Chapter 8 The first beauty in the capital can't sit still
The two ink-black iron lions at the entrance of the General's Mansion are hideous with fangs, and there is a murderous aura in their majesty! The guards of the courtyard were also not slacking off at all, with a tiger striped knife hanging from their waists, watching the carriage that slowly passed by.
When he came to an inconspicuous small door, there was an old man who looked like a butler standing at the door, and he waved when he saw the carriage coming.
Ling Zhiqiao followed last, and from the courtyard she entered, she could discern the lower position, this general's mansion is so big, let alone the palace.
Under the guidance of the old housekeeper, I passed through an arched door with the words "Dream Garden" written on it, and then passed a lotus pond to a courtyard with an attic.
The old housekeeper reported outside: "General, they have arrived." The old general Xiao Qian had been waiting for a long time, and called softly: "Your Highness." "Hurry out the door.
Twilight Yunhan stopped Xiao Qian's saluting hand, "The general doesn't have to be polite. ”
"Your Royal Highness is safe, and the old minister will rest assured, but the prince has been transposed, and he must be more cautious after returning to the palace."
Twilight Yunhan was also a little solemn: "As long as the mother concubine is fine, the other generals don't have to worry." ”
"Your Highness, what about the person you are talking about?" Xiao Qian looked a little anxious.
Ling Zhiqiao followed behind Du Yunhan and was blocked tightly, from the moment she entered the room, she looked at Xiao Qian, worthy of being the founding general, with a red face and a brave wind all over her body.
Ling Zhiqiao slowly moved out from behind Twilight Yunhan: "Uncle, Qiao'er is here. ”
The old general Xiao Qian saw a small guy flash out behind the second prince Mu Yunhan, who was clearly a man, and he was still a little hesitant when he walked into the details.
Ling Zhiqiao expected that his outfit had confused the old man, and his face was really dirty, so he looked around, walked straight to the table, poured some water from the teapot, washed his face, wiped it with his sleeve again, and then walked in front of Xiao Qian, and leaned his face over, "Take a look at it again this time." ”
Xiao Qian took a closer look, and there was a little bit of Mengzhi's charm, and his hands immediately trembled slightly and grabbed Ling Zhiqiao: "You are really Mengzhi's daughter, my niece." ”
"If it's fake, Qiao'er, meet your uncle." The original owner's tears were shallow, and Ling Zhiqiao was also surging with her thoughts, and she couldn't hold back her tears.
The old general Xiao Qian's eyes instantly wet: "Over the years, the old man has been sending people to look for him, but I didn't expect you to be the only one left." ”
Although Twilight Yunhan had told Xiao Qian the ins and outs, he did not say that Ling Ge Lao was still alive.
"In the future, the General's Mansion will be your home, but I pity your father."
Ling Zhiqiao was held in Xiao Qian's arms, she peeked at Du Yunhan, why didn't King Yu tell his uncle that my father was still alive.
After Xiao Qian's emotion, he regained some calm, thanked Du Yunhan again, and called the old housekeeper and asked him to call Mama Qin.
The waiting kung fu Du Yunhan and Xiao Qian were discussing something in the courtyard, and Ling Zhiqiao was not easy to go over and eavesdrop. After a long while, the two discussed properly, and Mu Yunhan seemed to be about to leave, so he took a few steps and paused, then turned around and came to Ling Zhiqiao.
"Miss Ling, didn't you say what you want to do, have you finished painting?"
Ling Zhiqiao took out the drawings drawn in the Golden Camel Temple from his arms and handed them to Du Yunhan: "I thought King Yu had forgotten, it seems that you are not so bad, then it will be troublesome, the sooner the better." ”
Mu Yunhan took it, looked at Ling Zhiqiao, and told him in a gentle tone: "Don't be reckless in the General's Mansion in the future, this is no better than the outside, there are naturally more rules in the Mansion, take care of your mouth, don't always talk nonsense, your words and deeds represent the General's Mansion." ”
"King Yu, when did you become so verbose, I'm not used to it."
After hearing what Ling Zhiqiao said, the old general Xiao Qian almost stood up in fright, and hurriedly bowed his hand: "Your Highness, calm your anger, this kid is not sensible." ”
Twilight Yunhan just smiled faintly, not annoyed at all: "When the things are ready, someone will send them to you, and as for the things that General Xiao and I are looking for, we have found out the location, and I will take you into the palace." ”
After Du Yunhan left, Ling Zhiqiao was still a little disappointed in her heart, Xiao Qian saw that Mama Qin was coming, and immediately introduced Ling Zhiqiao: "Qiao'er, this courtyard is where your mother lived in the boudoir, this is Mama Qin, your mother's former maid, let Mama serve you in the future!" ”
Mama Qin, who was kind and kind, was stunned when she heard what the old general said, and her first reaction was to be startled, but then she cried with joy.
Looking at the little guy in front of him carefully, he couldn't stop his tears and said, "It's my young lady's child, yes, it's really like." ”
Mama Qin's words moved Ling Zhiqiao to cry again, she couldn't tell whether it was her own crying or the memory of the original owner that made her cry, in short, she didn't sleep much this night, Mama Qin seemed to have endless words to her.
Since the disappearance of the young lady, in addition to taking the new subordinates in the house and teaching some rules, the rest is to clean the backyard where the young lady once lived. A flower, a tree, a grass and a house, are all her ways to commemorate Miss.
Mama Qin didn't care if Ling Zhiqiao remembered it or not, she explained the various relationships in the house in one night like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, Ling Zhiqiao listened and thought, if Mama Qin must have been a master of making mind maps in her previous life, let her summarize it like this, everything will be clear.
Miss Xiao of the General's Mansion, Xiao Qinxue narcissistically admired the beauty in the mirror, Yingying smiled, and she picked out a jade hairpin and inserted it lightly in the bun.
In a few days, it will be the day to set a concubine for the crown prince, but she is going to take the lead, but it is a pity that the second prince Du Yunhan has to go out to find a wild woman, and she will die outside the palace.
Xiao Qinxue was appreciating it and couldn't extricate herself, and the maid Ling'er hurriedly ran in.
"Miss, I seem to have seen someone in the backyard last night? The attic was also lit up, and Mama Qin was called over. ”
Xiao Qinxue frowned: "I'll inquire carefully." She looked in the mirror again, got up and went to her mother Lu's yard, Lu also learned about this, there was no news in the general's mansion to hide from her, and the master did not spend the night in her room last night.
Mama Qin was Xiao Mengzhi's personal maid back then, that was the old man in the house, since Xiao Mengzhi disappeared, only this Mama Qin went to clean the attic in the backyard, and even the master rarely went, for fear of seeing things and thinking about things.
Who did the master meet? Lu became uneasy.
The disappearance of Xiao Mengzhi's family is a pain in the master's heart, but it is a thorn in Lu's heart.
Xiao Qinxue entered the house with her front foot, and there was a small servant outside the door with her back foot: "The housekeeper said just now that the master will have important things to announce, and he must not be absent." ”
"Got it."
Seeing her mother's uneasy expression, Xiao Qinxue was relieved: "Mother, I have asked Ling'er to go and listen again, but I just said that I met a few men." ”
"Men? Then why did you call Mama Qin over? ”
In the past few years, the old general Xiao Qian, in addition to his cronies, has almost changed all the subordinates in the mansion, he must have suspected that there are spies in the mansion, Xiao Mengzhi has been missing for so long, but only Mama Qin has been left.
Is she still alive? Thinking of this, the Lu family couldn't sit still.
"Mother, do you know what is important?"
Lu Shi was worried in his heart, and said casually: "I'll know when I go, when the time comes, you can see my face and act, and I can't let the master bring unknown people into the mansion." ”
Xiao Qinxue completely inherited the character of the Lu family, and there was no room for others in her eyes, especially in the General's Mansion, she stroked a strand of green silk hanging down in front of her bun: "I don't care who it is, no one wants to stand in my way." ”
Lu stared at Xiao Qinxue, still uneasy in his heart.
The two walked to the main hall, and saw the old general Xiao Qian wearing a tiger-striped purple and gold robe, looking extraordinary, majestic, full of spring, very happy.
The table in the hall was already full of wine and food, all of which were fresh flowers that I had never seen before.
"Qin Xue, come over quickly, today I specially found the most famous restaurant in Kyoto for my father, and customized the best wine and food."
"Master, what is it?" Lu asked in a hurry.
General Xiao stroked his palms and laughed, his voice was loud: "Mama Qin, is Miss ready?" ”
Miss!
Xiao Qinxue and Lu were shocked at the same time.
Mama Qin answered, and then the bead curtain behind the screen sounded, Ling Zhiqiao came out, wearing a transparent silk silk dress under the goose yellow silk satin, setting off her light waist, clouds of green buns, face like peach, pink lips with a faint smile, Xu Bu walked to the table, Mama Qin followed,
Xiao Qinxue's stunned eyes didn't turn, and the chopsticks in her hand fell on the table, how could she be a woman? And a good-looking woman! Compared with her Xiao Qinxue, it is not inferior at all.
How can there be such a beautiful person in Kyoto?
Lu Shi was drinking tea, but when she looked up, she saw Ling Zhiqiao walking out, the teacup in her hand fell to the ground without holding it steadily, her face showed a look of horror, she felt that she was dazzled, and it was clearly Xiao Mengzhi standing in front of her.
After looking closely, sure that it was not, Lu's heart felt a little calm, and he found a step for himself: "Why is this tea so hot today, don't you hurry up and clean it up." ”
The old general Xiao Qian didn't care about her panic at all, and said to the Lu family: "Is this kid particularly similar to Mengzhi?" ”
Lu replied embarrassedly: "Master, it is indeed a little similar. ”
"Haha, she's Mengzhi's child."
"The old man has finally found her all these years, and she lives up to expectations."
Lu's steady heart rose to his throat again: "That sister Mengzhi? ”
Xiao Qian's expression darkened in an instant: "It's no longer there." Lu's heart finally stopped hanging.
Xiao Qian took Ling Zhiqiao's hand, "Qiao'er, you sit next to the old man." And motioned for Xiao Qinxue to give way, all the expressions of the Lu family's mother and daughter did not escape Ling Zhiqiao's eyes, and Mama Qin pulled her to cry all night last night.
So from now on, every new person she knows, Ling Zhiqiao can match the number in the mind map that Mama Qin told her.
The Lu family is just a concubine, and the style is not small, I heard Mama Qin say that the old general's wife died of illness within a year of marrying the Lu family. Moreover, Ling Ge Lao told him that the Lu family was a master of stirring up trouble.
It's just that the Lu family gave Ling Zhiqiao the feeling like a snake shadow in a cup.
