Chapter 066: The Past
For the rest of his life, almost all the nobles in Beijing poured out. Regardless of the congratulatory gifts of these people, as well as the foreign officials who were unable to enter Beijing in order to appease the Yu family, the holy rewards of rare antiques and precious medicinal materials alone were packed in ten boxes, and Murong Yan, who was newly crowned king and was in the limelight, came to announce the decree in person. The grace of God is abundant, and it can be seen.
The moon is bright in the middle of the night.
Yufu, which had been lively all day, returned to calm.
In the study of Yufu, Yu Sheng, the head of the Yufu family, who was dressed in a numb Confucian shirt and had gray hair, was smiling and eating longevity noodles.
The noodles are firm and the soup is rich. The noodle maker has excellent craftsmanship, and a noodle is spread for most of the bowl, if you don't use force, the clamp continues. Both the color and the meaning are excellent. Longevity noodles seem to be a lot, but in fact, adult men eat two bites and disappear.
After eating, Yu Sheng took the handkerchief handed by Mrs. Yu, wiped his mouth, and said with a gentle smile: "Madame's craftsmanship has been the same for decades. Hey, the poor husband can only eat once on his birthday. His tone can be described as very pitiful and aggrieved.
"Then I'll do it for you every day from now on?"
Yu Sheng met her teasing gaze and said with a wry smile: "Madame is embarrassing me again." ”
"Isn't that what you asked for? The chef in the house is no worse than the imperial chef, can't he stop your mouth? Or do you want me to drag this old bone and serve you every day? ”
“…… Wronged for my husband! "I was stunned for a long time for the rest of my life, and I was very sad." Madam, it's not that you don't want to be a husband, but if you are hurt and tired, it is not me who is distressed. ”
"How old are they, and they are still flamboyant, and they are not ashamed." Old Madam Yu glared at him, but after staring, she laughed.
Juvenile couples and elderly companions.
No matter how malicious outsiders speculate, they have to admit that their husband and wife have supported and loved each other all the way, which is enough to become legends.
After laughing, Mrs. Yu cleaned up the table before saying, "Today I saw Sister Qinghe's child." Although he is a little wanton, he can be regarded as a good boy. Ay...... We haven't done anything for so many years, and now because of Changle's affairs, we are cheeky and begging, and in the future, I am afraid that I will not have the face to see Sister Qinghe. ”
"Wanton? I don't think so. Yu Sheng said: "Today's matter, Changle told me in detail before leaving, and I also asked Changping them, if I want to be correct, Yan Hui, this child, is by no means as simple as it seems." ”
"What do you mean?"
When Yan Hui was young, he showed a talent no less than his father. I met him once, he was young and promising, but he was not carried away by the praise, he was a good boy who was gentle and humble. But such a person, who can believe that he was abolished because of a private fight with others, and his martial arts muscles were abolished? ”
"But didn't the government say at that time that the person was seeking revenge under the pretext of excuses?"
"It's not that simple. Still, that's fine. "If Yan Huo hadn't been abolished, and then he was disfigured for some reason and became a medicine jar, it is still unknown whether he can live until now.
"Husband?"
"The intelligence of the county lord of Qinghe is known to the world, and Yan Hui's wisdom is no less than her." Yu Sheng sighed, "The county lord of Qinghe is not a narrow-minded person, you entered Shangjing at the beginning of the year, and she is the first person to release kindness to you. Later, you became the rightful daughter-in-law of the Yu family, and gave birth to the eldest daughter, which was very loved by your in-laws. But at that time, the county lord of Qinghe took the initiative to cut off contact with you, and you must have asked the reason. ”
Old Madam Yu was gloomy, she did go to ask. She is young and miserable, and she has suffered countless hardships, and it is rare to have a friend who is not burdened by the prejudice of the family, but she is suddenly alienated, and she is unwilling, how can she not ask?
"This thing...... I've always had it in my heart. I did ask about it, but Sister Qinghe avoided it. When I didn't get an answer, I thought about it. Yan Mansion had hands and eyes in the sky back then, I thought she knew about the things we had hidden, and she was disdainful......" Old Madam Yu smiled bitterly, "I don't understand Sister Qinghe's hard work, and I didn't understand it until soon after the upheaval in Yan Mansion." ”
Yu Sheng patted her hand, "I don't blame you for this. The person who can't tolerate the Yan family and is involved with the Yan family will definitely suffer from the pond fish, isn't Concubine Wan Niangniang the best example. ”
General Yan's high achievements have already been a great trouble in the heart of the saints. His merits doomed him to be a lonely minister. If the first emperor is still here, he will definitely protect him. It's a pity that today's saints do not have the bearing of the first emperor to embrace all rivers.
And the Yu family is powerful, although it is not as good as the Yan family back then, but if the two families have contacts, the catastrophe will come earlier.
"Hey, it's a pity that General Yan is a genius in the sky, if he is still here, how dare Yelou Kingdom humiliate Dazhao so much!"
Yu Sheng shook his head, Yu Sheng was much older than General Yan, if it weren't for the fact that his wife had a relationship with the county lord of Qinghe, they would definitely be just a simple colleague for various reasons.
Because of this, when he was waiting for the saint to summon him outside the imperial study, he listened to General Yan talk about it. He said that this time he would go on an expedition, and he would definitely inflict heavy damage on the Yelou Kingdom, so that they would not dare to attack for a hundred years. If he returns victoriously, he will return to the field, take his wife and children, return to the hometown of the county lord of Qinghe, buy a few acres of fertile land, and make a daily income and rest at sunrise.
It's a pity that in this battle, the victory is a victory, but it is just an ordinary victory.
Outsiders don't know the inside story, but they know a thing or two for the rest of their lives.
The county lord of Qinghe died of a sudden illness, and General Yan rushed back overnight, but was attacked on the way and was seriously injured......
Not long after, General Yan was seriously wounded and died.
The whole people mourned the untimely death of the god of war, but the country of Yelou rebelled the next day, and everywhere he went, there were no chickens and dogs. The official was also like crazy, and frantically asked for punishment from the Yan Mansion.
Their reason was that if it weren't for General Yan, who didn't care about the overall situation, he fled the battlefield just because of his wife's death, which led to the crazy revenge of Yelou Kingdom. But in fact, more than ten holy decrees were issued in succession, summoning him back to Beijing. General Yan initially wanted to be subject to the orders of the foreign monarch, but later the healthy Qinghe county lord died suddenly, and the news spread to the border pass almost at the same time......
Under the manipulation of some people, the news spread throughout the Jokhang.
General Yan's reputation for bloody struggle is also shaky. Before the mourning period was over, Yanfu, who only had two children left, was besieged by the rebels who didn't know where they came from......
Later, the Holy Lord, who had been silent, finally opened his mouth.
Although shocked, there were still many people who defended General Yan. Even those whose families died in that brutal massacre came forward...... The blood book of the people was handed to the temple, only asking the saint to correct the name of General Yan.
However, in order to extinguish the "people's anger", the saint deprived General Yan of the title of Duke of Yipinguo. In order to appease General Yan's old department, he did not take back the Yan family's mansion and promised to treat the Yan family's orphans well.
But his kindness was only to reward gold, silver and jewelry, and then turn a blind eye to Yan Hui's sister and brother. Let them be in the grief of losing their father and mother, being tormented by their stepmothers who are different from each other, and being taken away by their stepmother's distant nieces what should belong to them......
It wasn't until Yan Huo was completely ruined that he remembered the "promise" he made in front of the civil and military officials - when Yan Huo became an adult, he was rewarded with the title of "King of Qinghe County", which was extremely ironic.
Yu Sheng thought at that time that the Holy Lord finally had a troubled conscience. But not long after, the daughter of the Yan family, wearing armor and hairpins, went to the border.
At that time, the rest of my life was completely dead to this majesty. He didn't know why, but he knew that Yan Jue should have married his childhood sweetheart Li Qingli soon, instead of going down a dead end.
"Husband, what should we do now?"
Seeing his beloved wife crying, he lamented again for the rest of his life. He sat down and tried to wipe away her tears. Old Madam Yu was nearly twenty years younger than him, and she could still see her young and handsome appearance.
"I know that you seem to be fine, but your heart is very tormented, so you close your door and ignore foreign affairs. You are thinking about the Yu family, and you are worried that the Yu family will be affected by you, so you don't dare to help the Yan family, and you have never mentioned a word in front of me. Madam, you've worked hard all these years. ”
"I ...... I ......"
"If it weren't for the kindness of the lord of Qinghe County, the Yu family would have been implicated. Now, the Yu family is like the second Yan family, and it is useless to express loyalty, even for the sake of three children, we should fight hard. "The county lord of Qinghe had expected that not only the Yu family, but also almost all the people with whom she had a good relationship had broken off contact, including Concubine Wan. Therefore, there are not so many people who are implicated, and because of this, there are very few people who dare to intercede regardless of their own bodies like Concubine Wan.
Although he was discouraged and disappointed for the rest of his life, he didn't plan to do anything. But the dragon has reverse scales, people have a bottom line, and his wife and children are his untouchable bottom line.
***
Following.
Everyone who attended the birthday banquet received a valuable return gift. As for the palace, it was Yu Sheng, who had not shown up for a long time, to thank him in person.
Yan Hui received not only a return gift, but also an air-dried begonia flower.
The dried begonia flowers lie in the corner of the delicate gift box, made by a special process, maintaining a complete and beautiful form, and you can smell the fragrance of flowers up close.
"What does that mean?" Xun twisted the flowers.
"I heard that Mrs. Yu likes begonias, if I understand correctly, the Yu family should have agreed to cooperate." Yan Huo said.
When Xun Yu heard this, he was no longer interested, and threw the flowers into the box at will. In a blink of an eye, she thought, "You're not worried about being debunked by them?" ”
Yan Huo said lightly: "Master Yu is a talent, even if his weakness is pinched, cooperating with a fool is definitely not what he did. ”
The rest of his life should have seen through him a long time ago, otherwise there would be no begonia flowers in today's gift box.
In other words, today's return gift is an illusion made for this flower. Otherwise, no matter how thoughtful he is, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be discovered.
"The basis of cooperating with the Yu family is to heal Yu Guifei's body, presumably in the near future, Yu Guifei will be able to find a suitable reason to find you."
Xun Yu was silent for a moment, "Well, I know. ”
"If you're embarrassed, push it."
"Why didn't you ask me if I was embarrassed?"
Yan Hui said: "Probably because I want to have the best of both worlds, or deliberately avoid it, but now I want to pretend to be a good person in front of you to make you more willing." Or, I want to be more comfortable and gain your favor. ”
Xun language: "......"
If Yan Huo finds another reason, Xun Yu can still reply with a sentence or two. He was so blunt that he almost called himself an aftermath of a hypocrite, but instead told her that she didn't know what to do.
Xun Yu looked at him for a while, and then moved his gaze to the window. Those few clusters of Lingxiao flowers finally couldn't bear the cruelty of time and began to wither.
"It's not difficult."
Yu Guifei's illness was caused by poisoning, as long as the poison was detoxified, it could be cured after a period of conditioning. If it was before...... This condition, which is almost a terminal illness today, can be cured in just half a month. But now......
The more he thought about it, the more upset he became, Xun Yu changed the topic, "Before, Yue'er said that there is a pharmacy in Beijing with complete medicinal materials, and I will go to see it tomorrow." ”
Tomorrow? Yan Huo frowned, "What do you need, write a list, I'll send someone to find it." ”
Xun Yu refused, "No need, I'll go by myself." ”
Buying medicine was by the way, she just wanted to go out for a walk.
She stared at Yan Huo and emphasized, "I'll go alone." ”
