Old Things in Jiangnan (Part II)

Wan Ning was so smart, she saw her husband's careful thoughts, and thought that she might be about to be separated from him, so she softened her heart and indulged: "I have been in this palace since I was a child, I thought that I would spend my life in this cold world like those old palace maids, I didn't expect that I would get married, and there would be a husband like you." ”

"A husband who loves you very much." Xinjie hurriedly said.

"I'm not the same person I used to be." He knew that Yihe's matter was still a great shadow in her heart.

"It's all gone, and it's not your fault. And it doesn't affect my feelings for you. You have to believe that my feelings for you have not changed from beginning to end. ”

"How long will it last? One year or two years? ”

"The promise I gave you at the beginning is for life."

"It's been too long in my life, and I don't have that luxury. Even now, what people say or do will make you suspicious of me. He knew that she didn't let go of his mistakes in Ah Yilan's matter so easily. But she had just allowed him to be as close as he wanted. He began to feel that he had been a little unable to touch her heart lately, and that he was a little panicked.

"I knew it was my fault, it was just a surprise. She was such a person, and it was expected that she would say vicious things and cruel things, but she didn't expect that such a simple person would make up stories and tell nonsense, and cry so badly as if it were real. ”

Wan Ning could only sigh: "If you don't have her in your heart, without her preconceived innocence, how can you believe it." ”

"I was touched by her innocence when I was recuperating in Youtong Village before, but that was also a moment of loss. At that time, I was alone and floating outside, and I had no emotional sustenance. Occasionally, there are times when I get lost. But I don't have the desire to have it forever. Since I've been with you, it's been completely different, and I want to be with you all the time. ”

Lian'er turned around and hugged him tightly: "Okay, let's not talk about that, since we are still together, let's cherish the time together." Who knows what tomorrow will bring. ”

Who knows what tomorrow will bring? Is this what she fears? Is it the outside world or is there no faith in him? He didn't know what to say, so he could only hold her tightly. To her heart, to her person, he used to be so confident, when did he start to lose his certainty?

"Anyway, thank you for giving me the opportunity to get out of this cold palace, to let me have my own home, and for letting me know that life can be so different." She is truly grateful that the changes in her life have allowed her to appreciate a different life. Even if she can't hold hands for a lifetime, she has had a better experience than ordinary people, and she should be content.

"We have a good home, don't we?"

"Really? Third Young Master? I am so demanding of you, I don't allow you to have three wives and four concubines, and the loss is huge, do you still think it's good? ”

"I said that you have to make up for the loss."

"No, you're just fine."

"I'm measured."

Five days later, at noon, the people of Pingluan Pavilion suddenly raided many mansions of high-ranking officials and wealthy merchants in the city and many farms outside the city for the crime of treason. In the end, in a dilapidated village ancestral hall outside the north city, the real Qi Feng Qi who was kidnapped and kidnapped was rescued. At this time, the people in the capital knew that it was not Lord Qi who was caught a few days ago, but his brother. And his brother has done a lot of evil things behind Lord Qi's back with the same face as him over the years. even took the risk of his name, colluded with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Marquis of Yuguo to exchange the princess, and let his grandson enter the imperial city, in an attempt to confuse the royal bloodline. And this little thief lurking in the royal family actually remembered the third young grandmother of the Tang family, and was recognized by the third young grandmother, so he took him down. Of course, in these discussions, there are also a small number of voices, saying that the third young grandmother of the Tang family and this little thief have already turned Tang Sanshao green and black in private. The people in the capital chatted about these gossips after tea and dinner. In the capital where I am robbed of your singing, there are all kinds of rumors flying all over the sky every day. In this lively and eventful season, a boat rented by a pawnshop in the capital quietly left the waterway dock of the capital and headed for the south of the Yangtze River. It is said that the guests on the ship are the dead goods, and most of them are related to the dignitaries and nobles in Beijing. In order to sell it for a good price, the pawnshop planned to ship it to Jiangnan, where their boss had a consignment shop and sold it to the wealthy merchants in Jiangnan who were envious of the royal palace aristocracy. There are too many things from the royal family or the high-ranking families, and there are too many in the capital, and the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River can be sold at a better price.

At noon on the turbulent day in the capital, in the Chunhui Palace, the Queen Mother and the Prince summoned Qi Feng, and then issued an edict to accuse him of not disciplining his family strictly, causing his family to run rampant in the village, preying on the common people, and making him think about it behind closed doors at home. And his brother Qi Xian, who was used by traitors, secretly possessed weapons, colluded with foreign countries, and was imprisoned for another investigation. The prince Yihe, misbehaved, accepted adulterers in the palace, raised and made forbidden things without authorization, did not abide by the royal system, privately befriended foreign ministers, fornicated with foreign countries, and was sentenced to imprisonment. His original mansion was too luxurious and extravagant, which was not conducive to his reflection and reflection, so he was specially ordered to move to a certain mansion in western Beijing, and was forbidden by building a high wall. His wives and concubines are allowed to go to the same place. The royal family could not claim that in the past 30 years, the royal family had adopted a son by mistake, and could only find some existing charges to imprison him. I was afraid that the original government organs in the house would be escaped by it, so I naturally sent another mansion to captivity.

Since Yihe is still alive and allowed his family to live with him, Ah Yilan has rightfully returned to Yihe. Although she cried, the emperor's order was like this, and it was the Yihe she chose back then, so she couldn't blame others. Originally, according to the regulations, she could be further investigated for poison, but at the time of the discussion, for her disposal, almost everyone except Xinjie looked at Wanning. The hearts of those who loved her were heartbroken by what she had done. But she knew that the weakness in her husband's heart did not really draw the superficially innocent person against her, and in her heart he still regretted her. For him, Wanning can't really make a move, but needs to be maintained.

For Yihe to raise poisons, the royal family did not pursue it, and was still able to save his life, and did not involve thousands of lives in Pubang Village. When Qu Li and Erda came to the capital a few days later, they were relieved to hear such an ending. The only regret is Ah Yilan, the two brothers felt that their sister was indeed too stubborn, and they wanted to seek the emperor's favor and take her back to the cottage, so as not to let her step into the world. But Xinye's words reminded them that Ah Yilan was deliberately framing the current queen mother who loved her granddaughter more than her granddaughter, and Tang San was less kind than Pubang Village, if he really let Dali Temple sentence, I am afraid that my life will be gone, where can I go back to the cottage. If she can really be brought back, with her character, can the two brothers really control her and ensure that she will not cause trouble to Pubangzhai again? At that time, if there is no sister-in-law of my family to ask the queen mother and the prince for mercy for her, will she really take thousands of lives for her ignorance? Only by admitting that it is Yi and her family, not only can she live a life, but also the people in the village will not take some risks for her. And she herself has already followed Yihe, and it is no longer possible to go back to the cottage to marry and have children, and she will be raised in captivity, and maybe there will be less trouble. It's just that Xinye didn't expect that soon after, Ah Yilan, who was imprisoned, would still be able to stir up trouble. Shinno really regrets not killing this scourge in the first place.

For the young lady's magnanimity, the Quli brothers are willing to repay the submission and drive of the Pubang people. Since then, there are thousands of people in the village, and they are only respected by the order of the young lady of the Tang family. A few years later, they were dispatched by the young lady to pursue the bandits in the mountains, and paid a lot of blood price, only to feel that they had repaid some of the favor of the prince and the young lady, which was still far from the disasters caused by Ah Yilan several times.

More than ten days later, the ship of the pawnshop in the capital finally arrived in Jiangnan. When the boxes of goods were removed from the ship, the second shopkeeper of Kyochu, who came with the ship, gathered his silver-gray cloak, followed everyone off the ship, and came to a group of cars waiting on the shore. Seeing the long-awaited Jiangnan pawn consignment shop, he nodded.

The big guy Long Qing saluted respectfully: "I've seen the second master." ”

The second shopkeeper waved his hand, did not speak, and went straight to the car, Long Qing also sat on the edge of the car respectfully, and went to Yiyang Villa on the edge of Hangzhou City.

Entering the villa, the second shopkeeper didn't speak, and walked all the way into the courtyard, and the entourage stopped at the gate of the inner courtyard, only Long Qing followed. Walking into the hall of the inner courtyard, he threw the cloak to Long Qing, who had followed her all the way, shook his head, put down a bunch of green silk, trembled, breathed a sigh of relief, took a sip of the tea prepared on the table, and then said softly: "Tell the big boss, since the old lord passed on the throne, our new lord has always said that she is only temporary." But now she has finally agreed to take over. After we finish this purge, she will officially set up the incense altar. ”

Long Qing looked up at her in surprise: "Hasn't the little master always been reluctant to set up the incense altar?" We thought that she had always only wanted to live with her husband and was unwilling to avenge her family, why did she suddenly figure it out? ”

Long Yu smiled slightly: "Maybe we misunderstood her." She's been through so much, it's normal for her mind to be deep. She may have doubted a lot, not only the people in the court and the harem, but she may even doubt me, so she has always refused to take over the throne. ”

Long Qing frowned: "Then how did she figure it out now?" ”

Long Yu poured herself another cup of tea: "Because she found out some truths, but not all." So she's going to do something about it, to communicate with each other further. ”

Long Qing was even more confused: "The other party? ”

Long Yu glanced at him: "Yes, the other party." No matter what the status of the other party is, but they are not our masters. Especially when their status is so high, they still let the main family overturn overnight, and it is normal for her to have concerns. ”

Long Qing snorted sarcastically: "She can't wait to marry herself, and people still give her so many rewards, what else does she have to wonder?" It's just fooling us. ”

Long Yu frowned slightly: "The little master is not that kind of person. The living environment around her is too complicated, and caution is a must. As she said last time she came to Jiangnan, she wants revenge and her life. ”
