Chapter 1211 Foreshadowing
?In the evening, Yuxi lay on the bed thinking about things for a long time.
Seeing her not moving for a long time, Yun Qing held her in his arms and asked, "What's the matter? Are you still thinking about Song Mingyue?" Yuxi's biggest weakness is her soft heart. I can't pass this test in my heart.
In fact, Yuxi is only soft-hearted towards a few children, and outsiders may let them go if they don't involve principles. But for Song Mingyue, he wanted her life for everything, and he was not a saint, so how could he soften his heart.
Yuxi said: "I thought that if possible, I would resume contact with Yuchen." The wind beside the pillow was still very strong. If Han Yuchen knew that she didn't hold any grudges about Qihao, he might persuade Yan Wushuang for the sake of his children in the future. In this way, perhaps the plan they want can be realized.
Yun Qing paused, and said: "Then Ah Hao's crimes are not for nothing?" Han Yuchen almost killed Ah Hao back then, and he has always remembered this account.
Yuxi said: "If we don't fight Yan Wushuang, we can save hundreds of thousands of soldiers from dying. On the contrary, if we press too fast, if Yan Wushuang forms an alliance with the Donghu people, the war will continue." She said I really don't like wars, and the treasury will be empty after every war. Moreover, so many people will die. Deplete the national power, and then it will not recover within a few years.
After being silent for a long time, Yun Qing said: "Do according to your ideas!" It was also because Qi Hao also expressed his opinion that his son did not hold grudges after suffering such a great crime, so naturally he could not hold back. This world will belong to Ah Hao in the future. It would be great if the Liaodong matter could be resolved earlier.
On the second day, Yuxi took the list and picked out a few things from it to be handed over to the messenger to take back.
In the evening of this day, Brother Yu said with a smile: "Mother, Second Brother said that he will bring his future Second Sister-in-law back at the end of this month." It has been more than a year since I saw Second Brother.
Yu Xi said with a stern face: "What about the future second sister-in-law, the marriage is not yet settled, this is not allowed to be said." To Gu Chanyan, after reading Brother Rui's description at the beginning, she really thought this girl was pretty good. But at the end of last year, he asked Brother Rui to go back to Beijing for the New Year, and he promised well at first, but later he said that Gu Chanyan was ill and couldn't make it long, so she didn't come back.
But I just found out some time ago that Gu Chanyan was just suffering from the cold by accident, and she would be fine within two days. How can Yuxi be happy if she refuses to come back for the New Year with this reason.
"Huh..." Brother Yu asked: "Mother, didn't you agree to this marriage? Since you have agreed, it's not too much to call her the second sister-in-law." He called Tan Aoshuang his sister-in-law, and Yuxi didn't refute it .
Yuxi said: "After the ceremony between the two families, it won't be too late for you to call me that when the marriage is settled."
Brother Yu thought about the matter between Brother Yu and Zhong Wanting, so he immediately stopped talking. Even if they are engaged, they will destroy the relationship, and the second brother may have an accident with this girl from the Gu family.
Qi Hao asked: "Mother, has Zhong Wanting settled yet?" Before Brother Xuan returns to Beijing, this woman must be married off. Otherwise, who knows what will happen to that silly brother.
Yuxi smiled and said: "Your eldest cousin is a smart person and knows how to do it."
"Mother, how is the third brother now? I haven't received any letter from him in the past two months." He was afraid that Brother Xuan would suffer a disadvantage when he was away.
"Forget it, Ah Xuan and Mr. Pang should have arrived in Sichuan." After finishing speaking, Yuxi smiled and said, "Ah Xuan has grown a lot now. Mr. Pang is ill, and he has also learned to wash and cook. There is not enough money. Know how to make money by copying books."
Brother You stared wide-eyed and said, "Third brother can wash and cook?" The third brother who only knows how to read sage books can do laundry and cook, it's unimaginable!
"I can bargain with others, and I know how to live on a budget." These are all progress. So, it was really right to let Brother Xuan go out this time.
Brother Yu was very skeptical: "Mother, are you talking about the third brother?" He grew up with Brother Xuan, so he still doesn't know his temperament, and he hates these trivial things the most.
Qihao saw it more thoroughly: "Mother, did something happen?"
Yu Xi smiled and said: "When you have no money to eat, naturally you have to plan carefully.
"Brother Xuan was so generous in the past, it was because he didn't have to worry about food or clothing, and he had money in his hand. Now that he's had a stomachache and knows that livelihood is difficult, he naturally has to learn to plan.
"Third Brother must have suffered a lot." After finishing speaking, Brother You looked at Yu Xi and said, "Mother, did you do it on purpose?"
Yu Xi asked without answering: "If you are asked to go out without money, can you survive?"
Brother Yu said: "I'm sure! I have hands and feet, so I can support myself by doing whatever I want." Needless to say, he will be able to do well. It has to be said that Brother Yu is still very confident in himself.
Yuxi smiled and said: "Why can't Ah Xuan do what you can do? Ah Xuan is spoiled by us, so he will die and live for Zhong Wanting. But he wants to start a family and start a family in the future. We can't do it." Get used to him for the rest of your life. If you continue to get used to it, it will only hurt him."
Brother Yu curled his lips: "Anyway, what you say, mother, is justified."
Yun Qing said with a straight face: "Why are you talking to your mother?" He disliked Brother Yu's undisguised appearance the most.
Upon hearing this, Brother Yu immediately lowered his head, looking extremely obedient.
When Qi Hao saw this, he couldn't help but want to laugh. Brother Yu, you are the most obedient.
The next day, Zhong Minxiu received the brocade from Yuxi. Looking at these brocades, Zhong Minxiu smiled wryly: "Go and ask the eldest girl to come over."
As soon as Zhong Wanting entered the room, she saw the jokes placed on the table. These brocades were all red, and all of them were decorated with excellent meanings such as harmony and wishfulness, concentricity, and unicorn giving birth.
Pointing to these brocades, Zhong Minxiu said: "These are just rewarded by the empress." Zhong Wanting is also a smart person, so she should know the hidden meaning of these reward brocades.
Zhong Wanting's face turned pale.
Zhong Minxiu said: "Years ago, I definitely decided on your marriage." During this time, neither Zhong Minxiu nor Zhong Wanting went out. The Zhong family was convicted, and their father and brothers were all dead. If they still dressed up and went out to socialize, what would people think? They would definitely think they were cold-blooded and heartless.
"Auntie, I..." She didn't know what to say, but she was just afraid.
Zhong Minxiu said: "Students, I don't give you consideration. These people are the most ruthless. Even after marrying you, they won't let you help the Zhong family. But most of the soldiers are simple-minded and value love and righteousness. As long as you Marry and win over people, and have a few more children, so you don't have to worry about anything."
Zhong Wanting doesn't want to marry Wu Fu. In her impression, warriors are all vulgar and impolite people.
With a snort, Zhong Minxiu said: "The six sisters in the family, except me and my undecided younger sister, the other four are all from a scholarly family, and two of them have been close friends with us for generations. But the Zhong family If something goes wrong, they will change their faces." The Zhong family committed a serious crime of treason, and it is understandable that the in-laws would stand by and not help each other. After all, they are not as confident as their father-in-law. But they absolutely shouldn't, they shouldn't have abused her sister.
A bad premonition emerged in Zhong Wanting's heart: "What's the matter with Auntie and Aunt Wu?" There are six girls in Zhong Minxiu's generation, and she ranks second.
Zhong Minxiu clasped her hands and said, "Your eldest aunt became a nun, third aunt died of illness, and fourth aunt was divorced. Your fifth aunt was divorced." The fifth sister was destined to be a cousin, and the future mother-in-law was their aunt. As a result, as soon as something happened to the Zhong family, the other party withdrew. It is precisely because of this that she is especially grateful to Qiu Shi and Han Jianming.
Zhong Wanting's eyes turned red immediately: "How could they? How could they be so vicious?"
"I have already asked the Duke of the State to find a candidate for you. When I am selected, I will take you to see him." If Zhong Wanting wants to marry a good family, she can only ask Han Jianming. Because only Han Jianming came forward to make peace, the other party would not care about Zhong Wanting's status as a rebellious minister.
In fact, Han Jianming agreed, not because of Zhong Minxiu, but because of Yuxi's confession. Although she doesn't like Zhong Wanting, she doesn't want to marry too badly. Otherwise, she would have a bad life. Brother Xuan knew that he would never let it go for the rest of his life.
Zhong Wanting didn't dare to raise any further objections.
Zhong Minxiu said: "The maid beside you, Luliu, has been bribed by Mrs. Xiang. You should know what to do, right?" Before Zhong Minxiu gets married, she must settle the matter of Mrs. Xiang. Otherwise, even if Qiu Shi protects her, her life in the Han family will not be easy. It is even more impossible for people who want to help Zhong's family.
"I know." Zhong Minxiu has a solid position in the Duke's Mansion, and when she gets married, she also has a backer.
Zhong Wanting is a smart person, but she has always been favored and praised, and she has a little disdain for Brother Xuan, so her attitude is naturally a bit perfunctory. I regret that I didn't take the medicine, so I can only stop being stupid in the future.
A few days later, Yuchen received Yuxi's reply letter and gift. One of the piano boxes especially caught her attention.
Yan Wushuang said with interest: "Open it and have a look." Han Yuxi's reply was surprising enough, but it was a bit rare for him to even give Yuchen a gift.
Inside the qin box is a Guqin, which is black in color with a hint of green, like green vines entangled on ancient wood.
Yuchen lost his voice and said: "Luqi." After speaking, he squatted down and gently stroked the piano.
When Yan Wushuang saw Yuchen's appearance, he knew that this Qin was very precious: "Where did I hear this name?" He didn't have any knowledge of rhythm, so naturally he didn't know the rarity of this Guqin.
Yuchen explained: "The four famous Qins handed down from generation to generation are the 'Hao Zhong' of the Zhou Dynasty; the 'Zuoliang' of the Spring and Autumn Period; the 'Lvqi' of the Western Han Dynasty; It's time." But he didn't expect to see this guqin in his lifetime.
"Are you sure it's true?" If it's true, then Han Yuxi's behavior is worth pondering.
Yuchen shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. But even if it's a fake, it's extremely precious."
After finishing speaking, Yuchen stood up and said with a look of reluctance: "I'll have someone send it back later."
Yan Wushuang smiled and said, "If you like it, then stay!"
Yuchen was a little hesitant: "Give me such an expensive gift, there must be a purpose." Just like when Yuxi was a child to please her aunt, she also hoped to be protected by her aunt. To please her is also to hope to gain her favor, and then seek benefits.
Yan Wushuang hummed and said: "Nothing to show courteousness is either adultery or robbery. She knew about you harming Yun Qihao back then, and now you have sent such a valuable thing, it's not a small intention."
"Then this thing can't be accepted."
Yan Wushuang smiled and said, "If you like it, accept it. If she dares to give it away, there is nothing you can't accept. As for what she wants to do, she will know in due course."
Yuchen hesitated and nodded, "Okay." He really likes this piano.
"Open the box and have a look." In addition to this piano, what other valuable things were given.
As a result, Yan Wushuang was a little disappointed. Except for a piece of Yunjin which is more valuable, the others are some local products of the capital.
Yan Wushuang looked at the bright red brocade and said, "Save this brocade for Ah Bao, let's make it into a wedding dress in the future!" It would take a lot of effort for them to get such a pure brocade.
Yuchen refused: "I don't want it anymore." She was worried about the mystery of the material. If something goes wrong with Ah Bao's clothes, he will be too late to regret.
"You think too much, Han Yuxi's situation is not so small." This is not a housewife, and she is playing house fighting.
Even with Yan Wushuang's words, Yuchen was still worried.
Yan Wushuang went back to the imperial study and called Meng Nian: "What happened in the capital recently?"
Meng Nian shook his head: "No." Speaking of it, it is also about luck with Han Yuxi, and the weather has been smooth in the past few years.
"What do you think Han Yuxi is planning for giving such an expensive gift to the imperial concubine?" He thought for a long time, but he couldn't figure out why.
Meng Nian said: "Could it be that Han Yuxi has ulterior motives and wants to instigate against the imperial concubine?" If so, then Han Yuxi is too whimsical.
"Han Yuxi won't be that stupid." Han Yuchen gave birth to him two children, and it is impossible to betray him for the sake of the children. Furthermore, it happened that Yun Qihao had smallpox.
"The minister can't think of why."
Yan Wushuang smiled: "Few people can see through what Han Yuxi did." If they can't see through, they simply don't think about it. It's useless to think about things without thinking.
It was also Yan Wushuang who felt that he and Yunqing and his wife were in an endless relationship, so he never thought that Yunqing and Yuxi would want him to bow their heads and become ministers. If you know, you will definitely laugh three times.
"Is there still no news from Donghu?" The Donghu people also have their intelligence personnel.
Yan Wushuang said before that he was going to Tongcheng, but it snowed heavily in the new city and the road was blocked. Therefore, the plan to go to Tongcheng was put on hold for the time being.
Meng Nian looked solemn and said, "There is no news for now." No news is not a good thing. This means that either something major happened that caused the tension to make him afraid to spread the news, or it was exposed.
Yan Wushuang said: "I don't worry about anything else, but I'm afraid that this time it will be the King of Donghu who will lead the army himself."
"Probably not." If King Donghu leads his own army to conquer, then Tongcheng will be in danger. Even if they keep it, they will pay a huge price. At that time, when Yunqing took advantage of the situation and entered, Liaodong might not be able to keep it.
"You have to prepare for the worst." He can live to this day because he has prepared for the worst every time he encounters something. In this way, even in a desperate situation, you can find a ray of life.
