"Why does the Lin family regret their marriage?" Huo Weilou asked calmly.
Sun Zhao sighed, "I don't know. The Bo family was involved in the corruption case of the Ministry of Households earlier, Lord Hou knew about it. Lin Shilang didn't say anything at the time, and it didn't seem to be because of it. Someone went to Lin's house to make a fuss, so it spread among the people, but the specific reason was unknown to the lower officials, and they never asked Lin Shilang."
Huo Weilou didn't ask any more questions, and just said: "Okay, I'll wait for her for a while, and you go and do your work."
Sun Zhao knew that Huo Weilou was only here to accompany Bo Ruoyou, so he ordered the yamen servant to serve tea and left.
There are a lot of files in the internal treasury. Wu Xiang took Bo Ruoyou to look at the case records of Jianhe twenty years ago. He pointed to the two rows of tall cabinets in front of him, yawned and said, "Look, is it scary? If it weren't for the lack of manpower, I wouldn't have to suffer this crime. I took these few and read it for half a day, but I only read dozens of books, and there are hundreds of books on it, so what should I do?"
Wu Xiang's complexion was gloomy, his eyes were blue and black, his stomach was still growling after he finished his words, his face flushed, he was a little embarrassed, Bo Ruoyou laughed, "Catch the head and take them to dinner first, Then I will take a short nap in the room and come back after recuperating, and I will help you look at it right now, so it’s not considered a waste of time for you.”
Wu Xiang glanced at Huo Weilou sitting under the west window, thinking that Huo Weilou was here, and they were quite restrained, so she thanked Huo Weilou repeatedly and left the warehouse with Huo Weilou.
Seeing that they were all gone, Huo Weilou got up and walked towards Bo Ruoyou, Bo Ruoyou searched for the file according to the time and said: "Captain Wu and the others have been watching for a long time, and they still have time to eat."
Huo Weilou didn't care about these things, he glanced at the file on the cabinet, and frowned slightly, "Ten years ago, the capital was not peaceful."
These two rows of cabinets are all Jianhe files from around 20 years ago. Compared with today, it does give people the feeling that cases are frequent. Bo Ruoyou didn't know why his eyes were dark, and Huo Weilou pondered: "The Jingzhao in those years The chief official of the Yi Yamen, surnamed Wang, was later convicted of corruption and is still in prison today."
Huo Weilou only returned to the capital five years ago. Twenty years after the founding of peace, he was not yet thirteen years old. He had just joined the army and went to the north, so naturally he couldn't remember clearly. Things are hard to know.
Bo Ruoyou can't remember clearly, she left Beijing ten years ago, and more than a year later, when her parents had an accident, she was still young at that time, before returning to Beijing this year, she even Forget what the capital looks like.
Bo Ruoyou went to get the files according to the progress of Wu Xiang and others' review, "If someone really came to report to the government at that time, they would definitely leave a record. After reading these files, they can always be found."
Huo Weilou took the file from the top of the cupboard for her, and the two went back to the table and chairs under the west window to sit down, Bo Ruoyou was quite attentive when looking at the file, while Huo Weilou was thinking about other things, "Mr. Cheng hasn't been to the Lin Mansion these days."
Bo Ruoyou said without raising her head: "Yes, Aunt Lin's condition improved, so he went there every four or five days. Before today, he hadn't gone for four days."
Huo Weilou responded and didn't say anything more.
…
Cheng Yunzhi came to the Lin Mansion for a few days, and as soon as he arrived in front of the Lin Mansion in a carriage today, he heard crying and crying outside, and there were some discussions. When he lifted the curtain to look, Zhou Liang also reined in the horse.
They were still a little far apart, but that was the case. Cheng Yunzhi also caught sight of Mrs. Hu and Bo Yixian's mother and daughter. She was standing in front of the Lin's residence, shouting something inside, while Bo Yixuan stood there with a sullen face. Standing in front of him, he was trying to persuade him in a low voice, but Mrs. Hu not only refused to listen, but also scolded him angrily. Bo Yixuan blushed in front of everyone, turned around and left angrily.
"Is this Lin family really treacherous people?"
"Hush, don't dare to say that, Lin Shilang's official voice is very good, I think there is a reason for it."
"It's Mr. Bo who was convicted earlier and deprived of his official status. Now he is afraid that he is on the road to exile..."
The murmured voices of the common people came into the carriage, and Cheng Yun understood the general idea when he heard it. He put down the curtain and asked Zhou Liang to go to the side door of Lin's house.
Outside the side door, as soon as he knocked on the door, footsteps came from behind the door, and the back door was opened a crack, and seeing Cheng Yunzhi standing outside, the servants respectfully invited him in.
When Lin Huai saw Lin Huai in the main courtyard, Lin Huai had a bitter expression on his face, "You have been to the main gate before you came around?"
Cheng Yunzhi was drinking tea, and the old god said, "Why did this happen?"
Lin Huai sighed, "Originally we lived in peace, but they insisted on arguing to advance the marriage, and Shuning, who was so angry, fell ill and almost died, and then she didn't know how to pester Zhao'er, which also made Zhao'er not happy about this. Although the family marriage has been engaged for many years, but thinking of the many troubles that will arise after the two get married, I discussed with his mother and decided to call off the marriage."
"Yixian's mother is not easy to get along with, but Yixian can be counted as we watched her grow up and divorced her marriage. Her daughter's family has the worst face, so we asked them to find an official media to divorce the marriage, but when they heard us With this in mind, she decided not to do it, first came to the mansion to make a scene twice, and Shu Ning was a little angry, and when they were not allowed to enter, she made a scene outside the mansion."
Lin Huai spread his hands, "You think I can do anything else, but fortunately, I haven't made up my mind yet, and I haven't gotten married yet. Otherwise, if the two families really become in-laws in the future, wouldn't they come to us even more?"
Cheng Yunzhi took two sips of tea, "I'm going to ask Shuning for pulse."
Lin Huai hadn't finished complaining, and when he saw this, he knew that Cheng Yunzhi didn't want to get involved in this matter, but when he came to Chu Shuning, it was inevitable that Chu Shuning would sigh and say, "We were still caring about it for many years before." Because of their affection, we couldn't bear to divorce them, for this reason, we feel sorry for Youyou, and we feel guilty in every way, and we never thought that this would happen."
Chu Shuning caressed her heart and sighed, "Let them make trouble, for two days at most, we don't want to lose face or affection, go straight to report to the officials, and see what the yamen say."
Such picking quarrels and provoking troubles should never have happened, not to mention the status of the Lin family. Once the report is made to the government, the Bo family will seldom say that they will go to the government office for a while. The new prescription is about to say goodbye.
Before leaving, Chu Shuning held back a word, and couldn't help asking: "Why haven't Youyou come over these few days?"
"There are cases in the yamen these days, and she goes to the yamen every day."
Lin Huai said: "I heard that it was the Nan'an County King's garden that killed someone."
Cheng Yunzhi should have said that Lin Huai personally sent him away before he stayed in the mansion, and when he returned to the room, he heard Chu Shuning say bitterly: "It seems that Yunzhi has really given up on marrying us, but From what he said, Youyou is still working as a clerk in the yamen, if things go on like this, what kind of good marriage can you get?"
Lin Huai reassured: "You don't have to worry about this. Zhao'er has withdrawn from the marriage, and he is not in a hurry to say goodbye. Besides, there are so many families with daughters in the capital, so why can't he choose one he likes?"
Chu Shuning lay down, "It's the word "favorite" that is the most rare."
As soon as Cheng Yunzhi came out of the side door, he saw a figure flashing by the corner of the street. Without thinking about it, he got into the carriage and went back to his home. As soon as he left, the figure on the corner of the street flashed out again, and then went to the main entrance. After a while, he ran Arrived next to the carriage of Bo's family.
Sitting in the carriage was a weeping Hu family and Bo Yixian, who had just settled down. When they heard that Cheng Yunzhi had come out of the Lin mansion, both of them changed expression. Hu said through gritted teeth, "I just said why the Lin family wanted to divorce! It turned out that the cripple came out of it." Make trouble!"
Bao Yixian went to Lin's house with Mrs. Hu to intercede for two consecutive days, crying and complaining, she didn't even want face, but the Lin family didn't soften her heart, she was already full of despair, and when she thought that the Lin family had withdrawn her marriage, she wanted to Letting Lin Zhao marry Bo Ruoyou made her unwilling and angry.
…
Bo Ruoyou looked at the file and saw it was dusk, and after seeing it, Huo Weilou also read it with her. Who would have thought that the aloof Wu Zhaohou would be able to look up these trivial old case records here
From the 20th year of Jianhe to the 19th year of Jianhe, except for a few homicides, most of them were petty thefts, fights, or some neighborhood disputes, let alone Huo Weilou, or Bo Ruo. Youdu looked a little sleepy, seeing that it was getting late, Bo Ruoyou put away the files he had read, and planned to leave the government office with Huo Weilou.
She held a stack of files in front, and Huo Weilou followed behind with a pile of files, and arrived at the cabinet. After putting it away, Huo Weilou came to help him. He is tall and has long arms, and the highest point can be easily reached. Seeing him doing these things Bo Ruoyou looked at him unblinkingly.
Huo Weilou put away the book on the highest place, and when he lowered his eyes, he saw her looking at him, the afterglow of the setting sun outside the window shone into the window lattice, reflecting her gentle eyebrows and eyes, Huo Weilou's heart moved slightly, he stepped forward to bully her, and pushed her against On the cabinet.
Bo Ruoyou was startled, and quickly looked at the door, there were guards outside the door, and Wu Xiang and the others were probably coming back.
"Lord Hou—"
"Fear not, I can hear you, no one is coming in."
Huo Weilou leaned over to kiss her cheek, thin and thin kisses kept falling, and soon covered her lips, Bo Ruoyou didn't know where his intention came from, she grunted in her throat and didn't push him away, his kiss gradually deepened, rubbing She fell into his arms, and the book rustled behind her. After a long while, Huo Weilou let her go, and the lust in her phoenix eyes was surging, a little hot.
Bo Ruoyou was short of breath, her red lips were bright, her eyes were wet, her face was flushed, she leaned against his arms weakly, her heart was beating fast and heavy because she was afraid of people coming.
Huo Weilou suppressed the desire in his heart, stroked her hair again and waited for her to calm down, then said softly for a moment: "Your Majesty's will is in these few days, you have a preparation in mind."
