't see the carriage of the Qi Palace, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
Stepping into the flower hall, I saw Ling Ruohui and Yunfei and his wife talking about homely things, "The old minister sees the princess, and the princess is safe." Ling Xiang arched his hand.
"Dad, what are you doing, it should be your daughter who is asking you for peace." After saying that, Ling Ruoyi was about to kneel down and salute, but was supported by Ling Xiang.
"Although you are your father's daughter, you are a princess and a member of the royal family, so your father naturally has to salute when he sees you."
"In our own home, and there are no outsiders, don't be polite, Dad, you know, I hate those so-called etiquette the most."
"Okay, okay, okay, it's up to you." Ling Xiang doted. Suddenly, Ling Xiang thought of something, and said, "By the way, when you go back to the palace today, why didn't you say hello in advance, and I didn't see the carriage of the palace." ”
"I had a quarrel with Yun Yuqi, and I came back when I got angry." Ling Ruoyi said with a calm face.
"You kid, how can you run home when you're angry, how good King Qi is. People of temperament, you two will be angry, Dad doesn't believe it, you must be making a child's temper again, right? ”
"Father, am I your daughter or is he your son, how can I face him." Ling Ruoyi pouted. This is her mother's home, and her own father actually favors her husband, which really hurts her.
"You are naturally my father's daughter, but isn't it said as the saying goes, a son-in-law can hold half of it, and my father naturally feels sorry for him."
"Who said it's half, it's a whole." With a warm male voice, King Qi wore a purple Panlong prince costume and walked in.
"What are you doing here, you went to the wrong door, this is Ling Xiang's Mansion, not your Qiwang Mansion." Ling Ruoxuan said coldly.
"Oh, my good lady, you're still angry, I don't want you to meddle in the affairs of Rui Wangfu, I'm worried that you will be hurt, but what if you have to interfere......"
"If I have to intervene, what are you going to do?"
"I'll go up to Dao Mountain, and I'll accompany you when I get off the oil pot." King Qi was full of flattery.
Hearing this, Ling Ruoyi's face was filled with a faint smile, and she knew that if she persevered, King Qi would definitely admit defeat. But at this moment, the people who spoil the scenery appeared.
"I said, you husband and wife want to talk to me and me, go back to your own house and close the door, whatever you want, isn't it good to be in this public, it will make people jealous." Ling Yunfei smiled evilly.
"Stinky boy, I'm your sister, won't you recognize me as your family at this time?"
"Yes, of course it's family, but sister, if you want to be intimate with your brother-in-law, you also have to avoid us a little, or should we avoid it first?" Ling Yunfei quipped.
The jade rabbit sank in the west, the golden crow rose in the east, and in the blink of an eye, it was another day, Steward Chen bought a few snacks that Zhao Quan liked to eat in Jixiangzhai on the street, and walked towards the steamed bun lane in the east of the city.
When Dangdang, Uncle Chen knocked a few times, and then heard someone answering the door in the house, "It's coming, who is it?" Squeaked open the door, "Old fellow, why are you?" Zhao Quan said with a smile. Immediately, let Uncle Chen in the door.
"Of course I miss you old thing, no, I brought you a snack from Jixiangzhai." Uncle Chen shook the snack in his hand and said with a smile.
"Come inside." Zhao Quan pulled Uncle Chen into the main house, and as soon as he entered the door, he happened to see Zhao Quan's son, who was reading and writing at the desk.
"Uncle Chen is here, please sit down, my nephew will pour you tea." Zhao Yingjun said with a smile. Then he drove on crutches and walked towards the door with difficulty.
Uncle Chen watched Zhao Yingjun walk out of the main house, and then said softly to Zhao Quan: "Brother Quan, let's find a doctor to take a good look at Yingjun." I've told you many times before, Princess Qi's medical skills are outstanding, and she will definitely find a way to cure the handsome. ”
"Don't say more, I've heard this many times, and I said that I should not associate with the people of the royal family, nor should I be favored by the people of the royal family."
"Why do you bother, don't ruin the child for the grievances of our previous generation, if you are worried that Princess Qi knows the identity of Yingjun, then I will say that Yingjun is my nephew, please ask her to heal, so that she will not only know Yingjun's identity, but also heal her legs." Uncle Chen proposed.
Zhao Quan didn't think about looking for Ling Ruoyi for his son, but she is now the princess of Qi, and he can't help but avenge the Yun family's feud with the Weiguo Mansion, for this reason, he also harmed his son to not be able to walk like a normal person, he is sorry for his son, but Uncle Chen's proposal made him a little tempted.
Uncle Chen saw that Zhao Quan was already moved, and then continued to persuade him: "Tonight, I will have someone send a message to the princess, and tomorrow, I will drive Yingjun to the hospital to see the princess." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Quan looked at the back of his son who was boiling water in the yard, and finally nodded heavily......
