Chapter 35 The Murderer (2)
After coming here for a while, Yu Xi didn't dare to lift the curtain until he could not hear the sound of horses in the place, and asked Han Jianming, "Brother, was that man Yun Qing, the grandson of General Yun's mansion just now?"
Before Han Jianming could answer, Han Jianye began to mutter: "I didn't expect this guy to be so famous. Even Xi'er, you've heard of him."
Yu Xi trembled, Yun Qing, Sun Yunqing, the eldest son of General Yun's mansion, was a famous murderer in the Great Zhou Dynasty, how could she not have heard of it?
Yun Qing had never lost a battle since he led the army, but he was criticized a little. He never left any survivors during the battle, which meant that he had no prisoners, and the corpses piled up like a mountain after each battle. In addition, he also slaughtered a city, a city with tens of thousands of people, but it became a hell on earth under his order.
Yu Xi remembered very clearly that when news of the massacre was reported back to the capital, his fiancée was frightened to death. This incident was very popular in the capital at that time, even Yu Xi, who was not well informed in the inner house, had heard of it.
Suddenly, Yuxi suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Second brother, is the other young man Jiang Wenrui's eldest son?" If she remembered correctly, Jiang Hongfu's mother should be a girl from the Yun family. The names of the two people just now should be cousins.
Han Jianye is relatively rough, but Han Jianming is not. Han Jianming was very surprised when he heard this: "Where did the fourth sister hear about cousin Hongfu?"
Yuxi's heart skipped a beat, she didn't expect that boy was really Jiang Hongfu. No wonder she always felt a little familiar when she looked at Jiang Hongfu, Jiang Hongfu looked a little like Jiang Hongjin. Yuxi suppressed the turbulent waves in her heart, and said with a smile: "I heard from the mother-in-law in the mansion that they said that Mr. Jiang's eldest son is very good at studying, and he also worshiped a famous teacher, but his biological mother passed away too early. No know if it's true."
The mother-in-law of the Duke's Mansion gathered together and would gossip about the capital, Han Jianming knew about it, so he didn't doubt it: "Well, Cousin Hongfu is very smart, and he has studied well since he was a child, and now he has worshiped Baitan The head of the academy is the teacher." The head of the White Sandalwood Academy is a world-renowned Confucian, and Jiang Hongfu's future is boundless if he can be worshiped as his teacher.
Yuxi has only heard of Jiang Hongfu's intelligence, but she doesn't know the specifics: "It is indeed very powerful to worship such a famous teacher. By the way, big brother, second brother, cousin Yunqing, is he very good?"
Han Jianye didn't think much about it, and said, "Yunqing started to practice martial arts at the age of three. Whether it's martial arts or riding and archery, no one of his age in Beijing can match him."
Han Jianming couldn't help but interjected, and said: "Cousin Yunqing is not bad at reading, second brother, you have to compare with others, both civil and military." Yunqing is the same year as Han Jianye, think about Yunqing and then look at him Brother, Han Jianming couldn't help sighing, if his brother was half as good as Yunqing, he would have laughed.
Yuxi was a little puzzled, it was rumored that Yunqing not only likes to kill people, but also said that he likes to eat human flesh and drink human blood, he is an extremely perverted guy. That's why she was frightened when she heard the name just now. But thinking of that young man's hearty laughter and that jumpy temper, Yu Xi was puzzled why Ren Yunqing changed so much before and after. There must have been some major change in this. As for what happened, Yu Xi didn't know. In her previous life, she didn't understand her own affairs, so she didn't care about other people's affairs. Furthermore, although Yun Qing has a fierce reputation, he lives a much more unrestrained life than her.
Back at the Rose Garden, Yuxi opened the things Yunqing and Jiang Hongfu gave. Jiang Hongfu gave two Ruyi gold nudes in the red envelope, and Yunqing gave a pair of simple and cute little golden pigs.
Yuxi touched the two little golden pigs, and murmured, no wonder they are so heavy in the hand, these two little golden pigs must be four or five taels.
On this trip, Yuxi made a lot of money. Having tasted the sweetness, Yuxi followed Brother Han Jianming to Zhou's house in Changping Hou Mansion the next day. This time, not only Yu Xi followed, but also Yu Ru.
Visiting relatives is not finished until the sixth day of the junior high school.
Yu Xi did some calculations, and besides the meeting gifts, the red envelopes alone cost more than four hundred taels of silver, which is really a lot of money. No wonder it is said that children like to celebrate the New Year, and there is money to collect during the New Year!
Seeing Yuxi looking at these gold and silver nudes, Hongshan laughed so hard her eyes disappeared, and she murmured in her heart that her girl was already a money fanatic.
In the blink of an eye, it was the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, and Han Jianye asked Yuxi, "Xi'er, do you want to come with me to see lanterns during the Lantern Festival?"
Yuxi's eyes flickered, and she said, "Okay!" She had never seen a lantern in her previous life, so how could she miss it if she had the opportunity in this life.
Han Jianming stopped and said, "Nonsense, there are too many people on the Lantern Festival night, it's dangerous, you can't go."
Yu Xi said indifferently: "Don't be afraid, you two will protect me." To see the lanterns, there must be many servants following, so there is nothing to worry about.
After hearing this, Han Jianye burst into a smile.
Seeing Yuxi's appearance, Han Jianming felt a little headache. Before, I thought that Yuxi had a very calm temperament, but when it comes to playing, it shows her true nature. Han Jianming threatened: "There are many kidnappers on the night of the Lantern Festival, and many children were kidnapped by these people. You can't go." Not only kidnappers, but also a stampede occurred during the Lantern Festival. It can be said that the Lantern Festival is very dangerous. Unless a box is reserved, the girls of the family will not be allowed to watch the lanterns.
Han Jianye patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, brother, I will protect Xi'er."
Han Jianming really wanted to pull his brother's ears to see if he was listening to him. Knowing that persuasion is useless, Han Jianming resorted to his trump card: "This matter has to be agreed with my grandmother and mother." The mother may agree, but the grandmother will definitely not agree.
Yuxi took Han Jianye's hand, blinked her big eyes, and said pitifully: "Second brother, it's all up to you." It's strange to say that the old lady is very strict with the eldest son, but she is very fond of Han Jianye, even if Han Jianye Xiao didn't grow up beside him, and the old lady loved Han Jianye very much.
Han Jianye agreed straight away: "Why don't you just go out to watch the lanterns during the Lantern Festival? Grandma will definitely agree to anything big, and the second brother will take care of it."
Yuxi thought it would be a good time, but to Yuxi's surprise, the old lady agreed. Unfortunately, Qiu Shi refused to let go.
Qiu Shi pulled Yuxi and said: "There are too many people on the Lantern Festival night, it's too dangerous, so I can't go." There are accidents every year at the Lantern Festival, and she dare not take risks.
Yuxi really wanted to go, she had never seen a lantern in her previous life for more than twenty years, and this time she finally had the chance, so she was willing to give up easily: "Auntie, I have never seen a lantern when I grow up, you just let me I'm going!"
Under Yu Xi's repeated begging, the Qiu family was finally defeated. But he said: "When you go out, you can't leave your elder brother and second elder brother, you know?"
Yuxi nodded hurriedly.
The news that Yuxi was going to see the lantern was known by Yuru and Yuchen. The two also wanted to see the lanterns, but they were flatly rejected by the old lady. The reason for the old lady's refusal was simple, it was too unsafe to watch the lanterns.
Yuchen was a little depressed, and asked: "Grandmother, since it's not safe, why did you let the fourth sister go?"
It's always difficult for the old lady to say that you can't bump into each other, but Yuxi doesn't hinder her. There are things that can be done but cannot be said. The old lady said vaguely: "It's okay for your eldest brother and second brother to protect the fourth girl alone, but it's definitely not enough to protect the three of you." In fact, Yuchen's appearance is definitely the first choice of those kidnappers.
Yuchen was a little disappointed, but she quickly said, "Grandma, can I visit next year?"
The old lady thought for a while and said, "Yes, next year we will reserve the location in advance." There are many restaurants next to the lantern festival, and you can watch the lanterns in the boxes. Although the effect is discounted, it is better than nothing.
But Yuru felt very uncomfortable. She went back to her yard and said to Qingxuan, "Now not only the mother favors the fourth younger sister, but also the elder brother and the second elder brother are partial to her." Xi went to her grandfather's house, and Yuxi was not from the eldest family, so if she wanted to take her, she should be taken there. Thinking of this, Yuru felt very uncomfortable.
Qingxuan sighed in her heart: "Miss, it is also a favor left by Miss Si's biological mother to be so loved by Miss Si, Miss Si, why should Miss fight with her for these things?" Let the wife remember the goodness of the girl, and find a good house for the girl in the future.
But Yuru said: "Qingxuan, do you feel that Miss Si seems to be a different person since she fell ill?"
Qingxuan had a bad feeling in her heart: "What do you want to say?"
Yuru remembered that people in the mansion said that the green bamboo building was not clean, and after Yuxi fell ill once, she was so weird again: "Do you think the fourth sister was stained with unclean things?"
Qingxuan broke out in a cold sweat, and said in a low voice: "Girl, you must not talk nonsense. If you let the madam and the son know, the girl will definitely suffer." At that time, they, the maids, will have to follow along. suffer.
But Yuru felt that her guess was right: "Qingxuan, think about it carefully, does Yuxi seem to be a different person since she recovered from her illness? She was stupid and stupid before, but now she is so smart Also, she said that she is talented in embroidery, but no matter how talented a person is, it is impossible to learn needlework in less than a month..."
Qingxuan immediately considered Yuru's words, and said, "Girl, the fourth girl is just a little smarter than before, nothing else is abnormal."
Yuru looked at Qingxuan's face turned pale: "What's wrong?"
Qingxuan was about to cry: "Girl, we just guessed without evidence and said that the fourth girl was stained with dirty things. At that time, my wife will definitely be furious. Girl, you have reached the age to talk about kissing now. If Madam hates it, what will I do in the future?"
Yuru gritted her teeth and said, "But I can't let this monster make trouble."
Qingxuan knew her master's temperament, if she refuted blindly, it would definitely backfire: "Girl, we have to have evidence." In fact, Qingxuan really didn't think there was anything wrong with Yuxi. It's just that he recovered from his illness and became smarter. Compared with the third girl, he is far worse, and he can be called a monster in nowhere.
Yuru didn't say a word.
