Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 85
Most of the officials in the Ministry of Punishment work from the lower level to review cases, while the children of ordinary aristocratic families rarely go there. Among the six departments, the work in the Ministry of Punishment is relatively hard, and they often have to go out.

Seeing him smiling like this, the elder of the Shao family said, "Xiao Wu, you only want to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice because you think the investigation is interesting."

Shao Ziyu's eyebrows moved slightly, "Yes."

"Uncle knows that the reason you went to Pengcheng was also for your father and mother." Uncle Shao sighed, "We can't persuade you, you captured the remnants of the robbers in the robbery back then, uncle wants to know, Are you looking into what happened back then?"

"It's good to be able to find out clearly." Shao Ziyu nodded, and then said, "It's just that so many years have passed, even if I have doubts, these robbers have already been executed."

Seemingly satisfied with Shao Ziyu's words, Master Shao looked at him with satisfaction, "Uncle knows these things, you will always remember them, but you should let go of what should be let go."

Shao Ziyu picked up the cup and took a sip, lowering his head slightly, "Uncle said so."

After dinner, they mostly asked about Shao Ziyu's future whereabouts. Knowing that he wanted to go to the Ministry of Punishment, the second master of the Shao family did not object.

After dinner, I went back to Chenxiang Courtyard. After a long day of traveling, Brother Han went to bed early. After bathing, Lin Qingran was also a little tired, so she leaned in his arms, "Later, the auntie and the others knew that you wanted to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I advise you."

"Don't pay attention to them." Shao Ziyu plucked her hair, "Tomorrow when I go to court, I will ask the Holy Majesty to play."

"Investigating the case is of course important, but don't rush it." Lin Qingran rolled over and lay on top of him.

In the past few years, Lin Qingran has been cooperating with him, and Shao Ziyu knew it well. He pinched her nose and said, "No hurry, I will accompany you to the Lin family in a few days. It is not so fast to take office."

The next day when Shao Ziyu went to court, Lin Qingran sent someone to find a house outside. The yard was not big, and it was just right for Jiu Lao Qi and the others to live in. When they learned that they came back, Shao's mansion came to sit in the Chenxiang Courtyard There were quite a few people, and they were busy receiving them in the first few days.

On the third day after coming back, Shao Ziyu’s official approval to go to the Ministry of Punishment came down. The deputy magistrate of the Ministry of Punishment will take up his post in ten days. Now it’s the end of February, and Shao Ziyu has to prepare to take the children’s test in early March. Things are all crowded at the end of this month. , Lin Qingran postponed her return to the Lin family for a few days, and waited until after Shao Ziyu's test.

Lin Qingran herself has a lot of things to do. Just the accounts of several shops in the past three years are enough for her to look at them for a few days.

Compared with the busyness of his parents, Brother Han is much happier.

Lin Qingran took him to Mrs. Tai's to say hello, and called her grandma. Mrs. Gu rewarded her with a big red envelope, and came down from the big room to the fourth room, which was quite rewarding.

I got to know my brothers and sisters again, Brother Han's life is not to mention much more nourishing, Sister Lan came to Chenxiangyuan to look for him, and brought him food and play, Brother Han took one bite and one sister, screaming loudly.

In the evening, Brother Han didn't forget to count his sister's good things with Lin Qingran. My sister gave him food, my sister took him to play, and my sister would talk to him.

Lin Qingran patted his head, he was bored by himself in Pengcheng.

"Mother, Sister Lan and I met my brother today." Brother Han raised his head and said, "My brother didn't play with us, and he cried."

"Why don't you play with you?" Lin Qingran asked him to put down the things in his hands and talk about it. Brother Han thought for a while, "My brother's nanny won't let him play with us."

Hearing this, Lin Qingran probably understood that the fourth aunt's treasured grandson was beyond imagination. She was afraid of knocking when walking, and afraid of falling when holding it in her hands.

"My brother was crying very sad." Brother Han was puzzled, "Why didn't you play with us?"

"Brother Ying is still young." Lin Qingran could only tell him this, "He needs someone to take care of him, so he can't play with you."

Brother Han nodded half-understood, and in the end he looked regretful, "My brother is so pitiful."

Lin Qingran was amused by his compassion, pinched his face, reached out and touched the back of his shirt, sweating after playing all afternoon, ordered the nanny to take him to take a bath, and read the last point For the ledger, Lin Qingran went to the study.

Shao Ziyu is reading a book.

Lin Qingran brought some tea in for him to eat, Shao Ziyu pulled her to sit down, held her in one hand, and continued to read with the book in the other.

Lin Qingran could only spare the rest of her hands to feed him with pastries, glanced at the book he was reading, and said teasingly, "Why, you still plan to get a good score in the exam."

"That's not surprising." Shao Ziyu took part in the children's examination at this age, most of them came out of the academy in their teens, even if he passed, he would not be able to become the queen mother.

Lin Qingran laughed at him for being childish, and how serious he was with a group of younger people, but Shao Ziyu was already planning to perform in the next autumn test.

Seeing his hard work, Lin Qingran picked out a book by herself and read it quietly with him for a while.

It was late at night outside the window, and the crescent moon was hooked in the sky, showing a touch of brilliance. Shao Ziyu put down the book, and Lin Qingran, who was beside him, had already fallen asleep on the soft couch, holding a book of travel notes in his hand.

Shao Ziyu walked to her and sat down, Fu leaned down and kissed her on the forehead. Lin Qingran woke up with sleepy eyes, "Have you finished reading?"

Shao Ziyu nodded and pulled her up, and the two of them walked out of the study room. The yard was pitch black, and the lights in the corridor were dimly lit. Shao Ziyu put one hand on her waist, and walked forward with her arms around her gently, saying something, Accompanied by Lin Qingran's light laughter

In mid-March, Shao Ziyu had already arrived at the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the children's test was over. On the day of rest, Lin Qingran packed up her things and brought Brother Han back to the Lin Mansion. They discussed staying for a few days before returning.

When we arrived at the Lin Mansion, before we had a few words, the second sister Lin Qingyan, who had received Lin Qingran's letter, also arrived at the Lin Mansion with her youngest son. After half an hour, the eldest sister, the third sister and the fourth sister all came over.

"Look at how much face you have." Lin Qingyan teased her, "Little Six and Little Seven may be here later, but just because of your return, we made us wait an extra month."

Lin Qingran had no choice but to beg for mercy, "My good sister, thanks to you, I will go to Jinfu to apologize to you someday."

Lin Qingyan pinched her and scolded with a smile, "Okay, you remember to bring me a generous gift, I don't want to see you if it's not thick enough."

The eldest sister and the others here laughed. There are more children outside the house, which is more lively than inside.

Brother Han is not the youngest, after three years since Lin Qingran left, third sister Lin Qingxuan gave birth to another son, who is less than two years old now, and still staggers when walking, and needs to be held by his sister, but seeing Brother Han, it is also Followed behind the buttocks and called brother glutinously, having a good time.

In the evening, Dalang and Erlang came back with Lin Wenxi. Next year, the two brothers will participate in the autumn examination together. This is two years later than when Lin Wenxi participated in the autumn examination. They are also under a lot of pressure. Brother-in-law is also very good, it is not uncommon for them to win the exam, we have to see what the ranking is in the annual palace examination.

When the two stood in front of Lin Qingran, she was already much shorter than them. She hadn't seen Lin Qingran for three years, and she was even more calm. Compared with when she saw Lin Qingran when she was a child, she ran and threw herself on her. Now the two of them are honest in front of her. too much.

It's just that as soon as Lin Wenxi left, it was revealed.

Erlang immediately sat next to Lin Qingran, "Fifth sister, you are the one who has been the farthest in our family. You have been to Yanzhou and Pengcheng for three years."

"Why, you want to go too." Lin Qingran looked at him amusedly, "I heard from my second sister that you wanted to go to Yanzhou with your grandfather last year, but your father didn't agree, so you secretly got into the carriage and let you go at the gate of the city. Dad has been arrested."

Lin Yunhao frowned, and looked up at Lin Qingyan opposite, with a bit of annoyance, "Second Sister, didn't you agree not to talk about it, why did you say it as soon as Fifth Sister came back?"

Lin Qingyan patted the back of his head when she came over, "You still know you're embarrassed, why didn't you feel embarrassed when you hid it in the back box."

"That's because my father won't let me go with my grandfather, and I still want to take the military officer exam." Lin Yunhao cried out, clutching the back of his head, "This father doesn't agree."

"With your temperament, how can I rest assured that you will take the military officer exam." The eldest sister at the side said bluntly. After finishing speaking, everyone in the room laughed, and the third sister Lin Qingxuan nodded, "Yes, you should stay in Luodu city obediently. After two years, I will be talking about my relationship, how can I still be so impetuous."

The elder sister in the family was very happy when they were young, but when they grow up, they don't think so. No matter where they go, people will compare them with their brothers-in-law. They have more than one brother-in-law, and there are seven of them.

"I don't want to get married." Lin Yunhao shook his head and whispered, "There are not enough women in the family."

As soon as he finished speaking, the second sister picked up his ears, "Brat, what are you talking about!"

"Second sister, I know I'm wrong, second sister, let go." Lin Yunhao hurriedly begged for mercy, and the room was full of joy again. Several children ran in and looked at the door. Seeing this situation, they also laughed foolishly.

In the afternoon, Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi also came. Xiaoliu was pregnant, and she didn't dare to rush when she saw Lin Qingran happy. Xiaoqi, who was already married, didn't have any scruples when she saw her. Ashamed, she ran over and hugged Lin Qingran, acting like a child, "Fifth Sister, I miss you so much."

"Hey, I'm married now, why do you still miss me?" Lin Qingran pinched her face, Lin Qingyue snorted, her cheeks flushed, "Who would miss him."

Lin Qingyan teased her behind her, "Hey, did I hear wrong, who do you think you miss?"

"Second Sister!" Lin Qingyue stomped her feet, displeased, "How do you know how to make fun of me?"

"How dare I make fun of you, you are the most promising in our family, and you choose your husband." Lin Qingyue has been away for three years, and Lin Qingyue has done a lot of ridiculous things. The most ridiculous thing is to use a The bottle was smashed and the husband came back, and Lu Shi didn't faint from anger at that time.

The corners of Lin Qingyue's mouth turned up slightly, and she took her words as a compliment, with a hint of pride in her expression, "That's not true."

The married daughters all came back with their husbands and children. The whole family gathered together and it was very lively. Lin Wenxi also sent someone to bring back fireworks.

At this time, the Lei Mansion under the same night was not so lively. Lei Jing stayed in the study room with the window open and no candles were lit. It was the moonlight shining through the window against which he held his right hand tightly. Pulling a letter, his face was gloomy.
