Chapter 704: Han Jianming Returns

It was a cool morning in June. Yuxi didn't break much sweat after finishing a set of punches. The sun shines through the jujube trees and falls gently and leisurely on the courtyard.

Yuxi wiped her sweat and said: "It's getting hotter and hotter today, let people clean up the Xuanzhu Garden, and let Zaozao move there in a few days." Of the six children, Zaozao is the most afraid of heat, In summer, it is like a small stove.

Mei Lan nodded and said, "I will tell Mother Qu."

The triplets just came in from the outside, just in time to hear Yuxi's words. Brother Rui hurriedly said: "Mother, we also want to live in Xuanzhuyuan." Xuanzhuyuan is very cool in summer, and we can sleep at night without putting ice cubes.

Yuxi smiled and said: "Discuss this matter with your elder sister. If she agrees, I have no objection."

Brother Yu said: "Mother, are you going to live in Xuanzhu Garden?" Seeing Yuxi shaking his head, Brother You said: "Then I won't ask Eldest Sister anymore, I will live wherever Mother lives."

Yuxi smiled and said: "That's not okay, you will be seven years old after the new year. Seven years old is a little man, and you will all have to move to the front yard by then."

Brother You stepped forward and hugged Yuxi's waist and said, "Mother, I don't want to stay in the front yard, I want to live with you."

Yu Xi touched Brother You's head, and said softly: "Your elder brother moved to the front yard when he was four years old, and you will live with your mother next year when you are seven years old. What does it look like? Outsiders know it and will laugh at it.”

Brother Yu shook his head and said: "I don't care, let them laugh if they want to." Brother Yu has a bad temper, but he is very attached to his parents.

Yuxi said: "Your father asked you to move out last year, or I said to wait until you are seven years old before moving out." The meaning of this is very clear, Brother Yu will not be able to move out next year even if he doesn't want to, because this is Yunqing the meaning of.

Brother Rui came over and pulled Brother You and said, "It's all at home, it's different where you live?" After saying this, Brother Rui looked up at Yuxi and said, "Mother, can we move out tomorrow?" Will it be one person, one yard?"

Yuxi smiled and said: "It depends on your own ideas. If you want three people to one yard, then mother will clean up a big yard for you. If there is one person, there are quite a lot of yards in the mansion, which is enough for you to choose." .”

Brother Rui said without even thinking about it: "Of course the three of us live together." Brother Rui didn't feel anything about being separated from Yuxi. After all, they spend very little time with Yuxi now. But he and Brother Xuan have lived and slept together since they were young, and they are inseparable. If they have to be separated, he can't bear it.

Brother Xuan hurriedly said that the three brothers would also live together.

Yu Xi patted Brother You on the back, and said, "You're the only one left? What do you mean? Do you want the three of you to live together or separately?"

Brother Yu said sullenly: "Live together." He doesn't want to live alone! alone.

After breakfast, Yuxi went to the front yard. There are a lot of things going on recently, but Yu Xi has slowed down the pace. Because the time is allocated properly, it is not perfect.

When Xu Wu saw Yu Xi, he said: "Princess, I just got the news from the capital that Yan Wushuang sent people to dig up the Korean government." As for what to dig, the intelligence personnel didn't find out.

Yuxi's complexion changed slightly, and she snorted coldly: "He really doesn't let anything go." It seems that those things that the elder brother hid cannot be kept.

Xu Wu hurriedly asked: "Princess, if something is very precious, let's send someone to take it out!"

Yuxi shook her head and said: "We send people to fetch things, which is tantamount to letting them die. Those things are valuable, but we can't let our people die in vain."

Xu Wu weighed it up, and asked again: "Princess, what valuables are hidden in the Duke's mansion? It's worth Yan Wushuang's trouble.

"Xu Wenyuan also had this concern, so he said this.

Yuxi's expression was a little cold: "The value of the collections in the Duke's Mansion over the years is no less than one million. And there are many things in it, which cannot be bought with money." Especially those books, among which there are many orphans. If these things are lost or destroyed, they will never be found again.

After hearing this, Xu Wu couldn't help but said: "Princess, if there is an exit where the things are hidden, you can send someone to transport them out."

Yu Xi glanced at Xu Wu, and said: "The secret way of the Duke's Mansion is a family secret, and only my eldest brother knows it." Except for the head of the family, only the heir knows. She knew that the things were hidden in the secret passage by Han Jianming at the beginning, but she never asked Han Jianming where the secret passage was.

Xu Wudao: "Then ask Mr. Han."

Yuxi thought for a while and said: "According to the daily schedule, the eldest brother should arrive in these two days. When he comes back, I will ask him what he means." The handover work was very cumbersome, and Han Jianming stayed in Shanxi for six more days.

Xu Wu didn't want these treasures to fall into Yan Wu's hands, and believed that Han Jianming thought the same as him. Xu Wu said one thing to Yuxi: "Princess, you asked me to pay attention to the matter of generals taking concubines before, and somehow the prince found out about it."

Yu Xi took a deep look at Xu Wu, and then asked, "Who told the lord?" The speed of this ear report is quite fast.

Xu Wu shook his head and said, "I don't know yet. But the prince wrote to me saying that this is the general's personal affairs, and it's not appropriate to meddle in it." Although Yun Qing was also worried that the general would indulge in gentleness, he felt that if the general was too lenient, the general would feel guilty. uncomfortable. Putting myself in the shoes of myself, if it were me, I would be upset if I were to take care of a concubine!

Yu Xi smiled, and asked Xu Wu: "Do you think we should take care of this?"

Xu Wu hesitated for a while and said: "My lord, my lord is right. Taking concubines is a private matter after all. If we manage it, it will definitely make them rebellious." After a pause, Xu Wu said: "My lord, actually men accept Concubines are not as serious as you think." Except for a few, most of the top generals have taken concubines.

Yu Xi smiled and shook her head: "Since you don't think it's a hindrance, why would I bother to be that villain." Yu Xi didn't want to take care of these generals taking concubines in the past. The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by ant nests, she was just worried that these people would be corrupted by beauty and money, and thus degenerate. So she felt that everyone should be reminded in advance, so that such things can be avoided. But since Yunqing didn't support it, she didn't intervene either. If there are corrupt generals, they will be dealt with at that time, and I believe Yun Qing will not have the position to stop them at that time.

At noon the next day, Han Jianming returned to Pickaxe City. I haven't seen him for a few years, and Han Jianming is more majestic than when he left the city. Seeing Yuxi, Han Jianming immediately made a big gift.

Yuxi hurriedly stepped forward to help him up personally, and said angrily, "What's the big brother doing? You're a family, and you're so polite." Men and women can't kiss each other, and other people give a big gift. Yuxi can say at most that she will never go front support.

Han Jianming said: "Rites cannot be discarded."

Yuxi didn't want to waste time on these branches and leaves, and said: "Brother, you have worked hard these few years." The general direction Yuxi controls, and the specific things still need to be done by the people below. Han Jianming has managed Shanxi well in recent years. Today's Shanxi, Henan and other places have recovered after several years of recuperation.

Han Jianming shook his head and said, "This is my duty. How can I say it's hard work. It's you who have been troubled in the past few years."

Yuxi talked with Han Jianming about going to Shanxi, but Yuxi generally knew the local situation, and this time Han Jianming explained in more detail.

After talking about this matter, Yuxi brought up the matter of Han Jianming and Liu Yongnan's military deployment: "The lord said that there are special measures in special circumstances, but after all, he violated the military order, so the merits and demerits are equal, and there is no reward or punishment." Yuxi thought later I also think that it is not appropriate to make up the transfer order, and the impact is not good. Although Han Jianming and Liu Yongnan dispatched troops without order, the situation was urgent and everyone knew it and could understand it. But if the transfer order is made up, then she is covering up Han Jianming. Not only is it bad for her own reputation, but it will also leave a great hidden danger for Han Jianming.

Han Jianming nodded and said, "General Liu has already told me about this matter, and it is very appropriate for the prince to deal with it like this." Liu Yongnan was actually ready to be dealt with, and he was very happy when he heard Yun Qing say that his merits and demerits were equal. dissatisfied.

Yuxi hummed, and told Han Jianming about Yan Wushuang's sending people to dig up the Duke's mansion: "Brother, besides the treasures collected by the ancestors, are there any other important things?" Yan Wushuang was tempted by this thing . Otherwise, Yuxi couldn't figure out why Yan Wushuang would dig up the Duke's mansion if he was so good.

Han Jianming shook his head and said, "No. You've seen most of these things, and there's nothing special about them." Yuxi has seen both antique calligraphy and paintings and decorations. As for the books, Yuxi has read more than half of them, let alone.

Yu Xi couldn't figure it out: "Since there is nothing special, why is Yan Wushuang so dignified to dig the Duke's Mansion?"

Han Jianming has been in charge of the family for more than ten years, and no one knows the secrets of the family better than him. Han Jianming said: "Perhaps Yan Wushuang didn't know who heard that the Duke's Mansion bought treasures, so he sent people to dig the Duke's Mansion."

Yuxi shook her head and said: "You have been away from the capital for almost ten years. If you want to dig, you have done it in the past year. Why wait until now?" It doesn't make sense in theory!

Han Jianming felt that there was nothing unreasonable about this matter: "You forgot, Yuchen is now Yan Wushuang's woman." The meaning of Han Jianming's words could not be more clear, Yuchen must have brought up this matter.

But Yuxi disagreed with this: "No matter what, the South Korean government is where she grew up. How could she let Yan Wushuang destroy the country's government."

Han Jianming felt that it was meaningless to discuss this issue: "Dig it and dig it! It is a waste of the efforts of the ancestors of the Han family." When things are gone, they are gone. As long as people are there, things are worth buying. If there are no people, there is no point in having more things.

Yuxi nodded and said: "I originally thought that if there are important things to send someone to fetch, since there are no, then forget it." If it is just some valuable things, then there is no need to send someone to take risks.

After a pause, Yuxi couldn't help but sighed, "It's a pity for those books." The Duke's Mansion still has a rich collection of books, and it's distressing to see them all destroyed.

When Han Jianming heard this, he didn't hide it from Yuxi, and said, "Jewelry is not kept in the same place as antiques and books. Jewelry and antiques may not be kept, and they can't find books." As for where the books are hidden, that's a matter for Han Jianming. Jianming didn't say anything.

Yuxi smiled and said: "It seems that books are more important than jewelry and antiques in my brother's heart." The place where the books are stored can't be found, which shows that the place is very secret.

Han Jianming nodded and said, "It's natural." After so many things, I understood a truth, that is, the inheritance of the family depends on talents, not dead things such as ancient objects. As long as future generations are useful, there will be gold, silver and treasures. On the contrary, the future generations are useless, and all gold and silver will be lost.

Seeing this, Yuxi stopped talking about this matter: "Brother, last time you wrote back that you wrote to Qiu Ye. Did Qiu Ye reply to you?" Asking Han Jianming to go to Fujian as a lobbyist, this matter Yuxi had already told him.

Han Jianming took out a letter from his sleeve and said, "This is Qiu Ye's reply to me, please read it, Princess."

Yuxi couldn't help but smile: "Brother, what do you want to be called Wangfei, just call me Yuxi." Calling Wangfei seems so unfamiliar.

Han Jianming still said that etiquette cannot be discarded.

After being separated for a few years, Yuxi feels that Han Jianming has changed a lot, but this is not the time to talk about these things. After reading the letter, Yuxi smiled and said, "Cousin Qiu Ye is still very enthusiastic about the big cousin." In the letter, Qiu Ye invited Han Jianming to Fujian as a guest. As for whether it is a polite remark or has a deep meaning, it is not known.

Han Jianming said: "My eldest cousin and I grew up together, and we didn't separate until he went to Fujian when he was nine years old." But that time we separated, and the two never saw each other again. Over the years, the relationship has been maintained by correspondence.

Yuxi asked: "Brother, what do you think is the probability that Cousin Qiu Ye will submit?" Qiu Ye still has the ability to lead troops to fight, but he is not good at other aspects. Fortunately, Qiu Ye is not a headstrong person, he can listen to people's persuasion, and can tolerate others.

Han Jianming said: "Seventy percent." Before Qiu Ye agreed to cooperate with Yuxi to intercept Yu Baojia's fleet, and then he readily sent over the contents of the seven large ships. These behaviors are enough to show that Qiu Ye does not want to follow Yu Baojia's fleet. Yunqing turned against each other. Now that they have the right time and place, as long as Qiu Ye is clear-headed, he will not refuse to surrender. Surrender, you can also keep the existing glory and wealth, if you refuse to wait for him, the army will be overwhelming.

Yuxi smiled and said: "Mother has been talking about elder brother and second elder brother, elder brother will come back this time to accompany mother well."

Han Jianming said: "The matter in Fujian should be resolved as soon as possible." In a man's mind, business affairs are always more important than family background.

Yuxi smiled: "The things in Fujian are not urgent in these ten days and eight days." The main reason is that there are still many prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River that have been confiscated, and the things in Fujian have not yet been put on the agenda.

Seeing Han Jianming's expression of hesitation, Yuxi hurriedly said: "Brother, you and the second brother have not been in Pick City these past few years, mother can't think of it. These days, you must accompany her well."

Qiu Shi kept talking to Yuxi about missing Han Jianming and Han Jianye, but she never wrote to ask them to come back to visit her. Because she was worried about delaying business and affecting her son's future, she would attract complaints.

Han Jian hummed and said, "I will."
