Mu Qing replied: "My mother has already reached bliss."
Qin Youran said: "Get lost."
Mu Qing got out.
The next day, Ye Zelin arrived at the inn with Hua Fushu, Sanqiao and 100,000 official silver. At this time, Yu Xuanji and others were also preparing to go to the ferry.
When he saw Hua Fushu, Yu Xuanji greeted him with concern. Hua Fushu replied that it was okay, and he felt relieved.
Afraid that Hua Fushu would be tired, Yu Xuanji specifically asked Hua Fushu to rest for two-quarters of an hour. Hua Fushu couldn't resist Yu Xuanji, so he rested for two-quarters of an hour.
Ye Zelin and Yu Xuanji discussed the matter of 100,000 official silver. Yu Xuanji meant that the water conservancy project in Xiangxi County was urgent, and passing through Zishui Ferry, the magistrate of Xiangxi County could come and collect 100,000 official silver. Ye Zelin felt that Yu Xuanji's idea was very good, so he wanted to send a message to the Xiangxi County Magistrate on behalf of Yu Xuanji. Unexpectedly, Yu Xuanji had already sent a message to the Xiangxi County Magistrate.
Two-quarters of an hour later, we set off as promised and went to the government-built and open dock. Everyone and everything got on the big ship.
One day later, the ship changed course to the Zishui River, and another day later, it arrived at the Zishui Pier.
The magistrate of Xiangxi County had been waiting here the day before. When he knew that Yu Xuanji had arrived, he went to check the amount of official silver and take away the official silver after seeing the person.
Hua Fushu mentioned to Ye Zelin that she wanted him to accompany her to Lanling. Ye Zelin hesitated for a moment and declined her on the grounds of official inconvenience.
Hua Fushu knew that he had a job, but she was still a little disappointed when she heard that he refused.
Ye Zelin said warmly: "Fu Shu, when I have some free time, how about I accompany you to Lanling?"
Hearing Ye Zelin's words, Hua Fushu immediately turned from disappointment to happiness.
In Beijing, June is coming to an end and July is approaching.
On this day, after the court meeting, Ye Shiheng, who was wearing purple official uniform, had just left the palace gate when a man walked up to him, chatted with him for a few words, and then invited him to have a drink at Ruifeng Tower, one of the famous buildings in Tokyo.
Ye Shiheng had only had tea with this gentleman twice, and he was invited there. He usually only met each other when he went to court, so he was not acquainted with him. He also thought that Mrs. Ouyang was still waiting for him to go back for dinner, so he politely refused. Yes, he also said that he would invite him to tea when he was free.
This gentleman was politely rejected by Ye Shiheng. He was not happy, but he had no choice but to put on his court clothes and take the car back home.
The servant who drove Ye Shiheng came over with the carriage. He had listened twice to the conversation between Ye Shiheng and his colleagues, and said: "General, there is a lot of tea at Du Shangshu's house. He invites you, why don't you go."
Ye Shiheng said: "Dashun, how did you know that there is a lot of tea in Du Shangshu's house?"
The servant Dashun replied: "One time Mr. Shangsheng invited you to have tea, and Du Shangshu was also there. You said this when I was driving back to my house."
Ye Shiheng got in the car and patted Dashun on the shoulder. He said, "Shunzi, socializing and drinking are important, but they are also divided into relatives and friends. Your general and I only have casual acquaintances with Du Shangshu. I am a general, and I am on official duty." There are many, so it’s okay not to go." He entered the carriage and sat down.
As soon as Dashun got on the car and sat at the front of the car, he heard Ye Shiheng in the car say, "Shunzi, the eldest lady said that today the kitchen will make the crystal shrimp dumplings that I like to eat, so go back home quickly."
Dashun chuckled and drove back to the General's Mansion.
After returning to the General's Mansion, Ye Shiheng went to Rongliyuan, took off his court clothes, changed into a black silk shirt, and went to the dining hall.
Mrs. Ouyang was wearing a snow-green dress and was sitting on the painted round stool in the dining room. She had not eaten yet and was waiting for someone to come back.
Seeing Ye Shiheng come in, the maids who served him saluted Ye Shiheng. Ye Shiheng didn't even look at it and sat directly on the round stool next to Mrs. Ouyang.
Mrs. Ouyang picked up her chopsticks, put a crystal shrimp dumpling on Ye Shiheng's plate, "The filling of the dumpling is the live shrimp that was delivered to the kitchen this morning. It's fresh. It's not long since it was taken out of the pot and it's still hot. Try it."
Ye Shiheng picked up the crystal shrimp dumplings on the plate. They were crystal clear and the shrimp filling was visible. They tasted delicious when eaten.
Mrs. Ouyang brought all the crystal shrimp dumplings to Ye Shiheng, "The kitchen makes more dumplings, you can eat as much as you like. I also asked Mrs. Yuan, who is in charge of the kitchen, to send two plates to my husband. You and my husband both like crystals." Shrimp dumplings.”
Ye Shiheng's eyebrows were slightly lowered, "If the old man knew that you ordered it to be delivered, he would definitely not eat it."
Mrs. Ouyang said: "The old man knows how to eat."
Ye Shiheng said: "Why." He knew how much the old man disliked Mrs. Ouyang.
Mrs. Ouyang smiled and said: "It's Ruhua's intention, not mine. I just asked someone to inform Mrs. Yuan."
Ye Shiheng nodded.
Mrs. Ouyang served herself a bowl of fish fillet porridge, took a few mouthfuls, and then said, "You went to court today a little later than usual. Is there anything urgent going on in court?"
"It's not an important matter." Ye Shiheng paused and then changed his words, "It's still an important matter."
Mrs. Ouyang's heart tightened, "Is there another war in the Western Region?"
Ye Shiheng saw Mrs. Ouyang's worries and said: "No, King Shu gave your Majesty a note, saying that he had been relegated to the outside world for more than ten years and regretted it. Now he was in pain and begged to return to the capital to take care of himself. Your Majesty put this matter before On the table, some courtiers felt that Prince Shu had been punished for long enough and could be allowed to return to the capital to live in his old age. Some courtiers, especially those who disliked Prince Shu, held objections. I don’t want Prince Shu either. We all know who he is when he comes back."
Mrs. Ouyang said: "No, the Wu family suffered a lot from him back then. The eldest daughter of the Wu family was forced to commit suicide. Mr. Wu hit a pillar and died. The eldest wife of the Wu family lost her husband and daughter. She also died of illness not long after. There is only the second girl left, and now the second girl Wu is in charge of the Xianhua Guild Hall and lives in the capital. It is better that Prince Shu does not come back to harm the talents."
Ye Shiheng said: "Most of the courtiers felt that Prince Shu had been punished for a long time, and since he was the late emperor's brother, he could return to the capital, so Your Majesty allowed Prince Shu to return to the capital."
Mrs. Ouyang looked at him with a sad face and said, "Then what are you worried about?"
Ye Shiheng asked Mrs. Ouyang: "Isn't it that my wife has forgotten how Prince Shu left Beijing?"
Mrs. Ouyang reacted and understood why Ye Shiheng was worried.
At that time, Hua Mingqian, who had just become the censor, met the second girl of the Wu family who had no way to complain. He took pity on the second girl Wu and took her to see the late emperor and sue Prince Shu. The late emperor was extremely angry and wanted to kill her. Prince Shu was demoted to a commoner and sent to the southwest. At that time, Prince Shu's mother's family was powerful. She appealed to the courtiers for mercy. The late emperor changed Prince Shu's status to a county prince and confiscated all of Prince Shu's family property. Part of it was compensated to the Wu family and part of it was donated to the Wu family. The rest of the poor people filled the national treasury.
In fact, this result was not satisfactory. Hua Mingqian was young and vigorous, hated evil as much as hatred, and was not afraid of power. He took the second girl Wu to seek an audience with the late emperor again.
The late emperor summoned Hua Mingqian and Miss Wu and talked to them for a few words. Finally, Miss Wu voluntarily gave up investigating Prince Shu's guilt. Within two years, Hua Mingqian returned to Su Nian.
