Clear water and jade in the Red Chamber
Chapter 42
Shui Qingchuan of the Grand Master's Mansion got the news from the secret guard and pondered for a long time.During this first month, he spent most of his daytime at the Grand Master's Mansion, and he didn't even see all the newly selected concubines.However, according to the ancestral system, the servants were arranged according to their status, and that was the responsibility of the respect room, and he never thought about it so much.
"What are you thinking about?" Li Yang was helping him sharpen the ink, but saw that his eyes were lost in thought after hearing the news, not knowing what was going on in his mind.
"It's nothing." Shui Qingchuan dipped himself in the ink and wrote a block letter for Li Yang.
"You, you will perfunctory me, you obviously have something on your mind, but you still say no." Li Yang threw away the ink stick in his hand, and snorted.He turned around and went to sit at the dressing table, took the comb and combed the hair hanging on the side of the ears.
Shui Qingchuan smiled and put down the brush.First go to one side of the basin to clean your hands, reach out to get a towel, and walk to Liyang while wiping, Fang said: "It's just the chores of the Jia family, I don't need to think about it, but the emperor brother told me some things, let me People have to pay attention." Sitting beside Li Yang's bed, with her hands behind her head, she lay on the folded quilt.
"Prince Beijing?" Li Yang became curious, got up and squeezed to sit next to Qingchuan, and asked: "Speaking of which, since my father became the prince and tutor, I often went in and out of the palace. I also met Bei Jing a few times Prince, he doesn't talk much, and his black and red robe is quite scary, why does he always wear that mask? Is it really rumored by the outside world, because he looks ugly?"
"What are you thinking about?" Shui Qingchuan tapped her forehead lightly: "Brother Huang has a different temper and temperament than ordinary people, and his ability to control the country is even better than mine, and he is not ugly, who knows how to pass it on. "
"Above you? Then why didn't the first emperor let him be emperor?" Li Yang rolled his eyes at him: "It's also in case..."
"That's right, if the emperor is the emperor, then the person you're betrothed to now may not be me..." Shui Qingchuan smiled, took Li Yang's hand, pulled her into her arms, and leaned on her chest.How many times he had been lying in the bedroom, he had imagined that Li Yang in phoenix robes would be so intimate with him, but it never came true. Only in the Grand Master's Mansion could he experience this warmth.
"Then..." Li Yang frowned: "Forget it, pretend I didn't say it... But that's also good, so that I don't feel sad all day long, it's better to marry someone I don't like!" She suddenly changed her tone.
"You said you liked me this time." Shui Qingchuan nodded her nose: "Next time you quarrel, don't speak harshly and say something hurtful."
"If you marry someone you don't like, that's fine..." Li Yang lowered her eyes, said to herself, and pulled the tassels of the curtain with her hands.
"Don't think about it... Has there been any news from Miss Lin?" Shui Qingchuan carefully avoided this topic and brought up Daiyu. She knew that Liyang's favorite girl was Daiyu.
"Yes, yes!" Li Yang got up and went to the desk to get a few letters: "My sister sends a letter every ten days, and it seems that the fifth letter is coming soon. My second brother also has news that it will arrive after the first month , I need to stay there for a while longer. Do you want to investigate the person who assassinated Uncle Lin?"
"This needs to be investigated. The most important thing to investigate right now is the cause of Mrs. Lin's death." Shui Qingchuan sighed and looked at the top of the tent.Li Yang's letter was still on the road, but Brother Huang's letter had already been sent back. According to their guess, Jia Min's death was inseparable from the Jia family.Brother Huang listed in detail in his letter that he suspected that Master Lin's assassination was related to the Jia family. The most important thing now is to collect evidence, but all the clues have been cut off. It's not easy!
"Aunt Lin? I heard from my younger sister that my aunt has been ill for several years, but she still died in the end. After passing away for so long, is there anything wrong? Isn't she sick?" Li Yang didn't understand.
"I don't know either. Brother Huang will handle this matter. I'll be the first to tell you when I get an answer!" Qing Chuan comforted.
"My second brother is over there, just let him check it out, why do you have to work for the prince, my second brother is very good! He can do anything I think of since I was a child!" Mentioning Mo Xiao, Li Yang was very proud , leaning over and whispering in Qingchuan's ear: "At that time, the second brother helped me pass on the jokes that were circulated in the capital. I am not as thoughtful as he is, and no one suspects the Grand Master's Mansion!"
"I've heard of it before, but I didn't expect it to be written by you!" Qing Chuan laughed loudly: "Then which girl from the Wang family belonged to those plots?"
"Never mind her, the second elder brother said, it's storytelling anyway, don't care which one it is, there's nothing good anyway!" Li Yang gave him a white look, and said: "The other daughter of Miss Wang, who is tricky, intends to cling to my sister to get me. The position around you, the ultimate goal, is not you."
"Which one?" Shui Qingchuan was confused.
"It's that Xue Baochai!" Li Yang said angrily, "It was only later that I found out what rumors were being spread among those beautiful girls. I had settled on her rumors, but it was confusing at the time, and I forgot to investigate thoroughly. In all likelihood, she let it out." The wind! Let her talk about the chicken laying eggs once and think that she is sure of winning. If we meet again in the future, I will definitely not spare her!"
"Okay, okay, it's all according to your mind!" Qingchuan said fondly, then hugged her and patted her gently.

Li Yang nestled in Qing Chuan's arms, fiddling with the skirt of his chest, unexpectedly saw a bright red, took a closer look, and found that it seemed to be the rouge on a woman's mouth, and felt disgusted for no reason.Gently broke free from his embrace, got up and went to the desk to fiddle with the paper and pen.
Qing Chuan was surprised by Li Yang's sudden emotional change, and he lowered his head to check his clothes carefully, only to find out.
Last night it was Xiao Meiren who attended the bed, and when he got up early, he skipped the early morning and went out of the palace in homely clothes to come to Mo's house. This imprint must have come from that woman when she was dressing herself.Seeing how coquettish she was, she spoke softly, and when she dressed herself, she was also extremely coquettish, sticking very close.
"Liyang..." Shui Qingchuan had nothing to say, and sat by the bed.
"It's getting late, the emperor should go back." Li Yang flipped through a book aimlessly, put it back, and took another one to flip through.
"Li Yang..." Qing Chuan sighed, "Even if there are three thousand beauties in the harem, I only have you in my heart..."
"Why is it right for men to have wives and concubines in groups, and women must obey and understand to be in line with the rules?" Li Yang raised her head again, tears welling in her eyes: "Why should I be satisfied if I have your heart, and watch you every night?" Doting on different women?"
"This..." Qingchuan didn't know how to answer, so he could only say, "Liyang, the royal family cannot be monogamous. The ancestral system is like this. The Sangong and Six Courtyards have lasted for thousands of years. It is necessary to continue to have children in the future. I am the emperor again..."
"Okay." Li Yang interrupted his words, sniffed hard, held back the tears that were about to overflow, and smiled again: "Go back quickly, I won't keep you for dinner today. "
Shui Qingchuan had no choice but to stand up and walk to the door, then looked back at Liyang, but got no response, sighed deeply, and left...
Beauty Xiao was grounded for two months and moved to the remote Brocade Pavilion.All the concubines thought that Long Yan was offended by the bed-serving the night before, and she didn't even know what mistake she had made for a while, and the final crime was not serving the bed well.
The surnames in Miaojiang are complex, such as Mao, Ge, Ka, Zhai, Meng, Kua, etc. After the founding of the Shui Dynasty, the tribe took the Mao family as the respect, and there were more than ten branches under Maochi, Maolou, and Maoyuan. The leader of Xinjiang, surnamed Maochi and named Dayin, has led Miaojiang for more than 15 years.Because after the Taizu seized the country and established the country, he promoted the grace of the marginal clans and tribes, and did not insist on integrating with the Central Plains. He only set up prefectures and counties in various places, and ordered the tribes to assist local officials and manage the territories.There have been benevolent policies in successive years, aiming to slowly promote the centralization of the clan, and Miaojiang is one of them.It has been peaceful and stable for more than ten years.
This winter, Maochi Dayin, the leader of the Miaojiang tribe, took his whole family to Fuzhou for fun. On the one hand, he escaped the cold, and on the other hand, he met and negotiated with merchants who have been in the business of spices and plants in recent years.
I just had a late drink with the owners of several big firms, drank a lot, and negotiated a big deal.After going out the door, Maochi Dayin was strolling a few steps humming a little song, the servants who followed carefully supported him, and the other two quickly went to lead the horse.Except for a few flower houses, restaurants, and lanterns on the street, there was no one around.
"Is that Lord Maochi Dayin in front?" Walking to a shady place, a question suddenly came from behind.
"Ah, that's right!" Dayin turned around with a smile, and his back suddenly felt cold.I saw two men in black standing behind them, dressed exactly the same, like clay sculptures, with black gauze caps on their heads.Da Yin's martial arts skills are good, and his knowledge is not short, so he guessed that these two people must have a lot of background.He was half sober in an instant, and quickly searched the list of enemies in his mind.
The accompanying servants were already protecting him, and the Baidu powder in his waist was ready to be sprayed out at any time.
"May I ask you two..." Dayin raised his hands and cupped his fists, "I don't know what to do next?"
"My master wants to see you." One of them said: "Please also ask the leader to go with me."
"Who is your master? Why do you want to see me?" Dayin looked at the terrain of the roof ridge in his words, and if he was about to stand up, where should he retreat.
"Your Excellency, you don't have to think about the way to leave. My master has already controlled the five miles around, just to invite you to go to the appointment. The matter is urgent right now, and I can't allow you to explain it in detail. I only feel wronged, Your Excellency!" The two stepped forward step by step. , Dayin and the guards involuntarily retreated.
Using poison, maybe it's not a problem to bring down the two people in front of you, but if it's true as the two people said, the other party has a lot of people, then add all the poison with you, and you can't hide!Who is it?Are you a member of the clan?Not like, although the tribe
