Chapter 147 An old case

Happing to the young lady, Huaping regained his laziness and said casually, "What do you know, a young lady?"

Su Ruojin chuckled, "I don't understand, but I think Shopkeeper Ye is so beautiful. I wish I were a man."

Huaping frowned: "How about you being a man?"

“Chase!”

Hua Ping looked at the sky speechlessly and said angrily, "I can't go back yet."

Su Ruojin looked towards Dongshan Academy halfway up the mountain, "I still want to see my brother!"

Mao Ya couldn't help but remind her: "Little madam, we just watched it two days ago. I'm afraid I'm still in class right now..." Don't bother me.

She was hesitant to go up because her brother was in class.

“Then you won’t go see your brother?”

Hua Ping was speechless again: "How can you let your brother study with peace of mind when you only work for three days?"

Su Ruojin:…

Since he was not going to see his brother, Su Ruojin brought Su Yanli and Su Sanlang some pens, inks, paper and inkstones and headed back home. Before leaving, he went to the breakfast shop to say hello to Ye Huaizhen and Shi Er.

“If there is any problem that cannot be solved, just ask someone to send it to me.”

Ye Huaizhen didn't treat her like a little lady, and nodded sincerely, "Okay." He bowed his hands to them who were about to leave, "Then Huaizhen won't send the little lady away, so be careful along the way."

Su Ruojin smiled. When he turned around, he glanced at Huaping, who was deep in thought, and his eyebrows flew slightly.

Hua Ping pretended not to see it and turned around as usual.

Along the way, Su Ruojin couldn't help but lift the small curtain of the carriage and chatted with Hua Ping, who was driving the mule cart, "Uncle Hua, Shopkeeper Ye is very attractive to you, isn't it?"

Huaping just drove and ignored him.

“Shopkeeper Ye is really a dashing beauty. Go ahead and chase her. I’ll create opportunities for you.”

Huaping:…

If he doesn't say anything, his next sentence will probably be: You two should get married as soon as possible!

"flower…"

“Shut up!”

Su Ruojin:…

“You don’t know anything, you’re supposed to be married, but you’re just playing house with the kids in the alley?”

Ah, didn’t it fall in love at first sight? Don’t want to find out?

Su Ruojin thought to herself, could it be that she had misunderstood? In fact, shopkeeper Ye might be the target of Uncle Hua's secret investigation? She suddenly became ill, and all her beautiful thoughts were gone.

“Uncle Hua, no way!”

“Don’t disturb me while I’m driving anymore.” Huaping snorted coldly. What a little brat, what a cute glutinous rice dumpling. It seems that it’s very annoying now, so he’d better not give birth.

As soon as Su Ruojin was sent home, Hua Ping slipped away and went straight into the secret courtyard. When he saw Mr. Shen, he asked, "Siping sent a shopkeeper to the Su family, do you know?"

“Now you know, what’s wrong?”

Huaping has been speechless all day, "Co-authored, you don't know?"

Mr. Shen said, "Siping is in charge of the affairs of the small county prince. He is dealing with the private affairs of the small county prince. Why do you want me to know? You just tell me what's going on?"

“Today, I saw the little lady from the Ye family.”

“Ye family?”

Ten years ago, there was a man named Ye in the capital. He was falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy. After being sentenced, he bumped his head to death at the gate of the Dali Temple when he was escorted out of the Dali Temple to prove his innocence. This incident was very sensational at the time, and almost everyone in the capital knew about it.

Mr. Shen suddenly remembered, "Ye Quan's daughter Ye Huaizhen?"

Huaping nodded. Mr. Shen was thoughtful and suddenly asked, "When did you meet Ye Quan's daughter?"

Hua Ping: "She was sent to the priest's office. I met people from Dali Temple at the door who escorted her in."

“That was ten years ago, and you still remember it?”

Huaping was fifteen years old that year and was learning various skills in the Forbidden Army. Occasionally, when he went out on vacation, he was dragged by his companions to the Jiaofangsi to see the beauties. At that time, a group of convicted official ladies were being imprisoned in the Jiaofang. Why is it recorded? Ye Huaizhen, the little lady's extraordinary appearance and cold temperament, stood out among the other young ladies, and shocked the young people like them.

It was just a glance. Like other passers-by, he had just seen it and had no idea what happened to the little lady later.

“When did she get out of the Jiaofangsi?”

Mr. Shen said, "Ye Quan was killed at the gate of Dali Temple, which attracted the attention of the officials, so they re-investigated Ye Quan's case. Half a year later, although the case was not completely revealed, Ye Quan was cleared of suspicion and pardoned." The Ye family, Ye Huaizhen came out of the teaching workshop, and then the Ye family disappeared in the capital. I don’t know the details. You can ask Siping, the steward of the young prince, for the details. "

The next day, Su Ruojin got up early early in the morning. When Huaping arrived, she was already waiting obediently. After practicing her skills, she was grabbed by the young lady again.

“Are you going out again?”

Su Ruojin smiled and nodded, "Yes, Uncle Hua."

“If it’s shopping for groceries, I won’t agree.”

The little lady raised her fleshy little hands and waved, "It's still Dongshan Academy."

Early in the morning, Hua Ping felt as if he had seen a ghost. It was his turn to ask, "No way!" Are you really going to create a chance for him?

Su Ruojin allowed him to misunderstand, "Are you going or not?"

“I won’t go.” Hua Ping refused firmly.

Ah, I’m really not tempted, I’m...

Su Ruojin didn't want to think about it, so she quickly changed her tone and said, "I lied to you, not to go to shopkeeper Ye, but to see my brother-in-law."

Hua Ping's brows were just short of catching a fly, "He didn't go to the Imperial College, but went to Dongshan Academy instead?"

"no."

“Then what is he going to do? To gain fame?”

Su Ruojin: ...Why are these words so unpleasant? But it seems...

“Hurry, have breakfast quickly. After eating, we will go to the literary gathering of Dongshan Academy.”

How could we forget such an important event? Dongshan Academy holds a literati event every three years, which happens to be before the Dragon Boat Festival. Therefore, this year’s dragon boat event was attended by famous literati.

As long as there is a dragon boat race held by the Dongshan Academy Literary Association, it will be more lively than usual. Sometimes, when officials are interested, they will go to the moat to watch the dragon boat race in person, and listen to the literati reciting poems in praise of Yin and singing about peace and prosperity.

Su Ruojin yelled anxiously, pulling Shuping and was about to set off. Su Yanli, dressed in a light green robe with wide sleeves, stood in the corridor and said with a smile, "Ajin, take your father with you."

“Isn’t dad worthy?”

“The Imperial College allowed the Master to go to Dongshan Academy to attend the literati meeting.”

Su Ruojin flipped her brain. Three years ago, she was five years old. Did her father pass away that year? She didn't seem to remember. The Su family was having a hard time at that time, and Mother Dong was blackmailed away by Mrs. Xu. She was either standing on the stove or dealing with oil, salt, sauce and vinegar every day, and she really didn't have the time to pay attention to these things.

Su Yanli reached out and stroked the top of his daughter's head, "I didn't participate three years ago."

oh!

“Why didn’t you hear what dad said last night?”

“You will be in bed while I speak.”

Su Ruojin chuckled, "Then let's go."

The father and daughter are going happily. Su Sanlang is also going, but Su Yanli doesn't want to take him with him. "There are too many people, and they have to squeeze you." The main reason is that they are afraid of losing them.

“Sister, I’m not afraid of crowds, and I’m not afraid either.” Su Sanlang insisted on following, holding on to the mule cart without letting go.

I have no choice but to take the little kid with me.
