Dressed as a wealthy and rebellious son, his stepmother

As evening approached, Shu Wan sent Caiyun to Shu Ying to get money.

Probably in a hurry to send Shu Wan away, Shu Ying was very generous and collected nearly 5,000 taels of silver and some gold jewelry for Shu Wan.

In today's dynasty, 10 taels of silver is almost the annual expenditure of an ordinary family, and taels of silver is almost all the money Shu Ying has.

It really cost a lot of money.

Shu Wan took out one hundred taels from the box and handed it to Caiyun, "These are for you."

Caiyun was stunned. The government government would give her half a tael of silver a month. She had to save these 100 taels without eating or drinking for decades. She had never seen so much money.

"Miss, do you want to drive me away?" Caiyun knelt down in front of Shu Wan, "Did this slave do something wrong?"

"No, this money is for you." Shu Wan raised her hand, "Get up first, I have something to tell you."

Caiyun stood up quickly, "Miss, please tell me."

Shu Wan did not explain the matter first, but looked at Caiyun, "I'm going to participate in the draft."

"It should have been like this a long time ago!" Caiyun was really happy for her young lady, "Miss, you finally figured it out."

"I need a loyal maid," Shu Wan looked into Caiyun's eyes quietly, with a sense of oppression. She also spoke quite directly, "Just listen to me."

Caiyun has been bought by Shu Mansion since she was 5 years old. Although she has never read a book, she is good at getting things done. When she heard Shu Wan say this, she immediately understood what Shu Wan meant.

Caiyun knelt down in front of Shu Wan, "I have been following the eldest lady since I was 8 years old. Of course I will only be loyal to the eldest lady."

"Okay." Shu Wan pushed the pile of silver in front of Caiyun, "You accept these first as a reward. I have something to tell you."

"Thank you, Miss, for the reward!"

No matter how much you say, it's not as real as the money in vain. The nearly twenty years of salary reward immediately made Caiyun understand who can bring benefits to her.

Shu Wan whispered a few words to Caiyun, "Do you understand?"

"Miss, you"

Caiyun originally wanted to ask Shu Wan why she was doing this, but Shu Wan glanced at her and she immediately understood that Shu Wan didn't like others talking too much.

"Okay, Miss, I will do everything you say."

"Well, let's go."

After Caiyun left, Shu Wan went to the study to write a letter and then handed it to the boy, "Go to the east of the city and give this to Yuan Li."

"Yes, Miss."

The moon is rising above the willow trees, and the night market on Huique Street is beginning to become lively.

After Qi Yuan ascended the throne, in order to stimulate production, business controls were relaxed, and even the curfew was relaxed a lot.

At this time, the night market opens, and the streets are gradually crowded with people coming to see the light show.

The folk customs are open, and boys and girls are also letting their restless hearts fly under the cover of night.

Queqiao, in the west of the city, has always been a place where spring blossoms.

At the end of the bridge stood a girl wearing a plum red and gold embroidered skirt. The breeze blew, her hairpin swaying slightly, and the mere sight of her back made people yearn for her.

A scholar in a green shirt came from the street. The moment he saw the girl's back, his eyes lit up. He waved his fan and read a poem while walking towards the girl.

"What a charming girl. She touches her lips lightly and lightly wipes her cheeks. We meet under the flowers and walk around in a hurry to avoid being guessed. She left her bow and small embroidered shoes and cut her socks again. Half a dark cloud has a golden phoenix hairpin. We laugh and hug each other as we walk. , I have always been too coquettish and infatuated."

As the scholar reads, the girl's back trembles slightly, like a weak willow supporting the wind, she is so beautiful.

"Sister Wan, I haven't missed you for a long time and you want to hurt me."

Lin Yu walked to the girl's side, feeling affectionate, but what he saw was a face covered with a veil, and the facial features could not be seen clearly.

"Sister Wan, why are you still covering your face?"

"I feel the cold." The girl spoke with a strange voice.

The girl was wearing a familiar heirloom jade pendant. Lin Yu would not doubt it, "Is it serious? Why don't the Shu family take good care of you? If I were by your side, I would rather stay up at night and stand by the bed to shield you from the wind. You will definitely not catch the cold."

Caiyun followed Shu Wan's instructions and pretended to be Shu Wan to have a tryst with Lin Yu. The sour poem just now almost made her lose her power. Now that she heard Lin Yu's words, she couldn't hold it in anymore.

Although the Shu family was not a wealthy family, it was still a county magistrate's family. There were still charcoal fires and silk quilts in winter, so there was no need for Lin Yu to stay up at night and stand by the bed to block the wind.

The more Caiyun thought about it, the more funny it became, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Wanmei, what are you laughing at?" Lin Yu was confused.

"I'm very happy to see you, sir."

"So that's it." Lin Yu was very proud that the county magistrate's daughter could be so attracted to him, "I will make you happier in the future."

"I trust you, sir."

"Sister Wan." Lin Yu's eyes fell on Caiyun's exposed snow-white neck, "Let's find a quiet place to talk. We haven't seen each other for many days and we miss each other for a long time."

Caiyun almost couldn't hold back the goosebumps on her body, "Okay, sir."

Lin Yu led the people to go under the bridge, which was a relatively closed corner. The noisy people were isolated in the distance, leaving only the sound of running water.

Lin Yu is now 22, and men of his age have already started a family.

And because his family was poor, no matter how many impulses he accumulated, he had no outlet to pour them out.

At this moment, the girl Xinxiang was right in front of him, and Lin Yu felt a fire burning in his heart. He pulled Caiyun's sleeve and said, "Wangmei,"

In Caiyun's eyes, Lin Yu was just like a prodigal. She kept thinking about the one hundred taels given by Shu Wan so she didn't throw Lin Yu away.

"Sir," Caiyun shouted tenderly, and half of Lin Yu's body went numb.

Not far away, fireworks exploded in the sky, and crowds of people surged on the street, as if many people were coming here.

Lin Yu reached out and took Caiyun's arm, "Bring me to my sister"

Silent emotions rose between the two of them, and the temperature seemed to be getting higher and higher on the spring night.

Lin Yu took Caiyun into his arms little by little. Just when he lowered his head and wanted to make further moves, a bright light suddenly shone on the two of them from top to bottom.

"Who is here?! Come out!"

After a sharp shout, a guard came down and forcibly took Lin Yu and Caiyun up.

Lin Yu tried to resist, but how could he, a weak scholar, defeat the guards?

"You are so presumptuous!!" Lin Yu scolded the guards, "This is the eldest daughter of Magistrate Shu's family!"

After hearing the shocking gossip, everyone on the bridge immediately came over.

"Don't talk nonsense." The officer looked straight at Lin Yu, "Magistrate Shu is famous for his strict family management. Why would his daughter have a secret meeting with you here?!"

"That's right, the eldest lady of the Shu family was selected for the draft. How could she be here? This person must be a liar."

When everyone's words fell on Lin Yu's ears, he immediately started to make plans.

Originally, he planned to take Shu Wan away and wait until the draft was over before bringing her back to admit his mistake to Magistrate Shu.

Now that it has been discovered, it is better to take advantage of the situation and make a big fuss. An official girl who is having a tryst with someone will definitely not be able to participate in the draft. And even though people's customs are more open now, no one is willing to marry a woman with a bad reputation.

At that time, Magistrate Shu may have no choice but to marry Shu to him.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu stretched out his hand and pulled off the jade pendant from Shu Wan's waist, "This is the heirloom jade pendant of the Shu family. It is the same as the one worn by County Magistrate Shu all year round. As the jade pendant proves it, do you still want to embarrass us?"

The servant took the jade pendant, glanced at it briefly and concluded, "It is indeed the jade pendant of the Shu family. It turns out to be the eldest lady of the Shu family. We were the ones who offended her."

At this time, several more people came to the bridge. Shu Ying, who was dressed in pearls and emeralds, walked through the crowd and looked at the bridge from a distance, "What are you doing? This is my sister, please step aside."

If the jade pendant alone could not determine the identity just now, now with Shu Ying, everyone can be sure that the person secretly having a tryst with the man under the bridge is Shu Wan, the eldest daughter of the Shu family.

"Isn't Shu Wan going to the draft? Now I have a private meeting with a man, and I definitely can't participate in it anymore."

"It's so shameless. The noble lady is having an affair with a scholar here without a matchmaker. It really insults the reputation of Magistrate Shu."

Everyone was talking about it, and the guards were preparing to let Shu Wan and Lin Yu go.

There are so many people gathered in Queqiao tonight, and there is no need to wait until tomorrow for the news that Shu Wan, the eldest daughter of the Shu County magistrate's family, had a private meeting with a man will spread throughout Shangnan County.

At this moment, a sweet voice suddenly sounded from behind the crowd, "Second sister, what are you talking about?"

Shu Ying turned around in surprise and saw Shu Wan standing at the bridge with a smile on her face.

Shu Wan was already well-known as a beauty. Before coming here, Shu Wan specially put on makeup that suited Shu Wan's appearance and fit her age and temperament.

Moreover, ancient lights were not that bright, and had a soft light effect.

The moonlight and the lanterns reflected each other, and Shu Wan stood there with a smile on her face. She was so beautiful that she was breathtaking and otherworldly. Everyone present was shocked for a moment.

It took a long time before everyone came back to their senses. Shu Wan was standing here. Who was under the bridge?

"Sister." Shu Ying could barely hold on to the smile on her face, "Why are you here?"

"My maid is having an affair with someone, so of course I have to come."

"What?" Shu Ying's face changed, "Sister, that Lin"

"Here comes Caiyun. He is having an affair with someone. He will be dealt with according to family rules. He will be taken away and sold directly."

After Shu Wan finished speaking, several servants walked out from behind her and brought Caiyun up from under the bridge.

Lin Yu also came up. The moment he saw Shu Wan, Lin Yu's eyes widened. He pointed at Caiyun and was about to say something when someone tapped him on his waist. He was immediately speechless.

"Please forgive me, Miss. I was confused for a moment."

Caiyun knelt in front of Shu Wan and begged loudly for mercy.

"According to law, you should be a sinker, but I think you are still young, so you should sell it."

As Shu Wan spoke, she motioned to the people behind her to take Caiyun away, but Shu Ying couldn't stop her in time.

"This man not only ruined my reputation, but also deceived my maid from the Shu family. My father will be out for the next few days, so please send your elder brother to take him into custody first."

"Yes, Miss Shu."

Just because of Lin Yu, everyone almost became an accomplice in ruining Shu Wan's reputation. If County Magistrate Shu knew about this, he would not be able to punish them severely when he came back.

Therefore, everyone immediately looked at Lin Yu with disgust. The guards stepped forward and took Lin Yu away.

Bagua didn't see it, but Beauty did. The crowd watching the excitement still gathered around the bridge and refused to leave.

"I wasted everyone's time," Shu Wan smiled at everyone, "I asked the mansion to make some pastries. They are over there. You can go and try them."

The county magistrate's pastries were very attractive to people, and everyone went to the street one after another.

After a while, there were not many people left on the bridge.

At this time, Shu Ying came over with a gloomy face and said, "Sister, didn't I make all the arrangements? Are you regretting it?"

"Fortunately, I asked Caiyun to deliver the message to Mr. Lin first. If it had been me just now, I would have brought shame to the Shu family, and you wouldn't be able to get married, sister."

Shu Ying was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"If I were accused of having an affair, do you think those wealthy families would still let their sons marry you?"

Only then did Shu Ying react, and she suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

Yes, as Shu Wan's eldest sister, if her reputation for bad conduct spreads, she wouldn't have to find a good family in Shangnan County.

"Forget it, tonight is indeed not a good opportunity." Thinking of Lin Yu being captured, Shu Ying suddenly became anxious again, "But you have to get someone to rescue Mr. Lin quickly. He was arrested because of you."

"Of course I will save you, don't worry."

"Then you will still go with Mr. Lin, right?"

"of course."

"it is good."

Shu Ying was relieved to see that Shu Wan's expression didn't look like she was faking it, and was still as innocent and confused as before.

Shu Wan was not sent away tonight, and County Magistrate Shu would be back tomorrow, so the probability of sending her away was much smaller. Shu Ying had to come back quickly and think of a solution.

So, after returning to the house, Shu Ying found an excuse and returned to her yard.

Shu Wan walked back slowly, and soon a boy came over to report, "Miss, I have sent the person to Mr. Li's side according to your instructions."

"Yeah." Shu Wan nodded, "Go ahead."

After the boy left, Shu Wan retreated from everyone and sat alone by the lake admiring the moon.

Who by the river saw the moon for the first time? When did Jiang Yue shine on people? Life is endless from generation to generation, and the moon and river look alike every year.

She had seen this moon before thousands of years later.

But at that time, when she was admiring the moon, she had never felt lonely because Fu Siyu was always with her.

She didn't know how she left, nor did she know if another soul had taken over her body in the same way after she left.

Everything is unknown, but she knows that her departure will make Fu Siyu and Fu Yang sad.

Under the moonlight, Shu Wan's eyes flashed with sparkle. In this empty and dark ancient night, she missed Fu Siyu and Fu Yang.

Twenty-first century, Imperial Manor, seven o'clock in the morning.

Fu Siyu opened his eyes, turned his head and kissed Shu Wan on the forehead. Seeing that Shu Wan was still sleeping peacefully, Fu Siyu stood up on his own.

These days, Fu Siyu and Fu Yang often play basketball in the morning, and they did the same this morning.

The father and son played basketball for an hour before returning to the living room for dinner. On the way back, knowing that Shu Wan liked it, the father and son went to the garden and picked a whole basket of bright, delicate and fragrant flowers.

When they arrived in the living room, they didn't see Shu Wan. Usually at this time, she had already gone downstairs to prepare for dinner.

"The young lady is probably tired from the vigil last night and is still sleeping now."

"It's okay, let's eat first and let her sleep a little longer."

"Ok."
