great mandate

Chapter 140 Winter Solstice Part 2

Luo Jinyu said awkwardly: "I don't have any...just, all of a sudden..."

"Where is it suddenly? It's just a coincidence." Master Zhang straightened his back and spoke plausibly, "Lord Luo, if you don't believe me, go to the Ministry of Officials and the other departments to ask if you will have to pay stipends in the near future. Nearer, in our Ministry of Rituals, you are on good terms with Mr. Ding, you can ask him if he just paid him the allowance for his trip to the south of the Yangtze River last year? It is not as much as yours, but there is no other reason, It's because the south of the Yangtze River is rich and comfortable, and it's naturally not as poor and hard as Mobei, and the allowances are generous. Besides, as soon as the news got out, many people changed their temper and came to me secretly, wanting to go to Mobei This is Bei's job. Hey, this is really a good thing, and the official's move is really good."

Hearing what Mr. Zhang said was impeccable, Luo Jinyu was inconvenient to question that, so he could only say: "Doing things for an official, how can you do this for money."

"Being an official is also to support the family, and the official is not a god, let the whole family drink the northwest wind?" Mr. Zhang rolled his eyes and said, "Speaking of which, Mr. Luo also hired Mr. Ding to help Mr. Ding. It’s a hard job that no one wants to do, but I heard that after the 30 taels of allowance, many people sincerely want this sweet pastry, Lord Luo doesn’t have to monopolize it, it’s better..."

"I have already received the allowance." Luo Jinyu said hastily.

"Just return it." Mr. Zhang thoughtfully said.

Luo Jinyu: "..."

Seeing his embarrassed expression, Mr. Zhang asked, "What?"

"I'm also short of money." Luo Jinyu said awkwardly.

"Master Luo was joking..."

"I'm not kidding, I don't like joking." Luo Jinyu said uncomfortably, "I also need some money recently."

Seeing this, Mr. Zhang didn't insist, and said: "That's fine. It's been half a month since Mr. Luo took over the job. During this time, you have done everything by yourself. It's not appropriate to change people when you are about to leave."

This matter is settled like this.

Luo Jinyu had 53 taels of silver in his pocket, and after paying the price, he immediately went to Jinghong Pavilion and bought the gold bracelet.

"Fortunately, no one bought it." Luo Jinyu smiled slightly while holding the brocade box.

The shopkeeper laughed along with him, and thought to himself: That's how I dare to sell it.Eunuch Shen said, if you don’t buy this bracelet, no one will buy it.I really don't understand the period before and after, alas, could it be that I am getting old?

Luo Jinyu happily bought the bracelet, took it back home, went to the study, stood in front of the window, and said to Shen Wuji who was sitting in the room reading a book dignifiedly: "Wuji, if you are reading, I will come back later."

"After reading for a long time, I have to rest for a while." Shen Wuji hurriedly put down the book, pretended to pick up the teacup, and asked reservedly, "Why, why are you looking for our house?"

"I want to give you a gift." Luo Jinyu said.

"Hey, the sun is coming out from the west." Shen Wuji sneered, "Our family thought that Mr. Luo would only give Mr. Ding his own calligraphy."

"You're so yin and yang." Luo Jinyu sighed, "If you tell you to change this bad habit, you can change it for at least one day."

"Hmph, our family—" Shen Wuji was about to make a high profile with him, when Lai Fu, who was serving beside him, kicked his chair without changing his expression, and coughed heavily.

Shen Wuji: "..."

Oppose him!

Cook this guy later!

Shen Wuji calmed down, swallowed the provocative words, and only stared at Luo Jinyu with a pair of phoenix eyes.

Luo Jinyu has a better temperament than him, and she tried every means to reconcile with him. Seeing that he stopped talking, she naturally wouldn't chase him, and continued to talk about herself: "I don't know if you like it or not. If you don't like it, you can That's all."

As she said that, Luo Jinyu took out a brocade box from her bosom and put it on the window sill, looking at Shen Wuji's expression and movements shyly, expectantly, and anxiously, she said in a low voice: "I think this is very beautiful, and you like it?" These."

Shen Wuji almost couldn't wait to "snatch" the brocade box—although no one snatched it from him—and felt that he was too revealing, so he coughed pretendingly, opened the box slowly, saw the gold bracelet inside, and the corner of his mouth immediately wanted to Bend to the corner of the eye - no, you can't show such joy!

Shen Wuji hastily suppressed his smile and complacency, and said coldly, "This is really the plainest bracelet our family has ever seen."

Laifu sighed secretly at the side, and said in his heart: Master, master, if you look at the door of your wife's room and sigh and worry tonight, you will really suffer it yourself, but don't trouble us.

Seeing what he said, Luo Jinyu said kindly: "I was also worried that you wouldn't like such a plain one, but I like it when I look at it. I don't like other fancy styles, and I can't see the good or bad. So, you Give this back to me—”

As Luo Jinyu said, he stretched out his hand over the window sill to get the bracelet, but Shen Wuji hugged the bracelet in his arms suddenly, staring and said: "The things in Jinghong Pavilion will not be returned when they leave the door! They can't be returned!"

"I've already bought it, and it's not because the bracelet itself is defective, how can I have the nerve to return it." Luo Jinyu said.

With a "hiss", Shen Wuji stood up abruptly, slapped the table, and said, "Then who else do you want to give it to? You don't wear it yourself, 50 taels of silver, so you won't be wasted!"

"How do you know 50 taels of silver?" Luo Jinyu asked with a frown.

Shen Wuji: "..."

Luo Jinyu sighed suddenly, shook her head and said, "You're asking someone to follow—"

"Who asked someone to follow you? Our family went to Jinghong Pavilion earlier and saw this bracelet?" Shen Wuji said with his neck stuck.

Luo Jinyu became more and more annoyed: "You are lying again. Since you think this bracelet is plain now, you went to Jinghong Pavilion to see it, how could you ask the price? What's more, with your identity, if you go to Jinghong Pavilion, the shopkeeper How could I show you this bracelet? Why do you always think I'm a three-year-old child so easy to deceive?"

Shen Wuji was very guilty, and forced himself to say: "Our family wanted to buy it as a gift for you, and we happened to have a heart-to-heart with you, so I knew you loved this plain bracelet, so I happened to see it. Can't you?"

"I don't wear a bracelet at all." Luo Jinyu said coldly, "Are you going to continue to argue?"

Shen Wuji's eyes flickered, and he said resentfully: "You don't wear it, so our family didn't buy it in the end. If you wear it, is there any reason for our family not to buy it?"

"Shen Wuji."

Shen Wuji: "..."

He couldn't bear it any longer, seeing Luo Jinyu walk away with a flick of his sleeves, he hastily discarded his noble and reserved manner, turned around and hurried out of the room, blocking Luo Jinyu's way, hugged her in his arms, and said angrily: "Are you here to apologize, or to anger our family?"

"I'm so angry with you." Luo Jinyu frowned and pushed him away, "I intend to reconcile with you, why are you like that?"

"I won't let you hug me anymore, is this intentional reconciliation?" Shen Wuji complained quietly, "Our family has slept in the study for so many days, you cruel person."

"Don't you insist on sleeping in the study? I ask you about it almost every day, but you ignore me and don't want to say a word to me." Luo Jinyu said lightly, "When it comes to being cruel, How can I reach you."

"Then... that's why you were angry with our family first." Shen Wuji said.

Luo Jinyu didn't want to talk to him anymore and wanted to leave again.

"No, no, it's our family's fault, our family is angry with you!" Shen Wuji hurriedly opened his arms and blocked his way, "Good gold jade, good gold jade, don't be angry, our family doesn't want to sleep in the study room anymore, cold, lonely It's hard to sleep, woo..."

"..." Luo Jinyu stopped, looked at him helplessly and said, "Then you go back to your room and sleep, I didn't let you come."

"Then how shameless is our family?" Shen Wuji said sadly, "It's true that our family is going to leave, at least we can't go back in despair."

Luo Jinyu: "..."

He was silent for a while, and sighed a long time, "Now, I'm here to apologize to you, and I've repeatedly asked you to move back, will you move?"

Shen Wuji was afraid that he would really annoy people, so he hurriedly said: "Move, move now. Laifu, move our bedding back!"

"Yes." Just as Laifu responded, he came out with the quilt in his arms, and walked towards the main house without looking sideways.

——Since the master ran out to stop his wife, he has been quietly tidying the bedding.

Luo Jinyu: "..."

Shen Wuji held Luo Jinyu with one hand, fearing that he would run away, while holding the bracelet with the other hand, he said with a smile: "This bracelet is beautiful, as expected of you to choose it. Our family remembers that your father once gave it to your mother. Just plain bracelets."

Luo Jinyu nodded: "My mother said that it was their token of love."

Shen Wuji shyly said: "Then you gave this to our family, just like your father gave your mother a token of love? Well, I can't see that Mr. Luo still has such thoughts."

Luo Jinyu shook her head, and said calmly: "I didn't think too much about it, I just heard that giving gifts can make you happy, and you like them."

The corner of Shen Wuji's mouth twitched: "At this time, if you don't say a few words, no one will dare to sell you as dumb."

Luo Jinyu laughed dumbfounded: "Sorry, I disturbed your interest again?"

Shen Wuji always said that he has no interest, not only that, but also likes to disturb other people's interest.

"That's all." Shen Wuji no longer expected the stone to be interested, he lowered his head and was about to put on the bracelet, but saw his hand being grabbed by Luo Jinyu.

Luo Jinyu grabbed Shen Wuji with one hand, took the bracelet on Shen Wuji's hand with the other hand, put the bracelet on his wrist seriously, and said happily: "Exactly. The shopkeeper said he could take it back and change it, but it was a toss.”

Shen Wuji looked down at him, also smiled, and said in a low voice: "You bought it, so it's just right."

Luo Jinyu didn't notice the tenderness in his eyes, and continued to look at his hands, turning them over and over again: "When I think about it, I think it will definitely suit you very well, you are white, you look good wearing this———"

I don't care if it's white or not, whether it's called or not... I don't care what it's called or not, so many people say that our family doesn't call you, aren't you and I still a loving couple?There is no weighing or not in this world, only thinking about it or not.

While Shen Wuji was thinking this in his heart, he supported Luo Jinyu's waist, kissed him tenderly, and quietly clasped his fingers with the hand wearing the bracelet.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Shen Wuji had to go out to the Supervisor of Rites early, earlier than Luo Jinyu, who was always diligent.

Luo Jinyu asked puzzled, "Is there anything urgent today?"

"Very urgent." Shen Wuji had been holding back all night, and if he didn't go to see outsiders, something would go wrong, he said seriously, "I won't accompany you to have breakfast today, and I won't send you to the Ministry of Rites."

"I don't need you to give it away." Luo Jinyu said very seriously, "I hope you won't give it away in the future."

The Ministry of Rites and the Supervisor of Rituals are in two directions. On weekdays, Shen Wuji would always send Luo Jinyu there, rain or shine.Although Luo Jinyu was in love with him, he felt that this move was too crooked. Whenever he met his colleagues in the etiquette department, although most of them smiled and smiled, he still felt very shy.

I have never seen other couples like this.

Shen Wuji pretended not to hear this, kissed Luo Jinyu on the forehead, turned around and was about to leave the house in a hurry.

"Wait." Luo Jinyu called him, and said, "It's snowing, what are you doing with your sleeves so high?"

"Hot." Shen Wuji said.

"The charcoal is burned in the room, so it's naturally hot. If you want to go out, put down your sleeves." Luo Jinyu said.

Shen Wuji had no choice but to put down his cuffs, and was allowed to go out.

It's just that Luo Jinyu didn't know that this person was used to obedience and obedience, as soon as he left the gate of Shen's residence, he immediately rolled up his cuffs again, revealing a small white lotus arm and the golden bracelet on his wrist.

——Shen Wuji suffocated all night, if he didn't show off to outsiders, he would be suffocated to death if he was a big living person!

What kind of frost can compare to this bracelet's hot heart?

What kind of strong wind can compare to the heart-warming love between husband and wife?

What kind of ice and snow can compare to Jinyu's passionate love?

Nothing compares!

Early in the morning Zhan Qingshui went to work for the Supervisor of Rituals, and when he entered the main hall, Xifu immediately came forward, took off his cloak, took it outside the door to shake the snow, and took it aside to dry and hang it up.

Zhan Qingshui ignored Xifu, straightened his sleeves while walking in, suddenly stopped, and greeted with a smile: "Morning, Mr. Shen."

Eunuch Shen was sitting dignifiedly on his seat, drinking a bowl of tea, saw him, and said with a smile, "Good morning, Eunuch Zhan."

Zhan Qingshui walked towards his seat, and said pleasantly, "It suddenly snowed in the middle of the night last night, which woke our family up from the cold, hey."

Eunuch Shen smiled and said, "Burn more charcoal."

"It made people add more charcoal." Zhan Qingshui still didn't notice any subtleties, and continued, "I saw the snow on the road this morning that was knee-high, and I thought, I live close, and I may be the first to arrive Well, I never thought that Eunuch Shen lived far away, but he was the first to arrive, is there any rush?"

While exchanging greetings, he sat down and reached for the official documents on the desk.

"Our family woke up from the heat, sweating all over, and couldn't sleep." Shen Wuji said with a smile.

Zhan Qingshui looked over in surprise: "How hot—"

What he saw made his voice stop, and the corners of his eyes twitched violently, suddenly giving birth to the desire to escape.

However, he couldn't escape after all.

He could only watch as Shen Wuji rolled up his cuffs and pretended to be pinching the never-before-seen gold bracelet on his wrist—it looked shabby, it didn't look like it was given by someone who rewarded it, just to put it bluntly, just Unlike what Shen Wuji would wear.

While pinching the gold bracelet, Shen Wuji looked at Zhan Qingshui with a smile, his eyes full of expectation and urging.

Zhan Qingshui: "..."

He really didn't want to talk.

But he still had to talk.

He had to show a fake smile, pretending to be surprised and said: "Hey, I've never seen this bracelet before. It's so bright, so clean and beautiful."

"I just got it yesterday." Shen Wuji said indifferently, "It's the first time our family wears this element."

"Speak something that you are not afraid of offending your Eunuch Shen," Zhan Qingshui said, "This bracelet is much more beautiful than your fancy ones on weekdays. It is expensive because it looks dignified and clean." He then asked knowingly, "I bought it as a gift. ?”

"Our family loves those fancy ones, who will buy this?" Shen Wuji was dissatisfied with Zhan Qingshui's insinuation of his own preferences in normal times, but his prime minister can hold a boat in his belly, after all, he can spend snowy nights with beautiful women in his arms, no Compassionate with this poor solitary person on a cold bed, he said, "Sent by Luo Jinyu."

Zhan Qingshui hurriedly said: "No wonder, you have such good eyesight."

"What good eyesight, the cheapest one in Jinghong Pavilion." Shen Wuji snorted, "50 taels."

Zhan Qingshui: "..." He endured it, and continued to compliment, "Master Luo is no better than us, he has always been frugal, and our family has never seen him spend a penny indiscriminately. I think this 50 taels is a big deal."

"Where is it not? I have all the belongings." Shen Wuji covered his mouth and said angrily, "He still said some nonsense, saying it was to make up for the dowry, but people are not ashamed."

Zhan Qingshui: "..."

No, our family feels that this sentence must not have been said by Luo Jinyu, at least not by him willingly.

He couldn't bear it any longer, he got goosebumps all over his body, laughed twice, and looked down at the official seal.

Shen Wuji came to the Supervisor of Ceremonies early in the morning, sat upright and drank two cups of tea before looking forward to this showy person, how could he let it go easily, and said: "If you are curious, I will show you."

Zhan Qingshui: "..." No, our family is curious and doesn't want to see it.

Shen Wuji urged him: "Come on. Do you want our family to condescend and take your seat?"

I can't bear it anymore, I can bear it all over again.

With the most hypocritical smile on his face, Zhan Qingshui got up and went to Shen Wuji's case, pretending to look at the bracelet on his hand seriously, and was about to reach out to pinch it, when the hand quickly retracted, Shen Wuji said in disgust: "Clean the hand Is it you?"

Unbearable, no need to endure.

"Shen Wu—" Zhan Qingshui was about to turn his face, when he suddenly heard the voices of the other two fathers-in-law of the Supervisor of Rites: "Hey, Eunuch Shen, Eunuch Zhan, it's snowing so early, so heavy?"

Zhan Qingshui watched Shen Wuji get up quickly, and walked over like flying: "Hey, Eunuch Liu, Eunuch Zhang, it's so early? You're tired, our family will make tea for you."

The two father-in-laws hastily declined: "How dare you ask Eunuch Shen to make tea by himself?"

"Let's come alone..."

"Sit down, let's all warm up by the fire, and let our family come." Shen Wuji said with a smile, "Maybe our family hasn't made tea for a long time, I'm afraid I will lose my craftsmanship, so I ask all the father-in-laws to help me taste it."

Zhan Qingshui turned back silently, looked at the two dazed father-in-laws and the extremely attentive Shen Wuji with a sneer.

It didn't take long for the two father-in-laws to understand the reason for this.

"Hey, Eunuch Shen's bracelet, I've never seen it before, it's so bright." Eunuch Zhang said.

"I just bought it yesterday." Shen Wuji brought tea to them and said with a smile.

The two father-in-laws hurriedly reached out to pick up the teacups, held them in their hands, and continued: "It just seems a little plain?"

"It looks very generous."

Shen Wuji continued to make tea, the bracelet on his wrist dazzled people's eyes, he said reservedly: "Servants in front of the imperial court should be more modest, we are serving people's orders, why pretend to be rich."

Everyone: "..."

On weekdays, I don't see that you have such thoughts.

Shen Wuji sent the newly brewed hot tea to Zhan Qingshui's table, and continued to brew for himself: "Hey, look at how curious you are, it's okay to tell you, it was sent by Luo Jinyu."

Everyone: "..."

After making the tea, Shen Wuji intentionally continued to reveal his bracelet, so he found something to do, helping the two father-in-laws sort out the official documents on the desk.

The author has something to say: No, no one is curious, Mr. Shen, please don’t mess with our desk (.

I was thinking, is this considered office bullying by Eunuch Shen?Tomorrow's episode will end~
