55. General

When a fine moon rose in the air, the boats crowded on both sides of the canal were released, and the boatman lifted the cabin, looked at the white-bellied fish in the water in the cabin and sighed: "This is a white-bellied fish, called a white-bellied fish!" ”

He was frowning with a sad face, and his own lady came over and stroked his shoulder and said, "Tomorrow is the fourth day of the new year, let's sell it as soon as possible, and we can get some money back." ”

The boatman nodded helplessly, and let out a long sigh for a while.

Yu Yichen opened the food box, which was full of zongzi and grass that ordinary people love to eat, and it was already cold at this time. He took a zongzi out and looked at it in his hand, and suddenly there was a longing in his heart, a place to return in the night, a desire to return with the girl.

This longing gave birth to another kind of regret in his heart, regret for his own life. For many years, when he survived the pain of illness and the heavy snow in the cold winter, he has never had regrets that fill his chest at this moment.

Now Zhenshu can be a good scopter. Zhao He recruited a few half-grown children to be apprentices, and occasionally did some chores at home, but he didn't have a very good understanding, so he still found time every day to guide Zhenshu. The beloved is like water with slurry, and it still takes a lot of effort to reach that step.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, there is also a calamus pot outside the Funing Hall of the Imperial Palace, and the heavenly master fairy is also painted on the door of the main hall, Li Xuze is still worried, Du Wu wants to use troops in the north, although he has to take a lot of money again, he didn't understand a word. He sighed and said, "I only now know the difficulty of being an emperor. As soon as he said that the Tartars would ask for money, the old guys in the household department would only cry poor in front of me, as long as Du Wu opened his mouth, he could hold up as much as he wanted. It can be seen that they are deliberately deceiving me. ”

Yu Yichen said: "The slave maid thinks that the weight of a country is a soldier, and Du Guogong has some city government, and His Majesty should intervene in to find out his specific situation." ”

Li Xuze shook his head and said, "I don't believe anyone except you." ”

Yu Yichen didn't say a word, and stood with a whisk on the side. Suddenly, I heard Li Xuze say: "General Zhongwu is a fourth-grade, and he still has to be under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council, so I will now send you a mighty general to oversee the army, and go to the north for me to go to the north to go with Du Wu and touch his reality for me, how about it?" ”

Yu Yichen took his robe and knelt down: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

If he is a eunuch, he is a slave. If he is an inspector or governor of Gyeonggi and a mighty general, he is a minister, and if he is, he will call himself a minister.

Yu Yichen said goodbye to Li Xuze and retired, and asked Mei Fudao: "Where is the saint today?" ”

Mei Fu bowed down and said, "I heard that I was rowing on the clear stream outside Zhong Meitang. ”

Yu Yichen was still afraid of the cold wind in May, so he reached out and took the black cloak handed by Mei Fu to cover the eunuch clothes, and took a few little eunuchs to Zhong Meitang.

Queen Wang Ling is also pregnant in May now, and she will naturally not do it again. But it was rare that Concubine Liu and several other concubines intended to go boating on the Huiqing River, and her loneliness had nowhere to be dissipated, so she also put on makeup and stroked her stomach and sat on the shore to watch.

Yu Yichen stopped the palace maids, paced softly to Wang Ling's side, and saw that she seemed to be unintentional about looking at the dragon boat and stirring a bowl of blood swallows there, so he handed it to the palace maid with his fingers and said: "No matter what it is, it will naturally not taste good when it is cold, take it down and change the heat." ”

Wang Ling hadn't seen Yu Yichen for a long time, and at this time he was going to be angry and afraid of scaring him away, so he got up and said, "Help me go." ”

Yu Yichen stretched out his hand to help, and the two of them slowly paced along the clear stream.

Wang Ling waited until she was far away from the palace maids before she hated and said, "Now should I call you Inspector Jade, or Lord Inspector?" ”

Yu Yichen smiled warmly: "Your Majesty has just named me a mighty general." ”

Wang Ling was a little incredulous, stopped and asked, "Is it interesting?" How can you do so many errands? ”

Yu Yichen also stopped, looked at Wang Ling and said: "It's not interesting, but now the situation in the court is like this, if the slave and maid don't come forward, the life of the saint and His Majesty in the palace will also be very sad." ”

Wang Ling shook her head and said, "I was originally a woman with no big ambitions, and I asked you to help me step by step to get to where I am today." Maybe I'm a little ugly now, but if you don't want to set foot in Yanfu Palace for a few months, even if you are a docile rabbit, there will be resentment in your heart. ”

Yu Yichen stared at Wang Ling, she did look a little weird, her stomach was slightly bulging, her face was yellow, and when she was angry, the two grooves at the corners of her lips seemed deeper.

This is the most standard pregnant woman, a woman will gradually become suspicious and sensitive when she is pregnant, and her appearance will become more and more ugly, and this qiē is just because she is pregnant with a child in her belly.

He was tired of the child, and even more tired of such a pretended to be a pregnant woman.

Yu Yichen said softly: "The slave is too busy, and the most important thing for the saint to be careful now is the child in your belly." ”

Wang Ling heard too many such words, and sneered: "Maybe it's just a daughter, why do you have such hopes?" ”

Yu Yichen said in his heart: Maybe it's not bad to have a princess, it will save the courtiers a lot of coveting. But there are still concubines in the harem, and there will always be boys. And Li Xuze's body is the most critical, this already humble and sensitive emperor, under the threat of the strong brothers in the northwest, under the invasion of the northern enemy, under the tiger service of the courtiers, only one eunuch fights with him, how long can he last?

Yu Yichen is just a eunuch, how long can he accompany him.

He saw that Wang Ling was still looking at him, and he opened his lips and said softly: "You are now the mother of this country, and you are about to give birth to the prince of this country, now you should think less and concentrate on raising the baby." ”

Yu Yichen recalled the first time he saw Wang Ling among the three thousand show girls, the show girls stood together in groups of three or five, forming gangs with each other and forming many small groups, women's nature, they looked at each other as, but they were very affectionate together. Wang Ling had no help or faction, standing alone, looking coldly at the lively women in front of him.

She is not pretty, but she is dignified, and there is some irrepressible ambition in her eyes. It will be Emperor Chengfeng and the queen at that time, and the current queen mother like it, and her father was once a very famous Confucian, and her uncle Wang Zhenli was in charge of the military department, and he was an official in the military department for many years and was deeply appreciated by Emperor Chengfeng. Such a woman, if she has her own guidance, may become a help to Li Xuze's side.

After arriving in the East Palace, for a long time, Wang Ling was ambitious, and after his teaching, he was able to lead the beauties of the East Palace very well. Moreover, she is obedient and listens to him.

But for some reason, she gradually became dependent on him, and gradually lost that ambition, and now she is in a high position but wants nothing. Yu Yichen thought that pregnancy would rekindle her fighting spirit, but now that her belly is so big, she is still addicted to the occasional pleasure he gave in the past, and she can't extricate herself from the pleasure that floats on the surface.

He was considering whether to change to an ambitious and obedient woman who would not be confused by himself to sit in the position of the mother of the saint, but Wang Ling only saw incomparable tenderness and pity in Yu Yichen's eyes under his long eyebrows. Her expectations of him and his expectations of her are already different.

Because he remembered that he lost his temper when they parted last time, Zhenshu has always been a little difficult in his heart. On May 18, I packed up early and went out. Only when she left the East Market, she saw Sun Yuan standing at that intersection. Seeing her, he trotted all the way over and saluted: "Miss Song, my father-in-law went out this morning." I specially asked the little one to wait here to inform you, and told you to pause your study in the house. It will take him about three months to return, and he will come to the East Market to see you in person. ”

Zhenshu changed his summer shirt and gauze skirt at the beginning of today, and deliberately wore a jade hairpin on his head, he was a little excited when he heard this, and nodded slightly: "Since this is the case, then I will go home." ”

Sun Yuan said hurriedly: "But my father-in-law said that if you miss him, you can write a letter to him, and give it to the little one, and the little one will send it for you." ”

Zhenshu shook his head: "I don't have any words to write, please go back." ”

Sun Yuan saw that Zhenshu was leaving, so he followed a few steps and said, "Although there are no words to write today, maybe you have something to write tomorrow?" The father-in-law is gone, and the small one is no different in the house, and it will be guarded here every day, if you write a letter, it will be delivered here every day, and the small one will be there. ”

Zhenshu ignored him again and returned to Dongshi. Not long after, I saw people walking out in groups of threes and threes, and some people shouted: "Today, the mighty general went out on the expedition, and I heard that the Son of Heaven was seeing off at the city gate, so we must go to see the dragon face from a distance." ”

Another said: "What a mighty general, but he is just a eunuch, and now he can be a general because of the holy favor, so it can be seen that the son of heaven is also a fool now." ”

Someone pulled his clothes and told him to be cautious, but the man craned his neck and said, "What's the matter, he is a eunuch, can't he say it?" ”

Zhenshu didn't know who they were talking about, but he secretly felt in his heart that maybe the eunuch in their mouth was Yu Yichen. Yu Yichen has an eccentric temperament and can read and piano, but other than that, Zhenshu doesn't know anything about him.

She went back to the framing shop, which was not busy now because of a few apprentices. It was because she went up to the small building in the backyard, and when she went upstairs, she saw Su Shi sitting on a chair outside, holding a cup of tea with a frown. Seeing that Zhenshu came up, he only nodded slightly.

Since the last time he handed over the bundle for Zhang Rui, the Su family has been thrifty, and he refuses to buy new clothes and new ornaments when he is idle, and even vegetables and meat, he refuses to ask Wang Ma to sell fresh ones to use.

Zhenshu sat down beside her, saw that her eyes were blue and black, and her lips were burnt, and asked, "Mother is not feeling well today?" ”

Su Shi raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhenshu, slowly shook his head and said, "The female is not left, there is nothing wrong with this." ”
