fierce eunuch

After seeing off Cao Jingkun, the Shi family was looking forward to good news from Cao Jingkun in the next few days.But there was no movement for several days, and Shi Shangshu also felt that this time seemed to be different from the past, and it could not be solved easily.It's just that Prefect Lu is really stubborn, so why don't he have to come to the door to apologize in person?

It's not that Shi Jia is unwilling to let go of this old face for his son, but that everyone in Beijing is looking at him, and he can't help himself.

"Old man, how many days has it been? Is there any news from Mr. Cao?" Mrs. Shi couldn't help asking. In the past, it was enough to clear it up, but this time there was no movement at all.

"Hey, wait a little longer. It may be that the virtuous younger brother couldn't get away and didn't take care of it." Shi Jiati found a reason for Cao Jingkun. I don't even give him face.It's not good for prefect Lu to have a stalemate with the two senior officials like this.

"Grandpa, why don't you mention it to Mr. Cao again. It's going to snow, and it's so cold, it's hard for An'er to be in prison." Mrs. Shi was worried about her eldest son, and she seemed very anxious, completely It's not like the previous indifferent look.

"Alright, I'll go to court tomorrow, and I'll talk to my younger brother." Shi Jia nodded.

Shi Ning was listening to his parents' conversation, feeling sad, then Cao Jingkun might have already planned to frame him, what should he do?

"Daddy, my son has something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Shi Jia was worried about the matter of the elder son, so he had neglected the younger son these few days, thinking that the younger son had something to say.

"Father, it's too unsafe for you to place all your chips on Uncle Cao when the eldest brother goes to jail this time." Shi Ning said in a low and slow voice, "Think about it, our family and the prefect Lu have never had any enmity or enmity. Why does the magistrate insist on fighting against our family? What good does it do him? If he just thinks that his son was beaten by his elder brother, he won’t be so tough. And we don’t know what the reason is, my son thinks it’s very embarrassing It's important. And it's not a trivial matter, Dad, please consider it carefully."

"You..." Shi Jia stared blankly at the youngest son, couldn't help being surprised, is this the youngest son of his family like that girl?He was surprised: "Who told you this?"

Shi Ning shook his head and said: "No one told the son, it was the son who thought about it." He looked straight at Shi Jia with a pair of clear and innocent eyes: "Daddy, please consider carefully."

"This..." Shi Jia clenched his fists and sighed, "You're right. In fact, Daddy is also thinking about it. It's just that you, Uncle Cao."

"Since Cao Shishu is Daddy's friend, he won't care if you follow up. After all, this matter is related to my elder brother's life. If he really cares, he won't be able to be called Daddy's friend." Shi Ning said.

This once again surprised Shi Jia. It seemed that his child had indeed grown up, with clear thinking and clear speech. He was worthy of Shi Jia's son.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Shi Jia has always had a vigorous temperament, and immediately said: "Daddy will go now, you guys wait at home, don't worry."

"Old man, what are you going to do?" Mrs. Shi listened to her and raised her heart. If it was true as her youngest son said, she should be more careful about this matter.

"Don't worry, you can find your own way as a husband." Shi Jia didn't say much, after comforting his wife and children, he drove away from the house.

After he left, he didn't return until late at night.

Both Mrs. Shi and Shi Ning didn't rest, they just waited for him to come back.How could they sleep peacefully if they didn't see Shi Jia coming back.

"Old man." Seeing that her husband had finally returned safely, Mrs. Shi breathed a sigh of relief.She went up to meet him and asked, "How is it? Is it okay?"

Shi Jia sat down, took a sip of tea, and then said cheerfully: "Not bad, Mrs. Wu promised to come forward, and this matter is definitely not far off."

When Mrs. Shi heard it, she immediately said happily: "That's good, that's good, it's just old man, when did you have friendship with Mr. Wu?" Mrs. Wu is a well-known figure in Beijing. Although he was born as a eunuch, But all civil and military officials admire him when they talk about him.

Over the years, Mrs. Wu has withdrawn from the court for a long time.But still no one dared to neglect him, even the emperor would listen to what he said.If Shi An's matter really involved him, he really wouldn't have to worry about it.

"Hey, where is my friendship? This time it is thanks to Ning'er's blessing." Shi Jia said with a smile: "Madam, maybe you forgot that when Ning'er was five years old, he got a bunch of old master Wu in Hongye Temple." The rewarded prayer beads?"

Hearing what her husband said, Mrs. Shi remembered: "Oh, I remembered, it was the one who rewarded me, I remembered. It's just..." She wondered: "What's the matter, what does it matter? ?”

Shi Jia smiled and said: "It has a lot to do with it. The old master Wu said something back then, he said that Ning'er was like him five points, and he was the only one in the world. He liked it very much, and at the beginning he wanted to take Ning'er as a godson, yes You say that you can't make it through your seniority, that's all."

Mrs. Shi felt ashamed when she recalled the past, how did she know that it was Mrs. Wu, she just thought it was an old urchin from some family, why would she still recognize someone's five-year-old as a godson at such an age.

"By the way, these are Ning'er's prayer beads, so please keep them and return them to him. They were given to him by Mrs. Wu, so he must keep them close to him." Shi Jia warned, if the youngest son hadn't been with him today After mentioning it in front of him, he still can't remember this relationship. Fortunately, Mrs. Wu has a good memory. Nine years have passed, and he still remembers Shi Ning.

"When did you get Ning'er's Buddhist beads, why don't I know?" Mrs. Shi asked strangely, isn't the beads on the youngest son's wrist?

"Hey, what did Madam say, didn't Ning'er give it to me?" Shi Jia said honestly, she didn't take the credit for it, it was Shi Ning's idea.

"Okay, you said you have your own way, I thought you have some great power, it's your son's credit." Mrs. Shi said with a smile, carefully put away the prayer beads, and will return them to Ning'er later.

"Hahaha, I don't dare to take the credit, it's all due to Ning'er, is it done now?" Shi Jia said happily.

"Hmph, it's not too bad." Mrs. Shi said again: "Old man, we have been favored by Mrs. Wu, shouldn't we let Ning'er show up and thank him well?" Since Mrs. Wu likes his youngest son so much, It should be a pleasure to see.Anyway, their family didn't know how to thank them, so they asked Shi Ning to wait on him for a few days to make the old man happy.

"Yeah, let's Ning'er take care of it for a few days. When you are old, don't you just like to see juniors playing around on your knees? Then Mrs. Wu looks energetic, so it's okay." Shi Jia thought about it, and also I think it should be so.

"It's good, it's good, but I don't know if Ning'er is willing or not." Mrs. Shi was worried. Her youngest son has been spoiled and raised for more than ten years. He has always been served by others.

"Hey, what's the matter? It's said to be a waiter. Does he really have to do it himself? Even if Ning'er is willing, the people around Mr. Wu dare not entrust it to him." Shi Jia said.

"Well, that's the decision. I'll go and talk to Ning'er." Mrs. Shi said.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow. It's so late, Ning'er may have already rested." Shi Jia said.

As soon as the words were finished, the little servant in Shi Ning's courtyard came over and asked the servant at the door if the master had returned.

Mrs. Shi and Shi Jia heard it, and they looked at each other with smiles on their faces, "Look, your son is worried about you, how can he sleep?"

"Alright, tell him to go and let him sleep peacefully." Shi Jiayi smiled.

Mrs. Shi went with the servants in Shi Ning's courtyard. At this time, Shi Ning really didn't sleep, and was still reading at the desk.Seeing this, Mrs. Shi joked: "Your father still thinks you are worried about him, don't you think you still have the mind to read?"

Shi Ning raised his head and smiled: "Mother has been wronged, I am not reading, I can't find anything in my mind, and I can't sleep."

Mrs. Shi also felt sorry for him when she heard the words, she walked over and patted his head and said: "Don't worry, your father has just returned. He said it was all up to your idea, your elder brother's affairs are settled. You are really an idea Da, it's a bit too courageous to ask your father to go to Mrs. Wu without saying a word, huh?"

"Mother, I'm not so brave. I'm not worried about big brother." Shi Ning said, if he had no other way out, who would go to find an old man whom he met nine years ago for help.

"Okay, mother won't say anything wrong with you." Mrs. Shi continued, "It's over, but our family also owes Mrs. Wu a favor. We must thank him."

Shi Ning nodded and said, "It should be."

"So mother and your father have discussed that you will go to Mrs. Wu's mansion in a few days and make the old man happy, you know?" Mrs. Shi said, nodding Shi Ning's forehead.

"Ah?" Shi Ning was dumbfounded for a moment, what is this?

"Ah what, you came up with the idea, don't you want to go?" Mrs. Shi stared.

"No, no, it's not that I don't want to go, it's just... are you sure I can make it?" Shi Ning was quite worried, he had never been able to make the elderly happy, because he had never had contact with the elderly.The grandparents at home passed away early, and he followed Jiu Qiansui later, and he never made anyone happy.

"If you have a heart, you can do it. The old man has lived for decades. He can tell at a glance whether you have a heart. Let's go here not for anything, but to show our heart and thank you! Do you understand? Understood?" Mrs. Shi instructed.

"Okay, I got it, mother." Shi Ning quickly agreed, he didn't want to be taught by his mother like his elder brother.

"Just know it, go there then, and behave well to me. If something goes wrong with you, see if your father will not spank you." Mrs. Shi threatened, and her son suddenly got big ideas, and he is not as easy to fool as he was when he was a child , She suddenly felt lonely and empty.

"Mother, don't worry, I will try my best to make Mrs. Wu happy." Shi Ning reluctantly agreed.
