MTL - My Beloved Concubine Only Wants to Eat Melons-Chapter 38

After a brief understanding of the situation with the system, Yan Shu said to her mother, "It seems that you have something on your mind. Could it be that you and your father don't treat me as your own family after I have been away from home for three years? Why don't you tell me anything happened at home? .”

Mrs. Zhu was stunned for a moment, and seeing the angry look on her daughter's face, she sighed, "I don't think you are my own family, it's clear that your father didn't ask me to tell, he said he was afraid that you would get angry if you found out, and if you were not careful Tell His Majesty to know that you have provoked the wrath, and it will not be good if you are involved."

Yan Shu deliberately asked, "Did you get angry? Could it be that you guys did something wrong?"

Mrs. Zhu looked aggrieved, "How dare we? I'm afraid it's because we are too honest that people bully us."

Yan Shu then said, "Since that's the case, what's there to be afraid of His Majesty's anger? Do you think His Majesty is a fool..."

"Little ancestor, how can you talk nonsense?"

Mrs. Zhu hurriedly covered her mouth in fright, and said, "It's done, I don't care about your father anymore. In fact, it was Tianrui who caused trouble in that Songhe Academy—a few people bullied him because he was from out of town , deliberately imitating him to tease him, Tianrui ignored them, but they tore up his books directly. You know, what Tianrui values ​​​​most is books, so he couldn't hold back his hands with them for a while, Tianrui If he is taller, the other party probably doesn't take advantage of his short stature, so he went to complain to the head of the mountain, asking Tianrui to bow his head and admit his mistake, otherwise he will be kicked out of the academy."

Yan Shu raised her eyebrows, "Riko apologized that day?"

Zhu sighed, "It's not like you don't know that brat's temper, so you went home so angry on the spot, you haven't been to the academy for three days."

Yan Shu said, "Tianrui is good, he has backbone! This matter is not his fault, if he apologizes, he will be bullied even more."

Mrs. Zhu sighed, "That's what I said, but what should I do now? Doesn't he go to the academy in the future? It's the best academy in the capital, and there are not many people in Qingzhou who can go to it."

Yan Shu hurriedly comforted her mother, "The capital city is big, besides this academy, there are other academies. I just heard that this academy has a false name and it's not good. You and Dad don't worry, I'll find another one for Tianrui. "

Hearing what my daughter said, Zhu Shi was still a little worried, "Your father didn't ask me to tell you because he was afraid of getting you into trouble."

Yan Shu smiled and said, "Father was bullied so much because he was too honest. You go back and tell him that I am still a concubine now, but my younger brother has been bullied like this. If it spreads out, where will I save my face?" ?”

Mrs. Zhu nodded, and finally relieved her sorrow a little, and sighed, "I'm going to tell you that I feel much better, otherwise I would almost suffocate to death."

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something, hurriedly took out the bag that he brought with him, and said, "Look at my memory, I just made some vegetable boxes for you at home, and I almost forgot to take them out."

As he spoke, he took out another bagful of hot and delicious food just like last time.

Vegetable box?

Yan Shu's eyes lit up, "That's great, I've been wanting to eat a vegetable box for the past two days, my mother and I really have a heart-to-heart connection."

As he said that, he quickly took it and started eating immediately.

Well, the vegetable box stuffed with chives and eggs, there are crushed vermicelli inside, and some shrimp skins are added, it is the most delicious, and she has eaten it in a blink of an eye.

Zhu said with a smile, "Look at what you eat, if you don't know, it's better than the imperial meal!"

"It's just delicious,"

Yan Shu smiled and nodded, "The big buns you made last time, even Your Majesty praised them as delicious."

"what?"

Zhu Shi looked surprised, "Your Majesty also ate the buns I made?"

Yan Shu nodded, and showed her mother a palm, "I ate five of them at once."

Zhu Shi opened his mouth wide.

It turns out that His Majesty can eat so much!

Tsk, it seems that next time I enter the palace, if there is anything to eat, I must cook more.

Yan Shu ate three vegetable boxes in a row in front of her mother, and seeing that it was getting late, Mrs. Zhu left the palace.

She thought about it, asked Liandong to take a food box, put three food boxes in it, and then went out, carrying it to Qianming Palace.

Not long after, the king in the imperial study smelled the aroma of the vegetable box.

"This is a vegetable box made by my concubine's mother. I just brought it when I entered the palace. If Your Majesty doesn't mind, please try it."

Yu Wenlan looked at the vegetable box, then at Yan Shu who was smiling all over her face, raised her eyebrows and said, "Why are you so generous this time, and you took the initiative to send it to me?"

Yan Shu tried her best to smile sincerely, "The concubine always thinks of His Majesty first when she eats something delicious."

But he said in his heart, 【It’s better to take the initiative to bring it to you than to eat it by yourself. There are still four left in the temple. 】

Yu Wenlan, "..."

He just knew it.

However, the vegetable box looks golden in color and exudes a simple fresh fragrance, which is indeed somewhat attractive.

It happened that he was also a little hungry, so he picked up one and ate it, and asked casually, "Did you have a good chat with your mother just now?"

Yan Shu said, "Very good, thank you for your concern."

But he said in his heart, [What a fart, I didn’t even know my brother was bullied like this without seeing my mother! 】

Yu Wenlan, "???"

She didn't wait to ask again, but heard her say angrily again, 【This capital city can't tolerate honest people at all, what kind of **** Songhe Academy, **** Shanzhang, let me see if I won't kill you! 】

Yu Wenlan, "..."

Songhe Academy?

He vaguely remembered that the last time her father brought her younger brother to visit him, he seemed to have mentioned that her younger brother was going to study in Songhe Academy.

Listen to this... Could it be that the boy was bullied in the academy?

He then tried to say, "If there is anything, you can tell me."

Unexpectedly, she shook her head as if nothing had happened, and said, "The concubine is fine, your majesty will eat first, and the concubine will go back to write the script, and I will show it to your majesty after it is written."

But he said in his heart, [When I write out the crimes of that scumbag for you, you will be angry too! ! 】

Yu Wenlan, "..."

It was the first time I saw her so angry.

He didn't dare to ask any more questions for a moment, so he nodded and watched her leave.

However, his curiosity came, and after thinking about it, he recruited Jin Yiwei.

~~

About half an hour later, Jin Yiwei, who had gone out to investigate, came back to report to the king.

"Your Majesty, it turned out that Mr. Li was bullied in the academy because of his status as a foreigner. The other party saw that he was knowledgeable and quick, and became jealous for a while, so he deliberately played tricks and tore up his book. Mr. Li was so angry that he counterattacked twice, and now he is being bullied. The head of the academy mountain ordered him to go home and reflect on himself."

What?

Yu Wenlan almost thought she heard it wrong, "Has he been bullied? He was ordered to go home?"

Jin Yiwei said, "Because the bullying party is Jiang Mingzhi, the grandson of Marquis Wuyang, but Mr. Li didn't reveal his identity when he entered the school. The academy thought he was a commoner, so he was dealt with like this."

Yu Wenlan almost laughed angrily, "Civilians are going to be bullied? A place that reads well has become such a powerful place."

It's strange that Yan Shu became so angry just now.

He thought for a while, and said, "Ask the Metropolitan Procuratorate to send someone to see what's going on in that academy."

Jin Yiwei should be.

~~

But when Mrs. Zhu returned home, she hurriedly told her husband and son what her daughter had said.

"Shu'er said that this matter is not Tianrui's fault, so we don't need to be afraid, she will find another academy for Tianrui."

Uncle Zhongyi Li Huaizhi said, "How can she find an academy for Tianrui in the palace? Besides, the gentleman from Qingzhou spent a lot of effort to find favors for us. If he left so easily, wouldn't it be a waste of his efforts ?”

Zhu said, "Then what should we do? Do we have to ask Tianrui to confess his mistakes to them and be humiliated?"

Li Huaizhi thought for a while, then simply said to his son, "Let's go, Dad will accompany you there again today, to see if we can talk things over with them."

Li Tianrui should be, so he went out with his father.

Li Huaizhi is an extremely principled person, even though he went to the academy in person, he still did not reveal his identity as an earl.

Therefore, after waiting outside the door for an entire hour, he finally saw the mountain chief Bi Jinghuai who didn't want to come to see him.

Li Huaizhi planned to say something good, first saluted the other party, and said, "The dog is straightforward by nature. Although he is stubborn, he will not do excessive things. The mountain chief must have misunderstood this matter. Please ask the mountain chief to check. Clear right and wrong, tell Quanzi to go back to study."

Unexpectedly, the seemingly elegant mountain chief smiled and said, "Your Excellency has just come to the capital after all. I think your son is talented. I listened to the old man's persuasion and went to confess my mistake to those classmates. If they forgive, You can naturally come back to study, otherwise, you may not be able to stay in this academy."

Li Tianrui was so angry that he couldn't help but said, "Father, I don't want to read this book anymore, let's go home."

Let's see, so what if dad comes? This mountain leader is still so biased, it doesn't make sense at all!

"Mr. Li wait a moment."

Just as he finished speaking, he saw a man in his forties coming from outside.

Seeing the astonishment of the Li family father and son, the man took the initiative to explain, "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I was ordered by Ling'ai to come here to find out about your son."

After all, Li Huaizhi has just arrived here, and he doesn't know much about the court officials, so he can only nod his head at this time, and said, "Your Excellency, thank you."

The other party nodded, and then said to the head of the mountain, Bi Jinghuai, "Just now I have understood with several students of the academy, since the other party disrespected Mr. Li first, tore up the book and dragged it with his hands, it is reasonable for Mr. Li to fight back. As the head of a house, you should distinguish right from wrong, appease the aggrieved, and punish the perpetrators. Otherwise, how can you teach and educate people?"

As soon as these words came out, the mountain chief Bi Jinghuai looked at him quietly.

Although he has a good temperament, he is really unfamiliar, and he doesn't seem to be a member of the officialdom.

Bi Jinghuai smiled and said, "Your Excellency probably came to Beijing from other places for food. The capital is full of dignitaries, which is different from other places. A random student from my academy may be a prince's son."

The other party asked inexplicably, "Even so, what does it have to do with this matter? The prince broke the law and the common people are guilty of the same crime. Could it be that just because the perpetrator has a different identity, can you turn black and white?"

Bi Jinghuai laughed again, "It's not that I'm confusing black and white. There's a saying that a slap can't be heard. If it wasn't for Li Tianrui's fault first, the other party wouldn't bully him. Otherwise, there are so many people in the academy, why don't they bully others?" ?”

As soon as these words came out, all three of them were furious.

The fifteen-year-old Li Tianrui snorted again, "My mistake was that I thought Songhe Academy was a good place! I shouldn't have come here."

He looked at Li Huaizhi and said, "Father, let's go."

So far, Li Huaizhi has no hope.

He sighed heavily, and said to the man, "Your Excellency, please take the trouble to come here. In that case, I'd better find another place to study for the dog. It turns out that this academy is still beyond our reach."

As he spoke, he turned around.

But he heard the other party say, "Wait a minute, uncle."

Uncle?

Bi Jinghuai paused upon hearing this.

Are you calling that crook?

But the other party also shook his head and sighed, "If I hadn't seen this in person, I wouldn't believe it. At the foot of the Son of Heaven, this kind of upside-down thing will happen in Songhe Academy. I will report it to the court. It seems that this academy will do well Check it out."

Li Huaizhi nodded, and walked out of the gate of the academy together with the other party.

Bi Jinghuai was stunned.

To play the imperial court?

Who are they?

Could it be that he was wrong?

~~

After leaving Songhe Academy, when the Li family father and son returned home again, the king in the palace also listened to the report from Zuo Junliang, the right deputy imperial envoy.

He frowned and said, "How did this Bi Jinghuai become the head of Songhe Academy?"

Zuo Junliang said, "This person entered Songhe Academy 20 years ago. He was promoted to senior by the secretary office. It happened that the previous head was old. He wanted to pass on the position of head to Xu Daoguang, who was the head of the school at that time. But that year, the Ritual System Department of the Ministry of Rites suddenly intervened and helped this person ascend to the position of mountain chief."

Did the Ministry of Rites intervene?

Heh, it seems that the remnants of the former minister of rites have not been cleaned up yet?

Yu Wenlan said, "Track down the Rites and Regulations Department of the Ministry of Rites back then. If there is anyone who violates the law and dereliction of duty, he will not let go."

Zuo Junliang should be busy.

~~

Probably because she was too angry, Yan Shu's writing speed today is almost as if a miracle.

She only started writing in the morning, and finished writing the script before dinner.

Just put down the pen, but heard the system say, [There is a new development, the head of the Songhe Academy, Bi Jinghuai, found out that your father is Uncle Zhongyi, and ran to your house to apologize in shock. 】

Apologize?

Yan Shu raised her eyebrows and said, 【Then my father and Tianrui forgave him? 】

System, 【Your father said politely, but he made up his mind not to go back. He has already asked three academies for your younger brother. They knew that your younger brother had passed the county exam, and they all scrambled to get him. 】

Yan Shu was proud, 【Of course, if you don't stay here, you have a place to stay! If an apology is useful, why do we need the law? This scumbag is already mad at me, I must kill him! 】

But she had some doubts, 【He would rather run to apologize by himself, why does he have to protect the three **** who bullied Tianrui? 】

System, [Because the leader who bullied your brother is named Jiang Mingzhi, he is the grandson of Marquis Wuyang, Marquis Wuyang, you know, he is the eldest princess' old father-in-law. 】

Yanshu, "..."

I see.

Tsk tsk, no wonder this scum is so protective of the beating bastard. It turns out that he is the eldest princess' nephew. He can't afford it at all.

Sure enough, it's not that a family doesn't enter a house, what kind of goods are these.

At this moment, the system said, 【Seeing that your father didn't forgive him, Bi Jinghuai knew that this matter was not going well, so now he went to the head of the Ministry of Rites to discuss countermeasures. 】

Yan Shu squinted her eyes, 【Head of the Ministry of Rites? The one who slept with his wife? How dare he protect this scum against me? 】

System, [Don't dare. Wei Guangze, head of the Ministry of Rites, told him to find a way by himself and kicked him out. 】

Yan Shu raised her eyebrows, [Okay! I like to see these scumbags crawling around in a panic! 】

But the system said again, 【Don't be too happy, this Bi Jinghuai gritted his teeth and went directly to Jiang's mansion, saying that he could use the condition of escorting Jiang Mingzhi into the Imperial College, and begging the Jiang family to protect him. 】

Yan Shu hehe, [Just listen to him bragging! Still escorted to the Imperial College? Now the Guozijian is so strict that even a fly cannot fly in. If that little **** from the Jiang family can get in, there will be ghosts! 】

At this moment, the emperor was seen stepping in leisurely from the outside.

So she bid farewell to the system first, and went forward to salute, "My concubine welcomes Your Majesty."

Yu Wenlan exempted himself from the ceremony and asked, "Is the meal available?"

Yan Shu said no, "The concubine has just finished writing the story book and is about to ask the dining room to deliver it."

Yu Wenlan said, "That's just right, I will eat with you."

Cough, with her, eating feels extra delicious.

Yanshu agreed happily, so she asked the palace servants to deliver the meals.

Taking advantage of this time, Yu Wenlan asked again, "What kind of script did you write today?"

Yan Shu was about to tell him, so she hurriedly said, "The concubine Chen wrote a story about a top-notch scumbag today."

Scum?

Yu Wenlan thought to himself, this word sounds a bit like that "scumbag".

But literally, scum seems to be worse.

That's right, her script is always much faster than the Metropolitan Procuratorate's, so he nodded, "Interesting, let's hear it."

Yan Shu cleared her throat and said, "There was a scholar who was poor and had no status since he was a child, so he suffered a lot. He was determined to be famous, and he was very utilitarian. He saw the age of marriage, because his family was too poor. , I have never been able to marry a daughter-in-law."

"But the scholar found that there was a wealthy family in the same village, whose family was well-off, and whose daughter was born very delicate, but with a simple mind, so he made a plan to break the ox cart that the girl was riding in while it was raining, and pretended to pass by. Sending an umbrella makes the girl secretly promise him. The rich man loves his daughter so much that he finally married his daughter to him, and with the support from his husband’s family, this man concentrates on preparing for the exam, and his wife takes care of all family affairs.”

Yu Wenlan nodded, "This man married a good wife, what happened next?"

Yan Shu said, "Later, this person was lucky enough to win the election. Unfortunately, he has no contacts, power, and ability, so he has been a sesame official, far from his goal. Later, by chance, this He entered a prestigious academy and started teaching. He found that many of the students who left this academy became officials, which could help him expand his contacts and gain power. This person began to use this opportunity to try his best to gain profits. "

"His wife originally raised the child in his hometown. Seeing that the child had reached the age of school, the mother and son came to the capital to join him. Unexpectedly, at this time, his wife's bad luck came."

"There was an official who took a fancy to his wife and secretly coveted it. But the scholar clearly knew what the other party was thinking, but he didn't protect his wife. In order to become the head of the mountain, he even forced his wife to serve the official. A lot of money and bribes, and finally became the head of the mountain."

Hearing this, Yu Wenlan was shocked, "For the sake of fame and fortune, this man forced his wife to serve others?"

Yan Shu nodded, "Exactly."

It really is scum.

Yu Wenlan asked, "What about his wife?"

Yan Shu regretted, "His wife was humiliated, and then became depressed and died early."

Yu Wenlan sighed, "What happened next?"

But I heard her say, "With his control, the academy with a good academic style began to gradually tilt towards the rich and powerful, accepting many children from rich families, and constantly improving Shu Xiu, so that they can benefit from it, but those ordinary children can only do it." Stay away."

"Later, this person even established a relationship with the officials of the DPRK and China, and secretly became a man who bought and sold official positions, and gained huge benefits from it."

What?

Yu Wenlan couldn't hold back for a while, and directly angrily said, "It's ridiculous!"

A scholar who is mercenary and full of calculations has ruined the most important academy in the capital like this.

No wonder, no wonder!

Do the math, this person became the head of the Songhe Academy about fifteen years ago, how many moths have been born in the past fifteen years!

Father, father, you were obsessed with cultivating Taoism back then, how did you delay the court!

But seeing Yan Shu approaching him, she said, "Your Majesty also thinks it's absurd. If this kind of thing happens now, this scholar will definitely be severely punished by the law."

Yu Wenlan nodded cooperatively, "That's right, to prevent problems before they happen, I'll ask someone to investigate."

Yan Shu nodded vigorously, "Your Majesty is wise."

Yu Wenlan said, "You haven't said what happened to the scholar yet."

He wanted to know how she would die for such a scumbag.

But I heard her say, "Because this person made the academy into a mess, all those who came after him followed in his footsteps. In order to sit on the mountain leader as soon as possible, they poisoned his food, and this person was poisoned to death. After his death, his soul came to the underworld, and was accused by ghosts. In a rage, King Yama sentenced him to all the punishments of the underworld. a stone, that man casts filth upon him every day."

Yu Wenlan, "..."

"Why does the underworld appear?"

This was caught off guard, and it suddenly became a ghost novel?

But Yan Shu smiled wickedly, "Because her crimes are too numerous to record, it is obviously not enough to die in the mortal world, and of course she has to go to the underworld to suffer all the punishments."

Yu Wenlan, "..."

Well, I could see that she was very angry.

Of course, he just listened, and wished he could tear this person into pieces.

At this moment, the dinner was already set, Fu Hai bowed beside him and said, "Please eat, Your Majesty."

Yu Wenlan collected her thoughts and came to the table with her first.

But Yan Shu yelled, "There are stuffed crabs!"

Yu Wenlan also glanced at the table.

However, suddenly, the story she just told emerged in her mind—

Turn that man into a stone in a latrine...

"..."

Tsk, I can't eat anymore.

~~

That night, the Xinhua edition was delivered to the bookseller.

Because Mr. Xiaoyao didn't publish a book for a few days, it really whetted everyone's appetite, and seeing that the story book was so popular, the bookseller ordered people to print it on the spot overnight, and by the next morning, it had sold more than a hundred Book.

After reading it, everyone was shocked.

It can be said that the degree of shamelessness of this person is no less than those of the previous ones.

Of course, its final ending is also really refreshing.

While feeling comfortable, everyone began to speculate on the identity of this person.

Because Yan Shu did not change her identity, and directly wrote that the other party was the head of the academy, and it was also a prestigious academy in the capital...

Tsk, I can figure out who the other party is with my toes.

But at this time, there was another news. After investigation by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Bi Jinghuai, the head of the Songhe Academy, was involved in buying and selling officials, and was involved in a serious case of bribery and corruption. He was directly thrown into the dungeon.

Within a month, he was sentenced to be beheaded, and more than a dozen other officials were implicated, all of whom were removed from their posts and held accountable, without exception.

The Songhe Academy was also taken over by the imperial court and reformed, and it will be opened to the common people after the reform is completed.

As for the cause of the incident, Jiang Mingzhi, the son of the Jiang family who bullied his classmates from other places in the academy, did not escape punishment.

In the end, he was punished by the king for sixty battles. After the fight, his legs were almost useless.

When this matter came to an end, everyone felt that Mr. Xiaoyao was so powerful, and speculation about his identity was like a wave.

This is a story book that overturned an academy, what a god!

Of course, Yan Shu is very calm about this. Anyway, the emperor gave her the blame, and many people outside already think that she is a new organization that obeys the emperor's orders, similar to the Jinyiwei or the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which specializes in collecting secret information to investigate and deal with corruption. Build public opinion.

Just when she was eating melon seeds and making network in the harem, hiding her merits and fame, the system brought her new news.

[Pay attention, the Jiang family has been holding a grudge ever since they were punks and fought. These days, they are looking for Concubine Ning in the palace and Zhao Chengwen, the son-in-law, and are planning to trouble your Li family. 】

Yan Shu's eyes lit up.

Well, it seems that the "Double-Faced Talented Scholar" will finally be published.

This is really good fortune, and I can't stop it!
