Although Xu Jian did not go to the court, some of the situation in the court was under control.

They knew that Li Shao was annoyed by Shan Shen to death, and they also knew that under Shan Shen's further persecution every day, the officials who were originally holding their minds and no longer deliberately finding fault with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were also ready to move again.

Among them, the most active is naturally Gu Heng, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple.

In Lin Yu's mouth, Gu Heng's positivity is obviously not smart enough.

First, the fourth highness is still too young, and second, it is not easy to be a bird.

Gu Heng may not understand the truth here, but he still chooses to rush to the forefront, and he should also have his own considerations.

"Xuan Su said," Xu Jian said to Lin Yunyan, "someone is trying to find out how I was injured in the first place." ”

Lin Yunyan glanced at Xu Jian's leg and said, "Where do you care about your injury, you obviously care about the prince." ”

Xu Jian smiled: "It should be Lord Gu's manpower, but unfortunately, his investigation is not good for the time being." ”

The incident happened in Yumen Pass, and very few soldiers from the border have returned to the capital in the past few years, and the news has been sealed and has not spread, even those who know one or two will not risk annoying the saint and casually reveal it to the outside.

Of course, there are guesses, some people guess one or two, some people guess seven or eight, and some people are very far away, all kinds of news are mixed together, and the four things that are pieced together are not like that, not to mention what Xu Jian's reaction is when he hears it, Lin Yunyan estimates that those untrue inside information can make Li Shao laugh.

With such confusion, it was not easy for Gu Heng to find out the truth from it.

"This bell doesn't ring, it doesn't ring." Lin Yunyan said.

Xu Jian understood what she meant, and had to give Master Gu a thorough understanding, and after thinking about it, he said, "Lord Gu is a good clock. ”

Gu Heng is a person with clear goals and a positive attitude.

He shouldn't be stuffy, once he got accurate news that was beneficial to him and His Royal Highness, he would dare to talk about it in the Jinluan Palace.

Moreover, more importantly, it is easier to contact Gu Heng than other "bells".

"I remember that Mrs. Gu believed in Buddhism," Lin Yunyan recalled, "It seems that one year, I saw the embroidery of Guanyin sitting lotus sent by Gu Jieyu in Cining Palace. ”

In my impression, it seems to be the winter solstice of the sixteenth year of Yongjia.

At that time, the queen mother's health was already very poor, and she had been recuperating since early autumn, and she had lost a lot of weight.

She used to have good skin and fine lines, but her face was round and not old, and once she lost weight, her old spirit was obvious, and there were more deep and shallow spots on her face.

Lin Yunyan went to the palace every once in a while to visit her, talked to her, and watched the queen mother go from being optimistic about her condition at the beginning, to gradually becoming weak, and finally to calm.

At that time, Niangniang would occasionally say that it was probably this hurdle, and if she had passed, she might be able to live for a few more years, but if she couldn't get over, it would be only a few months.

When Lin Yunyan heard her say this, she also asked her not to talk nonsense at the beginning, and finally accompanied her to recall the people and things in the past.

During the winter solstice, a pair of Guanyin sitting lotus was added to the Cining Palace.

Lin Yunyan looked at it for a long time, but she felt that the embroidery was quite good, and after asking, she realized that it was sent by Gu Jieyu and was made by Gu Jieyu's mother.

"The mourning family heard earlier that she is a good embroiderer, and it seems that she is not boasting."

"It is said that it has been embroidered for a month, day and night, and not a stitch or thread is handed over to others, and I pray for the mourning family."

"The mourning family didn't like to accept them, a bowl of water is flat, that is, this Guanyin is really well embroidered, and the mourning family also wants to live a few more years before accepting it."

"Really about embroidery, or your sister is the best, the mourning family looked really happy at the beginning, is she okay in the past two years?"

"Sister" refers to Lin Yunjing, of course.

After those disputes, life has to go on, even if it's improvised.

The eldest sister has a good temperament, and she doesn't want her mother's family to worry, and the sisters don't mention bad things when they encounter them.

Lin Yunyan also didn't take those that made the queen mother block, but said: "After marriage, I am not as comfortable as when I was a girl before, I talked to her during the New Year, saying that you like her embroidery work, and let her embroider a Guanyin for you." ”

"Forget it, the mourning family is just saying, embroidering a Guanyin consumes effort, she is not as good as you, a large family ......"

"It's a great blessing to be able to embroider Guanyin for you," Lin Yunyan said, "It's too late for the people of the Duke of Xu to rejoice, how can she say that she bothered to work hard?" ”

Lin Yunyan is very positive.

What she thought at the time was that the eldest sister could get this dignity, and even if Su Ke and Xu Guogong had various ideas, they couldn't just bully people.

Besides, the eldest sister's embroidery work is better than that of Mrs. Gu.

After that, Lin Yunyan also inquired, Mrs. Gu had the idea of flattering, and what she said was also the truth, she believed in Buddhism and was very pious.

Even, Lin Yunyan once accompanied her grandmother to Guangde Temple to offer incense, and she also met Mrs. Gu.

After sorting out the old memories, Lin Yunyan said, "I'll ask Mrs. Xu." ”

Mrs. Xu often went to Guangde Temple on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, and lived in the temple for a period of time before leaving.

"I don't know," said Mrs. Xu, "you know, I don't really like to deal with people when I go out. ”

"The slave seems to have heard the master in the temple say that Mrs. Gu will go to offer incense every tenth, twentieth, and thirtieth day of the new year," Mama Xia said, "You are not the same day as Madame, and you have never met it."

That is, when I lived in a small house, there were overlapping days, when the lord and the son were in trouble, and the side room was taken care of, and his family did not talk to the slave and maid. ”

"That's right," Xu Yi sighed, "I have been chaotic for the past few days, and it's normal for people not to talk." ”

In the past, there was no friendship, and when they were in trouble, others may not fall into the ground, but most of them will choose to stay away and wait and see.

Lin Yunyan said: "It's also a coincidence, Ming'er is twenty, I want to go to Guangde Temple." ”

"The county wants to see Mrs. Gu?" Xu Yi asked.

Lin Yunyan only smiled and didn't answer.

Xu Yi pursed her lips.

These days, although she lives in the backyard, the news from the outside and the front yard will not hide from her.

She knew that the prince was causing trouble, and she also knew that Shuntian Mansion Yin had come several times, and she could also see that there was a lot of trouble between Ah Jian and the prince.

Yes.

When Liu Jing and Xun'er didn't have an accident, Ah Jian told her frankly that they were not on the same road.

Now, even if Xun'er is exiled, Ah Jian and the prince are still estranged.

In the important matters of the court, Xu Yi will not point fingers at Xu Jian, without that position, she doesn't understand or understand that.

She knew that it was Ah Jian's duty to save the prince, even if it was time and time again, she was very distressed, she had to praise Ah Jian for her courage and bravery, but only in terms of mood, Ah Jian was injured one after another, and Xun'er was doing bad things with the prince, how could she not have any complaints about the prince?

No matter what Arjan was doing, she had to support her.

What she can help their little couple is this little bit of support.

"It's good to go to the temple, say goodbye more, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless Ah Jian with good health in the coming year, don't add any more injuries," Xu Yi bent his eyes and said tentatively, "Do you want me to go together?" ”

If she can help, she will definitely not refuse, but she is afraid that she will not know the inside story, and she will make a mistake if she goes......

Lin Yunyan thought for a while and said, "Then go together, and call Ahuan too." After the incense was poured and the meal was eaten, we returned. ”

When Xu Yi heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and responded.

On the twentieth day, several people got up early.

Guangde Temple was prosperous in the year before, but it was also lost early, and there were still two wings left.

Offering incense to the Buddha, a set of regulations, went back to the wing room to rest for a while, and Bang Yue came in and said to Lin Yunyan: "When Mrs. Gu arrives, she will live in the wing room at the end." ”

Lin Yunyan bowed her head, walked out of the wing, and stood under the corridor for a while.

At the end, a woman came out with a basin of water, and at a glance she saw the person standing under the porch.

She looked at it twice, then turned around and asked the little maid gently, "Which pilgrim lives in that room?" Dressed plainly, but this material is expensive at first glance, and the posture is good. ”

The little maid said: "The slave maid asked just now, saying that there is a distinguished guest from the Fuguo Mansion in the temple today, and the one who looks like it is likely to be the lord of Ning'an, and there is still someone in the wing, it should be Mrs. Xu." ”

The mother-in-law let out a low "oops", stuffed the basin to the little maid, and hurried inside.

"Madam, the Fuguo Mansion has also come to offer incense, just ahead, and what the slave and maid see should be the county master."

Mrs. Gu raised her head: "Really? ”

The mother-in-law nodded: "Although the slave and maid don't recognize the county master, but the dress and demeanor, the posture and demeanor are expensive when they look at it, and when they stand there, it is the 'rules' that Jieyu Niangniang talked about." ”

There are rules in the palace, and Jieyu Niangniang studied hard for a few months when she entered the palace, and then she slowly got a little shape.

The county lord is in the palace, and the rules are engraved in his bones, and his demeanor is naturally different from others.

The more the mother-in-law talked, the more she felt that she would not be wrong.

Mrs. Gu held the teacup and couldn't make up her mind.

Recently, the old man was talking about the prince, the auxiliary prince, and the injury, and she listened to a few words and wanted to ask more details, but the old man did not answer her.

I met the county lord today, do you want to go to the trap?

If you can hold this thread, can you also help the lord and the fourth highness?

But she rushed to it, in case it was self-defeating......

Mrs. Gu couldn't eat accurately, she thought about it, she only let her mother-in-law play the vanguard, observe and observe whether the county lord was good or not, and she saw the opportunity to meet Mrs. Xu.

The mother-in-law should get down, go out of the wing, pretend to be busy outside, and keep peeking at the county lord.

Lin Yunyan naturally noticed it and called "Bang Yue".

Bang Yue came out with a bag in her hand and followed Lin Yunyan to the apse.

Compared with the main hall in front, there are many fewer pilgrims here.

Seeing the monks in the hall, Bang Yue opened the cloth bag, which was full of scriptures.

"I copied it with my own hands and sent it for worship." Lin Yunyan said.

The monk took it and performed the Buddha ceremony.

Lin Yunyan knelt on the futon and read silently for a while, then kowtowed, and knelt for a quarter of an hour before getting up.

The master and servant walked from behind, and when they walked out of the main hall, Lin Yunyan's posture was crooked, and she quickly helped the person with her eyes.

"Be careful." Bang Yue exclaimed.

"My feet are numb, it's fine." Lin Yunyan said.

"Grandpa Guo is already lying down to raise his leg and injured, if you fall again, the husband and wife will each lose one foot." Bang Yue pouted.

"Your mouth, fortunately, there is no one else, whose maid is talking like this," Lin Yunyan raised her hand and nodded at her, and sighed at the end, "I'm really worried about Grandpa Guo's leg injury."

I sometimes wonder if I could hurt him for him.

His martial arts and ambitions are all ...... because of his leg injury."

Bang Yue puffed out her cheeks slightly, very unconvinced: "It's not because of the prince, it's been twice, and both times it's for him!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Lin Yunyan said, "Beware of people listening." ”

"Where's the nonsense?" Bang Yue hurriedly said, "Yumen Pass is there, if it weren't for the prince pretending to be a soldier, sneaking out of the pass, and sneaking into the battlefield of the war with Xiliang, how could Grandpa Guo be stabbed by Xiliang people in order to save him?"

How much does that hurt! Grandpa Guo's future is ......

He is the crown prince, and he has to hide it for him everywhere, and there are even rumors in Beijing that Grandpa Guo will only be injured if he is in a hurry for quick success.

I finally hired a doctor, and I got better, and I fought with the blind bear in the paddock all day, and I can't say whether the leg injury can be healed in the future.

The county master, the slave and maid knew that they should not say this, but the slave and maid were panicked.

Grandpa Guo is recuperating from his injuries, you are uncomfortable and distressed, and the slave and maid are uncomfortable when they see you, and the slave and maid are also uncomfortable.

You haven't had a good rest in the past few days, and you've been copying the scriptures until the third watch, hoping that this piety will make the Bodhisattva bless and bless ......"

Lin Yunyan looked at Bang Yue deeply, and sighed for a long time: "I know you care about me, but don't say those things in the future, the wall has ears." ”

"The slave maid just saw it, and there was no one else here," Bang Yue said, "and the Bodhisattva heard it." ”

Lin Yunyan sighed again.

The apse only opened the middle door, and behind the tall door panel, the Gu family's mother-in-law listened with her ears pricked up, and her heart was beating until she heard it.

What did she hear!

It turns out that Fu Guogong is so injured!

The prince actually slipped out of the customs?

The mother-in-law covered her mouth, not daring to make a sound, and after making sure that Lin Yunyan was leaving with Bang Yue, she lightly went back to the front door and ran back to the wing room with a smoke.

Mrs. Gu was dumbfounded when she heard this: "Are you sure?" Do they really say that? ”

The mother-in-law nodded busily.

"No," Mrs. Gu questioned, "Although I don't know the county lord, but the people who have lived in the palace have their mouths tightened so tightly, how can they say this outside and let people hear it." ”

"They didn't find the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid hid well," the mother-in-law said, "Everyone outside said that the county lord and the grandfather of the country, Qin Se and Ming, have a very good relationship, and if they think about it, they are careless." Her maid must also be loyal, and listening to her voice, it seems to carry some crying. ”

Mrs. Gu thought for a while and asked, "Has the county lord returned to the wing?" ”

"No," said the mother-in-law, "the slave saw that she had gone on again. ”

When Mrs. Gu heard this, she sorted out her appearance and took the initiative to visit Xu Yi.

The two ladies sat down, speaking with restraint and caution.

Xu Yi knew a little about Lin Yunyan's arrangement, and his temptations to Mrs. Gu were all "want to say and stop".

"The doctor is still treating, good and bad, I'm very worried, so I'll come and worship."

"How did you get hurt, don't hide it from Mrs. Gu, when I ask him, he won't go into details, and I can't ask about it."

Mrs. Gu couldn't ask for an exact question, but she saw Liu Huan, who was sitting obediently on the side, silent and quiet, her eyes were red, and she seemed to be full of grievances.

Not long after, Mrs. Gu said goodbye, but she believed a little more in the news that her mother-in-law overheard.

If it is really hurt like that, it is not unusual for a sister to be wronged by her brother. (End of chapter)
