The sky was turning white, and the wind that had been blowing outside the house all night was still raging in this land in the west.
Cui Liniang turned over and opened her eyes again. The person next to the pillow had already stood up and put on his robe. When he heard the noise, he turned around and looked at Cui Liniang. He smiled warmly and said, "Did I wake you up? It's still early. Why don't you go again?"
Get more sleep."
"Are you going again today?"
Lu Kaiyan nodded and said warmly: "You have a good rest at home."
Cui Liniang rubbed her eyes and sat up from the bed. When she saw Lu Kaiyan was about to tie his robe, she waved to him and said with a smile: "Come here, I will help you."
Lu Kaiyan did not refuse. He followed Cui Liniang's wishes and walked to the bedside with a smile. Cui Liniang knew that he had to get up early to go out and go to the government office. Now that the lawsuit in the yamen has not been found out, he, a long-time historian, naturally cannot ignore it. Sometimes.
As soon as he became busy, he would stay at the official office for several days without coming back. Although Cui Liniang knew that he was doing it for official duties, she still felt unavoidable in her heart.
Besides, she still remembered that there was something she hadn't told him... "Let's go after breakfast at home later. It's very windy outside."
"good."
Cui Liniang also quickly got up to wash up and have breakfast with Lu Kaiyan. In fact, there are no new breakfast options here, but they are mostly wontons and soup cakes, and that's all there is to go back and forth. She and Lu Kaiyan are quite different.
It is simple to use, and today is not much different from usual, just two soup cakes and a few side dishes.
In fact, Cui Liniang was still a little too happy to be true, but she didn't know how to talk to him this time. He came back after two days just like before. It was obvious that she had planned to tell him last night. It can be seen that
He came back late, with a tired look on his face, so she had no choice but to talk to him later, but who knew that he was going to be busy again this morning... As she was thinking about it, she asked: "By the way, those two lawsuits in the Yamen
Do you have any clues now? I see everyone is talking about it these days, even Mrs. Liu and others have asked about it." This matter has been delayed for almost six or seven days. I don't know why Qianfo Temple was suddenly attacked a few days ago.
People are sealed? Monks are not allowed to go out. Lu Kaiyan happens to be not at home, so she is curious and has nowhere to go to inquire about the news.
"It's a coincidence for you. Speaking of which, there is something really fishy here. I originally thought that Xue Shao had selfish motives for asking, but he just wanted to investigate the matter further, and he didn't mean to cover up in his words. I couldn't bear to brush it off immediately.
To save his face, he had no choice but to agree. However, no progress was seen for many days, so after much thought, he ordered the place to be sealed."
Sealed? Cui Liniang was a little surprised but not surprised. She thought it was Xue Shao's intention, but she also guessed that Lu Kaiyan had agreed to this matter. Although the theft was disgraceful, it was a bit strange to seal Qianfo Temple because of this lawsuit.
It's too exaggerated. "What happens after that?"
Lu Kaiyan said: "After that, I arranged for officers to interview people in the temple one by one, but did not say what the result was. After waiting for two days, I went to the temple to tell everyone that a monk had told him the truth, and he already knew the true story.
Whoever stole the property will be arrested in three days, and those who have given false testimony or spread rumors will be taken away together. Naturally, some people in the courtyard can't sit still and are uneasy. In just one day, they will be arrested.
Someone came to me and said something that I had never heard before in court. However, this mage has always been very calm. Although it has not been completely determined whether it has nothing to do with Master Kongji, there are some clues and the truth is close to the truth.
It’s just a matter of time.”
Cui Liniang nodded when she heard the words, but she felt that this style was a bit familiar... After thinking about it, wasn't this the method Lu mentioned before? Although this method is not very glorious, it still seems to have some effect. "I see.
, it seems that sometimes cheating is a good idea.”
Lu Kaiyan was amused when he heard this, nodded and said: "That's right, I'm just asking you to enter the urn. If you hadn't done something wrong, you wouldn't be so uneasy. You will know if you are a human or a ghost."
"I was worried about you at first. I was afraid that if this matter was not handled well, you would be disgraced and get a bad reputation. Now it seems that you have a plan." In fact, that's all she said.
He said that he had planned many things in advance since they got married...
Lu Kaiyan smiled warmly and said: "I know you are worried, but I know these things well, so don't worry too much about me. If you want to know something next time, just send the servants at home to the government office to ask.
, don’t be so worried again.”
Cui Liniang responded with a smile, "Okay."
Lu Kaiyan saw Cui Liniang glance at himself from time to time after asking, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? You keep looking at me, but today you don't recognize me? Do you have something else to say to me?"
Cui Liniang nodded, a little embarrassed. She put down the soup cake, still beating her heart. She knew that Lu Kaiyan was looking forward to the news... Seeing him looking at her with a smile, she felt a little embarrassed to speak, and supported
After hesitating for a long time, he said: "You... are going to be a grandpa."
Lu Kaiyan was stunned for a moment, but his eyes became brighter and brighter, "You mean?" Then his eyes fell on her belly.
Cui Liniang nodded shyly.
Hearing this, he immediately stood up and walked to Cui Liniang. He wanted to reach out and hug her, but he was afraid that he would be too strong. His tone was full of unbelievable joy, "When did it happen? Did you invite a doctor? Are you okay?"
Is there any discomfort?"
Although Cui Liniang was also happy, she felt that she was still rational in comparison, while Lu Kaiyan seemed to be stupidly happy. She couldn't help laughing and said angrily: "How could I know if I didn't ask a doctor?"
?”
Lu Kaiyan was not annoyed when he heard this, but his smile deepened. He nodded and said, "I got carried away for a moment! What did the doctor say?"
"Just say it's been two months. It should have been that time when I first came here." Cui Liniang blushed as she spoke and didn't dare to look at him. "Just said that everything is fine now and asked me to take good care of him.
I prescribed a few more anti-fetal medicines and came back to check my pulse after some time."
"Okay! Okay!" Lu Kaiyan happily picked up Cui Liniang and spun her around twice before carefully placing her on the ground.
Cui Liniang couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, but her tone was a bit coquettish, "You are really not afraid of removing the breakfast from my stomach."
"I'm really happy!" Although he and Cui Liniang have been married for a while, and they have always been in harmony with each other, and they are very loving, but now that he and Cui Liniang have a child, how can he not be happy?
Lu Kaiyan warned uneasily: "You must take good care of yourself. Don't go out and worry about those things at these times. I am responsible for everything outside. Don't worry about the trivial matters at home. Anyway, I will hire another steward to take care of you."
good."
Cui Liniang was a little dumbfounded, "I'm just pregnant with a child, I'm not bedridden like you said and can't take care of myself..."
Before she could finish speaking, someone covered her mouth.
Lu Kaiyan straightened his expression and said in a helpless tone, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Cui Liniang pulled his hand down and suppressed her smile, "Okay, okay, I'm just talking nonsense. I'll pay attention to it myself. This talk has delayed me for a long time. Don't you still have to go out? Hurry up and get your breakfast." Don’t be too late when you use it up.”
…
Lu Kaiyan's mood today has been very high since he left home in the morning. Although he can be considered restrained, a few colleagues noticed it and couldn't help but made a few jokes. Lu Kaiyan didn't tell them, but they all accepted the move in a good-tempered way. .
He planned to go to Qianfo Temple to see the situation again. After coming out of the government office, he saw Gao Yun, a member of the army, looking embarrassed and talking to a middle-aged man. When Gao Yun saw Lu Kaiyan, his eyes lit up, as if he was on the verge of amnesty. He Gao Yun He called out: "Lu Changshi!"
Lu Kaiyan nodded when he heard this, and Gao Yun immediately said to the warehouse manager: "Our chief historian is here, and he will naturally uphold justice if anything happens!"
So Ku Di Dalang rushed forward and pulled Lu Kaiyan to complain and cry out. Lu Kaiyan recognized Ku Di Dalang at a glance, turned around and asked Gao Yun in a deep voice: "What's going on?"
Gao Yun couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat and said: "For the record, this is the Kudi Dalang from last time. The last trial was postponed temporarily because the matter of Thousand Buddha Temple was not settled yet, and only Kudi's family was postponed. He was sent back to his original residence and kept under supervision, but he did not return home with Dalang Kudi. General Xue also heard about this two days ago and said that Kudi was unfilial to his parents and had committed a crime of disobedience. He should be punished in three days according to the law. Hanging, he also asked me to notify Dalang Kudi to send a coffin in the next two days to collect the body of Kudi, but this Dalang Kudi came today and refused to agree to handle the funeral arrangements for Kudi." My dear father, General. My daughter even went to court, but she was so cruel that she refused to accept the body. What is this? No, I don’t know if he is his biological father...
Xue Shao? Why did he have a hand in this matter? He didn't know whether what Kudi Dalang said was true or not, so he convicted Kudi family of disobedience? What's more, it seems that Kudisu Niang was still in contact with the Anxi Protectorate. There was some connection... Lu Kaiyan couldn't help but frowned. The officers were going to come up and take him away, but when Lu Kaiyan saw someone stopping around him, he felt it would be a bad influence, so he directly asked someone to take him into the Yamen, and Gao Yun followed him.
Kudi Dalang knelt directly in the hall, wailing and pleading: "Lu Changshi, you must make the decision for the people! I have worked hard to raise my daughter, and I don't ask her to be rich and powerful in the future to repay me and her. Grandma, I just hope that I can grow old with a daughter by my side, but I didn’t expect that after getting sick, she became ungrateful and refused to acknowledge me! She refused to go back no matter how hard I tried to persuade her! I went to her place to have a good relationship with her. I told her separately and persuaded her to come back. Unexpectedly, when I went to the house, I was stopped by the guards and refused to let me in! Such disobedience and unfilial piety is unacceptable! I would rather take this white-eyed wolf to court than this. The daughter of Xiao is forcing us to die! She wants to live or die, and we can't control her!"
Gao Yun also frowned when he heard this. Lu Kaiyan glanced at Kudi Dalang and saw that what he said was serious. He said in a deep voice: "Since you have brought her to court, in a fight between father and daughter, you didn't even He refused to let her collect the body?"
Some people originally said that Kudi was not the daughter of Dalang Kudi, not to mention that Dalang Kudi couldn't recognize Kudi at first. Then he changed his attitude and became a fatherly face, begging Kudi to go home. Now she directly
He was convicted by Xue Shao, but now Kudi Dalang is hard-hearted and refuses to take care of the funeral arrangements for the Kudi family... He was thinking carefully, and for some reason he suddenly remembered that before leaving home this morning, Liniang told him that she was pregnant.
Well, if he was also a father, would he do such weird and abnormal behavior?
From this point of view, it is really suspicious! There were more and more people watching the excitement outside, and the voices of discussion became louder and louder. At this time, a policeman came in from the outside and said: "For the record, General Xue invites the chief to come over tonight."
