Early Spring in Gangnam (XII) (Part I)

Neither grandparent nor grandchild is a long-winded person, so they get straight to the point.

"I've heard that you've been to the Zhou family's house a few times recently, and you've had people transfer old files." Yu Zhenxiang asked solemnly.

"Yes, although the Zhou family's case was falsely accused and misjudged on the surface, the hands and feet in the middle were well concealed, and the initiator has not been found until now."

Yu Zhenxiang sighed deeply: "Brother Mu Nan's case is indeed a scar in the heart of the Queen Mother. There were a lot of things that happened back then, and because your grandmother was seriously ill during that time, I didn't take care of the help and put everything down. A lot of things and information are missing, and it is not easy to find clues after being covered up. You're right now with the Prince, and there's a lot of people staring at you. It is not advisable to meddle in these old matters. Although the Zhou family is friendly with us, Brother Mu Nan is too upright, and the children and grandchildren who have taught him are a little stubborn, and I don't know what they are involved in. If it involves something you shouldn't know, it's not good for you. ”

"My grandson doesn't care about this, I just want to know what I really think, and the Queen Mother has always entrusted her grandson to find out the truth." Although this is the Queen Mother's confession, if he sees the relevant things, he can check it, but it has never been so solemn as now.

"Why should you? It's better for you to resign from the prince's staff and return to Jiangnan, although the jade gate is complicated, but it is free, and it doesn't need to be so complicated in the capital. If you can't speak, I'll write directly to Chen Mural. Some of their Chen family and Tang family are children, so they don't necessarily have to hold on to you. ”

"I'll talk about this later, it's the case of the Zhou family, my grandson really wants to restore the truth, and I hope that if my grandfather finds something, he will try to tell his grandson what he knows."

"I really don't want to take care of his family's affairs, your mother and his daughter-in-law were handkerchiefs, and the two of them talked about everything. Your mother treats her with all her heart. I did my best to think about what she said. But after your mother got to know your father, your grandmother went to Yan in private, hoping that she would dissuade your mother from coming to you, but instead of persuading your mother to turn back, she encouraged her. I think your mother is the eldest lady of Yumen, there are all kinds of candidates, not to mention the Jiangnan family, even the prince and grandson are also qualified to marry, but she wants to marry your father. How can a flat wife be compared with a wife hired by three media and six hires. If she hadn't married Tang Lan, if Tang Lan hadn't been careful to protect her, if she hadn't gotten close to the Yan family, she might not have had an accident. That Yan is also a bewitching person, and she has charmed countless men in Jiangnan before marriage, and your mother doesn't know how many squirting children and people who have thoughts of wrongdoing have helped her. She is a troublemaker, and she has no ability to protect herself, marrying into the Zhou family, the Zhou family has been literati for generations, how can she shelter her. It sounds good to say that it is a big family, but it is a group of scholars who are powerless, although Brother Mu Nan is a classmate with me, except for the subset of poetry and books and medical skills, he has never been interested in martial arts, and the children of the Zhou family also learned from his grandfather, a bunch of weak scholars. If the official position is extremely high, no one dares to make a move, but they are not good at dealing with people in the officialdom, and they are too lonely, even if they are the queen mother, they have no intention of taking refuge. Although there are many disciples all over the Great Zhou, when something really happens, these disciples will be scattered. Originally, the Zhou family's medical skills aroused people's jealousy, and there was such a daughter-in-law who provoked right and wrong, and it was difficult for people not to be targeted. It's really a red face. When that woman is in trouble, your mother is the one who takes care of it. We haven't found out the truth until your mother was killed, and it's hard to guarantee that it wasn't because of Yan that she offended people and hurt herself. ”

Xinjie was a little surprised, although he didn't have much time to see his grandfather, he thought that he knew the old man, and it was only today that he knew for the first time that he had such a grudge against both the Yan family and his father. He once thought that although his grandfather was born in Yumen, Yumen also paid attention to chivalry, and should have the heart of helping the poor and the weak, but people's hearts are estimated to be the same. When it comes to blood relatives, the way of thinking is completely different.

"I don't want you to take care of the affairs of the Zhou family and the Yan family. At the beginning, your grandmother and I were so angry with the Yan family. ”

"Maybe she's just supporting her friend to be true to her heart, not necessarily supporting my father."

"That's not right, since Tang Lan has a wife, she shouldn't miss your mother anymore. He doesn't deserve it, he doesn't have that qualification, let alone make your mother subordinate to that stupid and ignorant woman. He didn't protect your mother, and he didn't protect you. ”

The head of the jade family is very calm and rational in helping and big things, but when it comes to the daughter he holds in the palm of his hand, he loses his stability and is as excited as an ordinary father.

"The woman of the Yan family is a disaster, relying on herself to be able to play the piano and dance, I don't know how to converge, the lives of dozens of people in the Zhou family and the Yan family may be implicated by her too sharp edge. Although Brother Mu Nan is a generation of Confucianism, he can't figure out some things, if he doesn't stick with the first emperor and sit firmly in the position of the crown prince and concubine, who dares to touch him easily, how can he be destroyed because someone falsely accuses his son of leaking military aircraft. If he is in a high position, how can the other party succeed. Since you don't want to cling to the emperor's relatives and relatives, you should be a low-key person, but you have to marry your son to a so-called first talented woman in the south of the Yangtze River. provoked a bunch of people Xiao Xiang. He also said that it was to fulfill the hearts of his son and daughter-in-law, so that lovers would eventually become married. These flashy excuses are harmful. is just a nerd, I don't know that time is sinister, if he doesn't marry his son like a Yan family, how can someone covet her beauty and add fuel to the fire?! ”

Xinjie blinked, looking at his grandfather complaining about the Zhou family's grandfather, how did it sound like he had the feeling that his relatives hated iron but not steel. Maybe the friendship of classmates when I was a child still exists like family affection.

"It's like a piece of good meat in a big restaurant, and the guests know it's a good thing, but they don't dare to grab it, and they know that they have to pay for it properly. If you put it in a bowl called Hanako on the street, not only people will come to grab it, but even dogs will come to fight for it. The girl of the Yan family is too bright and glamorous, too provocative. ”

"Grandpa, do you know anything? Who covets Gan's beauty? ”

Yu Zhenxiang knew that he had slipped his mouth: "No one, it's just a guess on my part." Anyway, you don't have to check the affairs of the Zhou family and the Yan family anymore. It's useless to find out. ”

"After all, the Zhou family is your and grandmother's classmates and friends, don't you want to know the truth?"

"Do you know what? Could it be that after so many years, you still want to avenge them? When everyone is dead, what's the use of finding out? Chen mural asked you to check, just to be worthy of her own conscience. But you are the one who made the shot, and it is inevitable that the people behind it will be jealous of you. Why should you? We are not uncommon to have that official position in the imperial court. The prince's staff, how much money can you earn? ”

"I want to check, but it's not entirely because of the Queen Mother's orders. Have you ever thought that the Chen family, the Tang family, the Zhou family and the Yumen family are closely related. In the eyes of outsiders, these families are one. Someone dares to attack the Zhou family and the Yan family, wouldn't there be the same people who will attack the Yumen? Didn't you think about taking precautions? ”

"Naturally, I thought that your grandmother was very ill back then, and I had no time to take care of it. But after the incident, I was also afraid of the Yumen involved, so I carefully investigated. Although I haven't fully found out the whole truth, I can be sure that some of the reasons are more or less because of the Yan family. Your mother may have been implicated by her in her early years. If it weren't for her, your mother might not have been so wild-minded and liked to go out and about. It was also that woman who taught your mother too many things in the wind and snow, if she only practiced martial arts in Yumen and managed the affairs of Yumen, she would not have so many ideas, and she would not be so easily deceived by Tang Lan's kid. ”

"That woman is a scourge. harmed Yanyan and harmed the Zhou family. ”

Xinjie wanted to speak and stopped, his grandfather's current mentality, it is estimated that he will not accept Lian'er. He didn't want to argue with him much now. It seems that his marriage with Lian'er is not so easy to accept with his grandfather, and it is better for him to cut it first and then play it. Thinking about it, he changed the subject: "What is the matter with your old man looking for me?" ”

"You're going to Beijing in a few days, and I've got a couple of things to tell you. Actually, I've already said one thing before. Although I haven't been in Yumen for the past few years, this is going to be handed over to you sooner or later, and I'm not in a hurry to let you come back, I also want you to experience and experience outside, and it's easier to calm those old guys when you come back after making a reputation outside. So the affairs of the court don't have to be so desperate, we are not rare. Of course, if you have a good position in the imperial court, this jade gate can also be yours, and it is nothing to take care of both sides. I just have you as a child, I just hope you are all safe, don't try too hard. ”

"Your old man has said this many times."

"Well, I'll not say much if you're impatient. Say something else, you're already the oldest, it's time to get married. I know that Chen Biyan has recruited you an orphan girl from her son-in-law's family. But it's good to be a concubine, the people of the Bai family are white-eyed wolves, and they can't be the main room. The main room still wants everyone to be beautiful, the Tang family doesn't care, and the grandfather will take care of it for you. ”

"Grandpa, no, you don't know Lian'er, I..."

"You don't need to say much about it, I know it." Yu Zhenxiang cut him off categorically. He thought that young people were all fresh for a while, and now he said that he would not listen, and when the time came, it would be better to send the woman to him. Now talking too much hurts the harmony of the ancestors and grandchildren, so I quickly changed the topic:

"You know about the Big River Gang, in addition to robbing us of business on land, they and we have Cao Shipping Tickets, but in the past few years, they have done too much private goods and people, not only robbing us of many waterways, boats and people, but also breaking the rules on this river. I know you've had a grudge against them for a long time, and recently cleaned them up once, I originally wanted to do it, but every time they took the lead, apparently someone in the Jade Gate revealed information to them. I'm going to do it again, but they're ghosts in the Jade Gate, and I still need your hand to help me find out. ”
