The Lady of the Red Chamber
Chapter 109
Yun Qingchi stood in front of Situ Jin's desk, cupped his hands and bowed down: "Your Highness..."
Situ Jin raised her hand to stop Yun Qingchi's movements: "Go to Doctor Fan first and ask about Miss Wenqiu's injury."
Cao Wenqiu was not injured at all, Situ Jin obviously wanted to send Yun Qingchi away.
Yun Qingchi looked at Situ Jin leaning on the back of the chair with an unclear expression, and hesitated to speak.But after all, he didn't say anything, Su Rong said: "Yes, I will retire."
Yun Qingchi walked into the courtyard and happened to meet Fan Lu.Fan Lu was squatting on the ground, poking a precious herb with his hand.
According to what he said, Liang Yiheng searched all over the world for this rare and precious grass, and found it specially for him.So no matter where he goes, he will take it with him.
Fan Lu turned his head and saw Yun Qingchi, and waved happily: "Brother-in-law."
Yun Qingchi paced to his side with his hands behind his back, looked at Fan Lu's baby-fat face, and said with a smile, "What? You picked my nose and eyes at me a few days ago, but now you're eager to ask me to call you brother-in-law? "
Fan Lu pursed his lips, averted his eyes a little arrogantly, and continued to poke: "I still don't like you. But the senior sister said that we are a family and we should get along well. I was willing to call you for the sake of the senior sister. "
Yun Qingchi shook his head and laughed: "You really listen to Ah Heng."
After hearing this, Fan Lu turned his head again and stood up.Because of his height, he could only look up at Yun Qingchi: "Not only me, but you also have to listen to Senior Sister. Whatever Senior Sister says is right, you can't refuse anything she asks you to do."
Yun Qingchi clenched his fist with his right hand and coughed against his lips: "Naturally."
Fan Lu looked behind Yun Qingchi and blinked: "Don't worry, His Royal Highness is not angry with Miss Yun. He is just thinking about how to explain this matter."
Yun Qingchi saw Fan Lu's unabashed expression, and a strange look flashed in his eyes: "You heard what we said just now."
Fan Lu was a little strange: "How can I not hear you when you speak so loudly?"
However, Fan Lu obviously didn't feel that his behavior was very strange, but patted Yun Qingchi's shoulder: "Don't worry, according to my observations over the past few days, His Royal Highness is not the kind of person who turns around and turns to Qin Muchu." People. Since Miss Yun said so, His Highness the King of England must have his own thoughts."
After finishing speaking, Fan Lu squatted down again, ignored Yun Qingchi, and continued to poke his own flowers and plants.
Yun Qingchi looked at Fan Lu's seemingly childish behavior, then looked back at the closed door, moved his fingers, but did not say anything after all.
Yun Qingchi returned to Yun Mansion in a rare way.
Liang Yiheng had received the news a long time ago that Yun Qingchi would go back to his residence at night, so he didn't sleep either.Instead, he sat on the chair in front of the desk, writing and drawing quietly under the candlelight.
Hearing the door was pushed, Liang Yiheng stopped the pen in his hand and raised his head, looking at the door: "Zi Chi, you are back."
Yun Qingchi walked to Liang Yiheng's side, held her hand, and moved her somewhat messy hair behind her ears: "Didn't you say you don't have to wait for me? Why aren't you sleeping?"
Liang Yiheng knocked the brush on the small table beside the couch, and made a soft "click" sound: "I'm not waiting for you. It's just that there are too many things recently. If you don't take advantage of this time to draw more, you will be drawn again in the morning." There are a lot of things pressing down, and it’s wasted.”
Yun Qingchi lowered his head and looked at Liang Yiheng's drawing, a little puzzled: "This is it?"
A few outlines are drawn on the rice paper, and there are many annotations beside the lines.And in the most central part, a huge wheel-like thing is obviously drawn.
Yun Qingchi sat next to Liang Yiheng with great interest, flipping through the thick stack of drawings: "Is this a waterwheel? But it's a little different from what I've seen before."
Liang Yiheng stretched out his hand, clicked on one of the blueprints, and said, "Our waterwheels in Daqing have always been manpower-pulled. Not to mention time-consuming and labor-intensive, the effect can't be said to be very good. I've been thinking about it recently. The water wheel was changed to an ox-turned cart, and a donkey-turned cart. And..."
Liang Yiheng took out another blueprint and put it in front of Yun Qingchi: "Those are fairly simple, the main thing is this."
Yun Qingchi took the blueprint and looked at it carefully, then turned his head and asked: "I have never seen this kind of waterwheel, so what's the point?"
Liang Yiheng said with a smile: "I call it a 'high-tube water wheel'. If it is really made by the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry, it will be able to deliver low water and high water even in steep and precipitous places in the future. In this way, our Daqing every year At least [-]% more food can be added. How can such a thing that is of great benefit to the people be delayed? It is necessary to step up research and find out."
Yun Qingchi looked at Liang Yiheng's black eye circles after taking off his makeup, and touched it distressedly: "So you haven't had a good rest these days, just for this?"
Liang Yiheng held Yun Qingchi's hand, leaned against Yun Qingchi's arms, closed his eyes and said: "After all, it is almost finished now. You can choose a time to dedicate this recipe to His Royal Highness. Our family is already too old. It is not good to continue to make public if it is too grand. It is best to present it in the name of His Highness."
As for the emperor.
He knows exactly who developed the new waterwheel.It seems that the Yun family has given up all the credit, but Emperor Detai will still feel wronged by his family after all.There is no reward on the surface, but the actual benefits are naturally indispensable.
His Royal Highness has achieved such a feat.Even if the new emperor in the future wants to kill a donkey, he must think carefully.It can also keep the clouds clear and calm for a lifetime without worry.
Qin Guogong's government seemed to give in, but in fact it killed two birds with one stone.
Yun Qingchi embraced Liang Yiheng, feeling a little guilty: "Aheng, marrying into our family, after all, I have wronged you."
If he hadn't become the young wife of Duke Qin's mansion, Liang Yiheng wouldn't have to be like this.Obviously talented, but there is nowhere to release it.Even if you have done countless things that benefit the country and the people, you can only watch others take credit for your own.
Liang Yiheng laughed and said: "You don't know how many times you have said this kind of cliché. Not only the Yun family, but the Liang family has been on the edge of the flames after so many years. When the moon is full, it loses, and when the water is full, it overflows. We are not Those people who don't know how to measure should retreat as soon as they should, there is no need for the glory of the idea in front of them, and finally trapped the whole family together."
Yun Qingchi put his arms around Liang Yiheng, looked at the dark night outside, and sighed with some meaning: "You have always been virtuous, and you have always been clear about these important matters. Let the family be in your hands, whether it is me or my parents , are the most reassuring."
"What?" Liang Yiheng straightened up, leaned on the back of the chair, pointed to his shoulder, and looked at Yun Qingchi: "Your words have deep meaning, are you alluding to the Zhen family or the Jia family?"
Yun Qingchi put his hands on Liang Yiheng's shoulders very politely, and squeezed them gently: "Today, Zhen Jinluo, the third son of the Zhen family, posted a private post to His Highness. I have known for a long time that their family has always been at odds, and I didn't want to break up." so fast."
Liang Yiheng was never a real boudoir lady, a boudoir young lady.She even has a set of channels of her own to collect information on these high-ranking and powerful families.Therefore, she was not surprised that Zhen Jinluo was dissatisfied with the Zhen family: "Isn't this expected a long time ago? It's nothing surprising. It's just that His Royal Highness has only been in Yangzhou for a long time, and the third son Zhen can't sit still. It can be seen that he The resentment towards the Zhen family in my heart is no longer a day or two."
Yun Qingchi thought of the Jia family from the Zhen family. Some didn't know what to say, but sighed: "So what you said slowly is correct. There are too many things in this backyard, and it will eventually affect the children and future generations. Once the internal separation, this Home is not far away."
Liang Yiheng heard Yun Qingchi say this, looked back at him, and asked with some concern: "Speaking of which, is His Royal Highness dissatisfied with Slow? Are you angry with Slow?"
Yun Qingchi shook his head, took Liang Yiheng's hand and continued to press the acupoints, looked at Liang Yiheng, and said: "Don't worry. Your Highness is not the kind of person who is fickle after all. It's fine if you didn't know it before. Now you say it slowly and inattentively." With my little thoughts, His Highness will always give her an answer."
Liang Yiheng sighed, looked at the messy drawings on the table, stretched out his hand to put them together, and looked out of the window: "Slowly is also lucky, Your Majesty has grown up so much with her, so the Queen Mother wants to give Slowly to her." His Royal Highness, otherwise...if she enters the palace slowly, with her heart, wouldn't she be tortured to death by other concubines."
After thinking for a while, Liang Yiheng laughed again: "But as you said, the empress dowager is a very magnanimous person. I am also worrying about it. If your majesty is really about the same age as the Duke of Qin, the empress dowager will definitely not let you go. Enter the palace slowly."
Yun Qingchi was noncommittal about this.
Life is made by people. To be a British princess, there is a way to live as a British princess.When you are a queen, you have the way of being a queen.As for the Duke of Qin's mansion, what will become of it in a hundred years is beyond his control.
In contrast, he was more curious about what Fan Lu said in the courtyard of the mansion: "Aheng, I want to ask you if Fan Lu has particularly sensitive ears."
Liang Yiheng was a little surprised: "Why, he didn't pay attention to say it again, but you found out the clue?"
Yun Qingchi was surprised and said: "Is that true? What's going on here?"
Liang Yiheng said with some nostalgia: "Lu Lu has been able to hear and see since he was a child. Flying flowers and falling leaves, flowing water and wings flapping ten miles away, can't escape his ears. I didn't know his ability when I was young. It's just strange, why every time I leave the master's yard There is still a distance of a hundred miles, and he can always rush to the door to meet me. Even every time I make medicine, he can tell me exactly what medicine I am dealing with from a long distance. Later, Master and I Gradually found the clue."
Yun Qingchi thought it was amazing: "I have only seen this kind of ability in ancient books before, and I thought it was a fabrication, but I never imagined that such a person really exists."
Liang Yiheng was also inconceivable: "Yeah, I also felt very strange at the beginning. I also specially asked Lu Lu to do many tests. Speaking of which, Lu Lu used to be a helper for the big brother in Miao Ren Tang, and he was a little drug boy. With this ability, I have heard a lot of the dirty secrets of these big families in Jiangnan. You know, Jiangnan is the headquarters of Prince Yizhong. The eldest brother also relies on a lot of information in it to help His Majesty against Prince Yizhong at the critical moment One army."
"No wonder you live in the capital. Your brother also opened a clinic in the capital, but Fan Lu refused to enter the capital no matter what. Is that the reason?"
Liang Yiheng nodded, and readily admitted: "The capital city is not a good place. The water is too deep and too complicated. Lu Lu has a pure heart and has such abilities. Although my master and senior brothers have told each other, but in the capital city, he knows that it is not safe. There are some secrets that should not be known, which will cause the upper body to get angry. So why not let him enter Beijing in the first place, and be a chic and comfortable traveling doctor outside, hanging around the world, what's wrong?"
Speaking of this, Liang Yiheng told Yun Qingchi again: "Master said that this kind of ability is ability, but it is easy to attract people's hatred. If it is known, it will inevitably be silenced because of others' guilt, so he is never allowed to speak out. I've told him over and over again, but he promised well. Today, you found out about this by chance, just keep it in your heart, don't tell others, and bring him trouble for nothing. "
Yun Qingchi curled his lips and said: "Ah Heng, I understand what you said. It's just that I want to use his ability to do something."
Liang Yiheng asked, "What is it?"
Yun Qingchi said: "His Highness's attitude is unclear now, and the Zhen family is probably in a state of distress. Although they entertain Hanyun every day, I see that the Zhen family and the families in Jiangnan still have some reservations about him. I hope that the next Once Fan Lu can go with Hanyun, so that when Hanyun leaves the meeting, he can hear clearly what they are thinking. Your Highness and we can also take precautions early."
Liang Yiheng nodded: "Yes. This is what it should be. It's better to take the initiative than to be passive. I'll go and talk to him."
Yun Qingchi smiled, and held Liang Yiheng's hand: "Aheng, it is really a blessing for me to marry you."
Liang Yiheng glanced at Yun Qingchi, his face turned a little red, and he refused to speak.
Ever since Yun Qingxuan came back from the official residence, her interest has not been high.
Although Lin Daiyu tried to persuade her in the carriage, she figured it out at the time.But when he returned to the mansion, he twisted again.I can't help but think that when she becomes the Princess of England in the future, she may have to face a group of Yingying and Yanyan in the backyard, and when she gets old and fading, she will have to stay alone in the empty room and wash her face with tears every day.
Thinking of these scenes, Yun Qing slowly shivered involuntarily, hugged her knees, refused to get out of bed, and refused to be a female celebrity with Lin Daiyu as usual.
Lin Daiyu sat beside Yun Qingxuan, comforting her with nice words.He tried his best to say some funny words to please Yun Qingxuan.
Yun Qing was saddened, and responded wearily one after another.Lin Daiyu couldn't help but said: "Slowly, why don't I go and find my cousin sister-in-law and let her talk with you?"
Yun Qingxuan immediately grabbed Lin Daiyu's sleeve, shook her head and said, "Sister-in-law has been very upset about the new water truck recently. How can I bother sister-in-law with this little private matter of mine."
Lin Daiyu thought for a while, then said: "Then I'll cook a bowl of noodles for you. You didn't eat anything at night, so you just need some now."
Yun Qinghu hugged her pillow, and said, "Okay. Cousin, remember to put more vinegar and more spicy, and two poached eggs."
Lin Daiyu smiled and gave Yun Qing a slow look, and left with Xueyan.
Not long after, Lin Daiyu came back again.Snow Goose following behind was holding a tray with a big steaming bowl on it.
Xueyan put the bowl in front of Yun Qinghuan.
I saw snow-white noodles lying in a porcelain bowl. Due to the aging vinegar, the soup was not clear, but brown and black.There are two yellow poached eggs nestled on the top.Yun Qing slowly stirred the noodles with chopsticks, the faint sour smell mixed with the smoky heat rushed towards her face.Originally, Yun Qingxuan didn't have much appetite, but she was stimulated so much that her appetite widened.
Lin Daiyu was sitting opposite Yun Qingxuan, seeing Yun Qingxuan poking the egg, said with a smile: "I know you don't like to eat soft-boiled eggs. Don't worry, these two poached eggs are absolutely cooked from the inside to the outside. There won't be a little bit of rawness."
Yun Qing was satisfied, and picked up a noodle and put it in his mouth.Soon, the noodles were eaten up, and even the soup, because of the appetizer, Yun Qing drank several mouthfuls slowly.
Lin Daiyu watched Yun Qinghuan finish wiping her lips and rinsing her mouth, then sat beside Yun Qingxuan, and asked, "How are you doing, are you happy now?"
Yun Qing slowly put down the handkerchief, nodded: "Yes."
"You." Lin Daiyu nodded her nose: "I remember you said before, eat when you are not happy. If one serving is not enough, eat two servings. Now His Highness hasn't said anything yet, so you are like this Uncomfortable. If in the future...others wash their faces with tears, you will fill your stomach with food."
Yun Qingxuan really felt much better after being teased by Lin Daiyu.She is a person who lives in the present, and happiness and sadness are very simple for her.Since you can't change, just adapt, not to mention...
"Cousin, let's go to my sister-in-law in the future and let her teach us more."
Lin Daiyu propped her chin with her hands, and said with a smile, "Why do you suddenly have such an idea?"
Yun Qing slowly counted with his fingers: "Look, my sister-in-law is so powerful. She is not only proficient in medical skills, but also delved into Qimen Dunjia. Even as a descendant of Luban, she can make some powerful weapons from time to time. Even so, Qin She is also good at chess, calligraphy and painting. I found that apart from my slightly better embroidery work, I have nothing to compare with my sister-in-law. Now that I am at home, I will learn more from my sister-in-law. In this way, I will not be afraid of life in the future. .”
Lin Daiyu glanced at Yun Qingxuan's head: "Since you want to do this, I will accompany you. I also have a lot of things I want to ask my cousin to learn. I'm just afraid of disturbing her."
Yun Qinghuan immediately said: "Don't worry, I've found out everything. My sister-in-law's waterwheel research is coming to an end, and she will have a long time to spare. She loves us so much, she will definitely agree to us."
The two were talking, when Bai Lu walked in and handed over an envelope: "Miss, this was sent by the Eldest Young Master when he came back."
Yun Qing took the envelope curiously, and looked down.I saw the words "cousin kisses" above, flamboyant and familiar.
Lin Daiyu raised her chin and glanced slightly, then looked at Yun Qingxuan's nervous and shy expression, and said with a tactful smile: "Okay, it's getting late now, and I have to go back to my room to rest. Tomorrow Come talk to you again."
Yun Qing slowly held the envelope, the texture of the kraft paper had already been wrinkled by her.She didn't hear what Lin Daiyu said at all, she just nodded indiscriminately: "Yeah, cousin, I won't see you off."
Lin Daiyu left with a smile, and took a quick look at Yun Qing before going out.She laid the envelope flat on the table and smoothed out the creases with her wrist.Cherish it like a rare treasure.
Seeing Lin Daiyu leaving, Yun Qing slowly said to Bai Lu Baishuang: "You guys go down too."
After everyone left, Yun Qingxuan opened the envelope.On the snow-white letter paper inside, there is a simple sentence written: "I wish to have a person with one heart, and never leave each other."
Yun Qinghuan scanned this sentence with her eyes, as if she wanted to see Situ Jin seriously write down the poem with a wolf brush dipped in ink in front of the desk in the mansion through this simple poem. this poem.
Yun Qing squeezed the letter paper slowly, bit her lip, and after a while she seemed unable to restrain herself, she opened her mouth and closed her eyes and screamed silently.The snow-white paper was crumpled by her, but she didn't even notice it.
She threw herself on the bed, rolled over excitedly, hugged her quilt and kept chanting: "May I have someone with one heart, and never leave each other. May I have someone with one heart, never leave each other......... "
After Yun Qing was over excited, she unfolded the paper again, lying on the bed, and after reading it for a while, she began to beat the sheet excitedly again.
In the official residence.
Situ Jin stood on the porch with her hands behind her back, looked at the bright moonlight, lowered her head and smiled lightly: "Cousin, if I have two opinions, I would like you to come and decide."
Zhen Jinluo entered Zhen Yingcheng's study with a cup of tea.
When Zhen Yingcheng saw his son, he put down the book and asked, "Jin Luo, it's so late, what's the matter with you coming to see me?"
Zhen Jinluo put the tray on Zhen Yingcheng's desk, and said respectfully, "Father, my son would like to ask, what father thinks about what the second brother did this time."
Zhen Yingcheng took a sip of tea, a little funny: "Is there any need to ask? The second child has caused such a disaster, and now the old lady is angry. We must help Jinwen and our Zhen family through this difficult time." It is."
Zhen Jinluo looked at his father's natural appearance, endured it, but couldn't hold it back, and said: "Father, this is obviously caused by the second brother, and it is the fault of the second room. Why should we work hard for them? Even if you actively Help the second brother and the second uncle, but will grandfather really value you because of this?"
Zhen Yingcheng is a foolish and filial person.In his heart, his father's orders and majesty are greater than the sky.Hearing what Zhen Jinluo said, he scolded angrily: "Jin Luo, what are you talking about? We are a family, why should we separate each other?"
Zhen Jinluo sat on the chair and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Father, you treat them as one family, but they don't treat us as one family."
Zhen Jinluo's voice was not loud, so Zhen Yingcheng couldn't hear what Zhen Jinluo said, so he asked, "What are you talking about?"
Zhen Jinluo was very aware of Zhen Yingcheng's character, so he contacted His Royal Highness, wanting to leave the Zhen family.He did this kind of thing secretly and did not tell Zhen Yingcheng.
Hearing Zhen Yingcheng's question, he just laughed and fooled around: "My son didn't say anything. Father, Baoyu's birthday is coming soon. What does grandfather mean this time?"
Zhen Baoyu is the treasure of the entire Zhen family, and is greatly loved by the grandmother of the Zhen family, Mrs. Fengsheng.His birthday is celebrated every year.Not to mention that His Royal Highness the King of England is now in Yangzhou, so other aristocratic families should not look down on them, thinking that the Zhen family is not as good as the Chen family.
Zhen Yingcheng said: "Father and mother want to make a big deal. After all, Baoyu is not young, and this birthday banquet is not an ordinary birthday banquet. I want to see others for Baoyu."
Zhen Jinluo sneered in his heart, rolled his eyes to the sky, and was a little dissatisfied: "Our family now has such a big deal in the hands of His Highness the King of England. Who is not so busy that he hits the back of his head? Baoyu has nothing to do He doesn't know how to do it, he only knows how to hang out with the maids in his room and eat the rouge on the lips of those girls. The ancestor didn't want to get over this crisis quickly, but wanted to hold a big birthday banquet for Baoyu. This is really too indistinguishable."
Zhen Yingcheng was obviously very unhappy when he heard this: "Jin Luo, what do you mean? What kind of family is our Zhen family? Baoyu's birthday banquet is not a trivial matter. How will you treat us?"
Zhen Jinluo knew his father's stupid filial piety, he could not understand it, and was even a little annoyed: "Father, my son remembers that even if it is your birthday banquet, the family didn't pay much attention to it. Baoyu is only a junior, so he can surpass you? Why do you say that he is old? We need to see each other. Jinshu and I are older than him, and we haven’t seen our ancestors make arrangements for us. As for seeing each other, it’s Baoyu who has seven or eight maids to serve her. What decent family would treat her daughter Marry him? Is this marriage or enmity?"
Zhen Yingcheng didn't expect Zhen Jinluo to speak so aggressively today. He frowned and said, "You're too old, so why bother with your younger brother. When you say it, you think our brothers from the Zhen family are fighting against the wall. It's outrageous."
Zhen Jinluo sneered, and the sarcasm in his eyes could hardly be concealed: "Does this mean that I want to argue with him? It's the Zhen family, and they don't treat us as three householders at all. In the past, the girls in Zhen Baoyu's house could rely on Their master is being spoiled and rude to me. I am the Zhen family? What a joke. The slaves of the Zhen family are about the same."
Zhen Yingcheng patted the table fiercely, pointed at Zhen Jinluo with trembling fingers: "Jin Luo, you, you are so confused. The Zhen family is our family no matter what you say. Yes, I know you have been wronged these years. But you Why don't you think about it, if there is no Zhen family, how can there be you? If we don't help the Zhen family, is it possible that we have to cooperate with outsiders to entrap the Zhen family?"
Zhen Jinluo thought to himself: "Why not?"
But he knew that Zhen Yingcheng had always been foolish and filial, so he didn't dare to say it out. Instead, he saluted again: "Father, you should rest well. The son knows his mistake, and the son will leave."
Zhen Yingcheng waved his hand: "Go, go. Help your family organize this Baoyu's birthday banquet, and don't make your grandparents unhappy anymore."
Situ Jin was sitting in the room looking at the secret letter presented by the people below, when a guard came to report: "Your Highness, Miss Yun has arrived."
Situ Jin put down the dossier, feeling a little proud: "Please come in soon, cousin."
Yun Qing came in slowly and saluted, and said: "I have seen Your Highness."
Situ Jin was very happy to see Yun Qingxuan, but she still pretended to be reserved and asked, "Why is my cousin here?"
Yun Qing slowly raised her head to look at Situ Jin, then quickly looked away, and said to him from left to right: "I came here specially to see Miss Wenqiu today."
After hearing this, Situ Jin raised her eyebrows and nodded, and said in a long voice, "So that's the case. Then you can go to Miss Wenqiu."
After speaking, let Fan Lu take Yun Qingxuan to Wenqiu's room.
Wenqiu's spirit has improved a lot.
There are people taking care of her in the mansion, and there are countless guards protecting her.Even though the Zhen family tried every means to arrange for a maid to come in to serve, they couldn't do anything to her.
Although I still have to pretend to be crazy every day.But every time she saw the helpless appearance of the Zhen family, Wenqiu felt that she was one step closer to the road of revenge.At the same time, I felt relieved and thanked Liang Yiheng more and more for saving my life.
Yun Qinghuan and Fan Lu walked in together.
Cao Wenqiu knew that the person in front of her was Yun Qingxuan, the eldest daughter of the Yun family, so she immediately saluted: "Minnv has met Miss."
Yun Qingxuan was taken aback by Cao Wenqiu, and quickly waved her hands: "Don't be like this, we are all the same age, you don't have to be like this."
Cao Wenqiu ignored Yun Qingxuan's words, and insisted: "Mrs. Yun is the savior of the women, and Miss Yun is naturally too. This is a gift for the benefactor of the women. If the young lady does not accept it, the women will feel uneasy."
Yun Qingxuan turned away embarrassedly, and said coyly: "How can you be so exaggerated?"
Cao Wenqiu did not speak.
In her heart, Fan Lu held back the Zhen family, His Royal Highness ordered her to be admitted to the official residence, and all of this was arranged by Liang Yiheng.
Everyone in the Yun family has been very kind to her.His Royal Highness even said that he would help the Cao family reverse the case.Even if Yun Qingxuan was unwilling to falsely claim this credit, she was grateful to the Yun family, and this point would never change.
Yun Qingxuan finally learned about Cao Wenqiu's experience.She came this time because she wanted to know about the crimes of the Zhen family, so she asked: "Miss Wenqiu, I have heard about your life experience from your sister-in-law. Can you tell me about the Zhen family again?"
She wanted to know what kind of charges the Zhen family was ransacked and destroyed by Emperor Detai in the end.The Zhen family has done so many evil things here in the south of the Yangtze River.
Cao Wenqiu doesn't shy away from mentioning the Zhen family now, and is even willing to let more people know about the crimes committed by the Zhen family, so she smiled and said, "Okay."
While Yun Qingxuan was talking with Cao Wenqiu, the third son of the Zhen family, Zhen Jinluo, finally came to the door.
Zhen Jinluo stood in front of Situ Jin, knelt down on both knees, and made a big salute: "Caomin has seen His Royal Highness King Ying."
Situ Jin didn't call Zhen Jinluo to get up, but folded his hands on his abdomen, leaned on the chair and smiled: "The people of the Zhen family have always regarded themselves as relatives of the emperor because of the second brother and the concubine Zhen, and they are very arrogant. I never thought there would be people willing to call themselves grassroots."
Zhen Jinluo knew that this trip would not be easy, so he knocked his head on the ground and said neither arrogantly nor humblely: "In front of Your Highness, the Zhen family is originally a grassroots."
Situ Jin didn't expect that there would be a rare understanding person in the Zhen family, and she didn't want to continue to embarrass her, so she said, "Get up."
"Yes." Zhen Jinluo replied politely before getting up.
Situ Jin asked: "You have come to look for me now, but you have thought it through."
Zhen Jinwen looked at the square bricks on the ground, and his palms were already sweating: "Your Highness, now that the grass people have entered this gate, they know that there is no chance of turning back."
His Royal Highness the King of England died of a serious illness, which is well known in Yangzhou City.Now that he knew the truth, he could either stay by His Royal Highness' side and serve him, or die.
Situ Jin did not deny it: "It seems that you are also a smart person, you can see clearly."
Zhen Jinluo bent over and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Seeing that Situ Jin didn't speak, Zhen Jinluo understood that he was asking him to speak, and said cautiously: "Your Highness, the Zhen family will definitely post a post to His Highness for the birthday banquet of the young master of the Zhen family. I wonder if Your Highness will appreciate it?"
Situ Jin said with a half-smile, "Oh, do you want me to go or not?"
After hearing this, Zhen Jinluo immediately said: "Your Highness will decide all of this, how dare grassroots be presumptuous."
Yun Qing Chi Yun Qingyu and Meng Xiu often sat aside, smiling and not talking.
Situ Jin picked up the teacup and blew it. After making a full gesture, he said, "I heard that there seems to be some misunderstanding between the Second Young Master Zhen and the Third Miss Liu. But I don't know if the misunderstanding has been resolved?"
Zhen Jinluo Fu to the soul.
He was originally surprised that Miss Liu San had always admired Zhen Jinwen, why the Liu family was doing well, and suddenly they were about to divorce.Now it seems...
Zhen Jinluo immediately said: "A few days ago, the Liu family came to Zhen's family to withdraw the engagement. But I don't know how the second uncle persuaded Mr. Liu. Although the third lady of the Liu family said that she has become less respected to the second brother now, I am afraid that she will still become a subordinate in the future. Second sister-in-law."
Meng Xiuchang was just a listener at first, but at this moment, he was a little unbelievable: "After such a thing has happened, the Liu family still hasn't retired the engagement? You know, with Miss Cao, Miss Liu can only be one when she gets married. The concubine's room."
Zhen Jinluo said: "Although Miss Liu San has indeed been wronged now, I don't know how the second uncle discussed with the Liu family. When it was heard by the Liu family, I was furious. I cleaned up all the servants in the family. But I also promised the Liu family that Miss Liu San would definitely be the wife when she came in, and said Miss Wenqiu was just a way to delay the attack."
After hearing this, Yun Qingyu felt that his brains were not enough: "No, the Liu family can bear this kind of thing. If someone treated Miss Meng like this, I'm afraid Xiuchang would have brought his family's guards to the door long ago. Can you tolerate her being insulted like this?"
Yun Qingchi smiled and pointed at Yun Qingyu: "Ayu, you still don't understand these families in Jiangnan too much. As long as this wealthy family can benefit from the marriage, why not sacrifice a daughter? Not to mention, The Liu family controls the largest waterway in the south of the Yangtze River, so the help to the Zhen family saltworks cannot be measured by value."
Situ Jin made a point in a nonchalant manner: "If the Zhen family and the Liu family are united, I will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating."
Zhen Jinluo lowered his head: "Since that's the case, Caomin will definitely help His Highness. It is said that the wife of a scumbag will not go to court, and the second elder brother has already married the second sister-in-law. How can he be so ungrateful."
Situ Jin continued: "My king's illness seems to be almost healed. Presumably, he will be able to go to Zhen's mansion for a banquet that day."
Zhen Jinluo said: "Yes."
After Zhen Jinluo stepped back, Yun Qingyu asked, "Your Highness, are you really going?"
Situ Jin said: "Since they have kindly invited you, then if we don't take the bait, wouldn't we be too sorry for those who put the bait?"
Yun Qingchi was a little worried: "Your Highness, we don't know how the Zhen family will act. If..."
Situ Jin was very resolute: "There is no need to persuade anymore. This time, the king will definitely shake the foundation of the Zhen family. Concubine Zhen is not dead now because she relies on the influence of the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River. Brother Huang has trouble sleeping and eating."
Yun Qingchi knew that Situ Jin couldn't be persuaded, so he could only say: "Your Highness, let the lower officials go with you. In this way, if something happens, the lower officials can also stop your Highness."
Situ Jin nodded in agreement.
Meng Xiu often asked: "Then do we need to go?"
Yun Qingchi nodded: "Naturally. As the queen's younger brother, you have a noble status. Even if the Zhen family does not deal with the Meng family now, you will not fall into the shoes of others."
Situ Jin said again: "Not only you, but Mrs. Yun will bring Miss Lin and her cousin to go there. I want to see what kind of trap the Zhen family will set up this time."
Yun Qingxuan was very excited when she learned that she and Lin Daiyu would go out to have a banquet with Lin Daiyu in the near future, and she could also see the famous 'true' Baoyu.
After receiving the news, he trotted all the way to Daiyu's house: "Cousin, let's go to the silk and satin shop and the jewelry shop to choose some sets of clothes and jewelry. We represent the face of the Lin family and the Yun family, so we can't let others underestimate you." .”
Lin Daiyu brought some everyday clothes, and she planned to go to the silk and satin shop to order a few sets of skirts for the banquet.After hearing that Yun Qingxuan also wanted to go, she immediately responded, "Okay."
Yun Qingxuan likes to be lively, so she has always been a little keen on going to banquets.Holding Lin Daiyu's hand, she chattered non-stop: "I don't know how the banquet in Yangzhou is different from the banquet in our capital? I don't know any of these young ladies in Yangzhou. When the time comes, I will follow behind you, cousin, and you take me with you." recognize people."
Lin Daiyu and Yun Qingxuan were sitting in the largest jewelry building in Yangzhou, choosing the exquisite products sent by Xiao Er.
Lin Daiyu compared all the hairpins and rings, and when she heard Yun Qingxuan chattering non-stop, she pinched her mouth: "Okay, let's choose the jewelry first. There are still many that I haven't bought, and I'm going to buy all of them today." .It’s not good to waste too much time here.”
Yun Qing said "Oh", and obediently chose.
They were sitting in the VIP room on the second floor, but there was another noise coming from below.
cloud
Situ Jin raised her hand to stop Yun Qingchi's movements: "Go to Doctor Fan first and ask about Miss Wenqiu's injury."
Cao Wenqiu was not injured at all, Situ Jin obviously wanted to send Yun Qingchi away.
Yun Qingchi looked at Situ Jin leaning on the back of the chair with an unclear expression, and hesitated to speak.But after all, he didn't say anything, Su Rong said: "Yes, I will retire."
Yun Qingchi walked into the courtyard and happened to meet Fan Lu.Fan Lu was squatting on the ground, poking a precious herb with his hand.
According to what he said, Liang Yiheng searched all over the world for this rare and precious grass, and found it specially for him.So no matter where he goes, he will take it with him.
Fan Lu turned his head and saw Yun Qingchi, and waved happily: "Brother-in-law."
Yun Qingchi paced to his side with his hands behind his back, looked at Fan Lu's baby-fat face, and said with a smile, "What? You picked my nose and eyes at me a few days ago, but now you're eager to ask me to call you brother-in-law? "
Fan Lu pursed his lips, averted his eyes a little arrogantly, and continued to poke: "I still don't like you. But the senior sister said that we are a family and we should get along well. I was willing to call you for the sake of the senior sister. "
Yun Qingchi shook his head and laughed: "You really listen to Ah Heng."
After hearing this, Fan Lu turned his head again and stood up.Because of his height, he could only look up at Yun Qingchi: "Not only me, but you also have to listen to Senior Sister. Whatever Senior Sister says is right, you can't refuse anything she asks you to do."
Yun Qingchi clenched his fist with his right hand and coughed against his lips: "Naturally."
Fan Lu looked behind Yun Qingchi and blinked: "Don't worry, His Royal Highness is not angry with Miss Yun. He is just thinking about how to explain this matter."
Yun Qingchi saw Fan Lu's unabashed expression, and a strange look flashed in his eyes: "You heard what we said just now."
Fan Lu was a little strange: "How can I not hear you when you speak so loudly?"
However, Fan Lu obviously didn't feel that his behavior was very strange, but patted Yun Qingchi's shoulder: "Don't worry, according to my observations over the past few days, His Royal Highness is not the kind of person who turns around and turns to Qin Muchu." People. Since Miss Yun said so, His Highness the King of England must have his own thoughts."
After finishing speaking, Fan Lu squatted down again, ignored Yun Qingchi, and continued to poke his own flowers and plants.
Yun Qingchi looked at Fan Lu's seemingly childish behavior, then looked back at the closed door, moved his fingers, but did not say anything after all.
Yun Qingchi returned to Yun Mansion in a rare way.
Liang Yiheng had received the news a long time ago that Yun Qingchi would go back to his residence at night, so he didn't sleep either.Instead, he sat on the chair in front of the desk, writing and drawing quietly under the candlelight.
Hearing the door was pushed, Liang Yiheng stopped the pen in his hand and raised his head, looking at the door: "Zi Chi, you are back."
Yun Qingchi walked to Liang Yiheng's side, held her hand, and moved her somewhat messy hair behind her ears: "Didn't you say you don't have to wait for me? Why aren't you sleeping?"
Liang Yiheng knocked the brush on the small table beside the couch, and made a soft "click" sound: "I'm not waiting for you. It's just that there are too many things recently. If you don't take advantage of this time to draw more, you will be drawn again in the morning." There are a lot of things pressing down, and it’s wasted.”
Yun Qingchi lowered his head and looked at Liang Yiheng's drawing, a little puzzled: "This is it?"
A few outlines are drawn on the rice paper, and there are many annotations beside the lines.And in the most central part, a huge wheel-like thing is obviously drawn.
Yun Qingchi sat next to Liang Yiheng with great interest, flipping through the thick stack of drawings: "Is this a waterwheel? But it's a little different from what I've seen before."
Liang Yiheng stretched out his hand, clicked on one of the blueprints, and said, "Our waterwheels in Daqing have always been manpower-pulled. Not to mention time-consuming and labor-intensive, the effect can't be said to be very good. I've been thinking about it recently. The water wheel was changed to an ox-turned cart, and a donkey-turned cart. And..."
Liang Yiheng took out another blueprint and put it in front of Yun Qingchi: "Those are fairly simple, the main thing is this."
Yun Qingchi took the blueprint and looked at it carefully, then turned his head and asked: "I have never seen this kind of waterwheel, so what's the point?"
Liang Yiheng said with a smile: "I call it a 'high-tube water wheel'. If it is really made by the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry, it will be able to deliver low water and high water even in steep and precipitous places in the future. In this way, our Daqing every year At least [-]% more food can be added. How can such a thing that is of great benefit to the people be delayed? It is necessary to step up research and find out."
Yun Qingchi looked at Liang Yiheng's black eye circles after taking off his makeup, and touched it distressedly: "So you haven't had a good rest these days, just for this?"
Liang Yiheng held Yun Qingchi's hand, leaned against Yun Qingchi's arms, closed his eyes and said: "After all, it is almost finished now. You can choose a time to dedicate this recipe to His Royal Highness. Our family is already too old. It is not good to continue to make public if it is too grand. It is best to present it in the name of His Highness."
As for the emperor.
He knows exactly who developed the new waterwheel.It seems that the Yun family has given up all the credit, but Emperor Detai will still feel wronged by his family after all.There is no reward on the surface, but the actual benefits are naturally indispensable.
His Royal Highness has achieved such a feat.Even if the new emperor in the future wants to kill a donkey, he must think carefully.It can also keep the clouds clear and calm for a lifetime without worry.
Qin Guogong's government seemed to give in, but in fact it killed two birds with one stone.
Yun Qingchi embraced Liang Yiheng, feeling a little guilty: "Aheng, marrying into our family, after all, I have wronged you."
If he hadn't become the young wife of Duke Qin's mansion, Liang Yiheng wouldn't have to be like this.Obviously talented, but there is nowhere to release it.Even if you have done countless things that benefit the country and the people, you can only watch others take credit for your own.
Liang Yiheng laughed and said: "You don't know how many times you have said this kind of cliché. Not only the Yun family, but the Liang family has been on the edge of the flames after so many years. When the moon is full, it loses, and when the water is full, it overflows. We are not Those people who don't know how to measure should retreat as soon as they should, there is no need for the glory of the idea in front of them, and finally trapped the whole family together."
Yun Qingchi put his arms around Liang Yiheng, looked at the dark night outside, and sighed with some meaning: "You have always been virtuous, and you have always been clear about these important matters. Let the family be in your hands, whether it is me or my parents , are the most reassuring."
"What?" Liang Yiheng straightened up, leaned on the back of the chair, pointed to his shoulder, and looked at Yun Qingchi: "Your words have deep meaning, are you alluding to the Zhen family or the Jia family?"
Yun Qingchi put his hands on Liang Yiheng's shoulders very politely, and squeezed them gently: "Today, Zhen Jinluo, the third son of the Zhen family, posted a private post to His Highness. I have known for a long time that their family has always been at odds, and I didn't want to break up." so fast."
Liang Yiheng was never a real boudoir lady, a boudoir young lady.She even has a set of channels of her own to collect information on these high-ranking and powerful families.Therefore, she was not surprised that Zhen Jinluo was dissatisfied with the Zhen family: "Isn't this expected a long time ago? It's nothing surprising. It's just that His Royal Highness has only been in Yangzhou for a long time, and the third son Zhen can't sit still. It can be seen that he The resentment towards the Zhen family in my heart is no longer a day or two."
Yun Qingchi thought of the Jia family from the Zhen family. Some didn't know what to say, but sighed: "So what you said slowly is correct. There are too many things in this backyard, and it will eventually affect the children and future generations. Once the internal separation, this Home is not far away."
Liang Yiheng heard Yun Qingchi say this, looked back at him, and asked with some concern: "Speaking of which, is His Royal Highness dissatisfied with Slow? Are you angry with Slow?"
Yun Qingchi shook his head, took Liang Yiheng's hand and continued to press the acupoints, looked at Liang Yiheng, and said: "Don't worry. Your Highness is not the kind of person who is fickle after all. It's fine if you didn't know it before. Now you say it slowly and inattentively." With my little thoughts, His Highness will always give her an answer."
Liang Yiheng sighed, looked at the messy drawings on the table, stretched out his hand to put them together, and looked out of the window: "Slowly is also lucky, Your Majesty has grown up so much with her, so the Queen Mother wants to give Slowly to her." His Royal Highness, otherwise...if she enters the palace slowly, with her heart, wouldn't she be tortured to death by other concubines."
After thinking for a while, Liang Yiheng laughed again: "But as you said, the empress dowager is a very magnanimous person. I am also worrying about it. If your majesty is really about the same age as the Duke of Qin, the empress dowager will definitely not let you go. Enter the palace slowly."
Yun Qingchi was noncommittal about this.
Life is made by people. To be a British princess, there is a way to live as a British princess.When you are a queen, you have the way of being a queen.As for the Duke of Qin's mansion, what will become of it in a hundred years is beyond his control.
In contrast, he was more curious about what Fan Lu said in the courtyard of the mansion: "Aheng, I want to ask you if Fan Lu has particularly sensitive ears."
Liang Yiheng was a little surprised: "Why, he didn't pay attention to say it again, but you found out the clue?"
Yun Qingchi was surprised and said: "Is that true? What's going on here?"
Liang Yiheng said with some nostalgia: "Lu Lu has been able to hear and see since he was a child. Flying flowers and falling leaves, flowing water and wings flapping ten miles away, can't escape his ears. I didn't know his ability when I was young. It's just strange, why every time I leave the master's yard There is still a distance of a hundred miles, and he can always rush to the door to meet me. Even every time I make medicine, he can tell me exactly what medicine I am dealing with from a long distance. Later, Master and I Gradually found the clue."
Yun Qingchi thought it was amazing: "I have only seen this kind of ability in ancient books before, and I thought it was a fabrication, but I never imagined that such a person really exists."
Liang Yiheng was also inconceivable: "Yeah, I also felt very strange at the beginning. I also specially asked Lu Lu to do many tests. Speaking of which, Lu Lu used to be a helper for the big brother in Miao Ren Tang, and he was a little drug boy. With this ability, I have heard a lot of the dirty secrets of these big families in Jiangnan. You know, Jiangnan is the headquarters of Prince Yizhong. The eldest brother also relies on a lot of information in it to help His Majesty against Prince Yizhong at the critical moment One army."
"No wonder you live in the capital. Your brother also opened a clinic in the capital, but Fan Lu refused to enter the capital no matter what. Is that the reason?"
Liang Yiheng nodded, and readily admitted: "The capital city is not a good place. The water is too deep and too complicated. Lu Lu has a pure heart and has such abilities. Although my master and senior brothers have told each other, but in the capital city, he knows that it is not safe. There are some secrets that should not be known, which will cause the upper body to get angry. So why not let him enter Beijing in the first place, and be a chic and comfortable traveling doctor outside, hanging around the world, what's wrong?"
Speaking of this, Liang Yiheng told Yun Qingchi again: "Master said that this kind of ability is ability, but it is easy to attract people's hatred. If it is known, it will inevitably be silenced because of others' guilt, so he is never allowed to speak out. I've told him over and over again, but he promised well. Today, you found out about this by chance, just keep it in your heart, don't tell others, and bring him trouble for nothing. "
Yun Qingchi curled his lips and said: "Ah Heng, I understand what you said. It's just that I want to use his ability to do something."
Liang Yiheng asked, "What is it?"
Yun Qingchi said: "His Highness's attitude is unclear now, and the Zhen family is probably in a state of distress. Although they entertain Hanyun every day, I see that the Zhen family and the families in Jiangnan still have some reservations about him. I hope that the next Once Fan Lu can go with Hanyun, so that when Hanyun leaves the meeting, he can hear clearly what they are thinking. Your Highness and we can also take precautions early."
Liang Yiheng nodded: "Yes. This is what it should be. It's better to take the initiative than to be passive. I'll go and talk to him."
Yun Qingchi smiled, and held Liang Yiheng's hand: "Aheng, it is really a blessing for me to marry you."
Liang Yiheng glanced at Yun Qingchi, his face turned a little red, and he refused to speak.
Ever since Yun Qingxuan came back from the official residence, her interest has not been high.
Although Lin Daiyu tried to persuade her in the carriage, she figured it out at the time.But when he returned to the mansion, he twisted again.I can't help but think that when she becomes the Princess of England in the future, she may have to face a group of Yingying and Yanyan in the backyard, and when she gets old and fading, she will have to stay alone in the empty room and wash her face with tears every day.
Thinking of these scenes, Yun Qing slowly shivered involuntarily, hugged her knees, refused to get out of bed, and refused to be a female celebrity with Lin Daiyu as usual.
Lin Daiyu sat beside Yun Qingxuan, comforting her with nice words.He tried his best to say some funny words to please Yun Qingxuan.
Yun Qing was saddened, and responded wearily one after another.Lin Daiyu couldn't help but said: "Slowly, why don't I go and find my cousin sister-in-law and let her talk with you?"
Yun Qingxuan immediately grabbed Lin Daiyu's sleeve, shook her head and said, "Sister-in-law has been very upset about the new water truck recently. How can I bother sister-in-law with this little private matter of mine."
Lin Daiyu thought for a while, then said: "Then I'll cook a bowl of noodles for you. You didn't eat anything at night, so you just need some now."
Yun Qinghu hugged her pillow, and said, "Okay. Cousin, remember to put more vinegar and more spicy, and two poached eggs."
Lin Daiyu smiled and gave Yun Qing a slow look, and left with Xueyan.
Not long after, Lin Daiyu came back again.Snow Goose following behind was holding a tray with a big steaming bowl on it.
Xueyan put the bowl in front of Yun Qinghuan.
I saw snow-white noodles lying in a porcelain bowl. Due to the aging vinegar, the soup was not clear, but brown and black.There are two yellow poached eggs nestled on the top.Yun Qing slowly stirred the noodles with chopsticks, the faint sour smell mixed with the smoky heat rushed towards her face.Originally, Yun Qingxuan didn't have much appetite, but she was stimulated so much that her appetite widened.
Lin Daiyu was sitting opposite Yun Qingxuan, seeing Yun Qingxuan poking the egg, said with a smile: "I know you don't like to eat soft-boiled eggs. Don't worry, these two poached eggs are absolutely cooked from the inside to the outside. There won't be a little bit of rawness."
Yun Qing was satisfied, and picked up a noodle and put it in his mouth.Soon, the noodles were eaten up, and even the soup, because of the appetizer, Yun Qing drank several mouthfuls slowly.
Lin Daiyu watched Yun Qinghuan finish wiping her lips and rinsing her mouth, then sat beside Yun Qingxuan, and asked, "How are you doing, are you happy now?"
Yun Qing slowly put down the handkerchief, nodded: "Yes."
"You." Lin Daiyu nodded her nose: "I remember you said before, eat when you are not happy. If one serving is not enough, eat two servings. Now His Highness hasn't said anything yet, so you are like this Uncomfortable. If in the future...others wash their faces with tears, you will fill your stomach with food."
Yun Qingxuan really felt much better after being teased by Lin Daiyu.She is a person who lives in the present, and happiness and sadness are very simple for her.Since you can't change, just adapt, not to mention...
"Cousin, let's go to my sister-in-law in the future and let her teach us more."
Lin Daiyu propped her chin with her hands, and said with a smile, "Why do you suddenly have such an idea?"
Yun Qing slowly counted with his fingers: "Look, my sister-in-law is so powerful. She is not only proficient in medical skills, but also delved into Qimen Dunjia. Even as a descendant of Luban, she can make some powerful weapons from time to time. Even so, Qin She is also good at chess, calligraphy and painting. I found that apart from my slightly better embroidery work, I have nothing to compare with my sister-in-law. Now that I am at home, I will learn more from my sister-in-law. In this way, I will not be afraid of life in the future. .”
Lin Daiyu glanced at Yun Qingxuan's head: "Since you want to do this, I will accompany you. I also have a lot of things I want to ask my cousin to learn. I'm just afraid of disturbing her."
Yun Qinghuan immediately said: "Don't worry, I've found out everything. My sister-in-law's waterwheel research is coming to an end, and she will have a long time to spare. She loves us so much, she will definitely agree to us."
The two were talking, when Bai Lu walked in and handed over an envelope: "Miss, this was sent by the Eldest Young Master when he came back."
Yun Qing took the envelope curiously, and looked down.I saw the words "cousin kisses" above, flamboyant and familiar.
Lin Daiyu raised her chin and glanced slightly, then looked at Yun Qingxuan's nervous and shy expression, and said with a tactful smile: "Okay, it's getting late now, and I have to go back to my room to rest. Tomorrow Come talk to you again."
Yun Qing slowly held the envelope, the texture of the kraft paper had already been wrinkled by her.She didn't hear what Lin Daiyu said at all, she just nodded indiscriminately: "Yeah, cousin, I won't see you off."
Lin Daiyu left with a smile, and took a quick look at Yun Qing before going out.She laid the envelope flat on the table and smoothed out the creases with her wrist.Cherish it like a rare treasure.
Seeing Lin Daiyu leaving, Yun Qing slowly said to Bai Lu Baishuang: "You guys go down too."
After everyone left, Yun Qingxuan opened the envelope.On the snow-white letter paper inside, there is a simple sentence written: "I wish to have a person with one heart, and never leave each other."
Yun Qinghuan scanned this sentence with her eyes, as if she wanted to see Situ Jin seriously write down the poem with a wolf brush dipped in ink in front of the desk in the mansion through this simple poem. this poem.
Yun Qing squeezed the letter paper slowly, bit her lip, and after a while she seemed unable to restrain herself, she opened her mouth and closed her eyes and screamed silently.The snow-white paper was crumpled by her, but she didn't even notice it.
She threw herself on the bed, rolled over excitedly, hugged her quilt and kept chanting: "May I have someone with one heart, and never leave each other. May I have someone with one heart, never leave each other......... "
After Yun Qing was over excited, she unfolded the paper again, lying on the bed, and after reading it for a while, she began to beat the sheet excitedly again.
In the official residence.
Situ Jin stood on the porch with her hands behind her back, looked at the bright moonlight, lowered her head and smiled lightly: "Cousin, if I have two opinions, I would like you to come and decide."
Zhen Jinluo entered Zhen Yingcheng's study with a cup of tea.
When Zhen Yingcheng saw his son, he put down the book and asked, "Jin Luo, it's so late, what's the matter with you coming to see me?"
Zhen Jinluo put the tray on Zhen Yingcheng's desk, and said respectfully, "Father, my son would like to ask, what father thinks about what the second brother did this time."
Zhen Yingcheng took a sip of tea, a little funny: "Is there any need to ask? The second child has caused such a disaster, and now the old lady is angry. We must help Jinwen and our Zhen family through this difficult time." It is."
Zhen Jinluo looked at his father's natural appearance, endured it, but couldn't hold it back, and said: "Father, this is obviously caused by the second brother, and it is the fault of the second room. Why should we work hard for them? Even if you actively Help the second brother and the second uncle, but will grandfather really value you because of this?"
Zhen Yingcheng is a foolish and filial person.In his heart, his father's orders and majesty are greater than the sky.Hearing what Zhen Jinluo said, he scolded angrily: "Jin Luo, what are you talking about? We are a family, why should we separate each other?"
Zhen Jinluo sat on the chair and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Father, you treat them as one family, but they don't treat us as one family."
Zhen Jinluo's voice was not loud, so Zhen Yingcheng couldn't hear what Zhen Jinluo said, so he asked, "What are you talking about?"
Zhen Jinluo was very aware of Zhen Yingcheng's character, so he contacted His Royal Highness, wanting to leave the Zhen family.He did this kind of thing secretly and did not tell Zhen Yingcheng.
Hearing Zhen Yingcheng's question, he just laughed and fooled around: "My son didn't say anything. Father, Baoyu's birthday is coming soon. What does grandfather mean this time?"
Zhen Baoyu is the treasure of the entire Zhen family, and is greatly loved by the grandmother of the Zhen family, Mrs. Fengsheng.His birthday is celebrated every year.Not to mention that His Royal Highness the King of England is now in Yangzhou, so other aristocratic families should not look down on them, thinking that the Zhen family is not as good as the Chen family.
Zhen Yingcheng said: "Father and mother want to make a big deal. After all, Baoyu is not young, and this birthday banquet is not an ordinary birthday banquet. I want to see others for Baoyu."
Zhen Jinluo sneered in his heart, rolled his eyes to the sky, and was a little dissatisfied: "Our family now has such a big deal in the hands of His Highness the King of England. Who is not so busy that he hits the back of his head? Baoyu has nothing to do He doesn't know how to do it, he only knows how to hang out with the maids in his room and eat the rouge on the lips of those girls. The ancestor didn't want to get over this crisis quickly, but wanted to hold a big birthday banquet for Baoyu. This is really too indistinguishable."
Zhen Yingcheng was obviously very unhappy when he heard this: "Jin Luo, what do you mean? What kind of family is our Zhen family? Baoyu's birthday banquet is not a trivial matter. How will you treat us?"
Zhen Jinluo knew his father's stupid filial piety, he could not understand it, and was even a little annoyed: "Father, my son remembers that even if it is your birthday banquet, the family didn't pay much attention to it. Baoyu is only a junior, so he can surpass you? Why do you say that he is old? We need to see each other. Jinshu and I are older than him, and we haven’t seen our ancestors make arrangements for us. As for seeing each other, it’s Baoyu who has seven or eight maids to serve her. What decent family would treat her daughter Marry him? Is this marriage or enmity?"
Zhen Yingcheng didn't expect Zhen Jinluo to speak so aggressively today. He frowned and said, "You're too old, so why bother with your younger brother. When you say it, you think our brothers from the Zhen family are fighting against the wall. It's outrageous."
Zhen Jinluo sneered, and the sarcasm in his eyes could hardly be concealed: "Does this mean that I want to argue with him? It's the Zhen family, and they don't treat us as three householders at all. In the past, the girls in Zhen Baoyu's house could rely on Their master is being spoiled and rude to me. I am the Zhen family? What a joke. The slaves of the Zhen family are about the same."
Zhen Yingcheng patted the table fiercely, pointed at Zhen Jinluo with trembling fingers: "Jin Luo, you, you are so confused. The Zhen family is our family no matter what you say. Yes, I know you have been wronged these years. But you Why don't you think about it, if there is no Zhen family, how can there be you? If we don't help the Zhen family, is it possible that we have to cooperate with outsiders to entrap the Zhen family?"
Zhen Jinluo thought to himself: "Why not?"
But he knew that Zhen Yingcheng had always been foolish and filial, so he didn't dare to say it out. Instead, he saluted again: "Father, you should rest well. The son knows his mistake, and the son will leave."
Zhen Yingcheng waved his hand: "Go, go. Help your family organize this Baoyu's birthday banquet, and don't make your grandparents unhappy anymore."
Situ Jin was sitting in the room looking at the secret letter presented by the people below, when a guard came to report: "Your Highness, Miss Yun has arrived."
Situ Jin put down the dossier, feeling a little proud: "Please come in soon, cousin."
Yun Qing came in slowly and saluted, and said: "I have seen Your Highness."
Situ Jin was very happy to see Yun Qingxuan, but she still pretended to be reserved and asked, "Why is my cousin here?"
Yun Qing slowly raised her head to look at Situ Jin, then quickly looked away, and said to him from left to right: "I came here specially to see Miss Wenqiu today."
After hearing this, Situ Jin raised her eyebrows and nodded, and said in a long voice, "So that's the case. Then you can go to Miss Wenqiu."
After speaking, let Fan Lu take Yun Qingxuan to Wenqiu's room.
Wenqiu's spirit has improved a lot.
There are people taking care of her in the mansion, and there are countless guards protecting her.Even though the Zhen family tried every means to arrange for a maid to come in to serve, they couldn't do anything to her.
Although I still have to pretend to be crazy every day.But every time she saw the helpless appearance of the Zhen family, Wenqiu felt that she was one step closer to the road of revenge.At the same time, I felt relieved and thanked Liang Yiheng more and more for saving my life.
Yun Qinghuan and Fan Lu walked in together.
Cao Wenqiu knew that the person in front of her was Yun Qingxuan, the eldest daughter of the Yun family, so she immediately saluted: "Minnv has met Miss."
Yun Qingxuan was taken aback by Cao Wenqiu, and quickly waved her hands: "Don't be like this, we are all the same age, you don't have to be like this."
Cao Wenqiu ignored Yun Qingxuan's words, and insisted: "Mrs. Yun is the savior of the women, and Miss Yun is naturally too. This is a gift for the benefactor of the women. If the young lady does not accept it, the women will feel uneasy."
Yun Qingxuan turned away embarrassedly, and said coyly: "How can you be so exaggerated?"
Cao Wenqiu did not speak.
In her heart, Fan Lu held back the Zhen family, His Royal Highness ordered her to be admitted to the official residence, and all of this was arranged by Liang Yiheng.
Everyone in the Yun family has been very kind to her.His Royal Highness even said that he would help the Cao family reverse the case.Even if Yun Qingxuan was unwilling to falsely claim this credit, she was grateful to the Yun family, and this point would never change.
Yun Qingxuan finally learned about Cao Wenqiu's experience.She came this time because she wanted to know about the crimes of the Zhen family, so she asked: "Miss Wenqiu, I have heard about your life experience from your sister-in-law. Can you tell me about the Zhen family again?"
She wanted to know what kind of charges the Zhen family was ransacked and destroyed by Emperor Detai in the end.The Zhen family has done so many evil things here in the south of the Yangtze River.
Cao Wenqiu doesn't shy away from mentioning the Zhen family now, and is even willing to let more people know about the crimes committed by the Zhen family, so she smiled and said, "Okay."
While Yun Qingxuan was talking with Cao Wenqiu, the third son of the Zhen family, Zhen Jinluo, finally came to the door.
Zhen Jinluo stood in front of Situ Jin, knelt down on both knees, and made a big salute: "Caomin has seen His Royal Highness King Ying."
Situ Jin didn't call Zhen Jinluo to get up, but folded his hands on his abdomen, leaned on the chair and smiled: "The people of the Zhen family have always regarded themselves as relatives of the emperor because of the second brother and the concubine Zhen, and they are very arrogant. I never thought there would be people willing to call themselves grassroots."
Zhen Jinluo knew that this trip would not be easy, so he knocked his head on the ground and said neither arrogantly nor humblely: "In front of Your Highness, the Zhen family is originally a grassroots."
Situ Jin didn't expect that there would be a rare understanding person in the Zhen family, and she didn't want to continue to embarrass her, so she said, "Get up."
"Yes." Zhen Jinluo replied politely before getting up.
Situ Jin asked: "You have come to look for me now, but you have thought it through."
Zhen Jinwen looked at the square bricks on the ground, and his palms were already sweating: "Your Highness, now that the grass people have entered this gate, they know that there is no chance of turning back."
His Royal Highness the King of England died of a serious illness, which is well known in Yangzhou City.Now that he knew the truth, he could either stay by His Royal Highness' side and serve him, or die.
Situ Jin did not deny it: "It seems that you are also a smart person, you can see clearly."
Zhen Jinluo bent over and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Seeing that Situ Jin didn't speak, Zhen Jinluo understood that he was asking him to speak, and said cautiously: "Your Highness, the Zhen family will definitely post a post to His Highness for the birthday banquet of the young master of the Zhen family. I wonder if Your Highness will appreciate it?"
Situ Jin said with a half-smile, "Oh, do you want me to go or not?"
After hearing this, Zhen Jinluo immediately said: "Your Highness will decide all of this, how dare grassroots be presumptuous."
Yun Qing Chi Yun Qingyu and Meng Xiu often sat aside, smiling and not talking.
Situ Jin picked up the teacup and blew it. After making a full gesture, he said, "I heard that there seems to be some misunderstanding between the Second Young Master Zhen and the Third Miss Liu. But I don't know if the misunderstanding has been resolved?"
Zhen Jinluo Fu to the soul.
He was originally surprised that Miss Liu San had always admired Zhen Jinwen, why the Liu family was doing well, and suddenly they were about to divorce.Now it seems...
Zhen Jinluo immediately said: "A few days ago, the Liu family came to Zhen's family to withdraw the engagement. But I don't know how the second uncle persuaded Mr. Liu. Although the third lady of the Liu family said that she has become less respected to the second brother now, I am afraid that she will still become a subordinate in the future. Second sister-in-law."
Meng Xiuchang was just a listener at first, but at this moment, he was a little unbelievable: "After such a thing has happened, the Liu family still hasn't retired the engagement? You know, with Miss Cao, Miss Liu can only be one when she gets married. The concubine's room."
Zhen Jinluo said: "Although Miss Liu San has indeed been wronged now, I don't know how the second uncle discussed with the Liu family. When it was heard by the Liu family, I was furious. I cleaned up all the servants in the family. But I also promised the Liu family that Miss Liu San would definitely be the wife when she came in, and said Miss Wenqiu was just a way to delay the attack."
After hearing this, Yun Qingyu felt that his brains were not enough: "No, the Liu family can bear this kind of thing. If someone treated Miss Meng like this, I'm afraid Xiuchang would have brought his family's guards to the door long ago. Can you tolerate her being insulted like this?"
Yun Qingchi smiled and pointed at Yun Qingyu: "Ayu, you still don't understand these families in Jiangnan too much. As long as this wealthy family can benefit from the marriage, why not sacrifice a daughter? Not to mention, The Liu family controls the largest waterway in the south of the Yangtze River, so the help to the Zhen family saltworks cannot be measured by value."
Situ Jin made a point in a nonchalant manner: "If the Zhen family and the Liu family are united, I will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating."
Zhen Jinluo lowered his head: "Since that's the case, Caomin will definitely help His Highness. It is said that the wife of a scumbag will not go to court, and the second elder brother has already married the second sister-in-law. How can he be so ungrateful."
Situ Jin continued: "My king's illness seems to be almost healed. Presumably, he will be able to go to Zhen's mansion for a banquet that day."
Zhen Jinluo said: "Yes."
After Zhen Jinluo stepped back, Yun Qingyu asked, "Your Highness, are you really going?"
Situ Jin said: "Since they have kindly invited you, then if we don't take the bait, wouldn't we be too sorry for those who put the bait?"
Yun Qingchi was a little worried: "Your Highness, we don't know how the Zhen family will act. If..."
Situ Jin was very resolute: "There is no need to persuade anymore. This time, the king will definitely shake the foundation of the Zhen family. Concubine Zhen is not dead now because she relies on the influence of the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River. Brother Huang has trouble sleeping and eating."
Yun Qingchi knew that Situ Jin couldn't be persuaded, so he could only say: "Your Highness, let the lower officials go with you. In this way, if something happens, the lower officials can also stop your Highness."
Situ Jin nodded in agreement.
Meng Xiu often asked: "Then do we need to go?"
Yun Qingchi nodded: "Naturally. As the queen's younger brother, you have a noble status. Even if the Zhen family does not deal with the Meng family now, you will not fall into the shoes of others."
Situ Jin said again: "Not only you, but Mrs. Yun will bring Miss Lin and her cousin to go there. I want to see what kind of trap the Zhen family will set up this time."
Yun Qingxuan was very excited when she learned that she and Lin Daiyu would go out to have a banquet with Lin Daiyu in the near future, and she could also see the famous 'true' Baoyu.
After receiving the news, he trotted all the way to Daiyu's house: "Cousin, let's go to the silk and satin shop and the jewelry shop to choose some sets of clothes and jewelry. We represent the face of the Lin family and the Yun family, so we can't let others underestimate you." .”
Lin Daiyu brought some everyday clothes, and she planned to go to the silk and satin shop to order a few sets of skirts for the banquet.After hearing that Yun Qingxuan also wanted to go, she immediately responded, "Okay."
Yun Qingxuan likes to be lively, so she has always been a little keen on going to banquets.Holding Lin Daiyu's hand, she chattered non-stop: "I don't know how the banquet in Yangzhou is different from the banquet in our capital? I don't know any of these young ladies in Yangzhou. When the time comes, I will follow behind you, cousin, and you take me with you." recognize people."
Lin Daiyu and Yun Qingxuan were sitting in the largest jewelry building in Yangzhou, choosing the exquisite products sent by Xiao Er.
Lin Daiyu compared all the hairpins and rings, and when she heard Yun Qingxuan chattering non-stop, she pinched her mouth: "Okay, let's choose the jewelry first. There are still many that I haven't bought, and I'm going to buy all of them today." .It’s not good to waste too much time here.”
Yun Qing said "Oh", and obediently chose.
They were sitting in the VIP room on the second floor, but there was another noise coming from below.
