The next day, Mid-Autumn Festival.

In Yao's mansion, Yao Yu rushed back at the dinner time.

In the past few days, Yao Junshou has been so sick that he can't get out of bed.

As soon as Yao Yu returned to Taohua County and saw his sick father, he went to Daci Temple on the outskirts of the city to pray for his father.

He stayed in the monastery for several days on end.

Until today's Mid-Autumn Festival, Yao Junshou remembered this concubine and ordered someone to go to Daci Temple to pick him up.

Yao Junshou's illness has indeed improved, and when he saw Yao Yu, he finally had a smile on his face.

The father and son talked about the rainy days in Linquan County some time ago.

Yao Junshou praised: "You did that thing well, not only did you gain a good reputation, but also handled the Chen rice in the yamen treasury for your father." ”

That batch of old rice has been hoarded for many years, and it can't be sold in Taohua County.

But Yao Yu pulled the strings, asked Jiang Song to buy it at a low price, and returned to Linquan County to sell it to civilians at the original price.

Jiang Junshou was naturally satisfied, and couldn't help but glance at Yao Yu.

And Yao Junshou was also happy to be a favor, and even looked at Yao Yu with a little more love.

"Yu'er, you have been training in Linquan County for a few years, you have grown your skills, and you have won the favor of Jiang County Shou, and you will be promoted."

Yao Junshou's illness was not yet fully cured, and he coughed profusely after saying a few words.

Yao Yu was busy serving tea and water to his father, beating his back and handing a handkerchief, like a filial son.

His eldest brother Yao Qin pushed the door in and said with a smile: "Dad, the meals are all set, I will invite my father to move to the hall to eat." ”

"Okay, Qin'er."

Yao Qin stretched out his hand to hug Yao Junshou, and Yao Yu also leaned over to help him.

But Yao Junshou pressed most of the weight of his body on Yao Qin, coughed and grabbed his eldest son's arm and stood up.

Yao Yu was empty-handed and stunned.

Yao Qin helped Yao Junshou walk a few steps, turned around and said with a strange smile: "Second brother, don't you even recognize the road at home?" ”

He is two years older than Yao Yu, but he has not grown up in reading since he was a child, and he has not yet been promoted.

Yao Yu has been training outside for more than half a year, and Yao Qin still stays at home, just fooling around with a group of fox friends and dogs every day.

"Big brother laughed."

He walked behind, staring at his father's back, his heart tingling slightly.

At the dinner table, Yao Junshou was in poor spirits, and sat for a while before going back to his room to rest.

Without his father present, Yao Qin's mouth full of amorous gossip poured out.

The concubine of this Gangna ran away with the little maid in the family, and the old man was caught in the main house for picking up ashes......

He said with a fluttering eyebrow, causing the man at the table to laugh.

Mrs. Yao just looked at him with disgust, and ordered the maid's daughter-in-law to lead the younger brother and sister down first.

Yao Qin was full of nonsense, and everyone let him speak.

Yao Yu sat at the table in silence, not showing the slightest interest in their topic.

He originally wanted to sit silently until the banquet and go back to the room, but Yao Qin didn't intend to let his cousin go like this.

"Have you all heard? Yesterday in Daci Temple, a woman fell from the tower and died. ”

Someone immediately nodded and said, "Of course I heard that the monks and pilgrims in the temple were so frightened that they said that they had broken into a meatloaf." ”

"You don't want to think about it, that tower is more than a dozen stories high, who doesn't break it if it falls, and the brains are bloody and fleshy?"

Mrs. Yao complained: "Okay, don't talk about this at the dinner table, eat the vegetables." ”

"Speaking of which," Yao Qin turned to Yao Yu beside him and said, "Didn't the second brother happen to be in the temple yesterday?" ”

Yao Yu nodded and said, "Yes, I have been living in Daci Temple for the past few days to pray for my father." ”

Yao Qin couldn't get used to his cozy face the most.

"Heh, it seems that the second brother is sincere, and he really hopes that our father's illness will be cured. The famous doctors I hired all eat grass and don't run, right? ”

Others coaxed: "What Da Lang said, if knocking on the wooden fish can cure the disease, wouldn't the medical hall on the street be closed down a long time ago?" ”

Yao Yu was indifferent and smiled lightly: "Big brother has always been funny. ”

Yao Qin leaned over suddenly, stared at his calm face, and said in a low voice, "I heard that the second brother went to the top of the tower yesterday?" ”

"Listening to the abbot, climbing the tower to pray for blessings is the most effective."

Yao Yu's eyes were deep, his smile was warm, he looked at Yao Qin, and replied, "I will go every day." ”

"That woman fell to her death yesterday afternoon," Yao Qin's smile changed, "Our second son Yao was also there at that time, right?" ”

Yao Yu replied: "Yesterday afternoon, I was reading in the wing, and I had a personal servant as evidence. ”

Yao Qin smiled lightly and said, "Good brother, what are you nervous about?" I didn't say that you pushed that person down. ”

He saw that Yao Yu's answer was not leaking, and he had no intention of continuing to tease him.

Yao Yu raised his lips and smiled: "It's strange to say, the eldest brother and the woman are probably more familiar." ”

Liu Ruying often goes in and out of restaurants and other places to plead with Yao Qin for her brother Liu Rusong, and she has indeed met Yao Qin several times.

"I heard that the woman was still pregnant with a child in her belly."

Yao Yu sighed and said meaningfully: "Big brother, why did you, the old man, die the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival?" ”

Yao Qin didn't cause a lot of romantic debts, and as soon as Yao Yu said it, he immediately turned his face and said, "How do I know!" ”

When Mrs. Yao saw that Yao Yu poured dirty water on Yao Qin, she was immediately displeased: "It's rare for a family reunion, do you have to say something that spoils the fun?" ”

Everyone no longer mentioned Liu Ruying's death after falling from the building.

Yao Yu was about to leave the table, Yao Qin suddenly raised his glass and said: "Second brother stay, I am afraid that the opportunity for you and my brother to meet in the future will be less and less." ”

He sat up straight and said with a smile: "I am busy with official business, and I rarely have the opportunity to go home to visit relatives. ”

Yao Qin smiled strangely, shook his head and said, "In the future, the eldest brother will go to Beijing to take up a post, and I am afraid that you will not have a chance to see each other." ”

"Come, our brother has a drink, I wish your eldest brother a smooth career and a prosperous future."

He raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, brightened the bottom of the glass to Yao Yu, and smiled defiantly.

If a waste like Yao Qin can get a position in Beijing, naturally Yao Jun will be behind to pave the way for him and do everything.

Yao Yu's heart was terrifyingly cold, he drank all the wine in the cup, and said with a smile: "Big brother should be a model for my generation." ”

Nguyen family.

Before going to the table, Wei Changsheng whispered to Ruan Si that the government had detained Liu Weiming, but Liu Rusong's whereabouts were unknown.

He should have gotten the news and left his father to take the opportunity to run.

Ruan thought for a moment and smiled indifferently: "It's okay." Don't talk about it tonight. ”

Liu Rusong's straw bales can't set off any waves.

She heard last night that Liu Ruying fled to Daci Temple, hid at the top of the tower, and accidentally fell to her death.

The government thought that she had fallen down, and had ordered the people of the Liu family to go to the yamen to collect the body.

The Liu family should also know.

Ruan Si was worried in his heart and looked at Liu's gentle and peaceful face.

Liu Shi noticed his daughter's gaze and smiled at her: "Qiaoqiao, this is your favorite crystal shrimp dumpling." ”

She personally sandwiched a shrimp dumpling for Ruan Si.

Ruan Tangying, who was beside the Liu family, drank a few glasses of wine, and was already blushing and shouting thickly, pulling Wei Changsheng and Yan Yingzhou to make a fist.

"Jojo, it's a holiday tonight."

"Hmm. We don't want anything. ”

Ruan Si also gave Liu Shi a chopstick dish.

Liu said: "There should be a lantern festival by the river tonight, you young people like to join in the fun, let's take your husband out for a walk after dinner." ”

She couldn't bear to worry her mother, so she nodded and agreed.

But Ruan Si vaguely remembered that something happened to the Yao family at the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival in his previous life.
