Chapter 105: Sending a small fortune to the allure (middle) (3)
Manager Huang paused for a while and said: "The son knows. The old lady is actually reluctant to give up. But for the two masters, there is really no way. I hope the son will understand."
I looked at his somewhat vicissitudes of face and said: "Cousin knows that I am grateful that the old lady is too late, let alone blame her."
Because there were not many customers in the store, it was quiet for a while, and the guys in the store had finished their work and got together to chat. I didn't care at first, they were talking about trivial things in the market, it was just which customer was generous and whose daughter was beautiful.
I listened without a word, and they somehow came to the topic of immortals.
Suddenly, the junior who greeted us before said: "Last night I kept the shop and heard a very moving song in the middle of the night. It sounds better than that in the Yan family. But no one in our town has this ability. Then I followed the direction of the music, but guess what?"
Everyone looked at him with their eyes wide open, and I was shocked, but found that Mr. Huang's eyes were looking at me, and the meaning on his face was unclear.
I calmly picked up a chop of vegetables and slowly brought it to my mouth, and smiled and said to Manager Huang: "At yesterday's speed, when can we get to Hanyang?"
Manager Huang immediately returned to his calm look and replied respectfully with a smile on his face: "According to yesterday, I should be able to arrive after noon today."
I nodded and groaned for a while before continuing: "Then I will say goodbye to you today, and I hope you will thank the old lady for me when you go back, and..."
I stopped and said, "I walked in a hurry. I didn’t have time to tell the maids. I hope you can find a good support for them when you go back. In addition, take care of Linglong secretly. We know her mother’s mind. The matter has not been found out, and it cannot be delayed."
My eyes were heavy, and General Manager Huang's complexion deepened: "Don't worry, the old lady cares about small..." He looked around, and I nodded, understanding what he meant.
Standing up, the little second had sharp eyes, and immediately walked over: "A total of twenty cents, guest officer."
Manager Huang took out the usual money from his sleeve and gave it to him, and suddenly asked, "What happened then?"
"Huh?" The Xiaoer was looking at the money in his hand, but Manager Huang suddenly asked him without responding.
I turned to look at Mr. Huang, his eyes were sly and sophisticated.
The little Er smiled and said, "I saw the fairy in the end."
"Oh?" Manager Huang seemed to be interested, his eyes gleaming with curiosity: "Fairy, then you are so lucky. What kind of fairy?"
My heart hung up a little bit, it didn't seem to be my illusion last night, I already had the answer in my heart. However, my heart became flustered.
"It's a man, wearing white clothes, very clean, just like new. The material is also very good, you can see the silver embroidery from a distance." The little second "tsk tut" praised: "I am here anyway. For many years, I have never seen such good clothes. If it is not a fairy, what can it be?"
Manager Huang smiled: "What then?"
Seeing Mr. Huang's interest, the little second got up and continued: "The fairy is standing under a laurel tree, blowing a jade flute. That look, that manner, that look..." The little second said with emotion: "I Dare to say that no one in this world has that kind of temperament."
After thinking about it, he added: "I have seen some princes and grandsons in Beijing, and they can be seen in the world, but I was really surprised yesterday. What's more, it's midnight. How can ordinary people run out and play the flute without sleeping? what."
He talked so much that Mr. Huang glanced at me, shook his head, his face fell silent.
I pretended not to see it and said softly: "Uncle Cousin, it's time to go." After that, I walked out of the inn without looking back.
Outside, there is a pure sky.
The carriage continued to travel, and I half raised the curtain and looked outside.
Manager Huang has been sitting in front of the car and has not spoken, but his brows are slightly frowning with concern. I looked at the trees and people passing by outside, and my heart was heavy.
After being quiet for a long time, I said: "Manager Huang, I still have something to entrust with you. I have a close-knit maid, who is now the concubine next to the emperor. If the manager is convenient, I should take care of her. After all, she was once the person next to me. , I'm afraid that someone will have a grudge. And Hui Ju, I don’t know how the Queen Mother will tell the emperor when I go, but the Queen Mother will definitely not let them be implicated. Then she must be sent to the other palace. Yes. Please help when you arrive."
Manager Huang responded one by one: "Don't worry, I will do my best if the old slave can do it."
I was relieved after hearing what he said, because Mr. Huang has been around the Queen Mother for many years, and he is also an old man in the palace. He is appreciated by the Queen Mother, so he speaks well.
"Niang, the old slave only sends the Niang Niang to Hanyang, you must be careful afterwards. No matter where you go, you must take care of yourself. The old slave has served in the palace for so many years, and you have never seen a concubine as kind as you. The queen mother was also very touched. However, it is a pity that there is no one to take care of her on the way. If there is, it would be great."
I laughed softly: "What mother, I am not anymore. Manager Huang can take care of himself. You know the dangers of this harem better than I do."
Manager Huang looked at me for a long time, but after all, he didn't say anything.
At 10 o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived in Hanyang. This is the only place to go to the capital and it is naturally very prosperous. We stopped in front of a restaurant. Manager Huang looked at the wine flag waving in the wind, then looked at me and said, "Niangniang, right here, the old slave will leave for you."
There are a few simple dishes on the table, I chose the position next to the window, and there are no others around. I leaned against the railing to watch the people coming and going outside, and from now on, I will be the most common of all living beings.
Mr. Huang sat aside, the food and drink were ready. His hand pouring wine trembled slightly. I can't see it.
"Manny, the old slave will do it for you." He said, handing a glass of wine to me.
I looked down at the wine, it smelled so mellow, and the color and fragrance tempted people to drink it. My eyes fell on General Huang for a long time, his eyes flashed, but he still met me.
I smiled slightly, closed my eyes, and looked up to drink.
With a "pop", the wine glass was about to reach my lips but it broke into pieces. At the same time, there was another "pop", and the jug in front of him broke into several pieces, and all the wine flowed out. The wine wandered down my arm and disappeared into the ground in a flash.
I looked up in amazement and met Manager Huang's flustered gaze. We looked around but saw no one.
Manager Huang gave a wry smile and said to me: "Manny, don't blame the queen mother."
I woke up, in fact, I had already expected it, didn't I?
How could the Queen Mother allow me to continue to live in this world? This wine is supposed to be the bad wine brought out from the palace by Director Huang. Sweet and mellow, but it kills people instantly. Manager Huang asked the store for a bottle of wine again. This time, he made a glass before pour it to me.
He hesitated for a moment and said: "Niang Niang, this is the end of the matter, and the old slave is not embarrassing Niang Niang, but hopes that Niang Niang must be careful in everything from now on. There is a long way to go, Niang Niang takes care."
Then he took out a small baggage and gave it to me: "The things here may be useful to my mother in the future."
I took it in doubt and wanted to open it, but Manager Huang stretched out his hand and stopped: "Please look at you later."
I nodded. The package is heavy, there seems to be heavy objects in it.
Manager Huang raised his wine glass: "The old slave gave the empress here to go!" After talking, he drank.
I looked at the white porcelain cup in my hand, raised my head and drank it.
