wise man

It was noon the next day when I returned to the county government office. When the whole house heard that the young master had returned, they were all overjoyed.After lunch, Chen Shoushi told Butler Qin what had happened in the capital, including being named the second prince, Yang Zhen became his "concubine", and Xiao Ba was secretly protecting him, and he needed food "supply". Something, no fuss etc.

Even if Butler Qin had strong concentration, his jaw almost dropped from shock.Compared to the young master being made the second prince, Yang Zhen being a concubine is more terrifying.However, he remembered that the young master let Yang Zhen sleep in his room, and that the young master took care of him after Yang Zhen fell ill, and he finally understood what was going on.

Remembering Yang Zhen said: "The master is not a broken sleeve", Qin Butler secretly smiled bitterly, feeling a little ironic.

Chen Shoushi only rested for a while, and then went to deal with the official duties that had been left behind for the past few days.Qin Steward summoned the fat cook, Cuiwei, and Zhuzi, and told them that the young master was named the second prince, but according to the young master's instructions, there is no need to spread the matter.He also said that Yang Zhen was not only the young master's bodyguard, but also a concubine from now on.In particular, Cuiwei was told to avoid it when it was time to avoid it.

Cuiwei seemed to have been emptied of her soul in an instant, her face was pale, she ran to the backyard alone, squatted under the locust tree by the pond, covered her face with her hands, and after a while, a suppressed whimper leaked from her palm.

Yang Zhen was about to go to the back door to look at the land, when passing by, she saw Cuiwei crying alone, she hurried over and called softly, "Miss Cuiwei, what's wrong with you?"

Cuiwei's body stiffened suddenly, and she slowly raised her head from her palm, her face mottled with tears.The sun shone in her tearful eyes, reflecting needle-like sharpness.

"Pa", Yang Zhen was slapped hard on the face, Yang Zhen was stunned: "Cui..." He was pushed into the pond by Cuiwei before he could say the words after that.

Yang Zhen was caught off guard and choked on two mouthfuls of water. Fortunately, the pond was not big, so he stood up straight and asked in astonishment, "Miss Cuiwei, why did you hit me?"

Cuiwei sneered, her eyes filled with contemptuous sarcasm: "Yang Zhen, I thought you were pure and good-natured, but I didn't know you were so scheming. How did you seduce the master? Are you using your face? You are a big man, what do you want to learn?" Humei? Don't you feel ashamed?"

Yang Zhen understood, it must be the adult who announced that she was his "concubine", and it seems that Cuiwei wants to be taken over by the young master, right?Now, she is naturally annoyed that she has "occupied the magpie's nest" by herself.

It's so complicated!I just want to live a two-person world with adults and help him realize his ideals.

He climbed ashore, the water dripped down on his body, and some leaves were also stained, looking a little embarrassed.But his face was calm, and he just looked at Cuiwei with clear eyes: "Sister Cuiwei, my master and I are in love with each other, and this matter has been approved by the old lady and the current emperor. Madam gave me a forehead wipe as a proof, I I don't feel like I've done anything shameful."

Cuiwei stared at the wiping forehead on his forehead, as if wishing to burn it to ashes with her eyes, the corners of her mouth twisted with anger and unwillingness: "Madam ordered me to be the master's concubine. But She, she...it's impossible! Impossible!"

"You can go back and ask Madam yourself." Yang Zhen said, "However, I believe that the master will not like your unreasonable appearance. If you want to stay by the master's side in peace and stability, then be yourself. After today I won't tell anyone about it."

Cuiwei was stunned for two seconds, then turned and left.

Yang Zhen shook the water droplets off her body, and had to go back to her room to change clothes.Looking in the mirror, the little girl was slapped so badly that she turned red. Fearing that Chen Shoushi would notice it later, he applied cold water on it.

The weeds on the field behind have all been removed, and the field has been turned over again. Yang Zhen was very happy to see it, and went to the front office to find Hu Di: "Old Hu, we can go to farm."

Hu Di patted him hard on the shoulder: "I've spent the past few days on that field whenever I have free time. Didn't I do a good job? I also bought some vegetable seeds. Let's go, let's plant them together!"

The two walked back enthusiastically, grinning wildly: "Brother Yang, you went to the capital once, and you've become extravagant. The forehead wipe on your head is so beautiful, isn't it expensive? Where did it come from? "

"It was rewarded by my wife."

"Yes, yes, this lady is generous enough." Hu said, "You have met a good master!"

"Yes." Yang Zhen responded.

"By the way, that Gao Zhongyang..." He looked at Yang Zhen.

"how is he?"

"In the past two days, he has been quite peaceful in prison. His elder brother Gao Boming visited him and brought him medicine and food. The relationship between the two is quite harmonious."

Yang Zhen was a little comforted: "That's good."

After planting a field of green vegetables, a field of radishes, and a field of tomatoes, Yang Zhen said: "The rest should be planted with fruits. My lord also said that we should plant some peach trees. I know a peach farmer under Yunyong Mountain named Mr. Geng." Two, after the Shangsi Festival tomorrow, I will ask him for some seedlings. We can also plant cherries, pears and so on. We will have to wait until we are done tomorrow.”

"What are you busy with tomorrow?"

"My lord will give orders later. I still have something to do, so I'll go back first."

Yang Zhen went back to the study and saw Chen Shoushi reading papers at his desk alone, so he knocked on the door: "My lord, can my subordinates come in?"

"Come in." Chen Shoushi looked up at him, "Why are you sweating?"

"It belongs to farming."

Chen Shoushi took out his handkerchief and wiped his sweat for him: "The journey is hard, and I don't want to rest for a while."

"My lord, you are working all by yourself, how dare you slack off your subordinates?" Yang Zhen said, "My subordinates want to go to Bafang Lane to find Gao Boming, and ask him how the arrangements are, so as to ensure a smooth tomorrow."

"Okay, I wanted to go too, but I still have a lot of things to do at hand, so I don't know what to do. You can go for me."

"Yes, my lord."

Bafangxiang, Gao's family, Gao Boming is just in the mansion.The servants brought Yang Zhen into the mansion, and Gao Boming happily said: "Guard Yang, you are back? This journey has been hard. Come, come, please sit down." He ordered the servants to serve tea, "Drink some Mingqian tea to relieve fatigue. .”

"Grandpa, I don't know how many people have you invited to the party tomorrow?"

Gao Boming took out a list: "Including me, there are 18 people in total, all of whom are celebrities in Changzhou County." He pointed, "These two are the heads of the Qin and Chu families in Bafang Lane, Qin Wenzhi, Chu Xiyu. These few are from a scholarly family, and their family background is above average, but they are all very elegant. These few are..."

After introducing them one by one, he said: "Tomorrow morning at six o'clock, we will gather at the foot of the mountain. I will set up a banquet there first. I will arrange the drinks and dishes, so you don't need Mr. Chen to worry about it."

"Well, what's the point of this?" Yang Zhen thought to himself, this Gao Boming may be half out of admiration for his lord, and half out of pleading for his brother.

Gao Boming seemed to see what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "I don't have any selfishness, I just admire you as a good official who loves the people like a son, and I hope to do my best for Changzhou County. Please go back and tell your lord that Gao Willingly."

Yang Zhen said apologetically, "I'm playing against the villain's heart, please forgive me, Lord Gao."

"Where?" Gao Boming said, "It's human nature for you to think that way." He paused for a while, and said, "I know the situation in the county, and my lord is in short supply, of course it's better for me to come... There is no need to say this to adults.”

Yang Zhen couldn't help laughing.

"Thank you so much, Gao Ye, I'll go back and report to your lord."

He went back to the yamen to meet Chen Shoushi and reported Gao Boming's arrangements one by one.Chen Shoushi said with satisfaction: "Changzhou County has such a benevolent and wealthy businessman as Gao Boming. It is really a blessing for Changzhou County, and it is also my luck."

Yang Zhen said: "It is because of your magnanimity that the people admire and follow you. Changzhou County is lucky to have such a good official as your lord."

Chen Shoushi gently pinched the corner of his mouth: "Your mouth is becoming more and more flattering."

Yang Zhen said mischievously: "Does your lord want to hold your subordinate's mouth?"

He still remembered what Chen Shoushi said last time: "Who taught you these flattery words? If you are so glib in the future, be careful that I will smack your mouth!"

Chen Shoushi patted his mouth lightly, and said with a smile: "I remember it so firmly, I have a grudge."

For some reason, Yang Zhen only felt that Chen Shoushi's expression was extremely vivid, such an adult made his heart itch, like being brushed by a feather.

"How dare my subordinates?" The words sounded a bit coquettish.Yang Zhen secretly blushed, she was actually four years older than Chen Shoushi, why did she become "younger" in front of this man?

Chen Shoushi pulled him down, leaned over and kissed his lips, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm not a god, don't hook me up for prostitution..."

Yang Zhen blushed blushingly, quickly stepped back a few steps, and stood with hands down.

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Chen Shoushi couldn't help but smile again.

"When you finish your work tomorrow, you can come and fulfill your duties as a 'concubine'." He jokingly said, but his voice was so gentle that it made people indulge.

Yang Zhen noticed something strange behind her, and when she turned her head, she saw Cuiwei's back as if fleeing.
