Chapter 134 Tsukiko (2)
Yun Qing took people to the Qin Mansion, where the imperial decree was proclaimed. Yunqing was the last one to arrive. As soon as he walked into the main hall of the Qin Mansion, besides Qin Zhao, Yunqing also saw General Zhao, Fu Tianlei and others.
This time, it was Du Wenshu who announced the decree. He made two trips to the northwest in the past six months, and it was really difficult for him.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Du Wenshu began to read the imperial decree. The purpose is also very simple, that is, let Qin Zhao go to the capital to state the reasons for the defeat of the war, and let Yunqing manage the military affairs of Yucheng on his behalf. Everyone present has their own news channels, so it is not surprising to see this decree.
General Zhao also got the news before, but this will be confirmed. Thinking about Yunqing's actions during this period, General Zhao realized that Yunqing's recuperation was fake, and it was true to retreat for advancement.
Qin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the imperial decree only asked him to go to the capital to state the reasons for the defeat in the war, not to take him to the capital to question his crimes. It's not asking for guilt, and Yunqing is only managing Yucheng's military affairs on his behalf, which also means that he still has a chance.
After reading the imperial decree, he read an oral order from the prince to everyone. The prince's appointment of Du Wenshu as the supervisor of the army is equivalent to saying that Du Wenshu will be stationed in Yucheng in the future: "The appointment document of the Ministry of Officials will be issued soon, and I will ask all the generals to take care of me in the future." Du Wenshu was in a hurry when he came out. , and it was a long journey day and night, and it would take some time for the appointment documents to arrive. If the appointment documents are not available, Du Wenshu cannot take office. But it doesn't prevent him from establishing a good relationship with everyone first.
Yun Qing's face was very cold when he heard this dictation. What he hates the most are these supervisors. They obviously don't understand anything, but they like to point fingers, which eventually leads to delays in fighting. No matter how dissatisfied he was, Yun Qing also knew that the crown prince didn't believe him, and that he sent a supervising army to monitor him, and he was powerless to change the order already issued.
Du Wenshu exchanged greetings with everyone and returned to the station. And Yunqing didn't leave either, now that the imperial decree was issued, he also took over the military affairs of Yucheng. In the past, Yunqing only cared about training and fighting, and Uncle Huo and other people took care of all the affairs of Dingbei Army. Now that he took over the affairs of Yucheng, he realized that it was really all kinds of tedious things.
But at this time in Yunfu, Mother Xi and Lanlan couldn't laugh or cry. Everyone's children are hungry and look for their mothers to ask for milk. Yuxi patted her children awake and let her eat when her chest was swollen and painful. It was the first time for the two of them to see such a willful mother.
Yuxi waited until Zaozao was full and put her down, looked at the disapproval faces of Mama Xi and Mama Lan, and said with a smile: "Anyway, this girl can continue to sleep when she is full. It's okay." The main reason is that this child, Zao Zao, is very well-behaved, if she is patted awake to let her eat milk, she will not cry, and she will continue to sleep after she is full. If she woke up and cried endlessly, Yu Xi would not dare to do so.
After hearing this, Mother Lan said with a smile: "The eldest girl will definitely be a very filial child in the future." She is so obedient in her stomach, she will be so obedient this time, and she will definitely be a obedient child when she grows up.
Yuxi likes to hear these words.
After talking about the child, Mother Xi told Yuxi about another matter: "Madam, the inner courtyard is short of manpower, can you let Azhu come in to serve?" Zisu used to manage the accounts of the inner courtyard. Now that Zisu is gone, everything in the inner courtyard falls on Qu's mother. Mother Qu is very busy now. Apart from Mama Xi and Mama Lan, Yuxi has no other useful people around her. After a long time, it is easy to go wrong.
Yuxi was in good spirits at this moment, and asked Mother Lan: "You have been with Azhu all this way, what do you think of her?"
Mother Lan said: "He is able to hold on to things, the only bad thing is that he has a strong temper." Seeing Yuxi's doubtful expression, Mother Lan quickly explained: "Azhu's parents mean to let her help her. The fiancé keeps filial piety for three years, and will discuss marriage after three years. Although she will be a little older at that time, Ah Zhu has a handsome appearance and is good at needlework.
At that time, the family can send more dowry, and they can still find a marriage. As a result, the servant girl immediately knelt in front of the Bodhisattva and made a poisonous oath, saying that she would never marry for life and would keep the festival for her fiancé. "
Yuxi didn't hear this, so she knew that this girl really didn't plan to marry. For example, when Zisu said she would not marry before, it was only because she felt that men were unreliable, and because of her father's affairs, she had shadows in her heart, but that was only a verbal refusal to marry. But it is different if you swear a poisonous oath in front of the Bodhisattva. Yu Xi said: "Let her in!"
After a while, Ah Zhu came over. Ganglan's mother praised Azhu's handsome face, but in fact, Azhu's appearance is only average, her skin is not clear, and she is wearing snow-blue clothes, which make people look old-fashioned. Judging from her dress and expression, one could tell that this girl really planned to observe the festival for her dead fiancé.
Azhu knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Yuxi, and said, "Greetings to Madam." Qiu Shi knew that there was no useful big maid beside Yuxi, and she always wanted to find a prudent and proper person to send her over, but she was looking for someone like this It's hard for people. The northwest is a place of bitter cold, and there are years of wars. No one wants to go to a place where suffering and death may occur at any time. It happened that someone recommended A Zhu, Qiu Shi was not satisfied at first, but really couldn't choose a better person, and A Zhu vowed not to marry for the rest of his life, so he could serve Yuxi for the rest of his life.
Yu Xi leaned on the bed and asked: "Han Hao said that you came to the Northwest this time on your own initiative, is it true?"
A Zhu nodded and said: "Yes, if I stay at home, my parents will force me to marry sooner or later. Ma'am, I don't want to marry, I just want to guard Brother Yun." When we arrive in the northwest, there will be no more people Forced her to marry.
Yuxi looked at Azhu with sharp eyes, and said, "Is that true? Last time, almost all the people in the Duke's Mansion went in for a wedding. I believe no one in the Duke's Mansion knows how difficult the journey is. Are you not afraid of dying in the palace?" Are you on the way?" There are many ways to not want to get married, and you can become a nun if you become a nun. There is no need to travel thousands of miles to the northwest, let alone ask to come here. Ah Zhu asked to come to the northwest, this is what Qiu Shi said in the letter.
Azhu's face changed, and Yuxi directly said that she was harboring evil intentions: "Madam, this servant just thinks that the northwest is far away from the capital, and parents will not force..."
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Yuxi: "Do you think I will believe such a poor excuse? Actually, I believe that someone asked you to come to the northwest to serve me, and he will avenge your fiancé." Yuxi asked this, not to say that she didn't trust Azhu. It's just that she had doubts about Ah Zhu's initiative to ask, and that's why she didn't see her the next day.
After hearing this, A Zhu's face turned pale, but she still said calmly: "Madam, I don't hate the young master of the Jiang family. Brother Yun's death was accidental, and the young master of the Jiang family didn't mean it. The next day, they sent someone to the Fu family to make an apology, not only made Brother Yun's funeral a good one, but also took the initiative to compensate the Fu family with two hundred taels of silver." Two hundred taels of silver is enough to buy a lot of servants, I have to say Jiang This is done beautifully.
After Yuxi said that sentence, she kept staring at Azhu, and saw that although her face was pale, she was not afraid, and knew that she was telling the truth: "Then tell me, why did you ask to come here?" Northwest?" This is very puzzling.
Azhu said: "My parents want me to marry because they are worried that I will have no one to rely on when I am old. My wife is generous to those around me. As long as I follow my wife, even if I don't marry, I will have someone to rely on for the rest of my life. In this way, My parents won't worry about me in the future either." Yuxi is very generous to the people around her, such as Mother Fang and Nanny Quan, and the servants of the Han family are all aware of this.
Yuxi just wanted to test Azhu, after all, she and Yunqing were in a very dangerous situation, so she had to be cautious in everything, especially those who served her closely. Azhu's performance made Yuxi believe that she really has no dissent. Otherwise, it would be impossible to behave so calmly. At this moment, Yuxi's expression also softened: "You have a deep affection for that brother Yun."
A Zhu said: "My family and the Fu family used to be neighbors, and Brother Yun and I grew up together." After a pause, A Zhu said: "When I was seven years old, I had an accident. If it wasn't for Brother Yun Save me, I'm already dead."
Yuxi said: "From now on, you can change your name to Zhuye!"
Hearing this, Ah Zhu kowtowed and said, "Mrs. Xie." Changing her name to Zhuye meant she agreed to let her stay by her side to serve.
Yuxi looked at the clothes on A Zhu's body and said, "I won't stop you from keeping the festival, but the clothes shouldn't be too plain."
Not long after dark, Yunqing came back. As soon as I came back, I went into the house to see my daughter. Seeing Zaozao smiling at him, as if he had discovered a new world, he said to Yuxi: "Yuxi, look, Zaozao laughed at me!"
Yuxi smiled and said: "Yes, this child still kisses you, and laughs when he sees you." In fact, how could a newborn child know so much, but it was Yuxi who made Yunqing happy.
After hearing this, Yun Qing really had a smile on his face. Shiliu walked in and said, "General, the food is ready, dinner is ready."
After dinner, Yunqing came in again. The first thing he did when he entered the room was to pick up the sleeping Zao Zao and kiss him. Well, it’s better to be a girl, fragrant and soft.
Yuxi knew before that Yunqing liked her daughter, but she didn't expect to like her to this extent, which made her heart ache as a mother: "You should rest early, you still have a lot of things to do tomorrow!" Yucheng's Things were already complicated, and Yunqing had just taken over, so he must be busy for a while.
Thinking of all those things, Yun Qing also had a headache. There are so few people around him, it's not enough. But I need to find a helper, but where is it so easy to find a helper. It's just that Yunqing doesn't intend to tell Yuxi about these things, he just wants to let Yuxi sit through this confinement with peace of mind.
ps: I lost the chain again, covering my face. (to be continued)
