Beyond Gold and Jade [Rebirth]

The lady's boudoir name is Shangguan Murou, but her temperament has nothing to do with the word "rou". In this capital, when it comes to tigress, the first one is Princess Sheng, and the second is the wife of the Duke from the Shangguan family. .

The Shangguan family was just ordinary civil servants in the previous dynasty, but they were lucky enough to marry their daughter to the late emperor who was still a third-class general. Later, the late emperor added a yellow robe, and the Shangguan family has always followed him. Well, even though Fa's wife came from a humble background, Emperor Taizong still gave her the throne, and the Shangguan family followed suit, becoming the number one family in the capital.

The first emperor had been on the throne for more than ten years, and only once did he think about abolishing the empress - at that time he discovered that the two sons-in-law were useless.

The eldest son is the current Emperor Qingzong, with mediocre aptitude and submissive temperament, not half the talent of an emperor. The second son is Prince Sheng, who only inherited the martial arts talent of the former emperor. Let him hold the pen holder, it is better to chop him a few times.

Emperor Taizong lived a life of heroism, with thousands of miles of mountains and rivers under his iron hooves. He never thought that neither of the two sons was capable of guarding the mountains and rivers.

It's not that he was worrying unfoundedly. At that time, Daegu was not long after the establishment, the court was unstable, the people's hearts were scattered, and the remnants of the former government were fleeing everywhere, working all day long on the grand plan of restoring the country. Once he dies, the Gu family will inevitably face internal and external troubles.

As for the former heroes he left behind, he was alive, and they were obedient. When he closed his eyes, the cowardly crown prince would be hard to control, let alone Prince Cheng, who had no ink.If the power is high, it will only lead to catastrophe.

If these two sons can't keep it, they will either become subjugated monarchs, or be controlled by the government and become puppet emperors.

Emperor Taizong felt that they would not be able to defend them. If nothing else, they would not be able to fight against their ancestral family, the Shangguan family, the number one family in the capital.

The Daegu Dynasty must have the surname Gu, not Shangguan, or anything else.

It just happened that the son of the imperial concubine was very intelligent at that time, and he was good at everything, so he wanted to make this child the heir apparent.

If he wanted to change the crown prince, he would abolish the empress, and the Han people recognized his son, so why not himself? He hoped that the future monarch would be born as a wife, so that he would not be criticized by later history books.

Deprivation of the phoenix position is not a small matter, but a major event of the country, and it is bound to go through some ups and downs, but he is the founding emperor, all civil and military officials are afraid of him, and the generals who accompany him to fight the country listen to him, and the court is also his word.

Seeing that the queen was abolished, she shed tears all day long.At this moment, the ruler of the Shangguan family suddenly came to see him.The queen's father, Shangguan Yan, knelt under the main hall of Qianzheng Palace and said only one sentence.

"The minister is old and wishes to return home."

The emperor was silent for a long time, then suddenly got up from the dragon chair and helped him up himself.

He held Shangguan Yan's hand and asked cordially: "The head of the state is still in good health, why did he abandon the queen and the crown prince and leave cruelly?"

Knowing that the deal was done, Shangguan Yan wiped away his old tears and said in tears: "Your Majesty, I might not want to serve you by His Majesty's side, but I'm old and don't even have the strength to draw a pen. I'm not letting Your Majesty down." Hope, fortunately, His Majesty has many talents around you, so I can leave with peace of mind and become an old fishing man in the countryside."

Emperor Taizong persuaded him a few more words, and Shangguan Yan pointed to the embossed dragon pillar on the side, and said: "If Your Majesty refuses to agree, I will sever myself in the hall now, and it is better to serve Your Majesty in the next life than to stay in the imperial court." In the hall, the old and dim-witted do things that are harmful to the community."

Emperor Taizong agreed with tears.

The two monarchs and ministers performed a good show, one left a reputation of being indifferent to fame and fortune, and the other left a good reputation of treating heroes well. The next day Shangguan Yan left the capital with his family and his mouth.

Until the death of the first emperor, the empress dowager pointed out her natal family's niece and niece to the Duke of Yue, firstly to allow the Shangguan family to return to the capital, and secondly to marry the Mo family, which has advantages and no disadvantages.

But now, the heirs of the two marriages are gone, and the wife of the Duke has gone crazy again, and the marriage has turned into a feud.

Ye Chongjin asked: "You said she was crazy, how did you think she was crazy?"

Xia He was about to explain, when she suddenly saw Madam An walking in with a fierce face, sticking out her tongue, she dared not speak anymore.

The child's fair cheeks were as fat as jade, and he froze slightly, stroked his hair, pouted at Nanny An and said, "Mommy came late today, Ah Jin is hungry."

Nanny An's heart suddenly softened into a puddle of water, and she hurriedly responded: "The breakfast has already been urged, and the little master has used the medicine first, and the meal will be served in a while."

As she spoke, she personally took the little shoes for the child to put on, and the maid behind her put a porcelain bowl with white orchids on the table, and a plate of golden chestnuts fried in sugar was placed next to it, and the sweet smell overflowed after she put it on.

Ye Chongjin didn't touch the medicine, first took a piece of chestnut with a spoon, the jade white made the golden color more attractive, his cheeks bulged, and he ate a small dish in a few strokes, the medicine still didn't move.

Xia He chuckled, poured a glass of warm water into his hand, and said, "Little master, this chestnut is for you to eat right after you drink the medicine, why did you finish it first?"

Ye Chongjin narrowed his eyes and snorted, "Because I'm hungry, master."

Chun Yi said: "Since the chestnuts are used up, I'll ask Yao Zhen for another plate."

Chunyi usually doesn't talk much, but today she took the initiative to speak up and came up with an excellent idea. Ye Chongjin rolled her eyes and said with a grin: "Sister Chunyi, remember to ask for more."

Chunyi nodded, and was about to turn around when Xia He grabbed her lavender sleeves and said, "Let me go, I'll be quicker, so I won't keep my little master waiting." In the blink of an eye, the light green skirt had disappeared at the door Before her, Chunyi pursed her lips and silently lowered her eyelashes.

Ye Chongjin didn't bother to care about the thoughts of their little daughters, and only waited for his chestnuts wholeheartedly.

Waiting bored, he knocked on the bowl with a spoon, making a crisp ding-dong sound, and when he looked up, he caught a glimpse of Nanny An's absent-minded appearance.If it was normal, she would definitely blame him for not eating the main meal, eating too many chestnuts would make his stomach bloated, and it would be indecent to knock a bowl with a spoon.

Today, he didn't say a word.

He said suspiciously: "Nurse, they said you went to the front hall, but what's wrong?"

Mother An was startled, with a trace of hesitation in her eyes, she finally couldn't help it, and said: "This old slave is thinking about discussing with Madam later, and taking the two young masters to Jinguang Temple for a vegetarian meal. Vegetarian steamed stuffed buns are very popular among pilgrims, would you like to try them, my little master?"

"Why are you vegetarian? I don't like vegetarian food."

"Little master doesn't know, the Duke's Mansion of the Yue Kingdom is really not a good place. First, the eldest son died, and the wife of the Duke's wife had something like that, there must be evil spirits. Although our Prime Minister's Mansion is doing well and sitting properly , But this kind of thing, I would rather believe it than believe it. The two young masters are like gods. If they are contaminated with bad things, the amulet may not be enough. It is better to go to the place of Buddhism. Please preside over the abbot to read Repeat the scriptures several times to get rid of bad luck."

Ye Chongjin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he knew that Nanny An believed in the theory of ghosts and gods at this age, so why didn't he, having experienced death and resurrection, he was somewhat in awe of the fate in the dark.

But as a person who had died, he was afraid of going into the temple and was saved by the Buddha.

He changed the subject and said: "Nurse, you just said, what happened to the Duke's wife?"

Mother An said: "My little master, I'm sorry, it's not that this old slave refuses to speak, but Madam told me not to stain your ears with those dirty things."

"Isn't she just crazy? There's nothing to hide. I just want to hear how she's crazy."

Nanny An's aged but energetic eyes raised upwards, forming a harsh arc, and swept all the maids and women in the room.

She laughed back angrily: "I only got the news earlier, and you have already started to break your mouth. If you have any news, you can't wait to spread it throughout the entire Prime Minister's house. I don't care about gossip elsewhere. I just use it to make a joke." The master is talking nonsense in front of you, everyone doesn't want that tongue anymore, Madam will blame you later, you just wait to pack up and leave."

She is the concubine of the madam, her affection is not comparable to that of ordinary people, even Ye Yanbai wants to give her some face, at this moment when she got angry, all the maids and women in the room shut their mouths tightly, The atmosphere dare not come out.

The child waited for her anger to dissipate, and then sighed: "Mother, if you want to blame, you can blame Ah Jin. I asked for it, otherwise none of them would have the guts to gossip in front of me."

Momo An knew in her heart that if Xia He's daughter was around, she would definitely dare, but she made such a fuss not just for this matter, but for establishing rules. The little master is kind, but they can't take The rules in the mansion are not proper, just causing trouble for the master.

Seeing the child opened his mouth, she went down the slope and said, "Little master, it is the old slave who has overstepped, but every word the old slave said was for the sake of the young master, otherwise, where would the old slave be at his age?" Zhuangzi in the countryside is not good at farming, so why bother to make trouble in the little master's house."

Ye Chongjin hurriedly said: "If Mammy is going to farm in the countryside, Ah Jin will chase after her. Anyway, Mammy won't be able to dodge for a day."

When he made such a joke, the atmosphere eased a little, and Nanny An also showed a smile, and said a few thoughtful words to him.

Just in time for Xia He to come back from fetching chestnuts, before Ye Chongjin could ask, she opened her mouth and said: "Little master, this servant is late, I met Miss Ruoyao on the way, and she asked me where I bought these chestnuts, look at the color." It looked good and smelled good, so the servants showed her the way to the kitchen, which took some time."

Ye Chongjin had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and when he heard this, he laughed and scolded: "You are so stupid, you have taken so much, just give some to my cousin, there is no need to point out the way, the road in the outer courtyard is full of twists and turns. My sister has never been there before, what should I do if I get lost."

Xia He put the box on the table, pouted and said, "How can this be done, the little master doesn't have enough for himself, so how can I share it with others."

The child lifted the lid and looked at the box full of chestnuts, really speechless.In this girl's eyes, is this how he can eat?

========

After dinner, Ye Chongjin didn't go back to his yard, but went directly to his brother's Mo Garden.

Since An's words were spoken, the servants in the mansion naturally did not dare to gossip in front of him. If they wanted to know what happened on the day of Mo Huai'an's funeral, they could only ask his brother.If he remembered correctly, such a thing did not happen to the wife of the Duke of the previous life, but an accident happened in this life, after much deliberation, there must be a reason for it.

Is it really crazy, or can't stand the blow, and just messed around for a while.

The child sat on the stone bench, swaying his feet lightly, resting his chin with Bai Yuwuxia's two small hands, making a cute appearance of listening carefully.

Ye Chonghui couldn't refuse, besides, he didn't want to refuse.

The sky is getting late and the moon and stars are thinning out, which is a good time to tell ghost stories to scare children.

Ye Chonghui straightened his face, dressed in white, and sat in the gazebo, looking like a gentleman, with a faint smile in his eyes, and he spoke slowly.
