Chapter Ninety-Four: Retreat
When Chopard returned to Xiao's house, he didn't pay much attention to the farce in the second room. In the past few days, he inquired about the officials of the Ministry one by one, and Shi Dong was cunning and cunning, and he also handed over the fold and resigned. Zuo Lang Xie and Hua are Choparv's people, so naturally they will not be found out to be bored. Liu Zhenzu, the right waiter, did not escape, and found tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets bribed by Sun Guozhu, and the two outsiders did not see much cleanliness, and they all had some problems.
He pondered how to reply, and pushed a qiē to Liu Zhenzu to end the case, even the Gu family was a little careless, where could he have the leisure to take care of an aunt?
Within a few days, the disposition of the imperial court came down, and Liu Zhenzu, the right attendant, was sentenced to beheading and confiscating family property, and the whole family was exiled; Sun Guozhu was sentenced to beheading and confiscating family property, and the female dependents were exiled as slaves and men; while Shi Dong was guilty of incompetence and incompetence because he was a minister and an official of the ministry, and he was not to blame for his many years of hard work and diligence, and was allowed to sue his old age; Sun Shiyi was the whistleblower, but because he hurt the country and disturbed the state banquet, he was fined for one year, and he was raised high and gently let go; The rest of the officials involved in the case were also dismissed from their posts and exiled, but because of the relationship between the king of Qinghai, Jun Zhanhai still deliberately restrained his momentum and did not make a big splash, causing public opinion to boil, and a major case ended quietly, but won the praise of the people for the good ministers.
The Xiao family breathed a sigh of relief, the strings in the old lady's heart finally fell, and her mood was much better, and she smiled all day long. Le Yu couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Aunt Hong, who hit the muzzle of the gun, met the old lady when she was in the worst mood to end up like this, and it was also due to luck.
The atmosphere in the hall was very good, several girls were there, and even Xu Yiyi sat aside, choosing good flattery, which made the old lady laugh.
Le Yu took this opportunity to smile and said: "Grandmother, when my father took over the case, I made a wish to the Bodhisattva to bless my father with peace and security. ”
When the old lady heard this, she hurriedly smiled and said, "The wish made in front of the Bodhisattva must be returned, otherwise the Bodhisattva will definitely blame." Your kid also has a heart, so let's go and worship tomorrow. ”
Le Yu smiled silently, but her eyes looked at Le Xian intentionally or unintentionally. Le Xian's face changed slightly, and her smile was a little uncomfortable: "Grandmother, my grandmother is sick, and I want to go to see her old man tomorrow." ”
The old lady's smile froze, a little displeased. Gu Shi also said: "I have to prepare for the Halloween at home, and I will definitely not be able to leave." The daughter-in-law asked her to prepare the car, and the mother took Wan'er Yu'er Yan'er to the same place. ”
The old lady's interest was swept away by Le Xian, she was a little lazy, Le Yu got up and held the old lady's right arm, and said with a smile: "It's so cold this day, and my grandmother's body is not very good. It's better for me to go alone, just go and come back quickly. When the spring flowers bloom, a few of us will accompany our grandmother to visit the temple fair, which will be lively. ”
To go to Jokhang Temple, you have to get up early in the morning and go out. The sky is getting colder and colder, who doesn't want to stay in the warm bed? Le Yanzheng muttered in her heart, you Xiao Leyu is used to currying favor and selling well, and I hope the benefits are yours. But we will be with you in the cold. As soon as she heard Le Yu say this, she smiled and said, "What the fourth sister said is very true. Two days later, the princess of Qinghai held a banquet, and the jewelry and clothes were not picked yet, and my grandmother had to check for us. ”
The old lady was completely disinterested, waved her hand and said: "In this case, Yu'er should go alone, only one, bring more guards and girls, go early and return early." ”
Le Yu deliberately chose to open her mouth when the British duchess was infected with the wind and cold, just to support Le Xian, this qiē was also expected, and she couldn't help but curtsied and smiled, full of gentleness and well-behaved, and the old lady was cheerful.
Le Xian's apricot eyes flashed slightly, and she had some doubts in her heart, and after she went back, she instructed Du's mother: "That girl suddenly braved the cold to go to the Jokhang Temple, there must be something strange.
Du's mother hurriedly responded, Le Yu's position in the house became more and more stable, even in the boudoir, the queen mother was becoming more and more decent, Le Xian was a little uneasy, she had to watch more closely, she wanted to make a desperate bet and always felt too risky, quite undecided, she could only take one step at a time.
Early the next morning, Le Yu got up, freshened up and cleaned up, and went to Heningtang to ask the old lady to say goodbye.
Le Yu respectfully took it and went to Yaohuaju.The hour was still early, yesterday Chopinwei also rested in the main courtyard, and he hadn't gotten up yet.Fang Jing looked strange and quietly came out, as if he couldn't help laughing, and said: "Madame is a little unwell, so I won't see the girl.Madame said that the girl should be careful on the road, come back early, and if you want to buy something, just buy it."
Seeing the love of her parents, Le Yu was naturally only happy, and casually took off the eight-treasure ring on her hand and gave it to Fangjing: "I know, my sister will take it and buy rouge."
Fang Jing saw that Le Yu was in a good mood, and also understood what Le Yu meant, so she accepted it with a smile, and said generously: "Slave and maid, thank the four girls for rewarding."
Out of the door the sky is just dawn, but it is dim and dry, cold, the cold wind is biting.
Zhu Ji said with some concern: "Girl, I'm afraid it's going to snow this day." Leyu took a sip of hot ginseng tea, with a slight aftertaste, "It's okay, even if it snows, it shouldn't rain much."
The Xiao family had already sent someone to greet the Jokhang Temple yesterday, and when the group arrived, there was already the head of the monk Master Fan who led people to greet him.
Le Yu got out of the car and performed the Buddha salute with a smile: "Master Fan, I'm tired." Fan Ci Mei is kind to the white eyebrows and white beard, quite like a monk, his hands are folded and said: "Amitabha, Xiao Fourth Girl is polite, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has already explained the intention of the four girls.
Le Yu groaned slightly, and then smiled: "I still wish that you are sincere, you still don't need to rest, go directly to the main hall.
Fan Amitabha Buddha said, then led Le Yu and a few people to the main hall, the guards all stayed outside the temple, only the girls and mothers-in-law surrounded by beads embroidered to help Le Yu in.
The main hall has already prepared incense and candle tributes, and as soon as Le Yu arrives, she will immediately start the vow ceremony.
This kneeling is half an hour, the weather is so cold that it is wicked, Du's mother hides in a big tree outside the temple that is especially leafy in winter, shivering from the cold, and secretly scolding the unlucky.
