great mandate

Although Shen Wuji was never afraid of thinking bad things about people, when he heard Luo Jinyu say this at first, he was a little taken aback, frowned and said: "Didn't he propose the New Deal back then?"

Luo Jinyu was about to repeat what Elder Qi said, but Shen Wuji quickly figured it out, sneered, and said disdainfully, "However, it's not difficult to understand. After all, the new policy is to cut the skin of the rich and powerful, and he was just an old man at that time." fart."

Luo Jinyu was very depressed: "You said the same thing as Mr. Qi. But I never thought that Mr. Chengming would have such a day. Since I was young, Mr.—that is, your father, he seldom let me read it. The articles and fus of contemporary people, he said that the articles and fus written by the ancients are full of style and worth reading. But only Mr. Chengming, who is highly praised by his husband, always asks me to read more and read carefully, saying that he has the style and style of ancient literati , comparable to Wang Anshi.

Later, although various things happened, I had many disputes with Mr. Chengming, but it didn't touch the root cause, and I was still willing to trust and respect him.But now... no disease, I am very sad. "

Shen Wuji hurriedly supported his arm, said: "Don't be sad, this matter is not unusual, if you are also sad, and you will be an official for dozens of years in the future, what can you do?"

Luo Jinyu: "..."

He couldn't feel at ease when he heard such reassurance.

Shen Wuji talked about how to comfort Luo Jinyu gently and pleasantly, so I won't go into details for now.

Let's say that the next day, Luo Jinyu cheered up and went to the old Yuge's mansion to pick up Elder Qi, and then went to the ruins of the other courtyard in the western suburbs to burn the eulogy written by Elder Qi.

Shen Wuji is worthless today, for him, it is a rare thing, he is reluctant to waste this great day easily, and knowing that Luo Jinyu has an appointment with Elder Qi, he will not break the appointment for himself, so he simply stays with Luo Jinyu Go for an outing together.

——Luo Jinyu repeatedly corrected that it was not an outing, but a worship trip, but Shen Wuji still happily prepared cakes, tea and fruits, brought West Wind and Laifu, and regarded it as an outing.

Luo Jinyu has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't spoil his interest, he likes to go for an outing on the "grave mound", so let's go.

It's just that before leaving, I told you several times not to show joy in front of Elder Qi, that would be too rude, and Shen Wuji, Xifeng and Laifu had a picnic far away when Elder Qi and Luo Jinyu were going to burn the sacrificial rites.

Shen Wuji said again and again: "Hey, you are even asked to teach our family how to deal with the world! It's so funny to hear it."

Luo Jinyu: "..."

Actually, Luo Jinyu really worried too much.

Shen Wuji always thought that this little old man was very kind to Luo Jinyu, so he was also polite to this person.

When he reached the gate of Yu Mansion, Shen Wuji got off the carriage himself, and went up to greet him from a distance to help him attentively, which made Elder Qi a little uneasy and very uncomfortable.

Thinking about him, Qi Qian was an official all his life, and he sat in some unworthy seats, how could he enjoy the style of shouting and hugging like Yu Huailiang?For Shen Wuji, the most popular number one in front of the emperor, to serve him personally, he never even thought about it.

Alas, I got the light of the students.

Qi Laoben also had some doubts that Shen Wuji would come with him today, and he would more or less inquire about Mr. Yuge or the New Deal, but unexpectedly, Shen Wuji didn't talk about a single word of business along the way, and he was taking good care of him and Luo Jinyu, chatting along the way Scenery, pleasantries about old Qi's body, arrangements for leaving home and so on.

When he arrived near the other courtyard in the western suburbs, Shen Wuji smiled and said: "Mr. Qi pays homage to old friends, and maybe he has some private things to say, so our family will not follow. He also brought the child out, so our family will accompany the child to walk around. Outing. When the time comes, I will pick you up again."

Elder Qi couldn't wait for it, so he nodded in agreement.

Shen Wuji took Xifeng and Laifu to other nearby places.

The three of them found a clean place with a wide view, laid cloth on Laifu, served snacks one by one, and went to fly a kite with Xifeng.

It was rare for Shen Wuji to be so comfortable, sitting on the grass covered with cloth and looking at the surrounding scenery.

Suddenly, his eyes stopped on the ruins of the other courtyard in the western suburbs in the distance.

Naturally, Shen Wuji didn't see Luo Jinyu.

He saw no one but the ruins.

There, neither human habitation nor birds and beasts were seen.

But according to Luo Jinyu, this place has been abandoned for many years, rumors are filled with resentment, and ordinary people avoid it.

Shen Wuji was vaguely aware that something was wrong.

He frowned and thought carefully, and it didn't take long before he thought of the key point.

He Fangzhou still didn't know about the beating in Minglu, he saw Shen Wuji hurriedly came to the East Factory in the evening, and said to himself: "Go and transfer the files of the other courtyard in the western suburbs."

Although He Fangzhou had a dispute with Shen Wuji a few days ago, he has a gentle temper. As long as Shen Wuji doesn't mention it, he will naturally pretend that nothing happened. He immediately asked someone to adjust the file, and asked himself: "What's wrong?"

Shen Wuji said: "Our family went there with Jinyu today, but we felt strange. The other courtyard in the western suburbs has been abandoned for decades, and no one cares about it? The other courtyard has been abandoned for so many years, and our family looks at it from a distance. It can be seen that the wealth and luxury in the past were not owned by ordinary people. Looking at the location of the other courtyard, it is not remote, it is a good location with excellent scenery and very close to the capital. Our house will do as you said Look at fur feng shui, the feng shui of that place is also good. Our family can't figure out why it has been abandoned for so many years."

The tragedy in the other courtyard in the western suburbs happened when Mr. Yu Ge and Mr. Qi were young. At that time, Shen Wuji, He Fangzhou and others were not born yet, and there was no follow-up to the incident, so they hadn't heard much about it before, nor had they heard about it. It is normal to pay attention to the other courtyards in the western suburbs.

He Fangzhou didn't even know about the ghosts there, so he didn't answer for a while.

Fortunately, the files were quickly found.

Shen Wuji hastily took it for a closer look, and He Fangzhou stood beside him and also stretched out his head to look at it, then said: "It turns out that there was such a tragedy, and it was rumored that evil spirits were responsible, so it is not surprising that it has been abandoned for many years."

"No, it's very strange." Shen Wuji frowned, and said, "Are you a fool? Didn't you see it written in this file that the Western Suburb Courtyard is owned by a wealthy businessman named Wang Gui?"

He Fangzhou was startled: "So..."

"So, when those examiners were arrested for protesting against fraudulent imperial examinations, why were they locked up in a merchant's courtyard?" Shen Wuji asked.
