Rebirth of the Prime Minister's Wife

When the master came out of the county magistrate's house, he looked up at the gloomy sky. His always stern expression was also affected by the gloomy sky.

The door behind him was slowly closed by the boy, and the peaceful scene of singing and dancing inside was completely separated from the desolation and desolation of the long street.

The heat between his nose and mouth condensed in the cold air, like his heart that had long been numb and cold.The master stood there for an unknown amount of time, until snow fell on his shoulders, then he moved his frozen body and walked down the steps.

At this moment, a man in tattered clothes and disheveled hair stumbled towards him, knocking the master staggering.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The man fell badly, but he quickly got up and helped the master up.

"It's okay." The master waved his hand. Instead, he looked at the man in front of him carefully. Seeing that he was wearing thin clothes, he took off the cloak from his shoulders and put it on carefully for him.

Then he touched his sleeves and took out two copper coins after a long while.He sighed and handed it over, "Go buy two buns."

The man shook his hand gratefully, but did not take the coin. He lowered his head and said something quickly before running away quickly.

Qin Zhaozhao sat at the table next to the railing on the second floor of the teahouse, admiring the falling snow outside the window.The waiter at Qinglian Teahouse brought tea and snacks to her, and the waiter whispered something to her.

Qinglian came over and said to Qin Zhaozhao, "Girl, the young master has already met the adult in Beijing."

Qin Zhaozhao turned around and said, "How?"

"He seems to be an official who cares about the people, but he seems to be a bit stubborn and rigid in his actions. If Wang Qi hadn't revealed some information, he would have been rejected by a few people."

"You are a rigid person." Qin Zhaozhao picked up the tea cup and said in a calm voice, "If he is smart and smooth, he will not be sent to this place."

Qinglian's eyes were crooked, "Isn't this just convenient for the girl to do?"

"Even if the person who comes is a timid person, I'm sure, it just takes a little more time." Qin Zhaozhao took a sip, and after the slightly astringent tea taste, there was a burst of sweetness that left an endless aftertaste.

"Bitter at first and then sweet, it's Xinyang Maojian." Qin Zhaozhao recalled the feeling on the tip of his tongue. This kind of tea is rare in Xinxiang. It seems that this teahouse is really hidden.

Qinglian smiled, "The boy just asked me to tell the girl that all tea and snacks are free today. This tea is the teahouse owner's private collection."

"They are grateful for the girl's good deeds." Qinglian was very happy. She had been hearing and seeing her in Xinxiang for a long time, and some common sayings here also popped up.

Qin Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly.

Her eyes seemed to be fixated on the ripples on the blue lake, dotted with sparkling light.

The slender jade fingers rubbed the rim of the cup, and Qin Zhaozhao said softly, "In that case, I will accept it."

Yes, this tea has a refreshing fragrance and a bitter taste, and then it becomes cool and sweet. Isn’t this just right for the moment?

The emotions of Xinxiang people are always subtle and warm.

She said: "You will be fine if you survive this winter."

As soon as Qin Zhaozhao finished speaking, a sudden voice broke in from outside the door, breaking the rare peace and calm at this moment.

"Does Miss Qin really think that everything will be solved after this winter?"

The master entered through the half-open door. As soon as he entered the room, he heard Qin Zhaozhao's last words.

The boy guarding the door nodded to Qin Zhaozhao, indicating that she would guard the door, and then slowly closed the door.

The master obviously noticed this movement, but pretended not to know.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw the woman sitting on the railing. Even if he had met her once before, he could not help but be slightly shocked by the sudden stunning scenery.

Qin Zhaozhao was dressed in a goose-yellow dress, and the gleaming peach eyes he looked at seemed to have a hook. When he blinked his eyelashes, others would take a breath, and his cheeks were as delicate as a pink stamen about to bloom.

She sat there, like a delicate flower in a greenhouse that had not been baptized by the turbidity of the world. When it attracted others to come closer, it was so narrow that it revealed its sharp thorns that hurt people.

When Qin Zhaozhao saw his expression, he seemed not surprised that he would show up.

"Master, please sit down."

The master sat opposite her, looked away from her face, and said in a deep voice, "I wonder why Miss Qin went to such trouble to call me here."

Qin Zhaozhao did not answer him directly. She knew that it would be a bad idea to go straight to this cautious and sensitive master.

She picked up the teapot and filled the tea cup in front of her master with water. She behaved elegantly and appropriately. She really didn't look like someone raised by a villager in the countryside, but more like a boudoir lady who had been educated in etiquette in the capital.

Qin Zhaozhao gently pushed the tea cup in the direction of the master with his bare hands, and said at the same time, "Master should have seen the poem on the notice board."

The master's eyes moved, "Of course I know, your Excellency is very satisfied."

Qin Zhaozhao chuckled, "Master, what do you think?"

"Far better than those scholars who play with the knowledge of sour poetry." The master took a sip of tea and made a positive evaluation.

"I have no interest in your evaluation of whether this poem is good or bad." Qin Zhaozhao repeated it again, "I'm asking, what do you think, Master?"

The master's eyes froze, and his raised hand froze in mid-air.

After a long silence, he spoke up, "What do I think? Does it matter?"

Qin Zhaozhao sighed leisurely, and the statement slowly reminded him of the past, "I heard that the master was the only student in Xinxiang who passed the examination, and he was also the best in the provincial examination."

"Even the private school teacher praised you for your strategic thinking. If you have the space to display it, your achievements will not be limited to Chai Sang."

"When everyone thought that you would be promoted step by step and display your talents, unexpectedly, you just settled down in a small corner of Xinxiang, serving as the little master next to the county magistrate."

Qin Zhaozhao looked at him, with an innocent tone like a woman who was inexperienced in the world, with doubts and a touch of ridicule, "Don't you feel that all the hard work you spent studying in the cold window was wasted by you?"

"What do you know!" The master's arm shook slightly as his past was revealed.He stopped what she was going to say with a soft drink, his eyes fixed on the tiny tea leaves floating on the tea surface, wary and cautious, "Where did you know these things?"

"If I don't know anything, why would I ask Master to sit here?" Qin Zhaozhao replied calmly.

The master looked at her coldly, "So what if you find out these things? No matter what your plan is, I will not help you."

"As expected, you know that I want to bring down Liu Qu." Qin Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows slightly, "I don't understand, what benefits did Liu Qu give you? It can make the ambitious person willing to show his ambitions. Be his lackey?"

"Is it true that people's hearts are so fickle that your arrogance has to succumb to power?"

Qin Zhaozhao's voice was cold and stern, and every word he spoke was like icy shards of ice. The master's head was spinning, and his eardrums seemed to be beaten heavily by countless drums. The beating made his eye sockets slightly warm, and his heart was pricked by countless dense needles.

The master took a deep breath like a drowning person being held down in the water. His throat was extremely dry, and a trace of sadness finally appeared on his unchanging face, "What can I do?"

"My father was imprisoned for a murder case two years ago and has not been able to come out."

"Liu Qu came to me back then and said that as long as I stayed here to advise him and get rid of the former county magistrate, he let my father go." Recalling the past, the master still couldn't let go of the resentment in his heart, "But I know that when he got rid of me, Passed the examination, and there was another person in Xinxiang who took the provincial examination, and his ranking was only behind me."

"He is the son of Liu Qu. He was always behind me in private school and made things difficult for me. Two years ago, I packed my luggage and prepared to go to the Spring Festival, but Liu Qu got in the way. In order to keep me in Xinxiang, I couldn't get ahead. , and then framed my father and put him in jail!"

He sounded angry and sad.So what if you have great ambitions?A young eagle with broken wings is just a beast no different from a poultry.

The master closed his eyes and quickly pulled away from the memories.He knew that he was too rude today, and he was also afraid that Qin Zhaozhao's few words could easily arouse the suppressed anger buried deep in his heart.

After hurriedly drinking the cup of tea, the master stood up and said, "I'll just pretend I don't know what happened today, and don't come to me again."

Qin Zhaozhao opened her lips lightly, tilted her head half-way, and her black and angry eyes penetrated the Master's heart like sharp swords. She said in a cold voice, "Since you can put aside your pride and self-esteem and compromise to stay by Liu Qu's side, why can't you? Have the courage to pay back everything you have endured in the past."

"How can I, a young master, have the ability to fight back?" The master sneered, as if he was laughing at her naivety. "Liu Qu has both black and white in his hands. He just casually called out, and countless people in Xinxiang came to follow him."

"Miss Qin, what do you think I can do to fight back?" He laughed at himself, "It's been two years and I can't even rescue my father from prison."

Qin Zhaozhao interrupted him decisively, "Now is an opportunity."

The master remained silent.

She continued, "Although you have read books and have some writing in your belly, what you have seen and heard is limited to this small land of Xinxiang."

"Do you think the officials sent by Shengjing are just going through the motions?" Qin Zhaozhao said, "This might be the case if it were under the jurisdiction of those powerful princes, but this is Chaisang, Chaisang that has been forgotten by the world."

At this point, Qin Zhaozhao paused for a moment. She quickly put aside the strangeness lingering in her heart and continued, "As long as all the things that happened in Xinxiang are written down into a memorial and sent to the capital as quickly as possible, let alone Liu Qu, Chaisang, etc. None of the higher officials can be saved.”

She sneered, "Do you think Liu Qu colluded with the local gangsters here and became the local emperor here by dominating one side?"

Qin Zhaozhao sneered mercilessly, "He controls the entire Xinxiang and prevents any news here from leaking. How can he deceive the superiors and conceal the truth? Once the incident comes to light, even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, he will be caught."

"Liu Qu is just a toad jumping up and down, and you are so scared."

The master was stunned on the spot. He stared at Qin Zhaozhao as if he had changed. For a moment, he didn't know whether he was crazy standing here or she was crazy.

"Do you think I'm crazy?" Qin Zhaozhao immediately saw what he was thinking, "I think you are stupid."

"Liu Qu used dirty means to keep you here, but now, you have become the most inseparable person around him."

"It's precisely because he understands what you're thinking that he's undefended. Things that I can't get should be easy for you."

Her words became less sharp, leading him to fall into his own thoughts, "I am planning outside, and you are secretly helping me inside. If you and I work together to hide it from Liu Qu, he won't notice."

Qin Zhaozhao's words shattered all the deep and never-ending shadows in Master's heart. After the haze of powerless and angry regrets day and night, a beam of light suddenly appeared on his head.

Qin Zhaozhao's last words completely shattered all his hesitation and hesitation.

"The entire Xinxiang people will stand behind us for this matter, what are you afraid of?"

"Master, think back to the person you were two years ago." Her voice was soft, like the moon in a flower in a dream, "Would you really rather shrink your head than look directly at the people who are in dire straits?"

The master lowered his head, and finally, he slowly raised his eyes.

A pool of stagnant water finally became alive.

"What do you want me to do?" After struggling several times, he finally lost.

Qin Zhaozhao smiled and raised her hand to raise her glass, "Master, don't worry, it's just a few simple things."

"For the sake of a bright future, Zhaozhao is willing to offer tea instead of wine for the people of Xinxiang and give a toast to Master."
