Chapter 1100: People's hearts are fickle
When I walked out of the house, I saw hoarfrost in the courtyard, like a piece of white rice paper, and a thin layer of jade shavings on the roof, covering it like a white blanket.
The scenery is beautiful, but the wind blows on the body and it is not beautiful. This frost wind was the most biting, and Yuxi couldn't help but shiver: "It's getting cold again." "The air that came out was white.
Meilan nodded and said, "Yes, it's getting colder and colder every day now." "It's rare for such a cold Heavenly Lord to insist on coming back at night and coming back in the morning. It's just that Meilan didn't dare to say good things about Yunqing in front of Yuxi.
In the morning, Yuxi was reading a book in the house, when she saw Meilan walk in with a smile on her face and said, "Princess, the prince asked someone to bring pastries." ”
Yuxi looked at the food box in Meilan's hand and said, "I'm afraid this pastry is already cold, go hot and send it to Ah Hao and them to eat." "Yuxi also eats pastries, but she eats relatively little, at most two pieces at a time.
Meilan said: "Princess, Xu Huwei said that this was bought by the princess himself and given to the princess to eat. Princess, this pastry is still hot, and you can eat it now. ”
When Yuxi heard this, he said to himself, "This is really the sun coming out of the west." "Except for when she first got married, Yunqing accompanied her to the shop to buy jewelry, and she has never bought anything for her in person over the years, even if she came back from outside and gave her something, it was all bought by the people below. Yuxi knew that he was busy, but he didn't pick a thorn in this matter.
Seeing that Yuxi did not object, Meilan immediately took out the pastry from the food box. I saw that this plate of pastry is like a plum blossom and is golden yellow, and it makes people very appetizing when they look at the appearance.
Yuxi took a piece and took a bite, the entrance was sweet but not greasy, soft and delicious. After eating a piece, Yuxi took another piece and nodded and said, "It tastes good, take it to the prince and the second county lord to taste it!"
Meilan said: "Since the princess thinks it's delicious, let Mother Bai also try it, maybe Mother Bai can make it after eating it!"
Yuxi shook his head and said, "I've eaten a lot of plum blossom cakes, but they haven't been so delicious." If I'm not mistaken, this pastry should have a unique recipe. "Mother Bai has studied cooking skills over the years, and the dishes she makes are getting better and better, but this pastry is lacking in craftsmanship, and it is difficult for her to make such exquisite pastries. Yuxi didn't want to embarrass her.
When Meilan heard this, she said with a smile: "It's really rare that such delicious pastries have been found by the prince." ”
Yuxi chuckled, but it was just a plate of pastries that she wanted to dissipate her anger: "Busy with your go!"
As soon as Yuxi picked up the book, Zi Jin came in: "Princess, there is a letter from Jiangnan." After speaking, he gave the two letters in hand to Yuxi.
These two letters, one was written by Yang Duoming and the other was written by Han Jianming. Yang Duoming mainly talks about Liu Yi's assassination and being rescued by Yu Cong's concubine. Han Jianming's letter is all about government affairs and the reaction of officialdom and the literati to next year's scientific expedition, and he did not say a word about the Liu family.
Yuxi put the letter on the table and chuckled, "It's funny." "The Liu family was hunted down and killed, and they happened to be saved by Yu Cong's concubine, how can there be so many coincidences in this world!
Zijin didn't speak.
Yuxi thought for a moment and asked, "Where is Yu Cong's wife Lin now?" It has been more than a month since the Lin family went to Jiangnan, but Yang Duoming did not mention her in the letter, which shows that the Lin family has not reached Jiangnan at this time.
Zijin really didn't know about this.
Yuxi said: "You go and ask Yu Zhi, he should know." "Yu Zhi had never done intelligence work before, and now it will take a long time to take over the intelligence system. So Yu Zhi was still following Xu Wu in the palace, and did not follow Yuxi to Hejiazhuang.
When Zi Jin turned around, Yu Xi stopped her again: "By the way, ask Yu Zhi, see if the prince has received a letter from Jiangnan today?" Since the Liu family lives in Yu Cong's mansion, I believe that Yu Cong will not stand by and watch this matter, and will definitely write to Yun Qing about it.
Zi Jin nodded and said, "Okay." She only did what she was told, and didn't ask much why.
By the afternoon, Yuxi knew why the Lin family had not yet arrived in Jiangnan. The reason is very simple, Lin fell ill and is still recuperating in Luzhou!
Yuxi smiled and said, "It's really a pity to be sick. "If the Lin family goes to Jiangnan, now Yu Cong is afraid that he will not be in the mood to care about the Liu family's idle affairs.
Zi Jin said: "Princess, Ah Zhi said that in the past two days, there have been many official letters and excerpts in Jiangnan, but the letter was only received by the eldest uncle. "Han Jianming is Yuxi's eldest brother, and he will definitely not do anything unfavorable to Yuxi.
Yuxi hummed and said, "I know." ”
The next morning, Yunqing had another pastry delivered. Yuxi looked at the pastry sent this time in the shape of the navel of the "King Kong" statue in the temple, and said with a smile: "This pastry looks a little interesting. ”
Meilan said: "I asked the person who came, and he said that this pastry is called Huishan puff pastry, which is made of vegan oil, refined flour, sesame seeds, nuts, melon shreds and other raw materials, and is baked. ”
Yuxi smiled and said: "No wonder this pastry is so exquisite, it turns out that the master is from Jiangnan." After saying that, he took a piece and ate it. After eating, I nodded, this pastry is crispy and sweet, sweet and salty, and the taste is very unique.
At noon, Brother You couldn't help but complain to Yuxi: "Mother, Dad is too stingy, just two pieces are not enough for me to stuff my teeth." "If you want to send more, send more!
Yuxi smiled and said, "Don't you like to eat pastries? What, now the taste has changed?"
Brother You said: "It's not that my taste has changed, but this pastry is too delicious." Mother, let Dad buy more!" he wanted to eat all at once, but he didn't want to be like now, just after getting the taste, it was gone.
Yuxi poked Brother You'er's forehead with his finger and said, "What did my mother tell you? You can only eat two pastries at a time in the morning and afternoon, and no more can be eaten." "Pastries are sweet, and eating too much of this sweet and greasy thing is not good for your teeth. However, the four brothers have never been very fond of sweet and greasy things. It's jujubes, and I like sweets very much.
Brother You muttered, "Then it's better not to eat it!"
When Yuxi heard this, he immediately said, "Then don't eat it." "She doesn't want her child to eat more sweets!
Brother You'er immediately shut up. If there is any new pastry, you can't eat it and drool on the sidelines!
In the evening, the palace sent something over. But this time it's not a pastry, it's a pot of camellias. This pot of camellia is deep red, and the red color is particularly festive.
Meilan whispered: "Princess, this flower is so beautiful. "Now in addition to the green pine, which is still green, the outside has long been withered and yellow, and this red flower is extremely rare.
She is not a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, a few pastries and a pot of flowers can make her heart bloom. Yuxi said lightly: "Put it in the study!" A few children are tired of writing at night, and it is good to look at the flowers.
In the evening, Yunqing came over and asked Meilan: "That flower, does the princess like it?" Yunqing doesn't know this kind of trick to please people, it is Xu Daniu's suggestion.
Meilan shook her head and said, "Then the princess of flowers has been placed in the study." Seeing Yunqing's disappointed face, Meilan said: "But the princess likes the pastry very much, and the princess has eaten a lot." ”
Yunqing's expression eased a lot.
Meilan said: "Lord Wang, it's always unsafe to buy things outside. I wonder if I can buy this recipe, or ask this master to work as an errand in the house?"
Yun Qing hummed and said, "I will send someone to do this." "He goes out early and returns late, and he rarely meets Yuxi. Even if they met, Yuxi was cold and indifferent to him. This made Yunqing regret it even more while being frustrated.
When Brother You saw Yunqing, he couldn't help but complain: "Dad, there are too few pastries you sent, I only ate two pieces and there are no more." ”
Yun Qing didn't get angry, but said with a smile: "When you go back to the palace, you can eat as much as you want." ”
Brother You thinks that Zhuangzi is very good, and he is free here. It's just that he didn't dare to say this, otherwise he would definitely be scolded.
The next day, Yunqing returned to the palace. Xu Wu handed him a letter and said, "Lord Wang, Yu Cong's letter." "Yu Cong's letter came with the official letter, so it was a little slower than Yang Duoming's.
Yunqing opened the letter, and his face was very ugly after reading it.
Xu Wu asked, "Lord Wang, what did Yu Cong say in the letter?" It is estimated that it is not a good word, otherwise the prince would not have such a look.
Yun Qing said: "Yu Cong said that the princess sent someone to hunt down the Liu family, and the Liu family met his concubine Aunt Huang on the way to escape. Aunt Huang rescued the Liu family and brought it back to Yufu. ”
Xu Wu has been in charge of intelligence work for many years, and he has also listened to the secrets of many officials' families. Hearing this, Xu Wu frowned, but he heard that the Liu family was very beautiful, so Aunt Huang was not afraid of luring the wolf into the room if she brought the Liu family back. However, Xu Wu cared about the brotherhood for many years and did not say this.
Yun Qing frowned and said to Xu Wu: "Yu Cong said that he has already found out, the assassin who assassinated the Liu clan is from Ho City, you go and check what is going on?"
Xu Wu came back to his senses and said, "Lord Wang, this assassin is definitely not sent by the princess. If the princess wants to kill the Liu family, she doesn't have to wait until now. ”
Yunqing said: "I know that it was not the princess who did it, I am afraid that someone framed me and wanted to separate me from the princess." Yunqing knew very well in his heart that Yuxi was so angry that he wanted to reconcile with him because he thought that he didn't care about her and didn't have her in his heart. And Liu's and Yuxi's didn't pay attention to it at all. In this case, how could Yuxi assassinate the Liu family in one more move. Moreover, Yuxi really wanted to kill the Liu family, so he directly ordered Yang Duoming to send assassins so troublesomely.
At this time, Fu Minglang asked to see him.
Xu Wu left the study and went to Huo Changqing's courtyard and told him about the assassin's assassination of the Liu family.
After Huo Changqing listened, he frowned and went to find Yunqing. Knowing that Yunqing was talking to someone, he didn't bother. He didn't enter the house until Yunqing finished dealing with things.
Yun Qing was a little surprised, and asked, "Uncle Huo, if there is anything you ask someone to tell me, I will just go over." ”
Huo Changqing shook his head and said, "Xu Wu told me just now that Yu Cong wrote to say that it was Zao Zao and his mother who assassinated the Liu family. ”
Yunqing shook his head and said, "Yuxi wouldn't do such a thing. I'll definitely find out who is behind this scene. ”
Huo Changqing said: "You don't need to check, it's me who sent someone to assassinate the Liu family." Those two people were selected by Guo Xun from Zhuangzi. ”
Yun Qing didn't expect that the mastermind behind this scene turned out to be Huo Changqing, and immediately asked, "Why did Uncle Huo kill the Liu family?"
Huo Changqing said: "Over the years, except for the Liu family, you have not made any other mistakes, so there must be something wrong with this Liu family." Without waiting for Yunqing to speak, Huo Changqing continued: "Although the two people selected by Guo Xun are not the best in their group, they are also outstanding in all aspects, but they failed to assassinate the Liu family? Do you know what this means?"
Yun Qing's face changed slightly, and he said, "Uncle Huo, what do you mean by the Liu family?" After speaking, he shook his head again and said: "Impossible, I sent someone to check, the Liu family's past is very simple, he has been learning the piano all these years, and he has not been involved in other things." ”
Huo Changqing said: "What you see with your own eyes may not be true, let alone what you just heard." ”
Yun Qing didn't refute this.
Huo Changqing said: "There is one thing that Xu Wu didn't tell you, Yu Cong recommended the matter of the Liu family to you, and he asked Xu Wu to help him hide from your daughter-in-law." Xu Wu didn't tell Yunqing about brotherhood, but Huo Changqing didn't think so. Since Yu Cong did this, it is impossible for them to protect him for the sake of the old love. In this way, it is very dangerous for Yunqing. In Huo Changqing's eyes, Yunqing was naturally more important than Yu Cong.
Yun Qing looked surprised, he really didn't know about this: "Why did Yu Cong do this?"
Huo Changqing said: "Because he has a ghost in his heart." He has lived and died with you for so many years, so he naturally won't think much about his recommendation of the Liu family. But your daughter-in-law is a thoughtful person, she will not gently expose this matter, and will definitely send someone to investigate. "As long as you check, Yu Cong will be exposed.
Yun Qing said without thinking about it: "Impossible, I don't believe that Yu Cong will betray me." ”
Huo Changqing shook his head and said, "Such a short period of time will not make him betray you and take refuge in the imperial court." I guess he's been taken advantage of. ”
Yun Qing remembered what happened in Jiangnan and said, "His two concubines should also have problems. "It's only the people who blame him for not checking carefully, and they missed any news.
Huo Changqing said with a cold face: "I won't talk about the previous things, just today's letter." His letter is clearly trying to sow discord between you and your daughter-in-law. After all these years in Ho City, didn't he know that your daughter-in-law was your greatest help? He knew, but he still wrote this letter. "This kind of seed is enough to show that Yu Cong has a problem.
Yun Qing asked Xu Wu, who was standing on the side silently, and said, "Ah Wu, what do you think about this?"
Xu Wu was silent for a long time, and said what he said before: "Yu Cong, he has changed. ”
Yun Qing remembered what Xu Wu had said to him last time, and his face was very ugly. Yu Cong may not have betrayed him, but he was selfish, otherwise he wouldn't have made so many small moves.
In fact, Huo Changqing also sighed a little, but it has only been more than half a year since Jiangnan passed, and it made Yu Cong seem to be a different person.
