Chapter 57: Classmates
The little guy guarding the door usually follows Yu Tong to run errands for him, Yu Zizhen has a slight impression of him, at this time he is dragging the middle-aged man with a sad face, signaling him not to block the door of the small courtyard where Yu Tong works, "It's not that I refuse to be accommodating, it's that the prince just came to find the big housekeeper, you better come over later!" ”
The sorrow on the middle-aged man's face was even heavier, "Shizi...... Alas......"
Yu Zizhen: ...... What's the matter, it seems that she fed this big brother three catties of coptis chinensis?
She looked at Yu Tong, who had sent her out.
Yu Tong was a little embarrassed, "This is the gardener who was responsible for serving the flowers and trees in Sanjin Courtyard before. ”
Yu Zizhen raised her eyebrows, no wonder she had this expression when she mentioned her, it turned out to be the servant of the Sanjin Courtyard who was driven away by her.
Seeing his miserable appearance that the sky was about to fall, Yu Zizhen asked Yu Tong, "Why does he have such an expression?" ”
Yu Tong was even more embarrassed, he lowered his voice and said: "He is the only one in their family who works in the mansion, and now that he has lost his errand, their family will soon run out of food." ”
Yu Zizhen frowned, and looked at Yu Tong's eyes with four big words written in Ming Huang - don't coax me.
Yu Tong understood, and he explained vaguely, "This Jiang Yunshan is different from others, he is foreign, and he is brainless ...... doing things."
At Shang Yu Zizhen's smiling face, Yu Tong changed his words, "If he hadn't really had the ability, others would have squeezed him out a long time ago." ”
Yu Zizhen snorted meaninglessly, and she walked out of the courtyard, "Jiang Yunshan, right?" Come to Lumingxuan this afternoon and let me see if you are really capable. ”
Jiang Yunshan and the little guy who was dragging him turned around in unison, with almost the same heart and horror on their faces.
God, when they talk about their own son, they happen to hear it by the bad-tempered son, how is this good?
Yu Zizhen was amused by the ghostly expressions of the two, and she turned her head to Yu Daodao: "You can also bring his body deed." ”
Yu Tong responded respectfully and respectfully, "yes".
Yu Zizhen waved his hand at him, signaling that he didn't have to send it again, and then walked to Dr. Feng's courtyard with a twist.
Not long after Dr. Feng got up, he was slowly practicing the five-bird opera in the courtyard at this time, and when he saw Yu Zizhen, he hurriedly stopped his movements and came over to greet him.
Yu Zizhen said to him straight to the point: "I'm sorry for you to go to me in the afternoon, I have seven new girls there, I want to ask you to help them recuperate." ”
Doctor Feng is still very kind when conditions permit, it turns out that when he was on duty in the palace in the north, he would also give the guards and subordinates of the palace to see the diseases and treat the injuries in his spare time, so Yu Zizhen asked him to diagnose the pulse of the seven girls, and he did not feel insulted because the other party was just a rough maid.
The two made an appointment with Dr. Feng to pass the hour, and Yu Zizhen rushed to the palace with Yaoguang.
In the carriage, she closed her eyes, as if she was taking the opportunity to close her eyes and recuperate, but in fact she was listening to the classmates who introduced her to her by the system.
Mr. Jiang also asked someone to give her a copy of the similar information last night, but she was busy writing plans and making up homework last night, and the information that Mr. Jiang gave her, she just roughly flipped through it and put it aside.
Based on the information provided by Mr. Jiang and the two parties in the system, Yu Zizhen came to the following conclusions:
There are two royal children in the south study, one is the eldest prince Xiao Yuanjin, and the other is Xiao Shaoke, the youngest son of the former emperor who was raised by the queen mother.
Xiao Shaoke's two companions, one is Lu Heng, the maiden nephew of the Empress Dowager Da Lu and the cousin of the Empress Xiao Lu, and the other is Wan Jingrong, the eldest son of Wan Shitai, the in-law of the Lu family and the Governor of the Left Army of the Five Military Governor's Mansion.
These two people are not only in-laws, but also have similar temperaments to each other, relying on the power of the Lu family and the prestige of the queen mother and the queen's aunts and nephews in the palace, these two people not only do not take the frail and sick prince in their eyes, but also look down on Xiao Shaoke, the youngest son of the first emperor who admires the Lu family's snort.
In places where the division commanders can't see, they not only often show disrespect and contempt for the eldest prince Xiao Yuanjin, but also privately bully the first emperor's youngest son, Xiao Shaoke, which can be said to be a real bully of the South Study.
And the two companions of the eldest prince Xiao Yuanjin.
Fan Zhongming, who was born in the famous Fan family, and his grandfather Fan Tingnai was the first assistant of the dynasty, and like the elder brother of the Da Lu clan, Lu Tong, he was also one of the three princes and one of the important ministers appointed by the previous emperor as an auxiliary minister.
In addition, Fan Zhongming also has a father Fan Bowen, who is the left servant of the household department.
In addition to the father and son who were officials in the court and held great power, there were more than a dozen other people in the Fan clan who were officials in various parts of Daqi, and there were countless in-laws, old friends, students, and the same year in the clan.
It is said that such a person with a strong family background and himself is extremely intelligent and clever, the Lu family should prevent him from becoming the companion of the eldest prince, the reason why they did not do this is because the people of the Fan family do not have the so-called concept of loyalty in their minds at all, and when they do anything, they will only give priority to the interests of their family.
Rather than charging into battle in order to support orthodoxy, they are more willing to think about how to make the Fan clan evergreen.
Because of this, although Fan Zhongming is one of the companions of the eldest prince, his maintenance of the eldest prince is very limited, and his loyalty is almost none.
He is the eldest grandson of the qualified Fan family, and like his grandfather and father, he will weigh the pros and cons of everything he does in advance, and will subconsciously put the interests of the family first.
Diametrically opposed to his personality is Yang Shixian, another companion of the eldest prince. Yang Shi is not inferior to Fan Zhongming at all in terms of intelligence and cleverness, and the most rare thing is that he is still both civil and military.
Influenced by his grandfather, he was dedicated to maintaining the legitimacy of the imperial family, and he had always defended the eldest prince who was the eldest son of the emperor, and was very loyal.
His grandfather, Yang Zhengde, was the Imperial Historian of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and his father died early because of an assassination, although there is no evidence, but the family knows that his father actually died in the revenge of the Lu family against his grandfather.
The Yang family's ancestral home is Jiangnan, Yang Zhengde was born in a poor family, and he was a representative of the Qingliu/Hanmen officials in the court, and he was also a staunch royalist, so he had many conflicts with the Lu family.
The Lu clan is powerful, and the Fan clan and Qingliu led by Yang Zhengde have to form an alliance with each other, but because of their different philosophies, while they cooperate, they have actually been secretly rubbing against each other.
Fan Zhongming and Yang Shixian, who are the companions of the eldest prince, are the same, they are allied because of interests, but they are always on guard against each other.
In addition to these two factions, there is also Xiao Shaoke, who is not relied on on both sides of the South Study.
Xiao Shaoke is the half-brother of Xiao Shaoyuan, the current emperor of Great Qi, his biological mother died early, and he himself has been raised by the Queen Mother as a backup emperor.
However, because the current emperor Xiao Shaoyuan is obedient enough, the Empress Dowager Da Lu has no idea of changing the emperor for the time being, so Xiao Shaoke is not very valued on the Empress Dowager's side.
