Chapter 1122: Death (3)
After waiting for half a month, Yu Cong didn't wait for Feng Dajun's reply to Cui Mo, and he felt a little lost. He didn't expect Feng Dajun and Cui Mo to share his hatred, but the two of them didn't reply to the letter, indicating that they were on Xu Wu's side.
The housekeeper came over and said, "Master, Jingxin Courtyard has been painted, and it is only necessary to add furniture." "Jingxin Courtyard is the largest courtyard in Yu Mansion, and it is used by Yu Cong to get married. However, this name was not taken by Yu Cong, but the second master Liu said that the courtyard where Liu Yi lived at home was called Jingxin Courtyard.
Yu Cong said: "Don't worry about the furniture, all the things that need to be purchased when you get married are neatly arranged." "The furniture and ornaments in the new house, the Liu family is ready, and there is no need to add more.
The steward said, "The things are almost done, and we just need to send the wedding card." "In fact, sending a wedding post is the most important thing.
Yu Cong said: "You have drawn up the list for me." "He'll have to go through the list of guests.
That night, Second Master Liu came to look for Yu Cong again and asked Yu Cong if the two letters had already come to fruition. Hearing that neither Feng Dajun nor Cui Mo replied, Liu Erye was a little disappointed. But in front of Yu Cong, he didn't show it.
The two talked in the study for a long time. When sending Second Master Liu out, Yu Cong had a smile on his face. Obviously, the two had a good conversation this time.
The next day, Yu Cong gave the wedding card to Fang Xing, and said with a smile: "On my wedding day, Brother Fang, you can't be absent." ”
Fang Xing frowned invisibly and said, "Brother Yu, don't blame me for being troublesome, this marriage fact shouldn't be fanfare." ”
Yu Cong said: "A manly man, his words count. I promised to marry Liu as my wife, and I had to do it. ”
Fang Xing said: "Brother Yu, you never thought that the prince would think in his heart when he knew that you married the Liu family?" Although the prince did not touch the Liu family, the Liu family is nominally the prince's woman. Now that Yu Cong is marrying the Liu family as his wife, isn't this sweeping the face of the prince? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if he has no intention of ruining the innocence of the Liu family, a pink sedan chair has already done his best to carry the Liu family into the mansion. After all, Liu Yi, a big girl, has a home and does not return home, and it is suspicious that she has been living in Yufu.
Yu Cong said: "I have already asked the prince about this, and the prince said that he has no intention of Miss Liu, and it has nothing to do with him who Miss Liu wants to marry." Seeing Fang Xing's speechless expression, Yu Cong smiled and said: "Don't talk about this, you must come when I get married, you can't help but give my brother this face." ”
Fang Xing said everything that should be said, and seeing that Yu Cong couldn't listen to it, he didn't want to talk any more nonsense: "I'll go when the time comes." ”
After the two separated, Fang Xing's personal guard Shi Hua couldn't help but say, "General, are you really going to attend this ridiculous wedding banquet?"
Fang Xing shook his head and said, "It's just to deal with him." "He will definitely not go to this wedding banquet, he can't afford to lose that face. Wait until that day, just find a reason to prevaricate.
Shi Hua couldn't understand, and asked: "General, we have all seen this Liu Yi, and it is not a country and a city, so she plays the piano well, why do you fascinate General Yu like this? Yu Cong's behavior made outsiders look at it.
Fang Xing shook his head and said, "There is an old saying that ghosts are confused, and this is Yu Cong's current situation!"
Shi Hua sighed a little: "General Yu is doing this, which is tantamount to self-destruction of his future. "Yu Cong's ability is not outstanding among the generals, and it can even be said that he is very backward. But he has been with Yunqing for more than 20 years, and this kind of affection is not comparable to Fang Xing and others. As long as Yu Cong is not confused, Yunqing will definitely not treat him badly when he wins the world in the future.
Speaking of which, this time Yunqing asked Yu Cong to come to Jiangnan in order to give Yu Cong the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. As a result, the merit did not make much, but the moth did produce a lot.
Fang Xingdao: "That's what he asked for himself." "In fact, if Yu Cong comes to his senses now, there is still a chance to turn back. It's a pity that he himself rushed in and couldn't get out.
People who are acquainted, Yu Cong has sent wedding cards, and even the Governor's Mansion has received wedding cards.
Han Jianming held the big red wedding card, laughed, and said, "Why do you think he has such a big face? He actually sent me a wedding card and invited me to a wedding banquet?" If Yu Cong really marries a wife, it is normal to send a wedding card to Han Jianming. But the problem is that Yu Cong is now a concubine. If you take a concubine, at most set up two tables and invite some acquaintances to liven up, so that you don't even have to invite your boss.
Han Jianming is the governor of Jiangnan and has the largest official position. Yu Cong and Fang Xing are both under the management of Han Jianming. It's just that Han Jianming has no intention of meddling in military power, so he gets along fairly happily with Fang Xing and Yu Cong.
Han Gao said: "Master, do we still want to give that gift?" What kind of flat wife, but a noble concubine, making such a big fanfare and making people laugh.
Han Jianming said: "It's not time to tear your face yet." "Since Yuxi hasn't ordered him to do it yet, then he will live in peace with Yu Cong, so he wants to give this gift.
Han Gao was a little puzzled and asked, "Master, the evidence we have collected from the Liu family is enough for them to recover." Why didn't the princess give the order?"
Han Jianming said: "The princess has her own considerations. In fact, Han Jianming guessed that Yuxi wanted to wait for Yu Cong to marry Liu Yi before making a move. The Liu family is the lackey of the imperial court, how can Yu Cong, who is the son-in-law of the Liu family, escape suspicion. When the princess cures Yu Cong's sins, the hindrance will be much smaller.
Han Gao naturally wouldn't criticize Yuxi: "I couldn't understand the old man's explanation of political affairs to the princess before. Now that I think about it, the old man still has a vision. "The embroidery of the girl's family and the housekeeper have become, and it is useless to understand political affairs. It's a pity that the princess subverted his idea.
Thinking of what happened at the beginning, Han Jianming also felt that it was crooked: "I would explain political affairs to her back then, but I saw that Yuxi was very sensitive to political affairs. Who could have known that she could have such a transformation!" Han Jianming's teaching effect on Yuxi is still obvious, at least Yuxi has a foundation, and he will not be in a hurry when he first comes into contact with government affairs.
Han Gao said with a smile: "The princess can have today, and it is also part of the credit of the master. "Of course, the princess treats her master well.
Han Jianming didn't take credit, and said: "The princess can get to where she is today, all by herself. There's only so much I can do to help. "His goal has always been to revitalize the Han family, and now it is not far from his goal.
Han Gao felt that his master was too modest, and before he could speak, he heard Han Hao say outside: "Master, there is a letter from the house." ”
Every time he received a letter from Han Fu, Han Jianming's face was not very good-looking, and this time was no exception.
Han Gao asked, "Master, could it be that the eldest lady is making trouble again?" Except for the eldest lady making trouble every once in a while, there is nothing else to worry about in the house.
Han Jianming said with a calm face: "The doctor said that the eldest lady is no good. "More than ten years of husband and wife, even if the Ye family has made a lot of trouble over the years, and even affected the relationship between the Han Mansion and the royal house, but now that he knows that the Ye family is going to die, he is still a little sad in his heart.
Han Gao said: "Can't you survive this year?" asked Han Gao to say that the Ye family's death was one less big trouble.
Han Jianming shook his head and said, "It's difficult." After speaking, he did not say more, but picked up his pen and began to write.
After writing the letter, Han Jianming instructed again: "Pick out half of those good medicinal materials in the warehouse and send them to Pickaxe City." "As the governor of Jiangnan, it's easy to get something good.
Han Gao responded: "Okay." ”
It took a lot of effort and a lot of money to find out the details of Xia Jing.
Yuchen saw that Gui's expression was not quite right, and asked, "Mama, what's wrong with you?"
Since instructing Mama Gui to inquire about Xia Jing's news, Yuchen has to ask questions every day. Mama Gui thought about it for a while, knowing that she couldn't hide it if she wanted to: "Niangniang, the person who went to inquire about the news has a reply." ”
Yuchen thought about Mama Gui's expression just now, and suddenly felt not very good: "What about the second girl of the Xia family?"
Mama Gui said softly: "That Xia girl looks like a flower and a moon, but she is a little arrogant. "Arrogance is just a euphemism. In fact, Xia Jing is very tyrannical. beat and scolded the maid in the mansion, at a young age, he already had five or six lives on his hands.
Yuchen is not stupid, how could he believe this: "Mama Gui, you tell me the truth, what is this Xia Jing? Isn't it bad?" She still doesn't know that Zhou Yan is not willing to marry Xia Jing at all, but he is just a puppet, and it is useless to object.
Mama Gui lowered her head and told Yuchen the news she had heard.
Yuchen's face turned white with horror, but a fifteen-year-old girl actually had five lives? After a while, Yuchen asked with a fluke mentality: "Mama, is the news you found untrue? How can you say that she is also a girl from the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites, how can she be so cruel?" But no matter how bad your temperament is, you won't be like a madman, you like to kill!
Mama Gui smiled bitterly and said, "Niangniang, Xia Fu has concealed the news very well. Xia Er's reputation outside, except for some arrogance, is not bad. Naturally, Mama Gui didn't believe the comments outside. She spent a lot of money to pry open the mouth of a mother-in-law who was on an errand in the yard of Miss Xia Er. These things were all said by the woman herself.
Yuchen said: "That woman's words may not be credible. She still hopes that the news is wrong, otherwise she really doesn't know how to meet Zhou Yan.
Mama Gui shook her head and said, "The maids serving around Miss Xia Er change frequently. From the time she was eight years old to now, she has changed five or six times. "The maids who serve around the girl's family are all carefully selected, and normally they will not be sent out unless they get married or make a big mistake. It's normal to change one or two, but it's not normal to change so many times.
Hearing this, Yuchen suddenly walked outside.
Mama Gui hurriedly took Yuchen's hand and said, "Princess, where are you going?"
Yuchen said while struggling: "I'm going to ask him why he chose such a wife for Yan'er with so many good girls." She didn't expect Yan Wushuang to choose a knowledgeable and virtuous person for Yan'er, but at least she had to get by. What is this choosing? Clearly a madman.
Mama Gui hugged Yuchen and said, "Niangniang, you can't go! When the time comes, the prince will be angry, and the emperor will suffer in the end!" Zhou Yan has always been Yuchen's heart disease, and she tries not to mention it on weekdays, so as not to make Yuchen sad.
Yuchen cried very sadly: "What did my Yan'er do wrong? Why did she suffer like this?"
Mama Gui sighed secretly in her heart, the emperor's fault was that he was the heir of the royal Zhou family. The prince hated the Zhou family to death, how could he make the emperor feel better. It is nothing to choose such a crazy woman for the emperor as the queen, I am afraid that in the end, the prince will not let go of the emperor and will kill him. She didn't know if Yuchen would be able to withstand such a blow then.
After crying for a while, Yuchen calmed down and washed again, changed his clothes again, and then took Mama Gui to the front yard to find Yan Wushuang.
After marrying Yan Wushuang for so many years, Yuchen took the initiative to find Yan Wushuang for the first time. has a pair of favored children, and the people below do not dare to slack off, and soon return the matter.
Yan Wushuang raised his eyebrows and said, "Let her in!" Han Yuchen came here to see him, nine times out of ten, it was for Zhou Yan's business, but he didn't know what Han Yuchen was going to say to him.
Yuchen entered the study, and when he saw Yan Wushuang, he asked, "Why did you choose such a queen for Yan'er?"
Yan Wushuang smiled, it was really as he expected: "That second girl Xia is not only beautiful, but also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the second daughter of the Ministry of Rites, is such a girl still wronged Zhou Yan?"
Yuchen said: "At such a young age, more than a dozen lives have been contaminated, how can such a tyrannical, cruel and vicious woman be said to Yan'er?"
Yan Wushuang said indifferently: "Concubine Han thinks too much, but she just killed a few disobedient subordinates, how can she be tyrannical and vicious? Moreover, Zhou Yan has a cowardly temperament, so she should marry a woman with a really hot temperament, so that she can complement each other." ”
Yuchen knelt on the ground, tears rolled down like pearls with broken threads: "Lord Wang, such a woman is not a good match." Lord, please give Zhou Yan a new choice! Don't ask for excellence, nor do you ask for a family, as long as you have a gentle temperament and are knowledgeable. ”
Yan Wushuang readily agreed: "As long as Zhou Yan is willing to change people, I can ask the Ministry of Rites to pick another candidate." "In this way, it will definitely take a lot of effort.
Yuchen didn't expect it to be so easy, and he was stunned for a while. After coming back to his senses, Yuchen wiped his tears and said, "Thank you for your kindness." ”
Yan Wushuang smiled and said, "You thanked you too early. If his guess is right, when Zhou Yan knows the reason, he will definitely not change the candidate.
As Yan Wushuang expected, Zhou Yan really did not agree to change the candidate, his reason is also very simple, the candidate has been announced, if he changes it casually, it will not be a child's play to treat such a major event after the election as a child's play.
After Yuchen found out, he begged Yan Wushuang: "Lord Wang, I want to see the emperor." "A woman like Xia Jing can't marry home no matter what. Otherwise, Zhou Yan will definitely regret it in the future.
Yan Wushuang spoke very well: "Yes." ”
