Chapter 442: Misunderstanding
Yun Qing told Xu Wu, "Go and summon Yang Duoming, I have something to ask him."
Xu Wu shook his head and said: "My lord, Yang Duoming won't be able to come. Yesterday, the concubine ordered Yang Duoming to be beaten with 20 army sticks, so he will definitely not be able to get out of bed."
Yun Qing went back to the backyard with a look of surprise, and asked Yu Xi who was making clothes: "I just heard from Xu Wu that you had someone beat Yang Duoming with twenty army sticks?" Yu Xi only said that Yang Duoming was there yesterday One afternoon, he came to report the matter, but he didn't say that he punished Yang Duoming.
Yuxi put it on the needle and thread, and then rubbed her eyes: "Because he negligently revealed his identity, so I punished him. If he is so careless again, he may lose his life."
Yun Qing didn't say anything about it: "I just heard from my cousin that Yang Duoming not only killed Jiang Xiaoer's offspring, but also disfigured Jiang Hongjin? Did he tell you how Jiang Xiaoer offended him?" Although he said Jiang Hongjin was disgusting, but such a move was a bit too much.
Yu Xi was surprised: "Jiang Xiaoer?" In fact, Yu Xi knew in her heart that the Jiang Xiaoer mentioned was actually Jiang Hongjin, but she didn't know who got the nickname.
Yun Qing said with a smile: "He ranks second in Jiang's family, so I always call him Jiang Xiaoer. Besides, he also has a nickname called Hua Peacock."
"Puchi..." Yu Xi couldn't help laughing out loud: "Peacock Flower? Why did you give him such a nickname?"
A smile appeared on Yun Qing's face as he recalled the events of his childhood: "When Jiang Hongjin looked at people, he always raised his head high, and a boy was dressed in colorful clothes, like a peacock."
Jiang Hongjin doesn't like Yunqing, and thinks Yunqing is vulgar. And Yun Qing also didn't like Jiang Hongjin, not only was he a motherly lady, but he always acted condescendingly, which turned people off if he let him go.
Yuxi is such a perceptive person, she asked, "You don't like Jiang Hongjin?" It's fine if you don't like it, and Yunqing will help to deal with the aftermath without her saying anything.
Yun Qing hummed and said: "It's just that I read a few more books, as if he is a class above me, and I'm bored when I see it." Made quite a few friends. But Jiang Hongjin had always been the one he refused to associate with.
Yuxi didn't expect Yunqing to hate Jiang Hongjin, which was a good thing for her. Yuxi weighed it in her heart and said: "It's not Jiang Hongjin's fault, it's also caused by the system in the court." Even at the same level, the status of civil servants is higher than that of military commanders. To put it bluntly, it was made by the emperor's emphasis on civility over martial arts.
Yun Qing was a little bored, and said: "When I was young, I didn't understand that those civil servants were just playing lip service and writing articles. Why are their status higher than those military generals who threw their heads and blood, and why should they be respected?"
Yuxi naturally knew the reason. Those in power deliberately elevate the status of civil servants and suppress military generals, which is actually limiting the power in the hands of military generals. Because generals have military power in their hands, it is easy to lose control once they feel disobedient. As for civil servants, even rebellion is easy to extinguish, and relatively speaking, the harm is much smaller. But Yuxi didn't plan to say these words, because it was unnecessary.
Yuxi asked: "You just said you wanted to see Yang Duoming? Why, do you think Yang Duoming did this?"
Yun Qing was indeed so skeptical at first, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong. Yang Duoming was ordered by Yuxi to run an errand, so it is impossible to cause any deep hatred with Jiang Hongjin: "Probably not, but Yan Xi is his subordinate, so this city must have something to do with him."
Yuxi shook her head and said: "The matter between Yang Duoming and Jiang Hongjin should have nothing to do with it. Otherwise, he told me yesterday, I think this matter may be a misunderstanding."
A lie needs to be covered by countless lies. Yuxi decided that after this matter was over, she would not do other things without telling Yunqing. Telling lies is more tiring than dealing with government affairs. And she felt a little guilty for lying to Yunqing.
But even if she feels guilty, Yuxi is not ready to tell Yunqing the truth of the matter. This matter is too shocking, whether Yun Qing believes it or not, there will be endless troubles. The days are going well now, and she doesn't want to make trouble anymore.
Yun Qing nodded and said: "I also think there may be something else wrong with this matter. So let Gao Song ask Yang Duoming to see what's going on?"
Yu Xi nodded her head and said: "Of course it's all right." After a pause, Yu Xi asked about the previous affairs of the Yun family: "He Rui, I don't know much about the Yun family, you will discuss it with me today. Let's talk about it!" It's also because all the members of the Yun family are gone, Yun Qing didn't dare to ask Yu Xi if he took the initiative not to talk about it, for fear that it would make Yun Qing sad.
Yun Qing roughly told Yu Xi about the situation of Xia Yun's family in detail. Mr. Yun is an orphan, an orphan who even forgot his own parents. So apart from the three generations of grandparents, there are no other relatives in the family. It is very simple: "Originally, the grandfather wanted to adopt the third brother to the second uncle..." Unexpectedly, before the adoption, something happened in Tongcheng.
After hearing this, Yuxi asked strangely: "Why did my aunt marry Jiang Wenrui back then?" Scholars generally would not marry a girl from the family of a general. Especially a century-old scholarly family like the Jiang family attaches great importance to family status. If it wasn't for a reason, even if Jiang Wenrui fell in love with Yun Qing's aunt, the elders of the Jiang family would not agree.
Yun Qing said: "It seems that my aunt's biological father is kind to Jiang Wenrui, and I don't know the details. I only know that my aunt was pregnant with her cousin not long after she married into Jiang's family, but she encountered dystocia during childbirth. He left shortly after he was born."
Yuxi couldn't bear the conspiracy theory. Girls from the military commander's family are generally healthy and healthy, and it's much easier to give birth when they are healthy. I don't know what's going on here! Yuxi asked: "How is your aunt's health?"
Yun Qing shook his head and said: "It's not very good, I heard that I lost my foundation when I was young." After finishing speaking, Yun Qing explained to Yu Xi: "My aunt is not my grandpa's direct daughter, but the daughter of his sworn brother. Little When she was abused by her grandparents, she was in poor health. Later, my grandfather took her to the capital and invited a doctor to recuperate her body, but her body was still weak."
Yuxi didn't think about it any more. When a woman in poor health gives birth to a child, it is a door to hell. Since Jiang Hongfu's biological mother was not in good health, it was indeed easy to have dystocia.
Yun Qing continued: "Although my aunt passed away relatively early, my uncle loved my cousin very much. Even after marrying Mrs. Yu, my uncle still loved him very much. It didn't happen as the rumors said. With A stepmother has a stepfather."
Yu Xi smiled, and said, "That's your cousin's blessing." Yu Xi guessed that Jiang Wenrui was too kind to the eldest son, which made Yu feel a sense of crisis. With the Yun family here, Mrs. Yu had scruples and dared not do anything to Jiang Hongfu. When the Yun family collapsed, Yu couldn't bear it any longer.
In fact, it was indeed as Yu Xi expected. Because Jiang Hongfu was brought up by Jiang Wenrui, the relationship between father and son is extremely deep. When Yu Shi didn't give birth to a son, he greeted Jiang Hongfu, but unfortunately Jiang Hongfu didn't buy it.
Yu Shi was angry, but she didn't dare to be presumptuous. In order to gain a firm foothold in the Jiang family, she could only please Jiang Hongfu even more. However, Mr. Yu is a very vigilant person. After knowing what Yu Shi did, he immediately took Jiang Hongfu to Yun's house to live for a while. After Jiang Hongfu went back, he forced Yu Shi to go, and he didn't buy her attention anymore.
Grandpa Yun was afraid that his grandson would suffer, so he took him to live in Yunfu every now and then, and Yu's plan came to nothing. But in this way, it cultivated the feelings of cousins. Let Jiang Hongfu and Yunqing be like brothers.
After the Yu family left Jiang Hongjin, Jiang Hongfu couldn't be tolerated anymore. With Jiang Hongfu around, her son would have to bow his head in every way, and this was definitely not what she wanted to see. It's a pity that Mr. Yun took great precautions against her and also protected Jiang Hongfu very well, so Mrs. Yu couldn't find a chance to strike.
When the Yun family collapsed, the Yu family carefully designed to get rid of Jiang Hongfu. In the previous life, the Yu family's scheme succeeded, and it was precisely because of Jiang Hongfu that Jiang Wenrui lost Jiang Hongfu that he devoted all his energy to cultivating Jiang Hongjin, making Jiang Hongjin the youngest number one scholar in the Great Zhou Dynasty. And in this life, because Yuxi intervened to save Jiang Hongfu's life, the life of Yu Shi and Jiang Hongjin was not easy. When Jiang Hongjin took the exam, he didn't even get into the first class.
Yun Qing said: "You see, mother and elder brother love you very much! Well, the cousin is gone." This is also comforting Yu Xi. Although Jiang Hongfu lost his mother, he lived a much more comfortable life than Yuxi.
Yuxi smiled and said, "It's just a casual talk."
Gao Song found Yang Duoming and asked him if he knew Jiang Hongjin. Yang Duoming had been reminded by Yuxi before, this time when Gao Song came to question him, he immediately said: "I know there is such a person. This person is the Zhizhou of Luoyang City, and he is also the son of the Minister of the Household Department."
Gao Song nodded and said: "Then do you two have any enmity?" Seeing Yang Duoming shaking his head, Gao Song asked: "Have you really never had any enmity?"
Yang Duoming said firmly: "I don't even know him, so where is the hatred? There may be some misunderstanding!"
Gao Song asked Yan Xi again and got the same answer. Gao Song didn't stay long, and returned to Yunfu soon.
Yang Duoming said to Yan Xi: "Pour me a glass of water." Twenty sticks, even if you use the best wound medicine, it won't heal in half a month.
Yang Duoming drank half a glass of water and went back on his stomach. The ass is blooming, and it hurts like hell when I move it a little bit. And these days, he can only eat liquid food, not dry food, otherwise he will suffer again.
Yan Xi felt uncomfortable seeing Yang Duoming like this: "Brother, the concubine's attack is too ruthless." There was dissatisfaction in his words.
Yang Duoming frowned and said: "We messed up this job, and the princess should punish me. Yan Xi, let's stop talking about this matter. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a matter of twenty sticks. "If you annoy the princess, you may lose your life by then.
Thinking of Yuxi's method, Yan Xi shivered: "Don't say it, I won't say it again." He doesn't want to become a eunuch, so he should listen to his elder brother honestly!
Yang Duoming nodded and said: "These days, I will leave the outside affairs to Ah Mao, you don't go out. When I recover from my injury, you can leave Pickaxe City with me." In case of being touched by Jiang Hongfu's people Yes, it is also a big trouble.
Yan Xi nodded. (to be continued)
