Chapter 62
Chapter 62
The next day, the second day of the Lunar New Year, Yunqi got up early in the morning, waited for the young monks to finish their morning classes and breakfast, and then took them to ride a sleigh on the lake in Qiyunju.
Dogs pull people, horse-drawn people, people pull people, people pull dogs, dogs pull dogs... all kinds of tricks come out, and there are also various self-made "sleds" on the stage. Even if you take off your big clothes, you can still have fun The body is sweaty.
"My lord! My lord!"
The housekeeper yelled several times by the lake, and was reminded by Qing Yi, Yun Qi realized that the word "Master" was referring to him, and when he turned his head, he saw Qin Yi standing next to the housekeeper, so he jumped off the sled and said with a smile : "Master Qin, why did you come so early? Didn't you say that you will pick him up in the afternoon?"
"Your Majesty didn't send me here," Qin Yi bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty is here to pay New Year's greetings to Master Guoshi."
Big Hei's official accent sounded like that.
Yun Qi laughed, only to hear Qin Yi say again: "Come here for a meal... The food at home is almost inedible, you can hardly see anything on the table except meat, your gums have been swollen for several days, and half of your face is in pain of."
While stretching out his hand, Yun Qi borrowed his strength to go ashore, said "Hey", and grabbed Qin Yi's loose hand again, poked his palm twice with his finger, and wondered: "The cocoon is still a hard cocoon, why is it not so prickly?" ?”
Qin Yi's hand retracted like an electric shock, and when Yun Qi raised his head, he saw Qin Yi's black face was about to turn purple, it was rare for him to be able to maintain a stern expression, and his eyes were still strong.
Yun Qi wanted to comfort him, it's not a shame for a man to put some ointment on his hands, but he was worried that once he said this, he seemed to have a thick skin and could keep his face expressionless under any circumstances. A man would just dig a hole in the ground and get in, so he pretended not to see it, changed the subject in good faith, and asked, "General Qin is here to pay New Year's greetings, did you bring the red envelope?"
Qin Yi touched his sleeve subconsciously, and before he could speak, he heard Yun Qi shouting: "General Qin has given out red envelopes! Come and get the red envelopes! First come, first served! Hands are fast and hands are slow!"
"yeah!"
Amidst a burst of cheers, the little baldheads dropped their things and rushed over: "Red envelopes! Red envelopes!"
Qin Yi dismissed a group of young monks and six shameless servants with a expressionless face and a numb scalp, when Yun Qi stretched out his hand and said, "Where's mine?"
He hasn't turned sixteen yet, so of course he should have a share of the red envelopes given out during the Chinese New Year.
Qin Yi took out a small box from his sleeve, handed it to Yun Qi, and said, "Aren't you practicing talismans? I just picked a pen. I heard it was made by a famous Jiangnan master...but I'm a rough person, so I don't know much about it. Knowing this, I don’t know if it’s true or not.”
Yun Qi opened his eyes and said, "It's a good pen, thank you very much."
Putting the pen into his sleeve, he said: "I said, why did General Qin go uncharacteristically today and wear clothes with wide sleeves, so he came prepared!"
Such a pile of presents, how could he put them down.
Qin Yi said: "When you become an official, you have to carry a few purses filled with broken silver with you wherever you go, ready to reward people at any time, especially during the New Year's Eve.
"The reason is the same as those women who go out to be guests, they always put a few more worthless hairpins on their heads, and wear a few more bracelets on their hands... Who knows when there will be some juniors who need to give gifts ?”
Yun Qi laughed and said: "General Qin is very good at this, he even knows about women and Taoists."
"No, no," Qin Yi hurriedly explained: "I made a fool of myself on this before. Later, when my friend taught me, that's what I said. I'll just learn it for you. No, no other meaning."
What's the point?What else could it mean?
Qin Yi also realized that he had said something wrong, and said immediately: "But the purses of the little masters are not the kind to reward servants. I prepared them specially when I came here."
"It doesn't matter if it's true," Yun Qi said, shaking his hands, "It's the New Year's Eve, it's just for fun..."
When he saw Qin Yi touching his sleeve, he knew that he was already prepared, otherwise he wouldn't have let the young monks come over - he and Qin Yi hadn't gotten close enough to deliberately tease him like this.
He said again: "By the way, can General Qin endure hardship?"
Qin Yi was stunned: "Enduring hardship?"
Why do you ask this?Could it be that there is something embarrassing that needs his help?
He hurriedly said: "I have practiced martial arts since childhood, if I can't bear hardships, then..."
Yun Qi burst out laughing, and said: "It's not about suffering. In the Kudu Temple, there are lotus hearts saved last year. They are used to make tea and drink to clear the fire. It is very bitter. I never drink it anyway. If General Qin is not afraid Bitter, let me get some for you."
Suddenly, Qin Yi coughed dryly and said, "That would be the best. I originally wanted to take some medicine, but the old man at home said that if you don't take medicine during the first month, don't take it, so I just endured it."
Yun Qi turned to the housekeeper, and said: "You instruct the kitchen to add two light dishes, stew them softer, and send someone to Kudu Temple to bring over two liang of lotus hearts."
He said again: "General Qin, can you go for a walk by yourself first? I'll take a bath and change my clothes. I'll eat later."
Qin Yi nodded: "Yun... National Teacher, please do it yourself."
Yun Dian nodded and greeted again, telling the crazy boys in the lake to disperse quickly and go back to take a bath and eat before turning around and leaving.
Qin Yi stood where he was, looked at Yun Qi's back, and suddenly felt a little frustrated: Mr. Yun... Master of the National Teacher... He is getting more and more familiar, but the address is getting farther and farther away.
Yun Qi got out of the bath and changed his clothes, and found that the group of disobedient boys were still playing wildly in the lake, and there was a big black guy inside: Qin Yi and Qing Si were each driving a sled, pulled by ten dogs, Running around the lake, surrounded by a bunch of cheering and encouraging people.
When they rushed to the finish line, there was another burst of clamor, and a group of people gathered together, making endless noise.
Seeing what they were doing, Yun Qi became very angry immediately, and jumped down the lake to chase them away: "Hurry up and go back to take a bath and eat, it's Chinese New Year, the bamboo board in Pu Hong's hand is very eager to eat meat !"
The little monks immediately dispersed, Yun Qi looked at Qing Yi and the others who were smiling, and said angrily: "What is not good to teach, teach the little monks to gamble! Believe it or not, you guys are also playing the bamboo boards of Nephew Pu Hong ? Hurry up and go take a shower!"
So Qing Yiliu also rushed away.
Qin Yi was a little embarrassed, but fortunately Yun Qi only glared at him and didn't scold him together.
Because of Yun Qi's preference, Qi Yunju's dining table always has more vegetables and less meat, and it is rare to eat these during the Chinese New Year.
Because of Qin Yi's good appetite and surprising appearance, Yun Qi even ate half a bowl of rice.
After dinner, Qin Yi bid farewell and left, Yun Qi went back to his room for a nap, woke up and went out, only to find that the person who had just bid farewell not long ago was sitting outside reading a book.
Yun Qi rubbed his eyes, but Qin Yi coughed dryly and said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty ordered me to take you to Beijing."
Yun Qi couldn't bear to look at the sky: How long did this person stay home before he came running again?
Qin Yi said: "As soon as I entered the city gate, I was stopped by my family."
The author hasn't arrived home yet!
However, it is not meaningless for Qin Yi to make such an extra trip. At least he came alone on the first trip, and brought a few guards with him on the second trip. The standard is much higher.
……
The carriage stopped, Yun Qi got out of the car, looked at the two big stone lions by his side, and then looked at the big word "Yunfu" above his head, he couldn't help but be a bit stunned: "What place is this?"
This is obviously not a restaurant or teahouse, Yunfu?Is there a senior official named Yun in the capital?Or the kind that allows the emperor to borrow his place to treat guests to dinner?
Qin Yi was a little amused, and said, "Your home."
Yun Qi was stunned: "My family?"
Then it dawned on him that this was probably the five-entry mansion that Emperor Qian paid him in order to repay the eldest princess' debt.
Just about to go in and have a look, Qin Yi said again: "This was originally His Majesty's hidden residence, which has been vacant and has not been given to anyone. His Majesty will occasionally come to live for a few days, and a few days ago he ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to repair it... "
Yun Qi paused, suddenly felt that the house became more and more unpleasant, and asked: "Is there a tea house or tavern nearby that is cleaner?"
Qin Yi gave a wry smile, but he didn't try to persuade him. He pondered for a while and said, "Not far from here is a 'Ming Garden', which is quite big. There are some Qing people who are good at singing and dancing, and can recite poems and fight against each other. Officials from the yamen occasionally meet here, and scholars often set up a courtyard to hold literary meetings..."
Before he finished speaking, Yun Qi called out: "Qing Yi!"
Qingyi understood, cupped his fists and said: "Yes, young master!"
"Have you brought any money?"
Qing Yi smiled and said, "Young Master, don't worry."
Hit the horse and leave.
Yun Qi turned around and got into the car: "Let's go!"
Qin Yi had no choice but to order people to report the news separately, and then turned around to go to "Mingyuan".
……
The place of Mingyuan is really big enough, the courtyard rented by Qingyi alone is not small, the house is spacious, there is a rockery pavilion outside the house, and a small pond.
When Emperor Qian and Gu Yunqing entered, Yun Qi was the only person left in the whole courtyard, squatting beside the brazier, pulling out the peanuts and chestnuts that were emitting black smoke, shelling them and eating them.
The things that had just been pulled out were very hot, and the young man was so hot that he quickly withdrew his hands from time to time, then pinched his ears, put his fingers on his lips and blew before continuing, so focused that people couldn't bear to disturb him.
Yun Qi threw the last chestnut into his mouth, and when he looked up, he saw two people standing at the door, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "I learned from my master, I want to bake something when I see a fire."
Emperor Qian smiled and said: "Scared me, I thought you were going to invite me and Yun Qing to eat this today!"
Come in and be seated.
Yun Qi stood up, washed his hands, poured tea, and then sat down.
Then drink tea.
After drinking a cup of tea, no one spoke.
Yun got up, refilled the tea, returned to the seat and put down the teapot, which hit the table with a soft sound.
Two pairs of eyes fell on him at the same time, Yun Qi did not sit down, and said: "My surname is Yun, my first name is Qi, my father is Yun Hanshan, and my mother is Chou Niang."
The sound is clear and clear.
Since no one spoke, let him say it, all nonsense is omitted, and there is no need to cover up: "My mother was rescued from the brothel by Lord Ding because she looked exactly like the younger sister of Duke Ding. Made a big mistake, was ruined by medicine, and married the guard Yunhanshan."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Emperor Qian and Gu Yunqing stopped drinking tea and slowly put down the teacups.
There was still coldness in Gu Yunqing's eyes, and the smile that Qiandi had been hanging on his face gradually faded away.
"Afterwards, my father fell into the water and died, and my mother returned to Lord Dingguo's villa, and took me away after giving birth to me.
"Nine months later, Duke Ding found our mother and son, and named me Yunqi.
"My mother took me away again, looking for land to settle down, and died of illness five years later.
"After my mother's funeral, I left my hometown. Later, I met Master Duhai and worshiped him as my teacher. Then I lived in Kudu Temple. When I was 13 years old, I began to go down the mountain occasionally to practice and study physiognomy.
"One month ago, because of His Majesty's decree, I brought my nephew and nephews down the mountain to Beijing."
After Yun Qi finished speaking, he paused, his eyes slowly swept across Gu Yunqing and Emperor Qian, and said, "I'm done, can Your Majesty and Lord Ding have anything to add?"
Ever since Gu Yunqing heard the word "Dingguo Gong", she lowered her eyes, quietly looked at the teacup in front of her, and said calmly, "No."
This is the first sentence he said to Yun Qi after Yun Qi said "What does it have to do with me".
Emperor Qian kept his face sullen and remained silent.
Yun Dian nodded and said, "It's fine if you don't have one."
There is no best.
Said: "Since Your Majesty and Lord Dingguo have no doubts, I think this matter can come to an end. Please remember that from today on, no matter who or what anyone says about Yun's life experience, I will not accept it." I won't listen to one more word!"
The voice slowed down, and said: "Take a seat, two, I'll get someone to serve the food."
About to turn around and leave.
"Wait a moment!"
Yun Qi turned around, looked at Emperor Qian, and then sat down slowly.
Emperor Qian stretched out his hand and rubbed his face, heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "I called Yun Qing back for this matter...it's fine to say it in front of you."
Turning to look at Gu Yunqing, with a calm tone, said: "I asked you some things before, and now I will ask you again.
"You went down the mountain several times just to see him. You designed and built Qiyunju for him. You gave him the Six Green Guards you personally trained and gave him Yunxi's jade pendant. Why?
"Don't tell me that because he is the son of your bodyguard, you, Gu Yunqing, don't value love and righteousness so much!"
Gu Yunqing said lightly: "Is it the first day Your Majesty knew me, Gu Yunqing? Gu has always been self-willed. He wants to do whatever he wants. How can there be so many reasons?"
Emperor Qian said coldly: "I know you too well, Gu Yunqing, so I know that you will never be nice to someone for no reason!
"Okay, even if there is no reason for all of this, just because you, Gu Yunqing, are happy and self-willed, what about the position of Duke? There is no reason, and it is going to be passed on to someone who has only met once?"
Gu Yunqing's expression was numb, not even a single eyelash trembled, and said: "Even if there is a reason, what does it have to do with you, Your Majesty?"
Yun Qi said coldly: "It has nothing to do with the emperor, what about me?"
Gu Yunqing glanced at him and said, "If you don't like those things, you can throw them away."
Leaning lazily on the back of the chair.
Emperor Qian said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter if you don't answer, I will ask you again.
"When Chou Niang got married, Yun Xi had been pregnant for more than a month, and the two gave birth together in Mogan Mountain, but Chou Niang was half a month earlier than Yun Xi...
"Don't tell Zhen Chou Niang that she had already married Yun Han Shan when she got married. The people I sent made it clear to me that Chou Niang didn't want to marry Yun Han Shan at all!"
Gu Yunqing glanced at him sideways, and said: "Since Your Majesty has checked so clearly, then you should also know that Yun Qi was born prematurely, right?"
Emperor Qian sneered and said, "Premature? How long? Are you trying to tell me that Chou Niang conceived a child on the first day of her marriage, and then gave birth two months prematurely?"
Gu Yunqing wrote lightly: "Why not?"
Emperor Qian stared at him for a while, then smiled angrily, and said: "Okay, I don't bother to continue asking these unproven matters, I will ask you the last question... Why is Yun Qi's back waist, Will there be a birthmark exactly like Yun Xi's?"
Gu Yunqing mocked: "Shouldn't you ask God about birthmarks?"
Emperor Qian suddenly got up, stared into his eyes, and said: "Yun Xi once mentioned that her grandmother also had such a birthmark on her wrist!
"You told her about this, right? You didn't expect that she would tell me, did you?
"I once asked the imperial physician, and he said that this is actually a strange disease, which is not harmful to the body, but it will be passed on to future generations..."
He said word by word: "You say it again, is this also a coincidence?"
Gu Yunqing was silent for a long time, raised her eyes to look out the window, suddenly sneered, and said: "I missed this point. Since His Majesty has checked so clearly, then I have nothing to hide... Yun Qi is indeed my flesh and blood.
"Since Yunxi told His Majesty that my grandmother had this birthmark, she should have told His Majesty that my mother didn't have it, right?
"It can be passed directly from my grandmother to Yun Xi, and naturally it can also be passed from me to Yun Qi, it's nothing unusual."
"He is my flesh and blood, I naturally want to see him, and naturally I want to give him the best, Qingwei, Qiyunju, Yupei, Duke Ding..."
"You're lying!" Yun Qi's face was extremely ugly, his chest heaved violently: "My mother said that when I was born, there was no birthmark at all, it was you..."
Gu Yunqing interrupted: "When you were born, you were like a red-skinned monkey. Who can see such a shallow birthmark? Moreover, this kind of birthmark was not obvious at first, but as time goes by, the color will become more and more serious. Shen... Your Majesty should be very clear about this, right?"
He said again: "I understand Han Shan's character, he is not someone who takes advantage of others' danger, if Yu Niang doesn't accept him, he won't get close to her, so you can only be my child...
"What's more, when Han Shan died, Yu Niang was pregnant with Liujia. If you are indeed Han Shan's child, why would the Yun clan send her back to Mogan Mountain at this time?"
Yun Qi tightly squeezed the armrest of the Grand Master's chair, and stopped talking.
After being quiet for a long time, Emperor Qian sat down slowly, and said slowly: "I don't believe it."
Gu Yunqing glanced at him and said, "Your Majesty doesn't believe anything?"
"I don't believe that you, Gu Yunqing, have skin-to-skin relationship with someone who looks similar to Yunxi!
"I don't believe you, Gu Yunqing, would marry a woman who is pregnant with her own child to someone else!
"I don't believe you, Gu Yunqing, would let her child live outside!
"If you don't believe me, Gu Yunqing will let her child take someone else's surname!"
Gu Yunqing said in a deep voice: "Getting close to Yu Niang is a mistake of drunkenness. Before Yu Niang got married, I ordered Han Shan to give her Bizi Tang, but he didn't do it.
"I didn't bring Yunqi back to the village because he didn't want to go back with me, I, Gu Yunqing, don't do such things that are difficult for others.
"The reason why he is not allowed to be named Gu is because he doesn't want him to know that he is an illegitimate child...Did I explain it clearly enough?"
"It's clear," Emperor Qian said indifferently: "But I still don't believe it! You, Gu Yunqing, will drink and make trouble? You, Gu Yunqing, will let Yun Hanshan drug his sweetheart? What do you, Gu Yunqing, care about whether an illegitimate child is not an illegitimate child?"
Gu Yunqing said: "That's because you don't know me as well as you think, or...Your Majesty, when did you know Gu Yunqing?"
Emperor Qian was unmoved, and continued: "When you found their mother and child, Yun Qi was only nine months old and couldn't even speak. He told you that he didn't want to go with you? You didn't take Yun Qi up the mountain, did you Didn't you want to have another child of about the same age on the mountain, causing my suspicion?"
Gu Yunqing sneered and said: "Sure enough, as the emperor, no matter what kind of person will become suspicious, since you don't believe what I say, then I don't need to say more! It seems that no one has an appetite for today's meal. Since In this way, Shuchen will take a step first."
Get up and leave.
"Why, are you guilty?" Emperor Qian said, "I met Yuniang's servants back then, but you dismissed them all after Yuniang got married, especially those who served in her yard. I sent several people to find a full one. Yue, I haven't found one until now... Is that Yu Niang really so similar to Yun Xi, or are you worried that I found out that Yun Qi looks exactly like Yun Xi, and made up a big lie?
"Or, are Yu Niang and Chou Niang the same person, or is there such a person as Yu Niang in this world?"
"Also, all the servants who served Yunxi back then were also completely dismissed by you, especially the midwife and maids. However, the rough envoys I found from the outer courtyard said that they faintly heard cheers from inside that night. I also heard the cry of the child, but the next day there was news that the baby was stillborn... how do you explain it?"
"I have explained enough today," Gu Yunqing said coldly: "Even if I explain clearly, His Majesty will not believe it, so why should I say more? Well, Your Majesty asked me so much, and I will ask you too." one sentence...
"You don't believe me when I say Yun Qi is my son. Will you believe me when I say Yun Qi is your son?"
Emperor Qian hesitated.
Gu Yunqing looked at him condescendingly, and said slowly: "Liu Yuan, let me ask you again, even if you believe it, do you dare to admit it? Even if you believe it, what can you give him? What do you dare to give him?!
"Even if he is really your son, you can't even give him the position of a prince who can only live in fear and shrink his head!"
"Your Majesty, I really don't know," Gu Yunqing shook her head and said sarcastically, "What kind of trouble are you trying to make?"
Emperor Qian slapped the table with a "bang", grabbed Gu Yunqing by the collar, gritted his teeth and shouted: "If you hadn't played tricks back then, I would have given him the whole world!"
