Chapter 721: Luthier

As soon as Yu Xi finished discussing with Meng Fangjun, Xu Wu opened the curtain and came in and said, "Princess, Mrs. Lin is here." Although I told him to go and tell Mrs. Lin before, this matter still needs to be reported.

Without raising her head, Yuxi said, "Go!"

After going to the living room, Xu Wu said: "Sister-in-law, there are many things to do today, and the princess has no time to see you in the morning." Not to mention other people, even the Han family has something to do, and Mrs. Han only came here in the evening.

Lin said: "I can wait."

Xu Wudao: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to wait, I know everything about Yu Cong. The matter of Yu Cong taking concubines in the south of the Yangtze River is all fiction, sister-in-law, don't believe it."

Lin looked up at Xu Wu and asked, "Did the concubine say it herself?"

Xu Wu nodded and said, "Well, the princess asked me to tell you the story."

Lin's frown was relaxed, but she didn't get up: "I want the princess to tell me in person."

Xu Wu felt very uncomfortable when he heard this, and he didn't speak so politely: "Sister-in-law, the princess is so busy every day that she doesn't have time to take care of her subordinates' private affairs. This time, it's because Yu Cong has been with the prince for many years. It was an exception. Besides, not to mention that Yu Cong did not take concubines, even the concubine is not in the hands of the princess."

Since Lin's marriage to Yu Cong, Xu Wu has always been very polite to her. Today is the first time that I don't give face like this.

Lin felt uncomfortable and said, "I just want to get a definite answer."

Xu Wu felt that his patience was about to run out: "Sister-in-law, I told you just now that Yu Cong did not take concubines in Jiangnan."

Lin pursed her lips and said nothing. She insisted on getting an answer from Yu Xi's mouth because she couldn't trust Xu Wu. Xu Wu and Yu Cong are brothers, so it's natural to turn to Yu Cong for anything. But Yu Xi is different, Yu Xi has no friendship with Yu Cong, and since they are both women, it is impossible for her to favor Yu Cong. Yu Cong really took a concubine in Jiangnan, so he would definitely tell her the truth.

Lin didn't even think about it. She had previously said that if Yu Cong took a concubine, she would die. Who would dare to tell her the truth.

Xu Wu's face was ugly, and he said: "In that case, then I have nothing to say, my sister-in-law can wait here slowly!" After speaking, he turned around and left the living room.

Seeing Xu Wu's ugly face, Xu Daniu hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter, boss?"

Xu Wudao: "Nothing."

Xu Daniu smiled and said: "Don't hide it. Yu Cong's daughter-in-law came here, she must be asking about concubines. Boss, did you tell her that Yu Cong didn't take concubines, and she didn't believe it?" The news from the palace, Still very well-informed.

Xu Wu said unkindly: "Are you too busy? If you are too busy talking, go to the martial arts field and practice a few more times."

Xu Daniu was not afraid of Xu Wu, so he said with a smile [UUReading 00kxs]: "I just came back from the martial arts training ground! Boss, if you ask me, you don't need to talk to her at all, or just take a concubine, making it seem like the sky is falling Seems like that." He was ashamed to come to the princess for this matter, he was really speechless.

There are a few rich and powerful men who don't take concubines. Xu Daniu took two concubines himself.

Xu Wu turned his head to look at Xu Daniu, and said: "You have the ability to tell the princess." If the princess heard Xu Daniu's words, she would definitely not have a good face.

Xu Daniu would not be frightened by these words, and said: "How can Yu Cong be the same as the prince! Yu Congcong has not yet had a child, and it is only natural for him to take concubines to have children. The prince has four sons, and all of them are extremely intelligent. If my two brats are half as smart as the young masters, let alone taking a concubine, I would be willing to give her up." As for the twins born by Lin, they were ignored by Xu Daniu.

Yu Cong said: "The mouth is so sharp,

Why don't you just stop working in the palace, find a civil job to make use of your strengths. "

Xu Daniu said cheerfully: "Then you go to the princess and give me a good word, and find me an official to be an official." These words are completely joking. Being an official is not as comfortable as being in the palace.

Being interrupted by Xu Daniu, Xu Wu's mood improved a lot: "Stop talking about it here, get busy with business."

Back in the courtyard, Xu Wu saw that Yuxi was talking with Pan Zhifu, so he didn't bother him. When Yuxi finished talking, it was already a quarter of noon.

Xu Wu walked in and said to Yuxi: "Princess, Mrs. Lin said that she must listen to the words of the concubine herself, so she will believe it. She is still waiting in the living room!"

Yu Xi wasn't angry at all, and said with a smile: "What? She doesn't believe your words?"

Seeing Xu Wu nodded, Yu Xi smiled lightly and said, "I have never lied to anyone since I was a child. I never thought that I would make an exception today because of some messy things." Not so much because of Yu Cong , or rather for Yunqing. Otherwise, she wouldn't bother with such bad things.

Xu Wu's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "If the princess doesn't want to talk about it, then she will disappear."

The smile on Yuxi's face disappeared long ago, and she said: "If I don't see her, what should I do if she is dying in the palace? If it spreads out, do you think I have done anything to her?" No matter how unlikable Lin's temper is, Well, now that Yu Cong is fighting outside, she has to appease Mrs. Lin just for this. If Yu Cong was in Pickaxe City, she wouldn't have made trouble with the Lin family!

Seeing Mrs. Lin, Yuxi didn't greet Mrs. Lin, and said directly: "My lord has already written back to me, saying that Yu Cong didn't take concubines in Jiangnan."

Lin hesitated and asked: "Didn't the concubine say last time that she would send someone to inquire? I don't know what those people said."

When Xu Wu heard this, his face turned dark. Do you need to send someone to inquire? She is very idle as an intelligence officer in Jiangnan.

Even Yun Qing can't be trusted, Yu Xi couldn't help laughing, and said: "You can't trust Xu Wu, could it be that you can't even trust the prince?"

Lin hurriedly explained: "It's not that I don't trust the lord, I just think that the lord is so busy every day, so he may not be clear about my lord's affairs."

Yuxi was not angry either, and still said with a gentle face: "Now the road is more peaceful than before, you can send some trustworthy people to Jiangnan to inquire!" There are still bandits in Jiangnan, and it will take some time to clear them up.

After Mrs. Lin left, Yuxi asked Xu Wu: "What did Yu Cong fall in love with Mrs. Lin at the beginning?" Mrs. Lin has not experienced any twists and turns in these years except for her son's troubles, so she should be It has been cultivated since childhood.

Xu Wudao: "In Yucheng, it is not easy to marry a daughter-in-law. In addition, the prince is always assassinated, and we who protect the prince are also precarious. Therefore, it is even more difficult to marry a daughter-in-law. And the Lin family was so old at that time. They are doing well, and there are many people who come to say goodbye.” In Yucheng, as long as they are good-looking and not too bad-tempered, they are all sought after by a family with hundreds of girls.

After a pause, Yu Cong said: "The law and order in Yucheng was not very good at that time. There were ruffians and hooligans of all kinds. Lin's went shopping in the street and was molested by ruffians. Yu Cong happened to come forward and teach those people a lesson."

Yu Xi never expected that it was the bond of a hero saving the beauty.

Yu Cong continued: "Father Lin does not agree to this marriage, because he is afraid that Mrs. Lin will become a widow if she marries Yu Cong. It was because the prince transferred Yu Cong to serve in the army, and Yu Cong swore a poisonous oath that Father Lin agreed. married." Of course, the dowry was also given.

At that time, all of them were bachelors, even Yunqing, the boss, didn't have a wife, but Yu Cong married a prostitute, so they couldn't be more envious.

Thinking of this, Yu Cong sighed a little: "At that time, Yu Cong married the Lin family, and we all envied him. But we didn't expect it to be like this... Now think about it, if Yu Cong hadn't married the Lin family back then, it would have been the same. No more trouble."

Yu Xi said: "Back then, how did you think that you would have today?" Now Yu Cong is a general of the third rank, but more than ten years ago, Yu Cong was just a small guard beside Yunqing.

Xu Wu shook his head and said, "I really didn't expect that." At the beginning, they thought that they would be lucky if they could survive and marry a wife and have children.

Yuxi shook her head slightly.

Xu Wu said: "In fact, Lin's temperament is not very good, we all know it. It's just that I didn't expect it to be so bad." After Yu Cong got married, he bought a house and moved out. A group of them went to Yu Cong's house as guests. Although Lin didn't say anything, her face was not good-looking. This happened every time, and they were reluctant to go to Yu Cong's house.

After hearing this, Yu Xi said: "Speaking of which, I admire Yu Cong a little. He can tolerate Lin's personality for more than ten years."

Xu Wu said: "Among our group of people, Yu Cong has the best temper." If it were him, Lin's temperament would have been unbearable for a long time.

Yu Xi sighed and said: "You can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it forever. When Yu Cong comes back with his concubine and concubine, I don't know what will happen." I only hope that Mrs. Lin will not come to her when the time comes.

Xu Wu heard Yu Xi's words and said: "Yu Cong said that when the concubine gives birth to a child, he will send the concubine away and only bring the child back."

Yu Xi chuckled lightly and said, "Only you will believe this." Yu Cong has endured Lin's eccentric temperament for so many years and can't bear children. The concubine was gentle and considerate and gave birth to a child for him, it would be strange if Yu Cong would dismiss him.

Xu Wu wanted to defend Yu Cong, but Yu Xi shook his head and said, "Stop talking, we have to eat." Yu Xi only eats with a few children in the morning and evening, and eats in the front yard at noon. There is a soft couch in the study room, and Yuxi always rests on the soft couch at noon.

Speaking of which, Yu Cong is not a lustful person. No, he rejected the housemaid arranged by Aunt An. Originally he was angry, but seeing Aunt An crying like pear blossoms and rain, his tone relaxed, and he said: "Take care of the pregnancy, don't do anything else." Said it was for the heirs. If he sleeps with the servant girl again, what will the prince and others think? It must be because he is a hungry ghost in color.

Aunt An wiped her tears and said, "My lord, I won't dare to be a concubine in the future." She is pregnant and can't serve Yu Cong now, and seeing that Aunt Huang is about to give birth, she wants to use her personal servant girl to gather around Yu Cong , Don't let Aunt Huang spoil her exclusively. Who knew that it would make Yu Cong so angry.

Yu Cong said: "Go to bed early!" Ever since Aunt An got pregnant, Yu Cong hadn't stayed in her room overnight, so after saying this, he turned around and left.

The second day is the day for the five candidates to compete. Fang Xing said, "Whether the prince is going or not, let me know." Fang Xing is in charge of this matter, but the judges are two of Yunqing's staff and an old man who has attainments in this field.

Yun Qing lowered his head to look at the map, and said: "Mr. Chen and the others are enough for this matter." He is not interested in these matters, and if he is asked to evaluate, he can't make an evaluation.

Fang Xingdao: "My lord, these days you are busy from morning to night every day, and you haven't taken a break. I heard that listening to the piano can make people relax, so you should give yourself half a day off!" He didn't understand either, but he just wanted to Let Yunqing take this to rest and relax.

Yun Qing shook his head and said, "No need." He was very energetic and didn't need to rest. Furthermore, the earlier the matter was dealt with, the earlier he could return to Pickaxe City.

At this time, Si Bonian said outside: "My lord, a letter from General Guan." Now it's the end of August, and in a few more days, it's time to start the war.

Seeing this, Fang Xing immediately withdrew.

In his letter, Guan Tai stated some of his thoughts on the upcoming war and some of the enemy's situation.

Yunqing only takes care of the overall situation, and the generals below have to make their own decisions on how to fight.

At noon, Mr. Chen came over and told Yun Qing the result of the competition: "My lord, Mr. Liu and Mr. Meng are indistinguishable." The Mr. Liu here refers to the eldest daughter of the Liu family. It's a sign of respect.

Two of the four judges chose the eldest daughter of the Liu family, and two chose Mr. Meng. The same number of votes means a tie, so in the end they decided to let Yunqing decide.

Yun Qing asked: "Is there no difference between equals?"

Mr. Chen was still thinking about this meeting: "Mr. Liu is even better when it comes to piano skills. However, Mr. Liu is only outstanding in piano skills, while Mr. Meng is also very knowledgeable in other musical instruments besides being good at playing the piano." After finishing speaking , Mr. Chen said his thoughts again: "My lord, I think that if anyone wants to learn musical instruments, Mr. Meng can also let Mr. Meng teach." If you only teach the second princess, Mr. Liu is enough carry on. However, if the young masters are also taken into consideration, Mr. Meng is more suitable. As for who to choose, the decision is in Yunqing's hands.

Yun Qing thought for a while and said: "Let's choose Mr. Meng!" The reason why he made such a quick decision was because he remembered that Yuxi once said that Brother Xuan wanted to learn the flute, but he couldn't find a Mr. he likes, so this matter is just a matter of time. Let it go. By choosing Mr. Meng, not only can he teach Liu'er, but also Brother Xuan.

When Yu Cong heard that Yun Qing chose Mr. Meng in the end, he said, "My lord, why did you choose Mr. Meng? It's clear that Miss Liu's piano skills are even better."

Yun Qing thought it was quite interesting, and asked, "Better? Can you understand what they are playing?"

Yu Cong shook his head and said, "I don't understand, but Miss Liu's piano sound makes me feel very comfortable. Not only do I feel that way, but Fang Xing also feels the same way."

It was also because he recommended the eldest girl of the Liu family, so today he specially took the time to listen to her. After listening to it, he was relieved that Mr. Liu really played the piano well.
