Chapter 23 The Past
In the guest room of Hongyun Building, Fu Qingqing sat at the table, on the table, a pot of tea and three teacups were placed in the center of the table in a regular manner. She came here and waited for half a cup of tea, thinking about the news written in Zhuo Yucheng's letter, and carefully calculated it in her heart.
There was a sound of footsteps at the door, and she heard her attendant knock on the door respectfully: "Miss, Shenwu Jun and Miss Xinyao are here." ”
"Please come in, both of you. When the words fell, I heard the closed door creak open, and the waiter stood sideways by the door, bent down and stretched out his arms to guide Zhuo Yucheng and the others, and when they entered the room, they closed the door lightly, and stood at the door, quietly turning the wind.
"Miss Qingqing's little waiter is reassuring and thoughtful in handling things. When Zhuo Yucheng entered the house, he smiled and said to Fu Qingqing, isn't it, he didn't say much, he respectfully greeted the two of them, and spontaneously went to the door to guard the door without the master's instructions, he was really a good assistant.
"Shenwu Jun said with a smile, my little waiter is just introverted and decent. Fu Qingqing chuckled, stretched out his palm to the empty seat opposite, and motioned for Zhuo Yucheng and the two to sit down.
After the three of them sat upright, Fu Qingqing said slowly: "Shenwu Jun's letter, Qingqing has already read it, and Qingqing also knows what is said in the letter. ”
"If Miss Qingqing has her own thoughts, she might as well say them, and everyone will discuss them. Fu Qingqing is a talented woman full of wealth, and there are only a few letters in his letters, which roughly explain the intentions of the eldest prince after that, and the details are blank, in order to see what the eldest lady of the Fu family has her own considerations.
In the family, few people will ask her what she thinks, even though she is full of wealth and talent, but her status as a woman has always made her have no qualifications to talk about in the family. Zhuo Yucheng's words made Fu Qingqing's heart suddenly warm, and then a little joy was added to his eyebrows, and he said: "Qingqing thinks that using Yang Ming as the point of attack is indeed a good way. But according to what Qingqing heard, Yang Ming is upright when he says it is good, and if it is ugly, it is oil and salt that do not enter. In official business, he is unremitting, fair and honest, this private matter is really stupid and stupid, and he can't be enlightened. If you really want to start with him, you need to have a good entry point to get some useful information from him. When he said that Yang Ming was stupid and stupid like a donkey, a look of uncertainty flashed in Fu Qingqing's eyes.
Zhuo Yucheng saw Fu Qingqing's demeanor in his eyes, but he didn't remind him, as if he didn't notice it, after hearing Fu Qingqing's words, he nodded, Yang Ming This person, when he talked to Mu Tiantuo, he heard about it, such a person who seems to be unable to enter oil and salt, must have a secret that belongs to him in his heart. Reaching into his arms, he took out the bamboo strip given by Fat Zhao and put it on the table.
The bamboo strip lying quietly on the table caused Fu Qingqing's face to be puzzled, and Xin Yao was curious. Looking at Xin Yao beside him, who was eager to try and couldn't wait to know the content of the bamboo strips, a warm color flashed in Zhuo Yucheng's eyes.
"Shenwujun, what is this?" Fu Qingqing asked, her intuition told her that the news inside the bamboo strip was extraordinary.
"The news contained in this bamboo strip was collected by the people under the Yucheng faction, and it was all related to Yang Ming. Yang Ming was born in a poor family, and many news were difficult to inquire in the court, so he had to ask Zhao Fatzi and the group of children under him to explore around the people.
Fu Qingqing was stunned, she didn't expect that Zhuo Yucheng would let people search for all clues about Yang Ming among the people, and the hand on her side couldn't help but clench the corner of her clothes slightly.
"This bamboo strip jade has not been dismantled since I got it, and it is not clear what kind of deeds Yang Ming has recorded in it. Thinking that since today, I made an appointment with Miss Qingqing to come to Hongyun Building to discuss, why don't I bring it and take a look together, what does the girl think?" Zhuo Yucheng smiled politely on his face and looked at Fu Qingqing.
Fu Qingqing stared at the bamboo strip, with a slight apprehension in her heart. If everything about Yang Ming is really found out in that bamboo strip, I don't know if Yang Ming will have a grudge against her after he knows about it...
"Miss Qingqing, what's wrong with you?" Xin Yao saw that Fu Qingqing's expression was different, and said with concern.
Zhuo Yucheng also looked concerned and asked, "Miss Qingqing, are you feeling unwell?" When Yang Ming was mentioned, Fu Qingqing's expression was different from usual, and now when she saw this bamboo strip, it was another gaffe, and there must be some connections between her and Yang Ming that are not known to outsiders.
Fu Qingqing came back to his senses in the call of the two, calmed down, reached out and picked up the bamboo strip on the table, carefully opened it, took out the paper roll inside, and unfolded it.
Yang Ming was born in a poor family, bright since childhood, love to read, once had a wife to accompany him through those days of hard study, the two are very affectionate, harmonious. Who knows, just a year after he was admitted to the fame, several bureaucrats died violently at home, the cause of death is unknown, the emperor ordered a thorough investigation, and all kinds of clues point to an unexpected person, Yang Ming's wife. Yang Ming's wife was wanted by the government for her crime and eventually committed suicide. Yang Ming never believed that his wife was guilty, she has always been gentle and demure, kind-hearted, never killing, let alone killing, after his wife's death, he tried his best to track down the bloody case of the year, every time he encountered a key clue, he would always be blocked by others, so there was no progress. To this day, he is still persistently following every clue about that tragedy.
"Unexpectedly, this Yang Ming is still a seed of infatuation. Xin Yao was amazed, a man did his best for his deceased wife, he was really a person who valued love and righteousness.
Fu Qingqing put down the note and fell into deep thought, she didn't know that he had a wife before, and she also knew that he was busy with the bloody case of the slaughter of the official, she had never involved these two things together, and now it seems that his love for the first lady is really as deep as the sea. This made her heart tingle unbearably.
"yes, I didn't expect him to be able to do this for her. Fu Qingqing sighed lightly, no wonder, no wonder she made such an obvious statement to him, and he never gave her half a response. She lowered her head, her eyes fixed on the note, and she didn't respond.
"Miss Qingqing... Xin Yao looked at Fu Qingqing's appearance and called softly, but Zhuo Yucheng held it down with one hand and shook her head to signal her not to say much. just sat quietly on the side, waiting for Fu Qingqing to recover her emotions, and see what her attitude was.
After a long time, Fu Qingqing looked up at Zhuo Yucheng, his face had returned to normal, and he did not lose his mind at all: "Shenwu Jun, Miss Xinyao, Qingqing lost her temper, which made the two of you laugh." ”
"It doesn't matter. Zhuo Yucheng shook his hand, signaling that Fu Qingqing didn't need to mind.
After thinking for a moment, Fu Qingqing seemed to have made up her mind, and said to Zhuo Yucheng and Xinyao: "If you don't mind, you might as well listen to Qingqing tell a story." ”
Thinking that it was related to Yang Ming, Zhuo Yucheng knew in his heart, no matter what, in this way, Fu Qingqing could be regarded as indicating her position, and perhaps, it was impossible to say if there were other discoveries. Looking at Xin Yao again, she couldn't hold back for a long time, and she was ready to listen to Fu Qingqing speak.
"Girl, please speak, let's listen to you. ”
Fu Qingqing nodded, and then said: "It was the spring of two years ago, at the beginning of spring, it was the beginning of the colorful season, I discussed with my father, in the study, with spring as the theme, a grand poetry meeting, but all literati and scholars can participate, regardless of the family. That was the first time I met him. "Presumably that he is Yang Ming, Zhuo Yucheng thought to himself.
That year, his talent began to emerge and he won the first place above the poetry club. But the children of the family were overwhelmed by a poor man, and he was naturally resentful in his heart, and after the poetry meeting, the children of the family were in public and embarrassed him. I thought he would rise up and resist, but who knows, but he endured it one by one, and the people in the poor family were all upset and unhappy for him, but he was indifferent, as if all the ridicule and insults were related to him carelessly. At that time, I became a little curious about him, and asked the rest of the people about him. They said that Yang Mingqi was a person with a hard temperament and would rather bend than bend, and it was reasonable to say that such a person would fight on the basis of reason when he was humiliated, but today it was greatly unexpected by them. ”
What people can't endure must be very human, Yang Ming is destined to be an extraordinary character. Zhuo Yucheng commented in his heart, in this way, this person, he really wanted to recruit him into his command.
"And what about later?" Xin Yao asked, wouldn't she just put up with it.
Later, after a period of time, those sons and brothers who bullied him touched their heads one after another, I don't know whether it was providence or retribution, some were expelled from Taixue for schoolwork, some were punished for bullying people and thought about it behind closed doors, and some were whipped and injured and bedridden for half a month because of their insulting style. ”
"Hehe, this scholar, it's quite interesting. Xin Yao covered her mouth and chuckled.
Fu Qingqing recalled this, and also smiled on his face: "He is indeed smart, these children of the family, each of them staggered the time, and no one thought that it was his hand, otherwise, he would have to suffer." ”
"Miss Qingqing, look at the look you look at when you mentioned Yang Ming, you wouldn't be... Fu Qingqing was said by Xin Yao's two words, and the blush on her face appeared.
"Ouch!" Xin Yao was lightly knocked on the head by Zhuo Yucheng, holding his head and exclaiming: "What are you doing beating me?"
"You girl, it's not light or heavy. Miss Qingqing, don't be surprised. Zhuo Yucheng scolded with a smile, and then bowed his hand to Fu Qingqing and saluted.
"It's okay, Miss Xinyao is just curious. Fu Qingqing smiled, looked at Xinyao holding her head, looked at her pitifully, and felt pity at the moment.
"That... Xin Yao still held her little head and moved to the side, for fear that Zhuo Yucheng would knock on the top of her head again, and asked Fu Qingqing, "Then I guess, right?"
Such a cute little girl provoked Fu Qingqing to laugh and said with a smile: "I guessed right, I am indeed happy with Yang Ming." "Like is like, there is nothing to hide, Fu Qingqing generously admitted her admiration for Yang Ming.
is so courageous, Xin Yao likes the woman in front of her at the moment, so she doesn't make it up, she likes it!
"Happy?" Zhuo Yucheng looked at Xin Yao from the side, this girl really made him helpless.
"Well, happy. Xin Yao nodded happily at Zhuo Yucheng.
Let Miss Qingqing smile. After making trouble for a while, Zhuo Yucheng's face turned positive: "Then Yang Ming's matter, Miss Qingqing... ”
"Shenwu Jun don't worry, Yang Ming, Qingqing will definitely not let you down" With Fu Qingqing's protection, I believe that things will not be bad.
"There's Miss Lao over there. ”
After noon, Zhuo Yucheng said goodbye to Fu Qingqing with Xinyao, came out of Hongyun Building, and walked in one direction.
"This... Isn't it the way back to the Flower Infernal Place?" Xin Yao looked left and right, this is the completely opposite direction to the Flower Infernal Circle, what tricks does Zhuo Yucheng have?
"Who told you that you want to go back to the flowers?" Zhuo Yucheng walked in front with his hands behind his back: "Let's go to the Lin family to see Master Lin." "Since the emperor has issued an order to reward Hua Wujian, presumably the Lin family has also received the same will, this Lin Xiao secretly returned to Beijing from his father, I'm afraid he has already been pierced, maybe how to be punished now, anyway, now that the matter is done, watch the excitement and have fun.
