Chapter 341: The Yao Family
He didn't know what to do to get the palm bead back to before.
Chu Yuanzhen stopped talking, he sat silently with Zhangzhu, and after a long while, he said again: "Do you know Yao Lun?" ”
The eyelashes of the palm beads trembled slightly, and she finally raised her eyes to look at Chu Yuanzhen and asked, "What's wrong with this Yao Lun?" ”
"He is a witness in the Xie case, and it was he who came forward to testify that your father colluded with the Jin people and leaked the secrets of Da Chu to the Jin people."
Zhangzhu said angrily: "It's nonsense, how can he lie out of thin air." ”
She's going to get angry, she's going to get angry, and she's finally recovering a bit. Chu Yuanzhen's hanging heart gradually let go, and then said softly to the palm beads: "The dossier records the testimony of this person, do you know this person?" ”
"He was one of my father's lieutenants." Zhangzhu has also seen Yao Lun a few times with his own eyes, that person is tall and big, with a square face, and everyone he sees is smiling, Seventh Brother said that this person is a smiling tiger, and he is not soft at all when he kills people on the battlefield, he is his father's right-hand subordinate, and he is also the person who is promoted by his father, Yao Lun received his father's favor to get his due status, how did he come forward to testify against his father?
"It seems that your father was turned against by his subordinates, now I have to find Yao Lun and ask him to see if he is lying."
"I remember that he was from Xunyang, and he didn't know if he was alive all these years." At the beginning, she wrote a list for Li Feng'an to show and asked him to find out familiar people from it, Yao Lun's name was also among them, but Li Feng'an didn't know much about this person, perhaps because Yao Lun was a Datong person, and he was not familiar with anything outside the capital.
"I want to go to Xunyang." Zhangzhu wants to find Yao Lun, and she has to ask him face to face why he is lying to his father.
"You want to leave Beijing?" Chu Yuanzhen didn't agree much.
"yes, I want to see him."
"You don't need to come forward in person, find someone to go to Xunyang to inquire, bring Yao Lun into the capital, and you will see him again."
How long will it take? Zhangzhu couldn't sit still, after Ruolan's matter came out, she was low for a few days, but she knew that she couldn't be so low anymore, she had to find something to do for herself, so she insisted again and again.
Yuan Zhen had no choice but to say: "If you really want to go, then I will still let Liao Kai escort you back and forth, and I will rest assured to bring him." ”
"Okay, I'll leave tomorrow. When I turned around, my eldest cousin asked, and asked you to explain it for me. ”
Won-jeong agreed. Zhangzhu finally came out of the haze of losing Ruolan, and Yuanzhen was also relieved, asking her to do something and stop thinking nonsense, which may be the right thing to do.
Then he went back to the house to find Liao Kai and gave instructions, and the next morning, Liao Kai escorted Zhangzhu out of Beijing.
Chu Yuanzhen said to him like this at Du Yunxu: "Zhangzhu provoked the people of the Xun family, in order not to let other troubles come to the door, so I made the decision to let her go out to avoid it." We ask for your forgiveness that we have not discussed this matter in advance. ”
"Jinshi, what are you hiding from me?" Du Yunxu's sense of smell was very keen, and he quickly sensed that Chu Yuanzhen was perfunctory to him.
"Brother Du, you may understand in the future. Whatever she does, please forgive her, there are some things she has to do. ”
Du Yunxu said: "I don't understand what you say. What is it about her to be an orphan girl? As her maternal grandfather, is it so untrustworthy, I am still her eldest cousin, she doesn't say anything, and she hides it from me everywhere? ”
Chu Yuanzhen racked her brains to explain for Zhangzhu, only hoping that Du Yunxu could believe them and support them.
And said that Zhangzhu out of Beijing, all the way to Xunyang, it is also a hard thing to rush on a hot day, on the way encountered a few rainstorms to block the road, once the carriage almost fell into the valley, fortunately her life is not much trouble. When I arrived in Xunyang, it was already the beginning of July.
The Yao family is a big family in Xunyang, and as soon as she inquired a little in Xunyang City, she had a way.
"Their family lives in Meihua Lane behind West Street, and that alley is theirs, you can find out when you go in and ask."
It didn't take much effort for Zhangzhu to find the Yao family. The old man who came to open the door was an old man, and the old man looked at the people outside the door and didn't know anyone, and he wondered, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Zhangzhu lifted the curtain and got out of the car, and asked directly: "Is this Yao Lun's house?" ”
"You want to see our fourth master?" The old man looked surprised.
Zhangzhu nodded in agreement, and then said: "I am the daughter of his deceased, I want to visit him, please be accommodating." ”
The old man was a little hesitant, and just as a housekeeper's daughter-in-law came over and asked, "What's going on outside?" ”
The old man and the housekeeper's daughter-in-law said, "This girl said that she wanted to see the fourth master. ”
The housekeeper's daughter-in-law watched them back and forth a few times, and then said, "I'll go and tell Madame and let Madame decide." ”
Zhangzhu she had patience to wait, and it didn't take long for the housekeeper's daughter-in-law to come back and say to Zhangzhu: "Madame, please come over." ”
was allowed to enter, Zhangzhu immediately followed the daughter-in-law in charge, the Yao family's mansion is really big, it seems that it is indeed a wealthy family in the local area. Yao Lun was just a deputy general of his father and bought such a large property, which made Zhangzhu wonder for a while, and she couldn't help but ask the daughter-in-law in charge: "Does the Yao family do business?" There are so many houses to repair. ”
The housekeeper's daughter-in-law laughed when she heard this: "Of course our Yao family does business, and we also have our own kiln, and we have also fired porcelain for the palace, and now we are mainly engaged in maritime business, and the business in the palace can no longer be taken care of." Why do you say there are so many houses, it is because the Yao family has a large population, and now there are six people here, and there are more than 40 people in total. ”
More than 40 people live in an alley, which is not too spacious if you don't count the servants.
But none of this is important, the important thing is that Zhangzhu wants to see Yao Lun to ask about the year.
The housekeeper's daughter-in-law took her to a courtyard and told her to wait on the porch first, and the maid went in to pass in. Looking at the palm beads, there are a few plantain plants in the yard, and the banana leaves are lush and grow taller than the house.
Soon, the palm beads were allowed in.
She followed her into the house, and saw a lady in her forties sitting above, wearing a silver bun and a hairpin with a hairpin on her head. Dressed in a Buddha blue summer shirt, his face is quiet.
She had some impressions of this woman, when her grandmother was 60th birthday, she went to the capital to celebrate her grandmother's birthday, and this woman was Yao Lun's wife.
When we saw this lady again, she no longer recognized the palm beads, but she remembered them very clearly.
"You're Vice General Yao's wife, right? May I ask where Vice General Yao is, I have something to ask him for. ”
The lady asked gently, "Who are you, where are you from, and what are you doing when you see our master?" ”
Zhangzhu paused and said: "I came from the capital, I came to see Vice General Yao and ask him a little about the past, this matter is a confidential matter, it is inconvenient to say it here, I must see him in person." ”
Madame looked at the palm beads a little puzzled, and a woman standing next to her whispered a few words in Madame's ear: "Isn't it the wild seed that the old man left outside back then, and now he comes to recognize his relatives?" ”
