Chapter 213 Old Fox
Chapter 213 Old Fox
Xiaodong changed into clean clothes in a daze, and followed Doctor Li to Wutong Garden.
At this time, lights were on everywhere in Wutong Garden. Xiaohong led them across the corridor bridge, but did not enter the hall. Instead, they turned a corner and went to the water pavilion not far away.
There was a black nanmu table placed at the corner of the water pavilion. Qin Yuan and Lord Gu were sitting in the armchairs beside the water pavilion, leaning against each other, talking about something.
The red lanterns are reflected on the water, a pair of beautiful women are whispering, and the croaking of frogs by the water and the chirping of crickets in the distance are in harmony.
Xiaodong's heart dropped to his stomach.
It seems that Lord Gu is not angry with Senior Sister.
"Master and Junior Brother are here," Qin Yuan stood up with a smile and said to Doctor Li, "Master, when the Marquis learned that his disciple had become his disciple, he said that he also wanted to recognize his face."
The chrysanthemums in the corners of Doctor Li's eyes appeared again when he smiled.
Xiaodong's mouth was stretched to his ears.
Lord Gu stepped forward and bowed to Doctor Li as a junior, saying with a smile, "Junior Gu Jinghui greets the master."
The young eunuch said, "Why don't we go and ask the fourth princess to leave?"
Doctor Li asked again, "He was going to write a memorial, but did he write it wrong?"
Xiaodong's face flushed immediately and he looked at Gu Jinghui shyly.
The chief eunuch spoke quickly: "The fourth princess is here, and she is clamoring to see the emperor. She said she made some summer heat soup and wanted to send it to the emperor to taste."
The Marquis couldn't help but feel a little sad.
The Marquis smiled and said, "Yes, but he must be very careful in the future. What if he tells others where his huge treasury is hidden?"
Dadong broke free from Doctor Li's hand and said, "Master, my sister is from the village. You are so poor, but you can take a look at his huge treasury."
Doctor Li said, "Wait for him to change. It's easy to change a country but hard to change one's nature. His eldest son should be more careful in making friends. Otherwise, he will know when he is being sold out. It's useless to look stupid."
Doctor Li smiled and said, "No, no, Qi Xiao's intentions have been expressed. We must publicize the fact that he has become my disciple, so as to avoid gossip."
The chief eunuch hurried out, and a moment later, the fourth princess slowly came back carrying a food box. Her round face, still childish, had a pair of almond-shaped eyes full of smiles. Before she even approached the dragon table, she said in a tender voice, "Father, I also want to go to Dingbei Marquis's residence with my sister tomorrow to express my condolences. Considering my hard work in making the soup, please agree to my request."
The young eunuch asked in a long voice.
The Marquis laughed and said, "He wants to let Dadong know this. Is that what he said? We should be careful of Dadong's mouth."
The woman frowned, threw the memorial in her hand to the ground angrily, and angrily scolded: "Those bastards, they are just sitting there doing nothing and writing all kinds of nonsense on the memorial, and they are polluting my eyes."
The hall was silent except for the fluttering sounds of moths fluttering against the lampshades.
……
Doctor Li said, "It will be bad if he remembers it."
The Marquis said, "But he forgot that the walls have no ears. If he spoke so carefully and was heard by others, his master's retirement fund would be wasted. What would he do?"
Dadong asked: "Senior sister, you let the cat out of the bag. Did your brother-in-law blame him for anything?"
"what happened?"
After that, he complained to Qi Xiao: "He said that, he still wants to enter the Imperial Hospital. I'm afraid his bones will be swallowed by others."
Doctor Li glanced at him and said something.
Weiyang Palace.
After a while, he suddenly laughed and said, "Lao Wang, that old fox of his."
Lord Gu stood up and said, "Master, Junior Brother, I don't have anything to deal with in the inner courtyard. I am sorry to be able to accompany you here. Please forgive me."
Before the young family sat down, Lord Gu said, "Yuan'er should have held a banquet for her apprenticeship, but now there is no ceiling outside the mansion, so it's a bad banquet. Yuan'er said that the master also wanted to make it known, so we can only make do with it."
Doctor Li said, "I am usually very alert. It's not that I'm old, I've been with you since I was a child, and I have playmates. Once I get close to someone, I hide everything. That bad habit can never be corrected."
The Marquis served the dishes with a smile and often teased Dadong and talked to him.
Lord Gu nodded and left in a hurry.
Doctor Li and Dadong then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yeah," Xiaodong responded happily.
Doctor Li hurriedly helped him up and said, "My Lord, please don't be too polite."
Gu Jinghui reached out his hand and gently stroked the top of Xiaodong's head, saying, "When you have some free time these days, let Sixteen take you riding a horse."
The Emperor paused and said, "The Crown Prince is in good health. The Eastern Palace doesn't have a group of subordinates to manage it for me. Even so, there is still a peace. If I were to take that position, would I be able to handle these old foxes?"
Doctor Li said, "You have a way. You and I depend on each other for survival. If you tell me where you put your family property, who can I turn to if I don't have time to use it?"
The Marquis' nose suddenly soured when he heard this, so he changed the subject and said, "Dadong seems to be very smart, why do you just shut up?"
The emperor has spoken.
The Marquis lowered his eyelids and drank his tea in silence, the doubts in his mind becoming less and less.
The young eunuch looked at the emperor and waited for my instruction.
Dadong puffed up his big face, and there was no trace of grievance in his dark eyes. He said, "You will change, and you said you must go to the Imperial Hospital."
The young eunuch dared to respond.
Doctor Li quickly covered my mouth and glared at me, saying, "That big boy, I just told him to keep his mouth shut, and he did it again."
The Marquis hurriedly said, "It's bad that Dadong can take charge of Renhetang. He treats patients in the Imperial Hospital and he treats patients in Renhetang. There is no difference. It's more comfortable to go to the Imperial Hospital. It's exhausting to be involved in intrigues."
The emperor closed his eyes and said, "I'll ask you to leave. It's so late, what's the point of drinking soup?"
Before leaving the table, Lord Gu wanted to say something to Doctor Li. No one called Gu Shiba inside. After a while, Gu Shiba came back and whispered a few words in Lord Gu's ear.
Dadong shook his head quickly and said, "Senior sister, do you have a big treasury? Master doesn't have one. Master's big treasury is right here..."
Xiaodong also called him "brother-in-law" with a trembling voice. Qin Yuan smiled and said, "My little junior brother admires you the most. His voice is shaking now."
The young eunuch laughed a few times and waved the whisk in his arms. He was about to show his loyalty when the big eunuch tiptoed out and glanced at the young eunuch.
The Marquis sighed, "There are still some things that need to be considered. The Emperor's attitude..."
Doctor Li said, "Xiaodong, just go and do your work. We didn't have the time to get together before. You must not miss this little thing."
The meal was enjoyed by both the host and the guests.
The young eunuch immediately came close to lick the tea for me and said in a strong voice: "Your Majesty has not watched for two hours. Even if you are not made of iron, you will not be able to digest it. How about taking a break and watching again?"
The little eunuch standing beside me was holding a whisk in his hand, seemingly watching my movements, or wandering in his trance.
The emperor sighed deeply, closed his eyes, raised his head and leaned back against the dragon throne. After a while, he said, "Old King, I am really tired, Crown Prince..."
The young eunuch looked confused and asked, "Your Majesty, are you going to clear away all the thorns for the Crown Prince?"
A middle-aged woman wearing a Yishan crown and a round-necked dress with wide sleeves and seven round dragon patterns squinted her eyes over the lamp and slowly flipped through the memorial in her hands.
Dadong was surprised when he heard this and immediately admitted his mistake: "You must change in the past."
