[Caiyun Kingdom] The beginning of people

The author has something to say:

Obviously politely—at least on the surface—discussing things seriously, but some of Huang Yi's bad qualities really cannot be changed no matter what.I have long since stopped having extravagant hopes for things like Kui Huangyi learning to be polite, and now I only pray that he is not just addicted to hurting me.

Unexpectedly, this person still had a straight face, and continued nonchalantly: "The scenery in Bizhou is also good."

Did he promise not to raise the price of Bizhou calligraphy and painting?That's good, if you really ask him to investigate, maybe something will happen, and I also want the research and development rights of Hehong's family... "Master Aoi said so." Okay.

"Chairman Zhang is bold."

"It's not as good as Master Kui." I think Meng Shilang must not be able to beat you.

The price of this round is comparable, but it is exactly as Kui Huangyi intended, I am settled, it is the first round of the game.I touched my nose, and cursed secretly that I was too lax recently, so I can't be careless.

I got out of the palace gate, because Huang Yi wanted to send me back, and his two subordinates were still following me. I couldn't sit in the sedan chair by myself, so I simply walked back.

"Miss," Xin Zi helped me along, looked at Huang Yi, and then at me, "Is it difficult for you to walk in these shoes? Why don't you take a sedan chair?"

I burst out laughing, she thought Huang Yi was in the way.Huang Yi and Lu Qingya were expressionless, but Hong Xiuli looked apologetic.I turned around and smiled at Hong Xiuli.

"Master Hong, it's fine. Walking more is good for your health."

"Ah, this is also true!" Hong Xiuli clenched her fist upwards, "I often run around, and I haven't gotten sick a few times! President Zhang, you should also go out more often."

Lu Qingya chuckled.

Hong Xiuli raised her eyebrows, "What's the matter? Are you a moth who can't see people without the strength to fight chickens?"

"Let me tell you, do you know how many places a peddler has to visit in a year? Forget about the lack of research, not even common sense, it's really unbearable." Lu Qingya quarreled with Hong Xiuli, "You idiot? I don't think you even know how to ride a horse, do you?"

Hong Xiuli gritted her teeth to the point of rattling.

I cover my mouth and cough lightly, hiding my smile.Seeing that there was no reaction on Huang Yi's face, I asked in a low voice, "Master Hong and Master Lu are always like this?" I feel that Lu Qingya should be quite calm and self-possessed.

Huang Yi turned his face away, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, "Forget it on weekdays, if you behave like this stupid at work, I will definitely fire you."

I finally laughed, "But you are very optimistic about them?"

He slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, revealing a vicious smile, "I don't want to see people who are opposites like them, who climbed higher in the end?"

"...I don't have such bad hobbies."

Huang Yi's gaze was on Xin Zi who was watching the play with his eyeballs rolling around.

I quickly waved my hand, "It's none of my business." I didn't teach this girl's bad side.

We were about to go back to the Guanfu while we were joking, but we saw a large crowd of noisy people gathered in front of the gate of the mansion.I gestured to Xin Zi with my eyes, and Xin Zi immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "What's going on? Are you also making trouble in front of Shangshu's mansion?" At the same time, she took a step forward to protect her. in front of me.

"Miss San!" The steward of the Guanfu saw me and shouted profusely in sweat.

The crowd was silent for a while, and then a teenager in his teens rushed out and ran towards me, but was stopped by Zhang's servants from afar, and those noisy people wanted to rush this way again.

Xin Zi pulled out the whip wrapped around his waist, and lashed hard on the ground, with a resounding sound.

"Calm down!" Xin Zi shouted.

As soon as the whip was whipped, everyone finally calmed down.I looked at the boy, who stared straight at me, and suddenly burst into tears.

... I don't think I have an illegitimate child?I was embarrassed by myself, and then waved to let the people from Zhang's family let go of the boy's hand.He has such eyes, he will not come to assassinate me.As soon as the boy was released, he rushed up and hugged my waist tightly.

"You..." My waist hurt from being hugged, and when I was about to push him away a little, I was stopped by his call.

"Aunt Lan!" The young man cried, "Aunt Lan! Woooooo...I finally found you...Woooooo...Aunt Lan..."

People who still call me by my real name are old acquaintances, but this child... I exchanged glances with Huang Yi, then motioned Xinzi to stop the others, then patted the boy on the head, waiting for him to look up When I was there, I smiled and said: "Yes, hello, it's the first time we met. I am Zhangjia Zelan from Longqing County, Heizhou. Do you need me?" Pulled out a handkerchief and wiped his face, "I am Zhang Zelan, if you need something, please tell me."

"Aunt Lan... woo..." The young man sniffed, but still couldn't stop crying, "My mother is dead," he pointed at the people who were making noise just now, "My mother is dead! They forced her to death of!"

Hearing the young man's words, the people started yelling again, and Xin Zi whipped his whip again, this time directly hitting the ground half an arm's length away from them, scaring them into shutting their mouths again.

Frowning, I slightly pushed the boy away, bent down and wiped his face again, facing his eyes, and asked again: "You said your mother was forced to death by them?"

"Yes!" he sobbed.

I held his face, "Then you just remember, never shed a single tear in front of them. Crying will not find any help for you, you have to cheer yourself up. For your mother, for yourself, can you do it?"

The boy froze again and again, then vigorously raised his hand to wipe his face, and replied loudly: "Yes!"

I smiled, "Very well," I took his hand, "then explain the matter clearly. What is your name, where do you live, and who are your parents?"

"My name is Wang Yanhu, I live in Yecheng County, Hongzhou, and my ancestral home is Longqing County, Heizhou." After all, he is a young boy who has just turned [-]. Although he is no longer crying, he still sucks his nose non-stop.

He spoke clearly and clearly. It seems that this young man has been to school.I was about to ask again when I was caught by his next sentence.

"Father's name is Wang Liu, my mother," his eyes flushed, "is Wang Zhang's Yantian."

I opened my mouth slightly, and my throat felt dry for a while.I tightened my hands, closed my lips, and asked softly again: "Are you Yan Tian's child?" That girl I grew up in Heizhou with a dull face all the year round but was very lovable, Yan Tian?

"Yes," Wang Yanhu nodded heavily, "Aunt Lan, my mother told me to come to you before she left. She said that you have been in business all year round, and it is hard to find your whereabouts, so she asked me to come to Guiyang Guan Feixiang Guan Erye's house first. , Said that the second master is righteous and will take care of me, and you will definitely go back to the Guanfu once a year, and then I will see you." He carefully took out a golden step rock with shells from the lapel and handed it to me .

I took this golden step shaker, it was very light, it was obviously a fake, but the workmanship was excellent, and it was impossible to tell the authenticity from the fake just by looking at the appearance.I still remember my awkward temper in the past, knowing that the young lady of Zhifu Xiao’s family likes elegance, and the morals of the world also value the beauty of simplicity, I just want to wear gold hairpins all over my head, and snicker at other people who can’t bear to look closely expression.But gold is very heavy, and it would give you a headache if you wear it often, so I asked someone to make some lighter fakes, and this gold step rock with shells is a token between me and Yan Tian. At that time, I refused to ask for anything, but I only wanted this golden step... I said I would keep it for one day, and use it as evidence to mock my taste.

I know that she wants to leave a memory as a testimony of the days between us.

But when she saw this golden step rock again, it was no longer in her hand.

"Aunt Lan," Wang Yanhu glared at the troublemakers, "They are members of the Wang clan. My mother was pregnant, but my grandmother insisted that we move to the red state, saying that my mother would not respect you because of your presence in the black state." In-laws, the mother’s second child was lost due to the exhaustion of the journey! The mother was injured because of this, but the grandmother didn’t give up, scolding the mother every day and forcing her to work. The father was fine when he was there, but..." Wang Yanhu used his sleeve He rubbed his eyes again and again until the eyelids were worn out, "Father passed away a few years ago, and my grandmother and grandfather became more and more harsh on my mother, which caused her to suffer from all kinds of illnesses. My mother endured it." For many years, the money and dowry have been given to them, but when the grandparents insisted on adopting a cousin of mine for my father, so that my father’s property could be taken away, my mother made her voice for the first time. But..."

I said softly: "Xin Zi," I didn't even look at the crowd who were arguing again, "If anyone dares to disturb my conversation with the young master, they will call me on the pretext of causing trouble in front of the official's office."

"Yes!" Xin Zi whipped his whip and led the servants of Zhang's family to drive them away.

"Go on." I smiled.

"...But," Wang Yanhu was a little timid, and continued loudly again, "but the grandparents sued my mother in court, saying that she was not filial, and she was beaten fifty times, and she was seriously ill for a year. They said that the mother It’s useless, I insisted on adopting my father, raised the eldest son on top of me, and kept my mother from touching my father’s inheritance. We don’t want to do this, but they want to kill my mother before they are willing to give up! They even killed my mother for 20 taels of silver. Hired them out! My mother refused, and let them be imprisoned in the firewood house. I escaped and sued the officials to prevent the widow from being forced to marry, but the county magistrate in Yecheng County was my uncle who wanted my family property, and the government didn't care at all! In the end, they forced my mother into the sedan chair while I was in school, and they were forced..." He gritted his teeth, "They were forced into the bridal chamber. Afterwards, I went to sue the officials and everyone in the town knew about the trouble, and they only wanted to get it back. The bride price, but the mother has since been judged to be someone else's wife."

"Continue to talk." I patted his hand, lowered my eyes, and said softly.

"After my mother learned of the verdict, she quietly confessed to me and asked me to come to you, but... she didn't say that she wanted... She pretended to be obedient for a few days, and when her new husband's house relaxed her vigilance, she hanged herself." Wang Yanhu pointed to an old woman in the crowd who fell to the ground and cried loudly, "Grandmother is afraid that I will sue the capital and won't let me come to you. I escaped!"

"Good boy," I patted his head, and said in a warm voice, "Thank you for your hard work." Then I turned my head and called out, "Take the young master into the mansion first, and the others will buckle up everything for me."

"Yes!"

"Lan," Huang Yi said in a deep voice, "don't meddle in other people's business."

I know he's doing it for my own good.A few days ago, I made a big fuss about Pei, but now Yantian is a family matter. In the era when filial piety and clan are paramount, it is actually very difficult for me to intervene. To be fair, it's harder.It's just that this is Yan Tian, ​​and it's not someone else who was carried as a widow. It was Yan Tian who I saw growing up when I was a child.

Have I seen too many unlucky beauties?

my fault.

I smiled and looked at Huang Yi, "I don't care, so do you care?"

Huang Yi remained silent.This kind of thing also involves the ethical concept of the whole country, and there is no need for him to intervene in this matter in this troubled time.

I smiled and shook my head, "So, I'll take care of it." He shouldn't be blamed.

What I blame is myself.

Huang Yi frowned tightly, folded his hands behind his back, and scolded in a barely audible voice: "Nonsense!"

I smiled at him, then bowed to him, Lu Qingya, and Hong Xiuli, "Thank you, my lords, for sending me off. However, there is something at home, so Sanniang will leave first." I rolled up my sleeves, and slowly went to the mansion Ignoring the noise of catching people nearby, I lowered my head and raised the hem of my skirt to step up the steps in front of the door, while ordering softly, "Let Wang Yuanliang come to Beijing to see me, and people from Hongzhou will also have people investigate the matter. If If there is any difficulty in the matter, don't force it, just come back and report to me as soon as possible."

"Yes, miss." One person took the order and left.

"All the detainees will be sent to the prison in Guiyang Yamen, and then tell the matter to Mr. Zhang Zechi, Zhang Wuye, and ask him to help detain the detainees and interrogate them."

"Yes, Miss." Another person took the order and left.

I stopped, bent down and fiddled with the dead Chlorophytum, "I handed the name card to the prime minister's mansion, saying that I want to visit the mansion the day after tomorrow."

"Yes, Miss." Another person took orders and left.

I straightened up, clapped my hands, and looked at Xinzi who had put away the whip and returned to me, "Xinzi, do me a favor."

Xin Zi said with a serious expression, "Miss, tell me."

I smiled, "Go find the thickest pants you wear in winter."

Xin Zi was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses, understood what I meant, widened her eyes and said, "You want to..."

I chuckled lightly, patted the back of her hand, turned around and continued to walk slowly towards the study, "I haven't decided yet, I'll ask Wang Yanhu for his opinion first, don't worry."

"...Yes." At critical moments, Xin Zi never said much, which is very similar to Yan Tian.

They are also smart and straightforward, but the biggest difference between them is probably that one is always sullen and a little more restrained, while the other is eccentric and expressive.If Yan Tian was not an orphan of war, would she have such a smile?

I walked into the study, closed the door behind my back, walked quietly to the table, looked at the blue sky outside the window, and grabbed the corner of the mahogany table with one hand so hard that my knuckles turned white, my forearm trembled slightly, and then I relaxed again Come down and place your palms flat on the table.

After a long time, when the sky was dark, I slowly raised my hand and slapped it hard on the table.

"Boom!"

I'm weak and the desktop is intact, but I always feel that something has cracked.
