great mandate
Chapter 10
In the end, Cao Guozhong was dying, rolled his eyes and looked at the expressionless Shen Wuji, gritted his teeth and asked softly: "I don't know where the dragon's veins are, can you handle the job?"
"Eunuch Cao is like this, but he still worries so much." Shen Wuji said indifferently, "It seems that he still eats too much and stretches too little."
The guards continued to pour water into Cao Guozhong's stomach and intestines. Cao Guozhong closed his eyes tightly and continued to yell in pain.
"Eunuch Cao, don't rush to tell where the dragon's veins are. Once you tell, Wuji will have no reason to visit you like this." Shen Wuji smiled, turned around and went out along the way without hesitation, and took Cao Guozhong's Cursing and wailing are all left behind.
Although there is no need for Shen Wuji to be on duty today, he came out of the prison and went to the palace, kowtowed to the emperor and empress to pay New Year's greetings, asked for a reward, waited on the two for breakfast, and then left the palace to go to the various places one by one. New Year's greetings from the minister's house.
Although some important officials avoided this eunuch in their hearts, they had to give Shen Wuji face and greeted him warmly, because Shen Wuji did not represent himself, but the emperor.
Everyone knows that today's emperor's favor relies heavily on Shen Wuji, just like the former emperor's favor relied heavily on Cao Guozhong.Shen Wuji would be the next Cao Guozhong even if he could see it. At present, they can only deal with it for the time being.
Fortunately, all the important ministers live together, it is convenient for Shen Wuji to go to another house when he leaves this house.
At lunch, Luo Jinyu sat at the table, looked at the table full of delicacies in front of him, hesitated, and asked Xifeng who was serving beside him: "Isn't Eunuch Shen going back to the house for dinner?"
"It's the first day of the lunar new year. Godfather is going to pay New Year's greetings everywhere. Maybe whoever you meet will be left with a meal." Xifeng said, "He specifically told you not to wait, and eat by yourself."
Luo Jinyu asked: "Is it like this every year?"
"Cao Guozhong was still there in the past, and Cao Guozhong went there." Xifeng said, "But godfather sometimes goes with him."
Luo Jinyu nodded, and stopped asking. He picked up his chopsticks and said, "Since your father-in-law is not in the mansion, you might as well eat together."
He was not used to being waited on by others, especially when Xifeng stood aside and served him dishes courteously, it was okay if there were too many people, but he felt a little uncomfortable when he was alone.
"This won't work, godfather will scold you." Xifeng shook his head.
Luo Jinyu is mostly taken care of by Xifeng these days, and Xifeng takes care of him with all his heart, enthusiasm, young age, and good-looking appearance, which naturally makes Luo Jinyu give birth to some love and care for the child, so it is not his fault. Talking about the matter in Shen Wuji's house, but relying on the absence of others at this time, he asked: "Didn't Eunuch Shen and you have the same love as father and son?"
"Yes!" Xi Feng mentioned this, his eyes became crescent moons, and his happiness did not seem to be fake.
Luo Jinyu couldn't understand the daily relationship between the "father and son": "Then why, you are like a servant. Does he always scold you?"
"Because I am a slave." Xifeng said naturally.
Luo Jinyu didn't understand.
Seeing his blank eyes, Xifeng smiled: "Master Luo is different from us, so it's only natural that he doesn't understand. Godfather treats me like this, and it's for my own good."
Luo Jinyu became more and more confused.
Xifeng urged: "Young master Luo, let's not talk about this, you can eat first, the food is cold. These are all made by the cook for you specially by the godfather, and they are all what you like to eat."
Luo Jinyu had already noticed it, and said, "Eunuch has a heart."
"Godfather is very powerful. He can remember everyone's likes and dislikes. I can't remember so much." Xifeng said while preparing vegetables for Luo Jinyu, "He always scolds me for being stupid, saying that this is for slaves to live and work. ability."
Luo Jinyu: "..."
Xifeng realized that his words were not good, so he hurriedly said: "But godfather treats Mr. Luo differently than he treats others! Godfather pays attention to other people's preferences for profit. He is good to Mr. Luo, but he just smiles for Mr. Bo. !"
Luo Jinyu: "..."
He thought to himself, he shouldn't be surprised by this, the child raised by Shen Wuji is naturally the same as Shen Wuji, full of love for children in his heart... What is Shen Wuji teaching the child every day? !
During this period of time, Luo Jinyu ate very little and lightly because of her illness. Now because of the first day of the new year, she ate more dishes, and her body recovered. Seeing that the sun was good, she asked Xifeng if she could go to the street. Take a walk, eat casually, and watch the excitement.
Xi Feng hurriedly said: "Of course it's possible. Godfather said, Mr. Luo is free to come and go, and will never interfere. It's just that Mr. Luo is not in good health yet, so wear more clothes and go out."
Luo Jinyu knew that he cared about her, so she nodded and asked him to wear fox fur for her, but she felt familiar: "This..."
"This is a gift from the saint to godfather, and it is a good gift from the feudal kingdom. Look at this fur, it is all white fox fur, without a trace of other colors." Xifeng said.
Luo Jinyu nodded: "I know. Eunuch once wanted to give it to me."
Naturally, she was rejected by Luo Jinyu at the time.
Xifeng was afraid that Luo Jinyu would not wear it, so he said: "Godfather doesn't like to wear furs, he doesn't like to wear all white, saying that he doesn't look good in them. Therefore, the furs are also kept in the closet, why don't you wear them out, don't wear them at all, It will be even worse, so Mr. Luo will help you to wear it. Besides, Mr. Luo is most suitable to wear white clothes. What did your godfather say... He said that Mr. Luo is wearing white clothes, just like the stranger mentioned in the poem. A young man is full of flair."
Luo Jinyu: "..."
He said uncomfortably, "I didn't say anything, you don't need to say that."
He has also been praised by many people, from literary talent to appearance, there are endless praises, but he was very calm at that time.But for some reason, when he heard Xifeng and Shen Wuji praise him, he always felt uncomfortable.
Xifeng immediately changed his words: "Don't talk about these things, talk about godfather, godfather likes to wear red."
Luo Jinyu nodded: "I see."
Xifeng said with ulterior motives: "Does it look like the young man in fresh clothes and angry horse?"
Luo Jinyu: "..."
Not like.
Like the chief eunuch in the hands of the chief inspector of ceremonies, who is very popular, has power in the government and the public, is uncertain, and murders Zhongliang at any time.
With great difficulty, Luo Jinyu shook off Xifeng and left the mansion alone.
Xifeng wanted to follow, but Luo Jinyu was afraid that he would be too enthusiastic, especially afraid that he would "sell" his godfather to her too enthusiastically, so she resolutely refused to let him follow.
Although Xifeng was sorry, he was not reckless, and reluctantly sent him out.
Luo Jinyu's ears were finally cleared, he sighed silently, stood on the street looking around, and walked towards the more lively side.
There is no snow today, the sun is good, and there are many people on the street, bustling with business.
Luo Jinyu hadn't seen such excitement in several years, and it seemed like a lifetime away.
He was walking slowly along the bustling street, and suddenly his eyes paused, and he fell on a wonton stand over there with some doubts. Shen Wuji.
Shen Wuji was dressed more plainly today, white background with red stripes, no cloak, no hat, only a crown, he looked no different from ordinary wealthy young masters.
Luo Jinyu looked at it for a while, feeling a little bit, Shen Wuji was eating with his head down, suddenly raised his head, and met Luo Jinyu's eyes.
Luo Jinyu walked to the wonton stall, and nodded to Shen Wuji.
Shen Wuji squeezed the spoon in his hand a little uncomfortably, and nodded to him, without speaking.
"Xifeng said that the father-in-law went to Baiguan's mansion to pay New Year's greetings." Luo Jinyu asked, "Is there no one left for the father-in-law's meal?"
Shen Wuji immediately glared at him like a cat whose tail has been stepped on: "Who said that? They are all rushing to stay at our house for dinner!"
Luo Jinyu looked at him, lowered her eyes, and looked at the wonton bowl in front of him.
"Our family doesn't want to eat at their place." Shen Wuji snorted, "Believe it or not."
"I believe it." Luo Jinyu said, "Even if all the officials really don't like your father-in-law, they will definitely say what they say on the spot."
"you--"
"But the father-in-law is kind-hearted, and he didn't want them to have an unhappy meal on the first day of the new year, so he refused and came here to eat a bowl of wonton by himself." Luo Jinyu continued.
Shen Wuji was startled, then frowned uncomfortably, and said, "It's a joke."
"Then why didn't you go back to your house for dinner? I had supper with you last night." Luo Jinyu said.
Shen Wuji ignored him, bowed his head and continued eating wontons.
Luo Jinyu watched him eat, and said: "I would like to have dinner with my father-in-law. Eating alone, it's too deserted, not like Chinese New Year."
"..." Shen Wuji raised his eyes to look at him silently, "Whatever you want to say, you can just say it directly, there is no need to beat around the bush, our family sounds creepy."
Luo Jinyu stopped talking, and sat opposite Shen Wuji, watching Shen Wuji silently.
"..."
Shen Wuji asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"Wait for Eunuch to finish eating the wontons." Luo Jinyu said.
Shen Wuji asked: "Then?"
Luo Jinyu said: "Then," he paused, and said slowly, "Please tell me, father-in-law, where my mother is buried. I want to go and see her."
Shen Wuji was stunned, silent for a moment, and asked: "Didn't you say that you don't want to see me?"
Xifeng naturally talked endlessly to Shen Wuji, and reported Luo Jinyu's words and deeds every day.Luo Jinyu once told Xifeng that he had no face to see his mother.
Luo Jinyu said: "I've changed my mind."
"Your idea has changed so quickly." Shen Wuji muttered, lowering his head to scoop wontons, but he was not in a hurry to eat, and said, "Go to the Shilipo cemetery outside the west city, it's best to go back to the mansion and take a horse. Now It's getting late, you have to hurry up, or the city gate will be closed and you won't be able to get in."
Luo Jinyu said: "I'm not good at horsemanship."
Shen Wuji: "..."
He looked up at Luo Jinyu, hesitant to speak.
"One hundred and one useless is a literati, but father-in-law wants to say this?" Luo Jinyu asked.
"Our family didn't say anything!" Shen Wuji said hastily.
Luo Jinyu said calmly: "Even if Eunuch thinks so, there is nothing wrong with it, it is the truth."
Shen Wuji frowned.
Three years ago, Luo Jinyu was proud of her talents and had such a high spirit, but now she seems to have been worn out.
But Shen Wuji knew in his heart that it was no wonder Luo Jinyu.Luo Jinyu was unjustly imprisoned for three years, and that prison was a tortured place.
It's just... just very distressed.
The more peaceful and docile Luo Jinyu's eyebrows are now, the more Shen Wuji misses that Luo Jinyu who was daring, eloquent, and arrogant three years ago.
"Eunuch Cao is like this, but he still worries so much." Shen Wuji said indifferently, "It seems that he still eats too much and stretches too little."
The guards continued to pour water into Cao Guozhong's stomach and intestines. Cao Guozhong closed his eyes tightly and continued to yell in pain.
"Eunuch Cao, don't rush to tell where the dragon's veins are. Once you tell, Wuji will have no reason to visit you like this." Shen Wuji smiled, turned around and went out along the way without hesitation, and took Cao Guozhong's Cursing and wailing are all left behind.
Although there is no need for Shen Wuji to be on duty today, he came out of the prison and went to the palace, kowtowed to the emperor and empress to pay New Year's greetings, asked for a reward, waited on the two for breakfast, and then left the palace to go to the various places one by one.
