Chapter 31 Deep scheming
The carriage stopped in front of a door called Dongyue Academy. Feng Yan loosened the reins and went forward to knock on the door.
The door opened gently. A man dressed in a cold scholar walked out.
"Young Master Jinlan!" Young Master Jinlan only said four words lightly.
"Yes, come from the capital! Come in quickly! Liu Er! Take the carriage to the backyard for parking!" The Han Ru gave a hurried salute, and then ordered a young man behind him.
Prince Jinlan and the other two entered the courtyard and suddenly felt restrained. The poor scholars all called the cold scholar Mr. Gao.
Mr. Gao invited the two of you, Mr. Jinlan, to the main hall. After Mr. Jinlan sat down, he took the roster from the rack and placed it on the table. Then he stood beside him with his robe sleeves closed and bowed.
Prince Jinlan picked up a pen and circled the names of several people on the list.
Mr. Gao quickly found the articles of those people on the shelf for Gongzi Jinlan to read.
Prince Jinlan looked at it for a while, then handed two of the volumes to Mr. Gao.
"Let them both come to see me!"
"Yes!" Mr. Gao put all the books and hurried away.
At this time, a woman in white clothes came in with tea. Rouxin poured tea for Young Master Jinlan. Young Master Jinlan looked at the leaves and smelled the fragrance of tea. Then he took a sip.
The woman stood nervously in front of the table. Her face turned red and her nose began to sweat.
"Not bad! Go down!" Young Master Jinlan said as he looked at the woman's nervous look.
The woman walked out quickly as if she had received a pardon. Rouxin felt that the woman looked well-behaved and looked at her again.
"If you feel love-hearted, just take it with you when you leave!" Young Master Jinlan put down his teacup and said.
"Thank you for your love! Xiaoke thanked my daughter here!" Mr. Gao happened to come in and heard it, and bowed. The two young men behind him also bent down to salute at the same time.
"This one is Liu Bian, that one is Han Sheng!"
Prince Jinlan took a closer look and found that Liu Bian had red lips and white teeth and fair skin. Although he was wearing a Confucian uniform, the silk sweat shirt on the lining was still exposed.
Han Sheng has dark skin and thin cheeks. He is obviously born in a poor family.
"I've seen the young master!" The two of them stepped forward and bowed.
"In autumn, I went to Beijing and the official school!" After saying that, Gongzi Jinlan picked up the teacup.
"Thank you, Young Master!" Liu Bian and Han Sheng looked happy and bowed again.
It turned out that they were asked to enter the official school. Rouxin secretly wrote down the names of the two.
Young Master Jinlan and the other two were arranged in the best room of Dongyue Academy.
After Prince Jinlan fell asleep, Roxin returned to her house.
"Girl! My dad asked me to give you some refreshments!"
"What's the name?" Rouxin pointed to the table.
"Gao Yue!" Gao Yue put the refreshment on the table and said.
"Do you want to go to the capital?" Rouxin walked to the table and sat down. She had just had a meal with Feng Yan, and Feng Yan deliberately brought the good dishes to him. Rouxin only ate a little and put down her chopsticks and left.
"Of course I want to!" Gao Yue's tone was a little excited. Although her father opened a school, most of the children of poor families were collected. Their family was poor, and Mr. Gao sometimes had to pay rice and grain.
Although the capital was not far away, Gao Yue had never been there. She was so envious when she saw the dress of Gongzi Jinlan and Rouxin.
"Since that's the case, you'll follow me from now on." Rouxin picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite. Gao Yue quickly poured her tea and served her.
This child is very clever. In the future, he will definitely be able to use it for himself. Rouxin secretly thought. How could she know what Gongzi Jinlan was thinking?
Young Master Jinlan just wanted Gao Yue to monitor Rouxin at all times. Neither he nor Feng Yan could do this.
Gao Yue didn't know that she had become someone else's pawn. She was so excited that she couldn't sleep?
Rouxin blew the candle and walked to the back window and was about to close it. Young Master Qingqian held the window frame.
Rouxin was shocked and almost screamed. Young Master Qingqian pressed her lips with his hand.
Rouxin calmed down and told the story of Gongzi Jinlan meeting the two young men today.
"He said that they would enter the official school this fall?" Gongzi Qingqian was also quite surprised. If this were the case, Gongzi Jinlan's actions were not beyond the rules.
Suddenly, Rouxin's door was knocked gently three times. Young Master Qingqian signaled Rouxin to open the door. He hid on the side of the window.
Rouxin reignited the candle. Then she pulled out her hairpin, scattered her hair and walked to the door and asked softly, "Who?"
"Me!" Young Master Jinlan's voice sounded outside the door.
"It's so late, is there anything wrong with the young master?" Rouxin did not open the door immediately.
"I want to have a midnight snack! Come on too!" Young Master Jinlan's figure disappeared outside the door. He did not give Rouxin a chance to refuse.
Rouxin glanced at the back window, and the figure of Gongzi Qingqian appeared there.
Rouxin knew she had no choice. She put on her coat and walked out of the door. She caught up with Gongzi Jinlan at the entrance of the school.
The moonlight tonight was particularly bright. Rou Xinjin followed Gongzi Jinlan and walked forward. They didn't know how long they had been away, but no store had lights.
"Young Master! It's late, the shops are closed! Let's go back!" Rouxin felt that Young Master Jinlan was not going to come out for some midnight snack.
"No hurry! There is a restaurant in front of you that doesn't close your door all night!" Young Master Jinlan walked slowly.
It turned out that he had been here! Rouxin then remained silent. Young Master Jinlan is now her master. She could only obey what he wanted to do.
The restaurant that Prince Jinlan mentioned was named Chuixianglou. It was a news office of the second prince in Liyang County.
After sitting down, Gongzi Jinlan pointed to the opposite position and let Rouxin sit down and have a midnight snack together. Rouxin hesitated for a moment and walked over and sat down.
Two bowls of glutinous rice dumplings were served. Gongzi Jinlan sprinkled sesame seeds in the bowl. Roxin took a spoon and put a glutinous rice dumpling and blew it gently.
The dumplings were delicious and Rouxin liked them very much. But she fainted on the table without realizing it.
"I've seen the young master!" Luan Yushu, who had a smart face, walked in and said with a polite look.
Young Master Jinlan frowned and looked at Rouxin. Luan Yushu was secretly surprised. Could it be that Feng Yan misleads the news?
"News came from the capital! The third prince has disclosed the private school matter to the emperor! The master is passing the message, please be careful when you go this time!"
"That's all?" Young Master Jinlan wiped the corner of his mouth with a scarf.
"There is no news about Young Master Qingqian. His guards Liu Tao and Han Guang guarded the door of his study day and night. Our people could not hear any news inside!"
"Has he left the study?" Young Master Jinlan asked.
"I don't know this! There will be news tomorrow!" Luan Yushu's heart was filled with a slight drum! It is said that Young Master Jinlan is very powerful, and what he said is true!
"I will leave here at the very hour tomorrow!" Gongzi Jinlan stood up.
Luan Yushu took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, put it in front of Ruxin's nose and shook it.
Rouxin slowly raised her head. Luan Yushu had already gone out. Rouxin only saw the complicated gaze of Gongzi Jinlan.
"Let's go back!" Young Master Jinlan took a step forward. Rouxin felt heavy when she stood up. Her body couldn't help but shake.
The light from the corner of Gongzi Jinlan's eyes was already seen. He leaned sideways and helped Rouxin. Rouxin felt weak all over and couldn't stand steadily, and turned to Gongzi Jinlan's arms.
Young Master Jinlan's body stiffened for a moment, then he picked up Rouxin and walked out of the restaurant.
Gongzi Qingqian saw this scene on the eaves opposite. Could it be that Rouxin was injured? Or...
"I'll get down and go by myself!" Rouxin struggled to get up.
"Don't move!" Young Master Jinlan whispered.
Rouxin really didn't dare to move. Somehow, she felt very comfortable in the arms of Prince Jinlan. Perhaps it was because the medicine had not yet disappeared. Rouxin fell asleep in Prince Jinlan's arms.
Feng Yan saw Gongzi Jinlan coming back with Rouxin at the entrance of the school hall. He felt uneasy.
Young Master Jinlan didn't say anything and walked in directly from his side.
