Chapter 161: Flowing Water Falls and Flowers Disappear in Spring
Niu Dan staggered to the door of Gong Juren's room, raised his hand and tapped a few times.
There was no movement.
After glancing around, Niu Dan pushed the door in, and closed the door casually.
The palace people are really not there.
Niu Dan didn't know what this Gong Mink Temple had asked him to do in his room.
Since he had told him so, he had to do the same.
Niu Dandan's heart has always been worried about the safety of His Majesty the Emperor.
But all he can do is worry.
Gong Ju is the chief of the house, and the room is not small.
The entrance hall is spacious, and on the left-hand side, there is a bedroom, and on the right-hand side, there is a study.
Niu Dan Dan sat in the main hall for a while when he heard a knock on the door.
He cleared his throat and pretended to shout, "Come in!"
It was the people from the imperial dining room who brought the food.
Niu Dandan, who was cross-legged by Erlang, motioned to put the food box on the table, and waved his hand.
When the door was closed again, Niu Dan gently patted his chest.
He crept to the door, put his ear to the door and listened for a moment, then quietly plugged in the deadbolt.
After plugging the door, Niu Dandan flicked his sleeves and swaggered towards the palace man's bedroom.
I ate a lot in the imperial dining room, and a wave of tiredness went straight to my head.
He wanted to sleep for a while.
After entering the bedroom, Niu Dandan yawned twice in a row, rubbed the tears that flowed out of the corners of his eyes because of sleepiness, and fell on the bed of the palace man as soon as he tilted his body.
The sleepy cow balls can't be taken care of so much, so let's sleep Meimei first.
Anyway, the door has been plugged in, and even if the Lord of the Gong Mink Temple comes back, he can still hear the movement.
Besides, he even lay on His Majesty's bed of the emperor, just the bed of a big internal manager, and he said that he would help the Lord of the Gong Mink Temple warm the bed first.
The cow balls on the pillow fell asleep heartlessly.
This night, I slept until dark.
Cow Dan Dan has never slept so comfortably during the day.
Stretching on the bed, he got up from the bed and sat on the bed in a daze.
The room was already dark, and the awakened cow Dan Dan rubbed his swollen head and walked to the outer hall.
It was only after a few steps that he realized that something was wrong.
There was light in the hall.
Niu Dandan was shocked.
It's broken, it's broken, it must be that the palace mink temple is back, but isn't this door plugged in? Why hasn't there been any movement?
Niu Dan slapped his thigh and hurriedly ran out.
After running to the main hall, I saw three people sitting under the lamp in front of the table, preparing to eat.
What they ate was the dishes that the people in the imperial dining room had brought them.
The man who was facing the cow egg was still holding the wine jug and tilting his head and pouring wine into his mouth.
And the other two turned out to be eunuchs.
Niu Dan guessed in his heart, could it be that these were the guests of the Gong Mink Temple?
Without waiting for Niu Dan Dan to speak, the man who was drinking put down the wine jug in his hand and smiled at one of them: "Si go, that little guy is awake!"
Si went to look back, stood up with a smile and greeted, "Dandan, come here!"
Seeing Si Qu's face by candlelight, Niu Dandan was stunned for a moment, and then ran over, knelt on his knees and kowtowed repeatedly: "The little one has seen Your Majesty!"
Then he hugged Si to his thigh and cried: "Your Majesty, where have you been today?" But I was so worried that I heard that there was a fire in the Queen Mother's bedroom, so I hurriedly ran over to see it, because I knew that you went to the Queen Mother's place. But halfway through, I was stopped by the palace mink temple, I asked you where you were, and he didn't tell me, and then he took me to the imperial study. ”
Niu Dandan wiped a handful of tears and said: "Your Majesty, Gong Mink Temple took away the box containing the jade seal of the country, I am so big, I can't stop him, and then he ordered me to come to his room and wait, I don't know what he wants me to do, but I have to listen to his orders, so I have to wait here." ”
Si went to look at the cow egg bamboo tube pouring beans and said such a long list of words, chuckling.
Not allowing him to speak, Chen Fangzao sneered and said, "I said Niu Dandan, when we came in, you slept more soundly than anyone else, are you really worried about Your Majesty's safety?"
Niu Dandan wiped his eyes again, pouted and looked at Chen Fangzao and said, "Who are you? Don't you know the word exhausted? I am, I am ......."
After a few mouthfuls of chopsticks, Chen Fangzao frowned and looked at Niu Dan Dan and said, "What is it?
Then he swallowed the bear's paw in his mouth with great difficulty, and he pointed to the plate containing the bear's paw with his chopsticks and asked, "You asked the imperial dining room to make this bear's paw?"
Niu Dan Dan glared at Chen Fang and no longer paid attention to him.
Chen Fangzao shook his head and said: "Good things are good things, but it's a pity that I'm blind, compared to what my second senior brother did, it's far worse." Besides, this bear's paw has to be eaten hot, and it will be a little chewy after it is cold, looking at your age, I guess I don't have much knowledge, I don't blame you. ”
Turning his head to look at Si Qu, he said, "Your Majesty, I ......"
Si Qu chuckled, looked at Chen Fangzao and said, "Mr. Chen, he is still a child, and besides, I am not his closest relative. ”
Chen Fangzao picked up another wine jug and poured the wine for Si, and then turned his head to look at Sima Ruolan, who had changed his name to Ma Lanhua.
Ma Lanhua waved her hand lightly and did not speak.
Si Qu looked down at Niu Dandan, who was still kneeling, rubbed his head and said, "You get up quickly, I'm not His Majesty the Emperor, I'm called Si Qu, just an ordinary person." ”
Niu Dandan was stunned for a moment, stretched his neck and stared his eyes round, and looked at Si Qu's face again through the light and said suspiciously: "Aren't you Your Majesty?"
Then he looked at the clothes that Si Qu was wearing, scratched his head, and the thought turned in his head.
Could it be that this person was found by the Gong Mink Temple?
And then......
Thinking of this, he who was still kneeling kowtowed again and again: "A few spare your life, spare your life, I am a person from the Gong Mink Temple, I don't know anything, I haven't seen anything, I can't remember Your Majesty's appearance, I'll still brush the toilet in the future!"
Si Qu was stunned for a moment, puzzled: "What are you talking nonsense?"
Chen Fangzao burst out laughing and said to Si Qu: "This kid's brain is turning very fast, the child can be taught, the child can be taught!"
Niu Dandan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a sad face: "I don't know anything, I'm stupid, I can't even write my own name, don't kill me." ”
Si Qu, who understood what Niu Dan was thinking, snorted and said: "Hurry up, don't think nonsense, there are a lot of things going on in the palace today, in order to save my life, I will be invisible in the future, there is nothing real or false emperor, and I don't know what you have in your head?"
Niu Dandan, who got up from the ground, wondered, "Are you really Your Majesty?"
Si Qu nodded, then shook his head and said, "It used to be, but now it's no longer true." ”
With a light sigh, he patted Niu Dandan's shoulder and said, "Can I trust you?"
"Trust me, believe me, believe what?"
Niu Dan was stunned for a moment, then took two steps back, and hesitated: "Are you going to kill me if you don't believe me?"
After finishing speaking, he lay on the ground again, wept bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, you have to believe me, if you don't believe me, I won't be able to live!"
Ma Lanhua sneered and laughed, then covered her mouth with her hand, looked at Si and asked, "De'er, is this the palace man who has found you to serve you?" I don't think his brain is very bright!"
Si Qu nodded and said, "It's okay, after following me for a while, I have recognized a few crosses." ”
Niu Dandan raised his head and sniffled and said, "I already know one hundred and twenty-one words, and I can write eighty-nine words." ”
Chen Fangzao glanced at Ma Lanhua, who was sitting on his left, and coughed lightly and said, "Don't say that I didn't remind you two, in the future, you should change this title as soon as possible, so as not to have an accident." ”
Ma Lanhua's face was slightly red, and she let out a light "um".
Si Qu nodded and said, "What Mr. Chen reminds us is that we just pay attention." ”
Then he said to Niu Dandan: "Niu Dandan, I'm leaving the palace, are you willing to go with me?"
Niu Dan got up from the ground, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty wants to go out of Gong, are you in a hurry, if you are in a hurry, I will look for the toilet night pot in the room of the Gong Mink Temple......
Si Qu frowned slightly, glared at Niu Dandan and said, "It's not that out of Gong, it's to leave this palace and never come back!"
Niu Dan was stunned for a moment.
Chen Fangzao grabbed a chicken leg and was about to take a bite, when he thought of Ma Lanhua sitting next to him, he was a little embarrassed, handed over the chicken leg in his hand and said, "Why don't you eat chicken legs!"
Ma Lanhua shook her head slightly and said, "Thank you, this one is a little greasy, I don't really want to eat it!"
Chen Fangzao glanced at the table, shook his head and said, "Any dish is quite greasy, but it is also thanks to Niu Dan Dan that people make a few meat dishes, otherwise with the physical strength of the two of you, you can't afford to toss." Let's take a few bites!"
Then he handed the chicken leg in his hand to Ma Lanhua.
Ma Lanhua hesitated for a moment and took the chicken leg from Chen Fangzao's hand.
Chen Fangzao's fingers stiffened slightly, his face was a little unnatural, he didn't look at Ma Lanhua, but grabbed the chicken butt, put it in his mouth and chewed it.
He didn't expect a woman's hand to be so smooth.
It was so slippery that he didn't taste much when he ate his favorite chicken butt.
Here, Si Qu has already briefly told Niu Dan about what happened to him and his escape plan.
Niu Dan sat on the ground, and turned his head to look at Ma Lanhua, this good-looking fake eunuch, it turned out that she was Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the dynasty.
In the eyes of all men, the princess is actually more attractive than His Majesty the Emperor.
Even if Niu Dandan is a little eunuch, he is no exception.
After all, he used to be a boy too.
Niu Dan Dan has a secret, and it is because of this secret that he was sent by his family to the palace as a eunuch.
This secret was only known after he entered the palace.
Si Qu asked softly, "If you don't want to go with me, it's okay, but I hope you don't tell anyone about tonight, otherwise it will bring you trouble in the future." ”
Niu Dandan scratched his head, squatted on the ground and was silent for a moment, took out a piece of paper from his arms, handed it to Si and said, "Your Majesty, look at this." ”
Si Qu frowned slightly, sighed casually and said to Niu Dandan: "You can call me sir, don't mention the word Your Majesty again!"
The cow egg deflated his mouth.
Taking the piece of paper from Niu Dandan's hand, Si went to unfold it and looked at it, the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose, raised his eyes to Niu Dan Dan and asked, "Is it what you wrote today?" Yes, yes, no small progress!"
Niu Dandan smiled happily, twisted the corner of his clothes and whispered: "It's a pity that the round painting is flattened!"
As if he had guessed what Niu Dan was thinking, Si went to fold the paper, put it in his arms and asked, "Is this a gift for me?"
Niu Dandan shook his head and said, "No, this character is so ugly, I will send it to Your Majesty when I write it beautifully in the future...... Sir, a word is ready!"
Si went around and grabbed the wine glass, took a sip and said, "You and I are separated from each other from now on, how can you give it?"
Niu Dandan's eyes were half open and his mouth was half open, and he asked, "What kind of heaven is on the other side, didn't I go with Mr.?"
Some of the wine in the cup spilled, Si went to squeeze the wine glass hard, looked at Niu Dan Dan and asked, "What? Are you going to leave for me?"
"yes, didn't you ask me?"
Niu Dan Dan raised his eyes and looked at a few dishes on the table, licked his lips and asked, "It's just, it's just ......"
"Just what?"
Niu Dandan asked in a low voice, "Mr. Si, do you know how to farm?"
"Farming?"
Si Qu wondered, "You mean farming, why do you ask?"
Chen Fangzao, who was cutting the elbow meat with a dagger, said: "This kid is afraid of starving to death with you, in his eyes, farming is a necessary means of livelihood." ”
With the tip of the dagger, he picked a small piece of half-fat and half-thin elbow meat, and Chen Fang sent it to Ma Lanhua early.
Ma Lanhua hesitated for a moment, but still used chopsticks to pick the piece of meat from the tip of the dagger, and ate it in small bites.
For some reason, she was a little afraid of Chen Fangzao.
Even if she knew that this person had no hostility towards her.
Chen Fangzao used chopsticks to clip a piece of meat with skin for himself, and said to Si Qu: "You can eat too, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it after eating, and after that, let's study how to leave." ”
Si went to think about it, as if he was just thinking about escaping for his life, but he never thought about what he should rely on to survive after escaping.
He had never been worried about eating and drinking, but he realized that there was a huge problem at this time.
Chen Fang saw that Si went and didn't move his chopsticks, so he greeted Niu Dandan: "Don't stick there, the four of us, you are the youngest, who will eat if you don't eat fragrant? Come and eat, don't worry, you won't be hungry in the future." ”
Then he said to Si Qu: "If you are to support your family, this matter is not difficult, but it is not as good as the palace." You may not be able to adapt to it, but one day you will adapt to it as people with two eyes and one mouth, no different. ”
Si Qu was silent for a moment and said, "Presumably, the national teacher has thought about it for me. ”
Chen Fangzao snorted lightly and said, "My master has a lot of things to think about for you, it's just that you don't fight. ”
Ma Lanhua frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "It's like this now, why should Mr. Chen be sarcastic about us?"
Chen Fangzao, who wanted to refute, sighed lightly, shook his head, sandwiched a large piece of bear paw between the cow balls that were already sitting on his right side and said, "Come, you can taste it too, is it delicious?"
Niu Dan Dan grinned and looked at Si Go.
Si Qu nodded with a smile.
Niu Dan took a big bite and chewed hard.
Chen Fangzao chuckled and said, "How is it?
Niu Dandan nodded again and again, and said vaguely: "Good seven (eat), good seven (eat)!"
Chen Fang took a sip of wine and said slowly: "It's the same plate of bear's paws, the cow and the eggs say they are delicious, but I say that the taste is a little worse, why? In the future, I'm afraid that the two of you will think that there are so many kinds of unpalatable foods in this world, why don't people choose to eat some good ones? ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Niu Dan Dan and said, "Right?"
As soon as he finished eating the bear paw that Chen Fangzao had sandwiched for him, he looked at the cow balls on the plate and said "ah", and then said: "How do I know so many big truths, I only know that when I first entered the palace as a eunuch, I only felt that I ate better on weekdays than at home during the New Year's holidays." But after less than half a year, I felt that the food was okay, and it was not as good as it used to be...... Mr. Si, Mr. Si asked me to accompany him to dinner, and I felt that this meal was really delicious, but there was less meat. ”
Si Qu chuckled and said, "It's because there are too many bad things these days, and I don't have much appetite, but I let you suffer with me." ”
After speaking, he glanced at the table, and did not find the chopsticks used to pick up the vegetables, so he took the chopsticks he was holding from Niu Dandan's hand, sandwiched a bear paw between Niu Dandan, and said softly: "Eat, you may not be able to eat it again in the future." ”
Niu Dan grinned and said: "It's okay, I'm not so picky, I don't die of hunger, and when I grow up, I'll make money to buy delicious food for my husband." ”
After speaking, he peeked at Ma Lanhua, who was sitting opposite, and whispered, "There is also Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
Ma Ruolan smiled: "Call me Mrs. Ma in the future." ”
Chen Fang came to a sentence for no reason, "Is it a horse with an ape?"
Ma Lanhua put down the chopsticks in her hand and said softly: "I'm full, you can use it slowly!"
Chen Fang knew that he had said the wrong thing, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
There was only the sound of cow balls laboriously chewing bear paws.
Si went to take a sip of wine and said to Ma Lanhua: "If my aunt is tired, let's go inside and rest for a while, it's just that the bed ......."
Ma Lanhua shook her head lightly and said, "It's all in such a situation, what else do I have to dislike?"
After speaking, he frowned slightly, glanced at Chen Fangzao, who was eating meat, and walked towards the bedroom.
Si went to look at Chen Fangzao and smiled bitterly: "Why does Mr. Chen make my aunt unhappy?"
Knowing what Si went to call "aunt" again, Chen Fangzao took a sip of wine and said, "I'm afraid that she won't be able to let go, and something big will happen in the future." ”
Si Qu shook his head lightly and said, "Mr. Chen, Sima Ruolan is dead, and there is only Ma Lanhua who is alive now, what else can you put down and can't let go?"
Chen Fangzao patted Niu Dandan's shoulder and said, "Eat more, eat enough, eat whatever you want, stand up if you can't reach it, do you hear?"
Niu Dan nodded, stood up and brought the plate containing the bear's paw to his side.
Si went to whisper: "Follow me in the future, you still have to have the rules for eating, have you heard?"
When he heard the cow balls that had just picked up a piece of bear paws, he put down his chopsticks again.
Chen Fangzao pressed Niu Dandan's arm, glared at Si and said, "Is there anyone else at this table?" When she was here, I didn't let Niu Dan eat like this, isn't it because in Niu Dandan's eyes, you are not an outsider? You don't like this bear paw, and I don't love it, what's wrong with him eating it in front of him? Have you ever read a book and practiced etiquette?"
Si Qu didn't want to argue with Chen Fangzao.
Unexpectedly, Niu Dandan stood up, saluted Si Qu and said, "Sir, I was wrong, but Mr. Chen is right, in my heart, Mr. is a person I am very close to." ”
Si Qu nodded and said, "Eat, eat whatever you like!"
Chen Fangzao took a sip of wine and said, "Let me ask you, if you say that you live in the world in order to leave a bloodline for your Sima clan, but what about her?"
Si went and asked, "Then you still save her?"
Chen Fangzao said: "What? Don't you want me to save her? I saved her only for a while, can I save her for the rest of my life? This person has to have some hope to live, what do you say her hope is?"
Si went to be silent.
At this time, Ma Lanhua walked over from the bedroom, stared at Chen Fangzao and asked, "Why did you save me?"
Chen Fangzao didn't look at Ma Lanhua, he tore off the neck of the chicken and said while gnawing: "The monks of the White Horse Temple said that saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, and I will make a floating slaughter." ”
Ma Lanhua stared at Chen Fangzao for a moment, and then said in a cold voice: "Then your floating slaughter has been built, I can go and die!"
Chen Fangzao waved his hand and said, "Feel free, don't die in front of me, but I can remind you, don't burden him." ”
Niu Dan Dan only buried his head in eating meat, trying not to make any noise.
Ma Lanhua asked again, "May I ask why Mr. Chen wanted to save me?"
Chen Fangzao was a little impatient and said, "Didn't I tell you? I can't die without help!"
It was impossible for him to mention the little junior brother, although it was indeed because of the little junior brother that he saved Ma Lanhua.
Ma Lanhua's eyes were a little dim, and she bowed to Chen Fangzao and said: "Ma Lanhua has thanked Mr. Chen for saving his life, please rest assured, I, Ma Lanhua, and the Yuan family have a common enmity, although I am just a woman, I will not do anything treacherous." ”
Chen Fangzao pondered for a moment, looked up at Ma Lanhua and asked, "You are a mother!"
Ma Lanhua nodded and said, "It's because I'm a mother that I choose to live, do you understand?"
Chen Fangzao shook his head and said, "I don't understand, but it's ......."
He smiled at the corner of his mouth, "I believe in you!"
Ma Lanhua was stunned for a moment, her lips moved slightly, but she just turned around.
At this time, Niu Dan gently tugged at the sleeve of Si Qu's coat and asked, "Sir, why did you appear in the room of the Gong Mink Temple? I remember that the door was plugged in, how did you get in?"
Si went to look at Chen Fangzao and said, "You still have to ask Mr. Chen, until we settle down, we all have to obey Mr. Chen." ”
Chen Fangzao pinched Niu Dandan's face lightly, and said with a smile: "You little fool, the door is plugged in, but what about the window?"
Niu Dandan pouted and said: "Those who don't go through the door are not good people, where could I have thought that there would be thieves in the palace?"
Chen Fang was speechless for a while, and scolded with a smile: "Good boy, you dare to call me a thief!"
At this time, Si Qu also asked: "By the way, Mr. Chen, you haven't told me yet, why is Gong Mink Temple a safe place here?"
The trio stayed on the roof until after sunset.
The Queen Mother's bedroom has also been burned to the ground.
Ma Lanhua looked at the ruins and cried again.
Then Chen Fang had already taken aim at a place where no one was there and took the two of them to the house.
Si Qu said that Chen Fang had already put Si Qu's arm on his shoulder and flew down.
But when it came to Ma Lanhua, he was in trouble.
Later, Ma Lanhua told Chen Fangzao how to bring her to the roof and how to bring her down.
Chen Fang hesitated, he couldn't knock her out.
Ma Lanhua closed her eyes and airway, are you going to make me faint?
Chen Fang had already carried Ma Lanhua off the roof again.
It's just that his heart is beating much faster than when he came.
Later, he led the two to the palace man's room.
Chen Fangzao took a sip of wine and sighed: "Because he agreed." ”
