Hall of Light.
"What?"
After listening to Nanny Li's report, Zhao Ying was surprised.
Shangguan Shu actually fell to the point of buying firewood in the suburbs of Beijing to make a living?
The informants also said that Shangguan Shu was wearing a patched coarse linen shirt, was thin and had a haggard face, and no longer had the vigor and vitality of the past...
The spies also said that Shangguan Shu only drank cold water all day, and only took out a penny to buy a cold steamed bun before leaving the market in the evening, and ate it while going up the mountain to his residence.
His living quarters were even worse...
After hearing these words, she subconsciously felt that Shangguan Shu was using a torture trick.
Even if he gave her half of his fortune after the divorce, he was still rich. How could he have fallen to this point?
Oh……
Zhao Ying sneered in her heart. Since he wanted to use torture on her, then let him suffer. She wanted to see how long he could pretend!
…
Wei Mansion.
Wei Yuan came back, and although he was almost beaten out as a beggar, he happened to meet Wei Fu who was returning home and recognized him.
Shangguan Shu still found a set of clothes for Wei Yuan, but he didn't buy them. He was lucky. There was a beggar lying on the street. He observed him for a whole day and found that the beggar was motionless. He went over to check and found that the person had been dead for a long time.
The bodies were dried out.
He stripped off the beggar's clothes, which were barely enough to cover his body.
He didn't dare tell Wei Yuan that this was taken from a dead person, for he was worried that Wei Yuan would be too delicate and not wear it.
When Wei Yuan saw him bringing the clothes, his eyes lit up brighter than those of a child who got new clothes during the Chinese New Year.
It has been buried in the soil for two days. Occasionally it goes out to relieve itself, and then comes back to bury itself again. It is well-behaved and sensible.
As he scooped up soil to cover his belly, he couldn't help but comfort himself that his life was not in vain. After all, not everyone has the opportunity to bury themselves.
Wei Fu had learned that Wei Yuan's body had been stolen, and he mobilized a large force to search for it for two days. He never expected that Wei Yuan, who had left the Wei Mansion lying down, would return standing up...
While I'm happy, I can't help feeling a little scared.
Not only he was frightened, but the entire Wei family. Wherever they passed, the whole yard was filled with howling, which lasted for a long time before the noise subsided.
Wei Yuan hurriedly took a hot bath, but it was too cold, too cold.
After taking a bath and getting dressed, Wei Yuan was enjoying his meal when Wei Fu sat opposite him and began to ask Wei Yuan, "How did you survive? Do you remember who killed you? Who stole you from the coroner?"
Wei Yuan knew nothing about anything.
He only told what he knew, which was no important information to Wei Fu.
Wei Fu sighed and said earnestly, "Your resurrection from the dead is a rare opportunity that no one else could hope for. You must cherish it and stop wasting your life on alcohol."
These words touched Wei Yuan's heart. Wei Yuan felt that this experience had made him grow up, open his mind, and no longer complain about himself.
Especially in the past two days, I have seen the ups and downs of Shangguan Shu. Even so, he did not become decadent, and he remained strong and inspiring.
Thinking of Shangguan Shu, Wei Yuan's heart was filled with strength and motivation.
He couldn't help but tell Wei Fu about his experiences over the past two days, "Brother, guess who saved me?"
"who?"
"Shangguan Shu!"
"What?"
Wei Yuan told Wei Fu everything about Shangguan Shu's current situation, his words full of sympathy and regret. Finally, he said, "By the way, I also promised him that I would give him some money when I get home, Lao Liu..."
Wei Yuan called the old servant and was about to ask him to deliver the silver to the outskirts of the city when he was interrupted by Wei Fu.
Wei Fu raised his hand slightly, narrowed his eyes, and said simply: "No need..."
"Why?" Wei Yuan didn't understand.
Wei Fu looked at Wei Yuan as if he were a fool.
He didn't want to explain to Wei Yuan. Shangguan Shu was probably using this as a trick to torture Zhao Ying.
Since it is a self-torture trick, then he will fulfill it!
If Yingmei knew that he was wealthy but still pretended to be poor to deceive her, she would definitely hate him even more!
The next day, Wei Fu entered the palace and suggested to Emperor Jianxi that the Lantern Festival banquet was held in the palace in previous years, which was too boring.
I heard that spring comes early near Yumang Mountain and the peach blossoms bloom early, which is a unique experience. Why don’t you go to Yumang Mountain to bathe in the hot springs first, and then enjoy the flowers and lantern festival at night and have fun with the people? Wouldn’t it be wonderful?
Emperor Jianxi thought about it and readily agreed.
So the holiday allowance from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the emperor's decree to visit Yumang Mountain fell into the hands of the officials under the jurisdiction of Yumang Mountain.
Everyone was curious about why His Majesty came to Yumang Mountain, excited about receiving the project payment, and worried about what to do if something went wrong at work and they failed to take good care of the Emperor...
After much consideration, Yumang Mountain finally "moved".
The emperor wants to appreciate the peach blossoms, but what should he do if the peach blossoms are not in bloom?
They searched the flower markets and the famous varieties raised by wealthy families in the capital, and if that was still not enough, they would go to other provinces and spend a lot of money to buy them, to ensure that the peach blossoms would bloom on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Repair the hot spring and trim the weeds.
The roads were cleared of weeds and garbage, vendors were not allowed to set up stalls, and some yamen runners were allowed to pretend to be vendors. At the same time, the smelly beggars on the roadside were driven away. Martial law was imposed three days in advance, and knives and metal objects were controlled. Anyone who wanted to enter Wogua Town had to verify their identity to prevent assassins from taking advantage of the situation...
If there are sons and daughters of officials and wealthy families who want to come and have a chance encounter with the royal family, please register in advance and the registration fee will be waived...
How could Shangguan Shu not know about such a big commotion?
When cleaning out the vendors, he will be the first one to be cleaned out!
In the past, he came to sell some dry firewood. Because of his good looks, he always sold it faster than others. His peers were jealous and wanted to make trouble for him, but seeing that he was tall and strong, they knew he was not someone to be trifled with, so they endured it.
Therefore, his timber business is quite smooth.
But in the past few days, a young woman with a round face came to buy firewood from him every day. This young woman had an affair with a yamen runner in the yamen. When the yamen runner knew about this, he would certainly not let Shangguan Shu go. He was looking for a reason to punish him, and the opportunity came.
