53. Get carried away
Bachelor Meng listened to the news from the servants, looked at the information in his hand, and fell into thought.
"My lord, the current information is all on the surface, and many industries in Tonghai are presided over by the Yuan family, so there is no doubt about these."
"It's just that I heard that the military equipment at the border gate is now produced in Tonghai, and these equipment were first written by Yuan Xianggong."
"Whether it is the Sun family or the Lu family, they are only partners in it, and the one who really plays a key role in the middle is Yuan Rui, not the Yuan family, this is the internal news of Yinying, and it is also their comprehensive analysis, I think the court should have already gotten the news, and these things can't be faked."
"Okay, it's hard work, you go down first, I'll think about it again." Master Meng looked at the servant who had followed him for nearly ten years, and knew that no matter what his identity was, he was sincere to him.
As long as you have a certain status in the court, there will always be people with other identities around you, this is inevitable, Master Meng understands.
Many years ago, when I went back to Gaoyou to visit relatives, when I passed through a mountain forest on the way, I saved a person, and I was covered in injuries, and I couldn't help it.
Or his wife's family is in the pharmaceutical business, I know a little bit of pharmacology, and after three days of continuous treatment and medicine, I finally rescued this person.
Since then, this person has devoted himself to Meng's mansion, not only as the bodyguard of Bachelor Meng's family, but also as a member of some external affairs, which can be said to have played a very key role in the safety of Bachelor Meng in recent years.
It can be said that this person was killed at that time, not a disguise, so Master Meng never doubted this person, and he didn't care what his original identity was.
The family also regarded him as different from others, and his wife later recognized his maid as a righteous sister and married him, and now he has two sons and a daughter, and his life is very beautiful.
He also understands that no matter who is around, as long as his family is upright and does not seek personal gain, he doesn't have to worry about anything!
At first, he was very worried that this was not a simple scholar, and in order to prevent accidents, he was really sent by some well-intentioned person.
After all, there are many coincidences in this matter, a single person walked far away to meet his daughter, and wrote poems, which looked like it was deliberately arranged, so he quickly arranged for someone to find out the news.
Looking at it now, it was a simple chance encounter, not deliberately arranged, Mr. Meng was a lot more relieved, he was afraid that someone would hit his daughter's idea, not that Yangzhou students were not good, and the son-in-law had to be picked well.
Looking at the detailed information in his hand, Mr. Meng was unexpected.
What Yuan Rui did in the countryside surprised him, and he knew a little about the entire Tonghai workshop, and it turned out to be this kid's handwriting.
There is also the border battle in the ninth year of Xining, and he knows that many of the pieces were arranged by his hands.
Until now, many important ministers are still praising the materials sent to work, where did they think that the Sun family and Xu Shilang, who got cheap, were just handling them, and there were so many reasons behind them.
This kid is not simple, a child of an official family, he is good at learning, but he doesn't read dead books, and his business is booming.
Now no one in the entire court does not know the importance of these armaments, and I heard that it is these materials that directly doubled the combat strength of the border army.
In fact, there was one point that not only he was negligent, but also Yinying was negligent.
Yuan Rui really started Miss Meng's idea, and was looking for her, this news Yinying knew, the reason why there was no feedback was also based on thinking that this was Yuan Rui's admiration.
The second son finally didn't want to be anxious and changed hands directly.
He is wise, as soon as he heard this, he felt that he might not be able to handle it, so he went to the letter in advance, and it was better to let his sister-in-law worry about this kind of thing.
Yuan Qing was overjoyed when she received the letter, her younger brother was really not small, and the children of her age were crawling all over the ground.
My younger brother doesn't seem to be enlightened, he doesn't care about it at all, and in the past few years, he has been bent on making money, how did he get it.
She thought that she would come to Yangzhou immediately after receiving the letter, but she really didn't say that she would leave, especially since her father-in-law was still in the capital, and the second son was not at home.
She can't leave for too long, it is estimated that she will come back after understanding clearly, then there is still someone to serve by her brother's side, and it is much better to have a personal maid, so she simply sent someone to Jijiazhuang to pick up Xiaohe and come to Yangzhou together.
They didn't send anyone to tell them first, and they didn't make a special announcement, and set off with a dozen or so servants at home.
In the evening, they appeared at the Lu family in Yangzhou, not to mention Yuan Rui, even the second son didn't expect them to arrive so directly.
Seeing Yuan Qing appear in the courtyard with Xiaohe, Yuan Rui, who was chatting with the second son, was startled.
"Why is my sister here, you are going to the capital!"
Yuan Rui hurriedly got up and asked his sister to sit down. He really didn't know that the second son wrote a letter to tell his sister about it, and he thought that his sister went to the capital to find the eldest son.
"This brother and daughter-in-law are going to enter the door, and if I, who is my sister, don't come to Zhang Luo, there will really be no one."
Yuan Qing was very happy, she was tired from the journey, and she didn't even have time to freshen up and rest, so she came directly to ask questions first.
"My own sister, where is this, what brother and daughter-in-law, don't believe some people's nonsense."
Yuan Rui comforted his sister while glancing at the second son.
"Don't mess with me, I'm tired like a cow these days, you don't thank me, blame me."
When the second son saw his sister-in-law coming, he didn't worry about Yuan Rui jumping at all.
"Sister, you see it's getting late, you're tired all the way, go rest first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Yuan Rui was coaxing while pulling his sister to the backyard.
Yuan Qing is indeed tired, now that she has arrived in Yangzhou, there is no need to be too anxious, and she will talk about it in detail tomorrow.
Yuan Rui said to Xiaohe again and asked her to rest without mentioning it.
It's not that Yuan Rui doesn't want his sister to help, but he hasn't figured out anything now, no one has been found, his name is unknown, and his family situation is unknown.
If it is said that there is a little hope for a big family to choose a son-in-law, if the surrounding people come out for a walk, in case they are engaged, it will be really troublesome. So you can't let your sister toss first, in case there is an accident, it will not be good to cause harm to others.
Early the next morning, Yuan Qing got up early, didn't care about Yuan Rui, and went directly with the second son.
After understanding the situation, I was happy and angry, and the happy thing is that this younger brother is really good, I have heard of it at first sight, and the beautiful talent is the most sung in the play.
What's a little angry is that after so many days, I haven't even asked who the other party is, so I shouldn't be.
Waiting for the second son to finish the details, Yuan Qing was also strange, according to this method, it was impossible not to find it.
The lady who was present that day almost never left for a long time, and the person who walked a long way and met Yuan Rui by the lake was indeed not in this group of people.
Yuan Qing has an idea, anyway, she and Xiaohe are women, and it is relatively convenient to find someone, so it seems that she has to go out by herself.
Her idea, since she is not in this group of people, she will start with the nearby households, inquire which family has the right age, and then find an excuse to go to the house to see, as long as it is a nearby household, it is easy to find.
Now, Yuan Rui is more comfortable, and he doesn't have to worry about it at all.
This is actually Yuan Qing's thoughts, she is worried that at this juncture, Yuan Rui will be distracted or affected, and the hospital examination will be over if there is an accident, so she came to prevent this situation.
After dinner, Yuan Rui sat at the desk as usual, picked up a book of scriptures, and if he wanted to say what he was worried about this time, it was still the scriptures.
Although he is very familiar with these, it is really difficult to say that he writes it out completely well, this is a pure test of memory, and now he has not fully recovered after such a long time.
Xiaohe sat on the side with a smile as usual, fanning him while holding a little bit of the fruits and vegetables he brought and eating slowly.
Yuan Rui felt that since Xiaohe came, his leisurely days had returned.
Yuan Rui asked about Xiaohe's family while reading a book, Xiaohe seemed to know what Yuan Rui was going to ask, everything was ready, he could say a lot of everything, in detail, especially a little detail, Yuan Rui sounded like a movie.
Time flashed in the small talk between the two of them in an instant, looking at Xiaohe who was already asleep at the desk, Yuan Rui was indeed negligent, he should have let her go back to sleep earlier, Xiaohe should have been tired after running for a day.
Looking at the study couch outside, Yuan Rui picked up Xiaohe and entered the inner room, put Xiaohe on the bed and covered it with a quilt, and said goodnight softly.
Yuan Rui slept on the couch, and he fell asleep after a while, Xiaohe came, and he was more relaxed.
Seeing that Zi Shi was about to pass, two men in black came from outside the backyard wall of the Lu family's residence. The two of them whispered lightly, one to the left and the other to the right, and galloped away. After a while, a man in black appeared at the door of the wing where Yuan Rui lived.
Looking at the whereabouts of this man in black, he should be familiar with the Lu family.
I saw him gently take out a dagger, open the door, and enter the hall in a flash. He didn't hesitate, took a step closer to the door on the left, pushed it gently, and entered it with a slight gap.
Yuan Rui really didn't have the habit of closing the door, he was originally very relieved here in the Lu family, Xiaohe was more comfortable with him today, where did he think that there would be such a thing.
Looking at Yuan Rui on the couch, the man in black didn't make a sound, bypassed the desk, entered the bedroom, and looked at the sleeping person on the couch, the man in black, who came to him with a dagger and stabbed him in the chest.
At the moment when the dagger of the man in black fell, there was a sudden shouting in the courtyard next door, and for a while, shouts and footsteps rang out. Yuan Rui was suddenly awakened, and was thinking about lighting the lamp to see, when a black shadow flashed out of it.
When the man in black saw Yuan Rui get up, he immediately slashed at him, Yuan Rui dodged sideways, swung out his right hand, and the broken stab stabbed directly into the man's chest, and the man in black fell directly to the ground and died.
Yuan Rui hurriedly rushed into the bedroom, and Xiaohe lay on the bed without making a sound.
When Yuan Rui came out with Xiaohe in his arms, there were already a few people, the first was Zhang Tou, he was the first to rush over, and he happened to meet the man in black outside, and the two of them had a few tricks.
It's just that the man in black is very strong in martial arts, and he doesn't love fighting, so he took a moment and fled directly. A few people in the back carried lanterns and lit the lanterns again, and Yuan Rui found that half of Xiaohe's body was stained with blood.
