Chapter 017: Innocent Involvement
After hearing this, Sima You said in his heart, "It's so fast, this time it may not be possible to ask questions." Then he ordered the servant to entertain the visitor, and went to the guest room himself.
Sima You came to the guest room and found that Wang Guyong was resting, and then walked to the couch and called softly, "Virtuous nephew, have you ever fallen asleep?"
Although Wang Guyong didn't sleep well last night, he didn't feel sleepy now, and now he is just pretending to sleep, and when he heard Sima You call him, he wondered whether to answer.
Seeing that Gu Yong didn't react, Sima You knew that he was pretending to be asleep and ignoring him, so he continued, "The soldiers and horses of the Wang family came from outside the house, saying that they wanted to take Gongzi back, I don't know if Gongzi may be able to withstand bumps?"
This time, Wang Guyong heard that his own soldiers and horses had come to greet him, so he pretended to wake up and asked, "What my uncle said is true?"
"Why did Uncle lie to you?" asked Sima You.
"Thank you, uncle, although the virtuous nephew is delicate and noble, he can still withstand the bump of returning home from this injury. Wang Guyong hurriedly said after getting a positive answer.
After speaking, Wang Guyong wanted to get up, but Sima You saw this and hurriedly signaled left and right to step forward to help.
"Thank you uncle for your kindness, my nephew hurt his arm, and his legs and feet are quite neat, so I'll do it myself." Wang Guyong waved his left hand and retreated from the servant who wanted to come up to help.
When Sima You heard him say this, he motioned for the servant to retreat, and then said, "I have ordered the servant to entertain people in the front hall, and the son will go with me to meet him, how about it?" Sima You had already guessed that Gu Yong had the heart to see his own soldiers and horses earlier, so he took the lead in inviting directly.
"The virtuous nephew has this intention, let's go. "Wang Guyong has stayed and packed up.
Sima You and Wang Guyong walked to the front hall together.
On the way, Sima You asked about yesterday's events again, just as a chat, and the answer he got was no different from that in the morning, obviously Wang Guyong really didn't want to tell him the truth.
The two came to the front hall, and when the officer led by the Wang family saw Gongzi coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his fists to salute, "Xiaguan Wang Lijian has seen Gongzi." ”
"Yes, good. Wang Guyong stretched out one hand to help him stand up.
Everyone greeted in the front hall for a while, and Sima You called someone to prepare a meal to entertain the visitors, but Wang Guyong excused himself and said, "While it's still early, I can still return to the palace today, and the virtuous nephew will leave." ”
Seeing that this was the case, it was not easy to force him to stay, so he hurriedly said, "The guests came from afar, and the hospitality was not good, and I hope that everyone is Haihan." ”
Then he said, "Since the virtuous nephew is leaving, I will order someone to send the virtuous nephew on a ride." ”
"There is no need for hospitality when the subordinates suddenly bother, let alone Haihan, thank you uncle for his kindness, the Wang family army can protect the safety of the virtuous nephew, and the uncle will not send it away. Wang Guyong continued.
With that, Wang Guyong led the people of the Wang family to prepare to leave.
"Virtuous nephew and stay, the little girl has disappeared, how should this marriage be handled? What do you think?" Sima You remembered that there was still an engagement to keep them.
"What the uncle said is very true, but this matter must be allowed to go back to report to the father, what should I do, after the father made up his mind, he immediately sent someone to inform the uncle, and asked the uncle to wait a few days. When Wang Guyong heard Sima You's words, he stopped and turned around to answer.
Sima You saw Gu Yong say this, so he had no choice but to agree, and then sent Wang Gongzi out of the house.
Outside the gate of the mansion, Lijian helped his son to get into the car, not wanting to touch the injury on Gu Yong's right arm, he frowned in pain, and hurriedly swung Lijian away with his left hand.
"Childe is injured?" Wang Lijian saw that Gu Yong was about to fall, so he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Gu Yong's left arm and asked.
"It's just a small injury, it's okay, let's leave home. Wang Guyong looked back at Sima Wangfu, and then continued to get into the car with the support of Lijian.
Wang Lijian saw that Gongzi did not elaborate but insisted on going back to the house, so he had to give up, wait for Gongzi to get in the car and sit down, and ordered everyone to get on the horse and set off.
Seeing off the son here, Sima You ordered someone to summon a messenger to come to the study, and walked towards the study after giving the order.
Sima You wrote down what happened here into a letter, and when the messenger arrived, he handed the letter to him, and asked him to send it to Jiankang to hand it over to Sima Rui.
After dealing with these Sima You, he sat down in the study to rest for a while, the incident happened suddenly, and he was old, and he was now tired and tired.
......
Over there, Xuanzhi already knew that Danqing was imprisoned, and was busy trying to try to get him out.
In the end, he finally had to go to prison for a visit.
When Danqing saw Xuanzhi's arrival, he hurriedly grabbed Xuanzhi and asked, "How did Brother Xian come here?
"Big brother, don't ask me how I got in, did the prince say how to deal with you?" Xuan Zhi also held Danqing's hand and looked at Danqing's body and replied, Xuan Zhi was relieved to see that Danqing was not beaten.
"Now that the young lady is missing and has not been found, the prince has been taken back to the palace, but the ins and outs of the matter have not been clarified, and the prince has sent a large number of soldiers to find the young lady. Xuanzhi continued to finish speaking, and told Danqing in detail about what happened outside.
Although this matter is strange, it may be clear to everyone, but it is not possible to say it directly due to the situation. Danqing said after hearing Xuanzhi's words.
"Oh, then the eldest brother said what this is approximately? The younger brother is ignorant and still doesn't know, so please ask the eldest brother to answer. Xuanzhi heard that Danqing actually said that he knew the truth, and hurriedly asked questions.
"Although Miss's kung fu is no longer among the masters, it can be regarded as passable, plus there are many guards patrolling in the house, that son must not have been injured by outsiders, but by Miss. Danqing explained.
"But why did Miss hurt him?" asked Xuanzhi again.
"It should be Miss who opposes this marriage, the son appeared in Miss Miss's room, presumably without Miss's consent, as for why he hurt him, I can't say this, Miss also knows her temper. Danqing replied again and again.
"As for how to deal with us and others, the prince didn't say anything, but the young lady has never found it and won't let us out. Danqing continued.
"Then the young lady should let you out when she comes back. Xuanzhi comforted him.
"But how do you know when the young lady will come back? If the young lady is really injured by the young lady, and the young lady is also against this marriage, according to the young lady's temperament, she may not come back. Danqing said again.
"Then what should I do? The prince can't ask you about your sins too. Xuanzhi said urgently.
"Perhaps, you and I have been aware of the government's actions for more than half a year, and it is not surprising that innocent people are involved. Danqing sighed helplessly.
Xuan Zhi was also very uncomfortable when he saw Danqing like this, and hurriedly comforted him, "Big brother doesn't need to be like this, little brother should try to rescue big brother out." ”
"Brother Xian has a heart, but official affairs are complicated, so you still don't want to get involved. Danqing was very relieved to hear Xuanzhi say this, making friends is so sufficient, he shouldn't make him in danger, so he hurriedly said something to stop it.
"When the time comes, the visitation ends. A soldier came with a key and opened the cell door.
The two had to say goodbye, and when Xuan Zhi left, he turned around and said, "Big brother, wait for me." ”
"Brother Xian, don't do stupid things, remember, remember!" Danqing warned in a loud voice.
After Xuanzhi left, Danqing turned around and sat down, knowing that this time he might not be able to get out again, so he remembered all kinds of things.
first thought of his father Chu Kunyu dying at the hands of the Hu people, and then his brother-in-law and sister were still waiting for him in the Wenshu Monastery, maybe there was one more nephew or niece.
Thinking of his wish when he first entered the world, he inexplicably entered the military camp and became the attendant of the eldest lady of the Sima family, and then he also became low-eyed and pleasing to the eyes, and he also knew how to cater to the world, completely deviating from his original intention.
Is it the environment, or is it the way you want to be? It's a question worth pondering.
The sudden incident woke me up, and my father's teachings also lingered in my ears: "Be a man in moderation, and take wealth in a proper way." ”
In short, Danqing thought a lot in prison, but even if he figured it out, what was the use?
