Chapter 328: Something is wrong (second update)
“Have you brought the wooden sign I gave you?” Wu Chen asked.
"Huh? No, I really forgot about this." Chen Nanzhu said regretfully.
“Didn’t I ask you to carry it with you personally?”
“I used to carry it with me when I lived in Chen Zhong’s mansion. Then I entered the palace. I don’t think anyone would steal it. , and put it in a box with some jewelry.”
Wu Chen rubbed his swollen eyes and asked again: "I don't think the officials have any intention of letting you leave the palace. I will find a good match for you when I have some free time."
Chen Nanzhu lost his smile instantly. , lowered his head and thought for a while before saying: "You go ahead and do your work first. I'm not in a hurry. The fifth princess doesn't have anyone to talk to on weekdays. I I can spend more time with her in the palace."
"Have you met the queen?"
"Well, the queen is very fond of the fifth princess. The fifth princess's bedroom is far away from the queen's Changning Palace. Very close, you can see the Queen almost every day.”
“Have you met the Queen Mother?”
Chen Nanzhu nodded and said: "I met her once. Through the bead curtain, I always felt that the Queen Mother did not like the fifth princess, and the fifth princess rarely went to see the Queen Mother."
"Has the Queen Mother spoken to you?"
Chen Nanzhu shook his head and said: "I just followed The fifth princess went over and kowtowed. The queen mother had nothing to say to the fifth princess, so how could she say anything to me? "
"I saw you when you first entered the palace, right?"
" Yes, I haven’t seen him since.”
Wu Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If you don't want to eat these pastries, leave them for Brother Big Touou and I'll take you back to the palace."
"Huh?" Chen Nanzhu's eyes widened: "Are you going to attack me?"
“I’m not going to blast you, I really need to catch up on my sleep...”
“What are you busy with? Can you You want me to follow you out of the palace? You know how courageous I am..."
"Just stay in the palace honestly. You can't follow the case I'm investigating now. You're running around. Even if you can't ride a horse, it won't work. Kyoto is not as good as outside. Which unmarried girl do you see riding a horse outside?"
Chen Nanzhu snorted, and then asked in a low voice: "I heard that Chen Zhong was killed?"
"You just said that there was no news in the palace. Who did you hear this news from?"
>
"The eunuchs in the palace, I heard what they said privately."
"What else have you heard?" Wu Chen asked.
Chen Nanzhu thought for a while and said: "I heard that many officials want to recruit you as their son-in-law. Even the official family also wants to recruit you as their consort and marry the fifth princess to you. The fifth princess just got hairpin this year..."< br>
"The eunuchs in the palace also spread these invisible things? Where did they hear it?" Wu Chen asked in confusion.
Chen Nanzhu said with a smile: "You are a famous person now, not to mention in the palace, but also in the homes of ordinary people. Do you think anyone talks about you after dinner?"
The boss asked hurriedly: "Is anyone talking about me?"
Chen Nan Zhu pursed his lips and said: "I often mention Brother Big Tou to the fifth princess, saying that Brother Big Tou is the best person I have ever met."
Big Tou smiled sheepishly, and suddenly asked seriously : "Have the officials ever considered recruiting me as their consort?"
Wu Chen and Chen Nanzhu were both frozen.
Da Tou's face suddenly turned red, and he waved his hands and said, "I'm just asking casually, Ping Gu's Guanghan cake is delicious, you can try it."
Chen Nanzhu took it. The big head handed over the pastry and made a sound: "In addition to seeing you when I leave the palace, I also want to ask whether I will be implicated by Chen Zhong as the righteous daughter of Chen Zhong?"
"Acknowledging you as an adopted daughter is just what Chen Zhong said, and there is no witness. Besides, it doesn't matter even if the officials know about it. Chen Zhong just wants to use you to contain me. How could the officials Can’t you tell?”
Chen Nanzhu tilted his head and asked, “How come I don’t think this method is feasible?”
Wu Chen took a sip of tea and said:
"The people in my house are all from the government. The officials are afraid that the people around me will be taken advantage of. Even the officials know what I care about. Chen How can Zhong not see it? The eldest brother and the second brother are naturally better. You don’t have to worry about me in the palace. You people have been with me, so you are naturally different from others.”
The big head is important. The head said:
“Before, Deputy Ambassador Yu almost had his head beheaded by the officials. My brother rescued Deputy Ambassador Yu out of gratitude for following him from Yang’an County and is now with him at home. He only stayed in jail for one night because of his seriously ill daughter. "
Wu Chen looked at Da Tou in confusion and asked, "How do you know so detailedly?"
"The boss heard it when he went out, and then told the second child, who then told the third and fourth children, and the third and fourth children told me." Big Tou said seriously.
Chen Nanzhu stared at Wu Chen and asked: "What would you do if the official arranged the marriage for me?"
Wu Chen frowned and said: "My opinion is on the one hand, but mainly it depends on you. Myself, but the officials will not marry you."
Chen Nanzhu looked up at Wu Chen and asked, "How do you know?"
"At least not in the next few years, but you have to wait. Sorry.”
"I didn't understand." Chen Nanzhu said with a pout.
Wu Chen stood up and said:
"I haven't stood firm yet, and I'm still investigating the case. There must be many people in Kyoto who know that Chen Zhong once recognized you as his adopted daughter. Proposing marriage to you at this time is not good for the man on the one hand. They may misunderstand you and may look at your face when you get to your husband's house. On the other hand, there are many officials who want to get closer to me right now. If someone finds you after you get married, Your mother-in-law’s family, you It's all trouble if you don't care about it, so now is not the time to propose marriage to you. When Chen Zhong's case is really over, my current case is also clarified. I stayed away from Kyoto for a while and was gradually forgotten by others. Maybe The official will arrange a marriage for you, but that will take a long time. I'll wait until I finish investigating the case at hand before thinking about your marriage and Brother Big Tou's marriage."
Chen Nanzhu didn't say anything.
Big Head said: "I'm not in a hurry."
Wu Chen said: "In the final analysis, I am the one who caused you trouble."
Chen Nanzhu still said nothing.
Wu Chen said again: "Let's go, I will take you back to the palace."
Chen Nanzhu frowned and asked: "How? Do you have a carriage at home?"
" There should be, right?" Wu Chen opened the door and shouted, "Lao San!" ’
...
After Chen Nanzhu was sent back to the palace, Wu Chen returned home. Da Tou was waiting in his room. When he saw Wu Chen pushing the door in, he hurriedly said: "I won't delay your sleep, I just want to sleep with you." "I think something is wrong with Aunt Ping. Did you have a good chat with her on the way to see her off? I'm afraid she will be wronged in the palace."
"I was riding a horse on the way, and she was in the carriage. No chance to talk." Wu Chen said and lay down on the bed.
Da Tou sat on the edge of the bed and said: "Gu Ping was very straightforward in the past, but when I see her this time, I always feel that gold is more expensive."
Wu Chen smiled and said : "Even you can find it, do you think Aunt Ping knows it herself?"
Datou pursed his lips, sighed and said: "Actually, she just wants to marry you, but you don't want to marry me, so I have nothing to do, but she doesn't want to marry me. She stayed in the palace for a few days and was very happy. It's normal."
Wu Chen closed his eyes and said, "I can save her once, but I may not be able to save her the second time."
......
Weekend. joy!
The super typhoon is coming, and it’s a bit fierce. I said it rained heavily for three days in a row. I don’t know when it started. It’s so boring that it’s uncomfortable. When the wind blows, the dark clouds look like Bajie. When it comes, a heavy downpour will fall in an instant. People outside must look at the sky. If something feels wrong, they quickly find a place to hide. We don’t know which dark cloud is raining and which one. A dark cloud is pouring rain. Pay attention to safety!
