great mandate

Chapter 20

In the blink of an eye, the fifteenth day of the Lantern Festival is here.

This day Luo Jinyu woke up early, she had some energy, and seeing that the sun was shining outside the window, she remembered what Shen Wuji had said, so she washed herself up, opened the door and went to the courtyard to see the sun and bask in the sun.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, he froze there, looking at the servants who were busy shuttling in the courtyard.

These people hang colorful lights around the yard, but they don't say a word, quietly.

Xifeng turned his back to the door, and was pointing to someone to hang up the lamp, when he suddenly saw someone wink, looked back, hurriedly ran to Luo Jinyu and asked worriedly: "Are you still arguing, sir, to rest?"

"No." Luo Jinyu said hurriedly, "I didn't hear any noise in the house, but I woke up early today."

"This is a sign that your body is going to be in good health." Xifeng said with a smile, "Master, have you washed yourself?"

"En." Luo Jinyu nodded.

Xifeng said again: "Then I'll send someone to prepare breakfast."

Luo Jinyu said, "Thank you."

Xifeng called a little servant girl and asked her to prepare breakfast and decoction. He stayed by his godmother's side tightly, and worked hard for his godfather's wedding plan: "Young master, today's Lantern Festival, according to the rules, the palace There is a banquet in the house, and the godfather may be busy all day. Don't think he is stubborn on weekdays, but when he does things, he is dedicated, no matter how big or small, he will definitely do it himself. "

Luo Jinyu was used to Xifeng singing eulogies for his godfather, so he agreed after hearing the words: "Eunuch Shen is indeed a serious person."

"That's right, he is serious. I was young at that time, but I also remember that in order to talk to the young master, the godfather read the Four Books and Five Classics at night, but he couldn't read it, but he wanted to read it." I understand, that’s called scratching one’s ears and cheeks.” Xi Feng covered his mouth and smiled, “Later, he simply hired a gentleman who was busy with official duties during the day and stabbed his ass at night, saying that he needed to write a poem that the young master would approve. .”

Luo Jinyu: "..."

He recalled the Fu written by Shen Wuji, and wanted to say that there is a priority in hearing the truth, and there is a specialization in art, and it is difficult for people to cover everything. There are some things, and Eunuch Shen does not need to be too forceful...

But these words might hurt people, so Luo Jinyu swallowed them back.

Xifeng observed the words and expressions, and continued: "Let's talk about this courtyard again." He pointed to the lamp hanging on the beam with a smile, "Godfather said, the young master is not in full health, and at the lantern festival in the capital, I was afraid that there would be too many people making noise and bumping into the young master. I was also afraid that the young master would be unhappy, so I specially asked people to put up lanterns and festoons in the mansion, and hold a small lantern festival for you." Luo Jinyu also guessed so, but when Xifeng said it, he felt even more uncomfortable, and said in a low voice: " Thank you, Eunuch, for your kindness, I am ashamed of it."

"You deserve it!" Xi Feng hurriedly said, "Don't think so, it's my fault."

Luo Jinyu asked puzzled, "Why?"

"I... I'm still a child," Xifeng said with a playful smile, "I have selfish intentions, and I'm still secretly happy. Don't you take advantage of your son, and the rest of the family and I will have a lively Lantern Festival and New Year's Eve. Mr. Luo, you don't know, in the past, godfathers didn't come back home so often, and they didn't like to celebrate the New Year, so we naturally didn't dare to have fun without authorization, and the New Year is so miserable, it's meaningless."

Xifeng said this because he was afraid that his godmother would be cautious, but unexpectedly after he finished speaking, he heard his godmother say with even more shame: "Thinking about it, I'm the one who made things difficult for Eunuch Shen."

Xifeng didn't expect him to think this way, and hurriedly said: "What does that mean! Godfather is happy! There are many things that father is not happy with, but no one can make things difficult for him. Godfather is 'willing' to be embarrassed by Mr. Luo ' Well, Mr. Luo's 'embarrassment', godfather doesn't say it, maybe he is very happy in his heart. No, I didn't say it, he asked me to decorate the garden."

Xifeng couldn't speak more blatantly. Although Luo Jinyu was used to it, she was still very uncomfortable. She didn't know how to answer such words, so she had to remain silent.

Xifeng was also afraid that his godmother would be ashamed, so he kept his sense of proportion and changed his words to talk about other things: "Oh, it's just that godfather said that I am not too young to stay in the mansion all the time, and will take me to the supervisor of ceremonies later. In doing things, I will never leave my father and son in battle in the future. But I really can't bear to part with my son."

This child has always been sweet-talking, and he is at the best age to act like a good boy. Luo Jinyu couldn't help but feel close to him when he acted coquettishly. He was trying to comfort him when he suddenly remembered that in fact, Xifeng didn't have to be reluctant about it, even if he didn't Regarding this matter, she will soon leave Shen's residence.

But this matter cannot be told to Xifeng.

Xifeng wanted to be coquettish on purpose, and was only waiting for his godmother to coax him.

After all, he is still a child, but his godfather cannot be expected to coax him.On weekdays, he is the only one who coaxes godfather, how can godfather be as gentle and kind as godmother?

The godmother is fine. In the past, she looked cold and indifferent to others thousands of miles away. Now that she is familiar with her, she knows that the godmother's heart is like a bodhisattva, and she looks very good.

Unexpectedly, today Xifeng waited and waited, but he didn't wait for his bodhisattva godmother to coax him.

I saw his godmother looking melancholy, as if worried.

This will not work!

Xi Feng hurriedly asked with concern: "Young master, are you feeling unwell?"

"No." Luo Jinyu came back to his senses and shook his head, "It's nothing, Mr. Xifeng doesn't need to worry."

Xifeng asked again: "Is that what I just said nonsense to make you worry about me? You must not be like this, I'm just acting like a good boy. In fact, I want to be a godfather's assistant in the future. Others want to enter the ceremonial supervisor, want to □□Father taught by hand, but I can't ask for such a blessing."

Seeing the child's innocent appearance, Luo Jinyu couldn't help laughing, and said teasingly: "Just now I said I couldn't bear to part with me."

Xifeng also smiled, rolled his eyeballs, stuck out his tongue, and said mischievously: "My godfather taught me, he taught me to speak sweet words to coax nobles."

Sure enough, Luo Jinyu was coaxed into laughing all the time.

Seeing that the godmother was coaxed happily by him, Xifeng was overjoyed and proud, and became even more energetic, and said persistently, "But I know, my lord, you must be thinking in your heart, 'What, Eunuch Shen dares to teach you sweet words to coax others? That's Is that Eunuch Shen I know, isn’t Eunuch Shen only irritating?’”

Xifeng put on a show, pretending to be Luo Jinyu's demeanor and talking in a manner, and his words were lively, which made Luo Jinyu smile until the corners of his mouth were a little sour.

"However, young master, you only know one thing, you don't know the other," Xifeng said, staring at the big watery eyes, "my godfather, he is a gentleman with thousands of faces when he is outside. I'm going to mutter in my heart, 'Then why is Eunuch Shen just like that in front of me? Could it be that he is dissatisfied with me?' Then Mr. Luo is wrong again," Xifeng said with a wave of hands and feet, "Godfather, he is just trying to hide his sincerity. I can't help thinking, godfather—"

Luo Jinyu was smiling, when he suddenly saw Shen Wuji who was slowly pacing over with a serious face not far behind Xifeng, he couldn't help being startled, quickly looked at Xifeng, and stopped in a low voice: "Xifeng——"

Xifeng thought that his godmother was being shy, but he had prepared so much, and he hadn't said the last important thing. How could he let his godmother go, so he pretended not to hear, and continued: "Godfather, he is an outsider. In front of you, you are right and left, he is not willing to use that hypocritical mask in front of you, this is completely treating you as his own."

Shen Wuji stopped a step behind Xifeng, with his hands tucked into his cloak, narrowing his long and narrow phoenix eyes, staring coldly at the back of his head.

Luo Jinyu: "Xi—"

Xifeng quickly interrupted his godmother's words, and continued: "Then you think again, 'Could it be that Eunuch Shen's true face is yin and yang, and if he has something to say, he must be angry?'" Luo Jinyu: "Xi—"

Xifeng hurriedly said: "You are wrong again!"

Luo Jinyu: "..."

Shen Wuji's dark eyes slowly moved from the back of Xifeng's head to Luo Jinyu's face.

Luo Jinyu: "..."

Xi Feng said: "Oh, Mr. Luo, you are a complete human being, so naturally you don't understand us eunuchs..."

Luo Jinyu: "Shen—"

Xifeng said: "Both my godfather and I have been exiled since we were young. They said that we served the nobles. It sounds like we have reached the sky in one step, but in fact, who thinks highly of us? When we talk about it, we say that we are-"

He sighed, "Even in the palace and among eunuchs, it's the same. It's fine for others to look down on us, but you don't know that eunuchs also look down on each other. The big bully the small, the strong bully the weak. Children are everywhere, I still have a good fortune, I met my godfather when I was a child, and I was taken by him to protect me, but I heard from other supervisors that he was not as lucky as me when he was a child. He has no father and no mother, I don't have any support, I'm young, I'm bullied and abused by those old people everywhere, it's not a big deal if I don't have enough food and clothing. I don't dare to speak out about those nasty things, it's no shame. People's methods are beyond those people's thinking. Let's talk about the most bitter time in the cold winter months, those people make things difficult for him, let him brave the rain and snow to brush the bucket without saying anything, and even make fun of him, so as to invite nobles and pets, and show them all. some bad idea, let him-"

"What happened to our family?" Shen Wuji finally spoke, with a gloomy voice.

West Wind: "..."

Luo Jinyu: "..."

Shen Wuji sneered and said, "Tell me, what happened to our family?"

Xifeng took a deep breath, took another deep breath, took another deep breath, then turned around and threw himself on the ground, knelt down and said loudly: "Then godfather showed his supernatural power, like God's help, seeing gods and killing gods, encountering demons and slaying demons, how can such young people get so close?" Daddy God of Steel! Godfather—”

"Get out!" Shen Wuji scolded.

Xifeng got up and ran like a dog chasing him.

Shen Wuji turned his head and stared fiercely at his back, then turned back to stare at Luo Jinyu.

Luo Jinyu: "..."

"I'm very happy to hear our family's jokes!" Shen Wuji said angrily.
