Shen Yuzhi was dressed in a cyan seventh-grade official uniform. Standing in front of a second-grade vermilion flying fish uniform that symbolized his identity, Shen Yuzhi was not timid at all. He always had a faint smile on his face:
"Master Commander, long time no see, but you're still well."
Fu Jin'an put the tip of his tongue against his back molars, stared at him for a long time with squinted eyes, and said slowly: "It turns out that Master Shen actually knows to come back."
Shen Yuzhi stroked the folds on his arms and said, "Xiaoguan asked the emperor for half a year's leave. Now that the deadline has expired, naturally he does not dare to delay any longer."
"What about her?"
After a long while, Fu Jinan squeezed out two words through his teeth.
Shen Yuzhi pretended to be puzzled: "Who? Who is Master Fu talking about?"
Without waiting for Fu Jinan to answer, he suddenly realized: "Oh! I understand, you want to ask the prisoner who was just detained in Dali Temple, right? I'm sorry, I have just taken office, and many things have not been smoothed out yet. Sir, you have to be patient. If Jinyiwei is in a hurry, he can be accommodating when the officer is interrogating him and ask the adults to review the prisoner's testimony as soon as possible."
Fu Jin'an lowered his eyes slightly and chuckled: "Then I'll help Mr. Shen."
Shen Yuzhi said indifferently: "As long as you don't violate the rules, I will be happy to help the commander."
Fu Jin'an opened his eyelids and looked at him lightly, saying: "It's a good thing for Mr. Shen to be enthusiastic. I just hope you don't use it in the wrong place and take care of what you should take care of."
Look threatening.
Shen Yuzhi nodded: "Master Fu, please rest assured that anything related to the Shen family, not just the lower officials, but the entire Shen family will not stand idly by."
Tit for tat.
Fu Jin'an glanced at him again, left a message, "Master Shen, please take care of yourself," and walked away.
Shen Yuzhi looked at the departing figure in front of him, with a faint smile on his lips.
The champion house, Ningfuyuan.
The old lady sat expressionlessly on the Arhat couch above, seemingly not seeing the kneeling figure on the ground, and only lowered her head to sip the tea.
Luo Ruxue sat next to the old lady, with a glint in her eyes. She turned around and held the old lady's hand affectionately, saying softly: "Grandma, eldest sister has been kneeling for a long time. Don't be angry with her. Uncle yesterday Didn't I tell you that eldest sister was tired, so she didn't come to say hello to you. You see, eldest sister knows that you are thinking about her, and now isn't she here?"
After hearing this, the old lady's face became a little colder.
Luo Ran knelt on the ground. Although the ground cage had been set up in the room early, the fever was not strong because it was not yet the twelfth lunar month. After kneeling for a while, Luo Ran felt a cold air flow down his legs and spread all over his body.
When she returned to Beijing yesterday, she really wanted to pay her respects to her grandmother first, but she didn't know whether it was because she was tired or because she was still in confinement. She looked very bad and had no energy at all.
Luo Deyun insisted that she go back to rest, and he came to Ningfuyuan in person to say so.
Originally, the old lady didn't care because she was tired of traveling and traveling, but this morning she was made jealous by the Li family and her daughter, and Luo Ran was left with a reputation of being disrespectful and unfilial to her.
After hearing Luo Ruxue's words, the old lady felt even more displeased. She placed the cup on the kang table without hesitation, and said with a smile: "You still remember that you have this home, and you are willing to come back!"
Youqing was extremely anxious at the side. Luo Ran gave her a comforting look, moved her knees slightly, and whispered: "What grandma taught me is that it's all the granddaughter's fault. It's just that the cousin has official duties, and the granddaughter It’s really hard to force it.”
The old lady frowned slightly, as if she didn't believe it: "Isn't that kid just taking office? Where did he come from official duties?"
Luo Ran's eyes were slightly lowered, covering the look in her eyes. She explained vaguely according to what her cousin taught her before: "Ran'er doesn't know the specific matter. At that time, Ran'er was thinking about her grandmother and father and wanted to come back as soon as possible. She just expressed Brother said that the reason why the emperor could give him such a long leave was conditional. Ran'er saw that his cousin was busy all day long, so he didn't want to disturb him. "
The old lady thought about it in her mind. Although she didn't go out all the time, she also heard that Jin Yiwei seemed to be very busy in the past six months. Then she thought that after Shen Yuzhi came back, he didn't enter the Imperial Academy but went to Dali Temple. After thinking about it, everything That makes sense.
His face immediately softened, and he pointed at Xia Fang and said: "Look, my brain is not working well, and you are also confused. Why did Ran'er let her kneel for so long when she was tired from the journey! Go and help her up!"
Then he complained to Luo Ran: "You are the same kid. You keep everything in your heart. How can I know if you don't tell me?"
"Thanks."
Luo Ran thanked Xia He softly, stood up with her hand, and said with a smile: "It is true that my granddaughter was not thinking well. If I had known that my cousin would be busy for so long, I would not have followed him on this trip. I haven’t seen my grandma for a long time, so I should show some filial piety.”
The old lady nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, just come back. Your father's big day will be next month. It just so happens that you can help me during this time to see if there is anything left behind."
"yes."
Luo Ran obediently agreed.
Seeing this, Mrs. Li's eyes flashed, and she asked with a smile as if by accident: "Ranran just said that Yuzhi's child is also coming back, why didn't you see him come to the house?"
Luo Ran glanced at the second aunt, wondering what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd, but heard the third aunt Cao on the side said: "Didn't Ranran just say that Mr. Shen is busy with official duties, unlike some people?" , doing nothing all day long.”
Luo Ran glanced at Mr. Cao unexpectedly.
Although this third aunt did not take the initiative to harm her in her previous life, she followed the second wife and stood by.
But for some reason, he actually spoke for her today.
And the person Cao mentioned just now was Li's nephew Li Yutang.
Luo Ran didn't know what happened in the house recently, so he simply pretended not to hear it. He didn't know the reason until he returned to the yard and asked Chun Yu.
It turned out that the third uncle Luo Decheng had recently found an official position as the chief registrar of Dali Temple. Although it was only a small rank of seventh rank, it was not easy for him.
As for Li Yutang, according to Chun Yu, "I once saw Mr. Li secretly ordering someone to deliver something to the second lady!"
"Luo Ruxue?"
Luo Ran was really surprised.
Chun Yu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, with bright eyes: "I heard that the Duke of Jingguo is planning an engagement for the Crown Prince. We have almost met each other. The second lady was throwing a tantrum in the room a few days ago!"
Luo Ran didn't know what they wanted to do, so he asked: "You have been keeping an eye on that place recently. Don't make any jokes before my father gets married."
Spring Rain responded: "Yes, I understand!"
In the evening, when Luo Deyun came back from duty, Luo Ran asked about her third uncle and told her what her third aunt had said for her today.
Luo Dewen had no expression on his face and nodded to show that he understood.
Luo Ran thought about it for a moment, and then he understood a little bit, and said, "Dad gave Third Uncle a position because of me?"
