13, Truth 1
A horse-drawn carriage drove on the official road in the direction of Kamikakuji.
Yun Ge sat in the carriage contemplatively, holding a silk handkerchief in his hand, and twisting his thumb and index finger back and forth unconsciously.
"Miss, it's here. Lotus said as she sat outside the carriage.
Yun Ge came back to her senses, lifted the curtain, looked at the outside environment, looked at the hand stretched out by the lotus, Yun Ge exhaled deeply, and helped her hand get out of the car.
"Let's go. Yun Ge stood still and looked at the steps in front of him, and said to the person behind him.
Came here to ask Shang Hongxu for a peace charm, this is her statement to the house, and there is also a purpose, she wants to know what kind of person Shang Hongxu is, if he just has someone he likes before marriage and can't be together, he likes her, then they are still husband and wife, if this person of his is not the one he knows at all, or he doesn't like himself at all, then, Yun Ge's eyes flashed with a resolute look.
Since she came here, she doesn't intend to live aggrieved.
From the bottom of the mountain to the temple gate, there are a total of one hundred and fifty white stone steps, Yun Ge stood at the open temple door, looking at the plaque hanging high, the cowardice in his heart was swept away, what are you afraid of, what is more desperate than leaving her hometown and being forced to come here, she can live well in such a strange environment, marriage is nothing, it is just a part of her own life, and there is another life without it.
Yun Ge stepped into the gate, and the little novice who was already waiting outside welcomed people into the main hall, Yun Ge knelt in front of the Buddha statue and prayed sincerely, and then took the peace charm from an old monk and thanked the old monk, Yun Ge said to the people behind him not to follow, and turned around and walked out of the main hall.
Bypassing the back of the main hall is a relatively empty land, with trees planted on both sides, and under the trees there are stone tables and stone benches for enjoying the shade, and when he saw the people sitting on the stone benches, Yun Ge was startled.
"Brother Yu, why are you here?" Yun Ge hurriedly walked over to greet him.
It was still a person in a black robe, still a handsome face with no expression and indifference, but when Yun Ge came, it was dyed with joy.
"I came over as soon as I received the news, and I didn't feel at ease with them. Yu Ze looked at her with both eyes, and his tone was light.
"Sit down. Yu Ze stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, the stone bench had been laid with a mat, and the stone table was also covered with a tablecloth, on which refreshments were placed.
After Yun Ge sat down, she lowered her head and didn't know whether to say it, she had already thought it out when she was at the door, but when the person who came was Brother Yu, she didn't want to ask again, just like she didn't want her relatives to know that she was not doing well.
"Xiaoyun, just say something, I'm sure I can help you do it?" Finding Yun Ge's silence, Yu Ze spoke first and promised.
Yun Ge was a little hesitant, seeing his concerned look, his heart was crossed, "I really need Brother Yu's help when I came over today." ”
"I want to ask my eldest brother to help me check Shang Hongxu, I want to know what kind of person he is?"
Yu Ze's eyes lit up, staring at Yun Ge, confirming that her request was correct, "How could you think of checking him, but what did he do to be sorry for you?"
Before anyone could say anything, Yu Ze was directly convicted.
Yun Ge took a deep breath and said, "It's just that I suddenly found that I didn't know him, so I wanted to know if he was the Shang Hongxu I knew." ”
"Xiaoyun," Yu Ze looked at her, his hands on his legs clenched unconsciously, "What if he wasn't the one you knew?"
"For example?" Yun Ge asked calmly.
"For example, he is inconsistent with his appearance, and for example, he" Yu Ze paused, considering whether he wanted to say it and whether it would hurt Xiaoyun.
"Brother Yu, you know, my time in Kyoto is very short, I can only know and understand a person based on what I see, if he deliberately conceals it, I can't find out for a while, but you have been living in Kyoto, you know more than I know, so, please be honest with me. Yun Ge looked at Yu Ze sincerely.
"Xiaoyun, no matter what I have hidden from you before, I just want you to be happy, and now since you want to ask, then I will tell you. Yu Ze immediately stated that he concealed it for a reason, "Shang Hongxu, he is not a good match." ”
Sure enough, Yun Ge may have expected that there was no special anger at this moment.
Looking at Xiaoyun's expression, Yu Ze continued, "He has a good family background, appearance, and talent, but he is not a good husband. ”
"You should have found out, the Hou Ning family is from the second prince's faction, in fact, the Hou Ning had no position at the beginning. I am a royalist, and he is a neutral faction, but he was forcibly turned into a faction of the second prince by Shang Hongxu, and he also married Miss Yan to the second prince as a side concubine. ”
"Do you know what he's for? ”
Xue Meng: The woman I saw in Zhenbaozhai had a very bad first impression, and I vaguely felt that the relationship between the monk and Hongxu was not simple, so it turned out that they really had a relationship?
"Xue Mengcheng, the granddaughter of the Duke of Guo, a scholar of the old cabinet of the two dynasties, was very appreciated by the emperor. The second prince had already fallen in love with this person, so he found a way to marry his granddaughter. Shang Hongxu liked that woman very much, even if he knew that she was engaged to the second prince, he didn't let go of the thoughts in his heart, and he still had contacts in private. ”
"Won't the Second Prince stop it?" asked Yun Ge puzzled.
"Why stop it? A woman can make the Hou Ning who is on an errand in the ministry his own person, it's too late for him to be happy, besides, there is more than one Hou Ning, and there is not another you. Yu Ze sneered, it was a person who didn't care about sacrificing women for the sake of power.
"I, what do I have to do with the second prince?" Yun Ge was confused.
"Your business acumen, the different vegetables and fruits you grow, me and Ning Antai by your side, are all the reasons why they calculate you. Yu Ze explained.
In fact, he only figured out these things after receiving the news of Yun Ge's marriage, because he never thought that Shang Hongxu would attack her, so he thought about slowly cultivating a relationship with Yun Ge, and it can also be said that he did not put Shang Hongxu and Qi Antai in the position of rivals in love, because they did not meet Xiaoyun's requirements, they all had concubines, but what he didn't expect was that Shang Hongxu was so shameless.
"So he started calculating me so early?" Yun Ge said sadly, with a lot of thoughts in his heart.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoyun, I also figured it out when you got married, I didn't expect Shang Hongxu to lie to you so shamelessly. Yu Ze blamed himself very much, if only he had made his intentions known earlier, he would not have let Xiaoyun be hurt.
"Brother Yu, please continue, I want to know all this. Yun Ge cheered up, the road had come to this point, and he couldn't turn back, so he could only go on bravely.
