Chapter 626: Relevance
"Why don't you ask me if I want to hear the good news or the bad news first?"
These words made the old Taoist's eyes light up: "Then do you want to listen to the good or the bad?" ”
Ji Yu snorted, "Okay." ”
At the very least, you can suppress the shock first.
The old Taoist priest pulled his beard and fell into a dilemma.
"What's the matter? It won't be ......"
Ji Yu stopped at the right time, not wanting to provide him with inspiration.
The old Taoist priest sighed: "The key is not good, how does this make the poor Dao choose?" ”
Ji Yu: "......"
didn't want to talk nonsense with the old Taoist priest anymore, so he turned around and beckoned to Xiao Ding, who was catching crickets in the grass not far away.
When the old Taoist priest saw this gesture, he immediately coaxed.
"Taoist heavyland, why are you still so irritable? It's time to kill and kill...... Huh! Stop it! ”
Xiao Ding didn't listen to his big truths, and drove the old Taoist priest to run around, jumping up and down, and finally sat on the ground panting like a cow.
"Poor, poor...... Poor Dao said, it is not good to say! ”
It's not over like this sooner, and you have to be honest when you go back.
"Let's talk about the Hanchang Marquis Mansion first. Eighteen years ago, did anything special happen in their house? ”
Ji Yu has also tried to inquire in the past few days, but it is very difficult to find insiders.
There are powerful people everywhere in Beijing, and the people are not surprised when something happens, unless it is particularly sensational.
But even if it is a sensation, you can still have some impression in a year or two, and you can't say for ten or eight years.
Besides, this was eighteen years ago? Not the one involved, who would bother with that.
"Eighteen years ago, there was really a case, guess ......"
The old Taoist priest originally wanted to sell a pass, but when he received Ji Yu's eyes, he cleared his throat and continued to go down.
"That year, the prince of the Marquis of Hanchang and the youngest daughter of the Ministry of Rites eloped."
The prince of the Marquis of Hanchang is undoubtedly the current Marquis of Hanchang. The Book of Rites should be the Book of the Former Ministry of Rites...... In other words, Wei and Wei Huaizhen eloped?
To be honest, Ji Yu was also so suspicious
After learning about Wei's origin, the concubine theory, the room theory, and the outer room theory were all eliminated, and only elopement remained.
Although the family background is very good, who hasn't had a rebellious period of youth? When the love is strong, it is really difficult to estimate what men and women who are in love can do.
Rationally thinks so, but emotionally Ji Yu still can't accept it.
Wei's words and deeds are still in her memory, and she doesn't look like a woman who can do anything out of the ordinary.
Also, if she really has a deep affection for Wei Huaizhen to the point where she is willing to elope with him, why will she accept Ji Lianbai in the future - there is no coercion, and it is not all to repay the favor, it is the kind of acceptance that really has feelings.
When she was dying, she held her daughter's hand, thinking about her distant parents, and she didn't mention Wei Huaizhen at all.
But she did give birth to Wei Huaizhen's child...... Could it be that he was too deeply injured and completely lost his heart?
Wounded......
"And then? They eloped, what happened? ”
The Marquis of Han Chang married Wei, and Wei was trafficked to Guanbei, and this elopement ended in failure.
As a result, Ji Yu already knew, what she needed to know was the process - why did the two elope out of Beijing together, one came back unscathed, and the other ended up so miserable?
"Is it that the Marquis of Han Chang is unlucky, or is the old lady Wei using some means?"
"It is said that on the way south by boat, there were bandits one night, and the whole ship sank. The son of the world was rescued, but your mother was nowhere to be found, and she searched for several days on the water but couldn't find it...... Gee. ”
The old Taoist priest didn't know where to find a handful of fried beans, and the one that was clucking and biting was called a crispy.
Ji Yu didn't have time to pay attention to him: "Is this really the case?" ”
Where did you meet the water bandits so coincidentally? If you really meet, you can still have a living mouth, and being a water bandit is not enough to eat idle food.
Where was it so coincidentally rescued? It is still Han Changhou who is saved, and this is not due to Ji Yu's conspiracy theory.
The old Taoist priest shook his head: "Then only God knows." ”
God wouldn't tell her if he knew, Ji Yu wondered if it would be better to go to the place where the incident occurred.
The old Taoist priest advised her to dispel this idea quickly.
"That place is very far away, Poor Dao has inquired for you, the area where the accident happened is still rampant with water bandits, and how far away it is, and it happened on the water, who do you ask? Don't take a small life in vain. ”
Although the old Taoist priest is not very reliable, these few sentences of analysis are still reasonable.
Ji Yu also knew that it was not feasible, but she had something in her heart that could not be up or down.
It's okay if there is no hidden secret, at most Wei's is blinded by love.
If there is a hidden secret, then isn't Wei wronged? After all, it's the price of a lifetime.
The old Taoist priest took advantage of her daze, went out for a walk, and came back from the boss unhappy.
"You have become a big fish and meat in the Nahou Mansion during the day, but you also brought some out of the poor road, why are you embarrassed to come empty-handed."
Ji Yu didn't bother to pay attention to him, he didn't ...... himself Oh, not empty-handed. There are chicken legs, there are fried beans, but they all go into his own stomach.
"Who told you I was a big fish and a big meat by day?"
"What? Do they dare not give you food? The old Taoist priest instantly came to his senses, "No, if you want to bully, you will bully others." That's being left out in the cold! ”
"Pretty much."
Ji Yu was not happy to see the people in the Hou Mansion, and some people in the Hou Mansion also intentionally or unintentionally ignored her existence.
These people must have been instructed, either Fuxi Hall or Changhong Academy.
Speaking of which, from the time she entered Beijing to the present, Webster has not even appeared.
But it's not hard to understand.
Hire is a wife and a concubine, rounding off Ji Yu is a concubine, although she doesn't want to admit it, but in the eyes of the world.
Even if Webster didn't like her, he really couldn't bother with her.
But think about the fire in your home and the poison on your road...... Does Merriam-Webster really not care as much as he appears?
"Why did they elope back then?" Ji Yu asked.
"Left and right, parents don't agree!"
"Nonsense, agree or elope? I'm asking you if there are any other people involved? For example, did the Marquis of Han Chang have a partner to discuss at that time. ”
The old Taoist priest's eyes were shining, and his heart was obviously empty.
Ji Yu hugged her arms and laughed: "Who made the chest slam, and what else did you say was foolproof." The signboard is smashed, smashed to pieces. ”
The old Taoist priest was unconvinced and said: "Those men and women love each other, how can the poor Taoist know?" Isn't this what you often call a blind spot in knowledge, I don't believe you ask something else. ”
"That old man Wei resigned back then, does it have anything to do with this matter?"
"Yes, there must be, but it's not all. It seems that he was impeached, saying that he couldn't teach his daughter well or something......"
When Ji Yu heard this, she felt both funny and angry.
"Can't teach my daughter well? Let's not talk about things yet, even if Wei's elopement is real, what does this have to do with Master Wei? It's not that he has a moral deficit, and dying can only be regarded as a family matter. ”
"Oh, officialdom is like that, don't care what means you use, eliminate one by one."
That's right, too.
Officialdom is tilted and mutual attacks are the norm.
Boss Wei is in a high position, and he doesn't know how many pairs of eyes he is staring at, and he can't wait to grab some mistakes and pull him off the horse, and it doesn't matter if the reason is enough or not.
If Wei knew that his father who was killed because of himself was deeply implicated, he didn't know how uncomfortable he would be.
Thinking of the face that looked like her grandfather, Ji Yu was also uncomfortable.
Mr. Wei lost his beloved daughter, and he had to face pointing fingers and attacking his colleagues, and the predicament of the year must have hit him hard, and he didn't know if he had come out of it all these years......
