Chapter 10 A Precious Gift

The emperor was already furious about Zheng Yunlin in the court, so in order to avoid reprimanding and to curry favor with the emperor, the people below did twice the result with half the effort, but only two days later, he had already collected no less than dozens of charges. The interrogation of Zheng Yunlin Zhongzong has been handed over to Lu Jue, and all the charges collected have been summarized here.

After Lu Jue read the files that Jiang Huan handed over to him one by one, he couldn't help but laugh sarcastically, and said: "It's really a tree that is falling down, and the wall is falling and everyone is pushing, and there are really a lot of people who fall into the well when they encounter danger." As he spoke, he put the charge file on the table and explained: "In this case, leave the opportunity to come out to the Criminal Department!" In my absence, you just have to take care of your business. If there is something that you can't avoid and don't know how to solve it, you can discuss it with Master Feng, and you don't have to work hard to ask for my opinion. ”

But before Jiang Huan could reply, Yao Minghao, who was sitting on the side, rushed to Lu Jue and asked first, "Brother Lu, are you going out of Beijing?" When was it decided, and why don't I know? ”

Lu Jue leaned back, avoiding his spitting, frowned and said, "Tell you what, you can't follow me." ”

Yao Minghao splashed like a child: "People don't follow, why do you say you can leave." ”

Lu Jue glanced at him, stood up and tidied up his clothes for him and said, "How old a person is and still looks like a child, he is not afraid of making people look at jokes!" ”

"Don't blame adults, the little general values you, a brother with a different surname, isn't this a good thing." After that, Jiang Huan clasped his hands into fists and saluted: "The lower officials are entangled in official business and can't leave Beijing, so I apologize to the adults here, and then I will be happy to get married to the adults." ”

Lu Jue returned the salute and smiled humbly: "Thank you, Jing 、、、、、、"

Before Lu Jue's words were finished, Yao Minghao interjected again, complaining unhappily: "Big brother is going to get married?" When did you get your appointment? Why are you so stingy, I don't know if I will be a brother, and look down on me as a brother. Okay, okay, I've got a grudge against you! With a snort, he sat aside angrily, twisting his head and ignoring the person.

Seeing his appearance, Lu Jue shook his head with a smile, picked up the file on the table, handed it to Jiang Huan, and said, "The matter is settled, you go back first to sort out these charges, and then hand them over to the Criminal Department for them to present to the emperor." Remember that now we are shrunken turtles, and it is better not to participate in what we can not participate in. After he took it and glanced at Yao Minghao, he motioned to Jiang Huan, walked a few steps to the side and said, "How is Yang Shuxiao's family now, the eldest princess didn't embarrass them, right?" ”

The eldest princess handled this matter very secretly, and no one knew about it except herself, how did he know. Jiang Huan was a little surprised and said, "The adults already know about this matter." ”

Lu Jue smiled and said: "There are only a few people who really want me, who has such a big right, and they can be one step ahead of me, do you still need to think about it!" ”

Jiang Huan said: "The eldest princess is afraid that someone will harm the adults again, although the practice is inappropriate, but it is also well-intentioned. Although the princess has been noble for so many years, she has no less suffering in her heart than anyone else, and she doesn't even know whether she knows cold or hot. Seeing that Lu Jue listened to his words and fell into deep thought, he took a few steps in front of him and whispered: "If the adults still care about this blood and family relationship, why not call my sister!" If you don't care, why provoke her and remind her of the sad past. ”

Yes, he didn't know how the old princess treated him for so much, and there was too much helplessness for him to speak. But this matter is not something that can be denied by avoiding it, and it is also appropriate to call your sister from your heart. came back to his senses and said: "Thank you, I will take this to heart, and I will not make my sister sad in the future." ”

Hearing Lu Jue's sister, Jiang Huan actually showed a smile that was even more comfortable than doing his own thing, "Adults don't have to worry about the Yang family, the eldest princess is not a ruthless person after all." Yang Shuxiao is just a fool to do the wrong thing, the eldest princess in order to accumulate blessings for the adult, just ordered someone to beat him dozens of boards, although he suffered some flesh and blood and was dismissed from his official position, his life was saved after all. Although he will not be an official in the future, although he will live a hard life, at least he will no longer have to be afraid. ”

Hearing his words, Lu Jue's eyebrows and eyes widened, and his tone became relaxed: "This is an excellent thing." As he spoke, he took out a few silver tickets from his sleeve, handed them to Jiang Huan and said, "Here are 1,000 taels that you will transfer to the Yang family for me, and you will say that it is a settling-in fee given by the eldest princess." ”

Jiang Huan said: "If you say that you are not a relative, no one will believe it, you and the eldest princess will only think about each other, isn't this excellent." For the eldest princess, adults remember her, which is more precious than any treasure, and adults should cherish it! ”

What is there to doubt about these words, no matter who he is, at least he treats himself sincerely now, isn't it a good thing to be able to have the sincerity he once had! Thinking of this, Lu Jue was not obsessed with defense, and said with a smile: "Thank you Lord Jiang for your advice, Ziyu will remember it for a lifetime." Ziyu has been away from Beijing for the past few days, and her sister has worked hard with Dali Temple. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Huan's cheeks turned red, and he smiled shyly: "Yes, there are subordinates here, rest assured." If the lord has no other instructions, the subordinate will retire. Without waiting for Lu Jue to reply, he bowed and retreated to the door, and when he turned around, he saw the eldest princess Zhu Yunqin coming in, looking at her with a slight change in his gaze, and his cheeks turned red again. After staring directly for a moment, he suddenly felt rude, and saluted in a panic: "See the eldest princess." ”

Zhu Yunqin lowered his head slightly, bowed back and said softly, "Lord Jiang is polite." Why, Master Jiang is leaving! "There is tenderness in the words.

Jiang Huan nodded and replied in a low voice: "Yes, there are cases to be dealt with by adults, so it is inconvenient to stay here longer." ”

Zhu Yunqin's face changed slightly, and he was slightly disappointed, and turned sideways to give way: "Adults go slowly." ”

"The minister retired." took two steps back, glanced up at Zhu Yunqin, and turned to leave.

And Zhu Yunqin stood there silently looking at Jiang Huan's departing back.

Lu Jue seemed to realize something when he saw this situation, a new wife was newly mourned, and a widow had been widowed for many years, if Jiang Huan could keep it all the time, how could they not be a good couple. Thinking about it, he lowered his head and smiled, walked to Yao Minghao, who was angry, touched his arm, stepped forward and called softly: "Sister is here." ”

Because of Jiang Huan's departure, Zhu Yunqin was still disappointed, so she didn't pay attention to hearing this sister, who she had been looking forward to for a long time, came back to her senses, turned around and asked with a faint smile: "You're leaving Beijing, have you packed up your things?" ”

Lu Jue nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Yao Minghao stepped forward slowly, pouted and said, "Sister Changhuang." He and Lu Jue became brothers, and he knows the relationship between Lu Jue and the eldest princess. The eldest princess didn't wait for Lu Jue's sister, but it was Yao Minghao's eldest sister and eldest emperor's sister who were closer than him.

Look at his unhappy face. Zhu Yunqin stepped forward and patted him on the back, smiling and relieved: "Who provoked our General Yao Xiao, tell Sister Changhuang, Sister Changhuang is in charge with you." ”

Yao Minghao was completely wronged as a little daughter-in-law, grabbed the arm of the eldest princess, and pointed at Lu Jue full of grievances: "It's all him, he doesn't tell me when he will marry, who is his sister-in-law!" ”

Lu Jue felt aggrieved for such a false accusation, glanced at him, and said, "Why don't you have a long memory if you're quite big!" My father-in-law and mother-in-law live in Luowangfu, and you and I have met a few times, so why are you embarrassed to ask such a thing. ”

"Oh yes!" Yao Minghao, who suddenly came to his senses, scratched his head embarrassedly, and came to Lu Jue with a flattering smile: "Brother, let me go with you!" ”

Lu Jue squinted at him and said, "Don't you have to be on duty in the palace?" If you let the old general know that you are not doing your job properly, be careful of your flesh and skin. Reaching out and patting him on the back, friendship reminds.

Yao Minghao was deflated, sat on the chair and muttered: "Oh, there are so many forbidden troops in the palace, there is no more than me, and no less than me, why not, hum." ”

Lu Jue and the eldest princess looked at each other and smiled, and they both took their seats. Zhu Yunqin turned around and took the burden from the maid's hand, and said: "The weather is getting colder and colder, and you are leaving Beijing tomorrow, I am worried about your body, so I rushed to make a few pieces to pack in the morning, a cloak, you can use it on the road to protect against the cold!" He put the burden on the couch table and pushed it in front of Lu Jue.

Lu Jue stroked this soft satin, his heart was warm, who said that the royal family has no family affection except for intrigue, isn't this blood relatives! What barriers can be resisted. Three years, and how many true feelings can wait for another three years. He was afraid that he would have regrets when he returned, and decided to fulfill the promise of the marriage contract, so this blood sister and brother love was not a regret he wanted to make up.

Lu Jue held the burden in his arms, looked up at Zhu Yunqin, moistened his eyes slightly, and said softly: "This is the most precious gift I have received." ”

"What's the matter today, Sister Yu said this, it's strange and uncomfortable to hear." Zhu Yunqin lowered his head to wipe away the tears that were about to flow, and handed over a brocade box to open it, and there were two pairs of phoenix bracelets with one gold, one jade and one in it.

Lu Jue is a man, so naturally he doesn't need this kind of thing, he frowned, and asked suspiciously, "Sister, what does this mean?" ”

Hearing Lu Jue's shout, my sister Yao Minghao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and looked at the two of them, craned her neck to look at the objects in the box, glanced at him mockingly, crossed her waist and said: "Aren't you usually very smart, why are you pretending to be stupid at this time, this is not for you, it is for the lady you are going to marry." ”

Zhu Yunqin nodded and reviewed: "This is a gift from the emperor when the queen mother got married. Later, when I got married, my father gave it to me. Originally, there were two pairs, and the emperor's brother became his father, and the emperor gave the emperor's sister-in-law, but then the house disappeared. Put the lid of the box in Lu Jue's hand and said: "This is a part of my sister's heart, I hope Shui'er doesn't feel that the gift is thin." ”

Lu Jue said: "I accepted my sister's friendship on behalf of Shui'er. When Shui'er and I return to Beijing, we will go to my sister's house to thank you. ”

"Thank you, the eldest sister of the family is the mother, and the queen mother 、、、、、、" realized that he heard Lu Jue's call sister, he was stunned on the spot, and looked at Lu Jue in a daze and asked for confirmation in a trembling voice: "What did you just call me?" ”

Lu Jue called again: "Sister." ”

"You call me sister!" This sister made her too sad, and at this time, all tears of happiness crossed her cheeks.

Yao Minghao walked up to her and said, "Sister Elder Emperor, what's the matter, you look forward to it every day when Brother Lu doesn't call it, why don't you believe it." ”

Zhu Yunqin wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with tears in his eyes: "Letter, letter, how can you not believe it, this is also the most precious gift I have received." Stretched out his hand and held Lu Jue's hand tightly, for fear that he would disappear again.
