The study became quiet, and Su Rong's words echoed in her ears. Yan Hui listened to Su Rong's words and remained silent.
He remembered that he had vaguely met Xie Yuan when he was a child. At that time, the emperor's grandfather was seriously ill. Yes, the emperor's grandfather didn't say anything more. He just stayed silent for a long time, waved his hand, and let people go without stopping him. But after Xie Yuan left, the emperor's grandfather vomited a mouthful of blood. He was so frightened that he cried and called the imperial doctor. The emperor's grandfather stopped him. , wiped the blood with a handkerchief, wiped the tears on his face, and said he was fine.
He was vomiting blood, how could he be okay?
But he was already sensible and did not dare to cry again, asking Grandfather Huang to coax him again.
The imperial grandfather hugged him and sighed, "Xie Yuan is a great talent. It's a pity that I can't do anything to keep him. It's my incompetence."
He didn't understand at that time, so he shook his head repeatedly and said, "Grandpa Huang is not incompetent, Grandpa Huang is the most powerful."
The imperial grandfather shook his head and said, "My imperial grandfather is not very powerful. If he were, he would not have been forced to this point by the Wei Dynasty." He looked old, sighed and resented, "No one can inherit the ambition of my ancestors, but me." It’s a holiday. I’m really sorry.”
He was too young to comfort others, so he only patted the imperial grandfather's back with his small hands.
After a while, the imperial grandfather suddenly stared at him. After a long time, he touched his head and said, "But fortunately, there is still you. Your enlightenment was given to you by me myself. From tomorrow on, you will be enlightened." Qin Mu, let’s be your teacher!”
Qin Mu is Qin Taifu.
He complied obediently.
Later, not long after, the emperor's grandfather passed away and his father ascended the throne. There was a period of turmoil. It was not until two or three years later that Daliang gradually became peaceful. Then two years later, Zhou Gu was killed by the old protector of the country. He was sent to the study room, and the angry gentleman who went to the study room became furious every day. After discussing with the old protector, the father threw Zhou Gu into his east palace.
There was no news about Xie Yuan after he left the capital. It was not until a few years ago that his father sent someone to investigate Su Xu, the prefect of Jiangning, and found out that Xie Yuan was in Jiangning County and became a guest of the prefect of Jiangning.
Unlike his grandfather, who loved his talent as much as his life, his father just shook his head and ignored it.
He often heard Qin Taifu talk about Xie Yuan, and he praised him very much. He said that he had the talent of a minister, and it was a pity to lament.
It was not long ago that he realized what his grandfather meant when he said that there was nothing he could do to leave him.
Princess Zhenmin faked her death and escaped, while Xie Yuan resigned and went into seclusion. One protects Daliang with scars all over his body, while the other abandons his name and goes down in history to protect the other in peace for the rest of his life. Such two people, Daliang at that time, could not protect or keep them.
Su Rong was taught by Xie Yuan since he was a child.
Extremely smart and extremely perceptive.
Yan Huisheng closed his eyes and looked at the two keys that had been removed on the table. He silently picked them up and held them in his hands. After a while, he put them away, stood up, closed the folder, and walked out. .
Qin Luan was standing guard at the door. When he saw Yan Hui's voice coming out, he immediately knelt down and asked, "Do you have any instructions, Your Highness?"
"Have a rest today!" Yan echoed, then turned around and left the study.
Qin Luan was surprised. She raised her head and glanced at the sky. It was an hour earlier than usual. She lowered her head in agreement.
Su Rong returned to Yuzhen Pavilion. After taking a bath, he sat in the painting hall and drank tea.
After Fengling came back, he saw Su Rong sitting in the painting hall drinking tea. His eyes widened, "Master, are you waiting for me?"
It’s so late and I’m still awake. I’m waiting for him. I’m so flattered!
After all, after fighting for food with the master for so long, as long as he slows down his chopsticks, the good food will be gone.
"Yes." Su Rong nodded. She was indeed waiting for Fengling and waved to him, "Come, drink tea."
Fengling sat down and took some tea to drink, "It's late at night, even if it's good tea, you can't drink too much. If you drink too much, you won't be able to sleep."
Although he said this, he still took the tea and drank it in one gulp, and asked Su Rong, "Master stayed up and waited for me. Does he want to know where I went tonight?"
"Well, is the capital fun?" Su Rong asked.
"I don't know what it's like during the day, but at night
Yes, it's not very fun. Except for the brothels and restaurants open, it's not lively at all. I met several waves of people from the city patrol department. Apart from anything else, the security was really strict and worthy of being at the feet of the emperor. If I hadn't been good at martial arts, I would have been caught and questioned by the patrol department if I was wandering around the streets at night. Fengling shook his head, "But Master Wangsun doesn't have this burden anymore. He walks struttingly on the street with a jade pendant hanging around his waist that represents his identity. Everyone in the city inspection department knows them and basically doesn't question them, but ordinary people just No way, I’m afraid that staying up late at night will cause trouble.”
"Going to the guest house?" Su Rong nodded.
"I'm going." Fengling lowered her voice and said, "The sales of Zuihuayin are really good. Ever since we entered the capital, the supply has been in short supply, and now it's out of stock again. There are really many rich people in the capital. The shopkeeper asked me to tell you , he sold all the batch of Baihua Brewing that you sent to Beijing, and said that you wanted to give it as a gift, so please wait for the next batch! This gift will be given a few days later."
Su Rong stared, "How could he sell it to me?"
Fengling immediately said: "Have you ever said before that the world is big and the money is the most profitable? The shopkeeper said that the eldest prince and the second prince came to the door that day and specified that they wanted drunken flowers and drinks. The store was out of stock. The two men looked disgusted. Happy, especially the second prince, who has a face that wants to welcome guests to the restaurant if he doesn’t have good wine. He had no choice but to take out your Baihua Nong, and then, after the two people drank it, they took that batch The Baihua Brewing is all wrapped up."
Fengling held out three fingers and said, "The shopkeeper sold the three hundred taels per jar for fifteen thousand taels of silver. He said that with this money, he will be able to open another store in the capital soon."
Su Rong: "..."
She was suddenly speechless, "Okay!"
She was originally going to give this batch of wine to the prince as a meeting gift, but now that she had sold it for money, she had no choice but not to give it as a gift. Anyway, it was the eldest prince and the second prince's money that was earned. If the prince knew about it, he should feel that it was not a loss.
"I also walked around outside the walls of the Protector's Mansion. The Protector's Mansion is really big." Fengling sighed, "Master, if you marry into the Protector's Mansion, it will actually be quite good. There should be delicious food too. It’s good to drink and live in. In my opinion, it’s no worse than the East Palace.”
"The Protector's Palace is naturally no worse than the East Palace. When Princess Sheng'an married into the Protector's Palace, it is said that instead of building the Princess's Palace, the money spent on building the Princess's Palace was used to expand the Protector's Palace." Su Rong Zai While recuperating from his injuries, he not only learned about the history of Southern Chu, but also learned about the fortune of the Protectorate.
"That's it!" Fengling didn't study as much as Su Rong, so he didn't know much about it, so he just said that he looked really impressive, not inferior to Dong Gong.
He said: "I didn't dare to sneak into the Protector's Mansion for fear of being discovered. I just sat on the wall of the Protector's Mansion. There was a courtyard. Before I left, the lights were still on. I guessed it was Zhou. The young master’s yard, after all, he has to take the scientific examination, so he is probably studying.”
Su Rong nodded.
Fengling said again: "I went to the Official Minister's Mansion and walked around again, but I didn't dare to get too close. There are guards inside and outside the Official Master's Mansion, and it's very strict."
He said strangely: "The guards in these two mansions are comparable to those of the Imperial Palace and the East Palace. I took a look at the other mansions and it was different. Except for the Prince's Mansion, the guards were sparse. If you go in and stay for half a night, no one will be able to find out." I."
Su Rongxiao said, "The Duke Protector's Mansion is the gate of the general. There should be military and defensive plans hidden in the mansion. Naturally, no one can easily break in and steal it. It must have always been heavily guarded. As for the Mansion of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it should be because my brother lives there. Once we got in, the protection was tighter. Didn’t my brother’s last letter say that Zhou Gu had sent extra guards around him?”
Fengling whispered: "Young Master Zhou is really kind to you, and he even cares about the safety of the eldest master. Are you really willing to break off the engagement?"
Su Rong glared at him, "This is something I have decided a long time ago. Don't blow wind in my ears to shake my will."
"Okay!" Fengling thought to herself, your will is so strong that no one can shake it. I hope you can be so straightforward when you break off the engagement.
He saw two keys placed in front of Su Rong and wondered, "Why are there two keys?"
Su Rong said "Oh" with a normal tone, "It's the key to the dark cubicle in the prince's study. It's convenient for me to check the information. Please hold it for me first."
Fengling was surprised, "Master, the Prince's Palace
I trust you so quickly? "
It has only been two days since the master and His Highness the Crown Prince truly knew each other. Why did the Crown Prince trust the Master so quickly? Is it because of her true identity? The relationship between cousins is impossible, right?
Su Rong stood up, put the key in his arms, and said solemnly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a keen eye, and he is not suspicious of others when he employs them. It's late, go to bed!"
Fengling: "..."
Have a nice weekend, see you tomorrow~
