Chapter 14: Imperial Yongfu
When I returned to my small courtyard, it was dinner time.
Like a cheerful deer, Anqi was busy as soon as she got home, and in a short time, she was already serving a steaming meal.
Looking at the young master who had been sitting at the table and meditating after returning home, An Ling was relieved.
"Young Master, you...... Don't drink anymore, do you? β
She asked, hesitantly and tentatively.
Xie Xiuqi, who was stunned, was startled, but he woke up from his contemplation: "Oh, the meal is ready?" I don't drink anymore, I still have something to think about......"
He muttered.
Hearing this, An Qian was suddenly a little surprised: "But the young master...... What are you thinking? But what's wrong? How come you all the way back, there is always a little bit of a delirium - since you have planned to find out the evidence, and you assert that the arson case must be tampered with, then everything is just waiting for you to find the evidence, and you can keep the clouds open and see the moon......"
She looked at Xie Xiuqi inquiringly and asked cautiously.
Xie Xiuqi smiled bitterly, he thought about it, but he looked at An Qian: "An Qian, in fact, I found the evidence to you and then used it to coerce Tang County to change course...... It's incomplete, or rather, it's just the first step in rescuing my sister from the catastrophe. β
"The reason why I don't want to tell you everything is because I am afraid that you will be worried, and it is not time and unnecessary - if you don't do well in the first step, there is no need to talk about it later."
He explained softly.
An Xuan's mind was suddenly full of mush.
"What does the young master mean by this...... the little girl muttered.
Xie Xiuqi groaned slightly: "Tang County's conspiracy, as long as he finds out the evidence of the conspiracy in his previous arson case, he can go-for-tat and solve it easily." However, there is always a doubt in my heart - the matter has come to this point, but it is just like San'er's matter has been completed or even worse, so even if we settle the Tang County Order, will the Fang family happily agree to dissolve the marriage contract? β
As he spoke, his face was already darkened: "If the Fang family is only a pawn of Tang County Ling, I am afraid that they also have their own motives, but they are not controlled by Tang County Ling Ruyi." If that's the case, just settling the Tang County Order, I'm afraid it may not be able to save my sister before falling off the cliff. β
"And what Erhu Fang just said that my sister seems to have guessed that the Fang family also has a hidden secret, but now that I think about it, it is also corroborated by my guess, and it reminds me again."
He muttered softly.
An Qian was startled when she heard this, and gradually became thoughtful, and her face changed slightly.
"yes...... The peace covenant has been made, the marriage contract has been made, and the marriage is only ten days later. Even if Tang Xianzun changes his ways, the Fang family's meat that has reached his mouth may not be willing to spit it out......"
She ate and muttered, and the joy on her face had faded away.
Xie Xiuqi's face was also a little cold: "Yes, that's why I said that settling the Tang County Order may only be the first step." β
"If God has mercy, there is really something strange in the arson case, and I found out the evidence, and I have successfully coerced the Tang County Order with it-then we still have to pass the Fang family's level! And this level is because I wear it...... Wake up too late, and it's getting harder and harder with the passage of time. β
"If the Fang family is unwilling, I have to consider whether I can find a way to counter the Fang family like Fang Cai's three sons - only this time, I'm afraid I can't simply use the three obedience and four virtues to fight back against my parents' orders...... This was agreed by Uncle Lu and his sister, and they had already made a peace agreement. If there is no major reason, the two tigers and the small people will not dare to break their promises, how can Uncle Lu and his sister ......"
He didn't continue, but there was a secret worry between his eyebrows.
An Qian also frowned at the same time.
After a long time, she looked at Xie Xiuqi with great anticipation, but there was a sense of hope in her eyes: "But young master, you will definitely have a way, right?" β
She asked stupidly.
"That's nature." Xie Xiuqi suddenly nodded proudly.
Then, he also frowned: "It's just that I haven't thought of any good ways yet, and the more I think about it, the more difficult it becomes...... I hope that after the Tang County Order is resolved, it will not be returned to the Fang family......"
He muttered muttering.
I don't know if I really only received some important memories of my predecessor, but I have a black eye for which dynasty and which generation this era is, and I feel more and more that this era is quite strange, and some places are not at all like the ancient ones in my impression.
There's so much to know and too little to know.
The resources at hand are even more limited: the former prodigal son is a prodigal son, and he is a garbage in the eyes of everyone, and even his own allies have to think a lot before they can be taken for their own use - and they have to find those who have not seen their own magic sword......
The situation is already critical: ten days later, my sister will marry into the Fang family, and at that time, if there is a technique to return to heaven, I am afraid it will be too late.
All in all, it's hard...... Compared with my sister's matter, Fang Cai's third son's matter is just pediatrics......
He sighed silently in his heart.
Then, Xie Xiuqi thought about it, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face again.
I saw him look at An Qian again: "On the way back, I was actually thinking about the suspicion of the sister mentioned by Erhu, and I have been faintly doubting - this matter is probably not so simple for the Fang family, but it has their own interests and basis." β
"Just for my sister's beauty, I am willing to risk offending and killing my Uncle Lu, this county Cheng? Tang County Ling can protect them for a while, and after using them, can he still protect them for a lifetime? Fang's family is a wealthy family, and he can't even think of this? β
"Could it be that they really think that after marrying their sister and repairing it in every possible way, they will be able to reconcile with Uncle Lu, who suffered this great shame because of them? This is certainly possible, but the risks and benefits, the pay and the benefits, are too disproportionate. β
He analyzed it carefully, and then, he looked at An Qian even more inquiringly: "Therefore, the reason why the Fang family was involved in the political dispute between Tang and Lu has actually puzzled me: businessmen are profit-seekers, what is their motive?" Where are the benefits? β
And more importantly, do they have any other basis besides Fang County's order? If I were to deal with them, would I be confused by their hidden reliance? β
"Just like Nayongfu, I've heard you mention this word several times, this Yongfu...... What the hell is going on? β
He was half talking to himself, half asking An Qidao.
"That's right! If they have any other basis, it must be Yongfu......" An Qian was suddenly startled, as if she had thought of something.
"What is Yongfu? What the hell is this? Xie Xiuqi frowned, and he asked in a deep voice.
An Qi's expression suddenly became strange: "Young Master, have you even forgotten about Yongfu?" β
She ate and asked, and when she saw Xie Xiuqi's face full of confusion, she hurriedly explained: "King Yong's outer mansion...... Supervise the world, punish the traitors and eliminate the evil, and be the master of the people, the outer mansion of King Yong, who hangs the sword in the water blue......"
Xie Xiuqi said dumbfounded: "Supervise the world, punish the evil and eliminate the evil, and be the master of the people...... What is the water...... Hanging sword? β
He suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked urgently: "By the way, Anqi, now...... What age is it? β
An Qian shook again: "Have you really forgotten this?" Three years of Jingyou...... Oh, according to the calendar promoted by Grandpa Yongzu...... That's the ...... A.D. Well, 1633. β
A.d? Xie Xiuqi was shocked in his heart, and he tried hard to search for the historical knowledge in his mind: "At this time, there is the Common Era?" What is Grandpa Yongzu...... 1633...... Ming dynasty? β
He hesitated and asked.
An Xuan's expression was a little ridiculous: "That's a false ...... We are the Far Song Empire, the Pseudo-Ming is in my homeland of China, we are in the Far Song Dynasty in the South Seas! β
Xie Xiuqi was suddenly stunned.
This is informative...... It's a little big, isn't it......
Far Song? Song dynasty? It's all 1633 years and there is still a Song Dynasty? In 1633, the Ming Dynasty seemed to be at the end of its life, okay? Brother or in Nanyang, what is the Far Song Empire? Is there really a Ming in the homeland? Pseudo-Ming?
What the hell did I travel to? Or was my ancient history taught by a PE teacher?
In a flash of thought, Xie Xiuqi's face was already full of frustration: "Oh...... Anqing, I did forget...... You may wish to elaborate on it for me. What was the Far Song Empire? In particular, what is the Waifu of King Yong? How did it come about? Take your time and explain them to me one by one, from beginning to end. β
He looked at An Qian inquiringly, his eyes already impatient.
An Qian shook again: "This ...... The little maid didn't read much, but she had been reading with the young lady for a few years and was just learning how to write...... I don't know how to say it......"
She pondered hard, as if she was reminiscing, as if she was organizing the language, and even more so as if she didn't know where to start.
After a pause, An Qian was already muttering intermittently, "Yongfu...... Oh, Yongfu was set up by the ancestor and His Royal Highness the ancestor when the empire was founded, and it was dedicated to escorting the empire...... It's all the big man of the blue sky...... Yongfu is very powerful, it is said that the emperor's majesty decades ago did nonsense, all of which were abolished by Yongfu...... And also...... And ......"
Xie Xiuqi rolled his eyes, he was already smiling bitterly.
An Qian gradually stopped talking, and the little girl looked at her young master embarrassedly, but her eyes suddenly lit up: "That's right, study!" β
Xie Xiuqi was also eye-catching.
I still remember that after his predecessor moved out of the Lu Mansion, Uncle Lu couldn't rest assured, and sometimes persuaded his predecessor to learn, but he set up a study for him. Over the years, the study has been stuffed by Uncle Lu, but he has rarely been to his predecessor, and occasionally set foot in it, but he is also looking for some romance novels that most of the study can't find to kill time.
However...... Now, isn't the study a weapon that he has a full understanding of everything he wants to knowβthe books there can be said to have been gradually added by Uncle Lu to his all-encompassing list!
"That's right, our family An Qian is really smart!"
Xie Xiuqi clasped his palms excitedly, but it was the final word, and by the way, he didn't expect the little girl who gave a good idea to give a little lip service but not a reward, which suddenly made the little girl so happy that she couldn't see her eyebrows.
When Xie Xiuqi couldn't wait to rush to the study and looked at the bookshelves that were full of books in the study, his gaze instantly froze-
Regardless of the meaning of those book titles, only one article made Xie Xiuqi's heart already turbulent-the words are simplified, and the title of the book is vernacular.
But when did simplified Chinese and vernacular characters appear? It seems that at least in modern times...... No! Simplified Chinese characters seem to have only existed after the establishment of New China! Otherwise, how could Wanwan compatriots still use traditional Chinese characters?
God, which dynasty have I traveled to?
Xie Xiuqi thought in horror in his heart.
And by the time he turned his attention to the titles again, he was completely blank......
