Where the emergency report was, Taohua knew on the same day, and the news was naturally brought back by Shen Shu.

"The Japanese invaded Fujian again." These pirates are like locusts, and they come once in season. Every spring, when the sea is easy, the coastal areas of Fujian must be vigilant, until the winter, when there is a strong wind on the sea, and the Japanese are considered to be safe.

And the number of these things is also like locusts, they can't be killed and destroyed, one batch has been killed and disabled this year, and another batch will come again next year, which is really a long-term war of resistance that cannot be stopped. General Lu is in the southeast, and he exterminates locusts every year—no, exterminating the Japanese, but he can't do it every year.

Because of this, if there is no major incident, Fujian will not report the invasion of the Japanese to the capital urgently. Just as the Northwest Army fights the Northern Barbarians every year, it does not send emergency reports every time. The emergency report that year was because Fuzhou City was breached and the prefect was seriously injured. So what is the reason for this year?

"Say it......" Shen Shu's expression was strange, "The Fujian Guard went to sea to pursue, and Yu Rui's ship was sunk......"

"Sunk?" Taohua raised her eyebrows, "What about Yu Rui?" ”

"There has been no news so far, it has been ten days." Yu Rui has a high rank, and he is a disciple of the Yu family, and now that there are no people, General Lu did not dare to slack off, and specially sent a messenger to the capital to deliver a letter.

The life-saving equipment in this year is not comparable to Taohua's previous life, not to mention the search and rescue measures, there is no news about the sinking of the ship for ten days, and Yu Rui is ten percent dead.

"Yu Jia, this is ......" What does this mean? Isn't Yu Rui someone that Yu Ge Lao values very much? At first, I wanted him to be in charge of the forbidden army, but then I couldn't see it and sent it to the southeast, why did he suddenly die now?

Shen Shu also raised his eyebrows: "So the princess also thinks that it is the ghost of the Yu family?" ”

Taohua shrugged: "Anyway, I don't believe that Yu Rui would really be born and die like this." If he really dared to work so hard, he wouldn't have been able to kill the good and indulge the wouldn't be able to indulge the Japanese invaders. ”

This shrugging action was not very ladylike, but Shen Shu looked at it with appreciation. Taohua is indeed different from these women of big families, she is at ease with her smile and smile, although she does not flaunt the kind of high that does not eat fireworks in the world, but it has a bit of forest atmosphere. Especially after his eyes recovered, he felt more and more that the person in front of him was as fresh as a blooming flower, and the wind and the sun were warm, bringing out vitality.

"See what I do? Am I wrong? Taohua was a little uncomfortable by him, and subconsciously looked down at herself, but there was nothing wrong with it.

Shen Shu smiled and sat down beside her: "You are right. If the Yu family hadn't changed out in advance by stealing the beams and changing the pillars, they would have abandoned the pawn to protect the car. It's just that when the pursuit was being pursued, General Lu was also there, and it was too difficult to steal people out, so he ......"

"Abandon the pawn to protect the car?" Taohua was a little skeptical, "Didn't you say that there are few people in the Yu family who can lead soldiers?" In order to keep Yu Rui, the Yu family can even kill their own children...... "Isn't Yu Ling a victim?"

Shen Shu sneered: "You can kill Yu Ling for Yu Rui, and of course you can kill Yu Rui for Yu Jia." "Speaking of which, who is not Yu Ge's pawn? can sacrifice others for Yu Rui, and of course sacrifice for the greater good.

"That-sacrifice Yu Rui, what does Yu Ge always want to do?" Sacrifice must be exchanged for some benefits, who will do it if there is no benefit?

"At this time, Yu Rui sacrificed his life for the country, and it will be difficult for the emperor to investigate further." Shen Shu said lightly, "This time, the Yu family is afraid that they are going to have a big funeral." "It's best to publicize it to the whole world, Yu Rui is a martyr who died in pursuit of the Japanese and sacrificed his life for the country, who can bear to doubt that such a loyal person would do something to exchange the blood of a good citizen's neck for his own crown and belt, who would believe it?

Taohua was speechless for a long time, and suddenly remembered something: "Then the sinking of this ship is also the ghost of the Yu family?" As soon as the ship sank, wouldn't the soldiers on the ship also ...... "another group of people died in vain."

"These people, what are they in the eyes of Yu Ge Lao, can give Yu Rui a funeral, I'm afraid in his opinion, it's still a blessing......" Shen Shu said sarcastically, his eyes flashed with cold light, "In this way, the Yu family's reputation has been greatly enhanced, and the emperor is not good for a while." ”

"Is this stalling for time?" Taohua frowned, "What does the Yu family want to do?" ”

"Of course, it's to gain a stronger foothold in the northwest." Shen Shu smiled lightly, "A few days ago, I asked someone to go back to the northwest. ”

He sent Yin Zhongxing back, one to ask about the news in the northwest, and the other to inform the Dingbei Marquis and his wife about the recovery of his eyes. I am afraid that Dingbeihou and his wife will not believe this matter in the letter, so it is better for Yin Zhongxing to say it in person.

Sure enough, Dingbei Hou and his wife interrogated Yin Zhongxing for a long time, and Yin Zhongxing almost swore to the sky.

"Uncle and aunt are very happy with you now...... I heard Zhongxing say that almost all the things sent by the northwest this year are prepared for you, and I'm afraid I don't have a share. "There are too many things, the itinerary is naturally slower, Yin Zhongxing can't wait, so he came back with a letter from Mrs. Dingbei Hou to resume his life.

Taohua smiled: "Don't say it so pitifully, where can my uncle and aunt forget your share." ”

Shen Shu smiled and handed the letter to her: "My aunt misses Brother Xu very much, and she always thinks about when she can see each other." "The northwest and the capital are too far away, and Brother Xu'er is a child, so he really can't walk such a long way.

"When Brother Xu is older, he won't be able to walk until he is five or six years old." Taohua opened the letter, and sure enough, the items on the gift list were either given to her or for Brother Xu, and there was really nothing to do. There is also a shorter one, but it was given to Jiang Xi and Jiang Bohua.

"This is ......" If you talk about the two in-laws, it is reasonable to have a gift for the New Year's holidays, but this gift is too heavy.

"I also mentioned the matter of my mother to my uncle and aunt." Although there is no empirical evidence from the Queen Mother, in fact, the matter is already very obvious, and there is no need for any more empirical evidence.

Taohua was silent. Although the Dingbei Marquis Mansion knew that it was the Queen Mother who killed the Xianxian Concubine, but he still couldn't mind Jiang Fanghui in his heart, and this time he learned that Jiang Fanghui was not only right, but he tried his best to protect the Xianxian Concubine, and was killed for this, and he must have felt guilty in his heart. However, there are no more people, and all that can be done is to send something to show your gratitude.

"Actually, my uncle and aunt ...... When you went to the northwest to fight the epidemic, they had already ...... "Dingbei Houfu has guarded the northwest for many years, and has a deep affection for the people in the northwest. If it weren't for the misunderstanding of the things that I looked at before, I'm afraid there would be no mustard at that time.

Taohua smiled: "I know the thoughts of my uncle and aunt...... "If Concubine Xianxian is her relative, she will be the same as the Yin family," Now that the misunderstanding has been solved, it is naturally a good thing. ”

The husband and wife held hands and sat for a while, and then Shen Shu asked, "You went to Ou's house today?" I heard something happened to your fifth sister? ”

Speaking of Jiang Danhua, Taohua only shook her head: "I can only play tricks, but in the end, I ...... "Should I say that I was smart but I was mistaken by smart?" It seems like this is a bit too much of a compliment for her. was originally in a good situation in the Ou family, but now it is like this, and I don't know what Mrs. Ou thinks.

Mrs. Ou is talking to Ou Hang now: "Listen to the spring, I asked someone to take it away...... "If she took it away, it was sold, "She took all her things away, and I also told Ren Yazi to find a good place for her......"

European Airlines almost stood up: "Tingquan really didn't do anything, my mother knows!" Although Tingquan is his maid, and everyone knows about receiving the house in the future, according to the rules of the Ou family, he must always tell his wife about this, and there is no reason to hide it from his wife. It's just that Jiang Danhua was newly married, and then she was pregnant, so European Airlines didn't mention it, who knew that Jiang Danhua actually made a move on Tingquan first.

Mrs. Ou's face sank: "I know." "Tingquan has been in the Ou family for ten years, and she has always been an honest man, otherwise how could Mrs. Ou let her be by her son's side?

"That's—"

"What about being honest?" Mrs. Ou sighed, "Jiang's baby is lost because of her after all, if you let her stay, how will you explain to your Yue family?" ”

European Airlines is in a mess. Soon after he got married, he heard that his wife was pregnant, and he was happy for a few days, and when he came back from the Hanlin Academy, he heard that his wife had a miscarriage, and the maid who had been serving him was sent away again, and he didn't know what it was like to be in his heart, but he didn't notice it - Mrs. Ou talked about Danhua before, if she didn't say Sister Dan, she would mean your daughter-in-law, but now she suddenly changed to Jiang's, which is obviously a lot colder.

"Let's go back and see the Jiang family." Mrs. Ou was also worried. The Ou family has been passed down for several generations, and the heirs have been quite difficult, Jiang Danhua has only been pregnant for less than half a year after marrying, she was extremely happy, who knows that now the happy event has become a trouble, sending a listening spring is nothing, after all, it is just a maid, but the child in Jiang Danhua's belly is gone, but she is very dissatisfied - she is pregnant, she doesn't know how to maintain it, and she has to beat people, this small birth, but the blood and flesh of the Ou family!

When Ou Hang was about to say something, he heard that Quan had already left, and his mother understood very clearly - it was impossible to tolerate her, and it would be useless to say anything like this, so he had to nod, get up and leave slowly.

Here Mrs. Ou sat by herself, and the more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and she felt that her ribs were also swollen uncomfortably, and she couldn't help but rub herself. Seeing this, the maid who was waiting for her hurriedly stepped forward to rub it for her. The master and servant were silent for a long time, and suddenly heard what seemed to be movement in Jiang Danhua's room.

"What's going on again?" Mrs. Ou even had a pain in her head, "You go and see, Hang'er is not allowed to quarrel with the Jiang family." In the end, she just lost her child, and this little confinement must also be easy to do, and ...... in the future, "it will not affect fertility in the future."

The maid hurriedly went, and came back with a bow of her head after a while: "The young grandmother argued that Tingquan should be killed, and it was just a matter of selling, and she even let her take everything away...... The young master said a few words to her, and now went to the study......"

Mrs. Ou patted the arm of the chair: "It's just—" and she swallowed the second half of the sentence back after saying half of it. What is it? This daughter-in-law was chosen by herself.

At the beginning, I saw that the three girls of the Jiang family were not a peaceful and self-conscious person, but now that they have given birth to a son, and the Anjun Royal Mansion is also well organized, she is really capable. Not to mention anything else, there is also a big girl who has been serving since childhood around King Anjun, and now I heard that I am an official wife, and everyone is very happy. This matter alone is not much better than Jiang Danhua.

"Ah—" Mrs. Ou let out a long sigh. Sure enough, I should have listened to Mrs. Ou at the beginning, but now it's too late to say anything. Speaking of which, the Ou family does not have a rule of divorce and remarriage, but when the Jiang family has a small moon, they must set up the rules for her.

In this matter, as long as Tingquan is disposed of, the Ou family will take advantage of the reason. In any case, it was the Jiang family who didn't pay attention to it and got rid of the Ou family's flesh and blood, and the Jiang family also lost money. took advantage of this opportunity to concoct the Jiang family in one go, so that the family could live in peace in the future. Otherwise, if you are pregnant and proud when you come back, where will there be a peaceful day?

The Ou family, except for the fact that it made waves between the in-laws, no one knew about it at all. No one cares about the family affairs edited by a small Hanlin, and because of the military report from Fujian, the funeral of the Yu family immediately attracted the attention of the whole capital, where else can I notice anything else.

That year, the city of Fuzhou was broken, and Cui Zhifu was seriously injured and died, which was rewarded by the emperor's handwriting. If it weren't for the two girls of the Cui family who made trouble later, the Cui family would probably still be respected in the capital now. Now that Yu Rui is also sacrificing his life for the country, how should the emperor reward him?

Speaking of which, few of those who can be officials in the court are fools. Recently, the party has also been in an eventful season, although the Zhao party has not gained the upper hand, but the emperor's attitude is seen by everyone, and it is obvious that the party is not as trusting and relying on as before. At this time, a child of the Yu family suddenly sacrificed his life for the country, if this is a coincidence, it is too hard to believe. But Yu Rui's sacrifice is real, and he can't fake it in front of everyone, so when it comes to it, the emperor has to give a reward

This is simply a problem for the emperor. If Yu Rui is not commended, what about the rest of the soldiers who died in battle? After all, Yu Rui's previous incident in Shandong was only a little suspicious, and he was not convicted.

But if it's a commendation - who doesn't know that the emperor is not very well treated to the party now. And if it is rewarded here, and what is found out from there to be sharp, what should be done then? Let the emperor take back the award himself? That's not how Chrysostom is used.

In this way, the people of the Manchu Dynasty are looking at the emperor. Even in the harem, they were all affected by this incident.

"Take out the medicinal recipe that the princess gave last time to clear the heart and dispel the fire, if the emperor wants to come, ask the small kitchen to stew first." Lu Ying guarded Brother Hui and ordered Cherry.

Cherry promised to go through the makeup box to find a prescription for medicinal food, and said with some hesitation: "It's already cold this day, is the recipe for clearing the fire ......" is not very applicable?

Lu Ying picked up a small jacket and compared it with Brother Hui'er, and sighed: "It's cold, but the corners of the emperor's mouth are foaming these days, which shows that he is angry." Sister Tao said that this medicinal diet recipe is warm, not too cold, and it can be used in cooler weather. ”

Cherry flipped through the recipe and said, "I heard that Fuzhou beat the Japanese and died?" Is the emperor worried about this? "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the queen and the queen mother are still qualified to ask a little question, and the concubines below are not allowed to mention political affairs at all. If it was Zhao Chongyi's case, her own family would send her some news, but Lu Ying here only listened to a few gossips from the palace attendants, and she couldn't get specific news at all.

"I'm afraid it's not just the dead man's business...... Lu Ying shook his head, "These things are not within our control, it's just that I feel uncomfortable when I look at the emperor like this." The imperial dining room always serves food according to the season, and at this time, it is time to start serving some mutton venison, and there is already a fire, and if you eat these again...... "Isn't it even more of a false fire?"

Lamb venison is warm. Since the emperor is in the harem, there are three thousand, which inevitably consumes a lot, so there are more meat dishes in the palace, just to replenish the benefits. It is the concubines of each palace, I wish to be able to bear the rain and dew, if the emperor goes to their palace to eat, I also like to prepare these things, but I don't know that the emperor is irritable now, and it is not appropriate to use these warm things.

Brother Hui sat in a regular manner, playing with an inkstone. The child was quiet, and sometimes he could sit for half an hour with something in his hand and look at it repeatedly. At this time, I heard Lu Ying talking about the emperor, and suddenly raised her little face: "Is my father here?" ”

He is about to turn two years old, and he speaks well, basically speaking, and he can speak very clearly. Lu Ying touched his little face: "Father may come." ”

Brother Hui'er showed a slightly disappointed look on his face. The emperor didn't come to see him every day, so he was not as affectionate to the emperor as he was to Lu Ying. But the nurses and maids around him often mention the emperor, and he often thinks about it.

Lu Ying saw his disappointed expression, only felt that his heart was about to melt, and hugged him and said, "Father has to deal with many important things every day, and he is very busy, if he has time, he will come to see Brother Hui." ”

Brother Hui thought for a moment and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

This can make Lu Ying down, she doesn't know it at all, but how can she say these words to a child? After thinking for a while, I could only say: "The mother concubine doesn't know ......"

"I asked my father." Brother Hui said clearly.

"Don't-" Lu Ying hurriedly shook his head, "My father is already very tired of dealing with major affairs in the previous dynasty, Brother Hui asks again, isn't my father going to be tired again?" ”

Brother Hui wrinkled his little face, and thought for a while before saying, "I'll beat my father's legs." ”

Lu Ying laughed, hugged her son and kissed her: "Brother Hui is so good, now I know how to be filial to my father." ”

Brother Hui'er looked serious: "The book says ......" He is still illiterate, but Lu Ying will read to him, he likes to listen to it, and he actually remembers it.

Lu Ying was even happier, and Cherry pursed her lips and smiled: "Our brother is really smart." ”

Brother Hui still had a small face, and lowered his head to study the inkstone in his hand. Lu Ying touched his soft hair lovingly: "Look at this face, I don't know who it looks like." ”

Cherry smiled: "Niangniang was the most smiling when she was a child, my brother is like this, I'm afraid it's like the emperor......"

Lu Ying hurriedly shushed her, pointed at Brother Hui'er, and whispered: "Sister Tao said, don't look at the child's child, you have a good memory." Don't spread this word...... "If Brother Hui says that he looks like an emperor in front of people, this is not a trivial matter, Zi Xiao's father, there are many things to say here, and I don't know how many articles I can make if I listen to them."

Cherry hurriedly shut up and said, "The slave is confused. At this time, the slave and maid went to the small kitchen to ask someone to prepare medicinal food. ”

She took the prescription and walked out, only to go out of the inner hall, as soon as she looked up, she saw a bright yellow figure standing at the door of the hall, so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down to say goodbye, but was stopped by the emperor waving his hand: "Silence!" ”

Cherry's sweat came out, and she quickly recalled whether her master had said anything taboo, and after thinking for a while, there seemed to be nothing more except for what she said that Brother Hui was like the emperor, and her heart was slightly relieved, and she quietly raised her head to spy on the emperor's face, but saw that the emperor's eyebrows were stretched, although there was no smile on his face, but there was no look of annoyance, so he put his heart down a little.

She was kneeling here, and there were only a few palace people in the outer hall standing far away at the door, probably warned by the emperor, and there was no sound at all, so Lu Ying's voice in the inner hall was heard very clearly, and she sang a song of lotus picking in the south of the Yangtze River to Brother Hui. Wu Nong's soft words, the words are slightly vague, and they appear more soft and long.

The emperor listened for a while, then suddenly bowed his head to the cherry and said, "The medicinal food is stewed, and someone will send it to the Mingguang Palace." With that, he turned and walked away.

Du Neijian naturally followed the emperor closely, and waited until he left the Qiuliang Hall before saying, "Why doesn't the emperor go in and take a look at the little prince?" "Obviously, what Lu Xiuyi and the little prince said is right, why didn't the emperor go in when he arrived at the door?

The emperor raised his hand and touched the corner of his mouth, there was indeed a small blister, the color was slightly red, not very conspicuous, anyway, he went to the queen's Fengyi Palace, and the queen didn't pay attention to it at all.

"Let's talk about it when I'm done with the Yu family." Otherwise, Lu Ying always wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, even if he told her, it was nothing more than to make her worry, so why bother.

Du Neijian changed the topic with great eyes: "Then the emperor is planning to ......"

"Let's follow the Cui family's example." The emperor straightened his sleeves, "Don't you just want me to write a word?" Princess Anjun said well, what is a word worth, it depends on how I choose. "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and if the Yu family wants to delay time, let them come. As for writing this commendation, it's just a breath of patience, and it's not worth anything.

"The princess of the county is really ......," Supervisor Du Nei said half a sentence, and swallowed the second half back. The emperor always mentions the princess of the county, this is not a thing, no wonder there are rumors outside.

The emperor smiled slightly: "In the end, she speaks differently from other women. As he spoke, he couldn't help but look back at the direction of the Qiuliang Palace, "Lu's ......" The Lu family is excellent, although it is rare to be kind in the palace, but it would be good if there was another Jiang family's ability.

Du Neijian said with a smile: "Xiuyi and the princess of the county are close friends. The slave and maid heard that things gather like things, and they thought that there would always be similarities. ”

The emperor was amused by him: "You thing, but you also chew the words." That's it, I know what you mean, it's just that you all misunderstand what I mean......" he sneered as he said, "Yu Rui has also become an abandoned pawn of the Yu family this time-that's it, just for this, I will reward him with a picture of the words and look at it underground, but I don't know if he really has a soul, I am ashamed to see my award!" ”
