Chapter 24: Reminiscences

"Since your grandfather beat you up for entering Beijing with your grandmother, he has to send people to greet you every year, and in the past two years, he has always asked you to go back for reunions and recount family affection, which is obviously a retreat and a woo. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Originally, your marriage, Hou Ye and your grandfather can naturally call the shots, but you have been raised by your grandmother for many years, so you will be forced to let Miss Qi and his father go to Beijing with you. Liu Chang analyzed the current situation for Wu Ye, "At that time, I was weak and not liked by my grandfather, and my uncles and aunts were disgusted with my mother being a concubine, and they were even more indifferent to me, and even my cousins and cousins thought I was a misfortune. Liu Chang saw that Wu Ye had fallen into the painful memories of the past and couldn't extricate himself, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade: "What are you doing with these things in a good manner, if grandmother knows that you are still suffering so much, she will definitely be sad." ”

Yes, fortunately, there is an aunt and grandmother who really loves her! I vaguely remember when I was six years old, a wind chill caused a vicious disease in the body, and I happened to catch up with my aunt and grandmother and A Chang to return to my hometown and province, he had no nostalgia for the world, and he listened to his aunt's teachings to survive, "Brother Ye, our Wu family has been in love with the emperors of the past dynasties, and has guarded the Xijing fortress for generations, and the door is too many to mention, even if the world is peaceful at this time, who dares not praise Wu Jiaerlang for being brave and good at fighting, loyal to the country!" What's more, you are the tenth generation eldest grandson of our Wu family, even if you can't go into battle to kill the enemy and shroud the body of the horse, you shouldn't die of illness in the inner courtyard like this, ashamed of your ancestors! ”

The Duchess of the Protector completely changed the fate of Wu Ye with emotion, Xu felt that the descendants of the Wu family withered, and the Hou Ye was difficult to support, if he folded this eldest nephew, I was afraid that a glory would be in vain, so he took advantage of the excuse of feng shui in the capital to raise people, and took the sick Wu Ye to the Protector's Mansion to raise him personally. Later, he learned that Ah Ye was not happy at his grandfather's house, and even detained people to death, and found several excuses to not allow him to return to Xijing for many years.

I have to say that Wu Ye lived very freely in the Huguo Mansion, not only did his uncle and aunt take care of him carefully, but also Liu Yishuang and Liu Chang treated him sincerely, and his aunt and grandmother asked him three times a day, how dare people be disrespectful to him, for fear that if he was not careful, he would be driven out of the house by the Duchess of the Republic of China. Rao was so careful to raise for half a year, Wu Yecai stretched his eyebrows, took off his sickness, and became more and more vigorous, in the end, the heart disease is greater than the body disease, and the heart knot is put down, so that the medicine can get rid of the disease.

Liu Chang has few playmates since he was born, and Wu Ye is the same age as him, lives in the same house, and is a close relative of his grandmother's family, and likes to play with him, the Duchess of the Kingdom is willing to have someone who can explain Wu Ye, plus the daughter-in-law Qin's illness and weakness, Aunt Wan's small family is angry, and she is afraid that the eldest grandson will not be supervised, and she does not know how to make progress, so she simply put the garden early, and let the two little brothers live together, which happens to be cheap for them to study together, practice martial arts, take care of each other, and make progress together. It is not in vain that the Duchess of the country has worked hard, and over the years, the two of them are like brothers, and they have been going in and out together, tacitly, looking at the two grandchildren they raised are already graceful and show off above the children of other families, it is inevitable that they will feel comforted by old age.

"Don't talk about these frustrating things, how is Wenlou's business recently, and what's new in Beijing?" Wu Ye opened his mouth and asked, "With Uncle Xin staring, Wenlou has always been working well, if there is anything new recently, it must be a strange murder." Liu Chang pretended to be mysterious and said, "Oh? This is rare, in the realm of the capital, there are continuous murders every day, what is so strange about this one? Wu Ye asked curiously, "Actually, the matter is simple, but a housekeeper in the Imperial Shi Qi Mansion was poisoned to death, the reason why it is strange is that the symptoms of this poison are unheard of and very strange, although it can be determined that it is poisoned to death, but it looks like an ordinary vicious disease to death, so far I can't find out what poison is so magical, let alone who did it?" Fortunately, the dead is just a housekeeper, otherwise the mouth of the official is not easy to block, and Jing Zhaoyin is afraid that he will not be able to sit steadily. Liu Chang joked. The world is big, there are no surprises, officials in Beijing, all day long, stick to the rules, do not seek merit but seek no fault in the style of work, if you can find out something, it is strange. Uncle Fei Xin felt that it was valuable, and he also sent someone to investigate? It's just a housekeeper, who wants to pay a lot of money to buy the truth about the cause of his death? Wu Ye asked in some surprise.

After all, Wenlou has increased its popularity in the past two years, and the market is even more ever-changing, and basically took over some of the family's secret tasks, although the investigation is difficult and the time is long, but the remuneration is very expensive, this kind of good thing that has both money and easy to spy on the family's deeds has always been the most popular task, although Wenlou is the painstaking operation of their two brothers for many years, but open source and reduce expenditure is a problem that any businessman must think about, otherwise how can such a huge intelligence network be raised.

And Uncle Xin, the landlord on Wen Lou's bright face, codenamed Shi Jue, was a professional hired killer, and he was also a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes back then, because of his withdrawn temperament and strong martial arts, he has always been alone, and it is inevitable that he will make too many enemies, and he will eventually be assassinated. It happened that when the big fish ran aground, the two brothers saved him, and because they respected him for his martial arts, they entered the house to make a western seat, teaching the two brothers some life-saving kung fu, which can be regarded as repaying the favor while recuperating from the injury.

And Wu Ye was obsessed with hatred at that time, but hated him for being young and inactive, so he discussed with Liu Chang to establish his own power in order to spy on the affairs of the year. At that time, there was no doubt that Shi Jue became the best choice for the landlord, and after getting along in those months, both of them were obedient to his martial arts, and they were also teachers and friends, so they naturally discussed ideas with him. I didn't expect the two sons of the family to have such a heart, and he is about to be confused, in the face of endless pursuit, it is not easy to wander the world, and if Wenlou is getting stronger, it is not only a protection for him, but also the last fight in life, why not?

After releasing the position of successor to the landlord, he changed his name to Xin Qi, which means giving up the past and starting again. It's not in vain that he has been a killer for many years, and it's really ingenious and unique to train newcomers, after all, it's not like an ordinary seller of intelligence, the whole store, set up a stall, and there will be a business when you get up. To do intelligence, people are naturally the first element, not only more, but also expensive in the pursuit of refinement, after all, informants are everywhere, the important thing is to be able to identify the source and reliability of information. In terms of personal quality, the light skills in martial arts should be the best, and if you can't beat them, you have to escape; Among the temperaments, those who are good at concealing and being flexible and ingenious are the best, and ordinary people can't see through them, but they are easy to approach and relax their vigilance, so that they can easily obtain information; In the family background, it is naturally the best for orphans and abandoned girls, the more blank the past, the easier it is to accept the new rules, although the family hatred and the country can taste the courage, but the resentment in the bones is difficult to control, it is not superior.

In addition to the above requirements, it is necessary to teach students according to their aptitude, and hard training is inevitable, although it is not necessary to be cold-blooded by the killer, but the rules must be strictly formulated, which is not only the rule, but also the rule. Xin Qi experienced, according to the qualifications of different people, will do the corresponding training, often a big task down, a team of seven people at the same time contact, division of labor and cooperation, the bright side and the secret people are performing their duties, and finally the captain summarizes and determines the results, reporting upwards, so that everyone has expertise, complement each other, get twice the result with half the effort, even if one person has an accident, it will not affect the overall situation, and it will not be fully exposed.

With such a system of cultivation and training, the original seven people are now in charge of each hall, named after the Big Dipper, codenamed the corresponding Relief Star King, and the children in the hall are named in order according to the heavenly stem of the corresponding hall name. That is, under the main seat of the building, there are seven halls, respectively, Tianshu Hall, which is also a hall, the hall master code name greedy wolf, the main person in charge of the job of identifying false news, and the hall member code is A one, A two, A three. . . It has been postponed; Hall B is Tianxuan Hall, the hall owner is codenamed Jumen, in charge of the position of news association, and the name of the hall member starts with B; Hall C is the Tianji Hall, and the hall owner is codenamed Lu Cun, who is in charge of the news remuneration and is also in charge of the account office in the building; Ding Tang is the Tianquan Hall, and the hall master is codenamed Wenqu, who is in charge of news collection; Wu Hall is Yuheng Hall, and the hall owner is codenamed Lian Zhen, who is in charge of the duties of action cooperation and is also in charge of punishment matters in the building; The hall is Kaiyang Hall, and the hall master is codenamed Wuqu, who is in charge of action planning and transmission; Gengtang is the shaking light hall, the hall master is codenamed Pojun, and he is in charge of the secret protection, and is also in charge of the martial arts in the building. Among them, the three halls of A, B and C are the dark halls, the three halls of Ding Wuji are the bright halls, and the Geng halls are also bright and dark, the bright halls are mainly responsible for collecting information outside, and the dark halls are responsible for processing, so among the seven halls, regardless of high and low, each is a constraint. Each new squad is assigned by the seven halls, each with a position, and each team member must be responsible for the team and report to the hall master, so that the dual jurisdiction is to cooperate with each other and supervise each other to prevent ghosts.

Although Wu Ye and Liu Chang are really the owners of the building, they have to go to Taixue to study, and their activities and life are limited by their identities, and they can't be directly in charge of the affairs in the building, so only the landlord and the hall master know their true background, although the intelligence agency is not more dangerous and dangerous than the killer organization, but any powerful organization will be feared, and once it is found to be related to the court personnel, it will become the target of the public, and it has to be guarded against.

"So far, there are two larger forces that are actively investigating this matter in secret, one of them is Fengyang Villa, Uncle Xin got the news that it is Wang Yu, the eldest disciple of Fengyang Villa, who is in charge of this matter, it is not difficult to guess that it should be Sister Shuang's support behind it, so I asked Uncle Xin to also start investigating, hoping to help my sister one or two." Liu Chang explained seriously, "It's strange, my cousin has only been back for a long time, how can it be related to the steward of the Qi Mansion?" Wu Ye said incomprehensibly. My sister is so different from you, I just didn't expect her to be married and a wife, and I still can't let go of what happened back then. Liu Chang sighed and said, "According to what you mean, my cousin is for Aunt Qin?" It's no wonder that my cousin was cheerful and generous when she was a child, but since Aunt Qin's death, she has become dull and sensitive, and she doesn't smile, but Aunt Qin has indeed been sick for many years before she dies, everyone knows this, why did my cousin do this? Wu Ye was even more puzzled.

"I don't understand this, when my mother was alive, my grandparents valued it very much, and my mother was generous and gentle, although Aunt Yang has always been a sole favor, and my mother is also a little decent because she gave birth to me, but whether it is on the surface or secretly, the family is indeed safe and harmonious." Liu Chang recalled, "I, an outsider, can also see this, after all, how can a person like Aunt Qin, who is indifferent to fame and fortune, be evil to others and be framed by others?" But then again, although my sister lost her mother, she was the heart of her aunt and grandmother, no matter how sad she was, she really shouldn't have been gone for many years and never returned, I am afraid that there must be something unspeakable behind it. Wu Ye guessed.

"I can't think of what that stupid girl will do, in order to win my sister's favor, not far away to bring her back, Liu Yi also heard from Xia Hesan before, said that the girl just entered the courtyard when she was a rough maid who did sprinkling and sweeping, her mouth was stupid, her hands were clumsy, it was said that she couldn't even take a needle in the first year of entering the garden, and then she didn't know how to get my sister's eyes, so she entered the study to serve, probably because she was afraid that she would be kicked out if she couldn't do this well, so she studied hard day and night, and she barely knew a few big words, and she could be regarded as keeping this errand." As soon as Feiying was mentioned, Liu Chang gritted his teeth with hatred, he didn't expect such a stupid girl to be liked by two young masters at the same time, thinking that she wanted to be talented and unattractive, and suddenly felt that she must have been stunned by the devil, so she fell in love with that stupid girl.

"You can't be hated because of love! The more she talks, the more mean she becomes, there are many people in the house who are not as good as Feiying, and I don't see you dislike it so much, and I can't care about anything else, just one point, now that she is with me, no matter how good or bad, you are not allowed to say a word about her. Listening to Wu Ye's words as a hen protecting the chicks, Liu Chang sneered and said, "Come on, no matter how much you protect her, people don't just say to leave, how can it be as interesting as my good brother, and I am willing to stay with you through thick and thin." "More and more confused, it must be that I didn't drink well tonight's wine, and I ate sour vinegar vigorously, see if I can take care of your stinky mouth later, come on, serve wine, my brother will accompany you not to get drunk!" After Wu Ye finished speaking, he and Liu Chang looked at each other and smiled, and couldn't help but lose their troubles, and when the good wine and food were served, the two of them held the bowl and drank to the moon, which was extremely arbitrary and chic.

The passage of time has never been transferred by anyone's will, so no matter how the parties concerned are entangled in this unexpected miss, the quiet night still passed quietly, even though the first half of the night tossed and turned, Fei Ying still got up early in the morning, found an excuse to slip back to Shangshufu, holding an ostrich mentality, trying to use personal restraint to avoid his unwarranted rejection and suspicion.

"Hey, why did you come back so early?" Dongmei learned from Xia He that the young master returned from Xijing yesterday, thinking that she must have wanted to see him when she left the mansion before the film, not to mention that now in the Shangshu Mansion, it is not more convenient than going out in the Huguo Mansion, thinking about how she would be willing to come back tomorrow, but she didn't want to have an extra bulging quilt next to her early in the morning, and she must have slipped in as soon as the second door opened.

Dongmei was afraid that Qiu Ju would be even more surprised when she woke up, so she quietly went out to fetch water, first woke up Fei Yingjing and combed her hair, and then called Qiu Ju to get up, so that she could cover up for her for an hour, so that it didn't look so abrupt. After some tossing, the sky was already bright, and everyone came out in an orderly manner to start a new day. It happened that it was the turn of the second young master to rest today, so he went with the second young grandmother to greet his wife, and his wife left the second young master for breakfast by the way.

Usually said goodbye, the eldest daughter-in-law will go back, while eating breakfast while dealing with the affairs of the house, Mrs. distressed the second daughter-in-law, pretending to set up a few days of rules to do it, and then meet the second young master to go to the court, it is the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of this in-law to have breakfast together with the wife, affectionately say something new, the rules or something naturally no one sees, and there is no need to do more. It's just that the second young master is here today, and the two young grandmothers naturally can't lose the rules, especially the eldest young grandmother who hasn't done the work of serving people for a long time, so she can only use her unskilled skills to cloth vegetables for his wife, gargle with tea, and wipe his hands with a towel.

After a breakfast, the wife ate comfortably, so she proposed to go to Guangyuan Temple to offer incense, so that the young people could worship Guanyin more and spread the branches and leaves for the house as soon as possible. It was a very good thing, but when I heard it in my ears with ulterior motives, I naturally felt extremely ironic, who didn't know that the eldest young master and the eldest young grandmother in the house had been married for more than two years, and they had never come out.

On the surface, it seems that the wife and concubine of the big house are harmonious, and the eldest young master is even more proud, but the eldest young grandmother is shrewd inside, although she married the eldest son, but she will never allow her children to be ranked behind.

Now the eldest daughter-in-law in the house enters the door, if it is not for the new daughter-in-law's tender face, and she has been in charge of the house for a long time, I am afraid that the wife is eager to immediately call her daughter-in-law to take charge of the house, so that the young grandmother's mind is all on the presiding feed, in order to prevent the mother-in-law from finding an excuse to pull her off the horse, do everything herself, come and go, the eldest young master will have some care, so she has never been pregnant, although today's wife has not pointed to Sang scolding Huai, but the young grandmother sounds particularly harsh, so she deduced that there are still many important things in the house waiting for her to deal with, I won't go with them this time.
