Chapter 359 Flowing Fire 2
When the sky was bright, the bedroom of the Pearl Mirror Hall was brightly lit, and the two people in the game showed fatigue.
Yuanxiu held her cheeks in one hand and picked up the chess pieces in the other. Her eyes seemed to be closed. Suddenly, she felt a chill on her cheeks. She immediately touched her backhand and opened her eyes at the same time, but felt that her hand had been caught. Du Furi grabbed her wrist with one hand, but the other hand had messed up the chess game. Wen Yan said, "Since you are tired, I lost this game. I'll go and ask for some porridge. If you drink it, you can settle it down.
"You should have lost." Yuan Xiu took an inch and habitually complained, but then thought of something, and her eyes darkened - although as an emperor, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting have been learned since childhood, and there are no shortage of famous teachers in the palace, but also because of their noble status, if they are not interested in these, they only need to know their fur and will not lose the royal family during the banquet. Demity is good. Yuanxiu's attention has been practiced for many years, and it is just the same thing because of his talent.
As for the chess that she is not very interested in, it is even worse, but because of her noble status, everyone usually let her go, even Fengchun is no exception. Fengchun's chess skills are also famous in the royal family. He is nearly ten years older than Yuan Xiu. When Yuan Xiu first learned this, he was already quite young. Cheng, Yuanxiu naturally wanted to pull him to play the game. At first, in order to explore her bottom, Fengchun killed her in the first game. As a result, Yuanxiu cried anxiously. Empress Dowager Zhaoxian coaxed her for several days. Even Emperor Xianzong was shocked and couldn't laugh or cry. When Fengchun went to see her again, she refused to pay attention until Fengchun deliberately lost to her. After that, Fengchun turned his anger into joy. After that, he dared not win her. Every time he racked his brains to think about how to defeat... Later, Mrs. Xue couldn't stand it and directly told the truth. However, Yuanxiu was not very old at that time, and she felt too faceless. Therefore, when Fengchun was defeated, she had to take another inch. Fengchun should seriously think of a few words to praise her chess skills...
Du Furi was keenly aware that she was not high and suddenly fell down. She was about to think of a way to comfort her, but there were a few soft knocks from the window of the two of them. Du Mo's voice came from outside: "Lang Jun, it's not early. It's time for us to leave the palace."
Yuan Xiu had kept him for one night, thinking that such a rumor should be almost done. And because he remembered Fengchun, he became more and more unperfunctory. He took advantage of the situation and sent him, "I will ask Cai Lv to get the porridge. Since you are busy, then go."
Out of Wangxianmen, the long sound of the morning bell echoed all over Chang'an, and the doors were opened one after another, and this noisy day would begin again. The carriages of the Duke of the State of China flowed into the carriages and horses on the road along Danfeng Street, without any waves.
Back to Lujian Garden, hot water and clean underwear have been prepared. Although it has been cool on the night in July, the heat has not completely dissipated. Du Furi bathed and changed his clothes and spread out in the inner room, but he saw that Du Mo had also changed his strong clothes and was sitting down and waiting with a frown.
As soon as he looked like this, he knew that something was wrong. Du Fu didn't sleep all night, and he was also a little tired at this moment. He ordered Zhuoqi: "Go and make a pot of strong tea." Then he sat in the first place and asked, "But what happened?"
"The housekeeper just sent someone to say that Mrs. Xue asked to go back to the palace to accompany your master." Du Mo and Du Guanqi are generally the sons of the Du family. They have learned martial arts since childhood, guarded their uncles and nephews, and grew up with their masters. Therefore, they speak very casually in private. Although they know that Du Furi has always been considerate of Princess Yuanxiu, they do not hide their dissatisfaction with the princess at this moment. "If it's just your master's It's okay to have a maid named Cailan and the maidservant Yu Wenrong. The two look good, but the nobleman's character is not virtuous. The name of Mrs. Xue's domineering in Chang'an is well known. After the year, no one in the family dares to come to ask for marriage, and Guo Shou is unwilling to marry only to ordinary people. My son, after procrastinating for a long time, she was almost out of the double ten, that is, in the palace. Because of the Empress Dowager Wenhua, and she was the adopted daughter of the Guo family, Wang Huifei, who had previously photographed the affairs of the six palaces, was also quite polite to her, and her domineering temperament has not changed much... Now your attitude is softer, if Mrs. Xue returns If you go to the palace, you don't know what will happen? It's just that Qiu Shiniang got the news that she couldn't stand this Mrs. Xue. She asked us to find a way quickly whether to kill or take her away. We have to give her a accurate message.
Du Furi said slightly: "Who said this in the Mysterious Pavilion?"
"It's Meng Jia Erlang." Du Mo asked, "In the past few days, your lord doesn't seem to have mentioned Mrs. Xue, Cai Lan and others. He thinks that he has already been killed by us. It's better not to ask, so it's better to just..."
"I knew it was either Meng Jia Erlang or Yan Lang himself." Du Furi shook his head, "Don't worry, Mrs. Xue was extremely admired by Qiu Sixteen Niang's lute skills when she was a teenager. Besides, no matter how domineering Mrs. Xue is, she really loves Ahuang. Qiu Sixteen Niang has not been fooling around in the past ten years in the wind and moon field. She is afraid that she can't coax Mrs. Xue to stay in the pavilion? If so, how can this mythical pavilion be one of the best in the north?
He seemed to smile and said, "This must be because Yanlang didn't want me to live a good life. I just heard that I came back twice late in the palace, so I couldn't wait to come here to please him, so I took Mrs. Xue as a name."
"Yan Xiaolangjun?" Du Mo and Yan Jiuhuai have dealt with each other many times, but because they knew that Du Furi and Furi had mastered Jiannan's famous chivalrous man Yan Jibei, he felt strange after listening to Du Furi's brief introduction of his brother's life-loving temperament, "Does Yan Xia care about him?"
As soon as the words came out, he was alert. This sentence meant to question Yan Jibei. After all, Du Furi was also a disciple of Yan Jibei... Sure enough, Du Furi frowned. Du Mo knew that Du Furi had always been generous. If it was not for the irreconvenable thing, he would never care about it. Such a reaction was slightly angry. He quickly admitted his mistake and said, "I'm rude! "
"Yanlang was raised by Qiu Sixteen Niang." When Du Furi saw that he admitted his mistake, he no longer pursued it and said slightly, "However, although Qiu Sixiniang is fooling in the wind and moon field, she is recognized as generous in the mother in the north. You think that the temperament of Mrs. Xue in red, the person she respects, in addition to the skill of the pipa, can naturally be stingy. I can't blame Qiu Shi Niang, but although he loves money, he also knows how to take it. Now what he does is within my tolerance. Since he wants to give it to him, it's nothing to him. He was originally my younger brother, so he just regarded it as giving his brother some property.
Du Mo knew that Du Furi said that he would no longer pursue the previous matter, so he didn't think much about it. He laughed and joked, "Fortunately, the five rooms and Dafang have already been separated. Now there is only Lang Jun under A Lang, and there are no other brothers to care about it, otherwise Yan Lang Doing so is going to be annoying.
"Oh!" Du Furi smiled, but saw that she came in with a food box outside. She saw Du Mo squeezed his lips and smiled and said, "It turned out that Mo Lang is here. I said, Lang Junming ordered Zhuo Jie to prepare food. She carefully picked it for a long time and told her not to put sesame oil in one of the soup cakes, but she refused to come over after that. I have to do it for you..."
Du Mo was still sitting solemnly, but it was slightly red behind his ears. Du Furi was surprised and said, "What's going on?"
"Lang Jun was summoned into the palace by your lord last night and didn't come back until now. In the past few days, I think we are only thinking about your lord. We are not in Lang Jun's mind." Zhuo squeezed his mouth, said a softly, and then continued, "Last month, Mo Lang mentioned to the housekeeper that he wanted to marry Zhuo Ji. Langjun, you are our master. Don't you know?"
Du Furi stared at Du Mo for a moment. Du Mo did not change his face and said, "Lang Jun, I don't blame me. A month ago, it was when your lord was in the Zige courtyard. He Jia Liulang and Yan Xiaolangjun were uneasy to your master. Lang Jun was worried and took care of him secretly nearby. I was also afraid that Lang Jun would be distracted and thought of Lang Junping. It's the biggest day, and that's why I'm annoyed with the housekeeper!"
"What did Dub said?" Du Furi asked quietly.
Du Mo coughed gently and looked at the clothesline, but although the clothes were plain. Zi was gentle and considerate, but now he stood beside him with a smile and lowered his hand. Seeing that he was not going to retreat, Du Furi also saw Du Mo's sight, but he only unconsciously waited for his answer with a smile.
"The housekeeper said that if he was willing to do it, he would allow me." Dumo paused and still said seriously, "The housekeeper also said that if you marry together, it's okay. After all, Lang Jun wants the Lord. Although the emperor's son-in-law does not allow concubines, the golden branches and jade leaves of this dynasty are not like Princess Pingjin, such as Princess Changyang, unless they meet a virtuous woman like Princess Yi'an. Staring at the grass and trees around the emperor's son-in-law, the people who have served Langjun like this will always make you uncomfortable. Instead of making the lord uncomfortable and wrong the two of them, it is better to take advantage of the Lord to send the people away. In this way, Langjun can also make a special one in front of your lord. The name of love and righteousness.
After listening to this, Du Furi looked at Zhuo's face calmly: "You also heard Du Mo's words. It's true that you and Zhuo have served me for many years, so although Du Mo grew up with me, I can't be partial to him... But I don't know how you have discussed with Zhuo this month? It's just that I also want to remind you that serving a husband is no better than serving a master. No matter how good your sisters are, it is better to be.
As soon as he finished speaking, he almost jumped up. His eyes widened, regardless of Du Furi in front of him, pointed to Du Mo and exclaimed, "You...do you want us to marry one of you?"
Du Mo was also shocked and hurriedly looked at Du Furi and argued, "Lang Jun, don't hurt me! It's clear that I only asked the housekeeper to marry me, but I have never thought about the two daughters!" Hearing what he said, although Zhuo's anger had not subsided, he put up with it.
"What?" Du Furi's face showed surprise, "Dubo's housekeeper is very orderly and the most shrewd person. If you only want to marry a wash, why should he bring up the clothes to you? After all, isn't it extremely inappropriate to mention a girl who hasn't left the cabinet in front of you, a single young man? Besides, you usually only follow me in and out. There are not many people in this Lujian Garden, and you are not asked to find a candidate for you, right?
zhuo jin thought it was very reasonable, and he stared at Du Mo's face more and more unkind... Du Mo suddenly sweated like rain and could no longer maintain a serious expression. He said bitterly, "Lang Jun, I just want to drag Lang Jun into the water to avoid Zhuo Qian and Lang Jun to continue to tease me together. How did Lang Jun ask the bottom so much about it? ?"
Du Furi murmured slightly and suddenly said, "I know!"
zhuo jin hurriedly asked, "What did Lang Jun know?"
"I think you were swaying between the clothes and the clothes, and finally decided to wash clothes, so Du Bo mentioned the hope that both of them would leave the cabinet before I got married, but so?" Although Du Furi was asking, her expression and the tone in her words clearly identified the result. She narrowed her eyes. She grew up by serving Du Furi. Naturally, she knew how calculating her master, who has only become famous in Chang'an in the past few days, is. Moreover, Du Furi's words are very reasonable. The housekeeper Du Bo is the most shrewd and capable. , things have always been fair and just, and the Duke of the People's Republic of China are extremely convinced of him. If it hadn't been for Du Mo's idea of the two people first, what would Dub would have done to get married him? If he concentrates on marrying Zhuo, it is difficult for Dub to recommend himself to him! It was obvious that Du Mo was wavering and even intended to accept both. As a result, he was rejected by Du Bo and finally chose Zhuoqi!
"You tired and lazy! Fortunately, I also told the kitchen not to put sesame oil in this soup cake and change it to lard, but I didn't expect you to be such a thing! It's really shameful to see your face in front of you today!" Among Du Furi's two close maids, Zhuo's temperament is spicy and straightforward, and the clothes should look gentle, but that also depends on who it is right. If she is against the masters of the Du family, or the serious relatives in the next room, she may have to abide by the duty of the maid, but she is not so polite to Du Moke, who is also a servant. She blushed and picked up a bowl of soup cakes originally prepared for Du Mo's special taste in the food box. She was going to fall, but thinking that even if Du Furi didn't care about her rudeness, if she broke this big bowl of soup and water, because she was in Lujian Garden or the difference between herself and Zhuoqi, she didn't To do such a stupid thing, this soup cake can never be cheaper. Du Mo turned his eyes and took a sip in front of Du Mo. He shouted angrily, "I know what you are doing with refreshing sesame oil, but you don't need to add lard to everything! You are obviously confused by lard and want to hit our sisters together? In the next life! Look at me and tell Zhuo, I know what kind of face you are!"
Because of his anger, his words were fast and loud. Du Mo was still the first time he was so wronged. He was stunned and kept watching Zhuo Qian smash the soup bowl in front of him and apologize to Du Furi. A gust of wind rolled out of the door angrily. Then he jumped and shouted, "Lang Jun! How can you treat me like this!"
"I know why you chose to wash clothes instead of clothes." Du Furi looked at the accusation and reaction, and still looked at ease. He slowly cleaned his hands in the silver basin next to him. After returning to his seat, he picked up a piece of Biluo and smiled, "Zhu's mind is simple. It's really too easy to coax. No wonder you don't want her to wash it."
Dumer subconsciously said, "It's not..."
"It's not your head!" He only said three words, but the Zhuo, who had not yet gone far, happened to hear Du Furi's words. He was worried that he had just overreacted and left a bad impression on his master. He hurried back to the door to eavesdrop. He planned to come out and argue in time if it was not good, but he didn't want to hear Du Mo's statement that he seemed to admit Du Furi. What's more, he was furious and didn't care about Du Furi's previous words as if he was coaxing himself. He only thought that Du Mo was really bullying people too much - the fifth house of the Du family is now two serious masters of Du Qingtang and Du Furi. After Du Qingtang's deceased wife left, he did not use his daughter to get close to his body. They were all by himself and the housekeeper and guard Du Guanqi. In this world The close maid of the family has been selected repeatedly in the family. Even if she has a plain appearance and has been following her master for many years, she has always been stained with a good manner and put it outside, and the girls of idle family are not as good.
Otherwise, why would you rather marry a maidservant than a little girl?
Now Dumo and himself are generally Du Furi's close attendants, but why are they picky in front of the housekeeper? As the old saying goes, there are hundreds of women who ask for it, because girls are not as good as Lang Jun. This value cannot be trampled on. Except for those who are involuntarily in the land of the brothel, which girl in the world is willing to be picked up like a vegetable?
If she said that she had just left, she was just angry. Now after hearing Du Mo's three words, she was really dizzy - even the friendship that had served Du Furi over the years was thrown aside by her. She rushed into the door, picked up the bowl of soup that had just been eaten by herself, and buckled Du Mo's head with lightning. Up, he gritted his teeth and scolded angrily, "Beast!"
With that, he hugged the five bats and ran out without looking back...
Du Mo silently wiped the soup dripping on his head. Because it was Du Furi's mouth, now it is summer, and naturally he will not prepare hot soup cakes to be brought up, so that Du Furi will not have to wait to enter. In addition, he said another conversation before being buckled on his head, so he did not burn it, but he just bathed. Now I even have to wash my hair...
"Lang Jun!" Du Mo was so embarrassed, but Du Furi still didn't look at it. Instead, he took a veil from the side and gave it to him very considerately and ate his own soup cake. He was elegant and did not squint. He was really a modest gentleman who was extremely well-bred and would never fall into the well. Du Mo took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Next time I will accompany Lang Jun to the palace, if Lang Jun doesn't mention a walking word, I will never disturb you again!"
After saying that, he stared silently at Du Furi, but saw that the latter slowly ran out of soup cakes and rinsed his mouth with tea. Then he nodded kindly: "You are also angry for a moment. As a Langjun, you don't have to care about the girls. If you have time to look back, you have time. I will explain one or two for you.
Du Furi was humble and elegant from beginning to end. He did not see any intentional instigation or deliberate revenge. He was really a model for the children of the family. In the end, he did not forget to remind him thoughtfully: "While it's still early at this moment, you can take a bath and change your clothes. I see that A Huang's face is not good. In the afternoon, I will invite Geng Jingzhai Then go to the Pearl Mirror Hall to treat her. Since you are my personal guard, you should accompany her.
