Want to hold the king's hand, but the king runs away

Jin Shu seemed to understand his thoughts, and asked with a slight smile, "You also like calligraphy?"

Zhong Ming immediately cheered up: "I like it very much, and I have been practicing since I was a child."

"Come and try writing."

Jinshu took out a clean piece of rice paper from the side and laid it out, moved the position, and then handed him the Zihao in her hand.

Zhong Ming was not too polite, and after taking the pen, he calmly wrote according to Kang Ting's copybook. I saw that his brushwork was vigorous and honest, graceful and graceful, and his handwriting was extremely beautiful.

I really don't know how he praised Jinshu just now!

After writing an article seriously, Zhong Ming stopped his pen, put Zihao on the pen holder, bowed respectfully to Jin Shu, and said, "Third Miss, I'm making a fool of myself."

He saw Jinshu carefully looking at what he had written just now, and said, "This word can be read, but there are still some shortcomings, so I want to ask Kang Juju for advice."

"Zhong Ming, you and your sister have come to me recently because you have nothing to do. You must have something to ask for, but you haven't said anything, so I just waited patiently. Today I figured it out, your ultimate goal I want to see Kang Ting."

When Jin Shu said this, she looked at Zhong Ming with firm eyes.

Seeing this, Zhong Ming became slightly flustered, and hurriedly lowered his head to explain: "Miss San misunderstood. I... I just admire Kang Pingju's calligraphy and want to ask him for advice."

Still quibbling!There are flaws everywhere, and they still refuse to admit it.

"Do you think I'm young and want to deceive me? I heard that you come from a poor village on Sichuan-Shaanxi Road, and your family does farm work for a living. You know that this kind of people are usually rude and sluggish. These few times When you came to my room, I saw that you behaved like an eunuch, how can you have a villager's atmosphere? Today, I saw that your handwriting is good, and the hand that writes is also delicate and tender. I am sure that you will come Don't ask for anything here. It's just that my family has meager wealth, how can I welcome you, a great god?"

Jin Shu immediately exposed him mercilessly.

"No??"

Before waiting for Zhong Ming to make an excuse, Jin Shu said sharply: "Hmph! You dare to quibble! In this case, I will send someone to report to the government, so that the government can find out where you came from!"

After finishing speaking, Jinshu was about to leave.

This battle really frightened Zhong Ming, his face was pale, and he hurriedly begged: "Third Miss, please forgive me. My sister and I did these things. There is a great injustice! Please do me a favor, Qian Don't call the police."

Jin Shu stopped in her tracks and said to him: "I'll give you a chance to clarify this matter now! If there is any more concealment, I will definitely not take it easy"

Zhong Ming was forced to tell the truth about everything.

It turned out that the two brothers and sisters were from Kaiyang County, Yizhou Road, in the fourth Sichuan-Shanxi Road. They were originally the children of the local county magistrate.

But I don't want to, last year there was a severe drought, and the local farmers had no crops. Fortunately, the officials are kind.Not only exempted the local tax and money, but also specially distributed money and food for disaster relief.It's just that the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Seeing that money is open, the eunuch above has the idea of ​​disaster relief money, so he teamed up with the disaster relief envoys and subordinate governors to pocket the money.

Not only the money, but also more than half of the food for disaster relief was seized by them. The porridge distributed to the victims was only water, but not rice.

The county magistrate sympathized with the poor folks, and spent all his wealth to rescue them, but it was only a drop in the bucket, which was not enough to feed the victims of the disaster.

In order to save the people, the county magistrate decided to report the matter by leapfrogging, so he collected evidence in private, and at the same time asked the villagers to prepare the Wanmin Letter.

It's just that the eunuch had many eyes and ears, so he found out about it not long after, and spent a few taels of money to buy up a few local hooligans, and while the county magistrate was out, he directly beat people to death on the street, and turned around to break into the county magistrate again. The government government went to destroy the evidence.

Fortunately, a villager told Zhong Ming's mother about this, and she immediately took her children and escaped from the government office with the evidence, and finally got her life back.

Thinking of his father's tragic death, the eunuch would not easily let his family go, so Zhong Ming decided to take his mother and sister all the way to the northeast, planning to go to Bianjing to find someone who could avenge the incident, but all the way Traveling long distances without money, the mother starved for a long time for the sake of her two children, and finally fell ill and died on the road.

The parents of the brother and sister died one after another, and the grief and indignation in their hearts deepened, so they rushed day and night and finally arrived in Bianjing. After arriving here, the two realized how naive their original thoughts were!

Don't talk about redressing grievances, even those officials can't see their faces.

When those people go out, which ones don't follow a few nursing homes, and they will be loudly scolded if they get close to them.

How dare the brother and sister entrust the only evidence to such domineering officials, so they wandered around Bianjing all day, asking around for those officials with excellent reputations.

The two of them lived on Qi'an Street on weekdays, and it happened that Han Xiao was serving porridge that day. After the two of them got the meal, they saw the Kang family's carriage parked in front.

The two brothers and sisters saw that the man who got off the carriage had an extraordinary temperament, he spoke politely, and had a very kind face, so they decided to follow him to see if he could help.

After they knew Kang Ting's name, they asked others about his character, and all the people who were asked praised Kang Ting if they knew something about him.

It's just that I also learned from other people that the members of the Kang family never asked about the affairs of the previous dynasty in order to avoid suspicion.

When the two heard about this, they were completely devastated.

After the discussion, the two felt that it was rare to meet such a good person, and they couldn't miss the opportunity, so they began to inquire about Kang Ting's preference.

With this question, he inquired about Jin Shu, hoping to use Jin Shu's mouth to speak to Kang Ting.

Maybe it was because she heard that Kang Ting preferred her, Jin Shu smiled again.

Seeing this, Zhong Ming thought she was willing to help, so he hurriedly asked, "Did Miss San agree?"

With this question, Jin Shu raised her face again.

Thinking of the last time I shared dinner with Han Xiao in Kang's mansion, the Kang family and his son wandered around in front of the official's house all day long, but they didn't know about the curfew. It can be seen that the Kang family really didn't care about political affairs.

Jin Shu didn't think she had such a big face, so she could persuade Kang Ting to help this strange pair of brothers and sisters despite years of insistence.

And throughout the ages, not all matters involving corruption have a lot of troublesome chain reactions in the end, maybe the Kang family will also be involved in it.

It's just that these two children bear a bloody feud, if he refuses, maybe they will flee overnight, and then go to find someone they think they can entrust.

Although these two children have courage, their minds are too naive and their actions are not thoughtful.Let them go out like this and continue to run wild, and it is very likely that they will die in the hands of those who want to.

"Third Miss, please help us, please?" Zhong Ming kowtowed, tears streaming down his face.

Jin Shu pondered for a moment, and finally came up with a plan: "I can help you, but you have to agree to one condition."

Hearing that Jin Shu agreed to help, Zhong Ming hurriedly said, "What's the condition? As long as the third girl asks, I will definitely go through fire and water, and I will do whatever I want."

"The two of you sold yourself to the Zhao Mansion to sign a life contract. I want you two to sign a death contract for me, and I will use it for the rest of my life."

The deed of living is still a benefactor on the household registration.There will be opportunities for imperial examinations in the future.But once the death contract is signed and the master submits it to the government office of the household department, he will enter the lowest slave status, and there will be no chance of turning over for the rest of his life.

Even if he ran away, he would have nothing to do but be a servant for the rest of his life.

What she said was to destroy the lower half of herself and her sister!

Considering the price was too high, Zhong Ming's eager eyes turned cold.

Seeing his hesitation, Jin Shu smiled and said, "So you're hesitating? If you can't do this, what's the point of revenge?"

Zhong Ming couldn't deny it when he was so excited, so he could only brag and cry: "I am wronged for my parents, and I am willing to sell myself as a slave. It's just that my sister is young... I want to discuss it with her, and I don't want to rush to do it for her." She calls the shots."

Jin Shu felt that the child was considerate of her sister, so she nodded and agreed: "Then you go. After signing these two death contracts, you will be mine for the rest of your life. If you disagree, I will definitely take it." Let’s find someone to seek justice for this thing.”

"Miss San, I would like to ask, if we were slaves to you, would you let us do anything unreasonable?" Zhong Ling was about to step out of the room, but suddenly stopped in his tracks.Turning to look at Jin Shu.

Jin Shu sneered: "Since you signed a death contract, even if I reward you with poisoned wine, you have to do it, and ask me if I did something bad?"

Zhong Ming's complexion changed drastically when he heard this, he never expected that the young Zhao Jinshu had such vicious thoughts.

Seeing the disdain in his eyes, Jin Shu waved her hand: "Go out, come and tell me the result at this time tomorrow. If you don't come, I will treat you as giving up on this matter, and I will definitely escort you to the government to report over this."

Stealing chickens is not enough to lose money!This is forcing himself to be a slave to her, and whether he agrees or not is already in her hands.

Zhong Ming's eyes were full of hatred, and he walked out of the room quickly.

Jin Shu watched him go away, and shook her head, such a child who can't control his temper, if he meets a cunning and corrupt official, he will simply give his head away.

The next day, dusk.

Jin Shu waited in the room for a long time, but did not see the two brothers and sisters. She wondered in her heart, could she have run away overnight?

Just lowering her head and thinking about how to deal with this matter, she didn't want two timid figures to enter Jinshu's room.

Jin Shu looked at the two of them, and asked softly, "Have you guys thought it through?"

Zhong Ming looked worried.Did not speak.

Zhong Ling knelt on the ground first, and bowed to Jinshu: "Miss San, we agree to what you said."

"Since that's the case, you should sign the death contract now." Jin Shu took out the things she had prepared a long time ago and threw them at their feet.

Zhong Ming saw that Jinshu had already prepared the death contract, and threw this thing to himself so contemptuously, and was furious: "Seeing that you didn't do well for us in the Kang Judgment, why should you sign this thing?" ?"

Jin Shu sneered: "Then how can I be sure that you will sign this thing again after meeting Kang Ting? I still want to tell you. Even if you sign, I can only guarantee that you can see Kang Ting, but will he help you?" , is up to him to decide."

Zhong Ming was furious, wishing he could tear Jin Shu apart.

On the other hand, Zhong Ling could hold her breath, knelt there and meditated for a long time, and took a breath: "Third Miss, I'll sign it now!"

Zhong Ming quickly stopped her: "Ling'er, if she cheats on us, our life will be over."

Zhong Ling's eyes were slightly moist, and he persuaded him: "Brother, you have been in Bianjing for so long, don't you understand? Even in this place where a brick can fall and hit an official, there is no one who is willing to stand up for us People. I don't want my parents to die in vain, I will try anyway."

Hearing the resoluteness in Zhong Ling's words, Jin Shu couldn't help but give this girl a high look, she was more insightful than her brother.

No matter what Zhong Ming thought, Zhong Ling had already borrowed a brush from Jin Shu, signed her name, and pressed her fingerprints.

"Brother, hurry up!"

Zhong Ming was still hesitant, which made Zhong Ling's eyes reddened, and he urged: "You are a man, why are you so twitchy! What is more important than revenge for your parents!"

Zhong Ming couldn't see that his sister looked down on him, so he finally took the paper on the ground to sign.

Zhong Ling tidied up the death deeds of the two brothers and sisters, and presented them to Jin Shu with both hands.

Jin Shu took it, checked it carefully, and saw that there was nothing wrong with it, so she put away the two prostitution contracts.

Seeing that she was idle, Zhong Ling asked, "Miss San, when can we see Judgment Kang?"

"tomorrow!"

The two brothers and sisters did not expect to come so soon, and they were happy, but they were at a loss for fear that Kang Ting would refuse.

Jinshu ordered Zhong Ming: "You go directly to ask the eldest lady for leave later, and say that your aunt is critically ill and you have to go back to take care of the sick. At the beginning of the hour, the sedan chair from Kang's mansion will come to pick me up outside the door. After we walk for a while, Just follow up and say that you are here to serve me with my pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and those bearers will not stop you."

Zhong Ming remembered what Jinshu said just now, but then he thought of something and asked her: "I just came to the mansion and asked for leave soon, will the eldest lady agree?"

"Oh. She is a well-known Living Bodhisattva in this house, how could she not agree? And I want you to act like you are desperate. If she helps you, you must pretend to be grateful and willing to go through fire and water for her."

There are few people in the Zhao family, so if Yu wants to make trouble, he needs a few more of his own cronies.Now that Zhong Ming is following the master, Zhong Ling is taking care of the girl in her yard, so she is naturally the one Yu Shi wants to win over, so if Zhong Ming wants something, she will definitely pretend to be a good person and buy people's hearts.

Hearing Jinshu's confession, Zhong Ming guessed that he wanted to inconvenience the eldest lady.

Thinking of the gentleness and kindness on the eldest lady's face when she first met her.Looking at Jin Shu's treacherous appearance, this person is indeed a treacherous person.

Seeing the contempt cast in Zhong Ming's eyes, Jin Shu straightened her face and reprimanded him: "You gave me this look! Don't have any bad intentions for me, or I will sell your sister to Goulan Washe Medium. With such a pretty face, she must be able to sell for a good price!"

Jin Shu was cruel to them, mainly for the sake of establishing her prestige, lest they do whatever they want and refuse to listen to her greetings.

Zhong Ling was taken aback for a moment, never expecting Jinshu to be so cruel at such a young age.

Zhong Ming clenched his teeth and said bitterly, "If you dare, I will kill you with my own hands."

Jin Shu didn't care about the cruelty in his eyes, she just smiled and warned him: "You can try! If you do anything wrong to me, your sister will bear the brunt of it!"

"you you??"

Jinshu looked at him hesitating and unable to hold back a word, then turned her head and told Zhong Ling: "Zhong Ling, since you are serving in the big lady's yard, you help me keep an eye on her on weekdays! If there is anything unusual about her, you must promptly Come and tell me. If I find you hiding, I have plenty of ways to deal with you two!"

Although she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, Jinshu felt that she must be very much like a procuress admonishing those new hot girls.

There is no way, people are not ruthless enough, and things are unstable!

Since these two will stay in the mansion in the future, why not make the best use of them.

"Zhong Ming, go and bring me the book case." Jin Shu didn't care how the two of them relied on themselves, and directly called them out.

Although Zhong Ming had a dark face, he still walked towards the place pointed by Jinshu, took down the book case, and handed it to Jinshu.

Jinshu put all her pen, ink, paper and inkstone into it, and handed it to Zhong Ming: "Tomorrow, you put all the evidence and the books of the people collected by your father into it, look normal, don't It was seen as suspicious."

finished ordering.They sent the two out.

According to Jinshu's plan, Zhong Ming followed Jinshu into Kang's mansion smoothly.

"Now you go to the servant's resting room and wait until our lectures are over, and I will introduce you to him alone." Jin Shu repeatedly asked, for fear that this man would lose his temper and get upset.

"understood."

Zhong Ming knew that this matter was not a joke, and might affect Kang Ting's family, so he obeyed Jin Shu's orders.

Jin Shu nodded, took the pen and ink from the bookcase, and walked leisurely towards the wing where Kang Ting was teaching.

As usual, Kang Ting was next to Wanru explaining the medical theory to her, while Jin Shu was practicing calligraphy alone, still practicing the same ancient "Ancient Innocence".

Kang Ting would often walk behind Jinshu, and when she was not paying attention, he would secretly glance at her to see how the writing was going. Sometimes he smiled secretly, and sometimes he blushed.

Sometimes he really doesn't like the "earthworms" under Jin Shu's hands, so he lets Wanru read the book by himself, while he kneels behind Jin Shu, holds her hand, and teaches her how to complete the word stroke by stroke.

Jin Shu likes this kind of time the most.

Just like today, he quickly understood what Kang Ting said, and seeing that it was still early, he begged Kang Ting to guide his piano skills.

Jin Shu doesn't know how to taste the piano, she only knows whether the melody is good or not, but seeing Wan Ru begging Kang Ting so much, she knows that Kang Ting's piano skills must be extraordinary, otherwise Wan Ru would never use such a slapstick method.

Thinking of this, Jinshu took another sneak look at Kang Ting who was standing above her, with a sneaky smile on her face.

In a short while, there was a brisk piano sound in the originally quiet courtyard, and through the window, one could see Yanran sitting on the right playing the piano with a smile on her face, Kang Ting was painting on it with a warm face, and Jin Shu lowered her head seriously. Practice calligraphy next to you.

Accompanied by the rustling leaves outside the window, the years are quiet.

After sending Wanru out of Kang's mansion, Jinshu turned back and saw that Kang Ting was still concentrating on painting, and walked quietly behind him.

She suddenly had a mischievous idea, and stretched out her little hand to gently cover his eyes.

Faced with this sudden weirdness, Kang Ting slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and without any resistance, he just let her continue to behave like this.

It's just that this girl has never been able to use common sense to infer, she just kept covering her eyes like this, and said nothing.

Kang Ting smiled and asked her: "Girl, you are asking. I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

When Jin Shu covered his eyes, she really didn't think about asking any questions, she just wanted to do it suddenly.

She asked casually, "Guess if there is any fish to eat tonight?"

Feeling the heat from that little hand, Kang Ting smiled even more happily: "Don't guess, there are. I have breakfast today, and I listened to my mother telling the maid to buy perch."

Jin Shu felt that the conversation was too boring, so she remembered the matter of Zhong Ming, and said, "Uncle Kang, there is something more important to tell you."

"??"

Covering his hand, he still didn't intend to let go, Kang Ting really didn't think that what Jin Shu said was serious.

He helplessly pushed away Jinshu's paw, then turned to her and asked, "Speak."

Jin Shu smiled ingratiatingly, sat cross-legged next to Kang Ting, and then told him everything about the siblings.

Kang Ting listened quietly, unable to see what was going on in his heart.

After hearing the whole thing, he asked Jinshu seriously: "Do you want me to help them?"

Looking at Kang Ting's non-joking expression, Jin Shu felt that her position in his heart might not be what she expected the day before yesterday.If he said yes, maybe he really might abandon his principles and work hard for this matter.

With this conjecture, Jin Shu seemed to lose her mind, she wanted to prove her position in Kang Ting's heart: "Uncle Kang, do everything according to your ability. If it is difficult or you don't want to do it, you should do it well and do it for the two of us." Analyze the pros and cons of the matter clearly, and comfort the two of them to give up the idea of ​​revenge. In any case, the safety of the Kang family is the most important thing."

Hearing this, Kang Ting knew that Jin Shu wanted to help them, so he nodded, "Bring Zhong Ling here."

Afterwards, Jin Shu personally went to the servant's room, and asked Zhong Ming to come over with his things on his back.

Zhong Ming came to the room and kowtowed and kowtowed to Kang Ting, Kang Ting quickly helped him to the side, and said softly: "Zhong Ming, please tell me the whole story."

Jin Shu sat quietly at the side, listening to Zhong Mingsheng tearfully tell Kang Ting everything, and finally handed him all the evidence hidden in the book case and the Wanmin Book.

After Kang Ting took it and checked everything, Kang Ting fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Kang Ting said, "Zhong Ming, my father and I are inconvenient to intervene in the affairs of the former court due to the shackles of our official positions. The only thing I can do for you is to present these things to those who can manage this matter."

Zhong Ming wept with joy and knelt down to thank Kang Ting.

In the 25th year of Kunsheng, the corruption case of Kaiyang County, Shuyizhou Road, was submitted in front of the Yushi Zhongcheng Palace, and the relevant evidence and the Wanmin Letter were presented. The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.

In the 27th year of Kunsheng, the corruption case took two years and hundreds of officials were killed due to the deliberate fueling of the flames. However, the turmoil was still unsettled and more corruption incidents were involved. In the end, all the evidence pointed to the privy envoy of the court, and the emperor issued an order He punished the nine clans.The privy envoy knew that he could not escape death, so he confessed in front of the officials that the mastermind was the present prince, so the prince was deposed.

In the 29th year of Kunsheng, the matter of the crown prince made the emperor fearful, resulting in no owner of the East Palace. For a time, there was a dark wave of disputes among the kings. The most popular voices were King Xian and King Duan. Hou Hanhui.

It just so happened that the emperor stopped the five-year selection event this year, and Han Wanru had no chance to enter the palace. When the two kings learned of this, they went to Pingyuanhou's mansion at the same time to seek Wanru for their son. He made Zhao Mu, the eldest son of King Kang, his wife.

On the day Han Wanru got married, the sound of Shengxiao and Suona could be heard everywhere in Bianjing, firecrackers and red chips were all over the corners, what a majestic red makeup!

Everyone envies Ruan Ruo, who is easy to marry, but on the night of the wedding, she stayed alone in the vacant room and did not show favor.
