Chapter 137: Speculation

After drinking the tea, Hua Chen's brows were like the tea leaves in the tea cup, completely stretched.

He raised his eyebrows, and seemed to have a little eyebrows fluttering, "Sister, my classmates in the academy told me a piece of news today. ”

"What's the news?"

"The emperor has issued an order to cut the titles of Marquis of Yangping and Earl Guangchang, and at the same time, Qiu Xiangming, the prefect of Qingzhou, was also cut."

Although it has been more than a few months since I came to this strange era, for Hua Jin in the deep boudoir, looking at the things in the court is completely like looking at the moon in the fog and looking at the flowers in the water.

But at this time, when I heard my brother say such news, I couldn't help but be shocked.

A holy decree cut off one official and two lords, and they were all in Shandong, and the three people in this news were no strangers.

Guangchangbo was once the in-law of his sister Hua Hui, that is, Zhao Xin's family.

Although Qiu Xiangming, the prefect of Qingzhou, was unfamiliar, his daughter Qiu Wanyao almost burned them to death in the inn.

As for Yang Pinghou? When Hua Jin went to Changyi this time, he also heard his aunt mention that he was also a century-old family in Laizhou.

Wait a minute! It seems that something has surfaced little by little......

If these three people are still related to someone, then this person is Xuanfei.

Xuan Fei once went to Leling, where Guangchangbo's Zhao family was located, and also inquired about the secrets in the deep mansion of Zhao's mansion.

And walked with them all the way to Laizhou, where the Hou family in Yangping was located, and met Qiu Wanyao on the way and entered her house.

Could it be that Xuanfei hid his mysterious identity just to spy on the evidence of these people's crimes? Also includes him entering Qiu Wanyao's house to seduce him?

Seeing Hua Jin's tightly locked brows, Hua Chen couldn't help but reach over the kang table and tapped her forehead very lightly, "What are you thinking about in your little brain?" ”

Hua Jin came back to his senses and glanced at Hua Chen, who was sitting across the kang table, "Brother, did your classmates in the academy say what crimes these people were convicted of and what sentences they were sentenced to, where are they being held now?" The most important thing is, "Brother Xuan has gone back to the academy to attend classes?" ”

Hua Chen was a little dazed by these two unrelated questions, he scratched his head, straightened out his thoughts and replied: "I heard that they are all guilty of sea smuggling, and Qiu Xiangming also has one for being an improper official, bullying the people, and bending the law for bribes." ”

He leaned over again and whispered: "How many years have the imperial court promulgated the sea ban policy, and there are still people who dare to do maritime smuggling trade. These ironclad people will definitely not survive, and their families will all be exiled to the bitter cold land of the northwest. ”

In other words, Zhao Xin and Qiu Wanyao were exiled to the northwest together?

This is encouraging news.

Hua Jin couldn't help sighing, if my sister hadn't reconciled, she would have suffered the sin of exile today.

Now, thankfully!

Hua Chen also said: "Thanks to my sister, I have already left." He continued: "These people were secretly escorted to Beijing, and now after being convicted, they have been escorted to the prison of the Criminal Department by Jinyi Weizhao Prison and are ready to be executed." ”

So quietly and quickly?

Jin Yiwei? These three words jumped into Hua Jin's mind for no reason, and he couldn't help but think of the image of Jinyiwei built in his previous life, wearing a flying fish suit and holding an embroidered spring knife, mysterious and cold.

Don't......

Hua Jin quickly denied his idea again, although Xuan Fei was cold and cool, he was not cold.

And in his mysterious temperament, there is a little more innate nobility.

While thinking about it, I heard my brother's anxious words again, "Brother Xuan still hasn't come to the academy, and there is no news at all, which is really anxious." ”

Hua Jin stretched his eyebrows and raised his lips and smiled, "Brother don't worry, Brother Xuan will appear in these two days." ”

The two brothers and sisters sat and drank tea and chatted again, and soon it was time for morning and dusk.

In the Chaohui Courtyard, the eldest lord also talked with Mrs. Tai about what his brother said in the afternoon. He also instructed the eldest master to be more steady, and when this gust of wind has passed, he will go out to prepare for the debut.

Seeing that their juniors came to say goodbye, they gradually accepted the topic.

When the Chaohui Courtyard became quiet again from the noise, even Mother Hang, who was usually unusually serious, let out a long breath and couldn't help but sigh: "It's still Mrs. Tai's decision to be wise, otherwise the smuggling of Luo and his brother at sea will definitely implicate the Hou Mansion to some extent." ”

Mrs. Tai bowed slightly, and there was no wave on her face, "Luo is also a well-deserved death." ”

…………

The next day, when the weather was warmest at noon, Hua Jin took a carriage out of Zhangfu.

The purpose of her trip this time was to find Du Niangzi, the embroiderer who once taught embroidery as still life sketching.

Hua Jin wanted to invite Du Niangzi to the house to teach embroidery, and the third lady Liu was also very interested when she heard the news, and said that she would give half of the silver, so that several girls in the third room would also learn together.

It's just that it wasn't Hua Jin who invited Du Niangzi to the mansion at the beginning, and the handler Du's mother had already arrived in Zhuangzi, and after hearing the news of Luo's death, she was even more ill and dying.

Hua Jin only remembered that he heard that Du Niangzi had worked as an embroiderer in an embroidery workshop on West Street, and he came out to look for it when he saw that the weather was good today, and also bought some things for his brother that could be used in the next exam.

Hua Jin came to Yinyue Building, which is the largest embroidery workshop on West Street in Dezhou.

Visiting the embroidery workshop, Hua Jin couldn't help but think of his sister Hua Hui.

They now have a lot of money in their private house, and their sister likes embroidery the most, so it is also a good choice to open an embroidery workshop when she comes back.

Hua Jin picked a kang screen embroidered with winter plums, and this embroidery was also from Du Niangzi, but I heard that Du Niangzi went to an embroidery workshop in Beijing a year ago.

It seems that the embroidery teacher can't be invited, Hua Jin is slightly regretful, and ordered Zhitao to leave the embroidery workshop and get into the carriage with the kang screen.

"Fifth girl, since Du Niangzi can't find it, can we go to other embroidery workshops to have a look?"

Hua Wei shook her head slightly, and pointed ahead from the curtain of the carriage, "Isn't there a Wenyuan Pavilion over there, go over and take a look." ”

Zhitao instructed the coachman to drive, and Bai Tao intimately put a sheepskin mattress on Hua Jin's feet, "It's not yet spring, so don't freeze carefully." ”

The carriage probably only traveled for a while, then stopped again, and Zhi Tao lifted the curtain and said happily: "Fifth girl, Wenyuan Pavilion has arrived, and it is the first time for the slave maid to come here." ”

After getting out of the carriage and entering Wenyuan Pavilion, a guy greeted him and said politely, "What do the girls need?" ”

Zhi Tao replied: "Our girl wants study utensils. ”

Hua Jin's gaze fell on the tall cabinet in the center of Wenyuan Pavilion, and he raised his finger and pointed, "It's not bad to give the Duan Yan engraved all the way to Lianke to my brother!" ”

The guy listened and praised: "This girl has a really good eye! The conversation changed again, "It's a pity that this inkstone is not for sale." ”

Hua Jin also saw a small wooden sign standing next to the inkstone, which read: Not for sale, only for appreciation.

Hua Jin retracted his gaze and saw the shopkeeper walking out of the room, "The girl has a good eye, there are some treasures of calligraphy and painting in the room, if the girl is interested, you might as well appreciate it." ”

The shopkeeper came out of the inner room only after listening to her voice, and she didn't say anything special, could it be that someone inside heard her voice.

Hua Jin glanced around, then bowed slightly, and walked in with the white peach and the peach.

As soon as I stepped in, I saw a young man standing with his hands in his hands, wearing a dark robe, and his posture was still the same as yesterday.

It's really Xuanfei......
