Asking for a ticket~~~~~

Chu Weilin lowered her eyes, and her gaze fell on the hairpin again.

The craft of making tired silk hairpins, many gold and stone shops have, but to make this butterfly vivid, it must be a veteran master, and then look at the southern pearl, not only round, but also bright and moist, ordinary shops will not have such inventory, and only large shops will have, or the guests themselves prepared.

Da Zhao's preparation of a dowry for Chang Yuying, what is good and expensive to choose, although it is built in the shop in the capital, but this style and craftsmanship are not lost to the shop in the old capital.

Mrs. Song came to ask her specially, not to listen to a sentence such as "This thing can't be made in the shop in Yuzhou", but she was a little sure that this hairpin has something to do with Changfu.

Ming people don't say secret words, Mrs. Song has the intention to do this, Chu Weilin doesn't want to go around in circles, and asks bluntly: "Don't hide it from Mrs. Song, I did see such a butterfly hairpin before, but I only saw it at that time, and it was a long time, so I dare not assert that this is the one I saw at the beginning." ”

Mrs. Song nodded with a smile, it is reasonable for Chu Weilin not to say that she will die, no matter which family it is, there will be some things that are difficult to be humane to outsiders.

"That Chen Yuan has some assets in Yuzhou, and his shot is generous, but it is only in Yuzhou, as far as I know, such a hairpin should not appear in the Chen family. Our lord is still a little careful in handling the case, since the aunt said so. The case was not closed directly, but carefully investigated. When Mrs. Song said this, her voice became softer and softer, and she almost wanted to say to Chu Weilin, "The tickets of the integrated village, although they recognize the votes and do not recognize the people, but when the Zhuangzi issued the tickets, there were numbered records, and the branch of the integrated Zhuang in Yuzhou checked it and said that these tickets were issued by the capital. It's your Changfu's ticket. ”

So to speak. Chu Weilin understood.

There are a lot of money villages in this dynasty, and there are dozens of big money villages all over the country, almost all of them have some background, and the integrated village is one of Qiao Chu. It is also a money bank that has been recognized by the imperial court. The eunuch's house deposits and issues tickets. They tend to be frequented by integrated dealers.

There are semicolons everywhere, and when taking money, it is natural to recognize votes and not people, but for the sake of management and prudence. No matter which money bank, there will be a number on the ticket, which will be clearly written on the book, when, which semicolon, who saved how much money, and similarly, there is also a record when withdrawing money.

The tickets taken away by Chang Yuying naturally exist in the name of Chang Fu in the village.

When Chang Yuye's brothers were looking for Chang Yuying, they also went to Chengzhuang to ask, but Chang Yuying had not taken out the cash, so he couldn't find anyone.

And now, the tickets belonging to Changfu have appeared in the hands of the Chen family in Yuzhou, but it is obviously impossible for this Chen to have anything to do with Changfu.

Lord Song felt that this matter was not simple, and it involved the magnates in the capital, so he didn't dare to handle the case indiscriminately, so he wanted to take the opportunity to return to Beijing at the end of his term of office to visit Changfu, but he didn't want to, and met the Chang family at the ferry.

is related to Chang Yuying's whereabouts, even if the old ancestor is so angry that he only thinks that this granddaughter is dead, Chu Weilin can't pretend that he hasn't heard of it.

And Mrs. Song threw an olive branch first, Chu Weilin became more and more unblind, and she also whispered to Mrs. Song: "Chengzhuang said that it is our family's ticket, so it shouldn't be wrong." I am a backyard woman, whether the men in the house have dealings with Yuzhou, I really don't know, and I don't know how this ticket got into Chen Yuanwai's hands.

However, since this case has some connection with our Changfu, we always have to find out.

If the aunt falsely accused, Chen Yuanwai's silver ticket came from a clean line, then Chen Yuanwai must be given justice, and if there is indeed a problem, it is necessary to understand the ins and outs, so that Lord Song and the successor of the prefect of Yuzhou can successfully close the case. ”

When Mrs. Song heard this, she was grateful, held Chu Weilin's hand, and said: "I brazenly praise our master, although the master's ability to read and make articles is average, but when it comes to the ability of either parent's official, I think it's very good." Mrs. Song's face turned red, as if she was a little embarrassed, "In Yuzhou over the years, not to mention, the people have recognized him quite well, and the large and small cases in his hands are also carefully investigated, so as to ensure that there are no unjust and wrongful convictions." This time when he returned to Beijing at the end of his term, the case dragged on there, and the lord was also a little uneasy, it is said that this hairpin is evidence and should not be brought back to the capital......

But if the case can be successfully concluded, it will also be a beautiful thing. ”

Chu Weilin could see that Mrs. Song admired and respected her husband very much, so she would make such a remark, besides, if this matter can be resolved, first, the case can be closed, and secondly, she will be able to connect with Changfu, if there is anything in the future, she will have a familiar face.

It is true that the hairpin is a witness, but if there is no hairpin, they will hand over a post to the Changfu at that time, and they may not be able to meet the person in charge of the house smoothly, let alone after seeing it, they will have to say convincing words with just one mouth.

Chu Weilin was not disgusted with such careful thinking, but felt that Mrs. Song's heart was moving, and it was actually a good thing for husband and wife to get along and see each other's strengths.

She took Mrs. Song's words and said, "I went out of Beijing this time to follow our lord to take office." My father and I both grew up in the capital, and we have never traveled far, this time I went to Jiangnan, to be honest, I was a little apprehensive. It's not something else, it's a parent official, it's not as simple as it says, it's really to do things for the people in a down-to-earth manner, I don't know if our father does it well. Lord Song is so good, and it can't be separated from Mrs. Song's contributions, if there is a chance in the future, I hope that Mrs. Song will give me more guidance, so that I must not drag our father back. ”

Mrs. Song was a little flattered when she heard this.

She has heard many people say that many of the children of officials and eunuchs who grew up in the capital are above the top, because of their extraordinary backgrounds, even if they are also official wives, they have many comparisons and dislikes.

She and Lord Song have very average backgrounds, there is no deep family background to rely on, and Lord Song can achieve the position of the prefect, which is already the top in the eyes of many people. may be the fate of the official fortune, and Lord Song can be promoted again, but their husbands and wives understand in their hearts that they are different from those children of families who are not ordinary by birth.

And today's conversation with Chu Weilin, she did not receive any contempt at all, and the other party's words were very respectful, which made Mrs. Song a little surprised, she hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be instructed." If there is something that can help. The fifth grandmother just spoke to me. ”

After a very happy conversation, Mrs. Song turned her head and instructed Liu He, "Go and talk to the master and ask him to write a letter." Let the fifth grandmother bring Zhu to the book. ”

Liu He answered. Mrs. Song explained to Chu Weilin again: "Master Zhu has been friends with our master for many years. This time he stayed in Yuzhou, and the fifth grandmother could take the letter to him to find out the case. ”

Chu Weilin thanked her.

It didn't take long. Liu He returned with the letter.

Chu Weilin asked Bao Hibiscus to put it away, and thanked her again.

Liuyu came to pass the word, saying that the passenger ship was ready and ready to board at any time, and Chu Weilin got up to say goodbye to Mrs. Song.

Mrs. Song and Miss Song sent Chu Weilin out.

Chu Weilin said with a smile: "Our lord went to Jinzhou to take up his post, and after Lord Song returned to Beijing to report on his work and set a new appointment, he asked his wife to write to me." ”

Mrs. Song agreed.

Chu Weilin came out of the curtain, the sun was lower outside, the sky was getting darker, and the ships on the water lit up with lanterns, which were reflected in the water, which was particularly bright.

Chang Yuyun stood not far away, beckoning to her with a smile.

Chu Weilin was stunned, this smile was even more beautiful than the light, so that she couldn't help but skip a beat, only to feel that her cheeks suddenly burned red.

Liuyu urged, and Chu Weilin stepped forward.

When she approached, Chang Yuyun asked her softly, "How is Mrs. Song?" ”

"I like Mrs. Song very much, we had a good conversation," Chu Weilin replied with a smile, and then asked, "What did you say to Lord Song?" ”

"I asked Master Song for some advice on how to be an official, which is very inspiring." Chang Yuyun replied.

Chang Yuxiao and Chang Yuming saw that everything was in order, so they walked over and said: "It's time to go, it's inconvenient to sail at night, while there is still some light, get out of the ferry and go down the river for a while." We're going to go back to Beijing too. ”

Chang Yuyun responded, took Chu Weilin's hand and went to the water's edge.

Chu Weilin remembered the letter that Bao Jin received, and hurriedly said: "Third uncle, fourth uncle, it's inconvenient to talk here, please come on the boat, there is something, I want to show you." ”

Chang Yuxiao and Chang Yuming were a little puzzled, and Chang Yuyun didn't know what was going on, but seeing Chu Weilin so cautious, he knew that she must be reasonable, so he said, "Then ask the third brother and fourth brother to board the boat." ”

The group boarded the ship.

The maids and ladies had a lot of things to do, so Chu Weilin found an empty cabin, invited them to sit down, and took out the hairpin from her sleeve.

"Do you recognize the third uncle?" Chu Weilin put the hairpin on the table, "This was given to me by Mrs. Song." ”

Chang Yuxiao touched his nose, there is such a thing as a jewelry head, he is a layman, Xu Shi put on a new head and walked around in front of him, he couldn't see it, Xu was still angry a few times ago, and then he didn't bother to be angry with him, but the hairpin in front of him, he always felt as if he had seen it somewhere.

Chang Yuming still had a clear mind and exclaimed: "Second sister's!" ”

Chang Yuxiao patted his head and remembered: "That's right, it's the second sister's thing, my mother is very satisfied with this hairpin, and Danniang also likes it very much, and I described it several times, it's a butterfly on top of a southern pearl." ”

Chang Yuyun frowned and asked, "Linlin, how could this hairpin be with Mrs. Song?" ”

Chu Weilin carefully explained the situation that Madame Song had told her, and asked Bao Jin to send a letter.

The letter was not sealed, but it was also so that everyone in Changfu could know what Lord Song had written, and the three of them circulated it, with a solemn expression.

"How could the second sister's silver ticket and hairpin be in the hands of that Chen Yuanwai, and what happened to the aunt of the Chen family?" Chang Yuming was a little impatient, and people who had no news just popped up, but there were such sporadic clues, which made people anxious.

Chang Yuxiao pondered for a while with a stiff face, and said to Chang Yuyun: "On the way to the old capital, you have to pass through Yuzhou, right?" ”

"Yes, according to the previous plan, I will not go ashore on this way, and only anchor in the old capital, but now it seems that I will stop in Yuzhou for a few days," Chang Yuyun calculated the distance, "Wait and tell the boatman, this road is faster, if you can sail at night, you will not stop, and you will rush to Yuzhou early." ”

"I'll go with you." Before the words fell, seeing that several people were looking at him in surprise, Chang Yuxiao sighed and said, "No matter what, Yu Ying is my own sister, if you don't go to her if you have a clue, your mother will blame me if she has a spirit in the sky." Fifth brother, you are going to take up your post, you can't delay too much on the way, the situation in Yuzhou is not clear, in case this investigation is ten days and half a month, you can't afford to wait. When the time comes, I will stay in Yuzhou, and you will not delay when you go south. ”

Chang Yuming pointed at himself, opened his mouth, and asked for a while: "What about me?" ”

"When you go back to the capital, someone must go back to report a message, the ancestor knows the situation, if you want to arrange more manpower, let's see it then." Chang Yuxiao said.

This arrangement is also reasonable, after all, it is such a major event, and it is not good to ask the people below to go back and spread the word, in case it is not clear, it will make Jingli worried.

Once you have made a plan, you will not delay.

Chang Yuming got off the boat and led the men and horses back to Beijing.

Chang Yuxiao went all the way to Yuzhou with the ship, and Chu Weilin arranged the cabin for him.

According to the previous discussion between Chu Weilin and Li De'an's family, they will live on the lower deck along the way, because the ship is large and there are many cabins, it will not be overstretched.

The passenger ship rented for the eunuchs is very particular, several large cabins are complete, bedrooms, halls and study rooms are available, and the small warehouse next door is allocated for the maids to live vigil.

The boat left shore and sailed all the way down the river.

Chu Weilin changed into comfortable clothes and came out, and asked Chang Yuyun, "Lord Song didn't mention the hairpin to you just now?" ”

"I didn't say a word, and the maid in the middle came in and asked him to write a letter, and I don't know why." After Chang Yuyun finished speaking, seeing that Chu Weilin was still a little strange, he couldn't help but smile and said, "They also know in their hearts that this must be a matter that we don't want to publicize, the hairpin is the best thing for you to give you, Lord Song is a man, I'm afraid it's not good to say this." ”

Chu Weilin can agree with this explanation.

In this era, men and women have a clear division of rights and responsibilities, and they disdain and are inconvenient to meddle in these matters related to the inner court, and they are all handled by women.

Chu Weilin sat down at the table, supported her cheeks and said, "Yuzhou, it's only five or six days to go here, it's not too far, I thought she would go to the south and the north." ”

"After all, it's a girl's family, she doesn't have a confidant by her side, and she has never gone out alone......" Speaking of Chang Yuying, Chang Yuyun shook his head again and again, "Even if someone cheats, it's not strange at all." (To be continued......)
