Return to the Qing Dynasty (34)

The beeswax sealed was a small folded kraft paper. She opened the paper and looked out of the cell. The pawn guarding was being called by the tall and thin woman. She said who it was. Xiaocai bought the sauce duck and asked everyone to come over and taste it. Then she looked down at the contents of the letter with confidence. The note was a small piece, the font was very small, and the words were very simple.

After seeing it, Li Sier stuffed it into her mouth and swallowed it directly, but her brows frowned.

What exactly do these people do? They know nothing about their background, so they believe in them? That is delusion.

Her only use now is to know the whereabouts of the silver that Longkodo and herself have worked hard for over the years, but this silver is the last way out, so how can she explain it?

The hope that had risen in my heart was shattered little by little. But then I thought, now I am just a life of death. I have long lost the power to be picky and choose.

These people are either really capable or have their own luck. It happens that their people know about their wealth by chance. No matter which one it is, they are their own luck. There is nothing to pick on when people are in desperate situations.

When the footsteps were heard at the prison door, Li Sier curled up, as if she had never given birth to anything.

Then the short and fat woman spoke, "What are you going to do with me?"

"Aren't you afraid of dying accidentally?" The tall and thin woman whispered, "I'm scared alone, please be my companion, I'll go in and take a look, I've been really tortured to death, no one is wrong, we can't get it."

Li Sier thought to herself, this woman was really anxious. She once again eliminated the master behind her from the power and power in her heart. She has been dealing with these so-called noble people over the years, and she knows these people so much. No matter how anxious these people are, they will not reach out to make such dirty money. So who is, who wants to make any money, and can reach out to such a place?

It's really puzzling.

But that doesn't matter, as long as they are alive, as long as they have the ability to help them meet Longkodo. They still have many things they have not explained to their son, but in short, they can't die now.

The sound of unlocking sounded in my ears, followed by very light footsteps. A pair of blue cloth cotton shoes with patches on the upper appeared in front of me. They looked very old and not warm. Perhaps because I had been staring at them for too long, the other party uneasy to retract her feet. This movement made her feel very familiar.

When did it happen? It was very young. At that time, she was still at home, and her parents and sisters at home. She always wore old shoes left by her sisters. When it was cold, she was covered with sores on her feet. At that time, she didn't like to go out because she was afraid that someone would stare at her. From head to toe, she couldn't even look at people. Occasionally, anyone stared at her patches for a while, she quickly shrank back. Later, she grew up and was sold. She had good food and good clothes in the powerful and noble family, and knew more, and then she realized that the emotion was called inferiority.

I don’t know who the person behind this woman is, so I’m probably a person who can’t give the people below. If this woman has money, even if it’s only thirty or fifty taels of silver, even if she’s poor, she won’t look like this, because she has confidence in her heart.

Money is a person’s courage!

She believed this.

But if this is true, how did this person ask the people below to work hard?

The tall and thin woman didn't give her time to think about it. She came closer and squatted down and reached out to touch her if she was angry. But her voice seemed to be coming from hell, which made people feel cold, "We don't have much time, please don't want to cooperate or not, and quickly give me a word."

Is it okay if I don’t want to? I’m afraid that this woman won’t tell her to live, but she is afraid that she will give her away.

She said "um" slightly and immediately felt the other person's joy.

The tall and thin woman touched her hand and looked out, and said loudly, "Fortunately, I still have a tone!" Then she lowered her voice, "Wait... You can do whatever I ask you to do..."

Lin Yutong was very busy, and Li Sier had just passed it. He had heard some of them intermittently, such as Kua Dai went to prison every now and then torture Li Sier, forcing her to tell him about the whereabouts of Zangyin, and even heard that he threatened with Yuzhu's life, but this person just kept biting. He heard that his teeth were knocked down, and no word was revealed, and he bit and said no. Just when she was amazed that this person was really a character, she suddenly heard the news that he was dead and could not stand the punishment!

Dead?

The Fourth Master looked at the seventh Master's note and showed a smile on his face. As the emperor was a lenient person, all kinds of stinky fish and rotten shrimps appeared again. The Seventh News reported that the Shuntian Sect was active frequently in the capital, with secret actions and unclear intentions. It was found that many people infiltrated the bottom of the yamen, including Yao, who was the one who was guarding Li Sier. He had been staring at her for a while, but he had not seen her contact with anyone, but for some reason, Li Sier died.

This is a coincidence.

She may not know that before the entourage around Kua Dai was in trouble, his family practiced medical treatment. Not to mention anything else, he knew whether he would beat someone to death. Not to mention that Kua Dai had not got what he wanted, even if he got it, he would not dare to torture the unexecuted prisoner to death. If it was really severe, Kua Dai would not look at the treatment. Then is Li Sier really dead?

Thinking of this, he handed it to Lin Yutong through a memorial, and then asked Su Peisheng to invite the seventh master to the palace.

Lin Yutong was extremely surprised, "Do you think the Shuntian Sect has taken a fancy to the silver in Li Sier's hand?"

Who else takes such risks for money except them?

It's true!

"Then this is really..." I didn't expect it.

But these people are easy to meet? Li Sier's value to them is limited to silver, and can Li Sier not know this? One wants to get all the money, and the other wants to use these people to get out. Those who want money hate the most are corrupt officials. Li Sier is more hateful than corrupt officials. Naturally, they cannot stand on the same position. Not to mention Li Sier's treacherous and will not show their trump card. Even if it is revealed, these people probably won't believe it. They will only force the money to fight wits and courage, and see who can fight. However, two fists cannot beat four hands, and Li Sier has some of them.

What's more, their every move is within the surveillance range of the Fourth Master, so I'll pretend to die... I hope Li Si'er will have good luck.

Compared with the cult, Li Sier is a small person who cannot be even smaller. Since she can foresee her ending, Lin Yutong will not spend much effort on her. She only asked about the Fourth Master Nian Gengyao, "It's time for the escort to come to Beijing!"

"It's been two days." The Fourth Master said as he thought of something, he suddenly changed the subject, "What do you think of Hongli's marriage?"

Why did you suddenly talk about this?

Before Lin Yutong could speak, Su Peisheng was already outside, "Seventh Master is here."

The Fourth Master stood up and went in front, and while walking out, he reminded Lin Yutong, "You have an idea about this."

No! I really don't want to make any decisions about this.

Lin Yutong was very annoyed, knowing that she was the most shameful person.

But the Fourth Master would not mention this matter suddenly, for some reason. Just as he was thinking, Su Peisheng laughed in with him.

OK! The Fourth Master called him over to solve his own doubts.

Lin Yutong pointed at her feet and said, "Sit down and talk, and take a rest." She didn't admire Su Peisheng for anything, but admired his standing skills. Anyway, Su Peisheng only had two postures, one was standing and the other was kneeling.

Su Peisheng was a little flattered, but thanked En, and sat down, "Empress, the master gave an order, saying that if you have anything to ask, just ask the servant, and everyone knows it."

"Hongli did something inappropriate?" After the Chinese New Year, Hongli, who was only fourteen years old, had already had the prototype of being romantic and affectionate. There were originally three girls in the yard, but after the filial piety period, I heard that there were two more. So, Lin Yutong was not maliciously guessing him. He did this.

Su Peisheng's face was a little embarrassed, "Empress and Virtue..."

It's true!

Lin Yutong thought that this daughter was really bold enough. Of course, this kind of relationship is really not a matter of substantive relationship. It is nothing more than just love and politeness, but this love has already gone a little bit.

Su Peisheng whispered: "He is the girl of the Fucha family, the cousin of the Twelve Concubines, the niece of Lord Maqi. Just because his father is in Chahar, this princess has always been kept in Lord Maqi's house."

Without Su Peisheng's detailed explanation, the Fucha family is a big family, and Lin Yutong has known it. In the past, because the Fucha family's girl cheated on her own Honghui once, she was really impressed by the Fucha family and couldn't forget it.

Of course, this girl is not the same as her stupid daughter-in-law, and she doesn't match her age. If you remember correctly, there are eight brothers on the top of the girl, and there is another younger brother below, the famous Fu Heng. It can be seen that she is an old girl. There should be another younger sister below, but the legitimate wife doesn't know. The only brother is the ninth brother. If such a girl is married to an ordinary family, she is really not afraid of bullying her husband's family. Of course, if she marrys to the royal family, it is indeed not to be underestimated. The number of people who are trustworthy will be so many at once. Or people are looking forward to the prosperity of their descendants. This benefit is not coming out. There are many brothers, which seems to be a rare advantage now.

I could recite the genealogy of the Fucha family in my heart, and then I heard Su Peisheng say it.

"When the Fourth Prince went to the Twelfth Master's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings, they met this princess. The two..." Su Peisheng said, his tone paused, as if he was looking for something to describe the relationship between the two. He paused for half a minute before saying, "The two... had a great conversation!"

What a great conversation?!

Then this is not a hurry to meet, but a face-to-face communication, and it should be that they have a good impression of each other.

Su Peisheng talked about who was in Yinlu Mansion that day, what did these people say, and why Hongli went to the inner house. Lin Yutong didn't listen to these things, and it didn't matter how they were born. The important ones have been born now.

If the Fourth Master still wants to use Ma Qi, the marriage between Hongli and Fucha family must be handled. As for the future, Ma Qi will be quite young this year. According to the Fourth Master’s plan, officials must have a certain length of time. When they reach a certain age, they must retire. Even if they are healthy, they cannot hold a position without letting go. If they retreat, they may be put into the political department, which is considered to be retreating to the second line. It is the same as when they go to the National People’s Congress and the CPPCC, and they have no real power! Give Hongli the help?

Very limited!

So there is really no need to think too much about this. I don’t know what the Fourth Master will do next, and no matter how good the plan is, it is useless. So, did the Fourth Master ignore Twelve?

I thought about both sides again and felt that as long as they were in love with each other, this would be done. Didn’t it mean that Qianlong and Empress Fucha had a deep relationship? Even if I miss someone for a lifetime, this would definitely be considered a lover. I really don’t want to do the matter of breaking up a couple. If you like it, marry me. It is definitely not an obstacle.

After making a decision, he didn't ask the Fourth Master, which was even more unfair to the Fourth Master. However, out of caution, Lin Yutong called Xipin. She was Hongli's biological mother and heard what he said first.

When Xipin saw Lin Yutong asking about Hongli’s marriage, she was happy. She was about to speak, but when she reached her mouth, she became, “...Of course I listened to Master Long Live and the Empress.”

Lin Yutong was a little impatient, "I don't have time to talk to you here. As for Hongli's marriage, you have been busy all these days. What do you think and which one you like? As long as they are willing, Hongli doesn't think it's bad. I will make the decision."

Xipin was owed, and then he said tentatively: "How about you look at the princess of Ortai?"

Ortai?

"Xilin Jueluo family?" Lin Yutong was surprised. It was really difficult for Xipin. How did she find out this? I have to say that she really had a different perspective. First, she had her own family, Ulanara family, then Zhaojia family, the Thirteenth Concubine, and then the Empress Dowager's family, Wuya family. Now, she found out the Xilin Jueluo family. In fact, there was no great person in this family, that is, Ortai. She was later praised as the three governors of the Yongzheng Dynasty and was later known as the three governors of the Yongzheng Dynasty.

One of the people, Ortai, was called together with Li Wei and Tian Wenjing! It was said that it was called together, but among these three, the Fourth Master was most interested in Ortai. In the past, the Fourth Master valued this person. At that time, he had an advantage, that was, he was both from Manchu and from imperial examinations. He was a civil servant in Manchu and was born to have a three-point favor. Now the Fourth Master will not be prejudiced by Manchu and Han people, and he still praised this person's talents.

If I remember correctly, Ortai had just served as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou before the New Year, and his wife and children had not been taken over. During the Chinese New Year this year, Ortai's wife brought her children to the palace to pay tribute. The daughter of that family looked pretty and pretty, but she was just pretty. Unexpectedly, she was attracted by Concubine Xi.

The daughter of the Fourth Master, who favors ministers and trusted ministers, has a good look at him.

But as long as Ortai is not stupid, he will not be happy. The Fourth Master is using Ortai a lot, so how could he get involved in the risk of the royal throne dispute? So, this is really not true!

Lin Yutong did not rush to reject Xipin, but called Honglilai.

Hongli must have inquired about it on the way. Although he didn't say the details, the palace maid with quips and saying "congratulations" all the time. He guessed a little. Now he was really anxious.

I used to think about this and that, and I never met other people's girls. At that time, I thought that marrying a wife and a virtuous girl would not be outrageous even if the girl from the whole family was not good-natured. As long as the Yue family was capable, this was a trivial matter. Anyway, I had Jieyuhua, so Gao was good.

But since she saw the girl from the Fucha family that day, she felt like she was scratching her claws. Although Gao was good, she was just good. How could she compare with her? Gao was pitiful, but Fucha made people feel cute and respectable. No matter what she said, she could take it up. After coming back, she repeatedly recalled the conversation between the two, and suddenly she felt like she finally had a confidante.

This feeling deepens every time you reminisce, as if you are possessed by a demon.

When he thought of marrying a concubine, he thought of that bright face. He really felt that no one could match his concubine except her. This impulse was almost uncontrollable. He reminded himself over and over again that he should not act willful, but then he thought, what's wrong with this girl being his concubine? Fu Cha's family is prominent, his father and brother are both capable, and his population is prosperous... Having such a family as a wife is a great addition to him.

In addition, the twelfth uncle said that he was introducing Ma Qi to him, but Ma Qi's attitude was very ambiguous. The old fox was the old fox and he didn't get into the trap at all. And the twelfth uncle and Ma Qi may not seem very close. Instead of hoping that the twelfth uncle who was not interested in the emperor Ama, it would be better to tie the Fucha family directly to his own chariot.

The more I think about it, the more I think it is reliable.

Therefore, when Lin Yutong asked, he almost didn't look at Xipin's face and directly talked about the Fucha family, "...Mishan's fourth son, Li Rongbao's eldest daughter..."

It's true.

Lin Yutong was not unexpected, but Xipin's expression was a little bad. She only knew that Mi Sihan's second son was Ma Qi, and she never knew what Li Rongbao was. Ma Qi was of high power, but he didn't look at his age. To put it bluntly, the soil was buried in his neck. The Emperor of Wansui was still healthy. Can he survive the Emperor? Even if he could survive, he was also an old minister of the late emperor. How could he be as important as the Ortai who promoted him? This person is now the governor, and it is only a matter of time to return to Beijing. When he came back then, it would be Ma Qi's position. If there was no Ortai, the Fucha family would be considered the best choice. She had thought about marrying the mother's family and the Fucha family, but she never thought about using Hongli's marriage to exchange with the Fucha family. In her opinion, this was a not-so-cost deal.

My mind circled, but couldn't say bad things about Fucha's family. My face turned red and I said, "This is not suitable."

Hongli looked at his mother in shock, why is it not suitable?

Lin Yutong shook her head in her heart. Hongli's situation is now different from that of Hongli in history. Therefore, Xipin's choices are not wrong. In history, the Fourth Master had long revealed a trace, and Hongli was the crown prince. At that time, the Niuhulu family didn't have to worry about who was the queen. No matter who it was, the future queen would be fine. There was no need to consider the issue of help. The Fucha family, who came from prominent people, naturally had her eyes as her. After all, this was the icing on the cake. I wanted to find someone more prominent than the Fucha family, and there was not much involvement in other mansions, so it was really hard to find. She was naturally satisfied with her daughter-in-law. It is different now. Hongli needs real help, not this kind of in-laws that looks good, but may not be used. Therefore, the Fucha family is very Ortai, and there is less realism.

Xipin did not look at Hongli, but only looked at Lin Yutong. Seeing that her rebuttal did not make the queen dislike, she became bolder, "...I am not saying that the girl from the Fucha family is not good...I am not saying that the twelve concubines are the cousin of this girl. Is it inappropriate that this uncle and nephew marry a sister?"

Lin Yutong was stunned, but she didn't expect that she had the courage to say this.
To be continued...
