Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Bizarre Event
From Shi Wen Zhengyue to the present, he has been away from home for a long time, thinking about his wife and concubine at home, so he has the idea of returning to his hometown. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Unexpectedly, as soon as I packed my bags, I received two letters from home.
One was written by his wife Yu, the Yu family knew that he was not on the spring list, and Professor Yu was trying to find a way to ask someone to give him a vacant son, so that he could wait in the capital.
Shi Wen took a sip after reading the letter, then Jia Yuan didn't say anything good about himself when he went back, who knows if this lack of things is reliable.
Shi Wen really wronged Professor Yu this time, this lack of children is not far from ten, of course, if the Yu family has an outstanding offspring, such a good thing will not be Shi Wen's grandson-in-law.
The other letter was actually written by the patriarch of the parents in his hometown, and the letter read: "If it is Lianjie, it will be gratifying; If he reciprocates, he will quickly donate a middle school book in Beijing and serve in Beijing. The letter also contained 3,000 taels of silver tickets, "If you can be an official outside, no one in your family will dare to bully, the silver is made up by everyone, and it must be used on the blade, and it must not be ridiculous."
Shi Wen received the letter, and when he was conflicted, he discussed it with Fan Dianguan next door.
Not long ago, this scribe met a familiar clerk, and he thought of a plan for him, changed the words of the previous case (impeachment case) to lighten it, and then donated the money to the reinstatement officer, and added tricks (various names set up to increase the amount of money donated to the official), and he was still a candidate in the ministry.
Coincidentally, Fan Dianguan had just been selected as the "hometown" (the place where he was an official last time), and before he had time to be happy, he heard that his former "old master", the one who was impeached, did not know what method he used, and the official was reinstated, so the secretary asked Fan Dianguan if he would like to go to Jiangnan with him again.
Naturally, I don't want to!
So Fan Dianguan had to stay in Beijing and continue to wait for the selection, and the vacancy was replaced. Of course, such a shortage of fat also made the bookstore earn a lot of "labor fees".
Since Shi Wen fell off the list, Fan Dianguan has not been drinking with him, anyway, he doesn't have to pay for it himself, and he doesn't drink for nothing.
Sven told him the two letters from home.
Fan Dianguan originally looked down on Shi Wen, but when he saw that his family had made another way and there was money to donate to officials, he became warm with him again.
Fan Dianguan found a fellow villager, a mouthful of Beijing films, and said that he knew the secretary office in the ministry, and it was absolutely appropriate to find him to do something.
Shi Wenxin thought it was true, but he also kept an eye on it, saying that he only had 1,000 taels on him now, and any more would have to wait for the remittance at home.
One thousand taels of silver was enough, so Fan Dianguan took one thousand taels on his behalf, and Shi Wen promised that he would pay him back when he took office.
Fan Dianguan took 2,000 taels, because Shi Wen himself had a seal (guarantee), and only spent 500 taels to invite a familiar secretary to change Shi Wen from filial piety to Zhongshu and serve in Beijing.
Shi Wen saw that Fan Dianguan went in and out every day, either inviting this or asking that, and thought that he was sparing no effort to do things for himself, and he thought that Fan Dianguan was even more highly regarded in his heart.
Who knew that the Yu family was surprisingly reliable, even Shi Wen didn't expect that in less than a month, the official vacancy came out, but it was not a rich place, but Benxi County, east of Liaoyang County.
Shi Wen didn't say it, but in his heart, the boss was unhappy. He has never heard of this place, you see Guo Xiaoqing, who was sent to Shangrao, Jiangxi, but he is going to eat ice and snow in the northeast, the key is that he has to donate another 10,000 taels of silver!
Fan Dianzhi is also not satisfied with this lack of land, but it is not a lack of children, Benxi County is also a county, there are people in the county, and there are people in the county, and there is money if there are people. It's a big deal to get a little more money in three years to get a good place.
"My lord, this kind of lack can't be found all over the street." Don't be too ambitious!
Shi Wen rubbed his hands and said, "I can only get three thousand taels now..."
When Fan Dianguan heard this, he said in his heart: This guy still owes me a thousand taels, if you go to Benxi County... Yes, a good man will do it to the end, send the Buddha to the west, I still think about it for him.
Fan Dianguan hurriedly lived for a few more days, and got a master with a belly (when the official took office, he borrowed money from the staff), a second master with a belly, 3,000 taels each, and said that after he took office, one would manage the account room and the other would do the manuscript. He ruthlessly took out 1,000 taels and made up 10,000 square meters to settle the official vacancy.
After waiting for the documents in the ministry, Shi Wen changed his disgusted face at the beginning, first wrote a letter to his old family to report the good news, and then sent a letter urging Wu to go to Beijing one day and accompany him to his post.
Yu Weiwei received a secret hatred in her confidence, Wu will go with you to take office, and it should be. But she stayed in Jinan Mansion by herself, why did she ask her to go back to her hometown to serve her in-laws! The Wu family followed you to eat and drink spicy food, and I, Yu Weiwei, should be a cow and a horse for your Shi family!?
Sven also knew that Yu Weiwei didn't look down on his family, so he repaired a letter to Professor Yu, and his words were no longer the small act of "sending people under the fence" at the beginning.
Professor Yu called his granddaughter to him to reprimand, and Yu Weiwei reluctantly went to the countryside.
******
Until the eve of the Halloween, Qinglan did not see Thirteen.
wanted to ask Lin Yinfei (he is the prince's companion) to inquire, but he didn't see anyone for more than ten days.
And Appleface was also sent to the Xishan camp by the emperor ten days ago, and the beautiful name is called: guidance and learning.
Qinglan smelled an unusual smell in the middle of the capital.
told the third grandfather, and the old general advised her: "Inquire less, talk less, close the door and read your book well." β
The day after he didn't want to say this, the number of soldiers on the street increased more than fivefold, and Qinglan's carriage was inspected several times before it arrived at Guozijian.
"Master," Qinglan looked forward and found that there was not even a cat shadow around, so she closed the door tightly and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" β
Mr. Ji ignored her, rubbing a rusty "sword" in his hand (Qinglan always thought it was an ornament), and only after half a sound did he muffle: "The eldest son of the fifth prince has died." β
Yes?!!
That thirteen must not be distressed to death, after all, this is his first nephew, and he loves that child very much.
Qinglan remembered the soldiers on the street, and whispered, "Did you catch anyone?" β
Mr. Ji glanced at his apprentice stunned, "How do you know that it's not the reason why the emperor's eldest grandson is already weak?" β
Qinglan thought of the excitement of buying fireworks on the thirteenth, if the child was weak, it would be impossible...
"The streets are full of soldiers..."Qinglan (who felt herself) hit the nail on the head.
"Maybe it's for Halloween." Mr. Ji looked like he didn't care about himself.
"Hallowe?" Master, who are you coaxing? It's just that Qinglan muttered in a low voice: "Does the emperor still have the heart to celebrate the festival?" β
Mr. Ji glared at his apprentice and continued to compete with his "sword".
"Master, who do you think did it?" Qinglan intuitively felt that the eldest grandson of the emperor was killed by someone.
"Favorable people."
These words were too light, as if they had never appeared, and Qinglan wondered if they had come up with their own imagination.
There are too many beneficial people, and there are several adult princes alone. Thirteen and two uncles.
For a while, Qinglan was full of conspiracy theories.
Well... Who is competing with the five princes for the crown? - Uh, except for thirteen, it seems that all the other princes can be counted.
Who is the one who doesn't deal with Thirteen? β¦β¦ It doesn't seem to be much to deal with, except for the five princes.
"Not the prince." Mr. Ji seemed to remind him unintentionally.
If it's not the prince, who is that? Could it be the remnants of the previous dynasty?
Qinglan pointed to the door with an exaggerated expression.
Mr. Ji gave her a blank look, which was really imaginative.
On the day of the Wanshou Festival, before the carriage and horses of the old general reached the palace gate, he was notified that the palace banquet was canceled.
(I wore the outfit on my body for nearly half an hour)
For a time, everyone in the capital was in danger, every house was closed, all the small merchants and vendors on the streets were gone, and most of the shops were down.
On the second day of the Wanshou Festival, the streets were empty and terrible, the soldiers were three steps, one sentry, five steps and one post, Qinglan held the food box prepared by Pan Erniang and boarded the carriage to Guozijian.
In the past few days, the number of students in the school has decreased significantly, and many people have taken leave to go home.
Mr. Ji's courtyard door was bolted from the inside, indicating that there were important guests in his room, orβhe hadn't gotten up yet.
Mr. Ji personally came out to open the door, and when he saw that it was Qinglan, he glanced at the apprentice, and he himself went out of the courtyard door and locked it from the outside.
Who is it?
Qinglan tiptoed open the door.
A familiar figure, head hanging over a picked up arm.
"Thirteen?"
Qinglan bit her lower lip in surprise and sat down gently beside Thirteen, this kid... I'm sad.
Thirteen didn't look up.
"That's... How is your sister-in-law? "The child is gone, and the saddest thing is the mother.
A woman's heart-rending cry suddenly sounded in Thirteen's mind, and he subconsciously shook his head.
"......" Qinglan was secretly annoyed that she didn't open which pot to mention, so she simply closed her mouth and stayed quietly with Thirteen.
"What does it smell like?" After a moment of silence, Thirteen raised his head and let out a hoarse voice.
Only then did Qinglan realize that his eyes were red, his lips were cracked, and his face was black.
Thirteen turned his head to prevent Qinglan from looking at him.
"That's... Are you hungry? Would you like to have something to eat? β
Thirteen glanced at her dissatisfied, this still needs to be asked!
When I opened the food box, the food was still hot.
Thirteen began to eat carelessly, and in the blink of an eye, he devoured it.
"Slow down." Qinglan looked around and found that the kettle was empty, what time did this guy come, and Mr. hadn't boiled the water yet.
"Anything else?" In fact, I was already full, and I just wanted to see Qinglan's complicated little eyes.
β¦β¦ It was lunch for me and Xiaobao.
"The palace doesn't care about your food?" Qinglan began to think about where to go for lunch.
Thirteen fell silent again.
"......" Call you a lot of mouth, call you a lot of mouth!
Maybe it was because he was in a good mood after eating, Thirteen slowed down, and complained to Qinglan: "How can the palace take care of me now." β
"What's wrong?"
After asking, I want to smoke myself again, Shu Qinglan, do you have a low IQ when you get up early?
"Zhuo'er," Thirteen thought of the soft meat dumpling, and his eyes suddenly became hot, "The name that my father gave him, I was on the side at the time, and I chose that word for him, called Li Fanzhi." β
Li Fanzhi, Qinglan recited silently in her heart a few times, the emperor is really well-intentioned.
Qinglan didn't say anything, just quietly listened to Thirteen.
"Heh, it's very rare to find people, and I laugh when I see it." 13. Quickly wipe off the water stains that have slipped off the wings of your nose.
"I've been to see him three times, and it's fine, every day I either eat or sleep, or cry loudly." Thirteen suddenly showed a very painful expression, "What a frailty, such a good child, how can he be frail!" β
Qinglan patted Thirteen's arm, "What do the Imperial Doctors say?" β
Thirteen sneered: "I can't tell why." β
"Is there something wrong with the nurse?" Qinglan remembered the classic scenes in those palace fighting dramas.
Thirteen shook his head, "It's always the sister-in-law who feeds herself." "It's not at all in the hands of anyone else.
"Your eldest brother has other women, right?" Qinglan's eyes burned with the blazing flame of gossip.
"They can't get in." What are you kidding, the women who were selected into the eldest brother's mansion are all from famous families, high-ranking officials, and they have a few heads, which is a big crime of robbing the family and destroying the nine clans!
"That's... Is it a poisonous insect or something? Qinglan continued to speculate in an abnormal way.
"Don't talk about poisonous insects, you can't get into it with more breath."
"Stuffy..."Dead? The last two words, Qinglan didn't dare to pronounce.
Thirteen glanced at her speechlessly.
"You can't do it for no reason!" Qinglan glared.
Thirteen sighed, "Even my father can't find out." β
Even the emperor can't find out, it's really tricky. But...
"Are you sure your father really can't find out?" It's no wonder that Qinglan is skeptical, the emperor, there are still things that the emperor can't find out?
"What do you mean?"
"Perhaps...... He found out, but he doesn't want you to know. "Since ancient times, it has been difficult to fathom the heart of the emperor.
"That's his own grandson!" Thirteen changed faces.
Qinglan hurriedly changed the topic, "Could it be that someone sprinkled some incense on your body, you don't know it yourself, but it is very harmful to mix together?" After all, children have poor resistance..."
Thirteen glanced at her, "You've read too much of the book." "Why don't you write a book with Qu Wanying.
"Could it be ......" Qinglan tentatively uttered a syllable, "Gu?" β
Thirteen's face changed greatly, obviously, this is a very taboo word for the royal family, "Are you tired of being crooked?" β
These words are completely grinded out by gritting teeth.
Qinglan pursed her mouth, this is too bizarre, suddenly, she thought of someone again.
"Your niece," Qing Lan did not dare to underestimate the destructive power of the children, especially the royal children, "have you seen your niece?" β
"What can she do as a child?" Thirteen was finally annoyed by Qinglan's unreliable speculation.
"That's a lot!" Not to be outdone, Qinglan roared back, "After your sister-in-law is pregnant, will you spend less time with her?" Who usually takes her? β
Thirteen couldn't answer.
"Your nephew, what kind of state was she in when she was there?" Qinglan took advantage of the victory to pursue.
Thirteen couldn't remember.
"Check it out, especially the people around her." Qinglan firmly believes that what she has done will always leave clues.
"She's my eldest brother's only child." Thirteen didn't know what he remembered.
"Your eldest brother will have other children." Qinglan's pertinent reminder.
