The Inheritance of the Jade Gate (II)

Secondly, with Xinjie's special status, he didn't need Yumen to come forward, and the Baicaotang, Baihuatang, and Aoki Society of Tangmen were all forces available for him to deploy, and the reason why he transferred all Gyeonggi Province to Xinjie was not so much to send people to help him solve the problem, but to allow him to take control of Yumen in Gyeonggi Province in the hands of his grandparents when needed.

Again, this old man thinks the matter is complicated and the stakes are high. With Xinjie's many years of experience in the rivers and lakes, he still worries and advises him earnestly, which can be seen in general. However, he only saw the crisis of Yumen, and did not think that these things might only be a small part of the overall situation, and Yumen was just a very small bargaining chip in many affairs.

Of course, in the end, there is his old man's attitude towards Lian'er, which is still like talking about an outsider, and has no sign of acceptance, only hoping that Xinjie will return early, without mentioning Lian'er. And he has regarded Jiangnan Yumen as the destination of Xinjie, rather than the capital, where his wife is located.

In this season when the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, Lian'er decided to be open and honest with her husband and talk about all her worries and worries, so that they can work together to defend each other. So she starts with the simplest, most important part.

"It seems that your grandfather still treats me as an outsider."

"Lian'er, I'm sorry, you should know my mind. But Grandpa doesn't know you, maybe some preconceptions are possible, give me some time. So saying, he came and took his wife's hand. She closed her eyes and didn't speak, she had been given more than two months. But this is not the time to pursue such details.

"Applejack, I don't mean that, I can understand him, but I have to bring the facts up, because the more we are in a moment of crisis, the more we can't have any suspicion between the two of us, so that we don't give people an opportunity to take advantage of it. I want you to know that no matter what happens in the future, as long as Applejack has me in her heart and my Applejack loves me, I'll be enough. ”

"Lian'er."

"You listen to me, what I'm going to ask is not because of suspicion, but because I want to find out the potential danger. Applejack, tell me the truth, does your grandfather mean to let you take over the Jade Gate? And is my presence in the way of his plans? Or let me put it another way, if it weren't for me, and you don't have a wife now, would your marriage be a major factor in your smooth takeover of Yumen? In the Jade Gate or a related party, there is a strong desire to arrange the role of this young lady of the Jade Gate? ”

He didn't answer right away, but the look in his eyes told her that the question she was asking was actually the truth.

"People in Gyeonggi Province, can your grandfather fully trust, or is he suspicious, why is the letter so short and the person who sent it so important? Yuqiang, in fact, is the head of Yumen in the entire Gyeonggi Province, but he is not in charge of daily business chores, but the deacon of major matters such as emergency handling within Yumen, ranking one of the three major deacons in Yumen, and the youngest deacon in Yumen, who coordinates Yumen's external intelligence, defense and attack. He often travels between Gangnam and Gyeonggi, mainly because it is the foot of the Son of Heaven, where there are many people and where information is concentrated. In a sense, he was one of your grandfather's most important arms. And for the sake of convenience, he has been very hidden all these years, rarely appears in front of people openly, and there are not many people who know Yuqiang in the outside world, so let such an important person send such a short letter, in addition to the letter itself, It is also to tell you that his actions in Gyeonggi are under your orders, and at the same time, there are some things to say to you in person? ”

"How do you know about Yuqiang?" As the person in charge of Baihuatang, he was not surprised by some letters, let alone related to him, but he still asked, he subconsciously wanted to know how much his wife cared about him.

"Husband," Lian'er put her arms around his waist, "whether your grandfather accepts me or not, but I am your person." As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, people dare to touch me, this matter must be related to Yumen, I can't help but do my homework to prepare, Our sisters in Baihuatang are very effective. And with the ancient and simple setting of the jade gate, it really can't get into my eyes. The sisters we have recently planted in Gyeonggi Province are much more clever than those in Yumen. It seems that his old man should be replaced by a group of capable subordinates. What Lian'er didn't say later, in fact, the plans of Yumen and Yuda, the arrangements for her husband's marriage, if she wanted to know, it would be easy for her, but as a husband and wife, she would rather believe that he would be honest with her than play tricks with each other to investigate.

"Hahaha, my grandfather has always wanted a daughter-in-law who can have enough experience in the rivers and lakes to assist me. He always thinks that you are a victim of a palace struggle, weak and helpless, and attached to the Tang Sect, I really hope that one day he can hear what you just said, and let him know that my Lian'er is a clever military advisor. Actually, you guessed it right, although I am the grandson of my maternal grandfather, but my surname is Tang, so there is a voice in Yumen that supports my cousin Yu Longyu to take over as the big boss. Liu Xinchen, one of the three major deacons, was his supporter, as were some elders. Therefore, my grandfather wanted me to marry Fu Dalong, the daughter of another archdeacon, Fu Xinshu. ”

Wan Ning raised her eyebrows: "Oh, what kind of character is this rich lady?" ”

Xinjie shook his head: "I don't know, really, I haven't seen her, she usually lives with her mother in her mother's maiden house, helping to take care of her grandfather, even my grandfather rarely sees her, but during the major solar terms, she may have seen her from afar." The marriage was proposed by Fu Dalong, and for him, it didn't matter who his daughter married, the key was to marry the future receiver of Yumen. I didn't have the intention of being the future leader, and I asked my grandfather to consider passing it on to Longyu, after all, he is also a close relative of the Yu family, and for me, Lian'er is the most important thing to me in this world.

But his grandfather was very persistent, he said that he was not because of blood relationship, but because he felt that Longyu was a person who thought highly of himself and had great ambitions and talents. Yumen has been established by the ancestors for a hundred years, although the power in Jiangnan is strong, but now it is full of crises, and he is afraid that Longyu will not be able to control the situation at that time. I also mentioned to him that Longyu would inherit him, and I would naturally help him when something happened, but my grandfather felt that Longyu was not a person who could listen to people's advice. Although Liu Xinchen supports him now, Liu Xinchen is also planning for his future, but he can't control Longyu, Longyu is only using him now, and he may not listen to him in the future, so the situation may be more dangerous.

Lian'er, I know, I have wronged you during this time, but I am also very embarrassed, he is my grandfather after all, after my grandmother died, I am his only blood relative in the world, I can't help but share his worries, I obey his arrangement, and follow him to familiarize myself with various affairs in the Jade Gate. But you have to believe in my heart... ... That sad look made Lian'er's heart tremble, and she quickly kissed him lightly on the lips.

"I know, third brother, Lian'er understands, third brother loves me." He lowered his head to kiss her, but she blocked it with her hand, and said with a smile, "Don't spoil the rouge on my lips." ”

He forcibly took her hand away, "I'll make it up to you later." ”...

It took a long time for them to separate, "Lian'er, remember what you promised me, no matter what happens, don't leave me alone. Give me some time, and I'll get these things done. ”

Wan Ning nodded slightly, and then asked, "Well, who is Yushu?" ”

He was surprised, "Why would you think to ask her?"

"I just don't think she's like an ordinary servant."

"She is the niece of Fu Dalong's wife's mother's family, that is, Fu Xinshu's cousin."

"Oh?! Then her original surname was Yu? ”

"I don't know about this, but when my grandmother was alive, Fu Dalong said that her parents had passed away, and her family was originally poor and had no livelihood, so he sent her to work in my grandmother's house. When I went to Jiangnan, she and Yuping took care of my daily life. Why did you suddenly ask about her? ”

"So she's coming to see your cousin-in-law on behalf of her cousin, what do I say?! Xinshu, Jade Book, interesting. Wan Ning frowned slightly.

"What are you thinking?"

"Nothing, just thought the sisters were interesting. What else does Yuqiang have to tell you? ”

"I can't hide it from you, I'm starting to be a little scared of you, hahaha. In the past few years, some people have been helping officials in southern Zhejiang, Henan, and Suzhou to make black money through some business names in Yumen. This is not allowed by the Jade Gate. Originally, my grandfather thought it was just a separate event, but then it turned out that the amount of money was huge, and although it was scattered all over the place, it seemed to be connected to each other in some way. Yuqiang has been looking into this matter recently, and recently found out that the people who may be the chief dispatcher are all on the Gyeonggi side. When something happened to you on our side, my grandfather told him to tell me that he might have to be prepared to fight these people, maybe different people, but maybe the same people. ”

"It seems that someone really has a crush on Yumen, and it's not just a competition between you and Longyu."

"Lian'er, it's a pity that grandpa didn't see you. And when we're done here, let's go see his old man's house. ”

Lian'er smiled and didn't answer. "Does Longyu know about this? Or does he know someone is looking into it? ”

"I don't know, only my grandfather, Yuqiang and I know. Hush....... Someone went into the yard. "His martial arts are outstanding, and his hearing is outstanding." Go sit down, I'll help you fix the rouge on your lips. ”

So he took his wife to the dresser, sat down on the stool himself, sat her on his lap, and began to draw earnestly. "What did you add to this rouge today, it doesn't taste like usual."
