Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Good Calculation
The old lady was still hesitating, and then heard Xu Shuyuan say: "Grandmother, how many people are staring at our Yu Mansion after Wenyi sits on the Shangshu?" Now that Princess Ling lives in the house again, if she sees Princess Ling going out alone with her second uncle, wouldn't she want to gossip? What I'm afraid of is that the queen listened to the villain's words, thinking that what happened to our Yu Mansion Princess Ling. The reputation of our Yu Mansion is not worth mentioning in front of Princess Ling's reputation at all, if the palace blames it......"
Chen Song smiled and glanced at her tacitly. "Grandmother, anyway, Princess Ling lives in our Yu Mansion, and she will come back in a while. When the time comes, we just meet, and Princess Suzu won't be able to separate us again, right? ”
Hearing this, the old lady no longer hesitated, "You can leave half an hour after they leave the house, you don't need to deliberately meet, just ask people to watch carefully." ”
Xu Shuyuan answered, glanced at Chen Song next to him, and said that he would go down first to prepare and retreat. Chen Song accompanied Mrs. Yu and cleverly diverted the topic to another place. The old lady was able to talk to him for a few words at first, but then she lost her patience and simply said it directly.
"After you go out, remember to help me keep an eye on Yu Chong, he hasn't been out in the house for so many years, I'm worried that something will happen to him."
Chen Song nodded in response, and was smart not to break it. The old lady was still relieved, and she didn't want to tell him too much, so she let him go back after a few casual words.
Princess Ling ran back to the small courtyard in a hurry, and wanted to pull Yu Chong's hand affectionately. Yu Chong got out of the way without a trace, but Qing'an asked about the result anxiously.
"This princess is out of the house, what reason does she have to dare to lock Brother Chong in the mansion."
Speaking of this, Princess Suzu was displeased. "Qing'an, you don't know, your old lady is really excessive, I have to say that she has never treated Brother Chong harshly over the years, saying that Brother Chong has never been out of the house because of poor health, you look at this yard, you look at this house, where it looks like a place where people live, is she stupid for me!"
Princess Ling snorted coldly: "Everyone in the courtyard, who doesn't have something unsightly, Liang Jinfeng can sit from a small trader to a second-grade fate, and hooked up with my seventh brother, and sent Yu Wenyi's idiot to the position of Shangshu, who believes it if there is no means?" Such a person, can he be kind to Brother Chong? ”
Qing Anle was happy, "How do you know that Wenyi Gongzi is a fool?" If he is really a fool, can he still be a second-grade Shangshu? ”
Princess Ling coughed lightly twice, "It's my prince's brother who said it." ”
Qing'an raised his eyebrows, but he forgot that the prince and she were both from the queen. It's just that since Old Madam Yu has become a faction with the Seventh Prince, and now she is here to tie up Princess Ling, won't the Seventh Prince have an opinion if she does this?
Yu Chong pursed her lips and seemed to smile, the old lady is a good calculation, she wants to hold the Seventh Prince, and she wants to be the prince, she is not afraid of any fall when the time comes, and she will be the emperor, she will be the winner.
How could such a smart person as Cheng Zirui not think of this relationship, he acquiesced to the old lady's doing, I am afraid that there is still a trick left.
"Brother Chong, can you leave now? Why don't you eat something first, and then we'll go out when you're done. I see that the weather is good today, so we can take a casual stroll for a while, and then go to Guangfu Tower to sit down at noon. Brother Chong, do you know Guangfu Building, there is a river next to it, there are flower boats passing by every noon, the literati and elegant guests on it, it is interesting to sing and sing. Brother Chong's health is not good, otherwise I will definitely take Brother Chong to the outskirts of the city to ride a horse, and it will be fun to whip the horse. ”
Princess Ling's words made Yu Chong suddenly think of Tong Yuqing, once she said that she wanted to go to the end of the world......
Thinking of her, Yu Chong's expression softened a lot in an instant, and the smile on the corner of her lips gradually rose, making Princess Ling's heart melt.
"Brother Chong." Princess Ling said softly: "Ling'er knows that Brother Chong must like it there." I'll ask the cook to get you some food, Brother Chong, let's leave when you're done?" ”
Yu Chong got out of bed and beckoned Qing'an to come over and help. "No, let's go now."
"Nope." Princess Suzu insisted, "If you don't eat anything, where can you stay up until noon." Or Brother Chong, are you worried that the cook's movements are too slow? Rest assured, the people who came out of the palace ......"
"I said I'll leave now." Yu Chong was a little bored, and his voice became cold.
Princess Ling was stunned for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, she changed into a cheerful and expectant look, "Then I'll bring all these pastries, let's eat them on the way?" ”
Yu Chong didn't speak, and Princess Ling took him as a tacit.
Yu Chong didn't care about Princess Ling, and walked out with the help of Qing'an. Since he became ill, this is the second time in so many years that he has come out of the small courtyard generously. The first time was for Tong Yuqing to be beaten, and this time, it was also for Tong Yuqing, but the people around him had been replaced by Princess Ling.
Princess Suzu came from behind and walked with him to the line. Yu Chong deliberately slowed down, Princess Ling was puzzled, stopped several times to wait for him, and saw that he really couldn't keep up with himself, so he thought that his body was a little unbearable, so he grabbed his arm and held him up. He retracted his arm and took two steps back.
"You are a princess, how can Yu Chong be virtuous. I'm just a citizen, and I can't be unruly. ”
Princess Suzu smiled, "I don't care. ”
Yu Chong took two steps back, and the significance is self-evident.
Princess Suzu was a little angry, and the color on her face was not good-looking. Qing'an was watching anxiously from the side, this was almost at the gate of Yu's mansion, if they annoyed this ancestor here, would they still be able to go out?
Qing'an looked at Yu Chong, but saw that his expression was indifferent, not arrogant or impatient, and he didn't seem to care if he could go on this trip at all. Qing'an despised it fiercely in his heart, obviously wanting to see Tong Yuqing was so desperate, but he wanted to do this in front of others.
The unhappiness on Princess Suzu's face was only for a moment, and it disappeared again in the blink of an eye. Yu Chong frowned slightly, pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Brother Chong, don't be angry, Ling'er knows. Then Qing'an, you hold Brother Chong steady, be careful, don't fall him. ”
Qing'an was disdainful, "Don't worry, princess, I have served the second master for so long and let him fall once." ”
Princess Ling looked at Yu Chong with a burning look, and swallowed the words back several times. After a moment's hesitation, he turned and walked forward.
Yu Chong and Qing'an had just left the house, and someone immediately told Xu Shuyuan what had just happened, and Xu Shuyuan hurriedly came over and told the old lady. The old lady pondered and pondered in her heart, and felt more and more that she still had to lower her identity and face to communicate with Yu Chong in this matter.
Xu Shuyuan, who came to explain the situation, was a little worried, and couldn't help but persuade her: "Grandmother, the Seventh Prince's side ...... there."
The old lady didn't care, "Yu Chong is the princess herself, what does it matter to us?" If the Seventh Prince is not happy, he can directly kill Yu Chong. ”
Xu Shuyuan has never thought through how Mrs. Yu, who has always been cautious and cautious, dared to provoke the Seventh Prince, Cheng Zirui, in such a way, it turned out that she was still calculating such a relationship. If the knot is successful, it is a two-way advantage. If it doesn't work, then it will not be able to touch your hands, except for Yu Chong, who is a thorn in the flesh.
The old lady's trick is indeed powerful.
"Shuyuan, you go out with Song'er in a while, what should be said or not, you should know."
Xu Shuyuan nodded obediently, "Grandmother, don't worry, I know." ”
The old lady sighed, "When the time comes, you go and keep an eye on it, I don't want too many people to know about Yu Chong's affairs, what is there to promote in the ugliness of the family." ”
Xu Shuyuan answered again, calculated that the time was almost up, and then left. As soon as she left, Zhang's mother couldn't help but worry: "Old lady, do you really rest assured that you will hand over this matter to the young lady?" After all, the young lady is ...... to do things."
Zhang's mother didn't finish her words, but the meaning was self-evident. The old lady rubbed her eyebrows and sighed: "I called Song'er together because I knew that she was not reliable." Don't look at Song'er, only that mouth is powerful, in fact, he is smart in his heart. ”
At Yu Chong's insistence, Princess Ling, who originally planned to ride in a carriage with him, could only get her luxurious four-horse BMW carriage over, obviously thinking about having a good talk, and then pulling in the distance between them, but she didn't expect that now the two carriages are one in front of the other, but they are even more distant.
Yu Chong and Qing'an were in the carriage behind, without words, just by looking at their eyes, they knew what each other meant. Qing'an lifted the curtain of the car and looked outside, in addition to a few family members from the Yu Mansion, there were also a few guards led by Princess Ling. Judging from the form and footsteps of several people alone, the martial arts of these people are not weak. If you want to sneak out, I'm afraid you won't have a chance at all.
Qing'an just opened his mouth to speak, but Yu Chong put his hand on his shoulder and shook his head gently. Qing'an swallowed his words, the coachman outside was from the Yu Mansion, if he opened his mouth to speak, he would definitely be able to hear it outside.
After a while, the carriage stopped and pulled down, and Qing'an had just gotten out of the carriage when Princess Suzu had already come.
"How is Brother Chong, is there anything uncomfortable?"
Yu Chong shook his head, his eyes swept to the bustling Beijing market, and he felt like a world away when he appeared here in the blue sky and daylight. Princess Ling couldn't help but be moved, and her eyes were slightly red.
"In the future, if Liang Jinfeng doesn't let Brother Chong go out, Brother Chong will call Qing'an to come to me, and I will personally pick up Brother Chong, Brother Chong can think of anywhere, and Ling'er will listen to Brother Chong."
Yu Chong smiled indifferently, in response. Princess Suzu's excited little face was flushed, and her shy appearance made people feel so pitiful.
Guangfu Building is really lively, and there are already flower boats walking in the river next to it. Yu Chong looked at it for a while, then called Qing'an and said that he wanted to eat the steamed rice cake at the corner of Changqi Alley. Princess Ling stopped Qing'an and called a Yu Mansion family to buy it, and let Qing'an wait in front of her.
Qing'an frowned, "When the second master was a child, the old lady often bought it for the second master to eat, and I don't know if the family still sells it?" It's hard to find that place, so I'd better go there myself. ”
Yu Chong suddenly stopped Qing'an, and looked fixedly at the woman who was dancing on the flower boat below.
