Chapter 20: The Old Lady Please

On the fifth day of returning to Beijing, Yu Can moved out of Songhe Courtyard and came to live alone in Xingyun Courtyard next door. In just a few days, the Yao family has already received all the dowries of the pioneer Cen family.

Those who were "lost" and "accidentally broken", the Yao family did not directly care about the Li family, but only let people report to Mrs. Yu to know, and went three or five times a day, which made him very annoyed.

These are the things that the long house should want, and the old lady Yu is embarrassed to reprimand his daughter-in-law, and in anger, he scolded the Li family and ordered her to use the private money to make up for the loopholes.

No matter how arrogant the Li family was in front of the juniors, they didn't dare to go against Old Lady Yu. Returning the Cen family's dowry was to dig up the flesh from her heart and take out the private money to make up for the leak, which made her breath poor.

Li originally expected the stewards in the shop to rely on the old and sell the old, and ran to Yu Mansion to sing a play against Yao's, but who knew that after a play was sung, the steward and Xiao Er's jobs were all lost, and they ran to her to cry and cry for a way to survive.

Then Yu Xinyi was crying and scolding in front of her day after day, and Li finally got sick alive, and drank bowl after bowl of decoction without getting better, and she screamed in bed every day with a headache.

After hearing this, Yao enthusiastically took the initiative to run to the main courtyard to serve the sick, but Li couldn't breathe when he saw her face, so he had to replace Zhou and Wu.

The two concubines had to serve the sick, and the personnel in the house were temporarily handed over to the Yao family to take care of, and she easily changed what should be changed, and the ones that should be rectified were not soft, and in just two days, the subordinates were cleaned up and obedient.

Yao took the opportunity to find someone to come and chose a number of clever and capable subordinates for Changfang, and Yu Can also had a personal maid named Lisheng by his side, who was sixteen like Taozhi.

The pear tip has a round face, round eyes, and a pair of tiger teeth when she laughs, which looks very festive. She is quick with her hands and feet, sensible and obedient, and helps Taozhi share a lot of chores.

Early this morning, Yu Can led the two maids to the Songhe Courtyard next door to say goodbye.

I heard my father and brother say last night that she would rest in the house for a day today, and she planned to take a convenient time to talk about the drowning of people in the back garden.

In the past two days, her mother has been busy renovating the Yu Mansion, and her father and brother are socializing outside, and there is almost no time for the four of them to get together. Fortunately, everyone was here today, and we had a good breakfast.

"Cancan, there will be a flower party and a lantern festival on the sixteenth day of the first month in Beijing, will you go to play with a few sisters at that time?" Yao saw that she was fine in the house, so he wanted to persuade her to go out and make friends of the same age.

"Well, then I'll talk to my sisters later."

Yu Can responded, she already loves to play, but she has been distracted by the strange things that happened to her recently, and she is of course very happy when she hears that there is a lively scene.

Yu Zhiyuan and Yu Shuo were chatting about the affairs of the imperial court, and the two had recently contacted old friends and inquired about a lot of news.

"What Cancan saw should be fulfilled again," Yu Zhiyuan said, "I heard that Dali Siqing and a Shaoqing were involved in a corruption case, and these two positions must be vacated." According to what Cancan said, there is no doubt that I will serve as a young secretary. ”

"Then dad can I find out who will be the secretary of Dali Temple?" Yu Shuo narrowed his eyes and said, "Could it be Lord Chen who is walking with us?" ”

Lord Chen used to be the assassin of Zhongzhou, and his official qualifications were slightly higher than Yu Zhiyuan's, Yu Zhiyuan nodded when he heard this, and said, "If nothing else, it's probably him." ”

Yu Zhiyuan was a little stunned, he has served as the assassin of Xiazhou for more than six years, he has been conscientious, and his political achievements are obvious to all, and the position of Dali Siqing is not unqualified.

It's just that Yufu's reputation in Beijing is really bad, and second, his daughter's "prophecy" is like this, so he can only accept his fate.

Yao knew him best, and knew what he was thinking when he saw his expression.

I sandwiched a crystal shrimp dumpling for him, and said euphemistically: "Now it's much more generous than before, and the better days are still to come." Shuo'er is angry, Cancan is also obedient and sensible, what's not to like? ”

When Yu Zhiyuan heard this, he smiled heartily: "Haha, what Madam said is very true, good days are still ahead!" ”

A few days ago, the news that the emperor rewarded Yu Shuo had already spread, and Yu Zhiyuan had a lot of face when he walked outside, and the words he heard the most recently were: It's good that my rabbit cub has half of your family.

The emperor gave two boxes of good materials, two boxes of precious ornaments, and a box full of snowflake silver.

Yu Shuo and his parents carefully picked out some, honored the old lady and the old lady, and gave two horses and two small ornaments to the second and third rooms.

Yu Shuo handed over all the silver to the Yao family, and said that he would divide the materials and ornaments into two parts and make dowries for Yu Can and Yu Ling.

With these many rewards, the life of the long house is indeed much better, and now that it is only to be appointed, the family can stay in Beijing and live in peace of mind.

It's just that when he thought that those rewards were exchanged for his son's life, Yu Zhiyuan was still a little afraid, and every time he thought about it, he was extremely grateful to Jing Yan who saved his son's life.

"I heard that the emperor intends to let General Jing Xiao attack the position of the prince of Zhenguo?"

"It seems to be, but it is said that the Queen Mother insisted on dissuading him, saying that he is young and has a high position is not a good thing." Yu Shuo hasn't seen Jing Yan himself recently, and these things are all hearsay. "There are too many things involved, and no one can say for sure until it is decided."

The current emperor and the eldest princess Huiyang, who married into the Jing family, are compatriots of the same mother, but the biological mother is not the current Empress Dowager Qi.

Empress Dowager Qi is the successor of the first emperor and has a son and a daughter, her son King Cheng lives in the capital, and her daughter Princess Jingyang married the country and died on the day of the country's ruin.

"Well, that's true." Yu Zhiyuan privately believes that the Jing family has been loyal and good for generations, and all the men of this generation have died in battle except for Jing Yan, and it is impossible to pass on the position of Zhenguo Gong to him.

But it is about the fighting between the queen mother and the emperor, and there are rumors outside that Jing Yan is violent and unworthy, and no one dares to say much about it now.

Yu Can didn't like to listen to the things of the court, and he didn't want to say that terrible prophecy early in the morning.

Hearing them mention the big hero who was so angry, he couldn't help but ask, "Dad, brother, is General Jing Xiao healed?" I went to buy pastries that day and ran into his guards! ”

Yu Zhiyuan was stunned when he heard this, and Yu Shuo almost didn't react.

After thinking about it, I realized that they had a lot of taboos along the way, and when they mentioned these two people, they were vague, and they only referred to them as "guests", Yu Can must have mistaken people.

Just as she was about to explain a thing or two, an amber message suddenly came from outside the door.

"Sir, madam, old lady sent someone to invite."

When Yao Shi heard this, he raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you say what happened?" ”

Amber didn't enter the door, and said crisply outside: "I didn't say it, just let me go quickly, I think it's something important." ”

Yu Zhiyuan and Yao glanced at each other, both helpless.

"Shuo'er, Cancan, you guys also go together, anyway, it's time to go and say hello after dinner."

Hearing Yao's words, Yu Can's curiosity about General Jing Xiao was completely dissipated, and his little face was wrinkled. Every day she goes to ask for peace, she has to listen to the old lady say bad things about her in her heart, it's just a magic sound!
