Chapter 50-1: Missing (I)

Chapter 50 of the Winning Chapter After missing (first) returning home, he immediately went to see the old man, and found that Yun Xiu was in the old man's house again. It seems that the old man has not seen him for so many years, and he really has endless words. When Yun Xiu saw me come in, he saluted and left the room, and I smiled and said to the old man, "What are grandpa and Uncle Xiu talking about?" ”

"It's not all the anecdotes he had overseas." The old man's eyes flashed, "I didn't expect that there is a vast world overseas, but it's a pity that grandpa's old bones are useless, so I can't go and see ...... in person."

"Look what Grandpa said." I smiled and poured a cup of tea for the old man, "When grandpa recovers his body, where grandpa wants to go to see the famous mountains and rivers, Nuo'er and I will accompany you." ”

"Just your mouth." The old man was in a good mood, laughed and teased me, took the tea I handed over, and sighed, "My old bones, what should be seen and enjoyed, are almost there, and if there is a chance in the future, you and Nuo'er will go to see the overseas scenery on my behalf, and I will fulfill my grandfather's wish." ”

"Grandpa will definitely live a long life." My heart is sour, there are fewer and fewer relatives around me, if I am in this Hou Mansion, even the old man is gone...... I didn't dare to think about it anymore, so I smiled, "Grandpa, when you are better, Ye'er will accompany you back to Cangdu." ”

The old man looked at me and smiled: "Don't you like the capital?" ”

Capital...... There are too many bad memories here, and the battle in the court is so complicated, and it will be implicated if I am not careful, there is really nothing that makes me nostalgic, the only concern is Yun Zheng on Yuxue Mountain. I lowered my eyelids: "I prefer Cangdu, the people are simple and simple, and you can stay away from strife." ”

The old man sighed slightly: "Girl, there are many things, we can't help ourselves." Strife doesn't mean that you can stay away from it, if you go to the palace, the situation in the court has changed color, right? ”

"Grandpa already knows, right?" The Nine Kings were imprisoned for such a big matter, and the intelligence network of the Yun Family's hidden forces was afraid that it would have been reported to the old man long ago. Seeing that the old man bowed slightly, I told Lao Tzu in detail what happened in the palace and Taimiao, as well as my own conjectures. The old man's expression was flat, and I hesitated: "Grandpa, King Jing is now prosperous, are we still up to him?" ”

"Don't you trust your own judgment?" The old man didn't answer directly, but asked me, "Since you suspect that the emperor is using a suspicious strategy, why don't you wait to see the results?" ”

I was choking. yes, why am I so anxious? Or is it because it is related to the life and death of the emperor, so it is chaotic to care? I don't know what kind of feelings I have for the emperor myself. I clearly know that my love has been given to Yun Zheng without reservation, but I still retain a concern for the emperor, for this man who made my heart move when I first entered the world, not that I have no feelings for his intentions, but I am powerless to respond.

"Master Hou!" Yunde shouted outside the door.

"Come in!" The old man said.

Yun De entered the room and owed a debt: "Master Hou, young lady, the official media has brought some portraits and is waiting in the flower hall." ”

That Mama Liu is really a quick person, and she moves so fast. I glanced at the old man and said with a smile: "Grandpa, I'll take a look." ”

The old man nodded, looked at me meaningfully, and said, "Girl, I'm bothering you." ”

"That's as it should be, grandpa." I smiled calmly, "Maybe it won't be long before we have a happy event in the Hou Mansion." ”

Xiaohong pushed me to the flower hall, and when Mama Liu saw me coming in, she quickly got up and said, "Give Mrs. Ronghua a salute!" ”

"Mama Liu, you're welcome." I glanced at the scrolls piled up on the table and said with a smile, "Mama Liu, are these the girls you picked?" ”

"Yes, ma'am." Mama Liu picked up a picture scroll and walked in front of me, "The concubine followed the instructions of the lady and selected the daughters of six families. They are Li Xinyi, the daughter of Master Li Guanting in the Hubu Langzhong, Lin Yayun, the daughter of Lord Lin Guanxing of the Hanlin Academy, Miss Wanting of the Zhou family in Runan, Miss Ling Xue of the Xuanyi Bai family, and the daughter of the 'Tianmaxing' Jin family, and the daughter of the 'Fulu' jewelry gold house, and the daughter of the gold house of the 'Fulu' jewelry gold house......"

"Fulu?" I was slightly stunned, isn't that the Fu Dakang family? Suddenly remembered that Fu Dakang still has seven sisters, four sisters are married, and three younger sisters are waiting for the boudoir, wouldn't it be such a coincidence?

When Mama Liu saw my expression, she thought that I was interested in the daughter of the rich family, so she quickly took out her face scroll: "Mrs. Ronghua, although the rich family is a merchant, it is also one of the largest merchants in our Tiancao country, although this Miss Pearl is a concubine, but her biological mother died early, and she was raised by Mrs. Zhengmu since she was a child, and she has dabbled in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her appearance is dignified......

"Isn't the rich family in Cangdu?" I interrupted her lightly, "Why do you have her portrait too?" "The Runan Zhou family and the Xuanyi Bai family are also families in the corner, and the Xuanyi Bai family is still Yun Zheng's mother family, but these big families have too many side branches, and they are also scattered in Beijing, but they are not necessarily all in Xuanyi.

"Madam, the official media records of the Household Registration Department not only contain the information of the daughters of Beijing officials and civil and military foreign officials stationed all over the country, but also the archives of the daughters of major families, which are changed year by year, mainly for the emperor's draft, and the official family chooses to marry, which is convenient for checking the files and recording them on the basis of merit. The daughters of large merchants can also spend a lot of money to store the files of the ladies in the official media. Mama Liu explained.

"I see." I smiled, took the portrait of the rich pearl, and saw that the painting was painted with a girl wearing gold and silver, and she looked beautiful, but the outfit concealed her temperament, and she wanted to come to the rich family to be cautious, and paid too much attention to showing the wealth of the family, but it was a bit of putting the cart before the horse. ”

"You don't need to look at the daughter of the Bai family, show me the portrait of the daughter of the Zhou family." I asked her to take the portrait. The Bai family is the maiden family of Yun Zheng's mother Bai Yujin, and it is the fifth generation of Xuanyi's family, and there are daughters of the right age, so they should have received flower posts in the last draft, how could there be a portrait missing from the official media? But this is not the reason why I vetoed the Bai family, although Yun Zheng's mother strangled Qiluo by mistake, but it is also a fact that An Yuanxi's biological mother died in her hands, and then let him marry the daughter of the Bai family, how can he be embarrassed?

The Zhou family in Runan is also a prestigious family, and when I opened Miss Zhou's portrait, I saw a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth standing by the tree with a hibiscus and smiling. After reading the information on the side, I had a slight abruptness and said with a smile: "Are the daughters of the Bai family and the Zhou family not yet married, so they didn't receive the draft post?" ”

"Madame is right." Mama Liu saw that I didn't read the information of the Bai family's daughter, and she only talked about Zhou Wanting with interest, "Miss Wanting of the Zhou family is fifteen this year, and she will be in March next year, so she missed this draft." If Mrs. Zhou likes the Zhou family, she can be hired first, and next year Miss Zhou and Lu will marry again. ”

The custom of the Kingdom of Heaven is that both men and women are sixteen years old to hold the Chengren ceremony, the man wears the crown, and the woman and the flute. I nodded, and asked her to unfold the portraits of the daughters one by one in turn, the daughter of the Li family is dignified and soft, the daughter of the Lin family is elegant and beautiful, and the daughter of the Jin family is eye-catching, but I saw a beautiful girl in red on the painting, riding on a horse, with a heroic spirit between her eyebrows. Only then did I remember that the Jin family controlled the horse selling business of the entire Tiancao Kingdom, and also had business dealings with the Chenxing Kingdom and the Yaoyue Kingdom, and it was not surprising that the daughter of the Jin family was so sassy. I nodded with satisfaction, the gold is inlaid with jade, the name is also good, and it is vulgar and elegant. Mama Liu is really carefully selected, these young ladies are all excellent, as long as the Yun family separately determines whether each young lady is as she painted.

"Thank you, Grandma Liu." After I finished reading the portraits, I asked Ning'er to give her a reward silver, and said with a smile, "These portraits will stay in the Hou Mansion, and wait for the Yun family to choose which young lady to choose, and then ask Mama Liu to be the matchmaker." ”

"Young lady!" Xin'er stepped into the flower hall, "The second young master has something to see you." ”

I was stunned: "Please let him in." He turned his head to Mama Liu and said, "Mama Liu, you go back first." Mama Liu gave a salute and withdrew, just bumping into An Yuanxi coming in the door, she raised her eyes and glanced at him, with a look of surprise in her eyes, but she was not as troubled as other matchmakers, and praised a few words like "heroic and extraordinary", just gave a salute and left the room.

An Yuanxi didn't look at her, but stepped forward and said, "Ning'er, Xiaohong, you go out first!" ”

Ning'er went out obediently, but Xiaohong looked at me silently, and I said softly: "You go out first!" Xiaohong glanced at An Yuanxi and withdrew a little reluctantly. I turned to him: "You...... What are you looking for me? You sit down first......"

Since I knew that An Yuanxi was a ghost-faced man, I didn't know how to face him, if he was simply An Yuanxi, I might have been able to maintain the etiquette on the scene with him so politely and detachedly, but now he is not only An Yuanxi, he is also a ghost-faced man, a ghost-faced man who saved me in danger three or four times, he is still Noor's life, my surname, and even Noor's surname, he rescued him. For a person who has saved my life many times, can I still be so cold and polite?

"Sister-in-law, doesn't you want to know the truth of the news from the dark pile next to King Jing?" On the contrary, An Yuanxi was calmer than me, he sat down and said, "I have already found out." ”

"Really?" I hurriedly said, "Is that news true or false?" ”

"The news is true." An Yuanxi nodded, "Wuji Gate is indeed a force secretly cultivated by King Jing, and the master of the front door, Chu Yan, is just a pawn that obeys his orders, but this chess piece is getting stronger and stronger, and King Jing gradually can't control it, so he has a murderous intention, and the Gu King designed to plant a spider for Chu Yan, and when the court searched for him because of the Shouwang case, he caused a poison surrender and was hacked to death by officers and soldiers ...... with knives."
