Chapter 226 Quarreling (Part 2)
Chapter 226 Quarrel()
At night, a bright moon hangs in the sky, and the bright moonlight shines on the earth.
Yu Xi stood in the yard, like a sculpture! Although it was expected that Yunqing would be very repulsive about this matter, but now Yunqing doesn't even go back to the backyard to eat, and she feels very uncomfortable. Who is she working so hard for? I also felt very wronged in my heart, and unconsciously my eye sockets were filled with a layer of mist.
Qu's mother couldn't bear to see her anymore, and said, "Ma'am, you'll catch a cold if you stay outside late at night, you'd better go inside!" The same is true for the general, Ma'am is pregnant, and she doesn't know where to go, He was also angry with his wife.
No matter how uncomfortable you feel in your heart, you can't make things difficult for your body. Furthermore, she is still pregnant with a child, so she cannot take medicine if she really catches a cold, and the child will suffer together with the adults. After listening to the persuasion, Yuxi turned around and entered the house.
When I entered the house, I couldn't read the book, didn't want to say a word, couldn't get up to do anything, and couldn't calm down. After thinking about it for a while, Yu Xi simply went into the study, picked up a pen and started to practice calligraphy.
Mother Qu asked Zi Jin in a low voice outside, "Why did the general and his wife quarrel?" The general was fine when he came back, and nothing special happened today. I don't know how the husband and wife quarreled. .
Zi Jin shook her head and said, "I don't know either! But the general is too narrow-minded, even if there is a quarrel, he shouldn't even come to eat dinner!" It was too petty, but she still thought he was a big man.
Mother Qu thought that it might not be a trivial matter.
After practicing calligraphy for more than half an hour, Yuxi's heart finally calmed down. Putting down the brush, walked out of the study, and said to Mother Qu, "Prepare water, I want to take a bath."
After taking a bath, Yuxi lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep. Yuxi ordered Zijin, and said, "Go and tell Mama Lan, bring Zaozao here."
At this time, Zao Zao had already fallen asleep. However, Mother Lan knew that Yuxi was in a special situation, so she didn't protest, and carried the sleeping Zaozao to the main room with a bright red cloak.
Yuxi had already expected that Zao Zao would fall asleep, but she just wanted to see Zao Zao now. Only by looking at her daughter can she be more determined in her mind.
Mother Lan said in a mosquito-like voice: "Madam, everything is easy to break, it's better to be gentle." In fact, Mother Lan always thought that Yuxi was too capable, and it might not be a good thing for this woman to be too capable.
Yuxi smiled bitterly and said: "This time it's not a trivial matter in the inner court, it's a major matter of life and death." It's not about the life and death of a person, but about the life and death of a family. However, there is no need to say this clearly.
Mother Lan originally planned to persuade Yuxi with a lot of words, but when she heard about the relationship between life and death, she didn't dare to say a word: "Then madam, go to bed early!"
Yuxi couldn't sleep for a while, and said: "Mother Lan, you have stayed in the Han family for so many years, you should have seen my mother!" The mother Yuxi said refers to her biological mother Ning. In fact, Yuxi has basically no impression of her biological mother in her two lifetimes. It's just that now that I'm a mother, I miss my biological mother too.
After all, so many years have passed, and Ning's presence in the Han family is not very strong, so many things about Mother Lan are blurred. After thinking for a while, Mother Lan said: "The third old lady is a very submissive person." Speaking of which, Mother Lan felt a little emotional. The third old lady Ning was too soft, but the wife was too strong .
Yu Xi murmured: "Submissive?" A woman who is too submissive is actually weak. She was too weak in her previous life, but in the end she was crushed and flattened by the Jiang family, who didn't treat her as a human being, and ended up dying without a place to bury her.
Mother Lan also saw that Yuxi was not sleepy anymore, so she told Yuxi the anecdote she had heard, and tried to make Yuxi happy. Mother Blue's voice is generous and pleasant, like a lullaby. After listening to it for a long time, Yu Xi felt a little sleepy.
He squinted his eyes and fell asleep.
When Mother Lan left the house, she saw Zijin waiting in the yard.
Zijin stepped forward and whispered: "How is Madam?" It was the first time she saw her master insomnia because of his worries.
Mother Lan said, "I've already fallen asleep."
In fact, Yun Qing didn't rest, he just stayed in the study. In the middle of the night, without any sleepiness, he practiced sword in the yard.
Xu Wu had already heard about the quarrel between the husband and wife. When Yun Qing finished practicing a set of sword skills, Xu Wu deliberately said: "General, I heard from Zi Jin that Madam only drank a bowl of mutton milk at night, and didn't eat anything else."
There is still one pregnant in this belly, how can I bear it without eating. Yunqing said with a cold face: "Nonsense, don't the people around you know how to persuade?" After saying this, Yunqing stood up and was ready to go out. But when he reached the door, he stopped again.
Xu Wu asked: "General, why are you arguing with Madam?" Madam is a very reasonable person, and his general loves his wife too, so the quarrel between the two is definitely not a trivial matter.
Seeing that Yunqing didn't speak for a long time, Xu Wu said: "General, if it's about housework, let the lady go, the lady is still pregnant with the child!" In fact, Xu Wu felt that Yuxi was very reasonable and would not make trouble for no reason. This time, it can't be a family matter.
Yun Qing was also worried, and it happened that Xu Wu was trustworthy, and said: "It's not a family matter. Ji Xuan is now suppressing bandits, and there are natural disasters in the south of the Yangtze River that reduce food production, and there will be a massacre in the Northwest. My wife said that if the Northwest rises, , I can take the opportunity to send troops to control Shaanxi and Gansu provinces. To control Shaanxi and Gansu provinces without dispatching troops is not the same as rebellion!" It is tantamount to occupying the two provinces of Shaanxi and Gansu as kings.
After Xu Wu finished listening, his eyes almost popped out. He guessed that the quarrel between the two must not be about a small matter, but he didn't expect it to be such a big matter. However, Xu Wu has a lot of contact with Yuxi, and knows that Yuxi will not say these words for no reason: "General, why did Madam let you take this opportunity to send troops to control Shaanxi and Gansu provinces?" Madam must have a reason for saying these words .
This is not something that can be explained in a sentence or two. Yun Qing would feel very tired, so he didn't want to talk much. In fact, Yun Qing also knew that what Yu Xi said was right, but he couldn't do what Yu Xi said. He didn't want to be a traitor and a traitor, and he didn't want to bear the eternal infamy: "I'll tell you about this matter later."
Xu Wu almost vomited blood, what do you mean by saying half and half? But looking at Yunqing's expression, he wisely stopped asking. Xu Wu said: "General, it's late, you should also rest, there are still a lot of things to do tomorrow!"
Yun Qing said: "Go and see if Madam has rested?" After all, she was still worried. In fact, Yunqing knew that Yuxi's words were reasonable, but he couldn't pass his own test.
When Xu Wu heard this, he knew something was wrong. He has been by Yunqing's side for more than ten years, yet he still doesn't know Yunqing's temperament. If Madam did not have a good reason for the General to send troops to control the Northwest, the General would not be entangled here, but directly turned against Madam. Xu Wu hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll go and ask."
After a while, Xu Wu came back and said: "Mother Lan persuaded Madam for a long time before letting Madam lie down." As for whether she fell asleep, it is not clear.
Yun Qing thought for a while, but still didn't go back to the backyard. In case Yuxi fell asleep, he would wake Yuxi up in the past. Originally, he wanted to go back to the backyard the next morning to discuss this matter with Yuxi, to see if he could find a way to get the best of both worlds. As a result, something happened in the barracks, so he went to the barracks.
Yuxi doesn't have much appetite, but now one person eats for two people, so it's impossible not to eat. I ate a bowl of japonica rice porridge, a boiled egg, and a sugar bun without taste.
Just finished breakfast, Shiliu walked in and said: "Madam, Xu Huwei is asking to see Madam." After a pause, he said: "Madam, I see Xu Huwei's worried face."
Yuxi nodded and said, "Let him in."
Xu Wu came in, looked at several maidservants in the main hall, bowed to Yu Xi, and said, "Madam, I have something to say to Madam."
Yuxi said to Mother Qu: "You all go down!" After everyone went out, she asked Zijin to guard the door, and then went into the study. When they arrived at the study, Yu Xi asked Xu Wu, and said, "If you have anything to say, you can say it now."
Xu Wu lowered his voice and said: "The general told me yesterday that Madam wants the general to send troops to control Shaanxi and Gansu provinces. Madam, may I know why Madam has such an idea?
Yuxi repeated what she said to Yunqing before, and said: "If it wasn't for the dangerous situation, why would I be willing to let him do such a despised thing? It's just that reputation is important, but the lives of the whole family are more important .” Yunqing bears the infamy, so it’s impossible for her to have a good reputation.
Yun Qing was extremely shocked. He was not surprised that the tragedy in Tongcheng was caused by the Song family colluding with Donghu people, because it had been rumored for a long time. But the emperor is also involved, that's unbelievable: "The emperor is also involved?"
Yuxi nodded and said: "Well, the emperor is involved. How can such an emperor be reliable if he can even do treasonous things. Instead of being in danger later, it is better to take the initiative early and let the emperor and the Song family and others Don’t dare to act rashly against us.” If the emperor takes power, both the Yu family and the Song family will be wiped out. Of course, the premise is that he can take power. Yuxi felt that it was impossible for the emperor, who was eager for quick success and instant benefits, to fight against such a cunning old man like Xiang.
Xu Wu said: "Such a person is not worthy of being the king of a country at all, and he is not worthy of our loyalty." More than 100,000 people in Tongcheng died because of these people fighting for power and profit. It is really hateful.
Yuxi agrees with this very much. For example, in his previous life, when he respected the king and was the emperor, he knew how to be patient and acted cautiously, because at that time there were no big bastards showing up. However, according to the current situation, in fact, the court was also precarious at that time. After the flood in the south of the Yangtze River happened, it was out of ten that the whole world would be destroyed.
Xu Wu thought for a while and said: "Ma'am, the general is quite stubborn, I think it's best to let the adoptive father persuade him about this matter. As long as the adoptive father is reasonable, the general will listen to it."
Yuxi thought this suggestion was very good, and said: "I have told Uncle Huo about these things before, and Uncle Huo agreed with me, but he didn't dare to tell the general when the time was not ripe." Now the time is ripe.
Xu Wu's expression relaxed when he heard this, in this case, things will be easy to handle. In fact, Xu Wu also agrees with Yuxi's point of view, to take the initiative early, so that he will not be slaughtered in the future. (to be continued)
