Chapter 39: XXXIX
At the end of the strong crossbow, you can't wear Lu Min.
Chi Shi finally fell to the ground completely, his eyes were black, and his knees were weak: "Big girl, what do you want?" ”
Ru Xi looked Chi's eyes up and down, and then looked at Pu Yu, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "Mrs. doesn't have to say openly and secretly that I don't care about the reputation of the master, and I don't care about the lintel of the Pu family." Whoever is not upright will deserve to be thundered. Who ruined the Pu family's scholarly name, Mrs. think about it. Raising his eyes and looking at Pu Yu, "In the current situation, I don't dare to guarantee anything, but it's okay to ask someone from the Bofu to come over and intercede." Let's see which day the master is resting, just face each other at the three ends, let's make it clear together. ”
"Hugh Mu? I'll take a leave of absence tomorrow, hurry up, "Pu Yu can't raise his momentum anymore." The girl in front of her had bright eyes like stars, and her beautiful face was very similar to Yan Wei back then, but her confident and calm spirit was flying, but she was like a tiger girl like Yan Xuan, which made him look a little afraid, and his tone was even softer: "Hurry up and put people back, it's really messy like this...... It's not presentable. ”
Ru Xi smiled and turned around: "Then tomorrow, maybe the people from Bofu will come and explain it clearly, and this matter will be over." ”
The weather in late August was already very refreshing, but the atmosphere in the Pu family's house was sunrise in the east and rain in the west, some people were happy and some were worried.
Pu Yu originally had the intention to take a few days off because of Ming Qingzhu's public reprimand, so when the Bofu asked him to wait for another day, he didn't delay anything.
Although Chi's heart was already burning to his throat, he didn't dare to fall ill. Listening to Ruji's voice, she wanted to invite the people from Bofu to come over to discuss, if she fell down and Pu Yu went to talk, who knew what situation things would come to.
Of course, Ru Ji is very leisurely, and at this time, she is only one step away from being done.
It was almost noon, and the mid-autumn sun was not so scorching, and the people of the Yan family finally came to the door.
Again to everyone's expectations, in addition to the third lady of Yan Lin Chengyue, there was also the third master of the Yan family, Yan Heng!
Yulin Zhonglang, who was in charge of the Son of Heaven's personal guard, would enter the door, and Pu Yu and Chi only felt that it was dark.
has gone back more than ten years, and Pu Luo, who is also famous as a teenager, was also in high spirits, and called the third uncle to Yan Heng, who was originally a little guard.
However, time has changed, and for many years, he has been accompanied by the dragon for many years, and he guards the forbidden palace, which is the Zhongshu Sima and the left and right Xiangguo, and he also has to be polite to Yan Heng and call him a brave general.
And Pu Yu, who has been thunderous for many years in the Wupin Hanlin editing position, has not seen a member of the third grade or above face-to-face for a long time, and at this time, when relatives meet, they are a little weak.
Yan Heng's face was not as handsome as the eldest son who followed him, but Duan Yi's calm general demeanor instantly compared Yan Xiao, who had brought some young arrogance, to Yan Xiao, who was very commensurate with the quiet and beautiful wife Lin Chengyue beside him.
Although Ru Xi only sees the Yan family once a year, the concept of equality in the bones of the crossing woman is deeply rooted after all, even in the face of a powerful minister like Yan Heng, she doesn't feel anything, but she seems to be much calmer than Pu Yu, an official of the court.
This meeting originally made Pu Yu and his wife very anxious, but now with the presence of Yan Heng, the atmosphere is even more solemn.
Of course, this solemnity is mainly for Pu Yu and Chi Shi, Ru Ji's mood is still very relaxed.
The guest and the host sat down, and there was nothing polite to be polite, Yan Heng opened his mouth and made Pu Yu's heart sink: "Lord Pu, visiting the house today is a little abrupt. ”
This title means that there is no kinship.
Pu Yu was sweating densely on his forehead and back: "Ahem, three ...... The three generals are too polite......"
"The dog also visited your mansion the day before yesterday," Yan Heng continued, there was no smile or change in his expression, and it was even more frightening to look at, "But now that things have come to this point, if the elders don't come forward, it will be rude." ”
Pu Yu snorted for a moment, and the smile he squeezed out was more ugly than crying: "Three generals, this, this ......"
Seeing that Pu Yu was incompetent to this point, even Ru Xi felt embarrassed when she looked at it.
And Yan Xiao, who was sitting at the bottom of the solemn face, despised his father in his stomach: Cut, what elders came forward, where did General Yongyi worry about anything other than official business? The affairs of the family are all carried down by his eldest son! Pu Yu's level of goods also worked hard to get the Yulin Zhonglang general? I just have to go in and out with my mother!
Yan Heng suddenly glanced at Yan Xiao, Yan Xiao was frightened in his heart, what kind of kung fu did his father practice, and he could even hear the slander?
The next moment, he reacted again, Yan Xiao coughed lightly, and took over the conversation: "Lord Pu, the Jingzhao Yamen is quick and proper, and some clues have been asked about the suspected theft of the family members in the house. The confession was sent to me, and Lord Pu can rest assured, in the end, Ruxi is the cousin of our Yan family, and this matter will definitely not be full of wind and rain in the city, and the lintel of the house will not be able to pass. It's just that the list and account book that your family has worked together to match, I don't know how Sister Ruji will make a decision. ”
After that, he took out two lists from his sleeve, obviously in duplicate, one for Pu Yu, and one generously handed to Ru Xi.
Pu Yu and Chi Shi hurriedly unfolded the list together, and the already extremely slim hope was completely shattered, Chi's face was like ashes, but Pu Yu still had some hope: "Since the second son said that it would not be spread out, then, then the lower official will be grateful." ”
Yan Xiao nodded: "This is also what Sister Ruji means." The next thing is that Lord Pu's own family affairs are decided, and he will not interfere in the future, and today's father and mother came over, just to give a witness to Sister Ruji. ”
"Witness?" Pu Yu and Yan Heng sat face to face, and the pressure was so great that he couldn't even breathe. No matter what Yan Heng says, he will definitely take a bite. However, according to the meaning of Yan Xiao's words, he actually returned to Ruxi?
"Master, Ming people don't say secret words, Uncle Heng's time is even more precious, so I have something to say," Ru Xi smiled slightly, bowed to Yan Heng again, and turned to look directly at Pu Yu, "If you read this list, you will know what the wife has done in the matter of the dowry of the first mother." But now that the wood is in place, let's just talk about the solution. I have three requests, and the lord is willing to agree, and this confession will disappear and never see the light of day, which will be full of the lord's reputation and the relationship between you and your wife. ”
"Just say it." At this moment, he could still hear a glimmer of hope to protect the Chi family, and both Pu Yu and Chi's eyes lit up.
"First, the dowry of the late mother, please make up for it by the lord and wife. The utensils that could not be found were given to the jewelry of the two sisters, and they were all folded into cash. If you can't make up for it for a while, you will bother the old man to make a note today. I will entrust the Yongan ticket number outside to collect the accounts with the housekeeper in the house on a regular basis, which also avoids the embarrassment of talking to the master face-to-face about money. ”
After saying this, Ru Ji paused, and said: "Second, I want the family deed of all the people in Yuelu Curie, how much silver is worth, I will give the master cash, according to the market price." ”
"It's easy to say, it's natural." Pu Yu and Chi Shi hurriedly agreed, the first one to return the dowry, which is inevitable and expected, and the second one is not an accident, even if it is given for free, it has to be given, not to mention that Ru Ji is willing to take money to buy the maids above and below Yueluju, it is even more cost-effective.
Ru Ji smiled slightly: "In the end, I want the master to have a piece of paper, and in the future, my wife will not be able to interfere in my marriage." I don't need the old lady to plan for me, and I don't need to add makeup. Whether I have a good relationship or not, or whether I am a self-reliant woman, the old lady cannot interfere. ”
"This," Pu Yu couldn't help but glance at Yan Heng and his wife, "In the future, your marriage will be taken care of by the three generals and three ladies, which is naturally good." ”
Ru Ji didn't explain too much, only raised her eyebrows and smiled: "When it comes to marriage, everyone has their own destiny." As long as I have this paper document from my master, I want to write it in front of Uncle Heng, and you will not regret it in the future. ”
was said by Ru Ji in front of Yan Heng and others, Pu Yu was not used to slapping his face every day like Chi's, and his face was still slightly hot, but he didn't dare to lose his temper, so he had to cough a few times to hide his shame and embarrassment: "Ahem, ahem, this, naturally." ”
"The master agreed? Wife? Ru Ji glanced at Pu Yu, and then looked at the Chi family.
Chi Shi looked at the list of confessions in Pu Yu's hand, and couldn't help but turn his eyes on the one in Ru Xi's hand again: "Big girl, what you said is natural, but this list is ......."
Ru Ji couldn't help but smile when she heard this: "Madam, I can trust that the master will not disknow the words for the sake of the official voice, but I can't believe the wife's backhouse methods." In the future, if you think for a while that you don't have the money to give Ruyan Rushu ten miles of red makeup, and a bowl of decoction and medicine will kill me, then even if you don't bother your uncle and cousin to come over, we can still talk about it. ”
It is that Yan Heng and Lin Chengyue have both experienced countless ups and downs, and they can't help but be slightly moved when they hear the natural meaning of ruin and sinking the boat when they talk and laugh like this.
Yan Xiao secretly applauded in his heart, this cousin Ruxi is really a talent. In the affairs of the world, except for those who are so stupid that they can't even distinguish between the important and the north, it is difficult to control the interests and interests, the vast majority of people, the more they think they are smart, the more room for checks and balances and coercion.
Ru Ji is now showing the determination to break the net at any time, so that the Chi family will not dare to act rashly. Since Ru Ji had no intention of leaving the Pu family and living in the other place, then under the same roof, the confession of the Jingzhao Yamen was a sharp weapon for Ru Ji's protection.
After all, there are some things that can't be saved from near fire. But Ru Xi took this confession and these Pu Yu's written notes, plus the previous complaint about Chi Zhugui's bestiality, there was no support from the Yan family in the future, and the Chi family would not dare to touch her again.
At this point, Pu Yu and Chi had no room for bargaining, so Ru Xi took out the documents that had already been prepared, in triplicate. Pu Yu signed and pledged, and Yan Heng personally guaranteed it.
This large-scale tearing drama with Yanwei's dowry as the core finally came to an end at this time.
Although Pu Yu and Chi were depressed, they were not without joy. In the end, the Chi family does not have to be suspended, and the reputation of the Pu family is not lost for the time being.
And Ruji, who sent away the Yan family, began to plan the next stage of her life in Yueluju with great interest: "Caiyun, accompany me to buy cloth!" ”
