Spring Forest Evening

Uncle He's question, in fact, only Zhou Heng didn't know the truth.

Shen Yi and Shen Fu, although they don't know the specific situation, but after all, Uncle He has been in this mansion for many years, even if he spends at least half a year wandering outside, after all, he saw the two siblings growing up. The two were a little curious, and they were still ignorant. Shen Yi once asked why Uncle He, who often secretly brought her delicious pastries, was not named Shen, and Shen Fu asked him why he didn't have to go to the yamen every day like his father. work.

Of course, as he grew older, he gradually had the opportunity to know Uncle He's identity and some of the things he had done.

Therefore, after hearing Uncle He's eloquent story now, even if the middle situation is not known, the antecedents and consequences have been guessed somewhat. This is the biggest reason why Shen Yi can easily interrupt and tease the children from time to time. .

Of course, Uncle He knew this well, not to mention that the three of them had already chatted a little bit when Zhou Heng went to wash up, but now seeing that Zhou Heng was a little confused, he deliberately asked such a sentence. Miss Biao admired her quite a lot, and unconsciously, she even began to regard her as Shen Fu's future princess. Since she is the future mistress of Prince Jing's mansion, there are some things that must be known.

Of course, Shen Fu will tell these things later, but it's not as clear as the person involved. After all, Uncle He himself really wants to see how Miss Zhou will react when she finds out.

So after asking this question right away, he looked directly at Zhou Heng, seeing that she was listening at the beginning while not forgetting to hold the yellow ginger flower and lower her head to tease the little boy in her arms. He stopped and raised his head when he heard himself asking this. The first move was to look at Shen Fu.

Shen Fu naturally knew the answer to this question a long time ago, and he also knew who the real object of Uncle He's inquiry was, so seeing Zhou Heng looking over with some doubts, he smiled and reminded her:

"Aheng, Uncle He is asking you."

I feel very relieved, anyway, as smart as she is, I should be able to come up with a result after thinking about it a little bit.

Seeing this scene, Uncle He and Shen Yi's teeth were a little sour, but Zhou Heng was sweetened by the trust in Shen Fu's eyes. Hearing his calm tone, it seemed that he could think of the answer, okay, then Just try to think about it.

In fact, this matter is not difficult to guess. After all, I already knew that Uncle He had served in the palace beforehand, and he was related to the emperor. The people who work in this area must often be ordered by the emperor to investigate those princes and ministers, and probably know a lot of things. This is also the biggest reason why Zhou Heng feels that Uncle He, who had been with the previous emperor, does not hold any official position now.

So regarding the affairs of Queen Jiang's family, Zhou Heng felt that since he was a queen and the mother of a country, the late emperor must have been very cautious when he wanted to find a daughter-in-law for his son. Investigate one by one, and then select from them. This kind of thing, not to mention the development of information in the past, was popularized in film and television dramas. From my own cognition, it is also reasonable.

And the one who was ordered to investigate was probably this Uncle He in front of him.

After thinking through it quickly in his mind, Zhou Heng smiled and said his thoughts:

"Uncle He must have been ordered by the late emperor to find out about these things about the empress's natal family, right? And I guess, the Jiang family must have known about it later."

Seeing that Uncle He smiled and nodded but did not speak, he was not surprised at all. He seemed to be encouraging himself to continue. It seemed that his judgment was correct, and the story was probably almost finished. Uncle He wanted to ask What's your opinion on this matter?

Then he lowered his head and thought about it for a while, organized his thoughts and organized his words. Fortunately, the child in his arms was also very cooperative, and nothing happened when he snuggled up to her. Afterwards, Zhou Heng raised his head carefully and said:

"Miss Jiang became the queen, and Xueshi Jiang later became the grand tutor. Well, I naturally know that the situation of their family satisfied the emperor at the beginning. But, to be honest, this is purely my own opinion. You have heard it: I think, if you just look at the turmeric flower, it is just a good story about a so-called child with wisdom root and Buddha, and there is no utilitarianism involved."

"However, later on there was the matter of Miss Jiang being elected as the empress, and the whole thing was a bit intriguing when viewed from the beginning to the end, or in other words, there was a little bit of deliberate artificial trace."

"Even I can see it. I believe that everyone who knows about this must have some thoughts. They feel that the Jiang family is planning something. The late emperor's wise insight must have seen more clearly and thought farther. On the Queen."

"Then I dare to guess, maybe, there are two reasons. One is that the first emperor thought this matter was harmless, but if this is the case, even if the empress uses this turmeric flower as an introduction to today's matter, Uncle He, you can still mention it." It just doesn't take so long to tell us a story, so I don't think that was the case at the time."

"Then it may be the second reason."

Speaking of this, Zhou Heng took a sneak peek and saw that Uncle He nodded slightly, while Shen Fu looked at him with bright eyes, knowing that the matter was probably close to ten, so he smiled at him and continued to speak with confidence. :

"Uncle He, you are telling us the ins and outs of this matter now. It should be the real situation you have investigated. However, when you reported to the first emperor, there may be some discrepancies. Uh, I can't say that they are discrepancies, but I'm sorry. , isn’t there a Spring and Autumn style of writing, right?”

After saying this, as expected, Uncle He patted the table and laughed loudly: "Not bad, not bad, Spring and Autumn brushwork, this metaphor is interesting!"

Shen Fu relaxed, glanced at Zhou Heng, and said with a smile: "It seems that Ah Heng is really right!"

As soon as she heard it, she knew that she was boasting of her sweetheart. For fear that Uncle He would mind the description of "Spring and Autumn Brushwork" just now, Shen Yi secretly pouted at her younger brother's words, but she also expressed her admiration for Zhou Heng. In such a short time, she, a young lady of the Zhou family, Uncle Zhou's family is also a fifth-rank official, relying on the yin seal of his ancestors, not to mention the palace, even if he knows little about the situation in the court, this cousin Heng can say such an opinion, It is really impressive.

For this, Shen Yi attributed the credit to Mrs. Zhou, thinking that the old lady must have taught this granddaughter who was older than her knees well. She didn't look at Ah Heng now that she was praised, and she was still not arrogant or rash, and she was still smiling. express:

"I'm also trying to be a coincidence. After all, I saw it when I first came in. You should have chatted a little at that time, but you looked relaxed. Later, I thought that the empress sent this ginger flower. In addition to showing your identity, it might be more important. Most of them wanted to use the Jiang Hua incident back then to express goodwill to Uncle He. After all, people's habitual psychology is generally not willing to bring up such an old incident, so there is only one possibility, that is, she knows what happened back then. Uncle He has helped, and she also said that she still remembers it in her heart, and hopes to return a favor, or more precisely, to express that this matter is beneficial to us and not harmful, are you right?"
