Chapter 492: Conspiracy (two chapters in one)(1/2)
Wujia Lane, Beijing.
On the second day of the second update, Lord Wu and several tribe members with status from the Wu family left the house of the old man in the second house.
The next morning, a servant from the Wu family sent a letter covered with Wu's mark to the official post: "My master and official appointed him as the Minister of the Honglu Temple. This is an official account and it is of great importance. It is urgent to be expedited for 600 miles. Please send it out quickly."
A few days later, the Wu family, who was far away in office, received a letter from the capital. He unfolded the letter and looked carefully, his brows getting tighter and tighter.
The second son standing beside him looked at his father's face quietly, and he couldn't help feeling uneasy. The father was at the critical moment, and at this moment, there was no mistake.
"Father, what's wrong with the family?" asked Mr. Wu.
The Wu family first glanced at their son, but what they were thinking about was another thing.
The elders in the clan said gentle words, saying that Yang was rude and discussed other people's wives and daughters in vain. Before Yang's stepmother passed away, there was a rumor that Master Yang wanted to divorce his wife. The clan elders felt that although this was a matter of the back house, if they were indulged, it would inevitably affect his future. However, this was his private matter after all, and he decided it all.
The article is not long, and it is a page of paper. And it is just a word about Yang Suyun's verbal conversation.
But the Wu family knew that the fewer words, the bigger the matter. The reason why they did not explain it in detail was that they were worried that this letter would affect the Wu clan if it fell into the hands of others.
The people on the dragon throne changed several times, and many families were raining and winding, but the Wu clan stood tall and had a rising trend. The Wu family was the one who let the Wu clan see hope.
His future is not his own, but his own family. Similarly, his marriage is not his own, but his relationship with two surnames. Even if it cannot help the Wu family, it must not be a drag.
In the past, the emperor gave marriage. Although the Yang family was not of high status, the Wu family first valued the identity of Yang Suyun's female official.
The Wu family knew very well that a wife who was once a close female official in the queen would make him feel one or two more intimate and trust in the emperor's heart.
Therefore, he readily agreed to the marriage that if Yang Suyun had not been filial, they would be husband and wife now.
But what the Wu family knew better was that once his wife's behavior was extraordinary, not only would the emperor's extra affection and trust in him disappear, but even the original value would be lost.
The emperor would not think that there was something wrong with giving marriage, but would determine that his wife did, because he was not strict in managing the family, and would even think that it was his instruction.
"You go and invite Mr. Liang and Mr. Yu to come." Wu Jiaxian said in a deep voice.
Mr. Liang and Mr. Yu are his aides and even more of his think tanks.
The next day, as soon as the city gate opened, Mr. Wu and Mr. Liang left the city together and embarked on the road to return to Beijing.
Before this, Wu Jiaxian’s memorials and letters were delivered to the capital one step ahead of them.
Capital.
The people from the inn brought a box of books, which the missionaries sent to Yan Xuehuai.
Yan Xuehuai was also shocked when she saw this box of books. She didn't expect that the missionary would send so many.
However, she was still very happy. Xiaoman, who couldn't even understand a word, was interested and looked at Yan Xuehuai with anticipation: "Sister, can you teach me the words?"
Yan Xuehuai's heart moved. Why did she forget that she also had a younger brother from the top.
Even if she is a princess in the future, she will not be able to sit with other people and talk big. This is the reason for the times. It cannot be changed by just one or two female generals and talented men, or by the Zhou Dajia and Wang Dajia.
But she can teach others what she knows, such as the child who desires knowledge in front of her.
Unfortunately, Yan Xuehuai was soon disappointed.
Facts have proved that academic masters are not omnipotent. For example, Xiaoman and Yan Xuehuai have only taught for three days and have no confidence.
Xiaoman's tongue is far less flexible than his head, and his ears are the same. Unless he is thrown into the middle of the foreigners and live with the foreigners, he can only read and write.
More importantly, Yan Xuehuai is not a qualified teacher. She is not patient and has no teaching methods. Finally, she simply asked Zhenzhu to think of a way to let Xiaoman go to the inn to meet and talk to the merchants in the country every few days.
Why is it a Fanbian businessman, not the knowledgeable missionary? There is only one reason: Yan Xuehuai doesn't want the missionary to brainwash Xiaoman.
The incident where the missionaries brought books to Yan Xuehuai quickly spread throughout the capital.
The princess is familiar with Fanbian and has begun to translate Fanbian books.
The prospective princess is familiar with the prose of several countries and has translated many non-prose books!
In short, when these rumors spread into the harem, the queen was not only not angry, but was also very happy.
Whether reading or writing, the queen was stronger than her brothers and younger brothers when she was a child, but she was asserted by her grandfather when she was still young that no matter how well her handwriting was written, it could only be circulated in the boudoir.
Later, when the queen had a daughter, she wanted to raise her daughter to be a talented woman. Unfortunately, although the princess had learned all the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she had no talent.
The Crown Princess and the Princess are best friends who grew up together. Their talent is equally good. They can read, write, play the piano, and play chess. They can do everything, but none of them can be used to show off.
Not to mention Princess Duan, she can kill enemies when she goes into battle and fight when she gets off the horse. As for learning, she can summarize it in two words: literacy.
When he arrived at Yan Xuehuai, the Empress had already reduced the standards again and again: she was not short and beautiful, and her son liked it, that was enough.
As for the second prince's concubine, sorry, the queen still doesn't know if the in-laws will get married in the future. It's the standard... it's enough to be a woman.
It is conceivable that there are legends in the capital that Yan Xuehuai can speak a few words and translate a few books after writing. How can the queen be unhappy when she hears it?
What does this mean? It means that the Seventh Prince's Consort is a talented woman, a talented woman!
Is the Seventh Prince's Concubine not well written?
Narrow! Not only are talented women who write well, but are there any so-called talented women in the capital who can translate foreign books? None of them!
Is the Seventh Prince's Concubine showing up in public and not admonishing the wife?
Nonsense! The Seventh Prince's Consort is the daughter-in-law of the Chai family, and the Great Wei Dynasty belongs to the Chai family. She is loyal to the court and also serves the Chai family. This is the duty of being a wife.
Yan Xuehuai, who was forcing Xiaoman to memorize words, sneezes. She rubbed her nose. She didn't know that according to her prospective mother-in-law's theory, she was already a talented girl among talented girls.
The same rumors also reached the Yang family. Yang Suyun frowned when she heard it. Yan Xuehuai could speak out? How could this be possible?
Valley call
She asked her maid to go out to inquire, and the news was soon found. Honglu Temple was looking for people who were familiar with the language in major academies, but the talented men found were all inferior to the prospective princess who were waiting to be married.
At this moment, another maid came in from outside: "Grand girl, this is your letter, the official post just sent it."
The same envelopes and the same handwriting were sent by Guanyi Zhengda Guangming, all of which were exactly the same as the letter she hid in the box.
Yang Suyun couldn't wait to unpack the envelope and read it word by line.
She saw a name: Yan Zhaoshi.
This is Li Qiniang's ex-husband and Yan Xuehuai's biological father.
Yang Suyun thought for a while and got up and went to Master Yang's yard.
The new mourning of Wang family has not been around for a year, and Master Yang has already started to discuss marriage. Of course, this is all secret. He is now the father-in-law of the Wu family, and he still has to be more or less restrained in his actions. If the Wang family comes to the door for this, it will be not good after all.
The daughter of a small merchant was discussing marriage. She was sixteen years old and was in her early years. Master Yang went to see her. After returning, he was obsessed with her. Even the concubine, who was originally favored, felt boring. These days she became more peaceful. She did not go to the aunt's house or secretly went out to find a secret family. She would take care of her body in her own yard every day, and strive for a wedding night with fierce spirits.
Seeing Yang Suyun, Master Yang was a little flattered, and quickly piled up wrinkles on his face and asked, "Why are you here? Just ask someone to come over and say something."
Yang Suyun suppressed his disgust and said to Master Yang: "I am still in the filial piety period, so it is not convenient to go out. Go and ask someone to see where he is now an official."
Hearing that he was going to ask someone with an official position, Master Yang breathed a sigh of relief. He was the in-laws of the Wu clan and the father-in-law of the Wu family. Those small officials of the sixth rank and seventh rank in the sixth yamen still gave him face.
One day later, Master Yang told Yang Suyun the news he had heard.
Yan Zhaoshi is currently the chief clerk of Shifeng County.
Yang Suyun couldn't help frowning. Shifeng County is far away from the capital, but it's not possible to just write a letter for this matter. He had to send someone with a good time. But this time, I'm afraid I'll miss the seventh prince's wedding.
Shifeng County.
Yan Zhaoshi came back from the mountain again, and he finally knew how the old chief clerk died in the line of duty back then.
This time, he almost couldn't come back.
Since he was transferred to Shifeng County, almost every time there was a civil unrest, he and the judge would be sent out. It was appropriate for the judge to go, but Yan Zhaoshi couldn't understand. He was just a scholar without any power. What did the magistrate send him to do?
The villagers couldn't even understand the official language. Of course, he couldn't understand the local dialect. They were talking to each other, and they all said their own words. Just like this time, maybe because he thought he was talking too much, a villager picked up a sharpened bamboo pole and stabbed him in his chest. Fortunately, the arrester was quick-witted and quickly cut the bamboo pole down. Otherwise, he, the chief clerk, would die and become the second chief clerk to die.
On the way back, Yan Zhaoshi paid for the judge to drink. The judge drank a few more drinks before telling the truth.
In fact, the previous Wang Zhuan had only gone to the countryside once, that time he died in the line of duty.
Before Yan Zhaoshi came, every time the villagers in the mountains had conflicts, the people in the county government took turns, including the county magistrate, also went to the countryside. However, because Wang Zhuan was old, he was not on the shift. The reason why he wanted to go there that time was because he had to be evaluated. Wang Zhuan needed to increase his political achievements, but he did not expect that he would die directly after going there.
Yan Zhaoshi was so angry that he was about to ask why he treated him like this. The judge was drunk and fell asleep on the table.
Yan Zhaoshi's chest seemed to be blocked by a big stone, but he was angry but could not vent. He could not go to the magistrate, but the magistrate would definitely not admit it. If he was looking for a magistrate to confront him, he would be speechless if he was drunk and didn't remember it.
When Yan Zhaoshi returned home and saw Tian Zhenzhen with a big belly, Yan Zhaoshi's dark mood finally became clear.
He bent down, leaned over Tian Zhenzhen's belly and listened, and said softly: "Baby son, do you miss your father?"
Tian Zhenzhen rolled her eyes. The pregnant woman's mood was not very stable. In addition, there was an old Mrs. Guo in her family. Tian Zhenzhen was in a bad mood. The little bit of affection for Yan Zhaoshi had long been worn out by Mrs. Guo.
Now she felt disgusted when she saw Yan Zhaoshi!
When she dreamed at midnight, she would think of Cai Bo when she touched her stomach.
Sometimes people are very strange. She once thought she had given up on Cai Bo long ago, otherwise she would not have made up her mind to rely on Yan Zhaoshi.
But it was only a few months before Cai Bo's figure lingered in her heart again.
Cai Bo is young and handsome, and elegant. Not to mention the old and empty Yan Zhaoshi, even Zhang Xiucai and Cai Bo are all the same as each other, and they are incomparable.
The children in the belly grew up day by day, and Tian Zhenzhen's longing for Cai Bo increased day by day.
She began to fantasize that one day, Cai Bo would be on the list of the gold medal. She accidentally learned that he had a son, and Cai Bo would definitely come to find her.
She was so stupid. That day in the inn, she heard that Cai Bo had already married, so she left angrily.
