Chapter 235. Vicissitudes
Chu Yunfei was more curious about the face hidden under the veil, why did she refuse to show her true face? She was a married woman, and it stands to reason that she would not follow such a clichΓ©. What's more, after he arrived, she deliberately sent out all the people who were guarding the room, obviously she didn't mean to guard against Chu Yunfei, why did she hide her appearance again? If she really has the heart to guard the great defense of men and women, she must not let herself enter the door.
"How can Young Master Chu be like ordinary laymen, twisting and pinching? Wouldn't it be better to speak directly if there is something to say? There was a little more anger in the county lord's eyes. She said coldly: "You are a person sent by the Emperor of the Zhao family, so you don't need to be polite to our Chai family." Although Emperor Taizu gave us the supreme wealth of the Chai family, he also sent a big shackle to our Chai family. The body is not afraid of crooked shadows, and we are naturally not afraid of anything. Tell me, what exactly is the purpose of your coming here? β
Chu Yunfei hurriedly accompanied the smiling face, it is impossible for the past grievances not to leave traces on the body of future generations, not to mention the great hatred of seizing the throne? Although Emperor Taizu was very respectful to the Chai family at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, some things that happened later were not so open. Later Zhou Shizong's relatives have basically disappeared, and most of those who remain are distant relatives of the Chai family. But after all, blood is thicker than water, even if it is a distant relative, he still misses his old friend. Taizu did this out of political considerations and for the future of the Great Song Dynasty. After so much time, hatred will still exist, and the Chai family will still be suppressed. The woman in front of her, who was titled the Lord of Lingshuang, seemed to be more direct in her hatred. This is probably related to the unhappiness of her marriage. He said repeatedly: "Please don't be surprised, I heard that the county lord is here, so I rushed to visit, and it has nothing to do with the emperor." β
"Yes. I guess he won't embarrass me anymore. Ling Shuang's eyes softened slightly, and she said coldly: "But since you have already come, you must have heard some rumors." Although I am in the inner house, I also know some things outside. I heard you came here for relics? Could it be that their Zhao family is really unwilling? Wouldn't it be good to be the emperor of their Zhao family with peace of mind? When Taizu ascended the throne, didn't he claim that it was the desire of the people? Then govern the world well, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Isn't it ridiculous to pin the country on those ethereal things? You are also the person around the emperor, you should also persuade a little, are you also like those ignorant people, just obey your orders? β
Chu Yunfei shook his head, this county lord was really not forgiving at all. Her name really resembles her temperament, cold as frost. After a while, I only heard Ling Shuang sigh and say, "If you don't have any problems, then please go back quickly." After all, I am a princess who has lost her husband, and there is a difference between men and women, so it is inconvenient for you to be here. β
"What does the county lord know about the legendary relics?" Instead of continuing to go around in circles, it was better to go straight to the knife, he looked at the county lord solemnly, "The county lord must know something, right?" I don't know if I can talk about it? β
Ling Shuang shook her head coldly: "When I was very young, I seemed to have heard my grandmother mention it, but it was too long and I can't remember it clearly, I only know that there were relics enshrined in Luoyang City. If you are a sincere person who worships the Buddha, it is understandable to worship relics out of respect for the Dharma, but isn't it ridiculous to pin all your hopes on it? The people of the Zhao family...... Sure enough, there is no vision. β
I originally came with great hopes, but I didn't expect to get nothing. Lord Lingshuang was right, but his responsibility was to find the relics. And those who come to Luoyang City in a bustling manner are all staring at themselves, and any wind and grass will cause an uproar.
But Orchid seems to be much more optimistic than he is. Facing Chu Yunfei, who was a little depressed, she shook her head and said, "Why is the son too anxious? Things work themselves out. At present, all forces are secretly competing, but I am afraid that many people will also bet their hopes on Childe, even if Childe can't find the answer. β
What a word to wake up a dreamer! The corners of Chu Yunfei's mouth rose slightly, and Hu Ji was too right. Aren't all the clues pushed in front of me right now? There will definitely be more clues to come.
Sure enough, Bianliang's letter confirmed his suspicions: Mrs. Xiang's identity is indeed extraordinary, and more importantly, her extraordinary communication skills. Entering and leaving the palace every year and making friends with harem concubines, she is really good at dancing with long sleeves. She seems unwilling to let go of any opportunity to socialize, and even people like Cuckoo have accepted gifts from her.
"A woman with long sleeves and good dancing knows how to please people." Maybe it was because Chu Yunfei was so distracted that Hu Ji coughed a few times, but he couldn't come back to his senses. Hu Ji had to speak with a displeased face, "I remember that Gongzi once said that there are many women who please men, but it is definitely not easy for a beautiful woman to please a woman. Childe said, what is the origin of that Mrs. Xiang? β
Chu Yunfei rubbed his temples that were a little painful, and said with a smile: "Woman, it's really troublesome." As long as there are women, there is big trouble. But you're right, Buddha worship is more common among women......"
Speaking of this, Chu Yunfei paused. The influence of Buddhism and Taoism has always been extremely influential, both in officialdom and among the people. Even the current emperor is no exception. And what about Sunan? Confucianism and Taoism are both economical, this is the state of most officials, is he an exception? Is this related to the Su family's secret? He looked at Orchid, looking at her appearance, as if he had found some clues?
"Don't think about any bad ideas. It took me a lot of effort to figure it out. I'm not going to tell you just that. Hu Ji looked at Chu Yunfei with a smug expression, and it seemed that she didn't intend to let go of the great opportunity to blackmail Chu Yunfei.
Su Tian'er suddenly appeared with tea, and she said with a smile on her face: "Yo, what did the two of you say?" So happy? Why don't you say it and make me smile? β
"Nothing." Hu Ji turned around and glanced at Chu Yunfei.
"By the way, our family heard that Childe was back, and said that he would invite Childe over and discuss important matters." Tian'er looked at Chu Yunfei with a smile and said respectfully.
The important thing? Could it be another clue? Su Tian'er didn't give Chu Yunfei and Hu Ji a chance to be alone at all, and hurriedly urged Chu Yunfei to leave.
