Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 383

A new mansion in the capital.

It is said to be new because the brown-black door here is newly installed at first glance.

It turned out that this house had been idle for a long time. It is said that an official committed a crime and did not have time to deal with this house.

Someone bought this house recently, and it seems that it has been renovated.

Although this family is very low-key, but based on the gate, it is known that the family is rich and valuable.

Although Daming paid attention to returning to the original nature in furniture, the color of the original wood was often exposed in the furniture, and mahogany furniture was naturally popular.

In the final analysis, it was because the paint was too precious in this era. Although there were paints in the Ming Dynasty, the paints were all natural lacquers produced by lacquer trees.The lacquer is a deep brown-black after filming.

Good wood can increase its transparency after being exposed to the sun and continuously filtered, and then added with natural paint brown and black, it looks very special, but the counterfeiting is too expensive, and most people are not willing to use it.

"Who moved in here? This gate is really beautiful."

Some people couldn't help discussing.

"I don't know, Lu Mansion! I have never heard of this big man surnamed Lu in the capital, but in the boundary of the capital, a brick may hit a few Yuanwailang, and maybe some family member of a small official has moved to the capital!"

"Don't underestimate any small officials. They might be offshoots of some rich man in the south of the Yangtze River. Those rich men are very rich. Now those high-ranking officials are also climbing up step by step!"

"That's right, it's better to study. The carp jumps over the dragon's gate. Let's not talk about it. Our second boy is going to school today. He probably hasn't woken up yet, and the sun is covering his ass! Grandma, I have to go back and train well." That kid!"

Lu Fu.

It is also the mansion of the current head of state, Lu Lianxian.

It is said that it is the head of the country, but few people know about it at the moment. The reason is that the future queen has just entered Beijing and is still in her natal family.

It's the second day after they arrived in Beijing.

The two princes and princesses are still young, they are traveling all the way, resting at home.

After Lu Lianxian's wife passed away, he did not remarry.

He is used to carelessness, and he doesn't like women and mothers-in-law.

Although his wife is considered virtuous, he was able to be the county magistrate of Jingshan because of his old father-in-law's family, and he is also very grateful to his wife.

But to be honest, after his wife passed away, they got married, although he was also sad for a while.

But I have to say that today's life is relatively timid, no one is nagging, and I can do whatever I want.

He is used to carelessness, his former wife was a young lady, and he lived a refined life.

In fact, the two did not have any major conflicts. Lu Lianxian was not interested in love affairs other than being interested in fighting with fists and kicks.

His wife is sensitive and he is rude. Even if he is not a bad-hearted person, to be honest, life is very aggrieved.

In the early years, he was better at the border, and he was uncommon. Later, he was sent to a local area, and his wife followed him.

Now that his wife is gone, his wife's dowry maid is now serving Lu Lianxian and taking care of his two children.

The eldest son is studying in his hometown, and the second son is in the border barracks. This time, Lu Lian also called him back and accompanied him to Beijing.

The size of the yard is medium. The Lu family lives in a small yard on one side, and Han Jinrong and her children live in the other yard.

Lu Lianxian told his son, daughter-in-law and servants not to disturb the future queen's family, and to report to himself first.

The son and daughter-in-law know that their father has adopted a daughter, but they have never seen each other. Now that they know that she is the future queen, they are already shocked. Naturally, they dare not disturb everything at will and only listen to their father's arrangements.

……

"Sister Sujin, are you going out?"

As soon as Xiao Sanzi arrived at the door on horseback, he saw Su Jin going out with a little maid.

"Master Li, my wife told me to buy some soft cotton cloth to make diapers. We prepared it in Anlu Prefecture earlier, but forgot to bring it here. There are only some left over that are not enough. I will buy some. Some daily-use things at home, by the way Buy some."

Su Jin saw Xiao Sanzi and Lin Tong coming, said with a smile, and bowed to several people.

Lin Tong, although Su Jin is not as close as the third son, but when he was in the capital, Lin Tong often came to drink with Master Qin, and Su Jin is also very close.

"I see that there is a large carriage prepared here. Sister Sujin must have a lot of things to buy, why don't we go and help together!"

Lin Tong is actually older than Su Jin, and now he also calls Sister Su Jin along with the third son.

However, this kind of title in this era is often a kind of honorific title.

He followed Jiang Bin in Leopard Workshop, and now Leopard Workshop is completely a neglected department, with nothing else to do except internal training.

When Han Jinrong came here and needed help, Wang Yun seconded Lin Tong.

Fortunately, although Lin Tong worked with Lin Bin in Leopard Workshop, he was just a small squad leader. Compared with Shenzhou and Li Zong, he didn't attract much attention.

Wang Yun said that he needed someone, and Jiang Bin directly seconded Lin Tong to work.

There were indeed a lot of things to buy this time, Su Jin only brought a maid and a family.

Moreover, the capital area is large, and they lived in a different area before, and she was not familiar with this area either.

Lin Tong had been in the capital for many years, and when Wang Yun was in Wucheng Bingmasi, Lin Tong also followed around, and he was very familiar with the capital.

He took Sujin and the others directly to the most prosperous commercial street in the capital to do some shopping.

They needed to buy a lot of things this time. First, they went to the cloth shop and bought a lot of cotton cloth. Seeing cloth with good designs and colors, Su Jin thought that her wife and children needed to make more clothes, so she decided to I couldn't resist buying some of the most popular designs in Beijing.

Then I went to the medicinal material shop to buy some medicines that I need to prepare daily, and I also bought tea.

Later, I went to the most famous Rouge Street nearby.

This capital city is where the powerful and rich people gather, and the noble ladies also put in great effort to dress up.

In order to cope with those noble ladies, a rouge street was formed.

Although Xiaosanzi and Lin Tong enthusiastically came out to help, they were also a little helpless. This woman's shopping was really time-consuming. She looked here and compared there. It took more than half a day and she still hasn't finished her shopping.

The two squatted at the gate of the street, guarding the car, their legs were a little numb, and Su Jin came out slowly with two little maids.

As soon as they came out, several beggars surrounded them.

"My lady, do me a favor!"

"Little lady, I haven't eaten for several days, give me some money to eat!"

A group of people paid out money in a hurry.

These beggars are actually oily people. Those who know that they can haunt the Rouge Shop must be housekeepers and ladies with good family backgrounds. These people are powerless and easy to soften their hearts.

Especially some little ladies, who are thin-skinned and don't want to entangle with those idlers and beggars, they usually take out some copper coins to get rid of the trouble.

"Get out! Get out of the way!"

Lin Tong knew these people best, and many of them were lazy.

It’s okay if you are disabled, old or young, but some of them are young or middle-aged, and they are idlers who don’t want to work hard and just want to make some extra money!

Lin Tong looked down on these people very much and went forward to chase them away.

Su Jin was taken aback at first, but she didn't expect so many dirty people to come up all at once.

Habitually, I wanted to take out the copper plate and spread it out.

Among these beggars, there are white-haired old men, a few children with horns tied, and some thin middle-aged idlers with wretched expressions. Among them is a young man who looks dirty but wears a long gown... …

When Su Jin looked at that person, that person happened to look at her.

The eyes of the two meet...

The man panicked!

"what!"

Su Jin yelled in surprise, and realized that the man had turned around and was about to run.

"Catch... hurry... catch him!"

Su Jin cried out loudly.

Lin Tong and Xiao Sanzi came to their senses, one looked at Su Jin, and the other chased after that person.

"He...he is a thief! A thief! Stealing people!"

Su Jin cried out in panic.

Seeing that Su Jin's expression was abnormal, Lin Tong understood that it was not an easy matter, so he ran after that person!

A group of beggars heard that there were thieves, worried about causing trouble, and soon dispersed.

Because there is a car loaded with goods, and I am a woman, it is not easy to chase.

Su Jin could only take the two little maids and servants to look at the goods first, and wait for the third son and the others to find out the result.

After a while, Lin Tong and the third son came back.

"That kid is too slick. He is very familiar with this place. We chased for a few streets and was escaped by that kid! But don't worry, I am familiar with the boundaries of this capital city. Isn't he a beggar? When I go back, I will contact Wucheng Those people from Bingmasi, as long as his kid is not dead, they will definitely be able to catch him!"

Lin Tong said out of breath.

"Sister Sujin, who is that person?"

The third son walked up to Sujin, feeling that this was not an easy matter, so he asked in a low voice.

"This matter involves the lady, let's go back and report to the lady, and see how to solve this matter!"

Su Jin said in a low voice.

Several people quickly packed up their things, rode horses and drove back to Lu Mansion.

……

"You said Lu Maocai is still alive?"

When Han Jinrong heard Sujin's report, she stood up from her chair all of a sudden, her voice trembling.

"Yes, ma'am, I can't be wrong with what I saw with my own eyes. In the early years when he was in the Han family, Madam saw him as pitiful, so she helped him a lot. He did things with a bad conscience. Even if he turned into ashes, I could still recognize him." !"

Su Jin was also quite excited.

"Although the guy looked thin and dirty, and one leg seemed to be inconvenient, he ran quite fast. The third son and Commander Lin chased him for a few blocks, but there were many alleys and crowded people, so we couldn't find him. However, they found some acquaintances again, and Commander Wang (Wang Yun) also passed by. He is now at the Bingma Division in Wucheng and has many acquaintances. They are searching nearby in the name of our things being stolen. , I hope to have a good result."

There was regret in Su Jin's voice.

In the evening, Xiaosanzi, Wang Yun, Lin Tong and the others came back.

"Girl, let that guy run away. We searched for several hours, but we didn't find him. But Lin Datong knew the leader of the beggars nearby. After some inquiries, he said that the guy just came to the capital for less than two months. Sleeping in the open in a ruined temple, where the leader and one of his subordinates belong, the leader has promised that if the guy is still nearby, they will be able to find him within three days!"

The third son came in and reported back.

Snakes have snake nests, rats have rat ways!
Sometimes you really need some special people to help you do things.

"Well, everyone has worked hard, third son, you are considered an adult now, you can look at the arrangements for entertaining them, don't worry about the money, Sujin will get you some more later, it's just that we don't need it , we need to do more outside too!"

Han Jinrong nodded after hearing Xiao Sanzi's reply, and then gave instructions.

"Understood, girl, I obey your orders!"

The third son followed Sujin to get the money.

Su Jin took the silver taels for the youngest son, and sent the people below to prepare meals and drinks for the men who were working.

She was already proficient in doing things with Han Jinrong, and she was very good at entertaining people.

……

"Miss, are you still thinking about the day's affairs?"

After finishing everything, Su Jin saw that Han Jinrong was still awake, so she came over worried.

"Well, everyone has arranged it?"

Han Jinrong asked.

"Yes! We were supposed to go back. Master Wang Yun went back first. There are old people and children in his house. Commander Lin Tong is far away. I will ask about the situation of those beggars tomorrow. They will live with the third son."

Su Jin replied.

"Understood, why did Lu Maocai suddenly come to the capital?"

Han Jinrong was a little puzzled and muttered to herself
After Lu Maocai framed him back then, he was kicked out by the Han family.

Later, she asked people to inquire about this person in order to clear her grievances, but who knew that she only heard the news that he was dead.

Now that a dead person suddenly appeared in this capital, all this seems a bit unusual.

Even if he was not dead and alive, why did he come to this capital?
As far as he knew, Lu Maocai's six relatives were away and his family was poor. The reason why he lived in the Han Mansion was also because his family was poor and unable to study.

The Han family thought that he was at least a scholar, and Zhou Ji let him study, so that he would have fame and fame in the future, so that he could take care of each other, which was a kind of investment.

According to the information that Lord Qin helped him investigate earlier, it can be known that his father reached an agreement with the Yang family or that his father was clinging to the powerful and gave up seeking justice for himself.

Then who used Lu Maocai to frame him?
The Han family?
Shouldn't be possible!
Even if they wanted to sacrifice themselves to please the Yang family, there was no need to find Lu Mao to ruin their reputation. This would be a disgrace to the Han family, it could be said to be a shame!

Lu Maocai himself?
He didn't have that guts, and the two didn't have much intersection at all.

At that time, it was only said that someone took the ambiguous teaser token between the two.

If that's the case, the Han family can naturally drive Lu Maocai out or even silence him first, and they won't be willing to lose the wealthy relatives of the Yang family.

There is only one case:
Someone in the Yang family colluded with Lu Maocai and deliberately framed him to cancel the engagement!
The Han family understood the situation after knowing it, but they were manipulated by the Yang family. Rather than letting people know that their daughter had an affair with a foreigner, it would be better to die!
Yes!
Absolutely!

So it all makes sense!

Lu Maocai did such a thing to get some kind of benefit promise, but he almost lost his life in the end!

Now that I have arrived in Shangjing, I am definitely not reconciled, and want to get back what I wanted back then!
Who can he ask for?
Of course it was the Yang family!
The Yang family and Lu Maocai are dirty, and Lu Maocai must have something to do with them!
"Su Jin! Su Jin!"

After Han Jinrong figured it all out, she immediately called out to Sujin.

"My lady, what's the matter? What's the matter?"

Su Jin was packing some things in the room, when she heard Han Jinrong's cry, she hurried out.

"Sujin, I have something to inform the Lord, you go to the front yard and call the third son, just say that I have something important to send to the Lord!"

Han Jinrong said excitedly.

"Yes!"

……

Royal Palace.

Qin Shao was about to rest when Zhang Zuo walked in.

"Your Majesty, Commander Wang is seeking an audience outside!"

Qin Shao froze.

Wang Yun probably won't be going to Beijing right now.

By the way, it should be Wang Yin. His identity has changed now, and he still can't remember it.

"Let him come in directly!"

Qin Shao said directly.

Wang Yin came back so late, it must be something urgent.

Qin Shao remembered that he seemed to be off duty today.

"Master, the girl has brought a letter!"

Wang Yin came in and said.

Because of his eagerness, he has forgotten the title he should have now.

However, the relationship between the two is too close, and when facing him, Qin Shao seldom cares about those things.

"Bring it to me!"

Qin Shao quickly opened the letter, read a few lines, the corner of his mouth twitched, and let out a sneer.

It's really timely when someone comes to hand you a pillow when you doze off!
Interesting, now, he is even more of a boss!
