Daughter of aristocratic family

After learning that Zhao Wangshu met Beijiang Xizuo again and almost had an accident, Yun Hao didn't bother to interrogate the shopkeeper and went straight to Zhao's house.

It's just that Zhao Wangshu is still outside, eating sweet-scented osmanthus fermented rice with Yao Shanzhi and Xu Danyang.

Yun Hao waited at Zhao's house until noon before seeing Zhao Wangshu come back. He grabbed her hand and looked up and down, "Are you okay?"

Zhao Wangshu shook his head, "I'm fine, don't worry."

"Should you let Tianying Tiangui continue to follow you?" Yun Hao regretted listening to Zhao Wangshu's words and transferred the two secret guards away.

"Tianying and Tiangui are overqualified for following me." Zhao Wangshu held his hand, "Meeting Beijiang Xizhuo was just an accident, normal."

"One accident is enough. You've already had two. It's a blessing to have a chance to escape." Yun Hao pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.

"And the capital city not only has fine works from Northern Xinjiang, but also fine works from Di, Xile, and Xinshao. Be good, be obedient, and let Tianying Tiangui follow you. Don't let me worry, okay?"

Listening to his worried and concerned voice, Zhao Wangshu said softly: "Okay, I will listen to you."

When Yun Hao saw that she agreed, he let her go.

"By the way, has the shopkeeper hired someone?" Zhao Wangshu asked curiously.

"It's still under trial," Yun Hao said.

"Then you go back and do your work. I have nothing to do here. I won't go out until Tianying Tiangui comes over." Zhao Wangshu didn't want to delay his business.

"I want to spend more time with you." Yun Hao was a little clingy.

Zhao Wangshu smiled and got into his arms again, "I'm always here. You can stay with me as long as you want."

After all, Yun Hao had business to attend to. After spending some time with Zhao Wangshu, he returned to Long Tingwei's prison to interrogate the shopkeeper.

Lin Fang found a woman who could endure it better than a man. She was bruised and bruised, but she confessed nothing.

However, the shopkeeper named three people under torture and torture.

These three people are all officials in the court. Their official ranks are not high, but their positions are quite important.

One is a doctor from the Qing Dynasty of the Ministry of War, one is a doctor from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the other is a doctor from the Qing Dynasty of the Ministry of Industry.

"Are you sure?" Yun Hao asked coldly, staring at the shopkeeper with burning eyes.

The shopkeeper nodded and said with certainty: "I'm sure, I'm sure, they are not from Northern Xinjiang. I bought them with money."

In order to win Yun Hao's trust, the shopkeeper continued: "Two years ago, a batch of old weapons from the Ministry of War suddenly disappeared. It was Langzhong Huang who sold these weapons to me privately."

"Half a year ago, Dr. Duzhi of the Ministry of Revenue secretly misappropriated some military pay and sold it to me."

"There is also the Minister of Land Cleaning from the Ministry of Industry. He took advantage of his power to sell some official land to me privately."

Yun Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, this news was not trivial.

If what the shopkeeper said is true, then these three people were involved in a major crime: colluding with the enemy country and betraying national interests.

"I will verify it. If you didn't lie, I can let you go." Yun Hao motioned to his men to escort the person back to prison.

He went into the palace to meet the emperor and reported everything the shopkeeper said to the emperor. The emperor was greatly shocked and said, "Look, I want to see who else in the court has colluded with the enemy and corrupted the court."

Yun Hao accepted the order and immediately started investigating.

Even though he had a lot to do, he did not forget to send Tianying Tiangui to Zhao Wangshu to protect her.

August 15th is the Mid-Autumn Festival and Zhao Wangshu’s birthday.

Yun Hao, who was busy with his busy schedule, put aside all official duties to spend holidays and birthdays with her.

In the early morning, Zhao Wangshu got up, washed up, and went to say hello to Mrs. Zhao Cui, "Grandma."     Mrs. Zhao Cui had prepared cinnabar a long time ago, "Grandma, give me some moles."

This little bit of cinnabar on your birthday is a beautiful blessing, "May my darling have a safe and smooth life, without any disasters."

"Thank you, grandma." Zhao Wangshu smiled sweetly.

Then she went to greet Zhao Cheng and Zhao Li, and Zhao Cheng gave her a jade Ruyi, saying, "I wish my daughter everything will go well and she will be safe every year."

Mrs. Zhao Li put a silver-gilt longevity lock on her and said, "May my daughter live a long life and everything goes well."

"Thank you daddy, thank you mommy."

Under their gaze, after finishing eating the longevity noodles, Zhao Wangshu returned to the courtyard with the gifts given to her by her elders.

The maids in the courtyard also gave her birthday gifts, mostly needlework, including handkerchiefs, purses, embroidered shoes, and socks.

"Thank you, thank you very much." Zhao Wangshu rewarded each of them with a silver melon seed.

After a while, Zhao Yin came, "Yue'er, this is a gift from my eldest brother."

What he gave was a painting he drew by himself. In the painting, Zhao Wangshu was playing with snowballs with a mouse made from a handkerchief.

Zhao Yin is good at painting characters, and the Zhao Wangshu he painted is very vivid. In the painting, her eyes are like water-cut autumn pupils, her lips are like cherries, and her skin is like jade.

She is even more cute and charming, holding a handkerchief mouse and playing with the snowballs.

It was almost noon when Yun Hao came over, holding a brocade box in his hand, "Open it and take a look."

Zhao Wangshu opened the brocade box. Inside was a ruby ​​bracelet with rubies inlaid on it. It was so bright and red that it looked like a ball of fire.

"So beautiful." Zhao Wangshu exclaimed.

Yun Hao took her hand and put it on her left wrist.

"Yun Hao, thank you, I like it very much." Zhao Wangshu looked at the ruby ​​bracelet on his wrist with a happy smile on his face.

At noon, the family celebrated Zhao Wangshu's birthday together. In the evening, they gathered in the garden to eat moon cakes, drink wine, and admire the moon.

Looking at Yun Hao and Zhao Wangshu who were affectionately sharing moon cakes, Zhao Cui looked at Zhao Yin who was peeling grapes and eating them, "Yin'er, I hope I can have a granddaughter-in-law during the Mid-Autumn Festival next year."

When Zhao Yin saw that her grandmother was urging her to get married again, she was almost worried to death, "Grandma, I..."

"There's no need to talk about clichés. I just want four generations to live under the same roof during my lifetime." Mrs. Zhao Cui interrupted him.

Zhao Yin said helplessly: "Grandma, I will work hard."

"Just say you work hard." Zhao Cui said angrily.

"Grandma, it's the festival, don't be angry, my grandson will tell you a joke." Zhao Yin obeyed and behaved in order to make his grandmother happy.

Mrs. Zhao Cui looked at her grandson who was trying to please her, and comforted her, but she said, "Tell me, if it's not funny, I'll punish you by memorizing a hundred Mid-Autumn Festival poems."

"Grandma, take a sip of wine first, and then listen to your grandson tell you slowly." Zhao Yin said with a smile.

Mrs. Zhao Cui smiled and took a sip of wine, "Tell me, tell me."

"There was a greedy and stingy official who wanted to find a satisfactory wife, so he sent people to choose from here and there, making the people uneasy. There was a smart man who recommended himself as his matchmaker and asked him what kind of wife he wanted to marry."

"He said, 'What I want is a girl with small cherry mouth, almond-shaped eyes, crescent eyebrows and a fairy face, who doesn't care about food, drink or clothing, and who doesn't gossip much.' Guess what kind of girl the matchmaker found for him ?”

"Brother, your jokes are quite entertaining." Zhao Wangshu curled his lips, unwilling to guess.
