The joy that couldn't be concealed made the corners of Li Yanzhou's lips rise, "Mother, it's cold on the ground, you should call the star map up!"
”Madame slowly came back to her senses and said softly: "Master Long, please get up, don't be polite!"
”"Mrs.
Xie."
Long Xingtu got up and said, "Disturbing Mrs. today, there is really an important matter to inquire about, it is related to the national case, and I implore Mrs. to give advice." ”"Master Long, please come in and talk.""
Yes."
After entering the hall, Long Xingtu also greeted the Hou Ye with a pious bow and explained his intentions.Hou Ye said with a smile: "That night, the incident happened suddenly, Ben Hou did not ask Master Long for permission, so he privately recommended Master Long, and put Master Long in danger, it is Ben Hou's sin, and it should be Ben Hou to apologize and thank Master Long!"
”Long Xingtu said softly: "Master Hou is serious, he has a skill, and being able to serve the country is the blessing of the star map, and it is also the duty of the star map." ”"Father, there is a new problem on the fourth prince's side, and the child will discuss it with you alone.Xingtu stayed to ask his mother about some things about Fanbang, is it okay?
”Li Yanzhou interjected.Hou Ye bowed: "Okay, let's go to the study." ”Li Yanzhou didn't walk simply, he was both comforting and entrusting, "Mother, the child will take care of his body, don't worry about it."
In addition, please take care of the star chart, she is the most important guest of the child. ”Xu is heart is empty, Long Xingtu's face is hot, and he feels that his face will be lost by Li Yanzhou sooner or later!
Sure enough, it's a man who is verbose about his mother-in-law!"
Master, I've never seen Yanzhou attach so much importance to his friends."
Madame was surprised, and couldn't help but secretly look at the Dragon Star Chart, and exclaimed: "Well, he is a handsome and courteous son, don't say that Yanzhou likes it, I look at it, and I like it too." ”"Madame has an excessive reputation, and the star map is ashamed."
Afraid of being seen something, Long Xingtu tried his best to keep calm, and scolded Li Yanzhou in his heart.Hou Ye smiled: "Du Mingcheng wrote to say that when he was in Wuyang County, Master Long saved the life of Yanzhou, this great kindness, Ben Hou and his wife want to repay Master Long!"
In the future, Master Long is not only a friend of Yanzhou, but also the most honored guest of the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion!
”Hearing this, Long Xingtu hurriedly said: "Master Hou, madam, don't take it to heart, the young Lord Hou also saved me, we are friends and help each other, it is all right."
Now the investigation is important, and when the coming day is long, Xingtu will chat with the two of you again. ”Hou Ye was pleased, "Okay, when the case is over, Ben Hou will definitely have a good time with Master Long, and he will rest when he gets drunk!"
”After that, the father and son left.The butler served refreshments and sent the people off.Long Xingtu got straight to the point and said: "Madam, time is pressing, Xingtu will not go around the corner, if there is any verbal rudeness, I hope Mrs.
Haihan." ”Madame smiled gently, "It's okay, you can ask casually, as long as it is something I know, I must know everything." ”"Thank you, ma'am."
Long Xingtu said: "You are the niece of the Empress Dowager, who grew up in Fanbang since childhood, do you know if there are bellflower lanterns in Fanbang?"
What does this mean?
”Mrs. was slightly stunned: "The poor people in Fanbang mostly use horse lanterns, and lanterns are used by large families.The border trade between the Xia Dynasty and Fanbang has been open for many years, and all kinds of lanterns of the Xia Dynasty have been introduced to Fanbang, and the lamps are also rich and have all kinds of patterns.However, I have never heard that the lantern has a special meaning, and for the people of Fanbang, it only serves as a light. ”"What, then, is the difference between a handmaiden and an ordinary woman?"
Long Xingtu continued to ask.Madame thought for a moment and said, "The envoy girl will come with the mission of harmony, and she must come from the family of the minister of Fanbang."
After the marriage of the previous maid, the Khan would appoint the next maid to replace him, and the minister who would take over the order must give birth to a healthy daughter within a year, and then tattoo a red lotus on the bottom of the child's feet, which means a holy daughter who will not be stained by the mud.After that, after 100 days, the child was sent to the Mahayana monastery, isolated from the world, and could not even see his parents, until he was 12 years old, he could enter the world. ”"Before the maid and her relatives, can they leave the border of Fanbang?""
No, you can't."
The question that Long Xingtu had been unable to figure out in his heart gradually became clear.As a maid, Meng Yu has never been to Fengyang before, but she has a relationship with Fengyang, unless......
Madame suddenly said again: "Master Long, I remember that the Empress Dowager said that before a maid is married, she must have a palace guard on her left arm. ”"Thank you, ma'am.This information is very important, and you should go back to it again to see if there is anything missing. ”Long Xingtu said slightly excitedly.Madame shook her head, "Other......
I've been away from Fanbang for so many years that I can't remember. ”Long Xingtu thought for a moment, "By the way, madam, do you know the envoy Meng Jian?"
”Mrs. sighed faintly: "Although the Mengshi clan is a big clan in Fanbang, I left my hometown at the age of sixteen and fled to the Xia Dynasty, and I have never returned, and I have no contact with Fanbang, and I am actually a little strange about the people and things in Fanbang. ”"Run?"
The dragon star map was taken aback.The painful memories of the long time were recalled, and the lady pressed her heart with her hand, and her voice was a little fluttering, "The first emperor had not yet ascended the throne, and my aunt was not favored in the prince's mansion, because my aunt had a quiet temperament, and would not compete for favor or flattery, and there were some wicked people in the Fanbang court, so I moved my mind and took advantage of the softness of my family to frame my father for rebellion, and my father got the news in advance and sent someone to send me to the Xia Dynasty to join my aunt."
Soon after, the king of Khan exterminated my father's family, and my aunt married me to the brave general of the Xia Dynasty in order to save my life, which is today's Marquis of Anguo.After the death of the first emperor, my cousin succeeded to the throne as the emperor, and my aunt was respected as the queen mother.I don't want to go back to the land that hurt me, my relatives are all in the Xia Dynasty, even if I die, I am a ghost of the Xia Dynasty, and I have nothing to do with Fanbang. ”The tears in Long Xingtu's eyes were tumbling rapidly, she never knew that the lady who always had a kind smile on her face had a similar life experience to her!
She opened her mouth several times, wanting to call "auntie", but it seemed like something was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't make a sound......
But Madame was frightened by the reaction of the Dragon Star Map, "Master Long, you ......
What happened to you?
Isn't it me ......"
"Sorry ma'am, it's the star map that is out of shape!"
”Long Xingtu quickly sorted out his emotions, "I just heard about Madame's family affairs, and I was sad. ”Madame laughed with tears: "Things that have not been mentioned for many years, I don't know how to turn them out today, delaying Master Long's precious time, I ......
I'm sorry too. ”"No, it's a blessing for the star map to be able to talk to my wife today."
Long Xingtu got up and bowed again: "Xingtu is on official business, retire first, I hope Mrs. take care!"
”
