Marrying a powerful eunuch three times

Chapter 243 Worship

Li Yun rubbed the jade ring in his hand, but he was not angry. Instead, he smiled gently and came to Shen Yunying.

He lowered his head and spoke softly:

"Yun Ying, my mother came here to pay respect to my grandparents, and naturally she was in a bad mood when she thought of the past. Yili is a girl who has never behaved at all. You come from a noble family, so you have to be more tolerant of her."

Shen Yunying was also angry.

Do I have to swallow my anger just because I come from a noble family?

She just thought about it again and again in her heart, but didn't dare to say anything more.

Beijing.

A man dressed like a beggar fell in front of the Jinyiwei gate and said, "I want to see the commander and Yao Tongzhi."

Someone helped him up.

"The commander has left the city. Yao Tongzhi is inside. Did you go to Cheng Xiao in Xiliang?"

Cheng Xiao was so hungry that she had no strength left.

"it's me."

The guard at the door saw that he was very hungry and told someone to quickly bring a bowl of noodles. "Bring the mushy noodles up, and pour a bowl of cold water into it when it's done."

He helped Cheng Xiao into the room.

Pour him a cup of warm tea.

Cheng Xiao took it, drank it in one gulp, and licked his lips.

"Please go and call the Tongzhi Lord."

"Wait a minute. The Tongzhi has some things to deal with right now. He will come over when he is done."

A big bowl of noodles was brought over.

Cheng Xiao held the bowl and wolfed down the noodles, the noodles going directly into her stomach as soon as they reached her mouth.

Like being in a hurry.

"Slow down. After we finish talking, there will be noodles for you to eat."

"I want to eat big meat."

"There is some meat for you to eat."

When his hunger subsided a little, Cheng Xiao asked someone to get him some water to wash his face.

Put down the bowl.

I covered my face with a handkerchief, and the wind and frost caused waves of stinging on my face.

Wipe for a while.

The water in the basin has turned black.

Yao Tongzhi came in and sat on the chair.

Cheng Xiao knelt down and saluted. "I am very lucky to be able to return to the capital alive to see the Tongzhi Lord. I kept this letter close to me, for fear that it would be searched by bandits and spies."

"Things have changed in Xiliang."

Yao Tongzhi was not afraid of changes in Xiliang, but was afraid of another war.

The people suffered devastatingly.

The current emperor is obsessed with cultivating immortality and wants to live a life of enlightenment. He also says that the day when he will transcend the calamity and ascend to heaven is not far away.

"Which prince is it?"

"It's a woman." Cheng Xiao was also surprised. It's not like Xiliang was without a prince.

Finally, the old emperor encountered a palace fight and turned the tide at the critical moment.

Many people were suppressed immediately.

He made one of his daughters the empress.

There is no place for women in the court.

Whether it was the Great Zhou, Liguo, Nanli, or Xiliang, even in small border states, men served as officials.

The girl was just spoiled at home since she was young.

When they grow up, they become valued items and are used for marriages within the family.

Yao Tongzhi took the letter and took a look at it.

"Is this empress a war advocate?"

"According to the spies in Xiliang, she is too much like the most warlike Emperor Guang of Xiliang. She has forced herself to study since she was young, and her martial arts skills are so good that even the generals of Xiliang cannot beat her."

Cheng Xiao remembered that she had met a princess once, but she was not yet an empress.

She smelled of the bloodthirstiness of the battlefield.

"Rest in the capital for a while. Come back after the New Year." Yao Tongzhi took off a purse from his body. "There are two hundred taels of silver in it. Take it first, and go to collect your salary and bonus at the end of the month."

"Thank you, Mr. Tongzhi."

Tongzhi Yao asked someone to pass the message to Shang Yan, but then he thought that today was an important day for Shang Yan.

"Forget it, let's wait until the commander comes back."

Yao Tongzhi asked Cheng Xiao to go back and rest.

He sat in a chair in a daze until Huo Mi came back and said that there was no charcoal fire in the brazier in the room. He ordered someone to come in and light the charcoal fire, and then Yao Tongzhi came to his senses.

Yao Tongzhi is in poor health.

Suffered great sin in the past.

In winter, you have to be more careful when serving your child, and even the food you eat is better than others.

Shang Yan instructed the Jinyiwei to serve Yao Tongzhi carefully.

"It's really terrible. The commander will definitely skin you alive when he comes back, and you don't even take good care of the Tongzhi." Huo Mi ordered people to boil ginger soup.

Yao Tongzhi smiled and said:

"How could it be such a coincidence?"

"You can't be careless about your health. The commander has instructed you to do so."

Yao Tongzhi's snow-white face turned red, and he realized that something was wrong with his throat. "You should ask Doctor Shen to come over and take a look at me."

Huo Mi was shocked.

"I told you your body is like porcelain."

He quickly asked someone to call Doctor Shen.

……

Su Rutang and his group have arrived at Master Yun’s tomb.

The offerings were placed.

Lighted incense.

Su Rutang was muttering to himself.

"Manager Yun, bring the gold and silver paper here and burn it."

"Hey."

Concubine Yun knelt in front of the tomb and whispered something. No one knew what she was saying.

There is a small house next to the tomb.

It is a temporary place to stay when you come to rest.

The place is not big.

A house built of stone.

It's clean and tidy inside, and you can tell at a glance that someone comes to clean it up regularly.

Li Yun did not kneel down, but stood and saluted.

He turned and went to the door of the small house.

I watched all this impatiently, and inadvertently found that there was a bookshelf in the room. There were some books on it.

He quickly pushed open the unlocked door.

The bookshelves are full of books.

There are even some books that are hard to find.

There are two rows of bookshelves.

Neither row was full.

Manager Yun came in to put things away and saw Li Yun standing in front of the bookshelf. He couldn't help but sigh:

"Originally, these two rows of bookshelves were full. There were even a few camphorwood boxes on the ground, which contained books that the master treasured when he was alive."

Li Yun: “…”

"If you regard it as a treasure, why did you put it here that day?"

"The Grand Tutor said that the descendants of the Yun family were not good at studying. Most of them sold the books they got.

He might as well carry the books with him, and if he finds someone who likes it, he can take it away."

Manager Yun has a simple and honest look on his face.

“Many of them were taken away by passing scholars and children of noble families.

The rest of these were left unclaimed.”

Manager Yun sighed.

"My kid wanted to take it too. I scolded him and told him that he only studied for a few years thanks to the relationship with the Grand Tutor. We can't let the Grand Tutor not have a single book."

Li Yun looked at the books as if they were treasures.

He couldn't imagine what the books that were taken away looked like.

Thinking of the other rare books on governing the world, he felt very uncomfortable, "What else does my grandfather have?"

Manager Yun shook his head.

"The Grand Tutor is such a nice person. He gave a lot of his things to his students and colleagues. He even gave a lot to the Emperor."

"Where's Sister Rutang?"

Li Yun suddenly said this, and he carefully observed Manager Yun's expression.

Manager Yun frowned.

"Miss Rutang encountered some troubles at that time because her ex-husband Zhou Chengru went to the mansion." Steward Yun complained: "I was working at the second gate at that time.

I know a little about the comings and goings of these people.

We, the people in the Second Gate, have been asking each other about this, and we heard that Zhou Chengru is the worst eater."

"Manager Yun."

"Commander." Manager Yun hurried out.

"I chatted with Master Li for a few minutes. Is that over?"

"Rutang said that the nearby manors are guarded by the Yun family. Take us over to have a look. And give us some gifts as a token of gratitude."

"Miss, you are so generous. I always prepare gifts for you every year."

"Go."

"Row."

Li Yun came out of the house and asked, "Manager Yun, do you have the key to this little house?"

"There is no key. The owner said it was a place for people passing by to rest." Manager Yun hurried out.

Concubine Yun came to Li Yun and asked:

"what happened?"

Li Yun said a few words.

Concubine Yun fell into deep thought, "Rutang must have had some dowry. When she married the young prince, she must have taken some things with her."

And that jade plaque.

Concubine Yun heard it vaguely, based on her understanding of her father.

It must have been given to Su Rutang.

"Mom. What if she doesn't show it?"

"I'll have a frank talk with her." Concubine Yun had long developed the character of "those who obey me will prosper, and those who disobey me will perish."

She could compensate Su Rutang with something else.

What he wanted must be given to him by Su Rutang.

Shangqi and Yaoyao were still talking to Master Yun in front of his tomb. The two little guys were chattering non-stop.

"Grandpa, you must remember me."

"I'm Yaoyao. If you've slept enough, get up and come play with me." Yaoyao propped up her chin towards the tombstone, "Mom said you've slept for a long time. Yaoyao, just sleep for a few hours. You can't sleep in all the time, okay?"

Shangqi slapped his forehead.

"Silly sister. Did the great grandfather pass away?"

"I know. Just tell me if Grandpa Taizu is lying in there?"

Shangqi thought for a moment and said, "It's lying inside."

"Yes. He just changed the place where he sleeps." Yaoyao explained seriously: "I just want Grandpa Taizu not to sleep all the time, and come to play with us when he wakes up."
