Lucky not to forget

Chapter 63

The girl opened the door curtain to lead him into the room. She was sitting and combing her hair. The sun shone in through the window drawer, covering her body densely.She turned her face sideways, her cheeks were slightly red, and her hair was full of black hair hanging down to the ground. Shen Xing was originally cramped, but when he saw her laziness in the morning, his heart was hit hard, and he thought of it unkindly. With the fragrance that filled the world that day, his fair face instantly turned into Guan Gong.

Wu Wang was taken aback, peeping at himself, he was not disheveled, why was he blushing, did he regret the immoral things he had done?Speaking of that day...

Then there was a weird scene in the room, a man and a woman only cared about who looked more like a cooked shrimp, a few girls looked down at their toes, the winter was quiet and no one spoke.
After a while, Wu Wang slowed down, thinking that this was not the way to go all the time, so he ordered Liu'er to serve tea, asked Xing Erye to sit down, and said awkwardly, "Second brother came to look for me today, what's the matter?" something?"
The four pairs of eyes stared straight at him, Shen Xing took a breath of cold air, couldn't help coughing, and hurriedly took a few sips of tea before saying, "I'm here to congratulate you, my uncle's case has been sent back to Dali Temple for retrial, now there is the result."
Wuwang's heart almost jumped out of his throat, and he suppressed it forcefully, "The interrogation will be over soon? How about it?"
Shen Xing said, "It's not too fast. The emperor started to investigate the unjust case two years before he took the throne. Yesterday, it was clear that there was an explanation. The confiscated real estate and land deeds are still returned, but there is no way to reverse the case. After all, this is The case judged by Emperor Gaozu was the same not only in our family, but also in other families."
What kind of logic is this to return only the property, but there is no way to overturn the case?My father still couldn't be cleared of the crime, and he still died unjustly. Is there any difference between this and the past?Gu Wang leaned on the dressing table slumped, without any joy at all, and said in a low voice, "So the imperial decree will not be issued? Is it over if I get back the land deed secretly?"
Shen Xing hummed muffledly, seeing that she was about to cry, wanted to comfort her, but couldn't say it after all, so she could only frown and watch the tea in the cup float and sink in the water.
Wu Wang really wanted to cry, her parents lost their lives for no apparent reason, is this how the court handles it?Tian Chan is back, so what about her parents' lives?Can you also send it back?She choked up and said to Shen Xing, "Second brother, no matter how bad my parents are, I finally have an explanation. What about the second uncle? Those Jin Yiwei back then can be punished?"
Shen Xing's hands on his knees clenched into fists, trembling involuntarily, his handsome face was full of forbearance, after a while he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm just a rank-[-] official now, I can't take down Jinyiwei, I have no choice but to endure it for the time being, and when I have a chance in the future, I will always ask them to pay with their blood."
Wang Wang's heart is in a ball again, the second uncle is really similar to Shen Xing, they are both tall, gentle and kind-hearted, such a Confucian scholar like Qingfeng Mingyue, just because he wants to visit his niece in prison, In the end, he was beaten to death, what kind of troubled world is that!Killing is killing, there is no confession, the murderers are still at large, and they are still living a life of showing off their might. What is the difference between this new emperor and his grandfather, he is just a fool!
Shen Xing looked at her miserable face, and didn't know how to comfort her, so he said, "Clean up, go with me to the yamen to get back the deed of the house first, and make a plan early. Go back and discuss it with the grandfather, Zhuangzi's land is sent by himself. If people go to take care of it, it should be rented out to those farmers. I sent people to look at it yesterday. The [-] mu of rice fields outside the city were assigned by the government to Lizheng. Pay some money, and now we have taken it back. I am afraid that those farmers will lose their income and their life will become more and more difficult. It is better to leave it to them to plant. Without the layer of exploitation in Lizheng, let's lower the rent. Those peasant households will be more devoted to tending the fields after gaining profits, what does my sister think?"
Wu Wang pursed his lips and smiled, looked at Shen Xing's eyebrows with distant mountains, and thought to himself that he is indeed a scholar, he is benevolent and meticulous, wouldn't the tenants die happy to meet such a kind-hearted landlord like him!He said, "Sit down and let me change my clothes and go."
Shen Xing stood up and said, "I'm going back to the grandfather and old lady, and I'll pick you up later." After saying that, he went out as if fleeing.
Cuiping couldn't help laughing, "Second Master heard that the girl was going to change clothes and run away so fast!"

Danxia turned Wuwang over, licked her head with osmanthus oil, carefully tied a hanging cloud bun, inserted Nanzhu's comb, and tidied up, Cuiping took plain clothes for her to change into, and Liu'er added some to the stove. He bought two pieces of new charcoal, stuffed them into her hand and said, "It's getting cold so fast, this year it's earlier than usual."
Cuiping nodded and said, "That's right, it's only two months before Chinese New Year, and it's so cold!" He exhaled hot air, "Look, it's like smoking dry cigarettes! My finger hurts from getting water in the morning. I don’t know what’s wrong, summer has just passed, it’s so hot that I haven’t recovered from it, and it’s only been cold for a few days in autumn, and now my nose is freezing again!”
Danxia said, "You guys said, you have stayed in this yard for a long time, and you have lived a life outside the fairyland. You have enough to eat, and you have nothing to do all day long. When it gets cold, you scream like this. Don't you know?" Days don’t come by day by day, you go ask Xiaojuan and Qingtao, they sweep the floor and do laundry, but it’s getting colder day by day?”
Several people laughed for a while, then heard Shen Xing shouting in the courtyard, "How is my sister?"
Liu'er hurriedly put on her emerald-patterned feather satin cloak, sent it outside the door, carefully led her to the corner door, turned her head slightly, and Danxia supported her to follow behind, feeling that the original biting cold wind was not enough for a moment. It's too biting. It's a pity that I can't hold her hand, but knowing that she is behind me, and I can see her as soon as I turn around, it seems that this is enough, and I am lucky to find such a legitimate reason to see her. After that day Although he has moved out of the garden, his heart is tormented day by day. He is like a deserter who was defeated, fleeing all the way, leaving her on the battlefield alone, facing people like Aunt Lan alone. Old lady, this matter has calmed down, and there is no danger at all. Then I thought again, if it really broke out, did the old lady really point her out to him... I shuddered suddenly, it would be too much to think so. If you are a villain, even if you really mean marriage, what's the use if you don't get your heart!Remember when she said that she already had someone in her heart, was it true or was she trying to deal with him?If so, who would it be?She has never met outsiders since she arrived in Yingtian. It is absolutely impossible to say that there is a family in the Northland. Now that there are people, how come there is no news at all?Or did you meet your favorite after arriving in the capital?After thinking about it again and again, a person suddenly jumped out--Lu Zhiyao?There is no one else but him!He and Chunjun escaped the rain in the small temple, and he was vague about the marriage between Chunjun and Brother Lu. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the men were together well, but he disappeared. Later, I heard that Chunjun was also gone. Everyone searched for a long time, but Chun Jun actually returned home. The Qinhuai River is not close to the Xie Mansion. How did she go home as a girl without a car or a sedan chair?It must have been sent back by Sixth Uncle Yao... The more I thought about it, the more bored I became, my steps became heavier, my hands and feet became cold, and the only thing left was helplessness.He was sent an official at the end of the year, and the sixth uncle stayed in Beijing. They had a lot of time to be in love with each other, and he had no chance of winning. It was a pity that he had been in love with her for more than ten years, but it ended so badly in the end. Fate is indeed embarrassing!
Walking outside the corner gate, Qianqiu had been waiting in a carriage for a long time, his lips were a little purple from the cold, when he saw them he quickly rubbed his hands, he brought a red-painted footstool from the back of the carriage and placed it on the ground, he bowed to support him Wang got into the car and drove slowly towards Dali Temple.
After about two cups of tea time, we arrived at the main gate of Dali Temple. Danxia got out of the car first, and Wuwang got down with her skirts up. She stood under the steps and looked at the plaque of Dali Temple. , where you can redress someone's grievances, just put on a show for the world to see.
Shen Xing said in a low voice, "Let's go, just go to the Tong Zhi's place to draw a bet, and you will recognize the Tong Zhi, who is the Sixth Uncle Yao of the Lu family."
Wu Wang was a little surprised that Lu Zhiyao was serving as a magistrate in Dali Temple, while Shen Xing went to Beiping to be a judge. Beiping is just a local government office. First of all, it really is different if there are people in the imperial court to help. Perhaps the prudent Beiping General Judge was sent because of the uncle's face. If a commoner becomes an official, he might be sent to Yunnan and Sichuan!
Entering the yamen, walked around a few corridors, walked to a high pavilion, stood at the bottom of the steps and called out to Mr. Lu, after a while Lu Zhiyao came to the door, and saw him wearing a black gauze hat , wearing a blue tunic collar shirt, with a plain silver belt around the waist, with medicine jade on it, a three-color flower brocade ribbon, and a green silk net under the ribbon, a silver ribbon ring, and a egret patch woven with silver thread, It was a different kind of majesty.
His eyebrows were black and slender, his eyes were calm, and his lips were serenely pursed. When he saw them coming, he only said softly, "Come in." Then he turned and entered the room.Wu Wang was very puzzled, this person was so stable and capable in the Yamen, compared to the previous few encounters, he was not the same person at all.
Shen Xing had obviously gotten used to the strangeness, nodded at Wuwang, and led her into the house.Lu Zhiyao pointed to the chairs under the window for them to sit on, and then ordered the yamen servant, "Serve Mrs. Xie and Miss Xie tea." He turned to search under the high cabinet full of official documents, and took a long time to pull out a stack of files. , gave all the house deeds and land deeds one by one to Wu Wang, and said, "If there is no doubt, mark it on the booklet. These official documents have been approved by the Minister of Dali Temple, and you can take it back directly after drawing the mark."
Wuwang nodded, holding a thick stack of property contracts handed down by the ancestors of the Liu family and sighing, Lu Zhiyao suddenly said, "It's so cold, it's freezing? Can I send someone to gather a brazier?"
Wu Wang hastily said, "No need, you are full of documents and files here, it will be a big deal if there are sparks, I have a hand stove, and I don't feel cold."
The two of them came and went, and Shen Xing couldn't help but feel colic in his heart when he heard what he said was full of concubine love.Since they are affectionate and righteous, Chunjun has been suffering outside for so many years, and Sixth Uncle Yao has his own ideas. He is not like himself looking forward and backward, thinking that he will give Chunjun a good home in the future. Reluctantly said, "I don't know what the old house has become, I'm afraid it needs to be greatly repaired, it just so happens that I will go to Zhenjiang to do some business, and my third uncle and Shen Du went to Suzhou again. If you have trivial matters, please ask Uncle Six."
Lu Zhiyao naturally agreed.After sitting for a while, the two got up and said goodbye. Lu Zhiyao went straight to the gate of the yamen, carefully mounted his horse and followed the car, and walked more than ten feet away. Looking back, Lu Zhiyao hadn't entered yet, but was still standing at the gate Seeing off, it feels like a reluctant farewell.
