Chapter 8: Remember to miss me
On the way home, Su Chen was like a bird, chattering after Gu Xinian and asking questions, and the latter had to tell him in detail about what happened in the private room with a helpless face.
In this way, Fu Yi does have some ability. I said why did he suddenly put the curtain down, because he didn't want to see Mo Fengchi them.
I see, it's okay for anyone to be destined for this, just don't be a few of them, it's an eyesore to look at. ”
Looking at his angry appearance, he didn't know and thought that he had suffered something annoying, Gu Xinian couldn't help laughing.
"I thought you said that Fu Yi knew a hundred schools of thought and knew everything, but he knew more than ordinary people. As a result, I didn't expect that this person was more like he had the ability to read minds and predict. ”
Hearing this, Su Chen pursed his lips and was noncommittal.
"However, what does it mean that this Mo family is gone? Moved away? ”
Listening to Su Chen's inquiry, Gu Xinian was a little reluctant to speak.
She knew that Su Mansion was destroyed, so when she told him about it, she deliberately didn't make it clear, just because she was afraid that he would be sad, but she didn't expect to be asked by him.
Seeing that Gu Xinian didn't speak, Su Chen was a little dazed, only to see him touch Gu Xinian with his elbow, urging her to speak quickly.
"Isn't it, you say?"
"It's not. Mofu ...... Destroyed. ”
"Destroy the ......"
Su Chen frowned, a little silent, Gu Xinian noticed that the other party's mood was a little wrong, and his brows couldn't help but wrinkle.
She knew she shouldn't have said it.
I didn't know what to say, but Su Chen looked up, saw that his eyes were worried, and only smiled, hiding the strangeness in his heart.
"I don't dare to say it at other times, but I was in the capital a year ago, and I had never been far away. But I've never heard of a case of extermination in the capital. ”
After the Su family was destroyed, although Su Chen was crowned the prince, he had the privilege of not going to the court, and he did not have any position, so he was very idle on weekdays.
People are basically all of them, either in the Zhuangzi under the name of the family, or they are running around.
Two years ago, after receiving the order of the Queen Mother, I moved to the capital to live, and I never went far during the period.
It stands to reason that he will hear some rumors about such a big thing as destroying the door, but he doesn't know at all.
Something is wrong.
"Could it be that he was suppressed by the government?"
Although he asked like this, Gu Xinian didn't believe in this kind of reason.
After all, the government can not pass it on, but among the people, it is impossible not to discuss it at all.
"I'm afraid it's unlikely, so let's ask someone to check it out when I get home, and see if I can find out something."
Hearing this, Gu Xinian thought about it and nodded in response.
"By the way, when I left, Fu Yi told me the location of the Mo family, saying that it was in Lianhu Lane in the western suburbs, do you know that place?"
"The western suburbs are connected to Shanghai Lane...... I don't know, I haven't been in the capital for long, and I basically go back and forth in these lively areas on weekdays, but you can ask Uncle Wang when you go back, Uncle Wang should know. ”
The Forget Worry Pavilion is not far from Su Mansion, and the two talked about it, and they arrived at Su Mansion from time to time.
As soon as he got out of the carriage, he saw Uncle Wang hurriedly greet him.
"Ouch, young master, you're back."
"What's the matter, Uncle Wang, what are you anxious about?"
Su Chen and Gu Xinian glanced at each other, both of them were a little puzzled, and Uncle Wang clapped his hands and sighed.
"Young Master, come into the palace quickly. The Queen Mother sent someone to pass on the decree, so that you can enter the palace quickly. ”
"Aunt let me enter the palace? When was this? ”
"It's been more than an hour ago, and someone came to urge me a while ago. The old slave only said that you were out of the house, and asked Mama to tell the Queen Mother, and she would let you go as soon as you came back. ”
"Why did I only come back yesterday, and let me enter the palace today, who sent the news?"
As if he didn't expect Su Chen to say this, Uncle Wang wanted to cry without tears.
"How can anyone spread the news, it is after you left before, the Queen Mother sent people to come a few times, knowing that you are not in the capital.
The old slave said that you will come back after touching the moon, but I haven't seen you after a few months, and the Queen Mother's people have come a few times during this period. ”
Hearing this, Su Chen let out a long sigh, looked at Uncle Wang, and then looked at Gu Xinian, with a face full of reluctance, which made her want to laugh a little.
"See what I'm doing, see if I can go? It's hard to disobey the will, go quickly, it's too late, I'm afraid I'll have to listen to a few more nagging. ”
"Okay, then I'll go. I'm afraid that I won't be able to come back, and eighty percent of dinner will be used in the palace, so don't wait for me.
If you are bored in the afternoon and want to go out, remember to bring a maid, you are a girl, it is not safe, you have no money to tell Uncle Wang, how much you need to pay from the house.
If you don't want to go out, there is a library in my yard, you can go to my yard and have a look......"
"Okay, okay, let's go, don't you just enter the palace, why is it the same as a heroic sacrifice, and you will leave here to explain the future?"
Afraid that Su Chen would not finish chattering, Gu Xinian hurriedly interrupted him, and then pushed him into the carriage, but Su Chen continued while going up:
"But let me tell you, if I am staying in the palace, I am afraid that I will not be able to come back until tomorrow afternoon, you have to remember to miss me, I heard that there is no ......"
"Take him away, take him away!"
Seeing that the people got into the carriage, Gu Xinian hurriedly waved at the coachman, asking him to quickly pull away this nagging person.
The coachman got up and started to leave, but Su Chen didn't give up and opened the curtains and shouted at her:
"That's right! I didn't eat anything last time I went to cyclamen, so when I come back, I'll take you there tomorrow! Also, remember to miss me!! ”
Watching the carriage disappear from sight, Gu Xinian breathed a sigh of relief helplessly, and finally left.
When he turned around, he saw Uncle Wang looking at him with a smile on his face, and Gu Xinian only felt a little hairy for a while.
Thinking about it, Gu Xinian was clever in his heart, and when he looked at it again, he felt that no matter how he looked at it, it really looked like he was looking at his daughter-in-law.
"Uncle Wang...... You...... Have something to tell me? ”
"Oh, yes. Our young master has never seen him like this since our Su Mansion was destroyed for no reason. ”
As he spoke, Uncle Wang made a gesture and motioned for Gu Xinian to enter the mansion, while he followed aside.
"Although the young master is also giggling and smiling on weekdays, he doesn't look like a master, but the old slave can see that he is not as happy as being with the girl."
"The Su family...... Why was it destroyed? I have only heard Su Chen mention the matter of destroying the door once, but I am afraid that he will be sad, so I don't dare to ask him. ”
As soon as the words fell, Uncle Wang sighed heavily as if he remembered something.
"It's been three years since the Su Mansion was destroyed. The Su family can also be said to be a big family in Beijing, but they didn't expect that hundreds of people were suddenly killed, and the thief's fire burned for almost a night.
That year, the young master and the old man were angry, and ran away to a private Zhuangzi old slave to be ordered by his wife to persuade the young master to come back, because of this, he escaped the catastrophe. Except for that, none of them lived. ”
"That'...... Any idea who did it? ”
Uncle Wang shook his head, "Afterwards, there was a lot of turmoil in Beijing. The emperor ordered someone to investigate the matter thoroughly, whether it was the Yamen or the Dali Temple, they could not find out. ”
"That'...... If you can't find out, you don't care? ”
"yes. The Queen Mother also heard about this and asked the emperor to send someone to investigate, but after so many years, there is no news at all, and those who are officials may have ignored it a long time ago. ”
"Girl, do you know, why is the young master so reluctant to enter the palace?"
Hearing this, thinking of Su Chen's appearance, Gu Xinian shook his head, "I don't know." ”
"Strange to say, although the Queen Mother and the young master are related, they are also far away.
There was no contact before, but half a year after the destruction of the Su Mansion, the Queen Mother asked the emperor to decree that the young master should be named the prince, and the young master was treated very well.
The Queen Mother has never particularly loved anyone, the young master is the first one, yes, everyone in the capital knows that the Queen Mother only favors the young master.
But no matter what, after all, if you don't kiss, you naturally don't like to enter the palace. ”
The words fell, Gu Xinian was silent for a moment, she really didn't know anything about these things.
Su Mansion was destroyed three years ago, and there was such a big movement, thinking that the original owner would hear a few words when he came to chew the root of his tongue.
But she didn't have the slightest impression that it probably happened after the original owner left Beijing.
However, the emperor and the queen mother are not afraid that it is not a good intention.
Otherwise, no matter how a case is, it is impossible to investigate it for three years and not find a trace of something, and there is a high probability that the minister will write a letter, and the emperor will act like a perfunctory thing.
And the Queen Mother, a relative who can't be beaten by eight poles, suddenly doted on Su Chen so much, saying that she had no purpose, she would never believe it.
"Girl, the old slave entrusts you with something. The old slave could see that the young master trusted the girl and liked to be with her. In the future, I will ask the girl to take care of our young master. ”
Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly.
"Uncle Wang is so relieved, not afraid that I will harm him?"
"If the girl has that thought, the old slave won't be able to see the young master."
"Do you know who I am?"
Uncle Wang was silent for a moment, and his tone was a little tentative.
"The girl is Ye Xiang's daughter-in-law, Gu Xinian?"
This answer Gu Xinian didn't expect it, even if it wasn't an affirmative sentence, but he was surprised to think of this.
When Uncle Wang saw her surprised, he knew that he had guessed correctly, but he heard him explain as soon as Gu Xinian wanted to ask:
"A few years ago, the old slave saw the girl a few times on the street, and the girl also helped the old slave, but the girl may have forgotten it.
When I saw the girl yesterday, I only felt that my face was raw at first sight, but then I thought about it carefully, but it was familiar and tight, and it was just a guess from last night. ”
"Then even so, you can rest assured of me?"
"The girl is kind-hearted, and the rumors from the outside world cannot be believed after all. Not to mention those things in the back house. ”
Hearing this, Gu Xinian glanced at him and nodded.
"Uncle Wang, don't worry, I know how Su Chen treats me. Since he is his sister, I will take good care of him as a brother. ”
After lunch, Gu Xinian slept for a while because he didn't sleep well last night, thinking that he would sleep for a long time, but he woke up in only half an hour.
When I woke up and had nothing to do, I wanted to leave the house again.
Thinking of being in the Forgotten Worry Pavilion in the morning, when she was leaving, Fu Yi told her where the Mo family was, she had a thought.
changed his clothes, asked his subordinates, and found Uncle Wang, who was training his subordinates.
"Uncle Wang."
Seeing that the person who came was Gu Xinian, Uncle Wang asked his subordinates to do things first, and then asked:
"Ah, girl. But what's the matter? ”
"Well, I want to ask you a place, I don't know if you know."
"This capital, don't say anything else, where is the old slave knows, the girl said."
"Do you know where Lianhu Lane is in the western suburbs?"
