Chapter 75: Monster (5)
Han Jianming has been busy with outside affairs these days and has not paid attention to the inner courtyard. Hearing that the little book boy said that Yu Xi had fallen asleep, he asked casually: "What are Miss Si doing these days?"
When you are a little book boy, you have to see all directions and hear all directions. In this way, when the son asks, he won't be unable to answer anything. The little book boy said: "Miss Si fainted today. The doctor came to see her and said that Miss Si was too tired and fainted because of exhaustion. The doctor told Miss Si to take a good rest."
Before Han Jianming opened his mouth, Mr. Zhao, his staff member, asked very strangely: "Overworked? Why is Fourth Miss overworked?"
The little book boy said: "I heard that she was too fascinated by reading and fainted. The doctor came over and said, Miss Si is overworked and needs a good rest."
Han Jianming roughly knew why Yuxi was overworked. He probably knew that Lord Heshou wanted to kill her and was looking for a solution. Reading a book was just an excuse: "Go down!"
Mr. Zhao looked at Han Jianming's appearance and asked, "My lord, did the fourth girl really faint from reading?" Mr. Zhao was recruited by Han Jianming some time ago. It's too familiar, but he feels that Shizi seems to be very special to the fourth girl.
Han Jianming shook his head and said, "I'll find out if I ask her to come over tomorrow." He doesn't have the mental strength and time to guess such trivial matters, so he just asks. However, I hope that girl Yuxi will not let herself down.
Mr. Zhao smiled and did not continue this topic.
That night, Han Jianming discussed matters with Mr. Zhao until midnight. He didn't go back to the backyard either, and stayed directly in the study.
In the early morning, the sky is just white, and the trees are still condensed with dew. Everything is pure and refreshing, like a light ink painting, which is filled with the fragrance of good-smelling green grass.
Yuxi pushed open the door, walked into the yard, took a deep breath and started her morning exercises. I have been reading Wu Qinxi for the past two days and have not insisted on it. As a result, when I play now, my whole body is sore.
Half an hour passed before Yuxi stopped, panting, took the towel handed over by Zisu, wiped the sweat off her face, and said, "I still have to persevere in the future." After a few days of interruption, I will practice again today. Everywhere is sore.
Zisu took the wet towel and said, "The girl used to tell us that we can't do things with the net for three days and fishing for two days. Now I don't set an example."
Yuxi said with a smile: "There is a reason for this incident, and it won't happen next time." This incident is special, and it is impossible for such incidents to happen again in the future.
After the morning exercise, Yuxi saw that the weather was fine and the air was fresh, so she simply took the medical book and memorized it in the yard.
Zisu shook her head helplessly, and stopped persuading her, but went to the kitchen.
After eating breakfast, Zisu told Yuxi about the little bookboy's visit last night: "The elder son said, wait for the girl to finish her breakfast and go to his study. I see, the elder son must be looking for a girl for something." gone."
Yuxi also wanted to find Han Jianming, so she went there immediately when she got the news.
Han Jianming looked at Yuxi with a ruddy complexion and a good spirit, she didn't look like she was overworked: "I heard that you fainted while reading? What book are you reading? Are you so obsessed?"
Yuxi was speechless: "Who is talking nonsense, I just fell asleep after being too tired from reading, how could I faint from reading?"
Han Jianming became interested and asked, "What book are you reading so obsessed with? It made you faint? Don't tell me it's a medical book?"
Yuxi rolled her eyes and said, "I just won't tell you."
Han Jianming looked at this child, and smiled on his face: "If you don't say it, you don't say it. But why did you tell your second brother last night that I have found the mastermind?"
Yuxi tilted her head,
Asked with a look of surprise: "Is what I said wrong? Didn't the elder brother find the mastermind behind the scenes?"
Han Jianming didn't like Yu Xi's tricks, and asked, "You know that's not what I meant? Tell me, why did you do this?"
Looking at the serious Han Jianming, Yuxi also put away the smile on her face, and said, "I remember that the elder brother once said that he would revitalize the Duke's Mansion together with the second elder brother. But look at the second elder brother's current state. Are you up to the task?"
Han Jianming knew that Yuxi would not say those things to Han Jianye for no reason: "If you have something to say, just say it, you don't need to beat around the bush and waste time in front of me."
Yuxi complained in her heart that you have wasted a lot of time: "Second brother has been studying with Master Yang on the mountain these years. He has learned martial arts, but he has also cultivated a simple and straightforward character. Second brother is a person who wants to go to official career. There will definitely be intrigues in the official career. Big brother, second brother's personality will be a fatal flaw."
Han Jianye crossed his hands behind his back and asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"
Yuxi shook her head and said: "Brother, you protect the second brother too well. He doesn't know the current situation of the Duke's Mansion and the dangers outside. If the eldest brother is really good for the second brother, you should tell him. Not only In this way, you have to let the second brother know how hard you have worked to revitalize the family business, and you may even feel powerless. Only in this way can the second brother truly mature and work with you to revitalize the family business." Yuxi said these words are also her own Personal experience. In her previous life, she didn't know the harsh environment she was in, she only knew how to feel sorry for herself, and ended up in such an unbearable end. Yuxi felt that only by letting the second elder brother know how bad the environment in the Duke's Mansion is, he would take his responsibility.
Hearing this, Han Jianming was very emotional. Every time he talked with Yuxi, he would regret why Yuxi was not a man, but a daughter: "I also realize the problem you mentioned, but the food needs to be eaten one bite at a time. You have to take it step by step. Pull the seedlings to encourage them to grow, and the seedlings will die."
Yuxi nodded and said, "I see." In fact, Han Jianye has become much more mature than before in a few months, but as Han Jianming said, it is impossible to change a person's temper in an instant. What happened this time made her lose her composure and became a little anxious
Han Jianming stopped talking about Han Jianye, and asked, "What do you think about the matter with Shou County Lord?" Yuxi also seemed to have something to say.
Yuxi nodded and said: "I have some ideas. But before that, I want to know what is the big brother's plan? Is it a long-term plan like my grandmother and my father, or do I have other plans?"
Han Jianming didn't answer Yu Xi's words, but asked, "Tell me what you think?"
Yu Xi looked at Han Jianming with a depressed expression on his face. Big Brother is only seven years older than her, why does she always have a feeling of facing an old fox when facing Big Brother: "Third Sister said that He Shou may have the ability to predict, knowing that Third Sister and I will pose a fatal threat to her. Poisonous hands..." At this point, Yuxi deliberately paused to look at Han Jianming's face.
Han Jianming said, "Keep talking, I'll listen." Han Jianming felt that this reason was a bit of a nonsense, what does it mean that Heshou can predict the future. The one who can predict the future is a fairy, how could it be a vicious woman like He Shou.
Yuxi said cautiously: "I just listened to what the third sister said, and thought of a way to draw salary from the bottom of the pot." Publicize the killing and looting, and then tell the reason why Lord Heshou County did it.
Han Jianming doesn't think Yuxi's strategy is useful: "I don't see any use other than making people feel that the Duke's Mansion is incompetent?" .
Yu felt that Han Jianming's thinking was too one-sided: "Didn't Lord Heshou ask Monk Tong to prove that she has opened eyes? We helped her to confirm this matter, and let the world know what Lord Heshou did with her eyes. thing?"
Han Jianming glanced at Yuxi, this method is indeed a drastic move, but it is a fatal blow to Heshou: "You mean to let the world know that Heshouhou uses his predictive ability to harm others, so people will be on guard?" Not only will you be on guard, but you will even want to get rid of it quickly.
Yuxi nodded and said, "Yes."
Han Jianye calculated the feasibility of this matter in his heart.
Seeing this, Yuxi said again: "Brother, Lord Heshou is not only hostile to me and Third Sister, but also very hostile to Xiyu. I believe Yu Xiyu can definitely feel it. I don't believe Yu Xiyu when the news spreads. Xi Yu will be indifferent." After a pause, Yuxi continued: "It doesn't matter even if Yu Xiyu is indifferent. I believe that with these rumors, Princess Heshou will definitely not be the Ninth Prince Concubine."
Han Jianming's head was full of black lines when he heard this, and asked: "Who told you that Heshouhui is the Ninth Prince's concubine? Yuchen said it again?"
Yuxi became dumb, and asked in a low voice after a while: "Isn't it?"
Han Jianming shook his head. The knowledge of the women in the inner courtyard is limited: "Of course not. Even if the Qiao family's family status is established, even if the monk said that she has opened eyes, she is not qualified to be a prince concubine. At most, she is only a side concubine." See Yu Xi stared at her with wide eyes, and Han Jianming explained: "The Qiao family has gone downhill since the death of Mrs. Qiao. There is no one in the entire Qiao family who can afford it, and with the dude Qiao Mang, the emperor is impossible." Let He Shou be the right concubine."
Yuxi let out a cry, she was struggling for a long time. Cough, it's because she trusts Yuchen too much, thinking that her news will not be wrong: "It's because I am too self-righteous."
The corners of Han Jianming's mouth rose, but his attitude of admitting his mistake was very correct: "Your idea is very good. If you really use this strategy, Heshou will never even think about having a prince and side concubine." In fact, as long as this is confirmed, the emperor will definitely not point out this femme fatale woman to the Ninth Prince. However, Han Jianming has his own concerns. If this matter gets out, it will have a great impact on the reputation of the Duke's Mansion.
Yuxi looked at Han Jianming's appearance, and roughly guessed his thoughts: "Brother, there is no reason to guard against thieves only if you are a thief for thousands of days. He Shou deliberately planned to kill us, and he knew about the palace change in advance. We were beaten There's no shame in being caught off guard. At least, there weren't any casualties in our house."
Han Jianming said: "Have you ever thought that if this matter gets out, your boudoir reputation will be damaged and marriage will become difficult."
Yu Xi's attitude was very clear, and she said: "Brother, have you ever thought that if He Shou becomes the Ninth Prince's side concubine, she will be the Ninth Prince's purse. If we deal with her then, it will be tantamount to fighting with the Ninth Prince." The prince is against you." The Ninth Prince had always been the emperor's second child's heart before he died, and it would definitely not end well if he went against the Ninth Prince.
Seeing Han Jianming's silence, Yuxi knew that her words had an effect, and said: "On the night of the palace change, many families were attacked by bandits. The law does not blame the public, and no one will deliberately target our sisters."
Han Jianming suddenly changed the subject and asked, "What kind of book are you reading these days? What kind of book has the words "Draw the bottom out of the pot?" You don't need to think about it, it must be the book of war.
It's all been discovered by others, and it's useless to hide and pinch. Yuxi honestly admitted: "I'm watching "Sun Tzu's Art of War and Thirty-Six Strategies". It's one of the thirty-six strategies."
Han Jianming's expression was very gloomy. His book was for Han Jianye, but Yu Xi became obsessed with it unexpectedly: "I didn't expect that you have studied military books?"
Yu Xi immediately said: "My books were all burned, and I had nothing to read, so I borrowed books from my second brother. Not only did I borrow "Sun Tzu's Art of War and Thirty-Six Strategies", but also "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", "Left Turn", "Mandarin".
These books were picked out by Han Jianming for Han Jianye to read, and Han Jianming said: "You have moved all your second brother's books there."
Yuxi said very bachelorly: "Anyway, the second brother doesn't read it, so why not pass the time for me. But speaking of it, that book "Sun Tzu's Art of War and Thirty-Six Strategies" is really interesting and useful."
When Han Jianming heard Yuxi say to pass the time by reading military books, he regretted again: "It's a pity that you are not a man, and it is useless to learn this." Don't learn what you should learn, but study what you don't need to learn very seriously.
Yuxi slandered in her heart, who said that I learned it was useless, but it was obviously useful. It's just that I dare not say this: "Idle is idle, and reading a book can pass the time."
A smile flashed in Han Jianming's eyes: "You are very special. Girls spend their time admiring flowers and birds, but you spend time reading medical books, history books, and military books. Your hobby is really special. By the way, are you When did you start reading history books?" Han Jianming now knows why Yuxi sees things so thoroughly.
Cough, Han Jianming couldn't help but sighed in his heart. If Han Jianye was as transparent as Yuxi, he wouldn't hide it.
Only a fool will answer this question. Obviously, Yuxi is not a fool: "It's not that I don't know, my medical books have not been read until now, so I don't have time to read history books. This time, there are really no books to read. That’s why I brought all the books from the second brother’s place.”
Han Jianming didn't force Yuxi to answer, anyway, he knew everything he should know, and he would always know what he didn't know. Immediately said: "This is none of your business, you go back!"
