Chapter 313:
It’s scary to help an honest person get angry. Those two survivors didn’t stand up to the pressure at all, and they quickly got angry.
It turned out that it was Bai Tingyu of the Bai family who ordered people to intercept and kill Gu Tingye, the second son of Ningyuan Hou. Wang Yue and Chang Bai suffered the same fate. In order not to leak the news, those people wanted to kill the two of them together and throw them into the house. Feed fish in the river.
Sheng Hong was frightened after hearing the words of the two survivors. He was the second son of the Ningyuan Hou family. If he was killed like this while staying in his house temporarily, how could he afford it? He was just a little boy. Just an official.
Shenghong's opinion of the Yuan family's elder brother now deepened. He was already a fan of officials, but now he felt even more that his position was too humble, so that the Yuan family could ignore it so much. Not only did he arrange for people to bet on wild geese, And bring such a trouble.
Of course, Sheng Hong was also a little worried about Hua Lan. After all, it was his first child.
However, in Shenghong's heart, his children's affairs were not as important as his official position. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, so he quickly took the two survivors to the government office to meet the magistrate of Suzhou.
When Zhizhou heard the report, he was very suspicious. Why did Sheng Hong, a well-rounded person, suddenly become so impatient? His heart immediately became excited.
When Zhizhou met Sheng Hong and listened to the details told by Sheng Hong, Zhizhou was also frightened into a cold sweat. He wanted to go one step further. If Gu Tingye, a naughty boy, died on his territory in Suzhou, his official career might be ruined. It's really over.
The two official fans discussed for a while, and they both felt that no matter what, they would make Gu Erlang angry, so they joined forces to attack the Bai family.
It is certain that the Bai family will suffer. After all, this is when the evidence is solid. Businessmen like the Bai family can't make any waves at all. It didn't take long for all the men in the Bai family to be controlled.
Fortunately, Gu Tingye was thinking about his grandfather and came forward to say a kind word. He made it clear that he would only take back the share of the family property that his grandfather gave him and would not pursue it any further.
Zhizhou and Shenghong were of course very happy. They had been hoping that the big thing would be turned into a trivial matter. Seeing that the matter was handled like this, they felt relieved and the two of them quickly started to deal with the follow-up matters.
After all, if this public assassination is not handled well, it will affect the evaluation of Suzhou officials.
Suzhou officials were all busy with the finishing work. Almost all of them lived in the yamen and could not take care of their families for a while.
When Sheng Hong got busy, he also forgot about Lin Sushuang, the concubine. After all, the concubine was not as important as his official career.
Sheng Hong, the man in charge of the family, had forgotten about it, and Mrs. Shanda must have made herself forget it, so she asked Lin Xiaoniang to stay in the wing, waiting for Sheng Hong to come and release him.
However, the eldest lady was still not so cruel. She still didn't dare to starve Lin Xiaoniang. She just locked her up for a few days and refused to let her out.
A concubine is a concubine. Under this situation, the servants in the house did not dare to release her without permission. The people under Lin Xiaoniang were also frightened and did not know what was going on.
...
During this period, Wang Yue often stayed with Chang Bai and Gu Tingye. Of course, he could not live in the Sheng family like Gu Tingye. He could only come on horseback early in the morning and leave quickly in the evening.
The rules of the Sheng family are still acceptable. Wang Yue has been going back and forth for a few days. Although the concierge of the Sheng family has not stopped Wang Yue, Wang Yue has never met any of the girls of the Sheng family.
On this day, Wang Yue entered the Sheng family again. When he was walking through the corridor to find Chang Bai and Gu Tingye, he met a cute little girl in a corridor.
The little girl walked furtively, and after looking around for no one, she threw a bag of things in the grass beside the corridor, and then hurried away.
After Wang Yue saw the little girl leaving, he walked over and picked it up. He found that it was some good tea leaves. He didn't understand why the little girl came here to throw these things away, so he picked up the tea leaves and went to Changbai. 's residence.
Chang Bai and Gu Tingye were chatting. He saw that Wang Yue came with something this time, so he smiled and said, "Did the sun come out from the west today? You actually came to the door with something." Gu Tingye also felt strange, Wang
Yue He has always been free and easy when getting along with the two of them, and never brought any gifts. Now seeing Wang Yue acting so strange, he also looked at Wang Yue curiously.
Wang Yue rolled his eyes and said to Changbai with a smile, "This is something I picked up in the corridor of your home. Your family is really rich. Such good tea leaves are just thrown away in the grass." Wang Yue
said After finishing, he handed the tea to Chang Bai. He sat down casually and poured himself a cup of tea without bothering others.
Changbai took the tea and checked it carefully, and found that it was exactly the same as what his family had purchased recently. He immediately understood that something must have happened to his family.
However, Changbai couldn't say anything in front of Wang Yue and Gu Tingye about this kind of thing, so he forced a smile and said, "Maybe that person was careless. It's not certain that it fell in the yard. Just leave it here with me." , let’s entertain the two distinguished guests.”
Wang Yue and Gu Tingye also knew that this was a private matter of the Sheng family, so they did not get involved in the main idea. Together they happily talked about political affairs with Chang Bai. The three of them were teenagers, and they also criticized the current ills and spoke freely. , the chat was very pleasant.
Just when the three of them were having fun, a boy suddenly came to report, "Second Master, Wei Xiaoniang suddenly went into labor. Today the old lady went to the Taoist temple on the mountain. The master and the eldest lady were not at home either. The few that were prepared were All the midwives are either not at home or out drinking. Miss Xiaodie next to Wei Xiaoniang has asked you to come here. What do you think you should do?" After Changbai heard this, he was a little confused. He didn't do such a thing
. After meeting him, he subconsciously asked, "Where is Lin Xiaoniang, who is temporarily acting as housekeeper for this period of time?"
After hearing this, the young man smiled awkwardly, and then said, "Lin Xiaoniang is now locked up in the big house. She hasn’t come out of the lady’s wing yet.”
Changbai glared at the boy, he also remembered what happened that day, but he didn’t expect that his mother would take the opportunity to lock up Lin Xiaoniang.
Changbai glanced at Wang Yue and Gu Tingye awkwardly, and then said quickly, "Then what are you waiting for? Go outside and ask for the midwife and doctor." The
boy was relieved after receiving Changbai's instructions. He squeezed the silver ingot in his hand and hurriedly went out to find Xiaodie and asked her to go out and ask the doctor. He didn't take Xiaodie's silver in vain.
After Wang Yue saw the young man go away, he thought that since he met him, he might as well help him, so he quickly reminded, "Brother Changbai, I think the situation in your family is a bit complicated. Now you should move to the main courtyard to take charge." , you can hear the news at any time, and you can arrange it calmly. The person who makes the decision in your family is not here. At this time, it is time for you, the legitimate son, to be the director." After hearing Wang Yue's words, Changbai also felt that it was reasonable. The midwife dared to be so contemptuous
. The master was either not at home or drunk. Someone must have instigated this. He quickly confessed to Wang Yue and Gu Tingye and went to the main courtyard to wait for news.
I don't know how long it took, but when Wang Yue was about to go home, Chang Bai came back very tired. He smiled and said to Wang Yue, "Fortunately, I listened to you and was waiting nearby. Those servants didn't dare to cheat this time. I got a new brother today, but Miss Wei is still seriously injured, and I don't know how long it will take for her to recover." Wang Yue looked at Chang Bai's tired expression
. He looked like this and comforted him with a smile, "Women giving birth have been like going through hell since ancient times. Don't take it to heart. You have done your best today." Gu Tingye also said quickly, "
This brother of yours is destined to be with you. I want to come here." Brother, when I grow up, I will listen to your words." After
listening to Gu Tingye's words, Changbai smiled when he thought of the wrinkled child.
...
Not long after this incident, the news of Sheng Hong's promotion came through. This made Gu Tingye, who wanted to leave after finishing his work, stayed again, preparing to take the Sheng family's ship to go to Tokyo together.
Wang Yue also got the news quickly. When he came to Sheng Mansion that day and chatted with Chang Bai and Gu Erlang, he said somewhat depressedly, "Chang Bai, I feel that you are deceiving me. You said you would let me , I studied with Zhuang Xuexue at your home, but you are going to the capital soon, isn’t this just deceiving people?”
Changbai was also a little embarrassed. He said with a smile, "It's not my fault. I didn't expect that my father would go to Beijing to be an official." Gu Tingye saw Wang Yue teasing Changbai and said with a smile, "
Wang Yue, why don't you do the same?" Come to the capital, wouldn't it be nice for the three of us to be together and be classmates?"
Wang Yue was not worried about not being able to get together with Gu Er and Sheng Er. He was just worried about what would happen if the Sheng family ran to the capital. A servant left the Sheng family, and he didn't know that if that person happened to be someone related to him, wouldn't he die of old age in the world of knowing?
This was not something Wang Yue wanted to see, so he had to find a way. This seemed to be a reason.
Wang Yue's grandfather was not bad, and his official position was not low, but Wang Yue's father failed in the imperial examination and was obsessed with business. He relied on his grandfather's relationship to become a minor official, and he was unable to educate himself properly.
Thinking of this, Wang Yue discussed with his father when he returned home about following the Sheng family to Tokyo. However, although his father failed the imperial examination, that was the reason why his strategy was not favored by others, and his IQ was still there.
Father Wang looked at his playful son, wondering if his son wanted to go out to play, so he asked suspiciously, "If you want to learn, what's the future of going to that scholar Zhuang? How about I send you back to your hometown in Fuzhou?" Wouldn't it be more stable in school?"
Wang Yue patted his head, he really forgot that at this period, when Wang Anshi was still in the prime of life, the family school that could cultivate so many Jinshi from the Wang family was better than that Zhuangxuetuo is very good.
