Chapter 300 Sincerity

Liu Fuyin continued: "This child Xuemei is said to have a solid eye.

 You tell her, why can't she choose a better reason to cause trouble?

The other party is selling things, and you find that the goods are short of goods, or the goods sold are shoddy.

  Why do you have to honestly say that someone seduces men?

 Let’s leave aside whether Miss Gu Er and Huang Xingye have an affair. Xuemei, a girl who has not yet left the court, brought people to make trouble here in a big way. It would be bad for her reputation to spread.

Furthermore, how can we judge the affair between a man and a woman based on the look of his eyes? To catch a thief, you need to catch the dirty part, and to catch an adulterer, you need to catch both. "

 The more Liu Fuyin talked, the more anxious he became, his hands dancing in the air.

 Wang Shilang sighed and said, "This child Xuemei was spoiled rotten by her grandmother."

Liu Fuyin also knew the situation of the Wang family. He sighed and said, "Xuemei is the only girl in your family, so it is inevitable that she will be pampered.

However, uncle Tong, the emperor always attaches great importance to governors.

 Look at how severe the punishment the emperor imposed on the British government after the incident occurred in the first half of the year!

After the incident in the British government, the emperor took family tradition and education even more seriously. You are in the Ministry of Rites, so you should know more about etiquette than I do. "

Wang Shilang nodded, "Yes, this year's government affairs assessment for officials includes the addition of family management. Although the proportion is not large, it is enough to show that the emperor attaches great importance to it."

Liu Fuyin nodded, "Xuemei's injuries are unclear. The doctor just said that she has a broken leg and three broken ribs. She will be bedridden for at least half a year."

After hearing this, Minister Wang clenched his hands tightly in front of him, his face turned livid, and heartache showed in his eyes.

Liu Fuyin and Wang Shilang have been old friends for many years. He saw Wang Shilang's mood at a glance and comforted him: "We will suffer this loss, and it will teach Xuemei a lesson."

Wang Shilang was silent for a while, then nodded heavily and said, "Yes, just take it as a lesson."

There was a knock on the door, and Liu Fuyin raised his voice: "Come in."

The high official pushed the door and came in. Seeing that Wang Shilang was also there, he bowed to Wang Shilang and then said to Liu Fuyin: "Your Excellency, Princess Yanran is clamoring to leave. She also said that she wants to go into the palace to see the emperor. Let the emperor Give her justice."

When Wang Shilang heard about his granddaughter's injury, he felt a lot of resentment towards Gu Huayu. Now after hearing Gao Tuiguan's words, the resentment that arose in his heart was immediately suppressed.

At this moment, Hua Yanran must be persuaded, and she cannot be allowed to enter the palace to complain to the emperor.

Wang Shilang stood up and said, "Where is Princess Yanran? I will go and apologize to her."

Liu Fuyin said: "Uncle Tong, your apology is a bit harsh. Come with me. Let's go together to make amends to the princess and compensate her for the losses she suffered."

 Wang Shilang nodded in agreement and said, "Thank you Yuan Zhong, thank you for your work."

Gu Huayu was bored and was about to leave when the high official came in with Liu Fuyin and a man in his sixties. Judging from his official uniform, his official position should be quite high.

Liu Fuyin entered the room with a smile and cupped his hands towards Gu Huayu and said, "I'm sorry for keeping the princess waiting for so long."

Gu Huayu's eyes wandered between the high official, Liu Fuyin, and the old man. Seeing that all three of them were smiling, she also lowered the corner of her mouth and returned the favor.

Liu Fuyin turned sideways and introduced to Gu Huayu: "Princess, this is Wang Xuemei's grandfather, Wang Shilang of the Ministry of Rites."

Wang Shilang went up to the court and cupped his hands with Gu Huayu and said: "Hello, Princess. Wang Dengcai, after receiving the letter from Liu Fuyin, rushed over immediately.

It's all because of the lax upbringing of the little old man that this girl Xuemei was allowed to act rudely in the princess's shop. The little old man apologized to the princess here. "

 Speaking, Wang Shilang bowed deeply to Gu Huayu.

 Wang Shilang apologized when he came up and took all the fault on himself, which made Gu Huayu a little confused.

Ever since she decided to report to the official, Gu Huayu thought about many scenarios of confrontation with the Wang family, but there was no one where the Wang family came up and apologized.

The candlelight in the room lengthened the figure of Wang Shilang. Gu Huayu looked at the stooped old man in front of her, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

Wang Shilang straightened up and continued: "My granddaughter is in a state of disgrace. I will definitely discipline her strictly when I go back.

I also ask the princess to give this girl Xuemei a chance to change her ways for the sake of the little old man.

Of course, the old man will compensate for the damage caused to the princess’s shop according to the price. "

Seeing his sincerity, Gu Huayu softened her heart and said, "Shilang Wang is sincere, if I hold on to him, I will be unreasonable and unforgiving.

However, in order to avoid entanglements in the future, even if it is private, we must have a private charter. "

 As soon as Gu Huayu's words came out, everyone in the room was stunned.

Liu Fuyin's eyes darkened, and he looked at Gu Huayu with a deeper look.

Gu Huayu is young and his cautious and sophisticated attitude surprised him. At the same time, he was grateful for his decision.

 It is said that Princess Yanran grew up in the mountains and was uneducated and ignorant of etiquette. She was just an embroidered pillow.

Today, he almost despised this princess who had a bad reputation.

His perception of her changed when he saw her standing in court and calmly stating the case.

Years of experience in handling cases told him that the little girl in front of him was not simple.

Liu Fuyin suddenly remembered the case between Guiyunge and Banrixian in the east of the city. The person who made Cui Mingqing, Zhang Zhi, and Mu Zaixin fall into a fight was Hua Yanran.

Liu Fuyin immediately became cautious, so when he learned that the person causing trouble was that girl Xuemei, he did not force himself to stand up for Xuemei, but went to find Wang Shilang to handle the matter.

The high-ranking official blurted out and asked: "Articles of Association? May I ask, Princess, what Articles of Association?"

Since it is private, where are the regulations?

Gu Huayu looked at the high-ranking official and said: "Wang Shilang admitted that what happened today was his granddaughter Wang Xuemei's fault. He said that when he goes back, he will strictly discipline Wang Xuemei and compensate for the damage to my shop. Yes. Bar?"

Gao Tuiguan nodded, "As an official of the imperial court, Wang Shilang naturally means what he says."

Gu Huayu said: "But it's empty talk, why should I believe it?"

Naturally, Wang Shilang was unwilling to leave the words in Gu Huayu's hands, so he said: "I understand the princess's worries. Let's do the math. The princess will calculate how much the princess's shop has lost, and the little old man will immediately compensate the princess." ”

This is what Gu Huayu was waiting for. She didn't want to send someone out several times just for some money.

Gu Huayu took out the list prepared in advance from her purse and handed it over, "I will list all the compensation items here. Minister Wang, please take a look."

Wang Shilang took the list, glanced at the beginning, and his eyes immediately fell on the amount at the back. After he saw the amount clearly, he looked up at Gu Huayu in shock, "Princess, six thousand five hundred taels of silver? Did you calculate it wrong? ?”

Wang Shilang spoke implicitly and did not directly say that Hua Yanran was blackmailing.

Liu Fuyin and Gao Tuiguan heard this and looked over.

The high official asked: "Princess, what happened today is Miss Wang's fault. But Wang Shilang sincerely apologized to you, and we also hope that the princess can show sincerity."

Gu Huayu took the list out of Wang Shilang's hand, held it up in his hand, and said, "Do you think I took the opportunity to blackmail you? I'm really prepared to try to do it today."

As she spoke, Gu Huayu took out another list from her purse, "Before coming to the Yamen, I prepared two lists.

It depends on the situation. If Wang's attitude is good, even if you just gave you this one, everything will be compensated according to the price.

If you have a bad attitude, it’s this piece, and I’ll pay three times the original price as compensation. If you dare not pay, I’ll go to the palace and ask the emperor to make a decision for me. "

After taking Gu Huayu, the high promotion officer took out the list and saw that the numbers in the front were the same, but there was an additional compensation clause in the back that affected the reputation of the shop and caused losses, and the compensation was 5,000 taels.

There is also Wang Xuemei who slandered Miss Gu Er and was charged 10,000 taels for mental damages.

This blatant person wants money, and you have nothing to say to him.

 Gao Tuiguan, Liu Fuyin, and Wang Shilang looked at each other in confusion.

Gu Huayu continued: "You can go and ask around. The fragrant dew in my shop is all refined from precious spices.

Taking the Nuanyang fragrance as an example, it is refined and formulated with more than ten kinds of precious spices.

 Let’s not talk about the uncommon ones, let’s talk about the common sandalwood. It takes fifty kilograms of sandalwood to carry two kilograms of essential oil. How much does one kilogram of sandalwood cost? After all this, do you still think I am extorting money?

Wangyou costs sixty-eight taels of silver per bottle, and Nuanyang costs ninety-two cents of silver per bottle.

Miss Wang led others to smash thirty bottles of Wangyou, which is 2,176 taels.

 Forty-two bottles of Nuanyang, another three thousand seven hundred and eighty taels.

 In addition, there are fifteen bottles of liquid foundation, seventy-five taels, and twelve boxes of rouge, thirty-six taels of silver.

The total of these is six thousand and sixty-seven taels of silver.

In addition to the tables, chairs and shelves in the shop, plus my second sister’s medical expenses, I charge you 6,500 taels of silver. I don’t ask for a penny more. "

Wang Shilang nodded painfully and said, "Okay, just follow what the princess said. I will ask someone to get the banknotes right now."

 After speaking, Wang Shilang said to Gao Tuiguan: "Master Gao, let my entourage come in."

 The high official turned around and went out to call in Wang Shilang's entourage.

 Wang Shilang explained to him, and then he left.

Seeing that the two parties had reached an agreement, Liu Fuyin smiled and smoothed things over: "Come on, come on, let's sit here, don't stand."

 Wang Shilang bowed to Gu Huayu and said, "Princess, please."

Gu Huayu returned the courtesy and asked Wang Shilang to come forward. "Shilang Wang is the elder, please ask Shilang Wang."

Liu Fuyin smiled and said: "Princess, according to etiquette, you should respect the humble first, then the elder. The princess has a distinguished status, so the princess should go first."

Gu Huayu saw that she could not evade, so she had no choice but to go ahead.

 Everyone sat down, drank tea and talked.

Liu Fuyin took care of Gu Huayu's feelings and talked about the customs and customs of the Jiangnan area, gossip that Gu Huayu could understand and follow.

After chatting for a while, Wang Shilang's entourage came back with the banknotes.

 After Wang Shilang ordered it once, he stood up and leaned over and handed it to Gu Huayu. "Princess, please click, the total is six thousand five hundred taels."

Gu Huayu stood up, took the banknote, and put it away directly, "Shilang Wang has already ordered it, so I don't need to order it again."

Liu Fuyin smiled and smoothed things over and said: "Although we all know each other in this way, through this matter, I have seen the princess's crispness and the responsibility of Wang Shilang. Both of you, I admire."

Wang Shilang smiled and cupped his hands and said: "My uncle's words of responsibility make me feel ashamed. In just over an hour of getting along with the princess, I can see the difference.

The princess is younger than Xuemei, but her behavior and dealings with others are much more mature and steady than that girl Xuemei. This little money was well spent today. "

Gu Huayu felt a little uncomfortable being praised by Wang Shilang. She has always been a soft-spoken person.

If Wang Shilang and Liu Fuyin were to fight against her, she would be able to fight them to the end.

The more courteously they treated each other like gentlemen, the more uncomfortable she became, and she even felt that she was not worthy of the money she deserved.

Gu Huayu said with embarrassment: "Master Liu, Minister Wang has thanked you. I was also impulsive about today's matter, and I was a little harsh on Miss Wang. There are some pills in the house that can help with bone repair. I'll give it to you tomorrow. Have someone send some to Wang's house."

Wang Shilang bowed and thanked her, "The princess is very considerate. I will thank the princess on Xuemei's behalf."

Gu Huayu nodded, stood up and said goodbye, "Then I'll go back first."

Liu Fuyin and Wang Shilang stood up and sent Gu Huayu to the gate. They watched Gu Huayu's car go away before turning around and walking back.

Wang Shilang said to Liu Fuyin: "Uncle Tong, thank you very much for what happened today."

Liu Fuyin shook his head and said: "Xuemei is also my great-niece, so I should help her. Although Xuemei is usually more willful, she also knows the importance of things. How could she do such a stupid thing today?"

 Wang Shilang shook his head and said, "I'm also confused about this matter. I'll ask more carefully when I get back."

Liu Fuyin nodded, "Let's wait a few days before asking. I think Xuemei's injury is not going to be easy in the next few days, and she will suffer for a few days."

Wang Shilang said: "It is also a good thing to let her suffer some physical pain. After this experience, she will have a long memory and will not dare to do anything wrong again in the future."

"That's right, children always have to go through some things before they become sensible. Go back and ask Xuemei what's going on, and don't take the wrong advice."

Wang Shilang thought of Hua Yanran and then his granddaughter, and sighed slightly, "Thanks, I will. It's getting late, I'll go back first. Which room is Xuemei in? I'll take her back."

The high-ranking official leaned forward and said, "I've already sent someone to send Miss Wang back to her home."

Hand Wang Shilang thanked him, turned around and got into the carriage.

As Gu Huayu boarded the car, King Qin reached out to help her and whispered: "Slow down!"

Gu Huayu was a little surprised when she saw King Qin, but more satisfied and happy.

Gu Huayu sat down and opened the curtains to say goodbye to Liu Fuyin and Wang Shilang, and Qingyu drove away.

After the carriage had traveled for a while, King Qin asked, "Is everything going well?"

Gu Huayu leaned into King Qin's arms, nodded and said: "Well, Mr. Wang is very sensible. He didn't blame me for attacking Wang Xuemei and even compensated for the loss of the shop. Is Mr. Wang very poor? Are you familiar with Mr. Wang?"

King Qin shook his head and said: "I'm not familiar with it. When my grandfather was the Minister of Rites, I occasionally heard Wang Dengcai's name once or twice. Maybe it was to avoid suspicion. Wang Shilang hardly went to my grandfather's house, so I don't know much about the affairs of Wang's house. .

 What happened today, so I asked Ruxuan to check on the Wang family.

Inquiring about the news, Wang Shilang was from Xin'an and came from a poor family. He was a Jinshi during the reign of the late Emperor. He passed the Jinshi examination and then became a Shujishi. He served in the Hanlin Academy for several years and then entered the Ministry of Rites. "
