Chapter 293: Cannon bombards foreigners
Yu Shu called Guiliu to "take care" of Xue Rui, and left the Wangji Building without waiting for him to wake up, without hiring a sedan chair on the street, she saw that the sky was still bright, so she walked home, and deliberately took a detour in front of Jifu Gate halfway.
In just a few days, the right judgment mansion has lost its scenery, the vermilion gate is tightly closed, the dust in front of the door is not swept, and the guard yard guarding the door has long since disappeared.
Yu Shu, the other people in this house, didn't care, but there was an Aunt Cui who made her feel at ease, of course, the people of the Ji family learned that she "sent" Ji Huaishan and Ji Xingxuan to prison, and they would definitely not treat her mother well, two days ago, Yu Shu calculated a few hexagrams for Aunt Cui, and knew that she was having a hard time in the Ji family now, but there was no big disaster.
Yu Shu is still quite relieved about Aunt Cui's safety, the Ji family is now on the cusp, how many people are staring, and they are angry with Aunt Cui, at most, they will lock her up and starve for a few days, and they will not dare to cause trouble.
After passing through this place, Yu Shu didn't plan to go in to visit Aunt Cui, and the Ji family wouldn't let her in, and secondly, she didn't want the Ji family to feel how much she cared about this biological mother who had abandoned their sister and brother, so she had to let Aunt Cui suffer a little first, and wait for the Ji family to collapse this time, and then she would find a way to get her out.
While having dinner at Wangji Building this afternoon, Yu Shu heard from Xue Rui that the trial of Dali Temple and Si Tianjian on the double charges of Ji Huaishan's murder of the imperial family and favoritism and malpractice for personal gain was held in the past few days. At that time, she and Jingchen will go to court to testify and identify the ancestors and grandchildren of the Ji family.
A yellow frost stone cannot prove that Ji Huaishan's thieves who conspired to kill Jing Chen colluded, but after investigating the exam papers of this year's astrological subject, coupled with her and Jing Chen's testimony, Ji Huaishan's charges of stealing questions and cheating in Ji Xingxuan's exam are gone.
According to the laws of the An Dynasty and the regulations of the Dayan Examination, once convicted, Ji Huaishan would not only be stripped of his official position, but also be punished with a hundred lashes, demoted to a commoner and sent to Tongzhou to repent.
As for Ji Xingxuan, in addition to the punishment, he will also be stripped of his qualifications for the Dayan Entrance Examination, and will be imprisoned for fifteen months and will not be allowed to enter the examination room again for the rest of his life.
Yu Shu had been to Dali Temple two days ago and just knew that if the ancestors and grandchildren of the Ji family were convicted, they would be sentenced like this, which was more serious than she imagined.
In this regard, Yu Shu did not feel sympathy, in her opinion, Ji Huaishan and Ji Xingxuan are purely self-inflicted, since they dare to steal questions for personal gain, don't be afraid of being arrested, don't be afraid of being caught, don't be afraid of being hurt if they dare to harm others, if they are afraid, then simply don't do it in the first place.
As a human being in two lives, Yu Shu sees the truth very clearly, things in this world are always reported and reported, and who can escape.
Just as she made black money with a clear conscience in her previous life, she indirectly harmed many people to the point where she didn't die at the end of the day, but paid them all back.
Yu Shu glanced at the word Jifu on the plaque on the gate again, and left expressionlessly.
Not long after she walked, a carriage stopped outside the gate of Jifu, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy jumped out of the car, looked up and recognized the door plaque, saw that the door was closed, his face showed puzzlement, and he walked up the steps and knocked on the door-
"Anyone?"
Yu Shu returned home, Yu Xiaoxiu had already left school and was talking to Zhao Hui in the upper room, Yu Shu pushed the curtain in, Yu Xiaoxiu stood up as soon as he saw her, and said excitedly:
"Sister, I heard Aunt Hui say, in the morning, Brother Jing came and the big officials in the palace recited the holy decree and rewarded us with a lot of good things."
Yu Shu smiled, reached out and touched his head, after the New Year, Yu Xiaoxiu seemed to have grown a little taller, originally only up to her shoulders, but now it was almost to her chin.
She didn't tell Zhao Hui and his wife about the situation of the Ji family and Yu Xiaoxiu in detail, they only knew that she was in the hospital that day because of Jingchen, so she was arrested and interrogated by Si Tianjian's people, and they didn't know the current situation of the Ji family, nor did they know the situation of Aunt Cui.
Yu Shu went to the Ji family to live temporarily, and the excuse for them was to take care of Aunt Cui's body, but now he moved back, only saying that Aunt Cui's illness was cured, and did not mention that the Ji family was in prison.
Before the Dali Temple case is over, she does not plan to tell them the truth, so as not to worry them.
Yu Shu walked over and sat down next to Zhao Hui, seeing that she looked fine, and she was not tired from being busy in the morning, so she relaxed and asked her, "What about Godfather?"
Zhao Hui covered her mouth and smiled, "I went to your uncle to report the good news, you didn't see the plaque of the imperial gift, but I couldn't find him in the north, and I was diagnosed with pregnancy, and I didn't see him so happy."
Yu Shu can also understand He Fangzhi's mood, as a native of ancient times, the concept of the supremacy of imperial power is deep-rooted, and when it comes to the Son of Heaven on weekdays, he must raise his hand and be very respectful.
"In two days, I will pick a good day, let my godfather hang up the golden plaque, put a few strings of firecrackers on the street, invite people to come to the lion dance, and have a good lively and hot lot." Yu Shu said.
"That's what he said before leaving, I want you to come back and choose a date," Zhao Hui nodded, and then took Yu Shu's hand to discuss: "Xiao Yu, I thought, this time the palace has given you a lot of rewards, our family has no other relatives in the capital, so we have close contacts with your uncle's family, and we rely on him to take care of it on weekdays, so why don't you send him a copy of the cloth and satin made in the palace, so that he can follow the luxury, and send another one to your mother, so that she is also happy, what do you say?"
Yu Shu said: "You can call the shots about these things, pick some good ones to send to your uncle, and you don't have to worry about my mother's side, I will send her some money directly when I turn around, she likes it more." You can see which ones are suitable for this weather to make clothes, and take them out and use them, don't save them, because they will not produce gold if they are placed there. ”
Zhao Hui pursed her lips and smiled, patted her hand and said, "You can't give birth to gold, but you can make a dowry for you."
Yu Shu didn't know how to answer, so he had to laugh twice, turned his head and asked Yu Xiaoxiu, "Have you finished today's homework?"
Yu Xiaoxiu scratched his head, "Not yet." ”
Yu Shu waved his hand: "Go do your homework first, and then play."
"Oh," Yu Xiaoxiu stood up obediently, walked to the door and turned around, and said to Yu Shu hesitantly: "Sister, when I get out of school today, then Xue Wenzhe has to follow me home, he thinks we live in the Ji family."
Yu Shu asked, "Then why didn't anyone come back with you?"
Yu Xiaoxiu pouted and said, "I told him that we are not from the Ji family for a long time, and let him inquire about the way to the Right Judgment Mansion by himself."
Yu Shu frowned, Xue Wenzhe wants to find the Ji family, he will definitely hear about Ji Huaishan and Ji Xingxuan's imprisonment, he is now going to school with Yu Xiaoxiu, and if he can't keep it, it will reach Yu Xiaoxiu's ears, so Yu Xiaoxiu will definitely worry about Aunt Cui who is in the Ji family, and she wants to visit the Ji family, how can this be good?
This little white face who has suffered from the plague will not come sooner or later, and when he comes, he will stick to Ji Xingxuan like a stinky fly, and he wants to make trouble for her, which is really annoying.
Yu Shu scolded Xue Wenzhe a few words in his heart, thought about it, stood up and said to Yu Xiaoxiu: "Let's go, go back to Sister Fang and take a look at your new textbook."
Yu Shu and Zhao Hui greeted each other, then pulled Yu Xiaoxiu away, went to his room, closed the door, and turned to Yu Xiaoxiu:
"Xiao Xiu, sister will tell you something."
Instead of letting him hear about it from Xue Wenzhe and running to Ji's house quietly, it would be better for her to give him a vaccination first.
Yu Shu roughly told Yu Xiaoxiu about the Ji family, as she expected, Yu Xiaoxiu was really anxious about Aunt Cui's situation, for fear that they would be angry with his mother, Yu Shu repeatedly assured him that Aunt Cui would not have an accident, and promised to pick up Aunt Cui as soon as the case in Dali Temple was over, so he dispelled his idea of going to the Ji family to see people now.
Yu Shu was not at ease, and told Yu Xiaoxiu to see Xue Wenzhe in the academy in the future, and stay away from that kid, because she used the law of disaster yesterday to calculate that Yu Xiaoxiu would have a verbal fight with someone in two days, and this small disaster must have been caused by Xue Wenzhe, that kid is obsessed with Ji Xingxuan, you must know that Lu Dao is the one who harmed his sweetheart in prison, and he will definitely be in trouble, and if he can't find her, he may find trouble with Yu Xiaoxiu.
Because of worrying about Aunt Cui, Yu Xiaoxiu had no intention of doing homework, sitting at the desk and fiddling with the brush, Yu Shu in order to make him happy, he took out the abacus to teach him to play "cannon bombardment foreigners", a kind of two-person puzzle game, the beads on the abacus are separated by a beam into two parts, one person guards one side, displaces each string of beads up and down, and takes the way of retreating one into one and knocking one out, and the first to knock back all the other party's beads is to win.
"What is a cannon?" Yu Xiaoxiu asked.
Yu Shu touched his chin, "It's just a weapon, similar to firecrackers, a little fire will 'boom, a sound, can blow up a house." ”
"So powerful" Yu Xiaoxiu closed his mouth in surprise, and then said with a suspicious expression: "Why haven't I heard of it, you are lying, right?"
Yu Shu said vaguely: "Who knows, I haven't seen it either."
"What is the sheep man, is he the sheep herder?"
"Uh, ̈. It's a foreigner," Yu Shu was short of words, and just remembered that there was no such thing as a "foreigner" at this time, so he turned around and explained: "I heard that there is a group of yellow-haired and blue-eyed people living in Da'an far, far away to the west, who are tall and big, because they need to cross the ocean from us to them, so they are called foreigners."
"Ah, yellow hair? Blue eyes? Isn't that a youkai?" Yu Xiaoxiu's expression was a little scared.
Yu Shu waved his hand and said: "What kind of monsters, there are Hu people living in Anling City, haven't you seen it last time you ate in a restaurant, aren't their eyes yellow and green, and what is so strange about blue."
"But aren't they yellow-haired?" Yu Xiaoxiu said stubbornly.
Yu Xiaoxiu's questions were one after another, and Yu Shu patted the abacus impatiently: "Do you play or not?" If you don't play, hurry up and write your homework. ”
Yu Xiaoxiu immediately shut up and nodded vigorously, but he still wondered in his heart - since foreigners are not monsters, why should they use that cannon to hit them?
