Chapter 189: The temple is a rare true nature in the world.
Mu Jian Wenhua took a few steps, turned around suddenly, and asked with an embarrassed look: “Old Huangtou, this parrot shouts “father-in-law” every day. Could you be the eunuch in the Eight Kingdoms in the Spring and Autumn Period? Have you ever seen His Majesty the Emperor and Empress?”
Old Huangtou took a deep breath and smiled.
Wen Hua turned around and ran away.
The old man leaned against the back of the chair by the window, and there was a bird cage in front of the table. The parrot in the cage was old. Although it was a rare black eyebrows species with green clothes and red beaks. In the past, only the palace could afford to support it, but this one would die at some time, so it was not worth it. Self-deprecating is just a hoe here and there. The old farmer who squinted his eyes and was drowsy and murmured, “There are thousands of mountains beyond the thousands of mountains, this is the country. The pink and beautiful people in the six palaces are only seeing you, this is the beauty. The country is hard to be complete in ancient times, and the reason is even more difficult to be complete… Compared to some women, many men in the world are eunuchs.”
The parrot muttered there again: “Father-in-law, father-in-law…”
Originally, in the minds of the young Murong brothers, the King of Beiliang was just an empty name. On the unattainable border of Beiliang, there were a vast number of iron cavalry behind them. They could not imagine what a number this was. Such a great vassal king who is privately called the “Second Emperor” should be a terrifying hero who can make the dynasty shake with one foot, but it had nothing to do with them. Until Murong Wuzhu and Murong Tong arrived at the palace and moved into Wutong Garden. Taking advantage of the east wind of the crown prince, they slaughtered people on the same table several times to have dinner. Although they never dared to face it, they seemed to think that General Xu was not a moody old man. On the contrary, it was not the vassal king in the crown prince’s palace, but his eldest son Xu Fengnian. Not to mention that Murong Wuzhu couldn’t figure it out, even Murong Tonghuang was confused and had to live in Wutong Garden tremblingly. Since he was living under someone’s roof, he should have the awareness of being cautious in everything. The siblings and brothers rarely were discharged from the hospital to relax. Fortunately, there was nothing in the yard, and the ancient collection of piano, chess, calligraphy, poetry, books, and books are all priceless.
However, the maids with strange names in the yard did not give them any good looks. The eldest maid, Sweet Potato, was not bad, and was quite friendly. Cucumber and Green Ant, the second-class maids, were all full of eyebrows and eyes, which made Murong Wuzhu frightened. The so-called third-rank official of the prime minister and the governor, and the princes in charge of the affairs of the county, how could she not be afraid? However, Murong Tonghuang had to be relatively tough, and he was confident in borrowing piano and books with his maid.
What made Murong Wuzhu feel relieved was the arrival of a Qingzhou woman who also lived in Wutong Garden. It is said that this Qingzhou woman named Lu Chengyan was born into a noble family. Her ancestor was the Shangzhu Kingdom of the Dynasty. Her father, Lu Dongjiang, was already a county magistrate. She brought a young servant with double pupils into the mansion. Later, after meeting His Royal Highness the Prince, the young man with strange double pupils went to the border. These rumors spread quickly in Wutong Garden, but they were only limited to circulating in this yard. If you say that the Murong brothers are somewhat unable to fight and can hideThen the woman who came out of the first-class wealthy family was a bit confrontation with the maids. The strong-willed maid, Huo Cucumber, always sarcastically saying something strange about occupying the magpie’s nest. When the prince was there, the women maintained a seemingly harmonious atmosphere. As soon as the prince went out, the sky changed. The room was full of women, all the cold swords that were good at killing people without blood seemed to be more powerful than hundreds of flying swords coming and going. Murong Wuzhu admired Lu Chengyan very much. She watched from a distance several times, listening to her soft voice, but she could make people suffocate to death. I heard that she might be the first concubine of His Royal Highness in the future. Murong Wuzhu thought that only such a smart and fearless woman would deserve the title of concubine of Beiliang.
The King of Beiliang walked into Wutong Garden alone. Except for the maids who came forward to express their blessings and salutes, the other women stood far away and did whatever they should do. This is also the old rule. Sweet potatoes have not been with them all the way. For them, if they want to live comfortably in Wutongyuan, the most important thing is not what to do, but what not to do. Xu Xiao went directly to His Royal Highness’s room, without sitting down, and walked around and stopped, as if he was helping to collect some small objects. The room is so spacious and the light is so good that it is filled with a wide range of rare toys. In the dusk, the desk next to the window was covered with twilight afterglow, with a warm light yellow. Xu Xiao stretched out his calloused hand and slowly slid across the edge of the desk. After stopping, there was no movement for a long time. He seemed to remember something, and he chuckled gently, retracted his hands, put his hands in his sleeves, facing the window, and his eyes were from outside the window to outside the wall.
Xu Xiao turned around and looked at the girl from the Lu family standing tall at the door, waved and smiled, “Chengyan is here, come in and sit and talk, and talk with uncle.”
Lu Chengyan entered the room, and after Xu Xiao sat down, he picked up an embroidered bench and sat slightly restrainedly. Xu Xiao smiled and said, “Uncle is busy. He has not been entertained for these days. Don’t go back with Lu Zhuguo’s uncle.”
Lu Chengyan shook his head and smiled, “No.”
Xu Xiao laughed, paused, fell into memories, and sighed, “I remember the first time I went to Beijing to meet the saint, which was the old minister of the old minister Lu. He took me, a young martial artist, to the Golden Palace. It was the same path I walked together. At that time, I was wondering, why was a second-rank minister of the Ministry of Personnel willing to go side by side with a sixth-rank military officer who had just won the honor? Don’t you mind losing the price? Now Uncle Xu understands it. I have heard that Shangzhu Kingdom has understood some prophecies and divinations. It seems that he is waiting for this day now. If I knew about it, I would definitely pluck the courage to whisper the ‘old fox’ in his heart.”
Only then did Lu Chengyan, who knew that the two families had such a hot relationship, smiled with a pure look on her face, and did not reveal too much awe and curiosity.
Xu Xiao’s tone was a little weaker and said, “Uncle Xu has also heard about it in Beiliang. You girl just arrived in Beiliang, and the two old guys Wen Taiyi and Hong Lingshu were making noises in the capital. I remember Cheng Yan, you often visited their families when you were a child.Well, the two old men are really not aware of the old ones. The old ones bully the younger ones, and they live a lot of age and get back to life. If Lu Zhuguo hadn’t supported the overall situation in Qingzhou in these years, let alone the Blue Eyes were bad, there would have been no Qing Party. But then again, my family will not say polite words. If the old Shangshu gritted his teeth and held on, although the Qingshu could last for a few years, your Lu family would be suppressed by Wen and Hong. If the old Shangshu had not given up completely with the Qingshu, he would never let you come to Beiliang. In this way, the Qingshu had already cut off his only breath. “
Lu Chengyan whispered: “Old ancestors said that he was at his age and enjoyed everything he should enjoy. It is time to benefit his descendants. “
Xu Xiao finally smiled and nodded, “I just like the old Shangshu to be a honest person and speak honestly. To be honest, my uncle has never had much disgust towards the Youth Party. He wants fame, wealth, power and officials. He is straightforward and throws everything on the scale. He buys and sells as much as he weighs the weight. He is never vague. He actually has no time to deal with such a person. Wen and Hong are old, but they don’t learn the best from Zhang Julu and Gu Jiantang in Beijing, but they learn the bad ones very well. Originally, the Youth Party did not have the auxiliary talents and Jingwei strategies that could be taken advantage of. The Youth Party that did not join forces could withstand others’ troubles. It’s a pity that the relaxation will fall apart. “
Lu Chengyan naturally didn’t dare to talk to him.
Xu Xiao mocked himself: “What are you doing when you tell me about these things? Uncle originally wanted to chat with you. Alas, this man is so old that he is confused. “
Lu Chengyan blinked and said softly, “Uncle Xu, tell me about His Royal Highness when he was a child.”
Xu Xiao made a vague move, but instead of rejecting the Lu girl’s suggestion, he retreated to the hidden dead soldier. Then he smiled at Lu Chengyan and said, “This statement may be when it will stop. “
Lu Chengyan said with a bright smile: “Wait until Uncle Xu says he is tired! “
Xu Xiao waved, obviously in a good mood, and smiled and said, “Come on, come on, sit close and say, uncle likes to nag this. When Feng Nian was there, he refused to say that, and uncle could not find someone who would listen to these sincerely in the past. It happened to be the right thing to catch you, a girl. “
Time passed, and Lu Chengyan realized that Uncle Xu was actually a very talkative old man. When talking about the interesting and embarrassing things of His Royal Highness when he was a child, his gray and white eyebrows were full of spoilage and pride. At this time, Uncle Xu was no different from the kind ancestors in his family. When he talked about his outstanding descendants, he was reluctant to use a heavy tone. During this period, the eldest maid, Sweet Soup, brought in a food box, filled with exquisite pastries and quenching thirst, and the old man was intrigued with no airs. He peeled sweet oranges for Lu Chengyan several times. The night lighting of His Royal Highness’s residence was not orchid paste and candles. There were many mysterious mechanisms on the beams in the room. I didn’t know how the sweet potatoes were moving, so many night pearls embedded there were exposed. The bright hall in the room was no different from the daytime. The key was that the light was soft.Being in it for a long time will not make people feel dazzling and exhausted. Lu Chengyan did not see the ordinary luxury of the world imagined by the bell and the tripod food in the Beiliang Palace, but he saw the foundation and courage of Beiliang in countless details. It was not until Sweet Potato handed over a gorgeous embroidered velvet cushion that Lu Chengyan saw the warmth in the eyes of the first-class maid and the slightly raised corners of the plump beauty’s mouth that she knew that she had barely integrated into Wutong Garden at this moment.
As the sky got darker, Xu Xiao finally stood up and asked Lu Chengyan to see him off. He walked straight out of the house and shouted sweet potato when he arrived at the yard.
