Chapter 116: The County Lord Under Surveillance
I can't stay for long, and I have to go back to Qingqiu Pavilion to teach Ping Jue and his sisters, so that before noon, Feitong came and asked her to have lunch with the second lady.
Today's Yunzhi's dinner table is more abundant than in the past, there are eight treasure quails sent by the eldest lady, fried spiny dragon teeth, and simmered chicken with bamboo sun, steamed mandarin fish and so on from Xiyuan, which cannot be placed on the small table, and another table is set up next to the bed.
"These things at home are all taken care of by subordinates, and you can't lose your manners anywhere, so that the eldest aunt and the third aunt won't worry about me." Yun Zhi leaned on the head of the bed, sitting cross-legged, with little interest in those big fish and meat, holding a small bowl of yam and barley porridge in his hand, eating slowly, "My father and mother have never come to ask me if I am okay, how can others worry." ”
Fu Yi only said: "Xu knows that you are fine, so I can't come, I'm afraid of disturbing the old lady, isn't it?" ”
Yun Zhi shook his head: "It must be yesterday in the paddock, and I heard a lot of things, so I didn't have time to plan." When they think of me, I'll be fine, and maybe I'll be scolded a few times. ”
Fu Yi didn't want to provoke the relationship between father and daughter, mother and daughter, so he lowered his head to eat, Yun Zhi put down the dishes and chopsticks, leaned over and said: "Grandma specially instructed this pass, has you already smelled the breath, and the matter is right in front of you?" ”
"It's hard to say......," Fu Yi said, "Maybe it's because of the second cousin, and my aunt and grandmother are afraid that we will also get into trouble." ”
Yun Zhidao: "It is impossible to marry the girl of Rouyin into the door, unless the family is separated, my brother is alone, and no one can control him." ”
Fu Yi persuaded: "Don't think nonsense, the old lady just said, tell us not to worry about the affairs of adults." ”
Yunzhi shook his head: "If you want to divide the small family, you must first divide everyone, and if you divide the family, I can't live in this house." The natural tribe will buy us fields and houses, but there will be no festivals from now on, and even a series of doors will have to be weighed. When everyone is divided, our family will divide the small family again, and I don't know where I will be married, and within two or three years, the family will be separated. ”
This is said bleakly, but it is also a reality, even Fuyi knows that the eldest master and the second master will split up sooner or later.
It is said that in the past three hundred years of the Zhu family, after the death of each generation of the old man, the new grandfather presided over the family business, and the first thing was to divide the family.
Yun lost his appetite for a while, and when he saw that Fuyi had eaten well, he ordered his mother-in-law to remove all the tables.
Fuyi got up to find the citron, the little girl didn't know where she went, and when she appeared, she didn't have time to complain, so the citron smiled and said: "The county lord has arrived, and the slave is going to welcome the county lord." ”
Sure enough, I saw Yao Nian enter the door in response, full of vitality, wearing a bright red pomegranate skirt, which made her skin white and her lips red, and said with a smile: "I smell the fragrance of food, have you finished eating?" I'm afraid that you will come out to meet me, so I sent someone to greet the old lady first, and I came quietly. ”
Fu Yi stepped forward to salute, Yao Nian stopped him, and looked at Yunzhi by the bed: "Are you okay?" ”
Yun Zhi bowed and said: "You bothered to think about it, it was all my carelessness." ”
Yao Nian asked: "I don't understand, how did you fall off, your riding skills are also considered to be in the middle and upper class, at least you won't fall off the horse." ”
Yunzhi glanced at Fuyi, and endured it in his heart: "I don't remember it now, fortunately, it's nothing, otherwise I'm afraid of causing you trouble." ”
Under these politenesses, he couldn't say anything important, and Yunzhi still needed to recuperate and observe, which just gave Yao Nian and Fuyi a chance.
Yao Nian came to visit Yunzhi, but in fact, she wanted to talk to Fuyi, and soon after, she and Fuyi went to Qingqiu Pavilion, saying that they would see how the girls went to class in the afternoon.
When the girls came to school, there were no idle people in the study, and Yao said to Fu Yi in a young voice: "Did you see with your own eyes that my mother was rescued by the emperor in the paddock yesterday?" ”
Fu Yi bowed: "Yes, I just happened to be in ......"
Yao Nian said: "I hope you don't misunderstand, my mother did deliberately arouse the emperor's thoughts, but don't listen to outsiders' nonsense, she is by no means that kind of person, doing this is just hoping that the emperor can relax his vigilance against our mother and daughter." ”
Fu Yi's expression was serious: "I will never misunderstand the princess, don't worry." ”
Yao Nian asked again: "So, do you know Mu Kaijiang?" ”
Fu Yi nodded and said, "It's a regular visitor to this house, and I've seen it a few times." ”
Yao Nian said: "From the first day I arrived in the capital, he has been spying on me, and he seems to know that I have found out about this, but no matter how I play him and threaten him openly and secretly, he still has a ghost. ”
Fuyi was very surprised, she was even more worried that Mu Gongzi and Zhu Rong were so good, his affairs were equivalent to Zhu Rong's affairs, would even Zhu Rong help Mu Gongzi monitor the county lord together?
However, having said that, Zhu Rong has always been on an errand for the emperor, and he is good, whether it is the old men and sons in this family, they are the emperor's people, and they have their positions.
Between monarchs and ministers, in the country and in the world, there is no right or wrong. On the contrary, Fuyi himself is the outlier in this family, enjoying the glory and wealth of the Zhu family, but his heart is only towards Kishu.
"Of course, even if it's not this person, someone else will come." Yao Nian said, "It is always true that the emperor wants to spy on us. ”
Fu Yi's mind was spinning, guessing the purpose of the emperor's surveillance of the princess's mother and daughter, and he couldn't help but feel nervous, and after looking out the window, his voice became softer and softer: "The emperor is spying on you and the princess, is he afraid that the prince and the prince will contact you?" ”
Yao Nian nodded sadly and angrily: "My mother and I still want to check the evidence, but the emperor's attitude is already obvious, he is wary of us everywhere, there must be ghosts in his heart, otherwise we orphans and widows, what is there to guard against?" ”
Fu Yi's heart jumped suddenly: "Suppose, county lord, I'm just assuming ......" She almost stammered, and after trying to calm down, she continued, "If the emperor killed the prince and the prince back then, but the father and son fell off the cliff, therefore, in fact, even the emperor didn't know whether the prince and the prince were still alive, so for so many years, I have been afraid that the prince and the prince will reappear in the world." ”
Yao Nian clutched Fuyi's arm tightly: "My mother and I both think so, and there is hope in our hearts, if even the emperor doesn't know the whereabouts of my father and brother, they are likely to be alive." But what has become of the persecution, it will not be able to appear for five years, or will it be ......"
Fu Yi looked at Yao Nian deeply: "County Lord, what can I do?" ”
Yao Nian nodded: "I came to beg you...... Can you inquire about something from this house, the eldest lady was in such a hurry to pick up my sister-in-law back then, she must know something behind it. ”
Fuyi said frankly: "I can't think of a moment and a half, where to ask, at least the eldest lady and their two things five years ago, together with the old lady, are reluctant to mention it easily, and the eldest lady is disgusted and jealous of me, we almost never meet." ”
Yao Nian said: "Don't worry, you take care of yourself first, and then think about inquiring." But if there is news, don't send letters, we will tell you anything in person. In the exchange of letters on weekdays, they say irrelevant things and let them just take them down. ”
Fu Yi asked, "Someone intercepted our letters?" ”
Yao Nian said with a smile: "Intercepting letters is the least basic means, and when I slowly teach you the way of soldiering, you will understand." ”
At the same time, Zhu Rong and Mu Kaijiang had just exited the emperor's palace and met Min Yanshi who had entered the palace. ”
Min Yanshi said with a smile: "A trivial matter, don't make a big fuss, but let outsiders think that I invite credit, my own brothers and sisters, what do you want to thank?" ”
Zhu Rong made another move, because he knew that Min Yanshi wanted to see the emperor, and he didn't dare to delay his time.
They hurriedly said goodbye, Zhu Rong and Kaijiang Fang had just received an errand in front of the palace, and they were going to leave the palace at this moment, walking all the way, and Kaijiang suddenly said: "There is something, I want to give you a wake-up call first." ”
Zhu Rong looked at him: "What? ”
Kaijiang said solemnly: "Miss Yan and the county lord have close contacts, I have read several letters, although it is just some trivial matters of needlework and female red, but they are so close, the emperor must also pay attention, if you can persuade, or persuade the girl to stay away from right and wrong." ”
Zhu Rong's eyes darkened, he understood these things early on. Before the princess's mother and daughter entered Beijing, Fuyi was concerned about the Jizhou Palace, not to mention that now that they are in front of him, how can he persuade them.
Kaijiang said again: "If the princess and her daughter are willing to leave the capital, return to Kishu and hand over the military power, they can live without worry." On the contrary......"
Zhu Rong clenched his fists, of course he knew the emperor's ultimate purpose, if the princess and daughter couldn't keep to themselves, they would soon be able to "meet" their relatives.
Kaijiang is also heavy: "You say, will the prince and the prince still be alive?" What would be the result? The court, and you and me? ”
