Chapter 193: Acting Father-in-law
Zhu Yunxi walked out of Qinglou Academy with black lines on his head, but he didn't expect that he would be able to make such a big move when he came to find Wang Jinghong.
"It seems that I really have a fate with this Lin Wan girl."
He shook his head and said to himself, feeling that his image had collapsed again.
"I came to Qinglou Academy twice, and I hugged Miss Lin Wan twice, if I say that there is nothing between the two, what if the ghost believes it?"
But when he thought of Lin Wan, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile.
Actually, this girl is very good, although she is from the Qinglou, but how to say it?
It's good anyway!
Zhu Yunxi's soul is a modern person, and he is very open to this kind of thing, and it is not impossible if it is really possible to include this girl in his palace
Who calls himself a prince?
Isn't it normal to have three wives and four concubines?
He always likes to use this kind of excuse to justify himself now, thinking that this is the welfare of the traverser.
Do not enjoy the white do not enjoy!
Thinking of this, he cracked his mouth again and smiled:
"Grandma, anyway, the jar is broken, the next time Lao Tzu comes to Qinglou Academy, how about hugging her again?"
The next day, the acting father-in-law in the palace personally sent thirty eunuchs to Zhu Yunxi.
Wang Jinghong really didn't cool the tea, and the current chief eunuch in the palace, acting father-in-law, definitely gave him enough face.
The thirty eunuchs were divided into three age groups, fifteen young and strong, ten steady and mature, and five of them were older, apparently brought in consideration of being more familiar with the rules of the palace.
The acting father-in-law looked at Zhu Yunxi and said respectfully:
"These people are used by the prince first, if it is not suitable, just send them back to the palace, and after the prince gets married, the old slave will send more people to the palace."
Zhu Yunxi was very grateful and took the acting father-in-law's hand and said for a while, the well-behaved and sensible Liuli had already prepared a silver ticket of one thousand taels and stuffed it into the acting father-in-law's hand very respectfully.
Acting father-in-law squinted at Liuli, and said with a smile:
"Isn't this the glass girl, the old slave didn't recognize it at once."
"You are a noble person who forgets things, how can you remember me, a little palace maid." ”
Ruri pouted.
"You can't really blame the old slave for being clumsy, but the girl is becoming more and more different from before."
Acting father-in-law winked at Liuli as he spoke.
He is an experienced old eunuch, so he can naturally see at a glance that Liuli is no longer a little girl at this moment.
Liuli's face suddenly turned a little red, and she stomped her feet and shouted at Zhu Yunxi:
"Third master, you see that the acting father-in-law is disrespectful to the old man, and he makes fun of others."
After saying this, she ran out of the house.
"Why is this girl getting more and more unruly."
Zhu Yunxi smiled at his acting father-in-law.
The acting father-in-law didn't think so at all, but said with some sighs:
"This girl has a hard life, she entered the palace with Concubine Yuan in her early years, she was still a little girl at that time, and then she was alone with the third master for so many years, and now it can be regarded as bitter."
Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi hesitated for a long time, but couldn't help but ask:
"Acting father-in-law, can you tell me about my mother?"
As soon as he heard this, the acting father-in-law was slightly stunned, his eyes suddenly turned a little red, and he said in a hoarse voice:
"There is no one in this palace who can compare to Concubine Yuan!"
After saying this, he seemed to be a little unable to shed two tears on his own, arched his hand at Zhu Yunxi, and turned away.
Zhu Yunxi looked at his back, and was a little confused for a while, he always felt that the expression of his acting father-in-law was a little abnormal, as if he wanted to speak and stopped, and seemed to be embarrassed by a trace of unspeakable difficulty.
In fact, strictly speaking, there is no relationship between Zhu Yunxi and Concubine Yuan, except that this body fell from Concubine Yuan.
But for some reason, he always thinks of this woman inexplicably.
even produces an inexplicable sense of closeness, and then produces incomparable longing.
To tell the truth, if Concubine Yuan was alive at the moment, he would definitely kneel in front of Concubine Yuan willingly and call his mother.
This is probably the common trait of traversers.
The mind and the body are inextricably linked, and they influence each other, and over time, they will become one.
So Zhu Yunxi sometimes looks at the portrait of Concubine Yuan silently alone, and silently calls her mother in her heart.
He had an urge to know anything about this mother.
There's no reason, it's just a matter of wanting to know.
A moment later.
Zhu Yunxi paced back to the inner hall and asked at Liuli:
"Do you know this acting father-in-law? Where was he before? ”
Liuli nodded and said: "He used to serve Concubine Yuan in the East Palace, but when Concubine Yuan died, he disappeared inexplicably." ”
"You mean to say that he used to be a eunuch at my mother's side?"
Zhu Yunxi asked with some surprise.
Liuli nodded again and said: "At that time, Liuli was still young, but I had such an impression in my mind, and then I slowly saw his figure again many years later, as for where in the palace in the years when I disappeared, Liuli didn't know." ”
"I see."
Zhu Yunxi remembered the appearance of his acting father-in-law just now, and couldn't help frowning, and said secretly in his heart:
"After his mother died, he disappeared inexplicably, and now he has become the chief eunuch after Wang Jinghong, how is this possible?"
He felt that this was completely illogical.
First of all, why did he disappear after the death of Concubine Yuan?
Where did he go?
What have you done in the years since you disappeared?
Why did he reappear in the palace many years later and become the chief eunuch?
Liuli may not think about these problems, but as Zhu Yunxi, he has to think about them.
"Isn't it because this girl Liuli is mistaken?"
He thought silently in his heart, and his curiosity was immediately aroused.
"No, it seems that I have to go to Qinglou Academy and ask Wang Jinghong about it."
.
in another room.
Ma Sanbao was also a little surprised when he saw that there were suddenly so many eunuchs in the palace.
He remembered a conversation between himself and Liuli that day, and he was suddenly a little moved.
"It should be what the glass girl said to the prince, which made the prince find so many eunuchs to come over."
I was thinking about it, but someone came to call him, saying that the prince asked him to pass.
Ma Sanbao was overjoyed, if nothing else, he would be the leader of this group of eunuchs in the future.
Sure enough, in front of these eunuchs, Zhu Yunxi directly announced that Ma Sanbao would lead everyone.
Then he said to Ma Sanbao:
"Pick some strong ones and go with you to the barracks."
After Zhu Yunxi left, these eunuchs surrounded Ma Sanbao with hula.
"Sambo, why are you here?"
A eunuch looked surprised and shouted.
Ma Sanbao looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help shouting happily: "Dafu, it turned out to be you!" ”
As they spoke, their hands clasped tightly together.
It turned out that the two of them were on errands in the palace in the early years, and they were extremely good friends at that time, but they didn't expect to meet again in King Wu's mansion many years later.
The two were talking, but they saw several eunuchs next to them shouting:
"Sambo, you don't know me, do you?"
Ma Sanbao looked carefully again, and almost jumped for joy.
"Uncle Xiang!"
"Little monkey!"
"Brother Ma!"
“......”
Ma Sanbao screamed a series of mouths, only to realize that a small half of the people in front of him were known to him.
Looking at these strange and familiar faces, Ma Sanbao's heart was once again full of gratitude to Liuli.
"I didn't expect Liuli not only to bring so many subordinates for herself, but also to deliberately find so many friends she knew, and she really did her best to my friend back then."
He sighed in his heart, but heard the middle-aged eunuch he called Uncle Xiang ask with a smile:
"Sanbao, didn't you go to the Yanwang Mansion in Beiping? Why did you come here again and become our boss directly? ”
Ma Sanbao smiled when he heard this: "I have known Miss Liuli since I was a child, so she deliberately asked me to come." ”
The eunuchs are all people with active minds, and when they heard this, they looked at Ma Sanbao's face with a smug look, and they immediately understood the ancient times.
"It turns out that there are people in the palace!"
The eunuch, who was called Little Monkey, let out a shrill laugh and a little envy in his tone.
"Glass?"
The middle-aged eunuch named Uncle Xiang shouted softly, frowned slightly and thought about it, and suddenly showed a hint of abruptness, and said with a smile in his mouth:
"It turned out to be our King Wu's personal palace maid!"
As soon as this sentence came out, all the eunuchs suddenly realized.
What is the concept of King Wu's personal palace maid?
Not to mention that she can be half a hostess, but at least she can definitely speak to King Wu.
"It's to say that we want Ma Sanbao to be our boss, it turns out that there is such a relationship!"
After thinking about the relationship, everyone immediately saluted Ma Sanbao and said:
"I've seen Grandpa Ma!"
Ma Sanbao's heart blossomed, this was a treatment he had never had, and he was suddenly a little fluttering.
He raised his hand slightly at the eunuchs, and said with a smile:
"It's all your own people, don't be so polite, as long as you do your best in the future, this day will definitely be better than you used to."
As soon as they heard this, everyone nodded their heads one after another.
They all knew that King Wu was rich and treated his subordinates very well, so they all felt a little lucky.
At this time, someone remembered Zhu Yunxi's words just now, and couldn't help asking:
"Grandpa Ma, what did His Royal Highness King Wu say about going to the military camp just now?"
Ma Sanbao suddenly slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Look at my happiness, I even forgot about this important event." ”
He glanced at the crowd in front of him, and then called them by name.
"You, you, and your ......"
"Tomorrow I will go with me to the camp outside the city to be a soldier."
