Chapter 27

The fire in Yiyuan in the middle of the night had already alarmed people, and even Xie Mansion at the South Gate knew the news, and sent people to inquire early in the morning.Ruan Hongtian sent people away, and went back to Rongyin Hall together with Mingyu.

Why did Pei Taizhi appear in Care Garden at this time?Does the father know this person?
"Father, have outsiders lived in the garden these days?"

Ming Yu finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked.

"Never." Ruan Hongtian was still in the mess of fireworks in Wangshan Tower in his mind, and he replied casually, and suddenly seemed to remember something, "Mr. He has a friend from Beijing who wants to visit. Knowing that Gu Xuan is from my family, he asked me what I mean first. I naturally agreed. Chen Guanshi sent someone the day before yesterday to say that Mr. Xie’s friend I've arrived, I'm busy, so I just asked him to welcome him in as a guest of honor, but I haven't seen him yet..."

"Do you think this fire is related to that person?" Ruan Hongtian paused, looked at Mingyu in surprise, and shook his head slightly, "Although the fire in Wangshan Tower is strange, it must have nothing to do with the person introduced by Mr. Xie. You Don't think wildly, lest the news spread and offend the Xie family."

It turned out to be so...

Entrusted by Xie Zuiqiao years ago, Mingyu asked Du Ruoqiu about the origin of the Shazhong as soon as he returned to Jiangzhou from Mengcheng, and only then did he know that it was actually made by his family member Gu Xuan.It turned out that the Gu family and the Du family used to live together in the countryside of the neighboring city of You County.The two of them were childhood sweethearts, and they were meant to be engaged.Unexpectedly, a few years ago, a wealthy family in this village fell in love with Du Ruoqiu, and wanted to beg her to be a concubine, but was rejected by the Du family.The rich man held a grudge, and although he didn't dare to force it, he called the local ruffians to come and make trouble.During the fight, Gu Xuan accidentally killed a person and was detained in the county government.Du Xiucai's family was already destitute, and he was afraid that the rich man would come to make trouble again, so he simply took his daughter to the Ruan's family in Jiangzhou, asking for shelter, and asked someone to ask Ruan Hongtian for help.Although the Gu family has been carpentry for generations, Ruan Hongtian has heard of Gu Xuan's name.On the one hand, he cherishes his talents, and on the other hand, he is also a warm-hearted person, so he relied on his relationship to release Gu Xuan from the death row.Years ago, Gu Xuan knew that the eldest girl of the Ruan family had solved Du Ruoqiu's predicament, and was grateful in his heart. Knowing that the eldest girl was only a ten-year-old girl, he took pains to make a clever and interesting sand clock to express his gratitude.Ming Yu had an epiphany at that time.No wonder in the previous life, after Du Ruoqiu became an aunt of the Ruan family, she was in a state of depression all day long, and after his death, Gu Xuan and Du Xiucai went to collect the body together. So there was such a story.Now that she knew it, she wrote to Xie Mingrou to inform her, without thinking much about it.It never occurred to him that it was because of Pei Taizhi that he inquired about this years ago.

Since Emperor Zhengde wanted to offer sacrifices to the heavens and patrol the south of the Yangtze River, it was reasonable for Pei Taizhi, as a bodyguard, to come here in advance to arrange inspections under orders, or at his own request.He also learned about Gu Xuan from Xie Zuiqiao, so that's why he appeared in the Garden of Care?But I was unlucky to bump into a place like this.The emperor's royal driver is coming, and Yiyuan is the choice to stay here.Last night, he set fire to the jade lock and lost it. If Pei Taizhi checked the jade lock, it would not be difficult for him to find himself.If he had doubts in his heart, regardless of other things, he would just say a few words on the imperial premise in the future, I'm afraid it would make the emperor feel suspicious of Rong Yintang.

Ming Yu was extremely depressed, and couldn't help another burst of anxiety, blaming herself to the extreme, but couldn't think of any good way to remedy it.At that time, if the matter is exposed, just say that the jade lock was accidentally thrown outside, and deny everything else?Or, try to ask Xie Zuiqiao to plead with Pei Taizhi to excuse him?I'm afraid it's not only useless, but also gives people a handle.

As soon as Ming Yu returned to Yilvlou, she called Du Ruoqiu and asked Chunyuan to accompany her to Yiyuan.

After learning about the past between her and Gu Xuan years ago, Ming Yu promised to help them both in the future.From then on, Du Ruoqiu was even more devoted to this big girl.At this time, when I heard that I was sent to Yiyuan to search for Gu Xuan to inquire about things, I was completely willing in my heart.After carefully listening to Ming Yu's instructions, he and Chun Yuan hurried over in the carriage that the mansion's servants left, and returned in the afternoon. Seeing Ming Yu, he said, "He said that yesterday, Guanshi Chen took a man from the capital. A person surnamed Pei came over and asked him many questions about the construction. He knew that he was a distinguished guest of Mr. Xie from the General's Mansion, so he didn't dare to neglect him, and he stayed with him all day. The guest asked a lot of questions, so he took out a book and told him Together, he studied the organs listed in the book and did not rest until evening, so he was arranged to live in the guest room. I don’t want the guest to leave early in the morning because of the fire in the Wangshan building last night.”

Ming Yu told everyone to go down, and sat silently facing the window for a while.The previous chaos gradually subsided, and my heart slowly became clear.After thinking about it carefully, he got up and went to find Ruan Hongtian.

Ruan Hongtian finished discussing with Liu Shenghe in the study, and when he saw his daughter coming, he called him in.Seeing that her eyelids were slightly swollen, as if she didn't sleep well last night, she felt distressed and said, "I must have been frightened last night and didn't sleep well. What are you doing here and there? Your mother is taking a nap, so you also accompany her Just sleep together."

Ming Yu came to him, bowed her head and knelt down slowly.

Ruan Hongtian was startled, and hurried over to help her up, Ming Yu shook his head and said, "Father, my daughter did something without telling you, and she didn't want to put Rongyin Hall in danger, please punish her."

Ruan Hongtian was startled, and squatted in front of Mingyu, looking at her suspiciously.

"Father, I set the fire on Wangshan Tower, if you are angry, just hit me!"

Ruan Hongtian looked at Mingyu, and suddenly shook his head and said, "Ayu, since you confessed yourself, why did daddy beat you? After coming back this morning, daddy thought about it carefully, and thought that it probably had something to do with you. Wangshan There is absolutely no source of fire in the building. It used to be well kept from burning. As soon as you passed by, it lit up. How can there be such a coincidence in this world? Dad knows your thoughts. It’s not like you didn’t think about what you warned Dad before However, there is some truth to it. You are afraid that Dad will not be able to earn money from the Vanity Fair, so you went to set fire to kill me? The building burned down, but it was all external things..."

Ming Yu suddenly raised her head, stared at Ruan Hongtian with wide eyes, was extremely surprised, and said in a trembling voice: "Father, you really don't blame your daughter?"

Ruan Hongtian sighed, and suddenly frowned his thick eyebrows, his voice was already a little harsh: "It's just that you are too bold and reckless. How dare you set fire without telling father! It's only because I pamper you so much that I raised you so fearlessly Don't be afraid! What happened this time, let it go in the past. If you dare to do this again in the future, father will never forgive you lightly!"

Ming Yu hurriedly replied yes, and then said in a low voice: "It's just that father... daughter still has something to say, this matter is more serious than my setting fire just now."

"Worse than arson?" Ruan Hongtian looked at his daughter, and his heart beat again.

Ming Yu nodded, and told about the encounter with Pei Taizhi last night and the loss of the jade lock, but did not mention his identity as the commander of the imperial guards.

Ruan Hongtian frowned tightly: "There is such a thing! Did he hurt you?"

"No," Ming Yu shook her head hastily, "Father, since that man is a friend of Young Master Xie, he must also be a well-connected person in Beijing, so he may be hiding his identity and doing things now. Don't say he made a big fuss about my arson Even if I mention it a little in front of caring people, I am afraid that my family will be charged with crimes. Although this matter is big or small, it is irrelevant. It is only related to the safety of my family, so my daughter dare not take it seriously, so my father knows , it’s good to take precautions.”

"This..." Ruan Hongtian stood up, pulled Mingyu up from the ground, thought for a while, and said, "Either father goes to find Mr. Xie, and asks him to mediate."

Ming Yu knew Pei Taizhi's temperament to some extent.Even if he didn't think much about it now, if his father really went to look for him, I'm afraid Shengsheng would cause more suspicion and disgust.He is also a close minister next to the emperor, and he has no friendship with Rong Yin Tang, so why should he think about the Ruan family?It is inevitable that there will be some troubles.If today is not beautiful, since there is an accident, it is easier to weigh the two.He hurriedly said: "Father, this actually puts the blame in someone's hands. If he tells people that I, Rongyintang, don't want to take over, and then sets fire to the building himself, wouldn't that be a heinous crime?" My daughter thinks about it, but now I have no choice but to draw my salary from the bottom of the pot. Dad went to thank you, and agreed to take over the car. In this way, even if someone mentions that I set fire to the building in the future, you can just say that I have a seizure in the middle of the night, and you will never Involved in other crimes. The emperor is here, as long as father firmly remembers the things in the picture book, treat him well according to the regulations, be careful, so that the emperor and many princes can't find fault, and it won't be a big deal .”

Ruan Hongtian thought about it carefully, and finally stretched out his hand to touch her head, and sighed: "After much deliberation, it's only what you said. It's just Ayu, dad will tell you again, just this once, from now on In the future, you will not be allowed to hide things like this. You are my father's daughter, and my father only wants you to write poems and play the piano every day as before, and I will do other things by myself. "

Ming Yu was moved.How blessed I am to have such a father who blindly protects my shortcomings.He even set fire to his Wangshan Tower and accidentally made a mess of things, and he just blamed them lightly.At this moment, Ming Yu wished she could throw herself into Ruan Hongtian's arms to hug him again, she held back her strength, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Ruan Hongtian thought for a while, ordered the horses to be prepared, and hurried out of the study, heading towards Xie's mansion at the south gate.

Ming Yu looked at the back of his father disappearing at the door, with mixed emotions in his heart, and finally heaved a long sigh.I spent all my time thinking and made a big circle, never dreaming that now I can only turn back to the original point, Fu Xi?Woe?
After Xie Zuiqiao bought the Yu Garden, he called someone to repair and tidy it up. He heard from Gao Jun that it was almost done, so he galloped over to have a look.

"Young master, can you watch it? If there is something wrong, I will ask someone to fix it."

Accompanied by Gao Jun out of the garden gate, he asked.

Xie Zuiqiao said casually: "No need, I think it looks good. There is no need to worry about it. Go back and talk to your uncle and aunt, and we will move here in a few days."

Gao Jun knew that his son didn't pay much attention to these things, so he smiled, and looked back, and saw that the stone slab embossed with the name of the garden on the lintel of the garden gate was not covered with dead grass, but it looked a little old, and the side The corner was also cracked, which was not very beautiful, so he said: "The man in front named this garden. Although I am a rough person, I think it is a bit girly, and this stone slab is also old. Now that it has changed hands, Young master, why don't you change the name of the garden, write it yourself, and I'll ask someone to engrave it on it."

Xie Zuiqiao also looked back and said, "No need. That's a good name."

"My lord thinks it's good, just let it go."

Xie Zuiqiao smiled, rode his horse across the arch bridge on the river in front of the gate, headed for the state government office, entered the side gate, and just threw the reins to the boy who came to meet him, then he heard the boy say: "My lord, Jing Zhong in Jingyong Mr. Pei from the Hou Mansion has arrived and is talking with the master in the study."
