Chapter 115: Silence (I)
It was already raining a lot, and when it was approaching dusk, the sky was dark, and the carriages went out and went back along the road, and it was estimated that they would be able to get home before dark.
"Brother Liu, Brother Zhang, the heart of the road. , "Brother Zhao, please go back." "Go slowly." Sending off the last group of guests, Zhao Yuanjing stepped up the steps again, looked at the few carriages that were gradually moving away, and his handsome face was a little complicated.
"Master?" Seeing that Zhao Yuanjing was standing there and not moving, the servant beside him stepped forward and called softly.
Zhao Yuanjing turned around and walked inside, and at the same time faced the Jing Bu man: "Close the door." , "No." , the promotion responded.
After Zhao Yuanjing walked into the gate, the servant closed the door from the inside and locked it at the same time.
When he turned around, Zhao Yuanjing had already walked away.
"My lord is a little weird today, it's still raining this day, and he doesn't even take an umbrella. When the servant saw the oil umbrella falling aside, he picked it up and held it in his hand, and talked to himself.
"Smack!" Someone tapped him on the shoulder, startling the servant, and when he turned to look, he saw the old servant standing behind him.
"Uncle Zhou, you can scare me to death"
The old servant looked at him angrily, and reprimanded: "Don't tell the master to arrange behind your back, the scare is light, let me hear it next time, the skin of the heart." , "Uncle Zhou, I don't dare anymore. , stroking his chest, the servant begged for mercy.
Uncle Zhou regarded these servants in the mansion as his juniors, and he would not really pursue the matter, and when he saw that the other party showed remorse, he said: "Now that the stove is busy, why don't you go there to assist?"
"Just go, just go......"
When the servant ran away, Uncle Zhou looked at the target that the master had just gone to, and sighed secretly. angry, turned around and bent slightly, and walked towards the backyard.
What is his master busy with these days, although he doesn't know, but he has guessed a few points, and he has the heart to persuade the master to think twice, but he feels that the master is doing the right thing, so he simply let the master go, something really happened, it's a big deal to follow the master to die together.
Zhao Yuanjing, drenched in the drizzle, walked into the flower hall of Shicai quickly, and saw that there were maids and servants in the hall cleaning up, he didn't pay much attention to it, and went upstairs directly to Chen Qing's room.
After knocking on the door, Chen Qing opened the door and let him in.
"All of them have been sent away. Sitting at the square table, Zhao Yuanjing picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, drank two sips in a row, and moistened his throat, then Changhao sighed and sighed: "On weekdays, I feel very happy to meet friends with Yiwen, but today is the first time I feel nervous." ”
"They must have all noticed it, right?" Chen Qing sat across from him, tapping his fingers on the edge of the table a few times, looking up at Zhao Yuanjing, and asked.
Zhao Yuanjing bowed his head and said: "These people who came, all of them are clever people, and they have guessed my intentions this time, and several of them have already had the intention of following the king of Chu, but the other people did not appear directly, and they talked about something......"
There is some understanding here, but it is quite risky to do this thing in the end, and if you don't really go to it, it will be difficult to make up your mind.
"These people who have not made up their minds, will they go to report to the official?" Chen Qing stood up and walked back and forth in the room, his tone was a little solemn: "These people have been screened and invited, but it is inevitable that no one will ......"
"No, they won't. , Zhao Yuanjing shook his head, very responsible.
Chen Qing raised his eyebrows: "How can you see it?"
"I didn't know if I didn't go down, but these people who came were not ordinary people. These dozens of people, first, have a very good relationship with me, at least for a few years. The second is that they are all from the Wu Di family, and they know the relationship, such people, do you think, will they go to report to the official?"
After a pause, he smiled again: "If you go with a cold life, you don't know your face but you don't know your heart."
Chen Qing thought for a while, and immediately suddenly realized: "If that's the case, there's really no need to worry." , The two of them are also children of the family, so they naturally understand that the family has a lot of scruples, not only to take care of their own future, but also to take into account the rise and fall of the family, even if these people are unwilling in their hearts, at this time when the foundation of the King of Chu is very stable, they will never make a move to cut off their own way back, at most they pretend to be deaf and dumb, pretending not to know.
But if you want to have a cold life, it is difficult to have a life, and even if you have a good temperament, you are not safe.
"Wait for the good news, as long as a few people are willing to do this, it can be regarded as a credit. , Zhao Yuanjing was serious.
"Thank you. , Chen Qing and he have been friends for many years, so naturally they will not act pretentiously, they smiled when they heard the words, and thanked him, but they were very moved in their hearts, this time it was Zhao Yuanjing who fought for his life to help him, and he wanted to go back and tell him about it.
These people on the road, one by one, are all in mixed moods.
The events at the banquet really didn't have an impact on them, just like Zhao Yuanjing, they were all clever people, so they naturally understood what Zhao Yuanjing meant.
On the way home, Huang Maocai sat in the carriage, the drizzle was falling outside, the sky was overcast, and his mood was actually not sunny.
Coupled with the fact that he had drunk more wine at that time, his chest shook gently as the carriage did not exhaust. , the feeling of nausea, a burst of upwelling, can't stand it.
"Stop! Stop!" he suddenly screamed inside.
Let the carriage stop on the side of the road, and as soon as I got the carriage, I immediately vomited for a while, which was comfortable.
"Young master, are you okay?" The coachman didn't know what was going on, and when he saw the news, he hurriedly came over to ask.
"It's okay, it's just that some alcohol is rising, so let's keep going. Waving his hand, Huang Mao slowed down.
Keeping up his waist, the breeze blowing in front of him, mixed with some drizzle, made his mind much clearer and his stomach better.
With the help of the coachman, he got back into the carriage, and the coachman raised his whip again and urged the carriage to move quickly.
After a long time, Huang Maocai slept in the carriage, had nightmares all the way, and was in the decline of today's banquet, when Wei Yue knew that he had sent someone to arrest him, he woke up suddenly.
Looking outside, the carriage stopped.
The surrounding scenery is very familiar, isn't this the gate of the Yellow Mansion?
"Already home?"
"Young master, I just arrived at the gate of the mansion, and I will walk into the door in a while, you can wait for a while. "The driver in front.
Huang Maocai said weakly: "When you call me, you will be." His mind is very messy now, and his heart is quite annoyed, if he doesn't join this meeting today, there will be no such things.
But when things come, I can't help but think about the consequences.
Thinking of the nightmare just now, his face was even more ugly, so that after getting out of the car, the entourage who came to greet him was startled.
The young master went out for a trip and came back with such an ugly face?
"Young Master, you...... Are you alright?" asked a personal servant quietly.
Huang Maocai listened, and looked at him: "Young master, what can I do?"
After entering his courtyard and the main house, he told the maid to prepare a clean dress for him, washed up briefly, changed out of the clothes with the smell of wine, and walked out of the room after the clothes were neat.
"Can the master be in the hall now?" walked to his father's courtyard, saw a servant passing by, and hurriedly asked.
"Young master, the master is drinking tea in the hall. , by the servant.
"Alright, let's go down. , "No." After a little tidying up, Huang Mao walked towards the living room, and when he arrived at the door of the hall, he was about to speak, when he heard his father's voice from inside: "But Mao'er is back?"
"Yes, father. "Come in, my father just had something to ask." , "No." , Huang Maocai slowly walked into the hall, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw his father sitting on the top, looking at himself with a sinking face.
"Father. , Because there was something in his heart, Huang Mao immediately lowered his head.
"Ask for my father, but I went to Ugin Lane today?" Father Huang couldn't see his joy or anger, and asked about it as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Exactly...... Father, the child is about to report this to you!" Huang Mao raised his head and said anxiously.
"Slow down, what kind of panic does it look like?" Father Huang scolded.
Being blamed by his father for this, Huang Maocai calmed down, and then did not hide what he saw and heard in Ugin Lane, and it was all with his father.
After hearing this, Father Huang immediately fell silent.
Huang Maocai stood in front of his father, waiting for the other party's scraping.
After a while, I heard Father Huang ask, "What did you do?"
Back to his father's words, how could the child dare to easily admit this, pretending to be stupid at that time, just drinking, drunk, and never appeared. , Huang Mao replied.
Father Huang sighed, not very well, just waved his hand and ordered his son to go out first.
"Ah, since you have chosen this way, let's think about it for a few days behind closed doors, and don't mix this matter. "Yes, father." , Huang Maocai felt a little strange in his heart, he originally thought that he had caused trouble by going out this time, but now listening to this tone, he was a little subtle, and he was puzzled and retreated.
After Huang Maocai's figure disappeared at the gate of the courtyard, he saw a person walking out from behind the screen of this flower hall.
This person is somewhat similar to Huang's father's facial features, and as soon as he came out, he asked, "Big brother, this matter is forbidden to be reported to the government?"
"Of course not, let them go. Father Huang shook his head, and said: "No matter what, it's always good to leave a way back, flowers are not red for a hundred days, people are not good for a hundred days, if you do things well, it will bring trouble to the family in the future, this matter is always understood." , "Does that big brother also feel ......?"
Father Huang said lightly: "If Mao'er promised at that time, I would also be willing to fight, but if there is no commitment, forget it, if you can't resist the dragon, it's not bad to make peace." Hearing this, if Huang Maocai promised at that time, the Huang family would also be willing to join the camp of the King of Chu.
Mrs. Wei Yue's heart, Huang's father has been operating in Wu for many years, although he has not learned from more than a dozen families, and has moved the entire family with him, but he is no longer very optimistic about this former general who was called the emperor.
Although the king of Chu may not necessarily achieve the final victory, he will always leave a way back for the family.
This matter is not only understood by Huang's father, but also by his brother.
After listening to his brother's words, this man was no longer anything.
On the same night, this scene was presented in several other stores one after another.
In fact, Chen Qing's activities can't be hidden, and none of these people who joined the banquet are stupid, but in the face of this situation, many people choose to remain silent.
