Chapter two hundred and eighty sixth
Tian Ruyue sat on the edge of the bed and told Wei Jin all the conversation between the second prince and Mrs. Lian as soon as possible. She asked with some concern: "Master Li has been put into prison. If the emperor doubts you..."
"Are you scared?" Wei Jin raised his eyebrows and pulled her hand to comfort him, "Don't be afraid, my husband is a sick man who is about to die at any time. The emperor will doubt me, but he will doubt his sons who have grown up to try to seize the throne."
Tian Ruyue: "...You make sense, so let's wait and see what's going on?"
Wei Jin: "Yes."
Two days later, the officers and soldiers surrounding the Wei Mansion retreated on their own, and the Wei Mansion returned to its former peace. Tian Ruyue disguised herself as a man and went to the teahouse to inquire and found out that Master Li died in the Ministry of Justice, and the whole family was put into prison. The man was executed after the autumn, and the woman was in charge of the Jiaosifang.
It is reported that everyone in the official kiln was arrested and interrogated, but now they are all released. She was a little worried about Master Zhao, so she bought some gifts and took Bai Shuang to the Zhao mansion in person, and saw Master Zhao lying on the bed.
The maid brought a stool to put it beside the bed. After Tian Ruyue sat down, she looked at Master Zhao and asked with concern: "Master, are you okay?"
Master Zhao, who was tortured and seriously injured, smiled happily, "If you survive the disaster, you will have good fortune." Compared to Master Li, whose family was confiscated, he only suffered a little bit of flesh and blood!
Tian Ruyue saw that he suffered a lot in the Ministry of Justice, and was afraid that he would misunderstand and explained a few words: "The Wei Mansion was also implicated and surrounded by officers and soldiers. I can only leave the mansion after withdrawing the troops today to inquire about the situation. If you are late, please don't blame the master."
"What's your fault?" Master Zhao's face was sunk, "If you want to blame, I blame my ambitious junior brother. He dared to murder the current emperor and implicate us."
Tian Ruyue was afraid that he would get angry and affected her body, so she asked: "Senior Brother, are you okay?"
Speaking of the apprentices, Master Zhao's expression was slightly relaxed, "They were also arrested in the Ministry of Justice, but fortunately they were all my apprentices. They had no contact with Master Li, and they were not severely punished. However, Master Li's disciples were in trouble. Although some were released, half of them died during the trial. Unfortunately, the fresh lives disappeared, alas!"
Tian Ruyue knew the cruelty of ancient criminal law and the cruelty of the system of sanitation. She did not feel any surprise when she heard this, but she felt chill in her heart.
After chatting a few more common words, he said goodbye and left because Master Zhao had injuries on his body.
After leaving Zhao's mansion, Tian Ruyue did not go home, but went to the pawnshop again.
After a few days of arrival, the shop had been renovated. According to the floor plan she drew, the shop was divided into two parts with hollow carved wooden boards, and three treasure racks were placed against the wall. They were made of camphor wood with fresh wood fragrance, which was anti-worm and moth, anti-mold, anti-mold, and durable.
But there are also disadvantages, because the aroma is special and can be dewormed. If you are in a closed and uncirculated bedroom, it is harmful to the body to smell it for a long time. Fortunately, the pawnshop door and the back door are open and ventilated all year round. The wind takes away most of the fragrance, and smelling a little fragrance makes you feel happy.
After reading it, Tian Ruyue thanked the shopkeeper Yu with satisfaction.
Manager Yu smiled and said, "Young Madam, you are polite." He glanced at Tian Duofu on the side from the corner of his eyes, "The young lady's elder brother is very diligent. He crows early every day, cleans the house, cooks, and obeys the old man who serves the old man, who is filial than his grandchildren, and is ashamed." He glanced at the counter who was sleeping on his lying down.
The guy lives nearby. After closing the door every day, he goes home to rest and opens the door the next day. But now all these things have become Tian Duofu, so he becomes more and more lazy and comes late and leaves early.
Tian Ruyue smiled after hearing this, "My elder brother just can't stay idle. He is young and strong and healthy. Please give me instructions if you have any questions." The teapot shop can't be opened for a while because it's out of stock!
Seeing that Manager Yu's beard turned white and his back was covered, he was probably seventy years old. He was still busy with pawnshops at such an old age. It was really hard. It was nothing if my elder brother was willing to do more work.
After hearing this, Manager Yu touched his beard with satisfaction and invited Tian Ruyue into the backyard alone. "Mrs. Young lady, I am old and my health is getting worse and worse.
My family advised me to go home several times to enjoy my grandson's care, but because I was worried about my young master, I delayed it again and again. I wanted to train a shop assistant, but that kid was too lazy to be a talented person.
Now I have a crush on Duofu, diligent, honest, willing to learn and improve. I want to try to hand over the pawnshop business to him, do you see?"
Tian Ruyue expressed unexpected joy when she heard this. How could she refuse such a good thing? Of course, one hundred agreed!
Tian Duofu next to him was also shocked, as if he was hit by a pie in the sky.
After this incident, Tian Ruyue continued to leave Tian Duofu to train the shopkeeper Yu, and took Bai Shuang to the pawnshop and took a carriage back home.
On the way, there were gongs and drums outside the carriage. Tian Ruyue curiously picked up the curtain and looked out. She unexpectedly saw a group of scholars gathered together to look at the notice wall. She looked at it curiously.
Bai Shuang immediately explained when she saw that she understood it: "Today is the day when the results are released. Your brother-in-law and fourth brother have both taken this imperial examination. I wonder if it is high school. You stayed in the carriage, and I will go down to see you?"
Whether Tian Duogui is in high school has nothing to do with her, but if she is in high school for the rest of her life, her second sister Tian Ruhua will definitely be very happy. So Tian Ruyue agreed to stop the carriage and watched Bai Shuang get off the carriage and squeeze into the crowd to see the list of the results.
It took two quarters of an hour before Bai Shuang squeezed out of the crowd and returned to the carriage.
Seeing that she was sweating profusely, Tian Ruyue took out a veil and handed it to her to wipe off the sweat stains, but did not urge her to ask about the results.
Baishuang took the veil and wiped the sweat while happily saying, "Your fourth brother is in high school! But I didn't find your brother-in-law's name, I was afraid that I would miss it. I was afraid that I would miss it. I searched five times to confirm it."
Tian Ruyue, who had already figured out in her heart, nodded slightly, "Thank you for your hard work, let's go home."
The carriage moved forward slowly again.
Bai Shuang looked at Tian Ruyue's unchanged side face and asked tentatively: "Don't you go home to report the good news?"
Tian Ruyue chuckled, "The high school people threatened that I would become a widow and wandered on the streets. I would like to congratulate him on such a person? Put your face at his feet and let him step on it. Thank you so much."
Bai Shuang: "…I’m too much."
After getting off the carriage and returning to the Wei Mansion, the gate of the Wei Mansion, which used to be very lively, is now deserted and no one cares about it.
The servant who was guarding the door changed from the original boy to the old man who had a dead contract. When Tian Ruyue returned, he respectfully stepped forward and saluted, "Mrs. Young lady, Madam tells me that if you return and go to her yard, she will have something to come to you."
Tian Ruyue nodded slightly to him to show that she heard it. She took Bai Shuang straight to the yard where Mrs. Lian was, but only saw Madam Hu.
