Chapter 450: Business cannot be done without righteousness
Warm summer sun.
The shaded area under the porch is not in the sun, and the summer flowers in the garden are blooming just right.
Lin Yunyan and Zhu Xiang walked around from the flower hall to the backyard, where they sat in the pavilion and looked at the flowers.
Perhaps having settled something, Zhu Xiang felt much more relaxed. He sipped a piece of bean paste cake and turned to laugh at Lin Yunyan: "You still eat it so sweetly."
"Sweet ones are delicious." Lin Yunyan said with a smile.
She was in the side hall earlier and could hear some voices in the main hall.
However, her hearing was limited and she could not hear as clearly as Xu Jian, but with her understanding of Zhu Xiang, Lin Yunyan could roughly guess what was said.
Seeing how relaxed Zhu Xi was at this moment, Lin Yunyan also knew that Yu Chengan was not messing around.
"He's quite a decent person." She praised him.
Zhu Xiang smiled.
Decent.
It’s a very simple two words, but not everyone can do it.
She was obviously only a teenager, but she had already seen too many disgraceful things.
Now that I think about it, what happened before was like a dream, but it was not a dream.
Of course, in order to achieve her goal, she will actually use some extraordinary means.
After all, there are many aspects to the matter. When you encounter a bastard, you are really making things difficult for yourself by trying to be decent with the other party.
If something can be settled decently and harmoniously, it is a blessing in itself.
"Master Yu is a good man," Zhu Xiang said.
She is a good friend in the boudoir, and she doesn’t hide anything when she talks. She thought about it and said: "Looks like he is a playboy who does not do business all day long. His behavior is not brainless or one-sided. I am not the one who arranged the honorable young master.
, it’s too much of a mess.”
Lin Yunyan also laughed when she heard this.
This is really a true statement.
Many people see the scenery and the moon on the outside, but they can't even look at it on the inside.
Like Su Ke, didn't the eldest sister suffer in the past and was deceived, and could only have her teeth knocked out and her blood swallowed?
In this comparison, Yu Chengan, who only loves fighting cocks and crickets, can really be considered "upright".
As long as this person has some messy problems, Xu Jian will not have much contact with him.
"Just now I refused to be so direct, but now I'm talking about his merits," Lin Yunyan rolled her eyes and teased, "Are you saying that 'business cannot be done without justice'?"
Zhu Chuan was amused and said: "If it were the same as before, we would be a good match.
Compared to being married to an inexplicable young man by an elder, I prefer Yu Chengan.
It's just that this time, that time.
I would nod at that time, but he might not like me who was almost driven crazy.
He is interested in the current Miss Yu's cousin, but I am no longer required by my elders to marry into the Duke's house, so naturally I don't want to have anything to do with the children of the aristocratic family."
"Seek truth from facts," Lin Yunyan laughed at her for a few words, and finally said, "As long as you figure it out, it's not as important as you figuring it out yourself."
In the next few days, Grandma Zhu did not come to visit again.
The two aunts from the Yu family looked at Zhu Xiang's half-opened window and gathered together to whisper.
"It seems that we have made it clear to the other party that they are not coming."
"It's okay if you don't come," the second aunt sighed, "Since A-chan doesn't have that intention, we will be embarrassed if they come back."
"You are soft-spoken when you eat people, and soft-handed when you take others. So, Mammy Zhu, please be polite. I'm embarrassed to let people turn away from you," said the third aunt, "But when people come into the house, A-chan doesn't respond. On the contrary, she looks like
We are using Qiao to deliberately whet people's appetites, but I am also in a dilemma, no matter what I do, I feel it is not comprehensive enough!"
"That's the truth," the second aunt said, "Since we are not meant to be together, we should break up early and have a good time. There will be no rumors, and it will not delay us, A-chan, from talking about getting married in the future."
When the third aunt heard this, she looked sad again: "I'm worried about Ah Chan's marriage. To put it lightly, it seems that we are careless and bully her as an orphan. To put it too high, we don't have the ability to help her."
She said it to higher places!
Second sister-in-law, tell me, how many people do we know in total?
It's not that I'm being shameless, but if you really want to calculate it, the Bao'an Marquis Mansion is already a very good family despite being a high-ranking family hereditary.
On our own, can we find a better husband than the young master of the Hou Mansion to come back to Ah Chan?
Besides, if you can get married, you can help the family to some extent..."
When the second aunt heard this, she hurriedly covered her sister-in-law's mouth to prevent her from saying, "Why are you talking about this now? No fate means no fate, and it's not sweet if you twist it!"
I know you're worried about your family, but I'll forget about hearing these words. You must stop saying them.
Aunt’s lesson.
To put it bluntly, we are in decline. The more powerful the in-laws are, and the more ruthless they are, the more we can only run around!
As for my aunt, if the Zhu family hadn't caused something they shouldn't have caused and were dealt with by the Holy Spirit, we would have been given the opportunity to play a role. If his family had not committed treason, my aunt and A-chan would still be suffering now.
!”
The third aunt quickly pulled her hand from her mouth and kept telling her not to talk nonsense.
When the second aunt let go, the third aunt hurriedly promised: "I'm not a bastard who sells his sons and daughters. How can I know good and evil? You know me, but sometimes I always want to dream.
!”
The second aunt smiled bitterly.
Dream!
Who doesn’t love to dream? She loves it too!
Today, I dreamed that my husband made a lot of money in business. Tomorrow, I dreamed that my uncle would be in office and his fortune would turn around. His career would be prosperous. The day after, I would dream that one person would become enlightened, and chickens and dogs would ascend to heaven.
But dreams are temporary, and people are always awake and know what they can and cannot do.
"We agreed that the matter of guarding the Marquis' Mansion is over now, and don't talk about it in the future. We won't cause trouble for others, and we won't cause trouble for ourselves."
Sister-in-law, you comforted me and I encouraged you, and finally you adjusted your mentality.
No longer mentioned in the family, the old Marquis and his wife still found some clues at the Baoan Hou Mansion.
Aunt Zhu is the dowry wife of Mrs. Baoan Hou. The master and servant have known each other for decades and the relationship is extremely close.
When Yu Chengan was a child, he was smart and motivated. His grandmother, who was separated from him a generation ago, liked him so much that she assigned Aunt Zhu to take care of him. Little did she know that this boy was getting worse every year and ended up with a playboy temperament.
After all, he was Yaosun, Hun returned to Hun, and he didn't go to the extent of causing trouble. Mrs. Hou was angry and annoyed, and finally accepted it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yao Sun Hun is always hundreds of times stronger than his eldest son Sun Hun, right?
Fighting cocks and crickets is a thousand times better than hanging out in flowers to give her a great-grandchild, right?
That’s it then!
Marquis Bao Bao not only admired his old wife's self-comfort, but also boasted about his beard and commented that "the general is the best among the dwarfs", but there was really not much he could do against Yu Cheng'an.
Making progress must come from the heart.
If you don't have that kind of character, no matter how tight the people around you are, they will eventually break up and become dissatisfied with each other.
In the past two years, Mrs. Hou did not hope that Yu Chengan would change his gender, but she would not ignore it completely. At least she could not let it go until one day her grandson went astray and the whole family was still kept in the dark, so from time to time she still
I'll ask Grandma Zhu to reply.
Madam Hou was aware of the fact that Nanny Zhu went out frequently during this month.
When Madam Hou asked about it, Nanny Zhu did not hide it for Yu Chengan. She just asked Ping to withdraw from the others and report to Madam Hou alone.
"The girl from the Zhu family? The one from the British government?" Madam Hou was very surprised, "It's strange! All he can think about is the sound of crickets, and he still knows what the girl's parents look like?"
Aunt Zhu couldn't laugh or cry: "If he thinks about girls' families, you will be even more annoyed."
"That's true!" Mrs. Hou sighed.
An idle young man from the Hou family is doomed if his head is full of thoughts about girls' strengths and weaknesses.
She might not know one day when she would have to kneel outside the Cining Palace and accuse herself of "not being able to educate her children well."
"From what I can see, Miss Zhu has excellent appearance, temperament and moral character," Mammy Zhu praised. "The most important thing is that she has a clear mind."
After Mrs. Hou heard the whole story, she also said: "She is a good girl, but she is too stupid to be worthy of her!"
Madam Hou knew it, and so did the security guard.
The next day, Yu Chengan was called into the study by his grandfather.
There were only two people, grandparents and no outsiders. The security guard said very rudely: "Look, isn't it embarrassing?"
Yu Chengan touched the tip of his nose.
"I told you a long time ago that I need to make more progress when I'm still young, but you turned a deaf ear!" said the security guard, "Okay now, the girl you like just doesn't like you!
If it were me, I wouldn't promise my girl to you!
What kind of good girl listens to you all day long that a cricket is longer than a grasshopper?"
Yu Chengan blushed after being scolded, but he still couldn't help but want to laugh: "Grandpa, maybe there are girls who like crickets as long as grasshoppers as short as grasshoppers?"
"Bah! Just give me some color and open a dyeing workshop!" the security guard scolded, "You are so clever, but I don't see you paying attention to other girls. You have only been interested in Zhu Zhu for so many years.
Bloom?"
Yu Cheng felt happy: "Indeed, Miss Zhu is very good."
"Okay, does it have anything to do with you? You kid can't reach a higher level!" The security guard said, "As long as you look good, I'll put my old face on you and ask someone to give you a blowjob, but you're just such a fool.
So, I really can’t do anything about it!
Zhu Xiang is not a soft persimmon. The girl who can send the young and old of the Zhu family on their way with her mother's memorial tablet in her arms has such a tough temper!
Fortunately, you kid has a clear head and doesn't mess around."
Yu Chengan was scolded, but he didn't feel angry at all.
Seeing that he was still smiling playfully, the security guard asked with a sullen face: "Can you still laugh?"
"I just thought of Xu Jian," Yu Cheng'an said, "He mentioned it that day and said that you should appreciate Miss Zhu."
"Appreciate it, why don't you appreciate it?!" the security guard said, clasping his hands behind his back, "You are not good at anything else, but you have a very good eye for seeing people!"
Yu Chengan pursed his lower lip.
He felt it too.
After hearing what Zhu Xiang said last time, he just stopped letting Aunt Zhu go to Yu's house, but it didn't mean that he had lost his mind.
He is serious about emotional matters, so how can he break it off immediately?
I just know how to measure and advance and retreat, and it only exists in my own heart and does not disturb Zhu Xian.
Normally, I wouldn't feel particularly uncomfortable if I didn't think about it. But now that my grandfather said such a long list, my mind was filled with tears and I felt really uncomfortable.
But it’s not comfortable, so I can only bear it by myself.
He shrugged and put on a relaxed look: "Not only do I have a good eye for people, I also have an excellent eye for crickets."
The security guard was either really angry or not angry. He picked up the feather duster on the shelf next to him and patted the grandson twice: "Get out, get out!"
Yu Chengan took advantage of the situation and exited the house, taking three steps and then two steps out of the house.
When he came to his senses, he was already standing in front of a large mansion.
This was the former British Crown House.
The two mansions were not far apart, so he walked here casually.
Since the confiscation, the former Duke's Mansion has declined greatly, and there is still a seal on the door.
Yu Chengan looked around and saw no passers-by in the alley. He simply turned over, crossed the courtyard wall, and landed inside the wall.
The scene inside became increasingly messy and desolate.
Yu Chengan did not go inside, but walked around the screen wall and looked at the front yard and hall.
The flowers and trees have long since disappeared, overgrown with weeds, and the old lanterns have fallen to the ground, leaving only their skeletons exposed to the wind and sun.
But just such a corner has cut off the prosperity of the past, leaving only the decay of today.
Yu Chengan stood and watched for a long time.
Sometimes my mind was empty, and sometimes many thoughts appeared. The poems I had memorized in my childhood flashed through my mind, and finally disappeared.
Only when the sunset on the horizon shed red light, giving the dilapidated scenery a layer of brilliant color, did Yu Chengan come back to his senses.
He wiped his face, took a deep breath as if waking up from a dream, and exhaled it slowly.
After a long time, he took advantage of the darkness to fall and successfully got out of the British mansion.
Walking out of this quiet alley, the connected streets are bustling with activity.
The roar of people poured into the ears, and it was noisy and completely different from the cries of crickets.
Yu Chengan walked in the direction of Baoan Hou Mansion without any hurry.
Perhaps, he should go see Xu Jian again tomorrow and get some advice.
This Yu Cheng'an thought very well, but suddenly, he had no chance to see Xu Jian for a whole day.
After the morning court, Xu Jian was called to the imperial study room.
Because the situation over at Gu Yue is not very optimistic.
Even though they have been in alliance with Gu Yue for many years, they still have to be wary of others. Dashun always has hidden stakes in Gu Yue to prevent Gu Yue from rebelling and making any changes.
This time Li Du absconded and contacted Su Yi. In addition to asking Yumen and other passes to be more vigilant, the Holy One also had to ask the hidden stakes to pay attention to Gu Yue's situation.
After Prince Ping proposed "inciting rebellion", Hidden Stake would also try this idea.
Before dawn today, the message from that box was hurriedly delivered to the emperor.
Xu Jian took the text message from Eunuch Cao and frowned after reading it.
Gu Yue's situation has been really not quite right in recent times.
"According to this," Xu Jian thought about it and said, "Su Yi still takes the greatest credit for the stability of Dashun and Gu Yue?"
As a small country outside the Pass, Gu Yue is not of the same mind inside.
There are those who do not want to start a war and just want to strengthen contacts with Dashun and balance the surrounding relations; there are also those who want to follow the example of Xiliang and rely on war to expand.
No matter what kind of agreement Su Yi originally reached with Li Du, at least on the surface, Su Yi fell into the former category.
But now, with Li Du's accident, Su Yi seems to have lost his support and trust, unable to suppress his dissidents, and is about to fail due to infighting.
"Once Su Yi fails, Gu Yue will unite with Xiliang to march eastward," Xu Jian took a breath and shook his head, "Your Majesty, I think that Su Yi wanted to march westward."
