Rebirth of First Daughter

In March of spring, willows are dancing, pink peach blossoms are blooming all over the branches, and the whole earth is full of spring.

Youge'er accompanied Yuxi to stand under the peach blossom tree and said with a smile: "Niang, I heard that the Wu family has planted a lot of exotic flowers and plants. Mother, I want to see it! "

"Do you want to see flowers or people?" Think carefully on this point, how can you hide Yuxi.

Youge'er said happily: "flowers and people can see. The second young master of the Wu family is engaged to his elder sister, but I don't know what he looks like! " I only heard that they are good-looking, but there is no specific statement about how good-looking they are.

Yuxi did not stop, said: "if you want to go, do not go to other home, to know etiquette." Of the six children, the worst is jujube etiquette, and the best is Liu er. As for triplets, it's OK on the big side.

You elder brother son laughs very happily: "Niang you rest assured, won't lose you and father's face." Going out, what they represent is the image of the palace, which can do anything beyond.

The next day, the triplets went to Wu's house. Wu Kuo had already gone to Jiangnan by this time, and Fang was the one who received the triplets.

After Fang's ceremony, Xuan Ge'er said, "Mrs. Wu, we heard that the second young master is very good at planting flowers and has cultivated many varieties, so he came here with admiration. If there is any interruption, please forgive me. "

Hearing this, Fang understood the purpose of the triplets and said with a smile, "it's our honor for the three young masters to come."

After two polite remarks, Fang took the triplets to Wu Jinyu's yard. Looking at the potted plants all over the yard, and these potted plants grow very well, Xuan Ge'er can't help saying: "I've heard that my eldest brother-in-law can grow flowers and plants. Now it seems that the rumor is true!"

You elder brother son coughed two times and said: "three elder brothers, Niang all said Wu Er young master can plant flowers, how can there be false?" Under the influence of Qi Hao, before zaozao and Wu Jinyu got married, he was not called brother-in-law.

The smile on Fang's face stopped, but soon recovered.

Wu Jinyu heard that there were guests coming, and quickly walked out of the room. See is Rui elder brother son three people, busily saluted: "see two young masters, three young masters, four young masters."

You elder brother looked at Wu Jinyu, and he saw that Wu Jinyu had a peach hairpin to hold her hair, and was wearing a moon white brocade embroidered with green and bamboo patterns. She was as beautiful as the legend.

"How do you know us?" he asked curiously They haven't met Wu Jinyu.

Wu Jinyu said, "I met three young masters in the garden of the palace." However, he was with Yu Huajiang at that time, and did not appear in front of the triplets.

"Oh, so!" He said that he was so beautiful. If he had seen it, he would not have been impressed.

Wu Jinyu's human relationship is relatively poor. He only talks to the triplets, but doesn't know how to ask them to come into the room for tea. Or Fang said: "second young master, third young master, fourth young master, you must be tired after such a long journey. Come in and have a rest and have a cup of tea!"

Rui elder brother son busy said: "my mother said we are still young, should not drink tea, you prepare boiled water for us." On weekdays, triplets often drink juice, and sweet and sour juice is their favorite.

With a smile, Fang ordered people to bring up the water.

Into the house, Xuan Ge'er eyes on the red sandalwood flower on the pot of orchids. After a short time, Xuan Ge'er asked: "I don't know why I chose this potted flower in the room?"

The petals of this pot of orchid are very small, the leaves are thin and long, and the veins are clearly visible. It looks like a pile of grass, very simple.

Wu Jinyu said with a smile: "you see, the green leaves seem to come out of the water as soon as you poke them. They are tender and weak. But they are so positive and strong. " He loved the spirit.

You elder brother son listened to this to feel very interesting: "listen to you say so, seem they are all alive?"

Wu Jinyu didn't even want to think about it, so he said, "they have vitality." Wu Jinyu really thinks that these flowers and plants have vitality and treat them as friends, so she will do her best when waiting for them.

You elder brother son is a very thoughtful, hear this words to tear down a few green leaves.

Wu Jinyu couldn't stop her. Looking at the green leaves in your brother's hand, her face changed.

Fang's look is not right, busy pull Wu Jinyu said with a smile: "if the fourth young master like this potted plant, later let people send to the palace."

You elder brother son looked at a few leaves in hand and asked with a smile: "didn't you just say that it has vitality? Do you think they hurt? "

Wu Jinyu said, "don't you see the whole orchid shaking? It just can't stand the pain. " You Ge'er pulled the leaves, and the potted plant naturally shook. But in Wu Jinyu's eyes, the flower was shivering with pain.

Rui Ge'er is so scared that he can't close his mouth.

You elder brother son poured to smile: "you still really are a flower crazy!" The leaf in hand is still on the ground, and then beckons Rui Ge'er and Xuan Ge'er to go home.

Wu Jinyu did not want to send triplets, but squatted on the ground to pick up a few green leaves, and then buried them in a pot.

Out of the Wu family, Xuan Ge'er said: "ah you, your behavior just now is too rude."

Youge'er said with a smile, "it's rude to pull a few leaves? You're making a mountain out of a molehill? " With that, youge'er asked with great interest, "don't you think he's very interesting? It's said that flowers have vitality and that they also know pain. " They're all possessed.

Rui Ge'er agrees with you Ge'er: "I don't know what elder sister likes about him? It seems that even if you are weak, you have problems with your brain. "

You Ge'er said directly: "the elder sister wants to marry only when her parents are beautiful. However, Wu Jinyu is really good-looking. " That's a nice face.

Xuan Ge'er said unhappily: "ah you, it's too insulting for you to say that. How can you say that he is also our elder brother-in-law?" The elder sister has engaged Wu Jinyu, which is an unchangeable fact.

Youge'er said innocently: "am I wrong? He's not pretty? "

Rui Ge'er said: "don't talk about this. I heard that Fuji Restaurant has launched several new dishes. We'll try them later. " Every time they come out, they will go to Fuji Restaurant for a meal, and in Fuji Restaurant for a meal, they only need to keep accounts and do not need to pay.

Having enough to eat and drink, the triplets went home. Hearing that Yuxi was still dealing with things in the front yard, the three went back to their own yard.

Half an hour ago, Yuxi received a discount from Liang Songbai. Now he is discussing with Tan Tuo, Tang Chengye and Cao boting about the case of Niu Jingyi's corruption.

Tan Tuo said: "princess, thirty thousand taels of silver will be beheaded Niu Jingyi, is the sentence too heavy?" There used to be a folk saying that in three years, the magistrate of the Qing Dynasty paid 100000 yuan of silver. This means that even the honest magistrate who is not corrupt and perverts the law, after three years in office, should only earn 100000 taels of money from various illegal regulations. Niu Jing, a magistrate of Jinling, only got 30000 taels of silver for several years, which is not much.

Tang Chengye, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, was in favor of severe punishment, because if Niu Jingyi was not killed, he could not frighten others.

Cao Boyan, the inspector general, also thought that he must be severely punished: "thirty thousand taels of silver is a huge sum of money. If he embezzles so much money, he will not be severely punished. Once this unhealthy trend is formed, the impact will be very bad." Therefore, Niu Jingyi must die.

Yuxi doesn't plan to let Niu Jingyi off lightly. Since he dares to embezzle, he has to be ready to die. This time, she called all the people here to amend the law: "I think the existing law on corruption and bribery punishment is too light, we must increase the intensity of punishment."

Changing the law is not a matter of the upper lip touching the lower lip. It has to go through complicated procedures. But Yuxi made a decision, no matter how complicated it was.

Dragging tired body, Yuxi back to the backyard. When triplets saw her like this, they didn't say anything about Wu Jinyu.

After dinner, Yuxi asked, "what do you think of seeing your elder sister husband?"

You elder brother son says with smile: "elder sister husband looks very good-looking, Niang, I also want to find a beautiful daughter-in-law in the future." The marriage has been settled, and it's still his elder sister's favorite. If he can't say it well, he can't do anything except to block his mother. So he is not going to say anything about the Wu family.

Yuxi said with a smile: "this look for a daughter-in-law can not only look at the appearance, but also depends on the character and temper and upbringing."

Xuan Ge'er interjected: "marriage matters, parents' orders, matchmaker's words. Our marriage is naturally decided by your mother and father. "

Youge'er said, "mother, we're going back to do our homework. Mother, when you are tired, take a rest. Don't do anything. If you're tired, it's not worth the loss. " It really hurts to see his mother like this. Unfortunately, he is too young to help his mother.

From early busy to now a moment did not stop, Yuxi also really tired: "mother bath finished to sleep."

Yuxi had a good sleep that night and went to the front yard the next day. The front foot enters the study, Yu Zhi's back foot comes to report the matter.

Yu Zhi handed a letter to Yu Xi and said, "princess, it was sent by Yang Duoming. I only received it at midnight last night." Because it wasn't an urgent letter, I didn't reply immediately.

Yuxi took the letter and opened it. After reading it, he looked a little ugly. After a long time, Yuxi began to say: "it's hard to paint skin and flesh, but it's hard to paint bone. You can't change your nature

Yu Zhi was surprised and asked, "is the princess talking about Niu Jingyi?" Niu Jingyi's case has a great influence, and now it's all spread outside.

Yuxi handed Yang Duoming's letter to Yu Zhi and said, "have a look for yourself."

After reading the letter, Yu Zhi was shocked: "I thought Niu Jingyi was wronged."

Niu Jingyi had been a magistrate of Jizhou before. During his tenure, Niu Jingyi was honest and fair, and was loved by the local people. Later, he was dismissed because he didn't want to go along with other officials and returned to his hometown in Jinling. Back home, he spared no expense, supported the poor students, and did his best to help the poor people who had nothing to depend on. Because of his behavior, he has a good reputation in Jinling.

Yunqing captured Jinling. After hearing about this man, he sent someone to inquire about him and confirmed that the rumor was true.

Yuxi said with a smile: "it's different from the outside. It's people like Niu Jingyi." Yang Duoming got Yuxi's order to make an in-depth investigation, only to find out that what is fair and honest is all deceitful. He is greedy for money, no less than other officials. But he was very secretive and better at camouflage, so he cheated people. And back in Jinling, he took out part of the money to earn his reputation. Unfortunately, greed in nature will not disappear with time.

Yu Zhi asked: "princess, such officials are not only Niu Jingyi."

Yuxi said: "that's why I want to amend the law. Only by increasing the punishment will they be afraid to reach out."

Yu Zhi said: "this time, according to the censor, Niu Jingyi was found to have been embezzled and bribed for more than 30000 taels of silver, but Yang Duoming turned over the bottom of Niu Jingyi. Princess, I think it's necessary to set up another monitoring body. " Obviously, Yang Duoming is much more awesome than the people in charge of the Department.

Yuxi nodded his head and said, "I'm also thinking about this." There are many things to be done to establish another supervision organization, and she has no energy for the time being.

The evidence is conclusive. Niu Jingyi was sentenced to beheading, his family property was confiscated, and his family members were reduced to official slaves and sold by the government. None of the other officials who have been in the same boat have let go.

At the same time, Ling ruoyuan embezzled more than 7000 taels of silver. In addition to being removed from office and confiscating his family property, he had to serve six years in prison.

Ling Ruoyun fainted after hearing what Xu Wu said. When he woke up, Ling Ruoyun took Xu Wu's hand and cried and asked, "master, I'm just such a brother. Please help him!"

Xu Wu said: "this time the princess was very angry. It took me a lot of effort to save his life. He can't avoid six years of imprisonment. "

Ling Ruoyun cried: "he not only destroyed himself, but also destroyed several children." According to the law, three generations after a criminal official can't become an official.

Xu Wu said: "although I have to suffer a lot, at least my life has been saved. Don't think too much about it. It's already like this. No matter how sad you are, it's useless. By the way, Zhao and his children are on their way back to Ho City. All their property is confiscated. You should find a good place for them first. " In the case of Ling ruoyuan, even if his wife and children are not put into prison, they will still live on the streets. So Xu Wu entrusted Fang Xing to take care of him. Otherwise, let alone Ho City, whether he was safe or not would be a big problem.

Hearing this, Ling Ruoyun said cautiously: "if orphans and widows live outside, they will inevitably be bullied. Master, there are still vacant courtyards in the mansion. Let the younger brothers and sisters live in the mansion with a few children! " If you live in their home, you don't have this worry.

Xu Wu did not agree, said: "you buy a small house, and give some money, after they settle down, don't care."

Ling Ruoyun burst into tears: "master, how can I be at ease if I let my sister-in-law live outside with some children? Master, I beg you, let your sister-in-law and some children live in the house! "

Xu Wu said with a cold face: "don't say any more. I'm determined not to let Zhao live in the house." Then he left and went back to the palace.
