Chapter 461 Confession (2)

Jiang Hongfu waited in the living room of the front yard for less than half an hour, but no one came, and there was no trace of impatience on his face. None of the people around him showed dissatisfaction.

The servant girl stepped forward to refill the tea, then stepped back.

Before Jiang Hongfu picked up the teacup, a maid came in and said, "Master Jiang, the concubine is here to invite you." Yu Xi discussed matters with others in the study.

When he arrived at the study, Jiang Hongfu saluted Yuxi.

Standing in front of the table, Yu Xi pressed the unicorn paperweight on the rice paper, and asked, "Why are you looking for me?" Yu Xi also asked knowingly.

Jiang Hongfu said: "Biao sister-in-law, this time I'm here to tell my cousin about Ye Guangqin." Talking to a smart person like Han, going around in circles, may end up getting me involved.

Yuxi said: "The prince told me about Ye Guangqin after he knew about it, you must not know about it, so you don't need to explain to me. If you have anything to say, you can tell the prince directly." Regarding Jiang Hongfu's explanation, Yuxi not interested. Explanation is just a sign of guilty conscience.

Jiang Hongfu shook his head and said: "No, I know about Ye Guangqin." Seeing Yuxi looking up at him, Jiang Hongfu said frankly: "Ye Guangqin is not my master, he is someone sent to me by the imperial court." Hongfu's master, surnamed Hao, is also from Jiangnan, the son of his grandfather's friend, and he is very reliable.

Yuxi's expression was very indifferent: "Who is Ye Guangqin?" This is a tough guy, even Huo Changqing is useless. Yuxi felt a little pity, if she could pry this person's mouth open, she would definitely get a lot of useful information.

Jiang Hongfu shook his head and said: "I only know that he is a secret agent of the imperial court, and I don't know his identity." In order not to arouse suspicion, he didn't even bring Mr. Hao. Fortunately, Mr. Gao was here during this time and helped him share a lot of things. Otherwise, he would be exhausted.

Yuxi asked: "Didn't you say that your wife and children were sent back to the south of the Yangtze River? What did the people behind the scenes catch and asked you to work for him?"

When Jiang Hongfu heard this, he felt greatly humiliated: "I didn't sacrifice my life for them. Although Ye Guangqin came to the northwest with me, he has nothing to do with me."

Yu Xi chuckled and said: "If you really want to go to the northwest, you should tell us about it on the first day, instead of coming to tell us about it after Ye Guangqin was arrested."

Jiang Hongfu smiled wryly and said: "I have no choice. They arrested my wife and children to threaten me. I have to compromise. However, I never thought of harming my cousin. Please believe that."

Yuxi showed a sarcasm smile: "You can tell the prince about this!" There is a difference between closeness and closeness, and brothers who haven't seen for more than ten years are nothing compared to their wives and children. That is to say, Yunqing still remembers the relationship she had back then, otherwise she would never tolerate Jiang Hongfu. Now that Yan Wushuang is in power, Yun Qing has also taken precautions, so she doesn't need to pretend to be a snake with the court anymore.

Before Jiang Hongfu came, he knew that it would not be easy to convince the Han family: "I don't know what the princess will do before you believe me?"

Yuxi said indifferently: "If you want me to believe, you have to come up with something that makes me believe in you, not a few empty words." To surrender, you have to submit a certificate!

When I was in Yun Mansion last time, Han Shi looked no different from other mistresses, she was a woman who was a virtuous housewife. Today's Han family is her true face. However, this is normal. Otherwise, how could it hold down so many people.

Jiang Hongfu shook his head and said, "Ye Guangqin was sent by the court. The reason why he was arrested this time should be related to the changes in the capital." The emperor died, and Ye Guangqin, the court's spy, couldn't sit still. It was also for this reason that Ye Guangqin was arrested.

Yuxi asked: "What else?"

Jiang Hongfu shook his head and said, "Although they threatened me with their wife and children, I really didn't do anything for them.

And when I arrived in the northwest, seeing the changes here, I also wanted to contribute. "Jiang Hongfu said this with sincerity.

Yuxi said: "If one day, the people behind the scenes use your wife and children to force you to murder the prince, what will you do?"

Without even thinking about it, Jiang Hongfu said, "If it wasn't for my grandfather, I would have been murdered by Mrs. Yu long ago. I wouldn't have hurt my cousin even if the people behind the scenes tried to persecute me."

Yuxi said: "If you want me to believe it, it's actually not difficult. Your father is now the secretary of the household department, and some things will sound easier for you to talk to than us."

Jiang Hongfu paused, but still nodded and said: "My father probably won't tell me too many things, but I will try my best to do something that is beneficial to the Northwest."

Yuxi nodded and said: "I believe you for the time being. But if you dare to murder the prince in the future, or take the opportunity to do anything that damages the Northwest, I will not only let you and your wife and children die without a body, I will also The entire Jiang family will be buried with him." This is a warning and a threat.

Jiang Hongfu was shocked by Yu Xi's momentum. After a while, Jiang Hongfu smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, that day won't happen." He had no doubt that if he dared to do such a thing, the Han family would really destroy the entire Jiang family.

After talking about private matters, it's time to talk about business matters. Dams in Tongzhou have been completed and several canals are nearing completion.

Jiang [UU Reading 00kxs] Hongfu said to Yuxi: "Many places in Tongzhou have high terrain, and the high-lying fields cannot be irrigated by the built canals. Princess, I have an idea. If it succeeds, I can solve this problem. problem."

Yuxi immediately became interested and said, "Tell me your thoughts." If Jiang Hongfu can really make good suggestions for people and things, she will definitely adopt them.

Jiang Hongfu expressed his thoughts. In fact, the idea is also very simple, that is, Jiang Hongfu wants to develop a tool to lead water from a low place to a high place.

Yu Xi didn't ask Jiang Hongfu how this idea came about, but said, "How sure are you?" If such a tool can be made, it must be a great thing for the people. But just listening to it, I feel that it is not easy.

Jiang Hongfu nodded and said, "Sixty percent." Jiang Hongfu wanted to tell Yuxi about this matter, but he hoped that Yuxi could allocate some money to him. Without money, any idea is useless.

As long as it is a good thing for the benefit of the people, Yuxi will not refuse: "You write a specific charter." As long as it is practical and feasible, and it is not a wild idea, she will support it.

Jiang Hongfu was a little surprised by Yuxi's straightforwardness. But think about it, if the Han family didn't even have this bit of courage, they wouldn't be able to restrain the people below.

Back in the backyard, Yuxi changed her clothes and did her hair.

Sister Quan looked at Yu Xi who was wearing new clothes, and said with a smile: "It looks good when you dress up like this!" Usually in the mansion, she is either dressed too strictly or too casually.

I saw Yuxi wearing a blue summer shirt, with a moon white waist, and a bright red floral skirt covered in gold, this color combination is very outstanding. Yuxi is only twenty-one years old this year, and it is the time when she is at her best, and this kind of dress looks even more attractive.

Yu Xi smiled and said: "On weekdays, I have to discuss matters with the people below, so it's not appropriate to dress like this." In the front yard, Yu Xi was wearing imposing clothes. In the backyard, Yu Xi wore comfortable home clothes, and rarely wore such brightly colored clothes.

Just as he was about to go out, Yunqing came back. Seeing Yu Xi's clothes, Yun Qing smiled and said: "Is this going to visit mother-in-law?" Yu Xi took the two children out so late, it must be to Han Mansion.

Yu Xi nodded and said: "Mother misses Zao Zao and Liu Er, so I took them to the Han Mansion for dinner." In a normal family, this married girl will not go back to her mother's house every month. Yuxi, on the other hand, has no elders to control her, and she is in charge of her own affairs, so she will not be restrained in her actions.

Yun Qing hugged Zao Zao from Hong Dou's hand, and said: "Let's go together!" Ever since Qiu Shi came to Pick City, their family would go to Han Mansion for dinner at least once a month, Yun Qing was used to it.

Seeing this, Yuxi said: "Your cousin is here, because of Ye Guangqin's affairs." Whether to go to Han's house or to accompany Jiang Hongfu is up to Yunqing.

Yun Qing paused for a moment, then said after a while: "I'll see him when I come back after dinner." Mother-in-law is the elder, and Jiang Hongfu is the junior, so naturally he has to stay behind.

Yuxi hummed and said: "He Rui, it's better to clarify some things in person. If you have a lump in your heart, if you don't speak clearly, it will hurt your feelings even more."

Yun Qing didn't want to talk about this topic, and said, "I'll take care of this matter." He only had such a family member left, and he really didn't want to go to the point of turning against each other.

Seeing this, Yu Xi didn't say anything anymore.

When Zaozao entered the room and saw Qiu Shi, she shouted loudly: "Grandmother is good." Zazao will be three years old in two days, and then she will have to be taught by Huo Changqing. So in the past two days, Yuxi didn't hold back Zao Zao, and let her play.

Qiu Shi held Zao Zao in his arms with a smile on his face, and said: "Zao Zao is a really good-looking child, and he looks different every day." Maybe it's because Qiu Shi likes children more and more as he gets older. In these days, they often talked about bringing Hua Geer's children to the Northwest, making Han Jianming one head and two older children.

Zao Zao said loudly: "Grandmother is also growing very well."

As soon as these words fell, everyone suddenly laughed. Qiu couldn't help laughing, touched Zao Zao's head and said: "Grandmother is already so old, it doesn't matter if she doesn't look good."

Ye Shi came in from the outside and said, "Mother, the food is ready and ready to use." After more than half a year of recuperation, Ye Shi's health is almost healed.

In the northwest, there are not as many rules as in the capital. The whole family sits and eats together, and there is no separate table for men and women.

At the dinner table, Yun Qing was the first to finish eating. The habits developed over the past twenty years cannot be changed just by changing them. When Qiu's group went to the northwest, everyone ate together. Both Qiu and Ye were stunned by Yunqing's eating speed, but they are used to it now.

After dinner, Yuxi wanted to stay and talk to Qiu Shi, so she said to Yunqing: "You take Zao Zao back!"

Yun Qing went back with Zao Zao. (to be continued)
