Yun Qing and Yuxi hate corrupt officials the most, and the imperial court also severely punished corrupt officials. Wang Yingda and his party members confiscate the family property of Mo, and all of them beheaded, and all family members over ten years old are exiled to the border town.
When this decree came to Brother You'er, he knew that this mission was completed.
I asked Zhao Qian to go to the largest restaurant in Luzhou to order a table of noodles, and then invited Zong Siyuan to wait for the people who came with him to handle the case for dinner.
Cao Cao chicken, braised stinky mandarin fish, hodgepodge, tribute goose, braised prawns with tea, rice noodles roast pork, tiger fur tofu, fried pork with bisporus soy sauce, and baby pigeon soup, a series of local specialties are on the table.
Seeing a table full of dishes, Zong Siyuan finally couldn't help but said: "His Royal Highness, this is too rich. It completely violates the imperial system." The imperial court has a rule that officials can not spend more than a fixed amount for meals outside, and this fixed amount is based on grades. Coming. But the delicious dishes on this table, plus wine, must be hundreds of taels. I don't know how much it exceeds the quota.
Brother You said with a smile: "As the prince, I must lead by example and cannot make an exception by myself. This time, I asked you. This time everyone has worked hard for investigating the case. The banquet that I ordered is a special reward. Go down you guys." His pockets are thick, and it's not a big deal to invite a visitor.
Zong Siyuan is not a person who doesn't know how to be flexible. Even if Brother You is a guest, he is not afraid of Yushi's impeachment: "Thank you, your Highness." Wang Yingda also thinks that he is really a dude prince who knows nothing. But I don't know that the little majesty is shrewd, and he was praised by Shangshu in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Ministry of Husbandry. Want to fool him, dreaming!
Everyone enjoyed this meal. After eating, Brother You said: "This case is over. You can return to Beijing after you cut off Wang Yingda and their heads." Because these people committed too serious crimes, they did not wait for the Qiu Judgment and directly issued the imperial decree. They beheaded their heads to show their example to others.
Zong Siyuan felt wrong when he heard this, and asked: "His Royal Highness, aren't you going back to Beijing with us?"
"No, it's hard to come here. I want to taste the delicacies from all over the world." Yun Qing and Yuxi just knew about going to Shandong, so there was no need to tell Zong Siyuan.
In case his mouth didn't reveal the goalkeeper's whereabouts, who knew the danger would be. It would not be beautiful to invite an assassin.
Zong Siyuan asked hurriedly: "His Royal Highness, have the emperor and the queen agreed?"
"If my parents don't agree, I won't be able to go!" This time, parents were generous and allowed him to play until he went home before the end of the year. Now at the beginning of September, there are still four months before the New Year. Enough for him to eat the special snacks along the road. Think about it, it feels pretty beautiful.
After the emperor agreed, Zong Siyuan naturally had no objections.
On the second day, Brother You and Zong Siyuan left Luzhou. After walking together for three days, the two parted ways.
Hearing that Brother You went to Shandong to pay homage to Saint Kong, Brother Xuan was very envious.
Brother Xuan hesitated for a long time, and finally approached Yun Qing and said to Yuxi: "Father and mother, I also want to worship Saint Kong." Brother You just used Saint Kong as an excuse. He didn't like studying since he was a child. How can I really admire Confucius. It was Brother Xuan, but he really worshipped Saint Kong.
Yun Qing felt that when Brother Xuan thought about it, he said, "Your errands are gone?"
Many people cut their heads and want to find errands, but for Brother Xuan, working as an errand in the Ministry of Rites is really like a year. As soon as I mentioned it this time, Brother Xuan summoned up the courage to say: "Father, mother, I don't want to be a errand in the Ministry of Rites."
Yun Qing frowned and said, "Why? I feel bad about the Ministry of Etiquette? Then which government office do you want to go to as a errand?" Brother Xuan is no better than Brother You, and asked him to go to the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households and other important offices. .
Brother Xuan shook his head and said, "I don't want to be a errand anymore. Father and mother, I don't like doing these things."
"If so what do you like?"
Brother Xuan was a little timid when he saw that Yun Qing was unhappy, but he was really unhappy during this period of time: "I like studying.
Dad, mother, I still want to go back to Baitan Academy to study. "The two years in Baitan Academy have been a happy time in his life. Therefore, he is eager to go back.
Yun Qing's face suddenly darkened: "How old are you and still studying? You will get a wife in two years. Do you want me and your mother to provide you with a caregiver and child?"
Brother Xuan also thought about this: "I want to open a pawnshop first. When I make money, I will open another shop, selling the four treasures of the study, calligraphy and painting and books."
Yun Qing looked at Yuxi, ready to listen to her opinion. After opening the calligraphy and painting shop, I knew that Brother Xuan was thinking about things for a long time.
Yuxi smiled and asked, "Why do you want to open a pawn shop and calligraphy and painting shop?"
"Opening a pawnshop is not cumbersome, as long as you have a hard backer and find an eye-catching consecration shopkeeper. As for opening a calligraphy and painting shop, it is because I often use these things and understand them better. And when the shop opens in the future, I can take advantage of it. I have made friends with more scholars with lofty ideals." These are all decisions he made after careful consideration.
Yuxi did not object, but said: "Give you a year. If you have made money in both of these shops, I will do what you want. If it doesn't work, you don't want to think about it anymore. The Ministry of Etiquette works as a errand." This also put pressure on Brother Xuan.
"But I'm afraid I don't have that much energy." He was afraid that he would not be able to cope with the need to be a errand and open a shop.
Yun Qing said displeasedly: "Ayou is also working as a errand while opening a shop, and now he has opened three shops without delaying the errand. He still started from scratch, your starting point is much higher than him." Said Brother Xuan's starting point. Gao, because he knew that Brother Xuan was going to open a shop, and he would definitely ask Brother You for help.
"Okay!" There is a brother who is too capable, and it's so stressful to be an older brother! However, as long as you do it well, you can get rid of this boring life. Think about it, Xuan Ge'er is full of energy.
After Brother You left, Yun Qing said unhappily, "Why let him go to school?" Others kept studying to gain fame. Brother Xuan is of no use to studying, and he thinks that the more he studies, the silly he becomes.
"He has no ambitions, to persecute him, wait for a long time and get bored, and staying in the Ministry of Etiquette is also a mess." Yuxi said: "His ambition is to become a learned university student, and it is reluctant to let him be an errand. Since he thinks so well, let's follow his wishes! Let him do what he likes, and he can live comfortably." They are so desperate, does it mean that they can give children more choices. .
Anyway, Brother Xuan is not the eldest son, and it is not a bad thing to like to learn. It's just that Yun Qing is a little worried: "I'm afraid he reads too much and reads as a nerd."
"Learning, you can't work behind closed doors. After he gets married, let him go on a study tour." Seeing Yun Qing's disagreement, Yuxi smiled: "Actually, I think Mr. Pang is pretty good. Wait for Brother Xuan to be successful. Those who are colleges and universities will write books and pass them down to the world, and they can be passed down through the ages. There is also light on your face."
"Don't be a nerd, I'm satisfied." Li Shu has been passed down through the ages, and he can't even think about it now.
Yuxi smiled and changed the subject: "Liu'er wrote last time that he will leave for Beijing in September. I count the time, and now it's time to leave!" This child has been out of Beijing for more than four months, and Yuxi is quite worried.
"Is it wrong to run around with a big belly? Let Liu'er give birth to a child and come back again!" Although the official road is relatively flat, it is still a bit bumpy. In case something happens, it is too late to regret.
Yuxi shook her head and said, "I can't help my son, and Liuer is no longer a child. She will have her own considerations when she acts. From now on, we won't take care of them." The child is older and becomes a parent. They will get bored too much, and Yuxi is not willing to do thankless things.
Thinking of Feng Zhixi by Liuer's side, Yun Qing didn't talk about it anymore. There is nothing to worry about when the father is around.
"Aju..." After three big sneezes in succession, tears flowed from Liu'er's eyes.
Feng Zhixi was too nervous, and gently patted Liu Er on the back and whispered, "Did you catch a cold?" After speaking, he hurriedly handed her a veil.
Liuer took the veil and wiped her mouth, then leaned on the thin silk blanket: "It's not a cold, but someone is talking about me. I just don't know if it's my parents or the eldest sister."
Feng Zhixi said helplessly: "In all likelihood, it's your parents and they are worried about you."
He originally meant to go back after having a child in Haocheng, but Liuer just didn't listen. I couldn't help Liu Er, so I could only agree.
Liuer ate a grape and said, "I don't want to stay in Gaocheng anymore." There are not a few people she knows here, and she has been smothered to death for more than four months.
"Furthermore, my mother is not by my side, I have no bottom in my heart." Although she has given birth to a child, but childbirth is a ghost gate, she still hangs her heart.
It's all out already, and it doesn't make sense anymore. Feng Zhixi changed the subject and said good news: "I heard that Ayou broke the big case of corruption in Anhui." Although he is in Gaocheng, he still has good news.
The younger brother is capable, and the elder sister has a bright face. Liu'er said with a smile, "Brother You are the best, and he has been in the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Housing in recent years. This job is not a difficult task for him." He was humble, but there was a hint of pride in his words. .
Feng Zhixi dismantled the stage: "Who said that the most mischievous and difficult one is the four princes."
"Smart kids have always been difficult to deal with. You brother was a troublemaker when he was a child, but now he has grown up, not only capable but also caring." When she was a child, she and You brother were both tired of seeing each other, but now they get along very well. Her mother said something very right, breaking the bones and connecting the tendons!
Feng Zhixi said bitterly: "I don't want my son to be like the Fourth Prince in the future." He has often heard of You Brother's great achievements. To have such a rebellious and difficult son would have to live ten years less. Moreover, if you don't teach well, I'm afraid it will be less than 20 years of life.
