Those Years In Quest Of Honor Mine

After dinner, Zhong Wan told Yu She in detail about meeting Xuan Jing today, and asked, "What will King Yu do?"

Yu She was speechless for a long while.

Yu She shook his head: "I can't guess."

"Since I was young, I have always been unsure of what he was thinking." Yu She said, "So now I take the initiative to be the emperor's pawn to check and balance him, constantly intensifying the conflict between him and the emperor... After all, Emperor Li Xuanqiong is Li Yuwang, the emperor has been pampering me, the big reason is because he knows that I will not be Yu Wang's puppet."

Zhong Wan said: "You said... Xuan Qiong colluded with Bei Di, does he know?"

Yu She shook his head: "I probably don't know."

Zhong Wan paused and couldn't help laughing.

A smile flashed across Yu She's eyes.

"The news came from An Guochang Princess. It's hard to say whether it was intentional or not." Zhong Wan said, "My son, are you going to meet the eldest princess?"

"Of course." Yu She said, "Tomorrow."

Zhong Wan: "Shall I accompany you?"

"Don't, the matter of taking concubines..." Yu She said in a rare excuse, "I'm afraid she will blame you, so don't make trouble for yourself."

Zhong Wan deliberately asked, "Will you watch the princess beat me?"

"No." Yu She said, "But I can't cover her mouth to prevent her from scolding you, that's fine, there is no need to discuss this matter, you can stay at home by yourself tomorrow."

Zhong Wan couldn't help but nodded and said: "By the way, Lao Shizi told your generals that if Lin Siruo came to look for me recently, please be accommodating and don't stop me. I have something serious to tell him."

Yu She frowned subconsciously, not very willingly.

Zhong Wan was curious, "My son... I am very surprised about one thing, why do you hate Lin Si?"

Yu She lowered his eyes and drank his tea without answering.

"He's a mute, so he doesn't bother you. In all fairness..." Zhong Wan said, "He's kind-hearted and honest. I really don't understand why some people don't like him."

Yu She sneered, and asked Zhong Wan back, "You want to see him, except you have something to tell him, but you also want to be a lobbyist for Xuan Jing?"

Zhong Wan was taken aback, how did Yu She know? !

Yu She asked again: "If my guess is correct... Could it be that there was some unhappiness between him and Xuan Jing, and the two broke up?"

Zhong Wan thought for a while and said: "It's not considered a collapse...Xuan Jing just told me today, let me tell Lin Si that he doesn't blame Lin Si anymore, let Lin Si go back."

Hearing this, Yu She's complexion became even worse, and he said disgustedly, "We separated obviously, but in fact they were flirting and cursing, and even made you run errands in the middle... Pretentious and disgusting!"

Zhong Wan couldn't help laughing, "I haven't asked you yet, how do you know about them?"

Yu She said indifferently: "I guessed it a long time ago."

"How early?" Zhong Wan was dumbfounded, "I only found out a few months ago."

Yu She said: "A few years ago."

Zhong Wan was shocked: "Lin Si, he is so early...he has a good conscience. At that time, he sent a letter to Qian An saying how worried he was about me. I really believed it. I was afraid that he would worry about me and fool him that I was in good health, and he would have declared Xuan Jing a long time ago? Then you pretended to me a few months ago?!"

"Day..." Yu She was a little speechless, he glanced at Zhong Wan, and then said, "I don't know if we have reached that point, but the two of them must have had an affair long ago, otherwise before..."

Yu She was not very talkative, and brought medicine to Zhong Wan, Zhong Wan was so curious, "How was it before?"

Yu She was helpless, "Want to hear?"

Zhong Wan nodded like pounding garlic, Yu She said, "Take the medicine first."

Zhong Wan was helpless, took the pills, and kept urging, "Tell me..."

Yu She narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, "Four years ago? Xuan Jing's mother concubine Shu Fei went to his house... to teach Lin Si a lesson."

Zhong Wan's face changed, Yu She didn't care much and said: "I didn't do anything cruel, and it was just a misunderstanding."

"During those days... Concubine Shu's birthday was approaching, and it was a whole birthday. Xuan Jing held a banquet in her own mansion and had to hold a special event. Concubine Shu went to his mansion one day in advance, and she saw Lin Si at first sight."

"Lin Si was wearing the clothes of a servant, but he went in and out of the inner courtyard, wearing a nondescript ancient jade on his body. Concubine Shu thought it was strange, and asked, knowing that he was a criminal who fell into slavery, Even more surprised."

"Concubine Shu thought that he had sneaked into the inner courtyard to steal things, and asked people to search his room, and found a lot of gold and silver. He is a slave, and he has no monthly records. How could he have silver? Concubine Shu expected He stole something, and that dumb Lin Si can only gesture, who can understand?"

"He couldn't explain it. He was tied up. It wasn't a big deal at first. No one had servants with dirty hands and feet. Concubine Shu was still celebrating her birthday, so she didn't want to be severely punished, so she was beaten... There were more than twenty sticks. Bar?"

Zhong Wan frowned, "And then?"

"Then Xuan Jing came back and saw that the beating was already over." Yu She said indifferently, "But when Xuan Jing saw Lin Si lying on the ground being beaten, he raised his head to the sky and yelled, asking the heavens who would dare to beat Lin Si After knowing what Concubine Shu meant, he said hoarsely, Concubine Mu, if you want to kill him, come and kill me first."

Zhong Wan: "..."

Zhong Wan raised his forehead, Xuan Jing is an idiot...

Yu She was dumb: "Don't talk about Concubine Shu, I was shocked."

Zhong Wanfei said with great effort: "And then?"

"Nothing else." Yu She said, "Concubine Shu was taken aback and didn't react for a while. Xuan Jing thought that Concubine Shu was going to beat Lin Si to death, so she jumped up angrily and jumped up to block him. Lin Si He turned around and blocked Xuan Jing under him, and because of his fuss, Lin Siduo took several hits."

Zhong Wan couldn't help laughing, not feeling distressed at all.

"Concubine Shu is simply inexplicable. She had a good birthday and almost beat her son. She didn't have any suspicions at first, but when she saw this, she felt that something was wrong. She questioned the two for a long time..." Yu She said, "But At that time, the two of them probably didn't have anything, but their relationship was a little more intimate than others, and they asked them and the servants of the mansion, but they didn't find anything, so they let it go."

Yu She said: "Later, Xuan Jing was afraid that something would happen to Lin Si again, so he never gave him anything valuable."

Yu She stared at the candles in a daze, and said quietly, "In Xuanjing's courtyard, there is an old walnut tree... the walnuts are not bad. The walnuts he got were given to him as money, and when Lin thought about something or wanted to buy something, he would exchange the small walnuts with Xuan Jing."

"Later, I went to Xuanjing's mansion for a banquet." Yu She said, "I saw him secretly picking walnuts from the tree and stuffing them into Lin Si's sleeves with my own eyes...they didn't think about it. I don’t know, I can see it clearly.”

Zhong Wan thought about the picture, ignoring the fact that Xuan Jing was an idiot, it was almost a sub-painting, Zhong Wan smiled a little, "That's not right, Xuan Jing is stupid, you are angry with Lin Si for doing it. What?"

"I'm not angry with him alone, I'm jealous of them both."

The smile on Yu She's face dissipated, and he said indifferently: "How come the two of them are not separated under similar circumstances, and they can still live so happily, but I..."

Zhong Wan's heart ached.

"If you don't leave, I will definitely treat you better than Xuanjing treats Lin Si......"

Yu She glanced at Zhong Wan, and didn't say any more.

Seven years have passed, and now that I think about it, it is still hard to get over it.

Zhong Wan's illness has not yet recovered, his body is weak and easily tired, he has been yawning after dinner, he tried his best to listen to Yu She's words for a long time, and now his eyes are too sleepy to open, he Seeing that Yu She was a little unhappy and wanted to talk to Yu She for a while, Yu She got up and said, "Go to sleep, I shouldn't let you go out today."

"It's okay, but I'm a little tired." Zhong Wan rubbed her eyes, and said apologetically to Yu She, "It's all because of me, you have to go to bed early every day..."

Yu She asked back, "Who told you that I want to sleep with you?"

Zhong Wan was stunned in embarrassment, "You...you won't be with me?"

Yu She said, "I still have things to do, you go to sleep first."

Zhong Wan was not at ease, and resisted sleepiness and asked, "Are you going to the study again?"

Yu She laughed, without waiting for him to explain, Zhong Wan threatened, "Do you know what it means that the master does not sleep in his own bedroom in other people's houses?"

Yu She really didn't know about this, he frowned and looked at Zhong Wan, Zhong Wan was bluffing: "That means we quarreled! The husband and wife quarreled, and the husband was afraid that his wife would kill him at night, so he would go to sleep in the study!"

Yu She was shocked.

Zhong Wan's expression was serious: "That's true, and if there are old people in your house, they will come to ask if the young couples are not together, and persuade them to make peace. Our lives are bad, because we have failed to take care of our elders. But you can't indulge yourself just because of this, and go to sleep in the study casually, can you?"

Yu She was confused, what was all this about?

Zhong Wan said clearly, "There is also a situation where the master's family goes to sleep in the study alone to meet the concubine privately, but as far as your family is concerned, who do you think is suitable for you to go? Those nuns? How tall are you?" That little girl just past my waist? Or your generals who are as tall as the mountains? Or Steward Feng? Do you think it sounds good if the word spreads?"

Yu She: "..."

Zhong Wan said with self-pity: "And you will make it difficult for me to do this. If you go to sleep in the study, the people in your house will think that you don't like me. If things go on like this, then they won't take care of me so hard. , and then put on old clothes for me, gave me leftovers to eat, and finally drove me to the woodshed, so I could only sing while pounding rice..."

Yu She said calmly, "Continue to make up."

Zhong Wan shut up awkwardly.

Yu She frowned, "You go to bed first, I'll be here soon."

Yu She went to the study and asked someone to call out the general who went out with Zhong Wan today.

The family general went into every detail, and explained in detail what Zhong Wan did and said that day.

When Yu She heard that Zhong Wan was hesitant to see Xuan Rui, he paused, and the family general said: "The younger sister of the former King Qian'an sent people to our house several times, and every time someone brought a message, saying I wanted to see Young Master Zhong, but Young Master Zhong wrote back to her, but I never went to see her, and there was very little going out today, so my subordinates specifically asked Young Master Zhong if he wanted to go back to his residence, but Young Master Zhong said no."

The general said: "But judging by Young Master Zhong's expression, he is obviously hesitant."

Yu She narrowed his eyes, "He still feels sorry for King Ning."

The general didn't understand this, "Then why didn't you tell your son?"

"He was afraid that it would be difficult for me, so he refused to talk to me." Yu She closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "On the contrary, he was afraid that I would be unhappy, so he would always tell me heartless jokes..."

The family general also faintly sensed his master's intention to compete for the heir, and persuaded in a low voice: "What's the difficulty? In the future, if the son can get what he wants, give the young master a prince and make him Ning. King, give that young lady a princess, so Master Zhong will be completely right for King Ning!"

Yu She's heart skipped a beat, "...it's a way."
