Shuzi Gaomen (59)

"Your Majesty is safe." Li Xiangjun entered the hall and bowed to Emperor Yongkang, who was sitting upright.

Emperor Yongkang waved his hand, and he had to give face to his wife. So the expression on his face softened: "Get up. Between husband and wife, you don't need to be so polite."

The first thing Li Xiangjun did when he got up was to look at Emperor Yongkang's face. Immediately, he frowned: "How long has it been, why has Your Majesty lost so much weight?"

The two didn't see each other very often, and it was normal for them not to meet for ten days and a half. So fat and thin, you can see it at a glance. In addition, Emperor Yongkang's face was sallow and haggard, and he looked like he was seriously ill. Of course the queen was taken aback.

In fact, Emperor Yongkang himself knew that the thing Lin Fanghua used was probably inappropriate. No one knows the condition of this body better than him. I used to ride horses and shoot arrows, go up mountains and down rivers, and there was no problem at all. Now I walk in the garden, and my feet are fluttering.

When asked by the queen on his face, the expression on his face was almost unbearable, and he only shook his head and said, "I have a lot of troubles in the court recently, and I feel a little uncomfortable. I can't eat or sleep, and my complexion is not good. It's not a big problem. Wait. Just relax and take care of it.”

The queen also knew about Chu Yuan, and her face became clear: "The Chu family is not good."

Emperor Yongkang glanced at the empress in amazement. Before, he was thinking of choosing a crown princess from the Chu family. This has become really fast!

The queen was a little embarrassed, "Actually, before, the concubine thought that the girl of the Chu family should be suitable for the crown princess. But being a wife, that's really bad."

You simply say that you are not finished with the power of the Chu family. Emperor Yongkang felt a little helpless in the face of an empress who was always so sincere, "Okay, let's not talk about that. Is there anything wrong with the empress coming here today?"

Only then did the queen say: "The concubines have passed down the imperial doctor and asked them to show you."

See a doctor?

Emperor Yongkang's expression became strange, "Call Imperial Doctor Jiang here." This Imperial Doctor Jiang, who has some connections with the old ox-nosed Daoist Xu, knew about his physical condition. Their family lives are in their hands, so they know what to say and what not to say. Over the years, there has never been a mistake.

The queen did not agree: "If Imperial Doctor Jiang is useful, why is your dragon body here? The concubine passed down Imperial Doctor Li..."

The look on Emperor Yongkang's face turned gloomy, "How is the dragon's body, can anyone detect it? Queen, you are arrogant!"

"Is it wrong for a wife to care about her husband?" The queen felt that these were all her responsibilities as the queen, "Your Majesty Ye Xingfei, concubine, concubine, all night long..."

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" The blue veins on Emperor Yongkang's head jumped up, "Spy on my whereabouts, what are you trying to do?"

The people outside the hall were fighting one by one, and the cold sweat on their heads only dripped down, my God! What have you heard today?

Laifu wiped the sweat from his forehead, and just as he mustered up the courage to go in, he heard the Empress shout: "If Your Majesty still doesn't listen to his advice and blindly let Li Cairen's coquettish son invite favor, the concubine will be invited out. Zhonggong's note table..."

Laifu's footsteps stopped all of a sudden, and he turned around and glanced at Mammy Zhang, who was waiting on the side, isn't it okay for the Queen to be quiet? Endless tossing about what? He turned around, called a little **** to come over, and gave a few words in a low voice. He was relieved when he saw that the little **** ran away.

Mammy Zhang really wished she could kneel down at this moment. This was not the reason why she persuaded the queen to come. Even if the emperor takes a two-day break after the 15th day of the first day, even if there are no children, the relationship between husband and wife can always be eased. Don't look at the fact that his master is now the queen, but there is no queen who is favored by the emperor. In this palace, he is not as comfortable as Li Cairen. If there is no prince under the queen's knees, there is simply no place in this palace. But the master has such a temper! She can really kill herself!

Gan stayed up for half the night and woke up a little late today. Just after breakfast, Mama He came in and whispered a few words in Mrs Gan's ear.

"She's crazy?" Gan shi looked at Mammy He in disbelief, thinking that she had hallucinated.

Mammy He also looked startled and gave a wry smile: "Laifu has sent someone to ask you to hurry over. The two of them are quarreling now."

The blue veins on Gan's head jumped up, and he got up and left. Whether the queen can speak, and whether she has a brain, she said in front of others that the emperor favored concubines, and she stayed up all night. This is already scolding the emperor for being a fool. In addition, the period of filial piety has not yet passed. It is estimated that the emperor really had the heart to kill the queen at this time. What else did you say to ask the Zhonggong to write a table? The power of the Zhonggong must be given by the emperor. If you really want to take the phoenix seal in her hand first, then there is no place to cry if you really want to cry. "I really can't count on it, she's never been so arrogant before..."

Who said it wasn't?

When the people outside the hall saw Gan, they all knelt down and saluted. Gan Shi ignored these people and went inside along the steps. Just as he was about to enter the door, he heard a crisp sound of porcelain falling to the ground, followed by the emperor's roar like a trapped beast: "You are bold! Now even you Dare to threaten me. Just because you haven't made this one over the years, I can abolish you!"

This can be regarded as a stab in the lung tube.

"Abolish me?" The Queen recalled the years of being alone in the empty house, and her face turned pale, "Your Majesty said that I have nothing to do, so it's up to you..."

"The Queen Mother!" Gan hurriedly interrupted the Queen's words, and if she continued, she would be speechless. If you really want to say something bad from the Queen's mouth, I'm afraid that the Emperor will really be tempted to kill. So, she hurriedly called outside, interrupting the quarrel between the two, and then walked in. Seeing the emperor sitting on the couch, he looked at the queen sullenly, as if he was going to eat her in the next moment. And Gan's face also showed a look of fear, almost, almost said something that shouldn't be said. Now, at the gloomy look in the emperor's eyes, she was even more afraid.

Gan stepped forward and stood between the emperor and the queen, blocking the sight of the confrontation between the two.

"What's the matter?" she asked softly. "Why did you get so angry?"

When the queen saw Gan, her brows furrowed, "When our husband and wife were talking, who asked you to interject. Find out who you are, and whether there are any rules!"

Gan turned to look at the queen, and her voice became low: "Just think about what you said just now? You are the queen, and the emperor will not take you easily? But what about the Li family?

The queen's face turned pale, but she still stubbornly glanced to the side, "Besides me, who would want to be this queen who has been dumb for half my life?"

It's a big deal!

Emperor Yongkang flipped the small kang table off easily: "Without you, Queen Li, there will be another Queen Li." Don't think that there is no one but you.

Gan knew that when the emperor said 'another Queen Li', it was a general term, and it was not necessarily a surname Li! But the queen may not think so.

Sure enough, the queen pushed the Gan family away: "The other Queen Li, you still want to abolish your concubine and make room for the sassy son of Yilan Palace, don't you?"

Gan's forehead, can you grasp the point, what's the point of arguing like a shrew? Li Cairen is charming or not, this is not important at all, the important thing is that you are worried about the emperor's body.

The emperor has been very cold to the empress these years, but he has never been embarrassed, and he is even willing to pretend to be a modest gentleman in front of her. That's because he also knows that the queen is sincere to him.

Now that she is so entangled, I am afraid that the emperor's guilt towards her will slowly wear off.

The emperor pointed at the queen, and his hands began to tremble: "You...you...I want to abolish..."

"Shut up!" Gan scolded the two of them, "What are you arguing about? What are you arguing about? Do you remember who you are?"

This sound not only frightened the people outside to kneel on the ground, but also the Yongkang Emperor and the Empress inside were stunned at the same time.

Gan Shi wiped his face, and then changed his voice: "It's all grown up now, it's not when we were young, we were noisy, and we were annoyed for three days or two days. Seriously, we've known each other since we were young. It's not an exaggeration to say that they are childhood sweethearts." After speaking, she looked at Emperor Yongkang, "The queen and you, do you count as childhood sweethearts?"

Emperor Yongkang pursed his lips, and the two had indeed known each other since childhood. She plays with her junior sister all day long, and she can always see her every now and then. I can't say how deep the relationship is, but I was only seven or eight years old when I met.

Seeing Emperor Yongkang's acquiescence, Mrs Gan turned to look at the empress whose eyes were already red: "You didn't know the identity of the emperor at the time, you just thought that he was my father's student, and followed me to call his majesty brother. The one that brother gave you. A rabbit lamp, you should still keep it, right? My one was well received in the past, but I lost it when I ransacked the house..."

The queen's tears came down all of a sudden, and she cried out as she squatted on the ground.

Emperor Yongkang looked at the queen who was squatting on the ground, pursed the corners of his mouth, got up and helped the queen up: "Okay! Just like what Quan'er said, childhood sweethearts have been half a lifetime until now. There is no love between men and women, but I also treat you like... a sister. I have been in the mansion for many years, and I have not missed you. Don't make trouble! I know you are kind, but this change of imperial doctor will easily make people outside think too much. Today is an eventful time, and I am very busy. I am irritable, but I just go to Li Cairen to relax. What does she compare to you? We are growing up together. You are worried about my body, I know. That's why I sent people to invite Master Xu Dao. When I was in the palace, I was always the one who took care of my body and never made any mistakes. Now you should rest assured."

The queen sobbed twice and blessed her body: "Is it a concubine's body today?"

Emperor Yongkang took the Queen's hand and clapped: "I'm also wrong. I'm not good at being angry. What I'm saying today is just angry words, don't take it to heart. Go back and rest well, and I'll ask someone to give it to you after a while. Can I make hundreds or eighty rabbit lamps? At that time, I didn’t have much money, so I couldn’t buy as much as I wanted. Now, I’ll ask someone to make it for you as much as you want.”

The queen laughed with a 'puchi': "Then the concubine is waiting for the emperor's lamp."

Emperor Yongkang smiled and nodded: "Go back first. When Xu comes, I will send someone to ask you to come over when I check the pulse."

The queen then responded and turned around and went out.

Emperor Yongkang looked at the back of the queen going out, and the smile on his face faded a little, "Thanks to you today." The prince is still under the queen's name. It means that he expresses his dissatisfaction with the prince through his dissatisfaction with the queen. This is not what he likes to see.

Gan Shi'er today, this is a stupefied pairing of the two on their childhood sweethearts.

"You know the Queen's temper." Mrs Gan helped him sit down, "You need to be a little more thoughtful..."

Emperor Yongkang waved his hand: "Don't say it, I know it all."

Mrs Gan still sat next to Emperor Yongkang and said softly, "Although the queen has a tougher temper, she is really doing it for your own good. Let me say something you don't like to hear. Your body is defeated too fast. Lin Fanghua It must have been some kind of means. You still have to be on guard. It's time to invite Master Xu."

Emperor Yongkang took Gan's hand, "I know, but I really don't want to be gentle for a while, but it seems that I can't get over it, and I feel panic in my heart. I don't have the energy to do anything."

Gan's eyes flashed for a moment: "It sounds like you're suffering from lovesickness."

Emperor Yongkang was taken aback for a moment, "Don't say it, it's really like suffering from lovesickness." Like that woman Lin Fanghua? This is simply not possible.

Gan Shi smiled and changed the subject: "Since the previous affairs are basically over, I will bring the book to you. It is not appropriate for me to deal with this."

Emperor Yongkang lay down on the couch: "Zhezi can also be brought here. I will ask someone to clean up a cubicle for you in the imperial study and come out. When no one is there, you are inside... Look at the Zhezi and give me a hand." The key It's because my eyes are a little blurry that I can't see anything clearly. In addition to Gan Shi, there is no one he can entrust with such a thing.

Gan shi lowered his head, his eyes flashed, and then he said, "The imperial censor below wants to speak."

"Chu Yuan's case is still pending. There are many people involved here. If anyone is disobedient, check his roots..." Emperor Yongkang sneered, "So, let's see who else is disobedient."

But this is going to block the way of speech!

Gan shi lowered his eyelids and said for a long time, "That's not necessary. Just through this matter, if you look at the hearts of the people below and the hearts of the ministers, it's also good."

Because of himself, he has implicated the minister, and he must be complaining. She wouldn't do such an unpopular thing!

Emperor Yongkang nodded, and waved his hands tiredly at Mrs Gan, who then withdrew.

When he walked outside the hall, he heard the voice of Emperor Yongkang calling Laifu.

Immediately after that, the whole palace shook. The emperor's rewards continued to go to Chaofeng Palace.

In the East Palace, Jin Yunshun silently listened to the report and wiped away a cold sweat. This situation is changing so fast. A quarter of an hour ago, I heard that the emperor and the queen were arguing, and the emperor shouted that he was going to abolish the queen. But a quarter of an hour later, the queen turned into red eyes, but came out of the imperial study with a smile, and received the emperor's reward.

Jixiang whispered: "...Your Highness is at ease, the emperor and the queen are childhood sweethearts, and they are also young husbands and wives. Even if they look simple, their inner feelings are different from others. According to the servants, this man is still tired of women. When the time came, but among the relatives, there were relatively few people who turned against each other. The emperor and the queen have a bit of this meaning. Otherwise, who would be safe after almost knocking down the imperial study. This connivance is comparable to Li Cai. People's favor is much heavier."

Jin Yunshun nodded: "Pack up and go to greet the queen later." Auspicious words did make some sense. But he ignored one person, and that was Concubine Chen. The emperor and the queen were arguing, but when she entered as a concubine, she could make the two immediately turn off the fire. Concubines regulate the relationship between husband and wife? This is really fantastic. But there really is. It seemed that Concubine Chen had no ill will towards the Queen, so it would be more cost-effective to have a good relationship with her than to have a bad relationship. "It seems that I have to persuade the queen..."

Gan only went to ask to see after the reward had entered the Chaofeng Palace.

How dare Mama Zhang stop this time, this time thanks to the Gan family. The queen's position, after this quarrel, seemed stronger. In the future, whoever faces Chaofeng Palace, has to be careful. After his own master contradicted the emperor, he was also coaxed by the emperor.

When the queen saw Gan Shi, the smile on her face slowly faded away, and she turned around and dismissed the people serving inside, "Thanks to you this time."

Gan Shi rolled her eyes at the Queen: "At last, I have grown a little bit, and I know the truth of descending the donkey along the slope."

There was a bit of a mocking smile on the corner of the queen's mouth: "Yeah! It's the smartest way for me to be a fool now, a fool who can be easily coaxed." After speaking, she raised her eyes to look at Mrs Gan, "I I have a prince under my knees, and I need your help."

Gan looked at the queen in amazement: "What do you want to do?"

The queen's mouth pursed: "Don't worry, as long as you help me, the prince will not treat Yun Yin badly in the future."

The Gan family is most afraid of dealing with people like the queen. She has changed from one extreme to the other, and the transformation is too fast. I am planning and then acting. Do not want to know absolutely do not do. But the queen really remembered that one came out one came out.

Seeing that Gan Shi didn't speak, the queen frowned and said, "I see, he doesn't treat you that much now... You don't care about anything else, you should also plan for Yun Yin in the future. Don't forget, she hasn't entered the sect yet. The genealogy. As long as I am here, Yun Yin will not only be able to enter the genealogy, but also become the most honorable eldest princess in our Da Zhou."

The eldest princess, only the emperor's sister is named the eldest princess.

The Queen's mind was simply revealed. But can such a mind be spoken in front of a person who ignores enemies and friends? At this level, he dares to plan big things. Do you think you are dying too slowly?

Besides, is there someone who can support you? Do you dare to shout?

Gan shi closed his eyes and said very patiently: "Looking at our past friendship, I will persuade you one last time. In the future, I will definitely not intervene in your affairs. You remember it for me!" She didn't care about the queen's expression, she just said with a stern face: "The prince is already the prince, as long as you stay safe and don't make mistakes, then no one can do anything about the prince. But once you move your thoughts that you shouldn't have, you can do it yourself. The gun collided. Do you know how many people are staring at the prince's every move? You don't know! Do you have any civil servants who can respond to the court? Still no! You don't know anything, you don't understand anything, what are you tossing about!"

"Then what do you think I should do?" Gan was hysterical all of a sudden. "The words he said were all to coax me. I'm in my thirties this year, and I'm not a thirteen-year-old girl. It's not a good word, A good face can fool the past. But before, when he said that he was going to destroy me, the expression, the tone, I know, it was the truth. He really moved his mind! Am I just sitting there and waiting? I have spent half my life for him, and I don't want this half of my life without a result!"

Gan shi closed his eyes tiredly, and then got up: "I've said all this, whether you want to listen or not, it's up to you!"

Seeing that Mrs. Gan really said she would leave, the queen quickly took a few steps and grabbed Mrs. Gan's sleeve: "You haven't said it yet..."

Gan yanked his sleeves back, "I don't have a son under my knees. If I don't fight or grab anyone, I can't help me. I won't participate!"

"You..." The queen pointed at Mrs Gan, but Mrs Gan ignored her and turned around and went out.

But when I walked outside the hall, I saw the embarrassed mama Zhang and the complicated prince.

"My son, thank you mother and concubine." Jin Yunshun saluted to the Gan family. When the prince heard what was said just now, he was really frightened and broke into a cold sweat. For the first time, I felt that it was not a blessing to be recorded in the queen's name. She is so easygoing! If this goes on, sooner or later, he will be implicated and killed.

Ganshi nodded, turned sideways to avoid, and only received a half-salute. But he didn't say anything unnecessary to the prince.

In the Yilan Palace, Lin Fanghua irritably asked the nurse to carry the crying Yuan Geer down, and whispered to the little **** who came in to report the letter, "Did you really hear clearly?"

The little **** nodded: "Yes! The little one has heard clearly. The emperor said that the empress would be abolished, and that there was no Queen Li, and that Queen Li..."

Lin Fanghua laughed all of a sudden, gave a reward, and sent the person out.

She took out the blood toad in her arms and felt that its color had faded a little. Could it be that the phoenix aura in her body was getting stronger and stronger. If the emperor can say the words of abolishing the queen today, he will definitely be able to abolish the queen tomorrow. Yes! There is no Empress Li, Li Xiangjun, and Empress Li herself.

Finally one day, I will stand at the top.

"Just pull down the crown prince... I see what you have to rely on, Li Xiangjun!" Lin Fanghua murmured, taking the blood toad carefully into his arms.

Autumn is a chilling season.

The people of the Chu family, except for one of them, were sentenced to beheaded for robbing a civilian girl to death. Everything else is let go. It is said that Chu Yuan has found a good son-in-law, and for this reason, it is not easy for Duke Jin to come out and intercede for the Chu family. I didn't see that in order to beg the emperor, even the forehead was smashed. Mrs. Chu was very grateful, and even the Chu family were very grateful. Chu Huaiyu sneered in her heart, but she wouldn't say anything stupid. The more grateful the Chu family is to Jin Chengan, the more reassured Jin Chengan is, so that he will not think about cutting the weeds and eradicating the roots. And myself, just dormant so quietly, one day, I will be able to bite him fiercely as if he had bitten his grandfather.

Chu Yuan is irreplaceable to the Chu family. But not for the court.

The newly appointed Prime Minister is already hot.

It was Guo Changhe.

"I heard that Concubine Chen Gui once told the emperor that Prime Minister Guo is good at everything, but not good at all. He is too stingy." Gui Wu whispered to the fourth master and Lin Yutong about the information he had inquired. Despite the news, the fourth master He knew a lot more than what he had inquired about. "The emperor laughed when he heard it, and rewarded Prime Minister Guo with a five-entry mansion, and two other villages with three thousand taels of silver. Other utensils, silk and satin countless."

Lin Yutong laughed lightly: "This person is stingy, it doesn't matter if he has money or not, the key is his temper." After speaking, he asked suspiciously: "How did the words of Concubine Chen's words to the emperor come out?"

Gui Wu shook his head, how would he know where to go? It's all what people say, how he listens.

The fourth master waved his hand and told Gui Wu to go down: "Your Majesty, this is to prevent Guo Changhe from being someone who was arranged in advance by Concubine Chen Gui. Concubine Chen Gui said something bad about Guo Changhe, so that the mean people are always careful, I'm afraid Guo Changhe doesn't have a good impression of Concubine Chen. I heard that Concubine Chen is currently serving in the imperial study. This is because the emperor is afraid that the people around him will join forces with the Prime Minister to make him empty. Put a nail between the two. "

"Then this proves that he is not ill and confused." Lin Yutong smacked his lips. According to the fourth master, Emperor Yongkang was seriously ill. It's all up to this, and the mind is still turning so neatly, it's really unconvincing.

"Some people, using this brain is as simple and necessary as eating and drinking." The fourth master dropped his wife's chess piece on the chessboard and chuckled: "Wait for one day, you can do it too, too. That's almost it." After speaking, he sighed again, looked at Lin Yutong, then shook his head, "However, your talent is really..." Don't say anything.

Lin Yutong rolled his eyes at him, put down a chess piece, and grabbed another piece of corn cobs and gnawed on it.

Sanxi quietly took away the plate with the corn on it. Even a girl like her knew that playing chess was an elegant thing. Everyone would burn incense, make tea, and then play chess. But as for my master, on the small table next to it, all food is placed. It's not an elegant meal, it's the corn cobs eaten by the poor.

Fortunately, I met someone like my uncle, otherwise I would have been rejected to death. This is not the case with my own girl in the Lin family. After getting married, she is becoming more and more careless.

The two sat in the pavilion on the top of the mountain and played chess, occasionally looking down, the layers of forest were dyed, the autumn wind picked up, the leaves swayed with the branches and trunks, and they also had a different rhythm. This is a different landscape.

Lin Yutong was working hard, and when he was going to cheat with the fourth master, Guixi ran up out of breath and handed the post in his hand to the fourth master: "Master, a son who claims to be a descendant of the Miao family is visiting."

Lin Yutong put down the chess piece in an instant and sighed, "This guy really can't stand his temper, he just found him now."

Fourth Master looked at the post and handed it back to Guixi: "Go! Invite someone to come up."

Miao Zhuang followed this little servant named Guixi, along the path on the mountain, all the way up the mountain. Today, the sky is a little colder, and the temperature in the mountains is lower. Traveling through the mountains and forests where there is no sunlight all year round, he couldn't help tightening his clothes. I wanted to inquire a few things about the princess and the concubine, but seeing that this little servant was very tight-lipped, the wild vegetables and weeds on the mountain were all picked up and said again, but nothing useful was revealed.

When he reached the top of the mountain, looking at a man and a woman sitting in the pavilion playing chess, he suddenly felt that he was only envious of mandarin ducks and not immortals. He had seen Princess Yunyin in the main hall. But this was the first time he saw the man who was said to be his cousin. It's not as weak as the legends say, but it's hard to tell the depth at a glance. He is obviously young, but he just feels that in front of him, there is nothing to hide.

He calmed down and stepped forward to salute.

"Get up." Princess Yunyin said lightly. There was no excess emotion in her tone of voice.

Miao Zhuang got up and stood on the side, quietly watching the two play chess. People don't ask, and he doesn't say anything. It wasn't until the game of chess was over that Princess Yunyin stood up and said with a smile, "I want to be active, go and continue with the concubine."

Miao Zhuang bowed in response, watched Princess Yunyin turn around, and then took the small basket and shovel from the girl's hand, as if she really wanted to dig wild vegetables.

"Sit down." The fourth master collected the pieces one by one, and then reopened the game, "Black or white?"

"It's white." Miao Zhuang replied.

Fourth Master smiled and did not speak, and took a step forward. Miao Zhuang followed and fell behind. The fourth master walked faster and faster, and Miao Zhuang always thought about it for a while, and then landed a son.

Until the sky was slowly darkening, Guixi thought about whether to put a curtain around the pavilion and turn on the lights. This round is over. In the end, the fourth master won two sons.

"Go back! It's time to eat." The fourth master got up and left.

Miao Zhuang followed closely behind. On the way, he listened to Guixi's servant saying that the princess had found some wild vegetables, and when he was going to eat something at night, he didn't find a chance to speak.

He could see that they did not intend to speak. But if you don't take the initiative to speak up, you can't do it.

After entering the courtyard, Miao Zhuang just mustered up his courage when he heard the concubine explain to the servant: "Take good care of the guests, and don't be sloppy in food. Don't put those wild things on the table for the guests."

With that said, Shi Shiran left. Only this little servant named Guixi was left, who led him to the guest house with a smile.

When Lin Yutong saw Fourth Master came back, he smiled and said, "Wash your hands and eat."

The fourth master glanced at the table, saw that there were really thinly sliced ​​vegetable steamed buns, and said with a smile: "Do you really eat this?"

"The ones on the edge of the stream are tender." Lin Yutong took a piece and stuffed it into Fourth Master's mouth, "How is it? It tastes good."

"Yeah!" Fourth Master wiped his hands and took a bite, "Yes, it's fragrant."

Lin Yutong said with a smile: "Let's eat less of this first. The palace sent someone to send over a dozen taro. It should be a tribute from Lipu. I haven't eaten this thing for a long time, so I ordered it to be steamed. Eat it as a late night snack."

"Now I'm sending a tribute, a hundred to the capital, I'm afraid it's good to have one left." The fourth master shook his head, "It's a waste of money and labor. This is not something that must be eaten."

The two were talking, and they had dinner. Lin Yutong then asked, "Is Miao Zhuang a real Miao family or a fake Miao family?"

"I didn't ask." Fourth Master replied lightly.

"Didn't ask?" Lin Yutong looked at him, "Then why did you stay with him for so long?"

"Didn't you ask me to play chess with others?" Fourth Master said as a matter of course.

this man!

"Try me." Lin Yutong glanced out, "Seriously, you tested him for an afternoon. If it wasn't to test him, how long would he be able to play chess with you for so long?"

It's not good to be too familiar with people, and there is no sense of mystery at all.

The fourth master smiled and said, "He's a thoughtful person. He's not too old, but he's not arrogant. After dinner, I'll talk to him again, and it's almost the same."

When Miao Zhuang was invited to the study, it was already time for the lamp.

The fourth master asked him to sit opposite the desk, and said directly, "Tell the truth, are you from the Miao family?"

Miao Zhuang said: Sure enough! He really doubted.

So he smiled bitterly and sighed, "I am from the Miao family, and my father is Miao Kai. Grandfather Miao Cai, great-grandfather Miao Jin."

"If you ask about this, you can know." The fourth master beckoned for Guixi to serve tea, and then looked at Miao Zhuang, "I think you are clear about the relationship between the Miao family and Chu Yuan and Jin Chengan. And I only see You have a partnership with Kim Sung-an."

The corners of Miao Zhuang's mouth pursed: "My father and mother are in Jin Chengan's hands, what can I do? It is said that there is another sister now." He raised his hands and covered his eyes, "I have been in Jin Chengan's hands all these years. I don't dare to think about what will happen to my parents if I don't obey. I will learn whatever he tells me to learn. I will do whatever he tells me to do. I have never violated his mind. It took him so many years to train like a dog before he dared to let me out. I came to you this time, and it was also his intention. He wanted me to gain your trust."

After he finished speaking, he slumped on the chair as if his strength had been drained.

Fourth Master frowned, "I don't quite understand what you said. What is he holding the Miao family for? What exactly does the Miao family have in his hands? It's worth his calculations."

The corner of Miao Zhuang's mouth moved, and after being silent for a long time, he said: "I don't know very well. But it should be related to a kind of goods that the ancestors of the Miao family traded with the green-eyed ghosts on the seashore."

Green-eyed ghost?

It means foreigners.

"Do you know what it is?" Fourth Master looked at Miao Zhuang, "You don't know anything about it, do you?"

Miao Zhuang sighed: "I only heard my father mention it once when I was a child. Great grandfather was at the seaside when he came across a big boat floating down the river. The big boat was full of green-eyed ghosts. I don't know where they came from overseas. At that time, they had no water or food on the boat, so they offered to exchange food with their grandfather. There was nothing else on the boat, but there were a lot of black balls. die……"

The fourth master burst out laughing, so this is the baby Jin Chengan was looking for!

He said earlier, how much do you want to make for him... What kind of baby is it!
