Chapter 203 Exile for a Thousand Miles
Shen Muqing thought of the atmosphere in the house when she entered the house.
"Master, you didn't agree, did you?" She choked with tears in her eyes.
Mr. Min said, "You have to be considerate of the master." He's out of office after all...... I came to beg him for an old man, just because he could guide me through a maze and see who would come forward to grasp the bigger ......."
For Mr. Min's tactful persuasion, Shen Muqing was very grateful.
"I know," Mr. Shen Mu showed a reluctant smile to Mr. Min, "The master has the master's considerations. β
"If only you could be considerate!" Mr. Min smiled bitterly, "Then I'll go first-I'm going to go to Zeng Ju's place to see if I can move him to help me think of a way." β
After Shen Muqing sent Mr. Min away, he turned back to Tingyuxuan.
As soon as he stepped into the door, Shen Muqing lay softly on the big kang near the window.
Shi Jingshu saw that she was pale and mentally exhausted, so she hurriedly sat on the side of the kang and asked her with concern, "What's wrong?" β
Shen Muqing told her about Xiao Sa: "...... I don't know if the people around me are serving well! β
Shi Jingshu only smiled bitterly when she heard this: "Or, let Baimu send some medicine!" β
Shen Muqing shook his head: "As the master said, don't let me contact Xiao Sa in private again." β
Shi Jingshu sighed helplessly, and she didn't know how to comfort her.
"I don't know if there is still suffering waiting for him......" Shen Muqing thought of Xiao Sa, and tears flowed silently, "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land...... I'm afraid I can't even be a civilian...... I used to think it was too naΓ―ve...... In fact, I've only met him a few times, and I never thought I'd have anything to do with him...... If we really live together, with his temper, maybe there will be a small quarrel in three days, and a big quarrel in five days...... But I sometimes think, this is it, this is also the life I have chosen...... When I think of what he has done to me, and how I have done to him, I feel sick in my heart, and I feel that I owe him...... Now he is unconscious, let alone seeking medical advice, and he can't even bring a word of concern...... I'm afraid he'll hate me......"
"No, no." Shi Jingshu listened to the tears coming out, she took a handkerchief and wiped Shen Muqing's tears, "Don't be like this, let Uncle Shen know, you will be sad." β
Shen Muqing took the handkerchief and wiped his tears, but said, "I really hope that Xiao Sa will not live up to the master's expectations of him......"
Shi Jingshu was inexplicable when she heard this, and said in surprise: "Isn't Uncle Shen unwilling to help Xiao Sa?" How do you say such a thing. But what happened? β
Shen Muqing pinched the handkerchief and did not answer, but his expression was very bitter.
At this moment, Shi Jingshu heard the sound of weak footsteps behind the curtain, and gradually walked away.
Her face changed, and she hurriedly lifted the curtain to chase after her, but saw Shen Zhen's back wearing a gray straight jacket.
Ying explained in a panic: "My aunt and grandmother just lay down, and the lord came, knowing that my aunt and grandmother were talking to you, and he didn't let us communicate, so he stood outside the curtain and listened for a long time......"
Thinking about it, Shen Zhen heard the conversation between the two!
Shi Jingshu thought about it and sighed.
Two days later, Shen Zhen asked Baimu to invite Mr. Min to come.
"What's wrong with that kid?" He asked straight to the point.
Mr. Min listened to his tone of concern, thinking that he had changed his mind, and hurriedly said: "Xiao Sa has always been clever, and when he was dragged down to the court staff, he ripped off the jade pendant on his waist and gave it to the two eunuchs who walked with the staff. A hundred rods were beaten, although the skin was open and the flesh was open, unconscious, but it did not hurt the muscles and bones, and the person woke up not long after returning home, but he kept pretending to be unconscious. I went out from you to Zeng Ju's, and there was nothing he could do, and the two of us were worried about his injury, and when we went to see him, he 'woke up'βeven the maid who served him close by him didn't know that he had woken up a long time ago. β
Shen Zhen nodded and said, "You went to see him, so naturally we discussed countermeasures......
Mr. Min said with a smile: "It is worthy of being a child of the Xiao family in Lincheng, and the shot is 100,000 taels of silver tickets." β
Shen Zhen was slightly stunned: "Do you want you to ask Lin Tong?" β
"Exactly!" Mr. Min smiled, "However, instead of asking us to ask Lin Tong, let me find Dai Gui and let Dai Gui help Lin Tong!" β
Shen Zhenliang was silent for a long time.
Mr. Min said in a low voice: "I said that I was too high, Zeng Ju was too straightforward, and there was no one available around him, so please ask the two of us to take the silver ticket to ask Dai Gui, and let Dai Gui come forward to ask Lin Tong." Resignation and investigation can be done for thousands of miles...... Just leave one life behind! β
Shen Zhen smiled coldly: "That Zeng Ju will definitely scold him for being inflammatory, and he is shameless!" β
Mr. Min smiled wryly.
"Did you help him find Dai Gui?" Shen Zhen asked again.
Mr. Min frowned: "Dai Gui followed Dai Shenghui to Xuantong for inspection, and he hasn't come back yet." I'm worried that I can't find the right person......" he said, glancing at Shen Zhen with his eyes.
Shen Zhen didn't know what Mr. Min was thinking, pretended not to see it, and said with a faint smile: "Then have you asked Xiao Sa, if Dai Gui is not at home, who else can be trusted?" β
Mr. Min was stunned.
Shen Zhen has said: "We can't protect him for a lifetime. There are some things that he has to make up his own mind! β
After another two days, Mr. Min happily came to tell Shen Zhen: "I really let you tell you right!" I went to ask Xiao Sa, and Xiao Sa heard that Dai Gui was not at home, so he asked me to find Wang Qing......"
Shen Zhen smiled slightly: "Then how did things go?" β
Mr. Min was stunned when he saw this: "Do you guess that Xiao Sa will go to Wang Qing?" β
"Nope!" Shen Zhen smiled, "I thought he would go to Uncle Liang and ask Liang Jimin for help through Uncle Liang......"
Mr. Min was even more surprised.
Shen Zhen changed the topic: "With Wang Qing's three-inch incorruptible tongue, I think that Lin Tong will definitely promise!" β
Mr. Min nodded: "Lin Tong is willing to come forward and think about it!" β
Shen Zhen bowed slightly: "If you can do this, it can be regarded as a good death." β
Jinshang's jealousy of the Emperor exceeded everyone's expectations, and although Lin Tong came forward to intercede, the emperor finally hooked Xiao Sa to exile Yanzhou Wei.
By this time, it was already the beginning of April.
Shen Muqing couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard the news.
What is that place? How come you've never heard of it?
Shen Zhen glanced at his daughter quietly, and spoke directly to Mr. Min: "Yanzhou Wei is on the side of Yazhou, close to Mengdi, although it is remote, but fortunately, his biological mother's maiden home is in Jinzhou, which is a month away. β
Shen Muqing couldn't help sweating on his forehead.
Jinzhou is in the west of Sichuan, which is a bit biased, and Yanzhou Wei is a month's journey from Jinzhou, and it is also close to Mengdi...... Isn't that a barbarian land?
Mr. Min said with a smile: "I heard my fellow branch in the pedestrian division say that I was going to be exiled to Qiongya in Lingnan, but now I thought of Yang Yu, the Sichuan general soldier who died in Sichuan two days ago, and suddenly changed him to Yanzhou Wei. Speaking of which, this guy is a bit lucky! β
Shen Zhen laughed when he heard this. This smile made it uncomfortable to pull his lungs and cough.
Shen Muqing hurriedly stepped forward to stroke Shen Zhen's back.
In February, Shen Zhen suffered from the wind chill and had some coughs, so it turned out that there was such a situation, and it would be good to use a few pairs of medicines. Maybe it's because of his age, the doctor changed seven prescriptions in a row, and even stopped his cough a little. In this way, Shen Muqing postponed the trip to Fujian, and when Shen Zhen saw this, he did not urge her to go to Fujian, so Shen Muqing stayed by Shen Zhen's side ambiguously.
Mr. Min was a little surprised when he saw it: "Your cough is not good yet?" β
Shen Zhen coughed a few more times before he replied to Mr. Min with difficulty: "Several doctors from the Imperial Hospital have come to see it, saying that they are old, and the climate this year is abnormal, so I should pay attention not to get cold." β
Mr. Min nodded.
Shen Muqing brought in the fritillary pear water that was warm on the stove.
Shen Zhen drank it, felt much better, and instructed Shen Muqing: "Let the kitchen cook a few dishes - Mr. Min eats here." β
Shen Muqing glanced at Mr. Min.
Since Mr. Min went to the Ministry of Officials, he has been very busy, and every time he comes and goes in a hurry, he rarely stays at the Shen family to eat.
"Shen Lao's memory is still so good." Mr. Min nodded slightly towards Shen Muqing and said with a smile, "Today is my retirement." β
Shen Muqing breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly pulled the curtain out, and went to the kitchen to ask about lunch in person.
When the sound of her light footsteps faded inaudible, Shen Zhen asked, "Xiao Sa has such a thing, who is coming to the city?" β
Mr. Min smiled: "It's Xiao Sa's third uncle Xiao Nuo." β
Shen Zhen frowned when he heard this.
Seeing this, Mr. Min's heart moved, and said, "You want to meet someone from the Xiao family?" β
Shen Zhen was silent.
"The eldest wife of the Xiao family heard that Xiao Sa had an accident, and turned back halfway. Why don't you let the eldest lady come over? β
"Forget it!" Shen Zhen pondered for a moment, "Those who come are all people who can't be the masters of their own affairs......"
Mr. Min smiled and changed the subject: "I heard from my wife that Mu Qing learned to make a fruit wine called 'Tulip' at home, and it tastes very good, so it's better to let Mu Qing take it out and let us taste it today." β
Shen Zhen also stopped mentioning the matter of seeing the Xiao family, and said with a smile: "That wine tastes a little light, we drink 'Autumn Dew White' today." β
"Oh!" Mr. Min smiled, "'Autumn Dew White'? Is it Muki's new sake? β
"No," Shen Zhen said with a smile, "It was brewed by Shi Lao's granddaughterβshe lived in our house during this time, and she was very compatible with Mu Qing." The two are often mischievous together......"
The two talked and laughed, and soon it was noon, Shen Muqing served the two to eat, Shen Zhen left Mr. Min to play two games of chess, but Mr. Min said something: "...... The son of Chen Xiu, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, held a full moon banquet. β
Shen Zhen couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
But thinking that Mr. Min's sophistication was taught by himself, this disappointment was alleviated a few times. He instructed Mu Qing: "Bring some of the 'tulips' and 'autumn dew' at home to Mr. Min." β
Shen Muqing left in response.
The two talked a few more gossips, and when Shen Muqing went back and forth, "The wine has been sent to Changgui", Mr. Min thanked Shen Zhen, and then left.
Shen Zhen asked Shen Muqing to accompany him to play chess.
Shen Muqing's chess skills are not good, Shen Zhen played two games, it was very boring, he lost his chess pieces, and he had to practice words.
Shen Muqing hurriedly rolled up his sleeves and went to grind ink for Shen Zhen.
As soon as the water dripped into the inkstone, a small servant came outside: "Pang Debao begs to see the master!" β
