Chapter 579: Attacking Deng Mansion
Chapter 579: Attacking Deng Mansion
In Huowa Lane, Zhu Jinyu got off the carriage.
The steward helped her carry the medicine box, and the two of them walked into the clinic.
As you enter, a cool breeze hits you.
Zhu Jinyu casually glanced around the lobby for a moment, checking on the patients being treated there.
There are doctors on duty in the clinic who can handle some minor illnesses.
Zhu Jinyu would only take action personally when the situation became extremely serious.
Checking on these patients every day is one of her main jobs.
But soon, she saw the young man sitting in the most conspicuous position at the door.
He was half lying on a chair at the moment, with a cool towel on his head to cool off.
A waiter brought the boiled medicine and placed it on the small table beside him, then lowered his head and said something.
None of this matters. Zhu Jinyu's eyes fell on the large bunch of daffodils on the table, and her brows slightly frowned.
She turned her head to look at the steward and whispered:
"Mother He, this person's illness is still not healed?"
Mother He knew who she was talking about, and a trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes:
"Miss, he keeps claiming to be dizzy,
I have taken six doses of medicine, but I still haven't gotten better.
I think he stayed in the clinic under the pretext of being sick."
As for why, both of them knew it very well. A hint of coldness flashed in Zhu Jinyu's eyes:
"Tell him not to come tomorrow.
If you come again, tell Shen Zhengxin about this and let him deal with this person.
If you spend all day in the clinic with flowers and plants, the adults will misunderstand you. "
"Yes"
The steward became serious and looked at the young lady whose complexion was becoming more and more charming.
I secretly decided in my heart that I must drive this person out.
But at this moment, the young man sniffed his nose.
Take your eyes away from the book,
Soon he saw Zhu Jinyu, who stood out from the crowd in the clinic, and his eyes lit up.
He quickly propped himself up and sat up, saying loudly:
"Doctor Zhu, I can smell the fragrance in the air and know you are back.
To show my gratitude for your care these days,
I specially sent you a bunch of daffodils. I hope you, Doctor Zhu, don’t despise them.”
Zhu Jinyu's face was cold, and he spoke calmly:
"Mr. Sheng, this is a clinic, please don't speak too loudly.
Also, flowers and plants are not good for patients, so please take them away.”
After finishing speaking, Zhu Jinyu turned and left.
The female manager beside him took a few steps forward and stood in front of Sheng Yangshu, and her usually warm smile disappeared.
He said with a forced smile:
"Mr. Sheng, your illness has been cured. Please don't come again tomorrow."
"Hey, what's going on in your clinic?
I am ill and I have money, so can't I come here for treatment?"
Sheng Yangshu tried to step over the housekeeper several times, but was blocked by the broad body of the female housekeeper.
Sheng Yangshu felt like he had hit a mountain.
"Guichun Clinic does not welcome you. If Mr. Sheng comes again, don't blame the clinic for throwing you out."
The manager spoke coldly, ignoring the furious Sheng Yangshu.
He then looked at the many patients staying in the clinic with an apologetic look on his face:
"Dear guests, please forgive us for the poor hospitality."
"Cough cough."
Xia Yuanji, who had been hiding in the corner, coughed twice.
The pale cheeks have become a little rosy,
Looking at the daffodils and smelling the fragrance in the air, a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes.
Fortunately, the waiter guarding the door stepped forward.
Take that daffodil away and throw it away!
"What are you doing!" Sheng Yangshu was furious.
Xia Yuanji then spoke:
"My dear brother, this is a medical clinic.
Have you considered the feelings of others when placing these complicated things here? "
"Who are you?" Sheng Yangshu became furious and glared at him.
Seeing how angry he was, Xia Yuanji shook his head helplessly:
"Only women and villains are difficult to raise. Brother, please don't embarrass yourself."
Afterwards, Sheng Yang left angrily.
Not long after, a guard in armor hurried into the clinic with a serious expression.
At first glance, I saw Xia Yuanji standing in the corner.
He stepped forward quickly and said:
"But Xia Yuanji?"
Xia Yuanji looked at the person in front of him, with a flash of vigilance in his eyes:
"Exactly."
"Come with me. Lord Lu wants you to meet him at the Ministry of Industry."
Soon, Xia Yuanji, looking a little weak, arrived at the imperial city that all the scholars in the capital dreamed of.
I also saw the Ministry of Works, which was ordinary yet luxurious and restrained.
Not long after, he saw Lu Yunyi standing with his hands behind his back in the yamen.
"Student Xia Yuanji pays homage to the Minister."
"Ah."
Lu Yunyi turned around, looked at his increasingly pale and thin body, and asked:
"You have been in the clinic these days, right?"
Xia Yuanji was stunned and nodded quickly:
"Master Lu, the students have been here these days."
"Do you know Sheng Yangshu?"
A hint of doubt flashed across Xia Yuanji's eyes, but he quickly realized who this person was.
"Your Excellency, I know him."
"Okay, tell me everything he did in the clinic these days, no matter how big or small."
After Lu Yunyi sat down at the desk, Xia Yuanji also sat down.
He didn't ask why, but spoke quickly.
On the side, the guards were writing down the records quickly.
During this process, some questions from Lu Yunyi were also mixed in.
"It would be best if there were specific dates for when he entered and left the clinic."
"Yes"
Although Xia Yuanji was ill, his memory was excellent.
Sheng Yangshu is a person who is always trying to be different every day, so it is even easier to record him.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Xia Yuanji told everything he knew.
The personal guards at the side also filled up two large sheets of paper with notes.
Lu Yunyi took the paper and looked at it carefully, then nodded with satisfaction:
"Thank you very much for this. I hope you will pay for your stay at Guichun Clinic.
I will ask Jinyu to exempt you.
In addition, she will give you the best medicine to make you get better soon."
"Jinyu?"
Xia Yuanji's eyes suddenly widened.
He suddenly understood why the minister in front of him asked these questions.
He didn't dare to say more, and bowed quickly:
"Thank you, sir. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
"Ah."
After Xia Yuanji left, Lu Yunyi looked at the paper with a frown.
Although he was annoyed by the actions of the Jinyiwei,
But after seeing Sheng Yangshu's words and actions,
They don't look like well-trained professionals at all.
He looked more like a temporary extra, and was not even close to Black Hawk.
How could the Jinyiwei be so stupid?
Find such a person to do such a shady thing.
But it doesn't matter, since the hand has been extended,
He wasn't going to be polite either.
Soon, Chen Jingyi, dressed in black uniform, arrived at the Ministry of Works.
When Lu Yunyi saw him, he looked him up and down for a moment:
"Okay, I look younger after staying in Yingtian for these few months."
Chen Jingyi is in his forties.
When he was in Gyeongju, his face was full of wrinkles, his skin was dark, and he had frostbite.
But now, not only are there fewer wrinkles on my face, my skin is fairer,
The whole person became radiant, as if he was ten years younger.
"Thanks to you, my lord, I have been promoted and made a fortune. It's hard for me not to be happy."
"Okay, I called you here today for something serious."
Chen Jingyi's face was solemn: "My Lord has ordered."
"Don't worry, take a look at this first."
Lu Yunyi handed over the document and said:
"This man is a chess piece placed by Xie Yun, a captain of the Imperial Guard, and his purpose is unclear.
You have to find out what they really think.
Starting with Mrs. Dai,
You can cheat, seduce, or torture, whatever you want.
Anyway, we must let Xie Yun see the price of doing this.
By the way, don’t let Xie Yun run away.”
Chen Jingyi's face was solemn. He could hear the anger hidden in the adults' words.
After just a moment's thought, he nodded:
"Sir, I understand."
"How many days?"
"Five days."
"In three days, whether we succeed or not, we will bring them back."
"Yes!"
Chen Jingyi left with the documents and people.
Lu Yunyi sat motionless behind his desk with a deep expression.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yunyi stood up and walked out of the Ministry of Works.
Soon, he found Deng Lingyun in the Yaohua chess and card room.
At this moment, she was rolling up her sleeves and wiping the mahjong tiles.
Seeing Lu Yunyi coming, surprise flashed in her eyes and she quickly stood up and rushed over.
"Lord Lu, how come you have time to come here today?" Deng Lingyun looked much better, and her whole person became brighter.
At this moment, her smile is as beautiful as a flower, full of the vitality of a young woman.
"Come and see you."
Lu Yunyi smiled and looked at the many mahjong tiles on the counter:
"There are other people to do this, why do you do it yourself?"
"Idle time is idle time,
Sister Song was studying at home, while Sister Qin was taking care of the layout of the fruit and vegetable shop.
I was the only one in the store all day, and it was a bit boring.”
Deng Lingyun stuck out her tongue, walked closer with a smile, and took Lu Yunyi's arm:
"Master Lu, let's go to my house for dinner today.
I have learned a few delicious dishes recently. ”
Lu Yunyi smiled and touched her head.
Deng Lingyun is also a capable person.
From a young lady who never had to do housework to a heroine who does everything herself, the transformation is seamless.
Lu Yunyi pulled her and comforted her:
"I came to see you today because I want to visit your home on Zhangde Street."
Deng Lingyun was stunned and blinked slightly.
He soon understood, his eyes lit up:
"Sir, are you going to tell Daddy?"
"Yeah." Lu Yunyi smiled and nodded:
"It's not a good idea to let you stay out all day. I have to give you an explanation."
Deng Lingyun's thoughts were complicated. Her nose and eyes immediately turned red and she began to sob slightly:
"My Lord, you are so kind to me."
She knew this step was difficult and would face many obstacles.
After all, the positions are different, and it takes great determination to make such a decision.
"Okay, I've prepared the gifts, let's go now."
"it is good"
Dagongfang, Zhangde Street, Deng Mansion.
Since Deng Ming left Jinyiwei,
He stayed at home and did not go to the palace to attend court.
He is in his study at the moment, holding a brush.
His handwriting is beautiful and full of vigor as he writes freely on the rice paper.
However, Deng Ming was not satisfied with his own calligraphy. The reason was that he was not at peace.
Taking a deep breath, Deng Ming placed the brush on the table.
He walked to the door of the study and stared at the empty courtyard in a daze.
Apart from some servants, he was the only one left in the mansion.
It made him feel a loneliness he had never felt before.
This is more serious than when he was in the Jinyiwei Yamen.
At this time, a figure hurriedly appeared in the courtyard. It was the elderly housekeeper.
"Master, the young lady is back, the young lady is back!"
Deng Ming suddenly raised his head, his face glowing.
The whole person seemed like a different person, full of energy and spirit in an instant!
Not long after.
Deng Ming saw Lu Yunyi and Deng Lingyun standing in front of several carriages at the door.
Strangely, his earlier surprise disappeared without a trace;
His eyebrows were twitching wildly, and he looked ridiculous.
How could you come here with such fanfare?
And with so many gifts and such an attitude,
Are you telling him something?
Deng Ming's eyes scanned Lu Yunyi.
He has calmed down recently and feels more and more that this person is not as simple as he seems.
Especially when the Jinyiwei wanted to reach out several times,
He dodged them skillfully.
Deng Ming believed that this feeling was not an illusion, but intentional.
He already regarded this person as a real minister of the six ministries and nine departments.
but now.
Looking at the carts of gifts in front of me,
Deng Ming suddenly had a sense of déjà vu as if the six ministries and nine officials were dancing and showing off in front of him.
No matter how weird it looks.
"Master Deng, I have not prepared any gifts for you today.
These are all things that can be used in daily life, please don’t be offended, Master Deng.”
Lu Yunyi's face was full of smiles.
Like a son-in-law who comes with gifts, his face is full of simplicity and restraint.
But Deng Ming's heart was filled with alarm and his vigilance soared!
"No, no! Is there a trap?"
But Deng Ming thought hard and couldn't figure out anything.
This made him even more unpredictable.
Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Lu Yunyi didn't care and instead pulled Deng Lingyun who was hiding behind him.
"Lingyun, you always tell me that you miss home. Now that you're home, why are you afraid to see anyone?"
Deng Lingyun immediately noticed a strand of white hair hanging down from her father's temples. Her lips moved and tears welled up in her eyes:
"Dad, why is your hair white?"
Deng Ming, who was pretending to be reserved, lost his composure in an instant.
The whole person became uneasy, and even the manager next to him secretly gave him a thumbs up.
The only one who can control the master is the young lady!
"Come in."
After struggling for a long time, Deng Ming finally sighed.
As soon as these words were spoken, the steward and waiter hurried down the stairs to help pack up the gifts.
Soon, Lu Yunyi brought Deng Lingyun and Deng Ming to the main hall.
He sat in the main hall, watching the waiter serve tea to the two of them.
Then he saw his daughter reaching out to test the teacup for Lu Yunyi to see if it was hot.
I was immediately furious!!
After a while of gnashing teeth,
He heaved a sigh of relief helplessly, looked at Lu Yunyi, and said in a sarcastic voice:
"Lord Lu, how come you have time to come to my mansion today?"
"Uh"
Lu Yunyi cursed the old man in his heart.
Then his expression remained unchanged, still maintaining a warm smile:
"Master Deng, this is too polite. You are the elder, Yun Yi should call you uncle."
"Yes, Daddy."
Deng Lingyun also joined in, which made Deng Ming very angry.
He took a few deep breaths, and the manager beside him smiled continuously.
Now the young lady is back, and the master is alive again.
Very good, very good!!
Deng Ming saw him smiling smugly and glared at him.
The steward immediately shut up and stood respectfully aside.
Lu Yunyi got straight to the point:
"Uncle Deng, Lingyun and I have known each other for a long time and we are in love with each other. I came here today to ask Uncle Deng for his blessing."
After hearing this, Deng Lingyun's face suddenly turned red.
Looking down at my fingers tangled in my dress
In the Jinyiwei Yamen, Mao Xiang, dressed in official uniform, hurried back from the palace.
Holding a thick document in his hand, his face looked extremely solemn.
But before he could enter the government office,
Ma Yi, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, walked over with a serious expression.
Mao Xiang paused and looked over. The two of them looked at each other.
Mao Xiang knew that something big was going to happen, so he waved his hand gently, motioning for him to go inside and talk.
During this process, neither of them made a sound.
After entering the house, Ma Yi spoke in a deep voice:
"Sir, I just received news.
Lu Yunyi left the Ministry of Industry and went straight to find Deng Lingyun.
Then he took her and many gifts to the Deng Mansion, the big workshop.
Lord Deng came out to greet us personally, and from his appearance, it seemed that he was proposing marriage."
"what?"
Mao Xiang put down the clerk's hand and paused, his face full of absurdity.
Ma Yi handed over the document.
Mao Xiang took it and began to check it quickly.
After watching it once, he couldn't believe his eyes, so he watched it again.
Finally, he slammed the document on the table angrily:
"What is this for? What is he going to do?
Proposing marriage at this time? Is he a three-year-old child? "
Mao Xiang blurted out a series of questions.
He stood up and paced back and forth in the room with his hands on his hips.
Ma Yi also had a ridiculous look on his face.
Lu Yunyi has become a banner of the imperial court.
As long as he is there, a steady stream of young people will target him.
Work hard to climb up and serve the palace.
Everything was fine now, why did you go to the enemy's house for no apparent reason?
And you are making such a big fuss about it, who are you trying to slap in the face?"
"Investigate, investigate thoroughly, why he did this!"
Mao Xiang's voice became even more furious.
He had just entered the palace, which showed that the situation was now very good and everything was progressing in an orderly manner.
But now, before I could kill the enemy,
They are fighting among themselves, which is clearly a slap in his face.
Ma Yi took a deep breath:
"My Lord, please be patient. I feel
Things may not be that complicated.
Maybe it was just a momentary impulse of young people who were attracted to each other."
"You fart!!"
Mao Xiang grabbed the document and threw it over:
"Is he a fool? Or do you take me for a fool?
Two quarters of an hour ago, I assured His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that there would be no trouble in the company.
Now, there is no trouble in the business.
There is trouble with Shanghang's father. How can I explain this to the palace?"
"Go check it out. I want to know what happened!"
After saying this, Mao Xiang flicked his sleeves and strode out of the house.
"Where are you going, sir?" Ma Yi asked.
Mao Xiang had nothing to say about his stupidity, so he turned around and cursed:
"Enter the palace!"
