Chapter 289: Like a ray of light on the back (2)

8days ago Historical fiction 7
Yu Futai is not a person who has no weaknesses at all. In addition to his own knowledge, his wife Dong may also have his weaknesses: He is incompetent to the saint's words: Only women and villains are difficult to raise.

He really wanted to have a good relationship with his wife, but for some reason he always felt like he was in harmony with his appearance; and he also knew that this was probably his own problem.

What problems can a woman who has married into the Yu family have? Yu Futai has made a difference at a young age and has a good appearance and figure. Dong must have wanted to be on him.

In the Ming Dynasty, a woman could only live with a man. She didn't rely on a legitimate high-ranking husband, who else would she want to rely on?

Is it because it’s too serious at home?

Yu Qian always has to put forward the big truths on family matters.

But sometimes he also wanted to relax, and when he was in a good mood, he tried to make his wife laugh; unexpectedly, at that time, Dong became serious again, which made Yu Qian at a loss.

In short, it is impossible to understand the method.

There is another question, for some reason, Dong is so suspicious.Sometimes Yu Qian really wanted to scold her, so what if the scholar-officials had three wives and four concubines, even though he didn't want that.

Doesn’t she understand what kind of person Yu is and what kind of character?The couple has been wasted for many years.

Not long after Yu Qian arrived in Changde Mansion, Dong actually arrived from Wuchang.

I don't know whose nonsense she believed, and she just messed around with nothing.

After thinking for a while, Yu Qian had already guessed a rough idea: it must be about Fang Ling.

……

The two women Dong was most wary of, one was Luo Mo Niang and the other was Fang Ling.

She seemed to be very insecure and would always worry that her husband would abandon her and have sex with someone of these two.

Luo Moniang is Yang Shiqi's adopted daughter. Yang Shiqi admires and values ​​Yu Qian so much. Maybe he really wants to marry Luo Moniang to Yu Qian. Teachers and students are really close together. Fang Ling is a lowly woman who changed her name to Gu Chunhan. She once stayed in the old courtyard of Nanjing. Dong was very shameful to such a woman, but she also knew that Yu Qian and Fang Ling had some old friendship, as if they met before Yu Qian passed the Jinshi. Moreover, Fang Ling was proficient in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Maybe the two of them were in harmony with each other?

Otherwise, why do you still have letters to communicate occasionally after many years?A minister of the Ministry of War, a provincial chief of the border, had something to talk about with a woman who had worked as a prostitute, except for the miserable matter.

The latest letter discovered by Dong was sent from Changde by Fang Ling.

Maybe she was still in Changde Mansion. Maybe Dong thought that they would be in close contact in Changde, so he came to Changde Mansion on the excuse of taking care of his husband.

In fact, Yu Qian was very unfair. Although Gu Chunhan had no choice but to do that business before, he had never touched a finger.

After a long time, Yu Qian had no money, but fame, but he was generous in helping him in all aspects. Second, Yu Qian was also a personal person, and he was well-read and did not lack cultural interests. Occasionally, he also needed a confidant. Gu Chunhan had a high level of art, especially the opera he sang, which was so popular that he didn't want others to sing.

Now he really has no mind to care about his wife, so he has to let her go.

In the afternoon, Yu Qian and Lu Chen, the Nanzhen Fufu Department, changed their casual clothes and went to meet a woman secretly.

This woman is quite capable. She was originally a person who collected money to do things for the Jinyiwei, but she cleverly used methods to hook up with Xu Guangcai, an important rebel figure in Changde City and gained trust. However, Xu Guangcai was not good at defending the city and had committed suicide.

This woman's name is Qiao Gu. She is a pretty widow. Her open identity can stand the investigation and even her neighbor's relationship is managed.

She is good at thinking about men's thoughts, and even Xu Guangcai is caught when she is old.

Qiao Gu’s methods of dealing with Lao Xu are not complicated, so she only caught two points: like Lao Xu, he has no use for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Instead, it will make him feel that a woman is very arrogant and greedy for wealth and vanity. What he lacks is the warmth of the family, so Qiao Gu has played out her skills in making good dishes, like a virtuous housewife, and has no simple interest, and more importantly, she is very beautiful; secondly, pretending to be able to stimulate a man’s instinct to protect the weak. She said that she is a widow and has no children, and life is hard to rely on. As long as she has a few thatched huts of her own, she will be at ease. When Lao Xu heard that I was the deputy director of the Senate, the prince’s relatives and confidant, and he was also a person who could speak on the huge territory of Changde and Chenzhou. I can give you thousands of times what you want...

How cute is a woman who only wants a few thatched huts to make a house, and she is a beautiful woman and a virtuous woman.

Old Xu once said confidently that as long as you renew the incense for the Old Xu family, you and your son will enjoy all the glory and wealth in the future, and Old Xu will leave all the things you have for you.

He almost had to dig out his heart; before he died, he knew that he had been defeated in the war, and gave all the money left by his official salary and frugal life to Qiaogu. He said: Except for Wenjun, you are the closest person in the world, but Wenjun should not lack food and drink in his life. You have no support but the blood of the old Xu family. Maybe others will not recognize you, so you will leave these money for you. Find an honest and honest man, get a family, or have a family...

Maybe Lao Xu left without knowing the truth, which is a good thing.

Yu Qian and Lu Qianshi made an appointment with Qiao Niang, and Qiao Niang's thinking skills were obviously useless to these two people.They are all people who have seen great storms and their expressions are very calm.

Last time, I clearly understood the itinerary of King Xiang, but after making great contributions, did you catch him?Qiao Niang asked in a pleasing manner.

Mr. Lu said: You are asking clearly what kind of person the thief leader is? If he were then dead, there would be no rumors in this city that spread to you?But you still have credit, we have won the heads of many traitors.

Yu Qian, however, had a stern face and said nothing.

Perhaps he thought that this kind of action was not a means to come to the stage, but he didn't say it well. He even ordered the assassination of troops by himself, and the people from the Nanzhen Fushi Department had no right to transfer troops.

If Zhang Ning can be eliminated through such direct means, although it is not glorious, nothing is wrong.

Qiao Niang said: That silver reward...

snort!Mr. Lu suddenly made a sound from his nose, and said in a serious tone that, you should not be greedy in life.

Qiao Niang said unhappily: The money I deserved was also well-written before. My lord said this ugly thing. How could it be called greed?

Don’t think that I don’t know, then Xu Guangcai gave you a lot of money, this is a stolen property!Lu Qianshi said.

OK, I don’t want the silver reward, okay?

Qiao Niang hurriedly raised her hand and pressed the table, but I didn't want to do it anymore. Now I have a sum of money enough to live for the rest of my life. I want to change places and live a peaceful life. This job is so scary, and I'll finish it if I'm caught... The old man also reminded me of the money. If the old man was really good to me, it would be fine if I didn't do this job, it would be fine to marry him. Anyway, he doesn't live much at that age and has no son, so the property is not mine?

She didn't know what she remembered, and suddenly burst out laughing again. He wanted me to give birth to a son for him to live a good life, and he didn't look at the half-district of the people who were buried in the soil. Someone was not satisfied with sleeping for a few nights.

I'm afraid it's not that easy.Mr. Lu said coldly.

Qiao Niang stopped her smile: What’s not easy, I can’t do it anymore?I found the letter to you for nothing. If you don’t even want a copper coin, who do you deserve?

Mr. Lu still said coldly: The Jinyiwei Officer never thought he could be worthy of anyone, as long as he could be worthy of the emperor.

You... Qiao Niang's expression suddenly froze, and she turned to a look of fear.

Mr. Lu broke a pair of chopsticks on the table with one hand and showed a fierce look on his face: If you dare to run, you must run out of the eyeliner of the Jinyiwei, otherwise I will be caught by you and ask you to beg for death!

Although Yu Qian, who was standing by, had no good impression of this woman, he couldn't listen to it anymore. Finally, he said: Your identity has not been revealed yet. It is very important for the court to find important news next time.As long as you catch or win the thief's head, I will let Lord Lu let you go and give you some extra silver. How about it?As long as you do the last thing, it will be better than taking the risk of going against the Jinyiwei, right?

Can I believe you?Qiao Niang suddenly became very helpless and despicable, making people unable to help but feel sympathy.

Mr. Lu smiled sinisterly and said: You may not believe me, but you can trust me, who is a gentleman.

Yu Qian really couldn't continue to say it because he couldn't interfere in the Jinyiwei's affairs at all. The cooperation in front of him was just a military intelligence requirement, and he had obtained the emperor's permission.

No matter what, the yin and yang can be used to deal with Zhang Ning, and Yu Qian firmly believes that he can face it calmly.

Qiao Niang asked timidly: What did the adults ask me to do the last thing?

Lu Qianshi said: It's very simple, just continue to act in your own drama.Tomorrow you will hire someone to restrain Xu Guangcai's body and then set up a mourning hall for him at home. Of course, we will cooperate with you to capture you as your neighbor.After being wronged in prison for a few days, it is reasonable for the government to not take a widow.Then you go out of the city and go to Chenzhou to find Xu Wenjun, Xu Guangcai's granddaughter.Then Xu Wenjun is a close friend of the thief. As long as you let her accept you, you can do a lot of things... How to deal with a teenage girl, don’t you need my official to teach you?

Xu Wenjun knew my existence, but now she learned that her grandfather was dead, and I was restrained by him and was implicated because of this, and she had no choice but to join her.This is not difficult.Qiao Niang pondered and pondered.

After explaining it clearly, Yu Qian said: Since that's the case, it's not convenient to stay for too long. Mr. Lu wants to leave with me?

Mr. Lu smiled lewdly and said: Don’t say that Qiao Niang is really a bit slutty, Lord Yu will reply first, and I will let her play with me.This official has been thinking about it for many days without any fish, but the girls in the brothel kiln are not much cleaner than Qiao Niang, and they even need money, which is worse than ready-made ones.

Say goodbye.Yu Qian only said two words, and felt very unhappy, so he got up and left.

When Yu Qian returned home, he was immediately questioned by Dong about what his relationship with the woman.Yu Qian suddenly said: You actually asked someone to follow me?Dong suddenly realized the truth and refused to speak.

Do you know that the person who follows me is from the Jinyiwei?

Yu Qian had a serious expression on his face. What are the people you sent to follow the Jinyiwei?It's really luck that I wasn't discovered. If I were caught, it would be nice to have him.

Dong said aggrievedly: My husband and the Jinyiwei went to have a secret meeting with a woman. Why can he do something serious?

Yu Qian walked two steps and could only explain it, otherwise it would be difficult to eliminate Dong's knot. That woman was a meticulous work. We wanted her to sneak into the thief Zhang Ning and just use her for the sake of major issues.What else can I have to do with that woman?You...ah!

Then I blamed my husband for his mistake, okay?Dong said aggrievedly, and after a moment she asked carefully, "Isn't it really that girl from Gu Chunhan or something?"

Yu Qian said: I still have some official duties to go back to the Central Army, so I don’t have to prepare dinner for me.

Husband...

Yu Qian returned to the former Senate courtyard and was in a bad mood.

The lady is really in trouble, and she doesn’t think about it: If I, Yu Qian, divorced my wife for a brothel prostitute, or divorced my wife and married another one, how would Shilin think of me?

Am I a fool like that?

As soon as he felt that he had no distractions, a follower came up and handed a letter and said: There was a woman who wanted to visit Futai outside the official office. The villain would inform him, but Futai did go out at that time.The woman left this letter and asked the villain to hand it over to Futai for a review.

I am deserving to send him to the Minister of State.Yu Qian only read five words and immediately recognized that the handwriting was from Gu Chunhan.I felt a little turbulent in my heart, and I put aside the thought that I had no distractions just now.

Gu Chunhan is indeed in Changde, and he had voted for Zhang Ning before, and Yu Qian knew about this.

She was originally a descendant of Jianwen's remnants, so she was sent to the old courtyard to sell herself and laughter; and Zhang Ning was the son of Jianwen.

It is reasonable for Gu Chunhan to join him to get rid of the prostitute's situation; and Yu Qian believes that she is more of a mutual understanding with Zhang Ning in opera, and those who are expert can understand that Gu Chunhan has reached a certain level of singing and dancing.

According to Yu Qian's understanding, Zhang Ning was also a literati. Although he only passed the exam for the title of Juren, his confidence in Jie Yuan's bold words in Nanzhili was not entirely arrogant. A literati who was really talented in writing sages would not be too bad in poetry, songs, and essays, and would also be in love with the wind, flowers, snow, moon, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Zhang Ning wrote lyrics for "Peony Pavilion", composed by Su Liangchen, a talented man from Jiangnan, and sang by Gu Chunhan, which was also a sensation. Even Yang Shaobao in the court also had a high evaluation of this song.

So it is completely normal for Gu Chunhan to join Zhang Ning.

Gu Chunhan was originally a fair-skinned woman who showed up in public, and there was nothing wrong with making friends everywhere.

She is in Changde, and now Changde is no longer in Zhang Ning's sphere of influence, so it must be a bit dangerous. It is understandable to contact a powerful old friend who protects himself.

In the letter left by Gu Chunhan, he made an appointment with a place to invite him to meet him.

See or not?

With Yu Qian's current background, he is not worried about being implicated. He can defeat him by using the trivial matter of meeting a prostitute?

That's too simple.

Thinking of the friendship in the past, Yu Qian really wanted to see her.

But this matter has to be secretly done. Yu is open and honest all his life, but he cannot avoid such a time...

If the wife finds out, it will be annoying to think about it.

Yu Qian brought seven or eight martial arts followers wearing ordinary people's clothes and traveled in a carriage.

After seeing those activities of Lu Chenshi, he became more cautious. After getting close to the agreed place, he asked his followers to squat nearby for observation, but there was nothing unusual.

He couldn't help but laugh at himself and said, "What can a weak woman do in a city with a large army?"

Can I still say something about military affairs to a singing girl like Xu Guangcai?

After knowing Gu Chunhan for many years, she is not that kind of person, and she is not the one who stabs her friends. If Gu Chunhan has a problem with her character, how could Yu Qian have such a long friendship with her?

On the banks of the Yuanshui River, there is a small bamboo building in the small weeping willows and peach and plum forest. It is built with the architectural style of the young people in Huguang. Such a place in the city must have been built by very rich officials or merchants.

The ladder of the small building is outside, and there is almost only one whole room above it. It is definitely not for living. It is mostly because the owner invites friends to recite poems and writes to spend their leisure time when he is intriguing.

The group of people walked slowly along the road along the road to the front of the building. Looking back, they could see the waves on the Yuan River and the boats in the river.

A series of a cappella came from the upper floor, and the most seductive spring scenery was this year... With the singing and sighing, the scenery of late autumn was sung into spring.

Yu Qian seemed to see the buds blooming on the branches of the peach tree, about to bloom lazyly in the spring light.

This trip is not in vain.

The most unfortunate thing is that there is no soundtrack with bamboo silk orchestral music, otherwise it would be better.Even if you listen to the sound alone, you can't appreciate its wonderfulness. Yu Qian is already a little impatient to climb the tower to watch.

When she sang that it was like flowers that were about the benefit of people, Yu Qian had already walked on the bamboo stairs.

A strong man ordered: You, you three, go upstairs with Futai; Li San, go back; others stay here.Don’t be distracted by a sissy and keep an eye on the situation!

Everyone replied: Yes!

As soon as they walked up the stairs, the singing suddenly came to an abrupt end. A young lady gently pulled open the bamboo door and said: Please, sir.

Yu Qian stepped into the threshold calmly and saw that there were musicians inside.

Five or six young men and women were kneeling by the wall with musical instruments. Apart from that, they only saw the maid who opened the door for him and a woman with a paper mask standing next to the front desk.

But Gu Chunhan's man was not seen. He saw a canvas hanging on the platform, with only two small yellow flowers embroidered on the canvas, except for that.There is a graceful figure inside.

A sound as nice as a yellow oriole said softly: I just practiced just now, and I really sang a song for Lord Yu.

Yu Qian didn't care about ordinary etiquette and said, "I'll listen carefully."

I haven't sang for a long time, don't laugh at me.

Yu Qian smiled and shook his head slowly, found a chair, and sat down steadily.
