The Fourth Master looked at the two cloaks sent by his aunt and frowned. He had seen the exact same clothes on Jin Shouren. When he was out, he asked for two clothes that didn't fit. What do you mean?
?
"You said, Madam specially sent someone to get it back quickly?" Fourth Master looked at Guixi in disbelief.
Guixi nodded: "That's right! The little button in Madam's yard said it."
The purpose of sending people back to Beijing quickly was to pick up a box of clothes. Then why didn't they just bring their own clothes, but they brought the wrong sizes? They were all made according to Jin Shouren's size.
This is wrong.
Fourth Master pointed to the clothes: "Put them away exactly as they are and lock them up." He wanted to see what the lady wanted to hide.
He shook his head. Some people do things in a cover-up manner without realizing it, which makes everyone watching feel anxious in their hearts.
While packing her clothes, Guixi whispered back: "The prince has been in the madam's room and hasn't come out until now."
The fourth master nodded. It seemed that something he didn't know happened today at Ci'an Temple, and it was related to the cloak. Could it be that the cloak was given to Qi Duoer by Jin Shouren? Otherwise, why would Mrs. Chu be so anxious to cover it up?
?
"Confused!" Fourth Master did not think that Qi Duoer was his fiancée, nor did he realize that he had been cuckolded. Instead, he objectively commented on Jin Shouren.
Just as he was thinking about it, Guiwu opened the door and walked in. When Guixi saw it, he knew that he had something to say. He neatly put away all his clothes, took the small clay stove and went to the door to boil water, make tea, and guard the door.
Seeing Guixi go out and close the door, Gui Wucai whispered: "Young Master, I asked about two things, both about the Lin family."
Fourth Master put down the book in his hand: "You are quite clever. Tell me."
Gui Wu whispered: "The Qi family's wife and the Qi family's girl also came to Shuiyun Temple. They arrived at night. Another thing... is even more strange. Uncle Lin's personal entourage sent someone
The person who bought Shuiyun Temple wants to send a message to Prince Heng’s concubine..."
"You can find out this news?" Fourth Master looked at Gui Wu with admiration.
Gui Wu scratched his head in embarrassment, "Knowing the young master's thoughts, I naturally have to spend my energy paying attention to the Lin family." If you only focus on one family, you can find out when he farted. There has never been anything in the world that can withstand investigation.
thing.
The fourth master didn't care how Guiwu did it, he was curious about how Lin Changgen contacted Prince Heng's concubine. If he was part of Prince Heng's party, there was nothing he couldn't say to Prince Heng, and he got involved in the back house.
What was he doing here? He was confused. He frowned and asked, "What is the origin of this concubine?" If the origin of this concubine is related to the Lin family, it would make sense.
Guiwu seemed very surprised that the Fourth Master didn't know about this concubine: "You really haven't heard of it at all?"
Is a man who doesn't know that someone else's little wife deserves to make such a fuss?
Guiwu saw the answer on Fourth Master's face and immediately became excited: "This concubine is a very famous person. It is said that when Prince Heng was the grandson of the emperor, he was young and romantic. Once, he had a dream at night,
I dreamed of a fairy, and I knew each other in the dream, and we had been together for hundreds of years. But I didn’t expect that when I woke up from the dream, there was nothing left. No matter how Prince Heng tried to fall into the dream, the dream never appeared. Prince Heng never appeared again.
He also couldn't see the fairy in his dream. But the more he couldn't see it, the more he missed him! Even later, after he married a wife and took a concubine, Prince Heng refused to consummate the marriage and vowed to find this fairy. Later, when the emperor ascended the throne, Heng
The prince turned from grandson to prince. That year, the emperor sent Prince Heng to inspect the south of the Yangtze River. Unexpectedly, he just left the capital and encountered an assassin in an inn beside the Tongzhou Pier. Prince Heng escaped under the cover of his guards.
, got on the boat. The fisherman on the boat blocked an arrow for Prince Heng and was shot to death, leaving only a sixteen-year-old girl rowing a boat to take Prince Heng away. After escaping the pursuing assassin, Prince Heng finally
He was willing to look at this fisherman girl, but he didn't want to be shocked at the first glance. Isn't this girl the fairy in his dream? So, Prince Heng took this girl named Gan..."
"What's your last name?" Fourth Master immediately stopped being careless, sat up and asked, "What's the last name of the fisherman girl you're talking about?"
"My surname is Gan!" Gui Wu put away his excitement about telling the gossip and replied in a low voice.
The fourth master leaned back in his chair. Tongtong's biological mother was also named Gan. As for her appearance, it was not difficult to guess. Although he only took a look at Tongtong's current appearance, he knew that he was indeed worthy of being the king of the country.
Four words. He had a very absurd guess in his mind, so he looked at Guiwu and urged: "Go on."
Seeing that Fourth Master was serious, Guiwu didn't dare to talk as loudly as he did before. He explained sheepishly: "This is all what the storyteller in the teahouse said, and it's probably not accurate..."
"It doesn't matter, you can continue." Fourth Master waved his hands and didn't care at all. There is already a lot of information revealed here. The key is to see if people will listen and whether they have the brains to peel off the cocoons.
Guiwu swallowed his saliva and said: "Prince Heng felt that the dream was to connect him with this girl. This was a marriage destined by God. So he took this girl back to Beijing and knelt down to ask the emperor to enthrone her.
Concubine. For more than ten years, Prince Heng has favored Concubine Gan alone. Even though he has never had children, he has not favored other women. It is said that Princess Heng saw through the world of mortals, established a female concubine in the palace and began to practice. The entire palace
This side concubine is all taking care of it. However, outside, the reputation of this side concubine is not good, and the deceased queen also dislikes Prince Heng's side concubine very much. They all think that this side concubine is a seductive master.
, is not a virtuous person. But Prince Heng doesn’t care. It is said outside that Prince Heng is a beauty but not a king. He knows that he cannot inherit the throne without heirs, but he still goes his own way..." He shook his head and sighed, "Last year, the elder of our family
It was my wife's birthday, and I also saw Prince Heng once. He was really a kind master. The girls spilled soup on Prince Heng's clothes. Not only did he not get angry, he also asked the girl if she was burned. She said it was his fault.
He met the girl himself, and he begged the housekeeper not to make things difficult for the girl. Before leaving, he sent someone to reward her with medicine and silver."
The fourth master couldn't help but smile. The people below thought this person was kind and kind, while the people sitting above thought he had no covetous intentions. From this point of view, Prince Heng was more likely to go up than Prince Duan.
He has now guessed the relationship between Lin Changgen and this concubine. Although he thinks it is very bloody and he does not know the details, what do two people with such a relationship want to say when they talk to each other?
At this point, the only bond between men and women is their children.
He had reason to speculate that it must be related to Tongtong. It seemed that just staring below was not enough, the wind might also be blowing from above.
It was already the next day that Gan received the news from Lin Changgen.
She was surprised at first, and then sneered. What had he done a long time ago? Only now did she think of saying it, was it a little too late? If she hadn't thought that he was the one chasing her, how could she have been plotted by Lin Fanghua so easily.
If there were no accidents, how could we have been trapped in Prince Heng's palace for fifteen years?
A prince who is completely inhumane has just found his stunning self to cover up.
It's not that the prince doesn't favor other women, but that these women can't fall in his eyes. Everyone believes this reason. Isn't there a saying? It's better to have a bite of fairy peaches than a basket of rotten peaches.
No one knows the true face of Prince Heng better than himself.
Aunt He looked around cautiously, and then whispered: "I'm just afraid that something will really happen to the girl..."
Mrs. Gan frowned: "Do you think Prince Heng wants to propose marriage to this child just to make me uncomfortable? Then you really underestimate him. Prince Duan spoke to the Qi family, and Duke Jin gave Prince Duan face.
The Qi family got married. If Prince Heng didn't try Duke Jin, how would he know where Duke Jin's butt is sitting?" As she said that, a stern look appeared on her face, "The younger generation in Duke Jin's mansion.
, there are only four sons. The third son is the legitimate son of the second wife and the nephew of Duke Jin. His parents ordered him to be a matchmaker. If the third son was to be a matchmaker, Duke Jin could refuse with just one sentence. Therefore, this matchmaking,
You can only choose from the son of Duke Jin. The concubine is already engaged, and there is only the crown prince. But the crown prince’s marriage involves too much. If Duke Jin agrees, the investment will be too big. Doesn’t this show a preference for King Heng?
What will the emperor think if he finds out? Does he still dare to ask Duke Jin to command the internal defense? On the other hand, if Duke Jin only cares about the prince's marriage and does not agree to the marriage, wouldn't it be self-defeating for Prince Heng to test like this?
Does the Duke want to break up? Even if he is not upset himself, Duke Jin will feel uncomfortable because he did not give him face. This is not what he wants. Therefore, there is no way to test Duke Jin with the prince's marriage. So,
Only the dead second young master Jin Shouyi is the most suitable candidate. If Jin Guogong doesn't want to betray Prince Heng's face, and just says not to delay the girl, no one can force him. But if Jin Guogong betrays this face, it means that
He himself has no intention of leaning towards any prince for the time being. Prince Heng still has the possibility of wooing him. And this marriage may become a means of wooing..."
"You've got all the girls involved, and you can win over me. I'm going to be a widow for the rest of my life..." Grandma He suddenly became a little excited.
Gan's expression didn't change much, he just said: "Who told you that if you marry a dead man, you will have to remain a widow for the rest of your life?"
"What do you mean?" Grandma He was a little confused for a moment.
A trace of ridicule flashed in Mrs. Gan's eyes: "When it comes time to win over Duke Jin's government, Prince Heng only needs to reveal the relationship between the child and me, and then propose that the son born from this child will be adopted in his name.
Sisun, outsiders firmly believe in his love for me, and Duke Jin will not doubt his words..."
"But the girl doesn't have a husband...how can she give birth to a son?" Aunt He looked at Mrs. Gan in confusion.
"It doesn't matter if you don't have a husband. You can definitely let the prince choose two wives on one shoulder!" Mrs. Gan loosened her clasped hands and said, "Isn't this rare among the people? It's quite a lot! It's the shady marriages of poor families to their children who died young.
What's more, there is nothing wrong with families who have some conditions, using this method to leave some incense for their children who died young. Can Duke Jin not be tempted? Their branch is also a clan, and they are fully qualified to adopt their children. He
If you are tempted, do you think you will cooperate with Prince Heng when it is critical..."
Grandma He's face instantly turned pale: "Girl, she..." has become such a chess piece and tool, "Master, think of a way..."
Mrs. Gan raised her hands and covered her eyes. She didn't close her eyes all night, thinking about what to do about this matter. No matter how amazing she was in the outside world, in fact, she had never been truly free. For a long time,
Then he whispered: "Go and quietly inquire about the concubine of Duke Jin. Then you can make plans..."
"Isn't that bastard engaged to that bitch's daughter?" Nanny He was stunned for a moment before asking.
"So what if we're engaged?" Mrs. Gan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, "Even if we're engaged, we have to find a way to change the person... I'll give that bitch Lin Fanghua's daughter a good future..."
Aunt He took a deep breath and said, "I'll go and find out..."
At this time, Lin Yutong was still unaware of the turbulent undercurrent behind her. She had settled her family affairs and was now free. She asked the housekeeper to pick up a lot of books from outside, including story books, travel notes, and history books.
, there was a lot of miscellaneous things. Lin Yutong picked out the history book, leaned on the couch and read it slowly.
The autumn eyes shone on the person's body through the window, and it was so warm that she really felt a little drowsy.
Just when I was about to doze off, Sanxi came in quietly and whispered: "The big girl is here...she said she wanted to see you."
She just lost her face yesterday, and now she's here again. Lin Yutong wanted to raise her head: "Then please come in." She felt that she was going crazy from the little information this person revealed from time to time.
Lin Yuzhi came in and sat directly next to Lin Yutong. Without saying any greetings, he said bluntly: "I have been having nightmares the past few days..."
"I know that. Doesn't it make you feel better after wearing incense?" Lin Yutong followed her words.
Lin Yuzhi looked at Lin Yutong: "Aren't you curious about what nightmare I had?"
"It's a dream! You can dream of all kinds of strange things, weird things, and ridiculous things." Lin Yutong waved his hand, "Sister, I walk around outside a lot during the day, so I don't have any dreams." You are doing this for free.
!
Lin Yuzhi seemed to not understand Lin Yutong's words, his face became more and more solemn, and he looked at Lin Yutong without blinking: "Have you ever heard of 'ghost husband', second sister?"
Lin Yutong's first reaction was QY. It could be seen that the other party's expression was not that serious, and she immediately realized that the ghost husband she was asking about was really just a ghost husband.
While her heart fell into reality, she couldn't help but wonder, why did she ask such a question? Could it be related to herself?
