Chapter 852: Awakening
On the eve of the first day, the palace set up a banquet, and the hundred officials led their families to the palace to go to the banquet, but the Lu Wangfu was rarely absent, and the Lu Wangfu sent someone to hurriedly enter the palace to say leave to the emperor.
The emperor sent his henchman eunuch to visit King Lu's mansion, and the queen also sent people to bring medicinal materials and imperial doctors to go, and everyone at the palace banquet talked about it, all of them were talking about Chu Mingxin, some people said that she had a hard life, first defeated her ex-husband Fuyang Hou and his family, and then defeated her step-husband and her husband, and went back to her mother's house to live, so she killed her step-grandmother, and now it seems that her grandfather will not be able to bear it!
The whispers during the banquet came and went, although most of them were chiseled and echoed, but most of the examples of evidence were facts, everyone knew that the fall of the Fuyang Marquis Mansion was inseparable from the Queen Mother, and the Fuyang Marquis committed those things, the nobles and senior generals present who had not done it, it was just the severity of the plot.
Speaking of which, it was also the Queen Mother and the Fuyang Marquis Mansion who didn't know how to restrain themselves, and they dared to barn Mrs. Fan, tsk, thinking that forcing Mrs. Fan's grandson out of the capital would be soft? Hey! People don't face the Yang family for the sake of the emperor everywhere, oh, yes, I can't call her the queen mother anymore! I have to call Da Yang instead, Da Yang has no grace to raise today, nor does he support Cong Long's work, just relying on a filial piety word, I want to press the emperor for a lifetime? When the emperor never fights back, right?
Look, the Yang family killed the ex-son-in-law Zhu family in front, and they would never have imagined that it would be their turn to be happy and sad at that time. Chu Mingxin had already reconciled with Yang Shiyi Lang and gone to Dongjing, right? So what does the Yang family's bad luck have to do with her? At most, King Lu can't look down on the Marquis of Fuyang's mansion, and secretly makes a black hand! But this is also normal, who is happy that their daughter is reconciled and separated by her in-laws, although it is not divorced or divorced, but no matter what, this reputation is always affected!
At the palace banquet, not only the outer women were talking, but even the inner women were also talking in a low voice, but most of them were talking about the big and small Yang in a mocking tone. As for Chu Mingxin? It has nothing to do with them. It doesn't matter if she gives birth to a boy or a girl, it has nothing to do with them, it is the grandson of the king of Dongjing, as long as King Lu doesn't feel sorry for his daughter's widowhood. I want to marry a third time. Just pick a son in their family.
This year's palace banquet was because of the absence of the Da Yang family. The atmosphere in the palace was very good, and the Da Yang family did not attend in previous years, but she was paralyzed. When a foreign woman enters the palace for a banquet, she always has to go to her to ask for a peace to show respect, now! Even if she was alive, they wouldn't have to say hello to her.
"I don't know, the emperor has taken a fancy to that girl to be a stepconcubine for King Huai?" Concubine Wu who asked was a little old, and it can be seen that her appearance should not be bad when she was young, but now she has been drowned by bitterness, and the family sent her into the palace in the hope that if she can give birth to a son and a half daughter, so as to bring her family to a higher level, but unfortunately she was calculated by Concubine Yang as soon as she entered the palace and lost her child.
Recently, because it was rumored that the emperor wanted to choose a concubine for King Huai, Wu Concubine's mother couldn't wait to enter the palace to find out.
"Who knows!" Concubine Liu, who replied, glared at her impatiently, she has been attached to Concubine Yang since she entered the palace, Concubine Yang was degraded, and even with them, the little concubines who were attached to her were not having a good time, when Concubine Yang was there, she did not take much care of them, but as Concubine Yang lost power, the situation of the palace people snubbing them little concubines became more and more serious.
Concubine Wu is okay, although her father is only a fifth-grade official, but he is a Beijing official, how can he be like her, her father and her brothers are still staying up in the northwest camp! The year before last, she was fortunate enough to give birth to a daughter, but since then, the emperor has never set foot in her palace, and she is now worried about her daughter's future! No matter who the emperor wants to choose for King Huai, whose girl will be his stepconcubine!
The conversation between the two of them didn't attract too much attention, because everyone was talking about it.
Fan Anyang did not attend the palace banquet, the Du family only Du Xiang and Master Du attended, Du Yunxun led his wife and children and younger brothers and sisters to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together, Du Sanjie and the fourth young master were only older than Xiaoxu, the three little dolls got together, at first it was a little strange, but after a while, the three people made a fuss, the fourth young master was very old, holding Xiaoxu's hand and running around chasing the third girl.
The third girl is completely different from her aunt's cowardice, she is a lively and outgoing character, Fan Anyang thought she would be more like her aunt's temperament, but she didn't expect it to be the same thing at all.
The fourth young master is very calm at a young age, and when he sees him holding Xiaoxu, he doesn't dare to run fast, and he will stop from time to time to see if Xiaoxu is tired, but he is very good at taking care of people.
Fan Anyang held the wine glass and motioned to Du Yunxun to take a look, Du Yunxun glanced at it, and took the wine glass in his wife's hand, "Grandfather is afraid that his aunt will not bring it well, so the people waiting around them are all grandfather's cronies." ”
I see.
Du Yunfang sat aside, watching the three little plays, and didn't know what he was thinking, Fan Anyang nudged her husband and snorted at him, Du Yunxun asked Du Yunfang, "How are you doing in the auction building?" ”
"It's fine." Du Yunfang turned his head and grinned, "A few days ago, Mr. Yan asked me that there were vacancies in auction buildings in Jingzhou, Huzhou and Jizhou, and asked me if I wanted to go." ”
Du Yunxun motioned for him to eat, poured the wine with his own hands, and filled the wine glass in front of Du Yun, "What do you say?" ”
"I said think about it, second brother, you say, I, should I go, or, just stay in Beijing?" He thought of his cousin waiting in the corner when he came out of the auction building that day.
The people waiting around Du Yunfang naturally didn't dare to hide this matter, and Du Yunxun knew as soon as possible that Xiao Wan's nephew was looking for Du Yunfang.
"It's good that you figure it out yourself, no matter how much I say, it's just my opinion, I'm not you, and when I look at your affairs, it's inevitable that I'll be biased, so you have to make your own mind."
Du Yunfang nodded, "I know." It's just that I'm afraid that it's too far away from the capital, so I ......, "My mother and sister have something, I can't take care of it!"
He couldn't say this sentence in front of Du Yunxun, and he still remembered what his mother had done. What did my sister do, but no matter how bad they were, it was his mother and sister in the end.
Du Yunlei has now been sent by Master Du to live in another Zhuangzi, Xiao Wan's is still the same, Du Yunxun admires her strong vitality.
Du Yunfang opened his mouth to speak, but was stopped by Du Yunxun, "If you make a decision, you don't need to tell me, just talk to Manager Yan, and he will make the arrangements." As for. Madam and Yunlei, it's better for you to talk to your father. ”
Du Yunxun forcibly suppressed the strong desire in his heart to put Mrs. Du to death, and he did not take her life with his own hands. It doesn't mean that he forgives her for what she did.
Du Yunfang nodded.
The fourth young master brought his sleepy nephew over. "Second brother? My brother is going to sleep! "He doesn't look like his aunt. The facial features are very similar to Master Du, Du Yunxun reached out to pick up his son, and Xiao Xu leaned on his father's shoulder. Immediately opened his small mouth, yawned heavily, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The fourth young master looked a little envious, he was still young, and he didn't quite understand that the little guy he took all night was not his younger brother, but his nephew.
That look of longing made Du Yunxun involuntarily think of himself when he was young.
He handed his son over to Du Yunfang, and Du Yunfang was stunned, "Don't tell me, you can't even hold a child." Du Yunxun said sarcastically, Du Yunfang came back to his senses and hurriedly took over his little nephew, Xiaoxu was so tired that he didn't wake up after being tossed by his father and uncle.
Du Yunxun stretched out his hand to pick up his younger brother, the fourth young master opened his mouth wide in surprise, the whole person was stunned like a little puppet, he didn't dare to move, Du Yunxun saw him like this, and suddenly felt a sudden sadness, he took the younger brother into his arms, reached out and patted him lightly on his back.
The fourth young master, who had never been held like this since he was a child, felt that his eyes were sour and his nose was sour, but he was still afraid of being thrown down, so his whole body was stiff.
Fan Anyang didn't look over, and turned his head after a long time, "Fourth brother is tired, do you want to sleep?" Come, sleep with your second brother, wait for your grandfather and father to come back, and then your second sister-in-law will wake you up and ask them for a big red envelope. As he spoke, he reached out and pressed the fourth young master's head on Du Yunxun's shoulder.
Probably someone pushed him, and the fourth young master softened, and his little head gently rested on his second brother's shoulder, as if he was afraid that his second brother would be angry if he was pressed hard.
Du Yunxun sighed, reached out and patted his younger brother's little head, "Good, sleep!" This sentence was like a switch, and the fourth young master immediately softened, and the whole person was attached to his second brother's arms.
Du Yunfang looked at this scene, and suddenly thought of the eldest brother's son, when he was in Meizhou, he had also hugged that kid like this, I don't know if the little guy still remembers himself? But he must remember the second brother and the second sister-in-law, just like Xiao Niannian, when that kid was in Beijing, he almost lived in the second brother's house.
Thinking of Xiaobao, he couldn't help but think of the niece who was thrown to death by Wan Gongzi and them...... Although the child was not killed by his own hands, he still died because of him, and he would always think of that moment in his midnight dream, imagining that if he hadn't done what they said at that time, would the child and his former sister-in-law not die?
And because of this, he couldn't help but think about it, he was just a thought, he was used as a gun, and it was always difficult to feel at ease when he was used as a gunman and killed so many people, so how could he be so ruthless and kill Yun Yao and his second brother? Not to mention that later, she killed people and disemboweled!
He always thought that his mother was the best, kindest, and most benevolent person in the world, and the eldest brother and second brother were just like his mother said that they were white-eyed wolves who couldn't be raised, and they smeared her everywhere, but the facts were in front of him, it was his mother who lied, and the second brother didn't smear her, what he said was all the truth......
Yun Yao said that she was deceived by her second sister-in-law's sister, but if she was not greedy, how could she be deceived by the person she met for the first time? Du Yunfang slowly paced back to the room, returned to the inner room, took out a silver ticket from the secret cabinet at the head of the bed, wrote a letter, put it in the envelope when the ink was dry, put the silver ticket in it, and then summoned the servant, "You give this letter to the chief manager, and ask him to send someone to send it to the second girl." ”
"Third Young Master?" The little guy looked at him in astonishment, didn't the third young master know that the old lady and the eldest master didn't want him to interact with Miss Yunlei?
"There will never be a next time!" It's not that he wants to give up Yun Lei, but Yun Lei has already abandoned him when she tried to drug and murder her family! (To be continued......)
