Chapter 450: Buying and selling cannot be done with kindness and righteousness (two updates combined into one, please vote for me)

 The warm sunshine in summer.

The sheltered area under the porch is far from being exposed to the sun, and the summer flowers in the garden are blooming just right.

Lin Yunyan and Zhu Xian walked from the flower hall to the backyard together, where they sat in the pavilion and looked at the flowers.

Perhaps having finished one thing, Zhu Xiang felt much more relaxed. He sipped a piece of bean paste cake and turned to laugh at Lin Yunyan: "You still eat it so sweetly."

 “Sweet ones are delicious.” Lin Yunyan said with a smile.

 She was in the side hall earlier and could hear some voices in the main hall.

Just because of her limited hearing, she could not hear as clearly as Xu Jian, but with her understanding of Zhu Xiang, Lin Yunyan could roughly guess what was said.

 Seeing Zhu Xiang relaxed at this moment, Lin Yunyan also knew that Yu Chengan was not messing around.

 “He is quite a decent person.” She praised him.

　　 Zhu Xuan Wan Er.

 Decent.

　　It’s a very simple two words, but not everyone can do it.

She is obviously only a teenager, but she has already seen too many disgraceful things.

Now that I think about it, what happened before was like a dream, but it was not a dream.

Of course, in order to achieve her goal, she will actually use some extraordinary means.

 After all, there are many aspects to the matter. When you encounter a bastard, you are really making things difficult for yourself by trying to be decent with the other person.

 It is a blessing in itself that something can be settled decently and harmoniously.

 “Young Master Yu is a good man.” Zhu Xiang said.

She is a good friend in the boudoir, and she doesn’t hide her words. After thinking about it, she added: "Looks like a dandy who does not do business all day long. His behavior is not brainless or one-sided. I did not arrange the honorable young master. , it’s too much of a mess.”

Lin Yunyan also laughed when she heard this.

This is really a big truth.

Many people see the scenery and the moon on the outside, but they can't even look at it on the inside.

Like Su Ke, didn’t the eldest sister suffer a loss in the past and was deceived, and could only have her teeth knocked out and her blood swallowed?

Compared with this, Yu Chengan, who only loves fighting **** and crickets, can really be regarded as "upright".

As long as this person has some messy problems, Xu Jian will not have much contact with him.

"I refused to be so direct just now, but now I'm talking about his advantages," Lin Yunyan rolled her eyes and teased, "Are you saying that 'business cannot be done without righteousness'?"

Zhu Chan was happy to hear this and said: "If it were the same as before, we would be a good match.

 Compared to being married to an inexplicable young man by an elder, I prefer Yu Chengan.

 It’s just this moment and that moment.

I would have nodded at that time, but he might not have taken a liking to me who was almost driven crazy.

 He ​​is interested in the current cousin of the Yu family, but I am no longer required by my elders to marry into the Duke's family, and naturally I don't want to have anything to do with the children of the aristocratic family. "

"Seek truth from facts," Lin Yunyan laughed at her, and finally said, "Just think about it, everything else is not as important as thinking about it yourself."

 In the next few days, Grandma Zhu did not come to the house again.

The two aunts of the Yu family looked at Zhu Xian's half-opened window and gathered together to whisper.

"It seems that we have made it clear to the other party that they are not coming."

"It's okay not to come," the second aunt sighed, "Since A-chan doesn't have the intention, we will be embarrassed if they come back."

"You are soft-spoken when you eat people, and soft-handed when you take advantage of others. So, Mammy Zhu, please be polite. I am embarrassed to make people reject you," the Third Auntie said, "But when people come into the house, A-chan doesn't respond. On the contrary, she looks like It’s us using Qiao to tease people’s appetites. Oops, I’m also in a dilemma. No matter what I do, I don’t think it’s comprehensive enough!”

"That's the truth," the second aunt said, "Since we are not destined to be together, we should break up early and it will be better. There will be no rumors, and it will not delay our marriage in the future."

When the third aunt heard this, she looked sad again: "I am worried about Ah Chan's marriage. To put it lightly, it seems that we are careless and bully her as an orphan. To put it too high, we don't have the ability to help her." She said it to higher places!

 Second sister-in-law, tell me, how many people do we know in total?

It's not that I'm being shameless, but if you really want to calculate it, the Baoan Hou Mansion is already a very good family despite being a high-ranking family hereditary.

With us alone, can we find a better husband for Ah Chang than the young master of the Marquis?

 Besides, if you can get married, you can help the family to some extent..."

When the second aunt heard this, she hurriedly covered her sister-in-law's mouth to prevent her from saying, "Why are you talking about this now? If there is no fate, there is no fate. It's not sweet if you twist it!"

I know you are worried about your family, but I just want to hear these words. You must stop saying them.

 Auntie’s lesson learned from the past.

To put it bluntly, we are in decline. The more powerful the in-laws are, and the more aggressive they become, the more we can only run around!

As for my aunt, if the Zhu family hadn't caused trouble that they shouldn't have caused and were dealt with by the Holy Spirit, then we would have been given the opportunity to play the role. If his family had not committed treason, my aunt and A-chan would still be suffering now. ! "

The third aunt quickly pulled her hand from her mouth and kept telling her not to talk nonsense.

When the second aunt let go, the third aunt hurriedly promised: "I'm not a **** who sells his sons and daughters. How can I know good and evil? You know me, but sometimes I always want to dream. !”

 The second aunt smiled bitterly.

 Have a dream!

Who doesn’t love to dream? She loves it too!

Today I dreamed that my man made a lot of money in business. Tomorrow I dreamed that my uncle would be in office and his fortune would be good and his official career would be prosperous. The day after, I would dream of one person attaining enlightenment and chickens and dogs ascending to heaven.

 Dreams are temporary, and people are always awake and know what they can and cannot do.

"Let's agree that the matter of protecting the Marquis' Mansion is over now, and don't talk about it in the future. We won't cause trouble for others, and we won't cause trouble for ourselves."

 Grandma-in-law, you comforted me and I encouraged you, and finally you adjusted your mentality.

It was no longer mentioned at home, but at the Baoan Hou Mansion, the old Marquis and his wife still found some clues.

Mammy Zhu is the dowry wife of Mrs. Baoanhou. The master and servant have known each other for decades, and the relationship is extremely close.

Yu Chengan was smart and progressive in his childhood. His grandmother, who was a generation removed from him, was very fond of him, so she assigned Aunt Zhu to take care of him. Who would have expected that this boy was getting worse every year, and ended up with a dandy temperament.

After all, he is Yaosun, Hun Gui Hun, and he is not to the point of causing trouble. Mrs. Hou was angry and annoyed, and finally accepted it.

Yao Sun Hun is a hundred times and a thousand times stronger than his eldest son, Sun Hun, right?

Fighting **** and crickets is a thousand times better than hanging out in the flowers to give her a great-grandchild, right?

That’s it!

Marquis Bao Bao not only admired his old wife's self-comfort, but also boasted about his beard and commented that "the general is the best among the dwarfs", but he really didn't have much to do against Yu Cheng'an.

Making progress must come from the heart.



In the past two years, Mrs. Hou did not hope that Yu Chengan would change his gender, but she would not ignore it completely. At least she could not let it go until one day her grandson went astray and the whole family was still in the dark. Therefore, from time to time, she still I'll ask Grandma Zhu to reply.

Mrs. Zhu was aware of the fact that Mammy Zhu went out frequently during this month.

When Madam Hou asked about it, Madam Zhu did not hide it for Yu Chengan. She just asked Ping to withdraw from the others and reported to Madam Hou alone.

"The girl from the Zhu family? The one who used to be a British official?" Mrs. Hou was very surprised, "It's strange! All he can think about is the sound of crickets, and he still knows what the girl's parents look like?"

Mother Zhu couldn't laugh or cry: "If he thinks about girls, you will be even more annoyed." "That's true!" Mrs. Hou sighed.

An idle young man from the Marquis, who is full of thoughts about the strengths of girls and the weaknesses of girls, is finished.

She might have to kneel outside Cining Palace one day and blame herself for "not being able to educate her children well."

“I can see that Miss Zhu has excellent appearance, temperament and moral character,” Mammy Zhu praised. “The most important thing is that she has a clear mind.”

After Mrs. Hou heard the whole story, she also said: "She is a good girl, but she is so honest that she is not worthy of her!"

Mrs. Hou knew it, and Marquis Bao Bao naturally also knew it.

 The next day, Yu Chengan was called into the study by his grandfather.

There are only two people, grandson and grandson, with no outsiders. Marquis Baoan said very rudely: "Look, is it embarrassing?"

Yu Chengan touched the tip of his nose.

“I told you a long time ago that I need to improve as I get older, but you turned a deaf ear to it!” the security guard said, “Okay now, the girl you like just doesn’t like you!

 If it were me, I wouldn’t give you the girl at home!

Which good girl listens to you all day long that a cricket is longer than a grasshopper? "

Yu Chengan blushed after being scolded, but he still couldn't help but want to laugh: "Grandpa, maybe there are girls who like crickets longer than grasshoppers?"

"Bah! Just give me some color and open a dyeing workshop!" the security guard scolded, "You are so smart, but I haven't seen you put other girls in your eyes. Haven't you just been interested in Zhu Zhu for so many years? "Bloom?"

Yu Cheng was happy: "Indeed, Miss Zhu is very good."

"Okay, does it have anything to do with you? You kid can't reach such a high level!" The security guard hated iron and steel, "As long as you look good, I'll stick to my old face and ask someone to give you a blowjob, but you're just such a fool. So, I really can’t do anything about it!

Zhu Xiang is not a soft persimmon. A girl who can send all the Zhu family members on their way with her mother's memorial tablet in her arms has such a tough temper!

 Fortunately, you have a clear head and don't mess around. "

Yu Chengan was scolded, but he didn't feel angry at all.

The security guard saw that he was still smiling playfully, and asked with a slumped face: "Can you still laugh?"

“I was just thinking of Xu Jian,” Yu Chengan said. “He mentioned it that day and said that you should appreciate Miss Zhu.”

"Appreciate it, why don't you appreciate it?!" the security guard said with his hands behind his back, "You are not good at anything else, but you have a very good eye for seeing people!"

Yu Chengan pursed his lower lip.

 He felt it too.

 After hearing what Zhu Xiang said last time, he just stopped letting Nanny Zhu go to Yu's house, but it was not that he had given up.

 He is serious about emotional matters, so how can he end it just as soon as he says it?

 Just be clear about propriety and advance and retreat, and it only exists in your own heart and does not disturb Zhu Xian.

 Normally I don't worry about it, nor do I feel particularly uncomfortable. But now that my grandfather said such a long list, my mind is full of tears, and my heart is really uncomfortable.

 It’s not comfortable, so I can only bear it by myself.

He shrugged and put on a relaxed look: "Not only do I have a good eye for people, I also have an excellent eye for crickets."

The security guard was either really angry or not angry. He picked up the feather duster on the shelf next to him and patted the grandson twice: "Get out, get out!"

Yu Chengan took advantage of the situation and exited the house, taking three steps and two steps at a time.

By the time he came to his senses, he was already standing in front of a large mansion.

 This is the former British Crown House.

The two mansions were not far apart, so he walked here casually.

Since the confiscation, the former Duke's Mansion has declined greatly, and there is still a seal on the door.

Yu Chengan looked around and saw that there were no passers-by in the alley. He simply turned over, jumped over the courtyard wall, and landed inside the wall.

The scene inside became more and more messy and desolate.

Yu Chengan did not go inside, but walked around the screen wall and looked at the front yard and hall.

The flowers and trees have long since disappeared, overgrown with weeds, and the old lanterns fell to the ground, leaving only their skeletons exposed to the wind and sun.

 But just such a corner has cut off the prosperity of the past, leaving only the decay of today.

Yu Chengan stood and looked at it for a long time.

Sometimes my mind is empty, and sometimes many thoughts appear. The poems I memorized in childhood flashed by, and finally disappeared.

Yu Cheng'an didn't come back to his senses until the sunset on the horizon shed red light, giving the dilapidated scenery a layer of brilliant color.

He wiped his face, took a deep breath as if waking up from a dream, and exhaled it slowly.

After a long time, he took advantage of the darkness and successfully got out of the British mansion.

Stepping out of this quiet alley, the connected streets are bustling with activity.

The sound of people pouring into the ears, noisy and completely different from the cries of crickets.

Yu Chengan walked towards Baoanhou Mansion without any hurry.

Perhaps, he should go see Xu Jian again tomorrow and get some advice.

Yu Chengan had a good idea, but unexpectedly, he had no chance to see Xu Jian for a whole day.

 Since the early morning, Xu Jian was called to the imperial study room.

 Because, the situation on Gu Yue’s side is not very optimistic.

Even though they have been in alliance with Gu Yue for many years, they still need to be on guard against others. Dashun always has hidden stakes in Gu Yue to prevent Gu Yue from rebelling or making any changes.

This time Li Du absconded and contacted Su Yi. In addition to asking Yumen and other passes to be more vigilant, the Holy Spirit also asked the hidden stakes to pay attention to Gu Yue's situation.

 After Prince Ping proposed "inciting rebellion", Hidden Stake will also try this idea.

 Before dawn today, the message from that box was sent to the emperor in a hurry.

 Xu Jian took the text message from Eunuch Cao and frowned after reading it.

 Gu Yue’s situation has been really not quite right in recent times.

"So," Xu Jian thought about it and said, "Su Yi still takes the greatest credit for the stability of Dashun and Gu Yue?"

As a small country outside the Pass, Gu Yue is not of the same mind inside.

There are those who do not want to start a war and just want to strengthen contacts with Dashun and balance the surrounding relations; there are also those who want to follow the example of Xiliang and rely on war to expand.

No matter what kind of agreement Su Yi originally reached with Li Du, at least on the surface, Su Yi belongs to the former type.

 But now, with Li Du's incident, Su Yi seems to have lost support and trust. He is unable to suppress his dissidents and is about to fail in his internal fight.

"Once Su Yi fails, Gu Yue will join forces with Xiliang to advance eastward." Xu Jian took a breath and shook his head, "Your Majesty, I think Su Yi already wanted to advance westward."
