Chapter 1489 Mother's Heart (1)

The exam is for every three days. After the exam, you can go home and rest for one night, and then go back to continue the exam.

When Jiang Fangfei went to pick up someone, Qingshu reminded An An: "When Jingye comes back later, you must not ask him how he is doing in the exam and not allow him to read. Let him go to rest after dinner."

"good."

Qingshu is experienced in this regard, and An An listens to her.

In the evening, the five candidates came back and took a hot shower to get tired, then after eating delicious food, they all went back to the house to sleep. The next day, Mengmengliang, the five people set off to the examination room again, and this time Qingshu did not send it to him.

An An came to the main yard after breakfast in her own yard. When she saw Qingshu, she smiled and said, "Sister, Jingye said he did a good job in the first exam."

Afraid of being scolded by Qingshu, An An explained: "Sister, I didn't ask if it was Jingye himself."

With these words, she felt much more at ease.

Qingshu did not interfere with this, and she told An An another thing: "Today is the day when Cui is escorted out of Beijing. Do you want to send her a trip?"

An An touched her stomach and said, "Sister, we'd better not go. It would be bad if that woman hurts us madly."

Qingshu smiled and said, "I'm not going to go, I just asked what you mean."

It is also known that An An pays great attention to her reputation, so she asked this question.

If An An was not pregnant, she would definitely go and send her off for a while and ridicule her. However, now people who are pregnant with dangers should avoid contact.

The two were chatting and saw Chuntao coming in with an invitation.

An An was surprised and asked, "My?"

After reading the post, I realized that it was Yu Qing’s visit. An An was a little puzzled.

"What's wrong?"

An An gave Qingshu a reply and said, "Yu Qing knows that Jingye and I are living in your house now. I'm afraid there will be something wrong when I hand over the reply."

And this matter is not small, otherwise I would not have come to see her at this time.

Qingshu did not answer the message, but asked: "Does there be relatives in her family working in Guangxi?"

An An was a little surprised: "Sister, why did you ask like this?"

"So there is nothing?"

An An hurriedly said, "Yes, her uncle works in Yulin, Guangxi. Sister, don't you think she came for her uncle, right?"

If this happens, Yu Qing will not come to visit her, but to come for her sister.

As she guessed, Qingshu said: "The officials and officials of Guangxi covered each other and committed numerous crimes. Prince Song had already verified their crimes. The emperor had issued an imperial edict to escort the officials who committed serious crimes back to Beijing, such as the governor and the prefect of Greentown, who committed serious crimes."

An An was shocked. The officials in Guangxi were taken down in one fell swoop. What a big deal!

Qingshu smiled and said, "This matter is now discussed on the streets and alleys. You have not paid attention to the matter of worrying about the examination of the scriptures and karma all day long."

"I originally thought it was just a case of my father, but I didn't expect it to be implicated in the entire Guangxi officialdom." Seeing Qingshu's expression as usual, she couldn't help but ask: "Sister, did you know that this case was not simple?"

Qingshu nodded and said, "Dad is just a sixth-rank official. How can I work for the imperial envoy to thoroughly investigate his case? From the very beginning, I knew this was not simple."

An An blurted out: "Sister, why didn't you tell me at that time?"

As soon as she said this, she knew that she had been stupid. How could she tell her such a confidential matter?

Qingshu and An An were preparing lunch in the morning, but Butler Kong came over to report to Qingshu and replied: "Madam, there is a woman who claims to be a purple hairpin and says she wants to see you."

An An felt a little strange and asked, "Zichai? Didn't he just say the name but he didn't say which one it?"

Butler Kong said, "By the wife, this Zichai is a second-class maid next to Cui. She said there is something important to hand over to his wife."

When An An heard this, she changed her face: "Phone her out."

Qingshu shook his head and said, "Let her come in!"

An An was anxious when he heard this and said, "Sister, what did you think of that woman's maid? She would definitely have bad intentions when she gave you something."

Qingshu said, "We can know what medicine is sold in Cui's gourd when we see him. If we don't see him, who knows what Cui's left behind?"

After all, there are still a few loyal maids around Cui.

An An is ten thousand people who are unwilling to see Cui, but Qingshu insists that she can't do anything.

Zichai came in soon. She felt obedient and walked over the steps and knelt down. She kowtowed and said, "I have seen the eldest girl and the second girl."

An An said calmly: "What is that woman asking you to give me sister?"

Zichai took out a roll of things from her arms, and the thing was wrapped in oil paper: "Big girl, second girl, here is a silver note of five thousand taels..."

Before she could finish her words, An An said with a dark face: "Sister, Cui really has bad intentions and wants to give you the stolen money. If you want your brother-in-law's political opponent to know, it is equivalent to giving the other party a handle."

Qingshu held his forehead and said, "You ask her to make a judgment after finishing her words."

Cui was not crazy about gaining and losing money, so how could he give her the stolen money?

Zichai quickly said after getting Qingshu's words: "This is not the stolen money, it is the money my wife sold the shop on Dongzheng Street. If the girl doesn't believe it, she can send someone to investigate."

Qingshu frowned and said, "The shop on Dongzheng Street is worth at least 20,000 taels of silver, why is it only sold for 5,000 taels of silver?"

Cui had two shops on Dongzheng Street. These two shops were said to be dowry by the deceased Mrs. Zhongyong Hou. Later, Cui gave one of them to Du Shiya, and the other was left to Lin Boyuan. Du Shiya told her about this.

When Zichai heard this, her eyes turned red instantly, and she swallowed even more: "The shop is indeed worth more than 20,000 taels of silver. Who would have thought that the other party would be desperate to take action and suppress the price. My wife could only sell it at a low price."

An An was stunned and couldn't help but ask, "Who bought it?"

Zichai shook her head and said, "I don't know, this matter is done by the manager. I must have been a lot of greed for the manager, but the Cui family didn't care about the poor health at that time, and there was no way to pursue the matter."

After hearing this, An An couldn't help but ask: "Why did you only sell this shop and not other industries?"

Zichai didn't dare to hide it from the two of them, and said, "Mrs. He said that if he confiscated all the dowry, he would not be able to reduce the punishment. In addition, there was too much money, and the young master could not keep it."

Lin Boyuan was slow to react and was very slow to accept external affairs. In this way, if no one was in charge of him, he would not be able to hold five thousand taels of silver.

Qingshu held the silver notes with Zichai in both hands and asked lightly: "Why don't you send this money to the people of the Cui family for safekeeping?"

Speaking of the Cui family, Zichai showed hatred on her face: "After the wife sold the shop, the prince's wife came to ask her to give the land shop to them for temporary storage. After the matter was over, they would return these industries to their wife."
