Qingzhou trip

Chapter 42

Zou Shiyan rested in the official post all night, learned to be smart the next day, and waited for King Jin to send someone to reply before making arrangements.This time it was noon.There was no one from King Jin's side.Zou Shiyan is bookish, and he thinks highly of himself.So he put on an appearance of being quiet and governed, writing and reading in the official post.

All the officials in Shahaili heard the news and came to ask for an interview, but they were all blocked by Zou Shiyan's people.But the names and official positions of the visitors were written down one by one, so that Zou Shiyan could check them easily.

Everything that should come has come, and there is basically nothing empty-handed.Only the magistrate of Shahai County, Penglai County, sent the head of the county government office to ask for food coupons, which he used as a voucher to settle the monthly entertainment expenses with the official station.

"I still don't believe it, this little Shahai is about to turn against the heavens." The person who was furious in the room was Zou Shiyan's nominal entourage, but in fact his wife and younger brother Lu Xin, "Brother-in-law, we have to investigate."

"What are you looking for?" Zou Shiyan stared at the book in his hand without raising his eyes.

"Check to see if the county magistrate of Shahai has been corrupt, perverted the law, plundered, or formed a clique for personal gain. I heard that she has been in Shahai for 12 years, but I don't believe that she didn't reveal the fox's tail." He is a seventh-rank official in another county, but he has big ambitions, and he insists on doing something in the northwest with his brother-in-law before returning to Beijing to be an official.

"How to check?" Zou Shiyan put down his book, and when Lu Xin approached, he realized that his brother-in-law was not studying, but was watching Sha Hai's official evaluations over the years. "The county magistrate Xie's evaluations for the past ten years have always been 'stubborn and unsurpassed'. If I had seen this earlier, I would not have sent you to the gate of the city to eat the dry fried sand."

"Just now I had a chat with a defender Sima, and he said that Xie Penglai was also invited by King Jin, and he went to the palace to give lectures almost every day." Lu Xin laughed so hard, "Our only two copies His Highness was sent to Shahai, and he couldn't even hire a Jinshi-born master, so he had to find a Juren."

Zou Shiyan frowned.If Lu Xin's domineering appearance yesterday offended Xie Penglai, she would have to criticize Zhao Yifang.Thinking of this, Zou Shiyan suddenly touched his forehead, and said softly, "It's broken."

But after being "broken", he rushed to the outside of King Jin's mansion to blow the cold wind to ask for a meeting, which was not in line with his status as a former intellectual. "After staying here for 12 years, can the actual number of property delivery and the name of the nest match each year? There is no prison case that is too harsh or wrongly sentenced to miscarriage? Or cheating the boss or not doing land reclamation, if you really want to investigate, you can find her faults everywhere." He looked at his wife and younger brother and said earnestly, "As for taking stolen goods and committing crimes. , It is time-consuming to check, and if there is real evidence, I will add a sum, and I don’t expect to find it on the top.”

As long as it can be found out, with Zou Shiyan's top three writing brushes, the whip will surely penetrate and blood will splatter three feet.

"I'm just afraid...would I offend King Jin?" Lu Xin still had some brains after all.

"I won't come to the Northwest for fear of offending me." Zou Shiyan has always liked to name his names, even the emperor's harem, let alone a disheartened King Jin who is out of power?

There was a frightened hawk chirping from the sky outside the window, and the two of them opened the door and came out to watch for a while.After a long while, Zou Shiyan said, "Although there are many people who collect eagles and play with dogs in Beijing, how can you see many such wild animals?"

Xie Penglai finished speaking "The Book of the Later Han" today. After a few days, she has become familiar with King Jin's diligence and thoughtfulness, but she is surprised that Yun Bailu is no longer as naughty as she was when she was young, and she has made great progress in her studies recently.When a hawk blew past the eaves, Xie Penglai and King Jin looked up at the same time, but Yun Bailu, who used to love hawks, dogs, horses and cockfights, turned a deaf ear to it, and still bowed his head to the book and thought deeply.

Zhao Yifang winked at Xie Penglai, and the two of them walked out of the study first, and walked along the veranda and the garden to enjoy the scenery.Speaking of "scenery", the northwest is bitterly cold and barren, so naturally there is no peach blossom and flowing water in the capital.Zhao Yifang just talked to Xie Penglai in the gap after the daily lectures.

After reading dozens of pages, Yun Bailu looked up and found that she was the only one left in the study.She walked to the bookshelf she was familiar with, and the one on top was the military scroll that her mother had read repeatedly.She took off the book and flipped through it, and was startled for a moment when she saw the handwriting left by her mother.After thinking about it, I stuffed it into my book bag and wanted to take it home to continue reading.

Being able to study while holding a salary is a beautiful thing that many people dream of.When Yun Fangjiang gained power, Yun Bailu ignored the persuasion of his father and Xie Penglai.After going through a lot of hardships, I suddenly realized that this opportunity fell on me for the second time.Although I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Jinwang Gourd, since Yun Bailu has become a waiter, he will make [-]% of the job.

Except for the matter of going to the county government office to help Xie Penglai Supervisor Academy, Yun Bailu's life is not like when he just returned to the city.She spends two hours a day in the clinic for consultations, and goes to the wine alley to drink a pot of wine.After the itching on her body was cured a lot, her drinking capacity gradually decreased.Go to Yueniang's house for a meal, and then retreat to the house to read at night by candlelight.

The ancients preferred to study Laoshizi's red sleeves to add fragrance, while the talented scholar of this dynasty, Mr. Xiao Song, the Hongxing Shangshu, likes to hug his concubines on the left and right when he is studying.Yun Bailu felt that the taste of reading she tasted was different. Outside the window was the sound of beautiful women striking iron, and inside the courtyard was an old tree and a deep well, with a jug of spirits on the table.When you get drunk, just put on your clothes and go to bed.

At noon today, when we arrived at the door of Li Suyue's shop, Yan Yunhan came back from drinking and said that Yan Niang from the silk shop was coming to eat today, and Li Shancui might not be able to work in the back kitchen by himself, so Li Suyue went to help.

"You can sit with my cousin."

Yun Bailu curled her lips when she heard this job, and still said, "That's fine." She has seen Yanniang and Li Suyue when they bridle outside the city together, and she has also heard about Li Suyue returning the lamb fur three times.In short, there was no retreat, and the relationship between the two families seemed to be getting closer.

Every now and then, Yueniang would be approached by Yanniang, one day to repair the door bolt, the next day to hit horseshoes.There was even a time when Yue Niang came back with black and white faces, saying that she helped Yan Niang repair the stove.

If Yanniang looks for it a few more times, she is afraid that Yueniang is not only a blacksmith, but also a carpenter, painter, and stonemason.

With a smile on her pretty face, Yun Bailu first went to the kitchen to greet Li Suyue.It was still Shancui who responded affectionately, but Yueniang just nodded without seeing any expression on her dull face.

Bite the bullet and meet Yanniang, the scene of pushing the door opened made her open her mouth again: Yanniang is mending clothes.Next to it are two stacks that should belong to Yan Yunhan and Li Shancui.The one on her lap was Li Suyue's.

"Yan Niang, I'm busy." Yun Bailu sat down, looking for something to say.

"Yun Shidu is here too." The acquaintances in Shahai will shout "Yun Shidu" when they meet Yun Bailu. Although he is no longer the daughter of the handsome mansion, but he has entered the palace again. To fight for her. "Although Yueniang and the others can also sew clothes, they are from blacksmiths, and their manual work is not as good as mine. If I have nothing to do, I will help them mend their clothes." Yanniang looked at Yun Bailu's legendary engraving. Looking at Bai Zhi's face, her watery eyes flickered, "Yun Shidu looks really good."

Yun Bailu gave a dry laugh, "Thank you." She called Yan Niang "a real beauty" and it was not considered a compliment.Her eyebrows are curved like a moon, her eyes are clear, and her skin is like snow.She is a well-known beauty in Shahai City. She was redeemed by the silk and satin village's husband's family for 50 taels of silver.

The two looked at each other again, Yun Bailu was really speechless, so he turned out the book and started to read.After reading a few lines, she realized that Yanniang was looking at her.

"Huh?" She looked up.

"Yunshi is reading "Sima's Art of War"?" Yan Niang asked with a smile.

"You know this?" Yun Bailu was taken aback.

"I'm ashamed to say that my father used to be an official in Sihu and joined the army. He knew the importance of soldiers in Dianbian for several years. Later, he was convicted of defeating the army by the commander. As a result, all my people were sent to Shahai. When I was young, there were many military books in my family. I was taught to read a few books by my father." Yan Niang's smile concealed a trace of sadness, "I have forgotten it now." After she finished speaking, she continued to look down at the needle and thread in her hand.

"Then... are you willing?" Yun Bailu asked Yanniang in a low voice.

"I'm not an eagle, but now I just want to be a peaceful bird." Yanniang pursed her lips and smiled.

Oh, but you have come to Li's shop six times this month, how can you be safe?

Yun Bailu grabbed the book in his hand tightly, "Winged Wing Valley, isn't it just for the sake of soaring into the sky?"

Yan Niang's astonished eyes immediately turned into a smile, "Yes, after all, Yun Shidu is not an ordinary bird, not like us Xiaomin." She purposely emphasized the word "Xiaomin".

Yun Bailu stood up, "There is not much difference." She walked out of this room, feeling weird and angry all the time.When she frowned and bit her lip, she met Li Suyue who came forward with food.

Li Suyue looked at her and frowned at Yun Bailu, "It's time to eat, where else do you want to go?" There was a hint of anger in her tone, which sounded like dissatisfaction, Yun Bailu was stunned, " Stop eating!"

The temperamental daughter of the Yun family suddenly returned.She flung her sleeves and left, regretting after taking only two steps, looking back, Li Suyue was also looking at herself in bewilderment and puzzlement.

"I made a plate rabbit." Li Suyue said.

"Hey." The discouraged Yun Bailu turned around and took the plate for her, "I'll go and put it."
