Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 208 Injury

Coming out of the conference hall, Li Tian was sent back to Nanny Wu as usual, and then back to the main courtyard.

Mammy Xiong signaled Qingzhi to take a few steps behind, and said to Li Tian in a low voice: "What's wrong? Why did Mrs. Qiao suddenly get angry?"

"It's nothing." After a long pause, Li Tian answered Madam Xiong's words: "Discuss with Madam Wen, find a suitable reason, and send out all the people we know, leaving no one behind, Madam Qiao. Let Mammy find someone to pass a message, or she will ask her to leave the mansion, or she will keep kneeling down." Mammy Xiong was startled, seeing that Li Tian was speechless for a while, Li Tian stopped and stretched out his arms to hold her. Grandma Xiong sighed and said, "Mammy, you know the situation in our house, Wulang has already made up his mind, we can only follow him all the way to the dark. It makes perfect sense, I know driving these people away is tearing face off with them, but sooner or later the face will be torn off, so let’s break it up.”

"Well, it's good that you and Master Wu make up your mind. The old lady once said that you can't look left and right when you are doing big things, but just go straight ahead when you make up your mind. The girl has it in mind." Xiong Mama gently pulled out her arm, Lovingly arranging Li Tian's clothes, he said: "This is the palace, it's not good for a girl to be seen like this." Li Tian nodded with a smile, and walked back after discussing with Madam Xiong.

At noon, the fifth prince came out from the Ministry of Industry. Huang Jingjie's confidant and Chang Fu hurried out from the opposite tea house. The fifth prince walked over in surprise and said, "Your shopkeeper is back?"

"Yes." Chang Fu was dressed in plain clothes and looked haggard, and finally responded with a bow: "I entered the city this morning, let the little one stay here to guard the fifth master and say that the big shopkeeper is now in Qingfeng Building."

"Yeah." The fifth prince responded, then turned his head and told Lian Qing, the little servant, "Go and tell Mr. Jiang Liu, I have something urgent and can't go there, so I will ask him to accompany me someday." Lian Qing agreed, five The prince got on his horse and hurried to Qingfeng Tower.

Huang Jingjie was already waiting at the back door of Qingfeng Tower, the fifth prince looked him up and down, Huang Jingjie was dressed in filial piety, he was even more haggard than Changfu, he had lost a lot of weight, the fifth prince frowned and said, "Why did you come back in such a hurry?"

"Go in and talk about it." Huang Jingjie's voice was hoarse, the fifth prince nodded, and asked as he walked: "Changfu said that you just arrived this morning, and you drove all night yesterday?"

"Yes, I came all the way by car. Even though I travel day and night, I can't sleep. I went to the city early in the morning. I ate and slept for two hours." Huang Jingjie knew what the fifth prince meant, and explained carefully. The fifth prince was relieved. With a sigh of relief, the footsteps quickened, and the two entered the small courtyard by the lake. Chang Gui had already brought someone to set up the meals, and the two waiters sat down and retreated with their hands down.

"It was the old lady who ordered me before I left, so that I will set off immediately and rush back to the capital." Huang Jingjie said in a hoarse voice, the face of the fifth prince changed slightly, Huang Jingjie took out a flat Tianhuangshi seal from his arms and handed it To the fifth prince, the fifth prince was stunned when he took it. It was half a seal, neatly cut in half from the middle.

"This is the seal of the Patriarch of the Huang family." Huang Jingjie's face was full of bitterness: "When I arrived in Datong Mansion, the old man was already dying, and he waited for me with ginseng soup emphatically, just to give me this half of the seal. The old master's last decree." Huang Jingjie's voice was choked up, and he spread a piece of white silk in front of the fifth prince: "After the old master dies, my second child and I will be in charge of the Huang family."

"I asked you to return to Beijing to manage the business of Huang's family immediately after you became the uniform, but Huang Jingming was asked to stay in a hut in front of the grave for three years. What happened?" The fifth prince swept the white silk quickly, and asked in amazement, Huang Jingjie's voice He said in a very low voice: "The fifth master wants a car and horse dealership. Who would have thought that Wu Da, who is in charge of the dowry shop for Mrs. Sun in the Wangfu of Dongyang County, found the second child and wanted to pay a high price for all the investment of the Huang family in various escort agencies?" The members, the second brother was greedy for the high price given by the shopkeeper Wu, and thought about giving up the car and horse, so he sold all the members to the shopkeeper Wu at a high price."

The fifth prince sat upright, his face as green as iron, and he sneered after a while: "Coveting high prices? Did the old man tell you to say that? When I was a child of six or seven years old? Huang Jingming's eyes are higher than the top, Will you be greedy for this little money?" Huang Jingjie lowered his eyelids and silently did not answer, the fifth prince patted the white silk again and asked: "Where did shopkeeper Wu find Huang Jingming? The capital or Datong Mansion?"

"Datong Mansion."

"Don't the old man know?"

"The old man is seriously ill. The old man only found out after Huang Jingming sold it secretly."

The fifth prince stretched out his hand to pick up the half of the Tianhuangshi seal, twirled it a few times between his fingers, looked at Huang Jingjie and said with a sneer, "Do you believe this? I don't know much about the rules of the Huang family. For such an important event as members of the bodyguard bureau, this patriarch's seal is indispensable, don't tell me Huang Jingming stole the seal while the old man was seriously ill." Huang Jingjie hung his head in silence, the fifth prince took a deep breath, and took the half of Tian Huangshi's seal again On the table: "The old man is really powerful. He even calculated his own death and used it!"

Huang Jingjie didn't know what he thought of, tears welled up in his eyes, the fifth prince looked at him, and sighed heavily: "You also know it in your heart, this is not Huang Jingming's idea, if Huang Jingming has this kind of mind, the old lady will not make a mistake and borrow you again, This is the old man's plan, and it's an idea that is both right and wrong, if the Huang family doesn't tell me about my car and horse trip, how would Mrs. Sun know?" The fifth prince suddenly stopped talking, staring blankly at the deserted lake outside the window, After a while, he said in a sleepy voice: "Master Huang has known Mrs. Sun for a long time, before me and you." Huang Jingjie shivered slightly.

The fifth prince suddenly stood up and walked to the window, pounding on the window sill and said: "The old man is not an ordinary person if he can bring the Huang family from a rich family to the north. This is the old man's plan, so good plan!" Huang Jingjie sat down At the table, as if he didn't hear the words of the fifth prince, he stared at the lake with a sad face.

"What are your plans?" After a while, the fifth prince's expression calmed down, he turned around and sat back at the table, looked at Huang Jingjie and asked directly, Huang Jingjie was stunned, looked at the fifth prince and said: "Don't think too much. Many, the second child has to keep mourning in front of the grave for three years."

"I know." The fifth prince poured a glass of wine and drank it all. He picked out his favorite dish from the pot and said as he ate, "This is a surefire plan. I will cut the Huang family in two and send you to come and follow me." I'm going all out, I'm fighting for the wealth of the Huang family, if I can't fight well, your half will be smashed to pieces, Huang Jingming's half has long been married to Mrs. Sun, and now I'm offering it to the Escort Bureau. In three years, no matter how serious the disaster will be, what are your plans?"

"I listen to your orders." Huang Jingjie's words were direct and calm. The fifth prince poured another glass of wine and drank it down. He squinted at Huang Jingjie and said suddenly, "Tell me about my mother." Huang Jingjie looked at the five in astonishment. Prince, the fifth prince poured another glass of wine, raised the glass and said: "Tell me what you know, the more detailed the better, let's talk."

"There's nothing to talk about. Your mother and I... There are differences inside and out. I haven't seen her a few times." Huang Jingjie's throat tightened. This was the last topic he wanted to talk about. He didn't want to talk about her with anyone.

The fifth prince squinted his eyes and looked at him. He couldn't tell what was wrong with his eyes. After drinking six or seven glasses of wine in a row, he was already a little drunk: "Why did the old man let you go to Beijing? If you don't go to Beijing, you will be like the second child." , can you get half of the seal? You are in the capital, the old man can be at ease in everything, so much more at ease... than he himself is in the capital, uh!" The fifth prince hiccupped, Huang Jingjie hurriedly got up and poured him a cup of tea, the fifth prince He took a sip and drank it, threw the cup on the table and continued: "I am the most valuable thing in your old man's hands. It is a rare commodity to live in. He will never allow me to make any mistakes. Tell me, how can he trust you so much?"

Huang Jingjie's face became paler and paler when he heard that, the fifth prince stretched out his hand, patted him on the shoulder heavily and said: "I look like this, the number one in the capital! But daddy said, I'm not half as good-looking as aunt, daddy still remembers auntie , Because Auntie is good-looking, a beautiful woman who can overwhelm the city, a gentle lady, a gentleman is so good, Auntie is not from your Huang family, right? I know it all! You are an idiot, I am not Auntie, Auntie is dead, she died a long time ago! You think about it, it's not good to be broken into pieces, don't you still have a wife and children?"

"You're drunk! Can you talk nonsense?" Huang Jingjie's face was pale and without a trace of color, he hurriedly grabbed the wine glass and jug from the fifth prince's hand, and called for someone to bring in the hangover soup.The fifth prince threw him away vigorously, shook him a few times and stopped, looked at him with a bright smile and said: "No, I'm not drunk, you don't know how much I can drink, I'll go back first, you think about it, think about it, think about it Myself, think about my wife, children and brothers again, think about it before talking, I don’t blame you for anything, thank you for taking care of me all these years.” After finishing speaking, before Huang Jingjie could speak, he turned around and left, walking lightly fast.

The fifth prince had just left the Qingfeng Tower and hadn't gone far. He bumped into Jiang Zhengyuan, the prince of Linchuan, and Liu Shumin, the grandson of Liu Qiyun, a scholar. When the two saw him, they were overjoyed. Qingfenglou dragged you out, today I can't do anything without you, so I have to borrow your golden mask no matter what!"

"Borrow me the golden noodles? What kind of golden noodles can I borrow?" The fifth prince drank in a hurry just now. Although he was dizzy, he was very clear. Jiang Zhengyuan also urged his horse to come over. Seeing that the fifth prince was a little drunk, he asked with concern: "Is there not much wine?"

"It's okay, which piece of gold noodles do you want to borrow from me?" The fifth prince replied to Jiang Zhengyuan, then turned to look at Liu Shumin and asked, Liu Shumin laughed and said, "Just lend me the gold noodles of you, the most beautiful man in the capital and the uncrowned king of pinks." Come on, haven’t you heard that all the oiran shops in the capital are shutting their doors and not entertaining guests today?”
