"It's from Zhou Hai, the eldest son of Zhou Chen, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and I borrowed it to play with it for a few days." Shun Yu's eyelashes didn't blink, and his words were extraordinarily calm, but it made people uncomfortable to listen to.

Qin Zhong handed back the jade wrench, and when he saw her clenching it in his hand again, he didn't know what to say for a while.

After a silence, he gently comforted: "According to the laws of our dynasty, the furniture of the criminal ministers should be registered according to the account books, and they should not be included in the officials." But from time to time, there are officials and guards in brocade clothes, who fill their pockets and do some things to fish in troubled waters, which is really prohibited! ”

Shun Yu heard the word "criminal minister" in his throat, swallowed his saliva, and asked him with difficulty: "Uncle Qin helped me escape five years ago, but because I went north to Suzhou non-stop, I didn't know anything about the future of the Tian family. Has Uncle Qin heard the relevant rumors? ”

Qin Zhong groaned and said, "The deceased is gone, and the living are like this!" You can relax and live a good life, so don't ask more questions. ”

"Uncle Qin is reluctant to say it." Shun Yu smiled sadly, and her voice couldn't stop trembling: "I heard that my fifth sister was ruined by Zhou Chen's father and son and died after hitting the pillar, is this true?" ”

"You don't hearsay...... Qin Zhong opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Shun Yu: "Uncle Qin, I only believe you, if you say it's false, I will believe that it's not true." ”

When he met her, Qin Zhong couldn't spit out half a word when he came to his mouth, and he was silent for a long time, and finally sighed deeply, sad and helpless.

It's true!

Shun Yu was stunned, she still had a trace of luck.

How can it be so painful.

In her previous life, no one had mentioned this to her, and in her memory, Zhou Chen later joined the cabinet as a second assistant, and Zhou Hai served as a waiter in the Criminal Department, all of whom were important ministers of the imperial court, and they were all prosperous in the fire.

The palace often feasts, she is the queen, and she has s........taggered with his father and son, how can she be worthy of the fifth sister who died in vain!

was coaxed by Zhu Yu to eat sweet poisonous wine, Shun Yu never cried, but at this time, the teardrops couldn't help it, and the broken lines fell, and their faces were wet in an instant.

Qin Zhong looked at her with her eyebrows lowered and her eyes lowered, tears flowed endlessly, her shoulders shrugged, and she swallowed her throat with a whimper, unwilling to make a sound, sad and stubborn.

Pity is born, and he is about the same age as Jian Yun, he opened his mouth several times to comfort him, but he felt useless, he might as well let her cry, maybe he would feel better.

Qin Yanzhao brought a brocade box to greet his father, and when he entered the courtyard gate, he saw two or three girls guarding his father's room.

He walked to the atrium, Yi Xiang hurriedly stepped forward, and said respectfully: "The master is talking to Young Master Yu!" Let the idlers not bother. ”

"Am I an idler?" Qin Yanzhao thought it was funny, he really pursed his lips and smiled.

Yixiang consciously lost her words, her face was a little red, since the third master became an official, he always looked at people lightly, and brought out a little majesty for no reason, so that the hearts of people who were close to him couldn't help but pound.

Now that he is smiling, Rao can no longer observe his words and looks, and he can't tell whether he is happy or angry.

Qin Yanzhao ignored her, walked to the door, stood up, suddenly heard a sobbing sound, faintly in his ears, his expression was closed, and he lifted the curtain and entered the room.

But when he saw his father sitting on the kang in a plain robe, his face was solemn and solemn, and the other was sitting on a chair next to the kang, and he was quickly wiping his face with his sleeves when he heard the movement, and stood up to salute and say goodbye, and also waved at him, and hurried towards the door, his eyes were red.

Qin Zhong was a little dissatisfied that he had broken in without being communicated, but he didn't say anything, only motioned for him to sit down.

Yan Zhao sat on Shun Yu's chair, and a small and delicate sachet was hung on the armrest, which he casually put into his sleeve.

Yixiang came in to collect the old tea and replace it with a new Junshan silver needle, and Qin Zhong spoke: "You are so dignified in the Xuhuai area to supervise water conservancy, why did you suddenly transfer to the weaving bureau, but are you willing?" ”

Yan Zhao picked up the boiling tea, looked at it and said: "Father, look at this tea bud hanging vertically, rising after flushing, and slowly sinking, rising and sinking again, several ups and downs, people's fate or officialdom ups and downs, the original truth is melted into this bowl of tea!" ”

Seeing Qin Zhong's jaw, he continued: "The Yellow River in the area of Xuhuai is 500 miles long, and after his son's investigation throughout the year, the riverbed has been raised and the sediment has become increasingly serious. But my method is contrary to the "north blocking the south and sparse" and "diverting and killing" adopted by the imperial court. ”

"Shangshu was sternly dismissed, and during this period, officials were greedy, I disdained to be in company, and I was not tolerated by others. Transfers are inevitable! ”

Qin Zhong was in a heavy mood when he heard this, seeing that his face was still calm, he shook his head and sighed: "I told you a long time ago, your temperament is hard and upright, but you are not suitable for an officialdom career, if you are willing to give up Confucianism to study medicine, sooner or later the position of my court envoy will be yours." ”

Yan Zhao tugged at his lips, half joking and half serious: "The envoy of the academy is not a five-grade official position, and I am not here." ”

Looking at his father's eyes, he didn't approve of it, and he didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore, so he asked casually while putting the tea bowl aside: "Shunyu...... Why do you cry like a girl? Did his father reprimand him? ”

"I didn't reprimand him, I just missed my relatives, and he was a child in the end." Qin Zhong coughed, chose a medical book again, and turned the page seriously.

Yan Zhao knew that he was perfunctory, so he didn't ask more, handed over the brocade box he brought when he came, and said with a smile: "Father, look at what is contained here?" ”

........

Shun Yu walked dozens of steps, touched the sleeve cage, and the sachet sent by Jian Yun disappeared, and it was unknown if he looked back on it, or when he took out the jade wrench, it was unknown if it fell out together.

Fortunately, he didn't go far, turned back again, pushed open the courtyard door and entered, a row of red lanterns hanging on the porch had been lit, and it was dinner time, and the girls were gone.

Presumably Qin Yanzhao has left, Shun Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and he really didn't want to touch him.

Walking to the door, he heard Qin Zhong ask with surprise and joy: "The scientific name of this thing is Huaxicao, where did you get it?" ”

Shun Yu's hand hung down, and Yan Zhao said with a smile: "It was the head of Hedu Water who passed by Su County, and when he was resting in front of a farmer's house, he saw a few grasses growing in the pot, the color was light purple, the fragrance was strange, and it was quite sweet to chew in the mouth. I've never seen it before, so I brought it back to my father. ”

"If you have a wound in your mouth and chew it again, you will not want this life." Qin Zhongsheng is quite positive: "Huaxi grass can repel snakes and insects because of its unique fragrance, and the taste is sweet and can be seasoned in noodles, it was planted in large quantities in the Han Dynasty, and then people often died inexplicably, but after investigation, it was this grass that made trouble, and its toxicity was no less than that of broken intestine grass, crane top red, etc. If there is a slight bruise on the body, even if it bites a mosquito or scratches itself, it will be poisoned, hallucinated, weak hands and feet, and gibberish, and it will definitely die within a month. ”

After a while, I heard Yan Zhaocai say: "I ate this grass more than 20 days earlier, so it's okay to think about it." ”

I also heard Qin Zhong say: "At the end of the Han Dynasty, because of the huge poison of this flower, the grass was burned on a large scale, and it was recorded in the medical book that since then, this thing has become extinct. ”

Shun Yu's heart was loose, and she didn't realize that the jade wrench finger in her palm was held by her, like a fire!
