"Brother Dong, Qingchen has come to write a letter." Mother Su met Butler Tao outside the small courtyard. After chatting for a few words, she knew the intention of the other party's visit. She happily accepted the letter and ran back. They live here very well. With no worries about food and clothing, Su Dong can also take care of the baby, but he is worried about Du Qingchen who is outside. Because of this, Su Dong has had several nightmares, dreaming that something happened to Du Qingchen outside.
Su Dong covered his stomach with one hand, and stood up from the chair. He didn't like to leave the courtyard on weekdays. He was afraid of causing trouble to others, so he stayed in the courtyard allocated to them all day long, and usually only sat in the small courtyard. Breathe through.
Hearing Su's mother's words, Su Dong quickly greeted her, "Really?"
"Yes, come on, I'll show you." Mother Su handed the letter to Su Dong with a happy expression on her face.
Other people in the house also heard the sound. Seeing this, Butler Tao smiled and cupped his hands and said, "How are you living here these days? If you need anything, you must tell the servants. What you want to eat and wear Playing or something, you must also say, don't be polite! Just treat it as your own home."
"The butler is very polite. Everything is fine for us. Tao Mansion is considerate in everything. We are very grateful." Du Rulin said hastily.
"It should be, hehe, how is the young master's review now? Is Master Xia's teaching okay?"
"All good, Mr. Xia is very knowledgeable, and I have benefited a lot from it."
"That's fine." Tao Butler nodded, and then turned to Su Dong, who was holding the letter with a happy face, "Mrs. Du is pregnant, is she sleeping well these days? Do you move around on weekdays? Although my Tao Mansion is not counted. What a noble and deep house, but there is also a nice garden. If Mrs. Du has nothing to do, you can go to see Jinger to relax and strengthen your body. By the way, starting tomorrow, I will invite the doctor from the mansion to give Madam a pulse , I wonder if it is convenient?"
"This..." Su Dong was so flattered that he couldn't answer for a while.
Du Rulin hurriedly said: "This is not suitable! My sister-in-law is in good health and has no discomfort at all. How can she be like the masters of your mansion, asking the doctor in the mansion to diagnose a safe pulse?"
"It should be, everyone is a distinguished guest of my Tao Mansion! You can't be too considerate, hehehe..." Butler Tao laughed, "In that case, I will invite the doctor over tomorrow. I think everyone will read the family letter , then don't bother me for now, take your leave, stay here, don't send me off!" Tao Butler retreated out with a smile, preventing Du Rulin from sending someone away.
Du Rulin didn't insist either, he was also very curious about his brother's family letter, and when everyone returned to the house, Su's mother said nervously: "I don't know what happened to Qingchen, I don't know how I live outside these days!"
Du's father also frowned, and the mother who traveled thousands of miles was worried. Although he was a father, he was both a father and a mother, and he was even more worried. Mother Su is so emotional.
Su Dong has already handed the letter to Du Rulin, "I don't know a few words, let me read it to you!"
Du Rulin also knew this. He was the only one in the room who could read all the words in this letter, and he didn't give in. Instead, he took it and cleared his throat. He glanced at the cover and saw that it said, "Brother Dong Qi', Du Rulin curled his lips, his brother didn't know what he was thinking, could it be that this letter was only addressed to his sister-in-law, and there was a large group of people here, such as himself, who also wanted to receive a letter from his brother's family!
Du Rulin opened the cover and took out the letter paper inside. He was used to reading Du Qingchen's handwriting, and Du Qingchen's handwriting has become better recently. , although the word is ugly at first glance!
Du Rulin began to read, "Brother Dong, I have arrived in Yuan County, everything is fine, Young Master Tao is taking good care of me, Master Shao is kind and approachable, and all the officials I come into contact with are upright and pure, I haven't encountered any embarrassment, so there is no need to worry about it. "
Everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they didn't suffer any bullying.
Du Rulin continued: "Are you okay? Is the baby in your stomach okay? I have entrusted the people in Tao Mansion to take care of you. If you feel uncomfortable, don't be afraid to trouble others. You must tell the people in Tao Mansion. No matter if you are a doctor or you are short of food and clothing, don't be polite to them. Remember to put your body first, and I can repay all the kindness. Because I am able to do things well, I have made contributions recently. I think coming to Tao Mansion will treat you well. Even better, you don't need to panic, just accept it with peace of mind."
"No wonder Steward Tao said that just now, and he still has to find a doctor for Brother Dong to ask for peace of mind. The co-author is Qingchen who has done meritorious service outside?!" Su Mu said.
Du's father nodded, "Anyway, as long as Qingchen is away, everything goes well."
Everyone nodded, it must have been smooth and smooth after making meritorious service!
Du Rulin continued to read: "But I still feel a little uncomfortable. Although the original county is hot and dry, I feel cold and lonely in my heart. Do you know why?"
Everyone's hearts were raised, why? !
"Because this is a place without you...er..." Du Rulin couldn't continue reading for a while, "Because I don't have you, I can't eat, I can't sleep, I look at the moonlight at night, even in the middle of the moon is your face .”
Crowd: ...
Su Dong's face was already flushed with embarrassment, how could such... such boudoir love words be written in the family letter!Oh, by the way, this family book seems to have written "Brother Dong's personal instruction", and it was written for him alone. Su Dong didn't know many words, but he did know some characters, and they all learned them from Du Qingchen. I thought that this letter would end up in Su Dong's hands, and Su Dong would read it by himself. After all, he didn't use any complicated words, even in vernacular, which Su Dong could understand.
But who would have thought that he would be publicly executed.
Du Rulin's face was also a little red, but no one told him to stop, so he could only continue to stutter, "I gradually realized that being as smart as I am has flaws, and that's flaws in you."
Crowd: ...
Su Dong already wanted to find a hole to get in, it was too scary to be surrounded by elders to hear such a letter!Su Dong didn't know how to describe this feeling, but he felt extremely ashamed.
"You know? I actually think you're a bit too much, you're too cute, too charming, too gentle..." Du Rulin's face was already flushed, but he still read on instinctively, "I even think you're Kill me, cause me to like you so much..."
Du Rulin felt that something was cracking in his heart inch by inch, making a crackling sound. The image of his elder brother, who was steady, majestic, resourceful, and towering like a mountain, collapsed at this moment in his heart. .
Du's father coughed, and with the stability of an old father, he said calmly: "Skip these over, is there anything else, about us." The stinky son's family letters are only for his daughter-in-law!Up to now, he didn't even greet his helpless old father!
Du Rulin finally breathed a sigh of relief, quickly scanned through the long paragraph of love story, went straight to the last page, and said: "Yes, yes! I mentioned it, brother said, hello to parents, hello to parents, and ask them to take care of themselves , Tell Rulin, don’t study hard and go back and wait to be beaten..."
This must not be his biological brother...
Speak!In the end, he or his brother, who was picked up at home...
"It's gone?!" Father Du was dissatisfied.
"No...it's gone." Du Rulin said aggrievedly, and returned the letter to Su Dong. Why did he take it and read it!This is not a letter from home at all, it is for Su Dong alone.
Su Dong took it, clutched his chest, turned around and left, not daring to stay here any longer, the atmosphere was slightly awkward for a moment.
Du Rulin had no choice but to comfort him: "After all, we are all fine and we are taken care of by the Tao family. My brother is definitely not worried, but my sister-in-law is pregnant! It's normal for my brother to worry about him, and he also greeted us." Greeting him when he was beaten, Du Rulin was heartbroken.
Du's father shook his head and left. His son really didn't want his old father anymore when he grew up. He only thought about his wife. Although Su's father and Su's mother were also embarrassed, they only had Su Dong in their hearts. I feel at ease, but it's nothing.
In Yuan County, Du Qingchen sneezed heavily.
Tao Xiude raised his head vigilantly, "What's the matter? Could it be that you are sick? There is a lack of medical care here, so you have to hold on!"
"It's okay, but my nose is a little itchy. I don't know who is talking about me." Du Qingchen lowered his head and continued to settle accounts.
Tao Xiude smiled, "Maybe it's the letter from the family! People are talking about you!"
Du Qingchen thought about it and nodded, thinking it was very possible.
Tao Xiude put the account book in front of Du Qingchen, "Come on, we will be able to go back after we finish distributing the food."
Du Qingchen nodded, "Don't worry." As he spoke, he calculated with a charcoal pencil again.
Tao Xiude looked at it for a while, but he didn't see the reason for Du Qingchen's fast calculation, so he couldn't help but asked, "What are you writing and drawing? You don't need an abacus, but you calculate quickly, and I didn't see it. Something went wrong."
"It's just the formula, you don't understand, I'm a gadget I researched, and I rely on it for a living!" Du Qingchen chuckled. He didn't have the idea of promoting Arabic numerals and their algorithms here. Trouble, secondly, there is no benefit, maybe I have to be a master to teach others, it is not tiring enough.It's only a skill that you can learn by yourself, and Du Rulin can also learn it to use it for the exam, but others, forget it!
Tao Xiude heard that Du Qingchen didn't want to talk more, and he didn't ask any more questions. He was a person who wanted to take the formal imperial examination, and he wasn't very interested in these strange and obscene things.He also said: "Okay! Anyway, if you do the math, I can just be lazy and go to study for the exam."
Tao Xiude stretched his waist and was about to slip out, but Du Qingchen didn't stop him. Anyway, he wouldn't be able to help much if he stayed, so it's okay to let him go to study.
After half a month, the disaster relief came to an end, Tao Xiude and the others finally got some free time, Shao Qing was in charge of the overall situation, but he was still busy, and Du Qingchen finally couldn't find a reason to default on Shao Qing's hot and sour noodles, after all, Shao Qing was in high position Weight, a little tossing is fine, if it really makes the other party angry, then he will have a hard time.
Du Qingchen found a free day, found a kitchen, and didn't need his own small pot, so he made a pot of hot and sour noodles. There are indeed no fruits and vegetables in the kitchen. The place is dry, and even the well water is a deep well The muddy water from the river needs to stand for a while before it can be used, let alone other things.
However, Du Qingchen still dug out a few potatoes, fried some French fries, and fried a few vegetables. There was still some dried meat in his dry food. Du Qingchen also took it out and tore up the soup, making a table full of vegetables. It was placed in the flower hall of the government office, and then someone invited Shao Qing, Tao Xiude and others.
In the study, Shao Qing stopped writing, "He invited me to dinner?"
"Yes." The servant said: "I owe you a meal, and I haven't had time to make it. Now that I am free, I specially made it for you to taste."
Shao Qing snorted coldly. It's not that he doesn't know Du Qingchen's careful thoughts, but he just doesn't care about him. He can't ask Du Qingchen to let Du Qingchen put down his work and cook for him just for the sake of a bite, so he just pretends he doesn't know , he thought that Du Qingchen was planning to confuse the past, but now he finally remembered it? !
"Okay, since Mr. Du finally remembered that he still owes me a meal, then go and have a look." Shao Qing stood up and ate the pickled vegetable buns for so long, even if he could endure hardship, he couldn't bear it. I miss the extravagant life in the capital, even if there is no such exquisite food in Beijing, it would be nice to have a change of taste.Shao Qing secretly swallowed her saliva, which didn't fit her identity at all.
In the flower hall, Tao Xiude had already arrived, and Su Junxia was with him. When they saw Shao Qing coming, they turned around and saluted Shao Qing.
"Get up! You're welcome, my own." Shao Qing sat down casually and looked around at the dishes on the table. The bowl of hot and sour noodles, next to it is still the steamed bread that he is about to vomit, but it looks very rich, life is afraid of comparison!Compared to what I ate these days, the meal in front of me was pretty good.
Shao Qing raised her eyebrows, in a good mood, "Sit down! You're welcome."
Tao Xiude and Su Junxia also sat down, and Du Qingchen took the wine and poured it for everyone, "This is the wine I brought, there is only one jug, I just found it out of the luggage, I don't know what my mother thinks, Maybe it's because I don't have enough luggage, so I was asked to go out with wine." Du Qingchen smiled.
Shao Qing raised his glass and sniffed it in front of his nose. At the beginning, there was still wine in Yuan County, but later, when things got busy, he couldn't care about it. Later, the wine was drunk at some point, but he didn't drink it. A few sips, and the small place is full of bad wine, he is not very interested, but Du Qingchen's wine is good, even in the provincial capital, it is also one of the best, his mother must not bring the wine in Du Qingchen's luggage, it must not be low-quality wine .
Shao Qing raised his glass and said, "It's a good deal for me." As he spoke, he drank it down in one gulp.
"It's good that Master Shao is not angry." Du Qingchen said with a smile: "I have been busy before, but the matter of agreeing to Master Shao has dragged on until now."
Shao Qing patted the table lightly with his fingers. After a long time, he said, "You're busy, it's okay."
Seeing this, Tao Xiude also interjected, "Yes! Brother Du is indeed very busy. These days, he is almost the only one who calculates the accounts, and there are no mistakes or omissions."
Shao Qing heard the words, and said lightly: "If he is alone busy, what about you? What did you do?"
"Eh..." Tao Xiude smiled, "Isn't I just stealing half a day's leisure?"
"Forget it if you're free. I think you're born to work hard, so you should prepare for the exam well. I hope to see you in the officialdom soon." Shao Qing said.
Tao Xiude got up in surprise when he heard the words, and bowed to Shao Qing, "I will live up to my lord's expectations!"
Does this mean that you are very optimistic about him? !His Tao family is attached to the fifth prince, but the people under the fifth prince also have a distinction between high and low, and whether they can be used or not. He got Shao Qing's favor before he entered the officialdom. Wouldn't it be a little more for no reason when he entered the officialdom? The help of a high position? !It would be even better if he could speak kindly in front of the Fifth Prince for him!
"Where is Mr. Du? Do you want to enter the officialdom?" Shao Qing asked.Even if Du Qingchen was a little arrogant, he would think carefully about targeting him, but Shao Qing was still optimistic about this person. One of the reasons why he was optimistic about Tao Xiude was that he knew people well, and the people he brought were very reliable and useful.
Du Qingchen hesitated and said, "I don't study much. I really have no talent and incompetence. I can only be a small businessman."
"I don't want to! Forget it, I won't force others to be difficult." Shao Qing nodded and sat up straight, "It's okay! I still remember your kindness! Don't worry."
"Thank you, sir." Du Qingchen cupped his hands.
Shao Qing didn't ask Su Junxia. Su Junxia's martial arts ability is not outstanding, even inferior to Gao Han, so it's not worth his asking.
After they ate for a while, Tao Xiude asked, "I wonder what your lord's plan is going to be?"
Shao Qing put down his chopsticks, "When the matter here is finished, you accompany me to pray for rain and reorganize the administration, and then return to the capital."
"Praying for rain, is it useful?" Du Qingchen had seen praying for rain before in Pingxing County, but it was just a feudal superstition, but he couldn't say that. He just asked with a puzzled look. He felt that it was not appropriate to waste people and money at this time.
"Whether it's useful or not, who knows! It's just to give the people peace of mind and stabilize the hearts of the people." Shao Qing himself can't tell. People just look at it.
Du Qingchen nodded, unexpectedly Shao Qing didn't really believe this, which is quite rare in this era.Du Qingchen raised his glass and said, "Then I hope that my lord's prayer for rain will go well, and Han County will get through the drought as soon as possible."
Shao Qing raised his glass and touched him lightly, "Thank you for your good words." After speaking, he drank it down with a smile.
Outside the flower hall, when everyone didn't notice, the sky was gradually covered with dark clouds, and a faint wind blew past. As Shao Qing drank the wine in his glass, there was a sudden thunder and a loud bang that shook the world, and the three of them were startled , immediately got up and walked out of the flower hall. Outside, the sky had already darkened, a sign of heavy rain.
Shao Qing was very pleasantly surprised, "Hahaha, it's going to rain!"
"It's finally going to rain." Tao Xiude said with emotion: "If this continues, Han Jun will collapse." When Han Jun collapses, his family will also collapse.
"Congratulations, my lord. It must have been my lord's sincerity in begging for rain that moved the heavens and brought the heavy rain." Du Qingchen turned around and bowed to Shao Qing with a smile.
Only then did Shao Qing focus on Du Qingchen, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Thank you for your good words! You are lucky." Whatever you say, come here to please him. .
Du Qingchen chuckled, didn't explain anything, and his expression relaxed. It's raining, so he can go home.
Su Dong covered his stomach with one hand, and stood up from the chair. He didn't like to leave the courtyard on weekdays. He was afraid of causing trouble to others, so he stayed in the courtyard allocated to them all day long, and usually only sat in the small courtyard. Breathe through.
Hearing Su's mother's words, Su Dong quickly greeted her, "Really?"
"Yes, come on, I'll show you." Mother Su handed the letter to Su Dong with a happy expression on her face.
Other people in the house also heard the sound. Seeing this, Butler Tao smiled and cupped his hands and said, "How are you living here these days? If you need anything, you must tell the servants.

"All good, Mr. Xia is very knowledgeable, and I have benefited a lot from it."
"That's fine." Tao Butler nodded, and then turned to Su Dong, who was holding the letter with a happy face, "Mrs. Du is pregnant, is she sleeping well these days? Do you move around on weekdays? Although my Tao Mansion is not counted. What a noble and deep house, but there is also a nice garden. If Mrs. Du has nothing to do, you can go to see Jinger to relax and strengthen your body.

I think everyone will read the family letter , then don't bother me for now, take your leave, stay here, don't send me off!" Tao Butler retreated out with a smile, preventing Du Rulin from sending someone away.
Du Rulin didn't insist either, he was also very curious about his brother's family letter, and when everyone returned to the house, Su's mother said nervously: "I don't know what happened to Qingchen, I don't know how I live outside these days!"

Tao Xiude and Su Junxia also sat down, and Du Qingchen took the wine and poured it for everyone, "This is the wine I brought, there is only one jug, I just found it out of the luggage, I don't know what my mother thinks, Maybe it's because I don't have enough luggage, so I was asked to go out with wine." Du Qingchen smiled.
Shao Qing raised his glass and sniffed it in front of his nose. At the beginning, there was still wine in Yuan County, but later, when things got busy, he couldn't care about it. Later, the wine was drunk at some point, but he didn't drink it. A few sips, and the small place is full of bad wine, he is not very interested, but Du Qingchen's wine is good, even in the provincial capital, it is also one of the best, his mother must not bring the wine in Du Qingchen's luggage, it must not be low-quality wine .
Shao Qing raised his glass and said, "It's a good deal for me." As he spoke, he drank it down in one gulp.
"It's good that Master Shao is not angry." Du Qingchen said with a smile: "I have been busy before, but the matter of agreeing to Master Shao has dragged on until now."
Shao Qing patted the table lightly with his fingers. After a long time, he said, "You're busy, it's okay."
Seeing this, Tao Xiude also interjected, "Yes! Brother Du is indeed very busy. These days, he is almost the only one who calculates the accounts, and there are no mistakes or omissions."
Shao Qing heard the words, and said lightly: "If he is alone busy, what about you? What did you do?"
"Eh..." Tao Xiude smiled, "Isn't I just stealing half a day's leisure?"
"Forget it if you're free. I think you're born to work hard, so you should prepare for the exam well. I hope to see you in the officialdom soon." Shao Qing said.
Tao Xiude got up in surprise when he heard the words, and bowed to Shao Qing, "I will live up to my lord's expectations!"
Does this mean that you are very optimistic about him? !His Tao family is attached to the fifth prince, but the people under the fifth prince also have a distinction between high and low, and whether they can be used or not. He got Shao Qing's favor before he entered the officialdom. Wouldn't it be a little more for no reason when he entered the officialdom? The help of a high position? !It would be even better if he could speak kindly in front of the Fifth Prince for him!
"Where is Mr. Du? Do you want to enter the officialdom?" Shao Qing asked.Even if Du Qingchen was a little arrogant, he would think carefully about targeting him, but Shao Qing was still optimistic about this person. One of the reasons why he was optimistic about Tao Xiude was that he knew people well, and the people he brought were very reliable and useful.
Du Qingchen hesitated and said, "I don't study much. I really have no talent and incompetence. I can only be a small businessman."
"I don't want to! Forget it, I won't force others to be difficult." Shao Qing nodded and sat up straight, "It's okay! I still remember your kindness! Don't worry."
"Thank you, sir." Du Qingchen cupped his hands.
Shao Qing didn't ask Su Junxia. Su Junxia's martial arts ability is not outstanding, even inferior to Gao Han, so it's not worth his asking.
After they ate for a while, Tao Xiude asked, "I wonder what your lord's plan is going to be?"
Shao Qing put down his chopsticks, "When the matter here is finished, you accompany me to pray for rain and reorganize the administration, and then return to the capital."
"Praying for rain, is it useful?" Du Qingchen had seen praying for rain before in Pingxing County, but it was just a feudal superstition, but he couldn't say that. He just asked with a puzzled look. He felt that it was not appropriate to waste people and money at this time.
"Whether it's useful or not, who knows! It's just to give the people peace of mind and stabilize the hearts of the people." Shao Qing himself can't tell. People just look at it.
Du Qingchen nodded, unexpectedly Shao Qing didn't really believe this, which is quite rare in this era.Du Qingchen raised his glass and said, "Then I hope that my lord's prayer for rain will go well, and Han County will get through the drought as soon as possible."
Shao Qing raised his glass and touched him lightly, "Thank you for your good words." After speaking, he drank it down with a smile.
Outside the flower hall, when everyone didn't notice, the sky was gradually covered with dark clouds, and a faint wind blew past. As Shao Qing drank the wine in his glass, there was a sudden thunder and a loud bang that shook the world, and the three of them were startled , immediately got up and walked out of the flower hall. Outside, the sky had already darkened, a sign of heavy rain.
Shao Qing was very pleasantly surprised, "Hahaha, it's going to rain!"
"It's finally going to rain." Tao Xiude said with emotion: "If this continues, Han Jun will collapse." When Han Jun collapses, his family will also collapse.
"Congratulations, my lord. It must have been my lord's sincerity in begging for rain that moved the heavens and brought the heavy rain." Du Qingchen turned around and bowed to Shao Qing with a smile.
Only then did Shao Qing focus on Du Qingchen, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Thank you for your good words! You are lucky." Whatever you say, come here to please him. .
Du Qingchen chuckled, didn't explain anything, and his expression relaxed. It's raining, so he can go home.
