Chapter 231 Sour
Xiao Qian's desk was filled with official documents, and Lu Zhaonan also helped to deal with it. He couldn't help but complain: "Originally, there were enough trivial matters in the yamen, but now there are more affairs from the Medical Department. I said, "You might as well invite a teacher and let him handle these chores for you."
"Stop talking nonsense, read it quickly, there are more important things to do." Xiao Qian said.
Lu Zhaonan complained: "What else is important? Let me tell you that I have been dizzy when reading official documents these days, and I have to go to the quarantine station outside the city every day. I have overdrawn my energy and can't do anything anymore. Don't count on me."
Xiao Qian raised his eyes: "Jing Yuan inherited the title of Marquis of Ding'an. The imperial edict came to Marquis of Ding'an today. Don't you go and congratulate me? That's fine. I'll say you're busy at that time."
"Wait... Jing Yuan inherited the title? Didn't he say he had to wait for the twentieth crown to inherit it?" Lu Zhaonan was surprised.
Xiao Qian said, "It is not just a matter of the father's words when he inherits early and later."
In fact, the father thought Yan Yan had made great contributions and could not be rewarded well, but Yan Yan was already the princess, so he gave the reward to Jing Yuan.
Lu Zhaonan was intrigued: "No matter what, this is a great joy. Congratulations alone, and you must celebrate it well."
"So, hurry up and work."
"Okay! You said it earlier. I'll be more motivated. Maybe I'll finish it now." Lu Zhaonan smiled.
Guan Sheng brought Feng Hua to find Xiao Qian.
"Sir, Miss Feng is here."
Xiao Qian put down Duke Wen in his hand.
Feng Hua took out the portrait drawn by the lady and gave it to Xiao Qian: "Your Highness, the lady didn't say anything before. Chunlan was infected with smallpox because someone deliberately spread it. She left a silk handkerchief dyed with smallpox and acne paste on the seat. Now the lady has painted the portrait of this person, please help find this person."
"According to Chunlan's description, this woman is likely to make a living in Huajie Liuxiang."
Lu Zhaonan leaned over and took a look: "It's pretty good!"
Xiao Qian glanced at him and called Guan Sheng: "Guan Sheng, take the portrait and take a few brothers to the Huajie Liuxiang in the capital, and you must find the people."
Guan Sheng took the portrait and took a look.
“Huh?”
Xiao Qian raised his eyebrows slightly: "What? Do you know each other?"
Guan Sheng stumbled and said, "This man looks familiar, and he thinks about it."
Guan Sheng looked left and right, and suddenly slapped his forehead: "I remembered that this person is the girl Haitang who is drunk in the red building. There is a black mole on his ear, so I can't make any mistakes."
Lu Zhaonan couldn't help laughing and teased: "Guan Sheng, you can do it. You know the girls in Huajie Liuxiang. You even pay attention to the black mole."
Guan Sheng blushed: "It's just a coincidence. This girl Haitang and her ex-Dianli... Oh, you know, someone made trouble in Zuihonglou last year, and the former Dianli asked the young man to take someone to deal with it. The young man had no other skills, but he recognized someone... He had met and spoke, and the young man would definitely remember it."
"Let's go to the Red Mansion." Xiao Qian stood up.
"Hey, Xiao Qian, we still have to read the official documents." Lu Zhaonan protested.
Xiao Qian said: "I have to leave the official documents to you, I have to go and see this in person."
You dare to fight against the evil moves downstairs of Tongyuan, you are tired of living!
"Hey... Xiao Qian, Lord Xiao, I can't finish watching it alone..."
Xiao Qian had already taken Guan Sheng and Feng Hua away.
Lu Zhaonan was disappointed. Xiao Qian was very nervous whenever something was related to Yan Yan. Hey... His good friend, he can only stand aside!
When I arrived at Zuihonglou, I found out that Miss Haitang had left Zuihonglou more than a month ago.
"Then do you know where she is?" Xiao Qian asked the madam.
The madam said, "She redeemed herself and left with a scholar. This dead girl actually saved so much private money secretly. But she should still be in the capital. The scholar is here to take the exam. Isn't this because of the epidemic, the autumn examination has been postponed!"
"What's the scholar?"
The madam thought for a while: "I don't know what the name is, but I heard Haitang call him Mr. Lu, who is in his early twenties and is quite handsome."
"Where are people?"
"How could I know about this? I heard the accent of it looks like it is from the south."
The group came out of Zuihonglou and Feng Hua said, "I seriously suspect that the money Haitang redeemed was the reward for her to cause the same origin."
Xiao Qian's mouth slanted, needless to say?
"Sir, what should I do now? Because of the epidemic, the scholars who came to Beijing to take the exam have not been registered yet, and they can't check the roster." Guan Shengdao.
Xiao Qian said: "Don't go to the Ministry of Rites to check the roster."
"Due to the epidemic, Shuntian Mansion House touched all the population in the capital, especially those who came from abroad, left and returned to the yamen."
Xiao Qian returned to the yamen and called all the six-bedroom people to the house: "You guys don't need to do anything else from now on. Check me out all the scholars who are from the age of twenty to thirty."
The Ding'an Hou Mansion was filled with joy. The old lady read the imperial edict over and over again, and was so happy that she couldn't stop.
"I didn't expect that I didn't expect that we, Jing Yuan, are already the marquis."
Lin Zhongkun felt sour, but said, "Our grand dynasty is usually the first year and the twentieth crown to inherit the title. It is unique like Jing Yuan, and it can only be said that the emperor's grace is vast."
Lin Jingyuan scratched his head embarrassedly: "I'm benefiting from my sister."
The old lady smiled and said, "Yan Yan, it is our lucky star."
Lin Zhongkun felt even more sad. What is our blessing star? Have you been benefiting from Yan Yan's fortune? You know that you would ask for rewards for her younger brother, but you would not want to get anyone else. If Yan Yan is a general person, he would say a few good words to his second uncle in front of the emperor, and he might be promoted.
Now, I am glorious alone in a big room.
"No? Since Yan Yan made Xiao, he has been smooth sailing all the way. He was first named the King of the Township and the Princess. Now even Jing Yuan has become the Marquis. Jing Yuan, from now on, you will be the Marquis. You have to show the style of the Marquis." Zhou said happily.
She was happy when the eldest son was proud of her.
Lin Shuqi joked: "Jing Yuan, you will have to protect your uncle in the future."
"Uncle, what are you talking about? They are all family." Lin Jingyuan was still a little uncomfortable. He felt that with the hat of the Marquis, everyone looked at him differently. He used to treat him as a child.
Outside the house, Lin Zhenzhen said depressedly: "Why do some people have good luck and can get things that we can't get even if we work hard."
Think about the eldest brother and second brother. I have studied hard for so many years just to get a gold list one day, but so what? Even if I get a gold list, I can only start from the bottom of the official rank.
Lin Jingwen was in a gloomy mood. He knew that Jing Yuan would inherit the title sooner or later, but he always believed that it was considered capable by relying on his own efforts. But today, when the imperial edict came, he was still hit. Zhenzhen was right. Jing Yuan had a good life and there were too many injustice in this world.
