Brother Donggong

The Chu family was overjoyed.

As soon as I arrived at the Chu Mansion, I was shocked by the situation.

Chu Qiangsheng is indeed Chu Qiangsheng!

Even without the hat of a cabinet scholar, he, Mr. Chu, is still a romantic figure through the ages.

There was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate him, give gifts, and flatter him. The situation outside the gate of the Chu Mansion was like a car like running water and a horse like a dragon.

However, Chu Qiangsheng has been removed from the cabinet by my father after all, and the prince seems to have some troubles on his back, and I don't like to socialize with those outsiders, so we directly entered the back garden of the Chu Mansion through the back door.

When Chu Qiangsheng saw Wen Zhan arrived, he looked at me and Wen Zhan again. I knew they had something to say, but they didn't want me to hear it, so I waved my hand.

It was Chu Qiangsheng who came over and said with a smile, "My lord, I will sing here for a while. You like excerpts. I will reserve a good seat for you. It is by the lotus pond over there. You can also listen to operas and watch them." flower."

I originally wanted to say, Qiangsheng, you forgot to invite me to drink flower wine, but suddenly I remembered that Chu Qiangsheng is no longer in the cabinet, and besides, Wen Zhan is still by my side, so I swallowed those words.

I was holding a purple sand handpot, filled with Mingqian tea, and while thanking Chu Qiangsheng, I went outside for a walk.

This is also the first time for me to take a closer look at Chu Qiangsheng's mansion today.His courtyard is elegantly built, there is a lotus pond over there, and a college is built beside the pond, with a plaque hanging on it, it is named Lianchi College.Around the lotus pond, there are bamboo courtyards and some pavilions, which are named Zaoyong Pavilion, Saran Pavilion, Zhuojin Pavilion and Guanlan Pavilion facing a pool of water.

Chu Qiangsheng probably still believes in Buddhism, I saw that he has read Buddhist scriptures.I don't know where he dug up two linden trees and a ten-year-old dragon's blood tree, and planted them on both sides of the stone bridge. The rest, on the embankment, were the weeping willows covered by clouds.

I paced westward, humming a little song, and pretending to look at the couplets that Chu Qiangsheng himself wrote for the pavilion, such as "the moon in the sky is far away from the platform, the flowers in the forest are hidden in the depths of the song", which is a little delicate.

I was thinking about finding a stone bench to sit on, when a person walked over from the bamboo forest, I was taken aback at first, I thought I saw my father.I rubbed my eyes again, only to realize that it wasn't my father. My father was sickly, but he had a kind of grace of his own.The person in front of him was also wearing a white robe, with a white fur covering half his arms, but he looked a bit downcast, as if my father had entered a casino and was about to lose his pants.

I didn't know him well, so I greeted him, "The Third Highness is here too, I'll toast you a glass of wine later."

That person was none other than Jia Wang Yulan.

Yulan used to always follow Wen Zhan, dressed like twins, but now for some reason, she has taken a liking to my father's attire, so she always imitates my father intentionally or unintentionally.For example, smoking with an ivory pipe, and wearing a white fox fur.

Having said that, I thought about it and detoured to go elsewhere. Who would have thought that my younger brother would just walk over there.

"Brother Emperor, take a step slowly, can Rong Yulan say a few words?"

No need to guess what it is.It's nothing more than thinking about the few secret accounts of the Du family in Lao Cui's hands.They couldn't persuade Lao Cui, so they came to me to fight Qiufeng. I don't want to cause this trouble.

I quickly said, "Third Highness, there is wind leaking from all sides, and it is next to the water, and it is cloudy and cold. It is not good to stay here for a long time. Why don't we talk in Chu Qiangsheng's small square pot study? It is warm over there. "

Yu Lan smiled, "His Royal Highness is over there, and there are some words that are difficult to explain clearly."

I hurriedly said, "Third Highness, you are a gentleman, and what you say is so literal that I don't understand. If you have official business, you can go to Chu Qiangsheng or the prince. If you have private matters, you can go to Lao Cui. I understand better than I do. I'll take a step ahead."

Yulan didn't stop me.

It was when I just entered the bamboo forest that I suddenly heard him say softly, "Brother Emperor, if there is even a little bit of private affairs between you and His Royal Highness that leaks out of the palace, it doesn't matter whether the world asks about your sins or not. Royal Father wants to ask about my crimes, but because of my younger brother's relationship with you for so long, listen to me, okay?"

I felt that Yu Lan was holding a sharp sword, straight into my heart, and nailed me to death on the spot.

My feet couldn't move anymore, they stopped there.

I waited for Yu Lan to walk over step by step.

He asked me, "Brother, don't you ask Father how he knew?"

I smiled wryly, "I can't hide this kind of thing even if I want to. I knew that such a day would come. Well, Yu Lan, just say what you want."

But Yulan asked me back, "Brother Dahuang, tell me, what do you have that I want?"

Me, "No. I'm just a poor man, and the Third Highness doesn't like my things. I want to give you something else, and you don't lack anything. I don't know what the Third Highness wants."

Yu Lan pulled out a box from her sleeve and placed it on the stone table in front of me.

"I don't want anything from Brother Huang, but I want to show Brother Huang something. Can you open it and have a look?"

He said without looking at me, but at the bamboo next to him.

I took a closer look at the wooden box he took out, it was not big, it was made of ordinary poplar wood, it was painted with clear varnish, and it looked quite clean.

I took it, opened it, and inside was a piece of paper.

Yulan was sitting on the stone bench over there, the wind from the bamboo forest blowing over, scattered two strands of hair on his forehead, just hanging on his smooth forehead, his eyes were somewhat melancholy, like a poet.

I flipped through the paper and only glanced at it. It was the old file of the doctor in the respect room, which said that my mother was not perfect when she entered the palace.

With a snap, I closed the wooden box.

I asked him hoarsely, "What do you mean?"

Yu Lan smiled and raised her head to look at me, "It's nothing interesting. I also found this record by accident. It's decades old. It was put together with so many abandoned old files. It was burned, but I saw it. I found someone to copy and print this piece of paper according to the original text. Take a closer look at the office seal, this one is a fake?"

I gritted my teeth, "The seal letter is real, but the things written on this paper are probably fake."

Yu Lan, "Is it fake? Well, I will find out this record and present it to the queen. She will be in charge of the affairs of the harem. Let her investigate and see who it is who has the guts to frame Xiang Xiang. The name of the imperial concubine?

Brother Dahuang also knows that my dynasty is no better than the Han and Tang Dynasties. My dynasty adheres to principles, and the palace law is strict. A woman who loses her virginity before entering the palace cannot serve her father. Titled, entered a nun's nunnery, and died for the rest of his life, and his father also lost his morals, and he had to issue an edict of sin. "

I sneered, "It's a big deal."

Yu Lan said lightly, "This is the Dazheng ancestral system. Whether future generations follow it or not depends entirely on oneself. If this old document is true, how did Concubine Xiang serve her father and what happened at that time? Who is involved, and how to participate, needs to be thoroughly investigated. If this old document is false, then who is involved behind it, and why the concubine is slandered, these conspiracies also need to be investigated."

He stood up from the stone bench, "If Brother Dahuang has no objection, then I'll go back and present the matter to the Queen for her to investigate."

"Don't tell me, the third brother walks slowly first."

I grabbed him right away.

I know how powerful this is.Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, if it gets to the queen, my mother will let her ruin it.

Yu Lan was not in a hurry to walk, he stopped and looked at me.

I said, "Third brother, do me a favor, let me investigate this matter.

My mother is a simple country woman who doesn't understand anything and doesn't understand anything.In her heart, there is probably only the emperor father. No matter whether he is the emperor or a pawn, she believes that he is her man and the father of his child.

She is the kind of person who believes that a man can stay together for a lifetime.

I will not allow anyone to question her innocence. "

His lacquered eyes looked at me with interest.

I also said, "Cui Bicheng has things that my third brother, Mr. Du Ge, and Mr. Xiao Ge are interested in. It is the secret account of the Du family in Jiangnan in the past few years. I asked him to bring the things to you. Third brother, what do you say?" How about it?"

Yu Lan smiled, "This is Brother Dahuang's love, my brother is here to thank Brother Dahuang."

I looked at him, "What about the original file?"

Yu Lan, "Seven days later, at Prince Jia's Mansion, Brother Da Huang will bring those secret accounts in exchange for the original files of the respect room, how about that?"

What else can I say, and I can only say with a smile, "Okay, that's good."

But Yu Lan laughed loudly, "Let's just say, in this world, no one is as close as my own mother.

Brother Dahuang, here today, I will tell you something from the bottom of my heart, no one can be trusted in this Dazheng Palace.What kind of person is His Royal Highness, you know him better than me.Don't look at his affectionate appearance, in fact, his heart is as cold as a stubborn stone, and these loves in the world can't move him.My cousin Du Minghe is the concubine he is marrying, the future queen of Dazheng, what will happen now, it is chilling to think about.

Also, the prince said last time, don't let others touch you, saying that you are his life!Haha, isn't it funny, you are his life? !

People like us, if we really care about something in our hearts, we have to hide it so that others don't know. To quote an inappropriate old saying, the sharp weapon of the country cannot be shown to others.Otherwise, it is tantamount to handing over the knife into the hands of others.What do you say?Big Brother? "

Me, "I've said it all, the Third Highness is so eloquent, I can't even understand, I don't know what you're talking about."

But Yu Lan wasn't angry, "It doesn't matter if you understand it, or you don't understand it, Brother Dahuang, as long as you remember to be a guest at Prince Jia's Mansion in seven days, don't worry about anything else."

It was almost dark when I returned to the water pavilion beside the lotus pond to listen to the opera.

Wen Zhan seems to have been looking for me.

"What's the matter, have you lost your way?"

He came over and kissed me on the cheek.

When I saw him, my heart suddenly felt hot, and I wanted to tell him what happened just now, but when the words came to my lips, I stopped suddenly.At that time, he called my mother a "slut" vividly. He didn't seem to care about the status of my family members. He didn't care if it didn't bother him. He didn't really care about those who hindered him. Start ruthlessly, and remove them together.

My mother really wants me to get married, and this wish must be remembered by him. It is better for me to make less trouble.

So he turned around and stared at Chu Qiangsheng, "Old Chu, what are you doing with so many twists and turns in that garden? It made me turn around and couldn't get out. Do you want to make it like that? Cheating or wanting to become a fairy?"

Chu Qiangsheng raised her delicate eyebrows, cast a sidelong glance at me, and left without saying a word.

I was despised by him.

Wen Zhan didn't say anything, just smiled, and pulled me aside to sit down, "Let's watch a show."

So I looked over there on the stage.There was a thud, thud, thud, swaying red, green, and green. Xiao Dan's face was smeared with a lot of powder, as if she had just stuck her head in the face jar. She babbled and babbled, and I babbled. toothache.I think today I'm not in the mood to listen to the show at all, but I turned to look at Wen Zhan, but he was looking at the bottom of the attic, where those people were sitting.

Someone made a toast to Chu Qiangsheng, and that person was Yu Lan.

I think, in the 11 years that Yulan and I have known each other, there has never been a day when I saw him so unpleasantly like today.

Wen Zhan said suddenly, "Looking from the back, Yu Lan looks a bit like Emperor Father."

I cast a glance at him, "Like the down-and-out look of the father after he besieged the Dazheng Palace to the pawnshop."

Wen Zhan was happy, "Since you were young, why have you always disliked him? He doesn't seem to have offended you."

I thought about it, "Do you still remember that in Yuzheng Palace, when Qingsu's cat died, he cried and begged Father to severely punish the person who killed his cat?"

Wen Zhan thought hard for a long time, and then nodded hesitantly, "I seem to have a little impression. At that time, the court staff beat a young eunuch, and it seemed that the beating was not light."

"Yeah." I nodded, "It is said that the little eunuch accidentally stepped on the cat and killed that precious cat. Actually, it is not true. I saw with my own eyes that Yu Lan also liked that cat. He wanted to hug it, but the cat scratched the back of his hand, and then he trampled the cat to death.

He is a living person, but he has trouble with a cat. If he kills the cat, he is afraid of offending Qingsu, and he is also afraid of his father's punishment. Don't dare to act, it's boring. "

Wen Zhan didn't speak.

I was holding the teapot with my back to the stage, and I seemed to be listening to the opera with my legs crossed, but what I was thinking in my heart had nothing to do with the excerpt opera.

...The sharp weapon of the country cannot be shown to others...

I always feel that there is something in what Yulan said.

What sharp weapon does he have in his hand that he hasn't shown?

I only have seven days to find out who my mother has offended.Otherwise, the things that Cui Bicheng relied on to save his life would be exchanged for my mother's future.

How could such a thing prove that my mother was not a chick when she entered the palace.

If she is not a young child, why doesn't my father care?

Or, at that time, my father was so drunk that he didn't know anything?

But even if he didn't know anything at that time, someone should have told him later.

No, you can't follow their way of thinking.

However, my mother would be wronged if she changed to another route.

Who can wrong her?

Wasn't she just a palace slave who was bought into the palace with red cloth by the eunuch?

She doesn't even have the qualifications to serve her bed, so who is going to be jealous of her and entrap her?

What kind of muddled account is this?

Suddenly my head was as big as a bucket.
