Chapter 10 The World is unpredictable
Mu Biwei almost looked at the woman of His Highness with breath. The woman was about 20 years old and would be released from the palace in a year or two. However, she followed Ye Hanxi into the palace at this moment, still combing her hair that had not yet left the cabinet. Her appearance was only beautiful, but her eyebrows were quiet, and there was a kind of like magma explosion. A sense of silence.
She was wearing a semi-old plain dress, with a few silver hairpins on her temples, and her polite manner. Mu Bi slightly held back her eagerness, drank the herbal tea prepared early, dismissed the people away, leaving only Ah Shan beside her, and said, "You..."
said a word, and she was thinking about how to ask, but the woman had already said, "Yun Mengru, a daughter of the people, was born in the year of Gaozu. At that time, her family was poor, her aunt Yun Xianger was young and widowed, and her husband's family was uninhabited, and she had no children under her knees. She barely lived together in the daughter's family. At that time, there were a group of palace people in the palace, so she announced the imperial list. , choose. When the daughter entered the palace, the aunt of the daughter of the people reported her name without telling her parents. At that time, because she did not choose the palace concubine, although her aunt was a widow, she was also selected..."
Hearing this, before Mu Biwei said anything, Ye Hanxi was already anxious to jump - this Yun Mengru found her in Baling's other profession three years ago, and only wanted to tell her that there was someone else who caused the loss of Xuelan Pass. It was definitely not the negligence of Mu Qi and other generals and soldiers. Compared with his father and brother who had been imprisoned, but he did not come out of the palace because he entered the palace. Mu Biwei came, and Ye Hanxi and the traitor were really a deep blood feud. However, no matter how they asked in the past two years, Yun Mengru insisted on seeing Mu Biwei before she was willing to say. She didn't expect that it would be easy to enter the palace. Mu Biwei was right in front of her. Yun Mengru didn't mention Xuelanguan, but just talked about her own experience.
Ye Hanxi said anxiously, "I know that your mother died of illness and went to the northwest. You don't want to be kicked out of the house - you're serious!"
Yun Mengru smiled indifferently and said, "Ye girl, don't worry. Aren't you talking about it now? What I told you before was just to avoid the important things!"
"Cold evening, don't be impatient." Mu Bi thought a little, handed Ye Hanxi a comforting look and said to Yun Mengru, "You come forward."
Yun Mengru answered and did not refuse. A Shan hurriedly moved an embroidered stool to Mu Biwei and sat down with her. Yun Mengru continued: "After entering the palace, her aunt has never served a nobleman, but she has been serving in the internal department. At that time, there was another supervisor. Today, Lei Mo, the current supervisor, is also a supervisor in the inner department. Her aunt is under her hands, and also It is quite under the care of the supervision of Lei. It is not fashionable to entrust someone to send some money and silk home to subsidize the people's family. Thanks to the people's aunt, the people's brother can still read a few words - the people's daughter knows a little documents, which is also taught by her brother - but soon after, the news suddenly came out in the palace that her aunt was sick, and the people's parents were worried and immediately came. It is said that my aunt died of illness, and within half a year, the parents of the daughter also died violently!"
Ye Hanxi was stunned. Mu Biwei and A Shan had been in the palace for a long time and immediately asked, "What year was this?"
"It was the next year after Gaozu Pang Guifei was demoted." Yunmeng said calmly.
Mu Bi frowned slightly, but Ye Hanxi grew up in the northwest. Although she was dedicated to revenge, she was not clear about the government and the opposition. She asked blankly, "What happened that year?"
"Rong Hua Niang doesn't know?" Ah Shan whispered solemnly, "Gaozu had not yet established a prince at that time, but he already had the idea of being a former emperor. Pang Guifei wanted to compete for the throne for her son, King Jiqu. After the incident, she was expelled by Gaozu. The King of Jiqu was also demoted to a remote place by Gao Zu. He didn't want the king of Jiqu to incite the border army the next year to take advantage of Gaozu and his family members to escape the hot spring mountain to escape the summer heat. , he wanted to kill Gaozu, but he was defeated by the Yecheng army outside Yedu!
"Although Gaozu did not bear to kill the king of Jiqu and put him under house arrest, when he pursued the remaining people, he found that the king of Jiqu was able to incite the army of the border gate. Someone in the palace helped him forge the edict of Gaozu's throne and other things, so that the border gate mistakenly thought that Gaozu had already been kidnapped by the former emperor, so he followed him to riot! Therefore, Emperor Gaozu cleaned the palace and gave death to Pang Guifei. Not to mention that many palace people in the palace were given to death, so the palace was short of people, so he issued a list to recruit people, and even the widows were not restrained.
Yun Mengru heard this and nodded slightly: "That's right!"
Ye Hanxi said urgently, "So the sudden death of your aunt and parents is related to the king of Jiqu?"
"After my aunt fell ill, although the people's family was sad, they did not doubt it." Yun Mengru still said from the beginning, "unless until the parents of the people's daughter also died suddenly, because they were not in the palace, they died in front of the people's daughter and brother. Moreover, the people's daughter's brother was slightly literate because of their aunt's beauty, and they also learned some simple medical science with their husband. At that time, they saw that their parents' faces were purple and their lips turned black. He was suspicious and tested with a silver hairpin when no one was around. When he saw that the silver hairpin turned black, his brother realized that the people's parents were poisoned for people!
"Since it is found that it has been poisoned, it does not understand why the people's family has never had any hatred. Why did they encounter such a flying disaster, but as a child, they will never know that their parents died, but they will not investigate." Yun Mengru said calmly, "And it was winter at that time, and the elder brother found an excuse not to bury his parents for the time being, and secretly sent the people's daughter to the house of his friends, but the elder brother thought left and right. He didn't know who the people's daughter's family had offended before he poisoned people. He was worried that the harmed people would continue to come, afraid that the people's daughter would meet at that time. He was harmed, and then took the silver hairpin to the government.
Ye Hanxi said nervously, "Then what?"
"Then a few days after my brother's friend suddenly returned, took two bags of silver, and ordered his eldest son to send his daughter to his family in the northwest - the Ye girl. If I have a place to lie to you, I didn't say everything here. The northwest aunt's family is not my aunt, but my brother's relatives. I just called It's just an aunt." Yun Meng said lightly, "Later, as I told you, the family was fine before. After the people's daughter's brother and son left, the people's daughter was not their real relatives, but they did not drive the people's daughter. In the year when the late emperor ascended the throne, the family wrote to ask the people's daughter's brother to know each other, and deliberately said something for the people's daughter. The marriage..."
Speaking of this, Yun Mengru's eyes have been calm, and there is a magnificent hatred!
"Although the family is not very good to the people's women, they did not deliberately treat them badly. They are not willing to wrong the people's women. After all kinds of unsatisfactory selections, they chose a man named Zeng Sui, who is much older than the people's women. At that time, the elders of the family called the people's women to the front and explained that it was because Although Zeng Sui is old, he has never married a wife, and he is also small and rich. He has no parents in the hall. After crossing the door, he can be the master of the house. Second, he is also a Yedu. If a daughter of the people follow him, she may be able to return to Yedu in the future.
Yun Mengru's words were obviously very uneasy and her tone was a little anxious, but Ye Hanxi was more anxious, but she was pressed by Mu Biwei's eyes and didn't make a sound. Yun Mengru closed her eyes and calmed down before she continued to say, "The people have been eating and living in that family for many years. I knew that something must have happened to my brother, otherwise the acquaintance would not have sent the people's daughter so far! Naturally, I was satisfied with such a home, but I was worried. In addition, when I was young at that time, I thought it would be nice if I could see how that person was--
"The family only married a year ago. She was called Shui Wuyou. She was a very warm-hearted person. After getting the hearts of the people's daughter, the sister-in-law gave a ticket and said that she tried to ask the people's daughter to meet Zeng Sui in advance. She found a ruin day. After wearing the people's clothing, she pretended to be a carriage on the way to the ruins of Zeng Sui. , waiting by the road... At that time, a strong man in his 30 years old came up the road, and the sister-in-law of the Shui family pushed the people's daughter, signaling that it was Zeng Sui. The people's daughter originally looked at him through the curtain. Unexpectedly, the Shui family's sister-in-law was also narrow. Suddenly, she opened the curtain and shouted Zeng Sui. Zeng Sui looked over and saw the sister-in-law of the Shui family. People's daughter!"
Yun Mengru clenched her fists and gradually turned pale and said, "At that time, the people's daughter was very shy. She didn't expect that Zeng Sui saw the people's daughter, but she screamed in surprise and said... 'Yun Xianger'!"
"When the daughter's aunt entered the palace, the daughter was only four or five years old, so after living in the northwest for many years, she actually didn't remember her aunt's appearance, but she would never forget her name. At that time, the daughter was naturally surprised!" Yun Mengru said slowly, "After many years of shelter, once I heard the news of my relatives, I knew that my aunt was dead, but I also wanted to know some news from Zeng Sui, so I didn't care about shyness and ran out of the carriage to ask him."
Mu Bi said slightly, "Then what?"
"Then Zeng Sui and other women got out of the carriage and realized that they had recognized the wrong person, so they smiled and said that he was wrong. The women said that the aunt of the people was Yun Xianger, who served in the palace in the past and asked him that they knew each other." Yun Mengru sneered and said, "Zuo Sui was very surprised to hear that the Taoist daughter is so similar to her aunt's birth... But she also asked how can the marriage be decided by the husband of the sister-in-law of the Shui family in this northwest?"
"At that time, the people's daughter was also confused. Since Zeng Sui knew the people's aunt, why didn't she know about the people's daughter's family?"
Yun Mengru bit his lip and was able to continue to say, "As a result, after Zeng Sui heard from her daughter that her aunt died in the palace, her parents also died of illness, which seemed extremely astonishment. At that time, she casually said - 'Wasn't your aunt chosen to be the account of the prince of Anping and enter the prince's mansion to enjoy wealth'!"
"When she said this, the woman was surprised, but Zeng Sui also came to her senses and immediately found an excuse to leave in a hurry, and didn't even go to the ruins. A few days later, the news came that since the Taoist daughter is his old junior, this marriage is not very reliable. It's like admitting the people's daughter as a niece... The family that adopted the people's daughter is extremely lost. Wang, I asked the sister-in-law about the situation. Because the sister-in-law of the Shui family wore a newly made skirt that day, she thought that the ground was dirty and did not get out of the car. She had never heard the words of the people's daughter and Zeng Sui. She felt that most of the people's attitude was too frivolous at that time, which made Zeng Sui not happy and complained about the people's daughter, and did not intend to propose marriage for the people's daughter for a while.
"When the woman heard Zeng Sui's words at that time, how could she think about marriage again? At that time, I was thinking about how to ask him again. I didn't want to ask again. After a few days, the sister-in-law of the Shui family told the people's daughter regretfully that Zeng Sui had moved away to another place. Originally, the elders wanted to say more, but since they had left, they could only give up. The sister-in-law of the Shui family also comforted the people's daughter a few words, but the people's daughter was just a little suspicious. Zeng Sui was so As soon as you move, how can the people's women sit still?"
Yun Mengru sneered, "The people's daughter slipped out of that family and inquired around. At least he found Zeng Sui, who had moved to the neighboring town, but he refused to speak. He only said that he had been in the Yecheng army and had been in the palace for several months, so he met several people in the inner department, including the aunt of the daughter. Later, he Not on duty in the palace, I accidentally heard that my aunt was elected as the prince of Anping - at that time, the former emperor had not ascended the throne, and today's king of Anping is still a prince. According to the system of this dynasty, the kings are all maids of honor who have been appointed. Even if they are not favored, most of them will be raised to old age. Naturally, the family is rich! However, he later made a mistake in the Yecheng Army and was sentenced to be assigned to the northwest for two years. After the expiration of the period, he lived in the northwest because of the death of Yedu's parents and had no intention to return, but the people next to him did not know - for the sake of his aunt, he gave the daughter a sum of money, and said that he could not help him, and also hinted that the women should not look too much. Ask the bottom, hey, if you don't ask the bottom, why do the people run out from the people who adopted the people to look for him and ignore their daughter's reputation?!"
"The people and women used the money given by Zeng Sui to save money all the way back to Yedu. Because they thought that he sympathized and avoided the attitude of the people and women, they did not dare to go directly to their old neighbors, let alone disturb their brother's acquaintances. When they hesitated about how to inquire about their brother and those years, they suddenly thought of playing with their brothers when they were young. In the place of the collection, I looked over when no one was there... but I accidentally found a letter!"
Speaking of this, Yun Mengru did not shy away from the three people in the room. She got up and undressed, and took out a letter paper wrapped in oil paper from the close-fitting clothes and solemnly handed it to Mu Biwei!
