Chapter 155: Tracking Down Dirty Silver 5
"Auntie, my lord has been outside for more than ten days, you see that you need the slave to send someone to find it." At this moment, in a small courtyard on the east side of Tangyuan, a little maid of twelve or thirteen years old was pressing her shoulder to the most favored aunt in the garden now, and at the same time worrying about her master.
"What are you looking for, my wife is not in a hurry, what are we anxious about, what are these old men doing outside, where can my aunt be able to ask." The aunt shook her handkerchief absently, lay on her back on the beauty, and her eyes didn't open for half a minute, and her speech was neat and crisp, but it was a little spicy.
"Auntie, don't say that, the slave feels that your grace is the first in our Tangyuan, and even the wife is not enough." The little girl also looked a little bit when she landed, and Cherry Xiaokou said with a smile, but it was a little delicate.
The beauty on the collapse gently opened her beautiful eyes, glanced at the maid, and a smile curled up at the corner of her lips, "I don't know if you look at it with that little thought, the fourth master came back to your house last time, right?" ”
"This slave doesn't dare." The girl immediately fell to her knees, her body trembling.
"Get up, I don't blame you, we're all miserable. When you were young, you were blindfolded when you saw that the house was full of gold and silver, and that the land was full of riches. But you don't see that our old man is the most heartless, how many aunts are in the backyard of Tangyuan, one more, not too many, not too many, not too much. Look at the fate of my wife, and then go to the barren mountain in the backyard and take a look at Aunt Cao, the biological mother of our sixth miss, and you will know. ”
She was also such a girl who served by people's side at the beginning. She still remembers the situation when she was brought back to this mansion by Chu Jinli, and when she heard the words of her sisters often say, "Fly on the branches and become a phoenix", and she felt that it was nothing more than that.
She thinks she is beautiful and her brain is quite clear, she thought that in the future, there will always be a piece of her pie in this rich house, so she also choked with the unfavored old aunt, and secretly did the right thing with the unpopular wife, and she was full of spirit.
But it all ended that night.
She walked out of the door, passed outside Sister Xian'er's door, heard the smell of incense, candles, paper money wafting from Sister Xian'er's house, took a few steps forward, and looked closely, but found that she was quietly worshipping her biological mother Cao. The nurse next to her was crying and talking about Aunt Cao's death. Only then did I realize that she was just one of them
"However, my aunt and aunt are different, as soon as the lord comes back, I will go to my aunt's yard, that is, I will go to Shoukang Hall to ask for peace," the maid couldn't help but argue
"You stupid girl, it's because the master has something to do with me, you look at the cabinet over there, I don't know what kind of broken book it is, and you want me to keep it like a baby. He came to grace me, but only to let me do things for him. ”
The beautiful woman's beautiful eyes closed again, and the smile on her mouth looked a little gentle.
Fortunately, she is not old now, her brain is still clear, and she can help with something.
The maid wanted to say more, but saw that the master closed his eyes, collected the expression on his face, and his breathing gradually became even, obviously unwilling to talk anymore. Although she was unwilling, she had to slow down first.
Hongyu, who was listening to this scene on the roof at the moment, was secretly glad that she had come early to guard the words of the ink painting and listen to some gossip; On the other hand, she admired that her future young master's wife was really like a god!
"Miss, I found it, it should be this, please take a look." Early the next morning, Hongyu handed over a milk spoon in one hand and a thin booklet in the other.
Sister Hui took a look, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth became bigger and bigger, "That's it, you copy it, and go inside to copy it now." Then send the original booklet back to Aunt Ren first, and then you will send the copied ones out. ”
"Why is that?" Hongyufu took the booklet again and asked puzzled
"If the booklet is lost now, how can the third uncle not know? Naturally, the grass was startled, maybe the silver had long been transferred to where it had gone, and there was no dirty silver, even if the third prince took this booklet, he would inevitably be charged with slander. ”
"Yes, the slave and maid will go at once. There is still half an hour to go, maybe Aunt Ren will wake up, and she is very precious about this thing. Hongyu frowned and finished speaking, turned around and entered Sister Hui'er's inner room.
In a blink of an eye, the Laba Festival arrived. As usual, the palace received the emperor's reward for Laba porridge, but this year due to the war in the north, the Laba porridge is mostly grain-based, and there are almost no meat grains. It can be regarded as a message to all the provinces in the capital that the emperor and his old man are going to start reducing their finances.
Hearing that the New Year is approaching, many civil officials took the opportunity to propose that most of the cities have been recovered anyway, but there are still two left, and those two are not very rich, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It can also appease people's hearts and implement benevolent governance.
But there are also many military attachés who said, "Under the Putian, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. "Every inch is the emperor's, not to mention two cities! They would rather die on the battlefield than return to the city for my king.
Naturally, the emperor was very happy. However, the civil officials have their own plans for civil officials, and seeing that after four years of fighting, everything is the military attache first, that is, the reward is Laba porridge, and it is said that the civilian officials are not as much meat as the military attaché's family. If they continue like this and wait until they return from victory, what will they have as civil officials?
And the military attache is naturally desperate to go to the battlefield, not to mention that there has been no war in Daxia for many years, and the facial features have been silent for many years, and they have not been so majestic for a long time. Besides, although the Great Xia Army did not do well this year, if it came back like this, then the sacrifices of the family would be in vain. Especially in the First Battle of Jinshan, because of the fear of instability of the people's hearts, the imperial court has not yet issued an edict and bereavement pension. If the class teacher returns to the court at this time, this battle will be half dead, let alone compassionate compensation, I am afraid that it is good not to be reprimanded.
Therefore, the two factions are very hotly contested.
"Then Master Li supports that side?" Sister Hui didn't know about these major events in the court, and she didn't know about them until Li Yuyi met in the Li Mansion. Since she was a child, Li Yuyi's father has told her some court affairs, and now that she is older and knows some scriptures and history, she is more interested in political affairs than the trivial housekeeper director.
Sister Hui asked this because to put it mildly, those civilian officials who don't want to fight again are really traitors! Although it is only two cities, it is barren. But retiring at this time, not to mention losing the face of the Great Xia Dynasty, the most important thing is to chill the hearts of the people of the Great Xia in those two cities. Just sending them to the enemy's butcher's knife is truly abominable!
"What the civil official said is not completely wrong, from the overall situation, if you continue to fight, it will indeed drag down the entire Great Xia Kingdom. It's just that their little selfishness is indeed chilling. My father came back yesterday and talked to me, saying that he asked his mother to cook more delicious food for you, and also made you new clothes for the New Year, and he said that if you don't fight, I am afraid that your life in the future will be difficult in the Anning Waiting House. He also said that if you want, you can also find a way to get you out, and your brothers and sisters can set up their own houses. My father didn't approve of retiring at this time because of the friendship with Uncle Chu back then, not to mention, there were still people in two cities over there. It's just that others are soft-spoken, and this matter is up to me," Li Yuyi said helplessly
Sister Hui understood what Master Li meant, and Li Yuyi was afraid that she had also told Master Li that her father had died in battle.
She is now also a family member of the first battle of Jinshan, if this battle is won, the day the class teacher returns to the court, there is King Jing in the court, and there will definitely be a lot of compensation, even if she is not greedy for that idea, but her brother Xuan still needs to pave the way for the future to enter the office. If this battle ends here, then Jinshan will have to pay some money and wealth at most, and the court will not publicize this matter, not to mention that her father has been wronged, that is, she and Brother Xuan will have to let the old lady handle it from now on.
Take 10,000 steps back and say that she is married, she is a member of Prince Ke's mansion, and she can't move. But Brother Xuan is still the Chu family in the end, Chu Jinzhang is still the head of the Chu family, and Brother Xuan is not at his disposal in the future.
"Thank you Uncle Li for thinking about our brothers and sisters like this, but I don't bother Uncle Li to help me think about it, and now there is chaos in the Anning Hou Mansion. Before the Laba Festival, my fourth uncle was making a fuss about separating the family, but at first it was just the fourth uncle's family, and then the third uncle also agreed. Now the two brothers are going to be separated, and the old lady is so angry that she gasps in bed all day. That's why I didn't come to you five days before Laba to ask you about the last time I asked about it. Sister Hui smiled.
When Li Yuyi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed, his eyes lit up and asked, "How can you say this?" ”
