Chapter 97
Yu Wenhui said solemnly: "It's not a joke, how can you talk nonsense?" ”
Yu Jinyuan hurriedly said: "Father, the child is serious, in fact, Miss Dou's name, the child is not the first time to hear it, Song Wen has already said that now that he is the prince's companion, he can ask the prince!" ”
Song Wen is the eldest son of the Song family, his father is Song You, the current left servant of the household department, who played Keju with the emperor with Yu Wenshu, and has also risen to the top over the years and has become a hot figure in the court.
However, this person is Cheng Shun's party.
Yu Wenshu didn't expect Yu Jinyuan to know Song You's son, and said seriously: "He's your friend?" ”
Yu Jinyuan showed disdain: "Naturally not, it's just that we occasionally have parties, and he often comes with the third son of the Qi family, often showing off, saying how close he is to the prince, as if the prince still owes him a favor." ”
Yu Wenhui breathed a sigh of relief and advised: "You need to be cautious when making friends, you can't get close to such crazy words." ”
"The child knows the way."
"And what are you going to do?" Yu Wenhui asked again.
Yu Jinyuan said with a smile: "I tempted him into the game, anyway, he has already coveted Miss Dou, if he hears that the Dou family has the intention of marrying our family, he will definitely not be convinced, I will find someone to bewitch one or two, he will go to the prince." ”
"Will this idea?" Jiang Xuehui frowned, "Will the prince help him?" ”
"I guess so." Yu Jinyuan can't say that he is completely sure, "The prince is lenient, and Song Wen is his companion, although he says big words, it may not be all fake, and the Song family's family background is not bad." ”
Yu Wenshu nodded: "This plan is feasible." ”
Cheng Shun taught the prince, and Song You is Cheng Shun's person, so it stands to reason that they are a family.
Dou Zhaochen is too greedy to choose their Yu family.
If the Yu family also sided with the prince, it would not be a good thing for the prince.
As long as the emperor is in power, he is afraid of everyone, and the more power gathered around the crown prince, the more dangerous it is.
"Jin Yuan, your brain is spinning really fast!" Jiang Sumei patted him approvingly on the shoulder, "It's much better than my idea, you are a good hot potato, but there is one thing to pay attention to, it is best to cook raw rice and mature rice, let that Song Wen not tell his father to ask the prince first, then it would be the best!" ”
After all, Cheng Shun was forced to become the prince's teacher, not necessarily he was really willing in his heart, and Song Wen was only a friend of Cheng Shun, and he was not necessarily a loyal princeling, so if he was foolproof, he would cut first and then play.
When the time comes, the prince agrees, and even if Song You is unwilling, it is difficult to object.
The bitter water can only be swallowed in the stomach.
Yu Jinyuan said with a smile: "The second aunt is right, tomorrow's party, my nephew will do his best!" ”
After the two came out, the sky was completely dark, and the moonlight shone down, reflecting on Yu Wenshu's body, and the silver embroidered four gentlemen's patterns on the hem of his plain robe shone with a little light, like ripples drawn by fish on the lake, moving with their footsteps, sparkling.
It's really good-looking, Jiang Sumei thought to herself, next time I'll make him two more like this.
Yu Wenshu held her hand: "Be careful, be careful if you fall, what are you thinking?" ”
"It's nothing." Jiang Sumei raised her head and smiled: "But our Jin Yuan is also a little fox, it is really wonderful to think of this idea, it depends on whether the prince will agree." ”
Yu Wenshu didn't answer for a while, his fingers rubbing lightly on the back of her hand.
It tickled her, and she felt good.
"If the crown prince is smarter, we don't have to worry about this matter, if it is ......" Yu Wenshu thought secretly, if he was stupid, then he would agree to Song Wen's request, after all, the situation of the Song family is good.
But this matter is always subject to change.
"What did you originally have in mind?" Jiang Sumei was curious.
The corners of Yu Wenshu's mouth raised: "Didn't you say that I was an old fox?" How can I tell you? ”
He asked rhetorically: "You called Jin Yuanlai, what is your idea?" ”
"Mrs. Yongkang Hou uses me, and I have to use her as well." Jiang Sumei raised her eyebrows and said, "Their family just wants to continue their wealth with the power of the prince in the future, if she knows that our family and their Yongkang Hou Mansion are not of the same mind at all, and even hinder them, she will definitely add destruction." When the time comes, as long as Jin Yuan makes a small mistake, she will make a big announcement, and Mrs. Dou will definitely retreat, it can be seen that Mrs. Dou loves Miss Dou very much, and will never let her be wronged. ”
After she finished speaking, she smiled again: "But there is a risk, it is better to be Jin Yuan's method, it doesn't matter if it succeeds or not, anyway, it can be stabbed to the prince." ”
Yu Wenshu looked at her with a smile: "You think pretty well, you only need to improve." ”
"Improved into a female fox?" She quipped.
"You already are!"
Jiang Sumei punched him twice, frowned again, and said, "Our Tingyuan is not like a little fox." ”
"And what do you think he looks like?"
"Like a deer!" Too docile and never mischievous.
Yu Wenshu smiled: "Isn't this very good, what are we doing with a litter of foxes?" Originally, the Great Thousand Generations of Lu Realm were different, and it was good for Ting Yuan to do this. ”
Jiang Sumei was stunned, then held his hand and asked, "Then do you want Ting Yuan to be like you in the future?" ”
He didn't answer right away.
The court is full of ups and downs, and the people in it often have to face the sudden attack of the crisis, he has experienced enough, it is undeniable, sometimes there are thoughts of retreat, especially after having a wife and children, but, how can he be willing in his heart?
In order to show his ambitions and the future of the Yu family, he must not give up.
But there is no complete, eternal victory in the world!
Perhaps, he can only be himself?
Even Yu Tingyuan, although he is his own son, as a father, he may not be able to control the direction of his life.
Fathers are an example, but who can say that fathers are not happy?
"Let him choose." Yu Wenshu sighed in a low voice, "He is still young now, and he will naturally understand his own way in the future, let's only teach the truth of being a man, and let him be a man who stands up to the sky." ”
So open-minded!
Jiang Sumei was shocked.
"How?" He looked down at her.
"Naturally!" Jiang Sumei raised her hands in approval.
He laughed softly, in fact, he knew that Jiang Sumei was thinking like this.
"Look, the moon is so round!" She looked up and pointed to the sky.
"It's about to be the Mid-Autumn Festival." Yu Wenshu said with a smile, "Invite your grandmother and brother-in-law to come and get together." "As for the Jiang family, there are too many of them, but it's not necessary, but if the Yu family has few people, it's still a little deserted.
"Okay, I'll talk to my mother then."
The two went back to enjoy the moon all the way.
On the second day, Yu Jinyuan really went to a party with those sons and brothers.
There is a way to gather like things, and these sons of Kyoto are also hierarchical, like Yu Jinyuan is already a lifting person, so those who often play with him are generally lifting people, at least they are also talents, otherwise they have no fame, even if others don't say it, they will be very uncomfortable.
Therefore, although this Song Wen's mouth is a little unreliable, he is talented and learned, and he was admitted to the Jinshi and entered the Hanlin Academy early, so he can study as a prince companion, so he is also very proud.
On this day, when he heard that the Dou family had this meaning, Song Wen immediately became very unhappy.
That Dou Xiu is the prince's cousin, he once saw it, shocked by the heavens, and never forgot it, but he was also a little ashamed of himself, and he didn't dare to climb high, but when they talked about the beauties of Kyoto, he would always say that Dou Xiu must be the first.
The love in the eyes is nowhere to hide.
However, the Dou family would actually take a fancy to Yu Jinyuan!
Song Wen's self-confidence rose suddenly, this Yu Jinyuan's talent and learning are not as good as him, if you want to talk about advantages, it is a little better than him, then Yu Jinyuan can, can't he?
Song Wen guessed as Yu Jinyuan guessed, and he really gave birth to this heart.
When Yu Jinyuan learned about it, he asked his confidant to go and tell Song Wen that he would try to ask the prince, and said that it might not be possible, so don't tell Song You for the time being, so as not to lose and be embarrassed, anyway, the prince and him will know each other.
If it is done, it is not too late to tell Song You, Song Wen's heart is tied to Dou Xiu, and when he found this opportunity, when he entered the palace to meet the prince, he knelt down and begged boldly.
The prince looked at Song Wen who was lying on the ground, and he didn't react for a while.
Why did Song Wen suddenly want to marry Dou Xiu?
After a while, I remembered that Dou Xiu was already fourteen years old!
He flicked his sleeve: "Don't mention this matter in the future." ”
Song Wen's body froze, the prince meant to refuse, he raised his head to look at the prince, only to see that the prince's face was calm, and he was not angry, he once again boldly said: "Your Highness, instead of marrying the young master of the Yu family, Miss Dou should marry the lower official!" ”
"What?" The prince frowned, "Where did you hear that?" ”
"Mrs. Dou took Miss Dou to meet Mrs. Yu Da Shao, so naturally it was for this matter."
The prince was finally a little angry, it turned out that his uncle was going to marry Dou Xiu to the Yu family, but he didn't come to talk to him about this kind of thing!
"Go down!"
Song Wen saw that the prince was unhappy this time, and he was very dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't dare to continue to entangle, so he had to retreat.
The crown prince soon went to the emperor.
"I haven't seen my uncle for a long time, and my son wants to go and see it." The crown prince asked the emperor for approval, and as the crown prince, it was not easy to leave the palace.
This Dou Zhaochen's illness is considered serious, but the prince rarely visits, why do you want to go today? The emperor looked at him scrutinically, since the empress was assassinated, Yang Su fled, and the emperor actually thought about it, and also suspected the crown prince.
It must be known that in this palace, there is also a prince, the son of Concubine De Niangniang can't be the prince, and it is very unpleasant to look at the current prince, so naturally some wind blew and led the matter to the prince.
But the emperor was not sure that the prince did it, after all, during this time, the prince was very humble and respectful, and after Liu was frightened, he often went to visit, and there was a bit of maternal and filial piety between the two.
The emperor said, "Go, your uncle is also suffering, you can take the royal physician to show him." ”
The prince received the order and took the imperial physician to the Dou family.
Hearing that the prince was coming, Dou Zhaochen and Mrs. Dou were shocked.
It seems like it's been about two years since the last time, right? Mrs. Dou hurriedly ordered someone to make a pot of tea, and helped Dou Zhaochen get out of bed, and the two of them stood upright, waiting for the prince to come in.
"Uncle, aunt." The prince was very polite, "Uncle is not in good health, please sit down." ”
Dou Zhaochen's body was indeed weak, so he thanked him and sat down.
Mrs. Dou asked Dou Xiu to come out and meet the prince again.
This cousin is getting more and more beautiful, and the prince thinks to himself, no wonder Song Wen wants to marry her so much!
"I wonder why His Highness came here suddenly?" Dou Zhaochen's eyes were swollen a bit like fish bubble eyes, he was very strange in his heart, and he had some bad premonitions, "I didn't say it in advance, I didn't prepare for it at home." ”
"It's okay, just to take a look at my uncle." The prince asked the imperial physician to take Dou Zhaochen's pulse.
Dou Zhaochen waved his hand: "That's it, no matter how you look at it, it's the same, it's better if you don't look at me, you don't have to eat those messy medicines." His expression was gloomy, "Your mother knew the Tao when she was there, and I was most afraid of hardship." ”
The prince pursed his lips.
Dou Zhaochen's favorite mention in front of him is his mother Dou Qing, who has never slackened off after many years.
In fact, needless to mention, his mother's voice and appearance have never faded in his memory.
The prince didn't speak, and with a wave of his hand, he asked the prince to retreat.
After a short lull.
Dou Zhaochen said: "I heard that the prince and the queen mother get along well? ”
The voice is slightly snarky.
The prince said: "It's just a daily ritual." ”
"You didn't see her much before!" Dou Zhaochen said in a heavy tone, "Don't forget your mother, your mother is negligent, just think she is an easy person to deal with, but in fact, her heart is like a snake and scorpion!" ”
The poisoning must have been something she came up with and acted by herself, so that her sister was abolished!
The crown prince sighed: "What does my uncle want me to do?" ”
"I hope you don't forget these things!" Dou Zhaochen □, "We have lost so much, we will have to get it back one day!" ”
The crown prince stared at Dou Zhaochen, and after a while, he lowered his eyes and said, "Uncle wants to marry the Yu family?" ”
Dou Zhaochen was stunned, he didn't expect the prince to know, and said a little angrily: "Are you still spying on me?" ”
"No, I don't need to watch, there are others watching." The prince's tone was light.
Dou Zhaochen's face changed, he only thought that the emperor was spying on him, and suddenly cold sweat broke out from his forehead.
"I hope my uncle will stop, my cousin is beautiful and simple, why do you need to marry her to the Yu family? It's better to find a simple family background. The prince looked at Mrs. Dou, "Uncle also wants her cousin to be well?" ”
Mrs. Dou didn't know what to say, so she only nodded.
"That's it." The prince stood up, "Uncle take a good rest, don't think about anything else." ”
Dou Zhaochen grabbed his hand: "Don't I think about it anymore?" His face was a little hideous, but his voice was as low as a mosquito, "Didn't you call someone to assassinate the queen?" Renyu, Uncle will always be on your side! ”
The prince's body trembled: "Uncle, this matter is not my doing!" ”
"Isn't it?" Dou Zhaochen smiled dumbly, "Why do you want to act in front of your uncle!" ”
"Uncle......" The prince was helpless.
He knew that Dou Zhaochen didn't believe it, so he didn't explain anymore, pulled out his hand and said goodbye.
Mrs. Dou asked softly, "Xianggong, what about Xiu'er?" ”
"Just forget it for now, don't worry." Dou Zhaochen didn't want to listen to the prince, so he casually married Dou Xiu to a small family, anyway, his daughter is not too old, and it will not be a problem to wait a few years.
Mrs. Dou also listened.
The prince sat back in the carriage, his forehead already a little wet.
He wiped it with a silk scarf and let out a long breath.
Back in the palace, the prince sat down slowly, his face heavy.
Wei Tongli, the close eunuch who served him, didn't dare to ask, and only stood aside to accompany him.
After a long while, the prince said softly: "Do you also think that I will send someone to assassinate the queen mother?" ”
Wei Tongli was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "The villain will never think so, His Royal Highness treats the villain with courtesy, even if he makes a mistake, he is also lenient, how can he do such a thing!" ”
"And who do you think it will be?" The prince's fair-skinned and handsome face showed a hint of confusion, "Why did General Yang go to assassinate the queen mother, he just wanted to take revenge on Lord Yu?" This is unlikely. ”
"The villain is also strange." Wei Tongli said, "Or, General Yang may be crazy." ”
The prince smiled: "Don't talk nonsense, how can you plan carefully when you are crazy?" If it weren't for King Jing coming in time, I'm afraid he would have succeeded! ”
Wei Tongli shook his head: "The villain can't figure it out. ”
But the prince was still thinking.
Wei Tongli looked at him, hesitated for a while, and said: "Your Highness, I heard that the emperor seems to have the intention of appointing a crown princess for His Royal Highness." ”
The prince was stunned: "When will it be?" ”
"Just a few days ago, the emperor said to the queen that His Royal Highness is also fifteen, and he will be sixteen at the age ......of sixteen, and the emperor himself is sixteen years old." ”
The prince bit his lip, got up again, and walked around the house.
He hadn't thought about getting married!
However, since the father has an idea, then, I am afraid that it will be put into practice soon, and the funny thing is that he basically has no right to choose, is it really up to the queen to decide the choice of his wife?
What kind of wife would she choose for him?
The prince suddenly stood still, looked out the window, and said to Wei Tongli: "You pay attention to the female dependents who have recently entered the palace!" ”
Wei Tongli hurriedly responded.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and families are busy visiting relatives and giving gifts.
The Yu family is no exception.
On this day, Mrs. Yu was counting the treasury, and the next person reported that Mrs. He of her in-laws was here, along with He Yuan and Yu Wenjun.
When Jiang Sumei heard that Yu Wenjun was coming, she naturally couldn't stay, so she hurriedly went to see her sister-in-law.
Yu Wenjun's belly is already very big at this time, and he will have to give birth in a month or two, so it stands to reason that he shouldn't come out.
He Yuan hurriedly said: "I said that I missed you, so I took the initiative to bring her here, and I didn't have to squeeze with other people's sedan chairs, and I brought Wen Po's with me." ”
Second Mrs. Yu is very satisfied, her son-in-law is still very thoughtful, this time it must be Yu Wenjun willful, so she has to come, so she smiled and said to Mrs. He: "Don't blame Wenjun for my in-laws, I used to spoil her too much, if she has something wrong, you can say her!" ”
This is naturally polite, in fact, where is there really a mother who is willing to see her daughter being educated, it is wrong, and I hope that the other party will tolerate it, even if it is to teach gentlely, it is the best.
Mrs. He smiled: "Look at what Mrs. In-law said, what can Wen Jun do wrong, our family is in pain like something, where is there what I said." ”
As soon as these words came out, Second Mrs. Yu's face was a little embarrassed.
Jiang Sumei couldn't help but look at Yu Wenjun.
Fools can see that this Mrs. He has an opinion on Yu Wenjun!
What's going on? Yu Wenjun is now pregnant with He Yuan's flesh and blood, maybe he is still a son, and Mrs. He should restrain herself at this time, even if she has grievances.
Jiang Sumei frowned, is it a big problem, she actually wants to show it in front of Second Mrs. Yu?
