Chapter 242 The Truth of Husband and Wife

The two entered the hall and heard Prince Zhao ask, "Do you have any specialties in the county?" Dongfang brother didn't bring back any of it! I heard that the lingers there are very popular, and it must be another flavor. When did you go to the county? Dongfang brother can't be stingy. You have to invite me to try it.

Master Dongfang was stunned for a moment and said, "Unlike a coincidence, the hostess selling pancakes was taken away the night before I came back, but two or half of the silver was not lost. So far, it is an unsolved case, and its whereabouts are unknown.

When he said this, Master Dongfang secretly observed Zhao Qian's reaction.

Zhao Qian was surprised and said, "There is such a thing! Dongfang's case handling level is first-class. How many times has the injustice been cleared by you after two lifetimes, and this case has become an unsolved case? If you can't even find it, there will be a lot of articles in it!"

Master Dongfang said, "There are countless cases in the world. My ability is also limited.

Zhao Qian sighed, "Maybe your current energy is not as usual, and it is also possible that you didn't expect it. Take good care!"

"It's the same with Brother Qian." Master Dongfang saw the two women coming and said, "What are you talking about? You don't look happy, but you come back with sad face on both sides?"

Liu Cai and Princess Su Kou looked at each other and regained their smiles and said, "I asked Koer to take good care of her body and give birth to a fat son at that time to make Dongfang younger brother happy."

Master Dongfang coughed and smiled without saying a word.

Zhao Qian said, "I also said this to Dongfang Di, so that he should not be overworked and take good care of his body!"

Liu Caiping smiled and said, "No matter when I am, I can't escape what the prince thinks."

The four people chatted again. From afar, it was a scene of deep love between the husband and wife. Finally, Master Dongfang was so tired that he couldn't stand it and said, "It's not early. It's not suitable to be in the prince's mansion tomorrow. I have to come back overnight."

The ancestral rules and traditional customs will no longer be retained by the prince and his wife.

When he went out, Dongfang seemed to accidentally think of something and said, "I heard that after I went to the county, our brothers didn't go to Ganlin Courtyard for a long time, and it was abandoned. I don't know where the former maids have been transferred? I think there are one or two that are pleasing to the eye. If Brother Qian is worried about having nowhere to settle down, why don't you let me take it to the county? None of the prime minister's mansion suits my eyes.

After saying this, Zhao Qian and Princess Su Ko's look suddenly changed.

After a while, Zhao Qian said, "I don't remember where they were assigned. If Dongfang Di wants them by name, I will pay more attention and send them to the prime minister's mansion on a later date."

Liu Caiping didn't know the whirlpool of the waves and said with a smile, "Except for a silk Luan serving in my room, she... I remember two of them. Since May and June, I have been doing chores at the college. It seems that a man named Rugu, who is meek and sensible, has somehow become a mute. What a pity; there is also a man named Qiu Sa, who served Koer before leaving the cabinet..."

Princes Suko's face became heavier and heavier, and she said, "Sister-in-law, you don't choose some good ones, just pick these crooked melons and dates!" When Master Dongfang went to the county, it was inconvenient for him to do everything. If the maid doesn't do whatever she pleases, what else can he do? What's the use of being a mute? You send her a message. If she can't even express it, it's urgent! And that Qiu Sa, I didn't like it, so I didn't take it away. Since she did some rough and clumsy work in the college, how can she serve Master Dongfang?

After listening to this, Dongfang Ye shook his head and smiled gently and said, "It's okay. I'm too clever to worry about it. Why is dumb? Much more worry-free than those with long tongues! As long as she is sharp and understanding, she will be irritable enough to work hard every day, but keep her clean. I'll take a look at that Qiu Sa by the way. If it looks okay, I'll ask for it. Anyway, I don't have high requirements for these maids. Just be honest and simple.

After saying that, Master Dongfang asked Zhao Qian, "I don't know if Brother Qian is willing to take me there to have a look?"

Zhao Qian hesitated for a moment and couldn't refuse. He said to Liu Cai and Princess Su Ko, "It's getting late. You two wait here first, and Dongfangdi and I will come over.

Princess Liu Cai and Su Ko couldn't say anything, so they didn't go there.

Along the way, Zhao Qian was in conflict. The reason why he readily agreed to Mr. Dongfang was that he had to take him to the college. If you refuse to take him there during the day, in case the beggar walks in the water pavilion, he will be seen by the Oriental Master. At this time, in the middle of the night, the beggar must be sleeping soundly, which is the only good time.

The mute maid can't be a disaster. It's just Qiu Sa, who is the eyeliner of Koer in the palace. She knows too many secrets. If Master Dongfang insists on taking her away, I'm afraid he can't keep it.

Originally, it was not good to see blood in the New Year, and I planned to postpone it for a period of time before making arrangements. It seems that it must be disposed of before Dongfang Ye left.

All the way to the college, the moon stars are sparse, and the artistic conception of dead wood and rocks is far-reaching. The two walked very lightly and did not wake up a grass and a crow in the courtyard. Dongfang looked around and said in a very low voice, "Is that water attic newly built? If Brother Qian doesn't say anything, I don't know! It's really interesting to go there and sit down and drink warm wine there!"

Zhao Qian's heart thumped and hurriedly said, "I was going to tell Dongfang, but you came back for a short time. I only met once and only consulted something else, so I forgot about this little thing! It's really good to drink a pot of wine in the pavilion, but winter is too cold, and the cold air is easy to invade the body and bones. It's better to wait until the summer is hot and go to escape the summer heat. The breeze is gentle and the water is cool, which is pleasant.

"Well, that's right." Master Dongfang didn't bother much and smiled and said, "The study is here."

The prince quietly knocked on the door and asked with a trembling old voice, "Who is it?"

It may be because of the shallow sleep of the elderly, and it was an old palace doctor who opened the door.

"Where are those two bastards?" Prince Zhao asked.

The old palace doctor pointed to the two rooms on the other side and said, "I don't know which one it is. It's cold in winter, and they slept in the same room.

"Go and wake them up." Zhao Qian ordered, "Be careful not to disturb others."

The old palace doctor was also relatively safe and shouted, "Rugu...Rugu..."

There was a buzzing sound from the room, which seemed to answer. The sound of rustling clothes sounded, and another confused female voice said vaguely, "What are you doing?"

Rugu hum, get up and pour water, and open the door. Seeing the prince and Master Dongfang, I was stunned for a long time and quickly knelt down.

After getting up, Zhao Qian asked her to call Qiu Sa.

It didn't take long for Qiu Sa to run out in a panic and said in surprise, "Prince, Lord Dongfang..."

Zhao Qian said in a harmony, "Master Dongfang wants to take you two to the county after the Spring Festival, would you like to?"

The sudden news made the two look at each other for a long time. Ru Gu drew his heart and drew the appearance of a woman on the ground.

"What do you mean?" The prince and the oriental master are puzzled.

Qiu Sa said, "She said that she would wait here for the beggar master to come back."

Ru Gu and Qiu Sa, who did chores in the study, and the beggars were in the underground room, Zhao Qian issued a ban on them in order to avoid the wind. After the beggar escaped, Zhao Qian was depressed and didn't come to the college much, so the ban was not lifted. They couldn't go out of the study, so they couldn't see the beggar coming back this time. And the beggar regards this place as a sad memory and has never seen it.

Master Dongfang didn't know this section. He was stunned for a long time and said with a lot of movement, "What a loyal maid."

Then he walked to Rugu and smiled, "Your master will not go back to the palace. She will look for freedom."

Rugu was stunned for a long time, tears fell, nodded, pointed to the distance, and drew a personal shape.

Qiu Sa explained, "She means that she would like to go with Dongfang Ye and wait for his master in the outside world."

Master Dongfang nodded and asked Qiu Sa, "What about you?"

Qiu Sa looked timidly at the prince: "The maidservant was originally the princess. Later, the princess gave the maidservant to the prince. As long as the prince agrees, the maidservant has nothing to say."

Master Dongfang said in a low voice, "This time, I give you the right to choose freely."

Qiu Sa said in a low voice: "I want to be with Ru Gu. To serve the Oriental Master is to serve the princess.

"Good." Dongfang said to Zhao Qian, "Brother Qian, then let me take it away."

Zhao Qian frowned slightly: "Wait until you go to the county. I can also arrange other people to learn from them first.

Master Dongfang nod and said, "I'm going to make a deal with these two people. Brother Lao Qian will help me take care of these days."

After the matter was settled, Dongfang and Princess Suko returned to the prime minister's mansion together. Liu Cai's sister said to Zhao Qian, "It's a little different when Dongfang came back this time. He actually came to our house to ask for a maid."

Zhao Qian had no expression on his face and said unhappily, "In the future, you will speak less in front of others!"

Liu Cai was stunned and muttered, "Did I say something wrong?"

Zhao Qian said, "People who are obviously wrong but think they are very good at talking need to shut up."

Liu Cai was full of grievances and had to keep his mouth shut.

On the second day of the lunar new year, Dongfang and Princess Su Kou returned to the palace and told the emperor and the queen that they would go to the county for the Lantern Festival. Ko'er insisted on accompanying them, so they wanted to persuade their daughter. However, Princess Suko insisted that there was nothing the emperor could do. Empress Li called her daughter to the bedroom and guided her carefully. It's nothing more than that it's far from the capital, not to mention the difficult conditions. If you are wronged, who can know? Princess Sucome only shed tears and didn't say anything.

Queen Li skipped this matter for a while. While wiping her tears, she asked seriously, "Koer, is the doctor my mother found for you, is it okay? The mother thinks that he is not good at gynecology. Do you want to have another look?

Princes Su Ko couldn't stand it anymore and said with tears, "Mother, don't say these words as soon as you see me, okay?"

"Give birth is a lifelong event for a woman." Empress Li said bitterly, "While Ren'er hasn't married a concubine yet, you can get pregnant quickly, and the mother can breathe a sigh of relief. Although you are a princess and have no children's support, you will be lonely in the future.

Princess Sucome said, "I don't have a blessing in my life."

"Why do you say that?" Queen Li's slender eyebrows twisted into a centipede: "After telling my mother, what's going on?"

Princess Sucome said, "He... didn't have sex with me."

Queen Li stood up and said, "Such a big thing... did you just tell your mother now?"

"How can this be said out?" Princess Sucome begged, "Mother, don't go to the Oriental Lord!"

"You are so confused. I'm your mother's queen. You can't talk about it, but is your mother an outsider?" Queen Li was angry and said to Princess Su Ko, "I will definitely go to the prime minister's mansion these two days! Before Ren'er goes to the county, he must have sex with you and be a real couple!"

Princess Sucome shook her head and said, "I don't want it! Otherwise, K'er will die in front of you!"

"What are you talking about during the Spring Festival!" Empress Li said, "If I don't look for Ren'er, can't I talk to your mother-in-law?"

Princes Sucome lay in Queen Li's arms and couldn't stop crying.

At this time, Dongfang Ye was in the prince's mansion, saying that he would go to the county after the Lantern Festival and would come back to the prince's mansion to pick up the two maids. Zhao Qian agreed and said that there was no problem. The two maids were not concerned about their buddy's friendship.

When I went to the Queen's Palace to see the princess, I saw her eyes swollen like peaches and asked, "What's wrong?"

Princess Sucome choked and said, "My mother said, don't go to the county, or you won't recognize me as a daughter!"

Master Dongfang was secretly happy and persuaded, "I told you to give up this idea a long time ago, but you won't listen. At present, it makes your mother unhappy, so don't be stubborn. If you miss me, you can ask the house guard to send me a letter, and I will reply when I receive it.

Princes Suko is still sobbing, but she is no longer single-handed.

By the fourth day of the first lunar month, the beggar's eyelids kept jumping from the morning, wonder if something had happened? She asked Nangong Zhili to go out and find out. He said briefly, "A woman marries a man and has different rooms for a year. Either a man has a problem or a woman has a problem. Someone is going to take action.

The beggar was confused, but he knew that it must be related to Dongfang Ye, but he couldn't say how it was related to it.

By the way, something did happen that day. Mrs. Mei was summoned into the palace by the queen. The two discussed it all day, and then Mrs. Mei went back with a gloomy face. After dinner, Mrs. Mei called Dongfang and Princess Sucome to her side, saying that there were fewer reunion days after that, and asked her to drink a few drinks with her.

Master Dongfang and Princess Sucome sat around the stove and accompanied Mrs. Mei to drink wine. Then, I couldn't remember anything. When I woke up the next morning, there was a red blood on the sheets under the gold account. Princess Sucome fell asleep very tired in his arms.

Master Dongfang was stunned for a few seconds, got up quickly and put on his clothes. Princess Sucome also got up, touched her confused head, and looked at Master Dongfang in a daze and helplessly.

Master Dongfang's face turned pale, sighed and said, "Get up and take a shower."

All kinds of tastes surged into her heart, and Princess Sucome cried with a "wow" and said intermittently, "It's the mother... mother-in-law... their idea..."

At this time, Dongfang Ye has guessed that his mother gave them tampered wine last night. At that time, he felt something was wrong, but after all, he was his mother, so he didn't doubt it.

At this point, Master Dongfang can still ask his mother something and swallow all kinds of bitterness into his stomach.

In the next few days, Mr. Dongfang's appetite was even more depressed. Every time Mrs. Mei sent some food and drink, Mr. Dongfang found a place to dump it.

How could Mrs. Mei not know? She once said to Princess Sucome, "Did I do something wrong? I'm all for your good!"

Princes Sucome burst into tears: "Mother-in-law, you don't know, this will make him feel sad! I never wanted to do my wife's part, but I have been waiting for him to take the initiative! After you do this, I'm not even qualified to wait!"

Mrs. Mei was full of tears in her eyes and said, "I've wronged you, Koer..."

In a flash, the Lantern Festival passed. Master Dongfang has not spoken much to Mrs. Mei during this period. When he had no choice, he only answered with a few simple words.

On the sixteenth of the first lunar month, she entered the palace again. The ice and snow between Queen Li's eyebrows melted, and she couldn't help looking at Dongfang and Princess Su Ko. In front of him, Dongfang Ye usually said some warm words to make do with the scene, but this time he didn't. Queen Li knew the reason, but she would never reflect on it. Instead, she was very capricious.

Then Master Dongfang went to see Prince Zhao. Zhao Qian was very sorry and sighed at him, "I was about to tell you that Qiu Sa ran to the lake to put lanterns over there last night and somehow fell into the water. When he found it, he was out of breath! Fearing to dilute the auspicious atmosphere of the Lantern Festival, it was quietly buried and was not announced.

Master Dongfang's fingers pounded on the table, and he couldn't see his emotion and said, "What about Rugu? Is he also drowned?"

Zhao Qian said, "No. She picked it up in the house that day, but fortunately there was no accident."

Then take Rugu to the county alone. Dongfang Yedao.

"Why don't you choose another one from my maids?" Zhao Qian apologized.

Master Dongfang said, "Only she can do it. There was no one to serve before, and they didn't live the same way.

When Master Dongfang saw Rugu, she was like a poor deer, and the slight movements could scare her to death. Dongfang Ye smiled warmly at her, then stretched out his warm hand and took her to slowly walk out of the palace gate.

Princess Sucome will live in the palace for a period of time according to custom. When Dongfang left quietly, he did not say goodbye to her, which saved a lot of trouble and saved some embarrassment and heart sadness.

For nearly a month after returning to Beijing, she has not found out the whereabouts of the beggar, but there is hope in the bottom of Dongfang's heart that she must be in an unknown corner and live a comfortable life, and one day they will meet again.

Simple luggage has been prepared, and Dongfang will leave on the 18th. Princess Sucome didn't expect that Dongfang Ye would leave without saying goodbye and ran out of the palace and chased the carriage for a long distance.

Along the way, Dongfang treated Rugu like a brother, and finally let her slowly come out of the shadow. Master Dongfang casually asked her that day, "Did Qiu Sa fall into the water and die?"

Like a valley shaking his head, it's like a nightmare. Dongfang Ye waited for her to calm down and said, "Was she pushed into the water?"

Ru Gu nodded and drew a masked man in black.

"Did you see it clearly? Can you recognize who the man in black is?" Dongfang asked.

Ru Gu shook his head. Dongfang didn't ask again. If it was right, it must be the prince's confidant.

That Qiu Sa served Gaoer first and then Zhao Qian. It seemed that she knew too much, so she was not tolerated in the world. Master Dongfang thought that if Gu and Qiu Sa had lived together for so long, she would know some inside stories, but she couldn't express it in words. He didn't know where to start for a moment. Even if he asked some, he didn't understand her gestures and expressions well.

I'd better stop first. It doesn't matter. As long as you work hard, the iron rod can be ground into a needle, and Master Dongfang can always come up with a way.

The carriage was bumpy for more than half a month and arrived safely in the county. After arranging Rugu, the first sentence to Dongfang Ye said to her was, "Let me teach you how to read."

Rugu looked unbelievably surprised. He nodded excitedly first, then hung his head in frustration and counted his fingers all over the time.

Master Dongfang expected that she was not confident and encouraged her to say, "God has closed a door for a person and will definitely help her open a window. Although you can't talk anymore, I believe that if you calm down, you will write well.

Ru Gu focused his head with tears and was about to kneel down for Dongfang.

Master Dongfang picked her up and said warmly, "Don't worry, no one can hurt you again. I will treat you as much as the beggar master treats you.
