Bright Spring

"Master, please prepare. I will go to the emperor's palace to face the saint at you hour today." The eunuch ordered.

Seeing that the sun was still in the mid-heaven at this time, the virtuous old man could not help but ask in jerky Chinese: "I have learned the etiquette and answers when meeting the saint in the middle school. Wang Gonggong made it clear, what else should I prepare?"

The eunuch frowned and said, "It's not important to answer any etiquette, just don't disobey the Holy Majesty! My Lord, take advantage of the early hour, let's cultivate for a while, and then take a bath and dress up."

The virtuous old man's expression changed slightly after hearing this, but he still nodded in agreement.

The eunuch held Fuchen in his arms and said, "Let's say goodbye. A carriage will be sent to pick up Lord Weng before You hour."

As soon as the eunuch passing the decree left, Pu Jingwu became anxious: "What does the eunuch mean? After all, the Lord is the clan of our country, and now there are no canonizations and ceremonies. Are they telling you to wash up and go to bed?!"

"Pu Jingwu!" Kang Shunchen scolded, "Pay attention to your etiquette."

Pu Jingwu's face was already flushed, and he replied angrily: "The emperor of the Ming Dynasty is arrogant and rude, just like a barbarian!"

Kang Shunchen was furious and was about to speak.The virtuous Lord stopped Kang Shunchen, and sighed, "The people around here probably don't understand North Korean. Kang Shunchen, don't worry too much, and stop arguing."

Kang Shunchen sighed, staring at Pu Jingwu and said, "If the emperor of the Ming Dynasty heard what you said just now, do you know how serious it is? This is diplomatic relations, and every word and deed is related to the relationship between the two countries. Who can bear the responsibility?" Take this responsibility!"

The virtuous old man looked weak and was stunned for a while.

She didn't talk to Pu Jingwu like Kang Shunchen did, but she said something that seemed irrelevant: "Everyone has their own mission and responsibility, and has received favors from others, so we can't just think about ourselves..."

After a short pause, she continued, "I am very grateful to General Park for his loyalty and contributions to me. But I told you a few years ago that my marriage can only be arranged by my father; a few days ago I asked If I pass you, will there be resentment..."

Pu Jingwu hurriedly said: "The general's loyalty to the Weng Lord is definitely not greedy! It's just that a noble person like the Weng Lord has encountered such contempt in Daming, the general is really angry!"

The virtuous old man shook his head and sighed quietly: "How noble? It's not like you don't know my father's situation."

Pu Jingwu said: "That's also the Li family! You can't agree to the emperor of Ming Dynasty, but you can write to the emperor to warn the emperor. You must first be canonized and given a legitimate title, which is in line with etiquette!"

The virtuous old man is silent.

Pu Jingwu raised his head in pain and let out a long sigh.

The virtuous Mrs. Hui said seriously: "General Park, what Mr. Kang said is reasonable, you have to listen to it, and don't miss the important thing. You have always been good to me, and I have persuaded you. I hope you have a sense of proportion and don't act recklessly." Things that harm the general...do you really have no covetous intentions?"

Pu Jingwu was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth and cupped his fists and said, "The general will obey! As long as the Lord is well and satisfied, the general will have nothing else to ask for!"

The tone of the virtuous old man softened a little, and he said kindly: "General Park also tried his best to protect you between life and death. I am really touched by your sincerity. General Park, please accept my worship!"

Pu Jingwu hastily returned his obeisance, nodded vigorously and said, "It is really helpless for the Lord Weng to sacrifice for the country. As long as you remember the sincerity of the last general for so many years, the last general will die without regret!"

The virtuous old man lowered his head, gently wiped away his tears, and said with a sob: "If nothing else, I'll go back to my room first."

Pu Jingwu knelt on the ground with a "plop", raised his head and opened his mouth in pain, and finally choked out a sentence: "The last general is incompetent, let the Lord suffer!"

The virtuous old man returned to the room, and first asked the servants to boil water for bathing.Then she spent a long time combing her sideburns, carefully applying makeup, choosing accessories, and putting on the robes and dresses of Korean nobles (very similar to the high-waisted Hanfu).

Thinking of the big man with thicker arms than ordinary people's legs and rude words, the virtuous old man occasionally felt his anger, and clasped his fists to hold the ceremony: "Eunuch Cao, wait a moment, there are still people in the room of the Holy One."

"Let's wait for a while." The fat eunuch surnamed Cao said with a smile, "The emperor is very busy these two days."

The virtuous old man said: "Thank you for taking care of me, father-in-law."

After she said a word, she stopped talking, still lost in thought.The weather in early autumn is still hot, and her hands are also sweat|drenched. I don't know if it's because of the hot weather or panic. .

Chapter 673 Superficial things

"Oscidium burns under the cauldron, and beans weep in the cauldron. They grow from the same root, so why is it too urgent to cook?"

As soon as the door of the room not far away was opened, someone inside recited a few lines of poetry, with a bit of sadness in his voice.

When the virtuous old man heard this, his heart suddenly felt sour.It wasn't the first time she had heard someone sing this poem by Cao Zhi. She remembered that when her father was raided by the army and captured by armored soldiers, it was this poem that she sang!

A moment later, the burly man who was different from ordinary people came out of the opened door.But the poem was not sung by this big man, the voice was wrong, and the timing was not right; as soon as the voice of the poem fell to the ground, the big man had already walked out without saying a word.

The big man immediately found the virtuous Mrs. Hui, and looked at her as he walked.

The virtuous old man was flustered for a while, not knowing what to call this big man.When he approached, the virtuous old man saluted and said: "Thank you for saving your life."

The big man was very rude and didn't move at all. When he walked up to the virtuous Lord, he showed a smile and said in a deep voice, "Do you remember what I said?"

The virtuous Lord was startled again, and when he was about to respond, the big man strode away without looking back.

The fat eunuch said: "My Lord, please come inside, our family will not go in for now."

The virtuous old man replied, walked towards the open door, and couldn't help but look back at the back of the big man just now.Only then did she realize: a few days ago, she misunderstood, this big man should not be the emperor; but his status is very high, that's true, he is probably the emperor's favorite.

She walked into the room nervously, but saw no one, and saw a partition in front of her.

She first breathed a sigh of relief, then raised her nervousness again, raised her arms to cover her face with big sleeves, and slowly walked around the partition; The young man in the color dragon robe and the black gauze cap was standing by the window with his hands behind his back, looking confident, and only prepared such daily casual meals.Because we are in the city now, this is not bad; if I enter Mobei, it will be difficult to be so particular. "

The virtuous Weng said: "The sage is rich all over the world, but he is frugal in food and considerate of the people, and I admire him."

"Worthy of being the Li clan, you are knowledgeable." Zhu Gaoxu said in a joking tone.He looked very calm, and he couldn't see the anger at all because of the conspiracy of the assassins.

The virtuous old man remembered what the fat eunuch named Cao Fu said, the emperor has been very busy recently.But now she didn't see that Zhu Gaoxu was in a hurry, so she had a faint intuition that the emperor was a man of the city.

Although there are not many food and drinks, the dining room is comfortably furnished, the cups and plates are made of high-quality fine ceramics, and there are maids standing on both sides to serve at any time.After a while, the sound of "Ding Dong" came from behind the bead curtain, and then a soothing and melodious tune was played.

"You're welcome to be polite." Zhu Gaoxu pointed to the dishes on the table.

The virtuous old man raised his wine glass and said: "I thank the Holy One for the banquet, and I will offer a glass to the Holy One first."

Zhu Gaoxu picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "Just take the wind and wash away the dust for the virtuous old man."

When the two of them were at the dinner table, they stopped talking about the prince's business.

However, Zhu Gaoxu mentioned a detail and said: "After Ping An's cavalry rushed into the forest, it was a bloody storm with no eyesight. You were not frightened, and you were able to untie that Pu Jingwu's rope with your bare hands! Really calm Ah. Let's drink to the bravery of the virtuous Lord."

The virtuous old man said: "Even such a trivial matter, does the Holy One know about it?"

Zhu Gaoxu smiled, but did not answer this question.However, he did not let the atmosphere become cold. After drinking a glass of wine in his hand, he said with great interest in the voice of a maid pouring wine: "I heard that there is a country called Russia in the north of the Mongolian tribes. The Russian Tsar Choosing a concubine is very interesting."

The virtuous Lord also had a smile on his face, with a very interested expression: "How does the king choose his concubine?"

She corrected the word "emperor" for Zhu Gaoxu, which is usually called by the kings of other countries. Ming Dynasty does not recognize any "emperor" except China.Japan | The king of this country calls himself the emperor, and once it involves Ming Dynasty, he can only be called the king.

Zhu Gaoxu was still smiling, and immediately changed his words: "The Russian king will ask people to bring many tangled and intertwined thin ropes, give each candidate woman a ball, and ask them to untie the ropes."

The virtuous Lord covered his mouth with a smile and said, "The Russian king really knows how to play tricks on people!"

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not for teasing people. The king will hide behind the door and observe the women from the crack of the door; whoever unties the rope and shows an impatient and angry look will be eliminated! King He will also curse: Get out of here, impatient stupid woman!"

"Hehehe..." Lord Xianhui let out a crisp laugh, she forgot the etiquette, covered her mouth and laughed until her body was crooked.

Previously Zhu Gaoxu had always spoken very politely, without a word of swearing; suddenly he laughed and cursed like this, the virtuous Lord thought it was very funny when he was not paying attention, and couldn't hold it back for a while.
