Chapter 9

Instead of staying alone in the carriage, the prince and Yu Pinyan squeezed into a tent, took out the dry food wrapped in oil paper and ate it slowly.

"When Fang Wei comes back, let's continue our journey. If they are allowed to lie in the rain for a night, I don't know how many people will complain about their loneliness. " The prince squinted and joked.

Yu Pinyan nodded and said, "be careful to drive the ship for ten thousand years, guard eight million taels of silver, sleep at night with one eye open, let alone go on the road. This is the first time that you have done such an important task. You can't afford to neglect it. "

"At the end of the month, the second, the third and the fourth will join the imperial court to participate in political affairs. If something goes wrong this time, I don't know how many people are waiting to catch his braid. Don't worry, you can save yourself. " The prince patted Yu Pinyan on the shoulder, and the two looked at each other and laughed.

As he chewed on dry food and talked, he unconsciously passed half an hour. Before the prince could lift the curtain, he heard Fang Wei shouting, "prince, it's not good. There's a landslide ahead!"

He was surprised to go out.

The dry grain in Yu Wentao's hand fell into the muddy muddy water with a click.

The rest of them were scared to the ground, sweating profusely, but Yu's words made them feel relieved.

"Landslide? What is the situation? " The prince stepped forward in the heavy rain.

"As soon as I left for a quarter of an hour, I heard a loud roar on the mountain. The rain and the mud and stones rushed down from the top of the mountain, crushing the road and directly flowing into the river. Fortunately, my subordinates have been on guard and retreated quickly, otherwise they will not be able to return. " Fang Wei caressed his chest with fear.

Speaking Kung Fu, there was a loud noise in front of him. Just now people thought it was thunder. Now they realized it was a landslide. If the crown prince did not stop, but rushed all the way, ten out of Ten hit a landslide and ended up dead. And lost 8 million taels of disaster relief silver, implicated tens of thousands of people in the disaster area, died also can not earn a good reputation.

Yu Wentao felt more and more flustered when he thought about it. He repeatedly bowed his hands and said, "the prince is really the blood of a real dragon. He is blessed by heaven! The prince is wise, the prince is wise

Then the people came back to God, and they cried out with awe in their eyes.

The prince's heart was extremely frightened, but he did not show any sign on his face. He spoke calmly, "it's not safe here either. He retreats to the open field, and after the rain stops, he takes a long way to Sanmenxia. Hurry up. "

No one dares to disagree this time.

Finally, Yu Wentao, an old fox, was finally subdued. The prince was relieved. He couldn't help but be excited and frightened. He patted Yu Pinyan on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "Pinyan, thank you for stopping in time, otherwise you will be dead!" It's all right if there's no body left. I don't know how many people want to arrange his fame after his death. The scene, think about it, feel cold.

"The prince is serious. You know it in your own mind. Otherwise, what's the use of my persuasion? " Yu Pinyan did not take credit, and did not mention the dream that his sister once had. Royal people are suspicious by nature and think far-reaching. It's not a blessing for Xiang'er.

"I really know. Thank you very much The prince pressed his shoulder hard, and his gratitude was self-evident.

They shook hands tightly, and then they mounted the steed and ran back. The prince sent a letter to the emperor to explain the reason.

The next morning, Yu Pinyan's letter came to Yongle Hou's house. The old lady looked at the back and cried out, "Bodhisattva's blessing.".

"What's the matter with you, old lady? But the little Marquis... " Ma did not dare to say the rest.

"There's nothing wrong with your words," the old lady stood up and worshipped the statue of Buddha in the hall for three times. Then she handed the letter to mammy Ma and let her see it for herself. "It's really breathtaking! I'm just scared out of a cold sweat after reading the letter

Mammy Ma quickly finished reading, and her heart suddenly trembled. She whispered to the old lady, "old lady, do you remember that the second young lady called out when the little Marquis was leaving? Cui Xi said that the second young lady dreamt that the little Marquis was washed away by the mud and stone, so she refused to let him go out yesterday. You see, how can it not be closed with this letter? "

"Brother, if it rains heavily, stop immediately. Don't rush! Remember, don't rush! ". The old lady repeated this sentence in her mind, and her eyes widened.

"Hiss," she took a breath and walked away. "Go to find Xiang'er and ask her what dream she had last night."

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Yu Xiang stayed up all night, afraid that he would close his eyes and dream about the scene of Yu Pinyan's death. He repeatedly pondered how he would live and how he thought and felt cold if he did not. The pillars of Yongle Hou's house were "killed" by her. Lin and the old lady certainly couldn't tolerate her. In this era, the woman abandoned by her family had no way to live. What's more, she was still a paralytic. I'm afraid that she would starve to death on the street within two days after leaving the Marquis house.

When the old lady arrived, she was ill and half reclined on the couch. Her face was sallow and her hair was scattered. Her eyes were full of red blood, and their sockets were still deeply sunken. It was obvious that she had not slept at night. Hearing the sound of footsteps, she twisted her neck stiffly and asked in a hoarse voice, "what's the matter with my brother? Have you heard from me? "Although not Hou Fu blood, but in the end grew up with Yan'er, his feelings are sincere, not adulterated at all. Can you give up your life? Can you worry about this?

Thinking about this, the old lady's prejudice and estrangement towards Yu Xiang instantly went to 56 / 10.

"It's nothing to say." She said in a soft voice, "you had a nightmare yesterday, so you can't let Yan'er go out. What do you see in your dream? Talk to your grandmother."

Yu Xiang's heart suddenly fell into reality. Seeing the old lady's questioning, he described it in detail. Yu Pinyan is 16 years old and has just set foot on his official career. He acts ruthlessly and makes many enemies. The person who is loyal to him is the crown prince. He may encounter many disasters in the future. If yu's family don't pay attention to her words, and if she is unreasonable and unreasonable, Yu Pinyan will not have such good luck next time.

After listening for a long time, the old lady asked in a low voice, "do you really see many silver spindles fall into the river?"

Yu Xiang nodded very firmly.

The old lady continued to be stupefied. It took a quarter of an hour for her to recover. She touched the red corner of Yu Xiang's eyes and said in a soft voice, "good boy, I didn't close my eyes all night because I was worried about your brother? Did you drink the medicine? Have you ever used food? "

Yu Xiang shook his head, "I don't know the safety of my brother. I don't want to drink medicine, and I can't eat."

"Good boy, good boy..." The old lady's expression was very moving, and she repeatedly patted Yu Xiang's hair, "after drinking medicine, eating rice, I'll go to sleep quickly. I'm tired of you. "

Ma Ma went to the kitchen to cook medicine for the second lady.

The old lady accompanied Yu Xiang to finish the meal. Seeing her yawning frequently, she got up and left. When she reached the door, she suddenly turned back and earnestly told her, "xianger, if you want to have similar dreams in the future, you must tell your grandmother not to be bored in your heart."

Yu Xiang nodded and agreed. Naturally, she won't be bored in her heart. Yu Pinyan is her only amulet.

The old lady left contentedly. She caught a glimpse of Cui Ping and Cui Xi, who were following her. She carefully explained, "in the future, you can take care of Miss Ma. If you need anything, just come to mammy ma. If you don't want to take medicine to eat, you should persuade me to leave it as it is today. You don't have to stay in the Marquis's house. "

Cuiping Cuixi whispered her promise, waiting for the party to go far away to wipe off the cold sweat on their forehead and looked at each other. What's the matter, old lady? How could attitudes change overnight?

The old lady went back to the main courtyard, knelt under the niche and read the Sutra for a while. Then she loosened her tight heartstrings.

Ma helped her to get up and brought a cup of hot tea. After she sat down, she approached and asked, "what's the matter with this dream, madam?"

"This is a warning from Bodhisattva to xianger." The old lady slowly skimmed the floating tea froth with the lid of her cup, in a trance, "if they don't stop, but rush directly, the scene in the dream will become a reality. Those silver spindles are supposed to be the relief silver carried by the crown prince, at least in this number... " She put out a slap.

"Fifty thousand taels?" Mammy Ma showed her teeth

"five million taels, maybe more." At this point, the old lady broke out a cold sweat and sighed, "fortunately, Xiang'er said something, but he didn't rush to it. Otherwise, not only his life would be lost, but also the whole Hou's house would have to eat the crime. Five million taels, I can't afford to pay for it

Yu Xiang, a little girl who was not familiar with the affairs of the world, did not know what kind of bad things Yan'er was doing when she went out, and how could she know that the prince took the money for disaster relief? But she had a dream, and the description was so detailed that it seemed as if she had been in the scene. Up to now, the old lady had no doubt about her words.

Mammy Ma took a breath of cold air and exclaimed, "five, five million taels? My mother! Thank you, Bodhisattva, for your blessing When the Marquis died, the Marquis's house was robbed. These slaves had no way to live! This is a fluke, a fluke!

Ma Ma paid homage to the shrine and whispered in a low voice, "the Marquis is is right. The young lady is not a lost star. She is clearly his lucky star. Look, old lady, in a short month, the young lady helped the Marquis avoid two fatal robberies. It's very mysterious. If it's not for people with profound blessings, would Bodhisattva dare to warn by dreams... "

After a long silence, the old lady finally waved and said, "send me two pieces of shark's Lingsha and that hundred year old ginseng in my warehouse to xianger. She's a good one The heart is good, but this thing is full of weird, is a blessing or a disaster, and look again.

"Ah, I will go now!" Ma Ma did not fake her hand and did it in person. These two things were given by the emperor. They were extremely valuable. The old lady could not bear to use them. Instead, they were all given to the young lady. It can be seen that this time she was really frightened.

Cuiping Cuixi saw that the old lady suddenly attached importance to Yu Xiang. Although she was not angry in her heart, she did not dare to be as presumptuous as before.

------------------------------------------------

the original historical track: when the prince went to Sanmenxia for disaster relief, he encountered a landslide on the way. Although he was lucky enough to survive, he lost 8 million taels of disaster relief silver and returned in confusion. The impeachment of the crown prince by Yan Guan was inhumane, infuriated by heaven and punished by heaven, involving tens of thousands of people in the disaster area. The emperor was so angry that he ordered the crown prince to go to the imperial mausoleum to repent. He was not allowed to enter the imperial court for three years. He also ordered the fourth prince to raise money to go to Sanmenxia. The fourth Prince acted calmly and excellently. He handled the disaster relief perfectly without any mistakes. At the end of September, when he returned to Beijing with an umbrella, his reputation was greatly improved, while the crown prince became increasingly silent.The Marquis of Yongle was seriously injured by a landslide and returned home. He would only be able to raise himself for several months. Although the emperor was not demoted, he removed all his practical duties and abandoned them. The old prince of Hou's house turned into a seller's property to compensate for his crime, but his reputation could not be restored after all. Yongle Hou had to join the army to win a way out with his life.
