Xu Anbang told Yun Xue everything he had heard. It turned out that since Mama Gui returned to Beijing from the Northeast the year before last, she was punished by the old Guogong and punished her family to work in Zhuangzi.

This Gui Mama is the Yun family's dowry, and she is also the girl who has served the Yun family since she was a child, and after she followed the Yun family to the Guogong Mansion, she became the Yun family's right-hand man. Later, a relative of Shen Xuan's side took a fancy to Mama Gui, and with the acquiescence of Shen Xuan and the Yun family, the two became relatives.

Mama Gui gained power in the Guogong Mansion, and the family was also arrogant. Mama Gui's two sons, relying on the power of the Guogong Mansion outside, mingled with a group of ruffians, but they were snake-like characters. However, since Mama Gui was thrown to Zhuangzi, their family has been a little worse.

"Madam, this Mama Gui's two sons are good gamblers. I have been wandering around several gambling houses in the capital, and it is said that I have recently incurred a lot of gambling debts. The money that Mama Gui had accumulated before was almost lost by her son, and I heard that in recent days, those two boys have owed some gambling debts. Xu Anbang finally said.

Yun Xue raised her eyebrows, "According to what you say, Mama Gui loves her two sons very much?" ”

"yes, it hurts." Xu Anbang replied.

Yun Xue thought about it for a while and felt that this might be an opportunity to take advantage of. "In this way, you go to Bofu and find Song Tianfu. Just say that I have something to look for him, let him come over. ”

Xu Anbang hurriedly retreated when he heard this, and then went to the next door to find Tianfu. Today is the fifteenth, and the yamen has not yet opened the seal, so Tianfu coaxes Yunxia and the eldest princess at home. As soon as he heard that it was the eldest sister looking for him, Tianfu hurried to come to the Hou Mansion. Yun Lei heard about it, and he had to come with him, so Tianfu took Yun Lei to the Hou Mansion together.

Yun Xue met Tianfu and Yun Lei in the flower hall of the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion, and then told Tianfu what she wanted to do.

Tianfu is the deputy envoy of the Soldiers and Horses Command Department of the capital, and assists the Shuntianfu in managing the security of the capital. Those casinos, and any other ruffians, are also under their control. Especially when there was a rebellion in the capital before, Tianfu was in charge of the inspection of the capital for a while, and he had contact with these people at that time.

Yun Xue wanted to use the hands of these people to force Mama Gui to open her mouth and tell what happened back then. This Mama Gui is the confidant of the Yun family, and the Yun family can't hide it from her in general matters.

Tianfu listened to Yun Xue's words and smiled, "Eldest sister, you can rest assured about this matter, I will definitely help you handle it." "For him, it was a piece of cake. Don't look at Tianfu's age, but he is delicate and thoughtful. This is also why Yun Xue asked Tianfu to help, instead of Yun Zhen to help.

"Brother Tianfu, you are such an official, you can't contact them directly, why don't you let me help you." Yun Lei's eyes were rolling at this time, and he didn't know what the hell he was thinking, so he had to help Tianfu do something.

Tianfu looked at Yun Xue, "Eldest sister, what do you say?" ”

Yun Xue stared at Yun Lei, and Yun Lei was a little uncomfortable before saying, "Are you uncomfortable being idle during the New Year?" Your third brother hasn't forced you to study recently? "Yun Ting is very strict with Yun Lei, but Yun Lei is very smart, no matter how much homework he does, he can do it.

"The third brother is going to leave for his hometown to take the county exam the day after tomorrow, and he is so busy that he doesn't have time to care about me. Eldest sister, let me help you, Brother Tianfu is an official after all, and it won't be good if he lets people know about it in the future. I'm different, as long as someone pulls the string, I get to know those people. There is no need for Brother Tianfu to come forward, and it saves people from grabbing the handle. Yun Lei said with a grin.

Yun Xue looked at Yun Lei, this kid is very smart, speaking of which, it is time for him to go through the experience. "Okay, you follow Tianfu and give him a hand."

For her younger brothers, Yun Xue never specifically asked them to do anything, and always did things according to their preferences. Anyway, the younger brothers are very worry-free, and they won't mess around. Yun Lei, this kid, compared to Yun Zhen and Tianfulai, almost didn't suffer much. This kid, it's good for him to see the world in advance, so he can save himself from studying all day long, and he has become a nerd.

When Yun Lei heard that his sister agreed, he jumped up with joy, "Eldest sister, don't worry, I will not let you down." ”

It was not early, Yun Xue wanted to keep them here for lunch, but the two of them did not stay. "Eldest sister, Yunxia said that I would accompany her for lunch, and we won't be here." Tianfu said with a smile. "There are lanterns everywhere at night, and the soldiers and horses of the command department will be dispatched to patrol, and tomorrow the yamen will start to run errands, and there will be no time to accompany Yunxia at that time."

Because Yunxia is friendly with the eldest princess, the two of them alternate between the Bofu and the Wangfu, and Tianfu is also busy, so they don't have time to pester Tianfu all the time. During the New Year, it can be regarded as following Yunxia's wishes, and she pesters Tianfu every day and does not let go. Tianfu dotes on Yunxia very much, no matter what Yunxia asks, he will meet it, not to mention just accompanying her to eat.

Yun Xue sighed when she heard this, "Tianfu, you can't be too used to Yunxia, you are like this to her, how can you be good in the future?" "Tianfu is fourteen years old this year, and it is only a matter of three or two years to say that he is married. If Yunxia is allowed to entangle Tianfu like this, I am afraid that it will really delay Tianfu.

"Eldest sister, it's okay, Yunxia is still young." Tianfu smiled nonchalantly. "Okay, I'll take care of things, big sister, let's go." After saying that, Tianfu and Yunlei left.

After Tianfu Yun Lei left, Yun Xue sat there thinking about things. The whole thing is still messy, and I can't find a clue. Moreover, after finding the evidence, what to do next is also a question.

When Shen Hongjun came in, he saw Yun Xia sitting there pondering, he came to Yun Xue's side and put his arm around Yun Xue's shoulder, "What are you thinking?" So fascinating. ”

Yun Xue shook her head and didn't say anything.

"Let's eat something, I'm going to enter the palace in the afternoon, and I'm afraid I won't come back too early in the evening." Shen Hongjun knows Yun Xue better, as soon as he encounters that kind of banquet, Yun Xue can't eat much, and sometimes he will starve. So at this time, you have to stare at Yunxue and eat more.

The meal came up quickly, and Shen Hongjun coaxed Yun Xue and ate a lot of things before he stopped. "It's okay, don't worry. Even in the palace, you don't have to tremble, your aunt is very good to you, you don't have to be afraid of anything. He comforted Yun Xue again.

Yun Xue was actually not nervous about these at all, but seeing that Shen Hongjun cared so much about herself, Yun Xue's heart was still very happy.

The two of them cleaned up, and the girls dressed up Yun Xue, and went out straight to Miyagi. Tonight, there will be fireworks and lanterns in the palace. Generally speaking, Emperor Yonghui is a very diligent and thrifty emperor, and rarely holds feasts and the like.

But there is no big banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, and if the Lantern Festival is not yet, I always feel that something is missing. So every year is the Lantern Festival, and some famous meritorious families are invited into the palace to enjoy the moon and watch the lanterns together.

It is said that the clouds cover the moon on the fifteenth day of August, and the snow lights up on the fifteenth day of the first month. This is really true, when Shen Hongjun and Yun Xue came out of the Hou Mansion, the sky began to fall with snowflakes.

"The lanterns tonight must be very beautiful. In the imperial garden in the palace, tonight must be very beautiful, you should take a good look. Shen Hongjun hugged Yun Xue's shoulder and smiled. It's a pity that I can't accompany you to the city for a walk, and there will be lanterns on several important streets in the capital tonight. Shen Hongjun had some regrets.

"The lanterns in the imperial garden, I don't know how many times more beautiful than the ones outside, let's just look at them in the palace, but there is no need to squeeze outside." Yun Xue has been tired and panicked these days, but in fact, she doesn't have the mental and physical strength to go shopping.

The two got into the carriage and came all the way to the palace gate. A forbidden army guard came forward to check the token for entering and leaving the palace, and then let Shen Hongjun and his wife go. The palace banquet was held in the Zichen Hall in the middle of the imperial garden, so Shen Hongjun and his party went towards the imperial garden.

In the palace, where can I take a car again? Moreover, Yun Xue is not the wife of the palace, so she can only walk to the imperial garden. Fortunately, they entered the palace from the north gate, and they didn't have to go far.

In front of the Zichen Palace, there are countless palace people and chamberlains waiting. As soon as Shen Hongjun and his wife arrived, they were taken away by the palace and the chamberlain. Yun Xue followed behind the two palace maids and came all the way to the side hall, where the queen will meet and feast with all the foreign wives today.

At this time, there were already many women waiting in the side hall, Yun Xue took a look, and saw Jinxiu and Yun Ni. She walked quickly to the two of them and asked in surprise, "Yunni, why are you here too?" ”

Yun Ni is going to marry Yun Lin, but after all, she has not yet married, so it is said that she will not be able to come to this kind of occasion. Come to think of it, it was the grace of the queen mother who specially ordered Yunni to enter the palace.

"The queen mother said, let me come into the palace to accompany her." Yun Ni smiled brightly, and the future mother-in-law valued herself like this, which was the best affirmation for Yun Ni.

Yun Xue nodded, Yun Ni can have such a blessing, it's good. I used to be worried, afraid that the emperor and queen would not like Yunni, but now it seems that the queen loves Yunni very much. "Okay, that's fine."

Yun Xue looked at her sister, and saw that she was dressed very luxuriously and decently today, and Yun Xia was also relieved. Looking at Yunni's appearance, she really has a bit of the posture of a princess. Yun Xue couldn't help but sigh a little, the little girl has really grown up.

Yun Xue and the three of them sat together and talked in a low voice about the banquet for a while. Jinxiu said that she was from home, she was not like Yunxue, and Aunt Fu and Aunt Fang helped, so it was even more tiring. Fortunately, it was the first year that the Han family spent the New Year in the capital, and there were not many acquaintances in the capital, and it was just that some people in the Yunzhen Yamen needed a banquet, so they could be regarded as coping with it.

"Eldest sister, I just knew that these big families were so tired for the New Year. In the past few days, I have fallen asleep at night when I am tired, and I really can't stand it. I'm afraid that the Hou Mansion is busier than here, how are you? Don't tire yourself out. When Jinxiu said this, she couldn't help but complain quietly.
