Chapter 2: Misfortune Comes from Love (1)
Lord Huai Shu sat upright and listened to what Zizhu said. Zizhu stood with her hands in her hands, and before she could say anything, her head began to shake. Look at its posture has a long story. The more Lord Huaishu saw Zizhu pretending to be like this, the more it seemed that this matter was gimmicky, and it must be extremely interesting.
Zizhu coughed lightly and said, "This matter should start with your imperial aunt, the most favored daughter of the Holy Lord today, Princess Tiantai. Lord Huaishu let out a "huh", quite surprised. Zizhu continued: "It is said that the princess of Tiantai has reached the age of marriage, and she is worried about choosing a horse, and after hearing Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, Lord Xu Kuangxu, who is in the position of Taichangqing, is a talent and handsome, so he took the opportunity to take a sneak look at him. I don't know that love has been planted under it. Alas! ”
Zizhu sighed lightly, and her head shook like a rattle, as if it were her own business. Lord Huaishu looked funny, and thought to himself: Xu Kuang, it seems that the person mentioned by my father last time said that he was a match for me. Thinking of this section, Lord Huaishu shook his head and said secretly: It's cranky.
Zizhu sighed and said, "It's a pity that the falling flowers are intentionally ruthless. Today, our Tiantai princess actually asked the concubine to ask Lord Xu. Think about it, since Princess Tiantai took a fancy to Lord Xu, she asked someone to try him a few times, but he was indifferent. A few months passed, but Lord Xu ignored it, neither proposing to the emperor nor expressing anything to Princess Tiantai. This is a bad thing for our rooftop princess! The years are not forgiving! ”
Speaking of this, Zizhu sighed, it seemed that Princess Tiantai was too old to wait. Lord Huai Shu smiled secretly: "This ghost girl is so ridiculous about the imperial aunt. If she knows not to be angry, it will be strange. ”
Zizhu spread her hands and said, "What should I do?" For the sake of lifelong events, I had to put down the shelf. The concubine sent her cronies and eunuch Pang Bao to ask Lord Xu, guess what Lord Xu said. Lord Huaishu shook his head and asked, "What do you say?" ”
Zizhu clapped his hands, and then learned from the man's posture, pinched his throat, and said: "Father-in-law, Xiaosheng already has a crush, and it is really difficult to be worthy of the golden branches and jade leaves." Guess what Pang Bao said. She learned the trend of a eunuch again, twisted and pinched, pointed her throat, and said: "Lord Xu is so bold, even the concubine's decree dares to disobey." It is your blessing that the princess is willing to marry you, don't toast or eat and drink. ”
Lord Huaishu heard the voice of the eunuch Zizhuxue, and couldn't help laughing: "You, if you wear eunuch clothes, you must be an authentic eunuch!" Zizhu chuckled when she heard this, and said, "I deal with eunuchs every day, don't go to learn to see everything." ”
Lord Huaishu smiled: "If you want to be a eunuch so much, why don't you be reincarnated as a eunuch in the next life!" Zizhu's mouth pursed slightly, and she said disdainfully: "I don't want to be a eunuch." Lord Huaishu clapped his hands and smiled: "Could it be that you want to be a princess!" Zizhu shook his hands and shook his head: "I can't say it, I can't say it!" How could a slave or maid have such an idea, and not be beheaded? ”
Lord Huaishu pointed at her with a smile and said, "Seeing that you are in such a hurry, just laugh." Then, how did Lord Xu answer. Zizhu pretended to be a man again, flicked his long sleeves, and said, "Grandpa Pang, forgive the official for not going far." Lord Huai Shu said: "That's it." Zizhu said: "Not yet, Pang Bao returned to the palace to cheer and vinegar the concubine, but the concubine didn't do much after hearing it, and only made the princess Tiantai angry." Guess what's going on next? ”
Lord Huaishu frowned and said: "The imperial aunt is very strong-natured, hot-tempered, and reckless in doing things, and she is a person who cannot be offended. Zizhu said: "Princess Tiantai really can't be offended, she actually broke into Lord Xu's mansion with her entourage and made a big noise. Lord Huaishu said "hey" and said, "The imperial aunt really did this? ”
Zizhu said: "It's not, it scared Lord Xu and fled, nowhere to be found." Princess Tiantai also said that Lord Xu would not want to marry a wife in this life. She also asked who Lord Xu's intended person was? I also heard that Princess Tiantai also grabbed Lord Xu's family servant and tortured him, forcing him to tell Lord Xu's crush. If you think about it, maybe it was Lord Xu's perfunctory nonsense. Pity those servants, I don't know what they are beaten. ”
Lord Huaishu shook his head when he heard this, and he couldn't say anything for a while. Zizhu knelt on the chair with one leg, leaned on the table with both elbows, and said with a smile: "Master, this is someone else's business, let's talk about ours!" Lord Huaishu gently scratched her nose and said, "What do you want to say?" Zizhu said: "Did you tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about last night?" Lord Huaishu patted his forehead and said, "Ah! Almost forgot. ”
Zizhu said: "You promised well last night, turn your back and forget." How do you know that I have to serve you and take care of the affairs of the house, I am so tired, so hard, and I am not sympathetic to others at all. Lord Huaishu smiled: "I was going to say it, but my father was not there, so I could only wait for him to come back and say." Zizhu said: "His Highness has returned." Lord Huaishu pulled the purple beads and said, "Don't leave yet!" ”
The master and servant soon came to the door of Zhu Changluo's bedroom, only to see the two little eunuchs at the door bowing down and saying, "County Lord Yu'an." Lord Huai Shu said: "Open the door!" The little eunuch opened the door, and Lord Huaishu walked in. Turning the screen, there was cigarette smoke inside, and I saw Zhu Changluo lying on the couch on his side, closing his eyes and recuperating, a palace maid was pressing, and the big eunuch Han Benyong was standing aside.
"Who!" Zhu Changluo opened his eyes slightly, and when he saw that it was Lord Huaishu, he smiled slightly. Lord Huaishu said, "The child greets his father." Zhu Changluo beckoned: "Sit down to Lonely." Lord Huaishu sat on the couch, Zhu Changluo had sat up slightly, and said, "Originally, I wanted to look for you, but you came." ”
Lord Huaishu smiled: "Father's clever plan, pinch his fingers, and his sons will come over obediently." Her compliments drew laughter from the attendants. Zhu Changluo laughed even more, stroked the hair of Lord Huaishu with his hand, and said with feeling: "It's a pity that Concubine Guo is not here, otherwise it would not be gratifying to see you so likable." ”
As he spoke, he coughed violently. Han Benyong hurriedly patted Zhu Changluo's back and said, "Master, take a sip of tea and moisten your throat." Zhu Changluo only nodded.
Zhu Changluo suddenly mentioned Concubine Guo, who had passed away, and Lord Huaishu felt a faint pain in his heart. She saw that Zhu Changluo was coughing badly, and it seemed that she was not lightly ill, and she didn't dare to touch the injury again, so she hurriedly persuaded: "Father, you have to take care of your health!" Don't get too tired. Zhu Changluo took a sip of tea, he didn't cough like that, he sighed: "The old problem, no matter how much medicine I take, it doesn't get better." I've been used to it for a long time. ”
Lord Huaishu said bitterly: "Father, you are always weak, and your sons are very worried!" Zhu Changluo gently patted Lord Huaishu's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, my father is fine except for coughing." He coughed lightly a few times and said: "In a few days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the emperor will be happy for a while, and he will summon the royal family to gather together." Father thought about it, it is better for you to dance or play a song to help the emperor Yaxing. Lord Huai Shujun said: "This is a matter within the son's office, and the son-in-law must live up to his father's entrustment." Let the emperor be overjoyed. ”
Zhu Changluo said: "Sure enough, he is a good son of his father." Lord Huaishu said coquettishly: "Father, the son has already responded to you, and you should also do one thing for the son." Zhu Changluo smiled: "It turns out that it has been planned for a long time, let's talk about it!" Lord Huaishu smiled coquettishly: "You agree first, and the son will speak." Zhu Changluo smiled and pointed out: "Eccentric, good!" Father agreed. ”
Huai Shu said: "The county lord's mansion has always lacked a housekeeper, but I can't find a suitable housekeeper, but it just so happens that there is such a person next to my father who can help me take care of the county lord's mansion." I want my father to give him to his sons. Zhu Changluo smiled and said: "There is such a number one person around me, I don't know that I should be punished." I don't know what the children are talking about, but it also gave me a long experience. ”
Lord Huaishu held Zhu Changluo's hand, patted his hand, and said, "Father, you are serious. He is just a little eunuch, how can he enter your law? Zhu Changluo said in a "huh" voice: "It turned out to be a little eunuch." What can make my precious daughter fall in love must not be an ordinary little eunuch. I want to know more! Lord Huaishu said: "His name is Wang Han." Zhu Changluo thought about it for a long time and didn't think of who was named Wang Han.
Han Benyong said in a low voice: "Master, Wang Han is a eunuch from Shangshan Prison, who is about the same age as the county lord, and he is just cleaning in Ciqing Palace. Zhu Changluo said: "That's all." Han Benyong said: "That's all the slave knows." Zhu Changluo was quite suspicious, and Lord Huaishu shook his hand lightly, looking at him with a delicate face, his eyes full of pleading.
Zhu Changluo's heart softened and said with a smile: "It's up to you." Lord Huaishu smiled and kissed Zhu Changluo lightly on the cheek. Zhu Changluo laughed and hugged the county lord Huaishu, and the people who were standing at the moment were all happy.
Zhu Changluo said with a smile: "Han Benyong, go and find Wang Han, and the palace should take a closer look." Han Ben walked away with a smile. Soon, Wang Han came to the couch, he knelt down on his knees, and shouted: "Your Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose!" Zhu Changluo said: "Raise your head and let the palace take a look!" Wang Han raised his head as ordered, and Zhu Changluo said: "The eyebrows are still beautiful." Wang Han, this palace will give you to the county lord today, are you willing? Wang Han was overjoyed and said: "There are thousands of slaves who are willing." ”
Zhu Changluo said: "You will go to the county lord's mansion tomorrow and clean up." Wang Han knelt down again, and when he passed in front of Zizhu, Zizhu winked at him, and Wang Han smiled in return. Han Benyong said on the side: "Master, Wang Han is finally a eunuch, do you want to inform the prince." Zhu Changluo groaned: "After all, Wang An is the eunuch who is the master of ceremonies, and he is also a big celebrity next to his father, so don't say it, lest someone fan the flames." All right! Tomorrow, you go and talk to Wang An. Someone outside said, "Your Highness, it's time to eat." Zhu Changluo said with a smile: "Before you know it, it's time to eat, child, stay and eat with your father." Lord Huai Shu happily agreed.
