Chapter 43: A New Home (2)

Yi Ying led them to the hot springs. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When she saw this hot spring, Yi Zhen couldn't help but show envy: "The second aunt is too good to you, even the hot springs are available." ”

Yiying hurriedly prevaricated: "This is not dug now." This is the Queen Mother in the early years for her mother to dig, said that after giving birth to me, the body was weak, and soaking in this hot spring will help to recover. ”

Yi Zhen gently twisted her: "Good guy, you can take advantage of any advantage." With a worried little face, he said: "Why doesn't our family have such a ready-made yard, I will definitely move over happily." ”

Seeing Yiying's smile, she had a flash of inspiration and joked: "In the future, I will come to live as soon as I have time, you say, do you agree?"

"Okay, welcome at any time. Yi Ying curled the corners of her mouth, "Look at so much land in this wooden garden, just take a straw mat and let you sleep for one night." ”

Yi Zhen was stunned for a moment, and reacted that Yi Ying was also joking with her, and couldn't help but get a little closer in her heart and frolic with her.

After a while, Yiying heard a weak voice sound: "Ying...... Sister Ying, can I ......" The words were stuck somewhere, as if they didn't dare to continue.

Yi Ying turned her head and saw that Yi Xiao, the second lady of Dongfu, was looking at her pitifully, with anticipation.

Along the way, everyone else was talking and laughing, only Yichen had been silent, Yixiao was few words and introverted, occasionally responding to a few words, and the voice was so small that it was inaudible......

Seeing her expression, she unconsciously slowed down her voice: "Sister Xiao, there is something, but it doesn't hurt to say it." He gave her an encouraging look.

Yixiao mustered up her courage at this time, and her voice was slightly louder than usual: "It's not that this hot spring can nourish the body, I want to ......" She rubbed her clothes, blushed and said, "Can you let my mother come here to take a dip......"

Yiying was stunned, and it took a long time to react, Yixiao was talking about the sick Zhou.

Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, Yixiao couldn't help but get nervous.

"This is the county lord's hot spring, you have to be blessed to use it, and my mother is not afraid to ...... when she comes" Xue Yitong opened his mouth coolly beside him, his tone full of unprecedented malice.

Yi Ying came back to her senses, hurriedly interrupted Yi Tong's words, and smiled apologetically: "Of course you can." I'm sorry I thought of something else. ”

Yitong nodded a little shyly when he heard this, and his expression relaxed a lot.

Yi Zhen glared at Yi Tong beside her. The latter looked away as if nothing had happened, not knowing the slightest mistake.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. They are well managed in all the rooms of the East Mansion, but the fourth uncle who is the only one is in the house...... said that he spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, there were always five or six days in January, and the wind and rain continued, saying that his inner courtyard was clean, but he spoiled an aunt and her daughter, which made the fourth aunt depressed all day long, and the second sister became more and more cautious, without a little sister-in-law......

She thinks that most of Zhou's illness is still heart disease, and the bell must be tied to the bell, but on her fourth uncle's side, she can't see it clearly.

Yiying was pondering: she remembered that in her previous life, the Zhou family had always been weak and sickly, and after getting Yixiao's daughter, she did not give birth to a boy, her status in the fourth room was very low, and she was not very energetic, and her lifeless appearance made her remember it in her mind as soon as she saw it, and she couldn't forget it.

Such a person who has no will to live, but he has not lost his life when he is sick, and it is also a torment to think about, I think there is still a trace of concern for this daughter who has not left the cabinet.

This Yixiao is also a good one, although he is shy, but he is full of filial piety, and he never forgets his sick mother anywhere......

She couldn't help but glance at the radiant Yitong. The fourth uncle probably loved the concubine very much, so she dared to be so rude to her mother-in-law, even with her intentions, I am afraid that she would not be less bullied on weekdays.

After looking at the bamboo building again, the group entered the hall to rest. The maids put melons and fruits on the table that had already been set up, all of which were freshly made from the best pastry shops in Beijing, and they were very refreshing to eat.

After eating a few bites of horseshoe cake, Yi Zhen pulled her to sit on the side of the small table, and said in a low voice, "Did the uncles come to find the second uncle yesterday?"

Yiying nodded: "What's wrong?"

"And do you know how they decided in the end?"

Yi Ying was stunned: "What to decide?"

Yi Zhen's eyes widened, "You don't know?"

"Is it related to what you told about Mrs. Huang's visit to the second uncle and grandmother?" Yi Ying thought for a while and said.

"That's right. Yi Zhen nodded again and again, and whispered: "I heard my grandmother say that it seems to be related to the dam that my second uncle is building in Huguang, and the dam seems to be a little problematic......

Yiying was taken aback. Isn't there something wrong with the dam that my father was responsible for? Wouldn't the Holy One have to blame it? She frowned and calmed down, no, she had never heard of such a thing in her previous life......

She remembered that at this time in her previous life, there was indeed a case, but it was not a water conservancy, it was a matter of many officials in Xue Jingran's party who were exposed to corruption...... It's just that this incident doesn't seem to shake Xue Jingran's political status much, and all he caught is a few small shrimps.

Speaking of which, she didn't believe it, Xue Jingran has been the actual "prime minister" for more than ten years, and has cultivated countless henchmen, but only a few small shrimps are not clean?

I don't know if these two things are related, so let's think about my father's business first.

She remembered that she went to the palace to see the Empress Dowager Gao that day, and the emperor seemed to have mentioned this matter, but her face at that time was not very ugly, and nothing major happened to her. But the four brothers of the Xue family actually gathered together to discuss this matter, which shows its importance, perhaps, the emperor has not found out yet?

It's just that this has something to do with Xue Jingran, she couldn't help but be confused in her heart, so she began to ask Yi Zhen about the ins and outs of the matter.

Yiying only then realized that the construction of the dam this time was not based on the Ministry of Engineering, but all at the disposal of a royal history of the Imperial Palace, except for the original work drawings and manpower collection provided by the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Industry did not occupy any rights at all.

She couldn't help but sneer in her heart, and in this way, it was obvious. Inexplicably, if something happens to a layman who is in charge of building a dam, either the layman does not know what is going on and does the construction indiscriminately, or it is more serious, cutting corners, and greedy for ink and silver.

Then the people of the Huang family came to the door, presumably to push the blame to the Ministry of Industry, so that the father could come forward to take the responsibility and protect his family.

How can there be such a cheap thing? Let them take advantage of the benefits, and in the end, let irrelevant people take the blame......

"You say, will the second uncle be guilty?" Yi Zhen blinked her eyes, and her face was a little worried. At present, the power of the crown prince is too great, and most people in the court probably dare not oppose him......

Yiying smiled: "Probably not." ”

"Really?" Yi Zhen was surprised, she originally wanted to ask for some news from Yi Ying, but she didn't know anything about it, and she didn't care about political affairs. At this time, she answered in such a positive way, which couldn't help but make her a little confused.

"According to my father's character, he would not let the princelings take advantage of him so easily, so he could only back down and bite off a piece of their skin. She smiled calmly, reassured.

According to the results of her previous life, the matter of the dam did not make a lot of trouble, and the corruption scandal of Xue Jingran was indeed known to everyone, and she believed that there must be a shadow of her father in it. The people of their Xue family are all tough, where is it so easy to be bullied by a group of ministers and have no power to fight back?

Yi Zhen nodded when she heard this, she really didn't understand this second uncle very well. But he is still the most outstanding person of the Xue family's generation, although he has some light of the lord, but his reputation has also spread all over the country, such a talented person must be arrogant and unwilling to compromise easily. But she was worried in vain.

Yiying took a sip of the fragrance dew, and waved the flower pot in her hand slightly, the corners of her lips slightly hooked. What she wanted to see was the embarrassment of Xue Jingran and his party knocking out their teeth and swallowing blood. At this time, maybe you shouldn't back down.
