Chapter 53: Rumors of King Yu
The Duchess glanced at him and snorted lightly, "Maybe." ”
Jiang Yu said with a smile: "Look at Second Master Shen's treasure, she must be reluctant to marry so early." ”
"Sometimes... But they can't help it. The Duchess looked at him and said faintly
Jiang Yu's eyes were slightly cold, although Shen Guogong was a civil official, he could say a few words in the court, now that the emperor is old, if the new emperor takes the throne with the current position of the Shen family.... The fourth concubine is afraid that there will be a surname Shen.
Seeing that her son had a sense of crisis, the Duchess happily patted him on the shoulder and got up and said, "Mother, go and show you the medicine." ”
After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving Jiang Yu alone with a black face.
Mama Qin, who came out of the courtyard, said loudly: "Madam, the county lord of Anping is only eight years old. "She is six years old apart from the third son.
Duchess Guo looked back and smiled: "Isn't there a five-year difference between me and Grandpa Guo?" ”
Mama Qin only remembered that the young lady was also married to Grandpa Guo, who was already twenty-one years old, at the age of sixteen, and at that time it was still a relative of Grandpa Guo himself.
Seeing that Mama Qin wanted to understand that the Duchess of Guo smiled and walked towards the study in the front yard, but the difference was six years old, and those who were seventy or eighty and married fifteen or sixteen little girls as wives abounded, it was rare that her son, who treated everything indifferently, could be interested in a little girl, and besides, she really liked the girl of the Shen family, and she would naturally not stop her as a mother.
The next day, Jiang Yu took Shen Ai to the Zhuangzi outside the city to see, the two discussed and began to make wine, because the chrysanthemums have withered, and the plum blossoms are beginning to show their faces, the two decided to start brewing from the plum blossom wine, and in the spring of the next year, there will be peach blossom wine, pear blossom wine, etc., so that the flower wine continues all year round, Shen Aiguang thinks about it and feels that the money is bright!
Five days later, there was a heavy snowfall, and the fluttering snowflakes made the yard seem to be wrapped in a thick white coat.
After pouring two cups of tea, he relieved himself, and looked at Lingbi, who was looking annoyed with a look of disbelief and regretted talking to his own young lady, and said, "What you said is true?" Absolutely true? ”
Lingcui took a handkerchief and gently patted the crumbs that fell in front of Shen Ai's chest, glared at Lingbi, who was still standing in front of her with a worried face, and turned to Shen Ai: "Miss, it's better not to listen to these dirty things, so as not to pollute your ears." ”
"No, no, no!" Shen Ai took the handkerchief in her hand and patted herself, and said, "If you want to say, you must say." ”
Seeing that her young lady had a tough attitude, Lingcui pursed her lips and was not dissuading, and Lingbi knew that she had aroused the curiosity of the young lady with her mouth, so she stubbornly said under Lingcui's white eyes and the surprised eyes of the young lady: "It is indeed crazy outside, and the king went to the small restaurant at the end of Chengnan Street last night, and many people saw his figure, and also saw him carrying a white-faced and soft-faced little official into the wing, and it took a long time to see the two of them come out." ”
Lingbi twisted her handkerchief and stumbled with a red face and told all the news she heard, the two maids were unemployed, not to mention this kind of dirty thing to find a petty official, and her face was flushed.
Shen Ai waved his hand to let the two people who were already panicked retreat, and tasted the news carefully. But this is looking for a petty official in front of so many people, and I know that someone is deliberately framing him with my toes!
Shen Ai's eyes narrowed, what kind of grudge is this, he dares to make the prince of the dynasty so faceless, but this reputation is not a good thing.
When I had dinner in the evening, I didn't see any topics related to King Yu at the dinner table, so Shen Ai had to suppress the curiosity that was about to overflow to his throat.
In the court
After a day of fermentation, the old emperor finally became angry with the old emperor the next morning, and reprimanded King Yu fiercely in front of all the ministers.
King Yu, who was kneeling in the main hall, was scolded bloody, and the exquisite jade crown he was wearing had been tilted to the side by the music in the emperor's hand, and a few strands of slightly messy black hair fell, kneeling in fear at his father's monstrous anger and admitting his mistake.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty have bowed their heads to do the posture of watching their noses, no one spoke out to dissuade them, the previous dynasty was because the emperor coveted men, and was confused by the beautiful little eunuchs around him before he died in the country, since the founding of the dynasty, the emperor strictly forbade the opening of buildings such as prostitution, until the current emperor succeeded to the throne is relatively relaxed, but these buildings can only be opened in secret places.
Although the face of the prostrate king of Yu was obedient to the emperor's scolding, but the drooping eyes showed a ruthless color, yesterday he was knocked out from behind, and woke up in the Rausch Ziju Building, he does like to play boys and boys, but he is also measured on weekdays, only playing in his own private village, which shows that someone wants to harm him.
The man on the top of his head who he called his father was still scolding himself, King Yu hated him so much that he clenched the roots, his mother was just a palace maid, and he died early, he could only live under the queen's fake and righteous poisonous woman at a young age, and he was named the prince just after the weak crown, and outsiders said that it was a good life, but who knew that it was just that the queen and the prince were afraid that he would compete for the position above his head, just because his biological mother was favored by the emperor for several years.
The old emperor finally got tired of scolding, and finally locked up King Yu, let him cultivate himself in the mansion, and ordered the prince to supervise him.
The crown prince originally had a good relationship with King Yu, and anyone could see that the old emperor was partial, in the end, it was his own son, the ministers knew it, but they just didn't know, and after King Yu was done, the old emperor talked about the matter of Tan Ping County Order.
And Shen Ai had already driven the carriage to find Jiang Yu again, and as soon as he got off the carriage, he was led to the courtyard by Jiang Yu's little servant Thirteen, and when he asked, he knew that the eldest prince hosted a banquet today, and the duchess went out to the banquet.
Since this is the case, Shen Ai entered the courtyard and went straight to the study, after being hit by the arrow, he lived in this courtyard for so many days and was familiar.
Pushing open the door, I saw Jiang Yu lazily leaning on the sofa made in her room, dressed in a wide-sleeved white dress, with long hair and a face like a crown of jade, and the originally somewhat indifferent eyes were as bright as starlight after turning to her.
Shen Ai was stunned for a moment, and then walked into the house and called, "Brother Jiang! ”
Jiang Yu turned around and looked at her with a smile on the jade paperweight in his hand: "It's rare for you to go out on such a cold day with such a big snow, what's the matter?" ”
Shen Ai glanced at the paperweight engraved with 'Four Gentlemen' on all sides in his hand, poured himself a cup of hot tea and said eloquently: "It's okay, what can I do, I just miss Brother Jiang." ”
Jiang Yu smiled slightly: "The little mouth is really sweet." ”
Shen Ai licked her lips and smiled, "That's a must." ”
Jiang Yu's eyes dimmed slightly, and he looked away from his pink lips, and shouted to the people outside to make a few snacks in the kitchen.
The two chatted about trivial matters in the winery, and after eating a piece of snack, Shen Ai changed his words: "Brother Jiang, do you know about King Yu?" ”
"You mean the message that came out in the last two days?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Shen Ai nodded wildly
Jiang Yu glanced at her: "So curious about what he is doing." ”
"Oops, I'm curious who framed him."
"It's not about framing, King Yu is originally this kind of person."
Shen Ai frowned slightly: "Then why did he hook up with Ruan Zhen?" ”
Jiang Yu said: "I guess I'm looking for a shield." "Who thinks about it in the end, but it is still put on the table.
"Who the hell has such a big enmity with him?" Shen Ai twisted his eyebrows
Jiang Yu raised his finger and flicked his forehead, and said, "It's none of your business, don't delve into it, be careful of getting into trouble." ”
Shen Ai, who was playing a little painfully, puffed out his face and said angrily: "You must know who did it, don't tell me, hum." ”
Jiang Yu looked at her and pouted very cutely, and said with a smile: "I do know, but this is a major matter in the court, I can't say it, but the matter of King Yu is not over yet." ”
Shen Ai snorted lightly and didn't continue to ask, he was about to go back after lunch in Jiang Yu's courtyard, and Jiang Yu naturally escorted him on horseback.
When passing by the door of a teahouse, Shen Ai's carriage was stopped by a person who looked like a guard, everyone frowned slightly, Lingcui lifted the curtain slightly and poked her head out, and said with a straight face: "Bold, who are you to stop the county lord's car?" ”
Before Jiang Yu could say anything, the guard bowed in the direction of Shen Ai and Jiang Yu, and said, "The county lord of Anping, the third son of Jiang, the prince is invited." ”
The prince of the world? Shen Ai in the carriage wrinkled her eyebrows, it wouldn't be Zhou Li, and the only prince she had met was him.
Shen Ai raised her eyes to ask Jiang Yu, only to see him raise his head slightly, so he responded to the guards, and let the two maids help him get out of the carriage, she wanted to see what Zhou Li wanted to get from her.
Jiang Yu also got off the horse, led Shen Ai into the building and entered the box on the third floor, Zhou Li was sitting and making tea, and when the two came in, they raised their hands to signal the two seats placed on the opposite side, and with a light smile on their faces as before: "The county lord and Jiang Gongzi, please take a seat." ”
The two of them saluted him and sat down, and Zhou Li poured two cups of the high-grade red robe for the two of them, and said, "How about the two of you taste it?" ”
Shen Ai has always liked flower tea, and he doesn't know much about these big red robes and Biluochun, and Jiang Yu has changed his face with a look of being light and light-hearted.
Both of them raised their cups and took a sip, Jiang Yu nodded slightly, and said, "The son of the world is very skilled, admire." ”
Zhou Li smiled and said politely: "The third prince has won the prize." ”
Shen Ai also smiled and said in a sweet and glutinous voice: "Ai'er is used to drinking flower tea on weekdays, but she can't taste what this tea tastes like, she only feels bitter." ”
Zhou Li said: "Although the entrance of this tea is bitter, it is slightly sweet to the throat, and the county lord is young, so you will know its beauty when you taste it more in the future." ”
Shen Ai just smiled at him after hearing this.
Zhou Li said again: "I heard that the county lord likes to eat, and the dim sum of this teahouse is also a must, osmanthus cake and water chestnut cake are the signatures here, can the county lord try it?" ”
Saying that, he sent someone to call Xiao Er in the teahouse, Shen Ai just ate a lot of sauce elbows at Jiang's house, which will not have much appetite for dim sum, but others have already sent someone to call Xiao Er, so they have to order one or two meaningfully.
It was not Xiao Er who came, but the shopkeeper of the teahouse, a fat man who looked at least more than 200 pounds, but although the fat smiled and looked gratifying, Shen Ai ordered osmanthus cake and plum blossom cake for the occasion under his recommendation.
