Chapter 5: The Public
Whether the water bandit's head is good or not, Wan Jinlan has no time to care.
At this time, Wan Jinlan, who had wrapped himself tightly after bathing, was being reprimanded by Shen Qing.
"Mother, I'm not fine, I'm angry, if you continue to be angry, I'm still distressed."
Wan Jinlan also tried to coax her mother in her usual way, but Shen Qing really wanted to teach her a lesson today, and her face was tense all the time.
"Do you think you'll be able to get away with it again and again with some triangular cat skills?"
Wan Jinlan retorted in her heart, even if she is indeed inferior to her eldest brother, but there is no problem in beating three or five second brothers alone, won't she just leave today?
Except for some bruises and purple marks on his body, which looked terrifying, in fact, it was just like that, and it didn't hurt the point.
"Mother, I was wrong, I don't dare to do it anymore, I will be obedient in the future." She grabbed Shen Qing's sleeve and sprinkled coquettishly.
Shen Qing saw that she seemed to admit her mistake sincerely, but her eyes were disapproving, and she was even more angry.
The girl's family doesn't look like a girl's house, tonight there are water bandits, she dares to rush forward, if something really happens, what can I do?
Even if it is to eliminate violence and peace, there is no need for her to be in a girl's house!
"Madam, King Qi is here to inquire about the water bandits."
Shen Qing exhaled a depressed breath, smoothed his breathing, glanced at Wan Jinlan, and went out without speaking.
Wan Jinlan felt bad at this time, and her mother seemed to be really angry.
Chunfu carried the hot soup medicine bowl into the cabin, "Miss drink it and rest quickly, and the maid will push some medicinal oil for you, and there will definitely be no big problem tomorrow." ”
Wan Jinlan knows her body, even if she doesn't drink it, she will still be alive tomorrow, but at this time, she still drank it in peace, after all, her mother will definitely ask.
The owners of the ship were Shen Qing and Wan Jinlan, mother and daughter, and when King Qi investigated the matter of the water bandits, he did not send his subordinates to come, but came in person, and did not enter the cabin, but directly on the deck.
Shen Qing first thanked Xiao Feng, and then asked about the situation of the county lord of Kangping, and when he learned that the county lord of Kangping had a high fever, his brows furrowed.
After inquiring about all the circumstances, Xiao Feng said: "The matter of the water bandits is very important, and when I return to Beijing tomorrow, this king will send someone to ask the second lady of the house." ”
Shen Qing nodded reasonably.
After the conversation, Xiao Feng didn't get any particularly useful news.
The two boats drove side by side, with a wooden plank in the middle, and the river was choppy, Xiao Feng calmly returned to the other boat from the plank in a green coat.
Jiang Yuyu reported: "Master, when you went over there, the county lord of Kangping woke up, and she said that the water bandit was going for her, and she suspected that Wu Shouren had bought the water bandits. ”
Hearing the news, Xiao Feng and the others paused.
The reason why he appeared on Weishui was because half a month ago, he lost a batch of official silver in Weishui, which was 500,000 taels.
The emperor was furious and handed him the errand of retrieving the official silver and finding out the culprit.
Above Weishui, and the area on both sides of Weishui, he has been tracking it day and night these days, and with some eyebrows, he has locked this area.
As soon as I arrived here, I saw a fire on the water.
He thought it was the group of people who robbed the official silver.
But why did the county lord of Kangping say that it was Wu Shouren?
Could it be that Wu Shouren had any dealings with those who robbed the official silver?
The more the case was investigated, the more confusing it became, and the more he felt that the people involved in it were widely implicated.
The next day, after noon, the ship stopped at a pier only twenty miles from Kyoto.
Someone from the Zhenguo Mansion came to pick him up, and Wan Jinlan honestly followed Shen Qing's side.
The Linjiang County Royal Mansion also sent people to pick up the mother and son of Kangping County.
The high fever of the county lord of Kangping has subsided, but there is no worry about his life, but the person is still weak and tight, and he fell into the water after the injury, and it is inevitable that his vitality will be greatly injured, and he needs to live and recuperate for some time.
After two years, seeing the vermilion gate of the Zhenguo Mansion and the stone lion standing at the door again, Wan Jinlan felt very cordial.
Although in the southwest, there are fathers, mothers, and eldest brothers, but in the capital mansions, there are grandfathers and grandmothers, as well as third brothers and brothers and sisters in other houses.
The first Zhenguo Duke followed Taizu to fight the world, and when he was rewarded for his merits after his success, Taizu rewarded a royal mansion of the previous dynasty.
The house covers an extremely wide area, and when it was first appreciated, although it was a little down, but after so many years, it was repaired and modified, and now it looks magnificent and substantial.
However, Wan Jinlan's great-grandfather is not stupid, he said that his merit is high, his father was a house with military merits, and now the Zhenguo Mansion has become one of the best generals in the Great Wei Dynasty, and it should be taboo.
The mansion regulated by the royal mansion, their mansion has been living in, how can it not be eye-catching.
It was in the great-grandfather's generation that the family was divided, and the mansion was divided into two, and it was repaired and repaired, becoming two courtyards one large and one small.
The small one, after being repaired and expanded, is also a big five-entry mansion, and it is given to Wan Jinlan's grandfather's brother-in-law.
Now there is a plaque of the Zhenguo Mansion, which is lived by the great-grandfather.
All the buildings of the public mansion are full of ingenuity, the combination of mountains, stones, plants and trees and various houses, although there is no beauty of Yangzhou garden, but the atmosphere is gorgeous, there is both the roughness of the military general's family, and the heritage of the century-old family.
Wan Zhijing knew that his mother and sister came back today, and it happened that the country's eunuch was resting today, and he was waiting at the door early in the morning.
Walking under the porch, talking to Wan Jinlan, his mouth has never been idle.
"Grandfather's birthday, why didn't my father come back with my mother and sister?"
Wan Zhijing's nose moved, "Sister, why do you smell of medicine?" ”
Shen Qing glanced at Wan Jinlan with a smile, and said angrily: "Your sister is majestic, there was a water bandit last night, she is good, she didn't hide and went on with her fist." ”
Wan Zhijing let out an "ah", and then said: "A while ago, a batch of official silver was lost on the water, and there was a lot of uproar, and there should be sailors patrolling Weishui every day, how can there be water bandits?" ”
"My sister is hurt? Does it matter? ”
Wan Zhijing talked a lot, but Wan Jinlan was not annoyed, but still enjoyed it a little.
The eldest brother is steady, although he also loves her, but he is not like the third brother, who can play with her and play together.
"I'm fine, you see that I move freely, and there is no injury on my body, brother don't worry."
Wan Zhijing praised: "My sister is amazing." ”
Shen Qing snorted coldly, and the brother and sister sneered at the same time.
After walking through the moon cave gate, you will arrive at the courtyard of the old man and the old lady.
In Jinchun Hall, the second and third aunts are there, and there are children in two rooms.
The two rooms and three rooms of the big house are all from the old lady, and the old man did not take a concubine, nor did he have a concubine, so the old lady gave birth to three sons and a daughter, and the daughter was a concubine in the palace.
It can be said that the old lady is extremely blessed, and the lady who envy her in Beijing does not know how much.
