Chapter 395: Envy

Jin Jiashu listened carefully to Haitang's narration, and as he listened, he couldn't help but recall the past he heard from his nursing mother.

"Catalpa tree? There is also a catalpa tree in our yard, when I was a child, my nurse once fried catalpa tree flowers for me, and she said that my mother is the best at this. As soon as he said this, Jin Jiashu came to his senses and immediately patched it, "The nurse said that my grandmother was very good at frying catalpa tree flowers when she was alive, and I think it was the relationship between my mother and my aunt that I was used to, and I also learned the trick from my grandmother." ”

Haijiao and Begonia pretended not to hear the flaw in his words, nodded yes with a smile, and turned the matter over.

Then there were Xu Gongren who treated Mrs. Gui's poisonous sores, accompanied Wu Ke back to the small courtyard to see Mrs. Gui's mother and daughter, and when Mrs. Gui scolded Wu Ke, she pleaded for him to say good things, and so on. Even the people of Xu Gong made clothes and snacks for the Wu family brothers and sisters, and coaxed Wu Qiong to play. Wu Qiong mentioned in the letter about the past of the Xu Gong people, she basically did not leave behind.

However, considering that "Pomegranate Flower" is an unknown survivor of the Kunning Palace fire and is related to the death of the six princes, Haitang did not elaborate on her experience, and only vaguely mentioned the words "other palace people". Such an omission highlighted the Xu Gong people, as if all the things that the Xu Gong people and the pomegranate flowers did were counted on her alone, and she seemed to always revolve around the Wu family brothers and sisters.

Jin Jiashu tried to listen calmly, but he still couldn't help but indulge in it, eager to ask Haitang about every detail, and wanted to know how "aunt" lived in Cining Palace during those years. When she took care of the Wu family brothers and sisters, how gentle and careful was she? The more details he knew, the more he felt as if he could imagine how his "aunt" would care for him if he could grow up with him.

However, there are only so many details that Begonia can provide. She didn't want to ask Wu Qiong too much, so she could only try to guide the other party to recall the past, and write down all the past events she remembered on the letter. But for the part that Wu Qiong didn't write, it was impossible for her to ask questions openly.

She quickly finished telling what she knew, and seeing that Jin Jiashu was still unsatisfied, she said calmly: "That's all I know." When Wu Qiong lived in the palace, she was still young and couldn't remember many things clearly. She seemed to have asked her brother Wu Ke about it, but Wu Ke refused to say more. However, he is three years older than Wu Qiong, and he has already remembered things when he entered the palace, so he must know more than Wu Qiong. If you really want to inquire about more details, why don't you find a way to ask Wu Ke? ”

Jin Jiashu was quite moved, but he had concerns in his heart.

Haijiao smiled and said, "Last time he came to apologize for his aunt, didn't you guys talk about it?" Now you both want to live in Chang'an for a long time, and you both plan to worship my cousin as a teacher, and you will be classmates and brothers in the future, and there is a chance to meet. You get along with him, and when you get acquainted, you can ask him about the old things of Cining Palace. Although he looks like his mouth is very tight, you are not listening to the secret of the forbidden world, but you just want to know the news of your aunt, your aunt was just an ordinary palace person at that time, not a harem concubine, and he will not be jealous if he says it. ”

Jin Jiashu felt that his words were reasonable, so he secretly wrote them down.

It's not early, Aunt Cui has already come to urge their brother and sister twice, and Haijiao got up and said, "It's too late today, let's talk about it here first, you can rest early." Tomorrow, let's go see the new house, and I'll talk about it in detail tomorrow night. ”

Begonia also stood up.

Jin Jiashu hurriedly got up and sent them out, turned around and sat back on the side of the kang, and immediately turned over the pen and paper, and wrote down several things about "aunt" that he had just heard, planning to slowly look at the aftertaste in the future.

Just writing and writing, he suddenly noticed something strange.

Didn't his "aunt" go into the palace to wait for the Queen Mother? Why do you always revolve around the Wu family? After Wu Ke turned seven years old, he moved to live in another courtyard, and when he went back to greet his aunt and wife, why did he always ask his "aunt" to accompany him? Wu Ke was so old at that time, could he still not recognize the road?

Thinking like this, Jin Jiashu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Soon after he turned 100 days, his biological mother left him and went to the palace, and since then the mother and son have been separated from each other and have never seen each other again. He was not cared for by his mother since he was a child, and he was rejected by his father, and after his stepmother entered the door, his life was even more difficult. has grown so big, only the nurse depends on him. And now, he has lost even his nursing mother......

He has both parents, why should he endure such pain? He's a man with a mother! But my mother can only care about other people's children and take care of other people's children, but she can't even see him......

Jin Jiashu only felt that his heart was empty, as if a hole had been broken, and he was so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe. How is he going to fill this hole......

Haijiao and Begonia left the second courtyard, and without disturbing the main house, they had to send the little sister back to the backyard directly.

On the way, he was still a little uncertain in his heart, and asked in a low voice: "Will our hint be too subtle?" Can he hear it? Can you find that there are clues to the Seven Princes hidden in those words you said? ”

Haitang asked him to calm down: "Brother, don't worry, this is just the beginning, we can't make it too obvious, say it a few more times, and he will naturally slowly notice that something is wrong." This kind of thing can only be done if he is willing to take the initiative to write a letter to the palace. We can only be an assistant and remind us that if we act too publicly, it is easy to arouse suspicion. My brother also said that he is a smart man, and if he becomes suspicious, we will not be able to act well in the future. ”

Hai Jiao nodded and took a deep breath: "I can see it as a bystander." He was very concerned about his aunt's experience in the palace. When you talk about how careful and thoughtful the people of Xu Gong took care of the Wu family's brothers and sisters, the envy in his eyes was about to overflow. As you said, envy, jealousy and hatred are sometimes just a thin line. We will try our best to keep him from resentful, but as long as the envy in his heart is strong enough, sooner or later he will take the initiative to ask Wu Ke about the old affairs of Cining Palace. When the time comes, it will be more reasonable for us to introduce Wu Ke into the game. ”

Although they were just coaxing Jin Jiashu, what Haitang said was also the truth. When Wu Qiong lived in Cining Palace, she was too young and could remember only a limited amount of things. Mrs. Gui is unpredictable. Compared with their mother and daughter, Wu Ke is the more suitable source of information. It's just that he has a tight mouth and refuses to reveal his tone easily. The brothers and sisters of the Hai family have no position to ask him about something, but Jin Jiashu is different. He wanted to know the news of his only relative in the past, Wu Ke, who had been cared for by the Xu Gong people, how long could he carry it in the face of the Xu Gong people's lonely "nephew"?

As long as Wu Ke revealed the news to Jin Jiashu, Haijiao Haitang was sure to hear the follow-up from the latter, and then helped analyze and come up with ideas as a friend, guiding Jin Jiashu to discover that there was a mysterious big man hidden in Cining Palace, and then in the name of worrying about the safety of her "aunt" and the Queen Mother, she sent a letter to Concubine Xu Xian, persuading her to persuade the Empress Dowager Zhou to let this mysterious figure leave the palace.

Even if it was just to remind the Empress Dowager Zhou and Concubine Xu Xian that the Seven Princes would continue to hide in Cining Palace, how much risk would there be, and guide them to think about the safety of the Seven Princes and change his hiding place for him, it would also reduce the possibility of Sun Guifei discovering the truth.

Considering that although the emperor refused to recognize the Seven Princes, he still included him in the ranking of princes, if Empress Dowager Zhou and Concubine Xu Xian could ask for the emperor's help, the Seventh Princes' moving plan would probably be more secretive and thoughtful.

In fact, as long as the emperor is willing to protect this son, no matter how powerful Sun Guifei is, it is impossible for Sun Guifei to really do anything to the seventh prince, otherwise she would have gotten rid of the eighth prince all these years.

The question is, how much father-son affection can the emperor have for this second son?
