After Nangong Yi was fed, he left with a satisfied expression, and the extreme happiness and satisfaction brought to him by his mother made him forget about pursuing her investigation of the male prisoner, and almost left in a flutter.

Hey, man, it's an animal that thinks on its own.

Cai Wei sighed, dragged her tired body and got up, opened the file, and checked the case records of these death row inmates.

After checking for a long time, she fell in love with a man named Lu Wu, Lu Wu is a person from the capital, only 22 years old this year, and has been sentenced by Ying Tianfu to behead the queen of autumn for committing the crime of murder, fraud and adultery.

This Lu Wuyuan is a butcher, and his mother Lu Pozi is a matchmaker who goes from house to house, and when there is no matchmaker to do, he carries a bamboo basket to the door, and on the grounds of selling silk flowers, he specializes in helping people do some stealing and tricky things, making some money, and is a famous Ma Boliu and female Lu Jia.

Last year, this Mrs. Lu was entrusted by the son of a big family in the city to hook up with the daughter of the Pan family in the west of the city to commit adultery. When Lu Wu heard the old lady talk about it, he couldn't help but get angry with the daughter of the Pan family, so he pleaded with her mother to deceive the daughter of the Pan family and let her stay in the window every night, while he pretended to be the son to commit adultery with the daughter of the Pan family.

The daughter of the Pan family has long been interested in that son, but because the door to the family is too tight, she can't meet her lover, and now with Mrs. Lu's needle, it is naturally a matter of course.

Lu Wu and the daughter of the Pan family slept for a few nights, and the Pan family and his wife gradually heard the movement, doubted in their hearts, and interrogated their daughter a few times, but the daughter refused to admit it. In the evening, when Lu Wu came to have a private meeting, the daughter of the Pan family told him that her parents had noticed it and asked him not to come again.

Lu Wu tasted the sweetness, how could he not be reluctant, he agreed, but he was very dissatisfied in his heart, after four or five nights, he suddenly had a lustful heart, couldn't hold it, and wanted to have fun with the daughter of the Pan family, so he quietly sneaked into the boudoir of the daughter of the Pan family.

Unexpectedly, the Pan family and his wife had already changed bedrooms with their daughter because they suspected that their daughter had done something ugly, intending to arrest the adulterer, and when Lu Wu sneaked in, the husband and wife had already slept. Before going to bed, the husband and wife did something inappropriate, but they were too tired afterwards to even wear clothes, so they fell asleep with each other in their arms.

After Lu Wu sneaked in, he took advantage of the moonlight and saw a couple of men and women on the bed, and thought that the daughter of the Pan family had hooked up with someone else, so he deliberately used the excuse to cut him off, and in a fit of anger, he touched the kitchen and killed a couple on the bed with a kitchen knife.

The next day, the daughter of the Pan family waited for her parents for a long time, and when she found the house, she found that her parents had been killed.

Later, Ying Tianfu Mansion Yin took a lot of twists and turns to catch the real murderer Lu Wu, but the daughter of the Pan family died because her parents died for her, and she died headlong after the case was solved, and the rich son was mistaken for the murderer at the beginning, and he was really tortured.

Therefore, although Lu Wu killed two people, in fact, four people died because of him, and he has been convicted of an unforgivable capital crime, and he will be beheaded after the autumn.

Cai Wei chose him, because this kind of sinner who had several lives on his shoulders, it was too cheap to kill him with just one knife, and he could just use him to help Liu Xi.

made up her mind, Cai Wei called the newly appointed eunuch Jia Yanhui around her, and ordered him to go to the prison to explain that during these days, she would give Na Lu Wu a good recuperation and recuperation, and regularly let the imperial doctor take his pulse.

She knows the rules in the prison, a death row prisoner like Lu Wu who has no money must usually be beaten and kicked by the jailer, and when Lu Wuzhi's love is interrogated, he must not be punished less, so his body must be very poor, at this time, it is not appropriate to cut things on him...

Following

After Nangong Yi went to court, Cai Wei put the three fed buns into the space, and stored some snacks and fruits in the space to keep them to eat when they were hungry.

After getting ready, she changed into the clothes worn by ordinary people and went out of the palace alone, and now she has made an appointment with Chrysanthemum to check the accounts together.

However, before checking the accounts, she planned to go to the support hall first, since she was pregnant and gave birth, she hadn't been to the support hall and the Yishan hall once, so it would be good to come out today and go to see it together.

Now it is the weather of April in the solar calendar, the peach trees have bloomed, the leaves have sprouted, the people on the street have put on single clothes, walking in the noisy and prosperous streets, everywhere is a group of flowers and willow green, full of spring.

Chrysanthemum sat in the carriage, looking out at the street scene through the glass window, her eyebrows fluttering excitedly, chattering endlessly.

"I haven't been out for more than half a month, I didn't expect the outside to change so much, look, that tree, is the one next to the 'Jing Ba Er', the last time I saw it, it was still bare, this time I saw it was green..."

“……”

"Oh, Caiwei, look, there's a monkey over there, let's go and see if we're going to see it? Let's go, let's go......"

Cai Wei was so noisy that she had a headache and threatened her: "If you are not honest again, Ming'er will obediently stay at home to prepare the dowry, and don't think about going out with me again." ”

Frightened by her like this, Chrysanthemum stuck out her tongue and obediently closed her mouth, never daring to make noise about her anymore.

When I arrived at the support hall, Aunt Mo, the director of the support hall, took it out, and the support hall in the capital has always been taken care of by Mrs. Mo, because Mrs. Mo is honest and kind, so she is very relieved to put the support hall in her hands, even if she doesn't come for more than a year, she is not worried about what will happen.

Aunt Mo was very happy to see Cai Wei, as if she had seen a relative, she took her hand and asked long and short questions.

Cai Wei saw that the support hall was well organized by her, and the people in the support hall were also well taken care of, and she was very satisfied, she expressed her gratitude to Aunt Mo, and asked her how she was doing recently, and if there was anything she needed her help with?

Aunt Mo hesitated for a moment, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm ashamed, Auntie really has something I want to ask you for help today." ”

"Oh? What's up? Auntie, might as well come and hear it? ”

"It's my unconscious son, now he has reached the age of starting a family, but he doesn't even have a daughter-in-law, others have reached my age, they have hugged their grandchildren, but I don't have a grandson to hold, so my heart is always empty and uncomfortable!"

Cai Wei said in surprise: "Brother Liancheng is a talent, and he is the big shopkeeper of Yishan Hall, how can he not find a daughter-in-law?" But his heart is too high? ”

Aunt Mo said: "Exactly, that child, I found him a few capable daughters-in-law, he didn't want it, he had to find a literate and hyphenated person, but how many girls from small families were literate?" Most of the literate girls are the daughters of big families, and the big families say a lot, I heard that Cheng'er has such an unsuccessful father, and I am afraid that he will be like his old son, so I don't want to be close to my family, hey, because of this, his marriage has not been decided until now, and he is about to worry me to death...... So, Wei'er, look, do you know a suitable girl, help my family introduce my family, my family marries a daughter-in-law, one does not ask for the other party's appearance, and the other does not ask for the other party's family background, as long as it is the daughter of a pure white family, knowledgeable and knowledgeable, the family is poor, and the appearance is generally okay. ”

Cai Wei listened and said with a smile: "Okay, don't worry, Auntie, Brother Liancheng's family affairs are wrapped up in me, I will help you find a satisfactory daughter-in-law to come, and honor your old man well." ”

As soon as she spoke, Aunt Mo smiled, and thanked Cai Wei one after another.

The chrysanthemum on the side muttered quietly: "I didn't expect that the dignified queen mother would have to work part-time as a matchmaker!" ”

Cai Wei gave her a blank look, ignored her, and then resigned from Aunt Mo and took her to Yishan Hall.

Yishan Hall is still the same as before, the patients who see a doctor are still poor, many poor people who can't afford to pay for the consultation are waiting in line to grab the free decoction, Mo Liancheng saw Cai Wei coming, hurriedly came out of the counter, respectfully saluted Cai Wei, and invited Cai Wei to sit inside, I haven't seen him for more than a year, Mo Liancheng has matured a lot, and he already has the stability and bearing of a mature man, and he is no longer a down-and-out boy who Cai Wei helps.

After letting Cai Wei into the inner room and sitting down, Mo Liancheng personally served tea, and moved out the account book of Yishan Hall, and asked Cai Wei to take a look.

Chrysanthemum leaned into Cai Wei's ear and whispered, "He's the man who wants to marry a girl who knows how to read and write?" ”

Cai Wei's eyes didn't leave the ledger, and she whispered, "What? Do you want to marry? ”

"I didn't!"

Chrysanthemum's face was red when she was wronged, but she obediently shut up and didn't say anything more.

Cai Wei carefully checked the accounts, and after finding that there were no doubts, she asked him about some matters in Yishantang, such as whether there were any difficulties, whether anyone came to find trouble, etc......

Mo Liancheng answered one by one, and when he heard Cai Wei ask if anyone was looking for trouble, Mo Liancheng smiled and said, "Everyone in the capital knows who the proprietor behind our Yishantang is, who is stupid and crazy, and dares to come to Yishantang to find trouble?" ”

As soon as she spoke, Cai Wei also smiled, it was already noon, because Chrysanthemum's stomach was already growling, so, after checking the account, Cai Wei left Yishan Hall and took Chrysanthemum to lunch.

Chrysanthemum followed Cai Wei all morning, just waiting for this lunch, when she was taken to the Mu family's Bafu Restaurant by Cai Wei, her happy eyes narrowed into moon buds.

"Hehe, Cai Wei, you still love me, knowing that I have been vegetarian for so long, you specially invited me to eat kebabs to comfort me......"

Cai Wei looked at her with a smile and couldn't help but hit her and said, "Do you really not mind your figure?" Or aren't you afraid that your future husband will be dissatisfied with your figure? ”

Chrysanthemum said disapprerovingly: "Mind, I also want to lose weight and be a fair lady, but if the condition for losing weight is that I don't eat good things, I'd better be a happy fat man!" As for whether others dislike me or not, it doesn't matter at all, to be honest, I wish he hated me and wouldn't marry me, in that case, I can be a free and easy fat man......"

Cai Wei was defeated by her unremitting foodie spirit, shook her head helplessly, and took her up to feast.

The two asked for a private room, and after sitting down, Chrysanthemum ordered a lot of anger, and about four or five people couldn't finish eating, Cai Wei said with a headache: "Chrysanthemum, do you think you can eat so much?" Don't waste it! ”

Shen Juhua said calmly: "Since you ordered it, you can naturally finish eating, Caiwei, shouldn't you be distressed?" ”

Cai Wei held her forehead, distressed, she is a veritable richest man in Dajin, not to mention inviting friends to eat a meat skewer, that is, inviting her to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, monkey head bird's nest, she can also afford it!

"I'm just worried that it will break you, if you can eat it, just order it, even if you eat all the meat skewers in the restaurant, I won't feel distressed!"

Shen Juhua smiled and said, "Then I'm not welcome, I'm going to pick up the good points and try to make you poor!" ”

Cai Wei smiled dumbly, now, even if she invites the people of the Great Jin Kingdom to eat a meat skewer, she will not eat the poor, now, her wealth is just a number to her, and there is no richer person in this world, including her husband!

The skewers were quickly grilled, and the oily pieces of meat were dressed on skewers, sprinkled with various spices, and bubbling with oil, which looked delicious.

Shen Juhua didn't say a word, picked up the meat skewers and began to feast. Cai Wei also began to eat, but her eating appearance is more than Shen Juhua's, Shen Juhua is sturding into two bunches, and Cai Wei has not finished eating one bunch!

was eating elegantly when he suddenly heard the voice of a woman next door.

"It's really accurate, my mother-in-law calculated there, when my brother-in-law will come back, the fortune teller said that he will be able to come back on the day of the festival, and as a result, he really came back yesterday, and my mother-in-law happily sent someone to reward the iron mouth with a silver tael!"

"Really? Is it really that accurate? I've also heard of this Zhang Tiezui, it is said that he only sells three trigrams every day, and if you want to find him for fortune telling, you have to make an appointment! ”

"Of course it's accurate, Zhang Tiezui is a Ming half-fairy, I heard that many ministers in the court have asked him to calculate the fate of the future, and many official wives and ladies have gone to him to tell fortunes, but, no matter who this iron mouth is, he only sells three trigrams every day, no matter how big the official is, he must line up according to his rules, and the day of the queue will be counted, and he will never be special because of whose official rank is big!"

"Sure enough, there are people who are Taoist, and when they change to ordinary people, when they see the official master, they have long been upside down and somehow they have met well, but people are doing things according to their own rules, which is something that ordinary people can't do."

"That is, whoever gives as much silver as he wants, Zhang Tiezui will not make an exception, but selling one or two pieces of silver for a hexagram is indeed enough for him to earn......"

The chatter next door couldn't help but attract Cai Wei, even the chrysanthemum that was full of oil was also attracted, her eyes were bright, she listened to the movement next door with her ears sideways, and said excitedly: "Cai Wei, otherwise, let's go to that iron mouth in the afternoon to have a look, it won't take long anyway!" ”

Cai Wei was just about to speak, and Yu'er's voice came from the space, it turned out that this little guy was going to poop, suddenly, the corners of Cai Wei's mouth twitched, and hurriedly said to Chrysanthemum: "I'll go to the back kitchen to see Aunt Zhang first, I haven't seen her for a long time, I miss her." After speaking, without waiting for Chrysanthemum to reply, he left in a panic.

Walking to an empty private room with no one occupied, she flashed in and went straight into the space.

At this moment, Yu'er was squatting under a yew tree, her little face flushed and pulling poop.

Cai Wei hurriedly ran back to the bamboo house, found shovels, tissue paper and other things, and came back to serve this little ancestor. As long as the discarded things in the space are buried in the ground, they will soon be turned into soil, so every time the children pull the poop, they will be buried on the spot by Cai Wei, and then the stinky poop will naturally turn into soil and disappear, which is both trouble-free and environmentally friendly!

After serving the little ancestor, Cai Wei washed her hands, took the three of them into the room, and coaxed them to sleep......

In fact, she doesn't have to work so hard, she can leave the children in the palace and let Xiaozhi and Chunliu help her take care of them. But Cai Wei just didn't feel at ease, if she didn't take them with her, she wouldn't be able to go anywhere, no matter where she went, if she didn't take them, it would be like her soul being brought out.

This is probably the so-called motherly feelings!

In her previous life, she always thought that she was a person with a cold and withdrawn temperament, no matter who she was indifferent to, but now she found out that she was actually a very emotional person, and her feelings were also very rich, and her personality in her previous life was caused by her growth environment.

When she came out, Chrysanthemum was anxiously and eagerly waiting for her, and she was already impatient, and when she saw Cai Wei, she immediately said like a cannon: "Why did you come back?" Let me tell you, I just went to the next door to ask them where Zhang Tiezui'er's hexagram is, and after dinner, let's go over and see if he is as divine as the legend! ”

Cai Wei had just processed the poop and had no appetite to eat anymore, she sat on the side, chuckled and said, "It's okay, then you can eat quickly, I've been full, and we'll go over when you're done." ”

Chrysanthemum listened to Cai Wei willing to go with her, and suddenly smiled, she happily stroked the strings, and said: "I knew you would agree, Cai Wei is the best, uh, by the way, don't worry, I just ate three points full, and we'll go over when I'm full." ”

Waiting for the chrysanthemum to eat is a difficult and long process, Cai Wei sat patiently on the side with her chin on her chin, appreciating her good appetite speechlessly, and when she was about seven or eight minutes full, an uninvited guest broke in.

It was Mo Shuya, the eldest lady of the Liguo Mansion, obviously, they didn't meet by chance, because Mo Shuya came directly, this eldest lady didn't follow other people's guilt at all, and after saluting Cai Wei with a big sigh, she asked: "Queen Mother, I'm here to talk to Sister Chrysanthemum, okay?" ”

Cai Wei nodded, "Okay", and motioned for her to be casual.

Mo Shuya was recognized by Cai Wei, and immediately turned to Chrysanthemum, and said with deep resentment: "Chrysanthemum, what's the matter with you, I haven't replied to your letters these days, and I haven't seen you when I visit your house, are you cutting off relations with me?" ”

Chrysanthemum said with a bitter face: "It's not that I don't reply, it's not that I don't see you, I was looked at by my parents, they were afraid that I had a connection with the Liguo Mansion, and even Xiaokui was sent to another place on an errand. ”

When Mo Shuya heard this, she said angrily: "Your father and mother are so selfish, obviously you and my third uncle are in love, in order to provide for their own retirement, they have to beat the mandarin ducks, let you recruit a son-in-law, they don't want to think about it, if it wasn't for my third uncle who saved you, they wouldn't even have a daughter, what kind of son-in-law would they recruit, really!" ”

"Agreed?"

This sensitive word was immediately mentioned by Cai Wei, she looked at the chrysanthemum fixedly, and asked, "Are you sure that you are in love with Mo Zi?" ”

If Chrysanthemum really fell in love with Mo Zi, it would be easy to do, she could respect her wishes and give her marriage directly, but if it wasn't for that, she wouldn't be able to interfere.

However, Chrysanthemum held back for a long time before she said weakly: "I don't know! ”

Mo Shuya was anxious, and said, "What is there not to know about this? Do you have my third uncle in your heart? ”

"Yes, Chrysanthemum, what do you think in your heart, who do you want to marry? In other words, do you often think of Mo Zili for no reason? Is it longing to see him? Do you blush and heartbeat when you see him? Will you be reluctant to part with him? Do you want to be with him for a long time? ”

Cai Wei also followed Mo Shuya to ask Chrysanthemum, wanting to know what she really thought in her heart.

Chrysanthemum thought for a long time, shook her head blankly, and said, "No! However, I always feel sorry for him, he almost died for me, and I feel really guilty......"

Mo Shuya said angrily: "What's the use of guilt? Since you feel guilty, take out your courage, reason with your father, and let your father and mother fulfill your marriage with my third uncle! ”

Chrysanthemum said: "However, my mother said that if your family hadn't transferred my father to the capital, I wouldn't have fallen into the cliff, so even if he saved me, it would be ...... You're welcome....... ”

The last three words, she said in a mosquito-like tone, obviously she did not agree with her father's statement, and she still felt sorry for Mo Zili.

Mo Shuya was angry by Chrysanthemum's words, she slapped the table, and said angrily: "Shen Juhua, you are so conscienceless, in vain my third uncle sacrificed his life to save you, you are not worthy of his salvation at all, I will go back to my third uncle and let him forget about you, a ruthless and unrighteous woman!" After speaking, he stood up suddenly, couldn't even bother to say goodbye to Cai Wei, flicked the curtain, and went away angrily.

Chrysanthemum looked at Mo Shuya's angry back, shrunk her neck, and said, "Cai Wei, did I offend Shu Ya, hey, you see that she is so angry, her face is blue!" ”

Cai Wei sighed and said, "Chrysanthemum, lifelong events are not child's play, what do you think in your heart?" Who exactly do you want to marry? It's not always so confusing after all, isn't it? ”

Chrysanthemum said with a bitter face: "Cai Wei, I'm not confused, I really don't know, to be honest, my true idea is that no one will marry, but my father and mother don't allow it, so I think if I have to marry, just listen to my father's arrangement, but after listening to them, I feel a little sorry for Mo Zili, hey, what should I do?" ”

She tapped her forehead irritably, at a loss. As he was knocking, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he said, "Yes, Caiwei, why don't we go to Zhang Tiezui and ask him later?" Doesn't it mean that he is very godly? I'd like to hear what he had to say? ”

When she encountered such a confused master, Cai Wei was also drunk, but it seemed that she was really stumped, and she had no choice, and Cai Wei was not good at making decisions for others, so she had to agree to her proposal.

After Chrysanthemum finished eating, the two left Bafu Restaurant and went to Li Tiezuier's hexagram shop.

The hexagram shop is located at the end of Surabaya Street in the capital, it is a small shop, there is a hundred-year-old locust tree growing in front of the door, the ancient tree is verdant, the hexagram shop is hidden under the tree, in front of the hexagram shop, there is a long queue waiting for the fortune teller, is stretching his neck to look inside, looking anxious and pious.

Seeing this battle, Chrysanthemum couldn't help but say: "God, that iron mouth only divides three trigrams a day, these people can count it in the year of the monkey!" ”

"Since you're here, let's go down and have a look!"

Cai Wei got out of the car, told the coachman to wait here, and walked with Chrysanthemum to the hexagram shop.

I saw that the hexagram was paved with a few couplets, on the left was "only a mysterious and wonderful group", and on the right was "do not say ordinary half a sentence." There is another pair of clouds inside: "An iron mouth, seeing through people and asking for evil and good fortune; Two strange eyes, good at observing the defeat and prosperity in the world. Another cloud on the table: "There is a lot of money in the sleeves; The sun and the moon are long in the pot. ”

"Heh, the tone is not small, but I don't know how I can do it?"

Cai Wei laughed and said to Chrysanthemum: "You can line up here, I'll go back to the car and squint for a while, I got up early today, I'll be very tired now." ”

Chrysanthemum said: "You go, I'll look for you when it's over later!" With that, he joined the long line.

Cai Wei didn't get up early, but the buns were about to wake up, they were going to eat after waking up, although they had eaten some before, but they were all snacks and fruits, and the main meal had not yet been eaten, so, while the chrysanthemums were queuing, she returned to the car and entered the space to cook for the children.

When she returned to the space, the children were still asleep sweetly, Cai Wei ran to the vegetable field, found a big pumpkin, and made some sweet pumpkin pie for the children.

She also deliberately boiled some tomato sauce to dip in pumpkin pie to eat, and cooked a little salted edamame for the next dish, steamed a bowl of tender egg custard, the children are still young, can't eat too hard things, she doesn't want to give the children too much stir-fried vegetables, egg custard is both nutritious and delicious, so it has become the most dish she makes for the children.

Not long after they finished cooking, the buns woke up one after another, and Cai Wei took them to boo first, then helped them wash their little hands and came to the table to eat.

It was the first time that the buns had eaten pumpkin pie, and when Cai Wei sandwiched the pumpkin pie with tomato sauce into their bowls, several buns immediately became curious, and they all looked at the new dish with big watery eyes.

Although they were curious, they also knew that the things that their mothers made for them must be good, so no one hesitated, and one by one they pinched the pumpkin pie with their little fat hands and put it in their mouths.

The same pumpkin pie, eating a few buns in the mouth, but showing different results, Jin'er frowned, seemed to be very dissatisfied, probably because he didn't like the sweetness of the pumpkin pie; Mingzhu liked it very much, and after taking a bite, she immediately took another big bite, and ate it with relish, her eyes were bent, and she looked very happy; Yu'er didn't have any special expression, she ate obediently, and she couldn't tell whether she liked it or not......

Cai Wei doesn't like children to be picky eaters, what she makes, whether they like to eat it or not, they must eat it, otherwise they will be hungry, she will never cook for children because they are picky eaters, she thinks that if she does that, she is not helping children, but promoting children's picky eating habits!

Under her gentle care, a few buns were full, and even the picky Jin'er ate a pumpkin pie, and after eating, they walked on their little short legs and went out happily to play, Cai Wei handed them over to Changmei and Parrot, and hurried back to the car.

Chrysanthemum is about to come back, and it will scare her if she comes back and sees that she is not in the car.

Not long after returning to the carriage, Chrysanthemum also returned, and as soon as she got into the car, she complained: "There are a lot of people, but they are finally in line, but they are lined up seven days later, and it is Shen Shi, Cai Wei, can you come out at that time?" ”

Cai Wei said: "Yes! ”

Even if she can't get out, she has to get it, otherwise, Chrysanthemum's parents won't let her out.

Seeing Cai Wei being so righteous, Shen Juhua said happily: "Cai Wei, you are so interesting!" ”

……

In the Liguo Mansion

Mo Shuya angrily recounted to Mo Zili the process of seeing Shen Juhua to herself, and said hatefully: "Third uncle, Shen Juhua is really too much, you even gave up your life for her, but she treats you like this, I knew that she was such a heartless, ruthless and unrighteous woman, I won't interact with her, what a white-eyed wolf!" ”

After listening to Mo Shuya's words, Mo Zili smiled indifferently and said: "Chrysanthemum is not heartless, ruthless and unrighteous, she is just relatively dull, sooner or later, she will figure it out!" ”

Mo Shuya said in astonishment: "Third uncle, what do you mean by that, don't you give up on her?" ”

Give up, how can you give up!

Listening to Mo Shuya's childish words, Mo Zili smiled bitterly, how could he give up the person who he regarded as the salvation of life!
