Chapter 339 Rescheduling
Over the years, Old Tutor Lin has been thinking a lot about getting Old Master Pei to return to the court. He not only wrote letters to persuade him, but even went to Lianzhou to persuade him in person. He was really thoughtful.
Old Master Pei was tired of the intrigues in the court and would rather live a leisurely and comfortable life. Old Tutor Lin was extremely envious, but he had something on his mind and the emperor refused to let him go, so he had no choice but to stay in Kyoto and suffer every day.
Knowing that he couldn't persuade him, he gave up. In the end, Old Master Pei figured it out on his own. Old Master Lin really wanted to know who had the ability to bend this stubborn ox.
Old Master Pei said, "I came to the capital for Huai Jin and decided to return to the court. I didn't see you at the Ten-Li Pavilion just now, so I knew the letter didn't reach you..."
Given his thirty-year friendship with Old Master Lin, Old Master Lin would definitely go to Shili Pavilion to welcome him. Even if he was not feeling well and could not go himself, he would send his steward.
There is only one possibility for not seeing the people in the Lin Mansion, that is, the old tutor Lin did not receive his letter.
He knew that his grandson had hit a wall this time, but how could Old Master Pei tolerate the fact that even the letters between him and Old Tutor Lin were robbed?
This case is difficult to overturn. He has no official position and cannot trouble Old Master Lin to run around for him. If he can be reinstated, it will be much easier to seek justice for his grandson.
After hearing this, Old Master Lin asked, "What happened to Huai Jin?"
Old Master Pei said, "Huai Jin got into a fight with the eldest son of the Wang family, the nephew of Marquis Wucheng, and kicked him in the chest. He died on the spot, foaming at the mouth. Lianzhou sentenced Huai Jin to death and he was escorted to the capital yesterday..."
Old Master Lin's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. "How could this happen?"
Old Master Pei said, "If the Lianzhou prefect had not been an upright official, Huai Jin would have been executed by now."
Madam Lin said, "I've heard the old tutor praise Huai Jin a lot, but I've never seen him before."
Old Tutor Lin met Pei Huaijin in Lianzhou. Seeing that Pei Huaijin was lively, clever and intelligent, he wanted to poach Pei Huaijin and bring him home to be his grandson. However, Pei Huaijin refused to agree no matter what.
Old Tutor Lin had been thinking about this matter for several years and mentioned it to Old Madam Lin many times, but he never expected that there would be a day when Old Master Pei would return to Beijing. Even Pei Huaijin was in Kyoto, but in the death row of the Ministry of Justice.
Old Master Lin said, "Once we find out the true cause of Young Master Wang's death and Huai Jin is acquitted, we will see him."
Old Master Pei sat down and the maid served him tea.
Old Master Pei looked at Shen Wan and said, "This person's features look very familiar, could it be..."
Old Master Lin laughed and said, "When she was little, Shen Ji's daughter pulled out several of your beards and would cry if you didn't let her pull..."
Shen Wan was embarrassed.
Could she say she didn't remember it?
She's grown up now, and it's so embarrassing to still talk about these things.
Old Master Pei laughed and said, "I was wondering why it looked so familiar. Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye."
Old Master Pei sat for a while, and Old Master Lin asked him to go to the study to talk, leaving Shen Wan to accompany Old Madam Lin.
Shen Wan peeled grapes for Old Madam Lin to eat when the maid came in and said, "Prince Jingbei is here."
Shen Wan, “…???”
Didn’t they agree that he would pick her up after drinking?
It's almost lunchtime, why is he here?
Not long after, Xie Jingyu came in and bowed to Old Lady Lin. Old Lady Lin smiled and said, "Wan'er said you were busy and would come to pick her up later. Are you done now?"
Xie Jingyu answered them one by one.
Shen Wan asked quietly, "I promised Prince Yuzhang to go drinking, it's not good to stand him up, right?"
Xie Jingyu laughed, "It's been rescheduled."
Shen Wan was puzzled, "Why?"
"He was beaten by Prince Teng again and is bedridden."
“…”
Shen Wan looked incredulous.
Prince Yuzhang was misunderstood to have a drink at Tianxiang Tower and was beaten by Prince Teng. Yesterday, he brought people to seal off Tianxiang Tower. Naturally, Prince Teng knew that Prince Yuzhang was wronged. Why did he still beat Prince Yuzhang?
Um.
This beating was not unjust.
Yesterday, Prince Yuzhang came to the palace to file a complaint with bruises on his face, and was assigned the task of sealing off Tianxiang Tower. Prince Teng then realized that he had really misunderstood his son.
After the morning court session today, the Emperor summoned Prince Teng and reprimanded him, telling him not to always think badly of Prince Yuzhang, and that as a father he should also see the good qualities in his son.
Prince Teng had to listen to the emperor's lecture, but on the way back from the palace, he racked his brains and couldn't think of any other advantages his son had besides his thick skin and ability to withstand beatings...
Prince Teng felt somewhat uncomfortable in his heart for having wronged his son, but as a father, he couldn't bring himself to apologize to his son.
He thought of making amends elsewhere and asked his son if there was anything he wanted. But before he could even open his mouth, his son, with bruises on his face, said nonchalantly, "Don't think you're my father and I can forgive you just by saying sorry. It's not that easy..."
real.
As soon as Prince Yuzhang opened his mouth, Prince Teng's anger surged to his head.
He just did one serious thing and he became so arrogant. If his father doesn't help him calm down, he will get into trouble sooner or later.
Then--
The Prince of Yuzhang was beaten again.
Normally, he would not be bedridden if he was beaten, but he was so unlucky. When Princess Teng tried to stop the fight, Prince Yuzhang was afraid that his mother would be implicated, so he tried to move away. However, he avoided his mother and bumped into his father's foot, and was kicked away.
In fact, it is not that serious. For a martial artist, a kick is not a serious injury. But with such a good opportunity, I must pretend to be sick and teach my father a lesson.
He had to pretend to the end, and since Xie Jingyu happened to be busy, he took the opportunity to postpone it to another day, thus having the best of both worlds.
When it was time for lunch, Madam Lin said, "Go and invite the old tutor and Old Master Pei."
Before the maid on this side left, the maid on the other side came in and said, "Old Madam, Old Master Pei has left, and the old tutor has gone to the palace to look for the emperor."
When Old Lady Lin heard this, she knew that Old Tutor Lin was afraid that Old Master Pei would get angry for a while and not want to return to the court after he recovered. So she quickly went to the emperor to reinstate him and not give Old Master Pei a chance to regret.
Madam Lin said, "Then let's eat first."
Shen Wan helped Old Madam Lin sit down. With her and Xie Jingyu by her side, Old Madam Lin's appetite improved a lot, but she only ate half a bowl of rice and couldn't eat anymore.
Madam Lin’s health has not been very good to begin with. How can she get better if she eats so little?
Before Chen Wan liked Shanhu, even though he was sick, he still enjoyed eating everything.
After lunch, Madam Lin was really tired, so Shen Wan and Xie Jingyu said goodbye.
The two men left the house and the steward of the Lin Mansion saw them off.
Xie Jingyu helped Chen Wan onto the carriage and noticed someone peeking at him furtively, so he looked over.
The woman standing there was about thirty-five or thirty-six years old. She didn't expect anyone to look at her, so she turned around and left in panic, and ended up bumping into a vendor selling pears on a basket.
The peddler staggered after being knocked to the ground, and the pears in his basket rolled all over the floor.
The woman tried to leave, but the vendor grabbed her and said, "You knocked over my pears, you have to compensate me."
The manager of the Lin Mansion looked over and happened to meet the woman's eyes.
The manager was startled by the familiar features.
He walked over quickly, and the woman shook the vendor off with all her might, saying to him, "Go get the money from him."
After saying this, the woman left in a hurry.
The steward tried to chase him, but was stopped by the vendor, "She's gone, you can't leave."
The manager had no choice but to ask, "How much? I'll pay."
