Chapter 62: Breaking into the Old Mansion alone
Yu Wenyao's hands hanging on both sides were clenched into fists in his sleeves. They all look down on this king, and when this king ascends to the throne, the trembling when you prostrate at your feet is exciting to think about!
Out of the palace gate, the Marquis of Yongchang went directly to the carriage and returned to the Hou Mansion, after separating from the three princes, he felt even more guilty about his daughter, he was also a marquis, and he held real power in his hands, why should he be coerced by an unfavored prince.
At this moment, he only wanted to see his poor daughter, and tell her that her father would do justice to her in front of everyone.
……
Xiao Wenjun didn't go to Wenyuanfang today, she waited all night in Shizi's Mansion last night, and she didn't hear the familiar sound of climbing over the wall, and she was a little restless until now, I wonder if something happened to Wang Jiuyuan?
"Spring and summer, please come over with my eldest brother." Xiao Wenjun spoke lightly, unable to hear joy and anger.
"No need, big brother, I'll help you bring people here." Xiao Wenqing's joking voice came, "How can my sister thank me?" ”
Xiao Wenjun stood up abruptly and looked outside the courtyard gate, only to see Xiao Wenqing followed by the listless Mingyuan, and his heart suddenly changed, could something have happened?
Seeing this, Xiao Wenqing quipped: "When you see your eldest brother, I am satisfied if you are so anxious." ”
"Why didn't your master come?" Xiao Wenjun ignored his eldest brother's jokes, and only threw a stack of silver tickets to him, so he frowned and asked Mingyuan.
"It's not because of you, my master was locked up by the elder pavilion!" Mingyuan didn't have a good airway, last night's movement, and the people waiting outside the study were all silent. For the sake of the woman in front of him, the master made the old man angry.
"You're here to ask me to save him? It is necessary to have the attitude of asking for others! Xiao Wenjun raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Mingyuan, but his heart was a little peaceful, and it was good that people were fine.
"In spring and summer, change my clothes for me, go to Yuxiu Mansion, and rob people." Xiao Wenjun's voice returned to indifference.
Mingyuan's eyebrows jumped, is the county lord of Lanling so tough and domineering? Yuxiu Mansion is not comparable to the Yongchang Marquis Mansion.
Although the old official position of the cabinet is only the fifth grade, but it is at the core of the power of the Great Qi, all the excerpts of the imperial court must first enter the cabinet, the cabinet first approves and corrects, attaches the draft plan and opinions, and submits it to the emperor, although it is only drafted, it actually has the decision-making power.
Because further up, it is the emperor who reviews and approves it. The status of the elder can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand, and he is one of the most important people in the Great Qi Dynasty.
Even the royal family, when they see their own masters, they also have to be honored as "Wang Ge Lao".
Mingyuan was still standing at the gate of the courtyard in a daze, this Xiao Wenjun had already dressed, and passed by her like a gust of wind, and at the end, "What is the pestle doing there?" Don't hurry up and lead the way! ”
When he raised his eyes, Mingyuan's eyebrows trembled even more, and even his heartbeat was irregular, my aunt and grandmother, I really went to rob people!
Xiao Wenjun has never been dressed up so grandly, the dress is begonia red that can only be worn from the second grade, and the tassels hanging symmetrically to the earlobes on both sides of the hairpin are on both sides of the bun.
I was used to the simple dress of the county lord of Lanling, and secretly slandered my son's eyes in my heart, and the future hostess was not beautiful enough.
Now, Mingyuan only glanced at it, and then he didn't dare to look at it again, the woman in front of him, even the back was graceful and luxurious, and the momentum was compelling, and he didn't dare to look at it directly!
This red dress is a good match for the master!
Thinking of this, Mingyuan followed along.
Xiao Wenjun did not parade on the street with great fanfare like the last time he broke into the yamen, but got into the carriage of the Shizifu, Mingyuan was greatly relieved, fortunately, he knew to save face for the elder pavilion.
The carriage soon arrived outside the main gate of Yuxiu Mansion.
Chun Xia went down to knock on the door, and explained to the guards guarding the door, the county lord of Lanling visited, and the guards politely asked the county lord to wait, turned around and quickly reported to the house.
After a long time, the guards came, the sweat on their faces was not dry, and they looked embarrassed: "Please go back to the county lord, the elder of the pavilion is ill today, and it is inconvenient to receive distinguished guests." ”
The murderous name of the county lord of Lanling, he also heard about it one or two, and he was worried in his heart, today he was just on duty for his good brother, why did he encounter this matter, who to reason with?
Chunxia didn't embarrass him, and passed the words to Xiao Wenjun as they were.
Xiao Wenjun opened the curtain, and expected that the gate of the old mansion was not easy to enter, so he didn't have any extra emotions on his face, so he just got up and got out of the carriage and walked straight to the main entrance.
Seeing this, Mingyuan hurriedly followed, although he knew in his heart that it made no difference whether he followed or not.
"Junior, Lanling County Lord, Xiao Wenjun has come to visit Wang Ge Lao!" Xiao Wenjun's voice is wrapped in part of the internal force, and as long as the people in the house are not deaf, they will definitely be able to hear it.
After waiting for a long time, there was still no movement in the house.
The guards outside the door, their clothes were soaked with sweat, and when the autumn breeze passed, they couldn't help but shiver. The county lord of Lanling won't be mad, right? Will you go under the knife nearby?
Unlike what the guards thought, Xiao Wenjun just stood quietly, with a calm demeanor, as if she was not the one who was ignored.
"Xiao Wenjun, the head of the Xiao family, has come to visit Wang Ge Lao." Xiao Wenjun's breath was restrained, and his voice was raised, "If you don't open the door again, the county lord will kick the door!" ”
Mingyuan was in a hurry, and he didn't know whether to persuade Xiao Wenjun now, or go in to find someone to help, but the main gate of Yuxiu Mansion was open at this time.
Xiao Wenjun raised his feet and walked in, turned back to Mingyuan, who was still pestle, and said, "Do you need this county lord to remind you again?" ”
In this life, he entered Yuxiu Mansion again, but Xiao Wenjun's state of mind was completely different, and the ancestors of the Xiao family also lived here for a period of time.
In fact, she doesn't need Mingyuan to lead the way, the rockery pools, pavilions, flowers and trees, the quiet and elegant atmosphere, familiar and unfamiliar, as if in a different world.
"Please move to the study, the elder Wang Ge is waiting for you." Ming Jing walked over, first glared at Mingyuan, and then said to Xiao Wenjun, his tone was neither humble nor arrogant.
Xiao Wenjun raised his eyebrows slightly, it seems that Wang Jiuyuan has already talked to his father about everything, and closing the door is just a disadvantage for himself, but I don't know what the meaning of doing this is, the lord of this county has always eaten soft rather than hard.
Entering the study, the strong smell of books came to the face, the room was simply furnished, and a couplet was hung on the wall facing the door, "Ten thousand volumes of ancient and modern eternal days, a window dawn to send the passing years." ”
The outer room is a reception room, in addition to the tables and chairs, the eyes are full of bookshelves, all of which are some old books and five classics, and the way of governing the world. It can be seen that Wang Ge Lao is not what the outside world says, relying on his whiskers to pat his horse, but he is a capable minister who has a heart to govern the world.
It seems that rumors cannot be trusted, but seeing is believing.
"Lord Lanling, are you still satisfied with the old man's study?" Seeing that Xiao Wenjun looked at the study for a long time, his eyes seemed to be filled with nostalgia? An unfathomable light flashed in Wang Ge Lao's eyes.
"Wang Ge Lao smiled, how dare the younger generation talk about it." was provoked by someone, Xiao Wenjun was still calm, and smiled modestly.
