Chapter 16: The Old Fox Wei Juan
It's going to be the New Year, and the faces of everyone in the Yun family, old and young, are smiling. At the imperial meeting, the imperial court rewarded the Yun family with confiscated land. It is said that it is the meaning of the Queen Mother, and it is supported by the big tree of the Queen Mother. No matter how bad people in the court gossip, the Yun family is not afraid.
Yun Xiao still nests in the Zhuangzi every day, except for going to the construction site to see his own Zhengnan General Shogunate, he goes to the shed to serve those rare melons and fruits. Except for the great court meeting that must be attended, the general of the southern expedition cannot be seen in the court at all. Except for the occasional Liu Cheng who would send someone to send some gifts, the others didn't see anyone at all.
It seems that there are still many people in the court who are afraid of Yunxiao. They didn't forget about the young man.
Today's sacrificial stove, the family is busy. Yan Xian took Luan Ling to smear honey on Grandpa Land's mouth, and then put on three animals, hoping that this honest old man could go to heaven and say more good things about himself.
Grandpa Land hasn't left yet, but the villain has come to the door.
Wei Juan came to Yunjia Zhuangzi on the pretext of inspecting the Yulin military camp on Yunjia Zhuangzi. As a result, the door of the barracks did not enter, so he went straight to the door of Yunxiao's house.
"Brother, brother is here. How is it not welcome? β
Wei Juan saw Yun Xiao looking at him obviously stunned, so he said with a smile.
"Today is a small year, and it is rare for guests to come to the door. Come and set up a drink for Lord Wei to catch the wind. β
"No"
Wei Dongbao ran to the back kitchen and ordered someone to quickly clean up a table of good wine and food.
Yun Xiao let Wei Juan into his study, which was not seen with Wei Juan. If it weren't for the fact that people who had a bad relationship with the Lord's family could only talk in the hall, how could they enter this study?
"Boy. What's bad about staying at home all day? And who are you pondering? β
"Big brother, look at what you said. I stayed in the court, and His Majesty didn't like me. Stay at home, and you say I'm holding back. You still let me live, I just plant flowers and plants at home, is this also jealous? β
Yun Xiao knew that the first spy leader of Dahan would not come to his home for no reason. There must be something wrong with this visit, and it has something to do with me.
"Plant flowers and plants, no. My hands have been stretched into the fairy hall, and I heard that Aunt Ying has recently said a lot of good things for you from the Queen Mother. Princess Guantao also praised you like a flower in front of her majesty all day long. Don't sue me. You spend the whole day planting flowers and plants at home. Your brother and I have ears. Don't fool me. β
Yun Xiao was not the slightest surprised, women love to show off. It is impossible to hide the leather bags and shoes sent by himself from people, especially if you want to hide from the first spy leader of this big man, it is basically impossible to happen.
"It's just some head jewelry. Gadgets. It's not weapons and armor. Does my brother want to check this too? β
"It's not about you. It was Aunt Zha Ying who brought you out by the way. β
"Aunt Ying? What's wrong with her? Who told you to check ...... Your Majesty"
Yun Xiao pointed to the top of his head in surprise.
"Well, you sent those shoes too eye-catching. After seeing it, His Majesty ordered me to check and see where this thing came from. The people from the Imperial Lieutenant's Office checked and checked. I found the brothel in Xianyang. I also saw that the steward of your house always ran there, but in fact it was nothing. It's just ......"
"But what?"
"However, the spies of the Imperial Lieutenant Department found that Aunt Ying had a good match. was also arranged in a brothel in Xianyang, and every few days Aunt Ying would go to Xianyang to meet the lover when she was not on duty. Well, I don't say you know it. β
There was no smile on Wei Xuan's face, and the dancing candle flame burned in his eyes, as if two flames had been born in his eyes.
"Your Majesty wants to do Aunt Ying? Queen Mother ......"
"Your Majesty doesn't know yet, but now the number of people who know about this matter includes no more than ten people."
"Big brother, what do you mean?"
Yun Xiao is a little unclear, it is a felony for the palace maid to fornicate with outsiders, theoretically all the palace maids in the harem are Liu Qi's, including the half-old's Aunt Ying, if there are palace people caught fornicating, there is only a dead end. With such a blockbuster news, why didn't Wei Juan tell Liu Qi, but find a reason to tell himself?
"I want to give you a favor and leave myself a way to live."
There was a hint of desolation in Wei Xuan's voice, when he knew about this matter yesterday, he knew that if this matter was not done well, it would be a dead end. After thinking about it, I got up early in the morning and came to find Yunxiao.
"It's definitely not okay if you don't report this matter, I can press it for a day and two days. I can't be the master after a long time, because there is still a thousand degrees. At the latest, after tomorrow morning, I will report the results of my investigation to His Majesty. I want you to bring a message to Aunt Ying tonight, you know what I mean? β
Old fox, Yun Xiao said secretly in his heart.
"This big brother's move is really wonderful. Aunt Ying is already in her forties, even if something like this happens, as long as the Queen Mother protects her, she will be fine.
Those who offend her will naturally have no good fruit to eat in the future. Even the queen mother will regard this person as a thorn in the flesh, and the eldest brother asked my brother and me to do this favor, I am afraid that he wants to leave a way back for himself. With the love of ventilating the news, Aunt Ying will not only not retaliate against the eldest brother in the future, but I am afraid that she will try her best to repay the eldest brother. β
"Clever, but it's good for you. Zhidu doesn't seem to be happy with you, if I change my brother and I control the feather forest here, do you think our brothers will cooperate happily? β
"Hahaha, big brother is smart. Presumably, Your Majesty will be dismissed from your official position in a few days, and only Zhidu is qualified to take charge of the Imperial Lieutenant's Office. At that time, this is Yulin and can only be handed over to you. β
I have to admire this guy, as a guy with a fox in the zodiac, he is qualified to be the first prime minister of Liu Xiaozhu. He was able to come up with such a trick to extricate himself from almost no solution, although he would leave the position of lieutenant. But that chair was really difficult to sit on, and Zhidu finally lost Yanmen because of that chair.
Cheng DΓΉ said that his death was also brought to him by that chair.
"So my brother agreed?"
"The younger brother has no reason to refuse the eldest brother, not to mention that I still call you the eldest brother."
"Thank you so much, this steward of your family. Let him go to Chang'an to see Aunt Ying, as long as Aunt Ying sees this thing, she will understand the whole thing. β
"It's ......"
"This thing is her good immortal card that never leaves her body, as long as you hand it over to Aunt Ying, he will naturally understand the whole thing. If she can't even save herself, she can only call for her brother in vain. β
Yun Xiao was happy in his heart, how many people had been killed and died that the veteran of Gong Dou had seen. How can you not know how to protect yourself.
"Master Hou, the wine and food have been arranged. In the conservatory in the backyard as you instruct. β
Wei Dongbao appeared outside the door, knocked on the door, and whispered.
"Come in, I've got an errand to give you."
"No"
Wei Dongbao pushed the door and walked in, and saw Yun Xiao fiddling with a pure gold card in his hand.
"This thing is sent to Aunt Ying, go and ride a fast horse now, anyway, it must be delivered tonight, do you understand?"
"No"
"And you sue Aunt SΓΉying, I asked you to do this matter."
Wei Xuan, who was sitting next to Yun Xiao, said to Wei Dongbao.
"Uh...... The"
Wei Dongbao looked up and saw Yun Xiao nodding slightly, so he saluted and went out. I went to the stable, picked out the fastest Hun horse, beat the horse and whipped it, and ran to Chang'an.
"Alright, that's it. Try your wine and food again, I have missed your food for a long time. β
"Then big brother, please"
The two of them talked and laughed, and came to the outside of a greenhouse in the back house and stopped.
The new glass windows were polished as if they were transparent, and the tables and chairs in the room could be seen clearly. Wei Xuan's curiosity suddenly increased by several levels, and he reached over curiously to see if there was anything to block it.
"Bang" fingers touched the glass, it was hard and tender. Wei Wan touched it with his hand and left a finger print on it. The waiting maid glanced at Wei Juan with resentment, and the glass was wiped white.
"Brother, what is this, how can it be so transparent."
Wei Wan looked at this new material in amazement, but soon he walked into the room. Because he found something even more wonderful.
In the middle of the table was a large bowl of steaming soup, tender green spinach, round meatballs, and a few vermicelli. Looking at it makes people's appetite move, and the plate next to it is even more amazing. Finely chop the cucumber, toss with crispy raw ear shreds, and pour a bowl of piping hot red oil. It's just that the fragrance of the red oil has made the mouth water.
Stir-fried green pepper with sliced meat, stir-fried celery with vermicelli. The most unbearable thing is a plate of watery lettuce with a bowl of steaming yellow sauce next to it.
Wei Xuan's eyes widened, and the guards behind him swallowed a mouthful of saliva. The loud sound made the little maid of the Yun family look sideways.
"Brother, I didn't expect you to be so familiar with Wen Tangjian. As far as you are concerned, even the princess's family can't just put it out. My brother still underestimated you, but I didn't expect your hand to stretch out so long. β
"Big brother, don't laugh at Yunxiao, where do I know any Wen Tang Supervisor. I heard that a cucumber has to be registered there, not to mention making this table of noodles, even if it is a colored leaf, don't want to get it. Everything there is royal, and we can't eat it. If you want to eat, you have to grow it yourself, and these brothers grow it themselves. β
"What, your brother is really don't coax your brother every day. This cold day can freeze dogs to death. Can you grow vegetables? β
"You don't believe it, we'll eat it in a while, I'll take you to see it. It's still a short time, and if it takes another half a month, it is estimated that there will be more to eat. Now there are only a few things, and my brother is not idle. β
It's still shabby, and Wei Juan's eyeballs are about to fall out. In this winter, who is not boiling with dried vegetables and pickles. Even if it is an official eunuch's family, there is not too much meat. Except for the royal family, who will have so many green vegetables.
If you don't say anything, pick up a lettuce and try it first. (To be continued......)
