Heavenly Seven Dragons
Chapter 126 Returning Home and Confessing
Yong Rong didn't let anyone inform, but walked in directly, he wanted to surprise his brother.
Although he hasn't come to Xunjun Prince's Mansion for many years, the stewards and servants of the Prince's Mansion still know him, so they don't pay much attention to his behavior.
What's more, with his identity, there will be no such inconspicuous people who would dare to stop him.
Pushing open the door of the study, Yong Rong immediately saw Yong Zhang who was sitting by the window with his head down reading a book, he couldn't hide the joy in his heart, walked over quickly and said, "Third brother!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Yongzhang was slightly stunned, then quickly raised his head, looking at the person standing in front of him, his heart was also filled with great joy, whenever the book in his hand fell to the ground, he would have no idea.
"Sixth brother, you... you are back."
"Third Brother, I'm back." Yong Rong bent down to pick up the dropped book, and then sat beside Yong Zhang.
After several years of tempering, his temperament has become much calmer. After experiencing the initial excitement and joy, his mood quickly calmed down.
He looked at Yongzhang carefully, and found that although Yongzhang still looked a little thin and thin, but his complexion was rosy, his eyes were full of energy, and he could hardly see any signs of illness. His heart was immediately relieved.
What he was most worried about when he was at the border was his brother's health. Now it seems that Huang Ama took good care of his brother, which made him unable to help but have some other thoughts.
Yongzhang didn't see his younger brother's thoughts, and was blindly immersed in the joy of reunion after a long absence, especially seeing his younger brother become so mature and stable, and his body has obviously become much stronger. As an older brother, he is really gratified.
"Sixth brother, will you not leave this time when you return to Beijing?"
Hearing his brother's question, Yong Rong came back to his senses, and scratched his head a little tangled: "Third brother, actually... I don't want to stay in the capital..."
"Oh?" Although Yongzhang was a little surprised, he didn't feel surprised. He thought he understood his younger brother's temperament very well.
The water in the capital city is too deep, so it is not suitable for Yong Rong, and he will definitely not want to return him to this huge cage after he has been in the border fields for so many years.
"Then have you ever thought about how to tell Huang Ama? You must know that you are an elder brother, and there is nothing wrong with staying in the capital."
"I know, but I believe Huang Ama won't embarrass me, besides, there is an eighth brother." Yong Rong smiled, looking not worried at all.
In fact, before he came back, he was still very apprehensive, but after meeting Yongzhang, he completely understood some things, and at the same time, he was confident that he could convince Huang Ama, but what really made him feel uncertain was another matter.
When Yongzhang heard him mention Yongxuan, the worries in his heart dissipated a lot.
Although he hasn't seen Huang Ama many times in the past few years, he can see that Huang Ama really likes Yongxuan. As long as there is nothing too embarrassing, Huang Ama will basically follow Yongxuan. of.
So as long as Yongxuan is willing to speak for Yongrong, this matter should not be a big problem.
Yongrong didn't say much about this matter, instead he chatted with Yongzhang about family affairs. They haven't seen each other for many years and they still have a lot to talk about.
It's just that he found that his brother didn't seem to know about the matter between him and Fu Ling'an, so he hesitated for a while, but he still didn't say it. After all, this is not something that can be put on the table, and he doesn't want his brother to worry about him anymore.
Compared with Yongrong, Fu Ling'an's side didn't go so smoothly. Not long after he arrived home, Fu Heng came back, and immediately called him to the study to give a lecture.
Looking at Fukang'an's sympathetic eyes mixed with support and encouragement, he couldn't help but took a deep breath, and walked into Ama's study in a nervous mood, with a heroic look.
After all, "It's a blessing, not a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided." Some things need to be said sooner or later, so it's better to be quicker, so as not to hurt others.
Fu Heng looked seriously at his eldest son, whom he hadn't seen for many years. The scene at the gate of the city was still vivid in his memory as if it were yesterday.
As a father, he was still somewhat dissatisfied with his eldest son, but as a subject, he could also understand Fu Ling'an's original choice, so he didn't blame Fu Ling'an for this matter.
It's just that he never expected that the eldest son, who has always been loyal to the emperor, would have a secret love affair with the sixth elder brother.
If it wasn't for the relationship between Fukang'an and the eighth elder brother, he would have known about it a long time ago, and he had tried to suppress it, so that no one with a heart could poke it out, otherwise, he didn't know what would happen. What are the consequences.
Fu Ling'an looked at Ama, who had gray temples and a vicissitudes of life, and felt deep guilt and intolerance in his heart. He knelt down straight on the ground with his knees bent: "Ama...the child is not filial..."
"You... hey...", Fu Heng originally wanted to say something, but when he saw his elder son kneeling on the ground with a guilty expression on his face, he couldn't say anything.
Poor parents all over the world, how can there be parents who don't love their children, let alone such an excellent son, Fu Ling'an is absolutely indispensable for the Fucha family to have today's status.
After being silent for a long time, Fu Heng asked: "Ama doesn't blame you for what happened before. As a subject, your choice is understandable. But the matter between you and the sixth elder brother is definitely not your subject. Is it time to do something?"
"I understand all of this. I know this matter will embarrass you and the Fucha family. No matter how you deal with it, I have nothing to say." Fu Ling'an looked at Fu Heng sincerely, but slowly After calming down, he didn't hide anything in front of his father, and said what was in his heart: "Ama, Yong Rong and I are in love with each other. No matter what choice he makes, I will guard him for the rest of my life."
Knowing Fu Ling'an's personality, he had already guessed the result, but after hearing Fu Ling'an's own words, Fu Heng couldn't help but feel a surge of anger, as well as a touch of sadness and sorrow. Can't bear it.
He knows how difficult this road is. As a father, he certainly hopes that his son will live a happy life and have a perfect and warm family, but now, it is obvious that there is no way to realize this wish.
If he forced Fu Ling'an to marry, the final result would only be to force his son away, and he would not be able to see each other for the rest of his life.
Seeing Ama's anger, Fu Ling'an hurriedly kneeled to his lap, picked up the herbal tea on the table and handed it over: "Ama, it's my son's fault anyway, don't get mad because of me. "
Seeing Fu Ling'an's expression of concern and worry, Fu Heng's anger subsided quite a bit, but he still said with a cold face: "Since you know you're wrong, go kneel in the ancestral hall and reflect on yourself!"
Fu Ling'an was overjoyed when he heard the words. He understood that since Ama said this, he initially accepted his choice. As for the following things, he can take his time. He believes that Ama will forgive him one day his.
At least Ama still recognizes his son, which is already the best result.
So he got up obediently without any complaints, looked at his father again, and went to the ancestral hall to kneel down and reflect.
Looking at Fu Ling'an's tall and straight back, Fu Heng couldn't help but sighed slightly. It's not that he didn't think about persuading Fu Ling'an, using reason to move him with affection, so that Fu Ling'an would change his mind.
But he understands that this method may be useful to others, but it is useless to his stubborn and stubborn eldest son, otherwise he would not have watched him leave helplessly.
Rubbed the swollen and painful temples, since he accepted this matter, he, as a father, naturally has to plan for his son and help his son wipe his ass. After all, the other party is the sixth elder brother. things.
Fu Kang'an, who had been eavesdropping outside the window, was relieved at this time, as long as he passed the level of Ama, it would be easy. As for the emperor's intentions, he had already heard the wind from Yongxuan.
The emperor will never support it on the public face, and maybe he will punish him slightly, but he will not object in private. After all, everyone in Aixinjueluo's family is infatuated, and the emperor doesn't want to be that bad guy, and finally make trouble. Father and son disagree.
Besides, Yongxuan was beside him helping Sixth Brother to speak, Sixth Brother would definitely not have any serious problems this time, and Fu Ling'an would naturally not be implicated.
With no worries in his heart, Fukang'an hummed a little song and went to the kitchen, asking the cook to make some exquisite snacks and side dishes so that he could send them to his elder brother.
The eldest brother just came back today, and before he had time to rest, he had to go to the ancestral hall to kneel for punishment. If he didn't eat well, even his iron body couldn't bear it.
Furthermore, he hasn't seen him for many years, and he hasn't had the chance to have a deep talk with his elder brother. Now that he has such a good opportunity, he certainly won't let it go.
When the cook was preparing to eat, Fu Kang'an also took the time to write a letter to Yongxuan to report the situation. After all, it was related to his elder brother, so he couldn't help but care about it.
Moreover, he heard that the emperor will return to the capital in a few days, and many things should be prepared in advance, so that it is safe to be prepared, so as not to cause unexpected problems when the time comes.
Using carrier pigeons to send the letters away, Fukang'an told the servants not to talk too much, and then went straight to the ancestral hall with the food box and a few jars of good wine sent by the cook.
He probably won't be back until very late, so it's necessary to remind him, lest there be any gossip and make it difficult for his parents.
☆, Episode 127: Plum Blossom ([-])
Longyuanlou is one of the famous restaurants in the capital city. It is a place for wealthy businessmen to treat guests to banquets. Occasionally, members of the royal family will come here. Therefore, the guests here come and go very neatly, unlike ordinary small restaurants.
On weekdays, the boss will also arrange some famous theatrical troupes or storytelling, which can not only enliven the atmosphere of the restaurant, but also earn some money.
It's just that the person performing on stage today is a woman. It stands to reason that this kind of person is not qualified to perform here. However, that delicate-looking woman begged the boss for a long time, and she was very kind to accompany her to eat Wine, the boss reluctantly agreed.
Not long after, a girl who was about seventeen or eight years old walked up to the stage with a pipa in her arms. After she was seated, she adjusted the strings a few times.
An old man also came up with a huqin, sat down not far behind her, and lowered his head without saying a word, so that people could not see his appearance clearly.
This girl is Bai Yinshuang, and the old man is naturally his adoptive father Bai Shengling.
In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Bai Shengling didn't want to come here to perform. He knew exactly where Longyuan Tower was, and ordinary people like them couldn't afford it.
However, Bai Yinshuang was very stubborn, she wanted to come to Longyuan Building to sing for everything, and her rhetoric was high-sounding: "The rewards here are much more than those outside."
As the adoptive father who has raised her up to now, how could Bai Shengling not guess what Bai Yinshuang was thinking? She didn't want to reward her for anything, she simply wanted to take the opportunity to get to know some businessmen and dignitaries, so that she could climb high branches with her beauty and get rid of this situation in one fell swoop. A life of poverty.
Her adoptive father tried to persuade her many times, but she just didn't listen, and secretly went to beg the boss of Longyuan Building. Although she didn't know what method she used to get the boss to agree to her request, no matter how she thought about it, it would not be a legitimate means . (My ancient servant)
Bai Shengling was extremely disappointed with his adopted daughter. If it wasn't because of his kind heart and his father-daughter relationship with Bai Yinshuang for so many years, he would have gone back to his hometown with his burden alone.
Because he really felt so ashamed that he couldn't lift his head up and lose this person.
At this moment, Bai Yinshuang didn't have the heart to worry about her adoptive father's thoughts. Although her adoptive father was kind to her in nurturing her, she didn't want to live in such a life where she was hungry and full and couldn't see tomorrow at all. .
Since she was a child, she found that her appearance was much better than that of ordinary women. After she came to the capital, she specially observed those Fujin and Miss from rich families. In contrast, she was quite confident in her appearance. She believed that as long as she Being able to get acquainted with high officials and dignitaries, with her beauty and means, she will definitely be able to marry into a high family compound and live a good life, even if she is someone else's concubine, it doesn't matter. (Genius evil less)
After the song was sung, Bai Yinshuang stood up in the midst of applause, holding a tray in her hand, and begged for rewards during the banquet, but the guests were not enthusiastic, and only a few copper coins fell into the tray one after another.
But she didn't care, but kept thanking the rewarding guests while showing a delicacy like water, secretly observing the dignitaries present.
Bai Yinshuang's plan was not in vain. When he reached the corner of the stairs, a man put a silver ingot into the tray.
She was slightly startled in her heart, and then filled with joy. She raised her head and tried to show the softness of Jiangnan women. She looked at this handsome man with grateful eyes, and her words were seductive without a trace.
But before she could say a few words to the man, she was interrupted by a gangster.
However, the next development completely exceeded Bai Yinshuang's expectations. The two men actually fought because of their verbal discord. Although she deliberately provoked it, she did not expect that they would actually fight.
The scene was chaotic, she deliberately showed a look of shock, but she was thinking about how to get out, after all, that man was really useless, he couldn't even beat a small boss, it was really disappoint others.
But Bai Yinshuang never expected that her adoptive father would be affected by the wrestling men, hit the corner of the table and passed out. Although she didn't want to care about it, she still acted like a filial daughter and hugged him Touched the brat's leg and made him stop.
At this time, the owner of the restaurant also called many people to control the situation.
Although the boss didn't ask them to pay compensation, he also drove them out with a bad face, and the man who gave him the reward disappeared.
Bai Yinshuang had no choice but to borrow a small cart and take his adoptive father back to their temporary hut.
As for asking a doctor to see a doctor for her adoptive father, she never thought about it. If she spent all the money on a doctor, she might not even be able to pay the rent next month, and she would be kicked out by the landlord. She didn't want to live on the streets .
As a result, Bai Shengling failed that night and left before dawn.
Although Bai Yinshuang was a little sad, she didn't shed a single tear. Although she was unwilling in every way, she still sold the coffin and filial piety clothes, prepared to guard the spirit for three days, and then buried her adoptive father in peace.
Moreover, she went to Longyuan Tower on purpose, taking advantage of her adoptive father's passing away, to beg the boss for mercy so that he would continue to sing here so that he would not end up living on the streets.
Because she was wearing filial piety clothes, she cried loudly on purpose, which attracted a lot of onlookers. Although the boss was very helpless and annoyed, in order not to affect the reputation of the restaurant, he reluctantly agreed.
This time, Bai Yinshuang just wanted to find a temporary means of earning a living for herself, but she didn't expect to attract the man she met that day.
After coming and going, they gradually became acquainted. She knew that the man's name was Fucha Haozhen, he was the eldest son of Prince Shuo's mansion, and he was the only male in this generation's family.
Although she looked down on Hao Zhen a bit, in order to be able to leave this slum, she still tried her best to seduce him with her beauty.
Sure enough, Haozhen was also a no-brainer, and was soon bewildered by Bai Yinshuang. Within a few days, he found someone to arrange a courtyard and took Bai Yinshuang there.
The house was not big, there were only eight rooms in total, and the doors and windows seemed a bit dilapidated, but he couldn't find a more suitable and better house for a while. Although he was not very satisfied, he had to make do with it.
But Bai Yinshuang showed a grateful look, saying that she didn't care at all, as long as she had a place to live, Haozhen felt that she was so kind and pure, and he was even more devoted to her.
The next day, he also asked Xiao Kouzi's third aunt, Changma, to move in to take care of Yinshuang; two days later, Changma brought in Xiangqi to serve Yinshuang together.
In just a few days, Bai Yinshuang transformed from a singing singer to a young lady who was served by others.
☆, Episode 128: Plum Blossom Roasting ([-])
For a period of time after that, Bai Yinshuang really lived a good life for a few days. She had someone else to take care of her, and she didn't have to worry about making a living. She finally had enough money to buy some rouge and gouache.
Hao Zhen would come to sit in the courtyard almost every day, listen to Bai Yinshuang playing the piano, and occasionally have a few drinks with each other, not to mention how comfortable the childhood was.
But Bai Yinshuang not only wants this kind of life, because this kind of life seems to be carefree, but in fact there is no guarantee at all, the name is not right, if Haozhen gets bored, he can drive her away at any time, Let her live on the streets again.
So that night, while drinking and admiring the moon with Haozhen, Bai Yinshuang solemnly said that he wanted to "repay" Haozhen: "My lord, you have done me a favor again, so I have to repay such a kindness. I I want to follow you back to the mansion to be a servant girl, and I will work hard from now on and serve you for the rest of my life!"
"No!" Akdan, Haozhen's guard next to him, blurted out: "You can't enter the house!"
Bai Yinshuang was startled, Haozhen hastily said: "The money to bury your father is purely to help others, if you think I'm just greedy for your return, you'll look down on me!"
Bai Yinshuang remained silent, looking at Haozhen in a daze on the surface, as if she didn't understand what he said.
Xiao Kouzi saw her puzzled look, so he explained: "First, our palace has strict rules, we don't just go in casually. Second, Lord Baylor slipped out of the study and went to Longyuan Building for a drink. The matter of fighting must never be known to the lord, it must be kept a secret. Thirdly, you are dressed in filial piety, wearing it into the door is a taboo, and it is unreasonable for you to remove it... So, entering the mansion is difficult, difficult, difficult! "
"Then..." Bai Yinshuang looked at Hao Zhen in a hurry: "What should I do? I have no relatives, no reasons, and nowhere to go. If my son... no, Lord Baylor wants me to fend for myself, I would rather obey orders... ...that, that..."
She bit her lip, her eyes were filled with tears, and her heart had already turned back and forth, "Then... I will bid farewell to young master and go by myself!" She was about to kneel down.
Hao Zhen supported her: "Where are you going?"
"A pipa, a yueqin, and a huqin left by my father, wandering all over the world."
"No!" Hao Zhen was hotheaded and excited, at this moment he couldn't let go of Yin Shuang: "I can't let you go like this! I 'can't' let you go like this!"
After some "touching" mutual complaints, Bai Yinshuang's desire to enter the mansion was put on hold for the time being.
Haozhen still comes here every now and then, talking about the palace, Haoxiang, the prince and Fujin, talking about thoughts, opinions, and life...
Yinshuang also talked about herself, how she traveled the world with her parents since she was a child, how she endured many hardships, how she lost her mother at the age of ten, and lived with her father. She knows how to capture a man's heart.
By chance, Bai Yinshuang noticed Yu Pei on Haozhen's waist and the fox fur tassels under Yu Pei. She felt very strange because she had never seen tassels made of fox fur.
Hao Zhen untied Yu Pei, let her play with it, and told her the story of "catching the white fox and releasing the white fox".
While listening, she looked at Hao Zhen with admiring and moved eyes. After listening, she still held Yu Pei and meditated for a long time.
"What are you thinking?" Seeing that she was silent during the day, Hao Zhen asked.
"Thinking of that white fox, thinking of the scene at the beginning, that fox, looking back three times before leaving, must be full of gratitude to you, I can't say it!" Bai Yinshuang looked up at Hao Zhen: "This white fox Mao, can you give me half of it?"
"You want this tassel?" Hao Zhen asked in surprise, "What do you want tassels for?"
"Don't ask..." Bai Yinshuang smiled, holding the clump of fox fur cherishingly: "I just want some fox fur."
"Okay." Hao Zhen also smiled and said, "But it's quite troublesome to take it apart, even put the jade pei here with you, and return it to me when you come next time."
After Haozhen left, Bai Yinshuang took apart the fox fur and embroidered a silk screen with the wool. Naturally, she did this to aggravate her position in Haozhen's heart and create more opportunities for her to enter the house. Chance.
After a few days of hard work, Bai Yinshuang took Xiangqi out to the framed bookstore, asking the boss to help frame it.
The boss took a look at the embroidery and heard that she wanted to mount a silk screen, so he immediately rejected it, because making a silk screen is very troublesome, does not make much money, and is very time-consuming, which is not cost-effective at all.
Bai Yinshuang bit her lower lip, and when she was debating whether to change the store, she saw a handsome man walking in.
As soon as she rolled her eyes, she immediately showed a look of crying. While begging the boss bitterly, she touched the screen without a trace and made a lot of noise.
Hearing the woman's weeping and noise, the man couldn't help but come over to find out. When he saw Bai Yinshuang, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't look away.
Bai Yinshuang carefully looked at the man from the corner of his eye, no matter in temperament or clothing, he was on par with Hao Zhen.
She had originally looked down on Hao Zhen, but now that she saw a man who was interested in her and seemed to have a good fortune, her mind naturally became active.
Bai Yinshuang begged the boss earnestly, saying that this silk screen was given to her benefactor, and told a lot about her miserable life experience. She didn't care if she could impress the boss, as long as she could impress the men around her.
Sure enough, the man was very moved when he heard it, and he said to the boss: "Boss, this woman is so kind and righteous, you can help her frame it, and I will pay you double the price."
The boss was only open for business, and when he saw that he had made money, his face naturally eased, and he agreed to help Bai Yinshuang mount the screen.
Bai Yinshuang took this opportunity to thank the man a thousand times, and during the conversation, he told each other's names. It turned out that this man was Fu Erkang, the eldest son of the Fu family.
It took three days for the silk screen to be picked up, so after saying thank you, Bai Yinshuang took Xiangqi and left the Mounted Bookstore, but when she was going out, she deliberately turned her head to look at Fu Erkang, showing a faint smile. smile.
Vulkang was stunned for a moment, but when he came back to his senses, Bai Yinshuang had long since disappeared.
Three days later, Bai Yinshuang went to the framed bookstore to pick up the silk screen in person, and as she expected, she saw Vulkang again, and it seemed that he had been waiting here for a long time.
However, she didn't tell the truth, she just pretended to meet by chance, and after a few polite conversations, she took the silk screen from the boss.
Fulkang naturally saw the finished product of the screen, and couldn't help but praise Bai Yinshuang's good craftsmanship. Obviously, his affection for Bai Yinshuang deepened.
Bai Yinshuang kept being modest, and inadvertently revealed during the chat that she lived in Maoer Hutong in Dongcheng, and then left with a smile on the grounds that it was too late.
However, Bai Yinshuang's luck was not very good, and it started to rain lightly on the way, making both her and Xiangqi drenched.
As soon as she heard that Hao Zhen had been waiting for a long time, she rushed into the hall in a hurry, and didn't have time to put down the things in her hands, or she didn't put down on purpose.
Haozhen stared at Yinshuang who had just entered the door, and saw her hair dripping with water, her face was pale and haggard, his stomach was filled with anxiety and irritability, and at this moment, he was mixed with a spontaneous heartache, which immediately broke out He patted the table heavily: "Which part of this house hasn't been taken care of for you? Tell me!"
Bai Yinshuang was startled, biting her lower lip, looking more aggrieved and weak.
Haozhen yelled like a cannonball: "Eat and clothes, which one did I miss? Even if I missed it, you can ask Chang Ma or Xiangqi to go out to buy it, what are you doing by yourself? ba1aba1aba1a..."
Regarding Hao Zhen's misunderstanding, Bai Yinshuang deliberately did not refute herself, but just said blindly that she knew she was wrong and that she would not do it next time.
She knows that some words are more useful when spoken from other people's mouths, and it is best to retreat to advance.
Sure enough, Xiangqi, who was standing on the side, couldn't bear it anymore, rushed forward to snatch the bundle from Bai Yinshuang's hand, untied it in twos and twos, and put a small round screen into Haozhen's hand. Said hurriedly: "Miss and I went to the bookstore to mount this silk screen! Because the boss thought it was troublesome and refused to mount it, the lady talked to him, and he agreed after begging for a long time, and finally got it back today."
Hao Zhen looked at the silk screen in his hand in surprise, and was suddenly stunned.
There is a white fox on the silk screen, its tail is raised high, and its white fur is shining. While running, it stares back at the other side, its eyes are black and sparkling, full of affection.
Hao Zhen only felt as if his heart had been hit hard by a sledgehammer, because in his opinion, this white fox was just like the one he let go back then, even the fur on his body was lifelike.
He was literally speechless with astonishment.
Xiangqi thought he was surprised by Bai Yinshuang's craftsmanship, so she said hastily: "Ever since Lord Belle left that jade pei, miss has not slept for several nights, haven't you seen that the circles around her eyes have turned black? Are people getting thinner? She used white fox fur, mixed with white silk thread, caught up day and night, and made this silk screen with her own hands, saying that she was going to give it to Lord Belle... Finally finished the silk screen, and rushed to match the frame again ...Miss doesn't even have time to rest, how can there be leisure, go shopping?"
Following Xiangqi's words, Haozhen fell in love with Bai Yinshuang thoroughly, from his words "I don't want to be the queen of the royal family", we can see how much he loves.
Bai Yinshuang also cooperated very well, expressing her love softly.
That night, Haozhen made an exception and did not go back to the mansion, but had a husband and wife affair with Bai Yinshuang in this small courtyard.
Naturally, he saw the "plum blossom brand" on Bai Yinshuang's shoulder, and he only thought it was Yinshuang's birthmark since she was a child, the symbol of the plum blossom fairy.
Bai Yinshuang smiled and did not refute, now she only thought about whether she could conceive Haozhen's child, and then use it as a bargaining chip to marry into the palace.
☆、129 Little Accident[VIP]
I'm thinking...is it time to abdicate...
Yongrong originally planned to stay in Xunjun Wang for a few days, so that he could spend more time with his brother before Huang Ama came back, but the next day he heard a shocking news from Prince He Hongzhou.
"What? Huang Ama was attacked?" Looking at the secret report sent by Hong Zhou himself, Yong Rong stood up immediately.
"Well, the specific situation has not been confirmed yet. This is just an urgent message from the stick." Hongzhou didn't want to make extra troubles at this juncture, so he only notified two people of the matter.
One is Yong Rong, and the other is Fu Ling'an who came back with Yong Rong.
After being shocked, Yong Rong quickly realized the seriousness of this matter and the reason why Hong Zhou came to him. At such a time, the capital would be less likely to cause any trouble.
"I understand. Let Fu Ling'an arrange the army. I will lead people to set off overnight to meet Huang Ama."
Fu Ling'an, who was sitting next to him, nodded, approved of Yongrong's arrangement, and then solemnly assured: "Prince and, with me here, you can rest assured about the army."
Hong Zhou breathed a sigh of relief for the time being. He was most afraid that some dissidents would take the opportunity to cause chaos in the capital. In addition to stabilizing the court, the army is the most important thing to maintain the stability of the capital.
Fortunately, Fu Ling'an is back, and it is definitely reassuring to entrust this matter to him, because of his loyalty to the emperor.
At the same time, Long Yintian had led Yongxuan to separate from the brigade resolutely, disguised himself as a merchant, and sailed northward on a merchant ship by water.
The assassination this time can be said to be completely beyond his expectations. The imperial guards are protecting the surroundings of the emperor, and the local government is also conducting martial law investigations all the way for this reason. Let him have to think too much.
Fortunately, except for a few imperial guards, no one else was injured, but the assassins who disguised themselves as monks all committed suicide after taking poison.
Yongxuan looked at Huang Ama who had been sitting next to her in a trance, and couldn't help but sighed slightly.
The assassination actually shocked him. Fortunately, he has practiced martial arts for many years, and he also practiced internal skills with Huang Ama, so those assassins did not hurt him. Huang Ama is also a strong martial artist, so naturally he is fine. .
It's just that he didn't want Huang Ama to waste his mind and mind because of this matter. He always felt that if he hadn't been too careless, Huang Ama wouldn't have been so worried about him and tired of running around.
Handing the brewed tea to Ama Huang, Yongxuan hesitated and said: "Ama Huang, don't think too much about assassins, I know you can't rub the sand in your eyes, but my son I don't want to see you working so hard."
Hearing the words, Long Yintian came back to his senses, smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to take the teacup: "I'm just thinking about it casually, it's not a day or two to thoroughly investigate this matter, and I can only hand it over after I go back." Go to the sticky pole to investigate secretly, and talk about it after you have some clues."
Yong Xuan nodded, he also understands that it is not appropriate to publicize this matter for the time being, if the assassins are pursued with great fanfare, it is very likely that only a few scapegoats will be caught, but no big fish will be caught.
And even if the culprit is found, it is still a matter of whether it can be investigated and dealt with at that time, so it is better to investigate slowly in secret, and deal with it secretly when necessary.
"But there are indeed a lot of things recently, and I really feel a little tired." Long Yintian reached out and touched Yongxuan's cheek. He is about to grow into a man in charge of his own affairs. He has moved more or less now Thoughts of abdication.
Yongxuan didn't understand why Huang Ama had such a tone, but he still held Huang Ama's hand and said with a smile: "If Huang Ama feels tired, go to the palace to recuperate for a while after returning to Beijing. It's good that Erchen can help you share your worries. Besides, Sixth Brother and Fu Ling'an have also returned from the northeast, so you have nothing to worry about."
"It's not that I'm worried about you." Long Yintian smiled meaningfully, stood up and looked at the scenery of the river through the window of the cabin, and said in a deep tone: "I'm thinking... Is it time to abdicate."
"Huang Ama! Why do you think so?" Yongxuan didn't expect Huang Ama to think so, and immediately stood up and came to his side, subconsciously grabbed his arm, and said eagerly: "You Now that you are still in good health, and the Qing Dynasty is prosperous and thriving, why do you have the thought of abdicating?"
"You've all grown up, why are you still working so hard? Wouldn't it be better to take care of yourself easily?" Long Yintian saw Yongxuan's nervousness and worry, and stretched out his hand to hug him into his arms , stroking his back: "For so many years, the number of times I have been out of the capital can be counted on the fingers. To be honest, I have long been tired of it."
"Huang Ama...", Yongxuan raised her head slightly, staring at Huang Ama's expression, not knowing what to say for a while.
He could hear that Huang Ama's words came from the heart and had absolutely no other purpose, and he also understood that the seat of the emperor is actually not that easy to sit in. Having the supreme right also means shouldering a greater burden. many responsibilities.
For so many years, he has also seen how Huang Ama has done, so it is natural to feel tired and tired.
"Don't worry, I'm just talking. Even if I want to abdicate, it won't be done in a short time. There are many things that I need to arrange carefully." Long Yintian patted Yongxuan's head and calmed him down. A little uneasy in my heart.
Yongxuan nodded after listening, after all, the throne is not a trivial matter, especially the throne
Although he hasn't come to Xunjun Prince's Mansion for many years, the stewards and servants of the Prince's Mansion still know him, so they don't pay much attention to his behavior.
What's more, with his identity, there will be no such inconspicuous people who would dare to stop him.
Pushing open the door of the study, Yong Rong immediately saw Yong Zhang who was sitting by the window with his head down reading a book, he couldn't hide the joy in his heart, walked over quickly and said, "Third brother!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Yongzhang was slightly stunned, then quickly raised his head, looking at the person standing in front of him, his heart was also filled with great joy, whenever the book in his hand fell to the ground, he would have no idea.
"Sixth brother, you... you are back."
"Third Brother, I'm back." Yong Rong bent down to pick up the dropped book, and then sat beside Yong Zhang.
After several years of tempering, his temperament has become much calmer. After experiencing the initial excitement and joy, his mood quickly calmed down.
He looked at Yongzhang carefully, and found that although Yongzhang still looked a little thin and thin, but his complexion was rosy, his eyes were full of energy, and he could hardly see any signs of illness. His heart was immediately relieved.
What he was most worried about when he was at the border was his brother's health. Now it seems that Huang Ama took good care of his brother, which made him unable to help but have some other thoughts.
Yongzhang didn't see his younger brother's thoughts, and was blindly immersed in the joy of reunion after a long absence, especially seeing his younger brother become so mature and stable, and his body has obviously become much stronger. As an older brother, he is really gratified.
"Sixth brother, will you not leave this time when you return to Beijing?"
Hearing his brother's question, Yong Rong came back to his senses, and scratched his head a little tangled: "Third brother, actually... I don't want to stay in the capital..."
"Oh?" Although Yongzhang was a little surprised, he didn't feel surprised. He thought he understood his younger brother's temperament very well.
The water in the capital city is too deep, so it is not suitable for Yong Rong, and he will definitely not want to return him to this huge cage after he has been in the border fields for so many years.
"Then have you ever thought about how to tell Huang Ama? You must know that you are an elder brother, and there is nothing wrong with staying in the capital."
"I know, but I believe Huang Ama won't embarrass me, besides, there is an eighth brother." Yong Rong smiled, looking not worried at all.
In fact, before he came back, he was still very apprehensive, but after meeting Yongzhang, he completely understood some things, and at the same time, he was confident that he could convince Huang Ama, but what really made him feel uncertain was another matter.
When Yongzhang heard him mention Yongxuan, the worries in his heart dissipated a lot.
Although he hasn't seen Huang Ama many times in the past few years, he can see that Huang Ama really likes Yongxuan. As long as there is nothing too embarrassing, Huang Ama will basically follow Yongxuan. of.
So as long as Yongxuan is willing to speak for Yongrong, this matter should not be a big problem.
Yongrong didn't say much about this matter, instead he chatted with Yongzhang about family affairs. They haven't seen each other for many years and they still have a lot to talk about.
It's just that he found that his brother didn't seem to know about the matter between him and Fu Ling'an, so he hesitated for a while, but he still didn't say it. After all, this is not something that can be put on the table, and he doesn't want his brother to worry about him anymore.
Compared with Yongrong, Fu Ling'an's side didn't go so smoothly. Not long after he arrived home, Fu Heng came back, and immediately called him to the study to give a lecture.
Looking at Fukang'an's sympathetic eyes mixed with support and encouragement, he couldn't help but took a deep breath, and walked into Ama's study in a nervous mood, with a heroic look.
After all, "It's a blessing, not a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided." Some things need to be said sooner or later, so it's better to be quicker, so as not to hurt others.
Fu Heng looked seriously at his eldest son, whom he hadn't seen for many years. The scene at the gate of the city was still vivid in his memory as if it were yesterday.
As a father, he was still somewhat dissatisfied with his eldest son, but as a subject, he could also understand Fu Ling'an's original choice, so he didn't blame Fu Ling'an for this matter.
It's just that he never expected that the eldest son, who has always been loyal to the emperor, would have a secret love affair with the sixth elder brother.
If it wasn't for the relationship between Fukang'an and the eighth elder brother, he would have known about it a long time ago, and he had tried to suppress it, so that no one with a heart could poke it out, otherwise, he didn't know what would happen. What are the consequences.
Fu Ling'an looked at Ama, who had gray temples and a vicissitudes of life, and felt deep guilt and intolerance in his heart. He knelt down straight on the ground with his knees bent: "Ama...the child is not filial..."
"You... hey...", Fu Heng originally wanted to say something, but when he saw his elder son kneeling on the ground with a guilty expression on his face, he couldn't say anything.
Poor parents all over the world, how can there be parents who don't love their children, let alone such an excellent son, Fu Ling'an is absolutely indispensable for the Fucha family to have today's status.
After being silent for a long time, Fu Heng asked: "Ama doesn't blame you for what happened before. As a subject, your choice is understandable. But the matter between you and the sixth elder brother is definitely not your subject. Is it time to do something?"
"I understand all of this. I know this matter will embarrass you and the Fucha family. No matter how you deal with it, I have nothing to say." Fu Ling'an looked at Fu Heng sincerely, but slowly After calming down, he didn't hide anything in front of his father, and said what was in his heart: "Ama, Yong Rong and I are in love with each other. No matter what choice he makes, I will guard him for the rest of my life."
Knowing Fu Ling'an's personality, he had already guessed the result, but after hearing Fu Ling'an's own words, Fu Heng couldn't help but feel a surge of anger, as well as a touch of sadness and sorrow. Can't bear it.
He knows how difficult this road is. As a father, he certainly hopes that his son will live a happy life and have a perfect and warm family, but now, it is obvious that there is no way to realize this wish.
If he forced Fu Ling'an to marry, the final result would only be to force his son away, and he would not be able to see each other for the rest of his life.
Seeing Ama's anger, Fu Ling'an hurriedly kneeled to his lap, picked up the herbal tea on the table and handed it over: "Ama, it's my son's fault anyway, don't get mad because of me. "
Seeing Fu Ling'an's expression of concern and worry, Fu Heng's anger subsided quite a bit, but he still said with a cold face: "Since you know you're wrong, go kneel in the ancestral hall and reflect on yourself!"
Fu Ling'an was overjoyed when he heard the words. He understood that since Ama said this, he initially accepted his choice. As for the following things, he can take his time. He believes that Ama will forgive him one day his.
At least Ama still recognizes his son, which is already the best result.
So he got up obediently without any complaints, looked at his father again, and went to the ancestral hall to kneel down and reflect.
Looking at Fu Ling'an's tall and straight back, Fu Heng couldn't help but sighed slightly. It's not that he didn't think about persuading Fu Ling'an, using reason to move him with affection, so that Fu Ling'an would change his mind.
But he understands that this method may be useful to others, but it is useless to his stubborn and stubborn eldest son, otherwise he would not have watched him leave helplessly.
Rubbed the swollen and painful temples, since he accepted this matter, he, as a father, naturally has to plan for his son and help his son wipe his ass. After all, the other party is the sixth elder brother. things.
Fu Kang'an, who had been eavesdropping outside the window, was relieved at this time, as long as he passed the level of Ama, it would be easy. As for the emperor's intentions, he had already heard the wind from Yongxuan.
The emperor will never support it on the public face, and maybe he will punish him slightly, but he will not object in private. After all, everyone in Aixinjueluo's family is infatuated, and the emperor doesn't want to be that bad guy, and finally make trouble. Father and son disagree.
Besides, Yongxuan was beside him helping Sixth Brother to speak, Sixth Brother would definitely not have any serious problems this time, and Fu Ling'an would naturally not be implicated.
With no worries in his heart, Fukang'an hummed a little song and went to the kitchen, asking the cook to make some exquisite snacks and side dishes so that he could send them to his elder brother.
The eldest brother just came back today, and before he had time to rest, he had to go to the ancestral hall to kneel for punishment. If he didn't eat well, even his iron body couldn't bear it.
Furthermore, he hasn't seen him for many years, and he hasn't had the chance to have a deep talk with his elder brother. Now that he has such a good opportunity, he certainly won't let it go.
When the cook was preparing to eat, Fu Kang'an also took the time to write a letter to Yongxuan to report the situation. After all, it was related to his elder brother, so he couldn't help but care about it.
Moreover, he heard that the emperor will return to the capital in a few days, and many things should be prepared in advance, so that it is safe to be prepared, so as not to cause unexpected problems when the time comes.
Using carrier pigeons to send the letters away, Fukang'an told the servants not to talk too much, and then went straight to the ancestral hall with the food box and a few jars of good wine sent by the cook.
He probably won't be back until very late, so it's necessary to remind him, lest there be any gossip and make it difficult for his parents.
☆, Episode 127: Plum Blossom ([-])
Longyuanlou is one of the famous restaurants in the capital city. It is a place for wealthy businessmen to treat guests to banquets. Occasionally, members of the royal family will come here. Therefore, the guests here come and go very neatly, unlike ordinary small restaurants.
On weekdays, the boss will also arrange some famous theatrical troupes or storytelling, which can not only enliven the atmosphere of the restaurant, but also earn some money.
It's just that the person performing on stage today is a woman. It stands to reason that this kind of person is not qualified to perform here. However, that delicate-looking woman begged the boss for a long time, and she was very kind to accompany her to eat Wine, the boss reluctantly agreed.
Not long after, a girl who was about seventeen or eight years old walked up to the stage with a pipa in her arms. After she was seated, she adjusted the strings a few times.
An old man also came up with a huqin, sat down not far behind her, and lowered his head without saying a word, so that people could not see his appearance clearly.
This girl is Bai Yinshuang, and the old man is naturally his adoptive father Bai Shengling.
In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Bai Shengling didn't want to come here to perform. He knew exactly where Longyuan Tower was, and ordinary people like them couldn't afford it.
However, Bai Yinshuang was very stubborn, she wanted to come to Longyuan Building to sing for everything, and her rhetoric was high-sounding: "The rewards here are much more than those outside."
As the adoptive father who has raised her up to now, how could Bai Shengling not guess what Bai Yinshuang was thinking? She didn't want to reward her for anything, she simply wanted to take the opportunity to get to know some businessmen and dignitaries, so that she could climb high branches with her beauty and get rid of this situation in one fell swoop. A life of poverty.
Her adoptive father tried to persuade her many times, but she just didn't listen, and secretly went to beg the boss of Longyuan Building. Although she didn't know what method she used to get the boss to agree to her request, no matter how she thought about it, it would not be a legitimate means . (My ancient servant)
Bai Shengling was extremely disappointed with his adopted daughter. If it wasn't because of his kind heart and his father-daughter relationship with Bai Yinshuang for so many years, he would have gone back to his hometown with his burden alone.
Because he really felt so ashamed that he couldn't lift his head up and lose this person.
At this moment, Bai Yinshuang didn't have the heart to worry about her adoptive father's thoughts. Although her adoptive father was kind to her in nurturing her, she didn't want to live in such a life where she was hungry and full and couldn't see tomorrow at all. .
Since she was a child, she found that her appearance was much better than that of ordinary women. After she came to the capital, she specially observed those Fujin and Miss from rich families. In contrast, she was quite confident in her appearance. She believed that as long as she Being able to get acquainted with high officials and dignitaries, with her beauty and means, she will definitely be able to marry into a high family compound and live a good life, even if she is someone else's concubine, it doesn't matter. (Genius evil less)
After the song was sung, Bai Yinshuang stood up in the midst of applause, holding a tray in her hand, and begged for rewards during the banquet, but the guests were not enthusiastic, and only a few copper coins fell into the tray one after another.
But she didn't care, but kept thanking the rewarding guests while showing a delicacy like water, secretly observing the dignitaries present.
Bai Yinshuang's plan was not in vain. When he reached the corner of the stairs, a man put a silver ingot into the tray.
She was slightly startled in her heart, and then filled with joy. She raised her head and tried to show the softness of Jiangnan women. She looked at this handsome man with grateful eyes, and her words were seductive without a trace.
But before she could say a few words to the man, she was interrupted by a gangster.
However, the next development completely exceeded Bai Yinshuang's expectations. The two men actually fought because of their verbal discord. Although she deliberately provoked it, she did not expect that they would actually fight.
The scene was chaotic, she deliberately showed a look of shock, but she was thinking about how to get out, after all, that man was really useless, he couldn't even beat a small boss, it was really disappoint others.
But Bai Yinshuang never expected that her adoptive father would be affected by the wrestling men, hit the corner of the table and passed out. Although she didn't want to care about it, she still acted like a filial daughter and hugged him Touched the brat's leg and made him stop.
At this time, the owner of the restaurant also called many people to control the situation.
Although the boss didn't ask them to pay compensation, he also drove them out with a bad face, and the man who gave him the reward disappeared.
Bai Yinshuang had no choice but to borrow a small cart and take his adoptive father back to their temporary hut.
As for asking a doctor to see a doctor for her adoptive father, she never thought about it. If she spent all the money on a doctor, she might not even be able to pay the rent next month, and she would be kicked out by the landlord. She didn't want to live on the streets .
As a result, Bai Shengling failed that night and left before dawn.
Although Bai Yinshuang was a little sad, she didn't shed a single tear. Although she was unwilling in every way, she still sold the coffin and filial piety clothes, prepared to guard the spirit for three days, and then buried her adoptive father in peace.
Moreover, she went to Longyuan Tower on purpose, taking advantage of her adoptive father's passing away, to beg the boss for mercy so that he would continue to sing here so that he would not end up living on the streets.
Because she was wearing filial piety clothes, she cried loudly on purpose, which attracted a lot of onlookers. Although the boss was very helpless and annoyed, in order not to affect the reputation of the restaurant, he reluctantly agreed.
This time, Bai Yinshuang just wanted to find a temporary means of earning a living for herself, but she didn't expect to attract the man she met that day.
After coming and going, they gradually became acquainted. She knew that the man's name was Fucha Haozhen, he was the eldest son of Prince Shuo's mansion, and he was the only male in this generation's family.
Although she looked down on Hao Zhen a bit, in order to be able to leave this slum, she still tried her best to seduce him with her beauty.
Sure enough, Haozhen was also a no-brainer, and was soon bewildered by Bai Yinshuang. Within a few days, he found someone to arrange a courtyard and took Bai Yinshuang there.
The house was not big, there were only eight rooms in total, and the doors and windows seemed a bit dilapidated, but he couldn't find a more suitable and better house for a while. Although he was not very satisfied, he had to make do with it.
But Bai Yinshuang showed a grateful look, saying that she didn't care at all, as long as she had a place to live, Haozhen felt that she was so kind and pure, and he was even more devoted to her.
The next day, he also asked Xiao Kouzi's third aunt, Changma, to move in to take care of Yinshuang; two days later, Changma brought in Xiangqi to serve Yinshuang together.
In just a few days, Bai Yinshuang transformed from a singing singer to a young lady who was served by others.
☆, Episode 128: Plum Blossom Roasting ([-])
For a period of time after that, Bai Yinshuang really lived a good life for a few days. She had someone else to take care of her, and she didn't have to worry about making a living. She finally had enough money to buy some rouge and gouache.
Hao Zhen would come to sit in the courtyard almost every day, listen to Bai Yinshuang playing the piano, and occasionally have a few drinks with each other, not to mention how comfortable the childhood was.
But Bai Yinshuang not only wants this kind of life, because this kind of life seems to be carefree, but in fact there is no guarantee at all, the name is not right, if Haozhen gets bored, he can drive her away at any time, Let her live on the streets again.
So that night, while drinking and admiring the moon with Haozhen, Bai Yinshuang solemnly said that he wanted to "repay" Haozhen: "My lord, you have done me a favor again, so I have to repay such a kindness. I I want to follow you back to the mansion to be a servant girl, and I will work hard from now on and serve you for the rest of my life!"
"No!" Akdan, Haozhen's guard next to him, blurted out: "You can't enter the house!"
Bai Yinshuang was startled, Haozhen hastily said: "The money to bury your father is purely to help others, if you think I'm just greedy for your return, you'll look down on me!"
Bai Yinshuang remained silent, looking at Haozhen in a daze on the surface, as if she didn't understand what he said.
Xiao Kouzi saw her puzzled look, so he explained: "First, our palace has strict rules, we don't just go in casually. Second, Lord Baylor slipped out of the study and went to Longyuan Building for a drink. The matter of fighting must never be known to the lord, it must be kept a secret. Thirdly, you are dressed in filial piety, wearing it into the door is a taboo, and it is unreasonable for you to remove it... So, entering the mansion is difficult, difficult, difficult! "
"Then..." Bai Yinshuang looked at Hao Zhen in a hurry: "What should I do? I have no relatives, no reasons, and nowhere to go. If my son... no, Lord Baylor wants me to fend for myself, I would rather obey orders... ...that, that..."
She bit her lip, her eyes were filled with tears, and her heart had already turned back and forth, "Then... I will bid farewell to young master and go by myself!" She was about to kneel down.
Hao Zhen supported her: "Where are you going?"
"A pipa, a yueqin, and a huqin left by my father, wandering all over the world."
"No!" Hao Zhen was hotheaded and excited, at this moment he couldn't let go of Yin Shuang: "I can't let you go like this! I 'can't' let you go like this!"
After some "touching" mutual complaints, Bai Yinshuang's desire to enter the mansion was put on hold for the time being.
Haozhen still comes here every now and then, talking about the palace, Haoxiang, the prince and Fujin, talking about thoughts, opinions, and life...
Yinshuang also talked about herself, how she traveled the world with her parents since she was a child, how she endured many hardships, how she lost her mother at the age of ten, and lived with her father. She knows how to capture a man's heart.
By chance, Bai Yinshuang noticed Yu Pei on Haozhen's waist and the fox fur tassels under Yu Pei. She felt very strange because she had never seen tassels made of fox fur.
Hao Zhen untied Yu Pei, let her play with it, and told her the story of "catching the white fox and releasing the white fox".
While listening, she looked at Hao Zhen with admiring and moved eyes. After listening, she still held Yu Pei and meditated for a long time.
"What are you thinking?" Seeing that she was silent during the day, Hao Zhen asked.
"Thinking of that white fox, thinking of the scene at the beginning, that fox, looking back three times before leaving, must be full of gratitude to you, I can't say it!" Bai Yinshuang looked up at Hao Zhen: "This white fox Mao, can you give me half of it?"
"You want this tassel?" Hao Zhen asked in surprise, "What do you want tassels for?"
"Don't ask..." Bai Yinshuang smiled, holding the clump of fox fur cherishingly: "I just want some fox fur."
"Okay." Hao Zhen also smiled and said, "But it's quite troublesome to take it apart, even put the jade pei here with you, and return it to me when you come next time."
After Haozhen left, Bai Yinshuang took apart the fox fur and embroidered a silk screen with the wool. Naturally, she did this to aggravate her position in Haozhen's heart and create more opportunities for her to enter the house. Chance.
After a few days of hard work, Bai Yinshuang took Xiangqi out to the framed bookstore, asking the boss to help frame it.
The boss took a look at the embroidery and heard that she wanted to mount a silk screen, so he immediately rejected it, because making a silk screen is very troublesome, does not make much money, and is very time-consuming, which is not cost-effective at all.
Bai Yinshuang bit her lower lip, and when she was debating whether to change the store, she saw a handsome man walking in.
As soon as she rolled her eyes, she immediately showed a look of crying. While begging the boss bitterly, she touched the screen without a trace and made a lot of noise.
Hearing the woman's weeping and noise, the man couldn't help but come over to find out. When he saw Bai Yinshuang, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't look away.
Bai Yinshuang carefully looked at the man from the corner of his eye, no matter in temperament or clothing, he was on par with Hao Zhen.
She had originally looked down on Hao Zhen, but now that she saw a man who was interested in her and seemed to have a good fortune, her mind naturally became active.
Bai Yinshuang begged the boss earnestly, saying that this silk screen was given to her benefactor, and told a lot about her miserable life experience. She didn't care if she could impress the boss, as long as she could impress the men around her.
Sure enough, the man was very moved when he heard it, and he said to the boss: "Boss, this woman is so kind and righteous, you can help her frame it, and I will pay you double the price."
The boss was only open for business, and when he saw that he had made money, his face naturally eased, and he agreed to help Bai Yinshuang mount the screen.
Bai Yinshuang took this opportunity to thank the man a thousand times, and during the conversation, he told each other's names. It turned out that this man was Fu Erkang, the eldest son of the Fu family.
It took three days for the silk screen to be picked up, so after saying thank you, Bai Yinshuang took Xiangqi and left the Mounted Bookstore, but when she was going out, she deliberately turned her head to look at Fu Erkang, showing a faint smile. smile.
Vulkang was stunned for a moment, but when he came back to his senses, Bai Yinshuang had long since disappeared.
Three days later, Bai Yinshuang went to the framed bookstore to pick up the silk screen in person, and as she expected, she saw Vulkang again, and it seemed that he had been waiting here for a long time.
However, she didn't tell the truth, she just pretended to meet by chance, and after a few polite conversations, she took the silk screen from the boss.
Fulkang naturally saw the finished product of the screen, and couldn't help but praise Bai Yinshuang's good craftsmanship. Obviously, his affection for Bai Yinshuang deepened.
Bai Yinshuang kept being modest, and inadvertently revealed during the chat that she lived in Maoer Hutong in Dongcheng, and then left with a smile on the grounds that it was too late.
However, Bai Yinshuang's luck was not very good, and it started to rain lightly on the way, making both her and Xiangqi drenched.
As soon as she heard that Hao Zhen had been waiting for a long time, she rushed into the hall in a hurry, and didn't have time to put down the things in her hands, or she didn't put down on purpose.
Haozhen stared at Yinshuang who had just entered the door, and saw her hair dripping with water, her face was pale and haggard, his stomach was filled with anxiety and irritability, and at this moment, he was mixed with a spontaneous heartache, which immediately broke out He patted the table heavily: "Which part of this house hasn't been taken care of for you? Tell me!"
Bai Yinshuang was startled, biting her lower lip, looking more aggrieved and weak.
Haozhen yelled like a cannonball: "Eat and clothes, which one did I miss? Even if I missed it, you can ask Chang Ma or Xiangqi to go out to buy it, what are you doing by yourself? ba1aba1aba1a..."
Regarding Hao Zhen's misunderstanding, Bai Yinshuang deliberately did not refute herself, but just said blindly that she knew she was wrong and that she would not do it next time.
She knows that some words are more useful when spoken from other people's mouths, and it is best to retreat to advance.
Sure enough, Xiangqi, who was standing on the side, couldn't bear it anymore, rushed forward to snatch the bundle from Bai Yinshuang's hand, untied it in twos and twos, and put a small round screen into Haozhen's hand. Said hurriedly: "Miss and I went to the bookstore to mount this silk screen! Because the boss thought it was troublesome and refused to mount it, the lady talked to him, and he agreed after begging for a long time, and finally got it back today."
Hao Zhen looked at the silk screen in his hand in surprise, and was suddenly stunned.
There is a white fox on the silk screen, its tail is raised high, and its white fur is shining. While running, it stares back at the other side, its eyes are black and sparkling, full of affection.
Hao Zhen only felt as if his heart had been hit hard by a sledgehammer, because in his opinion, this white fox was just like the one he let go back then, even the fur on his body was lifelike.
He was literally speechless with astonishment.
Xiangqi thought he was surprised by Bai Yinshuang's craftsmanship, so she said hastily: "Ever since Lord Belle left that jade pei, miss has not slept for several nights, haven't you seen that the circles around her eyes have turned black? Are people getting thinner? She used white fox fur, mixed with white silk thread, caught up day and night, and made this silk screen with her own hands, saying that she was going to give it to Lord Belle... Finally finished the silk screen, and rushed to match the frame again ...Miss doesn't even have time to rest, how can there be leisure, go shopping?"
Following Xiangqi's words, Haozhen fell in love with Bai Yinshuang thoroughly, from his words "I don't want to be the queen of the royal family", we can see how much he loves.
Bai Yinshuang also cooperated very well, expressing her love softly.
That night, Haozhen made an exception and did not go back to the mansion, but had a husband and wife affair with Bai Yinshuang in this small courtyard.
Naturally, he saw the "plum blossom brand" on Bai Yinshuang's shoulder, and he only thought it was Yinshuang's birthmark since she was a child, the symbol of the plum blossom fairy.
Bai Yinshuang smiled and did not refute, now she only thought about whether she could conceive Haozhen's child, and then use it as a bargaining chip to marry into the palace.
☆、129 Little Accident[VIP]
I'm thinking...is it time to abdicate...
Yongrong originally planned to stay in Xunjun Wang for a few days, so that he could spend more time with his brother before Huang Ama came back, but the next day he heard a shocking news from Prince He Hongzhou.
"What? Huang Ama was attacked?" Looking at the secret report sent by Hong Zhou himself, Yong Rong stood up immediately.
"Well, the specific situation has not been confirmed yet. This is just an urgent message from the stick." Hongzhou didn't want to make extra troubles at this juncture, so he only notified two people of the matter.
One is Yong Rong, and the other is Fu Ling'an who came back with Yong Rong.
After being shocked, Yong Rong quickly realized the seriousness of this matter and the reason why Hong Zhou came to him. At such a time, the capital would be less likely to cause any trouble.
"I understand. Let Fu Ling'an arrange the army. I will lead people to set off overnight to meet Huang Ama."
Fu Ling'an, who was sitting next to him, nodded, approved of Yongrong's arrangement, and then solemnly assured: "Prince and, with me here, you can rest assured about the army."
Hong Zhou breathed a sigh of relief for the time being. He was most afraid that some dissidents would take the opportunity to cause chaos in the capital. In addition to stabilizing the court, the army is the most important thing to maintain the stability of the capital.
Fortunately, Fu Ling'an is back, and it is definitely reassuring to entrust this matter to him, because of his loyalty to the emperor.
At the same time, Long Yintian had led Yongxuan to separate from the brigade resolutely, disguised himself as a merchant, and sailed northward on a merchant ship by water.
The assassination this time can be said to be completely beyond his expectations. The imperial guards are protecting the surroundings of the emperor, and the local government is also conducting martial law investigations all the way for this reason. Let him have to think too much.
Fortunately, except for a few imperial guards, no one else was injured, but the assassins who disguised themselves as monks all committed suicide after taking poison.
Yongxuan looked at Huang Ama who had been sitting next to her in a trance, and couldn't help but sighed slightly.
The assassination actually shocked him. Fortunately, he has practiced martial arts for many years, and he also practiced internal skills with Huang Ama, so those assassins did not hurt him. Huang Ama is also a strong martial artist, so naturally he is fine. .
It's just that he didn't want Huang Ama to waste his mind and mind because of this matter. He always felt that if he hadn't been too careless, Huang Ama wouldn't have been so worried about him and tired of running around.
Handing the brewed tea to Ama Huang, Yongxuan hesitated and said: "Ama Huang, don't think too much about assassins, I know you can't rub the sand in your eyes, but my son I don't want to see you working so hard."
Hearing the words, Long Yintian came back to his senses, smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to take the teacup: "I'm just thinking about it casually, it's not a day or two to thoroughly investigate this matter, and I can only hand it over after I go back." Go to the sticky pole to investigate secretly, and talk about it after you have some clues."
Yong Xuan nodded, he also understands that it is not appropriate to publicize this matter for the time being, if the assassins are pursued with great fanfare, it is very likely that only a few scapegoats will be caught, but no big fish will be caught.
And even if the culprit is found, it is still a matter of whether it can be investigated and dealt with at that time, so it is better to investigate slowly in secret, and deal with it secretly when necessary.
"But there are indeed a lot of things recently, and I really feel a little tired." Long Yintian reached out and touched Yongxuan's cheek. He is about to grow into a man in charge of his own affairs. He has moved more or less now Thoughts of abdication.
Yongxuan didn't understand why Huang Ama had such a tone, but he still held Huang Ama's hand and said with a smile: "If Huang Ama feels tired, go to the palace to recuperate for a while after returning to Beijing. It's good that Erchen can help you share your worries. Besides, Sixth Brother and Fu Ling'an have also returned from the northeast, so you have nothing to worry about."
"It's not that I'm worried about you." Long Yintian smiled meaningfully, stood up and looked at the scenery of the river through the window of the cabin, and said in a deep tone: "I'm thinking... Is it time to abdicate."
"Huang Ama! Why do you think so?" Yongxuan didn't expect Huang Ama to think so, and immediately stood up and came to his side, subconsciously grabbed his arm, and said eagerly: "You Now that you are still in good health, and the Qing Dynasty is prosperous and thriving, why do you have the thought of abdicating?"
"You've all grown up, why are you still working so hard? Wouldn't it be better to take care of yourself easily?" Long Yintian saw Yongxuan's nervousness and worry, and stretched out his hand to hug him into his arms , stroking his back: "For so many years, the number of times I have been out of the capital can be counted on the fingers. To be honest, I have long been tired of it."
"Huang Ama...", Yongxuan raised her head slightly, staring at Huang Ama's expression, not knowing what to say for a while.
He could hear that Huang Ama's words came from the heart and had absolutely no other purpose, and he also understood that the seat of the emperor is actually not that easy to sit in. Having the supreme right also means shouldering a greater burden. many responsibilities.
For so many years, he has also seen how Huang Ama has done, so it is natural to feel tired and tired.
"Don't worry, I'm just talking. Even if I want to abdicate, it won't be done in a short time. There are many things that I need to arrange carefully." Long Yintian patted Yongxuan's head and calmed him down. A little uneasy in my heart.
Yongxuan nodded after listening, after all, the throne is not a trivial matter, especially the throne
