Rebirth of the Abandoned Concubine: The Poison Goddess Doctor

Chapter 65
After fueling the flames, the public opinion quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital, arousing heated discussions among the people, and finally even spread to the court and the palace. Not only did the emperor know about it, but even the empress dowager and empress dowager in the harem heard about it.

Zhou Kang and others did not expect it, and when they realized the seriousness of the situation, it was too late to remedy it.

It was the sensitive period of the official performance examination at the end of the year. The emperor was very concerned about this case which was widely spread and affected the Qi family, Zhou family and Hua family. , Longyan was furious.

Although Li Cangze, the Prince of Chen, interceded for Zhou Kang and Qi Changsheng, Zhou Kang also ended up being demoted to a second rank, and Qi Changsheng was re-judged, sentenced to sixty rods, and imprisoned for three years.Second Master Qi tried many things, owed a lot of favors, and spent a lot of money to donate money to exonerate Qi Changsheng, only to get him out of prison.

During this period, Qi Guogong's mansion was also inevitably implicated. Qi Guogong, who was far away in the western border, pleaded guilty for this, and was scolded by the emperor, but it was not painful.

Hua Yingchu's reputation spread, and people gave her mixed reviews, some thought she was smart and witty, while others thought she was sinister and vicious.

At the same time, there were also rumors that Hua Yingchu and Qi Changjin had an affair, but their identities were too different, and the people who spread it talked about it with gusto, but few really believed it.

The New Year's Eve is approaching in a blink of an eye, and there is joy and excitement everywhere.

After all, Hua Yu is still a child, half a month before Chinese New Year, so he is so excited that he can't sit still all day long.It just so happened that the school was on holiday, so Yingchu picked a sunny day and took him for a walk in the street, and bought some New Year's goods along the way.

There were people coming and going on the street, and there were several times more merchants than usual. The carriages stopped and went, and when they approached the market, they couldn't move because of the congestion, so they got out of the carriage and walked over.

There are more people in the square market than on the street, and it is very bustling. The shops on both sides are full of people, and the sound of bargaining is endless.

Hua Yu's dark eyes became brighter, looking around, his eyes were not enough.

Yingchu took him into a clothing store. She had already made two sets of new clothes for Hua Yu, but if Hua Yu saw something she liked, she could buy a few more.

Hua Yu only chose among the clothes with slightly worse fabrics, and when he finished choosing, Yingchu took three sets of clothes with similar styles from the best fabrics.

"Miss is really discerning!" The proprietress said quickly, "This is the best biluo silk brought from Suzhou. When you touch it, it feels as soft as jade. You can't find a few pieces in the entire capital."

The best biluo silk was sent to the palace, and the ones that could be sold in the market were all defective products.But even if it is a defective product, it is much better than ordinary clothing.

"I just bought these three sets." Yingchu said.

"Sister, it's too expensive," Hua Yu knew it was worth it as soon as he heard it, "Let's buy cheap ones, I'm growing fast, and I'll lose my clothes soon, so it's a waste to buy such expensive ones."

"What a waste, my sister is not short of this little money." Yingchu touched Hua Yu's head, and said to the proprietress: "Wrap it up."

"Okay!" The proprietress said cheerfully, "Miss really loves my brother!" After complimenting Yingchu, the proprietress went to pack the clothes happily.

The three pieces of clothes cost several thousand taels of silver, Hua Yu was both happy and distressed, with an extremely tangled expression on his face.He has been living a hard life before, spending every copper coin, spending a lot of money like today, it is too challenging for his little heart.

Yingchu took him to several nearby shops to buy accessories, shoes, obscene clothes, etc. He also bought a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and the money flowed out.

Hua Yu was tangled all the way, and finally became numb. Hearing that Xing Yu said that all the things her sister bought him before were at this price, she simply broke the jar.

When passing by a teahouse, Hua Yu said: "Sister, I saw a classmate just now, I'll go say hello, sister sit in the teahouse and wait for me for a while."

"Okay," Yingchu no doubt had his answer, "Go and come back quickly, there are many people on the street, you have to be careful."

Hua Yu nodded, watched Yingchu enter the teahouse, then turned and walked back, but instead of seeing any classmates, she walked into a hairpin shop.

Hua Yu squeezed her purse, which contained the pocket money he had saved, and thought it would be enough to buy gold and jade hairpins, but now it seems that she can only buy a pair of earrings for her sister.

There are many people in the store, but most of them are ordinary people.Hua Yu went directly to the second floor, where there were far fewer people, only a few young ladies picking out jewelry accompanied by maidservants.

Seeing Hua Yu coming up, they all turned their heads and glanced at him, as if they were wondering why he, a young man, came to the Chaihuan shop.

Hua Yu's face flushed slightly, she buried her head in choosing earrings, and frowned after a while.

The price of good-looking ones is too expensive, and the cheap ones are not good-looking enough. My sister has high eyesight, so she definitely doesn't like it.Hua Yu looked at almost all the earrings, and finally settled on a pair of peach blossom-shaped glazed earrings. The style is very simple, but the carving is very exquisite.Thinking of the peach blossom-shaped birthmark on her sister's palm, Hua Yu felt that her sister would definitely like this pair of earrings.

"I want these earrings."

"Take out these earrings and have a look."

When Hua Yu spoke, another female voice sounded at the same time.

Hua Yu turned her head, and saw a beautiful and well-dressed servant girl walking up to him at some point, pointing her finger at the earring he was looking for.

The servant girl glared at him and said, "Shopkeeper, I bought this pair of earrings!"

Hua Yu frowned: "Girl, the earrings are the ones I have my eye on first."

"So what?" the servant girl raised her chin slightly, "You haven't paid yet, and this pair of earrings is not yours yet, so I have the right to buy it!"

Hua Yu frowned even tighter, he didn't want to argue with a woman, and this maid knew at a glance that she belonged to a wealthy family, so he didn't want to cause trouble.Reluctantly looking at the pair of peach blossom glazed earrings, Hua Yu lowered her head and started looking for others.

The maid triumphantly bought the earrings, returned to a lady on the other side, and said something in a low voice.

The young lady looked at Hua Yu for a moment, Hua Yu was carefully selecting, and didn't pay attention.

Hua Yu chose another pair of round ink jade earrings. The deep black ink jade is as black and bright as my sister's eyes. My sister's skin is very fair, so it must look good when worn.

Just as he was about to ask the shopkeeper to wrap up the earrings, the maid came over again and said, "I also bought this pair of earrings!"

"You," Hua Yu glared at her angrily, "You did it on purpose!" This maid was clearly looking for trouble.

"I haven't said that you did it on purpose," the servant girl said disdainfully, "Why do you have to snatch everything I like every time? You are a man, and you are shameless when you snatch things from my daughter's house?"
