The ghost king and princess of Feng Qingtian

Chapter 220

In everyone's mind, Chinese New Year is a day of family reunion. People who travel from south to north will go home as long as they can. They have all returned to their hometowns, leaving only some people who are too far away to hang around on the streets, but the number of people in the capital this year does not seem to have decreased, which may be related to the fact that Bai Ziyu opened a business and there are too many people coming to live.

The third son Zhang who was sent by Bai Ziyu to repair the river also returned to the capital, but he did not return to the Zhang family, but lived in the ghost king's mansion.He reported to Bai Ziyu the progress of building the river, and later the two talked about what Mr. Zhang had seen and heard along the way. Mr. Zhang said something that caught Bai Ziyu's attention.

On the way back to the capital, Mr. Zhang met some people from the rivers and lakes. They were dressed in common people's clothes and rushed towards the capital without their whereabouts.It's just that these people are not ordinary people after all, and they spend a lot of money, which can be seen from their words and deeds.Mr. Zhang San was also careful, and asked people to follow them for a while, and found that these people just rushed to Beijing, but did not harass the people, or intentionally caused trouble, so he let them go.

However, Bai Ziyu felt that it was a little unusual. Since Yun Yuhong was in Beijing, fewer people from the world came to Beijing, especially those in the underworld, they stayed farther away.There is no way, the ghost king is not only strong in martial arts, but the ghost king also likes black and white.However, some people from the orthodox sect came to Beijing without any influence. They came to Beijing openly and peacefully, and there was no problem with the government.These people are sneaky, and they should not be disciples of the righteous sect, so it seems a little strange that these underworld figures come to the capital for the New Year's Eve.

Bai Ziyu explained the doubts in his heart to Yun Yuhong, after all, Hong'er was clearer when it came to matters in the Jianghu.Yun Yuhong frowned upon hearing this.She has always suspected that there is a mysterious force brewing behind the scenes in Beijing, but these people are very alert, and will go dormant at the slightest sign of disturbance.She sent someone to investigate for a period of time without any major gains. She did have a bold conjecture, but this conjecture seemed absurd and lacked evidence.Now that I think about it, they are secretly gathering people, and maybe they will make a big move in the near future.

Yun Yuhong sent people to call the cheapskate and crybaby, let them go to investigate secretly, and let the unlucky ghosts enter the palace to protect the father, the emperor and the mother.Then they secretly recruited manpower and made some arrangements.Although she didn't know exactly what would happen, it would never be wrong to be more prepared.

It was thirty in a blink of an eye, and the whole world celebrated together, the sky was full of fireworks, and lights and festoons were decorated everywhere, and there was a lot of joy.The cheapskate sent back news and found the whereabouts of the gangsters, but they didn't make any movement.The cheapskate also tried to get close to them, wanting to know their purpose of coming to Beijing, but these people were very vigilant and very repulsive to outsiders, and he found nothing there.

Bai Ziyu was even more worried, and asked people to pay more attention to the movements of these people. After all, Hong'er was pregnant now, and she couldn't tolerate any mistakes.Because of the need to guard against these people in the Jianghu, the people in the ghost king's mansion have not had a good year.

The Qin family also did not have a good year.Every year at the beginning of the first day of the new year, each family will go to each other to pay New Year's greetings.It's just that no one who was originally close to the Qin family came over this year, and at most they only gave a gift.Few people invited the Qin family to the banquets organized by the wives of the various prefectures.The Qin family was suddenly isolated by the aristocratic families in Beijing.Mrs. Qin was so angry that she scolded the unlucky ghost in the end, thinking that everything was due to the unlucky ghost targeting the Qin family.

Master Qin was so annoyed that he couldn't help shouting: "Shut up, Hua'e is now in the palace with the queen, and has no intention of talking to you. You should have known about today's situation. There are only three major factions in the court. , the Zhou family and the Yu family have been at odds with our Qin family for many years, and you don't know that our Qin family was originally like this. It's just that because Huae married, Yang'er made up for it. The Qin family is full of flowers, and others That's why we went up to the pole to curry favor with us. Now that Hua'e is gone, the Qin family has no protection in the officialdom, but they have been beaten back to their original shape."

Mrs. Qin thought about the recent days, and felt wronged. As a woman, how could she know that there are so many twists and turns in the officialdom? Huae is just an orphan, her adoptive mother has no ability, and she has many shortcomings. Is it wrong to want to find a better wife for your son?Why is everyone blaming her now?The niece didn't become a daughter-in-law and left. Her husband and son didn't treat her well, and the Qin family was also dissatisfied with her. She was also for this family.

It wasn't until the resumption of the dynasty on the tenth day of the lunar new year that nothing happened in Beijing, and Yun Yuhong gradually felt relieved.It's just that Bai Ziyu feels that there are such a group of Jianghu people in Beijing, and most of them are underworld figures stranded in the capital, which is always a threat to the public security in Beijing.It's just that they don't make trouble, so it's not good to directly send troops to arrest them. I still worry about this matter every day.

The people and officials in Beijing didn't know about it, and they were still immersed in the aftertaste of the New Year.During the Spring Festival, there are countless big and small banquets of all kinds. The families moved more and became closer. Many families discussed the marriage of their children and discussed how to become in-laws one step closer.And the four young masters of the Yi family who have been followed by everyone have become influential figures in Beijing.

First of all, the fourth son of Yi, when the ghost king's mansion gathered a year ago, the young lady of the Cao family and the fourth son of the Yi family had a quarrel over a game of chess, and in this quarrel, the fourth son of Yi actually lost, so after returning The fourth son of Yi had a heart disease, and he couldn't forget this pungent and talented young lady of the Cao family.Years later, he simply asked his parents to go to Cao's family to propose marriage, but what he didn't expect was that Cao's family agreed immediately. After mentioning it with Bai Ziyu, the marriage of the two families was settled.

Then there is the second son of Yi. It turns out that the second master of Yi offended someone when he was out on a business trip, and was chased and killed by the murderer. When he was desperate, he was rescued by a chivalrous woman. After getting married, he turned around and left without saying a word, leaving only a back view that made people feel emotional, and the second son of Yi only saw her in Yun Yuhong's yard after nearly half a year of feeling, but it turned out to be Yun Yuhong's The personal maid laughed.Second Master Yi always wanted to thank Xiaocao, so after seeing her, he chased after her.And this scene happened to be seen by Taifu Yi. Taifu Yi thought he was open-minded, and as long as his son liked the background of his younger brother, he came to propose marriage after the year. Yun Yuhong asked what Xiaocao meant, Xiaocao After thinking about that funny nerd, he nodded, and the marriage was settled.Second Young Master Yi was the last to know the news, but this time he didn't object.

Mr. Yi's marriage was actually under consideration years ago, and he was talking about Mrs. Yi's niece, who had known Mr. Yi for a long time, so it could be said that they were childhood sweethearts.The third son Yi married the daughter of Taifu Li's family at that time. Taifu Li and Taifu Yi had a good friendship and admired each other's talents, so they decided to get closer.

The people and officials were all busy talking about marriage, the four empresses in the palace couldn't sit still anymore, and the four princes were not too young, and they would reach the age of marriage in two years, so it stands to reason that the marriage should also be settled.So the four of them approached Qianzong and the queen at the same time, and listed their favorite daughter-in-law candidates in a booklet and put them on Qianzong's case.The four noble concubines said they wanted the emperor and empress to choose, but in fact they all had their own little thoughts.Those listed in the brochure are all people recommended by her natal family, or representatives of various forces, who will help her son in the future.

Qianzong had a headache after reading all the brochures.Now the princes are brothers and sisters, and they get along in harmony. It would be great if they could live like this forever, but seeing this brochure made him clearly realize how impossible it is to do. .They are born as princes with an inescapable fate, whether they are willing or not, they are doomed to be pushed closer to the dragon chair by the people around them.Since ancient times, the struggle for the throne has been cruel.As they grow older, all this is finally on the agenda.They are going to choose concubines, they are going to get married, they are going to have their own prince's mansion, they are going to have their own influence, and they are going to start fighting for the throne. The book was still on the table, pointing at the four concubines but speechless.

The queen hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the princes are not too young, and it is reasonable for the younger sisters to worry about their marriage. How about this, this year's banquet in the fifteenth palace, the emperor invites all the ministers, you Take a look at all the young ladies in this booklet, and if there are any suitable ones, please decide for a few princes."

Qian Zong calmed down the anger in his heart. None of the people in this booklet can be selected, but this can't be said directly, or he can read it first and then find a reason to push it away.After Hong'er gives birth, we need to find some time to chat. Hong'er trained them at the beginning, so maybe they have already made arrangements or ideas.So Qian Zong nodded and said: "Let them prepare in private, and let me have a look at the dinner in two days."

The concubines were overjoyed.As long as Qian Zongsong agrees to betroth the prince, the matter will be half done.After returning, the main thing they need to do is the work of their sons.As long as the son said he liked it on the spot, the marriage would have to go through if it didn't work out.

The four princes didn't know that they were being watched by their mother and concubine, and they were still thinking about returning to the barracks in two days.They couldn't stay in the palace any longer. Apart from practicing martial arts every day, they took the little prince, five people and a monkey to wander the streets. Having seen the vast world, they have countless longings for the future, and the matter of marrying a wife and starting a family has never flashed in their minds.Therefore, they couldn't understand the thoughts of the four empresses, and they were unwilling to accept them.After the imperial concubines tried to coerce their sons by crying, making trouble, and hanging themselves, they succumbed on the surface, but secretly passed the news to Yun Yuhong. As for the method, it was very simple. A note, a letter: I don't want to get married, sister Huang help me!
