Lie down and eat melon in the protagonist group

Chapter 43: Forty-Three Secret Words 2
"Can I hit Zhu Luoying?" Ling Dang asked innocently.

"Uh..." Si Yunyao was at a loss for words.

"Isn't her aunt the Queen Mother? Can I hit the Queen Mother's family? They injured my face and hurt me for a long time. At that time, they kicked me back. Now I can't help but feel resentment when I think about it. I still want to Give her a few more hits." Lingdang expressed his eagerness to try, so he pulled her and ran outside, "Sister Yao, come with me!"

"I won't go!" Si Yunyue's face turned pale with fright, "Let me go!"

Ling Dang refused to let go and forcefully tried to drag her out of the house to fight. The sisters of the Si family stepped forward to persuade her, making a fuss, shouting, crying, and creating a chaotic atmosphere.

When I got in front of the old lady, what a coincidence, the elder Si Yunye was at home today, and he happened to be relaxing in the old lady's courtyard.

Si Yunyue's wrist turned red from being pulled by Ling Dang, and he lay on the old lady's lap crying until he was out of breath.

The old lady was busy coaxing people and had no time to lecture Ling Dang, who was happy to act like a fool.

So Ling Dang was taken away by his grandfather Si Yunyeshun.

It has been a while since I came to Si Yun's house, and this was the first time I was alone in a room with my grandfather Si Yunye.

She felt uncomfortable all over, as if there were lice crawling on her body, and she felt awkward.

Si Yunye wears regular clothes with sleeves, black and white hair, all tied up on top of his head with only a crown jade. He has a beard, a broad forehead and a straight nose, bright eyebrows, clear and elegant, and he is still very handsome despite his age. , it is not difficult to guess how handsome and talented he must have been when he was young.

He sat with a leisurely posture, holding a tea cup with one hand, and asked: "Have you ever practiced martial arts?"

"Well, I know a little bit about boxing." Ling Dang secretly thought that he would interrogate and lecture him, but he didn't expect that he would ask such a tricky question in a gentle and slow voice. Could it be that he was implying that she had hurt Si Yunyue, and he said that she was in a roundabout way? Too rude?
He asked again: "Can you shoot archery?"

Lingdang replied cautiously, "I know a little bit."

He laughed and then asked, "Can you ride a horse?"

"I can do it a little bit." It's just that my butt hurts after riding for a long time.

"That's good." Si Yunye lifted his robe and stood up, "Go horse racing with my grandfather."

Ling Dang was shocked and stared at him as he walked out.

Seeing that she was motionless, Si Yunye stopped and looked back at her, smiling and urging: "Dang girl, follow me."

"Oh, okay." Lingdang trotted to keep up with him.

All the way to the small racecourse of the mansion, the old man with a white beard took out a tame white horse, put on the saddle and bridle, adjusted the reins, and handed it to Ling Dang with a smile.

The old man patted the horse's cheek, handed over the whip, and said loudly to Lingdang: "This horse is obedient. Miss, please try to get on the horse?"

Ling Dang took the riding whip, quickly got on the horse, tightened the reins, tried the feel, leaned over slightly, then made a sound, and at the same time pinched the horse's belly, and the horse raised its hoofs in response.

But I saw her mane flying, her skirt and belt fluttering, I heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance accompanied by jingling bells, and the girl with bright eyes and white teeth turned into a ray of light and ran outside the racecourse.

The old man looked at Ling Dang, who was an expert in equestrian skills, with reminiscence in his eyes and said, "It's Miss Li, but not Miss Li."

Si Yunye said: "It's her child, Ling Dang."

"Bell?"

"The ambitious Ling. Uncle Zhang, please help me bring that old guy out, and I'll take Dang girl out to watch the wind."

"okay."

Ling Dang saw Si Yunye holding the horse, tightened the reins, stopped the horse and got down, "Grandpa?"

Si Yunye stroked the mane of the horse's neck gently and said: "The land is small and it is not easy to run. Grandpa will take you for a run outside."

Ling Dang said nothing, but his eyes became brighter and brighter.

One old and one young, riding horses one behind the other, galloped out of Jinyu Lane.

Ling Dang really didn't expect that her gentle grandfather would be so open-minded and open-minded, leading his granddaughter on horseback through the market, straight out of the market, and into the eastern suburbs.

As for Dongjiao Road, Ling Dang had only been out a few times and didn't know the road, so he followed Si Yunye into an alley that felt familiar, only to suddenly realize that this was the alley leading to the Ling family's residence.

As expected, not far after entering, he saw the stone steps leading out of the Ling family's gate.

Ling Dang was not stupid. How could he not know that Si Yunye had brought her here specially? He should not just let her pass through the house without letting her in.

Si Yunye rode his horse and stopped in front of Ling's house.

"Grandfather." Ling Dang was extremely grateful to him at this time. Grandfather should be a kind-hearted person, not a stubborn and old-fashioned person.

Si Yunye smiled and said, "I'm really thirsty. Can you please take my grandfather in for a cup of tea?"

"Okay." Ling Dang got off his horse and went up the steps to knock on the door.

The guard doorman opened the door and was surprised when he saw it was her: "Fourth girl?!"

"The fourth girl is back!" The shouts came one after another from the front to the back of the house, hovering on the eaves of the corridor for a long time.

As soon as Ling Dang and Si Yunye walked into the second door, they were hugged by Ling Qiong who rushed to greet her.

"I miss you so much!" Ling Qiong hugged her tightly.

Ji Ji showed up unhurriedly, looking at them with clear eyes, then looked at Si Yunye, and nodded to him.

They were followed closely by Pei Zhanqing and Ling Jing who were in a hurry, Ling Jing followed Yang Gan, and Fu An who was dragging Mrs. Zhang Dong and Mrs. Chuhua, and the last one was Kui Qing.

Ling Dang introduced his grandfather Si Yunye to his family. Si Yunye had no airs and was gentle in speech and demeanor. He could pick up the conversation with Ling Qiong in the flower hall about his layman's business experience, and he could talk to Ji about humanities and geography by quoting scriptures. We chatted about style and met each other so late that we regretted it.

Ling Dang went to the backyard to chat.

Pei Zhanqing praised: "Your grandfather is a kind man. No wonder in our generation, it is widely spread in Kyoto that the eldest son of the Si and Xie families is unparalleled in the world. He is worthy of being the wishful man who all the noble ladies of the aristocratic family want to marry." Jun. Thanks to the good fortune of the fourth girl, I finally get to see you today, and my reputation is well-deserved."

Ling Jing smiled and said: "I often heard that your grandfather treated your grandmother with deep love and loyalty. He has never had a concubine, not even a maid, but is it true?"

"Yes." Ling Dang nodded, "The Si family has an ancestral motto that those who inherit the family do not take concubines."

Pei Zhanqing was filled with envy, "It turns out that the family tradition is upright. But the rules are strict. Your grandfather must be upright in appearance, and your grandmother is unparalleled in talent and beauty. As the saying goes, lovers will eventually get married."

Ling Jing teased her: "You are being humble when you say this. I have heard that since you married into the Fu family, your stomach has been quiet. There were a lot of rumors outside at that time, and Master Fu also guarded it wholeheartedly. You?" Pei Zhanqing lowered her eyebrows and said softly: "If he didn't treat me sincerely, I would never risk my life to protect his family business, so I wiped my neck with a knife and followed him, so I can feel free."

Not wanting to see her living such a miserable life, Ling Jing comforted her and said, "You have to be thoughtful. There are many men in the world. I will help you pay attention."

Pei Zhanqing turned to look at Fu'an, caressed the top of his head, and said, "It's enough to have a caring person in this life. I have already given up on this worldly mentality. I just want to make more money and expand the Ling family's business to all countries. At the same time, I look forward to An An becoming an adult so that he can be the leader of our Fu family."

He is worthy of being a disciple who has mastered Ling Qiong's true inheritance. He is better than his master, ruthless and devoted to his career.

Ling Jing did not dissuade her, and only said: "At first, the eldest sister said the same thing, but now..." She left half of her words, half-winked her eyes, and said with a hint of teasing, "I'm sorry, I fell down with the monk."

"Who can compare to you, Miss Third?" Pei Zhanqing nudged Ling Jing's forehead and joked with her, "I don't open my eyes until the sun rises up, and when I hit the ground, I hold my waist and scream. It's so sore."

Ling Dang: "..." The two women who indulge in pornography, please pay attention to the influence, and take care of the pseudo-girls who are physically underage and can shoot rockets, so that they can understand.

He stayed at Ling's house and had dinner before heading back home.

Before leaving, Ling Cen secretly stuffed a pack of bottles and cans into her and whispered, "They are all good things prepared for you."

It was night in the Si Mansion, and lights were hung under the eaves of the mansion.

The eldest lady changed her husband Si Yunye's clothes and said softly: "I'll tell you later that you took A Dang on horseback to Ling's house this afternoon. How come you are so old and still act like a child and don't mind showing off?"

Si Yunye smiled and said: "It's good to show off. Now everyone in the capital knows that Si Yunye has recognized his granddaughter. Those children of the Ling family are all my grandchildren. Si Yunye has no descendants. You can stand upright in the future." Tell those gossips that you gave birth to a good daughter and left you seven grandchildren. She is a talented person, and all of them are good."

The eldest lady glared at him, "Have all the children seen it?"

"The second brother is out fighting, so it's rare to see him. But I saw the sixth brother. His appearance is really rare. He smiles before meeting someone. You can tell at a glance that he is a smart person. He can tell things by watching his words."

The eldest lady did not look happy, but instead frowned. She combed her long hair, and the mirror showed strands of white hair intermingled with it. She paused and said, "Where did they come from? Seven. Let's not mention the big ones for now. Let’s talk about the three girls. I’m afraid they have some connection with the Zhu family, and they married themselves out in a daze. And the youngest child was adopted by Ah Li. They only have four children at all costs.”

Si Yunye took the grate in her hand, put it in the palm of his hand, combed it carefully, and said, "The child raised by my girl is my grandson."

The candlelight flickered in the room, and the eldest lady's face became blurred. She lowered her voice and said, "That girl Ah Yao has a bad temper. Girl Liu's self-cultivation over the years has been in vain. She can't manage her own affairs, and she has to raise a child." I don’t know the seriousness of the affair, which really hurts my heart. Brother Kun has not been very peaceful recently, do you really think that it is so easy for my eldest brother to beg for nothing?"

"I have to wrong you for a while." Si Yunye put down the grate, helped her turn around, leaned forward, and placed his lips on her eyebrows, "The old lady is old and can't stand it. She is getting older, and the child's temperament, All I want in my heart is that my family and everything will be prosperous, that my family will be full of children and grandchildren, that I will be happy and happy, and that I will live a long life. It’s not worth it to quarrel with me right now.”

The eldest lady held his face and said softly: "My mother-in-law treats me like her own child. I have never given birth to a child for so many years, and she has never interfered in our private affairs. My mother-in-law is sensible, so how can I not do everything for her?" For your own sake? She is your mother, and I treat her like my own mother. I wish her a long life and good health day and night. I have seen so many dirty homes since I was a child, and I can’t even talk about my grievances. I’m just worried that A Dang is too sincere and won’t get used to it. , becoming more and more estranged from me."

"Madam, you are worrying too much." Si Yunye said, "Girl Dang is open-minded and as wise as a fool. Don't underestimate her. Brother Lao Wuhuai..."

"how?"

"Guanyin noodles can eat people."

The eldest lady was shocked. She suddenly recalled that the last time he said "can eat people", he used it to describe Emperor Wu of Zhou who was ambitious and wanted to usurp the Jin Dynasty.

"The mind is thoughtful and unfathomable. It's good to know how to eat people. Our Si Yun family has a successor." Si Yunye straightened his back, "I'm not at home, so I have to trouble Madam to be more careful on weekdays and not let the children in the family go. If something bad happens in front of Brother Huai, don't bring up a ridiculous thing with no body left in front of the wife and make her angry. If the wife wants to have a good life, separate the family, three bedrooms and two bedrooms, don't try to bully Brother Huai If you take advantage and accidentally make him angry, he will definitely do ruthless things."

"This temper..." The eldest lady frowned.

"It's confirmed." Si Yunye shook his head helplessly, "I sent people to investigate privately. The murder case of the Fu family in Shangfu City has been reversed again and again. The final verdict of the murder case has been reversed. At that time, the Ling family There is only one third girl in the house who is a housekeeper, Dang Yatou is not good at this, and there is only one brother Huai left who is literate and understands the rules."

"Are you so sure it was his idea?"

Si Yunye stroked his beard and smiled, the wax liquid dripped from the candle wick and slid down the slender wax body into the groove of the lamp.

Not long ago, Ling Huai was at home, but he didn't rush back. Instead, he said, "Can I trust you?"

Si Yunye stared at him, "What do you mean by this?"

Ling Huai took out a few old letters, which he had dug up in the back of Fu's ancestral home not long ago due to illness. He said: "Eldest sister Ling Qiong's life experience, and your relationship with Du Du under the guise of the former Empress Wenzhen." The female Si Yunli kept exchanging letters, informing her of the list of former ministers and officials of the former dynasty who were hiding in the Zhou court, as well as the hiding place of Emperor Gong'an's real abdication edict. Based on your daily handwriting habits, I found out that these letters were all written by you."

Si Yunye stroked the cup and remained silent, neither admitting nor denying.

Ling Huai's emotions were ups and downs.

In the last life, Si Yunye knew everything but did nothing. No, it’s not that he didn’t do anything. He also did one more thing, which was to rob the Ning family in secret. He pushed the Ning family to achieve what they wanted, but he abruptly killed the Ning family’s Dengtian who was dedicated to restoring the country. road.

You don't even have to look into it to know why he did what he did.

He just avenged his daughter.

Si Yunli died at the hands of the Ning family! The Ning family must die, and it must not be a good death. It must die without fulfilling its ambition, and it must die in a useless state.

In the previous life, the Ning family used blood ties to tie Ling Qiong to help them collect money and food. They spent a lot of money to win over old ministers of the previous dynasty, not to mention Ling Feng, who had military power. The two families grew step by step to the point of intimidating the royal family.

In the beginning, Lin Yilong was able to usurp the throne of the young emperor so easily. In addition to his adviser Kuang Yan, there was also Si Yunye who lurked in the dark and contributed to the trouble.

The ending can be imagined. After the regent Lin Yilong ascends the throne, what will happen to the Ning family and the Ling family who threatened the royal family during the young emperor's period?
Nothing more than a death.

Everything is ready-made from the beginning, remnants of the previous dynasty.

Si Yunye in the previous life had no reason to be merciful to the Ling family.

The eldest sister Ling Qiong was not Si Yunli's biological child, but died because she suffered so much and went to get close to the Ning family, which made Si Yunye resentful. The second brother Ling Feng died on the battlefield. He was in the middle of the court and couldn't reach him. I'm afraid he talked to Ling Feng in private and gave him some advice, but because of Ling Feng's stubborn temperament, he wouldn't take what he said to heart. Even more so, he devoted himself to the battlefield and refused to return to Si Yun's house to protect himself.

The third sister, Ling Jing, married Lin Yilong and accompanied him from the princess to the queen. They had a deep relationship. Si Yunye was not worried about what Lin Yilong would do to his woman.

And he himself was already in the northern court at that time, and he was helpless against the overt and covert struggles of the Zhou Dynasty.

Ling Dang, Ling Cen, and Ling An disappeared again, and their whereabouts were unknown, let alone meeting each other. From the beginning to the end, Si Yunye believed that his daughter had only one child, and that was Ling Feng.

Therefore, Si Yunye used Lin Yilong's help to get rid of the Ning family and Ling Qiong. Unexpectedly, Lin Yilong was ruthless and secretly killed Ling Feng.

How could Si Yunye, a grandson like him, not take revenge, so Ling Jing had a night banquet to kill the king and set fire to the palace.

In the previous life, the Ling family was exterminated, and all the emperors named Zhou were short-lived. All the reasons that happened during this period were revealed by the coincidence of this life because of this letter that was sealed in the "Peach and Plum Shuangshu". After solving the mystery, we finally put the pieces together.

Until this moment, he didn't know what it was like for a noble family to control the general situation of the world and the lives of the royal family, without spending a single soldier, let alone showing up, and indirectly killing people invisible.

What is the Ning family? At most, he can be regarded as the initiator.

Si Yunye is the real secret operator.
