Return to Capital (IIX) (Part II)

Lian'er and Lang Cheng smiled at each other, and Lang Cheng handed over the donation for the first quarter of this year, and the silver ticket from the revenue of the Leopard Building, the pass of Tianhe Yinzhuang was three million taels. Although the Leopard Tower suffered heavy losses this time, and the internal personnel were purged and transferred, which may affect part of the income in a short period of time, both Xinjie and Lian'er felt that they would rather transfer turnover from other businesses than miss the donation from Tsz Yun Temple. Although the old monk himself has become a lot of friends from other places over the years, there are so many sick and disabled orphans in the Tsz Yun Villa in the mountain behind the Tsz Yun Temple, and they have to eat for treatment, and this silver cannot be short for a day.

"Old monk, what the two masters of my family mean is that your money is kept for emergencies, after all, there are so many children, in case there is an accident. The master said, you can not do business elsewhere, but you must not have less money here. Lang Cheng said quickly.

Wujie looked at Lian'er lovingly: "When the donor returns from the calamity, he should learn to think about himself and reserve some just in case." "Although the little girl was not very old, she followed the Queen Mother in the palace, in addition to helping to take care of some affairs, most of the time was to practice medicine, and she also had the permission of the Queen Mother to study with Wujie for a few days. At that time, she said that if she was no longer in the palace in the future, she would go to the world to heal and save people. But the palace and the capital are all black holes, and the old cases of the year, the people who hold grudges are still there, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not have ideas. Seeing her both happy and worried about her, maybe I really shouldn't have come back.

"My niece knows." Lian'er was grateful. Wujie was once his father's sworn brother, and he was also the famous Tongtian Eye of the Great Zhou Criminal Department. While solving the case like a god, he was also hated by the enemy and killed his wife and daughter. In the unguarded anger, he made trouble in the capital and stabbed more than 20 enemies. Although there are extenuating circumstances, after all, it violated the laws of the Great Zhou. As a last resort, after many efforts and tens of thousands of people's letters, he was exempted from the death penalty and changed to a monk. Although he has been in the empty door for 20 years, Lian'er can still feel his kind of love as a father.

"How did you get mixed up with that kid's master?" As a monk, he had been struggling with whether to ask about this kind of private matter, but since the girl recognized him as an uncle, he was an elder, an elder of her mother's family, so he naturally had to ask.

"The grandmother of the Tang family said that she had informed my uncle at that time, and I was sent to Kansai. Xinjie returned home a few years ago, and the Tang family's grandmother made a decision. It's just that he was busy with affairs in the capital, and he didn't want me to stay in Kansai, so he followed him into Beijing. ”

Wujie's face suddenly darkened, who is he, seeing that she spoke so secretly, he understood as soon as he heard it: "That means that his Tang family has not officially married you?" ”

"There's been a lot of going on lately, and he's in a hurry to get into Beijing..."

"So what, you are the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, and if he wants to marry the Tang family, he must first ask my uncle, and then ask for our consent. How can you not be clear like this, and let his subordinates accompany you everywhere, calling you master, young lady, just want to fool your relatives like this? As he spoke, he glared at Lang Cheng fiercely.

"Uncle, although the case of the Zhou family was closed, there are many doubts, and the grandmother of the Tang family is afraid that someone will calculate me, and she is also afraid that people will find trouble. After all, it was recorded in the palace that I was dead, and if someone took it as a handle, it would be the crime of defrauding the king. My grandmother meant to let me go back to Beijing first, and then announce my identity after the Queen Mother corrected the matter. ”

"Then she can also wait for the Queen Mother to make a decree to correct her name, and then let you enter Beijing. You followed Xinjie so inexplicably, there have long been rumors in Beijing, which is detrimental to your reputation. If that kid doesn't fight anymore and finds another woman, or someone else forces him to be his son-in-law, won't you be in trouble? ”

Lang Cheng finally figured out the ins and outs of the situation stupidly, and immediately stepped forward: "Master, you don't know who my master is?" ”

"Of course I know, he is a famous playboy in the capital."

"Master, you have really wronged you."

"Whether you are wronged or not, you will know later." Wujie pretends to have a cold face.

"He ordered the entire Aoki Society to respect the young lady as the heroine long before he entered Beijing, but we did our best to protect it. The young lady can mobilize the manpower, material resources, and gold and silver finances of the Aoki Society. Lang Cheng said anxiously.

"Even if he still knows the severity. It's just that this will always bring you a bad reputation. ”

"Uncle, you are outside the square, haven't you seen through that reputation is just a tiring thing? What's more, the big event is about to start, and the grandmother of the Tang family is also afraid of too many variables, so she asked me to follow Xinjie back to support each other and take care of each other. Knowing the various crises he faced in the capital, the grandmother of the Tang family will also enter Beijing to help soon. Even if I don't come with him this time, I will come with my grandmother. When I came to the capital, the original problems still existed. It's just that way, I'm afraid there will be more difficult problems to solve. ”

"What question could be more important to your life than your reputation for chastity?"

"Compared with the reputation and the lifelong life of being a female official in the prince's mansion, which one does my uncle think is better for his niece?"

Wujie was stunned.

Although many years have passed, the grandmother of the Tang family has extrapolated conjectures from various news, and feels that the Queen Mother still has this intention. It's just that the uncle knows that his niece has always only regarded the crown prince as a member of the royal family, and he doesn't want to think about anything but it, and he doesn't want to be trapped in the palace and sink in various battles. ”

Wujie sighed and nodded: "If you need to, remember to come to your uncle." ”

Lian'er nodded: "When I came to my uncle today, I actually had something to ask for." ”

Wujie glanced at Lang Cheng, Lang Cheng had no intention of withdrawing, so he said with a straight face: "That kid has hands and eyes to the sky, what is there for you to ask to come to the old man for him." ”

Lian'er smiled: "This is really not for him, but for me, for the Zhou family." ”

As soon as Wujie heard Zhou's, his eyes instantly became solemn: "Back then, the old man couldn't do anything, if he can do anything about it now, the girl just spoke." ”

Lian'er glanced at Lang Cheng, and Lang Cheng immediately spoke: "The master recently found some traces of the year. Maybe this case is not only the reasons and things when the Queen Mother helped the plan later, but also some I don't know. The master is worried that if he doesn't dig it out, maybe there are still people who are unwilling to stir up trouble and will secretly calculate the young lady. ”

"And I also want to catch the real murderer and restore the truth, otherwise I'm sorry for so many people who died."

Wujie's eyes were deep: "What can the old man do for you?" "As long as he can help his brother's family restore the truth and catch the culprit, he can do whatever it takes.

"Two things, first of all, uncle don't tell others my identity for the time being, and second, ask uncle to send someone to monitor Sun Town day and night."

"You suspect Sunmachi? But he was also implicated in the first place to flee, if I hadn't gone to Baishui River to save him, I'm afraid he would have been gone a long time ago. And over the years, he has been in the temple and has already taken refuge in my Buddha. ”

"Uncle was also a master of the six doors at the beginning, and he should have seen a lot more tricks than his niece."

"You think he went to me on purpose? An old monk, what does he have to plan? ”

Lian'er looked at him and didn't speak for a while, Wujie frowned and thought, "Could it be that he is for..."

In the capital Kangning Marquis's Mansion, the old Kangning Marquis stood in the courtyard with a gloomy face, looking at the goldfish in the fish pond, a little distracted. He didn't even pay attention to the eldest son, Lan Banghua, when he walked in. Lan Banghua didn't dare to make a sound, and stood there silently until Old Kang Ninghou sighed, turned to the table next to him to get fish food, and didn't see him. Glancing at Lan Banghua, he didn't speak, but turned around to feed the fish.

"Father." Lan Banghua spoke awkwardly. Old Kangninghou still ignored him.

"Father," Lan Banghua bent his waist lower, "you..."

Old Kangninghou suddenly turned around, put the jar of fish food on the stone table, snorted, and went straight to his study.

Lan Banghua chased all the way in: "Father, father, you listen to me. ”

"Say what?" Kang Ninghou's voice was not high, and he was even a little indifferent: "The old man is old, what are you going to do, do it yourself, don't tell me." ”

"Father, you old man should understand my sister, she is very difficult in the palace."

"I understand that it's not easy to be a queen, especially if she has such a big heart, it's even more difficult."

"It's not that my sister has a big heart, it's that she has to protect herself and her son. If she doesn't have her own strength in hand, the palace and the former dynasty will be covered by the queen mother, and it will be difficult for Yi'er in the future. She did it all for the sake of righteousness. ”

"Do you have a brain of your own? She said that she was all for righteousness, and you believed it? ”

"Father, I know that you are grateful to the Queen Mother for saving your life back then, but kindness is kindness, and we can't stop planning for the future of Yi'er."

"Yi'er's future, if it is really for his future, you should work together with the Queen Mother to take care of the affairs of the court, instead of messing around below."

"Father, why don't you understand? Of course, we are doing this for the sake of Yi'er's future court. Now the Queen Mother covers the sky with one hand, and the Chen family and the Tang family are even more because of her instruction and protection, and their protégés and descendants occupy many important positions in the court. In the harem, it is even more necessary to look at the face of the queen mother. This world will be the world of Yi'er in the future, not the world of his Chen family and the Tang family. ”

"Why don't you say that you want to replace the Chen family and the Tang family? is consumed by his own interests, and he is still under such a high-sounding disguise. ”

"Father, what's wrong with that? Once a son of heaven and a courtier, the Chen family is the queen and the queen mother, and the protégés of the Chen family can abound in the six departments, and the Tang family occupies great power in the army. Now that my sister is the queen and will be the queen mother in the future, why can't our Lan family replace them? Back then, the Queen Mother had a life-saving grace for you, and her son would remember to provide for her in her old age, but it doesn't mean that we all have to serve the Chen family and the Tang Sect, so that the people of the Lan family can live lower than them. They should be looking up to us! ”

"They look up to us?! What do you have to say this? Just because you are the future uncle of the country? Since ancient times, there have been more uncles in wine bags and rice bags. ”
