"So, Sister Fei won't go to Quanzhou in the future?" Chan Yi leaned sideways and let Xie Feiyun sit beside her, and asked softly.
"Well," Xie Feiyun nodded, stretched out his hand and picked up a very beautiful peanut cake placed on a sweet white porcelain plate on the table, and said casually: "Father returned to Yunfu to report on his work after the three-year release period, but his father said that he may not be transferred back to Yunfu as a hall official, you also know that the flood in Quanzhou is relatively strict, and his father is not at ease. β
She has also heard of the flood in Quanzhou, in the previous life, she was grounded at home, there was no way to go out, Jinping around her often went out to inquire about the news, saying that it seemed that there were displaced people fleeing from Fujian, during that time in Yunfu City, as long as there were some face-staking people would set up a soup soup porridge shed, and she had not shown up because of the grounding, Aunt Yan handed over the matter to Xian Yi to manage, Xian Yi's reputation has been better in Yunfu since then, and the people who come to ask to marry have been continuous, but her identity is just a concubine, and the people who come to marry are all poor families, and she can't look down on any of them, so they are all shelvedγ
Chanyi supported her chin with a book, her eyes turned to Xie Feiyun, and the corners of her mouth were bent.
"Look at you, as soon as you say it, you have an official tone, tsk, you really have seen the world with your uncle......" Chanyi couldn't help but joke when she saw Xie Feiyun talking about the truth, but she was knocked on the head before she finished speaking.
Xie Feiyun glared at her, "It's not big or small, it's been two or three days since I've been back, and you don't know how to come to my house to pay a New Year's greeting to me, and I have to come to see you in person, and you dare to be poor!"
Chanyi was knocked on the head by her and laughed, she was close to Xie Feiyun in her previous life, since Xie Feiyun went to office with her uncle, she went for three years, and when Xie Feiyun came back, she married Zhu Xuan, the new champion, and then stayed in the Hanlin Academy for a year and was released to Huguang, until three years later Xie Feiyun followed Zhu Fei back from work, she was married, the two got together less and left more, and they were no longer as close as they were when they were children, and they were still so good in this life, which made her feel really good.
Xie Feiyun saw that Chanyi's smile had a lot of astringency that she was not familiar with, thinking of some things she heard from her grandmother, her voice lowered, her finger pointed at Chanyi's neck, and her words were worried: "Does your injury still hurt?"
Chanyi smiled and shook her head, "It's much better, it hurt a lot when I was injured just now." β
"You are too bold! If you want to cut Gu Kui's neck, how can you use a knife against yourself?" Xie Feiyun looked at her disapprovingly, thought of something, and said softly: "But when it comes to Gu Kui's words...... A few days ago, I followed my mother to Gu's house to attend Mrs. Gu's funeral, Gu Kui's appearance was like a frosted eggplant, and others said that the reason for Mrs. Gu's death was all different, and they all had a smile on their faces when they looked at the Gu family. β
Xie Feiyun has a hearty temperament, but she is careful, and she looks like a steady and self-contained sister in front of outsiders, that is, she will reveal her true temperament in front of her.
It's just that even if this matter is true, the Gu family is still noble, the emperor let Ning Guogong go to Chuangui, it seems that it is rising and descending secretly, but how can it not have the intention of preserving the Gu family, if you are too carried away at this time, maybe the situation will take a sharp turn.
Chanyi took the tea on the brocade screen and put it in front of her, "You just know it in your heart, how can you say something that can be pierced, the clouds have not been peaceful recently, you are somewhat restrained." β
Xie Feiyun lightly stuck out his tongue, put the peanut crisp in his hand into his mouth, and said vaguely: " I still have so many scruples with you, I am not tired, but then again, there are really not many guests who went that day, at least if it is put in the past, there is a red and white wedding in the Ningguo Mansion, and the flowing water banquet will be set up for three days, but the people who came on the day of the funeral are less than a hundred tables, and some of them are not courteous. β
Hearing this, Chanyi frowned and said, "Is she very sick?"
Xie Feiyun nodded, "Hmm...... How to say it, it can be described in four words, Gu Linlin's spirit is very poor, she looks like she is very sick, as if a gust of wind can blow it away. β
It stands to reason that Gu Linlin is a concubine, and Mrs. Gu is a ruthless mother-in-law, with a compassionate heart on her face, but behind her is an inhuman form that can grind a concubine, Mrs. Gu is dead, Gu Linlin will not be sad like this.
"Is there anything else strange about that?" Chan Yi hurriedly asked again, "How does Ning Guogong look?"
Xie Feiyun raised her eyes and flew the whites of her eyes, "I was asked to restrain just now, why are you asking again?" She glanced at her angrily, and continued: "My mother and I went to the funeral in the past, so I was embarrassed to keep staring at these things in the master's house, but I secretly glanced at Ning Guogong's appearance, and it didn't look very good." β
Ning Guogong and Mrs. Gu are not very harmonious, otherwise the backyard would not be so restless, Mrs. Gu died, Ning Guogong would only feel relieved, after all, this kind of thing happened in his own house, and he was fined forty canes by the emperor, if Mrs. Gu is still alive, I am afraid that this matter will accompany Gu Mansion for decades.
But why did Gu Linlin get sick like that......
Chan Yi will feel that her brain power is limited, and she doesn't know where to start at all, if Chu Shaoyuan is also here at this time, you can hand it over to him to investigate, so that you can definitely find out some things in the Gu family's back house, and sometimes it is these little things that determine the overall situation.
But now Chu Shaoyuan's life and death are uncertain, and there is not even a person around her who can be used......
"Hey... Late ......" Xie Feiyun stopped talking again.
Chanyi looked at her and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"My cousin's mother's family Ming'er is going to move to Jiutiao Hutong, Ming'er's mother and the third aunt went over to help celebrate the housewarming, and today I came with my mother to send a post to my aunt," Xie Feiyun pushed her and winked, "You can go too, it just happens that there are many people and lively." β
"Cousin?" Chanyi was still thinking about Chu Shaoyuan, and didn't recall Xie Feiyun's words, and asked, "Which cousin?"
Xie Feiyun rolled his eyes helplessly, "Are you hurting your neck and not knowing your brain? Of course, it's Sister Jin's mother, grandmother said that my cousin's family is going to come to Yunfu before the second dragon looks up in February, saying that my grandfather will also come to Yunfu, my cousin has been buying a house for a while, and finally picked a four-entry house, which is in Jiutiao Hutong, which is also close, although the yard is not as good as the house, but Yunfu City is expensive, and then make other plans when it settles down, and then make other plans when it settles down. β
Chanyi came to her senses at this time, talking about the Zhu family, the mother mother and grandmother's maiden family, the descendants of the Zhu family have been hidden in the city for decades since Emperor Wuzong, and now they are finally going to be released......
In fact, it's no wonder that she didn't immediately think that it was the Zhu family, she was still grounded at this time in the previous life, she couldn't participate in any banquets, and when she lifted the grounding, these things became a thing of the past, one was that she was in a very low mood at that time, and she didn't have the heart to care about these side things, and the other was that her mother passed away, and her reputation in Yunfu was gradually publicized by Aunt Yan a little unbearable, and these relatives were not very willing to let their daughter be with her, so they slowly broke off contact.
Chanyi nodded, "I'll go with my mother tomorrow." β
"Then it's decided," Xie Feiyun smiled and brought the tea to drink, moistened his throat and sighed, "It's a pity that Cousin Chen is not here, my eldest brother has been back for several days, and no one has accompanied him to practice martial arts, so it's boring." β
Chanyi had a smile on her face, the eldest cousin Xie Pianyun was both civil and military, if it weren't for the fact that the Xie family had always been a literary heirloom, maybe he would have been able to take the exam for a martial arts champion and come back, he has always been good friends with his eldest brother, and he has grown up together since childhood, which no one can compare.
She smiled: "When my eldest brother comes back from the northwest, they will have kung fu to practice martial arts together, and it is estimated that they will have to get tired of watching it every day." β
Xie Feiyun nodded, looking like this, "If they get together, they will be fresh at first, and they will have to fight non-stop in a few days, I remember that a few years ago, the two of them fought in my grandfather's study, and accidentally broke my grandfather's Chengni inkstone, and my angry grandfather kicked my eldest brother to Quanzhou, and it has been three years now......"
Speaking of childhood anecdotes, it is always hilarious, that is Xia Mingchen when he was twelve years old, the two young men listened to the grandfather tell the story of the founding emperor in the grandfather's study, and there was a dispute, no one refused to take a step back, the result of the argument between the two parties was that the grandfather's favorite party Chengni inkstone was accidentally touched, at that time the grandfather was still holding his beard and smiled gently, who knew that after that, he asked the uncle to pack and take the cousin to the office, and the eldest brother was beaten by his father with a bamboo plank.
Chanyi smiled, "Later, the eldest brother had to take it to his grandfather whenever he got the Chengni inkstone, and he said that if he broke his grandfather's good inkstone, he would compensate his grandfather for all the good inkstones he had got." β
"Actually, where is my grandfather angry that the two of them broke the inkstone," Xie Feiyun remembered what happened back then, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, "According to my grandfather's original words,' Two little rabbit cubs, don't read the official history, what wild history miscellaneous books do you want to read, Emperor Mingzu's great achievements, he was written as a villain by the thief, Emperor Jing's rule, the eunuchs were in power, and the people were too heavy to pay taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the people were not bored, Emperor Mingzu rose up in accordance with the way of heaven, even if the means used were not very bright, but it was the people who really benefitedγ So the eldest brother was kicked to Quanzhou by his grandfather. β
