Chapter 217 Gather together in one room, old man

Leng Xuanrong knew that the little girl's words were a compliment, and she didn't care, but continued to talk to the little girl pleasantly.

Leng Xuanrong wants to know more about the changes in the imperial city as soon as possible, and Leng Xuanrong doesn't know anything about this imperial palace. If you want to be invincible, you can only know your enemy. Even if Leng Xuanrong has a backer now, Leng Xuanrong feels that he must rely on his own strength to avenge the injustices he suffered in his previous life.

During the conversation, Leng Xuanrong knew that the little girl had been in the emperor's mansion for a long time, but she had not been able to serve the ladies in the house. She could only burn some hot water to lead the way for the guests, and the rest of the time could only do those heavier jobs. It is also because of this that she has heard a lot about the streets, alleys and the house. The little girl also answered the questions asked by Leng Xuanrong truthfully, but no matter how secret there are, what the little girl said is just market rumors. Leng Xuanrong knew that most of these rumors were fabricated by others and could hardly be believed.

It wasn't long before someone brought a simple dinner. After dinner, Leng Xuanrong saw that the little girl's face was tired, so she went back to rest.

The appearance of the little girl made Leng Xuanrong involuntarily think of herself in her previous life. Leng Xuanrong's life in her previous life was worse than that of this little girl. Maybe at this time in her previous life, she was envious of the ordinary people who lived these days and would not be bullied too seriously in the house.

When it came to Zhang Deng, as soon as Leng Xuanrong lit the candlelight in the room, she heard a rush of footsteps outside the courtyard. Someone quickly ran to the door of Leng Xuanrong, gasping for breath, but did not knock on the door.

Leng Xuanrong was stunned at first, and then her eyes flashed. She hurried to the door and opened the two lacquered wooden doors.

The one standing outside the door is indeed Dou Haowei!

"Mr. Dou!" Leng Xuanrong was really surprised and happy. He thought it would take some time to meet, but he didn't expect Mr. Dou to appear in front of him so soon.

Dou Haowei had sweat on his forehead and breathless. It could be seen that he ran all the way back. He took a deep breath and arched his hand to cold Xuanrong, "Miss Xuanrong, are you all right?"

Leng Xuanrong dodged and asked Mr. Dou to sit down in the room.

Mr. Dou recovered for a long time. His face was ruddy and he explained to Leng Xuanrong with an embarrassed smile, "I heard that General Gu really invited the fifth uncle back, so he was in a hurry to come back to have a look. But after he came back, the servants told me that the fifth uncle was talking to his grandfather, and I found here... Miss Xuanrong, you are safe. That's great..."

Before Leng Xuanrong could speak, he heard someone running outside. The door of the room was not closed. The two turned their heads and saw that it was a subordinate. The subordinate frowned and bowed his hand to Dou Haowei and said, "The old man heard that the young master came back and let you go there."

Dou Haowei looked embarrassed and didn't expect that his lies would be exposed so quickly. Why did he run back so anxiously because Dou Yandong came back? He heard that Leng Xuanrong and the fifth uncle came back together, so he took a soft sedan to go back to the imperial palace, inquired about the accommodation arranged for Leng Xuanrong from the gate of the house, and ran all the way over. Dou Haowei is afraid that Leng Xuanrong will go to bed early. In that case, if we want to meet again, we will have to wait until tomorrow.

Leng Xuanrong felt warm when she saw Dou Haowei's embarrassed appearance. She hurried forward and whispered to Dou Haowei, "Mr. Dou, you'd better go quickly. Maybe there is something important. There will be a long way to come. We will talk about it later.

Dou Haowei smiled and nodded vigorously to Leng Xuanrong. Her sentence "The future is long" is enough. But after he walked out of the door, he suddenly thought of something. He turned around and said to Leng Xuanrong, who followed him off, "Miss Xuanrong, Mr. Dou in the imperial city probably lives in this imperial palace. It's better to change his name in the future... Since I call you Miss Xuanrong, you can also call me Haowei."

"Mr. Haowei......" It was a little embarrassing to call his name directly. Leng Xuanrong whispered two words and agreed.

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they could know what each other was thinking now without saying anything. Dou Haowei bowed again, and then turned around and left with his subordinates.

The sudden appearance of Dou Haowei made Leng Xuanrong restless. The feeling of coming to the imperial city is a little deeper, and the stronger support around me seems to have become much more real.

Dou Haowei hurried to the back house. If his grandfather knew that he did not visit his elders first but went directly to Leng Xuanrong after returning home, I'm afraid it would affect Xuanrong's impression in Grandpa's heart. Although nine out of ten cases of this matter have to be gangstered in the end, Dou Haowei still felt that it was better to hide it for a while.

Mr. Dou, the oldest in the imperial master's mansion, is the emperor's master two generations ago, that is, the master of today's holy grandfather. Although the name of Doujia Emperor's Mansion has a long history, only a few people have really become emperors in the past dynasties. The old man's status at home and even in the court is unparalleled. Although he spoils Dou Haowei, his little grandson, Dou Haowei still dares not slow down and make him angry.

The servants told that several masters in the family were also with the old man, and Dou Haowei was inevitably nervous.

The old man lives in the innermost yard of the Imperial Mansion. This yard looks smaller than the previous yard, but it is more carefully arranged. After passing the moon gate cave, walk along the corridor. With the lanterns lit on both sides of the corridor, you can faintly see the green vegetation and gurgling water around. But Dou Haowei is in a hurry now, and he doesn't have the leisure to look at these things. Turning around the last corridor, in the distance is the room commonly used by the Dou family to discuss the most important things. When he was a child, Dou Haowei often came here to pester his grandfather to tell him those strange stories. Perhaps because he was mostly scared by those stories, Dou Haowei was always curious and afraid of this room. The room is actually very bright during the day, but the simple furnishings and quiet courtyard make it look a little strange and desolate. At night, this feeling is even stronger. If it hadn't been for the bright lights in the room and many people gathered, Dou Haowei would not have dared to approach here.

When he came to the door, Dou Haowei subconsciously took a deep breath and listened. There seemed to be no one talking in the room.

Dou Haowei summoned up his courage and whispered, "Grandpa, Haowei is back."

After two gasps, he listened to the words from the room, "Hou Wei, come in."

Dou Haowei opened the door and walked into the room.

The candlelight lit up the faces of everyone in the room. Dou Haowei knelt down with a bitter face and began to worship from his grandfather until he was a little dizzy before he worshipped all the uncles here.

The old man sat in the middle, and behind him was the big screen that fascinated Dou Haowei with painting many demons and monsters, and Dou Haowei's father was the son of Dou's parents, so he sat next to the old man. The rest of Dou Haowei's uncles and several uncles who were not from their own family sat on both sides in order, and the row sitting against the opposite wall in the distance were all brothers of Dou Haowei's peers.

The atmosphere in the room was tense, and Dou Haowei also knew that the tense atmosphere was all because of Dou Yandong, the fifth uncle, who was sitting in the middle of the room with his legs cross-legged in front of the old man's big thorn.

Dou Haowei naturally worshipped his fifth uncle when he just worshipped that circle, but he found that the fifth uncle's expression was a little unnatural when he smiled at him. I don't know whether it was because he was in a besieged position now or because he was tired of the situation in front of him.

When he was stunned, he heard his father say in a low voice, "Hao Wei, it's getting more and more unruly. Why don't you salute your brothers after visiting grandpa and uncles?"

Dou Haowei was excited, hurriedly got up and changed his direction, and then knelt down to salute the brothers one by one. After Shi Haowei found that the third brother squeezed his eyebrows and knew that they were probably helpless by this situation. Dou Haowei sighed, shrank his neck, got up and ran to the end of the door and sat down.

Before Dou Haowei's buttocks touched the cushion, he heard the old man speak again.

"Oh, Haowei, come here. Grandpa has something to ask you."

Here comes...

Dou Haowei thought to himself that if he couldn't grit his teeth and survive, he would not only involve the fifth uncle to suffer for nothing, but he might also ruin the prince's major event. However, I didn't consider the countermeasures when I was thinking about meeting Miss Xuanrong all the way. Now that I think about it, it's really a little inappropriate.

While thinking about how to deal with it, he came to Dou Yandong and knelt down for the old man.

"Grandpa..." Dou Haowei squeezed out a smile and said, "Looking at your strong body, your grandson is also relieved."

"Hmm." The old man looked at Dou Haowei, and his eyes seemed to tell him not to say these useless words.

When Dou Haowei saw Grandpa's eyes, he couldn't help but remember that Grandpa blamed Grandpa when he didn't recite a good book and answered the wrong question when he was a child. Although he is still the kind grandfather, but... it's terrible!

After a period of awkward tranquility, Dou Yandong spoke first.

"Old man, you have something to say. If it's okay, I have to go back to bed!"

Dou Yandong's words aggravated the already tense atmosphere in the room. Dou Haowei secretly looked up at his grandfather and clearly saw that his grandfather was enduring without getting angry.

"Hao Wei, how's the recent situation with King Xiaohan?" The old man put up with this breath and asked in a low voice.

Dou Haowei stabilized his mind, raised his head and raised his voice and said, "The people of Qilin Camp and Mr. Zeng Yanliang have arrived at the palace of Xiaohan safely. The prince is very happy to hear that they have invited their fifth uncle back." Originally, Du Yilin was going to visit Mr. Dou with Dou Haowei tomorrow, but Dou Haowei couldn't help coming back first. Naturally, Dou Haowei couldn't say, "When Haowei got the news, he rushed back immediately and wanted to ask Grandpa to tell him how to do this matter."
