After Hua Wuying left, Izumi forced herself to calm down and analyze. Now that Shen Yu is on an errand in the Criminal Department, and he is about to deal with the Ming family, he shouldn't be so impulsive. The Yun family is his backing, if he leaves Xiangrong at this time, without the identity of the Yun family's aunt, and the Wenchang Marquis Mansion falls again, the Ming family will scruple to take him without scruples.

Moreover, he Shen Yu and Helian Qi have openly fallen out, this beam has already been formed, and now if he wants to get rid of it with Xiang Rong, he will only put himself in a dangerous situation, which will do more harm than good...... As smart as Shen Yu, he must have thought of the stakes involved.

With such an analysis, Izuku couldn't hold it back anymore. For the sake of Shen Yu's future and net worth, even if Yun Xiangrong is too much, she will not allow them to make peace and leave! Presumably, Yun Xiangrong also grasped this sore spot, so he sent someone back to report to Hua Wuying, and asked Hua Wuying to beg for him.

The most powerful means in the world is not to be forced to do something you don't like; But he knew that he didn't like it, and he had to do it willingly. From this point of view, Yun Xiangrong is the most intelligent woman.

Izuku sat alone for an afternoon, and only after the sound of the rain became less and less in the evening did he call Zhuying and ask, "In the past, when my uncle lived in Yanlan City, he bought a house here, and now there are reliable people to stay here?" ”

Zhuying thought back for a moment, nodded and replied: "Yes, once upon a time, there was a little guy named 'Qingyi' who has been following his uncle to do things, and he was very loyal. Later, my uncle escaped from Yanlan City alone, and Qingyi has been taking care of the house for my uncle. ”

The name "Qingyi" has been mentioned by Shen Yu, in the past, every time he came to Yunfu to see him, he would take this little guy with him, and now the Wenchang Hou Mansion is scattered, this little guy is willing to stay and take care of the house for Shen Yu, and he stayed for more than two years, which shows that he is also a reliable person.

It just so happens that there is a shortage of manpower around Shen Yu now...... Izuku thought for a while, and then said to Zhuying: "You ask him if he is willing to follow his uncle, if he is willing, let him come over to see me tomorrow morning." ”

Early the next morning, Qingyi waited in front of the Yunfu Gate with sincere fear. By the time Takekage found out about this, he had been waiting outside for nearly an hour, and his body was cold. Zhuying brought him into Zhiyanxuan, and the hot tea and hot water warmed up for a long time, and Qingyi eased up.

"You wait here, Madame will come at once." Zhuying only explained this sentence, and went to Qingxinzhai to ask for Xiu.

All morning, Izuku has been writing here, writing and tearing, tearing and rewriting, tossing back and forth for an hour, before writing a few words concisely: "The lintel is big, idle things are small, don't be impulsive, guard against arrogance and rashness." ”

Originally, she wrote a lot of heartfelt words at length, but she tore it up herself, she was afraid that it would backfire, and then gave Shen Yu useless hope; If you want to find out that you don't want him to reconcile with Yun Xiangrong, you are afraid that Shen Yu will pick on him in anger and cause some trouble. Thinking about it, she could only write these sixteen words to hint at him.

When Zhuying entered Qingxinzhai, he saw at a glance that Xiu was writing a letter, and the bookcase was full of discarded letterheads, crumpled into a ball, which showed the contradictions and entanglements of the person who wrote the letter.

"Madam, Qingyi is here." Bamboo Shadow said outside the door.

At the right time, Izuku wrote the envelope, put the letter in it, and beckoned Zhuying to come in: "You seal this credit fire." She paused for a moment and then asked, "In the past, there were two mandarin duck daggers from the Hou Ye, one inlaid with ruby and the other inlaid with emerald...... Where are these daggers now? ”

"When I packed up the relics of the Hou Ye, they were all put aside. Madame wants to find out? Zhu Ying knew that those daggers were a big wedding gift from Shen Yu to his master Yun Ci.

Over the years, Izuku deliberately didn't think about those daggers, but now, he still has to use them. She pondered for a moment and said, "You instructed Danxin to find the dagger and send it to me in a moment." After that, he got up and went to the living room of Zhiyanxuan.

I haven't seen him for more than two years, and the childish little guy who hasn't taken off at the beginning now looks much more stable, and Izuku has seen Qingyi a few times, and he is not polite, and he asked him with a smile when he entered the door: "Now there are seventeen or eighteen?" ”

Qingyi immediately got up from his seat and said respectfully: "Mrs. Hui, I'll be eighteen soon." ”

Izuku nodded and said straight to the point: "You have also heard about the Marquis of Wenchang's mansion, when my uncle left Yanlan City, it was full of dangers, and he didn't take you, it has been difficult for you to guard the house for him in the past two years, and he can be regarded as loyal." ”

Izuku paused, looked at Qingyi's honest face, and said, "I heard my uncle mention that although you are young, you are very measured. Now I ask a question, and you have to answer truthfully...... If you don't want to follow him anymore, I can give you a sum of money to fend for yourself, or arrange a future for you; If you are still willing to follow him, I will send you to Jingzhou. ”

Qingyi obviously didn't think so long-term, and hesitated for a while: "When the little marquis left, he only told the servants to take care of the house for him, and he said that he would come back sooner or later...... As for the rest, the minions didn't think so much. ”

"It's not easy. As soon as the Marquis of Wenchang fell, how many people have dissociated themselves from it, and you can still guard his house for the past two years, and you can be regarded as a loyal servant. Out of Xiu sighed lightly: "You think clearly, now that my uncle is out of the Criminal Department, he is about to make a career, and it is the time when there is a shortage of people around him." If you follow him, this affliction is incomparable to others. ”

When it came to this, Qingyi also understood, and immediately knelt down and said: "The slave was redeemed by the little marquis, and the family was seriously ill at the beginning, and the little marquis cured it...... This kindness must be repaid by the slave as a cow and a horse. ”

Qingyi was a little incoherent with excitement, but Izumi understood, so she nodded and said, "Very good." But you need to remember that he is no longer Shen Xiaohou Ye, and you can't call him that anymore. Jingzhou is not as good as Yanlan City, and a careless sentence will lead to death. ”

Qingyi replied cautiously: "The slave has written it down, and the slave only thinks that he is the master, not the little Marquis Shen." ”

Izumi was very satisfied with Qingyi's performance, and finally gave a combination of grace and might: "Since you promised me today, you will serve your uncle well in the future." Whoever dares to have two hearts...... Do you know how powerful my Yun clan is? ”

Qingyi hurriedly kowtowed: "Please rest assured, Madame." ”

"Go back, and someone will take care of your uncle's house. I'll give you a day to pack your luggage, and I'll send someone to take you to Jingzhou tomorrow. "Out of Xiu's last life.

Qingyi left Yunfu with a thousand thanks. After he left, Zhu Ying insisted on a brocade box and entered, and said to Izuku: "The two daggers you are looking for have been found." The letter was sealed. ”

Out of Xiu took the brocade box and opened it, two daggers were lying quietly in it, the dagger body was dazzling, the gems were dazzling, and the faint cold light could be felt before they were unsheathed. The word "love" and the word "deep" are engraved on the two daggers respectively, like the most powerful spell in the world, trapping a man's heart and his life.

Out of Xiusu's hand gently stroked the word "deep love", and put the letter into the brocade box. She felt a bitterness welling up in her throat, but she still forcibly instructed Zhu Ying: "Tomorrow, you arrange for someone to send Qingyi to Beijing, and let him be sure to hand over this box to Shen Yu." ”

As he spoke, Izuku took out the seal from his sleeve and gave it to Zhuying: "Take my seal letter to the account office to pay 1,000 taels of silver tickets to Qingyi, so that he can serve his master in the future." ”

Hearing this, Zhuying took the order, stepped forward to take the brocade box from Izuxiu's hand, turned around and retreated. It wasn't until he walked out of the door that another voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Come back." ”

Zhuying turned around and walked back to Xiu's side: "What else does Madame command?" ”

He asked, and for a long time he didn't hear any movement. After a long time, I saw Chuxiu take out a dagger inlaid with rubies from the brocade box, and ordered again: "Go down." For some reason, Zhu Ying actually heard the cowardice and choking of the Yun family's housewife from these three short words.

After all, he didn't say much, and insisted on the brocade box and retired again. The lid of the box still remained open, and the bamboo shadow looked down, and only one of the two daggers in the box was left, although it was lonely, but the streamer was extremely dazzling. The letter written by Izuku himself was placed on it, and the place covered it happened to be the word "love" on the handle of the dagger.

*****

Half a month passed after sending Qingyi away, and Nie Peixiao also returned to Jingzhou. The second lady Yun Muge's marriage is imminent, and she is so tired that she is in a hurry. At the end of September, Yun Muge officially married to the Ye family in Quzhou, and the Yun family's dowry was full of 200 lifts, and the cage of the golden silk nanmu was uniformly covered with ice silk red silk, and it was carried to her husband's house in a mighty way, and it was a beautiful talk in Fangzhou and Quzhou for a while.

After that, Yun Xian sent a letter from home, in which it was mentioned that Shen Yu and Yun Xiangrong had reconciled, and did not mention the matter of reconciliation and separation.

In the winter, the housekeeper Yun Zhong suddenly fell seriously ill, and before he died, he recommended his nephew Yun Feng to take his place: "The old slave has worked hard for Yunfu all his life, and now he can go to Jiuquan to continue to serve the two marquis." Since Zhuying is reluctant to take this position, the old slave wants his nephew Yunfeng to take over......"

Yun Zhong lingered on the sickbed and cried in his old tears: "My nephew's ability is not to say, he has been watching and learning from the old slave since he was a child, and he knows a lot." I don't dare to comment on his ability, but he is infatuated with Madame, and Madame can use him for this alone, and he will not betray you. ”

If Yun Zhong didn't mention it, Izumi would almost forget that Yun Feng had asked Yun Ci to marry him twice before. It is said that Yun Zhong has done his best for Yunfu all his life, and his merits have always outweighed his faults, whether he is out of selfishness or loyalty, Chuxiu can't bear to refuse his request, and only said: "The position of the housekeeper of Yunfu is not trivial, I will discuss this matter with Mrs. Tai." ”

As if he had expected Mrs. Tai to agree, Yun Zhong wiped his tears and smiled: "Good, good!" Her old man would have agreed. My nephew lost his wife in the spring of this year and is now widowed. If Madame does not dislike it, give him another continuation, and it will be good to break his thoughts about you. Let him be used by you from now on. ”

"Okay." Izuku was not used to the scene of life and death, and his heart softened and agreed. The next day, Yun Zhong died of illness. Chuxiu mentioned the intention of recommending Yun Feng, and Mrs. Tai really did not object.

Another New Year in Yunfu, because of the absence of the old housekeeper Yun Zhong, Izuku always felt that something was missing. After the fifteenth day of the first month, Yun Feng officially took office and took over the internal affairs of Yunfu.

After another month, news came from Jingzhou that Empress Mingzhen was stripped of her position for the crime of "immorality" and demoted to a concubine; Immediately afterwards, the right minister Mingcheng embezzled the state treasury, bought and sold officials, murdered important officials and other secret affairs were exposed one by one, and he was punished with capital punishment for several crimes.

The Ming clan used a lot of manpower and material resources to finally get the regent Nie Peihan to compromise and save the lives of the other clansmen. The only remaining eldest son Mingzhang and daughter-in-law Mingying were not punished. However, the status of the Ming clan plummeted, and he became the door of criminal ministers from the descendants, and his in-laws, the Helian clan, were also implicated, and his reputation was not as good as before.

At the same time, the secretary of the Criminal Department was placed on probation, and the waiter of the Criminal Department, Helianqi, said that he was sick at home, and Shen was ordered to temporarily take the post of the head of the Criminal Department, and tried the case together with Dali Temple.

Jingzhou is changing, the wind and clouds are dense, and the court cleaning is about to start.
