Chapter 23 Poor Old Wife VS Knowledgeable Husband (6)

"Taste the bracken I fried." Shi Yi picked up a large chopstick for him, "I went to the mountain to pick it with Mrs. Huang Ersao. I saved the tenderest part and dried it. Whether it is used for cooking soup or stir-frying, it is very convenient.”

Chen Yushi raised his chopsticks and put it into his mouth. The taste was indeed extraordinary, and he couldn't help but let out a sound of admiration.

"Try the vegetable dumplings I made again." Shi Yi took one for him and put it on the edge of the table, boasting: "Don't think it is inconspicuous, but if you are full, take one up the mountain and you won't be able to eat it all afternoon." Will be hungry."

Chen Yushi looked at these simple dishes on the table, choked up in his heart and almost shed tears.

His wife, who lived such a poor life at home, still waited for him to return.

"Hurry up and eat more. I'll go out to dry the eggplants. When it's time to go to the market, Huang Ersao and I will carry them to the government office and sell them to you to buy new clothes." Shi's eyes showed real distress.

She is an ethical and ethical raider.Now that I have accepted the task, I will take on the role wholeheartedly and do my best to fulfill the client's wish.

Chen Yushi put down the chopsticks in his hand, held his old wife's hand, and took out the prefect's seal from his arms.

"What is this?" Shi Yi took it curiously.

Only then did Chen Yushi remember that his old wife was illiterate, and smiled innocently, "It's the seal of the eunuch."

He expected a look of shock on his old wife's face, followed by immense joy. However, what he saw on his wife's face was worry.

"Chen Yushi, tell me, where did you get this thing from?"

He knew that his wife must have thought that he was deceiving her.After all, no prefect would show up wearing coarse linen clothes.

"It's really the eunuch's seal." He showed her the engraved side, "Look carefully to see if there are words on it."

He still shook his head when he saw his old wife.

"Chen Yushi, let's behave in an upright manner. Since you are back, let's live a peaceful life. Don't engage in such tricks."

"I really didn't lie to you." Chen Yushi didn't know whether to cry or laugh now.

He originally wanted to test his wife as an ordinary person, but he didn't expect to dig a big hole for himself.

"Okay, okay, stop talking. You can continue to eat, I'll go out to dry the dried eggplants."

Seeing his old wife stepping out of the door, he smiled wryly, thinking that he had to go to the government office to take a job, and let the people in the government office prove it for him.

In the evening, Chen Yushi was slightly drunk at dusk, and he took his old wife to sit at the door and watch the sunset.

He didn't relax completely until the sun set and the sky became dark.

The days of accompanying the king in Chang'an were actually not as happy as imagined.Instead, what he felt most comfortable was the noisy time spent with his old wife.

"Old wife, I have to thank you." He took Shi Yi's hand.

Compared with those noble ladies he saw in Chang'an, these hands were rough, yellow and black, but they were the most beautiful hands in his opinion.It was his old wife who kept the whole belief about "home" for him.

"Thank you for nothing. Husband and wife are one."

Seeing the disinterested expression on his old wife's face, Chen Yushi knew that she was telling the truth, and his heart was even more touched.

The old wife's dedication to the family was taken for granted by the old wife, but he couldn't take it for granted.

A few words from the woodcutters he met today shocked him, but he never heard her complain since he stepped into the house.

His wife, what should he repay? !
"Wife, what do you think this is?" He took out something that meant the most to the two of them from his cuff.

"Hairpin", the surprise in Shi Shi's eyes is obvious.

Chen Yushi put the silver hairpin into her hand, with a bright smile and fine lines around his eyes, "Today, this silver hairpin is completely returned to Zhao."

When life was difficult, this silver hairpin helped him get through it.Later, life became unbearable and he had no choice but to pawn it.But I am thinking about it every day, thinking about when I can collect the pawn money.When he became the prefect, the first thing he did was to take the reward money to the pawn shop and redeem it.

"I'm really happy." When Shi Yi took out the silver hairpin, Shi Yi was ready to never come back.Unexpectedly, in my lifetime, I could have it again.

"I'll buy you whatever you want in the future." Chen Yushi smiled and hugged the old wife tightly. From the corner of his eyes, he caught sight of the old wife's face, with an obvious expression of disbelief.

He didn't explain further.Because he knew very well that without a real person to prove it, his old wife would never believe that he really became the prefect of the government office.

After spending a comfortable night at home, Chen Yushi went to the government office early the next morning.

Although the people in the yamen knew that the old magistrate died and the court would definitely send a new magistrate down, they never thought that the middle-aged man standing in front of them like a countryman would be their new chief.So look down on him, and he doesn't care.

"What are you here for?" the leading officer asked him.

"Let's see what this is?" He took out the prefect's seal in his arms.

Of course the leading officer knew the prefect's seal, so he ran out the door and said, "It's incredible, it's incredible, the new prefect has arrived."

The other yamen servants gathered around him one after another, "Are you sure it's him?"

Their eyes kept looking at Chen Yushi. They felt that he did not have the magnanimity of a prefect, and they wondered if the leader was joking with them.

Some yamen servants even snickered beside him, "If he were the prefect, I would be the emperor."

The other yamen servants burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"Everyone kneels down to receive the order." The entourage with the emperor's edict rushed over in time to testify for Chen Yushi.

The faces of the kneeling yamen servants turned from blue to white, and then from white to red, all worried whether they had offended the new prefect just now.

At this time, Chen Yushi straightened his clothes, and carrying the seal, Shi Shiran walked up to the officials, "Now everyone believes that I am the new prefect."

His expression was neither sad nor happy, and his eyes were unpredictable.

The yamen servants trembled three times, knelt down and begged for mercy: "Master Taishou has a lot of people, don't be as knowledgeable as us."

Chen Yushi smiled lightly, noncommittal.

"I also ask the prefect to forgive us for being blind." The leading yamen servant took the initiative to stand up and plead guilty, "It's all a small fault, and I didn't recognize the identity of the prefect in time."

Be forgiving and forgiving.Chen Yushi opened his mouth softly and said, "When you meet for the first time, it's normal for you not to know each other. In the future, everyone will work together and help each other in the same boat."

The entourage of the coachman and the guards of the yamen yelled to obey, the whole yamen trembled, and big beads of sweat rolled down the foreheads of the yamen servants.
