Chapter 111 Pipa Music
Since Fukang'an Xizheng came, another month has passed in a blink of an eye, Jiang Dedao went to the mountains and rivers with his daughters every day, but he was at ease.
On this day, as soon as Jiang Dedao and the girls returned to the palace, Ji Xiaolan came to the door.
"Old Ji, you are a rare visitor!"
Jiang Dedao laughed.
Ever since Jiang Dedao used the Loyalty Pill to make Qianlong and Shen Fukang'an Ji Xiaolan four loyal subordinates, He Shen and Fukang'an would come to pay their respects every few days. Qianlong also came to sit sometimes, but Ji Xiaolan basically didn't come Pass.
This time it came suddenly, what is it if it's not a rare visitor? !
Ji Xiaolan smiled and said: "Teacher, I can't help it. I'm poor. He Shen and the others will come here. They will give you a lot of curios and novelties from all over the world. I have nothing to give, so I might as well not come!"
After a pause, he continued: "Teacher, you won't blame me!?"
Jiang Dedao said with a smile: "I don't blame you, if you are like He Shen and the others, you are not Ji Xiaolan. After all, you must have something to do when you come to me!"
Ji Xiaolan said with a smile: "Everything can't be hidden from the Grand Master. This time, Your Majesty spends money like running water on the garden, and the stone lion spends the money of the silver lion!"
Jiang Dedao frowned, and said: "Old Ji, you can go directly to your Majesty and discuss this matter. Why are you afraid of him? You have to know that he is not the former emperor!"
There are palace maids and eunuchs in the living room, Jiang Dedao is naturally not good at saying that Ji Xiaolan is just like Qianlong, all of them are his subordinates, and Qianlong has no right to punish him for the death penalty. In this way, Ji Xiaolan is not up to it! ?
Ji Xiaolan can be regarded as one of the smartest people in the world, so she naturally understood Jiang Dedao's hint, and said with a wry smile: "Grand Master, today is different, since the Western Expedition, your majesty has become more and more inflated, and he will not listen to honest words. If I dare to recommend , I'm afraid His Majesty just sent me to the west!"
Jiang Dedao looked at Ji Xiaolan for a while, and said calmly: "Old Ji! Are you lazy!? Or do you think I can't get used to traveling around all day long, and plan to find me some work?!"
"Don't dare, dare not, I dare to find something for you, Grand Master, I really have no choice!"
"Sorry, I can't help it!"
Jiang Dedao took a sip of tea from his teacup.
This is undoubtedly serving tea to see off guests.
Ji Xiaolan had no choice but to stand up and say goodbye.
Coming outside the hall, Ji Xiaolan happened to meet Du Xiaoyue. Speaking of which, Du Xiaoyue knew Ji Xiaolan earlier than Jiang Dedao.
The first time I met Du Xiaoyue, I went to sing for Ji Xiaolan. Now Du Xiaoyue's identity has made Ji Xiaolan look up to her.
But Du Xiaoyue didn't mean to be arrogant at all, seeing Ji Xiaolan greeted happily: "Mr. Ji, I heard that you are here, and you came here to meet your old friend. Didn't expect you to leave now?!"
Ji Xiaolan spread her hands and said, "The Grand Master doesn't want to see me, so I have no choice but to go!"
"Mr. Ji must be getting rid of the help of the master for the sake of the court affairs, but the master is most worried about the court affairs. According to what he said, if he has the time, he might as well accompany us to travel around the mountains and rivers!"
"Hey! It would be great if the grand master spent his energy on assisting the court!"
"..."
Du Xiaoyue remained silent.
Now her eyes are wide open, following Jiang Dedao every day, influenced by modern thinking, she no longer feels that assisting the court is a serious matter.
Ji Xiaolan looked at her words and realized that Du Xiaoyue was different from before, so she changed the subject and said with a smile: "Mrs. Xiaoyue, if my guess is correct, you are in a hurry to find me, maybe there is something wrong!"
Du Xiaoyue smiled embarrassedly, and said: "I do have something to ask for, if sir can help, I will find a chance to talk to the master about your matter!"
Ji Xiaolan clasped her hands and said, "Then I would like to thank Madam Xiaoyue first, what does Madam need me to do?!"
Du Xiaoyue said: "To tell you the truth, sir, we sisters want to help the master find another maid, or a concubine, preferably a talented woman who is proficient in all aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Sir is the most talented person in the world, so I must know her." There are a lot of talented women, if there is a suitable one, please help to tell me!"
Ji Xiaolan's eyes flickered, and she said with a smile: "Mrs. Xiaoyue, what a coincidence, there just happens to be a girl who is proficient in everything, especially a pipa piece that is the best in the capital!"
"Oh, what's the name of this girl is the daughter of which family?!"
"This girl's name is Hong Xia, and she is Hong Yushi's daughter."
"It turns out that she is an official's daughter. If the master really likes it, maybe she can become a concubine directly! Please help me to talk about this matter!"
"Well, I really can't say, because Hong Yushi offended His Majesty because of the garden repair, and was punished to throw stones in Quyang, and his daughter was implicated, and now she is reduced to Chunmanlou!"
"It's a pity, I'm afraid the master won't like it!"
"Mrs. Xiaoyue, I haven't finished talking yet. I just entered the brothel today. If I rush over to save Miss Hong Xia now, it will be innocent, and the kindness of saving my life should be repaid by the spring. In order to repay the favor, Miss Hong Xia may even You don’t even need a dowry gift, just tell your master directly!”
"Mr. is right, I'm going to save people!"
Du Xiaoyue hurriedly ran out.
Chunmanlou, a famous place in the Bada Hutong, Hong Xia just arrived here, secretly thinking about running away and preparing all her baggage.
The old bustard came in, cursed a few words, and told Hong Xia to go downstairs to wait on Li Er, the guest.
Hong Xia pretended to agree, and when the bustard left, she was about to escape when Li Er barged in, wanting to force her.
At the critical moment, Du Xiaoyue rushed over and kicked Li Er away, causing him to faint.
"Are you Miss Hong Xia? I'm here to save you, come with me!"
Du Xiaoyue said.
"Sister, who are you and why did you come to save me?!"
Hong Xia was a little puzzled, but also a little wary.
Du Xiaoyue smiled and said: "I know your father is Hong Yushi, come with me, and I will tell you again when I get to a safe place!"
"Alright, then I'll go with you!"
Hong Xia helped with the burden, hugged the pipa, and followed Du Xiaoyue to leave Chunmanlou.
Soon, the bustard found that Hong Xia had escaped, and hurriedly sent someone to chase her.
At this time, Du Xiaoyue had already dragged Hong Xia away, and these people naturally did not catch up.
In fact, this is a good thing. If they really catch up, let alone them, even Chunmanlou may be uprooted!
Du Xiaoyue led Hong Xia into the palace with ease, Hong Xia was shocked and said: "Sister, are you His Majesty's maid of honor, or even a noble concubine?!"
Du Xiaoyue smiled and said: "Living in the palace may not necessarily have something to do with the emperor!"
Hong Xia suddenly said: "My sister belongs to the Grand Master?!"
"Yes, my name is Du Xiaoyue!"
"It turns out that my sister is Mrs. Xiaoyue. Hong Xia pays her respects to Mrs. Xiaoyue!"
Knowing Du Xiaoyue's true identity, Hong Xia became visibly cautious, and even in a hurry, she wanted to pay respects.
Du Xiaoyue quickly stopped her and said: "Don't be so formal, I always speak straight to the point, let me tell you straight, our sisters hope to find another sister, you can play the pipa, the master should like you!"
"Can I be with the grand master like you?! I'm not dreaming!"
Hong Xia was surprised and delighted, and felt like she was dreaming.
