Body 54.A Conversation with a Father
"Don't hide it from the young master, when I went to the Dragon Boat Festival before Chu Ding, I heard the girls say that she met the Seventh Princess, and she stayed in our place not far away for a while." Seeing that the young master didn't speak, Chu Ding blurted out slowly in a low voice, although the slave couldn't guess what the master thought, but the young master's mood was weird, maybe it was really related to the seventh princess, even if he mustered up the courage, he felt that this matter still had to be known to the young master.
So have you ever been here? Why didn't you show up in front of him? Wait, the three princes also seem to have proposed a post-performance reunion before, and this gathering will not be......
"Young Master Liu, there is a little eunuch outside who said that his master has something to mention to the young master." At this time, the soldiers who were specially guarded disturbed Liu Haocheng's thinking.
"Whose is it?"
"I don't know, Liu Gongzi should go and see for himself!" The soldier shook his head and arched his hand and walked out of the side door.
Could it be the little eunuch of the third prince? Out of curiosity, Liu Haocheng still walked in the direction pointed by the soldier.
There weren't a few people outside, because of the previous assassins, everyone wouldn't come out to wander, but what about the little eunuch? There's no little eunuch outside at all!
"Young master, there are no little eunuchs!" Hatsu Ding spoke cautiously behind him.
"I'll go look on the other side, you go and rest first!" Liu Haocheng put one hand on Chu Ding's shoulder and commanded softly.
"No! What if the Assassins come again? Chu Ding has to be by the young master's side. "Chu Ding is reluctant at this time, in case the young master is injured in something, the master and the lady don't know how to greet him.
"It's okay, you go and rest first! You don't know how to do kung fu, and if something happens, I'll have to take care of you. Liu Haocheng shook his head, he intuitively felt that it would be better to go out alone this time.
"Alright! Then the young master go and come back quickly, don't let the old lady worry. ”
"Long-winded, got it!"
Although it is a magnificent palace, but living in the palace is not as comfortable as home, before an old eunuch came to each family to report, the entire palace has disappeared the figure of the assassin, they will do the final inspection, please rest assured.
It's hard to rest assured, don't take half a day, the Qing Taifu family left five people, the masters of the entire Qing Mansion only left the eldest son and the second daughter, the blood stained red, crying, screaming, no one can forget such a scene.
Liu Jiu'er was lying on the soft couch, she didn't see such a bloody scene and was scared half to death, the fear of losing her parents, the panic of not seeing the sun tomorrow from now on, not a person can completely describe it in words.
She closed her eyes, Liuli Pavilion, is today's assassin really from Liuli Pavilion? She only saw the backside, and didn't personally confirm whether it was or not, but in Liu Jiu'er's heart, fortunately she didn't confirm it, if it was really a person from Liuli Pavilion, so crazy and so young and old, killing people was so terrifying, in case she lost her life like this, it was also a very unworthy thing.
"Miss, are you asleep? Madame came. Bilan's voice.
Sitting up from the soft couch, he saw Wang enter the room with a trace of tiredness on his face.
"Mother, why didn't you go to rest?" Liu Jiu'er hurriedly went to greet her.
"How can you sleep, this is not your own home after all, your father was called by the emperor, the old lady has been chanting Buddha, I was really bored and came to see you. Fortunately, you didn't see such a bloody scene, but the painting was probably frightened, just now asked Qing Shui to bring fresh fruits to suppress the shock to the painting, after all, she saw Qing Taifu with her own eyes-" Wang didn't continue, it can be seen how painful the scene was at that time, and he pouted and changed the topic: "Jiu'er, did you really go to find out the truth with the third prince?" ”
"Well, yes! Fortunately, Jiu'er met the third prince, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable. ”
didn't expect her mother to suddenly ask about this, Liu Jiu'er pondered, should she tell her and the third prince's thoughts? Let's not mention it for now, let's take the opportunity to adapt!
"Mother really can't understand, the thing is obviously guarded by the people of Shangshu Mansion, there should be no one who can go in and fake, plus your father was worried before, take the token and let Cheng'er accompany you to check the sword, Cheng'er also reassured me that it was a blunt sword, but why was the sword dropped when you danced the sword!"
"......" Liu Jiu'er listened carefully and did not make any statement.
"I think your father and other officials have been called by the emperor, and they must not only discuss the matter of the assassins, but also turn the blunt sword into a sharp sword when dancing the sword, this matter is not big or small, and the seriousness is not trivial, plus the foreign envoys are all watching! This must be someone who wants to frame our Liu family, because as soon as you make a fool of yourself, you will directly make your father lose face in front of everyone. ”
"Jiu'er knows! Didn't Jiu'er crack the embarrassment! Mother rest assured, the third prince promised his daughter that they would help me find the person who framed me together, and I would definitely find out the truth and clear my name. Liu Jiu'er took Wang's hand, blinked her big eyes, and gave an affirmative smile.
"That's good! Mother believes in you. Wang nodded.
"Madame, Miss, the master is back!"
Just when the two were chatting energetically, Bi Lan greeted outside the door, and the next second she heard Bi Lan continue: "Hello master! ”
"Madame and Mademoiselle are in there?" Yoo Jeong-won asked.
"Back to the master, Mrs. and Miss are chatting inside!" Biran replied respectfully, opening the door to the room from the outside.
I saw Liu Zhengyuan walk into the house in a hurry, untie the cloak on his shoulders, and Ping'er hurriedly caught the hanger hanging next to him.
"Master, why did you come back so early!" Wang Jinmei took the tea from the hands of the girls and handed it over, usually such a big thing happens, the emperor can't release people so early, this is really incredible.
"Well, the emperor still needs to receive foreign envoys, after all, if this kind of thing happens, it will inevitably take some energy to do gag kung fu, plus this assassin assassinated Qing Taifu, I'm afraid it's not too simple." After Liu Zhengyuan finished speaking, he drank the tea in one gulp from the teacup.
Ping'er hurriedly filled the teacup.
"Why isn't it easy?" Wang asked curiously.
"The specific situation is not clear for the time being, but the emperor has already arranged for people to go to the Qingtaifu Mansion to investigate, this is what the assassin left before leaving." Liu Zhengyuan said as he took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to Wang.
Spread out the note and it said: Come out and mix, you have to pay it back.
"What does this mean?" Wang returned the note to Liu Zhengyuan.
"What do you mean, I guess you'll know in the next two days." Liu Zhengyuan stroked his beard, and his voice was silent with a hint of silence.
"Father, how many days are we going to stay in the palace?" Liu Jiu'er, who was silently watching her parents chatting, opened her mouth and asked, there are still many inconveniences in living in the palace.
"When the matter is dealt with, I will naturally go home, in the last few days, Jiu'er, don't make any trouble." Liu Zhengyuan said to the point.
"Jiu'er will be obedient, father rest assured." Liu Jiu'er nodded obediently.
"Oh, yes! Speaking of this, Jiu'er, my father has always been very curious, when you pulled out the sword in the scabbard, my father really pinched a cold sweat for you, fortunately Jiu'er was witty, otherwise my father wouldn't know how to explain it to you, but how did you know that the Bagua Divine Dragon Sword and the palace are square? ”
What should come will still come, Liu Jiu'er was prepared when she said these words in front of the emperor, since she knew these words when she was listening to books, then she told the truth.
"Tell your father! Did Jiu'er meet some unclean people outside? Seeing that Liu Jiu'er began to hesitate, the Wang family on the side was anxious, this matter is not trivial, if she doesn't figure it out, she will definitely not be relieved to be a mother.
"Jiu'er, Jiu'er heard it outside. But Jiu'er doesn't know some unclean people, father and mother, you can rest assured. Liu Jiu'er shook her head again and again after speaking, except for Su Yehua, she really hasn't made another friend, as for Su Yehua, a loose person, she still has to hide it from her parents!
"You don't know anyone who doesn't do anything dirty, how do you know about these things?" Yoo Jung-won's voice became serious.
"Jiu'er learned from the book." Liu Jiu'er deliberately lowered her voice, the more aggrieved the better.
"Listening to books? No way! How can a storyteller know about these subtle things? Liu Zhengyuan shook his head vigorously, this is absolutely impossible, he often listens to books outside, and the stories told by those storytellers are very short, they will not know such details.
"Father, it's true! If Jiu'er didn't hear about it, then how did Jiu'er know! Liu Jiu'er pouted.
"And where do you usually go to listen to books?" Liu Zhengyuan then asked.
"Baihuatang! A very formal place. "Liu Jiu'er only knows that Baihuatang can listen to books.
"Baihuatang?" At this time, Liu Zhengyuan frowned.
"It's the most central restaurant on East Street, and the business is very good!"
As soon as Liu Jiu'er's words were finished, she saw her father's eyes suddenly widen, with an incredible expression, as if what she Liu Jiu'er said was all legends and could not be believed.
"Are you sure you're listening to the book in Baihuatang?" Liu Zhengyuan asked cautiously.
Suddenly she felt a little weak, but she had indeed only been to Baihuatang, so Liu Jiu'er nodded carefully.
It was obvious that her father didn't believe her words, and there was a great deal of distrust in his eyes, which made Liu Jiu'er feel very hurt, and when she was about to explain, Liu Zhengyuan continued to ask.
"Then you say, who is there in Baihuatang to tell stories?" Liu Zhengyuan's question was very serious, as if he wanted to learn something deeper from her, which made Liu Jiu'er at a loss.
