Chapter 109: A Secret Letter
When Luo Heng delivered the letter to Yu's mansion, he happened to meet Chen Song who was about to leave the capital and go home. Xu Shuyuan didn't come to see him off in order to avoid suspicion, and Chen Song was a magnanimous young master when he came, but when he went back, he was like a lost dog.
In front of Yu's house, Yu Wenyi pulled Chen Song and said again in a serious tone. Chen Song was annoyed in his heart, but he still looked well-behaved and obedient on his face. Yu Wenyi probably felt that he was very proud of his fox and fake tiger power, and he was inevitably a little presumptuous on his face. Chen Song kept the smugness in his eyes in his heart, and his teeth itched with hatred.
"When the prince is angry, I will find a suitable time to call you to the capital to have a good time. This time it's really ......."
Yu Wenyi sighed hypocritically, and clapped his hands and patted Chen Song's shoulder to show relief.
Chen Song pretended to be indifferent, and laughed loudly: "My cousin is serious." Then his tone changed, and he became worried again. My grandmother treated me like a grandson, but I was so angry. If it weren't for my cousin, where would I still be alive. Now my grandmother is sick again, but I can't do my filial piety in front of me. Wenyi cousin, grandmother's body is in trouble for cousin to take care of,"
Yu Wenyi was polite to him again, and when he saw him get into the carriage and leave leisurely, his peaceful face suddenly turned cold, and he turned around and entered the mansion. Yu Wenyi, who had just entered the gate of Yu's mansion, saw Luo Heng who was about to go back, and knew that Luo Heng was Cheng Zirui's left and right hand, and he inevitably wanted to stammer.
Who knew that Luo Heng passed him directly, and left without even saying hello.
Yu Wenyi scolded the dog slave twice, and then rushed to Mrs. Yu. When he entered the house, he saw Mrs. Yu holding a letter, and he was curious to lean over to take a look, but before he could see a word, Mrs. Yu put the letter away.
"Wenyi, has your second uncle made any moves recently?"
After Cheng Zirui left, Yu Wenyi told Mrs. Yu what he heard about the conversation between Cheng Zirui and Yu Chong, and Mrs. Yu thought twice, although she did not express her attitude clearly, but as long as she talked about Yu Chong, her tone would be more polite than before.
That's already the answer.
"No, I've been staying in the small courtyard."
Old Madam Yu's shrewd eyes blinked twice, and said: "During this time, as long as it is his request, as long as it is not excessive, all of them will be followed, don't be a colt when the time comes, and you will have to go over the old accounts to our side." ”
"Grandmother!" Yu Wenyi directly said the worries in his heart: "If he really becomes a colt, he will definitely come to turn over the old accounts." The money and treasures we snatched from him, as well as Tong Yuqing's affairs, are enough for him to turn over old accounts. ”
"And you can still go and kill him now?" The old lady's face turned pale, "It's good to kill him early before you don't have enough brains, it's a hundred, and you can save so much trouble." Now that the person is still alive, since he has been taken by Princess Ling, can you still provoke the people of heaven at this juncture? ”
After saying this, Old Madam Yu softened her tone again, and then said, "As for whether he will turn over old accounts...... I am the old lady's wife, the head of the house, if he wants to come to the old accounts at that time, then I can also turn over the old accounts. What if he is a courtier? Even the Son of Heaven always has to pay attention to the word 'filial piety', right? ”
Reason is this principle, but it is ......
Yu Wenyi wanted to say something, but Old Madam Yu intercepted him.
"Haven't been to the Qinglou recently?"
"Grandmother, what are these words? The grandson used to be ridiculous, and that was because he was with some fox friends. Now that my grandson has grown up, where can I go to that kind of place? ”
Old Madam Yu snorted lightly, "I don't know you yet?" ”
Yu Wenyi was a little embarrassed, and woke up uncomfortably. "I've been there once recently."
"Is it the Moon Red Mansion?"
Yu Wenyi's face was a little unbearable, "Grandmother, you asked someone to follow me?" ”
The old lady took the letter into his hands. "The master behind the Yuehong Mansion is the prince, right?"
Yu Wenyi stiffened, he had just learned about such a secret thing, how could his grandmother, who was not out of the house, know about it.
"Grandmother ......"
The old lady patted his hand and motioned for him to look at the letter first. Yu Wenyi opened the letter and glanced at it, and then broke out in a cold sweat.
"It's ......"
"This is what the Seventh Prince just asked someone to send."
Yu Wenyi gasped and read the letter carefully. After putting down the letter, he asked with a solemn expression, "What does the Seventh Prince mean by this?" Why doesn't the grandson understand? ”
In that year, the Li Kingdom was in turmoil, the prince of Li was killed in battle, and the whereabouts of the crown princess were unknown. And after Zhuo Changdong defected to the Li State, he was attached to the lord of this foreign relative. And what the letter said was that Zhuo Changdong instigated the lord of his relatives to secretly collude with the seventh prince Cheng Zirui.
After all, one is a relative, and his name is not right, and the other is just a prince and not a prince, and he is also unjustifiable. With the same position and the same interests, joining forces is the best choice.
This is the best move in the prince's hand.
It's just that Yu Wenyi doesn't understand, what does the Seventh Prince mean by explaining this kind of thing?
Old Madam Yu knew that he couldn't understand what Cheng Zirui meant, and couldn't help but be annoyed. "You've been an official for so long, haven't you heard anything, haven't you seen anything?"
Seeing that he was just looking stupid and indistinct, Old Madam Yu was so angry that she just wanted to raise her hand and slap him in the head.
"What is said in this letter is not the Seventh Prince at all, it is the Crown Prince!"
Yu Wenyi repeated this sentence twice in his head, and then he figured out the meaning.
"Li Guo is not colluding with the Seventh Prince, it is the crown prince! It's only because Zhuo Changdong was the person of the Seventh Prince before, so the prince will calculate? After saying this, Yu Wenyi shook his head again and said: "No, if the emperor sends someone to investigate, won't the prince dig his own grave?" ”
The old lady suddenly sneered, "This is the cleverness of the crown prince. In the emperor, the seventh prince is more ambitious than him, and the prince's actions during this time are far less dense than the seventh prince's secret, we all think that this is the prince's disadvantage compared to the seventh prince, but I didn't expect that this was an illusion set by the prince. What's more, Zhuo Changdong is still a member of the Seventh Prince. This alone will make the emperor convinced of this. ”
After listening to the old lady's words, Yu Wenyi made the important points clear.
"What should we do, grandmother?"
Old Madam Yu raised her hand and knocked on the door of his head, "You asked you about the Qinglou on a whim just now?" ”
After her reminder, Yu Wenyi suddenly realized, patted his head and said, "Grandmother, I know." ”
He stood up and left, and Mrs. Yu called him back again. "Song'er is gone?"
mentioned Chen Song, Yu Wenyi was impatient. "Things are all like this, and he said in front of the Seventh Prince that he was leaving, what else can I do?"
How could Old Madam Yu not see that this was actually Yu Wenyi's own careful plan. She sighed and waved her hand, "Go get things done." Remember, don't always think about being clever and you won't be able to achieve great things. ”
Yu Wenyi chuckled in his heart, afraid that the old lady's eyes that were perceptive to everything would quickly retreat.
After lunch the next day, a family member came over and said that Yu Chong was going to leave the house and wanted to ask the old lady what she meant. In fact, Yu Wenyi gave instructions to the head of the mansion yesterday, but the second master of the Yu Mansion has never been out of the house for so many years, and the people in the mansion also know that Mrs. Yu deliberately suppressed him, although Yu Wenyi had already said hello, but the people in the house still did not dare to let people leave easily, so they came over again to ask Mrs. Yu what she meant.
"What is he going out for?"
"I said I wanted to go out of the house."
Old Madam Yu frowned, why did Yu Wenyi just ask Yu Wenyi to tell things yesterday, and Yu Chong wanted to go out today. frowned, "Tell someone to follow, don't go wrong." ”
An hour later.
"Old lady, the second master is back."
Mrs. Yu, who was closing her eyes and recuperating, answered nonchalantly, and heard Zhang's mother add a sentence next to her: "He, brought someone back." ”
The old lady opened her eyes suddenly, "What person?" ”
Zhang's mother shook her head, "It's a wild girl who sold herself to bury her father, and I heard from the people who went out that the girl and her father stink." The girl kept pestering the second master, not saying that the second master's carriage caught her father, and pestered the second master to buy her. ”
Old Madam Yu snorted coldly, "What a big guts! Mother Zhang, you go and check the bottom of that girl carefully, don't get into unclean people. ”
"The old slave knows."
Zihua, who turned into a delicate woman, was brought into Yu's mansion by Yu Chong, Zihua's play was so good, she pretended to be like a country girl who had never seen the world, look at it here and there, it was very fresh. That's it, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a country accent could come out, and Qing'an's goosebumps rose all over his body.
He looked like this outside the small courtyard, and when he entered the small courtyard, he became an uncle, took off his shoes and lay down directly on the soft collapse in the house. "I used to fly in the wall, but today I used to go, but I'm really tired."
Qing'an was the last to come in, and when he saw him looking so vulgar, he mocked twice: "Country girl, I don't understand the rules at all." ”
Zihuale hehe, opening his mouth is a sentence full of local flavor. "That is, you big families have a lot of rules."
Qing'an was amused by his tone, and couldn't hold back his laughter. Zihua was also having fun, and said a few more words, which made Qing'an laugh so much that his stomach hurt.
"Qing'an, you go down first."
Yu Chong, who had been silent, opened his mouth, and the cold tone made the laughter of the two suddenly disappear and fade. Qing'an glanced at Zihua and pursed the corners of his mouth helplessly.
Since Yu Chong went to the Seven Kings' Mansion that day, the whole person has become cold and cold since he came back. Zihua was amusing Zihua just now, not just to give this ancestor joy.
Now that he is not happy, it has made him unhappy.
