The Starting Point of Raising a Husband

The county magistrate Cao is forty or fifty years old this year. He has a round face and is not tall. He looks a little fat and his face looks smoother.

She got out of the sedan chair, stood beside the carriage with her **** in her chest and waited to get off.

Although she is seventh rank, Shi Qing is only sixth rank, but compared with seventh rank local officials, the Beijing officials of the sixth rank are more than one level higher, not to mention that Shi Qing is an imperial envoy, and his mother It is the imperial censor of the third grade of the dynasty.

The carriage stopped steadily, Yun Zhi lifted the curtain with the hilt of his sword and jumped down first, without stepping on the footstool.

The county magistrate Cao noticed just now that the handsome and tall man beside Shi Qing, and now that he looks at it again, he still finds it unforgettable.

What he can remember is not just his outstanding appearance, but his unique temperament.

It's generous and unrestrained.

Like, clean and fresh.

Compared to the boudoir man, he is more like a gangster.

Yun Zhi stood beside the car, stretched out his hand and continued to lift the curtain with the hilt of his sword, waiting for Shi Qing inside to finish swallowing the cherries in his mouth.

Yun Zhi couldn't help but smile when she thought of her cheeks full of cherries and raised her eyebrows at him proudly.

He didn't really want to rob her.

Shi Qing coughed twice, and finally bent down and got out of the carriage.

Different from the refreshing and open feeling of Yunzhi, Shiqing is a typical open-minded and bright, without any restraint.

Especially in her red dress, it complements her beautiful appearance, which makes people unable to look away.

No wonder it is Jinke Tanhua, it is really beautiful.

The magistrate Cao's attitude became more and more respectful, and he introduced the situation of the yamen to Shiqing in detail, as well as some surrounding buildings with allusions and history.

On the way to the yamen, there was basically no cold scene.

The room at the inn has been returned, and I stayed at the Yamen side at night. The county magistrate said that the rooms have been packed in advance.

At the sight of Shang Shiqing, the magistrate Cao lowered his head and smiled and said, "I really don't dare to hide from the hour, from the moment you entered the city, Xiaguan received the news."

The county magistrate Cao has always been noticed, just for fear of neglecting the imperial envoy from the capital.

In addition, Master Li and Master Sun, who had been entertained in Beijing, also wrote to say that Shi Qing is different from others and should be served carefully.

Master Cao thought that Shi Qing was old-fashioned and thoughtful, otherwise, how could Master Sun and Li be so fearful, only to find out that they were so young and fresh when they met just now.

Ready for a room?"

Yun Zhi walked beside Shi Qing with his sword in his arms.

He pretended to look around at the scenery and looked curious, but in fact his ears were pricked up.

"No, this is my husband, we live together." Shi Qing pointed to Mihe and Yaqing, afraid that the county magistrate would misunderstand that they were a couple, so he said, "It's fine for the two to live separately. , three rooms are enough."

"So this is the lord of the time." Cao County magistrate followed Yun to perform the ceremony.

She guessed that they were husband and wife, but she didn't see any intimacy. 's guard.

As for why he is a man, of course, it is because he is young and energetic, and he always needs someone to "serve" him when he goes out for a long time.

Such a situation, she has seen too many years as a magistrate.

Some Beijing officials even take the initiative to imply that they will send beauties to pay their respects.

Yun Zhi nodded slightly reservedly, as the lord of the time.

"Why didn't you say that you are sleeping in separate rooms today?" When the two walked side by side behind Cao County Magistrate, Shi Qing looked sideways at Yun Zhi with teasing.

When she just left the capital and stayed at the inn, Yun Zhi wanted to sleep with Ya Qing in the same room and was unwilling to sleep with her.

Yun Zhi glanced at her, looked away, and said vaguely, "Isn't that for the convenience of protecting you?"

"Why is the young man so stubborn." Shi Qing stretched out his hand and poked the soft flesh on his side.

Make any excuse, just say that she likes to sleep with her.

In the past half month, the two of them have become accustomed to lying on the same bed.

With so many people watching, Yun Zhi's face was slightly hot, he raised his hand to hold Shi Qing's wrist, pulled her fingers off his waist, and pressed them gently beside him.

Maybe she was afraid that Shi Qing would be dishonest, Yun Zhi just held her wrist like that, wanting to let go after she stopped struggling.

This scene fell into the eyes of outsiders, that is, the two walked forward hand in hand in the public.

Mihe covered her mouth and snickered behind her, while Ya Qing was embarrassed to look at it openly and only took a peek from the corner of her eye.

When they arrived at the door of the room, Magistrate Cao couldn't follow him in, so he followed Shiqing under the porch outside the door with a smile and said:

"Sir Hou came from a long way, Xiaguan knows that you are for flood control, but it's too late today, why don't you take a rest, let Xiaguan use local specialties to catch the wind and dust for you, and introduce you by the way What's our situation here?"

Shi Qing became interested, and his eyes lit up slightly.

The county magistrate Cao was not surprised by her expression at all, but felt that she was used to it. In the end, he was young, and he accepted it without even being too lazy to hide it.

Until you hear it, ask, "What local specialties?"

She is really curious about the dishes.

The county magistrate paused, as if she had never received such a down-to-earth Beijing official who only cared about food. Fortunately, she responded quickly, and quickly suppressed her unnecessary expressions and replied:

"Come here, I want to eat some mutton noodles."

Shi Qing felt good, "Okay, I'll go over at night."

After the magistrate Cao left, Mi He only whispered, "This Mr. Cao is much more human than Qian Kaitai we met before."

The county magistrate Cao greeted the inn at the door, but Qian Kaitai did not sit still when everyone arrived at the county office.

Shi Qing was stunned, "The two are definitely different. Qian Kaitai relies on the backer of Mr. Qian, and Cao County magistrate, as a local official, will easily dare not offend the imperial envoy of Beijing officials."

Mihe and Yaqing cleaned up the room, while Shiqing sat on the side and wrote a letter to Shiju in the capital, asking how the situation in Beijing was, and reporting to Li's safety.

The sky was getting late, and the twilight was all around.

Besides the magistrate of Cao and the magistrate's husband, Lord Cao, the people accompanying him tonight.

He frowned and looked at the two vacant seats next to him, his tone dissatisfied, "It's just a sixth-rank petty official, why is it worth your effort to flatter, and even arranged Zhen'er to perform a dance at night."

When guests come over, the magistrate of Cao always arranges dancers to perform dances, and it is easy not to ask Cao Zhen to come out.

Cao Furang once thought that the magistrate Cao wanted to find a good family for his son, but he still came to this point.

Cao Fulang had never met Shi Qing, thought she was a woman in her thirties or forties, when she thought that her son was only fifteen or sixteen years old, he didn't want to see him from the bottom of his heart, "You are so cruel, treating Zhen like this. Son, he's still crying in the room."

Who doesn't know what it means to dance?

"What do you two know, adults are different from the previous officials at this hour, not to mention that he won the third flower at a young age, and his appearance is not inferior to men. You don't want to let Zhen'er I'm also worried that Zhen'er won't be able to get into her eyes at all."

She just wanted to try it when she was used to the big fish and meat in Qing Beijing, was she interested in seeing the green onion side dishes?

The county magistrate said to her husband: "It's just a dance, showing that I attach great importance to the young man, not to mention that the husband is still by his side. Besides, if he is really attracted by the young man, It's Zhen'er's blessing. I'm his mother, can I harm him?"

The banquet hosted by the magistrate Cao in the courtyard is now warm, and the wind blows and admires the moon at night, which is also elegant.

Especially in the large courtyard area, put on the stage and light up the lanterns, just like the daytime, it is convenient to appreciate the beautiful posture of the dancers.

Shi Qing changed his clothes and wore a blue official uniform.

Obviously the color is very old-fashioned and low-key, but for some reason it looks extraordinarily good-looking when worn on her. The moonlight sprinkled on her, like a brilliant blue gem, which made people's eyes shine.

Cao Fulang's eyes were fixed on Shi Qing's face, his eyes were amazed, and he couldn't help looking up and down.

Cao Furang took a breath, feeling that the other party looked better when he smiled. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand and grabbed Magistrate Cao's wrist, and confirmed, "Is this really the young adult?"

Zhen Er will love it!

The county magistrate Cao got up and said in a low voice, "That can be fake, now I finally understand what I mean."

With the appearance of Shi Qing, it is more willing to give her a side room than to give an adult like Li Yunqing the master.

What's more, Shi Qing is not from a poor family, her mother is a imperial censor, she is a Jinke Tanhua, and there is only one master by her side. She can be said to be the dream lover of a small family man.

I just don't know the family background and appearance, how come the house is so clean?

In a small county like them, women with some money have more people in their rooms than Shiqing.

The county magistrate Cao got up and greeted him from a distance. Cao Furang quickly told his servants, "Go and let the young master prepare for the dance tonight."

After saying that, he followed behind the county magistrate with a smile on his face.

"I've seen the young man." Cao Furang saluted, "I didn't expect him to be so young and born so beautiful. It really is the Fengshui of the capital to raise people."

"It's better not to say it."

"What does this have to do with Feng Shui in the capital?"

Shi Qing said, "I am good-looking, mainly because my parents are good-looking."

Good genetics.

She looked at Yun Zhi and said with a smile, "But my husband's good looks depend on his own efforts."

The temperament and posture of Yun Zhi really overshadowed her appearance.

Cao Furang paused slightly, then smiled dryly: "That's that."

The county magistrate Cao led Shi Qingyun to the seat, she asked Shi Qing to take the seat, and she sat next to Shi Qing.

Speaking of which, she asked people to fill up the wine, and also poured a small half glass for Yun Zhi beside Shi Qing.

The magistrate of Cao first respects the Qing Dynasty and then respects the cloud.

Yun Zhi hesitantly held the wine glass, but he didn't drink it when it touched his lips.

His alcohol intake is really average. In the past, it was his sister who drank with his father during the New Years and festivals, and he poured it in one gulp.

But in front of everyone, Yun Zhi was not good at drinking, so he sipped a little.

Yun Zhi didn't know how much sake she was drinking at that time, but seeing how elegant she was drinking, Yun Zhi thought that she was just the same, and she felt a lot more at ease.

It would be a bit embarrassing for a man to not be able to help his daughter-in-law stop drinking.

It's fine if neither of you can drink.

After drinking, the magistrate Cao said, "It's boring to just eat, my family Zhener heard that the adult came over and asked for a dance. It was also his wish that I am a mother. It's not good to stop."

The county magistrate Cao said to Shi Qing and Yun, "You don't need to pay attention to Lord Shi and Lord Shi, he dances his way, let's eat ours."

As she spoke, she clapped her hands, signaling the musicians to play music.

Yun Zhi doesn't mind at all, he rarely sees this kind of scene, and his face is full of novelty.

You must know that he used to have dinners and drinks at his house, and it was him who added to the fun.

And they all competed with swordsmanship and fists.

Now I can sit and enjoy other people's performances, can you not be happy?

He leaned over and bit Shi Qing's ears, "I still look back at people dancing."

Shi Qing echoed, "Me too."

Yun Zhi looked at her suspiciously, smiled when she was smiling, took the wine glass and gently touched the cup Yun Zhi placed in front of her, the porcelain was touching, and the voice was clear and sweet.

"I said so did I."

The Shi family is low-key in Beijing, and Shi Ju is not a person who likes to watch these, and Shi Qing used to be more cowardly, so this is the first time she has watched a large-scale song and dance performance.

Last time I thought I could see it during the spring hunting, but it turned out that there was only music and no singing and dancing, less meaning.

Yun Zhi was sipping his wine when he saw it, as if he was drinking tea, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Drink less, I won't carry you back when I'm drunk."

Besides, the two have to go out at night. What if Shi Qing is drunk.

"I won't get drunk." Although Shi Qing said so, he put down the glass.

In the courtyard, elegant music sounded, and Cao Zhen came wearing pink dresses.

He was originally unwilling, but he couldn't meet his mother's request.

Cao Zhen shut himself in the room and cried all night. He thought that his father could convince his mother, but he never expected that his father would also stand with his mother and push him out to socialize.

He lowered his head and lowered his eyes, stood in the middle of the dancers, put his hands on his lower abdomen, raised his eyes and glanced forward as he pushed forward.

This, this is an adult from the capital!

"?"

Aren't you going to dance?

Yun Zhi was dazed. He had excellent eyesight and could naturally see Cao Zhen's reactions and expressions.

Yun Zhi's eyes went back and forth between Cao Zhen and Shi Qing, his thin lips pursed slightly, and the fresh and happy feeling just now faded a lot.

Cao Furang naturally saw his son's reaction, and gave Cao County Magistrate a smile with a smile on his face.

The person he likes will naturally be liked by his son.

I just don't know what the hour is like.

Shi Qing looked up to see Cao Zhen dancing.

Cao Zhen should have learned it, with a soft figure and beautiful posture, every move and every move is showing his own advantages.

The county magistrate Cao was very satisfied with Shi Qing's focused expression, and said with a smile, "This place is small, not comparable to the capital, only some local dishes and children's singing and dancing are ugly."

Yun Zhi picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Where is the ugliness, it's so good-looking, Shi Qing didn't even look away.

Although Yun Zhi couldn't appreciate the man's coquettish posture and soft movements, he couldn't deny that Cao Zhen danced beautifully.

Like a fluttering butterfly and pink petals dancing in the wind.

For him, he can't do it.

Shi Qing usually likes things with beautiful colors, such as peony, such as red.

I saw Cao Zhen, who was a fan, and must like it very much.

Yun Zhi didn't know why, but his chest felt like a mass of cotton soaked in wine.

He wanted to reach out to cover Shiqing's eyes, but held back while holding the wine glass.

Shi Qing was not so interested in singing and dancing. She heard what Mr. Cao said, and couldn't help but ask softly, "After the dance, when will the mutton stewed on the stove be served?"

"We can't just watch and eat."

"No matter how good he dances, he can't be eaten as a meal. He has to be full of hot dishes."

It's not that Shi Qing hasn't seen more advanced dances, but she just glanced at the freshness, and it's the sheep's head pot that can make her drool.

She smells it, where is she in the mood to watch people dance.

Shi Qing said, "He dances his, we eat ours, it doesn't affect."

County magistrate Cao, “…”

The county magistrate Cao's chest is even more blocked than Yun Zhi.

Master Hou, didn't you like it? Otherwise, beauty is on the line, why does she only have food in her eyes?

Or because the husband was by his side, so he deliberately restrained?

Yun Zhi echoed, "She's hungry."

Cherry is full.

Shi Qing nodded heavily, "I'm here for mutton tonight."

If there is only dancing, she will not come.

The end of the eyes of Cao County magistrate and Cao Fulang twitched, and they invited a servant to bring the mutton.

Shi Qing's expression when he saw the hot red mutton pot was much more vivid than when he saw the tender and tender Cao Zhen.

"We knew winter was coming."

Shi Qing sighed.

The county magistrate Cao is depressed, but the dance has to be this season to appear light.

When the dance ended, Shi Qing applauded perfunctorily.

Yun Zhi was in a much smoother mood, until—

With the sound of "snap—", the wine cup in Yun Zhi's hand was crushed by him.

The rest of the drink spilled over his hand.

Shi Qing looked at him suspiciously.

Yun Zhi lowered his eyes and didn't look at her, and said softly, "I thought I didn't hold it, but I used a little too much energy."

It was the magistrate Cao who responded quickly and asked Yun Zhi to change another cup.

It was just that the wine spilled on his hand and flowed into the sleeve, Yun Zhi went down and washed his hands.

Cao Zhen sat beside Cao Furang.

His eyes are Shi Qing, and Shi Qing only sees mutton.

"Why do adults only eat vegetables?" Cao Zhen asked softly, "Is it because I didn't dance well?"

Shi Qing smelled a fresh tea fragrance.

"What do you eat if you don't eat vegetables at the dinner table?"

Shi Qing told the truth, "No matter how good you dance, you can't compare with Cai."

Does this mean that he is not as good as a dish?

Cao Zhen was stunned for a moment, he pinched his fingertips, looked at the vacant seat next to Yun Zhi, his eyelashes incited and said, "That's because I'm not as good at dancing as Lord Shi, so I can't see it in the eyes of adults. "

Yun Zhi just happened to walk towards this side, standing in the shadow, when he heard this, his footsteps stopped unconsciously, and his heartbeat slowed by half a beat.

Shi Qing shook his head, "My husband doesn't dance."

She said, "I didn't marry him for dancing."

Yes, it is for embroidery.

Unfortunately he can't embroider.

Shi Qing didn't lie, but it was another meaning in Cao Zhen's ears.

Yun Zhi is married to Ming media, so there is no need to let him dance to please others.

He thought that Yun Zhi came from a big family and had a good family background.

Shi Qing snorted, stretched out his hand to pick up the mutton, but did not explain, his attitude was perfunctory visible to the naked eye, "There is nothing you can do if you think so."

She looked to the side suspiciously and asked Mihe, "Where's Yun Zhi? Why haven't you come back, the meat is almost gone."

Is the meat gone because you eat too much?

Cao Furang thought so in his heart but dared not say so.

He vaguely guessed why there were no other men around Shi Qing.

She chokes on her words, her chest hurts, and she can't talk at all.

A good face, but unfortunately…

Cao Zhen failed to test, so he didn't dare to say more, so as not to lose his goodwill and impression.

Yun Zhi walked over slowly, sat beside Shi Qing, and lowered his head, only to realize that Shi Qing was full of meat for him in the small bowl in front of him.

Shi Qing tilted his head and whispered to him, "Yun Shaoxia, drinking too much vinegar hurts your health, why don't you eat more mutton?"

She had a bright smile in her eyes.

Yun Zhi's body froze and breathed tight, his fingers on his legs contracted into fists, and his ears slowly turned red.

He wanted to quibble about something, but he felt that no matter what he said, it seemed too pale.

After the banquet was over, the two went to take a bath first, and the smell of mutton was too strong.

Yun Zhi first finished washing and sat on the front steps in a daze.

Maybe she drank too much wine while eating, she was a little dazed at the moment.

When the wine came up, he seemed to think a lot, and it seemed that his mind was blank and didn't think about anything.

Shi Qing patted him on the shoulder from behind, but before his hand touched Yun Zhi's shoulder, he grabbed his wrist with his backhand.

He raised his eyebrows, "Sneak attack on me?"

Shi Qing sat next to him and changed the subject, "What were you thinking?"

Yun Zhi's eyes were filled with water, and Shi Qing said in surprise, "Aren't you drunk? The young man's alcohol intake is touching."

I saw him leaning against a tree trunk to drink water as wine that day, Shi Qing thought he was good at drinking, but ended up pouring a cup? !

"I'm not drunk." Yun clung to his neck and refused to admit it.

Shi Qing smiled, "Then what are you thinking?"

When she asked this question, Cao Zhen's figure suddenly appeared in Yun Zhi's mind when she was dancing.

Shi Qing seems to like watching it.

"I was thinking that I can't dance or embroider," Yun Zhi's thick eyelashes fell, not knowing what to think, suddenly looked sideways at Shi Qing, and asked her tentatively, "Look Don't you watch the sword dance?"

“Look.”

It seems to be compared with Cao Zhen.

Yun Zhi picked up the green sword beside him, the sword that was not sheathed during the fight, was pulled out by him today because of the sword dance.

Different from Cao Zhen's softness, Yun Zhi's every move is full of strength, the moonlight echoes the sword's light, his movements are clean and neat without being sloppy, and he is indescribably handsome and unrestrained.

Shi Qing drank loudly, raised his hand and clapped, "Good-looking."

This time it was sincere and not perfunctory.

Yun Zhi's heart moved slightly, and the corner of his mouth pursed into a small smile.

Under the moonlight, he pulled up a beautiful sword flower and put the sword behind him and stopped, and raised his eyebrows at Shishi, his eyebrows were juvenile, "How is it?"

Shi Qing smiled, "Better than the young master of the Cao family."

Yun Zhi put away his sword awkwardly, his eyes flickered and said, "I'm not comparing with him, I'm just dancing to show you."

When I put my hand on my chin, I looked at him.

Yunzhi's ears were slightly red, and her thin lips were slightly pursed.

Shi Qing stretched out his hand and poked his cheek lightly, "Yun Zhi, you don't need to compare with anyone, you are the most unique one in this world."

Yun Zhi held her hand and sniffed lightly, still smelling of alcohol, "Are you drunk?"

Who is the drunk, don't you have any points?

Shi Qing blinked, "Who said that, I'm not drunk, oh my, I'm just a little dizzy and can't walk."

"Drinkers say they're not drunk." Yun Zhi let go of her hand and stood up.

“…”

Shi Qing was both puzzled and curious, raised his head and asked him, "Is Yun Shaoxia going to carry me back?"

Yun Zhi stood in front of Shi Qing and looked down at her, his figure reflected in those beautiful eyes.

She was sitting on the steps and he was standing under the steps.

"Take you back."

Yun Zhi bent down slightly, held Shi Qing's side face with one hand, lowered his eyes and kissed her on the forehead lightly, with a smile in his voice, "Liar."

She's not drunk.
