Chapter 121: It's All Calculations
In Yang Qiqi's mind, Wen Yaojia's pear blossom with rain face appeared in an instant.
Ruyi died at this time, and the biggest benefit is Wen Yaojia, right?
Wen Yaojia could tell Murong Zhao what she had said to her again. Let Murong Zhao know that it was his wrong decision that forced Ruyi to death. If he insists on marrying her off, he will also force her to death. One cry, two troubles, and three hangings, Murong Zhao was full of guilt at that time, so he naturally wanted to follow Wen Yaojia.
Yang Qiqi was in a complicated mood.
First, Wen Yaojia said that Murong Zhao was going to marry her. If what she said was true, then it seemed that Murong Zhao didn't love Wen Yaojia as much as he did in his previous life. Compared with Ruyi's death, such Wen Yaojia is even more pitiful.
Wen Yaojia in her previous life was also ruthless, but she could at least keep someone from offending me, and I wouldn't offend anyone. But what about Wen Yaojia now? Finally, all the beautiful and precious qualities of the previous life were lost. Now she is like a madman with empty beauty and unscrupulous means to achieve her goals.
Second, Yang Qiqi heard what Wen Yaojia said about how much Murong Zhao valued her.
The feelings of "value" and "love" are too unreliable. She and Zhang Zongsi have been married for 12 years, and in the end, she was not abandoned by Zhang Zongsi. So there is such a thing as feelings and men, after Yang Qiqi lived again, he made up his mind to stay away.
Instead of disturbing herself by leaving the words Wen Yaojia said in her heart, she might as well forget them all to be cleaner.
Yang Qiqi thought about it carefully, and she and Wen Yaojia seemed to be strangers in this life. Wen Yaojia's warnings three times and twice made her feel tired. No matter how Ruyi died, she decided not to have any intersection with Wen Yaojia and Murong Zhao again. She only needs to help Murong Zhao secretly, even if there is something that has to be reminded, there is Zhuo Yuqing here.
In the blink of an eye, Murong Xi stayed in Yuhang for more than half a year, and finally returned to Luoyang. After returning from the palace on an errand, he didn't even go back to the mansion, and went to the Yuguo Mansion first.
I haven't seen him for more than half a year, Murong Xi has obviously grown taller, and he has become thinner, looking much more handsome than before. As soon as he saw Yang Qiqi, he couldn't stop frowning and smiled: "Seventh cousin, I'm not in Luoyang these days, how are your days?" If you want to keep filial piety to your ancestors, you can't move around, isn't it weird and boring? ”
Yang Qiqi couldn't bear to pour cold water on Murong Xi, smiled at him, nodded and said, "His Royal Highness Thirteen didn't come, but it was a little deserted." ”
When Murong Xi heard this, he was overjoyed, and promised Yang Qiqi again and again: "I will often come to see you when I have time, but how did I hear that your third brother went out to Hotan?" What did he go to Hotan for? ”
Yang Qiqi thought of Yang Jingji, and couldn't help laughing in his heart. Two days ago, Zhuzhi came to report, saying that Yang Jingjian was traveling all the way, but seeing that Hetian had not been there for a long time, the more he walked, the more poor the mountains and bad waters, and finally thought about it, and ran back halfway. Yang Qiqi guessed that Yang Jingji must have some idea to deal with Mrs. Li, but he was happy to wait and see what happened.
"The third brother seems to be opening a jade mine, and he took nearly 20,000 taels of silver tickets from me." Yang Qiqi held his cheeks and said slowly: "I've been walking for almost three months, and I've only sent a few letters, and I don't know if the third brother has arrived in Hetian." ”
Murong Xi immediately asked her with concern: "Twenty thousand taels of silver tickets?" Where did you get so much silver? ”
"During the New Year's holidays, my master and brothers will give me a body for myself!"
"Yes, yes, I forgot that you have a second senior brother who is rich enough to rival the country." Murong Xi said, thinking of something, and said with concern: "Then the silver in your hand is not enough, your third brother wants to open a jade mine, it must be a good deal." Or would it be my share? ”
Yang Qiqi knows best that giving money to Yang Jingji at this time is the result of meat buns beating dogs and never looking back. Even if she didn't like Murong Xi very much, she was still grateful to Murong Xi for treating her well, so of course she didn't want Murong Xi to get involved.
"You have the way to come to the silver, so don't mix it with my third brother."
Murong Xi didn't say anything, only asked her, "After taking out so much, do you have enough money in your hand?" Do you need me to ......"
Yang Qiqi interrupted him with a sneer, "I still have a monthly case, and besides, I still have the input of the grain and oil shop that the second senior brother gave me, which is enough." ”
After sending Murong Xi away, Zhuzhi couldn't help but remind Yang Qiqi and said, "Seventh girl, why don't you let the Thirteenth Highness get involved, if the Thirteenth Highness gets involved." Isn't the third prince finished faster? ”
Yang Qiqi was also slightly surprised, she didn't expect to calculate Murong Xi at all. She smiled dumbly and said, "The reputation of the three sons of the left and right for gambling and having fun in the filial piety period is bad enough, so there is no need to bring His Highness the Thirteenth into it." ”
Let's say that Murong Xi left the Yuguo Mansion and went to the Ruiwang Mansion again. told Murong Shi about Yang Jing's opening of the jade mine and taking money from Yang Qiqi.
Murong Shi was quite surprised and said, "The seventh girl has so much silver in her hands? ”
Murong Xi nodded, "She said that her senior brother would give her silver every New Year's holiday, as well as the grain and oil shop that her second senior brother gave her. In Yuhang, she also has a 300-acre farm. Brother Seven, you have the most ideas on weekdays, and you have the best brain. You say, what can I give to the Seven Girls? ”
Murong Shi frowned slightly, glanced at Murong Xi, raised his eyebrows and asked him, "Why do you say that?" ”
Murong Xi hurriedly said: "Look, she is a senior brother." Not to mention the first few I haven't seen. Let's talk about Zhuo Changchuan, Yuan Ziao and Wei Bo'an. Yuan Ziao has forgotten it, and he has been given marriage. But Zhuo Changchuan and Wei Bo Encore haven't decided to marry yet. They are brothers and sisters, they grew up together, and they are the right thing. In case anyone has that idea in their hearts, when the seventh cousin is filial, maybe he will hire someone. That's not going to work! ”
Murong Shi secretly felt that what Murong Xi said made sense, but he asked him with a smile on his face: "When people send things, they still occupy the status of this senior brother." If you always send things to the Seventh Girl for no reason, wouldn't you ruin her reputation in vain? If you really want to help her," Murong Shi pondered for a moment and reminded: "It's better to go to the Duchess of Yuguo and give the silver to the Duchess of Yuguo, just say that you are short of money, and let them ask you for it." Isn't this equivalent to helping the Seven Girls share the burden? When the time comes, you get the dividends, you get back the principal, and give all the profits to the seventh girl, wouldn't it be better? ”
When Murong Xi heard this, he slapped his thigh and sighed: "That's the reason!" Or Brother Seven, you have a lot of eyes. ”
After getting this suggestion, Murong Xi went back to make preparations, and soon had someone send 10,000 taels of silver tickets to Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li knew that Yang Jingji was short of money, and it was the right time for Murong Xi to send money at this time. Moreover, even the thirteen princes are involved, and this business is going to be bigger.
Mrs. Li was overjoyed, but Yang Qiqi couldn't help but sweat for Yang Jingji. Once this thing is about to make trouble, Yang Jingzhi will not go to half his life, but will have to peel off a layer of skin.
In June, Murong Zhao actually entered Luoyang with King Xin. The Xinwang family was safe and sound, and nothing happened.
Yang Qiqi made people stare at it, and they didn't notice anything wrong. It's not just this one thing that is completely different from the previous life, so naturally I don't bother to think about it.
"Girl, His Highness Eleventh is back, should we tell His Highness Eleventh about Ruyi?" When Zhu Xin heard that Murong Zhao was back, he had to ask Yang Qiqi more.
Yang Qiqi thought about it, and finally shook his head slowly.
Let's say that on the second day after Murong Zhao returned to the Eleventh Prince's Mansion, he was accompanied by Wen Yaojia to Ruyi's tomb to worship.
Ruyi was buried in a mountain col on the outskirts of Luoyang, with picturesque scenery on all sides, and Wen Yaojia said that it was a place specially selected by Mr. Feng Shui.
After the worship, the two did not immediately get into the carriage and leave, but strolled in the direction of the city.
The sky was gloomy, and Wen Yaojia also looked in a heavy mood, silently all the way. When she came to the end, she asked Murong Zhao faintly: "Your Highness, have you decided what kind of family you will choose for me?" ”
Murong Zhao looked at Wen Yaojia with gloomy eyes, and didn't know how to answer for a while, and finally only said, "You let me think about it again." ”
Wen Yaojia smiled quietly and didn't say anything more, the two walked wordlessly for a while, and then changed carriages and returned to the Eleventh Prince's Mansion.
At night, in Murong Zhao's study, Tan Fujia sent information about the past few days.
Among them, most of them are about the crown prince, the fifth prince and the seventh prince, as well as some nobles and ministers in the court. No matter how big or small, as long as there is a little suspicious thing, talking about Voga will be transcribed.
Murong Zhao flipped through a few pages, frowned, and said, "The relationship between the crown prince and King Xin is really not ordinary. ”
Tan Fujia pointed out directly: "This time, the little county lord and the third prince of Yuan married each other, and it was proposed by Queen Gu. The Duke of Hubei commanded the world's soldiers and horses, and the Yuan family's status among the generals was second to none. At the moment, I can't see the relationship between the king and the prince. But once the Duke of Eguo and King Xin return to the prince's side, the prince's position will be more stable. ”
Murong Zhao frowned deeply and sat on the circle chair. The slender fingers pressed against the pages of letterhead, motionless, as quiet as a statue of a god.
Tan Fujia saw that he was thinking about it, and whispered: "Your Highness, we can't just watch King Xin marry the Duke of Eguo. ”
Murong Zhao rubbed the bridge of his tall nose and said lightly: "This marriage is given by the emperor, and the two families are afraid that they will not dare to give up this marriage easily. ”
Tan Fujia nodded, and he also looked very difficult.
While he was talking, he heard someone knocking on the door outside and saying, "Your Highness, Your Highness, it's not good!" ”
Tan Fujia was talking to Murong Zhao about a big matter, and when he heard this, he couldn't help frowning and opened the door. Outside was a little maid under Wen Yaojia's hand, her face turned white with surprise and fear, "...... Your Highness, Your ...... Why don't you go check it out...... Miss Yao, ......"
