Chapter 32: Collusion
Li Zhenghang, who was suspicious, had already sent someone out of the corner gate to follow the leading Wang Yuanwai.
Sure enough, there was still some gain, Wang Yuanwai left the Li Mansion and did not return to the mansion directly, but went to another wealthy mansion. At the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate hangs a black gold silk nanmu plaque, on which there are two big characters inscribed in the beautiful line - "Zuofu". Yes, it is the supervision of the imperial history Zuo Linghong's mansion.
"The grass people have seen Lord Zuo." The king gave up his hands.
"How?"
"Back to my lord, Li Zhenghang didn't release him."
Zuo Linghong grinned and said, "I know that he won't let people go, and he will use this matter to eliminate his sharpness in the future." ”
Wang Yuanwai felt that he couldn't keep up with Zuo Linghong's "foresight", and asked suspiciously: "Then will we go to the Li Mansion to ask for someone in the future?" ”
Zuo Linghong looked at Wang Yuanwai and said, "No wonder you have such questions. You don't understand the situation in the imperial court, Li Zhenghang is now Li Shimin's darling, and he has great power. We must not stiffen our relationship with him, because it will only be harmful and unhelpful, and perhaps it will even attract Li Shimin's attention. Let Li Zhenghang be beautiful for a few days for the time being, hum! In the future, I will have time to play with him. ”
When Li Zhenghang heard that his subordinates had returned to the palace and went to Zuofu, he understood everything. Xiao Feiyan defected to the Li Mansion, how did they know? He also came to the Li Mansion to make trouble on this ground, and Li Zhenghang concluded that there was Zuo Linghong's eyeliner in the house. Zuo Linghong is narrow-minded, and he will take revenge if he has revenge.
Last time, Li Zhenghang checked in the concierge room, and he was indeed among the visitors who refused to come to the door. But even if it offends you! Conniving at the rich and robbing the people's daughters, is this done by officials? It seems that Li Zhenghang, who has just regained confidence in his career, has offended the villain in this matter again, and it is too difficult not to make enemies.
The door of Li Zhenghang's study was wide open, Xiao Feiyan still knocked on the door, and the sound of "knock knock" interrupted Li Zhenghang's thoughts. He raised his head and saw Xiao Feiyan walking in slowly, bowing down and saying apologetically: "Slave and maid, thank you for taking it in, your great kindness, slave and maid will be rewarded as a cow and a horse in this life!" Causing trouble to the house today, the slave and maid came to confess the guilt and asked the master to punish him. ”
"It's rare that you kid knows how to repay your kindness, so get up first." As he spoke, Li Zhenghang inadvertently glanced at Xiao Feiyan's delicate face, he had never looked at her carefully before, and at this time he quieted down and took a look, this woman is quite beautiful, and she is feminine in her quietness, no wonder she will become the bait of the power and sex trade.
Fate can't help herself, but she has to go deep into the sea of suffering at a young age, and this girl is also pitiful. Through a few days of contact, Li Zhenghang can see that although she is from a poor background, she is kind and reliable, has a lot of experience and is smart, and she is more than enough to be Wanning's personal maid.
Li Zhenghang continued: "Everyone knows right and wrong. There is no need for punishment, and there is no need to be so severe. It was Wanning who saved you halfway, presumably you have some fate with this girl, and you will take care of Wanning in a down-to-earth manner in the future. You don't love glory and wealth, although you are just a maid in the house, you can choose your own marriage in the future, and one day find someone you like and end your big things. ”
Xiao Feiyan was quite moved in her heart, and finally someone thought about herself, although she had only known each other for a few days, she was almost an irrelevant person.
She said gratefully: "Thank you master, in the past, slaves and maids were also so serious about their life's events." It's just that after experiencing so many things, it's too difficult to get what you want, with a background like a slave, where do you dare to hope for any happiness! How many years later, now it's time to take care of Miss Wanning, and it's my luck that someone is destined to accept me. If not, Miss Wanning is the destination of the slave maid in this life, and the slave and maid will definitely repay the great kindness of the lord with loyalty. ”
After Li Zhenghang was silent for a while, he said: "It is easy for people to accept their fate when they are middle-aged, how many people can accept their fate at your age?" No matter how bleak the future is, we must have good wishes. You don't have to blame yourself for today's events, and there is nothing else to do. ”
Xiao Feiyan leaned over: "Yes, the slave and maid are retired." ”
Xiao Feiyan came out of the study, walked around the long corridor, and saw the Wanning sisters squatting there with their heads down, looking at something intently. She walked over and saw two dead little swallows lying quietly on the ground. It's really pitiful, two little lives ended like this. The sisters buried their heads deeply, their hearts ached, and they kept gently stroking the little swallow with their soft little hands.
"Miss Wanning!" Xiao Feiyan called softly. Wan Ning raised her head and looked over, her eyes teary-eyed.
"Let's go find a quiet place in the suburbs and bury them and let them be buried in the ground, shall we?" Xiao Feiyan suggested.
Wan Ning responded: "Well, okay. ”
Xiao Feiyan brought a bamboo basket and carefully packed the two little swallows. The three of them walked together towards the outskirts and found a large tree in a sparsely populated area. Xiao Feiyan pointed to the tree and said, "Let's bury them here, right?" ”
With the concerted efforts of the three of them, the two piles of tombs were completed in a short time, and Wanying also put flowers in front of the tomb. In the season of flowers, the poor little swallow could not break free from the arrangement of fate and left the world forever. The sisters were sad all the way back, and Wan Ning opened her mouth first: "Sister Feiyan, where do you say Xiaoyanzi will go?" ”
"They, swallows are our human friends, and even if they die, they will surely become stars in the sky and watch over us at all times, and when the moon and stars come out at night, they will see them, and the stars will smile at us when they wink." Xiao Feiyan originally wanted to comfort the two sisters, but when she thought of the two dead little swallows, she couldn't help but feel sad again, "The poor little swallows must be smiling when they leave." ”
Wan Ning looked at the sky, her hands clasped in front of her chest.
Xiao Feiyan saw that the two children were so kind, and she was convinced that she had not followed the wrong master. Especially with Miss Wanning, she is so close to her, but she always feels that she is not so harmonious with Wanying, who is a few years older than Wanning, and her arrogant face when she first sees her is really uncomfortable. She judged with her limited life experience that Li Wanying had some vanity between her eyebrows and eyes, and she was afraid that she would not be a fuel-efficient lamp when she grew up. She wondered how two sisters, who were born in the same family, could be so different.
Xiao Feiyan knows that she is just a slave, it is better to be more restrained, Li Wanying can't get used to herself, she is also half a master. Fleeing to this point, "people have to bow their heads under the eaves". She will not have the slightest disrespect for this eldest lady of the Li family, let alone argue with her.
Xiao Feiyan is now determined to follow Wan Ning, although Wan Ying is occasionally unfriendly to her, Xiao Feiyan can always deal with it calmly. Gradually, Li Zhenghang and his wife trusted her, Wanning relied on this big sister very much, and Wanying could happily surround her all day long.
Since Wan Ning worshiped Zhiyang as her master, because of the matter of apprenticeship, Li Zhenghang confessed to keep it secret, so he rarely brought many subordinates, only Xiao Feiyan took her and Gao Ziang, the two little guys, to often go back and forth between Yinwu Mountain and Chang'an City, humbly seeking advice from Zhiyang and studying hard. Zhiyang almost taught him, Wanning was young, and he was already good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Li Zhenghang saw that his youngest daughter had learned a lot, and he was very grateful to Zhiyang in his heart, and he also thought about bringing gifts to visit him in person. But just like he once thought, Zhiyang is not an ordinary person, if he is touched by someone with a heart, he will frame himself for befriending his henchmen. This person didn't even give Li Shimin's face, so did King Qin know about it?
So he only asked Wanning to bring a heavy gift to thank him, and it was at this time that Zhiyang learned about Wanning's family. Of course, Zhiyang understands Li Zhenghang's thoughts, and this move is also quite in line with Zhiyang's intentions, just because he doesn't want to get involved in the party dispute.
