Chapter Ninety-Nine: Counting
The carriage of the Shen family walked away, and the porter came to pass the word, and Yao Yiwen's little servant hurriedly stepped forward.
After a while, the little guy came back and said, "Master, let us in." ”
It turned out that the guests at home were the Shen family.
When did he have to wait for the Shen family to leave before he could enter the door of the Yao family, when he was on leave for the Shen family before, the second old lady was looking for someone to persuade him, but the entire second room had no contact with the Shen family, why didn't he see the eldest brother for a year, and the eldest brother was so close to Shen Jingyuan.
Yao Yiwen thought about taking his subordinates into the hall.
Yao Yizhou was talking to the steward, and when he saw Yao Yiwen, he waved his hand, and the steward hurriedly retreated.
"Big brother," Yao Yiwen spoke first, "are you still used to it in Beijing these days?" ”
When the second uncle was there, the two of them were very close, they were together during the New Year's holidays, laughing and playing together, the eldest brother was the only son of the second uncle, so he really treated them as his own brothers, and in a blink of an eye, everyone grew up and started their own families, but he also thought that each other would be like this.
Yao Yizhou said: "It's all fine." ”
The two brothers sat for a while, and Yao Yiwen mentioned Yao Yichun, "The sixth brother is sick and thin, I asked people to bring some medicine in, and I don't know when this case will be tried." ”
The servants came up and served refreshments, and then they went back one after another.
Yao Yizhou raised his eyes, "Before the sixth child had an accident, I told him that he couldn't do anything illegal, but he didn't listen and had to resell the grain." You don't know how many years our Yao family has been the grain chief, but now the reputation is in vain, what is the grain chief of Taixing County. The third uncle and Zhu Yingnian exchanged the position of grain chief to the sixth brother. ”
Yao Yizhou said and picked up the document next to him and slapped it on the table, "This is the document made by the sixth brother when he was the chief of grain, no matter what happens in the future, it has nothing to do with the Yao family." ”
Yao Yiwen was silent for a long time, "What's going on with Li Yushi's family, how did Li Yushi's illness be cured by Wanning?" ”
Yao Yizhou sneered, "Then you have to ask the third uncle, was it because the sixth brother was greedy for grain?" If you want Li Yushi to raise your hand, don't embarrass the Yao family. Wan Ning cured Mrs. Li, and the third uncle and sixth brother figured out that Gu Wan Ning inquired about the news of the Li family, do you say this should be done? ”
"Because of such a thing, Wanning will be expelled from the Yao family. Don't say that I, as the patriarch, don't agree, the elders of the clan won't nod," Yao Yizhou frowned, "As for the matter of the sixth brother." Don't try to make a big deal of it in front of me. I don't have an official position and I know that these things have to wait for the court to decide, and it is not up to you and me to decide who is right or wrong. ”
Yao Yiwen didn't expect his eldest brother to seal his mouth like this.
After Yao Yizhou finished speaking, he looked at Yao Yiwen, "Could it be that the sixth brother resells grain, and Zhu Yingnian's greed for grain is related to you?" ”
Yao Yiwen's face suddenly became ugly, and he suddenly stood up from his chair, "I have never done anything to be greedy for ink for so many years as an official, let alone greedy for ink and food." ”
"That's good." Yao Yizhou said lightly, "I don't want to watch the entire Yao family being pulled into the water." After all, our Yao family is a big family in Taixing County, and we have been the chief of grain, so I am in charge of the grain matter, you don't have to persuade ......"
These words came out, as if he had a falling out with the clan because he wanted to protect the sixth brother.
Yao Yizhou said: "Our Yao family has been in Taixing for so many years, and finally came out with a six-department official, do you remember how lively Taixing County was when you were a high school jinshi, everyone said that you earned face for Taixing County, but how many candidates who have taken the Taixing exam over the years do not come to your home to visit?" ”
"Our family didn't do any good deeds in Taixing, but they resold the grain, what is the grain? The tax grain sent by the people, how can our Yao family collude with corrupt officials to exploit the people. ”
"Let me ask you, what did you say to me when you came to Beijing to take up your post?" Yao Yizhou stiffened his face, "I said that I will definitely be a clean official in the future, even if I won't go down in history, I can't be scolded." ”
"When my father was alive, why did he take out the plate even if he made the clansmen hungry and let the third uncle and you go to catch the exam?"
"That's because my father said that although you haven't talked much since you were a child, you are a good official, and you will definitely be a good official if you become an official in the future," Yao Yizhou said, "Tell me, did my father say anything wrong." ”
At that time, his uncle said such things, he only felt that there was light on his face when he heard it, Yao Yiwen thought of this, his face turned red, but he didn't expect that after many years, hearing such words again made him feel embarrassed.
was impeached by Yushi, looked down on by Li Yushi, and now the eldest brother scolds him every ......
"I thought that when I entered Beijing, you could tell which was right and which was wrong, and immediately make a decision, the Yao family was right and wrong, and never favored anyone, so that it would be worthy of the Yao family's reputation in Taixing, who knew that you were a fool."
Yao Yizhou's eyes widened, "It's a shame that you said such big things in front of me back then." ”
……
The more Yao Yizhou said, the louder he became, "Back then, you said that it was for the sake of the Yao family's face, and that the Shen family and Shen Jingyuan colluded to lose your official reputation, and now I ask you, what kind of face did the Shen family make you lose?" Can you be impeached by the imperial history? ”
Speaking of this, Yao Yiwen was stunned.
I didn't expect the eldest brother to mention the Shen family at this time, did Shen Jingyuan say something.
Yao Yiwen frowned and said negatively: "Big brother, don't say anything about the Shen family, the Shen family did something like that, you can't blame me for not being able to tolerate her......" At the beginning, he also interceded for the Shen family in front of his father, if it was just because of the agarwood mother and son, he would not have nodd, it was really the Shen family who was too bold and reckless, if it wasn't for the father who found out earlier, the entire Yao family would have been implicated.
Because of this, he owes He Mingdao a favor to Zuo Chunfang, but fortunately, He Mingdao has a relationship with the Zhang family, so he didn't worry about that incident.
Yao Yiwen was thinking.
"What if the Shen family did the reselling of grain?"
A clear voice came from outside the door.
"The matter of the sixth uncle is on the Shen family, if my biological mother has not been divorced now, my father will still feel that the Shen family is excusable, even if he is impeached by the imperial history, will his father speak for the Shen family?"
"Father felt that the crime of reselling grain was insignificant," Wan Ning paused deliberately when she said this, "It doesn't matter if the court law is still the law, my father has a scale in his heart." ”
The subordinate lifted the curtain, and Wan Ning stepped in.
Yao Yiwen's face suddenly turned pale.
The eldest daughter, who had not been seen for a long time, stood there, looking at him with a pair of clear eyes, and there was no longer the dependence on him in the past, but a deep question.
Over the years, he often remembered Wanning's appearance when he was a child, but he never thought that Wanning would stand in front of him like this one day, Wanning has grown up in four years, and her appearance has changed slightly, which is within his expectations, what he didn't expect is that what he didn't expect was that what changed the most was Wanning's expression.
When I was a child, I was often tired of being by his side, and my little hand held him and shouted "Daddy", but now my eyes are full of alienation.
"My father didn't see me, so he sent me to the family nunnery, just like four years ago, my father threw the sin of my mother's premature birth on me, and my father saw me push my mother with his own eyes? Did my father carefully interrogate his subordinates, where are the people who saw me pushing my mother that day? Has it already been sent out of the Yao family? ”
Wan Ning looked at her father, "Father thought I didn't want to go home? I can't figure this out, I can't go back, and if I go back, I'll be charged with a huge crime, and sooner or later I'll be sent to the family nunnery, and when it really comes, who will be able to shelter me? ”
"Is it the father? Or mother? Who will say a good word for me? ”
There was a complicated look on my father's face.
She just wants to make the past clear and let her father see it.
The pain of a person who has been kept in the dark never knows the truth.
Hasn't my father been learning from my grandfather's sanctimonious demeanor and not eating the fireworks of the world, but now how can he look at her with a complicated expression.
Now my grandfather and father still have a position to say that they are innocent.
Since she went to Taixing, the Zhang family must have lived very comfortably, and I heard that her father thought about sending her to the family nunnery when she came to Beijing.
Now they should know that the day has come when everything will not go well.

If it doesn't go well, I have to continue to change it, and I will change it tomorrow. (To be continued......)
