Chapter 174 Hidden Danger

It took a long time for Yuxi to regain her composure: "Didn't someone rescue Xin Rong? Why did she appear in the brothel?" This made Yuxi unable to understand.

Han Jianming shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. But the one who rescued Duan Xinrong was a very large force, but the people behind the scenes were too well hidden, so I couldn't find out."

Yu Xi frowned and said: "Looking at this person's behavior, he should have a sworn feud with the Song family and the Ninth Prince. Moreover, he has established such a large force, so he is definitely not an ordinary person." Thinking of this, A flash in Yuxi's mind: "Brother, do you think it is from the Yan family?" Yuxi would think of the Yan family because it was strange that the Yan family ruined the family so easily. You must know that the Yan family is also a century-old family. Although most of the younger generations are not very up-to-date, they are not without outstanding abilities. For example, Yan Wushuang has outstanding aptitude.

Han Jianming was silent for a while and said: "What you said is also impossible. It's just that there is no evidence for this matter, and it is impossible to conclude that it is a member of the Yan family."

Yuxi didn't dwell on it for too long, but she talked to Han Jianming about what Aunt Quan had told her before: "Brother, the aunty said that the drought in Shaanxi is particularly severe, why is there no news at all in the capital?" Has the situation improved over there?" If the imperial court provides disaster relief, it is impossible for her not to know about such a big event. The only possibility is that there is no drought at all in Shaanxi.

Han Jianming said: "Shaanxi is indeed in drought, and the situation is quite serious."

Yuxi found it incredible: "Why is there no news about such a big matter? Also, why didn't you provide disaster relief?" Yuxi didn't come to ask for the first time that day, and it was also because this matter had no direct relationship with her. Coupled with the calm outside, she also felt that the situation should have improved. But now after hearing Han Jianming's words, she was a little startled.

Han Jianming said: "The news in the capital has been suppressed, so the bad news outside has not spread. As for the disaster relief you mentioned, the treasury has no money, so how can you provide disaster relief?"

Yuxi felt that she had heard a very funny news: "A few days ago, I heard that the Ministry of Industry was planning to overhaul the emperor's other courtyard in Xishan, and repairing Beiyuan would cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver! Also, the noble concubine The empress's birthday banquet is coming soon. I heard that the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs have already started to prepare and bought a lot of things. How can I have money to hold a birthday party in another courtyard, but no money to provide disaster relief?"

A sneer appeared on Han Jianming's face: "The emperor built another courtyard, and the imperial concubine's birthday banquet. If there is no money, the household department has to make money." As for the victims in Shaanxi and Gansu, who cares!

At this moment, Yuxi didn't know what to say.

Han Jianming still felt that the news was not exciting enough, so he dropped another bomb and said, "Not only is there no money for disaster relief, but there is not enough military pay and food for the soldiers. The soldiers in Liaodong and Northwest have not received military pay for three months."

"Uh..." If you have money to spend time and drink, you can enjoy yourself comfortably, but you don't have money to provide disaster relief and military pay. Well, Yuxi really knelt down to the emperor and the court officials at this time.

Han Jianming looked at Yu Xi not nervous, and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"

Yuxi was not afraid, and said: "What's the use of being afraid? Besides, even if the world is really big, the capital will be the last place to be affected. Besides, there are elder brothers and second elder brothers, so I don't worry."

Han Jianming smiled: "Don't worry, although the outside world is not very peaceful, the court can still control the situation for the time being." In the world of chaos, there are dangers and opportunities.

Yu Xi frowned: "The Chen family is the emperor's confidant. If the world is in trouble, will the Chen family have to be involved in the whirlpool?" This is not what she likes to see.

Seeing that Yuxi was finally worried, Han Jianming smiled and said, "Don't worry. The Chen family has a deep heritage, even if the world is under pressure, they still have the means to protect themselves.

"The Chen family has been in existence for more than two hundred years and has been prosperous for a long time. It is because of its unique way of living.

Yuxi smiled wryly and said: "I have nothing to worry about. It's just that the world is in trouble, and it's the common people who suffer."

Han Jianming lowered his voice and said, "This is just the worst situation. The Ninth Prince has good abilities, and he may be able to turn things around!" As long as the successor is a Mingjun, the world may not necessarily be a big mess.

Yuxi recalled what happened in her previous life. After the tenth prince came to power, she began to reduce the taxes of the common people. Although she didn't know the specific effect, it at least proved that the tenth prince wanted to govern the country well: "How could the nine princes do the next thing? Mingjun. Also, how could that dark force bring him to power?" Even though the Ninth Prince was still young at the time, a twelve-year-old child has already reached the age of discerning right from wrong. Selling the country for his own benefit is enough to see that this is a person who has no principles and bottom line. Such a person counts on her to become a Mingjun, and the hope is slim.

Han Jianming didn't say anything else, that is, if the Ninth Prince fails, the Tenth Prince can take over. If the Tenth Prince takes over, the Han family will benefit the most. It's just that Han Jianming couldn't say these words to Yuxi: "I heard that you haven't read medical books recently?"

Yuxi said helplessly: "There is not enough time. The daily schedule is so tight that there is no time to read medical books." Not having time is just an excuse, the main thing is that her marriage is settled. In the future, even if she marries into the Chen family, she won't need medical skills. Yuxi is a pragmatist. I don't want to spend time on things that I can't use after I learn them. As for the history books, she finds them very interesting, and there are only advantages and no disadvantages if you read too many of them, so she still insists on reading them.

Han Jianming smiled and said, "I don't have time to read, but I have time to do embroidery? When will I give my elder brother a fan?" Han Jianming's words were teasing Yuxi.

Yuxi was a little ashamed, she always felt that doing needlework was time-consuming, so she did very little. For so many years, Han Jianming has not been given a decent gift: "What do you like, brother? I will embroider it when I go back."

Han Jianming was just joking, he didn't really want Yuxi's embroidery: "I don't need it. But you will get married in two years. You should start preparing for your dowry." Most people have heard of it. So she had to embroider her wedding dress and hijab herself, and she couldn't do it with someone else's hands. Otherwise, it would be slapping her face naked.

Yu Xi thought all the way back to Tao Ranju. Back in the yard, he didn't see Zisu, so he asked, "Where is Zisu?"

During the period of searching for peaches, he said Ai Ai, "Sister Zisu is in the room."

Yu Xi didn't think too much about it, but just said: "Is it tired and resting in the room, or is it not feeling well?" Zi Su is usually very diligent, even if she has nothing to do, she will not stay in the room.

Xun Tao didn't know what to say.

Yuxi looked wrong: "What's going on? Could it be that someone bullied Zisu?" Yuxi's status is rising steadily, and the maids around her are naturally rising. Of the people in the mansion, Yuxi really couldn't think of anyone who would bully Zisu.

Xun Tao lowered her head and said: "Girl, I don't know the details, Cai Die should know about this." Xun Tao is not evading, but she really doesn't know what's going on. All I know is that Caidie came back from the outside and said a few words to Zisu, and Zisu entered the room with an ugly face.

Yu Xi's face was not very good-looking, and she said: "Ask Caidie to come to the study." Yu Xi likes to talk about things in the study.

Not long after, the butterfly came over. Seeing Yuxi's questioning, she didn't hide it, and said: "Girl, my mother told me that Wan Jia Dalang is somewhat entangled with his aunt's cousin." Cai Die Niang is also an old man in the mansion, and she is very popular , the news is relatively well-informed. She heard that Wan Jiahua and her cousin were torn apart, fearing that Zisu would suffer, so she quickly called Caidie to tell her the news.

Yuxi knew that Cai Die Niang was a proper person, and if she was not very sure, she would not let Cai Die tell her about it: "Did you tell Zi Su about this?"

Cai Die nodded and said: "Say it."

Yuxi didn't feel deeply about this matter, and she didn't think much of Wan Jiahua at first. Besides, there is no engagement, and the other party is entangled with other women, so just delete it from the list: "Mother Fang wants to hire you as her eldest son, do you know about this?" When she replied, it was obvious that Cai Die Niang didn't agree.

Cai Die blushed, lowered her head and muttered: "My mother told me two days ago." marriage. These days, she has been asking people to inquire about the Lian family. After understanding it clearly, I felt that all aspects of Lianjia's conditions were good, so I asked Cai Die what she meant.

Yuxi said: "What's your idea?"

Cai Die was so ashamed that she lowered her head and said, "Slaves and maidservants listen to girls." She also met Da Lang a few times, and he was a good-natured Zhou Zheng. It's better to marry someone who knows everything than to marry someone who doesn't know her.

Yuxi smiled: "This is a lifelong event, and you still have to be satisfied. If you agree, I will tell you. If you don't agree, just refuse it."

Caidie responded softly.

Yuxi waved her hand and said, "Go and ask Zisu to come over."

Seeing Zisu's red eye circles, Yu Xi laughed and said, "It's just that we met twice, and we're not engaged, why are you sad?" It's normal to feel uncomfortable, but it's unnecessary to cry when you're sad.

Zisu called out very aggrieved: "Girl..." Zisu thought that Yuxi would comfort her, but she didn't expect to bury her as soon as she came up, it was so sad.

Yuxi smiled and said: "Zisu, being honest doesn't necessarily mean you're honest and responsible. In this world, there are many wolves in sheep's clothing. It would be better if you knew his true face earlier. Anyway, I'm not engaged, so it's up to you His reputation is fine." Yuxi didn't think much of Wan Jiahua at first, thinking that this person was not worthy of Zisu. It's just that Zisu's heart is determined, and she feels that Wan Jiahua is honest and responsible.

Zisu said: "Girl, I don't want to marry anymore. In this life, I will guard the girl. I will be quiet and quiet for the rest of my life."

Yuxi knew that she couldn't force Zisu to fight at this time, and said, "Let's put this matter aside for now!" It won't be too late to make a decision after finding a suitable candidate. (to be continued)
