Chapter 4: The Three Wonders of the Yun Family (2)
Hua Menglan also seemed to have not been embraced by Tianyao for a long time, and a trace of shame couldn't help but show on her still delicate face.
Seeing her husband's unnatural behavior, she gently pushed Tianyao away, touched her eldest son's head, and said, "Look, he is taller than your father, and he is still like a child."
He said to Tianxiang, who was covering his mouth and snickering: "What are you laughing at, don't think that you can hide me and your father from me by using a machine dog to put dog shit at the door today, you are also born by us."
Over the years, most of the responsibility for your eldest brother's troubles has been on you.
You spend all day at home tinkering with quirky gadgets, and you always take them out for experiments.
After getting into trouble, I will ask your eldest brother to help you, and you are the most headache for us among the three brothers and sisters. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, Madame is right, this kid is the worst of the three.
You see, if it weren't for Madame's reminder, I would have missed this kid again today. ”
Yun Che's words obviously showed that Hua Menglan's plan to lead the water to the east had worked.
"Dad, you can't say that, brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are gold, this is what you taught.
Besides, I'm only 12 years old, and although my eldest brother is only four years older than me, he feels like my dad when he walks out the door.
You've been busy, and if I have trouble, of course my big brother will solve it.
Speaking of the stuff I tinkered with, you forgot, I spent more than two months making the hair dryer in your house.
Dad, the mechanism on your desk and the secret room on the inner wall were designed by me, and you praised me at the time for saying that they were more ingenious than those designed by the imperial craftsmen.
There are also godfather's Trojan horses, big brother's sparring puppets, and little sister's toys are all made by me......."
Yun Tianxiang saw that his parents had brought the topic to him, and hurriedly told him about his achievements.
"Haha, you ghost, your father doesn't really blame you, look at you in a hurry.
By the way, Aunt Sun on Waicheng East Street asked me to make fake canes and machine chairs for her xiexie you made for her, and it is much easier for her to go out now.
Brother Yun, you have such three well-behaved children, eldest brother, I am really envious, but it's a pity that I don't have this blessing."
Li Mubai said with emotion from the bottom of his heart.
"Brother Li, isn't our child your child, besides, doesn't Tianxiang's kid recognize you as a godfather?
What's more, you also accepted such a well-behaved and smart good apprentice as Yu'er, you have watched them grow up since you were a child, and you will enjoy their blessings in the future. ”
Seeing that Li Mubai was a little sad, Hua Menglan hurriedly opened her mouth to convince her.
"Yes, big brother, do you know what those powerful sons call our three baby bumps now?
The three wonders of the Yun family, Tianyao was even named the first of the wonders, the first time I heard it, I was so angry that I wanted to dismantle this bastard.
Later, slowly, I thought it was a little interesting, and the more I thought about it, the more relevant it became, and now I am proud of it. ”
In order to dissolve Li Mubai, Yun Che obviously talked a little nonsense.
"Hehe, I'm fine, I just remembered some of the past and was a little out of shape.
It's not too early, you guys rest early, and I'll check on Xiang'er tomorrow. ”
Li Mubai looked at the sky outside the window and said goodbye to Yun Che and his wife.
Yun Che sent Li Mubai out of the Duke's Palace, and arranged a carriage to send Li Mubai back to Yiranju.
Hua Menglan also asked Tianyao and Tianxiang to go back to the room to rest early, and after that, the two couples wanted to go back to the room to rest.
At this moment, a family member walked up to Yun Che, bowed down and said, "Patriarch, there is a man in black outside the mansion who asks to see him, saying that there is a secret report that must be handed over to you in person. ”
Yun Che nodded to indicate that he understood, Hua Menglan saw that her husband had something to do, so she went back to the room to rest first, and Yun Che asked the family to bring the man in black to the study to meet him.
Late at night, the first duke's mansion Yun Che study.
There were two red candles lit on the desk, and the candlelight slightly illuminated a radius of several meters.
Half-kneeling in front of the desk was a thin man dressed in black with a few blood stains on his body.
The man held a letter-like object in his hand, raised his head, stretched out his hand, and looked at the person sitting at the desk.
Yun Che looked at the half-kneeling man in black and took a sip of tea.
Then he stood up, walked up to the man in black, took the letter, opened it, and read it.
The man in black saw Yun Che take the letter, lowered his hand, and exhaled deeply.
After a while, Yun Che, who had read the letter, put the letter on the candle flame and burned it, then helped the man in black up, took out a gold ingot from his bosom, handed it to him, and said:
"Thank you for your hard work, you take this money, go back to recuperate, and then go to the Supervision Department to reinstate when the injury is healed, remember, you have not been to me today. ”
The man in black was familiar with Yun Che's character, so he didn't refuse, took the bounty and put it in his arms, bowed to Yun Che and left the study.
Yun Che was the only one left, looking at the candle flame swaying in the wind with solemnity and a hint of doubt.
After a while, Yun Che came back to his senses, first went to the bedroom to look at Hua Menglan, who was already asleep, and then returned to the study and pressed the mechanism on the desk.
I saw the desk separate from the middle, move to the left and right, and a serpentine handle rose from the base.
Yun Che stretched out his left hand, grabbed the handle and turned to the left for 1 turn.
I only heard the sound of "click", and the bookcase was driven by the mechanism, revealing a secret passage through the stone door.
But instead of walking towards the stone gate, Yun Che continued to turn the handle to the right three times.
I saw the entire base rise from the ground, slowly revealing a passage that could accommodate two people in parallel.
Every time Yun Che opened this secret passage, he couldn't help but think of Yun Tianxiang, a genius son.
Yun Che stepped into the passage, and the oil lamps on the walls on both sides were blown by the wind and lit up on their own.
After Yun Che entered the secret room, he pressed an oil lamp on the left wall, and all the mechanisms returned to their original positions.
The secret room is the size of most of a study, divided into two rooms, with six rows of shelves placed in the outer room.
The shelves are full of sealed haode information bags, and if you look closer, you will find that each information bag has a person's name and corresponding official position.
Yun Che walked to one of the shelves and took out an intelligence bag, on which was the name of Ning Zhiyuan, the twelve princes of the empire.
Judging from the traces of sealing wax on the intelligence bag, Yun Che has seen Ning Zhiyuan's information more than once recently.
Looking through the information about Ning Zhiyuan collected again, and linking it to the letter sent by the man in black today, Yun Che seemed to have made a decision.
After putting away the information bag, Yun Che walked to the secret room, where dozens of bird cages were placed, and each cage contained a carrier pigeon.
Each birdcage has a number plate hung on it, and only Yun Che knows that each number plate corresponds to a family secret agent, who is the elite of the intelligence network formed by Yun Che.
Yun Che took out a secret note, and used the pen on the stone table in the inner room to write the words "Tomorrow morning, bring the treasure into the palace".
Carefully fold the slip of paper, take out the pigeon from the No. 3 birdcage, tie the note to the pigeon's left paw, walk to the vent of the secret room, and release the pigeon.
After doing all this, Yun Che walked out of the secret room and returned to the bedroom to rest, but he didn't know that there was a conspiracy against the Yun clan unfolding.
