Sun closed his eyes and leaned on the Luohan bed, listened to Mrs. He's finished speaking, and said slowly: "I am a woman's family, and I don't know anything about officialdom, and I can't interfere. ”

Mrs. He's eyes darkened when she heard this, and she smiled bitterly: "I know that this time it is difficult for the strongman, so I have no shame to ask for it." The old lady's willingness to listen to me say this is already a big face. ”

Sun still lowered his eyes and did not speak, and licorice and licopine stood aside with his hands tied, watching his nose and nose and heart. Mrs. He Shao glanced at Mrs. He, a little anxious, but she didn't dare to interject.

Mama Chang took a step forward, reached out and touched Sun's teacup on the small table, picked it up and walked to the curtain and handed it to the little maid, and then walked back to Sun's side to stand still, but when she stood still, she glanced at Sanniang again.

Sanniang looked at Mrs. He with some concern, and comforted softly: "Cousin doesn't have to worry too much, the so-called clean person is self-purifying, since my cousin has not done the business of selling illicit salt, he will definitely be able to come out and reunite with you soon." ”

Mrs. He stopped talking when she heard this, how could she explain the twists and turns of officialdom to a young lady who was raised in the depths of the boudoir? In the end, he only smiled reluctantly and thanked: "Thank you, Miss San, for your good words." ”

Sanniang looked a little helpless when she saw that the comfort was not working, so she had to turn to Sun and ask for confirmation: "Grandmother, are you right about what Sanniang said?" Bad people should be punished, and good people are naturally rewarded. I heard my brothers chatting about the Li Mansion two streets away many years ago, because of the problem with the Ejiao that was dedicated to the palace, a concubine Niangniang ate sand grains in the Ejiao, and said that she was going to be sentenced to exile at that time. But later it was verified that the sand grains were accidentally mixed into the ejiao by the little eunuch in the imperial dining room during the boiling, and it was not the problem of the batch of ejiao that was sacrificed into the palace. So in the end, Li Ren was not punished, and the emperor also sent a plaque with a royal pen in order to appease the Li family. ”

Mrs. He was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to react, but when Sun heard this, she opened her eyes and glanced at Sanniang, thoughtful.

The case of the Li family was a matter of the former emperor when he was alive, and the Li family was indeed not condemned in the end, but was given a plaque by the former emperor. Everyone thinks that the Li family is lucky, but they don't know that since then, the Li family has been greatly injured, and it will no longer be the first giant in the five northern provinces. And the reason why the Li family was able to escape the doom of being convicted was because the head of the Li family dedicated the tenths of the wealth accumulated by the family for several generations to the imperial court as the cost of grain and grass for the war against Warat at that time. It can be said that Emperor Jianwu was able to disintegrate the Mongol army and expel it from Mobei, and the Li family made a great contribution.

Sun's fingers tapped on the small table on Luohan's bed. This time the matter of the He family is indeed a little strange, if the head of the He family really did not do the business of selling illicit salt, then it is "innocent of the husband, but he is guilty", and some people are jealous of the wealth of the He family. If this is the case, it is not difficult for the Wang family to let the head of the He family come out safe and sound, as long as it does not hinder the interests of some people.

Thinking of this, Sun raised his eyes and asked, "All you want is your family's innocence to get out of prison?" ”

Mrs. He was stunned again when she heard this, carefully tasted the meaning of Sun's words, and thought about the Li family that Sanniang said just now. She has also heard some rumors about the Li family, although she doesn't really know the truth, but looking at the current situation of the Li family, she is also a little skeptical. The more Mrs. He thought about it, the paler her face became, and in the end she was a little shaky.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Mrs. He's face was wrong, Mrs. He asked worriedly. She didn't understand what Sun and Mrs. He were saying.

Mrs. He gritted her teeth, sat up straight, and gradually regained the color of blood on her face. I saw her slowly get up, straighten her clothes, and walk in front of Sun and bow deeply.

"Yes, old lady, I only beg my lord to be released from prison with innocence. As for the rest, I don't have to worry about the lack of firewood to burn, and my lord is also an open-minded person, so I won't blame me too much for my decision. As for the rest of the He family, if you have any complaints, just come at me. ”

Sanniang looked at the lady in front of her with firm eyes, and couldn't help but feel some admiration. She just reminded the Sun family, just thinking about the case of the Li family in the book "Anecdotes of the Jianwu Dynasty" that she had read before, although the book did not say the reason for the Li family's exoneration, but thinking of the background at that time and the situation after the Li family, she could also guess a thing or two.

I also thought that if the lord of the He family was really the knowledgeable businessman in Mrs. He's mouth, and the family was also very wealthy, he would not take risks to participate in the sale of illicit salt for money. So the most likely reason why the He family suffered this time is that some people are jealous of the He family's wealth.

If the He family's affairs are also money that can solve the problem, then helping the He family will not offend others or the interests of the Wang family, and the Yu Sun family is just a gesture. But she didn't expect Mrs. He to be able to decide on the trade-off so quickly, and her attitude was so resolute. It is said that people who have entered the money cave, even if they die, they can't give up those riches, and a woman can break her wrist like this, which is enough to show that she is not ordinary.

Hearing this, Sun also glanced at Mrs. He seriously, and suddenly smiled: "You are not the person with shallow knowledge. That being the case, then I'll help you inquire, it's just that the ugly words are ahead, whether it will be successful or not is not something that my wife can decide, it depends on the will of God. ”

When Mrs. He heard this, she bowed deeply again, and said very gratefully: "This junior knows it. The old lady is willing to help us ask, that is a great favor to our family, whether it is successful or not, and the family remembers the kindness of the old lady. ”

Sun nodded: "You go back first, if there is news, I will send someone to inform you." ”

When Mrs. He heard this, she hurriedly pulled Mrs. He Shao to kowtow and retire.

"You can bring this blood lingzhi back." Sun stopped the He family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were about to go.

Mrs. He hurriedly said: "Where is the reason to bring back the gifts sent out, and the juniors who go out of this mansion will be laughed at and said that they are not treated by you." Please ask the old lady to take care of the faces of our mother and son, and accept this Ganoderma lucidum, otherwise where will we have the face to come to the door in the future? ”

When Sun heard this, he thought for a while and said, "It's okay." Then he turned his head and instructed the licorice: "Find Mama Li and ask for the key to the treasury to get two good old ginseng, and then weigh two catties of blood swallow and bring them back to their mother and son, I will reward them." ”

Licorice took the order.

Mrs. He couldn't refuse, so she hurriedly came back to thank her, and Sun left them to sit for a while and wait for Licorice to come back.

Mrs. He chatted with Sun for a while, and only after a cup of tea did she see the licorice turn.

"Why did you go for so long?" Sun asked.

"The old lady forgives her sins, Mama Li went to Yiyantang, and the maid walked a little more, so it was late." Licorice confessed.

Hearing this, Sun frowned and asked, "What is she doing in Yiyan Hall?" ”

Licorice said: "Mama Li said that the eldest lady came to her to discuss the matter of Xia Yi. ”

Sun's brows furrowed even tighter, and Mrs. He hurriedly got up to say goodbye when she saw this.

Sun suppressed his anger and instructed Mama Chang: "You send them out." ”

Mama Chang took the order and took the He family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law out of the main room.

Sun glanced at Sanniang: "You can also go back to the courtyard." When Sanniang heard this, she also got up to say goodbye to the Sun family.

Sanniang walked out of Sun's yard, and raised her eyes to see that on the road leading to the Hanging Flower Gate, Mama Chang and Mrs. He were stopping on the side of the road to talk. The three people over there obviously also saw Sanniang out of the yard. Mrs. He whispered something to Mama Chang, and then walked back to Sanniang.

"Third Miss." Mrs. He shouted with a smile.

Sanniang smiled and nodded: "Mrs. He." ”

Mrs. He looked at Sanniang carefully: "When I saw Miss San from afar that day, I felt that you were a little different from other young ladies. The third lady is not only smart, but also kind-hearted, and He Tang is here to thank her. So saying, he bent down and bowed down.

Sanniang hurriedly raised her hand to stop: "Mrs. He is serious, and Sanniang has not done anything, so she deserves to worship you." And you are an elder, isn't this a discount for my life? ”

Mrs. He smiled bitterly when she heard this: "I'm an elder...... You must be clear. As for whether you have helped, I am not blind, and I just asked Mama Chang, so I naturally understand better. She just saw Mama Chang looking at Sanniang in Sun's room, she just felt a little strange, and then she heard Sanniang say that, Sun's attitude changed, and she didn't think much about it. It's just that when I waited for Sun's return gift, I was a little suspicious when I thought back to the scene at that time, and when Chang Mama sent her out, she tested it to Chang Mama, although Chang Mama didn't say anything, but she has read countless people and experienced some ups and downs over the years, and understands that sometimes attitude is more revealing than words.

Sanniang smiled slightly: "Sanniang just said that those who have done bad things should naturally be punished, and if they are wronged, God will naturally bless them." Madame has extraordinary knowledge and good conversation, and she is not the one who is a traitor. ”

Mrs. He also smiled when she heard this: "The love of the third young lady is recorded by the He family." ”

Sanniang didn't say much, but smiled at Mrs. He again, saluted again, and went to Hefeng Courtyard.

Sanniang went back to the courtyard, and Bai Ying took out the two purses that she had just helped Sanniang collect in Sun's room.

Sanniang asked Bai Ying to open the purse, only to see that the red-bottomed begonia gold silk purse given by Mrs. He contained a white jade pendant of Maitreya Buddha.

Bai Ying took the white jade pendant in his hand and looked at it carefully, and looked at the light again.

"Miss, this is a piece of the best mutton fat white jade." Bai Ying presented the Maitreya Buddha pendant to Sanniang's hand.

Sanniang took the jade and looked at it. Although she doesn't understand it very well, she can roughly distinguish between good and bad jade. This is indeed a rare piece of good jade. After thinking about it, she motioned to Bai Ying to open the purse given by Mrs. He Shao.

Bai Ying hurriedly opened the purse of the big red folded branch flower, which contained six golden beads the size of a dragon's eye.

"Ah, Miss, this is a golden pearl." Bai Ying was surprised.

Sanniang was also a little surprised, she thought it was a few gold beads. Remembering that when Mrs. He Shao handed her the purse, she said that it was a small object for her to hold and play with, she couldn't help but shake her head and smile. No wonder the He family will be targeted, presumably some people in the He family show their wealth outside on weekdays, which makes people red-eyed.
