Aoyama Chronicle

one more

No one knows the depth of the royal family. Since ancient times, the royal family has no one who sits on the throne cleanly.

Zhong Yiwen gave Zhang Zhaofeng a straight look: "I mean, I want you to talk to King Anle and Princess Anle about serious matters. I'm a little girl from the fifth-rank Hanlin, so what qualifications do I have to talk to you, one of the four chiefs of the Nanman region?" business, right?"

Zhang Zhaofeng shook his head regretfully: "It seems that you really don't know anything! Hey, the elders protect you very well!"

This matter seems a bit big, Zhong Yiwen wonders if Zhang Zhaofeng knows something inside that he doesn't know.Zhong Yiwen was a little skeptical. It was about Princess Anle and the former Empress Lin. He was forced to the door before he figured out the relationship.Now it was Zhang Zhaofeng, Qin Fei's betrothed whom no one had mentioned, who suddenly appeared and said some hints that Zhong Yiwen didn't quite understand, it was definitely not that simple.

Zhong Yiwen felt that he was underestimated, he didn't know anything, so what, is it necessary to look at him like this?

"I think the elders also don't want the head of the family to get involved in those old things, and want the head of the family to live this life simply, so they didn't tell these things." Qin Fei was articulate and helped Zhong Yiwen answer.

Zhong Yiwen was overjoyed. Qin Fei's appearance was basically protecting him, and he simply agreed: "That's right, I'm not interested in knowing about those old things. Look at you, so what if you know those things, I'm just settling in a corner for the time being." He said, he still has to worry about being punished day and night. When you come to the country of Yan, you still have to hide your head and hide your tail, what is there to be proud of?"

Zhang Zhaofeng was really dumbfounded by Zhong Yiwen and Qin Fei's words, and couldn't help laughing: "Hehehe... Is it necessary for the two of you to target me with the same hatred? I can tell you, if it is true that I have something to do with you It can't be me who is jealous!"

Did you think it was fun to send that engagement book to your door?

This may be the difference between the two of them.Zhong Yiwen always puts his family first, anyone who wants to destroy him and Qin Fei is their enemy.But Zhang Zhaofeng's focus was on those big things, otherwise he shouldn't have such an attitude when facing Qin Fei, who is already married and betrothed.

"Ah, that's right!" Zhang Zhaofeng didn't know what to think, "I don't know if you have received any news from Yangzhou. I heard that your Zhong family is in big trouble these days, and you will give the Zhong family's main house in the state capital to you." Get out. Your grandma Chen and third uncle have been arrested by the government, and it is estimated that there will be no more time to turn around!"

"Ah?" Zhong Yiwen was taken aback, "Is what you said true?"

Zhong Yiwen has been in constant contact with Steward Fu and He Jianghai who are far away in Zhongjia Village, and he has not heard anything about the Zhong family in the state capital so far.But considering the distance between Zhongjia Village and the state capital, it would take half a month for the news to reach Zhongjia Village.It will take a few more days for the news to be delivered to them in Kyoto. It is normal that he has not received the news yet.

Mrs. Chen and his third uncle are short-sighted. They think they are some kind of business geniuses, and they can't hide their petty spirit even if they hold great power.After the Zhong family in the state capital was in the hands of the Chen family, they looked pretty good on the surface, and that was also the merit accumulated by the ancestors of the Zhong family.Those businesses and things they did later, it was their shit luck that they were not picked up until now.Now that the implementation of Yan State's business law has been widely accepted, it's no surprise that there are no accidents in the way of doing business like the Zhong family in the state capital.Zhong Yiwen was filial, so he didn't dare to attack them directly. He originally planned to avoid them from a distance, and then slowly find a way to deal with them.Did not expect them to dig their own grave first.

Zhong Yiwen decided to send a letter to Steward Fu and He Jianghai after he went back, asking them to go to the village to chat with other people, especially Li Zheng, and absolutely not to let other people from the Zhong family in the state capital go back to Zhongjia Village after paying the main house. If you don't live in Zhongjia Village, you won't be able to live in their house in Zhongjia Village.Well, it's best to list all the disadvantages in it, before letting others know that Zhong Yiwen came up with the idea.With He Jianghai around, there should be no problem with this matter.In addition, a letter should be sent to Chen Yinuo, asking him to come forward to buy the Zhong family's ancestral house.This guy is now one of the most well-known big merchants in the country of Yan. He has changed his previous slave status and is now wrestling with his old enemy, the magistrate of Yongzhou.Although he doesn't like the Zhong family in the state capital, the Zhong family's ancestral house must not fall into the hands of others. Just treat it as him occupying the body of the descendants of the family and preserve this family property for others.After the Zhong family's ancestral house was taken down, Zhong Yiwen planned to hang it directly under Xiaochen's name. According to the unwritten tradition of the Yan Kingdom, the eldest son should inherit the ancestral house, which can be regarded as returning it to the original owner.

After returning home, he had to tell Steward Chen that he would refuse to accept any strange letters from Yangzhou, and he would refuse to let anyone say anything wrong.Anyway, let them handle the affairs of the Zhong family in the state capital by themselves, even if someone finds out later, Zhong Yiwen will have an excuse to say he doesn't know.

In a short while, Zhong Yiwen had already made all the preparations for the things to be done later. In a word, he ignored everything except letting Chen Yinuo buy the Zhong family's ancestral house, and just stood by and watched.

Looking at Zhong Yiwen's appearance, Zhang Zhaofeng didn't seem to expect that Zhong Yiwen would be so calm when he heard the news, and asked curiously: "Didn't the outside say that you, Zhong Yiwen, are a filial son?"

Zhong Yiwen didn't intend to continue pretending here, anyway, the Zhang family would definitely not like Chen Shi: "It's just a rumor, so my mother-in-law is Zhang Shi!"

"Oh?" Zhang Zhaofeng raised his eyebrows and said with emotion, "Unexpected!"

nonsense!Except for those who were really close to him, Zhong Yiwen did not express any dissatisfaction with the Zhong family in the state capital outside.Even though the Zhong family in the prefectural capital had been tricked by fooling around and pretending to be crazy, and the family and clan were successfully separated, the others were just suspicious, and there was no definite evidence to prove that Zhong Yiwen was dissatisfied with the Chen family.

"Okay, if this is today's business, I already know it!" Zhong Yiwen was already a little impatient, seeing Zhang Zhaofeng's evil and dangerous appearance, he couldn't suppress his anger at all, and he didn't have the usual calmness at all.

Zhang Zhaofeng pursed his lips and smiled lowly, which made Zhong Yiwen regain his energy to face this dangerous guy.

"Aren't you curious why your Zhong family lost so quickly?"

In fact, Zhong Yiwen is really not curious about this.The Zhong family in the state capital has made countless enemies over the years, who knows whose hands they fell into.However, according to Zhang Zhaofeng's tone, is there anything worthy of attention: "Do you know what's going on?"

Zhang Zhaofeng shook his head cheerfully.Zhong Yiwen really wanted to shoot him to death.

"However, I know who is behind this?" Zhang Zhaofeng threw out another bait, and the standard was to wait for Zhong Yiwen to take the bait.

Zhong Yiwen's face darkened: "Who is it?"

"Zhong Yilang!" Zhang Zhaofeng gave the answer straightforwardly.

Zhong Yiwen looked at the sky speechlessly, not knowing how to describe his mood at the moment.Zhong Yiwen knew from the letter sent by He Jianghai and the others that Zhong Yilang left Zhongjia Village at the beginning of the second year after the death of his third uncle and never heard from him again.Now, in only three years, Zhong Yilang was able to destroy the Zhong family in the state capital. Should he feel that this child was not misunderstood by him and He Jianghai?

"Where did he get help?" Zhong Yiwen was curious at this point.Zhong Yilang was alone, and he had never heard of him, so how could he directly confront the Zhong family in the state capital.

Zhang Zhaofeng smiled at Zhong Yiwen, and didn't hide it: "He is a student of the current prefect of Yangzhou, what do you think?"

I see!Zhong Yiwen was silent for a while, then nodded: "Well, that Yangzhou magistrate has a good eye!"

Zhang Zhaofeng didn't expect Zhong Yiwen to make such an evaluation in the end, so he couldn't help but burst out laughing.Even Qin Fei, who was sitting aside and listening to their conversation, was dumbfounded by Zhong Yiwen's inexplicable words.

"Zhong Yiwen, you have to be careful, Zhong Yilang is very dangerous!" Zhang Zhaofeng suddenly reminded after laughing.

What's the meaning?Zhong Yiwen was a little confused, he thought Zhang Zhaofeng meant that it was not enough for Zhong Yilang to take revenge on Zhong Yilang in the state capital, he would find Zhong Yiwen sooner or later.It was not until a long time later that Zhong Yiwen knew what Zhang Zhaofeng's reminder meant.

Zhong Yiwen accepted Zhang Zhaofeng's reminder and nodded: "Okay, I got it! Now, it's time to talk about your real purpose for finding me today!"

Zhong Yiwen would never believe that Zhang Zhaofeng asked him out just to tell him about the Zhong family in the state capital, this guy would definitely not be such a kind person.First, they gave him witnesses like the Wang family, and now they talked about the Zhong family in the state capital and Zhong Yilang, the black hand behind the scenes. Zhang Zhaofeng was obviously showing his favor to him.The greater the benevolence in front, the greater Zhang Zhaofeng's pursuit, Zhong Yiwen dare not take it lightly.

"Help me expose the true colors of King Anle and Princess Anle, I want them both ruined!" When Zhang Zhaofeng said this, there was still a smile on his face, which made people shudder.

Sure enough, Zhang Zhaofeng had no good intentions in finding him!

Zhong Yiwen was surprised for a while, and then slowly calmed down.There was a gap between him, Zhong Yiwen, and King Anle because of the previous incident with Princess Biyou, and that was something anyone could find out if he wanted to.I'm afraid this is one of the reasons why Zhang Zhaofeng came to him.But Zhong Yiwen believes that things are definitely not that simple, and there must be something inside that he doesn't know.

Zhong Yiwen offended Anle Prince's Mansion, and was at odds with Yu's family. His relationship with Li's family was only one Li Zhang. The only person who was slightly better was Mr. Shen Ying. What Zhong Yiwen relied on now was His Majesty's grace.But since ancient times, companions are like companions to tigers, and Zhong Yiwen is also worried that one day he will be rejected by the Holy One, and his ending is almost beyond doubt.Zhong Yiwen's heart was moved by Zhang Zhaofeng's proposal. If King Anle could be destroyed, and the third prince could not succeed to the throne, Zhong Yiwen felt that his future would be guaranteed.But King Anle is definitely not that easy to deal with. The Holy Majesty has trusted him for so many years, even if it happened two years ago that happened to Princess Biyou, and later he even killed people in front of the Holy Majesty, he did not let the Holy Majesty pursue too much .It is definitely not an easy task to deal with King An Le.

"You don't need to answer for the time being, go back and think about it!" Zhang Zhaofeng suggested with a look of consideration for Zhong Yiwen, "But, I want to remind you. Whether you like it or not, you will be dragged into it, and there is no possibility of escape! "

Zhang Zhaofeng's words were like a curse, which made Zhong Yiwen uneasy.

Second Watch (Extra)

In the winter of that year, there was heavy snowfall in the prefectural city of Xuzhou, and a young scholar anxiously stood at the door of the medical center begging.

"Walk around, don't have a penny, and dare to ask our doctor to go to a place so far away!" The little guy in the medical center looked at the young scholar with disdain.That meant treating this young scholar as a poor scholar, for fear that he would not be able to pay for the doctor's fee.

The young scholar pulled the boy to intercede: "It's not that I can't afford the medical bills, but I was too anxious to go out and forgot to bring my wallet. My aunt suddenly fainted, so I ask your doctor to help me quickly!"

The little guy pushed the man directly into the snow: "We have seen too many people like you in the medical clinic. Either go home now and get the money, or leave quickly!"

The young scholar stared blankly at the young man, never expecting that the medical center would be so realistic.His Cao family is quite well-known in the Xuzhou state capital. Someone who has never been wronged before will be pushed out of the door on such a day. This kind of humiliation made him unable to react immediately.He just watched helplessly as the little fellow entered the medical hall and deliberately closed the door of the medical hall.

The snow fell harder and harder, and after a while, the young scholar's head and body were already covered with white flowers.He himself doesn't even have any strength, and the warmth and coldness of people is so realistic.

"Why are you lying in the snow so well?" An oiled paper umbrella covered the scholar's head, and a half-joking voice came over.

The young scholar's face became irritable, and he sat up quickly.Only then did he see that the person talking to him was a young man who was not very old, with a smile on his face.The most memorable thing is the outfit on the little brother, all in fiery red fur clothing, with a long black whip hanging around his waist, looking heroic.

Neither of them thought that such a chance meeting would cause them to be bitterly entangled for the rest of their lives.

"I……"

"Ah, I see!" Before the young scholar finished speaking, the little brother suddenly yelled, "You came to see the doctor, didn't you?"

"How do you know?" the young scholar asked.

The little brother smiled slightly: "This medical clinic is notoriously dark, the doctor's medical skills are not very good, and he only knows that death is a tael, there are not ten or eight people like you at the gate of this medical clinic a year, and it is impossible Quite a few. Let’s go, get up, and I’ll take you to find a doctor who is really skilled in medicine and likes to save lives and heal the wounded.”

For some reason, the young scholar believed in this little brother who was a few years younger than himself, and followed him through several alleys before finally finding the doctor he was talking about. The class leader of a handyman class.

After he invited the leader of the handyman class to the door to see Ah Mo's illness, and was convinced that the leader was not an ordinary charlatan, but a real extraordinary medical skill, the young scholar remembered that kind little brother, But I didn't expect that the little brother had long since disappeared.He didn't even know when his little brother left, let alone asked his name and where he lived.

Since then, the young scholar has missed that little brother in his heart, and remembered in his dreams more than once that in the snowflakes in the sky, the only color is the flaming red that slowly came from the oil-paper umbrella.

Even his father and teacher who taught him noticed the abnormality of the young scholar and asked him why.The young scholar himself couldn't explain clearly, he just felt that he really wanted to see that little brother again, and then asked him his name.Young people's lovesickness is the simplest and the strongest.

The following year, the young scholar passed the scholar examination and entered the best academy in the state capital to continue his studies.In the college, he got to know many classmates, the one with the best relationship is undoubtedly the most beloved student of the dean of the college.The young scholar had a very good impression of this classmate with a gentle and kind temper, and that classmate was also willing to get close to the young scholar, and the two gradually became a pair of close friends who were closer than brothers.The two of them are both very knowledgeable, and soon became popular in the academy, and became the academy's twins in other people's mouths.

If it is known that they will become the fate of the three in the future, I don't know if they will be excited because of the meeting and acquaintance at the beginning.

The young scholar was very pleasantly surprised, to be precise, it should be described as ecstatic, he actually met that little brother after class in the academy.The young scholar rushed over without even thinking about it.

"You, do you remember me?" The young scholar stood in front of the younger brother and asked unsurely.

I haven't seen him for more than half a year, and my little brother seems to be taller again, and his skin is also tanned. Only the black long whip hanging around his waist remains unchanged.

The little brother looked at the young scholar with some hesitation, and didn't speak for a while.The young scholar was a little disappointed, he didn't think that the person he was thinking about, but he had already forgotten himself.This kind of disappointment is like being splashed with a basin of cold water in winter, and the whole body is icy cold.

After a while, the little brother's eyes suddenly lit up: "Ah, it's you! How dare you lie to me, you are obviously not a poor person, and you are still pretending to be pitiful at the entrance of the medical center! You are a big liar!"

The young scholar's face flushed instantly, he didn't know whether to be thankful that the little brother still remembered him, or to be ashamed to be regarded as a big liar by the little brother.

"What are you two talking about, what big liar?" The friend's arrival helped the young scholar out.

Unexpectedly, the friend and the little brother actually knew each other, and with his help, the young scholar finally explained clearly what happened in front of the hospital that day.The little brother was very generous, and directly stated that he was wrong, thought too much, and regarded the young scholar as a liar.

After meeting the little brother again, the young scholar finally knew his name, and only then did he realize that he was actually the little brother who was in charge of the only bodyguard agency in the city.Although he was young, he often had to go out with his father and brother to guard the darts, and he would only stay in Xuzhou Prefecture for two or three months a year.This time, he went out after the new year and just arrived home.

The young scholar was very happy, saying that he would have the opportunity to see his little brother for a while.

After this, the young scholar began to ask people out every day.In the beginning, the three of them were together, but after a few days, my friends felt that it was a waste of time to study, and after that, only the young scholar and the younger brother went out together.That was their only happy day, and together they visited all the fun places in the Xuzhou state mansion, big and small.

After a month, the younger brother said that he was about to go out to guard the darts, and he might not see him for a long time, the young scholar actually understood his intentions at this moment, he simply talked about the future with the younger brother, and was willing to ask a matchmaker to come to propose marriage.

The little brother seemed to be taken aback. He looked at the young scholar blankly, and after a long time he was a little at a loss and said, "I have actually already ordered a baby kiss!"

This is definitely a bolt from the blue!

The young scholar felt that he was completely stupid, especially when he heard the younger brother say that the person he was betrothed to was his classmate and friend in the academy, the young scholar didn't recover for a long time.In the end, he didn't even know how he sent his little brother away and how he returned to his home.

The only thing he remembered was a smile on his face, but his heart was bleeding, and he said against his will: "Oh, forget it, congratulations!"

This is an unsolvable answer.One is his beloved, and the other is his best friend. The young scholar doesn't even know how to face the two of them for a period of time.He saw his little brother deliberately alienate himself from then on, and saw his friends inadvertently showing off his thoughtfulness, this feeling made him almost breathless.

Originally, he and his friends had planned to wait until the next year to take part in the provincial examination together, but the young scholar didn’t want to wait any longer, so he rushed to the far-flung Yangzhou prefecture to take part in that year’s rural examination. , Entered the Imperial Academy.

In the second year after the young scholar entered the Imperial Academy, he received a gift card from his friend to get married.That night, he drank all night, and went to ask for a half-month vacation with the head of the Imperial Academy early the next morning with red eyes, and returned to Xuzhou after a long journey.

At the wedding, the scholar stole all the limelight from the groom, and he didn't have the airs of a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy at all. He laughed and made noise with his classmates from other academies, and stopped the groom to drink one cup after another.Only he himself knew that his heart was at odds with the happy wedding atmosphere.The bright red that caught his eyes hurt his eyes, just like the blood dripping drop by drop from his heart.

After three years of studying in the Imperial Academy, the scholar returned to Xuzhou to become an official.However, his friend did not enter the Imperial Academy after taking the palace examination for high school, but applied to return to the academy where they had studied before.

The scholar planned to tidy up his original study at home and use it as a place to work in the future, but he found an envelope in the corner of the desk that only belonged to his name.When he saw the writing on it, he felt blood rushing all over his body, and after reading the letter in it, his whole face changed.The scholar hurriedly called the housekeeper at home and asked how this letter came about.

There are not many letters in their home, but the housekeeper still remembers it very clearly: "This letter was sent by the post station three years ago. At that time, young master, you went to Yangzhou to participate in the test, and then went directly to Kyoto to prepare for the test. No news came back, so this letter has been placed here."

The letter was sent by the younger brother, and the content was very simple, saying that he already understood his feelings, and if the scholar was still willing to be with him, he was willing to fight with the scholar to dissolve the marriage they had made before.

The scholar burst into tears, for the fate he missed, and for his fruitless love.He didn't see this letter until three years later. He blindly avoided it at first, and didn't even fight for it. After all, he missed it.
