581 rumors

"Boom!"

Obviously, the sky is clear outside now, but Old Lady Chu and Mrs. Chu feel as if a thunderous sound sounded in their ears, and they didn't come back to their senses for a while.

Foresee?!

If it weren't for the fact that these words came from Duanmu's mouth, the old couple would probably think that the person who said this was crazy!

Duanmu Fei didn't expect Old Lady Chu and his wife to believe her so easily, and continued: "Grandpa Guo still remembers that three years ago, in the Ningjiang Palace, the concubine Feng Zhi had hysteria? Before that, the second princess had ......"

Only Duanmufei's voice was left in the room.

She told everything about the events at that time and her temptation of Chu Qingyu at that time.

It was precisely because of Chu Qingyu that she was able to save Anping.

Old Lady Chu and Mrs. Chu listened, their faces became more and more solemn, their eyes were bright and dark, and their minds were in chaos.

Mrs. Chu suddenly remembered something and muttered, "Foreknowledge Dream ......"

Once, Chu Qingyu rushed to them and claimed to be Guanyin Bodhisattva into a dream, and told her something about the future in the dream, and she couldn't say a lot of things in order to confirm this, and most of those things were indeed fulfilled.

The son is silent, and the strange force is confused.

Although they didn't believe that Chu Qingyu really had a prophetic dream, they didn't understand how she knew these things.

And, one more point.

Chu Qingyu knew Feng Yan's true life experience, and it stands to reason that she would not know it at all, unless, as Duanmu Fei said, Chu Qingyu can be unpredictable!

Thinking of this, the two elders' eyes widened. All this is so mysterious!!

Duanmu Fei's eyes were half-lowered, her eyes flickered, she subconsciously twisted her white and soft fingers, and her heart was both nervous and flustered.

Now that Chu Qingyu has fallen into a desperate situation, she will definitely squeeze her brains to find a way to protect herself and take out her last hole cards for another way out.

So, nine times out of ten, my brother is really alive.

Pounding! Pounding!

Duanmu's heartbeat is getting faster and faster.

She took a few deep breaths, her beating heart slowly calmed down, and her emotions stabilized.

"Old lady Chu, Mrs. Chu, what the second princess said, no matter how incredible it is, whether you believe it or not, don't make a good conclusion easily."

She knew that with her grandfather and grandmother's temperament, she didn't believe in those tricks, but if her brother was really alive, even if there was a very small possibility, she wanted to give it a try!

In particular, Chu Qingci is dead, dying in the prime of life, she can see that the death of her and her parents has left a hole in the hearts of her grandfather and grandmother that is difficult to fill, if her younger brother can find it, he will definitely be able to make up for many regrets of her grandfather and grandmother.

Old Lady Chu and Mrs. Chu had a deep groan on their faces.

Duanmu Fei could see that the two elders had taken her words to heart, so they didn't say anything more.

She believes that her grandparents are the same as herself, and they will not give up even if they only have a hint of a clue from their younger brother.

The room was quiet, and the occasional sound of birds flapping their wings and the wind blowing the leaves outside the window was heard from time to time, making the surroundings quieter.

"Meow!" Xue Yu looked at Duanmufei, and then at the second elder of the Chu family, screamed restlessly, and took the initiative to rub Duanmufei's palm with her fluffy head.

Duanmu Fei's heart melted when she was rubbed by it, her eyes were bent like a crescent moon with a smile, and the snow jade on her knees was also squinting with satisfaction.

At this moment, this person and cat looked surprisingly similar.

Old lady Chu suddenly had some itchiness, and wanted to draw a picture for this little girl and Xue Yu.

Thinking of the painting, Old Lady Chu remembered one thing, and asked with a smile: "Scarlet, are you here to stamp your "Ink Chrysanthemum Picture" today?" ”

Duanmu smiled and nodded in response.

"Shuxiang, you go to the study and get the painting." Old lady Chu instructed Shuxiangdao.

Duanmu Fei lowered her head and went to her purse to take out her small seal, in addition to the small seal, she also took out a small comb and combed Xue Yu with great interest, Xue Yu made a "grunt" sound with satisfaction, and it was almost stuck to her leg and refused to leave.

When Shuxiang brought the "Ink Chrysanthemum Picture", Duanmu Fei found that the painting had been framed, and at first glance it was hand-framed by his grandfather.

Grandfather really liked his paintings! Duanmu Fei thought of this, and felt extremely satisfied.

She smiled and stamped the painting, thinking, "By the way, next time she will copy some Buddhist scriptures for her grandmother."

No matter how close she is with her grandparents and grandmothers, she can't come here to visit them every day, at most, she can only occasionally embroider some embroidery, paintings, copy Buddhist scriptures, and send them some food.

Old lady Chu watched Duanmu Fei stamp the painting, and after taking a closer look at the painting, he instructed Shuxiang to hang the painting in his study.

Duanmu Fei accompanied the second elder to have lunch at the Chu family, and did not leave the Chu family until the beginning of the year.

Xue Yu was reluctant to let Duanmu Fei go, if it weren't for Shuxiang holding it, it almost followed Duanmu Fei into the carriage.

"Meow, meow......"

Until the carriage drove out of the corner door on one side, the cat's meow still clearly echoed in Duanmufei's ears, she looked back from the window of the carriage, her eyes fixed on the plaque that read "Xuanguo Mansion", and her expression was stunned.

The carriage gradually drove away, Duanmu Fei's eyes were in a trance, and Chu Qingyu couldn't hover in her mind.

She thought about Chu Qingyu, what Chu Qingyu had done over the years, and thought about her rebirth......

God gave me the opportunity to live again, so that I could have this healthy body, so that I could continue to live, have relatives, and have Feng Yan.

God also gave Chu Qingyu the opportunity to do it all over again, and for what?!

It all started four years ago at the Yunmen Temple.

If it weren't for Chu Qingyu, Chu Qingci would not have died in Yunmen Temple, and in this way, he would not have become Duanmu Fei and have this new life.

If it weren't for Chu Qingyu, the eldest princess of Anping would probably have committed suicide because of the "swaddling" incident.

If it weren't for Chu Qingyu, his younger brother Chu Tingshu might never be able to get it back......

Maybe......

She can be used as Chu Qingyu's opportunity, maybe it is also God who wants to be herself, so that she can leave no regrets in her life.

Duanmu's big eyes were dark and dark, and two clusters of flames were ignited, bright as the scorching summer sun, scorching and shining.

The golden sunlight shone on her through the window of the carriage, as if gilding her with a faint halo, and her little face was quiet and full of anticipation.

At this time, the carriage turned around with Duanmu Fei on the right, and the Xuanguo Mansion disappeared from her field of vision.

Duanmufei lowered the curtains, and the carriage was silent, only her breathing echoed in the carriage.

Brother Shu.

Duanmu Fei silently read his brother's name in his heart, his face was radiant, thinking about it, and he couldn't help but imagine what his brother would look like......

She remembered that her brother looked very similar to her, and his facial features were a little more like his mother's, that is, his brother's nose was like his father's.

Now my brother should be fifteen years old, and he is also a teenager, but he probably doesn't remember what happened when he was a child, after all, he was only three years old when he was lost.

My brother has had a hard time these years......

Duanmu suppressed a trace of melancholy in his heart, and said to himself that as long as his grandfather was concerned, he would inevitably pry open Chu Qingyu's mouth, and he would definitely be able to find his younger brother.

She just had to wait......

Wait......

The carriage shuttled through the streets of the capital with the whip of the coachman, and after a stick of incense, it returned to Quanyu Street, and in the distance, a sharp quarrel was heard outside.

Duanmu Fei came back to his senses, opened the curtains again, and looked out of the carriage following the sound.

At a glance, she saw a somewhat familiar carriage parked at the door of Duanmu Mansion, which was the carriage of the Yang family.

A servant woman of the Yang family was arguing with the porter of Duanmu Mansion, looking excited.

Duanmuqi raised her eyebrows, Duanmuqi really didn't give up.

On the day when Duanmu Heng and Ji Lanzhou both congratulated He Hong, Duanmu Xian had already let go of his words, so that Duanmu Qi didn't have to come to the door again, but of course Duanmu Qi would not be so obedient, and after that, she and Yang Xuyao came to the door several times, but they were all turned away.

As the carriage approached, the sound of the quarrel ahead was heard.

“…… Please come back! The old lady had an order not to allow the second aunt and grandmother to enter. The porter was sweating profusely and said politely.

"Our lady didn't come to see the old lady, so wouldn't she want to come and see her grandmother?" The servant woman said in a loud voice, "The old lady was also angry that day, so she said something serious...... Anyway, the old lady is not here now, what if you let our lady in? ”

The porter waved his hand helplessly, "Where does the villain dare to disobey the old lady's wishes, please go back......"

While speaking, a figure in a lilac-colored dress stepped down from the Yang family's carriage, and Duanmu Fei recognized this as Duanmu Qi as soon as he looked at the other party's back.

Duanmuqi looked a lot haggard than when he came to the mansion last time, and his chin was still high.

"You're not going to get out of the way for me!" Duanmu Qi scolded the porter, "I'm a girl from the Duanmu family, why can't I go back to my parents' house!" My grandfather won't let me in, so he can't get rid of me! ”

The porter was a little weak towards Shangduan Muqi, but fortunately, Duanmuqi heard the sound of the carriage behind him and was distracted.

Duanmuqi turned his head to look, and happened to meet half of Duanmufei's little face leaning out of the window.

Duanmuqi was already angry, but when she saw Duanmufei, she was angry and rushed straight to her head, and the whole person was about to burn, so angry and ashamed that she only felt that Duanmu Fei saw a joke.

When the porter saw Duanmu Fei returning, he smiled happily and called, "Four girls." The four girls are back! ”

Several porters-in-law hurriedly moved, some went to meet the wooden carriage, and some went to open the corner door.

Duanmuqi seemed to have been slapped in the face, his face was blue and white, white and red.

Why is she the daughter of the Duanmu family, she is going to be stopped from the house, but Duanmu Fei is the stars and the moon.

The more Duanmu Qi thought about it, the more angry she became, and strode to Duanmufei's carriage and blocked the way.

"Duanmufei," Duanmuqi raised his hand and pointed at Duanmufei, calling him by name, "It must be you." It must have been you who sowed discord in front of my grandfather to make him treat me like this. ”

Duanmuqi's voice became higher and sharper, and his crazy appearance really wanted to rush forward and tear Duanmu Fei apart.

Duanmu Fei just learned the news that his younger brother Chu Tingshu is very likely to be alive today, and he is in a very good mood, even if the sky is about to fall, it will not affect her.

"Second sister, you have to think about what you are doing wrong, the more you make trouble, the more annoying your grandfather is." Duanmu Fei was in a good mood, so he casually mentioned it.

But that's not all.

Duanmuqi has always looked at Duanmu Fei unpleasantly, and he couldn't listen to it at all, he only felt that Duanmu Fei was sarcastic about himself, and the green tendons on his forehead were slightly convex.

"You don't talk about it!" Duanmu Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Two sides and three knives, and you still want to pretend to be a good person in front of me!" ”

Duanmu Fei no longer paid attention to Duanmu Qi, and ordered to the porter with a smile: "Enter the house." ”

The porter's mother-in-law took the order, and hurriedly blocked Duanmuqi half-pushed and half-invited, and said politely: "Second aunt and grandmother, please let go." ”

The servant of the Yang family quickly escorted Duanmu Qi, "You dare to do something to our wife!" ”

The porter's wife didn't bother to talk to her at all, and the carriage that greeted Mu Fei entered the house through the corner gate on the west side.

Duanmuqi stood behind the servant woman, looking at Duanmufei's carriage with hatred, and her eyes became deep and violent little by little.

For Duanmufei, Duanmuqi is insignificant and not worth mentioning.

When Duanmufei returned to Zhanqing Courtyard, he didn't even think about mentioning this stubble to Duanmujun.

There were three more red lacquered wood boxes in the room than before Duanmu Fei left, each box was full, and Ji Lanzhou was also there, counting the contents of the boxes with Duanmujun.

Duanmu Fei looked around and moved his eyebrows in confusion.

What happened?! Is this going to open a shop at home again?

"Vera!" Duanmu Jun happily beckoned to Duanmu Fei, "Come and see, this is your dowry." ”

Duanmu Jun smiled and showed Duanmu Fei the dowry list, "You see this box is medicinal herbs, ginseng, rhino horn, cordyceps, deer antler, tiger bone...... These medicinal materials are all purchased from the Northeast. ”

"You see a box here is full of spices, musk, agarwood, sandalwood, dipterocarp......

Duanmu Jun didn't look at the list, but he was familiar with it by heart, like a few family treasures, Duanmu was dumbfounded when he heard it, and he really didn't know what to say.

Duanmujun didn't expect Duanmufei to say anything, and said happily: "I sent people out half a year ago and went to the Northeast and Jiangnan to buy medicinal herbs, spices and antiques. ”

"This batch is from the northeast, the number is not much, and another batch will be sent from Jiangnan with Steward Chen, which is full of three carriages."

Seeing Duanmujun's radiant spirits, Duanmufei also smiled, the corners of his lips were crooked, and he said in his heart: It's good that my sister is happy!

Anyway, the dowry will have to be divided into two parts, so it's better to buy more.

Duanmu Fei's smile was a little more cunning, and she covered her mouth and snickered silently.

Thinking that this was also a dowry for his sister, Duanmu Fei was energetic, took the dowry list, and happily looked at the things he bought with them.

After Ji Lanzhou finished the list, he suggested to Duan Mujun: "Recently, the outside has not been very stable, should you send someone to pick up Steward Chen?" ”

"I asked Steward Chen to hire a dart bureau escort." Duanmu Jun said with a smile, "It's okay to think about it." ”

Duanmujun has always been thoughtful, Ji Lanzhou was relieved a lot, and sighed: "Recently, there has been chaos outside, and thieves are rampant, but fortunately, the capital is still good." ”

And the imperial court has recently been afraid that it can't take care of the bandits in various places for the sake of the north. Duanmu secretly thought in his heart, in just eighteen years, Dasheng has gone downhill all the way, from a prosperous era to the current troubled times.

Duanmufei simply changed the topic: "Sister, sister-in-law, spices and medicinal materials should not be exposed to moisture, especially if the medicinal materials are not properly placed, it is easy to disperse the medicinal properties, do you want to come out of a whole warehouse." ”

Duanmu Jun had already thought about it, and immediately said, "Isn't Banxia Zhai empty?" I want to simply transfer all your dowry to Banxia Zhai. There is also a room in a good location, as long as it is slightly trimmed, it can be used to place those medicinal herbs and spices. ”

Duanmu twitched at the end of his eyes, and said silently in his heart again: It's good if my sister is happy.

At this time, Wisteria came in with a red lacquered wooden tray, bringing a faint fragrance of pomegranate fruit, and said with a smile: "Grandma Young, Grandma, Fourth Girl, squeeze the pomegranate juice." ”

Duanmu's eyes lit up when he boarded, like a little gluttonous cat.

Duanmu Jun just looked at his sister, the corners of his lips involuntarily curled, and said with a smile: "Zhenzhen, Lan Zhou sent a few baskets of pomegranates over today." ”

Ji Lanzhou said: "I have a Zhuangzi in Wanzhou, planted a pomegranate forest, Zhuangzi just sent me more than a dozen baskets of pomegranates, I gave some to each room, you try, this season is the season to eat pomegranates." ”

The freshly squeezed pomegranate juice is as clear as the bright red agate, and it tastes sweet and sour, with the fruity aroma of pomegranates.

Duanmu Fei drank most of the cup in one go, turned the white porcelain cup in his hand and said: "Pomegranates are not bad for pomegranate wine, sister, let's make pomegranate bar!" ”

Duanmufei has always liked to make wine, and from time to time he will take advantage of the flower season to make some plum blossom wine, Bifang wine, osmanthus wine, pear blossom wine, chrysanthemum wine and so on.

Ji Lanzhou casually booked a jar of pomegranate wine for himself and Duanmu Heng, but Duanmujun's expression was a little subtle, and he always felt that since his sister became obsessed with "Lotus White", there was a tendency to develop into a little drunkard......

Yesterday, someone sent two jars of "Lotus White" to the house.

Thinking of the wine giver, Duanmu Jun half-lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes outlined a faint shadow on his cheeks, and the waves in his pupils flowed, bright and moving.

At this time, a familiar male voice came from outside: "Four girls, you have made pomegranate wine, don't forget your grandfather." ”

Duanmu Xian walked into the east room with a smile on his face, his eyes shining.

He hadn't been back to his house for several days, and as soon as he returned home, he heard that the dowry purchased by Duanmujun from the Northeast had arrived, so he came to take a look, but he didn't expect to hear that his little granddaughter was going to make wine again, and he was hooked by the wine worm.

"Grandfather, don't worry, I can't miss anyone who I have forgotten." Duanmu said with a grin.

Duanmu Xian laughed, stroked his beard, found a chair and sat down, and said with a smile: "Sister Jun, I heard that you purchased some medicinal herbs and spices for the four girls, or you are thoughtful!" ”

Duanmu Xian was really satisfied with his eldest granddaughter, and at this moment, seeing that the three of them were getting along, he was in a better mood.

"Grandfather." The three juniors saluted Duanmu Xian one after another.

Duanmujun hurriedly took the dowry list in his hand to Duanmuxian, "Grandfather, take a look, but what is missing?" ”

Duanmu Xian took a cursory look at the list, nodded with satisfaction, and asked again, "Sister Jun, is there enough silver?" Later, I'll have someone send you two thousand taels of silver tickets. If that's not enough, just tell me I'll subsidize you a little more. ”

"Grandfather, it's enough for the time being." Duanmujun carefully put away the dowry list, "If I think of anything, I will discuss it with my grandfather." ”

Duanmu Xian replied absentmindedly, extremely conflicted in his heart.

On the one hand, he felt that his little granddaughter was so good, of course he couldn't wronged her in the dowry, and on the other hand, he felt that the dowry that the eldest granddaughter had worked so hard to prepare would be cheaper than Feng Yan's stinky boy.

A few rough women came in, and quickly moved the three heavy boxes out, which also made the room a lot empty, and only a little smell of medicine filled the air.

Duanmu asked with a smile, "Grandfather, do you want to drink tea, or do you want to drink some pomegranate juice like us?" ”

Duanmuxian waved his hand, "No need, I'm going to leave soon." ”

After a pause, he said to Duanmufei: "Four girls, I also came because there is something I want to remind you." ”

"......" Duanmu Fei blinked suspiciously, she should be quite well-behaved recently, right?

Duanmu Xian sorted out his thoughts, and explained the ins and outs in a few words:

"The matter is related to the Xuanguo Mansion."

"Recently, there have been some rumors in Beijing that the emperor suddenly had a stroke when he went to visit Xuan Guogong. It was only a few days later, and Xuanguo Gong, who was originally hanging by a thread, recovered, but the emperor was unconscious. That's a coincidence! ”

"They said, I'm afraid there is not some conspiracy in this, maybe someone used the magic cup to take the dragon qi of the Son of Heaven to Xuanguo Gong for treatment, so Xuanguo Gong recovered, and Xuan Guogong's illness passed to the emperor!"

"Look at this rumor, there is a tendency to get worse."

Duanmu Xian's eyes flashed slightly, his expression was a little solemn, and he suspected that someone was pushing behind this matter.

Duanmu Fei was dumbfounded when he heard this, his small mouth opened and closed, and he was completely speechless.

Duanmuxian looked at the little girl's goldfish-like appearance, and felt very cute, and raised his hand to rub the top of her soft hair.

"If only you had a good idea." Duanmuxian also knew that Duanmufei and Mrs. Chu were close, so he specially mentioned it.

After explaining, Duanmu Xian straightened his robe and left in a hurry.

In the east room, Duanmujun, Ji Lanzhou and Duanmu Scarlet looked at each other, and after being quiet for a while, Duanmu Scarlet took the lead in laughing.

She looked at the worried eyes of Mu Jun and Ji Lanzhou at the upper end, and said comfortingly: "Sister, sister-in-law, there is no need to care about this kind of rumor at all. ”

As Duanmu Fei thought, there is no need to care about this kind of rumor.

There is no need for anyone to make a move, those Shilin literati were dissatisfied first, and jointly signed a letter, indicating that the Chu family uses poetry and books to pass on the family, Xuanguo Gong is high and bright, parallel and noble, and will never do such an unsightly witch thing, and ask the court to thoroughly investigate who is spreading rumors and causing trouble, intending to ruin the name of the Chu family for a hundred years.

During this period of time, there will be some commotion in the court from time to time, but compared to when the emperor was in a coma, the court is much calmer.

After Jun Ran led the 3,000 Shenshu battalion first, on August 22, the 30,000 forbidden troops behind also set off for the northern border.

Duanmu Xian had been preparing for a war with the northern border for a long time, even if the treasury was still empty, he had scraped together so much time, and finally managed to make up some of it, and finally did not delay the food, grass and military supplies.

In fact, there are quite a few lords and factions in the court, but under the pressure of Cen Yin's resolute and resolute actions, they only dare to condemn Cen Yin in secret, and no one dares to stand up and be the first bird, for fear of becoming the target of Cen Yin's prestige and falling to the fate of Lin Yingtong and Zhang Zishu.

As a result of no one making a sound, the court fell into an eerie silence.

Everyone was watching, praying to God and worshiping Buddha, hoping that the unconscious emperor would suddenly get up one day, see what Cen Yin had done, and cure Cen Yin's sins.

One day, two days, three days...... However, the miracle obviously did not happen, the emperor was still seriously ill in the Palace of Nourishing Heart, and the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital were also "under house arrest" in the palace, and the officials had nowhere to inquire about the emperor's condition, at most they could only go to the Cheng'en Mansion to inquire about the queen's tone.

After several days of silence, the atmosphere in Beijing became more and more depressing, with a sense of urgency that was about to come...... Until this day, the queen suddenly gave the girls of several families in Beijing a flower viewing post.

Duanmu Mansion is the first auxiliary mansion, and of course, the flower viewing post did not miss the Duanmu Mansion.

Duanmujun pinched a big red gilded post, and looked at Duanmuxian inexplicably, "Grandfather, isn't the emperor seriously ill?" "How can the queen still have time to enjoy the flowers?

Duanmu Xian's expression was calm, his heart was like a mirror, he was the eldest grandson woman who was smart, but he had always been completely indifferent to those court disputes and imperial power struggles.

"Sister Jun, where is the queen to enjoy the flowers, she wants to choose a concubine for the four princes." Duanmu Xian explained her confusion.
