Chapter 52 Fox Tail
Gong Rang entered the house with his two sons.
Brothers Gong Jing'an and Gong Yu'an have been studying at Qingya Academy in Xijing since the beginning of the year. They originally planned to return to Beijing in autumn, but unexpectedly something happened to their second uncle, so they got the news. Came back in a hurry.
The father and son met outside the city, and they couldn't help but sigh when they saw each other.
It was just dawn when they came back, and no one had gotten up yet.
"Girl, the uncle from the East Courtyard is back." Zhang Ma had made jade soup all morning and brought it in for Wen Mingqian to eat while it was hot.
"Anyway, I have to go over to pay my respects to the old lady soon, so I'll see you by the way." Wen Mingqian neatly tied up his hair in a bun.
"I will accompany you there in a moment." Zhang Ma said, "I always feel that that bitch in the west courtyard is going to get maggots again."
"Well, a dog in a hurry might as well jump over the wall. ! She's been very anxious these days, and I think she's probably trying to do something bad. " Wen Mingqian knows Song very well and knows that she won't let him go, not to mention the current situation.
"What are we afraid of? We have already thought of countermeasures. No matter what insidious tricks she uses, it is enough for us to just come up with a mountain to suppress her." Zhang Ma did not take Song's methods seriously.
After dinner, Wen Mingqian came to the east courtyard, and Mrs. Song followed closely, for fear of being left behind.
Mrs. Gong was also dressed neatly and sitting at the table to have breakfast today. The return of her eldest son made her feel a lot more at ease.
Wen Mingqian waited outside for the old lady to finish her meal before going in to say hello. The old lady didn't like too many people in front of her when eating.
Usually only Webster and a personal maid are waiting, and everyone else is waiting outside.
Today Gong Rang, the two young masters from Dafang, and the palace chief An all ate at the same table as the old lady, so the room seemed more crowded.
Mrs. Song was also waiting outside. She looked at Wen Mingqian and smiled and said, "Madam, I got up early today. I wanted to rush over and come here with you, but you came here first."< br>
"It's just a few steps. What does it matter if you come a little early or a little late?" Wen Mingqian gave her a faint look and saw clearly the calculation hidden in her eyes.
"It's not that we came here together, but I thought that Madam might want to ask about the master. After all, I have been delivering food to the master these days." Mrs. Song was quite a cat at this time. The mood of playing with mice.
She felt that Wen Mingqian must not know that a large net had been set over their mother and son's heads, and when it fell, they would not be able to break free no matter what.
"I wonder what Madam is busy with these days?" Mrs. Song continued to ask when Wen Mingqian didn't answer.
"I see that Aunt Song, you are really haggard. You should learn to worry less." Wen Mingqian said with a smile, "I am worried and sad, and you are still pregnant with a child!"
"Thank you, Madam. Concerned." Mrs. Song pretended not to hear the sarcasm in Wen Mingqian's words, "Madam has taken good care of herself over the years, I have to learn from her."
While we were talking, the girl had already finished her meal. They hurried in to clean up.
Wen Mingqian stood up, straightened his clothes a little, then walked in holding Zhang Ma's hand.
Ms. Song followed, looking at Wen Mingqian's back, smiling proudly.
Gong Rang had already learned about Wen Mingqian's return from his wife Wei Shi. Unlike the old lady and Gong Xu, he did not think Wen Mingqian should come back, but said "it's okay to come back." It took a while for everyone to greet each other. When they all sat down, the old lady said: "The eldest master is back, and there is someone in charge of the family. I have been so worried that I can't sleep these days, and I think you are all worried too.
< br>
But having said that, the matter has reached this point. We should not only plan for the bad, but also try our best to make good progress.
Let the uncle go out to investigate and take a look. Can you find a way to do it? If you want to use money, you only need to pay for it. If it is not enough, I will make up for it. "
"Old lady, sir, can I ask you a question?" Shi couldn't help but said, "I wonder how confident you are that you can keep our master out?"
"What are you talking about?" The old lady's eyes immediately became sharp, "They are brothers, how can they not try their best?"
"Don't get me wrong, old lady, I didn't mean that. ." Mrs. Song knelt down quickly, "We all know that Zhu Hui is smelly and tough, how can we talk about it?"
"This matter is indeed difficult to handle, but even if it happens again, Even if it’s difficult, I’ll give it a try.” Gong Rang said, “Aunt Song, I know you’re worried about your second brother’s safety, so get up quickly!”
“The elder also knows that this is difficult. Just do it." Ms. Song didn't get up. "What if I say there is a way to bring our master back safely?"
"What? You have a way?" Everyone was doubtful.
Of course they knew that Song's brother was a close confidant of King Zhao, but even King Zhao had to be wary of Zhu Hui, who was desperate for his life.
The relationship between the Gong family and King Zhao is not enough for King Zhao to risk everything to help, even if it means sending expensive gifts, and King Zhao is not short of money.
"It's true. I didn't lie. Now there is really a way to save our master." Mrs. Song said so categorically that she almost swore to the sky.
"Tell me what the solution is?" Mrs. Gong asked her, "Is it feasible to tell everyone and let everyone hear it?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Song looked around and finally turned her eyes It fell on Wen Mingqian: "The key to this matter lies with Madam. As long as Madam agrees, our master will be saved."
Everyone also followed her gaze and looked at Wen Mingqian. Wen Mingqian sat there without any panic, but replied to Mrs. Song with a smile: "Aunt Song, we are all a family, and we are here to save the master. You don't have to be like this. , get up and talk!"
"No," Mrs. Song shook her head vigorously, "Madam, I have been suffering from this matter for many days, and I really feel sorry for you. >But if I don’t say it, I’m just watching the master fall into danger. I’m really in a dilemma...
Madam, I’m sorry for you...”
What Song said later turned out to be He started to cry with sobs, as if he was extremely guilty, but there was nothing he could do about it.
She really whetted everyone's appetite. Mrs. Gong was already anxious, so she immediately urged: "What is going on? Please explain it clearly to me first. What kind of words does it sound like to cover your head and face like this?" ?”
“Calm down, old lady,” Mrs. Song wiped her tears, “If King Zhao and Princess are willing to try their best to help, and go to the palace to plead with the Queen and Your Majesty for our master, then Zhu Hui will not resist. You don’t obey the order?”
“What? Do you mean to ask King Zhao to intercede for our family, or even ask for an imperial edict?” Gong Rang felt incredible after hearing this. He wondered if it was because of this. He was so anxious about things that he fell into delirium.
