October 13th.

Capital.

Not far from Wendao Academy, a new study was opened, and the three words "from the heart" on the plaque flowed smoothly.

In the back hall of the study, Tao Wenjun put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk for Wang Zhen, picked up his essay and flipped through it, and said, "Are you giving Miqu a biography?" ”

"It's not a legacy." Wang Zhen shook his head and sighed: "That kid has always loved to listen to books in the teahouse, I wrote his deeds back to the storyteller, if he heard it, he would be happy." ”

Tao Wenjun also sighed. She didn't want her husband to be sad, so she changed the subject and asked, "This study will open tomorrow, right?" Do you like it? ”

Wang Zhen nodded and said with a smile: "I like it." ”

"The bento is a gift from the concubine and Tanxiang."

At this time, it is not wise to buy a house in the capital, but the husband and wife have been rich since they were children, and they don't have to think about whether it is wise to buy a study to play. Wang Zhen smiled and said: "I have a wife and concubine like this, what more can my husband ask for?" ”

Tao Wenjun glanced at him and said: "Originally, the Wen family was copied, but now it is sold by the household department, if you want to redeem it, I will tell my cousin that is, but you don't want it." ”

"Bujizhai has gained some fame and has become a money-making shop, so there is nothing fun to do." Wang Zhen picked up a book casually and said with a smile: "If I sell these books that he banned in the fasting that Scholar He praised, it will inevitably be too shameful to give people face." ”

The implication is that he actually looks down on He Liangyuan.

After many years of husband and wife, Tao Wenjun felt the hint of ridicule in his tone, and couldn't help but say angrily: "The scholar just banned some erotic scripts, and you are resentful." If you fiddle with these forbidden books, and then let people catch them again, I won't catch you. ”

"Resentful......" Wang Zhen muttered: "I have often heard this word in the past two days." ”

Tao Wenjun then said: "You spread those rumors on the street recently, right?" said that Xiao'er was originally demented, and he suddenly opened his mind after marrying Princess Chunning, saying that this was stained with royal blessings and the true dragon qi of the saint to protect his mind, and what he said that he and Chunning were destined to marry. ”

"Did you hear that, too?" Wang Zhen said: "It was indeed arranged by me. ”

"You've already been reprimanded, is it too late for you to slap the saint's sycophants again?"

Wang Zhen said: "Reprimand is just a precursor, tomorrow Xiao'er enters the palace to meet him is the danger." ”

"And are these rumors we arranged useful?" Tao Wenjun asked.

Wang Zhen shook his head: "The key to this matter is elsewhere, but as long as these rumors can slightly affect His Majesty's senses." ”

Tao Wenjun said softly: "It is arranged by the three of you brothers, and it is the plan of Miss Tang, I think tomorrow will be smooth and worry-free." ”

Wang Zhen sighed in her heart, but nodded with a smile on her face.

After a while, he heard the sound of talking in front of him, and Tao Wenjun smiled and said, "You have a business before it opens?" The concubine wishes her husband a prosperous business......"

~~

After Luo Yuan obtained two letters of accusation, he went through many verifications and ascertained the truth of what he said, and then he was ready to write an impeachment recital, but he made a mistake - there was no paper and ink.

Because of the preciousness of rice paper, the court actually allowed it to write folds on plain paper, but plain paper is also very expensive.

In the past, the shop on credit refused to give credit again, Luo Yuan passed by here with his head down, and when he looked up, he saw that this was quite elegant from the heart, so he entered the shop.

There was only one guy in the store who was sprinkling and sweeping, and Luo Yuan said: "Zi said, 'Seventy and do what you want, do not exceed the rules', from this point of view, the proprietor here should be an open-minded old gentleman." ”

The word 'old gentleman' came into his ears, and the guy was stunned.

Luo Yuan squeaked: "I want to buy some paper and ink, but I ...... Penniless. ”

The guy was stunned again.

"I wonder if you can get some paper and ink on credit?" Luo Yuan said: "I am an official, can I ...... When the money is paid, the money will be returned...... However, I don't know when it will be issued. ”

Before the guy could respond, Luo Yuan himself looked embarrassed and said, "I guess it must not work, right?" Got it. ”

"Sir, walk slowly." But another guy ran over from the back hall and saluted: "Dare to ask, but Luo Yushi is in front of you?" ”

"Do you recognize me?" Luo Yuan was surprised.

The guy said: "Lord Luo is the benefactor of the proprietor of my family, and the little one naturally recognizes it." ”

Luo Yuan was extremely surprised.

"That's right, the proprietor of my family had offended the Qingshuifang royal family earlier. The Wang family was going to wait for an opportunity to retaliate, but it happened that Lord Luo impeached the Wang family for bribing the selection of horses, so that they would be restrained, and they would not dare to touch the proprietor of my family again......"

As soon as the words came into his ears, Luo Yuan suddenly burst into tears.

Since he entered the office, he only felt that the road was extremely difficult, and he was the only one who walked against the current. The pressure of the people, the contempt of the world, the penniless ...... It all made him feel like a pair of huge pushing hands were pushing him towards the filthy abyss.

If he can't get paper and ink on credit today, he doesn't know what will happen to him in the future, maybe he will reach out to be greedy like other officials, or maybe he will resign and return to his hometown.

Anyway, everything you do by yourself doesn't make sense.

But at this time, with this word, Luo Yuan felt that it was worth it.

"Even if only one citizen benefits, Luo will not be an official in vain."

"The proprietor of my family said that the world needs a good official like Lord Luo." The guy said, took out a stack of paper and ink, and took out two silver ingots, and said, "These are for Lord Luo, I hope you will be consistent with this righteous heart." ”

Luo Yuan resolutely refused to accept the two silver ingots, and finally only took paper and ink, and said that this was credit, and it would definitely be returned in the future......

In the back hall, Wang Zhen lowered the curtain.

"The husband clearly hates him very much, but he still wants to praise him, which is too hypocritical." Tao Wenjun said.

"A gentleman can be deceived in a way, and it is difficult to do it in a wrong way." Wang Zhen sighed a little and said, "Since we want to use him, naturally we can't ......give no benefit at all."

~~

Meanwhile.

Royal Palace, Kunning Palace.

Cai Ping knelt on the ground, bowing her head, not daring to look at the queen sitting on top.

After she was returned to the palace, she was sent to the Huanyi Bureau by Concubine Xu, and she washed her clothes for a day, but she was brought to the queen again.

"You made a mistake in the princess's mansion?"

Cai Ping lowered her head and said softly, "Slave maid...... Don't feel like you're doing anything wrong. ”

The queen smiled: "You are open-mouthed, you annoyed Chunning, this girl, and you dare to say that you are right?" ”

Cai Ping kowtowed to the ground.

This must have been told to the queen by Mama Feng, so what is the purpose of the queen letting her come over today, Cai Ping can also guess.

She then looked up at the queen with great caution.

"What? Are you still wronged? The queen smiled: "It should be uncomfortable to wash in the Huanyi Bureau on this cold day, and there is a lack of a long palace maid here in this palace." ”

"Niangniang......" Cai Ping kowtowed again, and there was already a cry in her voice.

"You're right, that's the Chunning couple wrong?" The queen said, "Let's talk about what they did wrong." This palace asks you, what did the horse do on the eighth day of the tenth month? ”

The eighth day of October was the day when the plague broke out in Prince Gong's mansion.

Cai Ping thought for a moment and responded, "The princess and the colt didn't go anywhere that day......

The queen frowned slightly: "What about a few days ago?" ”

"They all went back to the Wang family." Cai Ping said: "After coming out of Wang's house on the sixth day of the first month, I took the princess to eat fried chicken, and on the seventh day of the first month, I went to eat sour soup. ”

"Why doesn't he go out on the eighth day of the first month?"

"Because the horse didn't like the sour Hu soup, I set up a copper hot pot in Fuzhong that day......"

After asking and asking for the clues she wanted, the queen became a little displeased, and said coldly: "You know that there are no more than Mama Feng." ”

Cai Ping panicked in her heart, and hurriedly said: "The horse often has resentful words, and he also said, 'The father is too stingy'. ”

"Are you fooling Hongu?"

Cai Ping was anxious to behave, but in a panic, there was a flash of inspiration, and said: "The horse has an affair with another woman, and on the tenth day of the first month, the slave maid saw him kiss his maid ring......"

Although there was no evidence of Wang Xiao's plot against King Gong, the queen was also quite satisfied.

- In this way, when those people make a move tomorrow, this palace can also help......

~~

It's night.

Within three days, Rui Wang woke up, after all, the old man had a shallow sleep.

He slowly sat up from the couch and opened his eyes, the old wrinkled eyelids opened, and a fine light gradually burst out of his cloudy eyes.

Like an old wolf who has woken up, ready to start hunting.
