Chapter 101: Finding the Messenger
Just after breakfast on the second day, Yang Xianrong asked Zhang to go back and invite Sima Xuanhua to come over, and when Sima Xuanhua came over, she asked him to run to the guard camp again.
"Niangniang has an idea?" Sima Xuanhua asked as soon as he entered the door.
"Now that a dead horse is a live horse doctor, I really have no choice, so let's gamble once." She sighed and said, "I asked Zhang to go back and invite Yan Sheng over." ”
"Yan Sheng?" Sima Xuanhua was stunned, but if he thought about it carefully, apart from this person, there was indeed no one who could be trusted.
Zhang Hui asked Yan Sheng to come over, it will take some time to come back and forth, Yang Xianrong was talking to Sima Xuanhua, that Sima Qin suddenly walked in, he looked at Sima Xuanhua who was not very familiar with him with a little timidity, and said hello to Yang Xianrong again, and fell into her arms.
"This is the third sister." Yang Xianrong introduced Sima Xuanhua to Sima Qin.
Then Sima Tan stood up, straightened his clothes, saluted Sima Xuanhua, and called out sweetly: "Hello third sister." ”
"Hurry up." Sima Xuanhua hurriedly pulled Sima Qin up and said, "You are the prince of the East Palace, you can't bow to me according to the courtesy." ”
"But it's at home." Sima Qin said: "When you act according to family etiquette, you are an older sister, and you will receive the gift of your younger brother." ”
Sima Xuanhua immediately understood why Yang Xianrong liked this child so much, and even did not hesitate to keep his position as the prince for the sake of offending the king of Chengdu, this is really a smart and well-behaved child, compared to those treacherous and cunning vassal kings, this child is really like a green lotus in a pool of sewage, clean and dazzling.
Sima Xuanhua has no younger brother, and her only sister died early, and Nian'er is too young to be sensible, but this younger brother makes her feel like an older sister, she grabbed Sima Qin and asked with concern: "What books are you reading now?" ”
"Spring and autumn." Sima Qin said.
Sima Xuanhua was a little surprised, this Sima Qin was only eight years old, and he had already started to read the Spring and Autumn Period, she looked at Sima Qin with appreciation, and said, "Do you like to study?" ”
Sima Qin immediately nodded and said, "I like it, Uncle Huang is different from King Qi, when King Qi is the prince, he will always punish me, I am afraid of him so I study." But the king of Changsha always taught me earnestly, telling me that I take the world as my own responsibility, I am the crown prince, and only by reading more can I understand the truth of governing the country, and only then can I govern the country well. ”
Sima Xuanhua smiled and touched Sima Tan's head. Yang Xianrong also looked at Sima Qin with satisfaction, handed him two pieces of snacks, and asked him to play with Nian'er.
"A good boy indeed." Sima Xuanhua said sincerely: "If I can really help him ascend to the throne of God in the future, I am willing to make me work so hard now." ”
This Sima Xuanhua is a lover, but when he saw this child, he fell in love with him, since he liked this child, he would not think too much about it, but decided to help him. Since this is the case, Yang Xianrong said that she wanted to gamble, so she decided to gamble, even if it was just for the Jin Dynasty to have a good emperor in the future, it was worth it.
Soon, Zhang Hui took Yan Sheng to the Xianyang Palace, since Sima became an assistant, he replaced the people in the palace with his own people, and the management of the harem was not as strict as before, the reason was because Yang Xianrong and he were on the same side, and he created a relaxed environment for Yang Xianrong, which also helped himself.
Yan Sheng knelt down to greet the queen and the third princess, but Yang Xianrong was in no hurry to let him stand up, although they have cooperated for many years, but she is today
It was the first time I had met this person. This person is not tall and slightly fat, but he is neither humble nor arrogant when he sees her.
"Hold your head up." Yang Xianrong said.
Yan Sheng raised his head when he heard this, this person's appearance was no different from what Yang Xianrong thought, with wheat-colored skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked loyal and honest. In an instant, Yang Xianrong felt that he was going to win this bet.
Yan Sheng also saw Yang Xianrong for the first time, when he was in the Yamen army with Liu Yao, he knew this person, but he never had the opportunity to meet, first, the army was strictly controlled, even if she followed Liu Yao to the camp a few times, she never really entered the camp. Second, Liu Yao was very protective of Yang Xianrong, he knew that the people in the barracks were vulgar, and he was afraid that their words would offend her, so he never formally introduced her to those brothers. However, Liu Yao has never hidden her liking for the sheep, saying that she is beautiful, lively and cute, and now when she sees it, although she can't see her lively temperament, this beautiful appearance is indeed true.
"Yan Sheng," Yang Xianrong said straightforwardly: "You have been doing things for me for many years, and I have never summoned you into the palace to see you, in addition to the rules of the palace in the palace, it is also because there is no need, so I called you in today, you should also know that I have something to ask for." ”
"Niangniang, please speak," Yan Sheng immediately kowtowed and said: "It is an honor to be able to run an errand for the queen's mother, but if the mother orders it, don't dare to disobey it." ”
Yang Xianrong was not moved by the loyalty that Yan Sheng blurted out, she said calmly: "Don't agree so quickly, it's a matter of your life, I hope you can think clearly before making a decision." ”
Yan Sheng did calm down, but after a while, he smiled helplessly, a little more sincere, and said: "Niangniang doesn't know, the humble position was able to promise the young master Yang to do things for the mother, in addition to the friendship in the Yamen Army back then, but also because my old mother was seriously ill, a year ago, my mother died, I have nothing to worry about, I don't need to earn more money, but I still continue to help the young master Yang deliver letters, just because I feel that the young master Yang is also a person who can be handed." In addition, to tell the truth, the lowly job wants to mix in this guard camp, with no background and no background, this position will be replaced sooner or later, but who can the lowly go to? In a few years, how many stubble people have changed in the palace? But the humble job can be safe and sound, I think, this has something to do with Niangniang, even if I am for my own selfish interests, even if I am in order to repay the peach, I am helping Niangniang's help, I really don't worry about the life of the family that Niangniang said, even if I am arrested, there is no family to be connected, so it really doesn't matter. ”
Yang Xianrong and Sima Xuanhua glanced at each other, and she nodded. Sima Xuanhua took out a note and a letter from his arms and asked Su Chen to hand them to Yan Sheng. She said: "The address on this is a place called Xingyi Fang, hand over the letter to the proprietress of Xingyi Fang, Nan Xingyi, and then connect with her, and you will directly deliver the correspondence between the palace and Xingyi Fang." ”
Yan Sheng looked at the letter, looked at Yang Xianrong and Sima Xuanhua in confusion, and said suspiciously: "Okay, Xingyifang?" ”
"How?" Yang Xianrong smiled and asked, "Have you patronized her family's business?" ”
Yan Sheng scratched his head embarrassedly, and said: "Even, occasionally, twice, the girl in her family is the top in Luoyang City, and the price is not something that people like us can afford, that is, some are not popular, I can barely save some money, I can ...... it."
"Come to think of it, after your mother died, you handed over all the money we gave us to Xingyifang?" Sima Xuanhua also laughed.
Yan Sheng hurriedly waved his hand and denied: "No, no, I've really only been there twice." ”
"That's it." Yang Xianrong saw that Yan Sheng was becoming more and more embarrassed, and he no longer teased him, but said: "Since the silver is for you, you can use it however you want, but the matter we explained this time is very important, you must keep it secret and handle this matter properly, and the reward will not be less for you in the future." ”
"Xie Niangniang." Yan Sheng kowtowed deeply, got up and kowtowed to Sima Xuanhua again, and then said, "Your Royal Highness Princess Xie." ”
Su Chen sent Yan Sheng away, but when he turned around, he found Sima Tan hiding by the door, Su Chen's heart flickered, pulled him over, and asked, "What is Your Highness doing here?" ”
"Nian'er is looking for Niangniang." Sima Qin said with some fear.
Su Chen nodded, walked back to the hall with Sima Tan, and said to Yang Xianrong: "Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been waiting for you outside the door for a while." ”
Yang Xianrong was stunned for a moment, looked at Sima Tan's uneasy expression, and guessed that their conversation should have been all listened to by him, she immediately pulled Sima Qin over and asked, "Did you hear everything?" ”
Sima Qin nodded honestly, he was indeed hiding outside the door as soon as Yan Sheng entered the door.
Yang Xianrong simply gave up asking and said directly: "If you have any doubts, what do you want to ask, just ask." ”
"Niangniang," Sima Tan was still a little scared, he whispered: "I didn't mean to eavesdrop, don't be angry, it's Nian'er who wants to find Niangniang, and I'll look for you for her." I ......"
"I don't blame you," Yang Xianrong said comfortingly: "I know that you are a big child now, and I have heard more or less about the things in the court, and I have experienced some of them, so I don't plan to hide anything from you, if you want to ask something, just ask." ”
Yang Xianrong's attitude made Sima Qin relax a lot, he did have a lot of questions, he heard that the person just now was from the guard camp, and he also heard that the third princess seemed to ask him to bring something dangerous to the outside of the palace, and if this matter was discovered, he would lose his life.
"You've heard it all." Yang Xianrong smiled helplessly: "It's time for our Xianyang Hall to set up rules, the masters are talking inside, and there is not even a person guarding outside." ”
Hearing this, Sima Qin immediately panicked and hurriedly asked, "Niangniang is still angry?" ”
Facing an eight-year-old child, Yang Xianrong knew that if she explained what happened to him, he might not be able to understand, let alone understand, so she just hugged Sima Qin in her arms and asked, "Do you believe me?" ”
Sima Tan nodded heavily and replied affirmatively: "Letter."
"Then I say, everything I do is to ensure the stability of the Jin Dynasty, and also to ensure that you can ascend to the throne in the future, do you believe it?" Yang Xianrong asked again.
Sima Qin looked at Yang Xianrong seriously, he frowned, thought about it, nodded heavily, and said firmly: "I believe." ”
"Good boy." Yang Xianrong touched Sima Tan's head with a smile, stood up, and said, "That's enough, let's go, let's go find Nian'er." ”
"Is the third sister going too?" Sima Qin looked at Sima Xuanhua.
"Go." Sima Xuanhua also said with a smile.
The three of them walked outside the house, and suddenly, Sima Qin asked again: "Niangniang, third sister, what is the place you just said?" ”
After a while, Yang Xianrong poked Sima Tan's head with a finger, deliberately straightened his face, and said, "You'll know when you grow up." ”
