Chapter 315
Wang Yanqing showed no mercy to Lu Heng's letters, and burned one of them, but she had a headache for this plum blossom.
The plum blossoms are really beautiful, and they are so scorching, like the blood burning in the cold winter. Wang Yanqing had no choice but to ask the maid to take the vase and put the plum blossoms in place.
Lu Heng harassed one or two from time to time like this, even if no one appeared, his sense of presence never ceased. In this regard, Wang Yanqing is still too naive. When he encounters an old official like Lu Heng, he leads him by the nose without realizing it.
Lu Heng is in the palace halls and has long been familiar with the way of giving gifts. You must not give food as gifts, because it is easy to cause accidents, and it will be gone after eating, so the recipient can't remember it at all; you can't give gold and silver jewelry, these things can be taken out and spent at any time, there is no identification, can not Impressive.
So what Lu Heng gave were lanterns and plum blossoms, which were unique enough and could be displayed for a long time. A red plum in the house is unique and eye-catching. As long as she sees it, she will think of him.
Wouldn't it be more useful than giving a mountain of gold and silver?
Time passed unknowingly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the twentieth of the first month, and the day of the court came. As usual, Lu Heng sent someone a small gift to Wang Yanqing, and complained in the letter that the group of old men didn't care about the injury on his shoulder at all, they were always aggressive, they managed to deal with those people and went back to the mansion. Afterwards, there is a room to be deserted.
If it was said that he was still wearing a layer of clothes in the previous letters, now he has made it clear. Wang Yanqing looked at the letter and felt the emperor's mood subtly.
If Lu Heng, through the mouth of the maid, hinted how seriously he was injured and how hard it was to deal with the doubts inside and outside the court alone, Wang Yanqing would definitely feel disgusted. But if he picked it up by himself and used his injury to express sympathy, Wang Yanqing felt nothing.
Wang Yanqing suddenly became vigilant, how could she forget the truth of boiling frogs in warm water? Yang Ting, Yang Yingning, and Zhang Jinggong were the first assistants who couldn't play against him. How could she have the confidence to escape Lu Heng's trap?
She has just stepped out of the Fu family's cage, does she want to take the initiative to enter another deeper, bigger, and more dreamy-looking golden wire cage?
Wang Yanqing thought she couldn't go on like this anymore, she put away all the gifts that Lu Heng sent, called the doorman, and said with a solemn face: "Return these things to Master Lu. In the future, the letters from the Lu House, no matter what they are. , you don't have to pass it in."
Seeing Wang Yanqing's face, the concierge knew that the situation was serious. Wang Yanqing called the housekeeper and asked, "The major yamen have resumed their errands in the past few days, right?"
Hearing that, the steward was not sure what Wang Yanqing wanted to do, so he responded cautiously: "The government office in the capital should be able to do it, but there are still restrictions on the city gate. If you go to work outside the city, I'm afraid it won't work."
Wang Yanqing nodded and said, "Just in time, go to Shuntian Mansion and ask, can the formalities for the release of slaves be done these days?"
The housekeeper agreed, he looked at Wang Yanqing and seemed to want to remind him of something, but in the end he shut up wisely and went out to handle Wang Yanqing's affairs.
It was obvious that as long as she told Lu Heng, she would be able to handle everything without worrying about it, but Wang Yanqing chose to ask the Shuntian government office and do it herself.
There is a debate in the court on who should govern the Japanese pirates, but the national affairs are not in the way of the common people. The people of the capital are still concerned about the east and west.
Wang Yanqing also doesn't care about Japanese pirates, she has devoted all her energy to Shuntian's house these days. She didn't mention her identity, only called her surname Wang, and wanted to get rid of her old servant. The renunciation of slaves is not an isolated case. There is a fixed procedure for a long time, but this time, the efficiency of Shuntian Mansion is surprisingly high.
Wang Yanqing didn't want to think about whether Lu Heng had instructed him or not. On the day when all the formalities were settled, Wang Yanqing called Feicui over and handed her an official document.
Jade saw the document with the official seal on her face, and her face was full of disbelief. Wang Yanqing pushed the document to her and said, "This is your deed of sale and the certificate of release. I was afraid that it would affect your mood. I didn't tell you, everything is done now, you can see if there is any problem."
Jade picked it up and looked at it. She was the master's personal servant girl, and she could barely recognize some words. She didn't need to understand all the words, it was enough to just know the red handprint on the deed and the official seal of the government.
Jadeite was sold at a very young age, and becoming a slave would be inferior to others, bear hardships and stand hard work, and always have the self-consciousness of a slave. Jade has long been used to this kind of life, and suddenly one day, someone told her that you are free.
No one can value and resell her at will.
Fei Cui felt dazed for a moment, she was silent for a long time, and asked, "Miss, are you really not going to go back to the Hou Mansion?"
Jade's contract of selling her life was in Zhenyuan Hou's mansion, and Fu Tingzhou handed it over to Wang Yanqing. Now, Wang Yanqing has released her. On the one hand, it shows that Wang Yanqing really treats her as a person. Unlike those young ladies who say that they are sisters with the maid, they actually hold the maid's contract of selling their lives and never mention letting them go. On the other hand, Wang Yanqing also planning to leave.
Therefore, before withdrawing, it is necessary to settle the whereabouts of Jade.
