    Xue Rui got off the car in front of the mansion. Just as a silver-covered soap sedan left the Xue family's door, Xu Li, the second manager, stood on the stone steps and watched respectfully. When he turned around and saw Xue Rui, he went down the steps to greet  Coming up: "The young master is back." Xue Rui looked at the sedan that was walking away, and turned around and said, "Whose sedan is that?" If the sedan can be decorated with silver caps, it must be an official of the third rank or above, one of the few in the court.  Xu Li replied: "It's Mr. Ren, the young eunuch of Si Tianjian." "Oh?"  I don¡¯t have much contact with him on weekdays, but today I came to visit in person but I don¡¯t know why.  "Where is my grandfather now?" "My lord, I am sitting in meditation in the South Pavilion." Xue Rui turned around and entered the mansion to see Xue Lingnan in the South Pavilion.  Mr. Xue had just entertained the guests. There was still tea left on the stone table, and a lion-head gilt copper stove had been lit for a short time. He was pinching incense. When he saw Xue Rui entering the pavilion, he asked: "Didn't you come back last night?" "Same."  Ninth Prince and the others drank a few more drinks and ended up hungover in the restaurant." Xue Rui looked at the extra teacups on the table and asked, "I just saw the Young Supervisor leaving in his sedan chair. I don't know why he came today.  ?¡±  I already know this matter. This is an errand sent by the emperor to Si Tianjian. Don¡¯t worry about it and leave it to others to worry about.¡± With the Xue family¡¯s current status in the court, there is no need to do these extra things to please the Holy Heart. However,  Xue Rui specifically mentioned it in front of Xue Lingnan, but he had other ideas: "My grandson has never heard of the former Yunhua Yizi and his descendants, but you have heard about it a long time ago?" Xue Lingnan recalled: "This matter is particularly special.  Early on, no one mentioned it in these years. Yunhua did have a son with Princess Luyue. After the death of the couple, he was sent to the Taoist sect by the royal family. It was said that he was adhering to his parents' wishes. This matter was gradually forgotten.  He has been away for more than ten years, and now he has completed his cultivation before returning to the court." Xue Rui asked suspiciously: "Then why didn't you send someone to greet him instead of letting him go back and forth alone, disappearing, and then search for him in such a big way?" Xue Lingnan pinched  Hu Jian looked at him, silent for a moment, and then slowly told him the secret: "Why didn't you send someone to pick him up? What do you think King Xiang was doing when he left the capital last year? It was just in the name of traveling around the mountains and rivers.  ¡€According to the emperor's order, he went to Longhu Mountain to pick up Daozi. Who knew that he was in vain, Daozi actually came down from the mountain early, and King Xiang returned to the capital alone. He originally brought Daozi's portrait, but he was looking for someone on the way, but he still returned empty-handed.  Beijing, even the portrait was lost on the road. The emperor lost his temper because of this, and the King of Xiang felt that he was not doing well, so he stayed behind closed doors. "Xue Rui was very surprised after hearing the whole story. After thinking about it for a moment, he  Suddenly it dawned on him: "So, in that dayan exam this year, the lost object that was found for the prince was that Taoist portrait?" Xue Lingnan nodded.  Xue Rui had doubts in his heart. Since he had lost the portrait, where did the portrait on today's list come from? Could it be that he had found it? That's not right. It had not been long since the Dayan examination paper was sealed. How could it be so fast? He thought in his mind,  Feeling that there was another possibility, he tried to say: "Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince, has he been cultivating together with the descendants of Yunhua over the past few years?" Just a few days after the Ninth Prince returned to Beijing, Si Tianjian posted an article looking for Yunhua Yi.  There are also portraits of the descendants of Zi and Princess Luyue, making it difficult for Xue Rui not to connect the two things together.  "Yes, they are practicing in the same sect." Xue Lingnan's words not only confirmed Xue Rui's guess, but also made him think more: The ninth prince Liu Tan, who was four years younger, was born under the knee of his aunt Xue Guifei  The only son, he left the capital to study Taoism when he was young due to his frail health. He returned to the capital every three years. They were close cousins ??since they were children. It was not like he had never heard him talk about the Taoism in the past few years.  However, I have never heard Liu Tan mention the descendants of Yunhua Yizi and Princess Luyue. Now it seems that Liu Tan deliberately concealed it.  Looking at his grandfather's attitude, it's not as if he knew about it the day before but didn't mention it at all. He didn't mention it until today when the Taoist returned to Beijing. What was the meaning of this? Xue Ruisi thought about it and suddenly understood.  Understand why his grandfather asked him to make friends with the seventh prince Liu Hao, and why he gave him an excuse to turn against the seventh prince.  This cannot help but talk about the situation in the harem. Today, the emperor has one concubine and three concubines, which are the most noble. The emperor's eldest son was born by the empress. However, he died early, the empress was sick and weak, and there was only one daughter left at her knees. There was no hope of succession.  "Then there is his aunt Xue Guifei. She gave birth to a son, Liu Tan, more than ten years ago. She actually lives in the mountains all year round. Because she is far away from the court, the important officials do not pay attention to her.  There was also Concubine Lu Xian, who gave birth to three sons by herself, but unfortunately, the third prince died of illness at the age of six, the fifth prince lost his footing and drowned at the age of four, and the eleventh prince was left, young and immoral, following Liu Hao all day long, doing nothing.  No limelight.  ? ?Later, there is the biological mother of the seventh prince Liu Hao, Concubine Yin Shu. Concubine Shu comes from a wealthy family of military commanders. Her father is the chief assistant of the former emperor's cabinet. He was awarded the title of General Protector of the Country. He was a brave man who was good at fighting and had great military achievements. He died six years ago.  At that time, the emperor personally carried the coffin to send him off. After the funeral, he ordered his son Yin Peng to ascend the throne and become the Duke of the country. The Yin family is a distinguished family. In fact, it is the most prosperous family in Beijing under the emperor's surname. Even the six members of the Xue family  On behalf of the emperor, the elders of the three dynasties also had to temporarily stay behind.  The crown prince has not yet been established, and the East Palace has no owner. However, no one in the court knows who is in their hearts. Most of them privately regard Liu Hao as the future prince, and there are countless people who want to flatter him. Because Liu Hao is versatile in both civil and military affairs, no one among the princes can surpass him.  When Xue Rui and Liu Hao became good friends, they were still young and vigorous. I once thought that Xue Lingnan's move towards Yan was to show favor and weakness to the Yin family and had no intention of pursuing that position. Now it seems that what he did that day was just to deceive others and confuse the public.  Picture, it just hasn¡¯t arrived yet.  Two months ago, he and Liu Hao had a falling out, so that the two families stopped communicating with each other. Although there were discussions in Beijing, they were just rumors and did not involve any serious issues. It was probably because Liu Tan was still in the mountains and no one paid much attention. Xue Ruixin  He thought that his grandfather would have known about Liu Tan's return to Beijing at that time, and there would be no need to go back this time, so it would be better for him to cut off contact with Liu Hao in advance than to turn against him again at this time, which would cause trouble.  Criticize, so that outsiders can't figure out the Xue family's stance and attitude.  With such painstaking arrangements, how could it not be for nothing?  After thinking about this, Xue Rui looked at the old man in front of him again, feeling awe and heaviness.  "Cheng Bi, you were brought up by your grandfather. Your father passed away early and your mother was weak. My grandfather knew that you were smart and sensible, and you were more competitive than ordinary people since you were young. That's why you can do big and small things.  I have never kept anything from you. When the Xue family came to our branch, the income was very poor. Your second uncle was like that, so I couldn¡¯t count on you. My grandfather had always been strict with you because he had high hopes for you. In the future, our Xue family.  Whether it is a failure or a blessing, it all depends on whether you can live up to the expectations or not."  His grandson, who was even taller, had both relief and worry in his eyes. He sighed and shook his head.  Xue Rui was left alone in the pavilion thinking.  Yu Shu drank the decoction and slept until noon when she woke up. Her headache was much better, but her throat was dry and her nose was blocked, and she still had minor cold symptoms.  Seeing her waking up, Xiaodie and Xiaoqing hurriedly brought tea and water and helped her sit up. After a while, Lin Fu heard the news and stood outside the door to report that the Ji family and Xia Jiang family had sent a box of silver in the morning.  , collected the IOU, and asked her what to do with this large sum of money. The reason was that Yu Shu personally collected these two boxes of silver last night, and he did not dare to take them into his account on his own initiative.  Yu Shu felt uncomfortable, so she didn't try to figure out Lin Fu's thoughts, and said in a rough voice: "Just include it in the income of the restaurant. How much money did you lose yesterday when we opened the door? Let me take a look at the ledger." Hearing this, Lin Fu smiled happily.  : "Including this money, I actually received around 400 taels yesterday. I'm going to get the account and show it to you." Originally, when we opened the door on the first day, we advertised free food and wine, so we planned to lose money.  Unexpectedly, the two wrongdoers settled their accounts and ended up with a profit.  After a while, yesterday's account details were delivered to Yu Shu. She glanced through them and found nothing wrong. She also asked Lin Fu how business was today. She heard that there were many customers, so she felt relieved.  She was afraid that yesterday's guests were frightened by the price of vegetables at Wangjilou and would not dare to come again. It seemed that there were still many rich people in the north of the city.  After finishing the business, Yu Shu asked Lin Fu: "Is the kitchen busy at the moment?" "No, the excitement of lunch has passed. The girl must be hungry. See if you have an appetite for something to eat, little one.  Let the kitchen do it." Lin Fu's attitude towards Yu Shu was obviously warmer and more attentive than before yesterday.  Looking at the reasons, firstly, he saw Yu Shu's temper at the dinner table with the nobles yesterday and knew that she was not easy to mess with, so he was afraid of her. Secondly, she cleaned up the two troublemakers last night with just a few words.  He saw Yu Shu's skills and knew how powerful she was, so he was convinced.  "Let's see if there is any lighter porridge and soup. Bring me a bowl. Then make a few vegetarian dishes and find a food box to put them in." Yu Shu paused and then said: "The cost will be recorded in my account.  Don't confiscate it." Lin Fu hesitated for a moment, remembering the last time Yu Shu asked him about the seabass soup, so he didn't say anything and continued.  Yu Shu sat up from the bed with her clothes on, asked the maid to fetch water to wash up, changed into clean Hu clothes, and combed her hair. Xiao Qing saw that she was tidied up and ready to leave, so she persuaded her: "Girl, this is  Are you going back? The master asked you to rest here for two days. There are servants waiting for you. " Yu Shu was thinking about Jing Chen at this time. As soon as he was able to get out of bed, he couldn't stay any longer, so he coaxed them.  After a few words, he called Guiliu, took some broken silver and went to the street to hire a sedan for him. After drinking porridge, he took the food box and left in the sedan.  Not long after she left, Xue Rui returned to Wangji Tower. Hearing from his servants that she had left, he asked where she had gone, but he didn't know.  .
