Li Rong still remembers the cricket.

The mother concubine cared about him, paid careful attention to his homework, and was even more meticulous in life.

Li Rong can understand the intentions of his mother, but he also has to say that since his enlightenment, his life has been very boring.

Playthings are demoralized.

Whether it is crickets or birds, in the eyes of the mother concubine, they are all jackals, tigers and leopards.

Li Rong memorizes poems quickly, reads well, and practices martial arts among the best among his peers.

He can do his best in all the homework arranged by his father, but he still can't "play".

He fought for his mother, promising that it would not affect his schoolwork, but the mother still firmly said "no".

When he was five or six years old, Li Rong would cry and make trouble.

When he was seven or eight years old, he rarely fought with his mother, and he would only be angry with his mother.

In another year or two, there will be no more gas.

The mother concubine is for his good, but in the way, their mother and son experience is different.

Moreover, his father did not restrain him.

My father said that there is a degree of relaxation, and moderate fun will not affect studies, and blindly holding it will be easy to pull out the seedlings and promote growth.

The father also said that the mother concubine is very hard-working, and he doesn't want to quarrel with his mother over the child's parenting style.

Li Rong agreed.

Gradually, he hid more and more things from his mother.

Because, he discovered some secrets of his father.

A boy under the age of ten has endless energy and curiosity.

He accidentally discovered a secret passage hidden in his father's study, and through the secret passage, he reached a courtyard that he had never seen before, and looked at his father face to face.

At this point, his father had no choice but to take him for a walk in the house.

Li Rong was young back then, had limited experience, and didn't know what to do to rebel or not, at most, he had heard a few grandmothers in the house chatter when the owner and the west family were short, so his idea of the house was "the golden house is hidden".

But there was no trace of a woman's life in that house.

Since this is the case, his father told him to absolutely not make a noise, and Li Rong naturally nodded.

Everyone has secrets.

That's what he thought at the time.

Just like when he is tired of studying, he wants to kick the juju and fight crickets, and his father is tired and tired, and he also wants to have a quiet place to listen to the rain and watch the bamboo.

Compare the heart to the heart, the same.

After all, the green bamboo outside the window is really beautiful, and my father sat under the porch for an afternoon.

Li Rong heard Cheng Xi say that his grandmother left very early, and what could be seen outside the window in front of the bed during her illness was green bamboo.

It turned out that his father was remembering his biological mother.

Then he won't even speak out and let his father lose such a "peach blossom source".

As for Cheng Xi, he is the chief manager of that house.

Knowing that his father did not restrain him to play moderately, Cheng Xi once gave him a cricket.

The cricket beard raised the sky, so powerful, Li Rong liked it so much, he couldn't hide it and brought it back to the palace.

Unfortunately, he only had the cricket for five days.

Five days later, the concubine found out and took it away.

Rao is like this, Li Rong did not give up his father, Chengxi and the house.

Li Rong hid and cried once, and then stopped playing with crickets.

At the same time, as he grew up in January, he gradually realized that the house was not simply a "peach blossom paradise......

Li Rong took a deep breath.

Fu Guogong just said that Yu Chengan of the Security Hou Mansion mentioned the cricket.

Li Rong was not impressed by this, and after thinking about it for a while, he had a vague impression.

In those five days, he hid himself in front of his mother, but when he went out, he swaggered and hung on his waist.

Speaking of which, Yu Chengan is also a person who is used to playing crickets.

So what does Xu Jian mean when he mentions this today?

Yu Chengan was kind enough to send him a cricket to relieve his boredom?

It can't be that Yu Chengan knows the origin of the cricket, right?

Where did Cheng Xi get the crickets?

Li Rong's brows furrowed more and more.

He couldn't make it right, and his mind was buzzing, as if a hundred crickets were screaming in his head at the same time.

Raising his hand and pressing his temple, Li Rong took a deep breath.

When Fu Guogong speaks, it is best if there is no deep meaning, and if there is a deep meaning, it is to know the whereabouts of Cheng Xi and his father.

Li Rong thought, then just don't say it yourself.

He really didn't know where his father was going, and he couldn't answer at all.

He knows Cheng Xi, but he can also not admit it.

Right now, what he has to do is to take care of his body honestly and accompany his mother with peace of mind.

That's all.

This is not a difficult thing for Li Rong.

Compared with the calm in the meditation hall, the eldest princess Derong has been quite angry these days.

The next day, Lin Yunyan was talking to the Queen Mother, and it was said that the eldest princess was here.

The eldest princess of Derong hurriedly came in, her face was full of resentment and grievances, and she hid her crying with a "queen mother".

Lin Yunyan stood up and saluted.

The eldest princess looked like she was about to complain, and Lin Yunyan, as a junior, was not very convenient to pretend to be stupid and sit and listen.

"You said last time that you liked the candied fruit I had there, and it just so happened that there were some in the side hall, so I went to get them."

"Just let the people below," the eldest princess didn't tell her to avoid it, and took the initiative to say, "I'm panicking in my heart, Ning An, you will also come to comment." ”

Lin Yunyan sat back as she said.

The Empress Dowager raised her eyes to look at Derong and asked, "Comment?" Who can be unreasonable with you? ”

"Holy Lord, my good sixth brother!" The eldest princess of Derong complained angrily, and said to Lin Yunyan, "You kid!

When you suddenly asked about the Marshal's Mansion the other time, I should have kept an eye on it.

You don't like to chew on the root of your tongue, and if you ask for no reason, naturally something will fall on the Marshal's Mansion.

I didn't really go to my heart that day, what I had nothing to do with me, and the rumors outside didn't hurt, and I left it behind after I finished talking to you.

Just now, the sixth brother called me to the imperial study, opened his mouth and asked the 'Marshal's Mansion', and I knew that it was the second brother who had investigated the matter. ”

The eldest princess Derong took the tea cup handed by Mama Wang, took a sip and moistened her throat, and continued: "Sure enough, this can't be said too much!

What did I say that day?

'If it's not my shop, can it still be covered on my head?' ’

'Who am I?' Can I have someone else throw dirty water on me? ’

I am the eldest princess, I can reason wherever I go, but I met the sixth brother is show and met the soldiers!

I said that it had nothing to do with me, and he said that he believed that I would not make such immoral silver, but in fact, he was asking me to confirm it again and again, and he also carried a little Han Zhaoqing maybe connived at his family to make money in my name behind my back.

I can't put it into words! ”

The queen mother couldn't cry or laugh: "You also said that it was for Li Du's case, and the saint was so anxious that he refused to miss any clues."

You didn't clear up the rumors before, and now it's reasonable to be called in for questioning.

I want to mourn the family and say, take this opportunity to clarify, in the end, it is not a good deal, and if you really make money, you will at least listen to it when you fall into your pocket, you don't touch it at all, you don't occupy a penny, what do you do to borrow a name for nothing? ”

"Clarification must be clarified," Princess Derong was annoyed, "but the sixth brother can't listen to the wind and rain, and if he can't find the second brother, he will trouble me!" Speaking of which, there is no news of the second brother yet? ”

The Empress Dowager sighed: "Not yet. ”

"Are sister-in-law and Li Rong okay?" The eldest princess Derong asked again, "It's still Li Rong who can carry it clearly, and there is only one way to die with the second brother, and there is still a way to live when he runs back."

I heard that he almost died in the mountains? Poor man, at the age of eleven, he suffered such a sin!

Luckily, it was fateful. ”

As soon as the eldest princess Derong came out of the imperial study, she came to Cining Palace, chattering and complaining for a while, and the anger was almost gone.

When she got up to say goodbye, Lin Yunyan sent her out all the way.

"Speaking of which," the eldest princess asked softly, "I was just angry in front of the emperor, and I didn't ask in detail, how did the Duke of Fuguo find out about the Marshal's Mansion?" What does the Marshal's Mansion have to do with the second brother? ”

Lin Yunyan whispered: "I don't know, Grandpa Guo didn't mention it to me. ”

The eldest princess didn't ask any more.

Seeing the eldest princess Derong leave, Lin Yunyan turned around and walked back.

If the Marshal's Mansion really had nothing to do with the eldest princess, then her last question was just curiosity.

And she is really the owner behind the Marshal's Mansion, and she asked this question, undoubtedly to further clear up.

Lin Yunyan couldn't eat it accurately.

"What do you think?" She asked the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother lowered her eyes, leaned on the pillow, and thought for a while: "There is no wind in the air." ”

Lin Yunyan waited quietly for the Queen Mother to explain her doubts.

The Queen Mother did not speak for a while.

After a while, she said: "Derong is so strong in her bones, she doesn't like to suffer, she doesn't take advantage of others, and she won't let others take advantage of her." ”

Lin Yunyan suddenly realized.

If the Marshal's Mansion really didn't have anything to do with it, Princess Derong wouldn't have let it take her own name for so many years.

As for how this relationship is climbed......

Speaking of which, she and Xu Jian did the honest business through Gao An and Jing Dafang, and on the surface, they had nothing to do with Lin and Xu's mansions.

But if you really investigate it in-depth and study the relationship layer by layer, you can still find out about them in the end.

The relationship between Princess Derong and the Marshal's Mansion is probably the same.

It's just that the eldest princess has no shortage of people or money in her hands, and the circle she goes around must be farther and more hidden.

This is also the confidence that she dared to deny it in the imperial study and come to Cining Palace to cry again.

If you really check it out, it won't be just some "gossip" over the years, but there is no idea of ugliness.

Lin Yunyan sighed: "Why does the eldest princess do this kind of business? ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "There are thousands of kinds of business in the world, some people don't do it, and some people will do it."

Those silver money, Derong does not earn, there will be others to earn.

The mourning family is not worried that Derong will make money, but the mourning family is worried that she will take a fork in the road. ”

Lin Yunyan understood.

The queen mother showed a little tiredness and said: "The fluctuation of people's hearts can't be controlled, what she has thought about, no one can cure it, and in the end she can't do it or not, she has to grasp it herself." At this point, Derong is like this, and Li Rong is the same. ”

Of course, there are differences between the two men.

Regardless of whether the mind is turned upside down or not, Derong has not taken a wrong step so far.

Li Rong's father has rebelled, and Li Rong's way of life lies in his "youth" and "ignorance".

"Let's go and see," the queen mother said, "the mourning family still says the same thing, the opportunity is grasped by themselves, and so is life, if you can't see through or think through, you will suffer and suffer in the end." ”

Lin Yunyan didn't say anything more, took the beauty and gently knocked the queen mother's legs.

In the capital this month, there was a lot of noise in the court, and the people were also talking.

But no matter how much the situation changes, the days are still in order.

Red silk was hung outside the Sincerity Mansion.

Lin Yunjing's wedding date is just around the corner.

Mrs. Quanfu, who made the bed, was enthusiastic and talkative, walked around the new house, and when she came back, she praised the new aunt and the new mother-in-law's house.

"Don't look at the yard, it's tidy."

"His relatives in Beijing came to help, the inside and out are well arranged, and the characters on the windows are still cut by themselves, the craftsmanship is awesome!"

"I knew at a glance that no matter how old or young, they were all diligent people."

"Diligent, polite, easy to get along with, I don't live together on weekdays, and I don't feel tired to deal with such relatives during the New Year's holidays."

"Uncle himself is a capable person, we Yun Jing married in the past, and we have hope for the future!"

Xiao Duan smiled happily when he heard this.

The Huang family couldn't close their mouths, and was congratulated by the concubines.

Lin Yunyan and Lin Yunfang laughed at the eldest sister, they didn't stay in the Chengyi Bofu Mansion for a long time, and came out first after eating the thank you banquet for Mrs. Quanfu.

The carriage passed through the streets and alleys, and finally circled into an alley, stopping outside Yu's house.

Lin Yunyan is here to find Zhu Fei.

When the aunts of the Yu family saw her coming to the door, they took the gift from Bang Yue's hand, and they were very polite.

Lin Yunyan coped with two sentences and followed Zhu Fei into the house.

She hadn't seen Zhu Fei in months.

Since the Zhu family beheaded and confiscated, Zhu Fei has broken off his previous life.

First, she is in her mother's filial piety, and secondly, her current identity is not suitable for eating, drinking and playing with her former little sisters, so she is simply estranged, and there is only movement between her and Lin Yunyan.

Zhu Fei took out a small red cloth bag from the box and handed it to Lin Yunyan.

Lin Yunyan opened it, and there was a hosta wrapped in it.

The jade color is transparent, and it is a hairpin.

"Yun Jing will rise out of the pavilion tomorrow, you will say hello to her for me," Zhu Fei said, "This hairpin was made a few years ago, and I haven't worn it yet, I hope she won't dislike it." ”

Lin Yunyan accepted it: "How can you dislike it?" It's a pity, I really wanted to invite you to a wedding banquet. ”

"Dai Xiaozhi, you don't dislike me, I won't go to other people's houses to eat and drink," Zhu Fei laughed, "Wait a little longer, I will be filial piety, and then I will go with you to enjoy the flowers and hang a horse." But let's talk about it, I'm not as good as I used to be, I don't have so much money on hand, and I'll have to rely on losing too much! ”

Lin Yunyan smiled and bent her eyes.

She likes Zhu Fei like this.

I have suffered, hurt, and cried, and I will not be ashamed of my tears, but I will move forward with my chest straight.

"You can't go to the mansion to eat," Lin Yunyan stretched out her hand to pull her, and said, "You can go with me to the street to eat some snacks." ”

Zhu Fei couldn't resist her, and when she heard the voice of her uncle coming back, she simply responded.

The uncles still want to revive the family and try their best to work the officialdom.

A few days ago, my uncle, who was an official outside, wrote back, also to inquire about the rebellion of King Jin in Beijing, hoping to catch the dead mouse with a blind cat, and did not dare to arrest the King of Jin, just wanted to catch a few little rats to earn some credit.

Since Fu Guogong was involved in this case, the uncles would definitely come to the county lord to inquire about it.

In that case, it is better to avoid it altogether. (End of chapter)
