The abandoned concubine can't hide herself

Chapter 59: Shen Qing

Views:

Chu Jihan climbed over the wall and stopped at the corner of the alley, covering his slightly opened wounds. The more Chu Jihan thought about it, the more wrong he became. Why should he run by himself

It was wrong for me to appear in Su Ningxin's yard as a man, but the other party was also a man. Why was he in Su Ningxin's yard

"Sir, are you injured?" Ah Jiu, who was catching up, looked at Chu Jihan's movements and asked.

Chu Jihan waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Go and check if there are any outsiders in Su Mansion now."

Ah Jiu responded and left, while Chu Jihan led the horse to the place where the tea transportation department stored official tea. In order to prevent any accidents from happening midway, he had better keep an eye on it himself.

Chu Jihan's prediction was good. When Master Su San entered the cellar, the Scorpion Guards lurked in the dark and planned to assassinate Master Su San. Fortunately, Chu Jihan sent his men there, and Master Su San led many officers and soldiers. In the end, Although the Scorpion Guards escaped a lot, Mr. Su San was not injured.

After Mr. Su San led people to return the official tea to the Tea Transportation Department warehouse and took over the Tea Transportation Department, Chu Jihan finally returned to Lu Mansion to rest.

He saw Ah Jiu as soon as he returned. According to Ah Jiu's investigation, the person he met in Su Mansion was named Zhan Rong. He was a famous doctor in several nearby states. He went to Su Mansion today to diagnose the eldest daughter of the Su family. , I didn’t expect that the doctor’s medical skills were so good that he cured the eldest daughter of the Su family’s disease with just one medicine. Now she is regarded as an honored guest by the Su family.

While talking, Ah Jiu couldn't help but mutter, "I've seen the girl from the Su family, and she doesn't look seriously ill. Why is the doctor so praised?"

Chu Jihan didn't say anything and just asked Ah Jiu to retreat. He could guess that Su Ning was just pretending to be sick, and curing her was naturally an excuse for what happened today.

It was no small matter that the entire tea transportation department was imprisoned. It caused a huge uproar in Xingyuan Mansion. Even the commander of Xingyuan Mansion went to Wenzhou in person, and there were constant rumors among the people.

About a month later, as soon as Chu Jihan got up, he heard someone coming to report that someone was visiting. When he asked, he knew it was Shen Qing, so Chu Jihan asked Ah Jiu to lead the person to his yard.

The weather was nice today, and Su Ningxin was finally able to go out again, so she planned to have some fun. She heard that there was a Cuju competition held by the soldiers at the West Camp today, and she wanted to join in the fun, so she came to see Chu Jihan early. Ask him something and go watch Cuju.

[Let me go, what is this person doing? It's so offensive, I'm going to stab myself in the eyes.]

Looking at Shen Qing who had just entered the yard, Chu Jihan, who was practicing boxing with his shirt off, almost stumbled. What happened to him, a grown man, practicing boxing? Is it considered immoral

Chu Jihan, whose moves were no longer consistent, took advantage of the situation, took the sweat towel handed over by the boy, wiped his sweat, and asked, "When did you come back?"

Su Ning paused for a moment, remembering that she had announced that she had a friend who needed help and was leaving Wenzhou for a while, so she smiled and said, "I just came back. I heard that Guan Cha's case was solved. I would like to congratulate Brother Ji."

[I almost forgot the lie I told, this is so embarrassing.]

Chu Jihan: "..."

He had no idea about Shen Qing's lies. After all, he knew it was a lie at the beginning. He was just a little curious. Since Shen Qing had not left Wenzhou during this period, where had he hidden? People from the Tea Transportation Department and Fu Yamen I couldn't find him even after searching for him.

Knowing that he couldn't ask, Chu Jihan could only answer Shen Qing's words, "Any congratulations? The court will send someone to handle the matter soon, and the credit will not go to me."

Su Ning smiled knowingly, officialdom has always been like this, not to mention Ji Chu is just a secret guard, even if he has merit, it belongs to the master, so Su Ning changed the topic,

"Why haven't you seen Lian Sheng? I heard that he was injured. Is it that serious?"

"He's pretty good." Chu Jihan said through gritted teeth, as if he was squeezing out the words word by word.

Chu Jihan now wanted to press Shen Qing's head on his waist to let him take a good look at his injuries.

Fortunately, he regarded him as a friend. He didn't say anything about his injuries. Now that his wounds were in front of him, he still turned a blind eye. He was so angry!

[What's wrong with this person? Are you angry for no reason?]

Listening to Shen Qing's thoughts, Chu Jihan was instantly discouraged. There was nothing to be angry with such a person. He would only make himself angry.

Chu Jihan still asked in a bad tone, "Just ask whatever you want to ask, will I tell you or not?"

Su Ning thought for a while, I don't know what kind of medicine this person took today. It would be better to ask him and leave early, so as not to suffer an unreasonable disaster.

"The official tea that was hidden by the Tea Transport Secretary has been found. Can we be convicted after that? Then what are you going to do with the tea in the mansion?"

Chu Jihan replied, "I have written the whole story in a document to the capital. When the inspector whom the imperial court is expecting arrives, he should decide how to arrange it."

After thinking about it, Chu Jihan added, "Don't worry, I wrote down the credit of you and the Su family in the documents sent to the capital, and I will never lose anything to you."

"I can trust Brother Ji." Su Ningxin said with a smile, seeming to be very pleased, but her heart was completely different.

[Bah, I don’t need any credit for what you write about me, I just need no one to see me.]

Chu Jihan was a little confused, why did Shen Qing think so? Da Qi's men either asked for a title on the gold medal list, or for military merit and a title, all in order to become an official in the dynasty. Shen Qing's contribution could definitely get him a job. You’ve got the fame, why don’t you want it

Because he is the master of the Xuese Chamber of Commerce, he is rich enough to look down on the salary of an official. It doesn't make sense. Scholars, peasants, industrialists, and merchants. No matter how rich a businessman is, he has the lowest status. Even if he has the Xuese Chamber of Commerce, he still has some status, but in the end Will be looked down upon by those celebrities.

Or is he wanted for something and is he afraid of having his identity exposed? But even if someone is guilty and has this merit, it can be regarded as a meritorious service, and the merits and demerits are balanced.

Chu Jihan thought about various situations and couldn't find a reasonable explanation, so he put the matter aside and said to Shen Qing, "Brother Shen came so early, he must not have had breakfast yet, why don't we stay and use some together?" ?”

Chu Jihan had some knowledge of Shen Qing's routine when he lived in Xueshe Chamber of Commerce. He always got up very early, walked around a few times and then found a stall outside to have breakfast. He probably hadn't eaten yet at this hour.

[How does he know I haven’t eaten yet? Could it be that my stomach was ringing? It shouldn't be, I didn't even hear it.]

"Then I'll excuse you. I happen to be a little hungry since I didn't have breakfast."

"It's just a meal, what's the trouble?" After Chu Jihan said that, he asked Ah Jiu to tell the kitchen to prepare more breakfast. At the same time, he was secretly proud of himself. His insight was not an exaggeration. He couldn't see it in such a trivial matter. .
