Qi Yuanxiu · Self-cultivation

Yongzhou Zhenyuan Mansion

"Elder-in-law, please drink tea." In the main hall of the Yu family in Zhenyuan, a young woman dressed in peach-colored brocade knelt on the ground. The young woman had a wonderful face, even if she was a fairy. With a heroic spirit, impartial, neither humble nor overbearing, people like it more and more. The young woman is holding a cup of steaming tea in her hand.The people who served the tea were naturally Yu Xiaoqing and his wife who were sitting in the upper seat.

General Yu, who had been a soldier for half his life, changed the cow drink in the barracks, took a sip, closed the tea lid, and said with a smile, "Thanks for your hard work, Princess Concubine."

"A matter of duty."

General Yu greedily took another sip of tea: "Han Qiu Han Qiu, well-deserved reputation, I can't drink any more, if I drink any more, I'll be drunk." He told the boy next to him to clean up.

Madam Yu said angrily: "The general wants to drink tea, but the mansion can't afford it, or does the general prefer things from fish and geese?"

It's too much to say this in front of the concubine, but the merchant's daughter from Yuyan didn't feel unnatural at all. Ms. Han continued the words calmly: "Mother-in-law is serious. Although tea is good, how can it compare For those who live in their own house, since the daughter-in-law has already entered the house, she is naturally from the Zhenyuan Mansion, and if there is anything wrong in the future, I ask mother-in-law to advise me."

These words are too perfect, Mrs. Yu didn't mean that at first, hearing this new daughter-in-law's sharp teeth, she felt a burst of anger in her heart, hum!Exactly the same as her mother!In addition to what my master did just now, I felt very uncomfortable. Fortunately, this new daughter-in-law did not marry my son, but the sick man in the backyard!That sick child should not be able to survive this winter, so I will ask this Miss Han to be a widow when the time comes!

The servants standing next to him have long been accustomed to this incident, and it has not been a day or two since the master and his wife have been at odds, but they are pitiful for this innocent Miss Han. Sure enough, she looks like a fairy. The only fly in the ointment is that her voice is a little thick and she looks too tall.

"Get up," said Yu Xiaoqing, who was already used to the Yu family.

At this time, Han Pei turned his face upright, and Yu Xiaoqing who was mentally prepared couldn't help but marvel, she was so similar to her mother!

"Could father be dissatisfied with his wife?" Han Pei smiled.

When Yu Xiaoqing was reminded, she also realized that she had lost her composure, so she quickly shook her head and said, "How is your mother?"

"My mother is very nice, but she cried badly on the day she got married."

"Hey."

"My mother is naturally the most reluctant to let her daughter get married, but she also said that after she gets married, she has to take good care of her husband and in-laws."

"My mother-in-law is really good at talking, and I will wrong you in the future."

"No matter where, if you marry into the Yu family, you are a member of the Yu family, and you must put the overall situation first." Han Pei still frowned, and replied softly.

"It's so decent. I got a good daughter-in-law in Zhenyuan Mansion. I'm really thankful to your parents." Yu Xiaoqing was very relieved. After thinking about some things, she asked, "Your Majesty is still the same?"

This sentence was an interrogative sentence, but General Yu used an affirmative tone.

This son is called Yu Guanyue.

Although the servants were told to be familiar with this name, they still couldn't help being shocked when they heard the name. Perhaps even Wang Jian didn't expect that the current Prince Zhenyuan is no longer the eldest son Yu Guanli, but the eldest son Yu Guanyue. It is really unaccustomed for a master who has served for decades to suddenly become an unknown son.

"I've gotten better in the past few days, and I haven't had a cough."

"Thanks a lot."

Just as he was speaking, the servant pushed Guan Yue Shizi over.

The eldest son, Yu Guanyue, is not a concubine. His mother is relatively humble, a slave. It is said that she is also ugly. She vowed to pick up girls from the battlefield with the general and release them. She is a barbarian.

When Yu Xiaoqing brought the mother and son back to Yongzhou, the old lady was directly pissed off. The Zhenyuan Mansion did not recognize the mother and the son. For some reason, a woman and a child came, and the servants also looked down on them. Being suppressed by the family, not many people know about it, but the slave mother and son still stayed.

Yu Guanyue's mother is called Xi Shinu, and the irony is that his mother is not good-looking. When Xi Shinu entered the mansion, the master's family treated her as a human being, but the servants did not treat her as a human being. Yu Xiaoqing was stationed at the border The poor mother and son were so cold-eyed by the people of Yongzhou that they didn't come back once a year or so. Finally, Xi Shinu passed away. I was rewarded with a broken straw mat, and my servants carried it out of the house, and didn't even set up a grave.

Poor young man Guanyue, he was irritated when he was in his mother's womb, and the root cause of the disease fell. His mother died, and he was alone. His servants bullied him, and the adults just closed their eyes. He was so weak that he could sweat for a while. .Finally one day, General Yu remembered that he still had such a son, Siji felt very sorry for his mother and son, and treated the eldest son much better in recent years.

"I have seen my father."

"How are you?"

"Better."

In a routine conversation, Yu Guanyue doesn't look like Xi Shinu, but she doesn't look like Yu Xiaoqing either. Standing with the concubine, she compares this concubine abruptly. Her skin is fairer than snow, and she is seriously ill, but Added an ethereal temperament, making people feel pity.Ever since he replaced his younger brother Yu Guanli and became the eldest son, and married Han Pei, his health has been poor. He and Han Pei are a couple in name, but there is no reality of husband and wife.Now I hang it with Siwutang every day, but it has improved somewhat.

The crown prince bowed and saluted Yu Guanyue.

"I'm sorry to trouble you," although it was an expedient measure, but Yu Guanyue felt sorry for letting such a beautiful young woman follow a useless person like herself.Anyone with a discerning eye knows that being the heir is just an expedient measure. The heir of the hereditary General Zhenyuan should be Yu Guanli, the eldest son. That time when the eldest son fled from the marriage, all kinds of scoundrels had no choice but to make themselves stand up for his younger brother, and made such a bad plan.

When it comes to letting yourself be the son of the world, no one understands the meaning better than the eldest son Yu Guanyue. They are both sons. People wink and live, and they pity themselves for dragging a sick body for 24 years, how hard it is to be tired physically and mentally.The Zhenyuan Mansion gave him life, and he has nothing to repay, so let's use this life to repay the Zhenyuan Mansion.I hope my brother will come back soon and be freed soon.

"Your Majesty is serious, so there is no need for trouble." Han Pei was more educated and reasonable than he imagined. His in-law's family changed his mind temporarily, and he was married to his frail eldest son. This is not an insult in disguise.

Under the calm sea, how many twists and turns are there?

Wang Jian is very annoying now.

Not because of Shan Xuechen.

But because there is no money.

After a few days of understanding, I discovered that the Jinyang Mansion is actually an empty shell.

Ji Xiu completely disappeared in front of everyone.

Stayed in the ancestral hall for the whole night.

"Han Dexia gave all his daughters to Yongzhou, and he doesn't even mind his son-in-law running away. Obviously, he intends to rely on the troops of Zhenyuan Mansion. In this way, the part west of Yinshui will basically become one piece." He Min drew on the map A circle, "Here, here, and here, it will not be so easy for our people to go there in the future."

"The above is Xinzhou. Xinzhou is independent. Everyone knows that Xinzhou is geographically awkward. It borders Tartars, Yongzhou, Yuyan, Jinyang and Northern Dynasties. It doesn't matter. It is also the default buffer zone. Tartars Doing business with people from the Central Plains in Xinzhou, there are many Tartars living in Xinzhou."

"Yuyan people have been merchants since ancient times. There may only be business interests between Yuyan and Tartars. Some time ago, a certain wizard in the Tarzi tribe made a fortune telling. , making a comeback." He Min stopped.

"I'm afraid it's not God's will, I'm afraid it's the will of a certain prince," said Liu Daxia, that is, accountant Mr. Liu.

He Min smiled slightly, and continued: "Who says it's not? The meaning over there is that they wish there would be more chaos here, so that the palace can be made to sweat profusely after taking advantage of the fire."

"It's really deceiving me that there is no one in the Central Plains."

"It was supposed to be empty."

"This forced Han Dexia's businessman to follow Zhenyuan Mansion," He Min gave Ji Xiu a meaningful look at this point.

If we marry Hanzhong, we can also solve this matter. He still didn't say it.

Ji Xiu didn't speak.

"Does the priest have a solution?" Ji Xiu asked.

Wang Jian shook his head, "It's too difficult."

There are many problems, how to start?

Both He Min and him understand that all of today's events are not formed by accident, just like a tangle of fishing lines that cannot be pulled apart. At first glance, there is only one reason, but in reality the root is complicated.

Ji Xiu, who had been silent all this time, said, "My lord, Mr. Liu, there was a letter from the Liu family in Hanzhong the day before yesterday. Please go get it."

He Min and Liu Daxia glanced at each other, but went out anyway.

When He Min and Liu Daxia walked away, Wang Jian tilted his neck, with a half-smile: "My lord, what does this mean?"

"Means nothing."

"That must be interesting."

Ji Xiu smiled, "Mr. said it was difficult just now. Since he said it was difficult, it seems that there is still a way to solve it."

Wang Jian was silent.

"Let's talk about it, the Taoist priest. You can only know how difficult it is if you try it."

"Since you know the answer, why are you still asking me?"

Ji Xiu smiled and remained silent.

Wang Jian sighed, "Deliberately dismiss He and your lord today, I'm afraid the prince premeditated."

Ji Xiu remained silent.

"I can be this bad guy, but I have one more thing to ask the lord." Wang Jian cupped his fists, "Please let the lord let the foolish brother go."

Ji Xiu's face suddenly turned cold: "Did I treat him badly these days?"

"Don't dare to say," Wang remonstrated, "I poured out all the medicine you sent me."

Ji Xiu smiled, "How do you know whether I am saving him or killing him?"

"I don't want to guess."

Time almost stood still, Ji Xiu seemed to be a sculpture,

"The suspect doesn't need to, I can kill both of you directly."

Wang Jian lowered his head and didn't speak. On the question about Shan Xuechen, Wang Jian knew that he had won again, and it took a bit of effort to play against someone like Ji Xiu.Ji Xiu is a person who can't see the end at a glance, it's really scary.

When He Min came back, the matter had already been discussed. When Wang Jian went out, he made a bow to the adult in the matter, and left without saying a word.Of course He Min didn't know what happened during this period. When he returned to the ancestral hall, the incense had already smelt from the censer.

He Min joked: "Master Wang's complexion is not very good."

"Ah."

"About Young Master Bai?"

Ji Xiu didn't answer, it was his default.

The answer he got was similar to what he thought, He Min said: "That's no wonder."

"Judging from your tone, you also think I shouldn't pursue it?"

"Hard to say."

"Tell me, we grew up together when we were young. I still understand your thoughts."

"Master Bai is not a bad person."

"Then who am I?"

He Min felt that he had lost his word, so he said more firmly: "There must be something strange in this, why not let this person look extraordinary, there are many doubts, why not keep this person, stay in the mansion and observe slowly."

Ji Xiu didn't make a sound, and after a long time, Fang said: "I remember that this is the first time you knelt down."

What Ji Xiu said was of course what happened last time.

He Min was dumbfounded.

"Who the hell is he? Have you all been poisoned by him? Why do you all speak for him? What kind of benefits does he give you? That Wang Jian doesn't look like that wimpy brother at first glance, but he protects him in every possible way. , Sometimes even at the expense of your life, and you, you just met him, but you knelt down to plead for him, don't you want to be the number one official in the world who only kneels to the emperor's parents? Who is he?"

He Min lowered his head and didn't say a word.

"Wang Jian must know the details of this person, but I don't even know about Wang Jian."

"You don't know, I sneaked into that person's room countless times, trying to kill him."

"This erratic feeling is what disgusts me the most."

"If he finds out that my surname is not Ji, but Qi—"

Hearing this, He Min interrupted him: "My lord, you think too much."

"How can I not think too much?" Ji Xiu smiled wryly, "I have been planning so hard for so many years, how can I let an outsider destroy my plan."

"If he knows I'll kill him."

"Would you kill someone?" Ji Xiu sneered, "Or will you be killed?"

What he said was a bit interesting, and He Min didn't answer immediately.Whether it is killing or being killed, it is nothing more than a kind of extinction of life, which can be big or small, accompanied by unknown fear and ambition. In the eyes of outsiders, the essence of this matter can be summed up in two words-desire.Ji Xiu has never been killed, but he has killed many people. This King of Jinyang is called the King of Hades, ambition, aloofness, gloomy, calculating, all the characteristics of a bully are gathered in this prince, and Min The number one official in the world, who has set his heart for the world, for the living and the people, for the sake of the sages, and for the peace of the world, has devoted himself to helping this King of Hades. I am afraid that this is also a kind of good luck.

Jinyang Prefecture is subordinate to the continents of Tiaohua, Yuanzhi, and Jiumi, and the Daotai yamen of each continent are under the direct jurisdiction of Jinyang Prefecture. There are 110 and six counties and platforms scattered under it. It is the site of Jinyang Wang Ji's family. Ji's family is the founder of the country. It was given such a piece of land by the great ancestor. The original prince had garrisons. It is a disdainful place, but what more people don't know is that with the dilution of the regime, the prestige of the Jinyang Palace has long since declined. Jinyang's political power has been manipulated by a group of old ministers. Half of Yang's industry, military, and some right general Bo Fengting, all have nothing to do with Xinyang King, this Jinyang, Jinyang King is a famous prince.

The Tiaohua Ju family and the Shan family of Jinzhou have become a family of hundreds of generations. The age of the Ju family is no shorter than that of the Shan family. In history, there have been five prime ministers, six Zhongshu Ling, four censors, and even more junior county officials below. Countless.The prosperity of the Shan family depends on industry, while the prosperity of the Ju family depends on politics.

During the implication of the Dongyang case, the Ju family also recruited many disciples, and was implicated, and their vitality was greatly injured. At that time, the old King Jin was soft-hearted and did not completely uproot the family, so the Ju family sent a proton here in Jinyang to repay Jinyang.

The proton, who is known as the third son of the Ju family, is from a branch of the Ju family. He was sent to Jinyang by the family as a proton since he was a child. He sent a few servants to wait on him, and he would call every now and then to ask for his health, but he didn't send anyone to guard him. When the child grew up, he didn't want to run away. He said that he specially spoke some popular scripts, and a large number of white men came to listen to them every day. They didn't make much money, but they were well-off enough.

Of course, you can't use the reputation of Ju's family by setting up a stall to make face.

Standing in front of the Lai Lai Zhai with Min, it was late at this time, and it was dusk on the western mountain, and those who listened to books had left scatteredly, and only the owner of the bookstall was closing the stall. Seeing him coming, he cupped his hands and said: "Today's event It's gone, please come back tomorrow."

He Min sighed, "A Zhi."

"I'm flattered by the lord in the matter," Ju Mingzhi weighed the purse, "The tax money from last month has already been sent to the yamen, if there is nothing else, please return it to the lord in the matter!".

"Azhi!" He Min really couldn't do anything about him, seeing that he was about to leave, he stretched out his hand to pull his sleeve in desperation, Ju Mingzhi subconsciously waved his hand and slashed at him, causing Master He to cry out in pain.

A flash of embarrassment flashed across Ju Mingzhi's face, but he turned his head immediately, "I'm sorry to disturb the fun with your lord, just treat me as a storyteller who doesn't understand the rules, my lord, don't go to Take it to heart, there are tens of thousands of people in Jinyang Mansion, sir, don't be as knowledgeable as a pariah like me, Haihan!"

He Min felt bad about everything.

The two of them have been playmates since they were young, and He Min is a descendant of Yu Yanhe's family. After such a big incident happened to Yu Yan before, his parents took her and fled to Jinyang, and the old King Jin also placed him in the west of the city. , and Ju Mingzhi happened to be neighbors.

The difference is that there are family members next to He Min, but there is nothing around Ju Mingzhi. That's how it is. When a group of older children bullied a younger child, He Min and the adults made a heroic move and rescued the weak child. .

"Why do you always fight with them?" The young man He Min looked at this brat, who was thin and small, but had cat-like light brown eyes.

The author has something to say:
