Chapter 214: Life Matters (Part II)
The old lady pondered for a long time, "It's better to wait for Mingrui to come back and ask Mingrui, Mingrui should know best when he is running errands outside, we can't mess up in our own house first, in case a lot of things happen to someone else." ”
Xue Chongyi still wanted to speak, but the second wife took the opportunity to stare at Xue Chongyi, and said with a smile: "The master is also in a hurry, a case of corruption of ink in the Ministry of Industry has implicated the master and lost his official position, I am afraid that he will be tired of Ming Rui again." ”
The old lady also said: "So you should be more careful, the old 2 was implicated in the ink corruption case before, and now that he has not been reinstated, he should not interfere in the affairs of the manual department, so as not to be known and say something else, and the gains outweigh the losses." When this is over, I will find a way to find someone to intercede for you. ”
There was no room for change in the old lady's words, Xue Chongyi had to nod, "Mother said yes." ”
The second wife looked at the obedient Rong Hua next to her with her eyes, and scolded in her heart, but her face made people unable to see the clues, and told the things in Chang Ningbo's mansion with a smile, but it was just to say how thoughtful Mrs. Chang Ningbo's Chu family took care of, and the fourth lady was much more beautiful than before.
Xue Chongyi took out the red post and handed it to the old lady to see, "This is an auspicious day for people to calculate the change of posts, and the mother circle will come out, and we will arrange it." ”
The old lady set the nearest day, and the second lady looked at it and laughed.
Xue Chongyi said with a smile: "There is another happy event to tell my mother, there is Ming Hao in the list of accompanying me this time." ”
The old lady was about to drink tea when she stopped when she heard this, "It's already decided?" Asked, Xue Chongyi took a sip of tea to moisten his lips.
Xue Chongyi said: "It's decided, although there are many people who serve with you, there are only a handful of people of Ming Wei's age." ”
The old lady also smiled, "I only became a pro-military academy last year, and I will have the opportunity to accompany you this year, and it is not easy, and when Mingwei comes back, you have to give more instructions." ”
Xue Chongyi smiled and nodded, "My son understands." ”
The second wife was also a little proud when she drank tea.
The old lady remembered what happened to Yishuang and Yiwan, and asked Rong Hua, "How have Yishuang and Yiwan been studying with you these days?" What are you taught? ”
Rong Hua said with a smile: "Just reading books, such as "The Book of Female Filial Piety" and "The Biography of the Daughters", etc., also write writing notes and drawings. ”
The old lady asked, "Have you ever played chess?" ”
Rong Hua's face flushed slightly, "I can't look at the chess I play, Yishuang has learned some from my mother before, and I have played twice, but I lost all the games." ”
The old lady smiled heartily: "I have heard that you played a stinky chess hand a long time ago," said and deliberately smiled, "That's fine, next time you grind Mingrui to play chess with you, look at his methods." ”
Rong Hua smiled: "The old lady made fun of me. ”
The old lady smiled kindly, "Learning these beneficial and harmless things is raised by scholars to know the rules, unlike some families who teach some piano and music, after all, it is not something that everyone should learn." ”
Rong Hua laughed when he heard this.
Xue Chongyi and the second wife glanced at each other, knowing that the old lady did not mean to leave them to speak alone.
Sure enough, after a few words, the old lady felt tired and wanted to go into the house to rest.
Xue Chongyi and the second wife got up to say goodbye, and the old lady left Rong Hua, "Come with me to the house and let Xue Yu bring you a few books, so that you can teach the five girls and the six girls." ”
Rong Hua stepped forward and helped the old lady into the inner suite.
The old lady got on the kang and leaned on the pillow, Rong Hua took off the old lady's shoes, and then went on the kang to pinch the old lady's legs.
The old lady opened her mouth for a long time and said, "Some of what your second uncle said is true. ”
Rong Hua's hand stopped slightly.
The old lady continued: "The emperor has been reigning for many years, and he has raised troops on the frontier and purged internal affairs in the court. I looked at it, the emperor seemed to want to rectify the rule of officials......" said and glanced at Rong Hua, "Su Xiyao's case, if the Ministry of Industry's corruption of ink is not the case of the Holy Will, it can't be done." ”
Rong Hua nodded, "So Hou Ye would rather not find out after taking this case, and he can't just protect himself, and he will involve anyone at will, but he will refute the holy will." ”
The old lady's eyes lit up and she looked at Rong Hua.
Rong Hua said: "Don't worry, old lady, Master Hou already has a plan." ”
The old lady nodded, "It's rare that both of you are proper people. ”
……
Second Mrs. Xue entered the house, opened the box in her hand and saw the hosta inside, her eyes closed disdainfully, and closed the box, "What's the matter if it goes on like this, you dare to talk back in front of you, the eldest brother is gone, you are a serious elder in this family, she didn't let her speak, she opened her mouth and said, this is no other juniors present, if someone else is there," he said, raising his chin, "I see where your face is going to be." ”
Xue Chongyi's eyebrows suddenly erected, "What do you want me to do?" My mother has already said this, what can I do? ”
Second Mrs. Xue sneered: "If it's not based on Mingrui, your errand will be lost, and Mingrui's will not be lost." ”
Xue Chongyi snorted, "What do you know as a woman, you can't tell for a moment what is going on in the court." ”
Second Mrs. Xue stepped forward and smiled: "But Chang Ningbo promised the master?" ”
Xue Chongyi glanced at the second wife, "It's already a child's family, what promises are not promised." ”
When the second wife heard this, she smiled.
Ren's mother brought a bowl of almonds to Xue Chongyi, and the second wife took it to Xue Chongyi to eat.
Xue Chongyi ate and went into the inner room to rest and lay on the kang. The second wife said: "If you don't listen to the master's advice, something will happen sooner or later, don't look at my mother's spoiled Mingrui, and you will naturally know when the time comes." ”
Xue Chongyi said: "How many people are staring at wanting to make meritorious contributions, if someone takes the lead, can he not be implicated?" ”
The second wife sighed, "Okay, the master's words have been said, and he can only listen to it or not." ”
……
Rong Hua had dinner, and Xue Mingrui returned to the house.
Rong Hua went to the suite to change Xue Mingrui's clothes, "Has Master Hou eaten?" ”
Xue Mingrui said: "Yali has eaten it." ”
Rong Hua said: "I asked someone to bring a bowl of almond tea to Hou Ye, which is also good to relieve the heat." As he spoke, he asked Chun Yao to bring almond tea.
Xue Mingrui took the almond tea and drank it.
Rong Hua talked about Xue Chongyi, "The second uncle and the second aunt came back and said this, presumably someone already knew about it in advance." "It stands to reason that few people should know about this matter, how could it be easily inquired by Xue Chongyi, the only possibility is that someone deliberately let Xue Chongyi know.
Xue Mingrui's eyes sank.
Rong Hua said: "I'm afraid it won't go so smoothly to Prince An's Mansion tomorrow." ”
Since someone has already set his sights on him, he will not give up such a good opportunity, and take advantage of Xue Mingrui's time in Prince An's mansion to expose the corruption of ink and silver in Prince An's mansion, so that it will be difficult for either Prince An or Xue Mingrui to get out again.
The only way to do that is to be prepared before then.
Xue Mingrui said: "Tomorrow, I will ask Prince An what the prince means, if the prince can come forward first and make it clear in front of the emperor, the rest will be easy to do," he said, raising his head to look at Rong Hua, "In this matter, Prince An himself may not have found out how much silver there is in his mansion, whether it is the silver of the Ministry of Industry." Now it seems that there is no need to look it up. ”
Things have developed to this point, and the money that the Ministry of Industry is greedy for ink must be in Prince An's Mansion.
Besides, whoever has an indescribable sum of money in their house must be suspected first.
Rong Hua smiled slightly, "Does Master Hou still have official documents to read?" ”
Xue Mingrui smiled: "Don't look at it, I was in my grandmother's house just now, and my grandmother said let me play a game of chess with you." ”
Rong Hua was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the faint smile on Xue Mingrui's face, "It's easy for Master Hou to win against me, but it's difficult to play chess." ”
Xue Mingrui's eyes flashed with a sly light, "Since it's so difficult, I'll ask for some color heads." ”
Rong Hua's face suddenly turned red.
I have never played such a chess game, and the chess pieces I laid out were attacked and plundered, and I was still a little happy in my heart, seeing that a large number of chess pieces had died, I was even provocatively proud, and she couldn't play a draw, she was going to lose.
Who knew that he stopped in the next half of the game, the chess pieces were obviously going to fall on the vital point, but the slender fingers just turned and fell to the side, and now she didn't want the chess pieces, she didn't want to, and she was itchy all of a sudden.
The indecision made her bite her lip.
I have to go to Prince An's Mansion tomorrow, I originally wanted to rest early with her evacuation, but who knew that a game of chess forced out a lot of small actions that he had never seen.
Sometimes pinching his earlobe, sometimes biting his lip, sometimes looking at him sadly.
She didn't want to play good chess, but who knew but was guided by him step by step, seeing that a large piece of chess pieces had already worked, she was reluctant to give up, and finally put the chess pieces there, biting him a large piece of white, and her heart could not hide her excitement.
The softer he was, the more she wanted to attack, and her heart was elated, almost forgetting that he was the formidable Wu Muhou.
At the end of a game of chess, he was losing and retreating, and he was about to lose.
Her smile crept up her cheeks, and she couldn't make a draw even if she blindly backed down.
Who knows that the final count is a good draw.
Seeing Xue Mingrui curl his lips, Rong Hua stretched out his hand and took out a white piece on the chessboard, "Master Hou lost." ”
Xue Mingrui smiled slightly, "I'll take a look." ”
Rong Hua stretched out his hand, but his fingers were held by Xue Mingrui, and the whole person was picked up at once.
Rong Hua's face flushed, "Master Hou lost." ”
Xue Mingrui bowed his head, "It's a loss," he said in a soft voice, "I should always win once." ”
I don't know if he was suppressed by the game of chess just now, but suddenly he poured out, gently ripped off the belt of her clothes, her clothes were half faded, his breathing became short, his slender eyelids were slightly ruddy, and his legs were lightly topped, and he was ready to fly. Rong Hua remembered that he was playing chess just now, and he didn't know how his heart beat faster.
He took advantage of this time to suddenly invade, the cold collision made her close her legs, the slender legs rubbed against his waist, his slender eyes trembled and went a little deeper, and her body seemed to be ignited, "suddenly" burned.
Usually all kinds of tenderness lingering, but tonight turned into stormy waves, she rushed into the sea like a flat boat, was thrown up and put down high, difficult to support, only stretched out her hand to hug him tightly and whispered his name.
……
The next day, Hibiscus and Jinxiu put away the chess pieces, and Hibiscus and Jinxiu watched the chess game for a long time, and the two girls were a little surprised, "The young lady used black chess, and black won the chess piece." ”
Remembering the ...... caused by this game of chess last night
Rong Hua simply didn't pick up the girl's words.
Who knows that Hongyu, who was cleaning up the bed, said "Huh", "Why is there a black chess piece on the bed?" ”
Jinxiu and Hibiscus looked at each other and smiled.
Rong Hua invited the old lady to An, and Rong Hua went to Mrs. Xue's house to talk about going to Prince An's mansion in the evening, "Wait for the Hou Ye to come back and go with the Hou Ye." ”
Mrs. Xue was still a little worried, and asked Rong Hua in a low voice, "Will there be anything?" ”
Rong Hua comforted: "Mother, don't worry, there is a Hou Ye." ”
Only then did Mrs. Xue loosen her brows.
As soon as Rong Hua returned to the house, Feng Lichang's family came in and said, "Young lady, Second Grandma Shi is here with the little young master." ”
Second Grandma Shi came with Shi Jinzhou?
Rong Hua smiled: "Invite someone in." ”
Shi Er's grandmother was wearing a maroon dark flower gown, and Shi Jinzhou also wore a royal blue robe for Jinxiu to lead into the house.
Second Grandma Shi saw Rong Hua hurriedly stepping forward to salute, and looked at Shi Jinzhou with a smile, "Brother Jin, hurry up and salute the young lady." ”
Shi Jinzhou's big eyes looked at Rong Hua for a while, and then he stepped forward and saluted in a proper manner.
Rong Hua hurriedly said: "Good boy." "I also invited Second Grandma Shi and Brother Jin to sit down.
Shi Jinzhou's gaze never left Rong Hua, and Rong Hua also looked at Shi Jinzhou, "How is Brother Jin's injury?" The spirit seems to be much better. ”
Shi Er's grandmother said: "The injuries on my body are not serious, I can finally eat some food these days." ”
Rong Hua nodded, "That's good." ”
Second Grandma Shi was a little embarrassed, "The young lady has helped so much, but we have nothing to reciprocate......"
Rong Hua said with a smile: "Second grandma is polite, as long as you bring Brother Jin to sit in the future." ”
Grandma Shi Er smiled embarrassedly.
Shi Jinzhou sank his face on the side, and after a long time, he raised his head to look at the smiling Rong Hua, "My father and grandfather must not be able to come back?" ”
Rong Hua put away the smile on his face and said softly: "Brother Jin is still young, and he will understand when he grows up in the future." ”
Shi Jinzhou nodded as if he understood, bit his lip and made up his mind, "I have something I want to tell the young lady......"
……
In the afternoon, Rong Hua stopped everything in preparation, Xue Mingrui went into the mansion to change clothes, and the two of them went to Prince An's mansion together.
On the way, Rong Hua asked Xue Mingrui in a low voice, "Has the Hou Ye seen Prince An's son?" ”
Xue Mingrui shook his head, "Today, the prince did not go to the office, and said that he was sick from heat stroke at home." ”
Originally, I wanted to explore the meaning of Prince An's son first, but I didn't expect that the prince would be "sick" today.
It seems that Prince An must see Xue Mingrui before speaking.
Seeing that everyone said that I had plot problems, I also knew that I had some deficiencies in this area, and I liked Gu Long's and pen style, and then I read a lot of Western masterpieces, and the writing had some stream of consciousness, and gradually groped for as rigorous as possible, but there were still deficiencies, and only slowly exercised later. The first time I wrote such a mansion article, it is not the kind of pure alternate history, I learn while writing, thank you very much for your support, I hope that there will be shortcomings in the future, everyone can discuss together. Thank you.
