Chapter 314: Sister and Sister
Wen Hui glanced at the remaining half of the tea in the tea bowl, and looked at Wen Yi with a frown: "Ninth sister, if you have something to say, just say it, could it be that you are here to drink tea with me?" I really don't know what you're hesitating about, I really don't want to say it, just go back, I still have ** to copy."
Wen Yi pursed her lips and put down the tea bowl. It's not that she doesn't act simply, but her worries about the East Palace's intentions, strictly speaking, can be traced back to her entanglement with Zhu Jingshen, the son of the former King Kang, she asked herself that she had never acted out of the ordinary, but being coveted by others was itself a kind of tarnish on the innocent reputation of her daughter's family. Although she has changed her opinion of Wen Hui a little, she has not yet reached the point of complete trust, and she does not dare to easily confess the cause of the matter.
However, apart from Wen Hui, she couldn't think of anyone else who could help her solve her doubts. Jiang Yao is far away in Jinnan, Li Chunxu is preparing to get married, and she has only been in Beijing for more than a year, and she is the daughter of Jiangmen, so she may not be clear about the various complex personnel relationships in Beijing. And my grandmother, Mrs. Lu, is afraid that she doesn't know as much about the situation in the capital as she does. Therefore, she walked into the guest house on impulse.
After much deliberation, Wen Yi decided to remain silent. As Liu Dongxing said before leaving, it is impossible for the prince to dispose of him casually, no matter whether he goes to the East Palace to be evil or auspicious, when he comes back, everything will be clear, and she will definitely be by his side, whether it is a blessing or a curse, it will be borne with him.
Thinking of this, she stood up and said with a smile: "Excuse me the sixth sister, and my sister will retire." If my sister wants to copy the scriptures, please take care of your body and don't get tired. "Then he was going to leave.
Wen Hui glared and put the tea bowl on the table heavily: "Are you a kid?" If you have something to say, where do you have so many concerns about farting fast? Didn't someone from the East Palace call the ninth brother-in-law? What is there to worry about? This is a good thing, there are many young talents like the ninth brother-in-law in the capital, I wish His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could look at them a few more times, and they can be called by the East Palace, and they will wake up with a smile when they sleep. Or is it that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a tiger and will eat your man? β
Wen Yi glared at her back, angry in her heart, and blurted out: "You don't know anything, why are you laughing at me?" β
"So what are you worried about?" Wen Hui's eyes widened, "I know you don't look down on me, but you ...... to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Hmph, it's not that I'm boasting, it's really a hundred times clearer than you, don't you want to know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will do to your man? Then tell me honestly, what trouble did the ninth brother-in-law have? Or have you offended the prince? I heard that you still have some friendship with the crown princess, but you are still so worried, it must not be a small sin, right? β
Wen Yi tried to calm down, and said in a muffled voice: "No, if saving the crown princess once is not considered to offend the prince, then neither Xianggong nor I have ever offended the prince, but ...... It's just ......," she bit her lip, "it's just that we have inadvertently had a grudge against the people around the prince." At the beginning of the year, Xianggong Wuju High School, logically speaking, should have been given a military position to guard the place, but for no reason was sent to the battlefield, and also entered the most dangerous Jingnan camp, I heard that it was the order of the East Palace that we should not be careful, this kind of thing, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not know, it is false. Now that Xianggong has not only come back safely, but also made meritorious contributions and been promoted, if that person is dissatisfied, he will harm Xianggong again, and Xianggong will go to the East Palace, I don't know what danger will be."
A hint of surprise flashed in Wen Hui's eyes, and she hurriedly asked, "Who are you offending?" Tell me, maybe you recognize it? β
Wen Yi glanced at her cautiously and shook her head: "It's better not to say it." This person has some identities, and he has a lot of affection with His Royal Highness the Prince. Sixth sister, you don't know, it's not a bad thing. β
Wen Hui pursed her lips, thought for a while, and asked, "When did you offend that person?" Before the ninth brother-in-law took the exam? Haven't you been to the palace? I heard my mother say, you also met the crown princess, if the prince really wants to find you bad luck, the princess didn't mention anything? Although I am not familiar with Du Yuanru, I have also heard of her personality, if the prince really intends to deal with you, she will definitely remind you secretly. β
The crown princess did remind her, not only her, but even the prince also mentioned this matter Wen Yi thought about it and said cryptically: "Yes, yes, it is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not dissatisfied with Xiang Gong in front of people, and he also said that he sent Xiang Gong to the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang because he appreciated Xiang Gong's outstanding performance in the martial arts examination - when Xiang Gong was preparing for the exam, he had put a lot of effort into the war situation in Northern Xinjiang and the customs of the barbarians, so although archery was slightly inferior, it was still very eye-catching overall." β
"That's it." Wen Hui picked up the tea bowl again, her expression relaxed, "I'm sure that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have no intention of harming the ninth brother-in-law, even if the person next to him really slandered and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the ninth brother-in-law being sent to the frontier to borrow a knife to kill people, he would definitely not say it explicitly." The prince is not stupid, no matter how favored the people around him are, they don't dare to interfere in business, which is taboo. Unless the ninth brother-in-law offends the minister that the prince relies on very much, or the great Confucian whom he really respects, it has to be your side to blame, otherwise he is too lazy to deal with a small person, but the prince is the prince, how can he have such a small amount of energy? β
Wen Yi was a little surprised when he heard this: "So, even if there are people around His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who want to put the public to death, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not let him mess around?" "Think about it, Zhu Jingshen is neither an important minister in the court, nor a famous teacher, and it was a fluke to ask him to succeed last time, and if you think about it again, it will be impossible to succeed.
Wen Hui smiled: "Although I don't know who your husband and wife offended, I can be sure that he was able to get the ninth brother-in-law to the battlefield last time, it was just a blind cat touching a dead mouse." Maybe he just praised the ability of the ninth brother-in-law, so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince felt that he could promote a few young talents and increase his own weight, so that he persuaded His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to issue that order. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to deal with the ninth brother-in-law himself, he doesn't need to spend so much effort, not to mention anything else, as long as he doesn't let the ninth brother-in-law be on the list during the examination, or after he is on the list, send him to the ravines and ravines to be a little military attache who doesn't care about anything, and he won't be able to get ahead in his life, isn't it simple? If you get people to go to the Jingnan camp, naturally half of them may die, but half of them may come back alive, and although there are many people who die in the Jingnan camp and have made many meritorious contributions, most of those who can come back alive will be promoted. If there is an easy way to take revenge on someone, why gamble on that half of the possibility? It can be seen that your enemy is not a shameful person, so rest assured."
Wen Yi put down half of the big stone in her heart, and when she faced Wen Hui, the smile on her face was also a little sincere: "Thank you, sister." As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not dissatisfied with the Prime Minister, no matter how much resentment other people have, it will be okay. β
Wen Hui glanced at her: "What a big deal, it's worth your fear." That's why I said, you have seen less of the world, and you don't know much about the affairs of the court, so you have such ridiculous thoughts. You are not a prince and grandson, a son of a famous family, before the Northern Expedition, others knew who he was? An unknown person, what kind of person is the prince? If you want to deal with a Liu Dongxing, where is it necessary to work so hard? If a year or two ago, when he was still the third prince, he had not gained a firm foothold in the court, and he was competing with a few brothers, he might have some worries, for fear that someone would seize the handle. Now that the saint has been ill for a long time, among all the adult princes, those who are in the domain are in the domain, and the one who is derogatory is still in the palace, with great power in his hands, and his storage position is stable, what do you want to do? Ninth sister: When he was a child of the little family we met in Pingyang? For a little grudge, just hold a grudge for a lifetime? β
Wen Yi gritted her teeth, even though she knew that she was too worried about this matter, but Wen Hui's words were really unpleasant, so she turned her head away slightly, and said: "Call the sixth sister to laugh at me, my sister is just from a small family, and I can't compare to my sister who is well-informed and intelligent."
"Are you burying me?" Wen Hui sneered, "If I were so smart, I wouldn't be in this situation todayβthis is what you really want to say in your heart, right?" β
Wen Yi closed her mouth tightly and looked away, ignoring her.
Wen Hui made a face for a while, and was also deflated: "Even if you really think so, it's true, I'm really not smart enough, but I thought I was very smart and could do anything, but I hit my head and bleed...... It's better to be like you, who don't understand anything, but have self-knowledge, and who don't touch things that shouldn't be touched, and still be safe......"
She looked lonely, Wen Yi saw it, and felt unbearable again: "Sixth sister, you ...... In fact, it's just bad luck, you are indeed a smart person, you see things clearly, and you know a lot. For example, I don't know anything about the personnel relationship in the court, and when my husband encounters difficulties outside, I can only do it in private, and I can't do anything......" Wen Yi remembered that night, Liu Dongxing hid her from going out, and her expression darkened, "If I can do it more, maybe I can help him......"
Wen Hui said lightly: "If you can't help, it's not necessarily a bad thing, if you understand something and don't understand something, it's just half a bucket of water, but it will help you......"
The two of them sat for a while, then sighed in unison, looked at each other, looked at each other for a long time, and couldn't help but smile.
Wen Yi tried to put down her prejudice against Wen Hui and said, "Sixth sister, can you tell me about the imperial court?" I don't want to help the prime minister, I just hope that I can know what to do. I heard my grandmother say that a man is an official outside, and the woman in the family can only take care of the housework, and she must provide assistance to her husband in order to be called a good wife. I see that the eldest aunt also often corresponds with the official daughters and relatives outside. β
Wen Hui smiled, nodded and said: "This is true, if the ninth brother-in-law is just an ordinary rich man, as his wife, you just need to take care of the house, but if he is an official, you can only take care of the housework." Not only do you have to deal with the ninth brother-in-law's boss, colleagues and subordinates' relatives, but you also have to inquire about him on occasions when the female relatives come and go, and so on, there is a lot to do. Although my mother is a soft child, she is not very favored by the lord at home, but she really knows a lot of high-ranking officials and wives outside, just by virtue of this, even if the slut surnamed Yu has the right to be a housekeeper and has a face in front of the master, he does not dare to openly offend my mother. The old man didn't even dare to spoil her in front of outsiders, unlike Uncle Liu, the third aunt's temperament was not social, although she also knew a lot of orders, but people were just a face to her, and they didn't take her seriously at all, so Uncle Liu dared to be unkind to her. Speaking of this, Wen Hui's expression darkened again: "But the third aunt is better than my mother, that is, her children all earn face for her, unlike me...... Hurt my mother to be ridiculed from time to time outside......"
Seeing this, Wen Yi hurriedly changed the topic: "Sixth sister, what do I need to do?" She smiled a little embarrassedly, "I...... I don't really like dealing with people......"
Wen Hui glanced at her: "I can see it a long time ago, your temperament is good, you are dignified and demure, quiet and clumsy, and whoever sees it will praise you for being virtuous; It's ugly, it's a nerd wood."
Wen Yi calmed down, and replied with a smile: "It's ...... make my sister laugh" but secretly gritted her teeth.
Wen Hui sneered, raised her eyebrows, and pointed to the teacup on the table: "If you want me to teach you, then pour a cup of tea seriously and worship the teacher." Although I have been confused for more than ten years, I can probably afford to teach you this little thing. β
Wen Yi was about to start grinding her teeth, but when she thought of Liu Dongxing's concealment that night, she held back her anger, really got up and poured a cup of tea, held it in front of Wen Hui with both hands, and said in a muffled voice: "Please sister teach me." β
Wen Hui raised her chin: "What sister?" If you want to call sir, you are also called apprentice? β
Wen Yi only felt that her brain was hot, so she put the tea bowl on the table, and her eyes glared: "Do you love to teach or not?"
Wen Hui laughed, Wen Yi stared so hard that her eyes were about to fall out of the window, she wiped her tears and said with a smile: "I tricked you, you actually did it?" Wen Yi turned her head and left, she hurriedly chased after her and pulled back: "Good sister, it's my sister's mistake, my sister will compensate you, don't you worryββ"
Wen Yi turned her head: "Don't dare to be, my sister will copy the scriptures by herself, my sister still has something to do."
"Good sister, good sister" Wen Hui hugged her arm and said pitifully, "I know I'm going too far, for the sake of our sisters, spare me." If you want to know anything, just ask, but whatever I know, you must know everything, and you must say everything. She smiled self-deprecatingly, "Those things are useless for me, a man who is destined to become a monk." β
Wen Yi sneered: "You are also called a monk like this? Don't laugh at other people's big teeth, do you know what kind of life a monk lives? Even if you go back to your hometown, you live in Qinglian Nunnery, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, and you are afraid that you will not be able to taste the real hardships for the rest of your life."
Wen Hui looked at her in a daze, and asked cautiously, "Sister...... Why is this happening? I don't know what life the monks are living outside, but my sister ...... I don't know either, huh? β
Wen Yi was silent for a moment, and turned her head to look at her: "Do you really want to teach me?" Let's not waste our time."
Wen Hui smiled and let go of her hand, tilted her head and said, "Ninth sister, to be honest...... When you talk like that, I'm more comfortable."
