That night, when Pu Yu returned home from the Hanlin Academy, Chi was like seeing the last straw.

Crying, trembling, trembling, pulling Pu Yu's sleeve for a long time, Chi finally noticed that his talented man's face was also as gray and ugly as a dead man.

Pu Yu listened all the time, didn't lose his temper and didn't react, but when Chi Shi stopped, he waved his hand weakly: "Sell my new piano, as well as the inkstone and the ancient painting." I thought of a hurry up and returned the dowry. ”

Chi's eyes widened with difficulty: "Master? ”

Pu Yu threw away his official hat and leaned on the couch, not wanting to say more.

Today is the day of the monthly meeting of the Classics Department of the Hanlin Academy, to which he belongs, and all the editors and scholars in the Classics Department will gather in one place, and the newly appointed Zuo Yuan will judge Qingzhu to ask about the recent process of revising the classics and compiling the books, and then tell a few words and say a hard job, and the deliberations of the Qingshui Yamen will be over.

When he went out, he thought that if the discussion ended early today, he would ask a few colleagues to go out to drink flowers and wine and recite poems.

As soon as everyone gathered, two boxes of files were thrown in front of Pu Yu.

Ming Qingzhu changed his previous gentleness and modesty, and his young and elegant face was full of uprightness and uprightness like a royal prelude: "Master Pu, since the fourth year of Tianqi, you have been making frequent mistakes and omissions in the documents you have compiled. As the second-class heirloom of the first emperor dynasty, he has also passed a cold window for ten years, so he should still have some foundation to learn, right? Is it because I didn't care about it at all? I still don't think it matters to the errands of the Hanlin Academy, and it doesn't matter if the books of the sages have been handed down! ”

was scolded by his new boss who was just in his early twenties in front of half of the Hanlin Academy, and the colleagues of the entire Classics Department were reprimanded, and Pu Yu's old face was purple and even felt dizzy.

And Ming Qingzhu's last sentence before brushing his sleeves away was like a heavy hammer, which woke up Pu Yu fiercely: "Master Pu, before a gentleman cultivates books to help the world, he must first cultivate himself and Qi family." People who do not repair the inner curtain and have a loss of personal morality are not worthy of talking about the way of the sages, let alone standing in Shilin. Master Pu, you are so self-conscious. ”

At this time, Pu Yu suddenly remembered that this new science detective Lang Ming Qingzhu was the second grandson of the Duke of Jin, that is, the cousin of Ming Chongshan, the general of Jing Yi, then, isn't that the cousin of Yan Xiao's wife Ming Luying!

Later, Pu Yu had no face to see people in Hanlin Garden all day long, and his heart was beating wildly, and he always felt that something had happened at home. All the way home, he just urged the sedan chair man to hurry up, and when he entered the mansion and saw that there were so many people, his heart was cold.

Seeing Chi's description again, Pu Yu was not surprised.

How to get on the Qingyun Road of the Yan family, he and Yan Wei didn't find their way out when they were still married as husband and wife. But what is the price of offending the Yan family, Pu Luo finally understands.

The words of the head of the family became the last straw that overwhelmed the Chi family, but at this time, because Qiu's mother and others were all taken away, even if the Chi family wanted to quickly sort out Yan Wei's dowry, there was a shortage of manpower.

Pu Yu couldn't, so he had to seal the gift in person and quietly handed over the post to the Jingzhao Yamen.

Who knew that he couldn't even send the gift and letter in, whether it was Jing Zhaoyin's mansion or the porter of the yamen, as soon as he heard that it was the Pu family, he immediately pulled his face and did business, and pushed and shoved with the cliché of honesty and integrity.

At this time, Chi also reacted, and asked his family to go to Yan's house to give gifts.

The Yan family let the Pu family enter the door, but when they arrived at the door of the three-room courtyard, they were politely refused. came out a brocade-clothed maid who was similar to Chaolu, and said something with a smile. The words and sentences that are too specific can't be learned by Shuangying, but the last sentence, "The bell must be tied to the bell", but I understood it.

When this sentence came back, Pu Yu and Chi couldn't help but look at each other.

What does the Yan family mean is to ask them to bow their heads with Ruji?

According to the etiquette law, unless Ru Xi is married into the royal family, she will be a first-class lady, and in front of Pu Yu and Chi, she will also have to kneel and reply in a proper manner for the rest of her life. As parents, Pu Yu and Chi will never have a reason to keep their voices down.

However, at this time, Qiu's mother and others have been taken to Jingzhao Yamen, although the excuse is to track down the lost things in Huan Ningbo's Mansion, but above the public court, under Miki, what will be judged, who can know?

Once Qiu's mother and the others spit out that they were instructed by the Chi family to embezzle Yan Wei's dowry, Pu Yu's face and reputation still have room to be saved, as long as they have a letter of resignation, they can be easily clear. But at that point, it is impossible for Yanwei's dowry not to be pursued. Mo said that Huan Ningbo's Mansion is now proud, even if the dowry of the aunt and grandmother of the Chinese family is shaken down like this in the public court, unless the mother's family is really dead, there is no reason not to recover the dowry.

At that time, Pu Yu can probably only have a tattered reputation and face, the Chi family's abandonment will be imperative, Ruyan Rushu's future is uncertain, and the so-called family background of the Pu family, I am afraid that seven or eight out of ten will be folded into silver and sent to Ruxi.

If the Chi family can't stand this humiliation and dies, or if the elders of the Pu family clan come forward to call her "died of illness", then Pu Luo will be regarded as a real family ruin.

Whether this life-and-death threshold can be passed now depends on the court in Jingzhao Yamen.

And the glimmer of hope that can bring Qiu's mother and others back or even close the case is in the hands of Ruji.

finally understood the stakes involved, and Ru Xi was invited into Pu Yu's study again. What I saw in front of me was the exact opposite of what I saw last time. Pu Yu and Chi both looked embarrassed, as if they were ten years old at the same time.

Time is silver, although this sentence has not been quoted by any man or woman who has traveled through the world to sing in the present world, but the truth is still the same in ancient and modern times.

No matter how embarrassing and embarrassed it was, Chi didn't delay too long before he opened his mouth straight to the point: "Big girl, all the previous things are mine." Now that the family really doesn't look like this, can the eldest girl talk to the second master of the Bofu and withdraw the case? ”

The redness and swelling on Ruji's face disappeared, but sitting on the chair where she was slapped last time, the feelings in her heart still kept rising. Hearing this, he raised his eyes to look at Chi's family, and then looked at Pu Yu, and did not speak with a smile.

This kind of calm made Pu Luo and Chi more uncomfortable than other reactions.

If Ru Ji makes trouble or makes a gesture, although it is enough to drink a pot, it is expected, and Pu Yu and Chi Shi have also made certain psychological preparations.

However, how to deal with such a calm look in order to achieve the goal?

Pu Yu and Chi glanced at each other, Chi obviously reacted faster, and there was a little more cautious smile on his face: "Big girl, I heard that Shuangcicada said that you don't like Cai Wan's marriage, that's it." In the end, Cai Wan is also your intimate girl, and it is better for you to be in charge of marriage. That, the cage that was sent over earlier has been sorted out? Do you want to add another warehouse for you? My sister's dowry has been sorted out again, and she is preparing to send it to the girl. ”

Ru Ji sneered in her heart, her face was still unmoving, and she didn't even show a trace of disdain or smugness, but just calmly "um", and then lowered her head and took a sip of tea.

Pu Yu's heart became more and more anxious: "Ruji! ”

Ru Ji slowly raised her head, glanced at Pu Yu with a little innocent inquiring eyes, and didn't even bother to say anything, it was represented by symbols: ?

Pu Yu's heart was bottomless, and his voice softened again: "That, cough cough, your mother is talking to you, did you hear it?" ”

Ru Xi took another sip of tea, this slow reason is simply going to make people angry to death!

Pu Yu and Chi Shi were like twenty-five rats each with a hundred claws scratching their hearts, but where can they still urge Ru Ji under the current form, they can only endure and wait for Ru Ji to react.

After a few more breaths, Ru Xi finally put down the tea bowl, and Pu Yu and Chi Shi were already eager to become star eyes.

"That's all there is to Mrs.'s sincerity?" Ru Ji stroked her nails neatly, the color of the newly dyed impatiens is really beautiful, and it matches the Songjiang cloth green skirt very well.

"Big girl!"

"Poof!" Chi's Wangzi gummies-like hero can really bend and stretch! Immediately knelt on his knees, and burst into tears: "Big girl, no matter how much you hate me, it's all mine." But for the sake of the lord, for the sake of Yan'er Shu'er and your own sister, you really can't ruin our family! ”

"Madame!" Pu Yu was shocked and got up and went to Fuchi's family, "You get up first!" After pulling twice, Chi Shi couldn't help him up, and when he turned his head and saw that Ru Xi was still indifferent, he couldn't help but feel angry, but he didn't dare to be angry with Ru Xi, and said forbearingly: "Ru Xi, you, how can you call your mother like this?" She's your mother—"

"Do you have anything else to say, master?" Ru Xi's calmness is like an untitled essay volume, which will make it difficult for Pu Yu and Chi to die.

Even if it was like Yan Xiao before, although it was a slap in the face, he still made a request. If you can meet the other party's requirements, you can negotiate the conditions, but if you really can't meet them, then you will lose your mind and think about countermeasures. It's better than hanging like this now!

"What do you want?" As Ruji's father, Pu Yu is still much more confident than Chi's after all.

Ru Xi looked at Pu Yu, still unhurried: "The old man asked me this, and I was very confused." Actually, I should ask the lord what he wants. ”

That's right, it's deliberately so verbose!

Kill these two bastards!

Chi is willing to cry on his knees, and he has the ability to hang his neck!

It has been more than a month since the rebirth of the soul + the crossing, and it seems that the eldest girl Ruxi has gained the upper hand with her strength, but in fact, it is just to ask the Chi mother and daughter to do less bastard things and spit out some ambiguous money. How could the Chi clan really suffer a loss? How could Pu Yu ever do something humane and virtuous?

Ru Ji in the previous life, but she really died twice!

After the first Ruxi married Shi Zhonglang's well-dressed beast, she also went back to her parents' house to cry, begged, and knelt down, but in addition to cold words and rolling her eyes, what did she get?

In the second life, there was no makeup from the Bofu, and Yan Wei's dowry was divided up again, and she married Shi Renlang sourly. When he was abandoned by that Sven scum, Chi Shi inserted the pearl cui in Yanwei's dowry and said to Ruxi?

"Auntie, it's not me as a mother who said you, it's really enough to be a woman to your level. My uncle couldn't win a man's heart when he was so good to you before, tsk, it's really useless to go home like your mother. At present, there are two clear roads, you choose by yourself, one is to go to Qiongzhou, I have a distant relative who wants to find a literate aunt in charge, although she is older, but she should be a painful person. Otherwise, the second master of the Shi family mentioned that anyway, now that the Shi family is also separated, he is now doing a big business and has plenty of money. Shu'er hasn't had a son after marrying him all these years, so it's okay to carry you over to make a room and help your sister? ”

At that time, Chi's face was full of spring breeze with a smile, the golden hairpin on his head was shining, and his nails were red. That gorgeous and ugly picture made the cowardly and desperate Ruji remember it until she died.

At this moment, Pu Yu only felt choked and stammered: "You, you-" took a step back, almost stepped on Chi's hand, and hurriedly helped Chi up again.

Chi whimpered: "Big girl, you are also surnamed Pu, how can you watch the Pu family ask officials to come to arrest people like this, once this spreads, even if you don't care about the reputation of the master, aren't you afraid of your own reputation?" ”

The corners of her lips twitched: "Madam, when is it, are you still interested in building a bridge with me?" The lady pondered first, and I was not in a hurry. Then he turned around and was about to leave.

"Big girl!" Since it was useless to ask for good words, Chi Shi drank it out in a hurry and impatience.

This sudden sound of Zhongqi frightened Pu Yu, who had originally helped her, with a shock on her shoulder.

Chi couldn't care about his image in Pu Yu's mind, and strode forward: "Is the eldest girl insisting on forcing me to death!" ”

Ru Xi sneered: "If I say yes, my wife will die with me, right?" It's a pity that there is nothing to worry about behind me, and they all die? I'm not afraid! As long as you dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool, I guarantee that after a hundred years, Ruyan Rushu will not die well! ”
