Sweet Beauty Chapter 42: Jiang Yu’s meaning

Let's say that Jingshu finished testing her father this night and returned to her room, thinking about the cause and effect of the incident, and carefully reasoned it out. Although there are still many things that are unclear, but knowing that her father still doesn't know the identity of the woman, she is after all in her heart. A little comfort.

Remembering that she had told Jiang Yu about the dream before, Jiang Yu also said that he was investigating, and now that things have changed, Jing Shu felt that it was necessary to tell Jiang Yu, so she carefully wrote the letter in the letter. What my grandfather said to me and my own temptation to my father were all written down, and finally he emphasized that my father did not know the identity of the woman, and that woman must not be his twin sister.

She is not worried about what would happen if her father's life experience was really involved in the previous dynasty and was known to Jiang Yu. She felt that, given her father's age, the previous dynasty was not yet destroyed, so she should not be a prince of the previous dynasty or something. .

She has done investigations secretly before, and she has never found out how much the Bai family has anything to do with the previous royal family. Even the fact that the women of the Bai family once entered the palace, I don't know how many generations ago, and she is not in a prominent position. , Not even the slightest trace.

And Jiang Yu told her that even in the worst case, he would help her solve it secretly.

Rather than letting herself be killed in the end without the ability to fight back, she trusts Jiang Yu more, and things have to move forward step by step, so that she can find a way out, right?

Stop moving forward because of fear, but the person who wants to harm you may already be approaching, which will only make you follow the same path in the previous life.

Jiang Yu received the letter from Jingshu, opened the envelope that covered his private study, and took out a thin silk handkerchief. There was no writing on the plain white handkerchief, only a faint pattern and an elegant fragrance. , If it is seen by outsiders, this is probably a small gift between lovers.

He asked someone to bring a basin of shallow water, and then put a few drops of potion in it, put the handkerchief in it, took it out and wringed it out, and then put it in front of the lamp to slowly dry it. After two cups of tea, the handkerchief slowly showed the graceful characters.

Jiang Yu is not bothered at all, and he is patiently and slowly tidying up by himself, and does not fake the hands of others.

When everything was over, seeing the graceful font slowly appearing on the handkerchief, I couldn't hold back the joy in my heart.

This kind of thing and careful thinking are all made up by Jing Shu herself. Although it is troublesome, it is indeed a high degree of confidentiality. After half an hour of this word, it will slowly disappear again. It really disappeared, although It's a pity that it can't be saved, but it's no longer safe.

In addition to this method, Jing Shu also gave him a lot of small recipes. Although the army and spies have their own secret methods for communicating messages, there are not too many methods, and they are used interchangeably, which is safer and the most important. The thing is, she has the heart to do something for him to make him happy.

When Jiang Yu read the content of the letter, he was even more surprised.

In the beginning, when Jingshu wrote to him, she was always very restrained and short, but now she has gradually let go. Now she will tell herself even this kind of family matters in detail. Unconsciously, he has become very close to him.

When he received this express letter from Jing Shu, he had already checked out a lot of information, and the answer was ready to come out about the descendants of the previous royal princess.

As for the Bai family, he didn't go to the second master Bai to think about the non-Bai family's parents and children. When he saw this letter and the information he had received before, he could guess it.

It is not difficult to investigate the relationship between Ling Guogong's mansion and the previous dynasty, especially when Jing Shu told him that the woman was the daughter of Princess Yonghui and some general of the previous dynasty.

Princess Yongyi's identity, her mother concubine Concubine Zhou, is the aunt of Zhou's wife of the Duke of Ling's mansion, and then Jiang Yu quickly found out that Zhou's mother lost her early years, and she was raised in Zhou for a long time. Beside the concubine, the relationship with Princess Yongxi is also very good.

Princess Yongxi and General Zhongyong Rong Heng had only one daughter. At that time, General Zhongyong was defeated in Weidi, and both husband and wife committed suicide. Loyal to the previous dynasty, but he has defended the country from generation to generation, and his reputation is very high, so everyone didn't go into it.

Inspecting the whereabouts of Mrs. Ling Guogong's mansion in the past few years, it is not difficult to find out that when Ling Guogong's family was in Weidi, Mrs. Ling Guogong often took several children of her parents' family to stay at home. Jiang Yu checked the portraits sent by the secret agents. , I still don't know who that woman is.

The current whereabouts of the woman have been clearly traced by spies and sent to his desk.

Look at the White House again.

The ancestral home of the Bai family is in the south of the Yangtze River. More than ten years before the previous dynasty was destroyed, General Rong Lao, the father of General Zhongyong, used to be stationed in the south of the Yangtze River. It is not difficult to find some old people from this aspect, although it has been a long time. Find out the origin of the Bai family and General Rong's family.

Before Jingshu sent this letter, Jiang Yu didn't think about Mr. Bai Er because he cared too much about Jingshu. He just thought about Jingshu's life experience, since she was born so similar to that girl, is it hers? Are you different? However, the result of the investigation was that Jing Shu was indeed the daughter of the second master Bai and the Chen family.

Now that I have received a letter from Jing Shu, it seems that the person with a different background is Bai Er, not Jing Shu.

Combining with the information received, Mrs. Rong died in childbirth before General Rong evacuated Jiangnan. Neither mother and child could be saved. It seems that only Mrs. Rong was saved, not the child...

Although Jiang Yu still sent people to track down the old midwife doctor in General Rong's mansion for confirmation, he probably already knew the answer in his heart.

This way... He watched the handwriting slowly disappear, and a smile slipped on the corner of his mouth, which was not a bad thing...

As for the daughter of the former princess, although it may be useful, since Jingshu doesn't like her, let her stay in a dark corner. .

He, in fact, doesn't mind at all that Bai Er's background is revealed.

The Rong family is a century-old family of military commanders of the previous dynasty. It has resisted foreign races for several generations and fought in the battlefield. It has countless loyal and fierce people. Although it is a loyal minister of the previous dynasty, it has a very high reputation among the military and civilians. As long as it is not the princess, the identity is not Not a problem.

Actually, the new dynasty had already been established when the princess of the previous dynasty married the eldest brother of Mr. Bai Er's eldest brother, General Zhongyong, and what happened a few years after the imperial family of the previous dynasty retreated to Weidi has nothing to do with Mr. Bai Er.

And the previous dynasty was not destroyed when Bai Er was born. At that time, the war in the south of the Yangtze River had nothing to do with this dynasty. He was raised as a son of the Bai family, not to hide the present, but a helpless act of the war at that time. That's it.

The establishment of the new dynasty is more than ten years later. No one knows the true identity of the second master Bai, and he has nothing to do with the remnants of the previous dynasty, so it is not a taboo for His Majesty.

In this way, he doesn't worry about any harm to Jing Shu by revealing his intentions to Jing Shu too early.

After thinking about it, Jiang Yu not only wrote a reply letter to Jing Shu, but also called an undercover agent, gave some orders, and sent another message to the Shu Palace in Beijing.

Not long after, the Prince of Shu in Beijing received a letter from his third brother Jiang Yu, and then the Prince of Shu, Concubine Zhong, planned to hold a small tea party before the girls' festival at the end of June and July. My daughter participated, and among them, only Jing Shu unexpectedly received an invitation in the White House.

At this time, there was a faint rumor in the capital that His Majesty intended to choose a marriage for the princes of the various vassals. Many aristocratic and official families have already received the news, and the Prince of Shu has two unmarried sons-in-law, the Prince of Shu. At this time, Princess Shizi invited several young ladies to the tea party, which inevitably made people think deeply.

********

Jing Shu received a reply from Jiang Yu, first of all about the life experience of her father Bai Er.

Jiang Yu didn't hide the slightest bit from her, and told Jing Shu all the information and guesses she knew. Of course, she did not forget to appease her in the end, saying that it was all right, so she didn't have to worry about it, just pretend she didn't know it, and he would arrange Related things, just let her act with preparation and measure in her heart.

Although Jing Shu was a little surprised, she didn't feel unbelievable or unacceptable because of her previous guesses. In fact, she was completely relieved when she learned that her father was not Bai Jiazi.

Because compared to being betrayed by her own grandfather and grandmother, and being betrayed by the Bai Mansion, who is not a relative at all, she has relieved her heart.

There is no need to be shy about her actions. Don't say anything about the upbringing of the Bai family, and don't talk about the past life. In this life, the Bai family really has no kindness to her and her mother.

Jiang Yu also said in the letter that the old general Rong, also known as her grandfather, once rescued the Bai family at the hands of bandits, entrusted her father to the Bai family, and also gave a lot of property in return .

It's just that in the midst of the war, the Bai family can't keep their wealth, which is another matter.

Jing Shu digested the news, and after she settled down, she went to look at the information on the woman's life experience. After looking through it, the information was very complete. Even the current name "Zhou Weijia" was actually called "Rong Weijia" There are detailed records of the girl's childhood, including her whereabouts in Beijing.

The most chilling thing on Jingshu's back is that before entering Beijing, Rong Weijia went to Shuzhong from Weidi to live in Shuzhong for more than two consecutive years, and he lived in Changzhou City, Li Jing Not far from Shu's house.

No wonder she even knew her own maid.

The feeling of being watched for years without knowing anything about it is really uncomfortable.

And that woman now lives in the village of Changmei Mountain, so it's no wonder Bi Xuan ran into her at Qianye Temple.

Rong Weijia is not Weijia as she thought, but it's not important anymore, and she doesn't care.

Looking at Jiang Yu's letter to herself again, after reading the next few paragraphs, Jing Shu's face turned red.

He, he actually asked himself to tell his father the identity of the woman directly, but how? How did you get this information? This statement will naturally involve him, so wouldn't it let my father know that she has a close relationship with him...

Intimate relationship... Thinking of the word Jingshu is even more uncomfortable, and I don't feel that the ring on my hand is slightly hot on weekdays...

A few days later, when Jing Shu received an invitation letter from the Prince of Shu's Prince Concubine Zhong, inviting her to a tea party at the Prince of Shu's mansion about a month later, she finally made up her mind to meet her father.

These days, Mr. Bai left early and came back late. Mr. Bai was looking for him. He said he was looking for a house, but there was no suitable one for a while. The matter of identifying a woman has always been delayed. After talking with his daughter on the day, he had no doubts in his heart, and he didn't have the heart to rush to recognize the girl. He only thought about the matter of the inner house.

Actually, Mr. Bai's temperament is also very special. In the past, he was indeed very filial to his parents, loving his elders and younger brothers, and taking good care of his nephews and nieces. Therefore, in the eyes of many people, he is old-fashioned, stupid, filial, and abiding by ancient etiquette. .

But if you think about it carefully, in fact, most of those are also reflected in the financial aspect, or the insignificant influence is positive to a certain extent, and then his wife, Chen, will take care of it.

But in his own business, he doesn't really obey Mrs. Bai, Mrs. Bai.

At that time, he had to obey his mother and marry his cousin Wen Shi, but in fact he was not good to her, and the matter of going out to Shu was also secretly done by him, not by Mrs. Bai, and later Mrs. Bai wanted him to marry Some of the girls in her eyes, but he insisted on going his own way and married Chen Shi directly in the three media six in the middle of Shu.

As for the marriage of the children, the eldest son Bai Yanzhang's marriage is the daughter of Mr. Bai's colleague Li Hanlin. Li Hanlin and Mr. Bai are old friends, and Mr. Bai is also familiar with the second master. Knowing that the Li family has excellent tutoring, he agreed to this deal. marriage.

When it came to her daughter Bai Jingyu's marriage, the old lady Bai was bewitched by her youngest son's daughter-in-law, Wei Shi, and also wanted to marry Bai Jingyu to Wei's family. The second master Bai sent a long-distance letter and quickly arranged a marriage for her daughter. The son of a friend of the same class.

Even if the youngest daughter was promised to the Wen family, Second Master Bai did not mean that he did not want Madam Bai to intervene. It's just that this kind of thinking doesn't speak to others, even the second master Bai himself refuses to admit it.

Let's say that Mr. Bai Er was very happy to see his daughter come to look for him. He knew that his daughter had received the invitation of the Prince of Shu, and he swept away the troubles brought by his daughter's return to Beijing. Depressed mood.

He originally did not hope that his daughter would marry into the Prince of Shu, but it was an honor to receive the invitation of the Prince and Concubine of Shu, and her daughter would be able to communicate more slowly in Beijing. The life of Miss Jia is not like being locked up with Zhuangzi, so the subsequent marriage will naturally go smoothly.

When Jing Shu saw her father, she did not rush to talk about the daughter of the previous princess's recognition of her father, nor did she directly talk about the invitation of the prince concubine of the Prince of Shu, but said: "Father, the daughter has also lived in the mansion for a while when she comes back. It's getting late, and my daughter doesn't look very good these days when she sees her grandmother, should she still go back to Zhuangzi to live first?"

Living in the White House makes it very inconvenient to do things. Although Yuanling helped her make the powder, she can still practice the exercises in soup every day, but the effect is not as good.

Therefore, old lady Bai's "old disease" started to happen again a few days ago. Whenever she sees Jing Shu, even if she tries to suppress her, she can't suppress her disgust.

Master Bai Er frowned and said, "Shu'er, that Zhuangzi is far away, my father has already been looking for a house near here, then you will move to a new house and wait for your mother to come over. Let's live together."

Jing Shu smiled and said, "Father, is this house the one my grandfather said he would let the woman live with? If not, the White House would not sit by and watch my father buy the property privately, and then our family would move to live there... and , I bought a new house, and I have to clean it up for a while before I can move in, but my daughter looks at her grandmother's situation, I am afraid she can't wait..."

Master Bai's face stiffened when he heard this.

Speaking of which, the money for the house was sent privately by his wife not long ago. Beijing has a lot of expenses, and this is the case with the Bai family. It is impossible for Mr. Bai to be an official without money, so Chen shi specially gave him the money to spend in private transactions in Beijing.

Although Mr. Bai said that the house came from his private house, Mr. Bai couldn't buy the house with his father's money anyway, but because of this, he didn't mention it to the house at all, and his wife sent it secretly The money...

Jing Shu saw that her father's face was not good-looking, and she was amused, but she shook her head and said: "Father, speaking of the woman my grandfather said, my daughter asked someone to help her secretly check her bottom line, and she has already received a reply. ."

As he spoke, he passed Jiang Yu the document about the name Zhou Weijia (Rong Weijia) and handed it to Mr. Bai Er.

Master Bai Er was startled. Before he could carefully digest his daughter's words, he had already subconsciously accepted the information handed over by his daughter, and opened it with some doubts.

Seeing this, his face changed immediately.

He quickly flipped through the document, then clenched it tightly in his hand, looked up at Jing Shu, his expression changed, while being shocked by the content of the document, he was suspicious of the fact that he kept such a document in his boudoir. How will my daughter know?

Jing Shu was a little helpless when she saw her father's appearance. Although it was difficult for her to say it, she had to say it at this time, and said, "Father, this is sent by the third son of the king of Shu. When I met the princess of the Shu Palace, the princess once said that if her daughter had something difficult or difficult to solve, she would ask her to ask the third son or the princess for help."

"Compared to the concubine I have never seen before, because of Master Huiyuan, my daughter and the third son are more familiar. Originally, my daughter didn't want to bother the third son, but this matter is too strange, and my daughter also I couldn't think of anyone else who could help, so I asked the third son for help."

The third son of the King of Shu is the nominal disciple of Master Huiyuan, the abbot of Tsz Shan Monastery. This is known to Master Bai Er.

My wife and daughter are also frequent visitors of Tsz Shan Temple. They will go to Tsz Shan Temple to offer incense to the Buddha all year round, and sometimes stay there for a short period of time. Master Huiyuan rescued her from her serious illness.

In this way, it is not impossible for the daughter to know the third son of the king of Shu.

I also thought that Concubine Zhong Shizi of the Shu Palace suddenly sent an invitation letter to her daughter. There are many officials above the fifth rank in Beijing, and there are many daughters of officials above the fifth rank. Why did you specially invite Shu'er?

The steward of the Shu Palace who sent the post said that this time Concubine Shizi just invited a few girls from acquaintances, because the Empress Wang had mentioned Jing Jing in her letter to Concubine Shizi. Shu, Concubine Shizi specially invited his daughter to participate.

Master Bai Er originally thought it was just a polite remark, guessing that Concubine Zhong Shizi invited her daughter because her daughter was born in Shuzhong, so she got close to one or two, and only then did she know that what she said was true , more likely to have other deep meanings.

In this way, Master Bai's heart moved again.
