Chapter Lu: Seeing the Dead
Shunyu is very familiar with this ink jade ring.
On the day her eldest brother Tian Shunji was captured by Tanhua and entered the Hanlin Academy to edit the editor, his father gave this heirloom treasure to his elder brother to wear it. He scolded him in the officialdom and must quit drinking and sex, be virtuous, be gentle in nature, and be upright in character.
Later, she often pestered her elder brother to take off her ring and play with her. Once she accidentally fell down and knocked off a piece of the edge of the jade ring. In order to cover it up, the elder brother went to find a master who was good at carving. The repair was very clever. Although outsiders could not see spider silk, they could not hide it from her.
She closed her eyes and opened it again, her expression as usual.
"Hai Ye's jade ring looks rare, and it must be either a family tradition or a gift from the emperor." Shun Yu said.
Zhou Hai was rushing his heart on Xiao Yugong. After hearing the question, he didn't raise his eyes, and only said "yes" from his breath.
Wei Xun laughed and continued: "I don't care about you now. I've eaten this cup of wine with my brother. I'll tell you."
It was gloomy outside the window, and there was no light in the hall. Shunyu sat in the backlight, making her face look hard, but he had seen his true face by the door just now, but he was still better than the little actor.
He felt a little coveted and said frivolously. He handed over a small bell wine glass and took the boy with a good look, giving Shunyu a smile to his lips.
Qin Yanhong was in love with these people all day long, and immediately saw through Wei Xun's thoughts. As Qin Zhong just explained, he was about to spend time with Shunyu, but he saw that he was just holding the boy's hand and drank it all in one go.
Wei Xun clapped his hands, moved his seat with the boy, sat next to Shunyu, ordered the maid to light the candle, and then leaned closer to the mysterious and said, "Have you heard that five years ago, Tian Qihui, the Minister of Works, was executed in the whole family?"
"This is a big case. My father is also a clerk. Although I am far away in Suzhou, I have heard of it." Shunyu thought about it and answered calmly.
Wei Xun whispered to Zhou Hai and said in a low voice: "It was his father who brought the Jinyiwei to handle this case personally, and the jade ring got it from it. His family had taken a lot of good items privately."
"What's that!" Wang Yanzan was half drunk and interrupted: "I heard from my father that Zhou Hai and his son had done something unethical to him that day, and ruined the fifth girl of the Tian family. The girl was so harsh and suddenly fell to the pillar and died. Later, he heard the Jinyiwei who was present that day. He was so beautiful, with a big hole in his skull, and blood splattered on the bed, which was so terrifying."
Shunyu suddenly felt a thousand arrows passing by. She wanted to take the teacup in front of her to eat, but her hands couldn't stop trembling.
Wei Xun pointed at Zhou Hai and laughed: "He was scared of epilepsy, but it was retribution!"
"It's been five years, and you're still gossiping like women." Zhou Hai glared at him, blushing and thick-necked in his neck: "The Tian family is always going to die anyway. Do you care about her way of dying! When you hear someone you see, you will tell me, and you will be arrested and punished."
These officials and children are always ranked according to their seniority according to their official positions. After hearing Zhou Hai's words, Wang Yanzan shut up, but Wei Xun was not afraid of him and said coldly: "I dare not admit it, but I am not allowed to say it to others? Do you want someone to catch me?"
Wei Xun's sister was named Concubine Xiande a few days ago. When the emperor was in a strong position, who could do what he could do!
Zhou Hai fell down his face and gritted his teeth to eat wine. Even Xiaoyugong was too lazy to coax him.
Qin Yanhong hurriedly smiled and smoothed out the situation: "It's the fifteenth day now. It's a good festive day. It's a bad thing to say these bad words. It's just that the fifth girl of the Tian family is so beautiful that it makes people unable to control her. If she is ugly, wouldn't she be fine?"
"You can tell such a fallacy." Wei Xun sighed with his forehead and Zhou Hai smiled. Seeing that their expressions were eased, everyone was making jokes, so they just let the matter go through perfunctory things.
At the age of time, Qin Yanhong left the seat and got out. After finishing his work, he didn't take a few steps, but saw Shunyu and others in the corridor. He was stunned and asked, "Do you want to get rid of me? Go ahead."
"Cousin, can you tell me a love?" Shunyu bowed to him and said bluntly.
Qin Yanhong smiled and said, "You said that, why bother so solemnly! Or if I am not here, who have you offended?"
Shunyu shook his head: "I just saw the black jade ring on Hai Ye's finger. I have never seen such a good thing before. I feel very twitched. If my cousin can tell Master Hai Ye, lend me the ring to play for a few days, if you want me to do anything, you have no choice."
Qin Yanhong despised him for coveting other people's things, but actually lost his face. Suddenly his eyes turned, and he pulled his sleeve and said intimately: "Hai Ye's family has many rare treasures. A mere jade ring is not in his eyes. Besides, it's just a few days to play. What's the problem? I'll help you find it! But..." He changed his tone: "It's just that after the festival, the teacher of the tribe's doctrine school started classes. That old scholar had a weird temper. I'm afraid he would check my homework at that time. How about you help me make eight-legged essays? The topic is the sentence in the Four Books: "Mencius. Li Lou Shang" says, "If you don't follow the rules, you can't make a square or round."
Shun Yu originally wanted him to ask Titu for absurd conditions, but it turned out to be a silence. When he relaxed, he finally smiled faintly: "A word is determined."
Qin Yanhong also smiled and reached out to her: "You give me the purse that Sister Qing gave me, it will be of great use."
Shunyu took it out of her sleeve and handed it to him.
The two of them returned to their seats again. The man had already left the table. It turned out that they had opened a table in the next round, and they had to gamble with cards and dices.
Yu Guaner changed her outfit and sang "The West Chamber" on the stage. The rest continued to eat tea and wine and listen to the opera, and Zhou Hai was also there.
Qin Yanhong leaned over to Zhou Hai and muttered for a while, but when he saw Zhou Hai taking the purse in surprise, he looked at Shunyu in a funny way, and was inexplicably stunned.
He had never lit the lamp before, but was fascinated by the first-time jade servant. The maid lit the sheep horn lamp in the circle of pilasters, and took several gold-painted gauze lamps hanging on the center of the table, placing them like big candles, and then covered them with tassels, which turned out to be as bright as daytime.
The boy sitting opposite the blue cloth was like a person in the painting, with white skin. After drinking wine, his cheekbones were light red and his eyes were shimmering. He looked at him. I wonder if he was imagining, but he actually looked like a pretty look with a shy look.
Zhou Hai was originally traveling around the world, but now he saw something better. In an instant, he returned the jade servant who was so in love with him. Then he suddenly withered in his heart like the flowers yesterday.
He happily took off the black jade ring from his thumb, handed it to Qin Yanhong, and whispered: "You tell him, I think he likes it very much. If you want to commit yourself to me, don't say that you can borrow this ring from him for a few days, and you won't even give it to him."
Qin Yanhong agreed with a smile, and then said a few more words before turning back to Shunyu, giving her Mo Yu a finger, and bringing Zhou Hai's words together.
Shunyu looked up and saw Zhou Hai's eyes showing lewdness. He looked up and down, feeling disgusted and hated in his heart.
"During Mingshen, you sent a servant to Xuanjiyuan, and I will give him an article in the west wing."
Leaving a short sentence, she clenched the smooth and thick object in her palm, pushed the cloud-patterned chair back, and said goodbye to her first.
When I walked to the door of the hall, the maid raised the curtain and it was already dusk outside.
