Chapter 5: Shocking Changes in the Family
Yu Wenming returned to the mansion, and after handing back the exit sign to the horse steward, he walked towards his home.
When he arrived at home, he saw that there was no one and his mother was not in the room, and he did not know where he had gone.
He sat down in a chair, but before he could breathe, he heard a rush of footsteps outside the door.
No sooner had he stood up than someone had already rushed into the house. I saw that she was a little girl with pigtails, about eleven or twelve years old, very lovely, with a pair of big black eyes that were as clear as black gems.
Although her clothes are not gorgeous, it can be seen that her identity must not be simple. It should be a girl with the identity of Miss Fuchu.
This little girl has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, especially her delicate face and white and tender skin, which makes people sigh that she will definitely be a stunning beauty when she grows up.
As soon as she walked into the house, she was so anxious that she shouted, "Brother Ming, where have you gone?" I searched everywhere. If it hadn't been for the horse steward just now, I wouldn't have known you'd been back......"
"Sister Yuqing, are you looking for me?" Yu Wenming looked at the little girl, stunned for a long time, and finally remembered.
This Yuqing is Yuwen Yuqing, the youngest daughter of Yu Wenhua, because she ranks third, she is called the third lady in the house. In this mansion, only this sister has the best relationship with him and often helps him, otherwise Yu Wenming's situation will be even worse.
"Yes, an hour ago, I saw my grandfather angrily looking for my father, so I was curious and followed. After eavesdropping under the window for a long time, I realized that something big had happened......" Yuwen Yuqing said eagerly.
"What's the big deal?" At this time, Xiao Wanjun also happened to walk in from outside the door, just in time to hear Yuwen Yuqing's words.
"Oh, auntie, that's ......" Yuwen Yuqing frowned slightly, and Fang slowly said the news she had heard.
It turned out that Yu Wenming was a matter of Yu Wenhua and his illegitimate child, and Yu Wenhua had always been a great shame, and he had never reported it to his father Yu Wenshu. At the same time, he also strictly ordered the people in the palace not to talk about this matter. so as not to affect his career in the court.
But he is also a swinger, except for letting his wife Yuan send a regular amount of money to Xiao Wanjun and Yu Wenming's mother and son every month, he will leave him alone. is idle in the city all day long, bullying men and women, known as the notoriety of "light and thin son".
What he did had long aroused the dissatisfaction of the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Qingliu of the DPRK, especially his political enemy, Yang Xuangan, the secretary of the military department, had been collecting materials on his crimes and preparing to impeach him.
And at this critical moment, his handle fell into the hands of Yang Xuangan.
"Handle? Yu Wenhua and what handle was caught by Yang Xuangan? After Yu Wenming heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised. I wondered how this kind of thing could make Yuwen Yuqing run to tell him. Can I still help?
"Brother Ming, you don't know, this handle has a lot to do with you!" Yuwen Yuqing said with an anxious expression.
"Something to do with me? What's going on? The more Yu Wenming listened, the more confused he became.
Yuwen Yuqing sighed and said carefully.
It turned out that Yu Wenhua didn't expect that the Yuan family would only give Xiao Wanqiu two pieces of money every month. So much so that when Yu Wenming was seriously ill some time ago, he had no money for treatment.
When she went to the Jishan Hall in the Eastern Capital City to find the doctor with superb medical skills to seek treatment for Yu Wenming, she was refused medical treatment because she could not pay the consultation fee.
And Xiao Wanjun was anxious to save her son, so she claimed to the doctor that her son was the illegitimate son of Shaoqing Yu Wenhua, the imperial servant of the dynasty, and as long as the treatment was successful, the Yuwen family would definitely pay the arrears.
But where did the doctor believe it, he only said that this woman was talking nonsense. So he ordered the medicine servant to drive Xiao Wanjun out of the clinic, and told the matter as a joke at a banquet.
I didn't expect that the speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. In the banquet, there happened to be a supervisor of the Imperial History Observatory Yang Xuanxian, who was none other than Yu Wenhua's political enemy, Yang Xuangan, the younger brother of Yang Xuangan, the secretary of the Ministry of War. After he heard about it, he suddenly felt that there was a strange thing to live in, so he sent someone to investigate secretly.
Yu Wenming is a matter of Yu culture and illegitimate children, and many people in the Yuwen Mansion know it. Although Yu Wenhua and had ordered not to spread the word. But as long as a person with a heart is willing to take money to buy, how can there be a reason that he can't inquire.
As a result, Yang Xuanxuan quickly collected relevant evidence, and together with his brother Yang Xuangan, he jointly signed a petition to the current saint Yang Guang, saying that Yu Wenhua had committed adultery with the maid in the family and gave birth to an illegitimate child.
Yang Guang then summoned Yuwenshu, reprimanded him angrily, and asked him to go home to investigate and then report the results back to him.
Yu Wenshu, who was kept in the dark, naturally found himself as a rebel in anger after learning about it, and asked Yu Wenhua about the facts.
"Brother Ming, when I heard this, I felt that the matter was very important, so I hurried over to find you. I think you'd better find a place to hide. Otherwise, the saint will be held accountable, and it will be troublesome! Yuwen Yuqing said anxiously.
"Yes! Ming'er, without further ado, let's go to Steward Ma immediately and take out the door sign, and get out of here quickly. After Xiao Wanjun heard this, she was also a little scared in her heart.
She knows that Yu Wenhua and her mother and son are not welcome to each other, and in order to avoid the saint's accountability, she will kill her mother and son.
After Yu Wenming heard this shocking news, he was also shocked at first. His first instinct was to run away. But he immediately thought of a big question: Although the world is big, where can his mother and son go to hide?
His mother, Xiao Wanjun, is an official slave, and once she escapes, she will be published by the whole country. Moreover, as soon as the magistrate heard that it was the official slave of the Yuwen family, the number one lord in Guanlong, he ran away, and he would work even harder to chase it. He is also a weak scholar, he has no power to restrain the chicken, and after leaving the Yuwen family, what can he do to make a living?
"Mother, Yuqing, don't worry! Let's think about it in the long run......" Yu Wenming had calmed down at this time.
He paced a few steps around the room, and after thinking about it for a moment, he said with joy: "Don't worry! In my opinion, there is no need to panic too much about this, for our mother and son, I am afraid it may not be a bad thing! ”
"Oh? How can it not be a bad thing? You must know that all this matter has gone to the Holy One. I want Grandpa to find out. Yuwen Yuqing blinked a pair of big black eyes and asked puzzledly.
She could see very clearly that her grandfather was furious. She had never seen her grandfather so angry with her father.
Yu Wenming had completely calmed down at this time, and he had already thought through the joints.
"Yu Qing, think about it, if the saint really listens to Yang Xuangan's words, he will remove his father from his official position. The person who came to investigate this matter should be an official of the Imperial Historical Tower. How could you let your grandfather investigate the affairs of the family by himself? Isn't this a clear plan to release the water and let grandpa and father find a way to solve this matter on their own? Yu Wenming smiled slightly.
When he said this, Yuwen Yuqing's big eyes suddenly lit up, secretly thinking that this is the truth!
"But...... But your father has never been very kind to our mother and son, and even when you are so seriously ill this time, he has never come to see you, let alone sent anyone to deliver medicine and money. He might ......," Xiao Wanjun said with some concern.
Yu Wenming knew what her mother meant, and she was worried that Yu Wenhua would be bad for her mother and son, and even kill people.
"Auntie, I don't think so!" Yuwen Yuqing shook his head firmly at this time and said: "Although Daddy doesn't take care of his family much, he is not so bad as to poison his own son, and the tiger poison does not eat children, let alone a person?" And I know my grandfather very well, he loves his children and grandchildren very much, after knowing that he has an extra grandson, it is too late to feel distressed, how can he allow such a murder of parents and children! ”
Yu Wenming nodded and said, "Yu Qing is right! That's what I thought, too. Therefore, according to my deference, the most likely result of the discussion between my grandfather and my father is to quickly let my father take my mother as a side room, and at the same time recognize me as an ancestor. In this way, you can report to the saint, saying that there is no selfish child in Yuwen's family, and I am the concubine born to a concubine. This is an afterthought, though. But as long as the Holy One is willing to turn a blind eye, he will be safe and deal with the past! ”
After listening to Yu Wenming's analysis, Yuwen Yuqing and Xiao Wanjun both felt very reasonable.
After the two women glanced at each other, they both saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes. How could the Mind Universe Civilization be so shrewd and analyze so thoroughly? Could it be that after a serious illness, it opened his mind?
Yuwen Yuqing quickly left after letting go of the big stone in her heart.
At this time, Yu Wenming said to Xiao Wanjun with a smile on his face: "Mother, what do you think this is?" ”
He put the sixty yuan he had earned from selling poems and Chai Shao on the rotten table in the house.
"Oh my God! So much money? Where did you get that? It can't be stealing, right? Seeing this, Xiao Wanjun was immediately startled.
Yu Wenming was suddenly made to cry and laugh, why did he give his mother's first reaction to steal it?
He coughed dryly a few times and sneered: "Mother, this is earned by a child!" When I arrived at the Four Seas Book House, I saw that they were going to collect poems, so I composed two poems on the spot......"
After that, he briefly told the story of selling poems.
The more Xiao Wanjun listened, the more shocked she became, she didn't expect that after Yu Wenming's serious illness, not only did her brain open up, but she also had an extra talent for poetry out of thin air.
"Oh my God! Isn't it the spirit of father and mother in heaven to bless our mother and son! It's made such a huge difference! ”
She was overjoyed for a moment, then pulled Yu Wenming up and walked to the innermost part of the house, where there was an incense shrine where two spiritual seats were enshrined.
Xiao Wanjun knelt down in front of the spiritual seat at this time, and then reverently put his hands together and said, "Father, Lord is above!" Mother-sama! With the blessing of your spirits in heaven, my daughter finally saw a glimmer of light. Ming'er is about to get the approval of his biological father! will officially become a member of the Yuwen family! And he is also gifted and intelligent, and his mind is quick...... The future is limitless! May your heavenly spirits continue to bless your grandson! Strive to make him get ahead in the future, and his career will be smooth sailing, and his daughter will be able to return to her hometown with Ming'er's clothes......"
Yu Wenming knew that this was the spiritual seat of his grandfather and grandmother. The old couple both died of illness shortly after Nan Chen's demise. But every time my mother celebrates Qingming and the New Year, she has to take him to worship their spiritual seat. Her demeanor is respectful, which shows that she has a deep relationship with her grandparents.
With a "poof", Yu Wenming also knelt beside Xiao Wanjun, followed the example of his mother, put his hands together, and bowed a few times to the spiritual seat of his grandparents. In his heart, he also said silently: "Please ask my grandparents to bless my grandchildren to work hard in the future, emerge, and break out of the world in the troubled times at the end of the Great Sui Dynasty!" ”
