Chapter 53: reminisce

Views:

Duan Ling was leaning on the couch. The girls looked at him for a while. Duan Ling waved his hand and said sincerely, "Please come back and let me rest for a while."

Someone went out to look for the prostitute, and the prostitute came over after a while and said, "Master, the girls are just to accompany the wine."

"No need." Duan Ling said, "Pay as you go. You can do as much as you want. Find the master next door to get it."

The old bustard rolled his eyes, as if he had understood something, but he didn't point it out. After all, it was not easy to ignore the guests, so he said to Duan Ling, "The one who plays the piano, come in and listen to the master's instructions."

Duan Ling thought that it should be possible, so the old lady went out to pass the news, and a little waiter came in after a while.

Duan Ling: "..."

The little waiter, with red lips and white teeth, was very gentle and came over to sit beside Duan Ling and asked, "Press the button for the son?"

Duan Ling waved his hand and said, "You also go out, no need."

The waiter was stunned for a moment, and Duan Ling thought that since everyone is here, let's stay for now, so he changed his words: "Forget it, you stay for now, don't let anyone come in."

The waiter sat down and poured wine and fed it to Duan Ling, but Duan Ling said, "I don't drink."

Duan Ling was not only afraid of talking in his sleep, but also afraid that he would be killed by talking nonsense when he was drunk, so he did not drink a drop of alcohol. When he saw this, the servant had to pick up some dishes and feed it into Duan Ling's mouth. Duan Ling was shocked by thunder in his heart, but he didn't like to despise the little shepherd. Everyone was a hard worker, so he nodded, praised him a few words, and said, "You are beautiful."

"Young master is beautiful." The waiter said with a smile.

"Beautiful person." Duan Ling was quite touched, and said, "Always take advantage of it, looking out from the eyes, the world will be more peaceful, because ordinary people will smile at him when they see him."

The waiter didn't expect Duan Ling to suddenly feel such a life emotion, so he could only smile awkwardly.

"You sit." Duan Ling said, "You don't have to serve." He pointed at the other end of the couch, and the waiter had to sit quietly.

Duan Ling said to him again: "The reward will not be small, you should rest."

The waiter sat for a while, but he didn't expect Duan Ling's aura to be too strong, and there was nothing he could do. After a while, he said, "What do you like to eat, sir? I'll go to the kitchen and cook it for you."

"Wonton." Duan Ling replied, "I just ate it, it would be good to have some fruit."

The little waiter bowed and went out, the old bustard outside asked a few questions, and when he heard "I don't like it", the little waiter left. Duan Ling thought to himself that it would be best not to disturb him.

Leaning on the couch, he saw grapes, which were very rare, so he ate a few, sweet and sour, the more he ate, the more he liked them, so he held a plate and started to eat, while thinking about his own life events. On weekdays, many things were stacked in one place, which made him at a loss. Now he slowly thought about many things. For example, he heard Mu Kuangda and Changpin talk about "a marriage of unity" last night.

On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month this year, he will be sixteen years old. If his father is still there, he will definitely find a daughter-in-law for him, but he has never thought about it. Everything is very far away. Is it like that "Prince"? Marrying a big family? In the past, when spring came, there was always desire in his body | hope to find a place to vent, but now, it is actually one of the feelings, and I don't feel much.

Remember when? Maybe it started after he came to Xichuan and was poisoned by Lang Junxia. Duan Ling's voice was still a little hoarse and he never recovered. What kind of wife does he want to marry? What kind of son will be born

Duan Ling felt that he couldn't be a good father. He wasn't ready. If he couldn't give his children happiness, then he would never give birth. His own life was on the line, so how could he be a drag on his children? But when I think about it carefully, my father was also wandering, and he didn't even see him for thirteen years after he was born... Looking back on the past, Duan Ling still loved him.

But he has had enough of that kind of suffering. He can't think about getting married unless he returns to where he should sit. Maybe this goal will never be achieved in his entire life... Even if one day the great exhibition ancestors bless him and let him be Emperor, but intrigues in the court, it is not easy to be your own child.

Rather than being a normal person...

Duan Ling's thoughts followed the sound of silk and bamboo outside, changing to and fro, and someone knocked on the door and came in directly.

"The head of the house asked me to serve the young master." A thick male voice said.

The visitor was a burly man, tall, burly and sturdy. He wore a small white coat with an open chest, held a food box, and closed the door with one foot behind him.

Duan Ling spit out a sip of tea immediately.

"Master?" The strong man hurriedly came up to him, and wanted to feed him grapes.

"Sit for me!" Duan Ling said immediately, "Don't move!"

The sturdy man with strong muscles, bronze complexion, rough eyebrows, strong Confucian martial arts, and quite the charm of a heroic man, smiled bluntly at Duan Ling.

Duan Ling was like one Buddha was born, two Buddhas ascended to heaven, one hand held his forehead, and he was speechless.

I don't know where this man came from. He must not be a resident servant in the Qunfang Pavilion.

"Young master is really handsome, can I sing you a song?" said the strong man.

Duan Ling immediately said: "Brother, no need, you can just sit."

The strong man nodded wisely and asked, "Where is the young master from?"

Duan Ling: "..."

The strong man said: "The head of the Qunfangyuan paid me to come here. The young master has to ask me to do something. At first I didn't want to come, but you are handsome..."

"Drinking the bar." Duan Ling thought that it was not easy for everyone, so he replaced the wine with tea and signaled him to drink. , since you are full, then…”

"You sit for me!" Duan Ling finally couldn't bear it anymore.

The strong man had to sit properly.

After a while, someone knocked on the door again, Duan Ling was about to play crazy, and complained bitterly: "Who is it?"

"Me." Wu Du said, then pushed open the door and came in. He saw a strong man sitting on the inside of the room, staring at Duan Ling with big eyes.

Wu Du: "..."

Duan Ling: "..."

"What is this?" Wu Du's expression was extremely wonderful.

Just as the strong man was about to explain, Duan Ling held his forehead, fearing that it would get darker and darker, he said to the strong man, "Go out."

The man finally left, leaving Wu Du and Duan Ling, Duan Ling looked at Wu Du with questioning eyes.

"How did you come?"

"I asked a question in the next room." Wu Du said casually, "Young master, the men don't like it, and the women don't like it either, so I have to come and serve in person."

Duan Ling burst into laughter, Wu Du could not laugh or cry, looked at Duan Ling and said, "Don't you have the same disease as Mu Qing... That hidden disease?"

"Ah?" Duan Ling asked blankly, "What hidden disease?"

"That's all." Wu Du was too lazy to talk to him, sitting by the couch, Duan Ling said, "Is your friend here yet?"

"No." Wu Du said, "I thought about it for a while, why don't I go back."

Duan Ling understood, Wu Du should be making some choices tonight, should he leave the Prime Minister's Mansion and find another way to make a living? or stay here? He hoped that Wu Du would not leave, otherwise his situation would be even more terrifying, but he still needed to think clearly about such important life events. He didn't dare to help Wu Du to make a decision, the two were silent for a moment, Duan Ling turned to his side and rested on Wu Du's lap, while Wu Du sat blankly.

"Let's go." Wu Du said, "Go home."

Duan Ling breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Wu Du planned to stay in the Prime Minister's mansion, but he heard someone say, "Sir, your friend is here, right next door."

"I'll go and meet him for a while." Wu Du said to Duan Ling, "You wait here for a few words."

Duan Ling nodded, and Wu Du got up and left.

The lights in the Tianzihao room were dimmed, Wu Du pushed the door in, and someone outside closed the door.

"Long time no see, Wu Qing." A voice said, "Please take a seat."

Under the dim light, Lang Junxia sat on one side and poured wine into a glass, while Cai Yan sat on the couch in the middle, looked directly at Wu Du, smiled at him, and nodded.

"Meet Your Royal Highness." Wu Du took a step forward and knelt down on one knee. Cai Yan hurriedly stepped forward and supported Wu Du. As soon as he touched it, Wu Du stood up and stepped back half a step.

Cai Yan made a "please sit" gesture again, but Wu Du did not sit, but stood quietly.

"So in a hurry?" Lang Junxia said lightly.

Wu Du took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "If you have anything, please say it, Your Highness."

"The most memorable meeting with you was at the famous hall in Shangjing." Cai Yan said, "I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, so many years have passed. If it doesn't open, I'll come to you in advance."

Wu Du replied: "I collided with His Royal Highness back then. It was my fault that deserved death. Everyone has their own masters, and Wu Du is also a last resort."

"Everyone is their master, naturally I won't blame you." Cai Yan said with a smile, "Wu Qing going to just stand and talk to me like this?"

Wu Du then walked to the side and sat down.

"This glass of wine is to thank you for taking back my father's body."

When Cai Yan waited until Lang Junxia put the wine glass in front of Wu Du, Fang raised the glass to him, Wu Du took the glass, and glanced at it, thinking that no matter what, he would not get an axe in front of the poison expert, so the three of them drank it. do.

"I haven't found you in these days." Cai Yan said, "It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't."

Wu Du was silent for a long time, then glanced at Lang Junxia, and then looked at the crown prince "Li Rong", Cai Yan added: "Before my father died, only two people followed him, one was Wuluohou, and the other was you. After returning to court, My first thought was to let you enter the palace. But I already have Wuluo Hou around, and recruiting you again would be overkill, so I have to make other arrangements. I think you understand all of them, so I won't say more. ."

Wu Du was startled for a moment, then as if he understood something, he narrowed his eyes.

Lang Junxia quietly looked at the glass of wine in front of him, and remained silent.

"In the early morning of this day, the shepherd minister was on the case of moving the capital. I think it can't be delayed any longer." Cai Yan said, "To see you tonight is a risky move for both you and me, but once the capital is moved, it will be a trip. , there will be changes in personnel, if you do not inform you in advance, you will be more restricted."

Cai Yan looked at Wu Du expectantly, as if hoping that he would react, but Lang Junxia and Wu Du in the hall were like two wooden sculptures, each of which was silent.

"Wu Qing, what do you think?" Cai Yan asked gently, "Might as well say a word."

Wu Du let out a long sigh and said, "The other day when His Highness was so angry that he took care of me for being ineffective in defending the late emperor, I thought you really wanted to kill me, but now that I think about it, I can't help but relieve a knot in my heart."

After speaking, Wu Du walked up to Cai Yan, bowed and knelt on the ground, and bowed to Cai Yan. Cai Yan hurriedly came up to help him. This time, he was sincere and asked him to stand up.

"It was I who wronged you." Cai Yan had tears in his eyes, and his eyes were red.

"After moving the capital to Jiangzhou." Cai Yan said, "I need to set up a Imperial Guard Division. I haven't decided what the name will be, but the one I will use must be someone I trust. After much deliberation, only you are the right one. candidate."

Wu Du was silent again, and Cai Yan said again: "According to my assumption, the Imperial Guard Division must reorganize the original shadow team of my Da Chen, and build an intelligence agency to spy on the enemy's situation and investigate the domestic situation. You are now under the command of Minister Mu, he I won't doubt you."

Wu Du frowned slightly, while Lang Junxia kept observing Wu Du's expression.

"His Royal Highness..." Wu Du seemed to be doing some difficult thinking.

"You don't have to answer me now." Cai Yan raised his hand, blocking Wu Du's words, and said, "After you go back, you have time to think, this time I wanted to thank you, but the gold and silver jewelry will inevitably humiliate you. Treat my innocent heart..."

Hearing this, Wu Du's eyes suddenly turned red. After Li Jianhong's sacrifice, Wu Du rushed to Shangjing and took back Emperor Wu Lie's body. When he returned to the court, Li Yanqiu was furious and took him into custody. A few months later, Wuluohoumu came back to protect the prince. The prince wanted to put him to death, but Mu Kuangda wrote a letter and saved his life.

In these days, no one understands him, and no one sympathizes with him. Until today, the shackles on him have been taken off with the phrase "heart of a child".
