Chapter 218: How True or False Is It Back Then
After figuring out what happened, I wasn't in a hurry. www.biquge.info I am afraid that the Li family would do this because I thought that the fake eunuch who did not forget to pour dirty water on her and Hongshi before he died was arranged by me, and she always felt that it was because of that incident that Yinzhen would lock her up for ten years, and at the same time snub Hongshi for ten years. So she used the same means to retaliate against me, wanting me to be disgusted by Yinzhen's suspicion.
However, Li is a woman's opinion after all, and she misjudged Yinzhen's treatment of me. At this time, except for the thirteenth elder brother, there is no one around Yinzhen who can really trust and speak frankly, and I happen to be just as he said, I can give him the peace of mind and steadfastness he needs, even if he will be jealous and mustard, but he knows very well what I have always wanted and is relatively relieved, and I also know that I am not the kind of ordinary woman who can't stand loneliness, so after this incident, he didn't question and reprimand, but just found a reasonable reason to transfer Xiao Shunzi away, which is more or less protective. Compared with the relationship between me and Xiao Shunzi, he cares more about the affairs between me and his two brothers, after all, Xiao Shunzi is his own person and a eunuch, and those two are real men and the biggest enemy. No matter what his own people do, they will not harm his interests, but the enemy is different.
"Actually, I've always wanted to know why you were arranged to my side with such an identity, and why you were so loyal to me behind the emperor's back later, so I didn't ask before because it may not be a good thing to ask many things clearly, but now that you are leaving, I still hope to be able to get an answer. "I didn't dwell too much on the Li family and the rumors, and suddenly asked this question in my heart.
I wasn't going to ask this question, but now I have the mind to explore. He was supposed to be the person Yinzhen cultivated and trusted, but he protected and allegiated me for twenty years for no reason and without any desire, and in these twenty years, he almost reached the point of forgetting to die. I don't think I've done anything to make him faithful to me. It's just that in the past 20 years, I have also vaguely felt that his attitude towards me is not only loyal, but also inadvertently reveals feelings in his eyes when he looks at me silently.
The abrupt question made Xiao Shunzi instantly silent, and the hand on his lap clenched into a fist, as if he was thinking, as if he was making a decision. I looked at him aggressively, quietly waiting for his answer.
Seeing that I was determined to delve into it, Xiao Shunzi sighed, took out something from his arms and handed it over, saying, "Master still remembers this." ”
I reached out and took it, and it was a white silk handkerchief with some yellowish visible thoughts, and the silk handkerchief was wrapped in a jade bracelet that was not very good. I put the jade bracelet aside, picked up the handkerchief and looked at it, and saw a crooked embroidery on the corner of the handkerchief with the word "Wen", looking at the rough and childish embroiderer, but I felt familiar, because when I was learning embroidery in the Geng family before, Geng's mother had taken out the same handkerchief and joked with a smile: "Look at it, this is embroidered when you were asked to learn to be a girl before, where was it as calm as now." Several handkerchiefs have been repaired, and they dare to show off on the street with them, and they can't find the reserved appearance of their daughter's family. ”
Sure that the handkerchief was the original owner of his body, he picked up the jade bracelet and looked left and right, at first glance it felt familiar, carefully recalled the clues about the jade bracelet in the memory of the original owner, and suddenly remembered that this thing seemed to be made by the original owner's father Geng when he was ten years old. But because when his soul passed through, the scattered memories of the original owner were not very completely received, so some things can only have a vague impression, and it has been difficult to distinguish after twenty years. But what is certain is that these two things do belong to the original "me", but how did they get into the hands of Xiao Shunzi, and they have been kept close to him.
"The master really doesn't remember. Xiao Shunzi smiled slightly wryly, clasped her hands on her knees, and tried to relax her body.
Xiao Shunzi did not directly answer about Yinzhen's intention of putting him by my side, but began to start with the bribery case of the Shuntian Township Examination in the 38th year of Kangxi.
In the 38th year of Kangxi, after the trial list of Shuntianxiang was released, some candidates wrote articles and posted them in the market, revealing that the examiners did not read the suffering of the Han scholars, and the desire for profit was lazy, and they tended to be inflammatory, and the children of high-ranking officials in the imperial court were among the best, and the children of dozens of ministers and ministers were also selected, not asking whether the article was good or bad, only asking how much bribe money was given, and as a result, the rich room of the Manchu and Han Dynasty was full of jubilation. The article also listed the bribery of scholars Wang Xi and Li Tianfu, Shangshu Xiong Yixiao, Zuodu Yushi Jiang Hongdao, and Huguang Governor Nian Yaoling. The chief and deputy examiners of this township examination are Li Pan and Jiang Chenying, so there are rumors that "Lao Jiang has no spicy taste, and Xiao Li has great sweetness" spread among the people. On the third day of the first month of November, the Jiangnan Provincial Imperial Shi Lu Youshu Shen Li Pan, Jiang Chenying and others indulged in private activities. Kangxi ordered Li Pan and others to be severely punished after the retest. On the 28th day of the first month of the 39th year of Kangxi, the Shuntian branch field re-examined and was read by Emperor Kangxi. On the first day of the first month of February, after the re-examination of the Shuntian Science Field, Emperor Kangxi once again sent the university scholars and others to unseal the test papers in front of Jiuqing, according to the determined ranking, and wrote them into the submission. After the palace examination, the original examiner Li Pan was sent outside the pass, and Jiang Chenying died of illness in prison.
This matter originally seemed to be an ordinary bribery case, but at that time, Kangxi handed over the investigation of this case to Yinren, who was the prince at the time, to supervise it, and Yinren was naturally happy to receive the errand, so he asked Yinzhen, who had always supported him, to send someone to investigate thoroughly. At that time, Yinzhen had already established a sticky rod in his hands, and he was also keen to investigate this case of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, so he sent Xiao Shunzi, who had just turned fifteen, to collect evidence of bribery by a group of officials in this matter.
Xiao Shunzi entered Yinzhen's mansion at the age of eight, and when he was nine years old, he was selected to practice martial arts at the sticky pole, and he has been following other older people on missions, and that was the first time he did things alone. I didn't expect this matter to be very deeply involved, and it was vaguely involved in the body of the eldest brother Yinyu. Xiao Shunzi was accidentally discovered by the guards in the mansion when he sneaked into the Yinchu Mansion to listen to the news, and was seriously injured during the fight.
In order not to be discovered, Xiao Shunzi escaped from Yinchu's mansion with injuries and hid in a secluded alley to avoid the pursuers. But by that time he was unable to get up again because of blood loss. Just when he was in danger, he was discovered by "me" who was going out to play and was going to take a shortcut home. At that time, although I was eleven years old, I was not like those weak women in this era, although I was a little scared when I saw Xiao Shunzi covered in blood, but instead screamed and fled, but stepped forward to explore, wiped the blood on Xiao Shunzi's face with a handkerchief, and then helped him to go to the hospital, and worried that he did not have enough money on him, so he gave the bracelet given by his father on his birthday to Lang Zhong in the hospital.
Listening to Xiao Shunzi, he seemed to remember this incident in his mind. I vaguely remember that at that time, "I" was inconvenient for the woman to stay away for a long time, and after doing these things, I left the hospital and went home. After returning home, Geng's mother was really scared and asked what had happened. "I" didn't ask about the injured person at that time, and I didn't dare to say that I had saved a man covered in blood, so I lied to Geng's mother that I had met a poor injured woman and sent her to the hospital, and then took the bracelet to the hospital. Geng's mother is not stingy, I heard that her daughter was not injured and saved people, but it is not a pity for the bracelet, only saying that saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and it is okay if the bracelet is gone. The next day, "I" went to the infirmary to find out that the injured man had been picked up, and it was unclear who had picked him up. That's because "I" was careless, and I didn't get to the bottom of it carefully, and this matter passed.
"In fact, after the master left, the people at the sticky pole found the slave that night, and when they left, the slave asked them to bring this bracelet over. Xiao Shunzi said.
After that incident, because Xiao Shunzi was seen by the guards in Yinzhen's mansion, it was inconvenient to send out to do errands, so he was left by Yinzhen and became a shadow to protect him.
Xiao Shunzi saw me again in the winter of Kangxi's forty years, that is, the year I came to this era, Yinzhen met me on the street and followed me to the broken temple when he saw me save the little girl, he followed Yinzhen.
At that time, I didn't know that Yinzhen and him were following me, but he recognized me at a glance. In the past two years, he always thinks of the girl who suddenly appeared in the cold wind to give warmth and help, and he also tried to inquire about the whereabouts of "me", but how difficult it is to find an unknown little girl in the vast sea of people, especially after the year "I" was seriously ill in bed until I appeared.
People sometimes think about something and someone will form an obsession, and the bright eyes that he saw in despair touched his young heart. The thirst for emotions in adolescence has nothing to do with physiology, but is just the most primitive instinct of human beings. Originally, when I didn't see him, I just remembered it from time to time, but when I saw it again, I didn't want to miss the opportunity to meet again. Xiao Shunzi regarded the initial feelings as a mentality of repaying gratitude.
"In fact, although the emperor left the broken temple that day, the slave did not leave, and saw the ninth master all the time, and then followed him to the master's residence. Xiao Shunzi kept his head down from beginning to end, and he said lightly: "After that, people often pay attention to the master's movements, so the intersection between the master and the ninth master, the slaves are all known." ”
I listened calmly to Xiao Shunzi's words, and did not stir up any emotional waves because of his words. Thinking about it carefully, at the beginning of entering the mansion, he knew that I had a relationship with Yinzhen but did not hesitate to hide it from Yinzhen, so you can judge that he must have known about these things for a long time.
I didn't interrupt his narration, and silently thought about what happened to protect Yinzhen as a shadow to protect Yinzhen, and Yinzhen would not easily put a person like him next to a lowly concubine to be a rough slave, what happened later to make Yinzhen have such an arrangement.
"Actually, the slave didn't expect to be placed next to the master. Xiao Shunzi continued: "Just because the master really entered the emperor's eyes and heart at that time, the emperor had the idea of accepting the master into the palace." So at that time, the emperor asked for the master's birthday to be approved, but he didn't expect the result of the approval to make the emperor have to pay attention to it, so just in case, he decided to send someone to serve and protect him after the master entered the palace. At that time, many people felt that this errand was too lowly, and most of them reluctantly waited for the arrangement, but the minions thought it was a good errand, so they accepted it voluntarily. ”
"What is the result of the approval?" I have lived for two lifetimes, and some things are false, but I always feel that the birth of the eight characters is a mysterious and mysterious thing, and there are too many charlatans who may not be able to count, but now I suddenly heard Xiao Shunzi mention that the birth of his body master made Yinzhen pay attention to it to the point of sending someone to protect it, but I think this eight-character must be related to Yinzhen's ambition.
Sure enough, Xiao Shunzi thought about it and said: "The fortune teller's face changed when he got the birth date and the emperor's eight characters, only to say that these eight characters were originally people who should have died a long time ago, but now they are still alive and well, but they are indefinite numbers, and the emperor's eight characters are compared, and it has become a sign of "living in the dead, which is unspeakably expensive". He also said that because the master is the number of lives that can be revived, he is destined to have many disasters and difficulties in half his life, but it can be interpreted as a phoenix bathing in fire, but there are too many variables to be determined. As long as the emperor keeps the master by his side, the emperor can 'get his help and make his wishes come true', on the contrary, if the master has any accidents, then the emperor's wish will be disappointed, and he is destined to not sit in this position. ”
"The person you're talking about can't happen to be the blind man in the capital, right?" I asked with a sneer, getting Xiao Shunzi's acquiescence. This Luo blind man is also the fortune teller who gave Hongli a fortune teller, this person is ostentatious, it is said that he has real skills, usually many dignitaries and dignitaries will find him to divinate and calculate, even Kangxi is very convinced of him, I didn't expect him to really be able to approve the fate of "dead and alive" in these eight characters. I didn't expect Yinzhen to have a relationship with him so early, and it is no wonder that he later said to Kangxi that the eight characters of Hongli are "the pattern is clear, and it is natural to generate wealth and happiness".
I don't know whether to be happy or ashamed at this time, I originally thought that Yinzhen's kindness to me over the years was purely because he really liked me, but I didn't expect it to still have a purpose, if it weren't for such a bag, would he still care so much about and indulge me.
Thinking of this, I suddenly realized that now Yinzhen's foundation is not stable, if he really believes in Luo Blind Zi's fate, then transfer Xiao Shunzi at this time, aren't you afraid that I will have a mistake that will be bad for him?
"Father-in-law Su is in charge of the sticky rod, right? Will the person sent tomorrow also be at the sticky rod?" I asked, according to Yinzhen's brain circuit, the person sent by Su Peisheng tomorrow may not be an ordinary eunuch.
"The master doesn't have to worry, when the master and the emperor were talking in the house, Father-in-law Su had already said to the slave outside that the slave brought over by Ming was called Xiao Duozi, and he was the one who was brought up by the slave. Father-in-law Su actually felt sorry for his master, he said that his master had not had a good time over the years, if it weren't for the fact that the slave was too careless and out of proportion, he wouldn't have fallen into other people's ways like this. Remembering that there could be no one who could be used around the master, and he also wanted the slave to do things for the emperor with peace of mind, so he asked for a favor to exchange the apprentice of the slave to come and serve. This kid is smarter than a minion, and is a reliable one. In the future, if the master needs to send a servant to do something outside, he can also let him pass the word. Speaking of this, Xiao Shunzi lost his previous cramped nervousness and said solemnly.
The person Su Peisheng and Xiao Shunzi fancy together must be safe, and now that he heard Xiao Shunzi say that he could communicate with the outside through him, the worry about the future in his heart was much lighter.
I put the handkerchief and bracelet back and handed them back to Xiao Shunzi, and said to him softly: "These two things have been with you for so many years, and now I will leave it to you as a thought, and take good care of yourself in the future." You don't have to worry about me, just have someone who can talk reliably, but I won't embarrass you if it's not a big deal. ”
Xiao Shunzi stepped forward with his head and took the thing back into his arms, his expression was relieved and grateful. He opened his mouth and said, "What does the master plan to do with the matter of the Li family framing the master?"
Getting back to the point, the smile was still full of coldness, and he said coldly: "Originally, I didn't think that I could deal with the Li family so easily, after all, she entered the palace early and had to be favored for ten years, the emperor still has to take care of some old feelings, and since the queen mother can put me together before she dies, she will inevitably protect the Li family, so even if the Li family has no weight in the emperor's heart, she can't easily move her half a point in the future." It's just that I'm not an atmospheric person, she moved my people, found my bad luck, and I let her live in fear for the rest of her life - life is better than death. ”
Xiao Shunzi nodded knowingly, bowed to his knees, and said, "The slave knows what to do, please rest assured." ”
Wan Qingxian said
In this chapter, except for the Suncheon bribery case, which is true, everything else is fictional. Yongzheng was already in his forties when he was the emperor, and the old people in his dive mansion were all thirty or forty years old, so his harem really had no highlights, so he could only start a virtual plot to open the heroine's protagonist's aura. Do you guess who will be with the heroine in this book until her twilight years at the end?
