——————

In the evening of the next day, under the anti-expectation of everyone in the Wen family, Wen Qiran finally returned, with a tired body, and stepped over the brazier that had been prepared for a long time.

When Wen Qiran saw the Wen family patriarch and several Wen family elders around him, he was slightly taken aback, and bowed to the Wen family patriarch and said, "Patriarch Lao and a few elders are bothered. ”

The patriarch bowed slightly, the wrinkles on his face deepened a little, and he sighed and said: "Fortunately, it was only downgraded by one level, and the punishment was only two years, the old man was afraid."

Several elders also nodded and said, "It's good that you're safe, thanks to the blessing of your ancestors this time." ”

"There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, Qi Ran must be cautious as an official in the future, so as not to worry the elders." Wen Qiran said.

"Master, let's go take a shower and change clothes first." Steward Zhou said.

Wen Qiran answered, and left with Steward Zhou.

Mrs. Wen glanced at the patriarch, snorted lightly, and said secretly, you old things are light, the wool is not plucked from you, naturally it doesn't hurt, there is something in the clan that needs money, so I asked the lord for it, two years of Yu Lu said that it is not much, it is also an income, the money of the Wen Mansion is already stretched, how can it be good now, just relying on those few Zhuangzi who are not good harvests, it is far from enough, if it is the dowry of Qi Niang

"Mother." Wen Jing suddenly smiled and looked at Mrs. Wen and said.

Mrs. Wen came back to her senses and looked at Wen Jing with a meaningful smile. I was shocked, as if I was being seen through my thoughts, but there was no difference on my face, and I smiled: "What's the matter with Qi Niang?" ”

"Mother should tell the kitchen to make dishes, and father can eat after bathing." Wen Jing said.

"Yes, Mom He, let the kitchen cloth dishes." Mrs. Wen said to Mother He.

He Ma responded to the call.

When Wen Qiran came out of the shower and changed clothes, the two tables sat down and exchanged pleasantries, Wen Qiran was not in the mood. He learned about the process of these three cases from Gu Hengzhong, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites. I know that I am afraid that it will be another unjust case, and there is no evidence for Sixi's death, so the other scholar is afraid that he will be beaten into a trick, and Zhao Shenghua, the waiter of the Criminal Department, is the same as him in the Criminal Department. He naturally knows the character of this person. Just want to solve the case quickly. He was ruthless, and there were a lot of disputes when the two worked together in the past, but now he is the only one. is even more handy, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department turns a blind eye and doesn't care about him at all.

"In recent years, there have been a lot of turmoil in the Wen family, and the old man found a feng shui gentleman a few days ago, and after the feng shui gentleman saw it, he said that there was a gloomy place in the ancestral tomb, and the evil spirit was quite heavy, and it was not suitable to place the coffin." The patriarch said to Wen Qiran.

Mrs. Wen pricked up her ears and snorted coldly in her heart, I am afraid that it is a means to collect money, and she has set up a name for herself and even found a feng shui gentleman to talk about it, this kind of trick will be taken seriously.

"There are such sayings" Wen Qiran pondered for a moment, and then said: "That piece of land back then, but my great-grandfather invited a well-known feng shui master to see the treasure of feng shui. ”

The patriarch shook his head and said, "That's not necessary, Mr. Feng Shui said that there is only one cemetery, and you need to move five zhang to the south to continue to bless future generations." ”

"Which one?" Wen Qiran asked suspiciously.

The patriarch paused and said, "The tomb of the Chu clan." ”

"Smack!"

Mrs. Wen's chopsticks fell on the table, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and then she covered up the past, Wen Jing glanced at her, and her heart was full of doubts.

Wen Qiran was also surprised: "Patriarch, the deceased wife Chu was buried there more than ten years ago, if it was really her coffin that was not in place, why did it only appear in recent years?" ”

Mrs. Wen ordered someone to change a pair of chopsticks, and took a mouthful of food and put it in her mouth.

"This question the old man also asked the feng shui gentleman, he said that when the cemetery was not blocked, the evil qi could dissipate from the eyes by itself, and since it was blocked, it has become more and more dangerous over the years, and now, the only way to remove the tomb of the Chu family is to invite a Taoist priest to remove the evil." The patriarch continued.

Although Wen Jing doesn't believe in feng shui, but feng shui can't be completely feudal superstition, even in modern times, many people believe in feng shui very much, and she is more concerned about learning that her mother's tomb may be moved, why did Mrs. Wen lose her temper? Thinking that she was a person who collapsed in front of Mount Tai and did not move, she actually dropped her chopsticks to the ground in fright

"In this way, according to what the patriarch said, but I will first consult my father-in-law, Lord Chu, for this matter." Wen Qiran said.

"It should." The patriarch nodded.

"Master, Grandpa Leng is here." The housekeeper Zhou Quan trotted all the way over.

Grandpa Li? Wen Qiran was taken aback, he was now like a frightened bird, and he felt bad when he heard that there was a holy decree.

A room of people hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and walked out, knelt down to receive the order, everyone's face was panicked, and they said in their hearts, could it be that the saint thought that the punishment was too light, and issued an order to demote?

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said that the Wen family Qiniang because of her meritorious service in assisting Dali Temple to solve the case in this tribute case, it is now decided to give Dali Temple the post of evaluator, and go to Dali Temple to report on a certain day." Father-in-law Leng read it again after reading it himself, and made sure that he was not wrong, he sent so many holy decrees, this female official, he is still the first time, although there were female officials in the previous dynasty, after all, it was also a minority, where is this Wen family Qi Niang sacred?

Qi Niang?! Everyone in the Wen family was dumbfounded, even Wen Jing himself.

Seeing that the group of people below were still kneeling stupidly, Father-in-law Leng said impatiently: "Wen Qiniang quickly come up to receive the order!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Wen Jing stepped forward on his knees to accept the holy decree, and then read it again, making sure that it was correct.

Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Ping glanced at each other, and the two couldn't close their mouths in surprise, Wen Wuniang and Wen Jiuniang were not only surprised, but there was more jealousy in their eyes, and Wen Banniang was quite happy.

Wen Qiran ordered someone to take a piece of silver and put it in the hands of Father-in-law Leng.

"Farewell." Father-in-law Leng smiled.

"Send Father-in-law Leng out." Wen Qiran said to Steward Zhou.

"Yes, sir."

After Grandpa Leng walked away, a group of people returned to the house and continued to sit down.

Wen Qiran took the holy decree and saw that it was indeed written on Qi Niang, and said in his heart, why did the emperor have a whim and let Qi Niang be a female official?

"Qi Niang, what did you do? Why did the emperor suddenly confer your official position? The patriarch of the Wen family was puzzled, he really couldn't understand which one the emperor was singing, although the official position was not big, only an eight-grade petty official, but the female official was indeed the first one since this dynasty.

Wen Jing paused and said, "Patriarch Hui, Qi Niang just went to Dali Temple to provide some testimony to Lord Ji. ”

Wen Qiran understood, of course he knew that Wen Jing couldn't just provide testimony, and he asked her to go for an autopsy, but how did the saint know? Could it be that the little grandfather proposed it in front of the emperor

"The father is demoted to an official, and the daughter is an official, what kind of system is this rumored?" The patriarch sighed heavily, and the rest of the elders also sighed a few times.

Wen Jing smiled bitterly, this is not what she wants, she herself doesn't understand how this official fell from the sky and smashed her head, wouldn't Dali Temple have to face Ji Changge's black-bellied man every day in the future?

"This is a holy decree, and it is useless to oppose it." Wen Qiran said helplessly, it seems that the future will not be even more peaceful.

The patriarch thought for a moment and said, "If Qi Niang is unwell, or is about to get married, do you think you can let the emperor take back his life?" It was also a dispensable official position. ”

Wen Qiran looked at Wen Jing and said, "Let me think about it, the patriarch is relieved." ”

"Well, you take the time to ask your father-in-law, gather all the silver taels, and I will start construction, and the matter of moving the tomb is the top priority, and I can't delay." The patriarch said.

"How many taels of silver do you need?" Wen Qiran asked.

"A rough estimate, about a thousand taels." The patriarch said.

What the? One thousand taels? Mrs. Wen looked sideways, and it cost 1,000 taels to move a tomb? It's like a lion's mouth.

"Master, you have just been fined for two years, and the expenses at home are already heavy, and a large family is waiting to eat, right now, this thousand taels ...... Where did you come from......" Mrs. Wen whispered.

Wen Qiran's face was slightly angry, but he couldn't say why for a while, Mrs. Wen was taking care of the family's income and expenses, and he didn't know the specific situation of Lu Dao.

"Wouldn't it be okay to sell a shop or a Zhuangzi."

Mrs. Wen was anxious: "This thing of killing chickens and taking eggs can't be done, besides, it's all the dowry of the little ladies in the family, what will you give to the little ladies to marry in the future?" ”

Although the little ladies didn't say it on their faces, they were all anxious in their hearts, it was a symbol of their status in their in-laws' family in the future, and they didn't have a decent dowry, even if they married in the future, they had no confidence to speak, and it was a lifelong thing.

Wen Qiran was in a dilemma, this is not selling, there is no money if he doesn't sell, and the patriarch is in a hurry, only then did he realize the embarrassment of lack of money.

"Mother, it's better to mortgage my shop to the pawnshop first, and then redeem it when you have money." Wen Jing suggested.

A few little ladies looked at each other, and said in their hearts, this shop is mortgaged, and if it can't be redeemed in the future, it will be empty.

The patriarch glanced at Wen Jing with satisfaction: "Qi Niang really has the temperament of a concubine, no wonder the saint values you so much." ”

Wen Jing smiled a little shyly, but sneered in his heart, what kind of system did you say just now, if you have money for you, you will have the demeanor of a concubine?

Mrs. Wen looked at Wen Jing's shy look, and the doubts in her heart disappeared a little, and she said in her heart, she just wanted to please the patriarch, but this tomb could never be moved, she wanted to dispel the patriarch's idea by saying that she had no money, but she didn't expect Wen Qiniang to be willing to mortgage her shop out, which made her lose her mind, but moving the tomb is not to say that it can be moved, if the Chu family does not agree, Wen Qiran can't move, the Chu family is a big family, although there has been little contact with the Wen family in recent years, But that's just because they have a grudge against Wen Qiran, it doesn't mean that they don't care about their daughter, it seems that she needs to go to her mother's house (to be continued......
