Floating Life and White Head

Hang Mansion, Hang Qinge was leisurely cutting the green plants in the courtyard, when suddenly two teams of guards rushed in lined up, and the armor on their bodies made the heavy sound of "ling, ling" metal collision from time to time.Hang Qinge is a person who has seen the world. Looking at the guard's attire, he knows that he is from the palace.He hurriedly put down the tools in his hand, stood up, and looked over.After a while, an old eunuch who was nearly fifty years old came out from the path opened by the two guards.Seeing Hang Qinge, the eunuch bowed his waist and smiled obsequiously, "Uncle Guo, Wanfu Jin'an, long time no see."

"Be polite, dare to ask your father-in-law's honorable name?"

"My slave's surname is Li, and Long Live God calls my slave, Xiao Li." As he spoke, he raised his hands above his shoulders and cupped his fists to congratulate him.

"Eunuch Li came from a long way, why not?"

"Uncle Guo is overjoyed, the servant is here to deliver the decree for Lord Long Live."

Hangqinge was in agitation, he had resigned from office for many years, and the uncle of the country was just a false name, why did the palace servants go to Guangzhou to preach the decree now?He waved his hand calmly, "Thank you, Eunuch Li, please."

Walking to the main hall of Hang Mansion, Hang Qinge said, "Eunuch Li, please announce the decree."

Hang Qinge was about to bow down, but Eunuch Li held him up, "Wait a minute, please ask Uncle Guo to ask Xiuying Gege to come over."

Hang Qinge was full of doubts, and it was not appropriate to ask more questions, so he could only respond, "Oh, good." At the same time, he ordered his servants to invite Hang Xiuying.

After a while, Hang Xiuying walked in slowly and expressionlessly.Hang Qinge hurriedly said, "The little girl is here. Eunuch Li, please."

Eunuch Li nodded with a smile, and took out a roll of yellow imperial edict from his sleeve.He cleared his throat, "The imperial decree has arrived! Hang Jiaqinge, Hang Jiaxiuying accepts the decree!"

Everyone in the hall knelt down on the ground.

"By God's blessing, the emperor's edict said: Hang Jiaxiuying, the daughter of Zier Hang Jiaqinge, was born into a famous family, dignified and beautiful, dignified and rui, and has been known for her gentle and elegant demeanor, courteous manners, and talents of the group. I agree with my heart. I will marry the crown prince Yongyan when I write it, and Lin Yongyan will take the throne in the first month of the year, and I will be conferred the title of Ying concubine. This is my honor!"

Hang Qinge knelt on the ground, his eyes widened after hearing the decree, his mouth was dumbfounded.It's a misfortune rather than a blessing, how could the emperor have such a sudden intention?Why so fast?What should Xiuying do, her heart is already Xu Yulin, this...

Hang Xiuying heard that the servants had reported to the people in the palace that she would go to receive the order, so it is definitely not a good thing to keep secret.When she saw Xuan Zhi's eunuch smirking at her in the main hall, her heart sank again and she didn't dare to speculate any further.She knelt on the ground nervously, closing her eyes and listening carefully.As soon as the eunuch passing the decree opened her mouth, her heart gradually became depressed. Hang Xiuying knew that something was wrong and she was about to be thrown into a prison.After the imperial decree was read, her guess came true, like a thunderbolt from the blue, her whole body collapsed to the ground.It turned out that everything was doomed long ago, and the signed document already said that "the spring heart will not be full of flowers, and every inch of lovesickness will be grayed".

Seeing that Hang Jia's father and daughter hadn't responded for a long time, Eunuch Li bent over and said in a low voice, "Uncle Guo, Xiu Ying, get the order quickly."

"Ah, yes." Hang Qinge quickly stood up, and raised his hands to receive the imperial edict.Then she glanced sideways at Hang Xiuying with a bitter expression on her face, but she was still kneeling on the ground, motionless.

"Please get up." Eunuch Li bowed and went to help Hang Qinge and his daughter. "The servant congratulates Uncle Guo, Xiuying is overjoyed."

Hang Qinge nodded and forced a smile, "Mr. Li has worked so hard on the road, it's such a small thing, it's not a respect." While talking, he took out a few large bank notes from his sleeve and handed them to him.

Eunuch Li took it with a smile on his face, bowed his waist again and again and said, "Thank you, Uncle Guo, for your sympathy." Then he took out a yellow envelope with sealant from his arms and secretly stuffed it in Hangqinge, whispering softly, "Uncle Guo, this It's a secret letter that the concubine Duan entrusted to the slave to carry."

Surprised, Hang Qinge quickly put the letter in his sleeve.

Eunuch Li immediately said solemnly, "The decree has been delivered, and the slaves and others will go to the post house to rest first. I hope uncle Guo and Xiu Ying will remember to leave for Beijing in three days. Don't delay the auspicious time and miss the big event, slaves." I can't afford it."

Hang Qinge forced his hand, "Thank you for your father-in-law's advice, it will be safe."

"Okay, okay, that slave will back down now." After finishing speaking, he turned and walked towards the gate of the mansion, ordering the Imperial Forest Army to withdraw one by one.

Hang Xiuying's face was gloomy, and her eyes were fixed on the spot blankly.Knowing that his daughter was sad, Hang Qin sighed and took out the secret letter from his sleeve.

From the looks of it, the letter on the envelope is 'My Brother Han Tongqin'.

Hang Qinge tore open the letterhead and unfolded the letter.

My Brother Han Tongtai Lesson: Dear Sir, my younger sister, Ru Lan, has lived with my brother for three years. Now the world is about to change, the new emperor has been appointed, and there are many disturbances in the palace.My brother can learn from this. I entered the palace at a young age and served the emperor for twenty years. I only gave birth to a daughter, which is an insult to my father's life.Currently alone and weak, although he has the task of raising the crown prince, he is no match for his blood relatives, so he has nothing to rely on for the rest of his life.The elder brother has been away from the officialdom for a long time, and the two nephews have inherited the demeanor of their ancestors, and the future is bright. It is really the luck of the Hang Jia family.However, he is still immature, his position is unstable, and it is difficult to trust him.Receiving the favor of the emperor, thinking of the exhaustion of Hangjia's family for several generations, Jinkou promised the honor of Xiuying's concubine.Xiu Ying is known as Zhuo Ying for her appearance, talent and virtue. She will be a dazzling harem in the future, and she is waiting to be in charge of the Phoenix Seal.You Wang Xiuying made every step of the way, Hang Jia's honor and disgrace depended on her body, and I also looked up to her when I returned home.Ru Lan knew that her elder brother was indifferent to fame and fortune, and had no intention of playing tricks, and the current situation was overwhelming, so there was no other way.I am now in the year of Xu Niang's birthday, and my calculations are in vain, and there is no contest.The two nephews have a long career, so we have to plan for it.The palace is as deep as the sea, and the fate is inferior to the poor.Knowing that this would not be able to avoid Qu Xiuying's intentions, it was difficult for Zuo Xiuying to force her, so her elder brother comforted her more and pleaded guilty on behalf of her sister.Many hardships, all have difficulties.When the elder brother sees the letter, it is probably the day when the decree is received. Now that the boat has been completed, the elder brother should understand the righteousness and follow it. Wanwang takes the overall situation into consideration and acts cautiously. '

After reading the secret letter, Hang Jiaqinge let out another breath with his head down, put the letter away and put it in his arms.He walked up to Hang Jiaxiuying, stroked her arm with one hand, and said distressedly, "Xiuying, Ama knows you are having a hard time."

Hang Jiaxiuying knelt heavily on the ground in an instant, pulled his robe, and cried out, "Ama, my daughter doesn't want to enter the palace! There are three thousand beauties in the harem, how many of them can die well? My daughter is unwilling to go to such a shameful place." I don’t want to! Ama also knows that my heart belongs to me. I only have Jiang Yulin in my heart. How can I throw myself in my arms and share the same bed with a man I don’t love! Even if he is the future emperor, I can’t do it .Ama, help me!"

After hearing this, Qiaoyun wiped her tears.

Hang Jiaqinge shook his head and sighed, "You are right, and Ama knows the reason. However, the imperial decree has been issued, so we can only follow the holy will. It is hard to get over the water, and the emperor's order is hard to break!" He bent down, squatted In front of her, she was filled with guilt, "I am also responsible for this matter. Your aunt is only planning for Hang Jia's fame and prosperity. When she left Beijing, she revealed in her words that she wanted to send you into the palace. I didn't take it seriously, so I just joked." Unexpectedly, she insisted on doing this, so there is a dilemma today."

Hang Jiaxiuying smiled wryly and said, "Sure enough. Living in Guangzhou, hiding my name and not being able to avoid the 'Holy Grace', I was originally used as a bargaining chip in the struggle for power. She was empty in the palace, and she was tired of suffering for years. Why bother to ruin her now?" Kill me! For the sake of power, you have to sacrifice my life's happiness, you are so selfish!" After speaking, he got up, covered his face and rushed out the door.

It was the first time I saw my daughter being so rude, it must have been too much of a blow. "Xiu Ying! Xiu Ying!"

In a blink of an eye, people have gone away.

Hang Jiaxiuying returned to the room, lay down on the bed, and cried sadly.With tears still on Qiao Yun's face, she lowered her hand and closed the door.She regretted it too much. In the past, it was just a joke that she used to praise her as Daji, but she never thought that it would become a prophecy.

She wiped her tears and knelt down in front of the bed, "Gege, no matter where you go, there will be mountains of swords and seas of fire, and the slaves will follow you!"

Hang Jiaxiuying paused, still not sobbing, slowly raised her body, looked at Qiaoyun and asked, "Qiaoyun, this is God's will, isn't it?" Hair, an inch of lovesickness and an inch of ashes... In the spring heart, there will be no flowers competing for hair, an inch of lovesickness and an inch of gray...God's will, no matter how hard I try, it will be in vain, and my heart will become ashes."

Jiang Yulin returned to the Jiangfu, drew two portraits of Gu Cansheng, and asked the servants in the mansion to search the west and south of the city, focusing on Sanyuanli and Yazai Lane, and compare them. It is a person with disabled hands, so I will report back quickly.The other one was handed over to Uncle Qian's Fu, and he was entrusted to lead a group of servants from Qian's mansion to search for it in the north and east of the city.When everything was arranged, Jiang Yulin sat alone in the study and flipped through the classics, thinking hard about countermeasures.If ordinary people can tell whether there is real gold in copper coins, wouldn't it be self-defeating that copper coins contain gold?They will inevitably be driven by profit, and take the copper coins that have been confirmed to be gold-free to the bank to exchange for silver taels.Jiang Yulin was overjoyed, and finally had some clues!

Just as he was rejoicing, Jiu Jin Er rushed in through the door anxiously. "Master, it's not good, it's not good!"

Jiang Yulin felt a 'thump' in his heart, could it be that something went wrong with collecting copper again?He asked anxiously, "Quickly, what's the matter?"

"The imperial decree came from the palace, sister Xiu Ying is going to enter the palace!" Jiu Jin Er replied in a hurry.

"What?!" Jiang Yulin was shocked and couldn't believe it.After a long while, he said again, "Impossible, don't make nonsense about making fun of me. You can't joke about this."

"Young master, it's true! I haven't seen Qiaoyun for a long time, and I was thinking so hard. When I returned to the mansion, I went to the Hangzhou mansion by way. On the way, I met people dressed as eunuchs who came from the palace to pass the decree, and there was a team. The guards wearing unusual armor seemed to come out of the Hangzhou Mansion. I had never seen such a scene before, and I was suspicious, so I went into the Hangzhou Mansion and asked Qiaoyun to clarify. It turned out that he was really an eunuch, and what was his name, Eunuch Li. Those The guards are from the Imperial Forest Army, they all came from the capital, and they were ordered to escort Miss Xiuying into the palace. When the new emperor ascends the throne, the canonization will be done."

Jiang Yulin shook his head, "There's no reason. Xiuying is a Han Chinese, how could she be easily selected into the palace?"

"Young master, I know you don't want to believe it. Sister Xiuying is a Manchu, Zhengbaiqi, and her real name is Hang Jiaxiuying. She is Gege. Master Hang is not Master Hang, but Uncle Guo. When I found out, my reaction was exactly the same as the young master's." , I can’t believe it.”

Before Jiujiner could finish speaking, Jiang Yulin had already walked out the door.He hastily picked up a horse from the stables and led it out of the house, tightened the reins, stepped on the saddle, flew onto the horse, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, flew with a long whip, and drove towards Hang Mansion.Seeing this, Jiujiner drove his horse and chased after him.
