"This is the tea that the emperor emeritus once praised personally?" He picked up the teacup and took two sips,
He smacked his lips twice,
He said,
"It's no different from a large bowl of herbal tea that costs one copper coin at a street stall,
In comparison, Chongjiu still prefers that large bowl of herbal tea,
That one is more enjoyable to drink. "
Shuijing was speechless when he heard this,
"Just based on your words, you won't be able to be a cultured person in your life."
"What's so good about being a cultured person? It's easy to become a bookworm if you read too much. I'm so smart because I've never read books. "
Chongjiu's words revealed a trace of pride. However, this sense of pride disappeared when he saw Wen Dongyan smile at him.
He immediately quieted down and sat down obediently. He secretly prayed that Mr. Wen, who had read many books, would not make things difficult for him because of the word "bookworm.".
Wen Dongyan did not seem to care,
He only smiled and said, "This pot of tea is only twenty taels of silver,
The emperor emeritus once praised the tea for more than this price. "
Chongjiu immediately looked at Shuijing resentfully when he heard this. It was rare for him to be invited to tea, but he did not treat him to the best tea.
Shuijing lazily rolled his eyes,
"Haven't you heard that wild boars can't eat fine chaff? That guy said that the tea would definitely not be any better! "
Chongjiu originally felt a little internal injury when he heard the first sentence,
He felt that his master was too good at mocking people,
But when he heard the second sentence, he was happy again. No matter who he was talking about, as long as he was not talking about himself, it was fine.
This happiness..,
He started to talk more.
"... speaking of this jewelry shop..,
The best is the white sleeves in the south of the city. Don't look at the small shop..,
The alley is deep, but it's an old shop that has been in operation for a hundred years in Jinling. If you want to buy jewelry for Madam, you can go to this shop... but if you want to buy antiques, you definitely can't go to the Xuanbao Hall in the east of the city. That shopkeeper is famous in the industry for 'Fake Wu'. As long as you don't know what's good and go to his shop, all you get are worthless shellfish. "
"However, the reason why this' fake Wu 'dares to be so brazen is because he has a backer. His wife was the daughter of the Jinling Zhen family's First Madam, a seventh-ranked official in front of the Prime Minister's residence. This Zhen family was also the local tyrant of Jinling. Even if the Yingtian Prefecture's magistrate came, he would still have to give him some face. Because of this relationship, even if someone found out that they had been deceived, they would not dare to go up and argue. After all, they don't sell all fake goods. Who asked you to be so ignorant? "
He shook his head and sighed. Suddenly, he said excitedly, "But something very interesting happened in the past few days. Master definitely knows about the Jia family in the capital. It's the Jia family of the four great clans, 'Jia Shi, Wang, Xue'. A few days ago, Jia Xie from Rongguo Province came to pay respects to his ancestors. That being said, he only stayed in the old house on the first day and spent the rest of the time in the red-light district. I don't know if his Jia family's ancestors would be so angry that they would crawl out of the ground if they knew. "
"However, this Rongguo Province's First Madam, in addition to liking the red-light district, also likes to visit antique shops. I don't know if someone had bad intentions or if they wanted to see him make a fool of himself, but they deliberately brought him to the Xuanbao Hall. This' fake Wu 'is really bold. Regardless of the relationship between the Rongguo Province and the Rongguo Province's Zhen family, he ruthlessly slaughtered the Rongguo Province's First Madam. I heard that this Rongguo Province's First Madam is a scoundrel and is also a shameless old scoundrel. When he finds out the truth, won't he smash the Xuanbao Hall? When the time comes, the dogs will bite each other and get a mouthful of fur. Not only will everyone be able to watch the show, but they will also be able to vent their anger. "
After talking for a long time, Chongjiu only felt that his mouth and tongue were a bit dry. He picked up the teapot and poured himself several cups of tea. After gulping it down, the thirst in his throat subsided. He wiped his mouth and was about to continue talking about some interesting things in Jinling when he saw the Shuijing's dark face. His complexion was quite ugly.
His heart palpitated as he looked pitifully at Wen Dongyan. In his mind, he quickly recalled what he said that made his master unhappy.
Wen Dongyan waved his goose feather fan and smiled. "Actually, you didn't say anything. It's just that the scoundrel you just mentioned, the Rongguo Province's First Madam, Jia Xie, was once my master's study companion."
— — —
"Hurry up and let go of this First Madam! Do you know who this First Madam is? This First Madam is a hereditary First Madam. What kind of thing is your First Madam! Damn you! Is a hereditary First Rank General someone you can see just because you want to!? Hurry up and let this First Madam go, then tell your First Madam to kowtow to this First Madam three times. This First Madam will be merciful and pretend that this didn't happen. Otherwise, all of you will have to bear the consequences! "
There was a lot of noise outside the door, but it was quiet inside.
Wen Dongyan waved his goose feather fan and said with a smile, "This First Madam is a wonderful person."
Shuijing's mouth twitched. He didn't know what to say to this former study companion. He was originally a person who didn't know what to say in a situation, but now it seemed that he was even more confused. He simply picked up the teacup and lowered his head to sip.
Chongjiu looked down and thought about whether Wen Dongyan's' wonderful 'was a compliment or a sarcasm.
"Are you all mute!? This First Madam is telling you, it's useless to pretend to be mute! My servants must have already found out that I'm missing. You all better hurry up and let this First Madam go! When my servants report to the officials and bring the soldiers to find me, you can just wait for your heads to fall to the ground! "
The two shadow guards holding the First Madam on the left and right had their ears hurt from the noise. They wished they could take a smelly rag and stuff his mouth, but they couldn't do so. Thus, the two of them walked faster and faster, their feet moving like the wind.
"Master, this subordinate has already brought the people here."
The First Madam was finally free. She aggressively walked in front of the First Madam, pointed at his nose and loudly scolded, "You …!"
Chongjiu didn't expect such a situation to happen and hurriedly went forward to stop her. He didn't expect the First Madam to act as if she had seen a ghost. Her eyes and mouth were wide open, and she looked like she was overly frightened. Then, with a loud bang, she firmly knelt on the ground. Just listening to the sound made one's knees hurt.
"First Madam …" She saw him looking at the First Madam without blinking. Her eyes quickly became wet, her old face was red, and her whole body was trembling. "First Madam …" She shouted again, her voice mixed with excitement and disbelief.
The First Madam made a sound of agreement, then turned her attention from the teacup to the First Madam. However, the moment she saw him, she spat out the tea in her mouth.
The First Madam who was sprayed in the face, "…"
The First Madam snorted and lazily said, "Since you don't think what I said is good, then you go and say it. This First Madam doesn't need to waste my breath."
Wen Dongyan smiled and turned to Lin Ruhai. He cupped his hands and said, "Brother Ruhai, long time no see."
"Brother Dongyan." Lin Ruhai stood up and cupped his hands in return. "It's been more than ten years since we last met. Brother Dongyan's style is still the same, but I've become like a dead tree."
"Brother Ruhai, you must be joking. You work hard for the sake of the country and the people, while I'm just a commoner. How can I compare to you? "
Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly.
Although Wen Dongyan was a commoner, he was more important than him, a doctor of Lantai Temple and a salt inspector. Back then, Wen Dongyan publicly refused to be an official in the main hall, which made the Retired Emperor furious. Although the Retired Emperor didn't revoke Wen Dongyan's title as the top scholar, he issued a decree that he would never be admitted. He really felt sorry for Wen Dongyan, and was very puzzled. Since he didn't want to be an official, why did he want to be an official? However, it was also thanks to Wen Dongyan's refusal that he was able to receive the Retired Emperor's vigorous training. And when Wen Dongyan joined Shui Jing's faction, the Retired Emperor seemed to be in a fit of pique and sent him and that year's second place to a high position. One must know that every three years, there would be a top scholar, second scholar, and third scholar, but not everyone could be promoted to a high official.
Including him, all of his classmates sympathized with Wen Dongyan. However, at that time, no one would have thought that Wen Dongyan would become an existence that many people could only look at but not reach.
The affairs of the world were truly unpredictable!
Lin Ruhai sighed in his heart. He steadied his mind and asked, "Brother Dongyan, what's the matter with that Liu Jin? I've never heard of Mama Liu having such a godson. Could it be someone impersonating him? "
"Liu Jin is indeed Mama Liu's godson, no doubt. It's just that he previously lived in the capital until more than a year ago, after the late Madam passed away, then he came to Yangzhou. " Wen Dongyan paused for a moment, then turned to look at the Cabinet. Seeing the Cabinet nod, he then took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve and handed them to Lin Ruhai. "You'll know the specifics after you read it."
Those pieces of paper were densely packed with words. At first, Lin Ruhai's face was filled with confusion, but then his face became darker and darker. His chest heaved up and down more and more, and his body trembled violently.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at Wen Dongyan with scarlet eyes. "Is what's written on this paper true?" His voice seemed to come from hell as he gnashed his teeth.
Wen Dongyan sighed. "It's absolutely true. Their methods aren't brilliant, and they're full of loopholes. As long as you investigate carefully, you can find out? F * ck!
The paper in Lin Ruhai's hand deformed from his grip. He pushed Wen Dongyan aside and rushed over to Jia Xie like a flash of lightning. He angrily roared, "When has our Lin family ever wronged your Jia family? You actually used such despicable means to harm us!?"
Jia Xie's ears were ringing from the roar, but he wasn't someone who could be easily bullied. He immediately slapped the table and roared back, "Are you crazy! Why are you getting angry at me!? "
"See for yourself!" Lin Ruhai threw the pieces of paper at Jia Xie's face. He gritted his teeth and fiercely said, "I, Lin Ruhai, have always treated your Jia family well, but how did you treat me? Putting aside the fact that you planted people in my backyard and passed the information to Duke Xiu's Mansion and the Zhen family, you even deliberately fed me and Min 'er medicine to weaken our bodies, causing Yu' er and Mo 'er to be born with congenital deficiencies. Mo 'er was only three years old when he died! "He grabbed Jia Xie's lapel." Isn't Mo' er the grandson of your Jia family? Isn't Min 'er the daughter of your Jia family? How can you be so heartless?! "
Jia Xie finally understood what was going on. He sneered and forcefully flung Lin Ruhai away, causing him to stagger back a few steps. He supported himself on the table with one hand and barely managed to steady himself.
"Are you angry? Do you hate me? Unfortunately, you've found the wrong person. The person you're looking for is in the capital! I won't take the blame for nothing. "
"I've found the wrong person?" Lin Ruhai's eyes were full of disbelief. "You're the head of Rongguo Province, and these people are your servants!"
Jia Xie sneered, "Now you remember that I'm the head of Rongguo Province. How come I don't usually see you putting me, the head of Rongguo Province, in your eyes? You're really good, thinking of the second branch whenever there's something good, and blaming it on me when something happens. I also want to know what I did in my past life that angered the heavens and people, so that in this life, my parents don't love me, and my relatives are trying to harm me behind my back. "
"It's none of your business. Isn't the Jia Lian your son?"
Jia Xie was startled. He didn't understand how this matter was related to the Jia Lian. He hurriedly looked at Wen Dongyan and asked, "What does he mean? What does it have to do with Brother Chain? Also, the Old Madam has always loved Minmei. How could she be so cruel as to harm her? "
"The Old Madam Jia probably didn't expect things to turn out like this." Wen Dongyan sighed, "Back then, Prince Zhongyi's position as the Crown Prince was in jeopardy. The Retired Emperor also liked the Third Prince, who was born after him, and the Seventh Prince, who was born after Imperial Concubine Zhen. The four princes and eight dukes were all involved in the struggle for the throne. However, ever since the Old Duke of Rongguo Province passed away, his descendants were all useless. They had no way to fight for the throne, so in the end, they could only start with the Lin family. Brother Ruhai had long been hated by the princes because he maintained a neutral position. However, Brother Ruhai was cautious, so they didn't know where to start. It wasn't until the Old Madam Jia secretly gave them information about the Lin family that they found the opportunity to secretly drug them. Later, the Retired Emperor abdicated and the new Emperor ascended the throne. The drug stopped, but Lady Lin's body was ruined. Brother Ruhai's condition was better because he was a man. Later, Lady Lin passed away. After Second Master Lian came to Yangzhou, he gave a letter to Lady Lin's escorts. Those escorts followed the orders of the higher-ups and used Brother Ruhai's name to commit crimes outside. They only did things like occupying farmland and robbing other people's property. The farmer we met was just one of them. "
"Then the 500 taels of silver …?"
"After the woodshed caught fire, Feng Su was afraid that the whole house would burn down in time, so he asked his two daughters-in-law to take the money hidden in his house. We have been monitoring the Feng family for many days. We know what kind of situation Madam Zhen Feng is in the Feng family, so we sympathize with her … "The secret guard secretly glanced at Shuijing. Seeing that he wasn't angry, he continued," We took the initiative to knock the two women out and put them in the place where Madam Zhen Feng passed by … "
"And we loosened the cloth bag so that Madam Zhen Feng could see the money inside?" Shuijing raised his eyebrows and asked.
The secret guard hurriedly lowered his head and didn't say anything.
Wen Dongyan waved his goose feather fan and sighed, "For 10 taels of silver, he can force his daughter to die. Now that he lost 500 taels of silver, I'm afraid Feng Su will faint from anger. However, his two daughters-in-law are not good people. I'm afraid the Feng family will be very lively in the future. "
Shuijing thought for a while and asked puzzledly, "Isn't Feng Su a miser? How can he let his two daughters-in-law go to his room to take money? Isn't he afraid that they will embezzle all his money?"
It was a family that didn't belong to the same family. The two sons and daughters-in-law of the Feng family seemed to be filial because all the property of the Feng family was in the hands of Feng Su. If Feng Su didn't have any money, although he wouldn't be thrown out of the family, he certainly wouldn't be able to enjoy the treatment of the master anymore.
The secret guard replied, "According to our investigation, Feng Su hid a large amount of money, house deeds, land deeds, and land deeds separately. Maybe it was to prevent others from stealing these things while he was away. The other people in the Feng family didn't know where these things were hidden. "
Shuijing nodded in understanding. That's right. People who liked to cheat others were very suspicious. They were afraid that one day they would fall into someone else's trap. "What about Madam Zhen Feng? Where is she now? "
