Chapter 706: The Sinner
Han Jianming only stayed in Pick City for five days before he was ready to go to Fujian. Because this trip was very dangerous, Yuxi equipped him with four personal guards and sixty elite soldiers.
Seeing Yuxi so nervous, Han Jianming said with a smile, "Don't worry! My cousin will send someone to protect me when I arrive in Fujian." Qiu Ye will protect his safety both publically and privately.
Yu Xi said: "You still have to be careful. I can't rest assured that Yan Wushuang is not dead."
Han Jianming smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine." He hasn't revitalized the Han family yet, so how could anything happen.
Yuxi said: "After you go out, you should write letters back often, so that your mother won't miss you all the time."
Han Jianming said: "I told my mother, I'm going on a business trip, and I'll be back in two months at most." Two months is enough to get things done. When he became the governor of Jiangnan, he would be able to send someone to pick up his mother in a fair manner.
Only then did Yuxi nod.
Han Jianming looked ashamed: "In the past few years, you have been troubled by family affairs." If it weren't for Yuxi's presence, he wouldn't be so relieved. When the son was not filial, Yuxi, the daughter, did her filial piety for them.
Yuxi laughed: "What are you talking about? My mother is so kind to me, I should be filial to her." Qiu's behavior is sometimes a little confused, but fortunately he can listen to persuasion and not make trouble unreasonably. If it was the same as Ye Shi, she would have a real headache.
Thinking of this, Yu Xi asked: "My sister-in-law has always wanted to withdraw from the Feng family's marriage after hearing the rumors, have you come back and talked to her this time?" The Han family has always kept the news of Ye's intention to withdraw from the marriage. It is also Lu Xiuzhi who has a good family, and the news has not spread. If not, the Feng family knew that the Han family wanted to withdraw from the marriage, even if this marriage could be successful and married to the Feng family, they would still be wronged.
Han Jianming hummed and said, "I've talked to her for a long time, but now I've given up on this idea." As a younger brother and sister, Lu Xiu's actions are bound to be boundless. The last time I punished the woman who chewed her tongue in Ye Shi's ear, Ye Shi complained a lot. This time, Han Jianming didn't have such concerns. He directly disposed of all the maids and wives around Mrs. Ye, and then selected a new batch. This time, they were all honest and honest. Of course, Han Jianming also said that if anyone dares to gossip at Ye's again, the whole family will be assigned to mine.
Yuxi said: "That's good. By the way, you have to control Brother Chang's marriage well. You have to marry him a wife who is smart, capable and kind-hearted." Don't marry someone like Mrs. Ye, otherwise I don't even know what it has become.
Han Jianming knew that Yuxi was annoyed by Mrs. Ye, but in fact he was also a little annoyed. But no matter how annoying, that is also his married wife: "The doctor said that Mrs. Ye has lost her vitality, and has been depressed all these years. Even if she takes good care of herself, she will not survive this year. So Brother Chang's marriage will take a few days. Let’s talk about it next year.” Once Mrs. Ye died, Brother Chang would have to observe filial piety for three years as his son. Within three years, it is definitely not possible to say kiss.
After hearing this, Yuxi was silent for a while and said: "Brother, if the sister-in-law passes away, don't marry again within three years." Generally speaking, after the wife dies, a man only needs to be filial for his wife for nine months. You can marry again. Of course, there are also many men who marry after their wives die.
Han Jianming was a little surprised, and asked, "How do you talk about this?" This is considered a private matter, and normally Yuxi would not ask
Yuxi also felt that the words just now were a bit abrupt, and said with a wry smile: "Brother, think I didn't say what I said just now!" She was thinking of her biological mother just now, and Han Jingdong remarried to the Wu family not long after her biological mother passed away. Yuxi didn't want Han Jianming to do the same, because it made people feel very unfeeling.
Han Jianming nodded and said, "Even if you don't tell me, if Mrs. Ye dies of illness, I won't remarry within three years." , and later fled thousands of miles with him to the city of pickaxe. just look at these,
It's time for him to guard Ye Shi for three years.
Yu Xi nodded her head, but her expression was a little sad.
Han Jianming suddenly understood: "Yuxi, do you think of the third aunt?" Han Jianming actually didn't have much impression of Yuxi's biological mother. Ning was already four years old when he married, and he had to study with his husband every day and rarely went to the backyard. Even if they went to the backyard, they would go back to the courtyard of the old lady and Qiu Shi, and the chances of meeting Ning Shi were few and far between.
Yuxi hummed and said: "Speaking of which, I have never been to sacrifice to her, let alone sweep her grave." Only after she had a child did she know that being a mother is not easy. Thinking about when her mother left, I couldn't let her go.
Han Jianming said: "When we hit the capital in the future, it won't be too late for you to visit the third aunt's grave." Han Jianming was very confident about Yunqing and Yuxi.
Yuxi said: "Brother, go back and clean up! This road is very dangerous, you have to take care of yourself."
Han Jianming smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about me, I will be safe." As long as you are careful, these people are enough to protect his safety.
A smile also appeared on Yuxi's face: "Then I'll wait for the good news from big brother." If the Fujian matter can be resolved peacefully, it will save a lot of trouble.
Han Jianming smiled and said, "Well, I will definitely convince my cousin." He would only say this in front of Yuxi, not in front of other people.
Qiu Shi didn't know that Han Jianming was going to Fujian, but thought he was going to other places on business. When sending Han Jianming off, her eyes were red and swollen from crying.
Lu Xiu gave another piece of comfort.
After a few days, Zao Zao asked Yu Xi something before eating: "Mother, I heard from Uncle Xu that Uncle Xu is going to Fujian as a lobbyist this time. Is this true?"
Yuxi asked: "Why do you ask this?"
Zao Zao asked in puzzlement, "Mother, why didn't you just send troops to take down Fujian, why did you ask uncle to talk to Qiu Ye?"
Yuxi said seriously: "In war, what you fight is money. Although your father has captured a lot of spoils, it is far from enough."
Zao Zao let out a cry and said, "Just because you don't have any money, you want uncle to negotiate peace with Qiu Ye?" She thought a lot, but she didn't expect such a reason.
Yuxi said: "Fighting means that there will be casualties. If it can be resolved peacefully without going to war, it will save a lot of deaths. Zao Zao, Ah Hao, you have to remember that if you can solve it peacefully, don't use force."
Brother Hao nodded and said, "Mother, I understand."
Zao Zao, who likes to use fists to solve problems, shrugged and said, "It's simple and quick to use force directly." Using other methods is too troublesome.
The corners of Yuxi's mouth twitched, in order not to affect her appetite, she finally held back and stopped preaching to Zaozao.
On this day, Yuchen was mixing incense in the house when he suddenly heard noises in the yard. Yuchen asked, "What's going on? Who's talking outside?"
Shi Xiang lifted the crystal curtain and walked into the room, and said with a happy face: "Go back to your mother, it is the prince who sent something over." After a pause, Shi Xiang added: "This time the prince only sent something to the mother. stuff that no one else has."
Yuchen put down the petals in his hand and walked out, and saw five big boxes neatly placed in the main room. Yuchen was a little surprised, Yan Wushuang would give her things before, but he was not so generous. Yuchen ordered one of the rough envoys, "Open all the boxes."
The items in the five boxes are different, the first box is dazzling jewellery, the second box is exquisite porcelain, the third box is jade ornaments, the fourth box is calligraphy and painting, and the fifth box is The case is embroidery.
Yuchen's eyes fell on the jade box, and he stepped forward and took out a square rosewood box from it.
Seeing that Yuchen's hands were shaking, Nanny Gui hurriedly asked, "Ma'am, what's wrong with you?" She felt that Yuchen's mood was not quite right.
Yuchen put the sandalwood box on the round table, then opened it carefully, and saw a Jade Buddha inside.
This jade Buddha is made of Hetian jade. It is composed of two parts: the Buddha statue sitting in the lotus position and the lotus xumizuo. The disassembled four layers are stacked.
When Yuchen saw this Jade Buddha, he knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "Grandmother." This Jade Buddha used to be enshrined in the old lady's Buddhist hall, and the Qiu family continued to enshrine it after the old lady passed away. After Han Jianming fled the capital with Qiu Shi, the Jade Buddha disappeared.
Seeing Yuchen knelt down and crying, the maid in the main room looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Nanny Gui walked over [UU Reading 00kxs] and helped Yuchen up, and said, "Don't be sad, Ma'am, the prince found the old lady's belongings, and the old lady has the knowledge."
Yuchen cried more and more sadly. Why did the prince find the relics of his grandmother? It is very likely that Yan Wushuang found these things from the secret passage of the Duke's mansion.
After crying for a while, Yuchen said to Nanny Gui: "Help me into the house!"
Hearing this, Nanny Gui hurriedly called Shi Xiang, and the two helped Yuchen into the house together.
Shi Xiang looked at Yuchen and said, "Madam, what should I do with the things in the main room?" Just listening to Yuchen's words just now, I know that these things probably have a history.
Yuchen said with grief and indignation: "Put all these things in the warehouse." She doesn't want to see those things at all now. If it weren't for her, Yan Wushuang would not have thought about digging the Duke's mansion. Before, she was lucky, thinking that some people might not be able to find the secret way. She has really become a sinner of the Duke's Mansion.
Nanny Gui asked Shi Xiang to go out, and then said: "Your Majesty, don't think too much, it's useless to think too much. If your Majesty really doesn't want these things, just find a reason to reward these things to the Han family after a while."
Yuchen shook his head and said: "The treasures of the Duke's Mansion over the years, the painstaking efforts of the ancestors, are all lost because of me." So what about sending a few things back to the Han family? Besides, Han Jianjun and Han Jianxing would not know the value of this. Give it to them, and if they are not allowed to turn around, they will exchange it for money.
Nanny Gui also felt that what Yan Wushuang was doing was not a matter of human affairs. If she found something to dig up, she could handle it by herself, and even specially sent some of it to her master. Wasn't this intentional to poach his master's heart! Nanny Gui said: "Your Majesty, these things are all dead things, if they are gone, they will be gone."
Yuchen shook her head and said, "Mommy, I want to be alone." She doesn't want to say anything now.
Nanny Gui immediately retreated to the side and didn't speak any more. (to be continued)
