Chapter 799 Death (3)

After waiting for half a month, Yu Cong still didn't get a reply from Feng Dajun and Cui Mo, feeling a little disappointed. He didn't expect that Feng Dajun and Cui Mo would share his hatred with him, but the fact that they didn't reply to the letter showed that they were on Xu Wu's side.

The housekeeper came over and reported: "Master, Jingxin Courtyard has been painted, just need to add furniture." Jingxin Courtyard is the largest courtyard in Yu Mansion, and it was used by Yu Cong to get married. But this name was not chosen by Yu Cong, but Master Liu Er said that the courtyard where Liu Yi lives at home is called Jingxin Courtyard.

Yu Cong said: "Don't worry about the furniture and decorations. I have prepared all the things that need to be bought when we get married." The Liu family has prepared all the furniture and decorations in the new house, so there is no need to buy anything else.

The person in charge said: "The things are almost ready, we just need to send the wedding invitations." In fact, sending the wedding invitations is the most important thing.

Yu Cong said: "You draw up the list and give it to me." He had to think about the list of guests.

That night, Second Master Liu came to look for Yu Cong again, and asked Yu Cong if the two letters had any results. Hearing that Feng Dajun and Cui Mo didn't reply, Second Master Liu was a little disappointed. But in front of Yu Cong, he didn't show it.

The two talked for a long time in the study. When sending Second Master Liu out, Yu Cong had a smile on his face. Obviously, the two talked very well this time.

The next day Yu Cong gave the wedding invitation to Fang Xing, and said with a smile, "On the day of my wedding, Brother Fang, you must not be absent."

Fang Xing frowned invisibly and said, "Brother Yu, don't blame me for being troublesome, this marriage shouldn't be a big deal."

Yu Cong said: "A manly man, what he promises means what he says. I promised to marry Mrs. Liu as an equal wife, so I will do what I say."

Fang Xing said, "Brother Yu, have you never thought about what the prince will think when he finds out that you married the Liu family?" Although the prince did not touch the Liu family, the Liu family is actually the prince's woman in name. Now that Yu Cong married Liu Shi as his equal wife, wouldn't this be a shame on the prince? Taking a ten thousand step back, even if Liu Shi's innocence was unintentionally ruined, carrying Liu Shi into the mansion in a pink sedan chair was the most benevolent act. After all, Liu Yi, a big girl who never came home and lived in Yu Mansion all the time, was already arousing suspicion.

Yu Cong said: "I have already asked the prince about this matter, and the prince said that he has no intentions of Miss Liu, and that it has nothing to do with whoever Miss Liu marries." Seeing Fang Xing's expressionless face, Yu Cong smiled and said: "No. Having said that, you must come when I get married, so you have to give brother this face."

Fang Xing said what he needed to say, and seeing that Yu Cong couldn't listen, he didn't want to talk any more nonsense: "I will go when the time comes."

After the two separated, Shi Hua, Fang Xing's bodyguard, couldn't help but said, "General, are you really going to attend this ridiculous wedding banquet?"

Fang Xing shook his head and said, "It's just to deal with him." He definitely won't go to this wedding banquet, he can't afford to lose face. When that day comes, just find a reason to prevaricate.

Shi Hua couldn't understand anymore, and asked: "General, we have all seen this Liu Yi before, and it's not that she is all over the country, she just plays the piano well, so why did she become so fascinated by General Yu? Even his wife and children No more?" No matter how bad Mrs. Lin is, she is also Yu Cong Mingmei's wife. Yu Cong's behavior made outsiders look down on him.

Fang Xing shook his head and said, "There is an old saying that ghosts are obsessed with one's mind, and it refers to Yu Cong's current situation!" Apart from that, there is no better word to describe it.

Shi Hua sighed a little: "General Yu's doing this is tantamount to destroying his future." Yu Cong's ability is not outstanding among the generals, and it can even be said to be very backward. But he has been with Yunqing for more than 20 years, and this kind of affection is not comparable to that of Fang Xing and others. As long as Yu Cong doesn't get confused, Yunqing will definitely not treat him badly when he wins the world in the future.

Speaking of which, Yunqing asked Yu Cong to come to Jiangnan this time to give Yu Cong a chance to make contributions. result,

Not much merit has been done, but a lot of moths have been done.

Fang Xingdao: "That's what he asked for." In fact, if Yu Cong wakes up now, he still has a chance to turn around. It's a pity that he himself plunged in and couldn't get out.

Yu Cong sent wedding invitations to everyone he was acquainted with, and even the Governor's Mansion received wedding invitations.

Han Jianming held the big red wedding invitation, laughed, and said, "Why do you think he has such a big face? He actually sent me a wedding invitation to invite me to a wedding banquet?" In the officialdom, unless it is a life-and-death enemy, the grievances have already been settled. On the stage, otherwise no matter how the fight is going on in private, everyone will still be kind on the surface. If Yu Congzhen married a wife, it would be normal to send wedding invitations to Han Jianming. But the problem is that Yu Cong is now a concubine. To take a concubine, at most, set up two tables and invite some acquaintances to have fun, so as not to invite even the immediate superior.

Han Jianming is the governor of Jiangnan with the largest official position. Both Yu Cong and Fang Xing are under Han Jianming's management. It's just that Han Jianming has no intention of interfering in military power, so he gets along with Fang Xing and Yu Cong fairly happily.

Han Gao said: "Master, do we still want to give that gift?" What kind of flat wife is just a noble concubine, making such a big fanfare just makes people laugh.

Han Jianming said: "It's not time to tear your face." Since Yu Xi hasn't ordered him to do it, then he will live in peace with Yu Cong, so he is going to give this gift.

Han Gao was a little puzzled, and asked, "Master, the evidence we collected from Liu's family is enough to make them beyond redemption. Why didn't the concubine give the order so long?"

Han Jianming said: "The princess has her own considerations." In fact, Han Jianming guessed that Yuxi wanted to wait for Yu Cong to marry Liu Yi before doing anything. The Liu family is the lackeys of the imperial court, how can Yu Cong, the son-in-law of the Liu family, escape the suspicion. At that time, if the concubine punishes Yu Cong again, the obstacles she will encounter will be much smaller.

Naturally, Han Gao would not criticize Yuxi: "I couldn't understand the master explaining political affairs to the princess before. Now that I think about it, the master still has foresight." Embroidery and housekeeping in the girl's house are enough, understanding political affairs is useless. Unfortunately, the princess overturned his idea.

Thinking of what happened back then, Han Jianming also felt that it was wrong: "I would explain political affairs to her back then, but Yuxi was very keen on political affairs. Who would have known that she would have such good luck!" Han Jianming taught Yuxi The role is still very obvious, at least it gave Yuxi a foundation, and she would not be in a hurry when she first came into contact with government affairs.

Han Gao said with a smile: "The princess is able to be what she is today, thanks to the master." Of course, the princess treats her master well.

Han Jianming didn't take credit for it, saying, "It's up to the princess to get to where she is today. What I can help is very limited." His goal has always been to revitalize the Han family, and now he is not far from his goal.

Han Gao felt that his master was too modest, and before he could speak, he heard Han Hao say outside: "Master, there is a letter from the house."

Every time he received a letter from the Han family, Han Jianming's complexion was not very good-looking, and this time was no exception.

Han Gao asked: "Master, is it possible that the eldest lady is making trouble again?" Apart from the occasional disturbance by the eldest lady, there is no other trouble in the mansion.

Han Jianming said with a sullen face: "The doctor said, the lady is dead." The husband and wife who have been married for more than ten years, even though many incidents have occurred in the Ye family these years, and even affected the relationship between the Han family and the Wang family, but now they know that the Ye family is going to die Yes, he was still a little sad.

Han Gao said: "Can't you survive this year?" If Han Gao said it, the death of Mrs. Ye would save a big trouble.

Han Jianming shook his head and said, "It's difficult." After finishing speaking, he stopped talking and started writing letters.

After writing the letter, Han Jianming ordered again: "Pick out half of the good medicinal materials in the warehouse and send them to Haocheng." As the governor of Jiangnan, it is easy to get some good things.

Han Gao responded, "Okay."

It took a lot of effort and a lot of money to find out about Xia Jing's details.

Seeing that Nanny Gui's expression was not quite right, Yuchen asked, "Mommy, what's wrong with you?"

Ever since she ordered Nanny Gui to inquire about Xia Jing, Yuchen had to ask her every day. Nanny Gui thought for a while, and knew that she couldn't hide this matter even if she wanted to: "Your Majesty, the person who went to inquire about the news has replied."

Thinking about Nanny Gui's expression just now, Yuchen suddenly felt uncomfortable: "How about the second girl of the Xia family?"

Nanny Gui said softly: "Miss Xia looks beautiful, but she is a bit arrogant." Arrogant is just a euphemism. In fact, Xia Jing's temperament is very tyrannical. He beat and scolded the servant girl in the mansion, at such a young age, he already had five or six lives on his hands.

Yuchen is not stupid, how could he believe this: "Mother Gui, tell me the truth, how is this Xia Jing? Is it terrible?" She still doesn't know that Zhou Yan doesn't want to marry Xia Jing at all, But he's just a puppet, and it's useless to object.

Nanny Gui lowered her head and told Yuchen all the news she had heard.

Yuchen was so shocked that his face turned pale, but a fifteen-year-old girl took five lives? This is something normal people can do. After a while, Yuchen asked with a fluke mentality: "Nurse, is it true that the information I inquired about is not true? After all, she is also a girl from the Minister of Rites, how could she be so cruel?" The girl from a rich family, There are many things that have a bad temper. But no matter how bad his temper is, he won't be like a lunatic who likes to kill people!

Nanny Gui smiled wryly and said: "Madam, the Xia Mansion has concealed the news very well. Miss Xia's reputation outside is not bad except for a little arrogance." Naturally, Nanny Gui did not believe those evaluations from outside. She spent a lot of money to pry open the mouth of a woman who worked in Miss Xia's yard. These things were all said by the old woman herself.

Yuchen said: "That woman's words may not be credible." She still hoped that the news was wrong, otherwise she really didn't know how to meet Zhou Yan.

Nanny Gui shook her head and said, "Miss Xia's servant girl has changed very frequently. From the time she was eight years old to now, she has changed five or six times." Unless you get married or make a big mistake, you will send it out. It is normal to change one or two times, but it is not normal to change so many times.

When Yuchen heard this, he suddenly walked outside.

Nanny Gui hurriedly took Yuchen's hand and said, "Princess, where are you going?"

Yuchen struggled and said, "I'm going to ask him why he chooses such a wife for Yan'er out of so many good girls." She didn't expect Yan Wushuang to choose a wise and virtuous woman for Yan'er, but At least face to face. What did you choose? Obviously a lunatic.

Nanny Gui hugged Yuchen and said, "Madam, you can't go! If you go, you will definitely annoy the prince. When the prince gets angry, the emperor will suffer in the end!" Zhou Yan has always been Yuchen's heart disease, On weekdays, she tries not to mention it as much as possible, so as not to make Yuchen sad.

Yuchen cried very sadly: "What did my Yan'er do wrong? Why did she have to suffer like this?" She was too incompetent as a mother, she couldn't even protect her own child.

Nanny Gui sighed inwardly, the emperor's fault was that he was the heir of the royal Zhou family. The prince hates the Zhou family to death, so how can he make the emperor feel better. It's nothing to choose such a lunatic woman as queen for the emperor. I'm afraid that the prince will not let the emperor go in the end, and he will kill him. She didn't know if Yuchen could bear such a blow.

After crying for a while, Yuchen calmed down and washed again, changed his clothes, and then took Nanny Gui to the front yard to look for Yan Wushuang.

After being married to Yan Wushuang for so many years, this is the first time Yuchen has come to look for Yan Wushuang on his own initiative. With a pair of favored children, the people below did not dare to neglect, and soon reported the matter.

Yan Wushuang raised his eyebrows and said, "Let her in!" Han Yuchen came here to meet him, most likely because of Zhou Yan's business, but he didn't know what Han Yuchen wanted to tell him.

Yuchen entered the study, saw Yan Wushuang and asked, "Why did you choose such a queen for Yan'er?"

Yan Wushuang smiled, and it was exactly as he expected: "The second girl Xia is not only beautiful, but also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and female celebrity cooking skills, and is the second daughter of the Minister of Rites. Is such a girl still wronged?" Zhou Yan?"

Yuchen said: "At such a young age, more than ten lives have been contaminated. How can such a tyrannical, cruel and vicious woman be told to Yan'er?"

Yan Wushuang said indifferently: "Concubine Han thinks too much, she just killed a few disobedient servants, how can she be cruel and vicious? Besides, Zhou Yan is cowardly, so she should marry someone who is really hot." women, this is the only way to complement each other.”

Yuchen knelt on the ground, tears rolled down like broken pearls: "My lord, such a woman is not a good match. My lord, please choose someone for Zhou Yan! I don't ask for more appearance, nor for family status." , as long as the temperament is gentle and sensible."

Yan Wushuang readily agreed: "As long as Zhou Yan is willing to change, I can ask the Ministry of Rites to choose another candidate." In this way, it must take a lot of effort.

Yuchen didn't expect it to be so easy, and was stunned for a moment. When she came back to her senses, Yuchen wiped away her tears and said, "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness."

Yan Wushuang smiled and said, "You thanked you too early." If his guess was right, Zhou Yan would definitely not change the candidate after he knew the reason.

As Yan Wushuang expected, Zhou Yan really did not agree to change the candidate. His reason was very simple. The candidate had already been announced.

After Yuchen found out, he begged Yan Wushuang: "My lord, I want to see the emperor." A woman like Xia Jing cannot marry home no matter what. Otherwise, Zhou Yan will definitely regret it in the future.

Yan Wushuang spoke very well: "Yes." (To be continued)
