For others, one thousand taels of gold is a bit scary.
The annual salary of officials at all levels of the dynasty was based on silver. Gold was scarce and valuable. One tael of gold could be exchanged for one hundred taels of silver. One thousand taels of silver was enough to feed a family of three for hundreds of years. This one thousand taels Gold is one hundred thousand taels of silver, which is really an astronomical sum.
When this heavy box of gold was placed in front of Liu Wen and Liu Ruyi, they were stunned for an instant. It was so spectacular.
People die for money, and birds die for food. Some people work hard all their lives just to have a mouthful of food. Money is the most powerful thing that guarantees life. No matter who the immortals are, they will always look at money slightly differently.
The two of them looked at the gold in front of them and didn't know what to say. In fact, Liu Wen and Liu Ruyi were very worried before and directly reported it to the Ministry of Punishment to force the King of Peking. After all, it was a very dangerous thing.
If the King of Peiping was devoted to protecting Long Yun, the couple might not be able to see the sun tomorrow, but in fact, the anger in their hearts could not be calmed down, forcing them to embark on this dangerous road.
If the entire Qi Dynasty wanted to move the King of Peking, the emperor would probably have to think about the consequences, not to mention that Liu Wen was just an ordinary examiner in the Literary Classics Examination.
"Madam, what do you want to do with the money?"
Although Liu Ruyi is as beautiful as a flower, she is an ordinary woman after all. She has never seen so much money in her life, and she doesn't know what to do.
Seeing that his wife had not spoken for a long time, Liu Wen knew that she was probably the same as him.
Liu Wen is a scholar. Although he was impulsive before, he calmed down after seeing so much money.
Not only did the King of Peking not cause trouble for him, but he sent him a thousand taels of gold, which showed that he was not just protecting Long Yun. I'm afraid it would be impossible for Long Yun to go to jail for this matter, let alone the wife of the King of Peiping. Ruyi would definitely not agree, she loved her son very much.
In the past, Long Yun had committed many crimes, but only after Yan Ruyi begged for mercy was he able to be pacified. It seems that Long Yu does not have a good impression of Long Yun. This rumor is true. What should we do next?
If Long Yu tried his best to protect Long Yun, the humiliation of the couple would not be repaid, and the two of them would have lost a bit of face to the Long family. Although they could not cause real harm, they would still be worthy of the righteousness of heaven and earth. This is what scholars should do. integrity.
But Liu Wen knew what the three words "King of Peking" represented in the Qi Dynasty. On that day, the three highest civil officials in the court questioned Long Yu, but in the end they still let it go. What's more, he was just an examiner. How can he compete with the King of Peking if he has no official position yet? What we are doing now is like mantis trying to trick a chariot.
But Long Yu not only sent a thousand taels of gold, but also apologized in person. This was simply a dream in the eyes of a commoner.
Liu Wen sat on the chair and thought over and over. Liu Ruyi next to him was also thinking about how to reply to the Long family.
After a long time, Liu Wen sighed: "Madam, this matter..."
Liu Wen glanced at his wife and didn't finish speaking, feeling a little ashamed.
Liu Ruyi said tenderly: "I know my husband's feelings, let's just forget about it. No wonder Master Long is like this. What can my only son do? But I feel sorry for my husband and I can't protect myself like a jade for my husband!"
Liu Wen hugged Ruyi tightly and said guiltily: "This incident is our disaster. From now on, the two of us will grow old hand in hand, and no one can stop us anymore!"
Liu Wen secretly thought that he couldn't just let it go, he needed a promise from the King of Peking.
The two people originally lived a very sweet life, but because of Long Yun's corruption, it cast a great shadow and caused great fluctuations in their lives in the future.
But Liu Wen was able to think further and more steadily. A smart person will not be hurt by the same thing twice. Dragons and phoenixes appear in ancient literature, and all sages in the world are bachelors.
This bachelor is very sophisticated.
On the second day in the evening, Long Yu and Yan Ruyi came to Liu Wen's residence with two guards in a light carriage.
"See Your Majesty the King of Peiping!" Liu Wen and his wife knelt down and said.
Although the fault lies with the Long family, etiquette is indispensable.
But Long Yu was very embarrassed and even asked people to salute, which made her even more guilty.
He hurriedly helped the two of them up and said with an embarrassed smile: "I'm really sorry for you two, my spoiled son has done such an unconscionable thing, I really can't help it!"
Long Yu was originally a man in the world of martial arts. He was fine with killing people, but trying to persuade others to atone for their sins could cost him his life.
Yan Ruyi casually took Liu Ruyi's hand and said softly: "It's his fault that my child hurt you, but after all, he is still a child under nineteen years old. I have been such a child in my life, you say If something happens to him, how will I live my life in the future?"
As he spoke, Yan Ruyi actually started to cry slightly. Firstly, he was begging for mercy, and secondly, he was really worried about Long Yun's future life.
She had always been worried about Long Yun in her heart. Although she often protected him, at that time because she loved this child so much, Yan Ruyi couldn't bear to see him get hurt.
"Little girl, I beg you two adults to be noble and let Long Yun go!"
As he spoke, Yan Ruyi knelt down to the two of them.
How could this happen? Liu Wen hurriedly helped Yan Ruyi. If he really knelt down, he would probably have trouble sleeping and eating in the future.
Long Yu didn't expect that Yan Ruyi would be like this. She was three points apologetic on her face and seven points in her heart.
Along with Liu Wen, Long Yu helped his wife up, and the four of them sat on the seats in the living room.
"Actually, I've always known that this kid is so daring and has done a lot of outrageous things, but who's parents don't want their children to be safe? I'm just such a kid in my life, and I don't want him to be rich or famous. , no matter how high his martial arts skills are, I just hope that I can see him get married and have children, and that is enough for him to live a peaceful life."
Yan Ruyi choked up even more when she said this.
"Ahem" cleared his throat, and Yan Ruyi continued: "So I didn't let him practice martial arts, nor did I let him practice essays, nor would I force him to do anything he didn't want to do, and I will never allow him to do it in the future. It’s good to be an official in the court and remain ordinary like this!”
"Maybe he was too pampered when he was a child, and somehow he became like this now. He was not like this before. Alas, please forgive him this time for the sake of my mother!"
Yan Ruyi was actually heartbroken by what happened to Long Yun, and she had been forcing a smile recently.
Seeing his wife's haggard look, Long Yu wanted to say something for a moment, but he clenched his fist and held back.
What was 100% guilt just now is now 20%.
Liu Wen was also a little confused. He didn't use any of the words he had prepared before. Who would have thought that the dignified couple Wang Peiping and his wife would actually talk like this, no different from ordinary civilians.
For a time, a lot of resentment had dissipated.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Yan Ruyi was worried and feared that she would not forgive Long Yun, so she quickly said: "If you two need anything, just ask. As long as Long Yu and I can do it, we will do our best. If If one thousand taels of gold is not enough, we can send another one thousand taels!"
"No, no, I'm afraid we won't be able to spend all this thousand taels in our lifetime!"
Liu Wen quickly said: "That's it for today, I won't embarrass you two. After all, it was Long Yunchuang who caused the disaster. It's just pity for the parents in the world. We can forget about this matter!"
When Yan Ruyi heard this, she smiled, touched the tears in her eyes and said, "Really?"
Liu Wen waved his hand and said: "You can forgive him, or you can withdraw the petition immediately. I just hope that Mr. King of Peking can promise us something!"
When Long Yu saw Liu Wen agreeing so readily, he thought something bad would happen. He hesitated, and Yan Ruyi waved his hand and gave him a rib, saying: "Okay, no problem, as long as Long Yu can If you can do it, I will definitely let him help you do it!"
Long Yu saw his wife glaring at him, not daring to speak, and nodded.
Liu Wen saw that Long Yu nodded in agreement, and then slowly said: "Although my wife is not the most beautiful woman in the country, she is still very beautiful. Long Yun is not the only one who has ideas about my wife in Wushuang City. I only hope that Lord Long Yu will protect us in the future." How about a family, just in case someone hurts my wife again?”
Yan Ruyi heard it was so simple. Just when he was about to answer, he heard Long Yu say: "No problem, as it is, you will live in my palace from now on. I have already beaten that boy Long Yun, so I don't dare to stay here." Disrespectful to your wife!”
Liu Ruyi didn't know that her husband was still thinking about her future, and she felt even more emotional.
There seems to be something wrong with just living in the palace. After all, this happened because of Long Yun, and now living so close to him, Liu Ruyi is a little worried.
Long Yu: "You don't have to worry. If this guy Long Yu dares to touch Mrs. Liu again, I will break his legs. I will do what I say. Besides, my family is relatively big, so I don't have to worry about running into each other when I go in and out. In this way, who will?" If you dare to have any ideas for you again, I will be the first to disagree!"
Liu Wen thought for a while and said: "Well, from now on, I will ask Lord Long to protect us and my husband, and let this be done!"
Seeing that the matter in front of him was successfully resolved, Yan Ruyi was greatly relieved, and a big stone finally fell to the ground.
After the four people discussed it, Long Yu and Yan Ruyi took their servants back to their house to arrange a place for Liu Wen and his wife, and the couple also started to pack up the house and prepare to move.
In this way, a rape case was reduced to a minor matter, and nothing unexpected happened. Surprisingly, Liu Wen and his wife moved to the palace to live, and even received the protection of the King of Peking.
Many people lamented that this couple was a blessing in disguise. They no longer have to worry about life, which is considered compensation!
On the other hand, Liu Wen's worries are also correct. There are indeed many officials who are plotting Liu Ruyi's ideas. This time it is completely out of the question, and he will not even dare to think about it in the future.
After returning home, Yan Ruyi pulled Long Yun to her side and told him: "Yun'er, your father and I have convinced Liu Wen and his wife, and they have decided to revoke your petition. From now on, you must behave yourself and don't act recklessly." ”
"I got it, mother!" Long Yun always looked like a child in front of Yan Ruyi.
"By the way, in order to protect Liu Wen and his wife from now on, we will let them live at home. Don't provoke them!"
"What! Mother! Liu Ruyi wants to live in our house! Isn't this...!"
Long Yun was extremely excited. Living together would have great opportunities in the future.
At this time, Long Yu happened to come in and heard Long Yun's words.
He went up and kicked Long Yun directly into the corner.
He said angrily: "I have already promised you, and your mother has also agreed. If you are hurting others, I will break your legs immediately and will never regret it. If they sue you again, you will go directly to the Ministry of Punishment." Explain it to Chu Wen!”
After coughing twice, Long Yun stood up tremblingly, not daring to resist, and whispered: "I know, dad!"
Yan Ruyi glared at Long Yu and hurriedly stepped forward to check if Long Yun had injured any muscles or bones.
Long Yu didn't even look at Long Yun and continued: "From tomorrow on, you will be facing the wall in the hut and not allowed to leave for seven days. Reflect on your actions."
There is a special small room in the Prince's Palace of Peking. There is no window and chimney. Except for a door, there are completely black walls on all sides. Every time Long Yun makes a mistake, he will be locked in for a few days to reflect. There is no candlelight in the small dark room. There are no lights and no beds and chairs, so it is uncomfortable to stay there for one day, let alone seven days.
Long Yun was very reluctant, but he didn't dare to resist his father. He hurriedly tugged on his mother's sleeves and said, "Mom...!"
Yan Ruyi waved his hand, indicating that he was helpless.
Long Yun looked helpless and uncomfortable.
Long Yun has never regretted anything he has done. The small black room is only a temporary punishment for him, and everything will pass.
………………
In the eyes of outsiders, everything is like this. A dandy once again escapes the blame after doing whatever he wants. However, everything in the world is unreal and real. Many things may not necessarily be true even if they actually happen in front of you.
In the eyes of the housekeeper of Long Mansion, and in the eyes of the servants of Long Mansion, everything is real, real things and real feelings.
Long Yu's anger towards Long Yun.
Yan Ruyi's love and intolerance for her son.
Liu Wen was full of resentment.
Liu Ruyi's pain.
Who is real? Who is virtual?
But it is one part true and three parts false.
