Tanchun didn't dare to put such a fatal thing by his side, so he immediately found a reason to send the servant back to Jia's house, and sent the thing out by the way. The waiter also didn't dare to be careless, hid the things tightly on his body, and went back to Jia's house first according to the instructions. At Jia's house, the waiter changed his clothes, quietly left through the back door, and went to Prince Chun's mansion.

When Lin Qingyun saw the waiter, she was really surprised, and she was even more surprised when she saw the things that the other party brought.

Zhen didn't know anything about Yiqiē, and his heart was on Xiao Shizi. Fan Shu said that Xiao Shizi's illness can be cured, but it takes a lot of effort, and it can't be cured in a year or two. Zhen doesn't care, as long as she can be cured, whether it is a year or two, or five years or ten years, she is willing. In the past few days, it is normal for Xiao Shizi's condition to recur, and he needs to be taken care of very carefully, Zhen did not dare to be distracted, and he was outside for three days in a row.

It was easy for Xiao Shizi's situation to be stable, and Zhen returned to the county palace.

There are a lot of people around Zhen to marry, but there are not many people who are still available in a few years. Xiao Shizi is her lifeline, so she put a loyal and proper person to take care of Xiao Shizi, and there is only Chunhua and Qiushi by her side. Today, he came back after putting Xiao Shizi to sleep, and after being tired for a few days, Zhen simply freshened up and recruited his mother-in-law for questioning.

This mother-in-law is doing rough work in the courtyard outside, and she has long been accustomed to Zhen's questioning, and she has told all the movements in the house in the past few days when Zhen is away.

When Zhen heard that several groups of people had come to her courtyard, she wanted to laugh, but after inadvertently glancing at it, her face changed greatly. rushed to the dressing table and looked carefully, and sure enough, it was gone. Zhen knew very well what was missing, and for a moment he couldn't figure out who had stolen it, and slowly regained his composure after a short gaffe.

She had known that the gold could no longer be obtained, that it was just a tool for her to achieve her goals, otherwise she would not have leaked the news without collecting the bill of exchange first. A bill of exchange is indispensable to a letter, and the rosewood jewelry box is not really as difficult to retrieve as she said. She just wanted to get the emperor's attention and lead to many problems on King Chengjun, but whenever there was a suitable time to expose those letters from the Nan'an Palace, the title of King Chengjun would come to an end.

She didn't want to take this step until she had to, but the mother and son both wanted to die by themselves.

Now, she had one piece of faith left in her hand, and it was not a large amount, but only two thousand gold. It's useless to leave things on your body, but you can take advantage of this opportunity to separate the county king and the Gao family, whether the things are taken by the Gao family or not, they must be counted on the head of the Gao family.

Pulled out a braided red rope from his neck, and a small sachet was attached to the rope, which contained the tenth letter that Tanchun did not find. She handed it to Akimi and whispered, "It's time to move that chess piece." ”

Qiu Shi took the things and went out, turned around and said, "Don't worry, princess, it's all done." ”

The corners of Zhen's mouth bent, grabbed the vase on the table and smashed it to the ground, everything in the room fell to the ground, and his mouth shouted and screamed, as if he was crazy. The people outside didn't dare to come in lightly, so they could only hurry to report to the king of the county and the Gao family, and the two were taken aback when they heard this, and immediately rushed to check.

As soon as the two were about to enter the house, a bottle was smashed out of the house, almost hitting King Chengjun in the face.

"What's going on?" King Chengjun asked with a gloomy face.

Chunhua trembled and replied: "The slave doesn't know, it's just that the princess and the princess are talking about something missing." ”

Zhen lost something?

At this time, King Chengjun hadn't thought of relying on the letter, but the Gao family on the side reacted quickly, regardless of the fact that Zhen might go crazy, and hurriedly entered the house. The house was really in a mess, porcelain fragments, clothes and jewelry were thrown to the ground, and Zhen sat on the ground with scattered sideburns and dull eyes.

Gao squatted beside her and asked, "What did the princess lose?" ”

Zhen looked up at her for a long time, pulled the corners of his mouth and sneered: "What do you say?" It's what you want most. Why would you ask me? Didn't you take the thing away? Then he looked at King Chengjun who came in with him: "The things you have been wanting to get are finally here, what are you doing here?" Anyway, you don't care about the life or death of our mother and son. ”

"Zhen, what the hell are you talking nonsense? Who took the thing? King Chengjun also understood what was lost, and couldn't help but investigate whether Zhen was lying.

"Anyway, it's gone, what's the use of talking about it?" Zhen got up from the ground and ignored them sitting alone in front of the dressing table to comb their hair.

King Chengjun and Gao were anxious at this time, and they didn't bother to ask Zhen again, so they called Chunhua and Qiushi out to ask. When he learned that the lost thing was hidden in Xiao Shizi's toy, a cold glint flashed in King Chengjun's eyes: "What kind of two things did you just say?" ”

Qiu Shi replied: "It's a small colored hydrangea, a pottery ringing ball, which was very popular with Xiao Shizi in the past, and the little hydrangea was made by the princess herself, so although it was old, the princess was never willing to throw it." Originally, the two things were placed on the dressing table, but when I came back today, I didn't see them, and the princess looked everywhere like crazy. The slave asked the people below, and said that when the princess was away, the second son, the eldest lady, and the eldest son, had come, thinking that the young lady thought it was fresh to play, and was about to ask......"

"Nonsense! Miss Childe doesn't have any good things, how can she want those old ones! Gao instinctively retorted, but he didn't see King Chengjun looking at her with a suspicious gaze.

King Chengjun turned around and walked out of the Zhen family's courtyard and went directly to Gao's residence. Gao thought he was going to say something, so he asked the maids to retreat, but King Chengjun ordered someone to bring Miss Gongzi here. Except for the eldest son who can be named after the birth, the other children are generally given late, mostly after the age of ten. Gao gave birth to a second son, who is six years old this year, and the eldest girl is nine years old.

Gao is undoubtedly very smart, and when he saw the actions of the county king, he knew that he was suspicious, but the more he did so, the more he could not justify it.

Soon the eldest girl and the second son came over, because the Gao family was favored, and their children also had fathers, so they were naturally not afraid of birth. Compared with the sick and scary little prince, King Chengjun naturally likes the healthy and lively second son. The second son pounced on him and called his father.

King Chengjun hugged it on his lap and asked with a smile, "What did you do today?" ”

The second son is small and doesn't know how to read his face, but he just said happily: "I got a new ball today, it will ring, but it's interesting." ”

Gao's face turned pale when he heard this.

King Chengjun looked at Tao Xiangqiu, it was really not a new object, and it was wrong to look at Gao's eyes again.

At this time, the second son said, "I still have a beautiful bird." As he spoke, he let go of his hand, but saw that he was holding a thumb-sized rosewood carving in his little hand, which was indeed in the shape of a bird.

Gao's body shook, and his voice was a little sharp: "Brother Xuan, where did you get it?" ”

The second son was taken aback: "From, from the mother's room, I, I won't dare next time." ”

"No, the king of the county......"

"That's it!" King Chengjun had already seen it clearly, and he was too lazy to listen to Gao's words, so he took the wood carving and turned it over to see that it was the name of a money village underneath. Ordering someone to take the young lady down, he said to the Gao family: "As long as I believe in it, you will hand over the things, and I will not blame the past." ”

King Chengjun insisted that she had more than this one in her hand, and even suspected that the bill of exchange that she had taken from Tanchun was also the first to be taken.

In the past, King Chengjun did trust the Gao family, and the Gao family was quite popular with him and was very favored, so that he had a pair of children. But now, this trust has disappeared suddenly, leaving only suspicion and jealousy, after all, how smart and decisive the Gao family is, and they have been taught by the king of Chengjun all these years, not to mention ...... The Gao family is still the remnants of the Nan'an Palace!

King Chengjun is not stupid, he really didn't notice it in the past, but since the accident in the Nan'an Palace, the Gao family is not quite right. Later, after an investigation, the Gao family actually had a secret relationship with the old lady of Nan'an, what kind of reason could make the Gao family take such a big risk to entangle with the female relatives of the Nan'an royal mansion who had a plot against him? Unless the Gao family is a family of Nan'an Wangfu! Now that the prince of Nan'an is gone, the old lady knows the Gao family, and for the sake of the Gao family, the Gao family has to help the old lady.

I didn't pay attention to it before, because King Chengjun himself had also exchanged letters with the prince of Nan'an, and the Gao family served wholeheartedly and helped with many things, which can be called a virtuous helper, and now ......

"The king of the county, please listen to my explanation, I really didn't take those letters, I don't know where she is hiding. This must be Zhen's trap, she deliberately framed me! Gao immediately guessed Zhen's body, but even she knew that King Chengjun would not believe this, he would only believe what he saw with his own eyes.

Sure enough, King Chengjun only looked at her fixedly, turned around and left.

Gao sat on the ground and gritted his teeth with a fierce expression for a long time: "Zhen! Hello, hello very! ”

As soon as the Gao family fell out of favor, everyone in the inner courtyard smelled the news, except for the Zhen family, everyone else was full of ambition and ready to compete for favor, but in the end, it was the newcomer Jia Shu who came out on top. Tanchun is at a young and delicate age, he is smart and smart, he has Zhen's mention, he is not ignorant of Chengjun Wang, and it is not difficult to use the things he has mastered to please the county king, but the difficult thing is to make this like for a long time.

Compared with the Zhen family's heart for the little prince, the Gao family stared at the Zhen family, and Concubine Chen was bent on figuring out the Gao family's secrets, so that Tanchun had an excellent time to compete for favor. The so-called moisturizing things are silent, and the action of exploring spring is like the wind entering the gap, bit by bit, but it also has an informed impression in the heart of the county king.

Zhen looked at the situation in the mansion coldly, took out two letters that were tightly hidden, and secretly handed them to the king of Dingjun.

King Dingjun had long looked at his younger brothers unpleasantly, and now that he had the opportunity, he would not let it go.

Within two days, there was a royal history to participate in the performance of the county king: he had intimate contacts with the Nan'an Palace, and he had a great heart of disobedience, privately intercepted a large amount of gold hidden by the Zhen family of the criminal official, and accepted the daughter of the criminal minister as a concubine. Although there is no evidence of gold, there are shadows, and the other two are conclusive evidence. Especially the first one, when the letter came out, King Chengjun turned disgraced, and could only argue that the king of Nan'an County tempted him, but he did not agree, but was greedy for profit. The emperor angrily reprimanded, took away the title of king of the county, demoted him to the general of the town, and punished him for thinking about it behind closed doors. Secretly, the emperor sent his cronies to take the Zhen family's hidden things. There was no denial to King Chengjun, so he searched the study directly and found the three bills of exchange and the wood carving letters.

Dai Quan came with him, but it was not his job to search for things, he only stood outside to accompany King Chengjun. When the things were searched, Dai Quan said before leaving: "Your Highness, the emperor wants the servant to bring a message, please think about it sincerely, when you will understand it, and when you can come out." ”

King Chengjun stuffed a silver ticket and asked, "The old minister is tired." ”

Dai Quan accepted the silver ticket and said with a smile: "How can Your Highness not know? The minion said something extraordinary, and there is not much peace in your inner house. ”

King Chengjun's face changed slightly.

As a princess, Zhen has no rights as a princess, no respect for a princess, and if she doesn't do things carefully, outsiders will definitely be able to see the clues, which is a crime. Yingjia's family will also be criticized and impeached by the imperial history. He had thought of both of these things in advance, but generally speaking, he was not strict in governing the family, and at most he reprimanded and ordered him to make amends. King Chengjun was afraid that Gao's identity would be exposed, and he wanted others to believe that he had no objection......

If other princes knew, they would definitely attribute him to the Nan'an Palace, and even think that the Nan'an Prince was subordinate to him. At that time, it wasn't just Lost Jue.

The king of his own county was demoted, and he lost his errand, so he could only think about it behind closed doors at home, so that the atmosphere in the whole mansion was silent.

The second prince is no longer the king of the county, Zhen naturally can't be called a princess, and other names such as Concubine Chen and Concubine Gao have to change. The so-called husband and wife are honored, and vice versa. Although Tanchun feels bitter in his heart, he has arrived in this house, and the days will always pass.

On this day, someone from the Jia family suddenly came, it was Xiao Que'er and a mother-in-law beside Aunt Zhao. Aunt Zhao wanted to come in person, but where could she be an aunt and get out of the house? Only the chatter explained to the girl's mother-in-law and asked them to come and take a trip.

When the two saw Tanchun, they greeted him first: "Say hello to the concubine." ”

Tanchun's eyes darkened: "I can't call 'concubine' anymore." Thinking of Aunt Zhao, she didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so she asked them directly: "Do you have something to do here?" ”

The mother-in-law spoke first: "Grandma sent us here to ask the girl for a word. The third master of Huan will be seventeen years old in the next year, but he has not said kiss, his aunt and grandmother are very anxious, and asked the matchmaker to inquire a few parties, and finally approved the family. The girl's father is a seven-grade petty official, and it is said that he is a distant relative of Concubine Chen in the house, wouldn't it be good if he could kiss him? My aunt and grandmother took a fancy to the girl's dignified appearance and virtuous temperament, and it was best to be able to match it to the third master. ”

didn't wait for Tanchun to finish speaking, and he already smiled angrily: "I said that my aunt will not come to the door if she is fine, what is a seven-grade little official?" Do you think our family is still the first in the past Guogong Mansion? Our family has been defeated, the two rooms have been separated, Brother Huan'er's mother has been sentenced to beheading, the master is still in exile, and there is no one in the family who can study and improve, let alone a girl from the Qipin Guan'er family, even ordinary people may not be willing to marry their daughters in. Auntie, don't ask for my words, what am I? It's just a concubine. My aunt has been a concubine for a lifetime, when will the concubine have room to speak? Saying that, he cried again: "Auntie, why did she think about it for me, is it easy for me to live?" ”

The mother-in-law panicked, and her face was flushed.

Xiao Que'er hurriedly said: "Girl, don't be sad, my aunt is also worried about the third master's family affairs, and the third master can't say anything about this, and let the girl not take her aunt's words to heart." ”

"The third master really said that?" Tanchun felt a little comforted in his heart, after all, there was still someone in the family who understood. While wiping his tears, he asked, "What is the third master doing at home?" ”

Xiao Que'er smiled: "The girl also knows that the third master doesn't like to read, and besides, it's useless to read now." The third master has the shop and Zhuangzi given by the master in his hands, and now he is learning to take care of it with the people below, but he looks good. ”

Tanchun sighed: "Although it is better to study, it is a livelihood in the end." He asked again: "How is the second master Bao?" ”

"The second master is still going out early and returning late, and it is said that he is taking care of the industry. Some time ago, the second grandmother of the big house proposed to him about his family, but the second grandmother disagreed, and the second grandmother had to give up. It's Grandma Zhu who is crying in private, Brother Lan has also reached the age of saying kiss, the second master of Bisheng Bao and the third master of Huan have not moved, how can I say Brother Lan? Besides, our family is not as good as before. I heard that Grandma Zhu found her mother's family, but her mother's family couldn't help for a while, and Lan Ge'er also said that it was useless to study, and she didn't study anymore, and she danced with knives and sticks all day long, saying that she wanted to join the army. ”

"In the end, Brother Lan has ambitions, I'm afraid, our family will count on him in the future."

"There is another thing, Second Master Bao has let out all the people in the house."

"Is there only four of the second brother's side left? Who was released again? Tanchun felt strange, Baoyu was originally a flower cherisher, and he always liked girls. Later, although his temperament changed a little, he just didn't frolic and get close to the girls, but he still respected it. After the family accident, they couldn't afford to raise so many people, so they let a lot of people out, and left four big girls in Baoyu's room.

"They all went out, and they didn't even stay with their attacking sisters." Xiao Que'er said sighing, after all, everyone in the house knew that the attacker had received her aunt's share, who would have thought that not only would she not have a good life in the Guogong Mansion now, but even her aunt would not be able to do it.

"Attack? How so? "Tanchun is really surprised.

"I don't know why the second master is, I must let them all go out. The attacker's sister cried pitifully, saying that she would rather die than go out, but Bao Erye suddenly mentioned Qingwen, saying that Qingwen was alive and well outside, and everyone could only live well without him, so people called the attacker's brother and sister-in-law and brought the attacker back. The second master was kind-hearted in the end, and gave each of them a sum of silver, which was enough to marry and live a good life. ”

"There is no girl by the second brother's side, but who is going to serve?" Tanchun was uneasy.

"There are two little girls, and the second master is now easy to serve."

Tanchun always felt that something was not quite right, and thought that when there were people at home again during the Chinese New Year, he would have to ask carefully. As a result, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, someone from the Jia family came, but it was the cuiwi beside Shi Xiangyun.

"Why are you here? What about you girls? Tanchun asked.

"The second master has something to hand over to the third girl, and our girl's car is outside, but she is not good at coming to the door from a girl's house, so she only sent me to deliver something." Cui Wei said as she handed over a small box.

Tanchun opened the box, and inside was a letter, and under the letter were silver tickets, house deeds, land deeds, and two boxes, containing various jade jewelry, celebrity posts, etc. These things are very familiar, and they were clearly given to Baoyu by Jia's mother. Tanchun opened the letter with shaking hands, and before he could finish reading it, tears rained down: "Second brother, ......"

Cui Wei was startled: "Three girls? ”

"Second brother, he's gone, he's gone."

Cui Wei remembered that Baoyu had sent things to each room this morning, and their girls had also received them, thinking it was a New Year's gift. Thinking that he couldn't stay longer, he hurriedly went out and returned to the car, and sure enough, Xiangyun also saw the letter in the box and was crying. Cui Wei hurriedly persuaded her.

Xiangyun said with tears in her eyes: "I saw that the second brother had something to hide in his heart, but I didn't expect him to leave, what should I do if he leaves this family?" I, what should I do? ”

"Girl......"

"I don't have anything now, why didn't the second brother take me away?" Xiangyun cried for a while, and suddenly said, "Go to Prince Chun's Mansion, I'll go and beg the princess." ”

Cui Wei thought that she was begging Prince Chun to find Baoyu back, but in fact, Xiangyun was just begging Lin Qingyun to find Baoyu's whereabouts. Lin Qingyun guessed her plan, but she was worried: "Are you going to find him?" How do you walk outside as a girl? What if something happens without someone to protect you? ”

Xiangyun just didn't speak, but his mind didn't change at all.

Lin Qingyun sighed: "If you really insist on going, I will find someone to send you, and I will talk about it when you find him." Also, you have to know what reputation the girl's family will have if she chases a man out? If you don't care, can you never return to Beijing for the rest of your life? What about the rest of the Jia family? ”

Xiangyun's relatives are burdened by fame, so she naturally knows the importance of a woman's reputation, and she will do it herself, but if she is tired of the other daughters of the Jia family, what face does she have to see Baoyu?

"You only say that you went south to join your relatives, and your historian's hometown is also in the south, so others will not be suspicious casually. Get ready and go. ”

"Thank you, Princess, for your great kindness."

A few days later, Xiangyun packed up everything and followed a foreign caravan south. This caravan was found by Lin Qingyun, and two guards were arranged to follow, plus the caravan already had guards, so it was not a problem to be safe all the way. Tanchun can't help himself now, and he can't come out, so Daiyu and Yingchun sent Xiangyun a ride.

Originally, Daiyu also lamented that another sister left, but as soon as the year passed, Zhuang Li took over the order and went to Shuzhong to serve as the county commander. Daiyu naturally wanted to take the child with her, and this time it would be at least three years, busy packing things and arranging affairs, but there was no parting sadness.

Just sent Daiyu away, and had to do something for Chu Yang, Chu Yang was going to go to the study to study, and the queen asked Lin Qingyun to pack up some things that she was used to, and if it was late, she would live in the palace. The emperor specially ordered Nansan to clean up and let Chuyang live in the courtyard where Tu Yan had lived in the past.

Lin Qingyun was reluctant to go to school at such a young age, but there was no way, Chu Yang's identity was destined to have some things that could not be avoided.

"Mother, don't cry, I'll be back in the afternoon." Chu Yang now knows a lot, and he knows how to comfort people, and he turned his head and explained to his younger brother: "Brother Rui, you have to be obedient." ”

Brother Rui saw that he was packing up and going out, and suddenly pulled the corner of his clothes and refused to let go, shouting to his brother that he had to go with him. Tu Yan picked up Brother Rui'er, patted him twice, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's send my brother to school." ”
