Yan Sui couldn't help but laugh and make fun: "What you said is that I really have some talents who are reluctant to give up the eighth master." ”

Buddha Ba knew that the two people in front of him were human spirits, which was a kind joke during the feast.

He also knows his identity, even if he stays by Yan Sui's side, the future will be brighter, and he can't wait to get rid of the shackles of Jinyiwei's identity as soon as possible, and it is the best choice to fade out of the sight of the saint as soon as possible.

The eighth master of the Buddha smiled and bowed his hand, shaking his head and begging for mercy.

Seeing this, Yan Sui and Zhu Youning determined the position of the eighth master of the Buddha, and really exposed this topic and did not mention it.

However, Zhu Youning still missed going home.

As long as Yan Sui persuaded hard, Steward Yan also helped persuade on the side.

It is difficult to be warm, the road is long, and the heavy snow is indeed difficult to walk, so Zhu Youning had no choice but to agree, and said helplessly: "It just so happens that we can also discuss how to cooperate in the construction of the embankment." ”

With the words in court, now that Zhu Youning lives in Bofu, she doesn't have to worry about being criticized, anyway, she is building a dike, for the sake of the country's righteousness, and even the saints approve of it, who will have no brains to criticize it again.

Seeing that Zhu Youning finally agreed, the corners of Yan Sui's lips couldn't help but raise a pleasant arc, and she always felt that the New Year, which was thought to be dull and boring before, has become interesting this year.

It is diametrically opposed to the cheerful atmosphere of the Renyi Mansion.

The blackened ruins of the Jiang Mansion in Zhaopingfang, which were licked by the fire, looked particularly desolate on a snowy night. The flame of the lantern was crumbling by the swirling cold wind.

The main house in the upper courtyard was brightly lit.

Jiang Ge Lao was dressed in a royal blue round-necked brocade wide-sleeved robe, his gray hair was meticulously groomed, and he tied his hair in a bun on the top of his head and fixed it with an ebony hairpin.

He held a white silk in his hand, supported his knees with both hands, and made a golden knife on the embroidered pier. The location of the embroidery pier is under the beam.

In front of Jiang Ge was kneeling his old wife, two sons and three grandsons

Wives and children are all dressed in plain shirts, dressed in linen and filial piety, hugging their heads and crying.

"Sir, you, do you have to be like this! You're slashing our hearts! ”

"Yes, father, please don't do that!"

"Grandfather don't die, grandfather, grandson don't want you to die!"

……

Jiang Ge's old face was calm, his eyes swept over his old wife Wang, and then looked at the tent Jiang Liangzhi and the second son Jiang Liangyu, and finally looked at the three grandsons, and sighed faintly.

"Don't cry. At this point, it's useless to cry. I did not call you to weep for me. You have listened to me and said what you should have said, and you have fulfilled your heart for me. ”

When Jiang Wang, Jiang Liangzhi and Jiang Liangyu heard this, their cries gradually weakened, and they hugged the three children who were sobbing and shut up.

Jiang Ge Lao said: "You all know about this case today." Some people want me to be stinking for ten thousand years, and they slander me for adultery with their own daughters. I can pat my chest and say that even if I am a beast, I will never be able to do it even if I have read the books of the sages. ”

"Father, you are innocent, we all know it!

"Yes, father, let's investigate strictly and see who framed you! Why should you be so stiff that you want to hang yourself! ”

Jiang Ge Lao waved his hand, shook his head with a smile and said, "You guys." I used to say that although you are in the court, you are shallow-eyed, don't you understand it now?

"We've come this far. I don't have any more to live.

"If this case continues to be investigated, my charge of raping my own daughter will be confirmed! When the time comes, don't say that myself, even the reputation that our Jiang family has worked hard to accumulate over the years, will be completely stinky all at once!

"There is such a shameless grandfather, how will Brother Zhi, Brother Hua and Brother Han meet people in the future? How do you gain a foothold in front of people? How do you two hold your head up in officialdom? ”

Jiang Liangzhi and Jiang Liangyu brothers were silent for a while.

It's hard to accept!

"Grandfather, I'm not afraid." Jiang Jingzhi hugged his grandfather's thigh and cried, "I don't want my grandfather to die, I don't want my grandfather to die!" ”

Jiang Ge touched the hair of his eldest grandson lovingly, and sighed, "People, living in the world, there will always be such and such difficulties. Always choose how you should go.

"Now that I've come to this point, I'm helpless. What I said tonight is the last thing I can teach you in my life. You are the male of the Jiang family, you have to be like a man, don't follow those girls' crying, listen to me attentively. ”

When the children and grandchildren heard this, they forcibly suppressed the sadness in their hearts and endured not to cry.

Jiang Ge Lao nodded with satisfaction and said, "If I go, this case will be closed without the bitter master, and no one will force me to be charged." When the time comes, when people mention the rape of my own daughter, they will only say that they are speculation, and if the public opinion is not good, it doesn't matter, you calm down, and soon this turmoil will pass.

"Before I go, I have three things to tell you. Listen carefully. ”

"Yes." Jiang Liangzhi and Jiang Liangyu cried together.

Jiang Ge said: "First." After I left, the eldest inherited the position of the head of the Jiang family. Our family is a big family, and there are many officials in the clan who have been in the name of me over the years. The ancestral house should be repaired, and more sacrificial fields should be purchased, except for those who can't leave as officials in the imperial court, the rest of the people will go to their hometowns if they can return to their hometowns. ”

"Yes. The son remembered. ”

"Second. When I go, among the civil officials and Qingliu faction, our Jiang family will be completely disqualified. In the future, the struggle between the merchant and the clear stream, you can avoid it. ”

"Yes." Jiang Liangyu cried and responded.

Elder Jiang Ge stretched out three fingers again and said solemnly: "This third is the most important point. You treat me as the end of my life, and don't resent anyone. ”

"No!" Jiang Liangzhi choked up and said, "I know that my father is for us, but we also know in our hearts that it is Yan Sui who has harmed you!" It's Shen Mo! It's Fang Jinrui's iron bump, it's the countryman's surname Zhu! ”

"Don't be left-handed." Jiang Ge Lao said in a deep voice: "You all remember to me that the real enemy is not them. ”

"Who's that? You have made up your mind to go today, and your son understands why. For the sake of the entire Jiang family, you are helpless. But the whole hatred will be remembered in our hearts, and he will surely avenge you one day! Father, tell your son who is causing you! ”

Jiang Ge shook his head with a wry smile, slowly stood up, looked up at the beam, and threw the white silk net in his hand.

The cries of Jiang Wang and his children and grandchildren immediately began to howl. Heart-rending and despairing.

But Elder Jiang Ge had already made the stakes clear. If he doesn't die, the person who killed him behind him will continue to investigate, and the crime of raping and killing his own daughter will really be detained on Jiang Ge Lao's head. At that time, not only Jiang Ge's reputation, but also the entire Jiang family will be finished. They understand the reason for this, and they also know that the overall situation is important, and they cannot stop it.

Even though it hurts to the heart, they can't stop it.

You can only keep the enemy firmly in mind that you must take revenge in the future.

Jiang Ge got on the embroidery pier, and the white-bottomed soap boots only showed two white edges at the foot of the robe, which were falling into the eyes of several people kneeling on the ground.

Jiang Ge veteran tied Bai Aya in a knot, stretched Bai Aya with both hands, and put it around his neck.

"Be in a hurry, do not resent, and do not think of revenge. As for why I died, when you reach my position in the court in the future, you will naturally have the opportunity to participate in this matter, and you will know who the real enemy is. In the future, the Jiang family will be handed over to you. ”

When the words fell, Jiang Ge kicked the embroidery pier.

Jiang Jingzhi, Jiang Jinghua, and Jiang Jinghan all screamed, and then they cried, Jiang Liangzhi and Jiang Liangyu hurriedly covered the eyes of the three children.

"Sir...... Sir! ”

Jiang Wang's eyes were red, his eyes were about to split, looking at the feet hanging in the air in front of him kicking back and forth in pain, and finally quieted down, Jiang Wang's heart was really painful, screamed, and covered his heart and collapsed to the ground.

"Mother! What's wrong with you! ”

"Father!"

……

The house was filled with a miserable and desolate color.

Soon, the daughters-in-law and daughters of the Jiang family also heard the news that Jiang Ge had hanged himself, and the whole house was in chaos.

And Jiang Liangzhi, Jiang Liangyu, and the three Jingzi teenagers buried their hatred deep in their hearts. Even if Jiang Ge Lao said that the enemy was someone else when he was dying, they couldn't figure out the reason, but their father didn't want them to continue to be involved in the cruel power struggle.

They recorded the names of Fang Jinrui, Shen Mo, Yan Sui and Zhu Youning viciously in their minds.

※

"Jiang Ge hanged himself?"

It was already early afternoon when Zhu Youning got the news.

Yan Sui nodded and sighed: "Although I expected it, but when it really happened, I still ...... in my heart."

After all, Jiang Ge Lao is a talent to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, Zhu Youning and Yan Sui can see through the truth, how can Jiang Ge Lao not see through it?

knew that he had attracted the emperor's hatred, if he didn't have a happy one. Is it waiting for the emperor to make a bigger move?

Whether it is for his own reputation or for the stability of the family, Jiang Ge Lao's death is inevitable.

Zhu Youning lowered his head and looked at the pale red tea soup in the tea bowl for a long time.

Although the Jiang family and Yan Sui are on opposite sides.

But these things really happened, and they still made onlookers sigh.

After a long time, Zhu Youning said: "The capital is really terrifying. Even a scheming person like Jiang Gelao, who has been in the officialdom for many years, ended up like this. It's really hard for me to imagine how I can survive in this whirlpool. ”

The more he comes into contact with the people of this era, the cleaner Zhu Youning's little sense of superiority as a modern person disappears.

She is now fully integrated into this world, and she doesn't feel that she is any better than the people of this dynasty. She just looks carefully and walks slowly, otherwise she would have to give money to the number of people if she was sold early.

Seeing that Zhu Youning was so lonely, Yan Sui couldn't help but soften her voice and change the topic: "You haven't celebrated the New Year in the north yet, have you?" From now on, every family will be busy. ”

Zhu Youning put away his emotion, and said with a cooperative smile: "I see that someone in our house is sprinkling and sweeping early in the morning." ”

"When the weather is good, I'll take you around. The market was very lively a year ago, so we should also go to buy some New Year's goods by ourselves. ”

Seeing that Yan Sui was in high spirits, Zhu Youning smiled and nodded, putting aside his worries and plans for the future for the time being.

At this moment, Steward Yan came in with a smile and replied: "Uncle, we have found the fast feet to deliver the letter to Hangzhou." Is Miss Zhu ready? ”

Zhu Youning got up happily and said, "It's ready." I also have some things I want to take back, I don't know if it's convenient to bring? ”

"Naturally, it's convenient." Steward Yan smiled.

Zhu Youning immediately left Yan Sui and walked out, "Then I'll go back to the room and get it!" ”

In addition to writing a letter to his parents, Zhu Youning also wrote letters to Li Tuobei and Luo Xun, and also politely wrote letters to greet Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu. In addition, she also prepared some shoes and socks, forehead wipes, hats and the like for Kuaisha to bring back.

Huzi, Feilong Tang and Sixteen also have to stay with Zhu Youning, and they can't celebrate the New Year with Li Tuobei this year. They also wrote a letter to Li Tuobei, and the thick stack of letters were sealed with wax and handed over to the fast feet who delivered the news.

Yan Sui gave the fast foot ten times more than usual, and the other party was willing to go out in time for the New Year.

However, this time, the old and young wives and children in the family can relax for a whole year, and the fast script is also to earn this hard-earned money, which is very satisfying in my heart.

Zhu Youning sent Kuaifoot to the door and stuffed him with a small purse.

As soon as you touch the hard little pimple inside, you immediately know that it is silver! His heart pounded with joy, and he hurriedly put the bag away. Nowadays it is forbidden to trade in gold and silver, and if he is caught, he will be imprisoned.

"I'm tired of this uncle. When you arrived in Fuyang County, you met my parents and family, please carefully observe the complexion of your parents, and then see if the family is okay. When you come back, I have a lot of thanks. ”

"Whoa! Miss, don't worry. Quickfoot rejoiced, and went out the door.

Not long after he left, there was another knock on the door of Bofu.

This time, it was the lieutenant of the palace who came.

"Uncle, Miss Zhu, it's a gift from the palace to send a saint, you two go out to greet you."

Steward Yan's face was full of red light, and he couldn't close his mouth with joy, this time Yan Sui not only had a grievance turned into a good fortune, but now he was even more appreciated by the saints. Steward Yan is happy for Yan Sui from the bottom of his heart.

The eunuch who gave the reward spoke like a pearl, and treated Yan Sui and Zhu Youning the same way, very respectfully.

"The saint gave Fuyang County Zhu's pen, ink and paper inkstone, blue and white porcelain pen wash, pen mountain, pen holder. This Zhu's 'Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce' plaque on one side! ”

Zhu Youning watched his subordinates busy carrying rewards, came back to his senses and hurriedly saluted.

Immediately, the lieutenant also sent the two gold silk pieces and 10,000 treasure bills that the saint wanted to reward Yan Sui.

Yan Sui thanked the lieutenant, gave the reward of silver, and personally sent the lieutenant away.

After returning to the front hall, everyone in the family was surrounding the treasure given by the Holy Lord.

Zhu Youning said: "I think at the beginning, in order to be a jade Ruyi, we trekked through mountains and rivers in the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce. How many young talents' heads were broken and bleeding in the first place?

"But now, with so many things from the Imperial Gift in front of me, I don't feel so excited."

"If you say this, it will make those who hear it jealous and hate you." Yan Sui pouted and smiled.
