Chapter 456 The Situation in the Capital
Shen Yunyue entered the main house in the front yard. Mo Yisheng, dressed in a brocade robe, was sitting on a chair, talking in a low voice with the owner of Feiying Tower, Hu, who was also wearing a blue brocade robe.
"Uncle." Shen Yunyue called him uncle in a crisp voice.
Mo Yisheng raised his head.
He quickly stood up and said, "Yun Yue."
No matter how old the Princess of Qin is, in his eyes she is still the petite Shen Yunyue.
He walked over quickly.
He reached out and touched Shen Yunyue's hair.
"I've grown taller and older. I'm completely different now."
In less than two years.
The changes are so great.
"Uncle. Please sit down." Shen Yunyue was not her original self, and she had more respect for Mo Yisheng.
Mo Yisheng sat on the chair.
Hu Louzhu bowed to Shen Yunyue and said, "This subordinate greets the master."
"Get up and sit down."
Chunhe came over and changed the tea.
Mo Yisheng told Shen Yunyue about the situation in the capital. Half of the capital city of the Great Zhou was now occupied by Fu Xuanheng's men.
Especially where the granary is located.
There are only the capital city and the surrounding cities, and the prefectural cities to the northeast and east.
Duke Zheng suggested that the emperor move the capital.
Some people disagreed and thought that another general should be sent to reconquer the lost land.
"Now there are two groups of people quarreling endlessly."
At this point, Mo Yisheng sighed. "Now, I don't dare tell your aunt that you are here."
"Our Mo Mansion has been targeted by the Emperor's secret guards."
Today, thanks to the blessing of Mr. Hu, I took the opportunity to escape from the restaurant on Zhuque Street.
"I originally wanted to have my uncle have dinner at the mansion tonight. It seems I should send him a few jars of wine."
Mo Yisheng sighed.
"There's no rush to eat."
"Yun Yue. The Emperor is a little crazy. I heard that one day he cursed the deposed Crown Prince."
"snort."
Shen Yunyue sneered.
"How is the Great Zhou treasury doing now?"
"The treasury is empty, and the emperor killed several corrupt officials. He then raised some military pay." Mo Yisheng knew that every official in the court was in danger.
They were afraid that the emperor would run out of money and take action against them.
I dare not retire and return home.
As soon as he said he wanted to retire and return home, a false charge was immediately placed on his head.
It's just... very miserable.
Shen Yunyue's eyes turned dark, "Uncle, I think you should be more careful."
"Master Hu, please arrange for two skilled men to follow my uncle."
Hu Louzhu nodded and said:
"Master. I'll send it over tomorrow."
"Thank you for your trouble."
After chatting with Mo Yisheng, Shen Yunyue asked Anming to pack a few jars of good wine for Mo Yisheng.
First, send Mo Yisheng to the restaurant quietly.
After he leaves.
Shen Yunyue looked at Master Hu.
"If chaos really breaks out, the people from Feiying Tower will face the Five Cities Army and the Imperial Guards. How confident are they?"
Mr. Hu pondered for a moment.
"Twenty percent sure, without any external help."
"That's enough."
"Master, there's a secret passage in the mansion leading out of the city, right in the main courtyard." After Hu Louzhu finished speaking, he continued, "There's an underground river in the pond in our mansion, which leads to the moat and the Minjiang River outside the city."
Shen Yunyue looked at him in surprise.
"You know how to choose a place."
Hu Tiesheng smiled, his face fair and charming against his sky-blue brocade robe. He worked as an intelligence gatherer, had a rough name, and possessed a face that captivated everyone.
"I have searched every mansion in the capital."
After the incident at the Prince's Mansion, he felt very regretful.
If there had been a secret passage in the Prince's Mansion that day, at least the master and the others could have been saved.
As for future matters, we will make plans later.
That period of time.
Feiying Building was attacked by various groups, both assassinations and open attacks.
He narrowly escaped death and was seriously injured.
He hid in a cave to recuperate, and it took him several months to fully recover.
"General Rongyin can come to the mansion at any time."
"Um."
Hu Tiesheng stayed at the Shen Mansion for dinner in the evening.
He and Gu Qishao stayed together, and the four of them drank and played finger-guessing games.
Hu Tiesheng couldn't help but sigh:
"What I usually drink isn't wine. What I drank today is real wine."
Shen Yunyue did not eat with them.
She and Chunhe and a few others sat at the same table in the main courtyard.
There was a table in the yard.
Several people sat together.
Shen Yunyue poured the first glass of wine and slowly poured it to the ground.
"Cheers to Mu Ya."
Chunhe and a few others followed suit.
The first glass of wine was toasted to Mu Ya.
The rest of them ate and drank, and Chunhe and the others told Shen Yunyue what happened in Baijia Village.
*
Baijia Village.
The Shen family's eldest branch gave their land in Baijia Village to Patriarch Lu for management. Mo Yiran and his family's land were divided among Ou Ruoyang and several others for management.
Ou Ruoyang was afraid to go to the capital again.
She feels that in life, all she asks for is the safety and health of her family.
Besides, be content with a small fortune.
I don’t want to go to the capital anymore.
She discussed it with Tang Yun and others, and everyone thought it would be best to stay in Shihan County.
In the future, every family will buy a yard in Shihan County.
Let’s make our home here.
Mo Yiran handed over their property to Ou Ruoyang and others to manage.
Every year, a special person comes to collect money and check the account books.
The Shen family's eldest branch rented all the land to the head of the Lu family.
The head of the Lu family originally had great ambitions, but since his descendants had done bad things time and time again.
It also ruined his mood.
I just want to stay in Baijia Village to retire.
Besides, they really didn't have the face to ask the Shen family to take them with them to Beijing.
So he took the initiative to find An San to find out how the Fu family's land was arranged.
An San has received the letter.
"Master Lu, the master said that this piece of land south of Baijia Village is given to you." An San said seriously, "I hope Master Lu will teach the children well in the future."
"Sometimes, you have to be cruel when you need to be."
Patriarch Lu was startled.
"I understand. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Fu." The head of the Lu family had tears in his eyes. There were also dozens of acres of land in the south.
It is enough for them to have food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
An San also gave Shen Yunyue's approximately twenty acres of fertile land below Baijia Village and about ten acres of paddy fields near the back mountain to Grandpa Lu.
Mr. Lu was so moved that he was speechless.
When An San was doing these things.
Several women from the He family looked over.
They are very envious.
I heard that the Shen family and the Fu family are going back to the capital. They used to be Fu Xuanheng's closest relatives.
pity……
There is no turning back.
Mrs. He's face was full of bitterness, and Mr. He left Baijia Village with the silver.
He said he was going to the next town to buy land and settle down.
Leaving them as orphans and widows to live a hard life.
they……?
When did you have the right to speak?
The ladies at home who had useful opinions are either dead or crazy, and are no longer here.
An San came over carrying a sack of potatoes.
The potatoes were placed in the He family's yard.
"Our wife said that these potato seeds are for you. There are about ten acres of land behind the private school, which is considered a gift to you."
An San received a letter from Shen Yunyue.
After inquiring about the situation of the He family, I found out that those who did bad things were killed and those who went crazy left.
Mr. He is a cruel man.
He would definitely leave with the money and his grandson who he believed would have a promising future.
The rest were abandoned by him.
The women of the He family didn't expect that Shen Yunyue would give them ten acres of land and a sack of potatoes.
They knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
Since their exile, they have been cautious.
They managed to survive with their children.
The last bit of hope was also shattered by Mr. He.
"Thank you, Madam Fu."
"Wow, wow, wow..." Several women from the He family cried uncontrollably, and several thin children hurried over.
"mother."
"mother."
An San left.
The women hugged their children and cried bitterly:
"Remember, we are alive because of Fu Xuanheng and Shen Yunyue. They saved us."
The children were confused.
"Mom, did you say this was sent by Fu, Fu, Master Fu and his men?" The child, who was not even ten years old, didn't know how to address them.
After thinking about it, I decided to choose Master Fu.
"Yes. They sent it. He is our savior."
Several women cried loudly.
This alarmed the head of the Lu family and Old Man Lu, and they both sighed.
If you can help in the future, please do so.
Will the descendants of the He family here and the descendants of the He family taken away by Grandpa He fight in the future?
Mr. Lu was very curious.
It took several days to pack up.
Mo Yiran learned that Shen Yunyue had given ten acres of land to the He family.
So he asked the women from the He family to come over.
We gave them the clothes they had thrown away and some tables and chairs.
Mo Yiran pretended to say intentionally or unintentionally:
"As the saying goes. It doesn't matter if others look down on us, but it's not okay if they look down on our children."
"Look at our Xuan Heng. He didn't even continue the family tree of the Fu family. He started a new family tree from his grandmother." Mo Yiran smiled and pointed to the snacks on the table and said, "Madam He, have some tea and snacks."
"We've all suffered so much all the way from the capital. Frankly speaking, if you don't end this quickly in Baijia Village, when your son becomes powerful, won't that biased person still come out and suck your blood?"
"If it's filial piety, it doesn't matter. You can let your son pave the way for others. Are you happy with that?"
I'm not happy at all.
The eyes of the women in the He family were filled with anger.
Just because they were legitimate children, all the money could be given to them.
The old man took them to find another way out.
Leave these illegitimate children in Baijia Village.
"I'm not happy about it. Madam Shen is right. Why not just open another ancestral hall?"
"Let's go find the village chief now."
Mo Yiran hurriedly asked the maid to give him 20 taels of silver, "It will cost money to open the ancestral hall and register the household. This silver is for you."
"Just go ahead and do your work. I'll have the maids and servants pack up some old clothes and send them to your house."
The women in the He family were very touched.
They live in five or six bamboo houses, so they do have houses.
It's just quite empty inside.
When Mr. He left, he took away everything that could be taken away from the house.
They were so moved, “Mrs. Shen, let’s sort it out ourselves.”
Mo Yiran smiled kindly, "The night is long and dreams are many. While we are here, you can use the name."
The women heard it.
That’s true. I hurried back to get my household registration paper.
He went to find Chen Xiaogou again. Now Chen Xiaogou is the village chief.
When Chen Xiaogou heard that it was Mo Yiran's idea, he quickly asked someone to harness a carriage and took several women from the He family to the county town.
I changed my household registration certificate.
