Yao Hei'er almost jumped up from the stone bench covered with wolf skin mattresses.

She froze down, pretended to be indifferent, glanced at the young man lightly, and said with a smile, "Childe thinks he misheard some gossip from others, and there is no such thing." ”

The young man was not in a hurry or impatient, and sat down on the stone bench next to Yao Hei'er, and said in a low voice, "Madame naturally refuses to admit it, if I tell Madame that the newborn prince has three black moles under his left ribs, I wonder if Madame will deny it outright?" is the lady flatly denied it, if I spread the news and the palace knows about it, will the empress dowager and the empress dowager notice anything? ”

The flesh on Yao Hei'er's cheeks jumped a few times suddenly, she sank her face and said coldly, "Who are you?" What exactly do you want to do? ”

The young man unhurriedly dusted off his sleeves, cocked Erlang's legs, picked up the tea in front of Yao Hei'er, took a sip, and said, "Good tea!" Good tea! It's just a little cold! ”

Yao Hei'er didn't say a word, but she couldn't help but take out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wipe the beads of sweat from her forehead.

The young man stretched out his hand and touched Yao Hei'er's white fox crane, and praised "Good clothes!" Good clothes! What exactly is this done? In this big wax moon, I was shivering from the cold, but my wife was so hot that I was sweating. ”

Yao Hei'er struggled in disgust, looked down and saw that a black handprint had been left on the white fox crane, suppressed the anger in his heart, and reluctantly said, "If the son has anything to say, just explain." Even if there are any requirements, I can do it. ”

The young man showed a smug look on his face and said, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that under the planning of my wife, I, who couldn't even afford to eat, would become the father of the prince." I heard that the emperor is not good now, and the prince will ascend the throne in the future, ouch, haven't I become the emperor's father? Tsk, tsk, aren't I too emperor? ”

Yao Hei'er's face became more and more gloomy, and she said coldly, "Say, how much money do you need to leave the cold city without stopping?" ”

The young man's face changed, and he squeezed out two tears from his eyes, "Madam, I don't want silver." It's just because my family is too poor, but there is a mother who knows that my mother is going to give birth, and says that someone pays a lot of money to buy my child, and I am reluctant! But I can't watch my wife starve to death, what can I do...... Who knows, when the child is born, my lady is also dead, bury my mother, and spend all the money, what else do I have to live......"

"That's it!" Yao Hei'er stood up suddenly, and said, "What do you want, just say it, if you want to get your son back, how about I go to the palace to bring it back for you?" ”

"Huh!" The young man laughed dryly, "Madame, why should you be in a hurry? Since the child has been sent out, how can he bring it back? 10,000 taels of silver! As long as my wife gives me 10,000 taels of silver, I will never mention a word to anyone! ”

Yao Hei'er frowned, lowered her head and thought about it, and suddenly smiled and said, "Childe, this is not a big deal, you look at my mansion, how luxurious, if I give you this ten thousand taels of silver, it is not a big deal." It's just a little bit of preparation, you wait here for a while, I'll go and tell the housekeeper to exchange the silver for a silver ticket and bring it to the son, what do you think? If it is so cashy, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient for the son to hold it. ”

The young man was suddenly overjoyed, and said busily, "Madame, just go and be busy, just be busy, but your garden is also very big, I'll take a look at it, take a look at it." ”

Yao Hei'er smiled and turned to go.

The young man was triumphant, stood up, put his hands behind his back, and wandered around the garden. Although it is winter, most of the flowers and trees in the garden have withered, but there are dozens of plum trees in the northwest corner. When the young man saw it from afar, he came over, nodded his head in admiration, and put his nose on the plum to sniff the smell.

An hour had passed, and two hours had passed, and the young man became impatient, and when he looked around, and there was no one to be seen, he cried out at the top of his voice, "Where are the people?" What about people? No one is coming, and the master is going to shout! ”

"Childe, don't worry!" Yao Hei'er appeared behind the young man with a smile on her face, holding a food box in her hand, and said with a smile, "Childe has been here for half a day, I think he is hungry and thirsty, there is some tea and rice here, and Childe has a stomach." Childe, please think about it, such a large amount of silver, even if it is weighed in the silver village, it will take a long time, and it will have to be counted clearly before it can be exchanged for a silver ticket, isn't it? ”

The young man tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded, "Okay, I'll wait while eating." ”

Yao Hei'er put down the food box on the stone table in the pavilion, opened it, and a fragrance came to her nose.

Where have young people seen these meals? Without thinking about it, he immediately picked up the toothbrush and devoured it.

Seeing that the food was at the bottom, the young man burped, raised his head and said, "Madame, go and urge again, I'm still in a hurry." ”

"That's what Childe said!" Yao Hei'er smiled and handed over a cup of tea, "Childe, drink this cup of tea, I'll go." ”

The young man took the tea, drank it all, burped again, and said, "Uh-uh-well, all right, all right, ma'am, just go." Just be quick. ”

Yao Hei'er smiled slightly, took the teacup, and turned to leave.

In the middle of the afternoon, a girl suddenly broke into Yao Hei'er's room, and said in a panic, "Madam, madam, no, the young man who was admiring the plum blossoms in the back garden suddenly fell to the ground, like a ...... It's like ......"

Yao Hei'er threw aside the hand stove in her arms, and said sharply, "What do you have to say, say it well, what are you panicking about?" ”

"Yes! Be! The girl froze and said, "Madam, that young man seems to be out of breath!" ”

"What?" Yao Hei'er was shocked and hurriedly said, "How is this good?" How can such a thing happen in our family? He said that he went to the house to see the plum blossoms, and I kindly kept him, how could this be? Fast! Hurry up and inform the yamen and send a servant to conduct an autopsy! Also, let's leave the young man for a meal, and don't touch his leftover meals, let the people in the yamen see them, and then talk about it. ”

When the people from the Criminal Department heard that something had happened in Mrs. Yao Guo's house, they immediately sent seven or eight officials to check on them.

The leader inspected the scene, and there was nothing suspicious, so he said, "Mrs. Yao Guo, what is going on?" Why did such a poor man come to his wife's house? ”

Yao Hei'er turned pale, covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a crying voice, "My lord, it was in the morning, this young man was making trouble in front of the door, saying that he was going to enter the house, and the janitor asked him what he was doing, but he didn't say anything, he would definitely see me." I thought I was a poor man, but my family couldn't get by, and I needed a few taels of silver to live—and my lords knew that I had been giving porridge outside, and if there were people who couldn't go on, I often gave them a few taels of silver—so I ordered someone to bring them in. Who knew that this young man was so interesting, not for the silver, but only that he saw the plum blossoms in my house blooming outside the garden, and he wanted to come in and watch it. I didn't think it was a big deal, so I left him in the back garden to watch, and ordered no one to disturb him. At noon, I brought food to eat with him—well, those were the ones that had not been cleaned up on the stone table. ”

Several officials looked at each other, and the leader ordered, "You guys, go check the food." ”
