Volume 2, Chapter 352: Crisis

When Dongming Ziyu was promoted and served wine, he also sent a message to Su Daru, but before Su Daru arrived, Dongming Ziyu used the two pots of precious ghost orchids as a return gift.

Su Daru was overjoyed when he received the orchids. He also knew what he meant. These two pots of orchids were valuable and rare. There was no need to be so expensive in return as a gift, so his attitude towards Chen Qingyun improved a lot.

Dongming Ziyu thought that he had done his best for his niece-in-law. Although he was the number one scholar with six consecutive prizes, he was not a teacher after all. Su Daru specialized in teaching and educating people. Maybe Chen Qingyun could understand his explanation better.

He saved time to teach a few men, summarized the Four Books and Five Classics into a mind map, and asked them to use the mind map to understand memory. He also searched for some questions from previous children's examinations in Beijing and asked them to do them.

Chen Qingyun, Erlang, Sanlang, and Shilang still went to school during the day, and Dalang studied by himself in the study. At night, they studied together in the study, and they did not go back to their own courtyard to live. At night, they slept in the room next to the study.

A mock examination room was set up in the yard, and they were given a mock examination once a month.

Everything at home is mainly about the exams of a few people. The front yard is quiet all day long. The servants walk and work quietly, trying not to make any noise.

The emperor knew that Dongming Ziyu had given Su Daru two pots of rare orchids. He was a little annoyed and tried to beat him with his words, "You gave Su Daru two pots of orchids? That old man must like it very much, right? That old man

I don’t know if you would give me a basin.”

Dongming Ziyu was speechless for a moment and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, you must be careful with the things around you. Ordinary people would not dare to offer anything to you."

The emperor said angrily: "Has my place become a dragon's pond and a tiger's den?"

Dongming Ziyu said seriously: "Longtan is real."

The emperor smiled, tapped him with his finger, and said: "You are naturally cold-faced, but you are good at talking."

Dongming Ziyu said: "Since the emperor likes it, don't wait for Su Daru to present it. Tomorrow I will bring in two pots that are exactly the same as Su Daru's."

The emperor smiled heartily, looked at him with a look that said, "I guess you know what's going on." He said, "It doesn't have to be exactly the same, just about the same."

Dongming Ziyu laughed and said, "Yes!"

It won't be long before he learns that his previous fears were correct.

Winter has arrived in the blink of an eye. It has been a year since the dock was developed, and the land beside the dock bought last year has more than quintupled. If he had waited another year, the increase would have been even greater. But Dongming Ziyu knows enough is enough.

Let Shuan Zhu and Dong Youliang make a trip and sell off all the land.

A big event also happened in the court. The prince's faction released the account books left by Xie Rucheng's grandfather, causing a huge stir. More than a dozen people from the Ministry of Revenue, from Zhong Shangshu to Lin Shilang to the stewards, were imprisoned.

This incident shocked the entire capital, the atmosphere on the streets became more solemn, and everyone who had some connections felt in danger.

Xie Wangcai often went out to buy things for the children in the small courtyard and delivered knitting products. He soon learned the news, stumbled and ran back and told Xie Rucheng.

After hearing the news, Xie Rucheng cried a lot and then asked: "Our family's revenge is about to be avenged. I wonder if Mr. Dong handed over the account book. Will it reverse the case for our family?"

Xie Wangcai said: "Then I will ask tomorrow?"

Xie Rucheng nodded with a solemn face. Although he signed a selling agreement with Mr. Dong and was already a slave, it was rare to be able to reverse the case for his grandfather and father and restore their reputations.

Xie Wangcai knew that Dongming Ziyu had to get up early to go to court, so he waited for him to go to the imperial office in the afternoon before going to the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion.

Dongming Ziyu met him in the side hall, and after he finished explaining his purpose, he said: "I gave the account book to the prince a long time ago, and the prince will not release it until the time is right. As for whether he will reverse the case for the Xie family, it is hard to say.

Although Xie Mingde left an account book to expose Zhong Shangshu, Lin Shilang and others, he was indeed involved in those things. The Xie family's unjust case was approved by the emperor and will not be completely overturned. The best result is to make amends and forgive.

Xie Rucheng, who escaped the disaster."

The worst outcome is to continue to pursue the responsibility and bring Xie Rucheng to justice, who slipped through the net.

Xie Wangcai had also been a housekeeper in an official's family for many years. He immediately thought of this and said, "Forget it, I won't overturn the case."

Feeling a little disappointed in my heart, I left the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion with my head drooping.

He came out from the corner door where the servants came, and he didn't want to cause any trouble to Dongming Ziyu at this juncture. He used to be the steward of the Xie family, and many people in the capital knew him.

He didn't go to the main street, but to the alley. The smoke from the cooking pots was curling up, and the lanterns came on, which made him feel even more desolate.

Suddenly, someone shouted: "Prosperity!"

Xie Wangcai turned around reflexively in a trance and saw a middle-aged man dressed as a servant, who was the chief steward of Lin Shilang's house. In the past, they often interacted with each other when the two houses moved around.

When the chief steward saw the enemy who killed his father, he shouted: "The murderer of the court! Catch him! Catch the murderer of the court!"

This area is full of official residences, and servants and guards rushed out immediately.
