Emperor Chen was about to draft an edict. After thinking about it, he turned to look at Wei Jian and said, "It's not a big deal. There is no need to issue another edict. Wei Jian, please accompany him to the Tang Mansion in person and pass on my instructions to Tang Ning and Tang Ning."
When the two young ladies of the family meet, no one is allowed to stop them."
Wei Jian bowed slightly: "Old slave, I obey the order."
Regardless of whether it is an imperial edict or an oral instruction, as long as it can achieve the goal, Tang Ning clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness."
"This matter is your family matter. It's hard for me to get involved. I can only help you to this extent." Huang Chen looked at him and said, "Okay, I haven't seen your mother in eighteen years.
I must be very anxious, so go quickly."
"I excuse myself."
Although it is not as big a battle as an imperial edict, the oral edict is also the emperor's oral edict, so the pomp and ceremony should be indispensable.
Tang Ning and Eunuch Wei were in a sedan, with guards in front of the sedan leading the way, and eunuchs following behind the sedan. After leaving the palace gate, they headed straight towards the Tang Mansion.
In front of the Tang Mansion, it was much busier than in the past. There was an endless stream of pedestrians. If you observe carefully, you will find that many people passed by the Tang Mansion several times, as if they were waiting for something.
The location of the Tang Mansion is not in a busy city. In fact, the people living in this area are all powerful officials in the capital, and the environment is relatively quiet.
It's just that in recent days, the number one scholar has been visiting Tang Mansion every day, which has aroused the curiosity of many people in Beijing.
In the book, there is an agarwood who saves his mother, and in reality, there is also a scholar who saves his mother. Both are full of hardships, and when everyone compares them, they have a different feeling in their hearts.
I heard that the Number One Scholar was sitting on the bench every day in the Tang Mansion. Although the Tang Mansion let him in every time, no one was willing to see him, and they would not even give him a cup of tea.
The people who heard about this were curious and wanted to see it with their own eyes.
"The number one scholar is really pitiful. He and his mother live in the same house, but they can't see each other..."
"The Tang family is so cruel..."
"Why hasn't the No. 1 Scholar come today? Could it be that he has given up?"
Everyone gathered together, and while they were discussing in low voices, they did not forget to spit in the direction of the Tang family.
The concierge of the Tang Mansion came over and said loudly: "What are you doing? Go farther away. What about you? I saw you walking around here eight times in the morning. If you don't leave, I'll have your legs broken!"
The expression on his face was a little depressed. The Tang family is a big family. Even if he is just a small concierge, his face will be bright when he goes out.
But recently, those guys who usually flattered him didn't even look at him. It seemed that he was a very shameful thing as the Tang family's concierge.
He certainly knew the reason for the change in attitude of those people, but it was not him who did not allow the Number One Scholar to see his mother. He was just a concierge of the Tang family...
He couldn't express the pain in his heart, so he could only sigh secretly and continue to drive away the spectators gathered at Tang's house.
"What are you..." Another group of people came over from the front. He just raised his hand. After seeing clearly, he swallowed the next words.
The people who came were all wearing armor and carrying swords, and there was a fierce aura coming from a distance. It looked like they were not something that a small concierge like him could afford to offend.
The crowd watching not far away was even more uproar.
"Dear me, aren't these the palace guards? What are they doing in the Tang family?"
"Look, the champion got down from the sedan chair!"
"Could it be that he is here to pick up the young lady of the Tang family? The champion is going to save his mother?"
…
The expressions on everyone's faces were both puzzled and surprised. Looking at this from a distance, Tang Ning and Eunuch Wei got off the sedan. Wei Jian looked at him with a smile and said, "Master Tang, please."
Tang Ning also smiled and said, "Eunuch Wei, please go first."
The concierge of Tang Mansion stepped forward and said in a trembling voice: "Two, two..."
Wei Jian looked at him and said, "Your Majesty has spoken," who is in charge of the Tang Mansion now? Let him come out quickly.
"Please, please come in..." The concierge first invited the two people in, then glanced at a servant standing at the door and said, "Why don't you go and report it!"
What's different about the royal tiger skin? Tang Ning came to the Tang family four times and never saw the owner once. This time when she just walked into the Tang family, she saw a middle-aged man walking out quickly.
Tang Qi stepped forward quickly, looked at Wei Jian, and said hurriedly: "Eunuch Wei is here to visit, and Tang Qi sometimes doesn't welcome him from afar, and sometimes he doesn't welcome him from afar."
As for Tangning who was standing aside, he selectively ignored it.
When the group of people walked to the main hall, Tang Qicai looked at Wei Jian and asked carefully: "I wonder if Eunuch Wei is here. What's the important matter?"
Wei Jian smiled and said: "Your Majesty has told you that the number one scholar misses his mother very much. Your Majesty has specially ordered me to bring him to the Tang family to meet the second young lady of your mansion. No one is allowed to stop him. Mr. Tang, please hurry up and invite the second young lady."
Come out."
Tang Qi looked at Tang Ning and quickly looked away.
When Wei Jian came in person, he made it clear that there was something going on. If His Majesty ordered him to take his second sister out, he had doubts in his heart. But since they only met once, he must have asked for His Majesty's order.
He thought for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face, he looked at a servant behind him and said, "Go and ask the second young lady to come out."
From the beginning to the end, he only glanced at Tangning.
"Yes!" The servant responded and hurried out.
In a small courtyard somewhere in the Tang Mansion, Tang Shui walked out and saw a servant hurriedly leaving the courtyard next door. He was startled and asked, "What are you going to do?"
The servant immediately said: "Miss, someone is coming from the palace. The master asked me to ask the second young lady to go out."
"Is there someone coming from the palace?" Tang Shui frowned and asked, "What are the people coming from the palace doing?"
"He came with Tang Ning." The servant looked at her and said, "His Majesty ordered that Tang Ning meet the second young lady."
"Your Majesty's decree?" Tang Shui showed a hint of joy on his face, followed the servant into the courtyard and said: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, come out quickly!"
There was no one in the courtyard, and there was no answer inside the house.
Tang Shui walked into the room quickly: "Sister-in-law..."
There was no figure in the room. She stood there blankly and ran back to the courtyard again.
The courtyard was not big, and it could be said that it had an unobstructed view. After confirming it again and again, she sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, feeling a little overwhelmed for a moment, and murmured: "My sister-in-law is missing!"
The servant turned pale with fright. After searching every corner inside and outside the house, he said in a trembling voice: "What should I do?"
In the lobby, Tang Ning was sitting on a chair, looking out the door. Wei Jian drank a cup of tea, looked at Tang Qi again, and asked, "Master Tang, does the second lady live far away? Why did you go so long?
"
Tang Qi was also confused, stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."
As soon as he walked out of the door, a servant ran over in a panic and said, "Master, it's not good!"
When Tang Qi saw him, he had an unpleasant premonition in his heart, and asked in a deep voice: "Why are you panicking? Where is the second lady?"
The servant trembled: "Second Miss, Second Miss is missing!"
"What?" Tang Qi's expression changed drastically: "Why is he missing?"
…
Tang Ning sat in the hall, picked up the teacup and then put it down. She looked at Wei Jian and asked, "Eunuch Wei, do you think they will not let my mother out?"
Wei Jian smiled and said: "Don't worry, Number One Scholar. Your Majesty's oral instructions are no different from the imperial edicts. Failure to respect the imperial edicts means disobeying the edicts. Mr. Tang is a smart man and will not do irrational things."
Tangning nodded and said, "Then I'll be relieved."
Wei Jian drank another cup of tea and then said doubtfully: "It's strange, it took two cups of tea. No matter how slow it is, it should have been there long ago..."
He stood up and saw Tang Qi walking in from outside with a sinking face.
He looked at Tang Qi and asked, "Master Tang, what happened?"
Tang Qi looked at Wei Jian, his lips moved, and after a long time he whispered: "Eunuch Wei, to be honest, my sister-in-law, my sister-in-law is missing."
When Wei Jian heard this, he was startled for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face again, and he said, "Master Tang, this joke is not funny at all..."
