Chapter 141, the injustice of ten years ago
The autumn rain drips along the eaves, and there is a slight cold rain in the wind. There is a dense sycamore tree in the yard of the study. Because a few leaves have not fallen in early autumn, they have been washed clean and green by the rain.
After the afternoon, the sky was cloudy like night. The glazed lamp was held on the black bookcase in the room, and Chu Huaixian held the lamp under the lamp and was writing a letter. After writing a few words to think about it, the slightly frown showed that the letter he wrote was unusual.
In the middle of the writing, Duofu replied: "Lord Xi of the Ministry of Criminal Justice came to worship the prince." Lord Xi? Chu Huaixian's eyes appeared in front of the most capable and muddy lord in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, known as Lord Mud. Chu Huaixian's young temperament doesn't like such a person, but the prince of the family is polite to see many people and greet Lord Xi.
Subconsciously looked out of the window, and the drizzle was raining happily. It's not a day to pay a visit. Lord Xi always has something to do, right? Chu Huaixian smiled. I have nothing to do with him recently. He came here... Thinking of this, if Chu Huaixian realized something, he should have read the letter. It should be for this letter.
"Please let him in." Chu Huaixian put down his pen and put away half of the letters. I got up and went to the place where I met the guests outside to meet Lord Xi. The mud adult is more than 40 years old, white and fat like a smiling Buddha. Only when such a person is broad-minded and fat, others are angry with him, and others are angry with him to relieve his boredom. Therefore, although his ability to try the case is average, this hand and mud are rare. In such a place as the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he is rarely popular than others.
As soon as he came in, he bowed with a smile and saluted: "I haven't seen you for a long time. I remember seeing him once when I hosted a banquet in the palace. When the emperor heard that the son of Lord Shaofu had won, he immediately went to the palace to give a banquet. Ha ha, Lord Fu's family is generous, and the prince is also very fond of the emperor.
Chu Huaixian just smiled on his face. He grew up in such a place with many words. Mr. Chu has never been vague about how to laugh at anyone. Duofu, it's raining outside. Let's make a good tea from Lord Ma, the governor of Fujian last time. Please sit down again: "Please."
Lord Xi sat down and talked a lot, haha and kept talking: "Haha, it's a coincidence today. Lord Ma is an arrogant person. If his tea is in his house, I can't drink it. Today, I have to taste the good tea of Fujian. It's all Wuyi's good tea, which should not be false.
"The taste is not bad. After he sent me, he invited him to drink it once when the governor of Shanxi went to Beijing. I heard that adults also love tea. This autumn rain is continuous, and you can go to autumn when cooking tea in the room. Chu Huaixian accompanied him to gossip.
Duofu sent tea before going out. After three cups of tea, Lord Xi said, "I heard that the prince took a file ten years ago. Ten years ago, I often walked in the palace. I knew what happened at that time."
Chu Huaixian said quietly: "Oh, who did you hear that?" Lord Xi smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, I'm still sorting out these files. When I went there, the person on duty told me that the prince had seen it. I looked through it again. I don't know which one the prince wanted to see. Maybe there is something I can repay.
"Ah, I casually looked at it. There are many things in ten years. What eunuchs fight, palace maids compete for vegetable households, the two princesses who entered Feng in the northwest did not accept the Yan medical treatment, and what other flowers and trees did not avoid..." Chu Huaixian said lightly: "I went to find a case in the department ten years ago, and I don't want to take it wrong."
Lord Xi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and a little disappointed. With another cup of tea, he said to Chu Huaixian, "I don't think the prince will care about these things. Ten years ago, the eunuch in the palace fought. At that time, the one who prevailed was a small eunuch beside the imperial concubine, and the one who was beaten by him was just a miscellaneous eunuch. Ten years later, the feng shui took turns, and this handyman eunuch is now in front of the queen."
Hearing this, Chu Huaixian's eyes flashed and said casually, "So what? Is it revenge?" Lord Xi laughed and said, "It's not revenge. It's not too late to revenge for ten years. I thought that when the prince looked at the file, someone begged you. I came to say many words, but the enemy can't solve the knot. If there is a place where I can run errands to untie, the prince just come to me.
Chu Huaixian followed: "Who is it that wants to be unlocked?" Lord Xi was slightly stunned, as if he wondered why Chu Huaixian didn't know. After a pass, his face was full of smiles: "It's not ordinary people who can make enemies."
Chu Huaixian understood a lot from a confused and brainless conversation. Send Lord Xi away and write a letter before returning to the case. This letter was written to his father. Mr. Chu was reminded by Lord Du and felt that Gong Miaoer's matter was strange. I quietly asked a few people who worked in those years, and everyone hesitated. Chu Huaixian wrote a letter to his father for advice.
With the episode of Lord Xi, Chu Huaixian's letter should be written as soon as possible. After writing before dinner, I had dinner in the study, read the book again, and ordered Xier to go to the room with an umbrella.
At the porch, I heard a "shudling" in the room, and I didn't know what I tripped over, and then several little girl laughed like a silver bell together. Xia Lu laughed and scolded, "Xiaochu, run again." Chu Huaixian also walked up the steps with a smile. When the curtain opened, Xiaochu bumped out his head and almost ran into Chu Huaixian's arms.
"The prince is back," Xiaochu shouted first, cleverly got behind Chu Huaixian, pushed Chu Huaixian back slightly, and then stretched out his head to laugh at Xia Lv: "Are you still going to hit me?"
Xia Lu held a feather duster in his hand and bent down with a smile and said first, "I don't want you to come back later. Come back a little later and watch me beat her." Chu Huaixian came in and saw a pair of dominoes and a pile of melon seeds on the couch. As soon as I came out of the autumn rain, I only felt that the room was warm and bright. I asked with a smile, "What are you doing?"
"What about the dominoes? He said that he would play if he lost, but he refused to let people play if he lost." Xia Lu threw away the chicken feather duster in his hand and brought the little girl to clean it up. He turned around and said to Chu Huaixian, "Can Xiaochu burn the charm? The prince came so fast." Then call Xiaochu outside: "The prince has come in. Why don't you wait to change your clothes? You just hide outside and be lazy."
Xiaochu just came in, and he was still careful to take a step: "Don't hit me again." Chu Huaixian looked at her and was also funny. He untied his coat and said to Xia Lu and Xiaochu, "It's okay to play for a while during the day, but don't be annoyed. Xiaochu is the most hateful. Xia Lv ignores her.
Lin Xiaochu took a home-style stone cyan shirt and changed it for Chu Huaixian. Hearing that he was hateful, he wrinkled his nose. Chu Huaixian stared and said, "Is that right?" Xia Lu looked at Xiaochu with a smile and quickly changed his smiling face: "What you say is right."
After changing his clothes and shoes, Chu Huaixian sat down on the bed, and Xia Lv replied: "September Guanyin's birthday is coming. The old lady said she was too lazy to move and asked the second lady to go to the incense. He also said that all the girl who wants to go can follow him. In our room, Xiaochu and I went to pray for the prince. What do you think? Take another look at Xiaochu: "Xiaochu has been lazy recently, and he still won't go."
Xiaochu hurriedly defended: "I don't believe in ghosts and gods." As soon as the words came out, Xia Lu stab her: "Nonsense, Bodhisattva doesn't like you when you say this. Sure enough, you are a hateful." Chu Huaixian leisurely watched the girls quarreling and said to Xiaochu, "If you don't believe in ghosts and gods, it's good to go shopping. Guanyin's birthday is in the Guanyin Academy in Beijing. It's impossible for some people to go.
"Well," Xiaochu stopped talking, and his face was still unhappy. Chu Huaixian ignored her and only said to Xia Lu, "It's because there are no clothes. Xiaochu is uncomfortable again. Go and tell the second lady and ask her to buy you a dress and jewelry. There are new clothes on the street. Why doesn't the second lady prepare for you?"
Xia Lu, wearing a water-red shirt and a green skirt, also followed: "No, we are almost burnt, and the second lady doesn't want our clothes this year." Xiaochu followed and muttered, "Is this you fighting for clothes?" Xia Lu's clothes are still new.
Chu Huaixian glanced at her, Xia Lu also glanced at her, and Xiaochu didn't say anything. Xia Lu couldn't help saying to Chu Huaixian, "If you don't protect her, you will be much more honest at the beginning of childhood. In the afternoon, I ran to the pool with an umbrella to beat wild ducks. I couldn't even shout back after getting all over the water. Lin Xiaochu doesn't talk. If he doesn't go out at home, it's just for fun. In fact, these people in this room are all good-looking for nothing.
"I'll protect her back, and then you can beat her." Chu Huaixian laughed and scolded Xiaochu: "The weather is in autumn, and the water is cold. When you fall into the water, I will give you a good beating."
The master and servant scolded Xiaochu out one by one. Xia Lu smiled at the prince again: "Xiaochu doesn't hold grudges, but if she says too much, she will be angry with me." Chu Huaixian said, "Don't pay attention to her. She has to grind her temper. Besides, she is very naughty. Look at her and don't fall into the water. She is not a child. She climbs up the edge of the pool every day.
"The osmanthus flowers are blooming well, and she is still climbing trees. It's really not that the child is like a child. The old osmanthus tree in the back garden is so tall. I saw her monkey on the tree, which scared me so much. Xia Lu smiled and leaned back, and the prince said that he could no longer talk nonsense without the rules of Xiaochu. Xia Lv, who had this heavy responsibility, was often made ironic by Xiaochu.
Chu Huaixian remembered the time he saw Xiaochu in another courtyard. When Xiaochu fell from the white orchid tree, he couldn't help smiling again and said to Xia Lu, "Take care of her well. Let her go out. You can't let her go out at home.
Xiaochu stayed in his room, felt a fever in his ears, and knew that he must be talking about me. After a while, I reminded her, "Sister, you are up all night today." Xiaochu suddenly remembered and hurried forward. The girls were washing their clothes while serving Chu Huaixian. When they saw Xiaochu coming, they all smiled: "You finally remembered."
Lin Xiaochu, who was neglecting, smiled awkwardly and blamed Chu Huaixian without guilt. It was you who scolded me that I hid.
