Chapter Ninety-Seven: Something Happened
Jin Yiwei didn't know Ouyang Yuanshui's plans, but he said that he was a decent climbing dragon and a phoenix, and used his own charm to coax Xu Jingyuan not to marry him, so after figuring out that this matter was approved by Emperor Yongle, he didn't pay much attention to it, and his mind was all on Kaihe.
At this time, Song Li had already set off from Dongchang Mansion, but the destination of this trip was not Jining.
Because he had to go back to Tianfu to tell Emperor Yongle in person about the planning of the entire river opening project, and obtain the approval of Emperor Yongle and the court, he could officially start construction...... As for the projects that have been done in the past year, they are all small, and they can be done without the need for a large-scale gathering of people, and the magistrates can make their own decisions.
Although it was very close to Chinese New Year's Eve, Song Li was really anxious to go back to deal with some family affairs after official duties, such as Song Jianiang's marriage, but when he passed through Jining, he still stayed for a while, and let the servants come over and call Shen Steallan to meet alone for half a day.
What the two who almost became Weng's son-in-law talked about, outsiders don't know, and Shen Steallan didn't mean to announce it after he came back, so he only told everyone below to be vigilant, and not let people with ulterior motives take advantage of the opportunity to visit relatives and friends around the New Year's Festival.
Soon after Song Li left, the people specially sent by Emperor Yongle to pick up the Xu family brothers and sisters also arrived.
This person is an internal official, looking only in his thirties, with a white and clean face, a group of harmony between his eyebrows and eyes, he loves to laugh, and he is in a good mood when he sees everyone smiling, and he opens his mouth to be a bunch of sweet words.
Xi Fuwei happened to pass by, and he was also praised by him for "fairy beauty, profound blessings" and the like, and there was no shelf of the emperor's close attendants at all.
But everyone didn't dare to snub him because of this, and they all greeted him carefully.
It is the brothers and sisters of the Xu family, who are worthy of being the young nobles that Emperor Yongle is used to, and they are very impatient with this internal official.
As an elder brother, Dingguo Gong will also find a reason to rub it off, Xu Jingyuan, who is a younger sister, was treated lukewarmly by Jinyiwei during this time, and after the internal officials arrived, all the people from Shen Steallan and below were eager to write on their faces, "Thank God I can finally send these two hot potatoes away", which made her feel very bad...... Of course, it's hard to say whether there is instigation from the people around you.
Anyway, Xu Jingyuan was very unhappy with the internal official's urging of his brother and sister to pack their bags and return to Yingtianfu immediately, and said to the internal official: "What are you urging!" On such a cold day, if you don't clean up and do it, when the road is frozen and we are lost, can you explain it to Your Majesty? ”
The internal official was not annoyed when he heard this, he still smiled and apologized, and asked her when she was leaving?
Seeing this, Xu Jingyuan only felt that he hit the cotton with a fist, which was not refreshing at all, and drank the tea with the tea bowl for a while before he said loudly: "When are you leaving?" Of course, we will wait until we have packed up the cages before leaving! But when will it be cleaned up, and it is not Miss Ben who will do it, how will Miss Ben know! ”
With that, he was sent out of the house.
Shen Steallan comforted the internal official very much after knowing it, but the internal official waved his hand indifferently, and said kindly: "The slave is just a wasted person, if it weren't for His Majesty's love, even if it was to you, it would also pollute your eyes, and it would be good to serve Miss Xu, and it should be said in a few words." ”
"Ah Jing, go and persuade your sister." Shen Steallan naturally didn't take this seriously, and privately mentioned it when Xu Jingchang came to play chess with him, "Are the people in front of Your Majesty so easy to offend?" Even if the officials are really open-minded, they can't settle such grievances. ”
Xu Jingchang said: "I persuaded her several times, but I can't help it if she doesn't listen." ”
This is actually true, their father went early, and his mother has always felt that her child is too wronged to have a father at a young age, and she is afraid that she will not be spoiled enough on weekdays, let alone punished.
There is also a Yongle Emperor who is used to it, so that the brother and sister are very unsuccessful: growing up in a powerful family, or a descendant, Xu Jingchang actually doesn't understand many things, or doesn't have the perseverance to do it right.
It's very difficult for him to take care of himself, let alone his sister.
Thinking of saying a few words, Xu Jingyuan didn't take it to heart, and Xu Jingchang didn't bother to break with her, so he let it go...... The legacy left by the left and right Zhongyu Gong is enough for them to squander.
As his brother, he has this attitude, and Shen Weilan has a bad impression of Xu Jingyuan, so he didn't say anything, but only said: "You have a title on your side, as long as you don't have any ambitions that shouldn't be raised, there is no problem in your life of glory and wealth." Your sister will be out of the cabinet sooner or later, and she has been so tempered, I'm afraid it's not a good thing. ”
When Xu Jingchang said this, he didn't take it to heart, but he didn't think about it.
Xu Jingyuan had an accident the next day.
Xi Fuwei made an appointment with Yu Kedi to visit Yu's house in the first month, and only entered the door of the Moon Cave with her front foot, but her back foot was chased by her colleagues and shouted: "My lord let you pass." ”
When she heard this, she went to the main hall, and before she entered the door, she heard Xu Jingchang's hysterical roar and Shen Weilan's sharp persuasion.
As soon as I entered, a one-foot-high pastel garlic bottle smashed over the dough.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and dodged in time.
Listening to the "clang" of the garlic bottle smashing on the ground not far behind him, you can imagine the weight of the person who smashed it.
"Ah Jing, are you crazy! Are you trying to force your sister to death if you keep making such a fuss?! The originally neat main hall was now in a mess, Shen Stealing Lan personally went into battle, held down the emotional Xu Jingchang, and persuaded one after another, "The top priority is to suppress this matter......"
"You don't use the reputation of the Dingguo Mansion to press me!!" Xu Jingchang's eyes were red, like a mad tiger, his hands were grabbed by him and pressed behind him, although the two were the same age, but he had been addicted to wine for many years, but Shen Steallan was under the strict supervision of the Shen family, and he was pressed at this time, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't shake it, but he still held his neck and roared angrily, "Don't think I don't know!" Although Jing Yuan is naughty, every time you go out, you Jinyi will follow! How could something happen?! This must have been done on purpose! ”
happened to see Xi Fuwei come in, and immediately spat at her and scolded, ", isn't it you?!" You seduced Youqing and found someone to harm Jing Yuan...... I will kill you!! ”
"Your Excellency?" Xi Fuwei was inexplicable, glanced at him in surprise, and looked at Shen Weilan inquiringly.
Shen Stealing Lan first said to Xu Jingchang: "It's your sister who refuses to ask me to follow, beating and scolding people to drive people away." This is not only the confession of my subordinates, but also several people in the city. I said a long time ago that your sister is too willful, and it is not okay to teach it, you don't listen! ”
Only then did she reply to Xi Fuwei, "Miss Xu has something happening, and she will be sent back soon." When the time comes, you go to her house and stay with her, and don't leave. ”
After a pause, "Don't let Miss Xu do stupid things." ”
Xi Fuwei still doesn't know the ins and outs, but listening to this tone, she also knows that Xu Jingyuan has suffered a big loss.
Although Ouyang Yuanshui hadn't told her about raw rice cooked rice, Xi Fuwei still subconsciously thought of this person, frowned slightly, bowed her head and said, "Yes." ”
During this period, Xu Jingchang was still abusing her, until Xi Fuwei went out, and when she walked out for a while, she could still hear all kinds of curses.
“…… It's really not you? When he couldn't hear her footsteps at all, Xu Jingchang didn't know whether he was tired or reacted, so he finally stopped panting, was stunned for a moment, and said in a dumb voice, "It's not that cheap girl?" ”
Shen Weilan slowly let go of him, moved his muscles, and said lightly: "Although I am not familiar with your sister, there have been many occasions to meet since I was a child. Even if you don't like her, you won't use such despicable means to deal with her. ”
As for Xi Fuwei, "The daughter of a squire, do you think she has this ability?" ”
"......" Xu Jingchang was silent for a while, staggered to a nearby chair and sat down, and said in a low voice, "It's not you, it's not that, then who do you say?" It can't be such a coincidence, Jing Yuan just occasionally willfully drove away the captain you sent to protect her, and she happened to be targeted by the gangsters, right? ”
"I'm on a lookout." Shen Weilan pinched his eyebrows, during this time, in order to open the river, he ran outside during the day, looked at the actual terrain everywhere, and fought at night to supplement the common sense of various mountains and rivers. lacks skills, Xu Jingyuan's accident is nothing less than worse.
At this moment, it was very difficult to suppress the fire in his heart, and then he said in a calm tone, "The preliminary suspicion is that it is Jianwen's remnants...... Ordinary villains don't have such courage. ”
"You don't have to come with me!" When Xu Jingchang heard this, he sneered, looked up at him, and said, "Jianwen Yu is ...... Although many things have been pushed on their heads in the case file over the years, there are really a few things that they have done...... I don't know if you're a cat here!? ”
"Who the hell is it? Crown Prince, or King of Han? ”
"At present, the most suspicious thing is indeed Jianwen Yuin." Shen Weilan shook his head and said, "It has never been a secret that Your Majesty treats your brothers and sisters as sons and nephews. Both the crown prince and the king of Han are the biological sons of His Majesty, and they know His Majesty's mind best. They may take advantage of your brothers and sisters, but they will never dare to do such an irreparable thing...... What's more, let me tell you the truth, although Your Majesty loves you, he doesn't give you any say in the matter of establishing a prince. So your importance has not yet reached the point where they will be unscrupulous and reckless. ”
Xu Jingchang's face was blue, he thought for a long time, and had to acquiesce in these words, and said in a hoarse voice: "Then the culprit is still on you?" Because your people follow Jing Yuan, they have attracted the attention of Jianwen Yu? Otherwise, she is a lady who doesn't go out of one door and doesn't step out of the second door, how can she know her identity outside! ”
Although Xu Jingyuan is just a girl, the identity of the daughter of the loyal princess is enough to arouse the hatred of Jianwen Yu.
"She was the one who drove me away." Shen Weilan understood his mood at the moment, but she didn't plan to throw her subordinates to calm his anger, and calmly reminded, "Otherwise, she may not suffer this loss!" ”
When the atmosphere between the two of them instantly entered the tension, Xi Fuwei was looking at Xu Jingyuan, who was quietly sent back from the back door, with a shocked expression: "What is she?!" ”
