Chapter 45: The Wish of This Life
When the trial reopened, it was already early October.
The chill brought by the early winter makes people shiver.
I thought it was just a small case for ordinary people, but what I didn't expect was that it "unintentionally" attracted the jury of the crown prince!
On that day, Chen Yuanyuan provided evidence to confirm that Chunxi bought poison and poisoned her, and between life and death, Chunxi finally confessed to the mastermind Liu Yueniang.
Although Liu Yueniang is a favorite concubine, she tried in vain to climb to the position of the main wife, and in order to please her husband, she went back to her parents' house and persuaded her father to hand over the gold, silver and jewelry to Zhong Shaoqing.
Master Liu had just been closed for nearly half of his shop because of the fall of the Luo family, and he immediately refused.
Liu Yueniang's persuasion was fruitless, and when she heard that the Chen family and the Liu family had a grudge, she had murderous intent and blamed the Chen family for the matter.
This incident immediately angered the prince, and the officials of the five grades of the dynasty turned out to be corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and they killed people if they didn't give it, what is the reason of heaven? ?
So, in addition to Chen's father being released in court, Liu Yueniang and Zhong Shaoqing were detained and postponed for retrial!
——————
The ears were full of exclamations from the elders and children of the Chen family, and Lian'er covered her mouth and smiled, handed back the bronze mirror in her hand, and praised: "Miss Yuanyuan is really a good craft." ”
"It's the girl who has a good foundation, but I took a big advantage for nothing."
"The girl laughed, I don't know what today's reward is?" A gentle and quiet beauty, a smile attracts people's attention.
"Miss Pi'er is free to give it to you."
"Then these two pieces of silver shall be regarded as a reward for the girl."
Spend a tael of silver to meet someone with a skill, why not?
Chen Yuanyuan accepted it generously, the other party was the top card of Yunmengge, and one or two pieces of silver was really not much.
As for the last time I was able to get a reward of 100 taels of silver, it was also a blessing.
First, it coincided with the day of choosing an Oiran, and second, fortunately the old bustard and Li'er could believe her; Besides, Dijing has never had this kind of makeup, otherwise a girl from a poor family wants a hundred taels of silver as a reward, which is simply a fool's dream!
I can get a tael of silver right now, but the thing that waved my hand is also good.
"Yuan'er has thanked Miss Li'er here, if you have a close friend in your boudoir, why don't you introduce her to me, maybe I can surprise you?"
"That's very good, the girl is waiting for good news."
After Li'er finished speaking, she already smiled and left with the maid.
Looking at the two masters and servants who were leaving with lotus steps, the Chen family was so shocked that their eyes almost popped out, just like this, they got a tael of silver?
Are all the girls in Yunmeng Pavilion so rich?
Is it really a laughing poor and not a prostitute?
However, the posture of the girl holding the pen is really chic and neat, and the flow of water is done in one go, but who did you learn this craft from?
You can't be self-taught, right?
Father Chen's face straightened, and he took the lead in asking, "Who are you working with?" ”
When the words fell, he was slapped on the hand by Chen's mother.
"Is this the time to ask about such a thing?" After finishing speaking, he asked sharply again: "Big girl, how do you have a relationship with the woman of Yunmeng Pavilion?" Mother doesn't allow you to get acquainted with a dusty woman! ”
Chen Yuanyuan pinched her eyebrows and spread her hands again.
"On that day in Yunmeng Pavilion, I inquired about it, and the girl was innocent."
"What about being innocent, staying in that kind of place, your reputation will be gone a long time ago."
"Daddy, grandma, you can't think like this, there are strange women in the dust. Maybe it's hard for people to hide, and there are many homeless good women among them, or poor people who are reluctant to be trafficked. Besides, I don't steal or rob to make money with my ability, so why don't I want to go with the silver? ”
"It's just that you're crooked! But if it's really a last resort, these girls are also pitiful. It's just that you still have to deal less with it in the future, you can't go to this Qinglou, and your reputation will be ruined, and your mother-in-law and husband will not want to listen to these gossips in the future. ”
"I know, I know."
Father Chen was impatient in his heart, and asked again: "So, where did you learn the craft?" ”
The corners of Chen Yuanyuan's mouth twitched, thinking that she had changed the topic, and she didn't want his father to come back again. But if you want to engage in this business, your father and mother will know it long ago, and now you can simply find a reason to never suffer in the future.
Well...... Sometimes, some white lies have to be told.
"Daddy, in the past, when I used to sell paintings on the road, I often used to paint the son, looking at the fairies in his pen, all of them were eyebrows like crescent moons, bright eyes, red lips and white teeth. I kept it in my heart, and every day I took the charcoal to draw it, and it was like a curtain hanging from the sky, and now I can catch it with my hands. ”
"Really?"
Looking at the old and young of the Chen family with a suspicious face, Chen Yuanyuan immediately stepped forward to hold Chen's mother's arm.
She was a little coquettish and said: "Naturally it is true, in the future, Yuanyuan will earn silver, and she will buy a big house for everyone, and the girl will serve every day, and there are countless silk and satin, mountain and sea delicacies, and she will go to the mountains and rivers together when she is idle." ”
After finishing speaking, except for Chen's father, everyone kept laughing.
These things are things that they have never imagined and dare not imagine, and now they are said and untouched, which is naturally fake. Even if it can't come true, people can have dreams, and several people have expectations and yearning on their faces.
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
"You're afraid you're talking about a dream."
Although Chen's father said this, he also felt his daughter's filial piety, and his eyes were more relieved with a little expectation.
Chen Yuanyuan's little face suddenly collapsed, and she pursed her mouth: "Dad, can't you not hit your daughter when you are old?" ”
"If you don't have this spare time, you won't sew the wedding dress, and tomorrow your father will go to talk to the monkey, and I will marry you in the spring next year."
Hearing this, Tong also nodded approvingly.
"That's right, this wedding dress has to be sewn by hand, and the second girl will help you with it."
“…… I swear to God, I am innocent with the monkey, you don't mess with the mandarin duck score. I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to stay at home with my grandmother, my parents, my younger siblings. ”
"What stupid are you talking about? Naturally no, isn't it a joke that this girl's family stays at home all the time. ”
"Dad, this kind of thing can't be forced."
Chen's father wanted to speak and stopped, looking at his daughter's words, it didn't seem to be false, but now it is not easy to find a suitable in-law, and he will no longer persuade immediately.
On the contrary, Tong suddenly remembered something and ran into the back room again and again.
When he came out again, the old man already had a small bamboo bookcase in his hand.
"Our old Chen family finally has a reader, Yunsheng, you come here, my grandmother bought you a small bookcase, and you will carry it to school in the future, but it is convenient."
After hearing this, Mother Chen immediately stepped forward with a worry: "Mother, you have a little silver on your old body......
Tong waved his hand again and again: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm a grandmother and send a bookcase to my eldest grandson, what's wrong?" Yunsheng, you can try it. ”
Chen Yunsheng was moved, but the eight-year-old seemed to be a lot more stable in an instant, and he cherished the bookcase behind him with steady steps, and his little face that was beginning to show his outline was delicate and handsome.
