Chapter 296: Sun Fu is under house arrest
There was such a big thing happening overnight, not to mention ordinary people, even the ladies of these big families faintly saw the fire that reflected the night like day last night.
and the noise of the crowd on the street outside sounded almost all night long, and everyone in Kyoto was in a trance for a while.
The people are also secretly talking about the recent series of events in private, and everyone is speculating whether it is a warning issued by Qing Qi that the sky is about to die.
"I didn't expect so many people to die overnight, it's really appalling." When he got up in the morning, Jiang Yuanliu recalled the red half of the sky last night, so he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, but the faint uneasiness in his heart became more and more obvious.
Let Chun Tao open the window, Jiang Yuanliu leaned his hand out of the window, feeling the sluggish temperature in the early morning, and the clammy and cold molecules contained in the air made people's skin can't help but give birth to a layer of frost.
In a day or two, it's November, and the temperature has changed significantly, and you can feel the cold in the air every day when you wake up.
And the weather has been very changeable recently, with light rain in the sky from time to time, and frost and dew at night are heavier.
But even in this case, the light of the inn's fire last night was able to illuminate half of Kyoto's night sky, and it was really unsettling to watch the monstrous fire.
"yes. Those candidates have been studying hard for ten years, and the imperial examination has not yet ended, and it is really regrettable that they lost their lives in vain.
What's more, the candidates who were burned to death this time are basically all poor students, and the relatives at home are probably counting on them to be able to shine on the lintel, who would have thought that even their lives have been lost now, if the people in this family know about this matter, they may not know how sad and sad they will be. ”
Mama Xia was communicating with Jiang Yuanliu while putting the tableware on the table for Jiang Yuanliu.
It's just that for Mama Xia, who is a mother, this pain is probably a little more real than Jiang Yuanliu.
After all, what mother would want a white-haired person to send a black-haired person? Thinking about it this way, Mama Xia couldn't help but be even more glad that although her son was a little unlucky, he was now able to live safely, which was inevitably more comforting in her heart.
"Miss, I've got breakfast." At this time, Xia Li walked into the inner room with a calm face, and then together with Dongmei, silently put the breakfast in the food box on the table one by one.
Jiang Yuanliu's eyes turned from the window to Xia Li, only to feel that this girl was not as lively and active as before, and although she was calm on her face at this time, there was a faint abnormal look hidden in her eyes.
Seeing Dongmei who came in with her again, her previously calm eyes were also dyed with a look of little worry, which had to make Jiang Yuanliu wonder, and then couldn't help asking, "What's going on with you two today?" Was it being bullied in the kitchen or was there something else unhappy? ”
Jiang Yuanliu's words made Dongmei and Xia Li stunned for a moment, and then the two immediately changed into happy looks, and saw Xia Li smile and quickly denied: "How can anyone dare to bully slaves and maids, now they are all slaves and maids to bully others." ”
It's just that the more they cover it up, the more it shows that there is a problem.
Jiang Yuanliu closed the window in the room, leaving only a small gap for ventilation, and then walked to the dining table, calmly glanced at the dishes on the table and the order of placement, and then said in a deep voice: "Xia Li, you still say it's okay?" Take a good look for yourself, there are actually two dishes of the same dish on the table, and the position of this cup of ginseng soup is almost directly in front of me? ”
Hearing this, Mama Xia immediately stepped forward to take a closer look, and really saw two identical dishes on the table, and the cup of ginseng soup was directly in front of Jiang Yuanliu, so that she couldn't see the dishes behind her at all.
Seeing that Xia Li and Dong Mei would make such a low-level mistake, Mama Xia's face immediately sank, and then she reprimanded: "What is going on with you two today? Why was it so careless? Xia Li, Miss thinks that you are cautious and careful, so you stay by your side to serve the food.
But now you can't even do this little thing in your own way, how can you serve the young lady with all your heart? How long has it been since you forgot all about the promises you made? ”
With that, Mama Xia and Chun Tao removed the two dishes on the table together, and at the same time readjusted the position of the dishes on the table, and then helped Jiang Yuanliu to sit down slowly.
Hearing Mama Xia scolding Xia Li, Dongmei stood up at this time and took the initiative to admit her mistake and said: "Miss, this is not Xia Li's problem, the breakfast is all taken by the slave maid to the kitchen, these are all because of the negligence of the slave and maid so they made such a mistake, and please punish the eldest lady." ”
After speaking, Dongmei knelt in front of Jiang Yuanliu with her head down.
Jiang Yuanliu gently patted Mama Xia's hand, signaling her not to be angry for such a trivial matter, and then reached out to pull Dongmei up, and said softly: "You have always been cautious in doing things, and you are the most stable among these girls around me, and when you follow me to do things, you have never made any mistakes."
If it weren't for the things in your mind, I don't think you would have made the same mistake as you did today. You might as well tell me that if I could help, I wouldn't let you work with your heart. ”
Hearing this, Dongmei's heart immediately swelled with gratitude, and her eyes couldn't help but raise slightly to look at Jiang Yuanliu, only to feel that the young lady in front of her was smiling, and her eyes were full of sincerity and sincerity.
It's just such a beautiful young lady, Dongmei really didn't want to tell the news she had just heard, so she shook her head insistently.
resolutely denied: "It's just that the slave didn't rest well last night, so I was dazzled and took the wrong breakfast today." There really is nothing else, please believe it. ”
Jiang Yuanliu saw that Dongmei was always reluctant to tell the truth, so he didn't force her anymore.
Then let her and Xia Li go to deliver breakfast to Qiuhua, and she was quietly eating breakfast here.
"Miss, why don't you go and inquire first?" Seeing that Jiang Yuanliu's mood at this time didn't seem to be high, Chun Tao scooped a bowl of sweet corn soup and put it in front of her, and asked in a low voice.
And Jiang Yuanliu just shook his head, now that he can't ask, Chun Tao doesn't have the ability to ask, it's better to let Ling Yue inquire about it later, maybe there will be a harvest.
In less than half an hour, Jiang Yuanliu had already guessed the reason why Dongmei and Xiali made frequent mistakes, and Zhao Yuhuai actually openly put the entire Sun Mansion under house arrest.
Such a move is really puzzling.
If Zhao Yuhuai has the intention of rebellion, but although Sun Fu is the richest man in Qingqi, he is not the first person to be pinched by Zhao Yuhuai.
After all, if you want to win by surprise, you must at least control those nobles in Kyoto first, and then these Kyoto families.
But Zhao Yuhuai crossed many nobles, and only attacked the Sun Mansion, which is really incomprehensible.
"Didn't Concubine Sun go to ask the emperor?" Now that something like this has happened, presumably Sun Guifei will definitely not be able to sit still, and Zhao Duqi has been on guard against Zhao Yuhuai's self-formed henchmen in recent days, and he must not let Zhao Yuhuai be so presumptuous.
"Back to Miss, the emperor is seriously ill now." It's just that when Ling Yue's deliberately suppressed voice came into Jiang Yuanliu's ears through the window, all the problems seemed to have something to explain.
It's just that Zhao Duqi was seriously ill at this time, which was really too coincidental, but Jiang Yuanliu couldn't help but be very curious, why did the eldest princess pay so much attention to Zhao Duqi's safety, why did there be such a mistake?
Or is it that now the power in the hands of Pei Guifei and Zhao Yuhuai has reached the point where even the eldest princess has no way to control it?
Then why didn't Zhao Yuhuai take advantage of Zhao Duqi's serious illness at this time to force the palace, but only stared at an imperial merchant Sun Mansion tightly?
According to Sun Xiaoyu's temperament, he will definitely not give in to others like this, and I don't know if he has suffered during this period.
"Is everything okay in the Sun Mansion?" It's no wonder that Xia Li Dongmei has such a gaffe, after all, Sun Xiaoyu is the former master of the two of them.
"Miss, don't worry, the eldest prince is only forbidding all the people in the Sun Mansion to enter and exit now, and he has not tortured the people in the mansion."
Ling Yue knew everything she had to say, and she also knew that Jiang Yuanliu's words might be of other use, so she tried to be as detailed as possible.
"Thank you, you can go back first." Jiang Yuanliu got a lot of useful news in Ling Yue, and now it still needs some time to settle and digest.
So he asked Ling Yue to review the house first, and he asked Chun Tao to go to Qiu Hua's room and called Xia Li and Dong Mei to him.
"I think the two of you should be worried about Sun Mansion's comfort." Looking at the two people who were standing in front of him at this time but didn't say a word, Jiang Yuanliu spoke lightly.
As she expected, Dongmei and Xia Li both raised their heads abruptly after listening to what she said, their eyes were full of surprise, and it seemed that they didn't understand why Jiang Yuanliu knew about it.
"Xia Li, Dong Mei, now that you have come to serve Miss, you should serve Miss wholeheartedly, how can you worry about the old master?" And what Mama Xia is most unaccustomed to is that she has two hearts.
Especially now that Jiang Yuanliu's identity is different, there can be no disloyal people around him, for fear that Jiang Yuanliu will be hurt a little.
Jiang Yuanliu naturally knew why Mama Xia had such a reaction.
