Shen Yueran originally thought that this was her first New Year with Lu Su and she might not be able to cope with it, but Wei Yi brought Yao Jinqian over from time to time and helped them a lot.

Even the roof beam clutter that gave her a headache before became a piece of cake in front of Wei Yi.

She saw that Wei Yi was as light as a swallow and could go up and down freely, so she had an idea, made a few bats with red brocade, and made a few knots with red silk thread, and after handing them to him, he hung them on the beam one by one.

Between opening and closing, the red bats with long red hooves swayed slightly in the air, adding a bit of New Year's flavor to the hut.

Wei Yi saw that this thing was festive and opened his mouth to come.

It is rare for Lord Wei to speak, and of course Shen Yueran will not refuse.

She thought for a while and said, "This thing is just a whim, it's a little rough, it's better to wait a few more days for the son, and the folk girl will dare to get it after a little modification." ”

Wei Yi nodded and said no more.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Shen Yueran sat in front of the charcoal fire with Lu Su in her arms, and the two sisters remembered everything in the year while cutting window flowers.

Shen Yueran cut off the sheep's head, pig's head, cow's head, chicken's head, duck's head, and rabbit's head, and burned them all after worshipping them one by one.

Lu Su knew that she was worshipping Shen Minggong, and she also accompanied her to cut a few gold ingots and burn them together.

Shen Yueran watched the red paper-cut gradually turn into ashes in the fiery charcoal fire, and Shen Minggong's old and gray appearance before his death appeared in front of her.

She lowered her eyes.

How nice it would be if he was still alive......

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Bianjing Mansion reopened its doors, and Wei Yi resumed his duties and did not go to the suburbs of Beijing again.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Yueran and Lu Su set off a cannon battle to break five, and on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the cake shop reopened.

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the smell of the New Year had not yet dispersed, and Yao Jinqian drove the carriage to find the two who were busy in the cake shop.

"Miss Shen, close the cake shop and go to Bianjing Mansion with the small one." Yao Jinqian didn't say a word, and asked Shen Yueran to get into the carriage.

Shen Yueran saw that he was alone, and couldn't help but wonder, "What about Lord Wei?" ”

Yao Jinqian slapped his head and took out a golden token, "Well, this is the master's token, and the master asked the little one to pick up Miss Shen, and he talked about it on the way." ”

Shen Yueran saw that he looked hurried, and held the token again, knowing that something was wrong, she told Lu Su to take care of the cake shop and get into the carriage.

Along the way, Yao Jinqian drove and told the story intermittently.

It turned out that Yingtianfu, which is separated from the capital by a river, has a king with the same surname who is more than half a hundred years old, named Li Zhao. A few years ago, Li Zhao ordered a gold leaf bowl from Jin Mantang, and Jin Mantang promised to send it to the house on the eighth day of the first month. On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Li Zhao got the gold leaf bowl as promised, but found that the gold bowl was not in good condition. He rushed to Bianjing Mansion with the golden bowl and asked the old corrector Fang Weizhong to verify it on the spot. Fu Yin Zhao Xianyang didn't dare to disobey, and invited Fang Weizhong, who was already at home. Who knows, Fang Correction really tested on the spot that iridium was added to the gold leaf bowl.

Li Zhao was furious and accused Jin Mantang of shoddy. Zhao Xianyang summoned Zhou Lian'an, but Zhou Lian'an had long suspected that Jin Mantang had internal ghosts, secretly colluded with others, and manipulated the finished product to make profits. This just made the ghost manifest. According to Zhou Lian'an's accusations, Zhao Xianyang arrested Bai Shigang, the housekeeper of the Zhou family, who took out the gold leaf bowl from the vault, Shen Rihui, a Jinmantang miller who delivered the gold leaf bowl to the wharf, and Zhao Anyang, a shipwright who delivered the gold leaf bowl to the palace.

Wei Yi was not in charge of this matter, and when he went out today, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Wu Zhaorong standing outside the palace gate. He once saw her in Wenchi County Ya and recognized her as Shen Yueran's sister-in-law. He thought about it, and when he went back to inquire, he found out that one of the suspects, Shen Rihui, was Shen Yueran's brother. He walked into the cell to understand the situation and saw Shen Rihui who was unconscious. He woke up Shen Rihui, only to listen to Shen Rihui's dying nonsense, before he died, he must see his sister Yueran. So, he immediately ordered Yao Jinqian to go to the outskirts of Beijing to pick up Shen Yueran.

After listening to this, Shen Yueran's heart was entangled.

Shen Rihui is honest by nature, he is safe and self-serving, and he is by no means a person who revolts when he sees wealth, not to mention, he has always been jealous of Wu Zhaorong, this job in Jinmantang was found by Wu Zhaoyan, even if he is confused, he will not dare to do anything in Jinmantang.

She believed that there must be some misunderstanding in between!

However, she believes that what is the use, the key is Lord Fu Yin.

She was indignant, "Didn't Lord Zhao suspect that there was something wrong with Jin Mantang's gold leaf bowl?" Why was it found that the color was insufficient, not to say that there was a problem with the bowl, but to say that there was a problem with the person? ”

Yao Jinqian said, "These small ones are not clear, and the government has no conclusion now, but they keep arraignment." ”

Seeing that Shen Yueran was anxious, he added, "Oh, look at the little patron who has to talk about the case, but he forgot the master's words." The master said that Brother Shen was safe for the time being, and Miss Shen should not panic. ”

Shen Yueran was a little relieved at this time.

Everything she wanted to know could only be known when she went to Bianjing Mansion.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at Bianjing Mansion, and Yao Jinqian asked Shen Yueran to wait in the back alley. After a while, Wei Yi strode over.

"Lu Jinqian can tell me the case?" didn't have time to say hello, Wei Yi came up and asked.

Shen Yueran said, "I said it, but the folk girl wants to hear what her brother has to say." How is my brother now, can you let the folk girl meet? ”

She is most concerned about Shen Rihui's safety.

Wei Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, but your eldest brother is not suspicious, and there must be others present during the meeting, do you mind?" ”

Shen Yueran said repeatedly, "Don't mind, don't mind, Minnu just wants to make sure that her brother is fine, and she won't have anything else to think about." ”

Wei Yi nodded, led the way in front, and Shen Yueran lowered his head and followed him all the way.

She was no stranger to the prison of the mansion, and when she arrived at the door of the prison, Wei Yi stood again.

"This case was taken over by Lord Zhao, and it is not within the scope of my duties. Now I can just take you to take a look, but it can't influence the trial of this case, you may understand? He asked.

Shen Yueran raised her eyes to look at him, as calm and calm as ever, but there was more concern in her eyes.

Her heart fluttered for no apparent reason.

He is a four-rank master who is busy with official business, and he is not in his position, so he can completely turn a blind eye to this case.

He not only sent Yao Jinqian to pick her up in the suburbs of Beijing, but also deliberately brought words to comfort her.

He agreed to take her to see Shen Rihui, which was already benevolent and righteous, but he cared about her feelings again and again.

Heβ€”

Shen Yueran turned her face slightly, and bowed, "The folk girl believes that her brother is innocent, and she can also understand Lord Wei's difficulties." The folk girl believes that there will be an explanation for this case, and now she only wants to see her brother. ”

Wei Yi nodded again, summoned two servants, and led Shen Yueran into the cell.

The eerie prison was as she remembered, and when she found Shen Rihui, who had a blue nose and swollen face, in a ragged patch, she couldn't help but cry like rain. (To be continued.) )
