Chapter 46: The sycamore tree has a thousand-year knot
Anguo Gongfu.
Anguo Gong Yushou was furious.
The servants and maids at home were so frightened that they hid outside for fear of being burned by the father-in-law's anger.
"This bastard! He's gone somewhere all day long! He hasn't eaten anything! It's already dark, and he's still not back! Wait until he comes back to see me break his legs!"
Princess Guangling on the side was calm and composed, holding a Western tribute clairvoyance in her hand, through which she looked at her husband's angry face.
"Hey, your eyes are as big as a cow's eyes!"
"Oh, your nostrils are like two big caves!"
"Haha, you still have vegetable leaves on your teeth!"
"Princess..." An Guogong was helpless and helpless, "Can't you help me take care of that little beast?"
"Control?" Princess Guangling put down her clairvoyance and raised her voice and asked, "How to care? I already knew that he just came to this world by borrowing my belly!
So you are left-minded, not like you or me.
I still want to live for a few more years! Who can compete with a stubborn cow?"
"But we are over fifty, and we only have one seedling like this," Anguo Gong burst into tears, "He really doesn't know the painstaking efforts of his parents..."
Princess Guangling reached out to pull him over, patted his back and comforted him: "Who was not naughty or willful when they were young? You don't have to worry too much. You can talk about him when he comes back."
Yushou wiped away his tears and said: "This little beast, I have to teach him a lesson no matter what.
Don’t think that because his wings are stiff, he will not obey discipline. Today I must let him experience the severity of being a father!”
It has been several months since the Yongninghou Mansion was sealed.
The imperial plaque on the door had long been removed, and a long seal was stuck on the door.
The yard was in a state of depression and decay, and the tragic scene during the house raid became even more desolate and desolate after being blown by the snow and wind.
Yu Guming stood in the atrium, feeling indescribable sadness in his heart.
Standing next to him were two followers, one tall and one short. The tall one was very thin and the short one was very fat.
Both of them are in their forties and have unique looks.
The tall and lanky follower said: "Your Majesty, what are we doing here? This place has long been deserted, and it is... illegal to enter a sealed house privately."
"You have a long face. You and I will just follow whatever the master does. If you are discovered, you will stay and hold the pot!" The short, fat follower rolled his eyes and said, "It's true that the longer the face, the less courageous you will be!"
The tall and thin follower did indeed have a long face, and it was full of pockmarks.
His surname is Jin and his first name is Changsheng. People call him Jin Changlian.
"Rotten fish head, you know how to spit at me. The prince is young and impulsive. You and I should be trying to dissuade you, but you are fanning the flames! When it causes trouble, it doesn't matter if you and I get involved in it, but the prince's reputation is everything.
Undefiled."
The short and fat attendant's surname is Lu, and his given name is Kaishan. He is nicknamed "Fat Fish Head" because the upper part of Lu is the character for fish.
The two of them have been with Yu Guming since he left. After so many years, Yu Guming has refused to change.
So much so that none of the people serving him were young.
Yu Guming looked back at them, and the two immediately stopped arguing.
Everyone knows that the prince doesn’t like to talk, but after following him for so many years, I already know what every look in his eyes means.
Yu Guming walked around, seeming to be looking for something.
But he didn't say what he was looking for.
Seeing that this was not the way to go, the two men following behind them winked at each other.
Finally, Jin Changsheng spoke: "Master, what are you here for? Tell us so that we can help you search together. Wouldn't it be faster?"
"I don't know." Yu Guming held back three words, and then continued to search.
"My little ancestor, it's already late at night." Lu Kaishan couldn't help but get anxious, knowing that this was the first time since he was a child that the prince stayed home so late.
"I want to go back...you guys go back." Yu Guming was really stubborn and changed the torch in his hand to another one, showing no intention of leaving.
Jin Changsheng accompanied him carefully and asked: "Are you looking for a living thing or a dead thing?"
"I don't know." Yu Guming still said these three words.
"Then what are you going to do when you find this thing?" Lu Kaishan asked again.
"Giving it away." This time Yu Guming finally said something useful.
"To whom?" the two asked together.
"No..." Yu Guming seemed to be resisting, "I won't tell you."
Lu Kaishan caught a glimpse of the prince's face turning red, and suddenly realized: "That must be a girl."
Yu Guming didn't answer, but his face turned redder.
"Which family is the girl from? The prince is here to find something to give to her." Jin Changsheng rolled his eyes, "Isn't it related to the Xue family?"
This is the residence of the Xue family. Yu Guming would come here instead of going anywhere else, so people can’t help but think about it.
"Don't... say it out loud!" Yu Guming was anxious. He didn't want to harm Xue Hengzhao.
"Okay, I won't tell you if I don't tell you." The two men quickly raised their hands and swore, "I won't tell you even if I kill you."
They know Yu Guming's temper all too well. He hates people who don't keep their promises.
And they know that there is only one girl in the Xue family, and she is now a slave in the palace.
It was probably the prince who met her in the palace and fell in love with her at first sight.
Lu Kaishan and Jin Changsheng rarely quarrel or talk on weekdays, but they have been working together for twenty or thirty years, which is longer than they have been with their respective wives.
They also knew Yu Guming’s personality and character, and when they looked at each other, they knew what to do.
Jin Changsheng said: "It's really pitiful that the Xue family has been implicated. Miss Xue must have been homesick for her family in the palace, but it's a pity that she can't see her.
It’s just that nothing is left here now. If the prince wants to take it into the palace to pay homage to her, it’s not easy to take something too big.”
Lu Kaishan continued: "You have been farting all day, and now you finally stop farting.
In my opinion, they have a century-old sycamore tree planted in their courtyard, so it would be better to collect some sycamore seeds from it.
This thing is light and easy to carry. Miss Xue can put it in her purse or press it under her pillow.
What's more important is that this thing has a good meaning. Since it has seeds, it will eventually take root and sprout, so that she can have hope in her heart.
Furthermore, the word tung has the same pronunciation, and there is a line in ancient poetry that says, "Tongzi will tie the knot for a thousand years," which means that we will always be united in the same heart."
When he said this, Yu Guming was absolutely elated.
He has never been good at words, and his heart is full of love for Xue Hengzhao, but he doesn't know how to express it.
Lu Kaishan is good at speaking and speaking. After his explanation, this Wutongzi is indeed the best choice.
Thinking of this, he didn't care about anything else. He handed the torch to Jin Changsheng, walked to the tree, tucked his clothes around his waist and started climbing the tree.
"What do you think Yongjie Tongxin at the back is doing?" Jin Changsheng complained to Lu Kaishan in a low voice, "How can the Xue family girl marry the prince when she is a maid in the palace? You let him have an empty wish in his heart, but it can't come true.
Didn’t you trick him?"
"It's not like you and I don't know how infatuated the prince is. It's not because I said these words that he fell in love with Miss Xue." Lu Kaishan rolled his eyes and said, "Who is he in love with?
It is impossible to change in this life, and there is no cure anyway, so it is better to be happy for a while."
