Cheng Ping's legacy

Chapter 17: Plum Rain

Qin Pei, who is getting old many, many years later, often thinks that if his fate had been set at the ferry where the grass grows in late spring, other people would seem to have gone further and further away since the spring of Deze in 19th. The beautiful flowers, the full moon, and the colorful flowers also fell apart with the truth of the gray defeat.

The servants of the Qin family only felt that the lord seemed to be much more relaxed today, he seemed to have lost the harshness and perverseness of the criminal officer, and became as gentle and moist as jade. Merry No. [-] Lang.Although in their eyes, the number one scholar is still more than dull, not unrestrained, and even a little more foolish than before, as if he suddenly became passionate, and he knows everything about flowers, plants, forests, clouds, rain, wind and moon Endless affection.

For example, when his colleagues were still struggling to investigate the case and buried their heads in Yizhuang, he walked all over the small courtyard and chanted to a half-dead crabapple with wistful eyes: "He Cai is desolate, a When the sun disappears, it’s like three autumns.”

Another example, a big event happened in the palace - King Yong pleaded for his mother, he knelt outside the Chongwen Hall for an hour in the torrential, and later a confidante who was pregnant with Liujia held an umbrella in the rain, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince loved his younger brother , I can't bear to be harshly summoned.When the streets and alleys are talking about the emperor's family affairs, Qin Pei only concentrates on making his eaves bells, and he doesn't know where the head of the Ministry of Punishment learned his craft. The voice of Zheng Yu plays a song of Shangxie.

A servant woman once whispered that a scholar is still a scholar even if he is crazy, and he will not forget poetry for three hundred miles even if he is crazy.Even if Qin Pei heard it by chance, he would only secretly sigh that my heart is sad, I don’t know what I am sad, and I still ignore his business and vassalize his elegance...

He asked for leave for ten days, until Liu Zenbo couldn't stand it anymore, and personally went to the mansion to arrest him after he was released from the Yamen.When the spring was raining, I saw a row of eaves bells hanging on the porch, and Qin Pei stood there, holding chopsticks in his right hand and beating with the sound of rain, and the glass in his left hand seemed to be old wine, and he was still singing short songs. Singing slightly, the tune is out of tune: "My aunt drinks and drinks the other, but it won't hurt you forever..."

"Qin Yihuan!" Liu Zenbo burst out with blue veins on his head, wishing he could punch him twice to relieve his anger.

Qin Pei looked back, his light-colored eyes were full of astonishment: "Master Minister."

"Such a big event happened in the palace. Seeing that the case of Cai Nv is about to be settled, and everyone in the criminal department is so busy, you still have time to get drunk and show off your elegance?"

Feeling ashamed, Qin Pei put down the cup and chopsticks in his hand, saluted and said, "I'm sorry, my lord, but my mentor has ordered me to go back to my residence to reflect on my mistakes, and not to intervene in this case again."

Liu Zenbo frowned: "Although Zhao Xiangquan is devoted to the government and the public, it is human nature to think about the students, but his old man's hands are stretched too far, isn't it? Do you still have a Shangguan in the Ministry of Punishment in your eyes? Do you still have your job? "

"Pei is guilty!" Qin Pei had no choice but to plead guilty again, his eyes fixed on his sandals.

Liu Zenbo probably lost his anger, and seeing his dejected appearance again, he hated him and said, "Look at your virtue, is it because you are trapped by love?"

Qin Pei opened his mouth to refute, but then remembered the bad debt between himself and Xuanyuan Mian, and he didn't know how to answer the question embarrassingly.

Liu Zenbo rolled her eyes: "Look at your potential! If you like it, you can go directly to the door to propose marriage. At worst, you will be beaten out by her parents. What's the problem?"

Qin Pei thought to himself, if he really went to Xuanyuan Mian's mansion to propose marriage, he might not be beaten out by a random stick, but beheaded by his parents directly?

"Your Excellency, I'm joking, I..." Seeing Liu Zenbo sitting down by the porch familiarly, Qin Pei could only smile wryly and order his servants to prepare dinner. It seemed that he would have to go to the ministry tomorrow to order something.

Liu Zenbo was born in a poor family, and he did not have the pretentious manners of a nobleman in his actions, so he picked up the wine glass and sipped his brows, frowning, "Speak."

Qin Pei was moved when a servant came to the mansion of his subordinates, and he was so ardently caring. Then he thought that the onlookers would know that maybe Liu Zenbo could see more clearly than the disturbed himself, and he might not be able to solve the current impasse. : "I have a friend..."

"What kind of friend are you talking about..." Liu Zenbo interrupted angrily.

Qin Pei choked, and changed his words out of his duty as a subordinate: "I was lonely since I was a child, and I was studying abroad. I have been alone all the time. Until one day, by chance, I met a...a lady from a famous family. We have gone through adventures together, and suffered a lot. After a catastrophe, I gradually got to know each other, and often went outing together. Even though he was never my confidant, nor was I his child, but I treated each other sincerely, and regarded him as my only friend, thinking that I could Meet for a lifetime."

Liu Zenbo looked at him playfully: "Later?"

"Then he didn't know when he had other thoughts about me. My lord knows that I am the head of the criminal department after all, and I always like to think clearly when I encounter problems, so I pretended not to know and stood still. Gradually, I also saw There were some truths that he didn’t even know about. He was only close to me, trusted me, or thought that I was different from the people he had seen, which was very interesting, but it was not the love between a man and a woman. He was young I'm not too young, and when it's time to discuss marriage, I didn't want to miss him, so I made it clear to him."

Qin Pei smiled wryly and spread his hands: "So, even friends can't be friends now."

Liu Zenbo drank in silence, and finally said: "Idiot."

Qin Pei continued to laugh, until his face was a little stiff: "If the servant is in my position, I'm afraid he will do the same? He was obsessed for a while and misunderstood his own thoughts. If I took advantage of others, then Talking about what a gentleman is, it is empty of the teachings of the saints for more than ten years."

Liu Zenbo frowned and sighed: "The word love hurts people the most. Before a girl has said anything, you poke her heart out. It doesn't count if her heart is exposed, but you point it out in a daze." If you don't really admire her, if I were that girl's father and brother, I would definitely be with you forever."

Qin Pei smiled wryly: "I was also in a hurry for a while, and I always felt that the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. I have neither family background nor talent, and there is always a better match than me. I used to think that being a good official with diligence, Being a good person in peace and contentment will be enough in this life, but now it seems that if you can do some insignificant things for the Tianqi Dynasty, you will be more worthy of his kindness."

Her father was buried with her in the Ming Mausoleum, and she herself was born as the No.Liu Zenbo arranged several princesses from the Holy Majesty, and even the princesses and county lords of the clan, but couldn't get a clue, so he simply gave up, and said softly: "You have a very good idea. The husband should first start a family and then start a business. Your Fate and cause and effect will always come.”

Qin Pei smiled gratefully, and heard Liu Zenbo say: "By the way, I came to look for you today, and I have something important to do. The case of picking up women has come to light, and the imperial edict has been issued, ordering Concubine Lin Gui to return Fengyin's palace affairs. Order him to go to the Dabaoen Temple to practice self-examination. The teacher personally returned from Zhongnan to announce the decree. Before I handed over the post to see him, the teacher sent someone to send a message. He heard that you are my subordinate. He happens to be free tomorrow and wants to see us."
