Hongfu didn't go downstairs for a while, Aunt Lin went upstairs and saw Wanying crooked on the couch, and sat next to Wanying with her skirt up. It was cold and hot outside, and a layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her cheeks were slightly flushed. Aunt Lin is forty years old, she is still plump, very beautiful, and she can't see a little fine line on her face without powder, she is slightly older than Aunt Gao, but she does not have the vicissitudes and entanglements on Aunt Gao's face, so that many people who don't know think that the third aunt of the Shifu is Aunt Gao, and Aunt Lin is the fourth aunt's wife.

"The things I brought into the palace are almost packed. You can't bring too much, you have no grade and no grade, and Wanyun is uncomfortable with more than you bring, but you can't be less, it's not easier in the palace than at home, and you have to think about everything everywhere. Wanyun's position is above you, and my mother also packed up some things, and asked them to carry them over, which can be regarded as our mind. ”

Wanying leaned on the cushion, supported her head with one hand, and said lazily, "Qing'er listens to Aunt Lin." ”

"The jewelry sent by Mrs. Wu'anhou will be put at home first, and if you need it in the future, your mother will send it to you."

"Why bother with such botherings, wouldn't it be easy to bring them into the palace together?" Wanying heard Aunt Lin mention Mrs. Wu Anhou's gifts, which just provoked the little question in her heart.

On the velvet blanket next to the bed, a few sticky hairs were sticked, Aunt Lin picked them out one by one, put them in her hand, and said: "This is what your father meant, Prince Rong has already waved his army to the west, I heard that Wu Anhou has been sick in the past few days, and he has closed the door to thank guests. In short, you remember, don't mention this to anyone after entering the palace, this is also what your father asked your mother to tell you. ”

Aunt Lin roughly explained the ins and outs of the matter, although it was only a few words, but it was also clear and clear. It is unavoidable that the imperial court has begun to snub Wu Anhou. Shi Da has never liked to form gangs, and he is even more disgusted with the dispute between friends, and Wu Anhou wooed Shi Da Da Shi just to restrain the emperor.

Taizu Taizong of our dynasty is a powerful family in the south, and he first came to the north to operate, and the power of the former dynasty that has dominated the north for a hundred years is deep-rooted and intertwined. There are rumors in the market that the first emperor was harmed by the forces of the previous dynasty and suddenly collapsed. The truth of the situation is unknown, but the Marquis of Wu'an was ordered to be the minister of the orphan when the first emperor died. Guozuo was founded, the new emperor was young, the palace was full of orphans and widows inside and outside, and the court was also pregnant with ghosts.

But the emperor has passed the age of the weak crown, and he is no longer the eleven or twelve-year-old child, if Wu Anhou can retreat bravely and return to the emperor, maybe there will be no embarrassment at the moment, but people always have a front eye, no back eye, Wu Anhou did not expect that the emperor who grew up by himself could one day embarrass himself so big.

"Qing'er knows."

"Things may not be as bad as my mother thinks, but there is nothing wrong with preparing for the worst." Aunt Lin continued.

"Mother, what's going on? In the past few days, Qing'er feels that her father seems to be a little tired, is there something wrong in the palace? Wanying was getting up and sitting on her side facing Aunt Lin.

Aunt Lin nodded alertly, looked around the empty attic, and said: "Mother is also thinking about herself, this war in the west is unfavorable, on the surface, it seems that Wu'anhou is not good, and inside, I am afraid that the palace will start to make moves against Wu'anhou." The emperor's wings are growing, even the queen mother has already allowed the emperor to be in power, if the Marquis of Wu'an still regards himself as a minister who cares for his life, and points fingers at the emperor, isn't it to touch the stone with an egg, although the emperor is young, but the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, Wu'anhou is a minister, so he should retreat bravely in response to the time, and it should be time to be beautiful for so many years. Wanying looked at Aunt Lin and muttered these things, as if she had already figured out it in her heart, especially the last sentence, 'It's time too', with a little pleasure in her tone.

"Mother, when should it be?" What Aunt Lin said made Wanying even more confused.

"Oh, ah......" Aunt Lin looked a little flustered, and her words were blocked. Mother is saying, you don't tell others about family affairs in the palace, the rights and wrongs in the officialdom are sticky, intricate, ever-changing, be cautious in words and deeds, especially in words, be sure to remember. Got it? ”

"Well, Qing'er, don't say a word in the palace, don't take one more step, it's none of your business, everything is up to your father and mother's arrangement."

"Well, you only serve the concubine in the palace with peace of mind, and your father will take care of the rest." Aunt Lin took Wanying's hand, the faint anger on her face dissipated, and she became happy again.

I only heard the sound of footsteps coming into her ears, Wan Ying thought it was Lu Rong coming up, but the person who entered the room was the teacher. The crown belt of the previous dynasty also had time to be replaced, his brows were tightly locked, and his expression was tense. I think it's not just as simple as looking at Wanying.

"Have you eaten in the yamen?" Seeing that Master Lin was like this, Aunt Lin got up and asked.

Master Shi walked to the side of the bed, pulled up Aunt Lin lightly, and said with a frown: "Quietly put away all the things that Fang Songding has sent in the past few years." ”

Not only Aunt Lin, but even Wanying was taken aback, a few days ago, the mother and son were still talking about Fang Songding, why did something suddenly happen, and there was no sign before.

Aunt Lin hurriedly closed the door and asked, "Something happened in Fujian?" ”

Master Shi frowned and nodded, and said in dismay: "Fujian Jiedu has made Wei Guang may be reversed, and the secret report of eight hundred miles has been sent to the palace this morning." ”

"Is the news true?" Aunt Lin asked.

"In the morning, someone from the Beijing suburb post station sent a letter to say it." Master Shi paused for a moment and said, "What 100,000 urgent things need to be rushed with 800 miles?" What else is there besides rebellion? Wei Guang has long been Sima Zhao's heart, and passers-by know it. Fang Songding is his right-hand man again, can he not follow along? Hi - now that the external troubles of the imperial court have not been eliminated, and internal worries have been added, it is imperative for Wu'an Hou to go out of the mountain. ”

Aunt Lin pinched her fingers, leaned in after the teacher's words, and said, "This morning's eight hundred miles is urgent, and if there is a rebellion, it will be ten days ago!" ”

"Fang Songding either rebelled with Wei Guang, or he would have been in a different place a long time ago." Master Shi sat down in his chair and hammered the armrest with his right hand.

"Fang Songding has always held a grudge against Wu Anhou for not saving him when he saw death, and Wu Anhou also guarded against Fang Songding, and deliberately transferred him out of Gyeonggi for so many years, Fang Songding has long had no way to retreat, can he not follow along? I hope the city wall doesn't catch fire and affect the fish in the pond! Aunt Lin was also confused, and said in despair.

"It's really an eventful autumn, a wave of unsettled waves and waves of ......" Master Shi closed his eyes and looked up to the sky and sighed. By now, it has tasted the same as chewing wax. It's not that Master Shi himself is greedy for power and is reluctant to be prosperous and rich, he himself is already in the game, how can others let him withdraw easily?

Aunt Lin took down a few Shoushan stone and jade carvings that Wanying usually played with from the shelf, opened the cabinet and picked out a few tea cones containing Tieguanyin, and put them on the wooden table in the middle of the room along with the basket of oranges.

"That's all there is to Qing'er, I still have a few bloodstones in my house, and I will take them out later."

Master Shi pointed to the jade carvings on the table and said, "You can just put away these jade pieces and those bloodstones, and put the tea back." Maybe I'm thinking too much, but the situation has been obscure lately, and I'm getting more and more confused about what's going on? Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. I had long expected that Fang Songding and Wu Anhou would turn their faces sooner or later, fortunately, the things sent by Fujian in the past few years have been left here by you, and outsiders don't know, so let's put it away first, and wait for the rumors to pass. ”

Originally, Wanying wanted to beg her father to keep the jade carved rabbit, but she was afraid that someone else would take the handle if she showed any flaws, so she didn't speak.

"Do you still want to bring the things sent by Mrs. Wu'anhou into the palace?" Aunt Lin took out the cup and handed it to the teacher.

"Let's stay in the house for the time being, I don't know if Wu'anhou is a blessing or a curse this time, let's wait and see for a while." Master Shi took a sip of tea and sighed heavily.

Or because it happened suddenly, Wanying saw her father and mother talking about the affairs of the court in front of her for the first time, Wanying looked at her father's tired and exhausted face, and her heart was sour. He is struggling to support this family outside, no matter the wind and rain or the lightning and thunder, he always carefully uses his arms to bear all the wind and rain, and uses his strength to cover this place that has long been shattered inside.
