Chapter 518: I Don't Want Qingyun to Have Peace of Mind (Part II)
Although the news of Zhang You's victory made the Zhang family breathe a sigh of relief, they heard that the former commander-in-chief Li Bin, the Marquis of Fengcheng, had passed away, and everyone was inevitably a little worried. In order to prevent irritating the elderly Gu clan and the Dongfang clan, who had just been hit hard, Du Juan did not allow everyone to mention the news of Li Bin's death, but he and Lingxi made some preparations first according to the previous practice of holding funerals in the noble family. At the same time, in order to prepare for the exchange of people in the first month, Layue had to do all kinds of New Year's goods, so I saw that the silver money on the account was decreasing like flowing water.
After taking care of everything that evening, I went to visit Gu in the upper room of the North Courtyard, and after having dinner with him, Du Juan and Lingxi returned to the room. As soon as she sat down, the nurse came up with Jingguan in her arms, she hurriedly reached out to take it, held it in her arms and looked left and right, and couldn't help but feel a little gloomy in her heart. Originally, she was the youngest daughter-in-law at home, and as long as she took care of her own yard all day long, she could spend the rest of the time on her son, but now she is so busy that it is difficult to even breastfeed her son, so she can only be handed over to the nurse to take it. It was only through that busy time that she could not let herself think about her father who was still in prison and her husband who was far away in Xuanfu.
Xu is because of Zhang Yue's nickname, unlike other babies who often cry, Jingguan has been very quiet since he was born, unless he is teased hard, he never cries or makes trouble, most of the time he eats, sleeps, sleeps, eats, sleeps, eats. Lying in swaddling clothes at this time, the little guy was rarely awake, his dark eyes turned around for a while, and finally met Du Juan's gaze.
"Looking for your daddy? Rest assured, he'll be back soon! ”
Du Juan blinked and smiled, lowered his head and kissed the little guy's pink face, and an indescribable warmth surged in his heart. She is not alone in Jingshi, she has a mother, a son, and a helper...... I have survived such a difficult time before, and now there is nothing to be afraid of. Even if it was a deep trench, as long as you were willing to fill in the earth with all your might, what could you not do?
"Young grandma, young grandma!"
With a shout, someone slammed open the curtain and came in, but it was Autumn Scar. Seeing Du Juan holding Jingguan in her arms, she couldn't help but glance at it enviously, followed by a quick curtsy salute, and then said with a smile: "Didn't the young grandmother send the slave maid to the in-laws' wife to deliver things?" Coincidentally, the little five girls have just returned. If it's late today, and it's a carriage ride along the way, so the in-laws' wife will rest for her first, and then send someone over tomorrow. The little fifth girl also instructed that the young master's illness had already been cured, so that the young grandmother didn't have to worry about it. ”
"Who cares about him, if this girl hadn't been tossed alive and dead, no one would have been able to stop her, how could he have worked to take her on the road!" Du Juan sighed angrily, but he was relieved in his heart, and then asked with a smile, "It's rare to let her out of the door, she actually ran back so quickly, it's really unexpected." By the way, Lord Wan has turned around together? ”
"Master Wan naturally came back with the little five girls." Qiu Zhen thought of the situation at the Du family today, and couldn't help but smile, "Because it's late now, the wife of the in-laws is very grateful to Master Wan, so she kept him for dinner, and Lord Wan agreed without much excuse." I looked at the appearance of Lord Wan, as if I had a heart for the little five girls! ”
Lingxi accompanied Du Juan to come in and went to the room to urge tea, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard the last sentence of Qiu Zhen, and couldn't help but laugh and said: "But when you saw such a play, you made it up." It is said that the temperament of the little fifth girl is the most likable, and even the old lady often says that none of the girls in the family can be as comfortable and cool as her, no wonder the in-laws also love her. If it is really Wan Daren's intention, it is also a good story, why didn't the young grandmother ask the meaning of the little five girls? ”
"If I ask, I'm afraid it won't be good once the girl is twisted, so let it be."
Because Xiao Wu is no longer talking about not marrying, Du Juan can't help but feel that there is some hope for this marriage, but thinking about her unpredictable father, she can't help but think of her marriage with Zhang Yue at the beginning. The gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, and he often goes to the Du family at this time of the Wanshi Festival, which is not only a heart, but also a determination. Mother is not confused, and it will never be that she has not found any clues. If my father is here here, I'm afraid he will also be relieved to be old with his beard, right?
Thinking about it, Du Juan laughed, and the heavy thoughts at the beginning were much lighter. At this time, the Jing Guan in her arms didn't know what was going on, and suddenly grinned and cried, she was about to relieve her arms in a hurry, but she remembered the warning of her sister-in-law Li Yun, saying that she couldn't take a bite out of breastfeeding, so she had to return the child to the nurse ruthlessly, and she told a few words.
So, when the nurse took Jingguan into the West House, she took Lingxi to the East House and wrote down the accounts that had been passed during the day, but it was the extra filial piety of the Zhuangzi stewards everywhere, and she never entered the public account. Although she didn't care about the money, she was confused when she had blessed it, so she had to take it while taking it and writing it down, preparing to talk when she handed it over in the future.
Unconsciously, the sound of the second watch has been knocked. As soon as Du Juan put down his pen, a daughter-in-law's voice came from outside the door: "Young grandma, the old man outside has just come back, saying that there is something important and let you go over." ”
Since the Sun family and others are still on the road, there is a difference between Weng and daughter-in-law, after Zhang Zhuo came back, Du Juan mostly saw him in the Gu family's big upper room, and this morning and dusk province was also together with the old lady. At this moment she felt very strange in her heart, but she still stood up and put a cloak on her clothes. Lingxi had been busy all day, and Qiu Zhen had just come back from outside, so she ordered the two of them to rest early, lit amber and accompanied her, and the girl's daughter-in-law, who had just come to report the news, lit a lantern to lead the way.
The two courtyards were originally separated by a few steps, but they were there in a short time. When he entered the house, Du Juan saw Zhang Juan pacing with his hands behind his back, and there were only two childish little girls standing in the room, who hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"You all go down first, Amber is guarding the door." Zhang Zuo usually keeps the girl in the house whenever he meets his daughter-in-law, but at this time, he opened his mouth and sent everyone out. Standing silently for a while, he spoke: "Today, the emperor sent Elder Yang Ge to Beizhen Fusi Prison to see your father, and he asked about the impeachment of the first imperial history. After the incident, the emperor suddenly issued an order to Jinyiwei to bring your father and Xia Yuanji out of Beizhen Fusi, and now they are locked up in the official prison. I came back from visiting the guest and deliberately detoured to Du's house, I wanted to meet your mother and say something, but I happened to meet Jinyiwei to pick it up. ”
Du Juan naturally didn't know that this Zhang Ju was talking nonsense with his eyes open, and he didn't know that he had specially rushed over with Zhao Hu's letter. After a moment of panic, she pressed her chest and forced herself to wake up. Thinking that Xiao Wu had just come back from Xuanfu, and her mother was still eating on the Wanshi Festival, it was originally a time of joy, so she couldn't help pinching her palms with her nails.
Seeing that Du Juan's face was not good, Zhang Ju hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "Jin Yiwei is still picking it up now, I originally wanted to wait for the end of the matter to pick up your mother's family to find another place to live, and Wan Shijie also proposed to take them over to live temporarily, but your mother said that the main thing is not that the registration has not been sealed, and she, the head of the house, cannot leave without permission, and it is enough for the family to squeeze at night, so she drove me back, and told me not to tell you." I couldn't resist her, so I had to leave a few people there to take care of her. Although I have your mother's instructions, I still have to tell you after thinking about it. So, early tomorrow morning, I'll send someone to take you by car. ”
Although he couldn't wait to fly back to Du's house right now, with his mother's instructions in front and Zhang Zhuo's promise in the back, Du Juan, who was dead in his heart, had no choice but to nod stiffly. It wasn't until she turned back to her yard in a daze, that the moment she opened the curtain and entered the door, she thought of where this gratuitous copying came from.
If she wasn't mistaken, I'm afraid it was to pick up whether her father had any private messages with Zhou Wang Zhu Hu. For those who have painstakingly figured out this matter, if they find the letter, I am afraid that every word will be broken and considered, and the black can be said to be white; If not, they will say that the correspondence has been destroyed, and that the white can be said to be black.
These days, it is more difficult to seek peace of mind than to seek Qingyun!
Early the next morning, when Du Juan rushed to Du's house by car, Zhu Di, who had not been in court for many days, was in the Qianqing Palace to check the harvest of the Jinyi Guard. casually scanned the letters, remembering Yang Shiqi's report yesterday, the conversation between Yang Shiqi and Du Zhen played by the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town, and the Duyu Shi Liu Guan, who came to see the conclusive accusation that Jinyi Wei must have found nothing, he only felt upset, and then raised his head and asked Yuan Fang: "How much property does the Du family have now?" ”
"Back to the emperor, there is a four-entry mansion given by the emperor, the title deed of four hundred acres of land in Tongzhou, dozens of sections of palace silk, gold and silver coins and a number of gold and silver bills given by the emperor......" Yuan Fang's memory has always been very good, and after saying it all at this time, he added another sentence, "Although it is just a copy and not a book, but for the sake of safety, the minister has already recorded the Du family's property in the book." ”
It seems that whenever there is a big case, the Jinyi guard must be used, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is uncomfortable.
Zhu Di looked through the account book presented by Yuan Fang, and had such an idea in his heart. Impatient, he casually dropped the account book, stood up and walked two steps, suddenly turned around and walked in front of Yuan, and said thoughtfully: "You just mentioned that when you went to Du's house last night to pick it up, Wan Shijie, the head of the Arsenal Division of the Ministry of War, was also there?" ”
Seeing Yuan Fang nodding, Zhu Di couldn't help frowning. At this moment, a eunuch's sharp voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, King Chitose of Zhou and King Chitose of Han have a piece of music to send." ”
The two pieces are identical, but they have completely different contents. After reading the recital of Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, begging to return the three guards and leave Beijing after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year, Zhu Di smiled and threw it aside. However, after sweeping the piece sent by the Han King Zhu Gaoxu again after two days, he threw the piece to the ground in a fit of rage.
Zhu Gaoxu, who is a father, actually sent his son Zhu Zhanqi to report on the affairs of China and the DPRK, and even attached the original clip!
"They just can't see me at ease, animals, they're all animals!"
