Chapter 13: Streamlining Officials (2)
A drizzle was falling, and the whole world was shrouded in a gray mist.
Ruan Xinghe put the cooked porridge on the table, and saw a purple figure walking in the rain curtain. She was holding a pale yellow oil-paper umbrella, and the raindrops on the tip of the umbrella wet a few strands of her hair.
Even if she became a monarch, her eyes still seemed to be full of brilliance, and the whole person was not infected with the violence of life and death, but had a touch of elegant temperament.
"Come in and sit."
Hearing this, Yu Tianqing walked into the hall and looked around, a table with four chairs, mottled lacquer; There were slight scratches on the teapot, a notch in the cup, and the smell of fireworks permeated the room.
"Ruan Xinghe, come over here." Jin Chuyi's small head came out from behind the curtain: "This dress tie is too complicated!" She grumbled quietly.
Ruan Xinghe walked up to her, his slender fingers touched her neck, and the slightly cool touch made her shrink her neck.
"Don't buy me new clothes in the future, it's a waste of money."
After getting dressed, she walked into the hall, still tightly wrapped her whole face, and her expression was a little restrained.
Ruan Xinghe brought a chair: "Let's eat together." ”
This porridge has obviously been boiled for a long time, soft and glutinous and sweet, and a few red dates are like red agate embedded in it. Yu Tianqing did not shirk and drank a bowl of porridge cleanly.
"It's a blessing to be able to eat the food you cooked with your own hands."
After finishing the meal, Jin Chuyi volunteered to wash the dishes. Ruan Xinghe looked gentle: "I'll wash it, you accompany the guests." ”
She couldn't help but snatch the bowl into her own hands: "How embarrassing is this! After all, it's in my house, and you're all guests! ”
Ruan Xinghe: "I've been washing it before, and I'm embarrassed to see you!" ”
Jin Chuyi threw Ruan Xinghe a roll of his eyes and went to wash the dishes.
Yu Tianqing stared at Jin Chuyi's back tightly: "What you are doing now is related to Ah Li?" ”
Ruan Xinghe's eyes suddenly dimmed a little: "To be honest, I can't be sure." ”
The first time he met Jin Chuyi, he felt extremely familiar. Whether it's the way she communicates with people, or the way she plays the leaf card, or her way of acting, she and Ah Li are really similar.
He tried his best to get close to her, and even went so far as he could to stay in her house, but she never showed her face or told her story.
He was entangled in his heart, if it was really Ali, why did he suddenly become a woman? Why are his eyes so unfamiliar, is there really a saying in this world that people are resurrected?
Yu Tianqing's heart was as uncomfortable as being blocked by cotton. In the past, she didn't want to think about it anymore, only Ali, like a thorn buried in her heart.
"First year of junior high school, do you want to play cards?"
As soon as Jin Chu heard this, he wiped his hands on his shirt, and his eyes shone brightly.
"Okay." The king of Danhua must be a rich lord.
Yu Tianqing shouted: "Jin Yuguang, Linbo, come in and play cards." ”
Jin Yuguang and Lin Bo heard the sound, and several people saluted each other and sat around.
An hour later, looking at the table again, the copper plate and ingots were about to bury Jin Chuyi. She stretched out her hand to Yu Tianqing: "The king won't run out of money, right?" ”
Lin Bo shook his head at Yu Tianqing, and went out temporarily, but he didn't have much money with him, and he was all won away by Chu Yi.
Yu Tianqing thought for a while, took off the gemstone ring on his thumb, and put it on Jin Chu's hand.
Jin Yuguang: "I've lost all my money, so I won't play." ”
Jin Chu's eyes flickered and said, "There is no money, but there are still clothes!" ”
When Lin Bo heard this, he tugged at the clothes on his body: "This is not good!" ”
Yu Tianqing only felt the joy gushing out of her heart spread to the corners of her lips and eyebrows. Is it really him?
After Jin Chuyi saw Yu Tianqing's eagerly expectant eyes, he suddenly calmed down and slowly put the ingots into his pocket.
"Let's play another day."
After the rain stopped, Ruan Xinghe sent Yu Tianqing to the carriage.
"Xinghe, take good care of her."
Ruan Xinghe bowed: "I will." ”
In the evening, a team of people suddenly came to the courtyard, each of them carrying a tray, in the tray are all kinds of jewelry and jewelry, but the most are clothes, there are three large boxes. Jin Chu's eyes straightened when he saw it, and sure enough, he was still the king of a country and rich!
After looking at the jewelry, she only felt that her eyes were almost blinded by the golden light, she opened the box again, took out the clothes, and said to herself while looking at them: "What beautiful clothes!" Why is each piece complicated, though? Don't you have to be worn by Ruan Xinghe every time? ”
Bai Lu stacked the folds of Yu Tianqing's reply and said, "The king is in a good mood today. ”
Although she didn't say much, the corners of her lips were always raised, and her tone was slightly raised.
"Why did the king give away all his clothes? Aren't you usually afraid that there are many layers and the dressing process is cumbersome? ”
Yu Tianqing's eyes did not leave the golden book: "It's complicated, so I give it to them." "Give them the opportunity to nurture feelings.
The egret didn't know why, and when he saw that the king was silent, it was not good to ask again.
"Your Majesty, today Yu Shuwan and Qiu Yue have a fight in the Ministry of Officials, I heard that it is for the quota to go to Weicheng."
"It's better to fight. Yuming will know how stupid her niece is! ”
Soon, the number of officials to go to Weicheng was determined, and there were forty people in total. These people all showed joy on their faces and came to bid farewell to Yu Tianqing. In terms of their abilities and family backgrounds, it is difficult to have substantial development in the capital, and it is just this opportunity that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the unrestrained life is even more fascinating.
Yu Shuwan glanced at Qiu Yue viciously, if it wasn't for her aunt to stop her, she would definitely go and join in the fun! Weicheng is adjacent to Nanwan Kingdom, although the climate is hot, you can see foreign men who come to buy from time to time! It is said that the men of Nanwan are white and beautiful, and even the color of their pupils is different from that of other countries!
After the resignation, a group of men and horses marched towards Weicheng.
Jin Yuguang followed behind Yu Tianqing, his face full of joy. The egret couldn't help but ask, "Why is General Jin so happy?" ”
Jin Yuguang deliberately sold a pass: "Ten days later, it will naturally be clear." ”
Before entering the Purple Qi West Temple, he saw Lin Bo coming quickly.
"Your Majesty, the number of Yuan Dynasty porcelains you asked me to count is wrong, there is a batch missing."
Yu Tianqing: "Spread Hairong to talk back." ”
The man named Haeon was burly with a square face and a bushy beard. He is Hai Shuyi's distant cousin, and he is cautious in doing things, and he has always been in charge of escorting grain and grass.
He fell to his knees in awe.
"General Hai, when the porcelain was shipped out of the Yuan Dynasty, the number could be counted? Is there any mistake in this transportation? ”
Hairong had a dense layer of sweat on the corners of his forehead, and he tried to recall: "Your lord, the lower officials have been engaged in transporting grain and grass for many years, and they know the stakes involved. The numbers are absolutely counted! On the way back, there were guards on duty even late at night. Before the porcelain was put into the treasury, the number of lowly officials was also counted. I really don't know what went wrong! ”
"How many pieces of porcelain are there?"
Hairong handed the egret a roster, and a total of 12 pieces of porcelain, including the Eight Treasure Glass Bottle and the Rare Beast Bottle, disappeared.
Yu Tianqing closed the booklet: "This thief knows the goods, and any of these pieces of porcelain are worth a thousand gold." Hairong, think about it again, during this period, there was nothing suspicious? ”
Hairong shook his head.
"There you go."
After Hairong left, Bai Lu commanded the maid to clean the room, her eyes swept over a rosewood table, strange, where did the king's favorite blue glazed pomegranate bottle go? Could it be that after cleaning and dusting, the maid forgot to put it back in place?
The egret gathered all the maids in the imperial study and asked around, and everyone said that they had never seen it.
On the second day, I lost another pair of pastel bottles!
Now the egret is very sure that there are thieves in this palace!
After reporting this matter to Yu Tianqing, seeing that her eyes were shining slightly, she said, "Put a few pieces of valuable porcelain in the imperial study." ”
Egret picked a few pieces of porcelain and placed them.
Late at night, a woman dressed in a pale white palace dress tiptoed into a white jade bottle into a cloth bag. Just as he was about to go out, the lights in the temple were lit up as if it were day. Seeing the two eyes of the egret staring like copper bells, the woman immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Manager Bai, the slave is wrong!" The slave is stealing for the first time, please forgive Mr. Bai! ”
Egret: "Ruri! Sure enough, it's you! You said it was the first time, but where did you get the blue-glazed pomegranate bottle and pastel bottle? ”
Liuli has always been the prime minister's internal response, last time, Wang Shang used Liuli to pass fake news to Yuming, so that the prime minister's dog jumped over the wall and staged the drama of robbing the prison!
Liuli raised her head and saw Yu Tianqing sitting on the golden chair, her eyes revealing a little fierceness.
Egret: "Liuli, why did you steal the treasure?" Who instructed? What is the purpose? ”
Liuli's face turned pale: "No one instructed him!" When the slave saw that this bottle was really rare, she wanted to take it back and take a look, and she planned to return it tomorrow! ”
Egret: "It seems that if you don't fight, you won't be able to recruit!" ”
The egret shouted, and the execution guard held down Liuli, and before she could hit it a few times, Liuli cried and cried.
"I'll recruit, I'll recruit!"
The egret motioned for the guards to stop.
"I, I'm here to steal it out and sell it for money!"
Yu Tianqing put the book in his hand on the table and ordered: "You judge first, and this king will go and rest for a while." ”
Liuli knew in her heart that when the king left at this time, he would put her life and death in the hands of Chief Bai, and it didn't matter if she listened to the truth or not! Even if Mr. Bai kills her, the king is on Mr. Bai's side!
"Your Majesty, the slave maid is for the birthday of the Prime Minister! The slave maid wants to give the prime minister some decent birthday gifts! ”
Hearing this, Yu Tianqing turned his head and looked at the glass surface.
"That's it, Ben **. Egret, there is no need to interrogate, and she was sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion overnight. ”
The egret commanded the guards to tie up the glazed flowers, stuff the silk cloth in the mouth, carry it to the sedan chair, and send it to the prime minister's mansion.
After waiting for Yu Tianqing to rinse her mouth, the egret took off her court clothes and changed into a loose crescent white bedgown.
"Your Majesty, why is there no more trial? Perhaps, the glaze has something to do with the lost porcelain. ”
Yu Tianqing shook his head and chuckled: "These two things are just coincidences, Liuli doesn't have such a ability." Throwing her to the prime minister is just selling the prime minister's face. ”
