Magistrate Su's eyebrows are straight, his face is peaceful, and he is elegant but not weak. At a glance, you can tell that he is an extremely gentle person.
In "Green Plum Song", Su Tanhua's beautiful posture is truly worthy of her reputation.
Gu Yu had a good impression of the aloof and aloof Magistrate Su, so he returned the salute seriously: "I have met Magistrate Su."
Hearing King Xiaoyao sneer beside him, Gu Yu gritted his teeth again.
Tolerate.
The eldest princess smiled and said: "Magistrate Su, this Prince Gu is the one who proposed the symposium in front of the imperial brother. If it weren't for her, those students' journey to Beijing would not have been so smooth."
Su Zhongfu handed over to Gu Yu again: "On behalf of those students, I would like to thank Prince Gu for his generous help."
Gu Yu said: "I don't dare to take it seriously."
The eldest princess said: "If Prince Gu has nothing important to do, why don't we come in and have a chat."
Gu Yu hesitated for a moment. She had never had much contact with the eldest princess. Why did she invite her in now?
Before she could politely refuse, King Xiaoyao from behind suddenly pushed her and swooped down to let her step into the door with one foot.
I definitely dug your ancestral graves in my previous life, and God sent me to atone for my sins in this life.
Gu Yu gritted his teeth and walked in anyway.
After sitting down, the eldest princess said: "Magistrate Su came here to ask for an audience with me about Zhu Jianchun. Prince Gu is a great talent, so you might as well tell me what you think of Zhu Jianchun."
Gu Yu frowned and said, "You should not be praised by the princess. Zhu Jianchun cheated in the imperial examination and was the source of the student riots in Jiangnan. According to the law, even if he does not die, he will not escape prison."
Hearing this, Su Zhongfu couldn't hide his disappointment and said:
"In Tongning County, Zhu Xiucai enlightened many descendants of poor families and educated the people. He was highly respected. It was not that he had no talent as a Jinshi, but he once broke a leg and became lame.
The laws of the Yu Dynasty stipulate that you are not allowed to be an official, and you can only hold the status of a scholar. Besides...he went to catch a sword to treat his mother's illness, who would have expected..."
"Who would have expected that what I encountered was an inhumane thing and actually killed my mother." Gu Yu continued after his words.
"Magistrate Su has been in the officialdom for a long time and should know that the law cannot be violated. If the matter is so big, the Ministry of Punishment will not let him go just because he is trapped in a cocoon."
"Magistrate Su should also know that the Yu Dynasty had strict criminal laws, so even the eldest princess would not be able to interfere in this matter."
"The eldest princess should know that it is not easy for a humble person to interfere in this matter even if he has not yet entered the court.
Gu Yu's words were a bit cold.
In her opinion, one must abide by the rules wherever they are. This is a belief she learned in an orphanage in her previous life.
Disobedience, disobedience, and disobedience will be punished. Since time travel, she has seen too many huge differences from her previous living environment, but she has worked hard to adapt to it based on this belief.
Those who follow the trend win, and those who go against the trend perish.
Is Zhu Jianchun really desperate?
not necessarily.
As Magistrate Su said, he is highly respected in Tongning County. If he is really troubled by money, he can actually find many ways to make money by relying on his reputation.
Helping the county government to revise books, run lecture halls, erect monuments and write biographies for people, etc.
Even if you have the audacity to go door-to-door and ask for it from the squire, it's not impossible.
Although scholars, farmers, merchants, and scholars did not have official status, they were still very noble in the eyes of ordinary people.
But he had to wait until his mother was terminally ill, then he was anxious to have some relief and chose the stupidest way.
Now the magistrate of Su County, the Holy Father, has a heart attack and wants to ask the eldest princess to help. However, the eldest princess finds it difficult and wants to recruit her to join the gang.
She really didn't know that she, a child of a down-and-out family, even though she had first shown her talent in the symposium, was still far different from the real royal family like them, and she didn't look like someone who could accomplish such a thing.
Besides, it doesn't matter if she is cold-blooded. She sympathizes with Zhu Jianchun's plight, but if she is asked to help Zhu Jianchun, she will not do it if there is no benefit.
The eldest princess didn't seem to expect that she would suddenly speak so rudely, and she didn't know what to say.
Su Zhongfu looked ashamed and said, "It's because I didn't think well that I made things difficult for the eldest princess."
He smiled bitterly in his heart. Back then in Kyoto, he had just won the top prize in the top tier, and because he won the attention of the eldest princess at the Luming Banquet, he was inevitably very proud of himself.
As a result, many children from aristocratic families came to ridicule him, and his words as cold as swords pierced his complacency, letting him know the huge gap between aristocratic families and poor families.
More than twenty years later, when he set foot in Kyoto again, he had a rather paranoid view, believing that as the eldest princess was a member of the royal family, it would be easy for her to save Zhu Jianchun.
Now that Gu Yu had spoken out, I realized that the current eldest princess was different from the one she held in the palm of the hand more than twenty years ago when the late emperor was here.
Even if the eldest princess has the ability to follow the dragon, she will not be able to survive the king's cold heart.
It's him who shouldn't.
Junze glanced at Gu Yu playfully. Don't tell me, the way this little fox spoke coldly...
It's quite pretty.
"Is Prince Gu not willing to help?" Junze put Duanfang on the table and asked.
Gu Yu noticed the knife and realized that it was King Xiaoyao's pressure on him.
But why?
Zhu Jianchun's case is about fighting against the criminal law. If not, they will end up smelling fishy. They can go out into troubled waters if they want, so why should they be dragged into it?
Just because they have royal blood and noble status, do you think everyone should obey them?
Gu Yu pursed her lips: "It's not that I'm unwilling, but that I'm humble and helpless."
"Since it is not unwilling, then I will give Gu Shizi a clear path. Gu Shizi is a good manipulator of people's hearts. Why not write another playbook to praise Zhu Xiucai's filial piety." Jun Ze said.
He really knew that "Mandarin Duck's Dream" was written by her. If he knew more deeply, the troupes she secretly raised might not be able to escape his eyes.
Gu Yu suppressed the displeasure in his heart and said with a smile: "If you talk about manipulating people's hearts, I can't be as humble as the prince."
"I am a rough man, but I am not as talented as Prince Gu." Junze played with the Duan Fang in his hand and narrowed his peach blossom eyes.
The eldest princess didn't know what riddle the two of them were playing, but after hearing this, it seemed that Gu Yu had a solution, so she said:
"If Prince Gu has any ideas, you might as well tell him. After all, Zhu Xiucai is a very good person, and it is really sad that he has fallen to this point.
Oh, by the way, I heard that Gu Shizi’s sister will get married next year, and on the day of the wedding, I want to go there in person to help Miss Gu."
Even though the eldest princess spoke softly, Gu Yu still felt cold in her heart.
Listen, this is the arrogance of those in power, who think that as long as they give a little charity at will, people will burst into tears.
Her every move was clearly seen by King Xiaoyao. If she refused, it would be too embarrassing for the eldest princess.
Going with the flow, she recited these four words in her heart.
Since you are unable to resist, you must strive for the best interests for yourself.
Gu Yu clenched her hands hidden in her sleeves into fists, exhaled deeply, and said: "Thank you for your concern, princess. My family plans to cancel my sister's engagement. If possible, I would like to have the audacity to ask for an invitation to the Peony Banquet for my sister."
