Chapter 077: Owed to Him
Ye Yufu had the idea that the two would definitely have no future from the beginning, because this love was destined to be disgraceful.
But she knows Ye Yugui's character very well, he is extreme and stubborn, and if he vetoes it directly, he will be more perseveringly entangled.
Ye Yufu didn't speak, and patted the back of Ye Yugui's hand: "Aren't you still in trouble, let's go quickly." ”
Although Ye Yugui wanted to stay for a while, he was really hindered by something, so he had to turn around and leave.
As soon as Ye Yugui left the princess hall, he left the palace again, and this time he still didn't bring anyone.
He wandered to the most prosperous part of the city, and then went straight to a very nondescript inn.
The shopkeeper of the inn was a middle-aged man in his forties, and as soon as the man saw Ye Yugui speak, he asked, "What to eat?" ”
Ye Yugui took out a heavy pack of silver ingots from his sleeve and said, "Boiled fish fillets with osmanthus wine." ”
The shopkeeper quietly took the silver ingot, weighed it, nodded with satisfaction, and then said expressionlessly: "Go upstairs to the second room." ”
Wen Xi was eating the delicacies on the table at this time, and his immature face was covered with oil stains from roast chicken.
"Seven Princes, please come in."
Ye Yugui's hand had already been discovered by Wen Xi before it landed on the door, he fortunately pushed the door open, and when he entered the door, he saw Wen Xi with a face full of oil stains and frowned in disgust.
"How do you know it's me."
Wen Xi put down the roast chicken leg that he had eaten with only bones in his hand, then wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said with a smile: "Although the Seventh Prince is very well hidden, sometimes excessive caution can cause trouble. ”
The donkey's head he said was not in the horse's mouth, which made Ye Yugui's dissatisfaction stronger and stronger, and his tone became a little cold: "You haven't answered my question yet." ”
Wen Xi immediately changed his serious face, and said with a cold face: "Don't be ashamed of the Seventh Prince, I'm just joking, you forgot that I asked you to meet here, so there is a voice at the door besides you." ”
Ye Yugui snorted coldly and sat opposite Wen Xi: "You came just in time, if you don't call me, I plan to look for you recently." ”
Wen Xi put a piece of braised pork in Ye Yugui's bowl and said, "This braised pork in this shop is a must, the Seventh Prince hurry up and try it." ”
Ye Yugui squinted at him, and after a while, Wen Xi sighed helplessly.
"I wonder what the Seventh Prince told me?"
Ye Yugui didn't answer him, first asked the people outside to clean up the mess, and then said: "Why did you come to Beijing all of a sudden, didn't you say before that you would never enter Beijing." ”
Wen Xi shrugged his shoulders and then said helplessly: "The world is impermanent, and people really can't make an oath casually." However, although the news of my coming to Beijing spread, no one has seen my true face, so please rest assured that the Seventh Prince is here. ”
Ye Yugui asked directly: "How did I do the things I told you before?" ”
"I've been a little hindered, and I don't know who has been stopping your and my plans. I've been investigating for so long, but I still haven't found out the real culprit behind the scenes. ”
A long time ago, Ye Yugui began to plot to frame the prince in private, and he and Wen Xi began to continuously collect the loopholes and inappropriateness of Ye Yushen's handling of affairs over the years from two aspects.
Even if Wen Xi didn't say it, Ye Yugui himself noticed that since about two months ago, it seems that all the weaknesses about the prince have disappeared, and no matter how you check it, you can't find the slightest bit of skin.
But although Ye Yugui was suspicious before, there was no conclusive evidence, after all, although the prince trusted him very much, he also had several staff members under his command who he was not familiar with. Among them, there is a company called Pak Ching that is the most popular.
Ye Yugui has investigated this person in private, but this person's background is simple and even slightly false, Bai is about twenty-five young, and he looks like a scholar. The family was originally farming, but later because of the doting of his parents, he was sent to a private school for a few years. Since then, it has also been famous in the township.
But just Xiucai may be a great character in a small place, but it is not enough to see it in Beijing, but then he was somehow introduced to the prince. In just half a year, he has become the prince's right-hand man.
Ye Yugui also tentatively asked Ye Yushen about Bai Qing, but he was always prevaricated by Ye Yushen, and after a long time, he didn't try, but silently wrote down this person in his heart.
Now after Wen Xi said this, Ye Yugui basically confirmed that this matter was the ghost that Bai Qing was making behind him, and I am afraid that the sneaky man in the Fengyi Hall was also sent by Bai Qing.
Just by virtue of Ye Yushen, he never has such intelligence and strategy.
Ye Yugui thought about it, and then asked Wen Xi tentatively: "Do you know a person named Bai Qing?" ”
Wen Xi obviously didn't expect to hear this sentence from Ye Yugui's mouth, so he immediately asked, "How does the Seventh Prince know about this person." ”
Ye Yugui frowned, and said in a low voice: "It seems that it is really not what I expected. This man suddenly appeared with the prince half a year ago, and I suspect that he is the one who is holding me back now. ”
Wen Xi's slightly immature face was almost twisted together at this moment, and after listening to Ye Yugui's words, he hugged his shoulders and said, "If it is him, it is very possible." ”
He bit his lip and said reminiscingly: "Actually, I won't tell you, my current position should have belonged to him." ”
Ye Yugui saw that Wen Xi's expression was wrong just now, so he guessed that something must have happened to him and Bai Qing before.
Then Wen Xi fell into the memory: "Actually, I have an older sister, she took care of me when I was very young, until a year ago she married an ordinary merchant in Jiangnan, five years ago, our village suffered from famine and plague, and my parents also died in this disaster, leaving only my sister, who is more than ten years older than me." ”
Ye Yugui listened quietly on the side, in fact, he had also heard what Wen Xi said, five years ago, there was indeed a village that said that it was a locust plague that caused no harvest, and then there was a sudden epidemic, and almost the entire village was not spared. Unexpectedly, Wen Xi was actually a member of that village.
"Later, I fled with my sister to Jiangnan, at that time my sister took me around to find a place to live, the worst time was to live in a leaky temple for two months in a row, the longest time was three days without eating, but then my sister was introduced by a well-wisher and began to work as a maid for a rich lady, although the money she earned was not very much, but it was enough for the two of us to eat and wear."
Wen Xi thought of the down-and-out at that time and cherished the current rich life more and more, and the dishes on the table just now may not be eaten by Ye Yugui, but in his eyes, it is a rare delicacy.
"But as I got older, my sister began to think about my future life, so I took another job as an embroiderer, and the money I earned was used to pay for me to go to private school, and it was when I went to private school that my sister and I met Pak Tsing."
"Bai Qing was a teacher at my private school at that time, he was young but quite knowledgeable, and he always took good care of me. After about three or four years of attending private school, I found that my brain was far more intelligent than that of other people my age, and even compared to most adults. ”
Ye Yugui must let Wen Xi into his camp at that time, and the key point is also because Wen Xi is smart enough like him.
Wen Xi then recalled: "Later, I gradually found that even Bai Qing's knowledge could not catch up with me, and at this time I found that my sister's relationship with him was unusual, and it was not until later that I learned that Bai Qing had fallen in love with my sister at first sight many months ago. ”
"I was just a kid at the time, so probably because of jealousy or conceit about myself, I began to hate Pak Tsing more and more, and the private school gradually stopped going, but at this time, Pak Tsing always came to my house in the evening and taught me the content of the day alone."
"Although I resisted at first, but after repeated times, I found that Bai Qing is really an excellent teacher, and his connotation and cultivation are far from what I seem, at least if I reach his realm, it will take at least three or five years. So gradually, my attitude towards him changed, and my sister's relationship with him deepened day by day, until finally it even reached the point of talking about marriage. ”
"But the good times didn't last long, one day my sister was looked down upon by the young master of the family where she was a maid, and even promised her the promise of the young lady, and the person was young, handsome and rich, compared to Bai Qing was just a poor teacher with no future."
"So in the case of hiding from Bai Qing, my sister and the young master got along, but one day I was inadvertently broken, and I went to tell Bai Qing in anger, although I don't know what Bai Qing and my sister quarreled about, in short, it didn't take long for the two to be completely separated."
"Almost half a year later, when it came time for the imperial examination, Bai Qing and I both signed up to participate, but on the day of the imperial examination, it also happened to be the day when my sister and the rich young master got married. Outside the exam room, Bai Qing asked me about my sister, and I leaked out about her marriage. ”
Wen Xi has always hated it now, if he hadn't been cheaper at that time, he wouldn't have owed Bai Qing so much.
"Later, I heard others say that he rushed to the wedding banquet and got drunk and made a fuss before leaving, and the later imperial examination was also because of this incident, which led to a serious abnormality, and finally he only got a show, if he is usually the top of the level, it should not be a problem."
"Later, thanks to the emperor's grace, I rose all the way to where I am today, and I have never seen him since that imperial examination."
Wen Xi sighed and shook his head slightly: "To this day, I feel that my sister and I owe him everything and rob him of everything he should have. ”
Although Wen Xi is young, this sentence is old-fashioned, and outsiders look at it quite funny.
Ye Yugui figured out Bai Qing's person, touched his chin and began to think about countermeasures.
After a long time, he said slowly: "So you mean that what Bai Qing is doing now is to take revenge on you and your sister, right?" ”
Although Wen Xi didn't want to admit it, how could he veto it in the current situation.
"It should be so, and I don't know where Bai Qing got the news that I am helping you now. He knows everything about me and can always guess how I should take the next step, so I'm afraid your path will be harder and harder......"
When Ye Yugui heard this, he suddenly laughed, and said with deep eyes: "This is not a good thing, since this person understands you, then why don't we come and treat others in the way of others." ”
