Chapter two hundred and twentieth, the ring, the account book
The night was dark, and the faint stars and moon were not bright.
The closed back door suddenly opened. A woman looked out cautiously and saw nothing unusual. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to wave to the people behind her.
Several servant girls with big shoulders and round waists came out from behind, carrying a wooden box in pairs. The wooden box looked quite solid.
There was already a carriage parked at the back door. It was not Xi San's carriage. Xi San had left for some time.
The woman in the lead got on the carriage first, and together with the other servant woman, picked up the wooden boxes that were carried from below one by one, and waited until everything was completed.
The servant girl above jumped out of the carriage.
Another young man came out of the door. Looking at his clothes, he knew that he was the master. A boy was waiting on him.
The woman who came out first also jumped down from the carriage, waved her hand, and the other servant women went back first.
"Sir, please be careful on the road. When you get to that village tomorrow, my wife will ask you to rest there for a while." The old lady warned in a low voice. It was a quiet night, but any loud sound would make people feel uneasy.
"Okay, I know." Ning Qing said impatiently.
He was beaten that day, and his injuries are still not fully healed. Thinking about what his mother said, he felt angry. Yu Zhuqing actually looked down on him. This cheap girl didn't even check to see if anyone wanted him.
"Young master, when you get to Zhuangzi, you have a good rest. If there is no movement here in a few days, my wife will come to see you." The mother-in-law was still worried and watched the young man helping the limping Ning Qing get up.
carriage.
Ning Qing was in a bad mood. Ever since his aunt told him to marry Yu Zhuqing, in his eyes Yu Zhuqing was his. Now she didn't say anything about it and was even beaten.
It's strange that I felt better when I saw that so much of my family property was about to become someone else's.
Trust Chu Zidan, the second son of Kangbo Mansion? Why should he!
The carriage left the back door of Ning Mansion and turned towards the street. It could no longer leave the city tonight and had to leave the city tomorrow. At this time, it would go to a courtyard of Ning Mansion in the city. At dawn tomorrow, Ning Qing would leave the capital with the carriage.
, go to Zhuangzi outside the city.
Mrs. Ning asked her son to go there to rest for a while and relax temporarily.
After the carriage turned out of the alley where the back door of Ning Mansion was, it did not take the main road, but cautiously passed through the small alley.
The carriage was about to cross an intersection when suddenly a carriage came across from the opposite side and bumped into each other twice. Fortunately, both parties reacted quickly and each pulled their own carriage, and the two sides only bumped slightly.
"What's going on?" Ning Qing didn't pay attention and bumped into the injured area. The pain caused him to rush up angrily, cursed loudly, and asked the boy to go down to see the situation.
The boy went down for a while, but there was no movement.
Ning Qing became more and more annoyed. He opened the door of the carriage and was about to jump out. Before he could think about it, he opened the door and saw a man in black standing in front of the door. He raised his hand and punched him hard in the face.
"Who are you……"
The last sound disappeared into the night.
Another man in black came out, jumped on the carriage, changed the wooden box in the carriage to another carriage, and then drove the carriage away.
The man in black who stayed behind pushed Ning Qing inside, threw the carriage driver and the boy into the carriage, then jumped on the shaft, changed the direction and drove the carriage away.
The night is getting darker and darker, and there is no movement here anymore, as if nothing has happened...
Yu Xijiao appeared in Yu Ruiwen's study early in the morning, with Mingyue behind her carrying a food basket.
Entering the study room, she saw Yu Ruiwen sitting there without energy. Yu Xijiao stepped forward and bowed: "Father!"
"What are you doing here so early? You're in good health, why don't you have a good rest?" Yu Ruiwen said softly, putting down the things in his hands as he steeled himself.
Those were information-type things that Yu Ruiwen could never read in the past.
"I heard that my father was resting in the study last night and didn't sleep well for most of the night. My daughter didn't know what happened, so she made some soup to replenish her body."
Yu Xijiao asked Mingyue to put down the food basket, and she carefully took out a can of soup from it.
"It's nothing, nothing." Yu Ruiwen laughed, feeling heavy but unwilling to let his little daughter find out.
He took the soup and took a sip, nodding repeatedly. He really didn't sleep well last night, so he rushed to check some things about Prince Duan. The more he checked, the heavier he felt. How could he sleep well?
I woke up this morning feeling lightheaded, but I was still checking.
The soup is just right. Although it is hot, it is not scalding in the mouth. The medicinal taste is not very strong. The broth is delicious and has some medicinal taste, which actually makes people feel more delicious.
After drinking half the bowl in one go, Yu Ruiwen felt that he felt much better. He stretched out his hand to rub the center of his eyebrows and said, "Jiao'er, the soup is delicious. I have nothing to worry about as a father."
"Father, if you have anything, please discuss it with your daughter. Although your daughter doesn't have much ability, she might be of some use?"
Yu Xijiao was not in a hurry to leave. She sat down on a chair on the side and playfully gestured with her hand.
Seeing her smiling face and caring eyes, Yu Ruiwen's words became more and more appropriate. Yu Ruiwen's heart became softer and he no longer forced her to go back. Looking at her little daughter's pretty face, she felt more and more pressure.
Big.
He doesn't have one daughter, he has three daughters, and he can't let others plot against her.
"I heard that you are going to the palace with your grandmother tomorrow?" Yu Ruiwen asked.
"Grandma didn't take my daughter with me originally, but that day Prince Qi said that the Queen Mother should also summon my daughter. My daughter was afraid of going alone, so she might as well go with her grandmother," Yu Xijiao said.
These words made Yu Ruiwen feel deep in his heart, and he nodded: "You have never entered the palace alone, it is best to have someone with you. With your grandmother here, your father will feel more at ease. After entering the palace, everything will be heard
Your grandmother’s, don’t read what you can’t read, don’t listen to what you can’t listen to, remember to be careful.”
"Father, is the palace so unsafe?" Yu Xijiao asked in surprise.
"Everything you do in the palace must be done with caution. If you are not careful, you may get into trouble." Yu Ruiwen warned, looking at her daughter's well-behaved and weak appearance, it really made people feel uneasy.
"Father, I know that I will obey my grandmother's wishes in everything." Yu Xi was extremely gentle and gentle.
Seeing that her daughter seemed to be frightened, Yu Ruiwen coughed again: "You don't have to be too scared. After all, you saved Prince Qi. The Queen Mother dotes on Prince Qi very much, so she calls you over to thank you."
You, as long as you don't make any big mistakes, that's fine."
"King Yi went to the border to negotiate peace with the Southern Tang Dynasty. The two princes who may appear in the palace are Prince Duan and Prince Yong. When you see these two, you must be respectful, but don't be too concerned. They must be men after all. In the palace and with
Men should keep their distance and never talk too much."
Yu Ruiwen asked again.
Yu Xijiao responded one by one. Seeing that her little daughter was so obedient, Yu Ruiwen was in a good mood and fell in love with her little girl more and more. He suddenly said: "Listen to Prince Qi, the Queen will have a decree, and maybe the Queen will also
Call you over."
"Will it be tomorrow too?" Yu Xijiao raised her head.
"That's not necessarily true. If the Queen Mother is also with the Queen Mother tomorrow, she probably won't call you into the palace again." Yu Ruiwen thought for a moment and said.
"Thank you, father. My daughter will be careful." Yu Xijiao curved her lips slightly, smiled, and took the initiative to talk about yesterday's events, "Father, my daughter and my eldest sister went to see her embroidery shop yesterday."
"What's going on?" Yu Ruiwen - forced himself to listen to his little daughter's gossip.
"I don't see anything, it's just that there are so many people, and there seems to be some people who are just taking money but not doing anything." Yu Xijiao said.
"There is such a thing, so we need to investigate it carefully. If you need anything, just tell your father." Yu Ruiwen was furious. He had always heard that his eldest daughter's shop was not good, so he never paid attention to it, thinking that the business was not good.
I really can’t blame anyone for this. The eldest daughter’s temperament is like this. I didn’t expect that there was a human factor.
"Thank you father. My daughter and eldest sister want to investigate it carefully. Then they may really need father's help."
Yu Xijiao said, and after speaking, she looked at Yu Ruiwen with an uneasy expression.
"Don't worry, as long as you need me, my father will help you." Yu Ruiwen comforted his daughter's anxiety.
"Father, there is one more thing. My daughter doesn't know whether to talk about it or not." Yu Xijiao raised her thick eyelashes and looked at Yu Ruiwen, her expression becoming more and more abnormal.
As soon as he saw his little daughter's appearance, he knew something was really going on. Yu Ruiwen slowed down his voice for fear of scaring the little daughter: "If there is anything that should be discussed between father and daughter, it doesn't matter. Father can help you."
"It's not my daughter's thing, it's... it's my eldest sister's thing." Yu Xijiao lowered her head, hesitating.
"What's going on with Zhu Qing?" Yu Ruiwen was stunned.
"I've been checking the accounts with my eldest sister these days, and I always feel like there's something wrong with the accounts. Does father still remember what happened to Ning Qing?" Yu Xijiao said.
"Remember." When Ning Qing was mentioned, Yu Ruiwen felt disgusted.
"I heard from the eldest sister that when Ning Qing came to the house in the past, he seemed to be a good person, but in fact he kept disturbing the eldest sister. The eldest sister was very scared."
"This is unreasonable. Ning Qing should have been beaten properly before." Yu Ruiwen was furious. He really didn't know about this.
"Father, the eldest sister is afraid that in the future... there will be people like this. On the surface, they look humane, but in fact... they are not good. They may behave very well in front of their father, just like at that time.
Like Ning Qing, he will show his ugly face behind others."
Yu Xijiao looked very uneasy. She lowered her head, blinked her long curly eyelashes, and her voice became lower and lower.
It is really not good for girls to talk about such things at home. Many female training even states that girls should not talk about such things themselves, otherwise it will violate the female training, even if Yu Xijiao is talking about someone else's marriage, even if she is talking about someone else's marriage,
Yu Xijiao didn't say it clearly, it was a bit rude to the etiquette of women in the boudoir.
Especially my father!
However, Yu Ruiwen didn't feel that Yu Xijiao was rude, he only felt sad. Mothers usually ask their daughters about this kind of thing in private before their daughters would speak. Now, it doesn't matter whether their two daughters have mothers or not.
How much difference is there? Qian said that everyone will be treated equally. Is this true?
Yu Ruiwen felt uncomfortable for forcing his little daughter into such a situation.
"Let your eldest sister rest assured that if this happens again, I will not make a decision first. I will let your eldest sister see it for herself before making any decision."
