Chapter 243: Hidden Dangers
Yuxi regained his composure after a long time: "Didn't Xinrong be rescued by someone, why did she appear in the Qinglou?" This made Yuxi unable to understand. http:///
Han Jianming shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. However, it was a very large force that rescued Duan Xinrong, but the people behind the scenes were too deeply hidden, and I couldn't find out. ”
Yuxi frowned and said, "Judging by this person's behavior, he should have a grudge against the Song family and the Nine Emperor Princes." And he has built such a big force, which is definitely not an ordinary person. Thinking of this, Yuxi's mind flashed: "Big brother, do you think it will be someone from the Yan family?" Yuxi would think of the people of the Yan family, also because it was a little strange that the Yan family was so frivolous that the family was ruined. You must know that the Yan family is also a century-old family, although most of the younger generations are not very competitive, but they are not incapable of outstanding people. For example, Yan Wushuang has outstanding qualifications.
Han Jianming was silent for a while and said, "What you said is not possible. It's just that there is no evidence for this matter, and there is no way to conclude that it is from the Yan family. ”
Yuxi didn't dwell on this for too long, but told Han Jianming about what Grandma Quan had told her before: "Big brother, Mama said that the drought in Shaanxi is particularly strict, why is there no news here in the capital? The only possibility is that there is no drought in Shaanxi at all.
Han Jianming said: "Shaanxi is indeed drought, and the situation is relatively strict. ”
Yuxi felt incredible: "Why is there no wind outside for such a big matter?" Also, why don't you provide disaster relief?" Yuxi didn't come to inquire for the first time that day, also because this matter was not directly related to her. Coupled with the calm outside, she also felt that the situation should be better. But now after listening to Han Jianming's words, she was a little shocked.
Han Jianming said: "The news in the capital has been suppressed, so the bad news outside has not been circulated. As for the disaster relief you mentioned, the treasury has no money, so what can you do for disaster relief?"
Yuxi felt that she had heard a particularly funny news: "A few days ago, I heard that the Ministry of Industry is preparing to overhaul the emperor's courtyard in Xishan, and it will cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to repair the North Garden! Also, the birthday banquet of the concubine is also coming soon." I've heard that the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs have already started to prepare and buy a lot of things. How come there is money to repair the temple for birthdays, but there is no money for disaster relief?"
A sneer appeared on Han Jianming's face: "The emperor built another courtyard and the birthday banquet of the noble concubine, and the household department had to make money if he didn't have money." "As for the victims in Shaanxi and Gansu, who cares!
Yuxi didn't know what to say at this moment.
Han Jianming still felt that this news was not exciting enough, so he threw down a bomb and said: "Not only is there no money for disaster relief, but even the soldiers' salaries, food and grass are not enough. The soldiers in eastern and northwest Liaodong have not received their salaries for three months. ”
"Uh......" has money to spend all day drinking and enjoying comfort, but has no money to pay military salaries for disaster relief. Well, Yuxi really knelt for the emperor and the important ministers of the court at this time.
Han Jianming looked at Yuxi and was not nervous, and asked, "You're not afraid?"
Yu Xicai was not afraid, and said: "What's the use of being afraid? Besides, even if the world is really in chaos, the capital is the last place to be affected." Besides, there is the eldest brother and the second brother, I am not worried. ”
Han Jianming smiled: "Don't worry, although the current chaos is not very peaceful, the imperial court can still control the situation for the time being." "When the situation can't be controlled, it's time for chaos in the world.
Yuxi frowned: "The Chen family is the emperor's henchmen. If the world is in chaos, will the Chen family have to be involved in the whirlpool?"
Seeing that Yuxi was finally worried, Han Jianming smiled and said, "Don't worry. The Chen family has a deep background, even if the world is in chaos, they also have the means to protect themselves. "The Chen family has been in existence for more than 200 years, and it has its own unique way of survival.
Yuxi smiled bitterly: "I have nothing to worry about. It's just that the world is in turmoil, and it's the common people who suffer. ”
Han Jianming lowered his voice and said, "This is just the worst situation. The Nine Emperors have good abilities, maybe they can turn things around!" "As long as the successor is a Ming monarch, it will not necessarily be a big mess in the world.
Yuxi remembered the events of her previous life, after the Ten Princes took the throne, they began to reduce the taxes of the people, although she didn't know what the specific effect was, but at least it proved that the Ten Princes wanted to govern the country well: "How can the Nine Emperors do it be Mingjun." Also, how could that force in the shadows let him ascend to the throne?" Even if the Nine Emperor Princes were still young, a twelve-year-old child had already reached the age of distinguishing right from wrong. Betraying the country for its own interests is enough to see that this is a person who has no principles and bottom line. Such a person expects her to become a Ming Jun, and there is little hope.
Han Jianming still didn't say a word, that is, the Nine Emperors could not let the Ten Princes ascend to the throne. If the Ten Princes ascend to the throne, the Han family will get the greatest benefit. It's just that Han Jianming didn't say these words to Yuxi: "I heard that you haven't read medical books recently?"
Yuxi said helplessly: "There is not enough time. The daily schedule is so tight, where is there time to read medical books. "Not having time is just an excuse, the main thing is that her marriage is settled. In the future, if you marry into the Chen family, you won't need medical skills, and Yuxi is a pragmatist. If you can't use things after learning them, you don't want to spend any more time. As for the history books, she thought it was very interesting, and there were only benefits and no disadvantages to reading too much of this thing, so she insisted on reading it.
Han Jianming said with a smile: "I don't have time to read, I have time to do embroidery? When will I give my eldest brother a fan?" Han Jianming was ridiculing Yuxi when he said this.
Yuxi was a little embarrassed, she had always felt that doing needlework was quite time-consuming, so she made very few things. For so many years, I haven't given Han Jianming a decent gift: "What does my eldest brother like? ”
Han Jianming was just joking, where did he really want Yuxi's embroidery: "I don't need it." But in less than two years, you'll be married. It's time for your dowry to start preparing. "Yuxi needlework is good, and now most of the people in the capital have heard about it. Therefore, her wedding dress and hijab have to be embroidered by herself, and she can't fake her hands on others, otherwise, she will be nakedly slapping herself in the face.
Yuxi thought all the way back to Tao Ranju. When I returned to the yard, I didn't see Shiso, and asked, "Where are the Shiso people?"
During the peach hunting period, Ai Aidi said: "Sister Shisu is in the room. ”
Yuxi didn't think much about it, just said, "Are you tired and resting in the room, or are you not feeling well?" Zisu is very diligent on weekdays, and even if he is fine, he will not stay in the house.
Xun Tao didn't know what to say.
Yuxi looked at it and was wrong: "What's the matter? Could it be that someone bullied Zisu?" Yuxi's status is rising, and the maids around him are naturally rising. The people in the mansion, Yuxi really can't think of anyone who will bully Shisu.
Xun Tao lowered her head and said, "Girl, I don't know what it is, Caidie should know about this." Xun Tao is not shirking, but she really doesn't know what's going on. I only knew that Caidie came back from outside and said a few words to Shisu, and Shisu entered the house with an ugly face.
Yuxi's face was not very good-looking, and said, "Call Caidie to the study." "Yuxi likes to talk in the study.
It didn't take long for the butterfly to come over. Seeing Yuxi's questioning, she didn't hide it, and said, "Girl, my mother told me that Wan Jialang was a little entangled with his aunt's cousin. "Cai Dieniang is also an old man in the mansion, plus she is popular, and she is more well-informed. She heard that Wan Jiahua and her cousin were torn apart, and she was afraid that Zisu would suffer, so she quickly called Caidie over and told her the news.
Yuxi knew that Caidieniang was a proper person, and if she wasn't very sure, she wouldn't let Caidie tell her about it: "You told Zisu about this?"
Caidie nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Yuxi didn't feel deeply about this, and she was not very optimistic about Wan Jiahua. Moreover, there was no marriage, and the other party was entangled with other women, so she was removed from the list: "Mother Fang wants to hire you to her eldest son, do you know this?"
Caidie's face turned red, and she lowered her head and said, "My mother told me two days ago. Cai Dieniang didn't agree, she was not familiar with Lian's family at all, so she would rashly agree to the marriage. These days, she has been asking people to inquire about the affairs of the Lian family. I understood it clearly, and I felt that even the conditions of the family were good in all aspects, so I asked Caidie what it meant.
Yuxi said, "What's your idea?"
Caidie was so ashamed that she lowered her head and said, "The slaves and maids all listen to the girl." "She has even seen Jia Lang a few times, and he is a good Zhou Zheng. Instead of marrying someone you don't know, it's better to marry someone who knows the roots.
Yuxi smiled: "This is a lifelong event, and you still have to be satisfied." If you agree, I'll tell you to go. If you don't agree, just reject it. ”
Caidie replied softly.
Yuxi waved his hand and said, "Go and call Zisu to come over." ”
Seeing that Zisu's eyes were red, Yuxi said with a smile: "It's just that I've met twice, and I haven't decided to marry, what are you sad about?"
Zi Su called out very aggrievedly: "Girl, ......" Zi Su thought that Yuxi would comfort her, but she didn't expect to bury her as soon as she came up, which was really sad.
Yuxi smiled: "Zisu, being loyal doesn't necessarily mean being honest. In this world, there are many wolves in sheep's clothing. It would be better to know his true face earlier. Anyway, I didn't settle on a marriage, and it didn't affect your reputation. "Yuxi didn't look down on Wan Jiahua in the first place, and felt that this person was not worthy of Shisu. It's just that Zisu himself is dead-eyed, so he thinks that Wan Jiahua is honest and responsible.
Zi Su said, "Girl, I don't want to get married. In this life, I will guard the girl. It's quiet for a lifetime. ”
Yuxi knew that he couldn't force himself with Zisu at this time, and said, "Let's put this matter aside for the time being!"
