Bright Moonlit Night

After the spring of this year, the weather in the north and the south is different.The south is cloudy and rainy, and the moon never leaves.In the north, however, the sun is shining brightly, and there is no rain for a long time.

Jin Yi was ordered to lead his subordinates to dig wells and ditches for the people whose fields had dried up for several months, and returned to Jin's mansion in ten and a half months.The flowers and trees in Fangman Court did not grow like in previous years. Even though Fu Ming's cooking was still considered meticulous, the water poured into the ground may not be as good as the rain from the sky.

Before the flowers bloomed well, it was the end of spring, so I had to resign the branches with a little bit of reluctance, and they fell into mud.

Fu Ming didn't have much time to cherish the time and hurt the spring. He received a letter from Jiangnan, saying that his nurse had contracted an illness in the spring. Not only had it not been cured for a long time, but it was getting worse. He had invited many famous local doctors but nothing worked.

Fu Ming thought of his half-teacher, Uncle Fang, so he went to the Salesian Bureau to ask him to go south to consult his wet nurse.

Fang Shiyue was not at the Salesian Bureau, and Sun Zangyong told Fu Ming that he had gone south again, and the direction of his return was clear. Fu Ming immediately wrote a letter at the Salesian Bureau, asking someone to send it to him quickly.

When Fu Ming returned home with a feeling of uneasiness, he was stopped by a boy on the way, "Master, Mr. Yan is here to invite you."

Fu Ming asked: "Master Yan? Yan Le?"

"Exactly, please come with me, my lord." The little boy showed the token, a piece of jewelry that Yan Le carried with him, it was given to him by Fu Ming when Yan Le decided to leave the Salesian Bureau many years ago.

Fu Ming and the boy turned from the main street into the alley, and finally the two of them entered a small house.

The person waiting inside was indeed Yan Le.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and when Fu Ming learned that Yan Le was close to the prince, he didn't know whether to be happy or worried for him, so he just said: "Be careful in everything, the most important thing is to take care of yourself."

"I know, Brother Ming, you don't have to worry about me." Yan Le said, but her expression became serious, "I'm here this time, and I actually have something special to tell you."

"What's the matter? But is there anything I can do to help?"

Yan Le shook her head and said: "It's not that I have something to ask for your help, but that this matter is related to your husband."

"It has something to do with him? How do you say that?"

"You and I both know that the older the sage, although the crown prince has been established, the power of the third prince should not be underestimated. Things have reached this point, and the two princes are already in the same situation. As for General Jin, he should have already stood firm. Are you on the side of the Third Prince?"

"Although I don't ask him much about the affairs of the court, the third prince values ​​him, and he is willing to be loyal to the third prince. This is something I can be sure of. And occasionally I have a night with my father, and when he is in the mood, he will Tell me a few words, he is happy in his heart when the monarch and his ministers get along." Fu Mingdao, "Ale, did you get any news from the prince? It has something to do with him?"

Yanle

He replied: "I have indeed heard some things. Although the crown prince is not as obsessed with government affairs as the third prince, he is still a crown prince, and the people around him do not allow him to remain silent. Now that it has reached this point, the crown prince will not do anything for nothing. It has to be done. Last year, General Jin made military achievements and was promoted, and the Jin family married the wealthy Tao family, and also won over the relatively neutral Zhou family. The target to be dealt with."

Hearing this, Fu Ming couldn't help becoming worried, "Everything you said is reasonable, but the matter has come to this point, and the facts cannot be changed."

Yan Le said: "A few days ago when I was ordered to go to the banquet to entertain the prince, I heard a few words outside the door. They should be about to take action. It's just that I am an actor after all, so I can't get more real news. Today Come, just to remind you, you should be more careful."

Fu Ming nodded, "I understand, it's not easy for you to tell me these things today. Thank you, Ale."

Yan Le smiled, "If I don't come, wouldn't I have let down the friendship between us for so many years? No matter what, I hope you will be safe and successful."

Fu Mingdao: "Well, I will explain it to my master when I go back. You too, you are in a tiger's den, so you have to be more careful. I also hope that you will escape unscathed."

After the two of them finished talking about their important matters, there was no further delay, Fu Ming left first, and after a few cups of tea, Yan Le went out through another door.

Fu Ming concealed Yan Le's identity and told Jin Yishi the important matter, Jin Yi said: "I know it well, I will discuss it with the third prince, and I will pay more attention. Don't worry."

Although Jin Yi said so, Fu Ming couldn't be completely relieved after all, and Nanfang hadn't replied yet, double worries weighed on his heart, which often made it difficult for him to sleep at night.

More than [-] days later, he finally received a letter from Jiangnan saying that Uncle Fang had arrived to consult and adjust the prescription for the nursing mother, and her condition had improved.Half a month later, when Fu Ming received another letter, he said that he was almost fully recovered.However, there was still no big movement from the imperial court. Although Fu Ming was not completely at ease, he gradually became more relieved. Finally, he stopped tossing and turning and regained his appetite.Jin Yi took the opportunity to ask the cook to cook meals in different ways every day, and added more nourishing ingredients, so that Fu Ming could gradually make up for what had been lost in the past few decades.

It's deep in summer.When the weather is hot, people will be lazy, fish hide under the lotus leaves and stay still; birds hide in the shade of trees, fold their wings and close their eyes.

Fu Ming was reading under the willow tree by the pool. When the sun was westward, the sun was slanting, and even the thick willow branches could not cover the shade. He went back to the room, let Xie Lan grind it, and wrote a few random words on the paper. sentence:

The summer heat is transpiring for a long time, and the tea and smoke are difficult to cool down.Why does Changxia disappear?Moji poems, Dongpo Ci.

Eyes tired of throwing books to look at the clear pond, and forgetting Zifeiyu in a daze.Suddenly the clouds scattered into wisps.Tangqianyan, an old acquaintance.

The next day, Ren Lan came to Fangman Court, and saw this new word on the desk, she said with a smile: "Brother Ming hasn't had such leisure time for a long time."

Fu Ming replied with a slight smile: "It's true that I was too exhausted a while ago, so I didn't do anything yesterday and just enjoyed the day. What's the purpose of Sister Renlan coming to see me today?"

"It is true that there are some things that I encountered when I was reading. I don't understand some things. I want to ask Brother Ming for advice."

"What book did my sister read recently? What's your question?"

Ren Lan said slightly blushingly: "I didn't read any books seriously, I just wanted to come - his family is a merchant's family, I was not born in such a family, so I really don't know much about it. So I flipped through the relevant articles in the book. Read, I read Tai Shigong's "Biography of Huozhi" yesterday, and there are a few things I don't quite understand, I want Brother Ming to clarify my doubts."

Fu Ming knew that Ren Lan had been introduced to several female relatives of well-known businessmen in the capital in addition to being friends with the sisters who had been close friends in the past this year. Hearing what Yan Lan said, he smiled and said: "My sister has a heart. As far as the problem is concerned, let's 'analyze doubts and doubts'."

The two started talking about it, and when they were talking about their interest, a maid from outside rushed into the courtyard, but before seeing anyone, she hurriedly shouted: "Young Master Ming, Young Master Ming, something happened, our grandpa Arrested, surrounded by officers and soldiers outside the house!"

The book in Ren Lan's hand fell to the ground, and his face paled instantly. Fu Ming was still holding the teacup firmly, but his hands were trembling too much. He could hardly control his expression. After a moment of slowing down, he said: "I see."

Jin Yi was arrested, and Jin's mansion was besieged by officers and soldiers, almost without warning, and came suddenly.How many people in the capital were dumbfounded and looked at each other, but they didn't dare to approach Jin's house, and they didn't dare to openly inquire, for fear of causing trouble to their upper body.

When Fu Ming first heard it, he was also very frightened, but now he is the only healthy adult man in the mansion, he must stabilize himself first, and then appease the whole family.

The old lady has lived to this age, and she has gone through storms, but she is still terrified. Fu Ming told her the events of the past few days in a low voice, but deleted a few points, which does not sound like a serious hindrance , and said that both Jin Yi and the third prince were ready to deal with it, and this matter should be just a surprise.When the old lady heard this, Gao Xuan's heart sank slightly, and the tears in her eyes gradually stopped.

Fu Ming said the same thing to Ren Lan, and asked Ren Lan to comfort Xin Yue and the maids and women who served Jin Yi.Zhaoyan was still young, so Fu Ming found a more relaxing reason to calm him down, and then took him to Fangmanting to stay temporarily, lest he be afraid or someone would make irresponsible remarks in front of him.

In this way, despite the sudden change, the Jin mansion did not panic, but was calm as usual, which saved a lot of trouble for the guarding officers and soldiers. The style of the year.

The mansion is now stable, but Fu Ming's heart is full of anxiety that others don't know. He tried to inquire with the general who led the guards at the gate of the mansion, but the general "pleased" him back with his wallet in a cold and serious manner. Inside the mansion, Fu Ming knew that it was impossible for these people outside to be accommodating.

The red sun is setting in the west, and the late summer sky is as gorgeous as a brocade. Fu Ming's heart seems to be soaked by the sunset, and he feels more and more heavy.

The sun was dim, and the tired bird had returned to its nest, but Jin Yi failed to return home.I don't know why the court arrested him, nor what his current situation is, and what will happen in the future.

Just when Fu Ming was living like a year, Jian Lan came up and said, "My lord, please see the porter who just entered the mansion to deliver firewood."

Although Jin's mansion was besieged, people in the mansion were not allowed to go out, but those who sent firewood, food and medicinal materials were not prohibited from entering and leaving. It seemed that the matter was not at its worst. Take it easy, and ask someone to invite the Chafu to the courtyard.

Sure enough, Chai Fu was entrusted by someone to report the news. After seeing Fu Ming and saluting, when Fu Ming asked him, he immediately replied:

"Young master, the younger one came here under the entrustment of Master Zhou. Master Zhou found out why General Jin was arrested, and said that he had the intention of disobedience."

"The heart of disobedience?" Hearing this, Fu Ming's slightly wide heart sank again.

"I heard that someone reported on General Jin, saying that he was hiding the family members of the rebels. Now the family members of the rebels have been found, and several low-ranking officers and soldiers who followed the general south to suppress the rebellion testified. The woman was still in her belly at the time. The child in the middle was indeed taken back to the capital by the general to settle down."

The family members of the thieves?woman?child?Fu Ming suddenly understood.Jin Yi must have been ignorant of the truth at the beginning, but he didn't want his unintentional acts of kindness to be used by others to frame him, and that woman and child, with such identities, why did they want to enter Beijing?Now that he is arrested, he will never return.

Seeing the change in Fu Ming's eyes, the porter hurriedly persuaded him, "Young master, Master Zhou asked the younger one to tell you that although General Jin is currently under arrest, the charges have not been established, and His Majesty is only temporarily imprisoning him. And ordered a thorough investigation. General Jin is loyal and upright. The Holy Majesty will definitely return him justice. The Zhou family will not ignore this matter. General Jin will get the care he deserves. Please rest assured, take care of yourself, and take good care of the elders in the house. Weak women and children, wait for General Jin to come back safe and sound."

Hearing this, Fu Ming calmed down a lot, nodded and said: "I know, please tell Young Master Zhou for me, thank you for your kindness, I will remember this kindness."
