Chapter 3 Xu Qinghen
The night is already very deep, but Yuan Xiu has still not fallen asleep. He picked blue and green to serve on the side, and the lights around him are brilliant. Yuan Xiu is slowly checking the account book in front of him.
Cai Lan looked at the copper leak in the corner of the room and persuaded him, "It's too late. Let's go to bed early."
"No, I'm not sleepy yet." Yuan Xiu shook her head. Under the light, her eyes were bright and she did not look sleepy, but the golden sand in the copper pot was about to bottom out again.
Cai Lv quietly touched her. Seeing that Yuanxiu didn't pay attention, he whispered, "The son-in-law hasn't come back yet. The A family will definitely refuse to sleep first. It's been like this these days. Why do you have to persuade her again? Why don't you go out and ask the chef to make something nourishing?
"Wake up here." Cai Lan thought so. He sighed in his heart and went out gently. A blue gauze lamp hung on the corridor outside the door every few steps. Although it was evening, he was not afraid to see the path clearly. Cai Lan only walked a few steps, but saw a long figure floating on his face. The wide robe and big sleeves were blown by the night wind, which was fing.
When Cai Lan saw this man, he was relieved and bowed and saluted, "Is Ma Ke back?"
Du Furi has seen the lights in the door, waved his hand to get up, and whispered, "What is Ahuang doing?"
"A family is reading the account book." Cai Lan said, "I went to the kitchen to find some soup. Do you want one too?"
"It's okay." Du Furi said gently that the eldest princess of Yuanxiu is the direct aunt of Emperor You today, and he is also the nephew of Du Qingtang, the regent. Therefore, although it is generally the eldest princess's mansion, Emperor Tianyou is particularly preferential to the eldest princess Yuanxiu's mansion. The lights on the corridor are very bright, reflecting the fatigue on his face.
Cai Lan led the order and left. Du Furi entered the door alone. The first Yuanxiu was just calculating the key point and didn't notice him coming in. He picked the green and waited to speak, but he saw Du Furi. After a silent gesture, he stopped the sound, but moved the position behind Yuanxiu and let Du Furi walk over and kneel down.
Yuan Xiu pinched the calculation and checked it carefully. He subconsciously wanted to rub his forehead, but suddenly stretched out a pair of hands behind him and gently pressed it down for her.
The familiar aroma of millet rushed into his nose and suddenly felt refreshed. Yuan Xiu was not surprised. Instead, he leaned back and said with a trace of fatigue, "When did you come back? I didn't notice it."
"Is this the palace account?" Du Furi asked first, and then said, "I came in when you lined up the penultimate one."
Yuan Xiu leaned on his chest and closed his eyes and said, "It's the bill of the treasury in the palace. I have nothing to do - Qiu Fengxiang has been in charge of this bill for a long time. At the beginning, the Guo family was confiscated. Although there must be an old department, he must have an industry, but he can actually compete with his uncle for many years. I'm afraid he will make money. Dao, there may be some clues here in the inner library.
Du Furi saw that she looked tired and felt pity. He kissed her on the temples and said gently, "Yan Jiuhuai has gone to Jiannan, and Qiu Shi Niang also said that he would never come back. Why worry about it? Just hand these things over to me."
"What Qiu Sixiniang said is not accurate." Yuan Xiu opened his eyes and smiled, get back together to refresh his mind, and said, "Yan Jiuhuai is a person with a personality. He grew up in the market, and the spirit of the market is extremely heavy. Qiu Fengxiang is his father. Even if this matter is put down for a while, it is difficult to say in the future. After all, he is still young..." At this point, she sighed and continued, "I don't want to kill him. After all, he is my cousin. My grandfather's family has such a little blood. It's just that the old department of the Guo family found a few people in Chang'an, which was told by Qiu Sixteen Niang. From the Duke of Fenyang County and passed through my mother's aunt, the Empress Dowager Guo, the history is certainly not as good as the five surnames and seven families and your Du family. It's been a long time, but it's not too much to say anything pervasive in Chang'an or Guanzhong.
Du Furi was silent, and of course, the Guo family was not as profound as the Du family. However, in the Anshi Rebellion, Guo Lao Linggong Kuangfu Sheji came to emerge. His son was still a nobleman, and his daughters also married into the high gate one after another, and his granddaughters were the later empress dowager - at that time, the Guo family was prosperous, looking at it alone. Later, Wang Taiqing, who was in chaos, could have a glimpse of one or two. Wang Taiqing was just a servant beside the Empress Dowager Guo. Because he was ordered by the Empress Dowager to serve Emperor Huaizong, he gradually took charge of the government. After the Empress Dowager's departure, no one in the royal family could control it, and even controlled the life and death of the sons of Emperor Huaizong was in his hands.
Otherwise, how could Guo Shilang, the only one who escaped during the martyrdom of the Guo family, rely on his own body and after he was found infilt the palace, not only forced Xianzong and Du Qingtang to do anything about him at his heyday, but even the military power of the Shen Ce Forbidden Army was taken away by him?
If it hadn't been for Du Qingtang and Xianzong's methods, I'm afraid that Guo Shilang would not hesitate to join hands with the towns of Hebei and avenge the Guo family. He would have commanded 400,000 forbidden troops to break through Chang'an and burn down the palace.
"Yan Lang's personality is indeed a little fierce, but now he is with his master. Master was extremely murderous when he was young, but he became more and more compassionate when he was old and would definitely look at him." Du Furi gently persuaded, "The Guo family now only has a little bloodline. No matter how unwilling he is, he will always try to continue the bloodline. After a few years, he will marry and have children and settle down in Jiannan, and there will also be ties. I'm afraid that he will end his revenge."
Yuan Xiu smiled and whispered anguly, "I see that you have been busy all day, and it's rare to think of one thing that can help you - after all, I remember more or less when I went to the palace mentioned in this bill." Speaking of this, Yuanxiu sighed slightly and didn't say what he wanted to say - if Mrs. Xue was still alive, she must remember the bill of the inner library more clearly than Yuan Xiu. After all, Qiu Fengxiang was too young when she entered the palace. What happened in the palace, such as what happened in and out, how could it be compared with Mrs. Xue with the Empress Dowager Zhaoxian? Does he also have an account?
Du Furi was alert. Although Yuan Xiu didn't say it, he could guess the same. He didn't want to mention Mrs. Xue, so he changed the topic and joked, "What did you guess what Du Qian said to me when you entered the door today?"
"Didn't I tell you that the beautiful little lady who looked twice when you went to Beili has been redeemed with you and quietly placed in which outer room, just waiting for you to enjoy it when you have time?" Du Yu is the brother of Du Furi's personal bodyguard Du Mo. His martial arts skills are not as good as Du Mo, but he is calm. In the past, he has been taking care of the property in Du's five rooms. After Du Furi Shangzhu, he sent him to take care of the princess's mansion. Now it is the family order in the eldest princess's mansion.
Seeing Yuan Xiu talking softly and pointing his arm, he looked like he loved Jiao. Although Du Furi was tired, he couldn't help but feel hot, so he stopped rubbing his hand for her, took the opportunity to slide down and hold Yuanxiu's waist, hugged her slightly, and said with a smile, "When can I go to the north? Why don't I know?"
Yuan Xiu turned his eyes and covered his mouth and smiled, "Well, it's not in the north. Well, I know. I must have met him on the road? Well, when they saw Du Jia Shilang riding into the court with a graceful posture, they came forward to stop you from recommending the pillow mat..." At this, they heard a smile in the corner. Both of them were stunned and turned their heads to look, but they saw that the green had cleverly picked up the corner of their skirt, slipped out along the corner of the wall, and said with a smile, "I didn't see anything. Did you hear it or not, the A family and his son-in-law continued to talk! Let's see why the soup in the kitchen hasn't been cooked yet?
She ran out, and the abandoned Yuanxiu and Du Furi were a little stunned. For a long time, Yuanxiu pushed Du Furi and said anguishly, "It's all your nonsense, which made me laugh!"
Du Furi did not compete with her. He leaned over and kissed her slender neck and smiled, "It turned out that in Ahuang's eyes, she was so beautiful as her husband, and she could walk on the road and attract the girl to recommend herself? Well, but I don't know that Ahuang's words also want to..."
Before he finished speaking, Yuan Xiu's cheeks were red, and he spat gently. He pushed him hard and said, "Who wants to be with you? Go!"
"How can I leave when Ahuang waits for me like this every night?" Du Furi hugged her tightly, moved her left hand down, held her knees, and carried her to the inner room with a smile...
In a while, picking blue and picking green each brought in a sweet soup. Seeing that there was no one outside, they looked at each other and looked at each other with surprise. They were about to enter the back hall, but they heard the sound inside. Both of them both smiled, quietly extinguished the candlelight outside, cleaned up the account book, and quietly locked the door.
