Chapter 20 Crisis
As soon as Yunqing arrived at the barracks, he saw Fu Tianlei, Fu Qingluo's eldest brother.
Fu Tianlei joked with a smile: "Yunqing, everyone in Yucheng now knows that General Yun has been refined into steel and turned into soft fingers." Unexpectedly, Yunqing, a big man, would go shopping with his wife. Not to mention other people, even he found it incredible after knowing it.
Yun Qing has a good relationship with Fu Tianlei, and he didn't feel any embarrassment, and said: "She is not familiar with Yucheng, let her get acquainted with Yucheng. It will be difficult to have a chance in the future."
After hearing this, Fu Tianlei pretended to be helpless: "You don't know, after my daughter-in-law heard about you, she kept complaining, saying that I am not as good as you!"
Yun Qing smiled, Fu Tianlei and Fu Da's mother-in-law are childhood sweethearts who grew up together, and they have a very good relationship, he was even envious before! However, now that he has Yuxi, he doesn't have to envy Fu Tianlei anymore.
Fu Tianlei came to Yunqing this time because he had a serious business to say: "Yunqing, I got the news this morning that Qin Zhao is going to Beijing this time and will take Qin Yue with him." Qin Yue is Qin Zhao's younger sister, sixteen years old this year , is reaching the age of marriage.
Yun Qing's expression changed, and he said, "What does he want to do?" Qin Yue is Marshal Qin's most beloved granddaughter, but he never expected to become Qin Zhao's tool for profit.
Fu Tianlei said: "I guess he wants to marry Qin Yue to the Song family!" Without Marshal Qin, no one can suppress Qin Zhao anymore.
Yun Qing shook his head and said, "No, with Qin Zhao's ambition, he will not marry Ah Yue to the Song family. If he wants to marry, he will only let Qin Yue marry the prince."
Fu Tianlei looked at Yunqing, smiled wryly and said, "If so, is there really no cure for him?" Although Qin Yue was good-looking, he grew up in a border city and had a simple personality. Sending him to the prince's mansion is not letting Qin Yue go into the mouth of a tiger!
Yun Qing sighed, and said: "The marshal is gone, and no one can stop him." Qin Zhao is really acting more and more recklessly now.
Fu Tianlei has another level of worry: "My father said that if Qin Zhao continues like this, all of us may be implicated." Seeing Yun Qing looking at him, Fu Tianlei said: "Yun Qing, my father said that if Qin Zhao goes on like this, we will all be implicated." If this continues, Yucheng may become the second Tongcheng." Today Tongcheng is completely controlled by the Song family.
Yun Qing's face was ugly. The tragedy in Tongcheng made him lose his parents and family, which was the eternal pain in his heart: "What does General Fu mean?"
Fu Tianlei shook his head and said: "I asked, but my father didn't say anything." His father always said half a sentence and left half a sentence, he was really anxious to death.
Yunqing's mood was calm.
After going back at night, Yunqing's expression was not much. Seeing this, Yuxi hurriedly asked: "What's the matter? Did something happen in the barracks?"
Yun Qing thought for a while, and then repeated Fu Tianlei's exclusive [UU Reading 00kxs]: "The Song family is ambitious. General Fu's worry is not unreasonable." He did not want the Northwest Army to fall into the hands of the Song family.
But Yuxi asked a question that was irrelevant: "Husband, what kind of person is General Fu?" Knowing that the Qin family's kindness to Yunqing is as great as a mountain, Yunqing took action against Qin Zhao because of his kindness. , and to say these heart-pounding words, General Fu doesn't know what he's thinking.
Yun Qing's evaluation was very pertinent: "General Fu is straightforward and brave in battle, but now that he is old and injured, he can no longer go to the battlefield."
These words have no practical value. Yuxi asked very strangely: "Qin Yue is sixteen years old this year, why didn't the Marshal not betroth her before?"
After listening to Yun Qing's explanation, Yu Xi realized that half of the girls in the border town would only talk about kissing after they were sixteen years old. First of all, the border town is no better than the capital city. There are more men than women here, and women are more delicate.
Secondly, when a man reaches his age, he will go to the battlefield. If the man loses his marriage too early, his reputation will be damaged. This is also the reason why Qin Yue is not engaged.
Yu Xi said: "Nowadays the hottest prince in the capital is King Xuan. If Qin Zhao wants to marry Qin Yue, it is very likely that he will be King Xuan."
Yun Qing didn't like anyone in the Song family, nor did he like the Ninth Prince Xuan Wang and the Tenth Prince Jing Wang. .
Yuxi said: "Husband, Qin Yue is Qin Zhao's biological sister, and his elder brother is like a father. We have no position to stop him from marrying Qin Yue to the capital. As for the others, we will wait and see." Yun Qing is He definitely couldn't deal with Qin Zhao, or else he would be ungrateful. Bearing such a reputation, let alone revenge, he will not be able to gain a foothold in Yucheng by then.
Yun Qing didn't care what happened to Qin Yue, what he cared about was what General Fu said, he couldn't let Yucheng repeat the same mistakes as Tongcheng.
After Yuxi knew Yunqing's scruples, she said softly: "You haven't reached that step yet, you don't have to worry." After a pause, Yuxi said: "Husband, Yucheng is not Tongcheng, as long as you are prepared, it will not happen That kind of thing." But Yunqing's worry is justified, the Song family was able to betray the Yan family to collude with the Donghu people for profit, and this time it is very likely to collude with the North captives in order to kill Yunqing. There is no need to promise benefits, as long as you give the Beiyao people a chance to kill Yunqing, I believe they will be very happy. Therefore, Qin Zhao had to guard against it. As for the Fu family, it is also necessary to guard against it.
Yuxi's head hurts a bit. She originally thought about a peaceful and stable life, but she didn't expect to fall into such a complicated situation.
On the second day, Yuxi was settling accounts in the room.
Mother Qu walked in and handed her a greeting card. The post was sent by the Qin family, saying that they would come to visit Yuxi. Don't know what that means either.
Looking at the post, Yuxi recalled what Yun Qing said to her yesterday, and guessed why Mrs. Qin wanted to visit her: "I accepted the post and told the person that I am free tomorrow."
Zijin snorted coldly and said, "Girl, is the weasel uneasy and kind to the chicken?" Mrs. Qin's visit must be up to no good.
Mother Qu also felt that this was wrong: "Ma'am, this is really wrong." If she was just talking and chatting, she would send invitations to her wife instead of greetings.
Yuxi smiled and said: "My husband told me yesterday that Qin Zhao wanted to send his sister to the capital. I guess, Mrs. Qin's invitation to ask me about things in the capital. Since there is something to ask Naturally, I will take the initiative to visit." If Qin Zhao really wanted to send Qin Yue to Prince Xuan's Mansion, he would naturally want to know more about it. Knowing even superficial things is better than knowing nothing.
Yuxi's guess was correct, but what she didn't expect was that Mrs. Xu not only came by herself, but also brought Qin Yue along.
Qin Yue's appearance is delicate and beautiful, her eyes are like pools of clear water, her complexion is fair and delicate, such a good complexion is rare in this Northwest place.
After Qin Yue bowed to Yu Xi, she said with a smile: "I've been listening to my sister-in-law talking about Madam, and I'm finally lucky enough to see Madam today." When Yu Xi visited the Qin Mansion last time, Qin Yue was ill and did not come out .
No one doesn't like to hear good things, Yuxi is no exception, she said with a smile: "I just don't know what Mrs. Qin said about me?"
Qin Yue said: "My sister-in-law said that Madam is not only beautiful, she is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her embroidery is unmatched." As she spoke, she looked at Yu Xi with adoring eyes. Fortunately, Yuxi is a woman, so she will not be confused. If it is a man, she will definitely bow down under the pomegranate skirt.
Yuxi said with a smile on her face: "Those who know are talking about me, those who don't know think you are talking about fairies descending to earth! Only fairies can be so perfect." She smiled on her face, but she had feelings for Qin Yue in her heart. new cognition. She thought that Qin Yue, like Fu Qingluo and the others, was a straightforward woman, but only now did she realize that she was wrong. Her appearance is fair, but she is also a little impatient, and with the Qin family as her backing, even if she marries King Xuan, she should be able to get a side concubine.
Qin Yue said very sincerely: "In my heart, Madam is a fairy who descended to earth." Looking at Qin Yue's speech, no one doubted that she was telling lies.
Yuxi was so praised that she almost flew into the sky.
Zisu brought tea and snacks. Xu ate a piece of pumpkin glutinous rice and candied dates cake. This cake was sweet and glutinous, and tasted very good: "This is the first time I have eaten this kind of cake."
Qin Yue also ate a piece, and said after eating: "Ma'am, I have never been to the capital, but I only heard from my elder brother that the capital is very big, several times the size of Yucheng. And I heard that the capital is very prosperous and has everything, as long as Is it true that money can buy anything? Madame?"
Yuxi smiled and nodded: "The capital city is much bigger than Yucheng, and it is estimated that it will take three days to complete the tour. The goods are also very complete, and there are things for sale from all over the world, such as velvet ginseng from Liaodong, silk rouge from Jiangnan, Pu'er and Cordyceps from Yunnan, as well as pearls from the South China Sea, etc. There are all kinds of snacks, and if you want to eat, you won't have the same one for a month." After finishing speaking, he smiled and pointed to the gemstone on the bun Cui Fengchai said, "I went to the jewelry store to look at it two days ago, and the workmanship of those jewelry is too rough, not half as exquisite as Zhenbao Pavilion."
Xu said with a smile: "Yes, the prosperity of the capital is not comparable to that in the northwest. By the way, if I remember correctly, Madam's elder sister seems to be the tenth imperial concubine?"
Yuxi nodded with a smile and said: "My third sister is married to the tenth prince, and gave birth to a pair of twins at the end of last year."
Mrs. Xu exclaimed, "What a blessing!"
Qin Yue said with a look of admiration: "Ma'am, I heard that Princess Jing is overwhelmed by the country, and I don't know if there is a chance to meet her in the capital this time."
Finally got to the point. But Yu Xi was very surprised on the face, and asked: "Miss Qin is going to the capital?"
Qin Yue nodded: "Yes, my brother said he would take me to the capital to see the world. I don't know anything about the capital, so I wonder if Madam can tell me."
Yu Xi nodded with a smile, and said, "As long as I know, I can tell you." Even if she doesn't say these things, the Qin family can still ask other people.
Qin Yue asked Yuxi many questions. Yu Xi was very cooperative and told everything she knew. Qin Yue asked more about King Xuan and Princess Xuan.
Chatting until noon, Yuxi left the two of them for lunch.
After lunch, the two went back. After sending people away, Yuxi said with a smile: "I'm used to dealing with Zhao Ernǎinǎi and others, but now I'm not used to dealing with Miss Qin."
Mother Qu shook her head and said, "Miss Qin's tricks are not enough to be seen in Prince Xuan's mansion." Not to mention Concubine Xuan, and she is not a friendly quarrel with Shou County Lord.
Yuxi smiled and said: "That's just right." But this is just a word, as long as Qin Zhao is there, it is enough for Qin Yue to be safe and sound in Prince Xuan's mansion. (to be continued)
