New widow

"I'm not worried." Su Du was telling the truth. The Nanyang Marquis Mansion is different from the British Duke's Mansion. Nanyang Marquis Mansion has always had children serving as officials, and its daughters are more often married to scholars than to other nobles. Get married at home.

Although Nanyang Houfu's actions have caused some criticism, Nanyang Houfu's status has been stable in recent years, so naturally some people praise Nanyang Hou for his thoughtfulness. This scholar also has the benefits of being a scholar.

"Yeah, you don't have to worry about anything." Zhang Qing muttered again and closed his eyes. Su Du lowered his eyes. Of course he had worries, but he couldn't express those worries even to Zhang Qing. , can only be hidden in my heart, always hidden in my heart.

The next day was originally the day to go to the temple fair, but because of Wan Dequan's incident, Song Zhen and Xia Yun were also very worried, so naturally they did not mention going to the temple fair. However, Su Qiao got up in the morning and called Aunt Wu. Come in: "Let sisters Zhen'er and Xia Yun go to the temple fair today."

"This temple fair is not interesting. Madam, I am still at home with you." Mother Wu's words made Su Qiao smile: "Yes, you have been to many temple fairs." After saying this, Su Qiao said to Mother Wu He said: "In that case, let Miss Song and the two children accompany Zhen'er and Xia Yun, as well as the neighbor's house."

"I'm also staying at home with my wife." Xia Yun learned that Su Qiao wanted them to go to the temple fair. She didn't want to go and have fun, but her cousin-in-law also wanted to stay.

"If everyone doesn't go, won't everything that Mother Wu prepares be in vain?" Suqiao shook her head: "That's all, in that case, Zhen'er, you take Chunya and the others with you, and Miss Song, you stay with me , and the neighbor’s sister-in-law,

There are enough people like this. "

"I, I want to..." Song Zhen also wanted to stay with Su Qiao at home. Su Qiao patted Song Zhen's hand and said, "Go if you are told. You are still a child, you should play."

Since Su Qiao said this, Song Zhen could only nod in agreement. The neighbor's sister-in-law Bao had already packed up, and everyone got on the carriage. Brother Bao drove to the city.

"Hey, I should be like my sister, staying at home with Aunt Kuang." Song Zhen watched the village go away and sighed again. It can be said that Mrs. Bao has watched Song Zhen grow up since she was a child. She laughed when she heard Song Zhen's words: "You are still the same as before, always worrying."

"Aunt Kuang is so kind to me, I should think more about her." Song Zhen's words made Sister Bao silent. After a while, she said: "Stepmother can..." Song Zhen had already raised a finger, Instructing Sister-in-law Bao not to continue talking, Sister-in-law Bao pinched Song Zhen's nose and said, "It's still the same as when I was a child, very naughty."

Song Zhen smiled. The carriage had already entered the city gate and was heading to the temple fair. Walking towards them was Zhou Yamen's servant Wan Dequan who was walking away from the house with his child limping.

When the carriage passed by Wan Dequan, Wan Dequan glanced at the carriage and continued walking forward. Zhou Yamen sent him to the city gate. Looking at his pale face, Zhou Yamen sighed: "Actually, you should rest for a few more days."

"If we rest for a few more days, when we get back there, the time limit has passed again." Wan Dequan's words made Zhou Yamen silent. People who work in public will be beaten after the time limit has passed. It is common to be beaten with dozens of sticks. . It's just normal. At this time, Wan Dequan was injured to begin with. After running around a lot, he was beaten by dozens of people.

Stick, wouldn't that kill him?

"Don't worry, I'm feeling much better now." Of course Wan Dequan knew what Zhou Yamen was thinking, so he just smiled and comforted him. Zhou Yamen handed him over, and another Yamen wanted to go back with Wan Dequan. This Yamen He has already said to Zhou Yamen: "Brother Zhou, don't worry, I will definitely send Brother Wan back safely."

Zhou Yamen nodded and watched the two people leave until they could no longer see their backs. Then Zhou Yamen turned around and entered the city, where he still had to deal with the prefect about Wan Dequan's departure.

After all, Wan Dequan was injured. After walking for a while, he was out of breath. The government servant supported him and said, "Brother Wan, why not hire a donkey?"

"If you hire a donkey, you will be blamed again when you get to the place." Wan Dequan took off his hat and wiped his sweat. The yamen servant sighed: "Since you have such relatives, why don't you go and ask for help and simply get rid of it?" Know your origin?"

"You are young and don't know yet. It's not that I don't want to do this, but that someone doesn't allow it." Wan Dequan didn't seem to say anything, but at the same time he seemed to have said everything. The officer nodded in understanding and supported Wan Dequan. Continuing to walk forward, there is a tea shed in front. The Yamen servant's eyes lit up: "Brother Wan, let's take a break first and have a sip of tea."

Wan Dequan originally wanted to rest on this stretch of road, but there was pain in his legs and he had to walk into the tea shed. There was only one person sitting with his back in the tea shed. As soon as Wan Dequan walked into the tea shed, the man turned around, and Wan Dequan was startled: "Why is it you?"

"Ms. Kuang knows that you definitely don't want to see her, so you ordered me to come." Manager Wu said with a smile, and Wan Dequan put his hat back on: "

It's not that I don't want to see her, it's just that she will be laughed at if she is related to someone like me. "

Wan Dequan has been in the public house for a long time, so he naturally knows that these people are divided into three, six or nine grades. Suqiao is the wife of the Duke, so she is the best person. As a government servant and a lowly family, how can he be with Suqiao? Get involved?

"You just care too much about these things. Madam Kuang doesn't care about anything." Manager Wu poured a cup of tea for Wan Dequan and said softly: "There is a mule outside. When the time comes, you can ride on the mule..."

"This is not appropriate. We always have to walk when we go out." Wan Dequan put his hands straight, and Manager Wu shook his head: "This is not a mule you hired yourself. You can get off the mule when you get to the place."

"Having said that, it's just..." Wan Dequan was still hesitating, but Manager Wu already sighed softly: "If I break this sentence, I will definitely be scolded. No matter how cautious you are, you can't prevent someone from deliberately Take your life."

Just like yesterday when the prefect beat him for no reason, didn't the prefect know that beating him for no reason would cause dissatisfaction among the government officials? Of course the prefect knows, but the prefect still does it, there must be a reason behind it.

"Yes, he couldn't do anything to take advantage of my niece, so he took it out on me." Wan Dequan sighed. At first, he was just like a brother-in-law, and his brother-in-law smiled very gently. But now, after not seeing each other for 20 years, he even thought about his sister's death. There is no return home. Now he has been promoted again and is a high-ranking fourth-grade official, while he is just a lowly government servant.

The yamen servant was confused as he listened, but he knew that a public official should listen more and speak less. So the yamen servant remained silent
