Chapter 200
"Oh, by the way, he also practiced Taoism, and he also has a Taoist name. Yu Yunhe met when he was practicing Taoism. When I was young, Lin Shiyi and the others teased him for not escaping into Buddhism, and only called him his Taoist name, so Xu Wenchang should not be sure. The name on the case file when Yu Yunhe’s case happened was Uncle Fu.”

Xiao Yi said: "The only ones who are in court now are Du Sizhong and Yao Yuantu."

"Maybe there is also my elder brother Congxie Xie Yan," Siqing sighed, "I think maybe Zheng Yiqin also knows. To be honest, I suspect that the reason why Lin Shibo turned against him back then might be because Zheng Yiqin didn't care about Yu Yunhe. But this is understandable, after all, who wants to take care of a treason case?"

"Zheng Yiqin was not slippery back then," Xiao Yi said, "You should ask Zheng Yiqin what kind of grievances he has with your Uncle Fu. If he killed you, would it be because of old grievances?"

Siqing shook her head, "Definitely not. If Zheng Yiqin killed me because of Uncle Fu, he would definitely not spend a lot of money to ask Uncle Wu to do it."

Xiao Yi nodded, "Let's talk about something else. Xiao Xu's rebellion in Prince Kang's mansion has involved many people, and he needs to be screened again."

Siqing said, "Are you worried?"

"I'm not at ease," Xiao Yi said, "It's best to go through it again, but I'm afraid that it will startle the snake and cause uneasiness."

Siqing glanced at Xiao Yi and said casually, "My cat is lost."

Xiao Yi didn't hear clearly, "Huh?"

It was already dark when Jiang Feng came back from the military guards of the government that day. After changing his clothes, he heard the sound of the flute in the garden. When he got closer, he saw Shen Jiangdong playing the flute in the water pavilion with his clothes on.Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Your wound doesn't hurt anymore?"

Shen Jiangdong smiled, "Are you back?" After speaking, he played "Congratulations to the Bridegroom" for a while:
The Jiangnan dream breaks Heng Gaozhu.The waves are sticky to the sky, the grapes are green, and the sky is misty and rainy.Cangboyi in front of the infinite building, whoever picks the apple blossoms will send it.But disappointed, Lan Zhourong and.When Wanli Yunfan will arrive, I will send Guhong off and see off thousands of mountains.Who sings the golden hazel for me.

Jiang Feng listened quietly, "Everyone in the court is praising you, boasting that you have won a great victory and returned to the court. You are humble and humble, like an ancient sage. Why are you not happy at all? The song is so sad and desolate."

Shen Jiangdong was victorious and returned to the court. There was a rumor in the court that he was going to be promoted to be the king of Pu'an County.

Shen Jiangdong was very indifferent, he added the title of San Gong during his illness.His younger sister Shen Huanhua was originally the adopted daughter of Concubine Ding'an Gui, and Dazong Zhengsi re-presented the late Shen Huanhua as Princess Anyang.He no longer valued these trivial things.

He thought to himself that giving Shen Huan a painting as Princess Anyang was most likely the proposal of Concubine Ding'an, Jiang Feng said softly: "Go and see Concubine Ding'an, the old man misses you very much."

Shen Jiangdong nodded and said: "Lan Cheng is leaving, how about inviting him to sit?"

Ye Lancheng was going to Xijing to take up his post, and Shen Jiangdong and his wife bought wine for him in the mansion, because Jiang Feng didn't know what to say to Ye Lancheng when Siqing was at Gu's house last time.Shen Jiangdong suddenly asked: "What's the reason for the big commotion today?"

Jiang Feng said: "Oh, the Queen's cat is lost, looking for it."

Shen Jiangdong was surprised, "The Queen's cat lost the entire Imperial Capital guards to find a cat for the Queen? Isn't the Queen afraid of being targeted by Wutai?"

Jiang Feng remained silent.

When the dishes were being prepared, someone came in to deliver a letter to Shen Jiangdong, Shen Jiangdong pulled it out to look at it and said: "Du Sizhong is going to be transferred to Zhejiang. His Majesty seems dissatisfied with Yao Yuantu's long stay in Zhejiang."

Jiang Feng's impression of him was still that he was favored by Xu Wenchang's daughter, and he was a little surprised when he heard that, "Didn't he just return to Beijing?"

Shen Jiangdong shook his head, "Let's not talk about this, the rose gnocchi I made, come and taste it."

The next day, Shen Jiangdong went to the palace to pay respects to Concubine Ding'an. Jiang Feng was going to go with him, but as soon as he went out, the army and guards of the government came to her. .”

The two parted, and Shen Jiangdong went to Yining Palace to meet Concubine Ding'an, and explained to Jiang Feng why she didn't come with her.He has been in and out of the palace since he was a child, and Concubine Ding'an has been taking care of their siblings. Seeing that he looked very bad, Concubine Ding'an talked about it for a long time, and then said: "I can't sleep well these days, I always dream about your sister .” After speaking, he sighed.

Shen Jiangdong said: "My wife just went to see Huanhua's grave last month, Miss Lao will always remember it."

Concubine Ding'an said: "Both Huanhua and Mo Wei left early, and the eldest princess's whereabouts are still unknown. They are a group of sisters, and their lives are not good. Yuanxi, I have something I have always wanted to ask you. What do you think of Jingguo?" The government's old case?"

Shen Jiangdong didn't dare to answer this kind of fatal torture, he hesitated for a moment, only to hear Concubine Ding'angui say again: "Lao Jing Wang is dead, Xiao Jiu never gets involved in the past. This time, the boss of King Kang's mansion Continuing to collude with Dingfan to rebel, I think the Yasukuni Mansion may wait..." She shook her head, obviously unable to guess Xiao Yi's thoughts.

Shen Jiangdong had no choice but to say: "War with Dingfan. After all these years of fighting, Han Xunli and his son have not been captured. Thinking about everything, we have to wait for the complete victory."

At this moment, the palace servants reported Jiang Feng's arrival, and Grand Concubine Ding'an said, "Let her in quickly."

Jiang Feng entered the palace wearing big red sleeves, a peacock and a crown to salute. Concubine Ding'an smiled and said, "What are you doing wearing these clothes? Sit down and talk."

Jiang Feng thanked him for his seat, Shen Jiangdong and his wife talked with Concubine Ding'an for a while, and then they left Yining Palace before dinner.Shen Jiangdong's face turned blue, Jiang Feng asked: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I'm a little tired."

"Your Majesty went to Nannei today, let's go back."

Shen Jiangdong asked: "Aren't you going to see the queen?"

Jiang Feng smiled, "Yuanxi, you are confused. Why should I go to see the queen if I have nothing to do?"

Ever since the explosion in the East Palace and Bai Luchu's death, she and Siqing have avoided suspicion.The three guards of the government army are nominally the personal guards of the Central Palace, but she and Yuan Lingbo later participated in co-organizing the Kang Wangfu Xiao Xu's rebellion case, but avoided the Central Palace.

Shen Jiangdong said: "You are more careful than me."

The whole imperial capital was looking for her beloved cat for Her Royal Highness. There were many people walking around holding civet cats on the street. Ye Lancheng just sighed when he saw it.He was silent when he entered Beijing, and he was also silent when he left Beijing.Mrs. Uncle Taiping asked Ye Lancheng as a matchmaker, but Ye Lancheng declined politely;

The next day, Ye Lancheng was going to leave Beijing to take up his post in Guanzhong. Gu Heng was not in Beijing because he went to Tonghe to pick up Yan Mowei, so in the end only Prince Taiping and Ye Lancheng said goodbye.Not long after leaving Beijing, he met Du Sizhong who returned to his hometown to work.When the two met, they recalled the embarrassing scene when they met the queen in Zhengqing Palace. Ye Lancheng came to Beijing in embarrassment, and left in embarrassment.

---

A few days after Du Sizhong went south, Lin Zhizhong, the son of his mentor Lin Shiyi, went to Beijing.It turned out that Lin Zhizhong's cousin Lin Xu married Gu Heng's brother Xie Yan.

Because Gu Heng's elder brother Xie Yan was transferred to the capital, Lin Zhizhong and his wife came to marry their younger sister.Lin Zhizhong went to Beijing first to resettle the house.Lin Zhizhong's father, Lin Shiyi, was Xu Wenchang's mentor, and Xu Wenchang was very enthusiastic when Lin Zhizhong came.Gu Heng thought about Si Qing's words and wanted to stay away from Xu Wenchang, so he hid in Tonghe and was not in a hurry to go to the imperial capital to meet Lin Zhizhong.

Less than half a month after Lin Zhizhong went to Beijing, Lin Zhizhong's wife sent Lin Zhizhong's cousin to Beijing to be married.

It turned out that when the Lin and Xie families were discussing marriage, Xie Yan knew that he would be transferred to the capital, so the Lin family invested in the purchase of a house in the imperial capital, and planned to make a dowry for the Lin family.

Gu Heng knew that the Xie family had been hollowed out, but he didn't know how Xie Yan's official reputation would be, otherwise the family might not be as good as the Lin family.However, the Lin and Xie families were old friends, and Lin Zhizhong knew Xie Yan well. Since the Lin family liked Xie Yan, they probably had their own considerations.

After Ye Lancheng and Du Sizhong left Beijing, it was Lin Xie who proposed marriage again. Gu Heng came to Beijing from Tonghe and Yan Mowei. Once he came to Beijing, someone knocked on the door in the middle of the night and asked, "Do you have a cat at home?"

Gu Heng was surprised, "Yes."

The man seemed to be a watchman, and he was carrying a dim lantern, "Is there a cat that came recently?" He opened a crumpled painting from the dirty skirt, and it was a raccoon cat. "Take it out and show me. Is there this one? The higher-ups asked you to check. I have knocked on your door several times since I came to your house."

Gu Heng said: "What crime did the cat commit? Are you still looking for cats?" But he still brought out both cats, because one was all black and the other was all white. Only two cats left.

Gu Heng was baffled, but the next day several groups of people in various costumes knocked on the door looking for the cat.Gu Heng went to sit at Wu Zhenying's house and was talking to him when someone came to ask about the cat.Gu Heng said: "Which cat committed a crime? Was it wanted all over the city?"

Uncle Lu smiled and said: "It's not a crime. I heard that the lady in the palace lost the cat, so I searched for it. I searched everywhere, but the arrest camp didn't arrest anyone, and instead hunted for cats."

Gu Heng said "ah", and Wu Zhenying said: "This is a big battle, I thought I was looking for a traitor."

In the blink of an eye, it was midsummer, and the Lin family was only waiting for Xie Yan to deliver an errand to Beijing. Gu Heng had been hiding away from Xu Wenchang since Yan Mowei came, and he didn't go to the Lin family very often, but Xu Wenchang ran to the Lin family very frequently.

In the past month, Shen Jiangdong's illness has been getting better day by day, but he still stays at home and does not go out.Jiang Feng was very busy with the affairs of the guard, and Uncle Chengping's second son got married, so she had to spare time to visit Uncle Taiping's mansion.

Mrs. Cheng Ping talked about Ye Lancheng, "I told my brother about a marriage earlier. She is the daughter of Taichang Temple Qing Qiao Changqing's family, and the aunt of Fang Hui's concubine. She is such a good girl, but he doesn't want to!"

Jiang Feng didn't tell Mrs. Chengping about Ye Lancheng's proposal to marry Shen Huanhua's former maid, Xia Ying, as the continuation, but said: "Look, he's in office, maybe he's attracted to a good woman."

After the summer heat eased, Xu Wenchang was too busy to go back home, Gu Hengxied that he was no longer in sight, so he asked Lin Zhizhong to go to Xishan for a tour, and even Wu and Fu went with him.

Lin Zhizhong promised to marry Xie Yan's little cousin, Mrs. Lin, who was waiting to be married, so she couldn't show her face everywhere, so she didn't come, only Lin Zhizhong and Mrs. Lin came.

Mrs. Lin is a warm person, and she gets along quite well with Yan Mowei, and the group went to Zhujinling, Xishan, talking and laughing.

Gu Heng considered in advance and deliberately chose a place farthest from Queer'an, the former residence of Empress Dowager Renkang, so as not to upset Yan Mowei.

Except for Wu Zhenying and Yan Mowei present, they all have old relationships with Jiangzuo Gushan Society.In the heyday of the Gushan Society, most of them were cabinet ministers in the court. Although it has declined, there are still many high-level officials, including Du Sizhong, Xu Wenchang and others from Lin Zhizhong's fellow sect.This time when the Lin family met Fu Linchuan and Gu Heng again in Beijing, they couldn't help talking about their old relationship.

Everyone walked to a meadow, and there was a small pavilion under a locust tree, without even a plaque.Gu Heng remembered that Du Sizhong was there when he came to play last time, and now that Du Sizhong has gone to Yuhang, he doesn't know if he is better or not.

Everyone sat down in the pavilion, Fu Linchuan had always been reticent, and went to the edge of the cliff to find herbs.Lin Zhizhong talked about Gu Heng's past in Jiangnan with great interest.Wu Zhenying suddenly looked up for a while, and said to Gu Heng: "Liang Fen, don't you think that's your sister!"

Gu Heng hurriedly turned his head to look, and it happened that Si Qing also saw them, and waved his wide sleeves.Wu Zhenying also waved his hand.

Siqing and Xiao Yi are wearing identical blue satin and crepe clothes today, Xiao Yi is a Taoist gown gauze cloak, and Siqing is a creamy white skirt with a cross-neck shirt.The two of them came all the way past the pavilion without any attendants.

Gu Heng looked at Yan Mowei, Yan Mowei was still smiling, nothing unusual.

Siqing and Xiao Yi approached and saw there were outsiders, Xiao Yi nodded vaguely to Wu Zhenying, Wu Zhenying also nodded, Siqing smiled first, "Uncle, what a coincidence." Then he smiled at Yan Mowei, "Ah When did sister-in-law come to Beijing from Tonghe?"

Yan Mowei just responded with a smile, and Xiao Yi remained silent.Gu Heng said to Si Qing: "Look at who this is, do you still recognize it?"

Because Fu Linchuan was old, both Siqing and Gu Heng had an advantage in terms of seniority. Except for Du Sizhong, who was a disciple of Lin Zhizhong's father, Lin Shiyi, when he was old, Lin Zhizhong and Xu Wenchang had already known their destiny.

Seeing Lin Zhizhong and his wife, Siqing still had a little impression, so she looked at Wu Zhenying, Wu Zhenying nodded, and Siqing quickly looked at Lin Zhizhong's wife.Siqing's appearance changed drastically, but Lin Zhizhong and his wife no longer recognized her.

Gu Heng then said: "This is Si Qing."

Both Lin Zhizhong and his wife knew about Siqing's loss in the past, and they were surprised when they heard that Siqing had been taken care of by Mrs. Lin when she was a child. Mrs. Lin couldn't believe it: "Siqing?!"

Siqing nodded with a smile, Madam Lin was stunned for a moment, and immediately stepped forward to wrap her arms around Siqing, "You are so old." She even choked up as she spoke.Siqing patted her on the back and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law still remembers me."

After the Yasukuni and Yu Yunhe incidents happened, Fu Linchuan was implicated and hid everywhere. He once fostered Siqing in the Lin family, and Mrs. Lin took great care of Siqing.The two reunited after a long absence, but Mrs. Lin was very savvy, she didn't ask Siqing why she lost her, and why she came to Beijing, she just stroked Siqing's shoulder and arm, and said incredulously: "Of course I remember, of course I remember, where did you come from?" That's good."

Lin Zhizhong also found it inconceivable, "At that time, Siqing was only so tall—" He touched his hand to his chest, and Siqing smiled and said, "Brother Lin, why are you exactly the same as what Uncle Wu said? Uncle saw it last year. I also said that you used to be so tall—" I also compared my hands to my chest, "Look at your temples are all white, how can I be so tall all the time?"

When everyone laughed, Siqing said to Lin Zhizhong and his wife, "This is my husband."

Then he said to Xiao Yi: "This is Mr. Lin Shiyi's son."

As a leading figure in Jiangzuo's literary world, Lin Shiyi became famous in his early years, and his son Lin Zhizhong was also quite famous in Jiangzuo.
