Chapter 292: A Thousand Gold
Wangjing Village is a village on the edge of Yujing, the village at the foot of the Son of Heaven is not very rich, and the people can be regarded as worry-free about food and clothing.
It was the beginning of spring, when most of the people were working in the fields, and when Yun Qing passed by the entrance of the village in disguise, he saw the farmers working hard in the fields, and for a moment suddenly understood why Yun Jingmo wanted to carry out the new policy no matter what.
The people have worked hard for a year, and most of the harvest has to be handed over to those rich families, who are tired and tired, and they can only get enough food and clothing.
In the long run, the rich will become richer and the poor will be poorer, but I am afraid that without the appearance of the imperial court, the people themselves will be resentful.
"Your Highness, Lord Qingyun has sent someone to inquire, and the woman who looks like Chang Yue lives in the family surnamed Chen at the west entrance of the village." Yongyun whispered beside Yun Qing.
Yun Qing glanced at Fu Mingli, who was whispering to Wang Jin, and asked Yongyun softly: "I haven't returned to the palace these days and haven't inquired about the situation in the palace, do you know if there have been any major changes in the court recently?" ”
"The slave maid heard Sister Yongling say that His Royal Highness and several adults who have been rewarded by His Majesty have recently begun to take care of local affairs, but they have not heard of any changes."
"The calmer it is, the more big waves are brewing." Yun Qing turned the jade bracelet on his wrist: "By this time, those big clans should also wake up." ”
Yongyun nodded and said: "The slave maid feels the same, those young officials are all members of the new emperor's party, and they are gradually grasping real power, and the ministers are probably not quietly waiting to be slaughtered." ”
Yun Qing laughed at her: "You know a lot." ”
"The slaves and maids have been with His Highness for all these years, and they all know some things in the court." Yongyun said: "Your Highness, don't look down on slaves. ”
"Since you know so much, then I'll test you, which of them will be the first to attack the young officials?"
“…… Your Highness, you're going to be embarrassed, slave and maid. Yongyun shook her head like a rattle: "The slave can't even remember how many young adults there are." ”
Yun Qing pulled the corners of her lips and wanted to talk to her, but Fu Mingli on the right pinched her palm and dragged her to her side: "Sister Yun is here to accompany me or to accompany your maid?" I didn't even say a few words along the way, but I kept talking nonsense with her. ”
Yongyun wanted to return the favor, but when he spoke, he thought of what Qingyun had said before he trained himself, and bit his lip and stopped.
"Alright." Yun Qing laughed at him and was jealous like a child, pestle his arm and said, "It's true to accompany you out, but you have to let me do something first." When we find out whether it's true or not, I'll definitely accompany you to the neighborhood. ”
Fu Mingli raised his eyebrows and believed her for the time being.
The group walked to the west entrance of the village, and before they could find someone to ask where the family surnamed Chen was, they saw a woman squatting in front of a family to persuade a child.
The man was fair-skinned, and his squatting posture carried the beauty of a woman, and it was rare to see such a woman in the countryside, and Yun Qing almost immediately determined the identity of the other party.
When the woman heard the sound and turned her head, she saw the face that was no different from the one she remembered.
Chang Yue's coarse linen clothes, his originally delicate face was stained with a lot of dust, his waist was slightly bent, and his eyes were inadvertently swept with exhaustion.
Seeing her wandering, the little boy next to her kicked him in annoyance.
There was a clear resentment in her eyes, but in a moment she picked up the boy as if nothing had happened, and her eyes stopped on her face for a moment, and she quickly moved away, and then entered the door of the house without looking back.
Yongyun was dumbfounded: "This is Chang Yue?" …… How did she become like this? ”
Chang Yue in her memory always straightens her waist proudly, and her look at people is always a little arrogant, but she can't repay it a hundred times if others are half neglectful, and this obedient woman is like two people.
Yun Qing looked faint.
Fu Mingli looked at Yun Qing with interest and reminded, "She was dressed as a woman just now. ”
"Hmm." Yun Qing nodded and said firmly: "It's her." ”
"She's the daughter of the Marquis of Anyuan." Yongyun couldn't figure it out anyway: "How could the daughter of the dignified marquis mansion fall into such a field?" ”
"This may be what Yun Jingmo wants to hide from me." Yun Qing paused for a moment and continued: "One. ”
Yongyun: "Your Majesty wouldn't really treat Chang Yue like this for His Highness, right?" ”
"Fool." Fu Mingli laughed.
Yongyun pressed the fire and asked Yunqing, "Your Highness, is he talking about slaves?" ”
"It should be." Yun Qing replied sincerely.
"Where is the slave and maid stupid?" Yongyun was very unwilling, she always thought that although her head was not very bright, she could be regarded as smart among normal people, where could she bear to be so despised.
She finally couldn't help it, and asked Fu Mingli angrily: "Who do you say is stupid?" ”
Fu Mingli only glanced at her, and didn't even bother to speak.
Yun Qing soothed Yongyun's finger pointing at Fu Mingli comfortingly, "If Yun Jingmo starts, she will never be able to stand here properly." Marrying a woman of a large clan into a wilderness village is not something that an emperor can do. ”
"Killing people directly, or putting them in prison and waiting for them to be tortured, may be more in line with his identity."
"Your Highness, are you saying that Chang Yue's appearance here should not have been done by His Majesty?"
"It's Marquis An Yuan's foresight." Fu Mingli took Yun Qing's hand, "Now like this, it's better to live decently, otherwise when your majesty starts, I'm afraid it's better to live than to die." ”
"Your Highness, who did you say, who was the child in Chang Yue's arms just now?" Yongyun stared at the closed door and said, "How long has Chang Yue been away from the Hou Mansion, shouldn't he have a child so soon?" ”
Yun Qing had a guess in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "Who knows, it's not good to say that it's a junior in the family." ”
Fu Mingli looked at him with a smile, and pinched her lightly in his hand.
Yun Qing got the answer he wanted to know, and looked at him sideways with a smile: "I know almost everything I want to know, let's go, take you around Yu Jing." ”
Fu Mingli was satisfied.
The matter of his coming to Yu Country can't be known to outsiders, and many places can't be visited, so the two of them can only walk along the dirt road on the outskirts of Beijing, followed by Yongyun and Wang Jin from afar.
"Before coming here, I had the identity of the person who poisoned the queen mother find out." Fu Mingli looked at the gurgling stream in front of him, and said with a gentle expression: "The origin of that person is a mystery, but it is not without a trace, and it really allowed me to check some useful things." ”
