Chapter 83: The Past (3)

Xue Chunyue knew her thoughts, kissed her forehead and said, "Cizhun still has some old things uncleared, when the situation is certain, I will go to Guannan immediately and ask him to come back, okay?" ”

Ye Qinyu nodded obediently, and after thinking for a while, she still asked the question that lingered in her heart, "In the first month of last year, did you go back to Haizhou and see your father?" ”

According to Yi Ruhai's reply during the negotiations in Haizhou, Xue Chenggui knew the ins and outs of Tai Xiangxing, but there was no Tai Xiangxing at all in the first month of last year.

"It seems that nothing can be hidden from Madame's ears."

"Hmph, you don't have much to hide from me?"

"That Yi'an's daughter is my niece's business...... How long is Madame going to hide it from me? ”

How did he know about this?! Ye Qinyu was taken aback, and hurriedly propped himself up and looked straight at him.

The quilt was opened, and the cool air rushed in. Ye Qinyu was only wearing a thin middle coat at this time, and the belly pocket inside no longer knew where he had thrown it, Xue Chunyue was worried that she would be cold, so he hurriedly pressed her back into his arms.

"Alas...... What are you hiding from me? Yi'an's child has nothing to do with me, and I don't care who it has to do with it. ”

"You and Pei Qi are brothers after all, I'm worried about ......"

"I don't care if Xue Huijin snatches Yu Ming, let alone Xue Peiqi and Yi'an? I don't have any feelings for her at all, whether it's Xue Peiqi or who, I don't care what happens to her, what are you thinking in your head? ”

"In terms of seniority, Sister Yu Ming is your aunt now! Don't think about anything else! ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

Wait! In addition to her and Xinyan, the only person who knows about this is Yi'an, could it be that Yi'an confessed to him herself? In this way, Yi'an should have completely let go of Xue Chunyue......

"Do you still have private contact?"

"Me and Yi'an? Not...... Not really, only this time. She sent someone to return a hairpin that her father had given her, and wrote me a few lines of letters by the way, telling me the matter as it was, and asking you and me not to tell Pei Qi about it...... That hairpin was a gift from my father when I took her back to Haizhou in the first month of last year. When I went back to Haizhou, my father secretly informed me to go back, and I was worried that Yi'an would make a big fuss when she found out that I was not in Xiangzhou, so I took her back with me. ”

"Why did Father want to see you in secret......

Although Haizhou Xue Mansion was covered by Xue Huijian, the father saw that his son was righteous, so what did he dare not declare to the public?

"The map of the copper mine in Xingdong Province and the secret house on the outskirts of Luo'an City were all privately handed over to me by him."

"Father?! How did he know about the copper mines in Xingdongdao? ”

Xue Chunyue's eyes suddenly became a little gray, as if he couldn't bear to mention the old things, "When I went back this time, I realized that my father hurt the most was the three sisters and brothers of our mother's compatriots. From the day we were born, he has been planning for our future, and he has not stopped for decades. This copper mine was learned by him by sending someone to investigate, and then quietly bought this mountain land and gave it to his eldest sister and brother-in-law. ”

The Li family has been operating copper mines for generations, and if Li Jingfeng has this mine, a comeback is just around the corner.

"Your Majesty's intention to recover the mining and operation rights of the copper mine has long been a secret that is not a secret in the DPRK and China, but it is just subject to the Lu family's refusal to act rashly. If the imperial court has enough copper ore resources, it will naturally no longer be afraid of the Lu family. This mine is a powerful backer to bring down the Lu family and King Xu. ”

After hearing this, Ye Qinyu suddenly remembered the letterhead in the study, and asked, "Father and mother are actually not as estranged as outsiders seem, at least at the beginning of marriage, they were also concubines. I found a letter from my mother to my father in that house in Loanβ€”"

"You found the letter from the study? That house was purchased by my father and mother when they came to Luo'an to play shortly after they got married. They loved the tranquility of a paradise, where they spent some quality time together, and made an appointment to grow old together decades later...... It's just that later, because of some things, my father and mother were estranged, and that house became an unknown secret place for the Xue family. ”

"Although it is unknown, I don't think the house is deserted, and my father must send someone to clean and maintain it regularly. Moreover, the book on the letterhead was not dusty at all, and someone must have read it from time to time. That person, it's a father, right? When you go back to Haizhou, your father must have told you a lot of things, tell me quickly! ”

Looking at Ye Qinyu's curious and serious appearance, Xue Chunyue smiled a little narrowly, "How did you become so good?" It's not like your style. ”

"It's okay to forget about other people's affairs, but I want to know about my mother's affairs."

Chunyue once said that she was the last gift her mother gave him, and she wanted to know what kind of person her mother was that would choose her so firmly.

"My father said that my mother was the person he loved the most and owed the most in his life......"

Xue Chunyue hugged Ye Qinyu in his arms tightly, and those decades ago came from his mouth......

More than 30 years ago, Xue Yin was young and promising, showing his skills in the household department, and won the trust of the first emperor. Several children of the Xue family, like many outstanding royal relatives and heirs, were specially selected by the emperor to accompany the prince and enrolled in the Hanlin Academy together.

Among these proud sons of the Hanlin Academy, King Yue, King Xiang, King Jing, Xue Chenggui and Xue Chengming played the best.

On a summer afternoon, King Jing, the oldest and most courageous, proposed to skip class, avoid the courtiers, sneak out of the Hanlin Courtyard, and disguise himself to play in Changxing West City, where it is said that not only the world's treasures are gathered, but also strange people and strange things from all over the world, which cannot be seen for three days and three nights.

Several people were touched by King Jing's prodding, and soon they reached a consensus, and slipped out of the Hanlin Courtyard over the wall while the courtiers were dozing.

It's just that Changxing West City is far bigger than these children imagined, and they usually have almost no contact with the outside world, so it is not surprising that they are lost.

King Xiang was smart, and vaguely remembered that the people in the Hanlin Academy had said that the master who taught them, the mansion of the Hanlin Academy's attendant Chen Ji, was near the West Market. The attendants of the Hanlin Academy talked about the mansion and asked people to know.

The officials of the Chen Mansion often go to the Hanlin Academy to do business, and they have seen several princes, and when they heard the report from the porter, they were immediately frightened, and hurriedly sent someone to the Hanlin Academy to inform the master.

When Chen Ji rushed back, he saw several children sitting in the hall at a loss, and the people in the house knelt on the ground......

That is, this time, King Xiang and Xue Chenggui met Chen Ji's youngest daughter for the first time, whose maiden name was Chen Yixin.

Since then, Chen's mansion has become a place often visited by King Xiang and Xue Chenggui.

More than ten years have passed, Xue Chenggui petitioned his father, and he and Chen Yi, the youngest daughter of the Chen family, were in love, hoping that his father would propose to the Chen family and marry the Chen family. There is also King Xiang who intends to propose marriage to the Chen family, but the prince's family affairs are all determined by the Son of Heaven, and he can't pay attention to it himself.

At that time, the first emperor had already drawn up family affairs for the princes, and King Xiang suddenly petitioned to marry the youngest daughter of the Chen family, and the first emperor was a little embarrassed. After all, the in-laws who told King Xiang that they were good were the Zheng family of Xingyang, a family of gate valves, and it was not easy to push back.

But King Xiang is his beloved son, and the Chen family is also a Confucian master, if it is really Lang's concubine, he is willing to fulfill it, so the first emperor Zhao Chen Ji went to the imperial study and inquired about the matter in detail.

After asking, I learned that it was not only King Xiang who came to see Chen Yixin, but also Xue Chenggui, the son of Xue Yin, and the dowry of the Xue family had arrived in the Chen Mansion. I heard that Xue Chenggui was a resolute, resolute, chic and dignified young man, and it was not easy to make the woman who was favored by the dragon and phoenix among the two people, so he summoned Chen Yixin.

At a glance, I realized that Chen Yixin was elegant and generous, tactful and graceful, and also smart and smart, and chic, and he was also a dragon and phoenix among people.

The first emperor cherished his talents, and he couldn't bear to be forced to be a matchmaker with the majesty of the heavenly family, so he personally asked Chen Yixin where he belonged in his heart, and promised that he would never be strong.

She chose Xue Chenggui.

Since then, King Xiang has withdrawn gloomily and married the Zheng family of Xingyang.

At this point in the story, Ye Qinyu's eyes were already damp, but she was also puzzled, Chen Yixin was not afraid of the majesty of the heavenly family, and directly stated that she belonged to her heart, which shows that she is sincere to Xue Chenggui, why did the two become a pair of resentful couples in the end?

People in the world are always reluctant to get what they can't get.

After King Xiang and the Zheng family got married, they still couldn't forget Chen Yixin, and they borrowed wine to make trouble at the family banquet of the ministers several times, which once made Xue Chenggui very embarrassed.

Xue Chenggui and Chen Yi couldn't bear to see their love affair with King Xiang for more than ten years damaged, so they took refuge in Luo'an and spent a beautiful wedding time. Xue Chenggui also had the idea of retiring, wanting to give up Changxing fame and fortune, and return to Haizhou with his wife, and since then he has not asked about the world and lived freely.

Two years later, the eldest daughter Xue Yuya was born, and Xue Chenggui finally realized the burden on his shoulders. Since he decided to give up Changxing's fame and fortune, he must make arrangements as soon as possible and take advantage of the east wind of the imperial court to return to Haizhou to establish his own career.

Yu Aya had just turned one year old, and Xue Chenggui said goodbye to his wife and daughter and went to Haizhou.

Soon, the news of King Xiang's tryst with Chen Yixin spread far and wide.

Shangyuan Festival, Changxing Temple Fair, and even the Spring Festival in the Royal Garden, there are two people...... Some people even said that on the night of the Changxing temple fair, the two put lanterns outside the moat and got along until Hai.

At that time, the city gate had already been closed, and it was still the door that King Xiang revealed his identity and asked the city gate guards to open.

For every rumor, there are many witnesses. When he returned to the city alone, there were dozens of soldiers stationed at the city gate to witness it.

After Xue Chenggui returned from Haizhou, the two broke out in their first conflict after marriage.

How did Ren Chen Yixin explain that she and King Xiang only met by chance, Xue Chenggui still had doubts in his heart, once was a coincidence, and twice or three times?

Xue Chenggui's complete outburst was at a banquet with the prince of the capital, a drunken prince of the prince played up the temple fair that night King Xiang and Chen Yixin had a tryst outside the city, and said that the city gate guard at that time was his brother, and he saw the two return in the same car in the middle of the night.

Xue Chenggui beat the prince on the spot, and without saying a word, he left Changxing again and returned to Haizhou.

didn't want to leave home this time, it became Xue Chenggui's lifelong regret.
