Chapter 11 The persimmons are gone

Ye Qingyou smiled.

Brother Wencheng is from Uncle Dong.

She was imprisoned in the courtyard by Yin Wenzhao. Uncle Dong was worried, so he took several detours and sent the two of them to Yin's house to work.

Because they were newcomers and not qualified to serve Princess Xi and Yin Wenzhao, they happened to take over the "hard job" of accompanying Ye Qingyou to the temple to offer incense, and the wheel was broken in advance.

Chuntang looked back from time to time, and when she saw that no one was following her, she was finally able to laugh with relief.I haven't felt so comfortable in a long time, and even the weeds on the roadside feel very fragrant.

Although Ye Qingyou really wanted to enjoy the scenery, she didn't climb the mountain by herself.Getting on Brother Wencheng's lifting pole was faster. After all, she didn't have much time and wanted to talk more with Uncle Dong.

The Zen room for the memorial ceremony has been prepared.

Ye Qingyou kowtowed to her mother without saying anything when she came in.Then he took the folded items and went to the backyard to burn them. Uncle Dong was already waiting here.

"Then the Yin family's dog thief is so inhuman, how could he treat my wife like this!"

Uncle Dong saw that her cheeks were thin, gray and dark. It was obvious that she had been suffering day and night and had a very difficult life.

Ye Qingyou looked at the scriptures that turned to dust in the furnace, "If you survive the catastrophe, your mother will protect you. Xia Ying should have told you that I will make peace with Yin Wenzhao until I die."

"She said it, and I support it, but why did you donate half of the dowry to King Luoning?"

Uncle Dong was so worried about this that he couldn't sleep at night and went to the mountain to wait for her early in the morning.

Ye Qingyou was stunned, "How did you know it was me who donated it?"

"How could I not know? It's 6000 taels. King Luoning ordered 2000 taels of medicinal materials at Wanshou Hall. Yesterday, together with the remaining silver, he orally rewarded it to the families of the soldiers who died in the battle at the military department."

"Then he told others that this silver was my dowry?!"

"It didn't say that."

Uncle Dong is also an old Jianghu. "I am very familiar with one of his lieutenants. I have been supplying medicinal materials to the palace for many years, so I listened to him talk a few words."

Ye Qingyou pursed her lower lip, "Our Wanshou Hall also supplies medicinal materials to Prince Luoning's Mansion?" She never knew?

"The accounts are based on appropriations from the Ministry of War."

Ye Qingyou understood, "No wonder." After all, when checking the accounts before, the words "Prince Luoning's Mansion" were not included in the entry.

But if King Luoning knows that she paid half of the dowry, is it obvious that Princess Xi told the truth?But why didn't King Luoning question her about her "fox pretending to be powerful"?Could it be that he really used money to eliminate disasters?
"Select the best medicinal materials and send them to the palace. After all, without King Luoning taking action, I really went to get together with my mother." Although she felt guilty, she was really grateful.

Uncle Dong nodded repeatedly, "What do you want to do in the future? Do you have any plans in mind?"

Ye Qingyou thought for a while, "I have to find out who pushed me into the trap, and the remaining half of the dowry cannot be just a note, and the Yin family owes me not even a copper penny!"

She couldn't just feed the 6000 tael IOU to a dog.

Uncle Dong also knew that someone was harming her, "I have asked Xia Shan to go door to door and keep an eye on her. There should be news soon."

"In addition, I will sell the three shops that the Yin family knows about later. Uncle Dong, please cooperate with Xia Ying to be the leader." Ye Qingyou doesn't want to be a cash cow anymore. The Yin family will continue to poach her after they calm down. bone.

Uncle Dong also had this suggestion, and the two briefly talked about it, and it was getting late.

Ye Qingyou was about to leave when the temple was suddenly surrounded.After asking the little novice monk carefully, I found out that a noble person came to the temple to offer incense to the ancestors!

"Who comes to the temple with such a big fanfare? We don't have much time." Chuntang was very worried. This was the first time that my wife left the Yin family after Princess Xi came in.If you go back too late, it will be difficult to figure it out later.Ye Qingyou did not expect such an accident, but regardless of whether they were humans or horses, they refused to enter or exit.

Ye Qingyou could only stay in the Zen room, have a vegetarian meal quietly with Uncle Dong, and then drink tea slowly.

Yu Wenyan was currently in the courtyard next to Ye Qingyou.

He offered incense to his benefactor very respectfully, knelt on the ground and kowtowed again.

Chen Jian was unusually serious and followed Yu Wenyan to finish the ceremony.Then he asked his men to carry the battered cow heads, horses and sheep, lit a fire and sent it over...

Yu Wenyan dusted off the dust on his robe and looked at the towering trees in the distance. "The autumn cold has come early this year. Let the Ministry of Household Affairs seize the time to allocate repair funds. The people who have been flooded in the mountains must resist the winter cold earlier."

"You came early? How could His Highness tell?" Chen Jian stood there and looked around, but he didn't feel any difference from previous years.

"Didn't you see that there are no fruits on the persimmon tree? They fall after frost." Yuwen Yan seemed to be looking at an idiot.

Chen Jian suddenly remembered that when he came last year, he asked his men to climb a tree and pick a basket.

"I'll call you after my subordinates return to the city." When it comes to people's livelihood and safety, Chen Jian doesn't dare to neglect at all.

Yu Wenyan looked away silently, remembering the taste of eating this kind of persimmon for the first time.

The taste was sweet and astringent, mixed with ice residue, and it was a little itchy when rubbed on my face, but I can't forget it after so many years.

"Shall we go? As soon as you arrived, the abbot sealed the temple. The pilgrims were either imprisoned inside or unable to enter from outside."

I don’t know how many filthy words were cursed in the street, but fortunately, he always warned the host not to expose King Luoning’s identity.

Yu Wenyan didn't want to move, but she had to leave. Even though her "benefactor" had been dead for many years, he didn't want outsiders to disturb her.

It came and went in a hurry, but more than half an hour passed.

When Ye Qingyou heard that the little novice monk could leave, she immediately asked Brother Wencheng to carry her down.

Chuntang, however, carried a basket of persimmons. "Fortunately, we have more time this time. I took the two brothers to harvest all the persimmon trees. It's a pity that it's not winter, so they can't be frozen, otherwise the lady will be able to eat them for a long time."

"Give some to the mothers-in-law later, and leave some for the family. Don't be stingy." Ye Qingyou was always generous in doing things, but Chuntang was very careful.

Although Chuntang was reluctant, she could only nod in agreement.

After being carried down the mountain by the Wencheng brothers, Ye Qingyou insisted on walking the last part of the way by herself.

The servants and wives who stayed at the bottom of the mountain were so full of food that they complained that they had stayed in the mountain for too long.

"Didn't you see any noble people sealing the road up the mountain? And the steps are so difficult to walk, so the lady has to rest while walking, right? If the carriage hadn't broken down halfway, the lady wouldn't have been so hard." Chun Tang took out the persimmons and put them away again. When she comes back, she would rather feed a dog to such a disrespectful person.

The mother-in-law and the servants took the money, babbled a few words and then shut up.

Everyone did not stop on their way back. Princess Xi and Yin Wenzhao did not return, so Ye Qingyou took Chun Tang back to the small courtyard.

In the evening, the mother-in-law came to deliver food, and Ye Qingyou asked Chuntang to share some persimmons with her.

The mother-in-law said while eating, "After my wife left today, the old lady's brother came again. He said that he had been arguing in the front yard for a long time before leaving. The old lady was so angry that she didn't even eat dinner! It's a pity that the princess is not here, otherwise she would have been able to It’s a good show!”
