Chapter 793 Going Out Alone
Just listening to the accounts of local officials could not understand the specific extent of the disaster, so Shen Huo decided to go to the place where the victims gathered to see in person.
After the morning, while the sun had not yet risen and the weather was not hot, Shen Huo specially ordered someone to find more modest clothes.
Seeing Shen Huo's move, He Suoyi asked, "Emperor, is your husband going out to see the disaster?" ”
almost blurted out a sentence and called the emperor, but fortunately He Suoyi reacted in time, although there are no outsiders at this time, but you should be careful where you should pay attention.
Shen Huo hadn't thought about hiding anything, but now when he heard her ask, he said: "Listening to what they say, it's not as good as me going to see it in person, plus this is not a trivial matter, it is related to the lives of many people, so naturally I can't be careless." ”
"When we came here with my father, there were victims along the way, didn't my husband know enough about the situation?"
After listening to Shen Huo's words, He Suoyi felt that there were all disaster victims outside, and he was more or less unstable when he went out at this time, so he opened his mouth to stop Shen Huo.
Shen Huo heard the meaning of He Suoyi's words, but he didn't intend to change his mind, and said: "Madame's words are a little inappropriate, and the more you can understand the situation at this time, the more conducive it is to make a decision, and naturally you can't just rely on what you have seen and heard along the way." ”
The two had already discussed before, and because they couldn't directly state their identities outside, they called each other according to the names of ordinary people's homes, which was a little different from the appearance of abiding by etiquette in the palace on weekdays.
He Suoyi knew that what Shen Huo said was reasonable, and according to Shen Huo's temperament, no matter how much she persuaded him, it was useless, so he asked, "If the husband insists on going, can he let the concubine accompany him?" ”
"At this time, it's very chaotic outside, you don't want to go out to join in the fun, you can't bring too many people when you go out now, so as not to attract the attention of people with bad intentions, if something goes wrong, what should I do if I can't protect you?"
Shen Huo's original intention when he said this was to worry that something would happen to He Suoyi, but because his tone was a little harsh, He Suoyi was a little aggrieved after hearing it, and said, "What does Husband mean by this?" The concubine is not that three-year-old child, how can she not even protect herself? ”
"Ayi, this outside is not as good as in the palace, I have eyeliner everywhere in the palace, so naturally nothing can happen, but now this is a special period, can't you be considerate of me?"
The opinions of the two were different, but they were stubbornly unwilling to change, so they had to stalemate for a while.
The arrival of He Hui just broke this situation.
"Your Majesty, Governor Li is holding a banquet in the mansion and wants to invite you over."
Shen Huo thought that Governor Li naturally couldn't be bold enough to think crookedly at such a critical moment, he should have some strategy for this disaster, so he had to put down the clothes that the slave had just sent over.
He Suoyi understood the current priority, and after hearing that Governor Li had set up a banquet to invite him, he temporarily put aside the matter that the two had been arguing about, and went back to the room to tidy up his makeup.
Although Governor Li only invited Shen Huo alone, but this is just that, he naturally wished that He Suoyi could pass, because his wife seemed to know He Suoyi before, and had been urging him to invite He Suoyi to the mansion, but Governor Li was a little more sleek, and he was afraid that asking He Suoyi directly would make Shen Huo dissatisfied, so he said this.
When they arrived outside Governor Li's door, they saw from a distance that the butler of the Li Mansion was standing at the door, looking in the direction they came, for fear of neglecting them.
When the distinguished guests visited, they naturally avoided the trivial matters of going in to report to the host's house, and the housekeeper was very attentive to introduce Shen Huo and his party into the hall of the mansion.
Governor Li did not go out to greet him in person, naturally not to hold the shelf, but Shen Huo had already ordered not to make it too obvious, so as not to make people suspicious, after all, this is a micro-service patrol, and there are not many people around, in case of any accident, he may be caught off guard.
Governor Li, who was sitting in the hall waiting, saw Shen Huo and the others coming in, and immediately stood up and saluted, and did not forget to say: "The lower officials have lost their welcome, it is really rude, and please the emperor, the queen, Lord He, don't blame the lower officials." ”
Shen Huo knew that this person was a person, but he still inevitably felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, Governor Li listened very respectfully to this, and put his posture very low, but in fact, he didn't take what Shen Huo said before to heart.
He is so respectful and low-minded, if he is seen by the people in the mansion and then passed on to others, it is inevitable that people with a heart will not think much about it, after all, the governor of the dignified will be so respectful to a young man, there must be something strange in it.
Fortunately, Governor Li's ability to observe words and expressions is very strong, and when he saw that Shen Huo's complexion was different, he immediately reacted to what he had done, and quickly restrained his appearance.
Shen Huo's face looked a little better, and he asked, "I don't know what the reason for Lord Li's move, if it's for no reason......
Before he finished speaking, Governor Li had already heard the implication, Shen Huo meant that if he invited him over this time if there was nothing important, I was afraid that Shen Huo would definitely turn around and leave now.
"The lower official is indeed in trouble, but it has nothing to do with the disaster, but the inner son of the family has said that he knows the queen mother, and the queen mother is rare to come here, and the lower official wants to invite the queen mother to see the inner son, and also ask the emperor to agree."
He Suoyi listened to Governor Li's words, and her face was a little curious, she didn't remember that she had an old person who came here.
Shen Huo raised his eyes to look at He Suoyi, and after seeing the curiosity on He Suoyi's face, he nodded and said, "In that case, then please ask Mrs. Li to come out." ”
Because he was afraid of colliding with Shen Huo and He Suoyi, Governor Li let the female relatives of the family take refuge in the backyard early, and now after hearing Shen Huo's words, he hurriedly sent the housekeeper to the backyard to invite someone.
After a while, Mrs. Li came over, looking delicate, but a little sickly, empty, and stood in front of He Suoyi after saluting a few people in the hall, letting He Suoyi look at it.
He Suoyi didn't have the slightest impression of Mrs. Li, but suddenly saw the almost invisible mole in the corner of Mrs. Li's eye, and remembered the figure of a person in his mind, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
When Mrs. Li saw He Suoyi's demeanor, she knew that she was thinking of herself, and nodded slightly, with a smile on her face.
It is said that Mrs. Li and He Suoyi had several relationships when she was young, but she didn't know what happened later, and He Suoyi never thought that she would meet her again here.
Although they recognized Mrs. Li, there was no greeting between the two, but they smiled like that, and then they didn't seem to know each other.
Mrs. Li took two steps back, blessed, and said, "Thank you, the emperor, the queen mother is complete, but this slave in the name of Mrs. Li can't afford it." ”
Hearing this, Governor Li's face changed, as if he wanted to say something, but because of the presence of Shen Huo and He Suoyi, he didn't speak, but Mrs. Li did not shy away from saying: "Don't hide it from the emperor, in fact, the slave maid is not Lord Li's wife, but just a subordinate in charge of miscellaneous affairs in this mansion, but Lord Li insists on this, and the slave and maid lack a place to live, so they should respond to this reputation, but the two of us are not husband and wife." ”
Looking at Governor Li's appearance, he knows that he has affection for Mrs. Li, and although Mrs. Li said that there is no intersection between the two, there is also some affection in her eyes, but it is difficult for others to talk about this matter, so He Suoyi did not say anything.
The banquet that day was said to be a dish made by Mrs. Li herself, and there were indeed a few dishes that He Suoyi liked very much, and I thought it was really thoughtful.
After having dinner at Governor Li's place, Shen Huo was going back to the palace, and Governor Li knew that Shen Huo had his own arrangements in mind, so he didn't keep it.
On the way back to the palace, He Hui talked about a person he accidentally met when he went out yesterday, when that person was leading his entourage to distribute food to the victims, and the rest of the people were also full of praise for that person, and his words revealed that the person's reputation in this place was extremely high.
After hearing this, Shen Huo thought a little and asked, "Do you know where that person is?" ”
"The old slave specially inquired, and he already knew where the man lived, so he told the son about it."
Hearing He Hui call himself Shen Huo like this, he was a little uncomfortable for a while, and wanted to say something, but remembered that he was on the street at this time, which inevitably attracted the attention of others, so he also suppressed what he was about to say.
Shen Huo intended to meet the man, and when he was about to speak, He Suoyi said: "In this case, it would be good for the husband to take someone to visit the person, the concubine and the maid have been walking around here, and they have not gone out in recent days, and the concubine is a little bored." ”
"It's okay, Madame, remember to be careful, and remember to go around the places where there are many victims."
Shen Huo naturally knew why He Suoyi said this, after all, it was the first time to visit others, it was always difficult to bring his family with him, although he was a little worried about He Suoyi, but he also thought that this was in the city after all, and it should not be as chaotic as along the way, so he agreed.
He Suoyi took Lu Yun into a small inn.
The little twenty in the inn was very eye-catching, and when he saw He Suoyi holding the woman's hair in a bun, he came up and asked, "Is this lady sharpening or staying in the hotel?" ”
"Little Er, do you have buns and white cakes in this inn?"
Listening to He Suoyi's soft voice, Xiao Er's heart was a little fluctuating for a while, but he still didn't forget to answer: "What is this that Madame asked, these foods are naturally prepared by our small shop." ”
He Suoyi stretched out his hand and touched his sleeve, and said, "Pack up the remaining buns and white cakes in your store, and calculate the account after you finish it, and see how much silver it is." ”
When the little second heard this, he immediately guessed what he was buying these things for, and he couldn't help but feel that this young and beautiful lady was really kind-hearted, and when he settled the accounts, he took the fraction and wiped it out.
Because the shopkeeper saw that the identities of the two were extraordinary, after Xiao Er erased the fraction, he said more silver when he asked for the account.
