Wang Shaofu felt ashamed and said quickly: "Yes, I took a rest last night and rushed back to Wuxi at dawn today."
The prince wondered: "Why is he leaving so quickly? Are you afraid that this case will implicate him?"
After hearing this, Mr. Wang quickly denied: "No, no, since he dared to send Huang Chengde to the capital, why would he still be afraid? He heard that the eldest princess had gone to Wuxi and was afraid that the Lu family would not treat her well, so he rushed back.
"
When the prince heard this, he remembered that his eldest sister had gone to Wuxi.
"Then did he leave any words?"
Mr. Wang nodded and solemnly said: "I'll keep it."
"He said the emperor will protect the king."
When the prince heard this, his eyes narrowed coldly.
"This is absolutely impossible. My father has always been fair and strict. He will never tolerate such a big matter."
Wang Shaofu sighed: "I agree with what he said."
"Young Master..."
The prince looked surprised.
Wang Shaofu said: "Your Highness, the Emperor is old."
After he finished speaking, there was silence in the room.
The next day, Huang Shaoyu, the prefect of Henan Province, sued Yan Haoguang, the Minister of Household Affairs, Shi Hongjun, and Luo Huai, the former prefect of Henan Province. The case shocked the government and the public. It involved a total of nearly 420,000 taels of disaster relief money. The amount of corruption was unprecedented.
Surprisingly, this case was not tried by the three judicial departments, but by the Ministry of Criminal Justice.
When the prince learned about it, the manic and depressive mood in his chest became even more uncontrollable.
…
The eldest princess came to Wuxi to discuss matters related to Fengqi Academy. Officials such as prefects and magistrates from several nearby prefectures came to pay their respects one after another.
The eldest princess is impatient to see them, but this does not affect their eagerness to see them. They can even go to Fengqi Academy for a tour and write poetry or something by the way after being rejected?
Wang Xiu accidentally saw that the white wall of the academy was almost covered with paintings, so he quickly asked Qian Liangcai and his people to cover it with a cloth overnight to stop them from writing graffiti.
After the eldest princess learned about it, she wondered: "But they have all painted it now, what's the use of covering one of them?"
Wang Xiudao: "Of course it is useful. I left that piece for Lu Yunhong, waiting for him to paint and write poems. In this way, the entire academy wall will be upgraded at once."
The eldest princess: "..." Why does she ask??
It's her own unhappy marriage, Wang Xiu is so sweet here!!
…
Qingquan Village, Lujia.
Since the eldest princess came to Wuxi, the three Lu sisters moved back to their old home.
Zhang Jiaxu, who escorted them all the way back, stayed at the Lu family and did not go back to Taizhou.
Mrs. Chen said to Lu Shouchang in private: "How about agreeing to this marriage? I think Zhang Jiasanlang is sincere."
Lu Shouchang stroked his beard and said, "Don't be in a hurry, let's wait until Yun Hong comes back before deciding."
In order to avoid criticism, Lu Shouchang drove Zhang Jiaxu to the library to keep company with Pei Shan. Gao Yonghuai, the son of Gao Zhifu, also returned to the library because his father had settled the marriage contract between him and his cousin.
He originally thought that he would express his feelings to Lu Yunran when he had the opportunity.
Who would have thought that on the first day Zhang Jiaxu went to the library, he tidied up the bed and set up the bookshelves alone, as if he was staying there forever.
Out of courtesy, Pei Shan and Gao Yonghuai went to help him.
Pei Shan asked: "Brother Zhang, isn't he studying in the Imperial College? Why do you suddenly want to come to Wuxi?"
Zhang Jiaxu said frankly: "I'm here to get married. Thanks to Wang Siye, he wants to be a matchmaker for me and the eldest lady of the Lu family. It's because of my incompetence that I couldn't get the Lu family to agree to the marriage. But I can get married with the Lu family.
It’s my blessing from Zhang Jiaxu, so I want to strive for it again.”
Pei Shan was shocked, these days, do you have to personally come forward to find a wife?
Looking at Zhang Jiaxu's appearance, he seems to be refusing to go home until he can talk to his wife.
Gao Yonghuai was slightly startled. He had heard the news before, but now that he heard Zhang Jiaxu say it, he felt that his thoughts were extremely obscure.
If his mother hadn't caused trouble in the first place, would he...
Gao Yonghuai went out quickly. When Zhang Jiaxu saw this, his eyes darkened slightly.
He just said it on purpose. Gao Yonghuai was so gloomy and wanted to steal his wife from him, but there was no way.
Pei Shan was still cleaning his desk, looking very well-behaved.
Zhang Jiaxu also knew that he was Lu Yunhong's first disciple and wanted to make friends with him, so he asked, "Aren't you bored here copying books all day long?"
Pei Shan wondered: "It is a great good thing for scholars to have books to copy. How can they be bored?"
Hearing this, Zhang Jiaxu couldn't help but laugh and said: "That's true, but not everyone can sit still. Your temperament is very suitable for studying."
Pei Shan said: "Of course I will study hard and repay my teacher's wife in the future."
Zhang Jiaxu looked at Pei Shan's satisfied look and thought, shouldn't he be repaying his master?
However, he heard that Wang Xiu was very kind to Pei Shan, so he did not continue the topic. The eldest lady of the Wang family might also be called Da Guzi in the future.
…
Lu Yunhong drove all night, and the journey seemed to be eight hundred miles in a hurry.
When he arrived at the city of Wuxi, it was still dark and the city gates were closed. He leaned against the city and rested for a while. The vast mountains in his eyes gradually revealed themselves in the mist. The old man who got up early held a torch and walked slowly with a load.
.
There are two other people, grandfather and grandson, carrying baskets on their backs. They don’t know what they are going to the city to sell early in the morning.
The fragrance of flowers in the mountains filled the air between his mouth and nose, and the chattering voice gradually became clearer. Lu Yunhong was leaning against the wall, looking like a lonely wanderer. But what no one knew was that when he saw the lit torch, what he was thinking about was
It's Wang Xiu under the lamp.
When they left this time, they didn't say a word that they wouldn't be used to without each other. He knew that people who do great things should not indulge in gentleness, and she also understood that not holding back was the best compliment to him.
But at this moment, he deeply understood that the fireworks between the two people were not life, but their care for each other.
He has never been like this before. Even though he has traveled so many inns and stayed in the mountains and forests for so long, his heart is so solid and gentle, without a trace of bloody anger or irritable and uneasy fear. He has many,
That touch of tenderness on the tip of his heart was thinking of the smiling face waiting for him at home.
When I got home, the gentle morning light fell on the courtyard wall.
When Qian Liangcai saw him, he was surprised and happy.
"Uncle, are you back?"
Lu Yunhong looked at the guards in front of the villa and asked, "The eldest princess lives here?"
Qian Liangcai nodded quickly and explained: "It is said that the garden bought by Meili has not been repaired yet, and the young master is a little unwell."
Lu Yunhong nodded slightly and went to the main room.
Qian Liangcai quickly stopped him and said, "Uncle, grandma is staying in the guest room."
Lu Yunhong was a little unhappy when he heard this.
Although the princess is a king, how can she stay in the main courtyard since she is a guest?
Qian Liangcai saw his confused expression and knew that he had misunderstood, so he quickly lowered his voice and explained: "His Royal Highness lives in the east courtyard."
Lu Yunhong was confused, why did Axiu stay in the guest room?
However, he couldn't wait for a moment and rushed to the guest room.
