Chapter 159 Eight Treasures Makeup 13
"Why did the Lin family regret their marriage?" Huo Weilou asked calmly.
Sun Zhao sighed, "I don't know. The Bo family was involved in a corruption case at the Ministry of Household Affairs earlier. The Marquis knew about it. At that time, Shilang Lin didn't say anything, and it didn't seem like it was because of this matter. In the past two days, People from the Bo family went to the Lin family to cause trouble, so it spread among the people. However, I don’t know the specific reason why I was demoted, and I have never asked Lin Shilang.”
Huo Weilou didn't ask any more questions and just said: "Okay, I'll wait for her here for a while, and you go and do your work."
Sun Zhao knew in his heart that Huo Weilou only came with Bao Ruoyou, so he ordered the yamen to serve tea and then left.
There are a lot of files in the inner treasury. Wu Xiang took Bo Ruoyou to see the case records of Jianhe 20 years ago. He pointed to the two rows of high cabinets in front of him and yawned: "Look at it, it's scary. It's not scary. If it weren't for the lack of manpower, I wouldn't have to suffer this. I led these people and read them for most of the day, but they only looked at dozens of books. There are hundreds of books on top, but what should I do? ”
Wu Xiang's face was slumped, and his eyes were green and black. After saying this, his stomach growled. His face turned red and he was a little embarrassed. Bo Ruoyou laughed and said, "The head catcher will take them first." Let's have a meal, and then take a nap in the room to recuperate before coming back. I'm here to help you look at it now, so it won't be a waste of time for you."
Wu Xiang glanced at Huo Weilou sitting under the west window. Thinking that Huo Weilou was here, they were quite restrained, so they thanked him repeatedly and left the warehouse with Huo Weilou.
Seeing that they were all gone, Huo Weilou stood up and came to Bao Ruoyou. While looking for the files according to the time, Bao Ruoyou said, "Captain Wu and the others have been looking at it for most of the day, and they haven't had time to eat yet."
Huo Weilou didn't care about this. He glanced at the files on the cabinet and frowned slightly, "Ten years ago, there was quite a lot of unrest in the capital."
Both these two rows of cabinets contain files from around 20 years after the founding of the People’s Republic of China. Compared with today, they do give people the impression that cases were frequently occurring. Bo Ruoyou’s eyes dimmed as he thought of something, and Huo Weilou pondered: “In those years The chief official of the Jingzhaoyi Yamen, surnamed Wang, was later convicted of corruption and is still in jail."
Huo Weilou only returned to the capital five years ago. In the 20th year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was not yet thirteen years old. He had just joined the army and went to the north. Naturally, he could not remember clearly. If he had not taken charge of the prison after returning to the capital, he would have only I'm afraid it's hard to even know this.
Bao Ruoyou can’t even remember clearly. She left Beijing ten years ago, and more than a year ago, it was when her parents had an accident. She was still young at that time, and she returned to Beijing this year. Before, I even forgot what the capital looked like.
Bao Ruoyou went to get the files according to the progress of Wu Xiang and others' review. "If someone really came to report to the official at that time, they would definitely leave the case records. After reading these files, they can always find them."
Huo Weilou took down the file that was placed high in the cabinet for her, and the two of them went back to sit at the table and chairs under the west window. Bo Ruoyou looked at the file very carefully, while Huo Weilou was thinking about other things. "Mr. Cheng goes to Lin Mansion less these days"
Bo Ruoyou said without raising his head: "Yes, Aunt Lin's condition has improved, so he will go there every four or five days. Before today, he had not been there for four days."
Huo Weilou responded without saying anything more.
……
Cheng Yunzhi came to Lin Mansion in a few days. As soon as he arrived in front of Lin Mansion in a carriage today, he heard crying and commotion outside, and there was some discussion. When he opened the curtain to look, Zhou Liang also reined in his horse.
They were still quite far apart, but even so, Cheng Yunzhi also caught a glimpse of Hu and Bo Yixian, mother and daughter. They were standing in front of the Lin Mansion, shouting something into the door, while Bo Yixuan stood there with a sullen face. In front of the two men, they were whispering advice, but Mr. Hu not only refused to listen, but also cursed at him angrily. Bo Yixuan blushed in front of everyone and turned away angrily.
"Is this Lin family really a treacherous family?"
"Hush, I don't dare to say that. Minister Lin has a very good official reputation. I think there are many reasons for this."
"On the contrary, Mr. Bo was convicted and deprived of his official status earlier. Now he is afraid of being exiled..."
The low voices of the common people reached the carriage carriage, and Cheng Yunzhi understood the general idea. He lowered the curtain and asked Zhou Liang to go to the side door of Lin's house.
Arrived outside the side door, and as soon as he knocked on the door, footsteps came from behind the door, and the back door was opened a crack. When he saw Cheng Yunzhi standing outside, the servant respectfully invited him in.
When he saw Lin Huai in the main courtyard, Lin Huai had a bitter look on his face, "You went around to the main entrance, right?"
Cheng Yunzhi was drinking tea, and the old **** asked: "Why did it happen like this?"
Lin Huai sighed, "We were in peace with each other originally, but they insisted on making a fuss to advance the marriage. Shuning was so angry that she fell ill and almost died. Later, she somehow entangled Zhaoer, which also made Zhaoer angry. I don’t like this marriage, even though we have been engaged for many years, but when I think about the many troubles that will arise after the two families get married, I discussed with his mother and decided to cancel the marriage."
"Yixian's mother is not easy to get along with, but we have watched Yi Xian grow up and break off the marriage. Her daughter's family has the most difficult time, so we asked them to find an official media to break off the marriage, but they As soon as we heard that we had this intention, we decided not to do it. We came to the house to make trouble twice first. Shuning was so angry that she felt a little bad. When they were not allowed in, she started making trouble outside the house."
Lin Huai spread his hands and said, "What else can I do? Fortunately, we haven't made a decision yet and are not married yet. Otherwise, if the two families really become in-laws in the future, they will come to us."
Cheng Yunzhi took two sips of tea and said, "I'm going to ask Shu Ning for her pulse."
Before Lin Huai finished complaining, he understood that Cheng Yunzhi did not want to get involved in this matter, but when he arrived in front of Chu Shuning, Chu Shuning couldn't help but sigh, and even said: "Earlier, we were still Taking into consideration the years of friendship, we cannot bear to break off the engagement with them. For this reason, we feel sorry for Youyou and feel guilty in every possible way. We never thought that it would end up like this."
Chu Shuning caressed her heart and sighed, "Let them make trouble. For two days at most, we won't be shameless or affectionate. We will go straight to report to the official and see what the Yamen says."
It is not right to cause trouble like this, not to mention the status of the Lin family. Once reported to the official, the Bo family will at least say that they have to go to the government office. Cheng Yunzhi looked sighing, but did not say much. When asked, After taking a new pulse, I planned to say goodbye.
Before leaving, Chu Shuning left a message, but couldn't help but ask: "Why haven't you seen Youyou here in the past few days?"
"There are cases in the Yamen these days, and she goes to the Yamen every day."
Lin Huai said: "I heard that someone died in the garden of Prince Nan'an."
Cheng Yunzhi responded that he did not stay in the house longer after all. Lin Huai personally sent him away. When he returned to the room, he heard Chu Shuning say bitterly: "It seems that Yunzhi has really given up on marrying us. Yes, but according to what he said, Youyou is still working as a widower in the Yamen. If this continues, how can we get a good marriage?"
Lin Huai comforted him: "You don't have to worry about this. Zhao'er has canceled the engagement and is not in a hurry to talk about it. With so many girls in the capital, why can't he choose the one he likes?"
Chu Shuning lay down and said, "The word "favorite" is the most rare."
As soon as Cheng Yunzhi walked out of the side door, he saw a figure flashing past on the corner of the street. Without thinking much, he got on the carriage and went back to his home. As soon as he left, the figure on the corner flashed out again, and then went to the main entrance. After a while, he ran to the Bo family's carriage.
Sitting in the carriage were the weeping Mrs. Hu and the trance-like Bo Yixian. When they heard that Cheng Yunzhi came out of the Lin Mansion, their expressions changed. Mrs. Hu gritted her teeth and said, "I'll tell you why the Lin family broke off the engagement! It turns out it was that The **** lame guy is getting in the way!"
For two days in a row, Bo Yixian and Mrs. Hu went to the door of the Lin Mansion to plead for mercy, complaining and making trouble, even without losing face. However, the Lin family did not relent in the slightest. She was filled with despair, and when she thought that the Lin family had withdrawn from her relationship As for the marriage, Lin Zhao was asked to marry Bo Ruoyou, and there was even more unwillingness and anger gushing out from the bottom of his heart.
……
Bo Ruoyou read the files at dusk, and later, Huo Weilou also read with her. Who would have thought that the aloof Wu Zhaohou could look up these trivial old case records here?
From the 20th year of Jianhe to the 19th year of Jianhe, except for a few murders, most of them were petty thefts, fights, or neighborhood disputes, not to mention Huo Wei Tower. Even Bao Ruoyou looked a little tired. Seeing that it was getting late, Bao Ruoyou put away the files he had read and planned to leave the government office with Huo Weilou.
She held a pile of files in front of her, and Huo Weilou followed behind him holding a pile. When they arrived at the cabinet, Huo Weilou came to help him after putting them away. He was tall and had long arms, and he could easily reach the highest point. As he did these things, Bo Ruoyou looked at him with unblinking eyelashes.
Huo Weilou put the books on the top, and when he lowered his eyes, he saw her looking at him. The afterglow of the setting sun outside the window shone into the window lattice, reflecting her gentle eyebrows. Huo Weilou's heart moved slightly, and he stepped forward to bully her. Pressed against the cabinet.
Bao Ruoyou was startled and quickly looked at the door. There was an official guarding the door, and Wu Xiang and the others were probably coming back.
"Master Hou——"
"Don't be afraid, I can hear you, no one is coming in."
Huo Weilou leaned forward to kiss her cheek, and the small kisses kept falling, and soon he covered her lips. Bo Ruoyou didn't know where his intention came from, and he murmured in his throat without pushing him, and his kiss gradually He rubbed her deeply into his arms, and the books behind him made a sound. After a long while, Huo Weilou let her go, his eyes surging, a little hot.
Bao Ruoyou's breathing was rapid, her red lips were bright, her eyes were wet, and her face was crimson. She leaned on his arms with no strength, her heartbeat was fast and heavy because she was afraid of someone coming.
Huo Weilou suppressed the desire in his heart, stroked the top of her hair and waited for her to calm down. After a while, he said softly: "Your Majesty's decree is for these few days. You have to be prepared in your heart."
