Zhuangzi in the suburbs, Yan Qingge didn't make it in the end.

Last night, the snow was too bad, only half a night, the next morning, the wind blew, some places melted, some places froze into ice shells, the road out of Beijing was very difficult to walk.

Yan Qingge is now pregnant and double-bodyed, even if she is willing to go out of Beijing on such a road, it is impossible for the people of Yanwangfu to agree, because it is too dangerous.

Therefore, Lan Tong's brother was finally brought to the Yanwang Mansion to meet Yan Qingge.

This boy is twelve years old this year, and he has no resemblance to the Yan family. His previous father was a small businessman who opened a small store to do grain business, and after his father died, he was driven away by his uncle's family and his mother.

In the Yan family Zhuangzi, this kid is living a good life. Although it was written on the original deed that he was sold to the Yan family as a slave, he did not receive any difficulties, and even received a lot of care because of the identity of Lan Tong's brother.

This child has a very calm temperament, it seems that because he has experienced too many things, he is young, and he is quite mature when he looks at it.

He also followed his father's surname, surnamed Chen, and his name was Chen Yubao.

After asking Chen Yubao a few words, Yan Qingge probably confirmed that Lan Tong was not lying before, but because Lan Tong was too young, some things were still not very clear, and now those doubts have been solved by Chen Yubao.

Chen Yubao's mother's maiden name is Jiang, her family background is not very good, and the relationship between her relatives is quite simple, in addition to her cousin Wang Niangzi, there was also a cousin Wang Dacheng from other places who defected to them at that time.

Later, the city of Beijing was broken, and the Jiang family fled together, Wang Dacheng and Wang Niangzi were still righteous to the Jiang family, and when they were protecting the old and young of this family, Wang Dacheng's leg was broken.

Wang Dacheng still has a bit of brains, Lan Tong's mother Jiang has not rashly gone out to recognize the Yan family after the war, it was his idea.

Later, Yan Qingge was about to get married, Lan Tong's mother Jiang couldn't sit still anymore, and looked for it in person, after Wang Dacheng found out, he was furious and left by himself, and Chen Yubao didn't know what happened next. His last memory of his family's relatives was fixed on Wang Dacheng's departure, and only Jiang and Wang Niangzi were left.

Chen Yubao said very calmly, but Yan Qingge could hear the cool air from the tail bone upward.

Children sometimes can't understand these things, but adults can.

That Wang Dacheng definitely didn't simply leave in anger. Whether it was the Jiang family who secretly returned to the capital to work in the Second Prince's Mansion, or Wang Niangzi who went to Yanji Embroidery Village to work and finally committed suicide, there was a shadow of a person behind him.

Yan Qingge is eighty percent sure, that person should be Wang Dacheng.

As for why he didn't let the Jiang family go to the Yan family to confess his relatives before, it must be because he decided to keep this secret, which would be of greater use, and Jiang's private actions ruined his plan.

He is like a spider, lying in his own woven heart, manipulating Jiang and Wang Niangzi, who are used as bait, to hunt.

Yan Qingge looked at Chen Yubao's little face, and his heart tightened.

There are fewer and fewer people that Wang Dacheng can use, and next, I'm afraid it will be Lan Tong and Chen Yubao.

Yan Qingge had a plan in his heart, and raised his face to Chen Yubao with a smile: "You haven't seen your brother sometimes, it's the New Year soon, I'll take him here to live, don't go, the two brothers will reunite more." ”

Chen Yubao's face was full of surprise: "Niangniang, is this true?"

Yan Qingge smiled: "What did I lie to you about." ”

Danhe hurriedly said on the side: "Don't hurry up and thank you." ”

Chen Yubao kowtowed to Yan Qingge firmly, as if he was about to break the floor, and when a few maids pulled him up, the child's forehead was blue.

Yan Qingge instructed the maids to clean up the place where Lan Tong and Chen Yubao lived, and on the other hand, he called someone to pick up Lan Tong at Yan's house.

She temporarily remembered Aunt Caifeng's self-familiar appearance, and specially instructed: "Don't let Aunt Caifeng follow, just pick up Lan Tong." ”

Unexpectedly, in the evening, the people who came to kowtow to Yan Qingge were not only Lan Tong, but also Green Tong and Yan Hanqiu, as well as Aunt Caifeng, who was obviously told not to bring it, but still came.

Looking at Aunt Caifeng's low-eyed expression, Yan Qingge suddenly lost the strength to scold.

Yan Qingge looked at this string of people, and said strongly: "Go and clean up the room for the guests to live." ”

Aunt Caifeng was overjoyed, Yan Qingge's temper was not very good, she was ready to be kicked out, but she didn't expect to be stayed.

She is an interesting person, and she knows that she can't make any more requests to Yan Qingge now, so she hurriedly retired with a few children.

Yan Xiuyu went out today and didn't come back until midnight, and even if he changed into a new roasted and hot clothes, he still didn't dare to approach Yan Qingge's body immediately, and the two talked around the table.

Yan Qingge told Yan Xiuyu about Wang Dacheng.

Yan Xiuyu was taken aback: "No wonder the woman hanged herself at the door of Yan's house last time, I checked and checked, but I didn't find out who was behind it." I began to suspect that the second prince was acting by himself, and then I went to the fourth prince to start it, but I didn't find any clues, I really didn't expect that it was the handiwork of a little-known person. ”

Yan Qingge nodded: "Yes." Who would have thought that just asking two children would get so much news. That Wang Dacheng should not be a big person, leaving a lot of horses, but we just looked in the wrong direction before. What I'm curious about now is what his purpose is. ”

The husband and wife thought about it for a long time, but after all, they still couldn't understand what Wang Dacheng was doing.

When his body was finally completely warmed by the heat in the house, Yan Xiuyu stepped forward and hugged Yan Qingge: "Don't think too much, leave everything to me, now the important thing for you is to have a safe pregnancy." ”

Yan Qingge glanced at Yan Xiuyu with a smile: "Yes, I have a good baby, and I will have another one, you still don't like him like Wan'er, what's the use of me giving birth." ”

Yan Xiuyu's face was full of wrongs: "I'm very good with Wan'er now, I played the piano for her in the morning before I went out, did you forget?"

"I mean, you didn't like Wan'er before?"

"I haven't been a father before, maybe it's because I don't have the talent to be a father, and now it's slowly better." Yan Xiuyu interrupted, patted his head, and said, "Look at my memory, I brought you a good thing, and I almost forgot to take it out." ”

With that, he called out to the people who were waiting outside, and fetched what he had left in the saddle bag.

I saw that it was a flat long wooden box, Yan Qingge opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but sigh: "What a beautiful thing." ”

Inside the box, is a very beautiful necklace. Different from the collars and beads usually worn by women in the Great Zhou, this chain is made of left and right piles, which are densely strung with small rings made of gold, and at every finger distance, there is a huge gemstone, a sapphire that is gorgeously carved into a diamond shape, a cabochon black gem that exudes a mysterious luster, a crimson square ruby, and an oval white mysterious gem.

The rich colors, the regular shapes, and the exotic gold chain holders will tell that this thing is worth a lot of money when you look at it.

Yan Xiuyu said proudly: "It's very beautiful, it's also a coincidence, this thing was almost sent to me by someone else." I had a light lunch at the teahouse at noon, and a shopkeeper came to me in person, saying that there was a treasure from overseas and wanted to invite me to palm. Don't you just want to sell me something? I took it then, and it cost me only eight thousand taels of silver. ”

Yan Qing singer fiddled with this chain and bought it for eight thousand taels, but they took advantage of it.

Seeing that this thing really made Yan Qingge happy, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Yan Xiuyu's mouth. Taking gems to please Yan Qingge, or Ling Lie's idea for him, there were some people who sold things in the past, and they would take the initiative to find them, but most of them were beaten out by him, and they didn't want to see them.

The night gradually deepened, and Yan Qingge and Yan Xiuyu rested peacefully. Only the sky, the moon that was born timidly and outcrops after the snow, looked at the world, looked at the people who slept, and looked at the people who did not sleep.

In Chuxiu Palace, the prince has not slept yet.

Before the end of the year, there will always be an inexplicable increase in government affairs, and he has to correct the folds, which have been loaded with several baskets and placed on the table one by one.

Although his health is not very good, he never seems to know how to write the word tired.

After reading a fold, the prince suddenly stopped his pen and set his eyes on the eight-treasure grid used for decoration next to him, on the hollow eight-treasure grid shelf standing upright, and a small flat round box was placed in the most heartfelt position.

The prince seemed careless, and opened the box.

I saw that a few pieces of jewelry were placed in the sunspot.

There are rings and bracelets, and what they have in common is that they use brilliant gold as the base, and the gold is made of small gold rings that are densely packed and inlaid with large pieces of precious stones. Diamond-shaped brilliant sapphires, mysterious black gemstones, egg-shaped pigeon blood

They were surrounded and placed around the box, and in the most central part, there was a groove that was empty, and it looked like it was supposed to be a necklace.

The Prince's gaze brushed over the enchanting jewels and gently lowered them.

This set of jewelry was paid tribute by a small country overseas, and they are rich in jewelry, but this set of jewelry is also the best set that they have created with the strength of the whole country.

The smile on the corner of the prince's mouth gradually grew bigger.

He gently flipped through the fold pile, put one of the folds on his desk, and looked at it carefully.

This letter is about proposing to let the Great Zhou open the sea ban, and there are many reasons in it, and it is also quite tempting.

As for whether to open the sea ban or not, in the court, every few years, there will be several quarrels, and everyone has their own reasons.

But this time, the prince felt that the time had come.
