Chapter 39: The Man Who Can't Move
"My brother misunderstood, and the third sister just talked about it." Although he revealed his true thoughts just now, Jiao Yuzhen would not be stupid enough to say anything, "Actually, I'm just worried about what kind of life I had at home before I left the pavilion, and my younger brother also saw it, and I don't know how to live when I go to the declining Prince Jing's mansion in the future, so I said this." Thinking that if I can't go on in the future, I'm afraid I'm going to leave. The third sister is also nonsense, and the younger brother should not take it to heart if he hears it. ”
Jiao Hongfu nodded lightly, but said like this: "Younger brother, I am only ten years old, and I will be a weak crown in another ten years, I am worried that if the third sister gets married, she will leave Prince Jing's mansion soon, but I am afraid that it will be a blow that my father can't withstand." So after the beginning of the spring, I will go to the examination to gain fame, and then hope to be able to take over my father's position within three years. If the third sister can wait for me for three years, try to wait for me for three years. If not, the third sister wants to leave Prince Jing's mansion, and I still hope that the third sister can inform me in advance. ”
The little boy in front of him revealed a feeling of being old, that look completely like a little adult, and what he said just now made Jiao Yuzhen take aback, this Jiao Hongfu is not only a small ghost, but also a careerist, and he is only ten years old and is thinking about his father's position?
seemed to see what Jiao Yuzhen was thinking, Jiao Hongfu explained softly: "Third sister, my brother's plan is also for the sake of the family, and the third sister of my father's temperament should also understand, although it is sleek, but it is too sleek, otherwise the saint will not be wary of him." I took over my father's position as soon as possible, not only to keep my father and dissipate the thoughts of those who want to kill me, but also to save the Jiao family and dissipate the suspicion of the saints. ”
"My younger brother is the eldest son and grandson of the Jiao family, and it is appropriate to consider the Jiao family. In this case, I also promised my brother that if I made any moves, I would send someone to inform him. ”
"Okay." Jiao Hongfu's always calm face showed a smile that his wish had been fulfilled, and he finally had the appearance of a little child, but as soon as he changed his words, the topic was still old, "So how should the third sister deal with that Xiao Shu?" ”
"Keep it until I find out where she came from."
"So how does the third sister deal with the eldest sister and the second sister? Yes...... No......" Jiao Hongfu suddenly retracted his words, "The third sister should have already subdued the eldest sister, otherwise the eldest sister would not have rushed to find my father with me at that time." It's just a few days, and the eldest sister can be subdued, but the third sister has only made a move since then, and the younger brother admires it very much. However, the second sister is far more powerful than the eldest sister, and she is not so weak on the surface, what should the third sister do? ”
"It's all my own sisters, what will I do? As for the eldest sister, it was all because of a misunderstanding before, but now it's just a matter of releasing the suspicion, and the younger brother has misunderstood. Jiao Yuzhen didn't forget that this little boy and Jiao Youhan were sisters and brothers of the same mother, so she wouldn't tell her plan, but ...... It doesn't seem like a problem to say it.
"Although the eldest sister is the identity of the concubine, but the reputation is not good, and she has been waiting in the boudoir, how to deal with the third sister, the younger brother will naturally not ask, but the second sister is going to enter the palace after the spring is selected, with the second sister's appearance and talent, the selection is inevitable, if the second sister becomes the favorite concubine of the saint, it is also a matter of glorious lintel." When Jiao Hongfu said this, he paused before continuing to speak, "So it's better for the third sister not to touch the second sister." ”
Jiao Hongfu's words have an obvious warning flavor, Jiao Yuzhen is not a fool, she naturally understands, so her revenge is also so close to Jiao Hongfu's intentions: "Brother don't worry, if I want to be unfavorable to the second sister, I won't give the second sister the opportunity to enter the palace to participate in the palace banquet after getting the leader of the year-end poetry banquet of the county lord of Wenyu." Although I was fortunate enough to participate in this palace banquet in the end, I will definitely not steal the limelight from my second sister, and besides, I am not already married? It doesn't pose the slightest threat to the second sister, or I can still do a favor at the palace banquet, so that the second sister shows a limelight in front of the emperor, so that the emperor can fall in love with her at a glance. ”
Jiao Yuzhen didn't lie, at first she gave up the opportunity to participate in the palace banquet because she was afraid that she would get into trouble, but now it has become her best opportunity to take revenge on Jiao Youhan, Jiao Youhan has the reputation of the first talented woman in the capital, but she doesn't have a little bit of the brains of the first talented woman, she doesn't know that the palace is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones, as the saying goes, "Once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and every step is frightening", if a woman like Jiao Youhan was chosen by the emperor because of her limelight, this entered the palace, Hasn't it become a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of all the harem concubines?
This method of killing people without seeing blood can not only make her take revenge, but also make Jiao Youhan grateful to Dade for thanking her, and can also relieve Jiao Hongfu's worries, Jiao Yuzhen is very satisfied with his revenge plan!
"The third sister is broad-minded, and it is a blessing for Prince Jing to have such a princess as the third sister." Jiao Hongfu said as he got down from the chair and made a gesture towards Jiao Yuzhen, "Thank you Third Sister for your hospitality, I need to continue my homework after taking a nap in the afternoon, so I'll go back to my grandmother first." In fact, if the third sister is free these days, she should go to her grandmother's side. Although my grandmother was not close to the three sisters in the past, she was the grandmother of the three sisters after all. The third sister went to see her grandmother, maybe her grandmother could still guide the third sister. ”
Jiao Hongfu said very reasonably, Jiao Yuzhen's memory has no impression of this old lady Jiao Pan who stays at home, and this old lady Jiao is a well-known patriarch, even Jiao Ruzhi, the concubine, has never looked at it, all day long I just know that while knocking on the scriptures and chanting Buddha, while protecting my only grandson Jiao Hongfu, I will not do anything else, otherwise the Wang family will not be arrogant for so long and bully her so badly in the past?
"Grandmother can teach your brother so well, she will definitely be able to guide me, but I'm afraid that my grandmother doesn't want to see me." Although Jiao Yuzhen admired Mrs. Jiao who could teach Jiao Hongfulai, she was a little worried in her heart, she didn't want to add to her free life.
Jiao Hongfu didn't embarrass Jiao Yuzhen, Old Lady Jiao Pan is indeed a difficult person to get along with, not to mention that he has always been patriarchal, so his three sisters don't like this grandmother, but this was originally said by Old Lady Jiao herself, so he came to bring this to him, and he didn't care if Jiao Yuzhen went or not.
"Third sister, younger brother will leave first."
"Well, my brother walks slowly."
Seeing Jiao Hongfu out of the room, seeing Xiao Shu Ling neatly entering the door to clean up the food on the table, Jiao Yuzhen rubbed her slightly aching temples with her hand, in the twenty-first century in her previous life, she had also seen a lot of intrigues and tricks, but no matter how much it was not as much as here, carefully counting the less than half a month since she was reborn now, she has spent so much effort, and she still doesn't know what to do in the future, she can't stabilize her status and power as soon as possible, and she really can't live in this world......
"Miss, there is a Du Chenghuan son who handed over a letter outside the mansion and asked to see Miss." Qingmei stood outside the door and reported respectfully.
"Du Chenghuan? But you didn't see you for a day and came here in person? Jiao Yuzhen didn't know what Du Chenghuan was doing, "Invite him to the courtyard...... By the way, let Begonia take some pastries and tea and prepare them in the garden. I received Du Gongzi in the garden. ”
"Yes." Qingmei nodded and withdrew.
"Miss, Xiao Shu will clean it up, and then go to the garden to wait for Miss."
Glancing at Xiao Shu lightly, Jiao Yuzhen naturally knew this girl's thoughts, but Liu Wu hadn't come back yet, so she had to endure it: "Yes." You go too. However, this Duke Chenghuan is one of the leaders of the year-end poetry banquet of the Lord of Wenyu, the talented man who stands side by side with me, the future pillar of the country, this time he should come to consult with me about poetry, you will have to wait later. ”
"Well, Xiao Shu knows!" Xiao Shu nodded with a smile, and then went out with the dishes.
Jiao Yuzhen half-narrowed his eyes, then took the silver poison test needle left by Jiao Hongfu on the table and hid it in his sleeve: "You can't have the heart to harm people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people...... This Du Chenghuan's weird and weird ......"
******
Jiao Yuzhen didn't come over at noon, Jiao Youhan was nervous, after all, she had to eat the porridge and side dishes she had prepared by herself, and then all the rhetoric she had prepared was useless, and more importantly, the person who made Jiao Yuzhen didn't come over was her own brother Jiao Hongfu.
The dead child not only rarely took care of her, but even played her pretending to be kind more thoroughly, and did not help Jiao Ruzhi and Jiao Yuzhen before, fortunately, the grandmother didn't care about the affairs of their junior daughter's family at all, otherwise her image of a delicate beauty would have been broken because of this dead child. In the past, she always thought that this Jiao Hongfu was always her own brother, and she was also a sibling with tendons when she broke her bones, so she kept ignoring the small actions behind him, but she didn't expect that this Jiao Hongfu would do such a thing one day......
"Shui Se, go and send the high-grade sandalwood that my mother bought last month to my grandmother, and say that I chose it myself." Jiao Youhan put away his thoughts and said.
"Yes, miss." Shui Se nodded, and then continued to speak, "I heard that after the young master left the courtyard of the third miss, the third miss seems to have a guest to visit." When I was in the hall, I happened to see the green plum in the courtyard of the third lady taking the greeting post into the courtyard. ”
"Guests? This Jiao Yuzhen used to live like a subordinate, and the people he could know were only selling vegetables and pouring night incense in the market. You know more people than she does, what can she have to hand in a greeting to ask for a guest? Jiao Youhan suddenly felt that this might be a good opportunity, if she could catch Jiao Yuzhen's pigtails, she could go to Jiao Lihe and Old Madam Jiao to say that the Wang family had just left this morning, and Jiao Yuzhen had a problem in the afternoon, even if Daddy didn't open his mouth to take the Wang family back because of the face of those princes, Old Madam Jiao would definitely not agree that there was no housewife here!
"Miss mean we're going to take a look?" Shui Se looked embarrassed, "The courtyard was still okay before, but now there are six families guarding the courtyard of the third lady, and it is not easy to sneak in." ”
Jiao Youhan's face also sank: "What happened to this Jiao Yuzhen, she has only been submissive for so many years, but after coming back from Zhuangzi this time, her whole person has changed, and she has sent Jin Er away...... That Jin Er was a cousin with her, and he was loyal to her, and she must have some ulterior secret when she sent Jin Er away...... Could it be that she is not the real Jiao Yuzhen, so she was afraid that Jin Er would see it, so she sent Jin Er away? ”
