Delivering letters for others?

Li Zhihuai and Chen glanced at each other.

Who is this other person? What is the letter sent?

After thinking for a while, Li Zhihuai looked at him and asked, "You insist on seeing my wife, but because this letter is related to her?" Or was the person who wrote the letter related to her? ”

He didn't have to think about this kind of thing, otherwise why would Lu Wu want to tell his wife in person.

Lu Wu shook his head and said I don't know.

"When the man gave it to me, he was already dying." He said, "Just ask me, this letter will be handed over to Mrs. Chen, and it will not fall into the hands of others." ”

"Who is it?" Chen asked, a little surprised, "If you must leave it to me, then he should know me." ”

He said......" Lu Wu thought for a moment and looked at her guiltily, "seven or eight years have passed, and I really can't remember it clearly, but I vaguely remember that there is a Qu character in his name." ”

"Qu?" Chen frowned, "What does he look like?" Do you remember your appearance? ”

It's been so long that she can't remember anyone with the word Qu in their name.

Lu Wu tried hard to recall, his face flushed.

"When I saw him, he was in his forties, with a beard, and I couldn't see what he looked like." He said with difficulty, looking at the black chair and flashing again, "By the way, that man looks a little dark, it seems to be natural, he said that he has been black since he was a child. ”

He was paying more attention to the man than the others, and he didn't know why the man trusted him to put things in his hands.

Chen pursed his lips and thought carefully.

"Long black ...... There's a ......," she murmured, "long black...... Qu ......"

"Isn't it...... Uncle Qu? She asked tentatively, "That's a groom from the Chen family, he is relatively dark, and his eyes are a little small?" ”

"Probably." Lu Wu touched his head embarrassedly, a little ashamed that he had forgotten something.

No wonder he was that the man inexplicably stuffed a letter into his hand, saying that he would hand it over to the second lady of the Li Mansion in Gwangju, and he should be told not to let others find out.

When he had said this, the man died, and he was startled.

Lu Wu's business had just grown at that time, and he forgot about it when he was busy, and later he went back to Gwangju once, but Mrs. Li was in Yizhou again and missed it once.

It was only to this day that he delivered the letter.

I'm still a little ashamed to think about it.

Chen glanced at Li Zhihuai, took the letter and opened it.

This letter is really a little worn, and some rough edges can be faintly seen in the corners of the edges, and when I hold it in my hand, I only feel that it has been soaked and broken by the years.

Lu Wu smiled embarrassedly.

"The letter was originally ...... It's better, but I hid it in a somewhat hollowed-out wooden pillar on the beam of the ancestral house, and it became like this......"

He said, a little shy.

Chen looked at him and said nothing.

It doesn't matter what the letter becomes, what matters is what is inside, and the handwriting on the paper is still very clear after all these years.

She carefully scanned it, it was difficult to see, line by line, it took a long time, as if what was written on it was obscure.

The more I looked at her, the more serious her expression became, her brows furrowed, and her gentle face showed a solemn expression.

Li Zhihuai also followed to read the letter, which was the same as Chen's expression.

Lu Wu looked at them in surprise, his face puzzled.

He is a real person, saying that he is sending letters to people, that is, sending letters, and he will never peek at what others write.

And this letter was only obtained from the beam of the house when he had to return to the ancestral house, and it was not on him before, so he didn't have a chance to read it.

He was glad that Peng Ao and the others had the ancestral home, but they didn't find the letter.

When he first got the letter, he was a little entangled in his heart, he wanted to read it, but he was afraid that the person who received the letter would find out after opening the letter, so he held back this thought and ignored it.

"Lord Li, Mrs. Li, since the letter has been delivered, then I will leave below."

Lu Wu bowed.

Li Zhihuai calmed down and gave him a solemn salute: "Brother Lu, thank you." ”

Chen also saluted and thanked him.

"This is a letter from my father, thanks to you, it can reach my hands and let me see it." She wiped her eyes, "Thank you." ”

The two thanked each other repeatedly, and Lu Wu was a little embarrassed by the thanks.

He smiled and waved his hand, and said boldly: "This is a trivial matter, you don't have to mind." It's time to go, Lord Li and Mrs. Li don't want to send each other off. ”

Li Zhihuai insisted on sending him out, and also prepared a gift for him to thank him for sending the letter.

"Lord Li, please stop." Lu Wu raised his hand and smiled heartily, "If you send it again, you will be really ashamed." ”

He didn't put much effort into it, and he accepted the gift and asked Lord Changshi to give it to him, which was too much to do.

Seeing this, Li Zhihuai could only order Steward Li to send him out of the house, and he entered the house.

When he returned to the hall, Chen hurriedly took Li Zhihuai's hand.

"Sir, this letter is ......," she asked, her eyes heavy and worried.

This letter was not written to her by her father, although she used the title of daughter instead, Chen knew that if her father wrote it to her, he would not deliberately erase her name.

It was written to her sister.

……

……

In the letter, Chen Ke said to his youngest daughter that she should not misunderstand His Royal Highness Chengwang.

Although His Royal Highness King Cheng had come to Chen's Mansion before and met with him, he did not know that his youngest daughter was still alive.

The letter also said that His Royal Highness King Cheng is an upright person and will never do such a thing.

As for what happened, the letter didn't say it, but it can be seen between the lines that Chen Ke is explaining for King Cheng.

"My sister wrote to me that she had seen the wrong person and that King Cheng had lied to her." Chen sighed, "Because she received the news that His Royal Highness King Cheng went to Chen's Mansion to find my father, and also talked to him about military training. ”

"She said that His Royal Highness King Cheng deliberately approached her to gain my father's support and hoard troops in the Minzhou area."

Minzhou is vast, there are many mountains and forests, and there are few adults in the place, so it is a good place to train soldiers.

"Come to think of it, that's it." Li Zhihuai said, "It seems that the mother has some misunderstanding of His Royal Highness, and his father-in-law explains it for His Highness." ”

"It's a pity that the letter didn't reach the mother, and the father-in-law's family ......," he sighed and hung his head.

Chen also looked sad.

"My sister later found out that His Royal Highness King Cheng had contact with the people who rioted in Minzhou, and later my father's family was killed by those people. At that time, she wrote to His Royal Highness King Cheng and wanted an explanation, but His Royal Highness King Cheng did not defend herself. ”

"My sister wanted to wait until His Royal Highness King Cheng returned to Beijing to ask him, but His Royal Highness King Cheng died on the road......"

Li Zhihuai pondered for a moment, his eyebrows solemn.

"There were many doubts about what happened back then, and we don't know whether His Royal Highness King Cheng did it, but my father-in-law spoke for him, which can prove that His Royal Highness did not do those things."

"It seems that someone deliberately guided the mother to make His Highness suspicious of His Highness and damage His Highness's reputation."

Moreover, these things that Niangniang found out were not made public, which means that either Niangniang has solved the matter, or that person just wants Niangniang to know. It can be seen that the people behind it have ill intentions. ”

Chen covered his mouth and his eyes widened.

"What does the master mean is that someone is stirring up the relationship between my sister and His Royal Highness King Cheng?" She exclaimed, "This is the design, so that my sister misunderstands His Highness." ”

Li Zhihuai nodded.

If this matter broke out when His Royal Highness King Cheng was still in the capital, the side concubine Niangniang would naturally be able to ask about it, but it was only after His Royal Highness King Cheng went to the west that it was cleverly found out by the side concubine Niangniang.

The person behind him took advantage of the fact that His Royal Highness King Cheng was not in Beijing, and his purpose was to make the side concubine Niangniang and His Royal Highness King Cheng turn against him, so that His Royal Highness King Cheng was attacked on his back, and no one believed him.

"Actually, I don't believe that His Royal Highness King Cheng would really do such a thing." He said, "Whether it's military training or treason, I always feel that he is not that kind of person." ”

"At that time, I expressed my attitude, Xu Yanliang didn't like me, he said that I was deceived by the hypocritical corners of His Royal Highness Chengwang's mouth, and I retorted that he listened to the wind is rain......"

The reason why Li Zhihuai offended the prefect Xu Yanliang in Suzhou was because of the matter of becoming a king, but this matter was taboo, and Xu Yanliang didn't dare to argue with him more, so he sued his superiors and casually found a reason to demote him to Yizhou.

"I ...... Alas, how could I believe it? Chen sighed and sat down, "No matter how he is, he is my brother-in-law, my sister likes him, is willing to go back to Beijing with him, and is willing to ...... with him If it weren't for my sister's death in Chengwang's mansion, I wouldn't have ...... Doubt him on this ......"

These things, one after another, are all borne by His Royal Highness King Cheng, has he ever done such a thing......
