Chang Shu now has the mind of a two or three-year-old child, and lives in the mansion all day long.
When Qian Cancan arrived, she greeted Chang's mother, and Chang's mother led her to the backyard garden.
"What happened last time..." Chang's mother was full of guilt.
Qian Cancan habitually rubbed the finger on the thumb of his left hand with his right hand. When he didn't feel it, he was slightly taken aback, and said with a smile, "Don't worry about small troubles, Auntie."
"Besides, compared with my typhoid fever, Chang Shu is more serious."
Outsiders only think that Chang Shu's scheme failed and her fame was extorted, and she is stupid if she can't accept it, but Chang's mother knows more or less.
"I think it's not bad for her to be stupid." Chang's mother has no official position now, so she simply reads books and guides her disciples, which is free.
If Chang Shu is stupid, she will no longer be ambitious to plan things that should not belong to her, and finally drag the entire Chang family into the quagmire. Although she is a child with a mind, she can at least have one life left.
For parents, living is enough.
Qian Cancan looked sideways at Chang's mother and smiled, "Auntie is very kind to Chang Shu."
Even if she is a concubine, she is willing to use her official position to protect her.
Mother Chang waved her hand and was unwilling to bring it up. This topic was wrong no matter what. After all, the situation of the Qian family was not a secret in Manjing.
"It's over there." Chang's mother stretched out her hand and pointed forward.
Qian Cancan looked in the direction she gave, and saw Chang Shu squatting in the garden with several three- and five-year-old children playing with mud.
Judging by their clothes and attire, those children should be the children of servants in the mansion.
Chang's mother stayed where she was, and Qian Cancan continued to walk forward, watching her from a few steps away from Chang Shu.
This number one scholar who once clamored to be an extremely human minister, now only sees the piece of mud the size of a palm in her hand.
She who despises her birth as a concubine the most, but now she is having fun with the servant's children.
Qian Cancan knelt down to look at Chang Shu, trying to see a trace of camouflage from her, but there was none.
Is this the end result
Chang Shu saw that there were more people beside her, she smirked and handed over the mud in her hand, tilted her head and asked, "Playing?"
Qian Cancan reacted a little too late, shaking her head slightly, "You can play by yourself."
The two have not seen each other for more than ten years, and now they meet each other in such an ending, I can't tell what it feels like.
On the way back from Chang's residence, Qian Cancan stretched out his hand to open the curtain of the sedan chair, and the morning sun came out outside, with a gentle and non-glaring light.
Qian Cancan closed her eyes against the light.
If you can't escape, do something.
Qian Cancan's behavior of going back from the palace gate directly angered Qian's mother.
Her face sank completely, she tossed her sleeves and put her hands behind her back, "A worthless thing."
It's not that Qian Cancan is to blame for going back to sleep, but because she just told Shi Ju that Qian Cancan is going to enter the palace, she turned her head and went back, because she didn't give her mother face.
Sure enough, like the bastard, they are all things that are not on the table.
It's time to marry Qian Cancan a husband, to win over contacts. The Qian family can't keep her in vain.
Shi Ju and Shi Qing pretended not to hear Lord Qian's words, and they walked towards the palace together.
Shi Qing doesn't have many tasks today, and the first day of his new job is to meet people.
She is not the only inspector censor, after a quick glance, there are about seven or eight people, a few are in their fifties, and the rest are in their twenties and thirties, and she is the youngest among them.
"Shiqing?"
Shi Qing raised her head from her desk, and saw her colleague Zhao Bei smiling at her.
Zhao Bei was picked by Shiju's hand, thinking of the Shi family's kindness in his heart, maybe there are many people in Shiju's gang, and he doesn't remember who she is for a long time, but Zhao Bei remembers her, so he wants to take care of Shiju more clear.
Knowing that Shi Qing just came and didn't know what to do, he pointed to a pile of copywriting next to him and said, "These are the files of the officials in the capital, you can take a look first to understand."
Their main task is to supervise the officials in Beijing and China to see if they have behaved disqualified.
Shi Qing flipped through the files, and his colleagues had already begun to deal with government affairs and chatted.
When it comes to the biggest case in Beijing, it is the land enclosure case in Jiangnan.
"I heard that Qian Shinu has been back to Beijing for many days, why is the land enclosure case still not settled? She didn't go to Jiangnan this time and came back without finding anything."
Zhao Bei interjected, "There are too many people involved in this case, maybe some powerful figures will be involved, it's normal to be cautious."
"She can only be cautious and ineffective in doing this errand? The court entrusted her with the matter to ask her to investigate boldly. What kind of court official is timid." Someone told her back.
Zhao Bei stopped talking.
Someone was dumbfounded, "We don't know, and we dare not say."
The man continued to speak, "Is there anything you dare not say, isn't our censor just going to play if we have any questions?"
Shi Qing just wanted to look up to see who this gangster is, when he heard himself being called by the other party, "Shi Qing, you are new here, and your mother is the imperial censor, you can go to the booklet and ask."
"...???"
Shi Qing black question mark face.
Does she look like an early bird
Dare to love this old lady for a long time, because she wants to hide behind her and watch her hit the muzzle of the gun
The person who spoke was called Chen Duyu, in his thirties, and he didn't look like a loyal and honest censor, but rather like the owner of a pork shop.
She told Shi Qing, "Our censor must dare to be angry and speak out, and have the courage to speak out."
Zhao Bei shook his head slightly towards Shiqing, signaling her to ignore Chen Duyu.
On the first day of joining the company, Shi Qing didn't understand anything, so how could he just submit the booklet.
Shi Qing gave Zhao Bei a reassuring look, and asked Chen Duyu, "Then why don't you submit the book? You can do it."
"Didn't I give you a chance to show off?"
"I don't need it." Shi Qing kicked the ball back to her directly, "I'm a low-key person who doesn't like to show off."
Chen Duyu was a little confused by Shi Qing's straight ball, "You don't like to show what kind of censor you are?"
Shi Qing raised his eyebrows, "Because my mother is the capital censor, so I became the junior censor, is there a problem?"
"Didn't you say that the censor must speak up? If so, you can set an example for me. I have no experience in this day, so you, senior, can't be a role model for me?"
"You can't just talk and stop doing it."
Someone nearby watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal, so they agreed, "It's Sister Chen, it's inappropriate not to write about it."
Chen Duyu sneered, "Shi Qing just came in, don't be in a hurry, I'll write to her when I have a chance in the future."
She didn't dare again.
Chen Duyu's idea was very clear, and Huyou Shiqing, a hot-headed young man, anyway, her mother is Du Yushi, so she is not afraid to confront Mr. Qian.
Who knew that Shi Qing was a thorn in the head, not like a troublesome stubble.
After a few words were squeezed out, she was a little bit unable to get off the stage.
Chen Duyu glanced at his mouth, flipped through the documents in his hand and muttered, "For some people, it's better to be hard at the backstage."
I don't know whether it's Shi Qing or Qian Huanhuan.
Shi Qing snorted softly, "That's not as good as some people who are soft-boned and love to talk."
Chen Duyu looked at Shi Qing with a cold face, "You—"
Shi Qing slapped the document in his hand on the table, and said with a "snap" sound, "What's wrong with me? Did I name you? What are you in a hurry for? As censors, we don't have to say anything, Isn't that what you just taught me?"
Chen Duyu choked for a moment.
Zhao Bei asked Shi Qing as if trying to smooth things over, "How many times did you come here before Yijia? How could I remember that you should go to the Imperial Academy?"
Everyone's ears pricked up, and they all looked at Shi Qing.
That's right, how could they only remember that Lord Xiao is the daughter of Lord Du Yushi, but they forgot her original fame.
"The first one is the third," Shi Qing was stunned, his tone was light and calm, and he looked at Chen Duyu, "I don't like to study books, so I didn't go to the Imperial Academy."
Good enough, so there is a choice of capital.
Chen Duyu completely shut up, not daring to say more.
Shi Qing was able to be the inspector censor not because her mother was the censor of the capital, but because she was originally a Jinke Tanhua.
Zhao Bei's goal was achieved, and he gave Shiqing a working look.
On the first day of his appointment, Shi Qing mainly got to know the information of the officials, but there were not many other things.
And because she pushed Chen Duyu back on the spot, no one dared to provoke her again.
When Shi Qing returned to the mansion, it was almost evening, and Yun Zhi hadn't come back yet.
"You won't run away with someone, will you?" Shi Qing gnawed at the sunflower seeds to watch the sky.
"You just ran away with someone." Yun Zhi came back just in time to hear her words, and slapped the sword on the table.
He ran away for a day and came back only to hear Shi Qing speak ill of him.
This heartless person, he ran errands for someone to earn money.
Shi Qing lowered his eyes to look at the sword on the table, there was no blood, he breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his eyelids to look at Yunzhi, pushed the melon seeds over, and asked with a smile, "How is it?"
"It's okay, but the blade was cut by someone with a knife, and there was a gap." Yun Zhi pulled the melon seed plate over, and looked at Shi Qing, "I still eat, and I need to drink water at night."
Shi Qing took advantage of the situation and put down the melon seeds.
Yun Zhi ate melon seeds and told her what happened today.
Qian Huanhuan went out of the city to pick him up before going out early this morning.
Lifting the curtain of the carriage and suddenly seeing the sallow-faced and plain-looking man beside the carriage, Qian Huanhuan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Yun Zhi had made a disguise for himself.
Otherwise, if someone saw him going out of town with him as a man, it would always be bad news.
Yun Zhi was wearing plain blue-gray clothes, holding a green sword in his arms. Compared with the embroidered young master, he looked more like a swordsman.
"You really know how to embroider?" Qian Huanhuan was really puzzled.
Yun Zhi's eyes flickered, he wanted to tell the truth but was afraid that Shi Qing would find out when he turned around, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Yes."
Knowing how to thread a needle, can be regarded as being able to embroider...
Qian Huanhuan lamented that people really cannot be judged by their appearances.
The two avoided suspicion, Qian Huanhuan sat in the carriage, Yun Zhi sat on the crossbar in front of the carriage, a total of three or five people, set off for the outside of the city.
Qian Huanhuan kept a low profile on this trip, but he was assassinated outside the city.
"The other party seems to want to test my strength this time," Yun Zhi said, "It's not as ruthless as last time."
It might be even more dangerous next time.
That is to say, the day after tomorrow Spring Hunting, I am afraid that there will be a resolution to the enclosure case.
Shi Qing picked up Yunzhi's sword and looked at it, and sure enough there was a cut mark on the scabbard, "I'll take you to set a gem on it tomorrow, how about it?"
Yun Zhi's eyes lit up instantly, "Inlaid a circle."
"...Why don't you say inlaid?" Shi Qing rolled his eyes.
"You're so picky, you're definitely not willing to part with it." Yun Zhi crossed his legs and hugged the melon seed plate, with a little arrogant expression of "I don't know you yet".
You know what's on your mind.
Shi Qing can come back early after finishing his work tomorrow. Li's father and Li Wei are going back to Qingshan County tomorrow, and Shi Qing told them off for half a day to see them off.
Just when I was going to buy gifts for Father Li, I took Yunzhi to Babao Pavilion and repaired the gap on the sword for him.
It stands to reason that a sword should be full of vicissitudes and scars, but Yunzhi just wants to look good.
Before going to bed at night, he reminded Shi Qing, "The jewel must be the size of your little finger."
"It's so big!" Shi Qing was surprised, "Are you going to blind the opponent's dog's eyes before you start the fight?"
Before fighting and killing each other, stand upright and take out their swords to compare. Whoever has the most gorgeous gems on the scabbard will cut three swords first
"It's pretty." Yun Zhi sneered, "What do you know?"
"That's because you don't understand." Shi Qing didn't eat much melon seeds today, and his thirst became a little less.
The next day, when she came back from Time Count Mao, Yun Zhi followed her to Babao Pavilion to repair the scabbard.
"If I knew it earlier, I should have asked Qian Huanhuan to make it up for me. Maybe I would have saved money." Yun Zhi touched the knife mark with regret on his face.
"I know that life is not easy." Shi Qing smiled.
It's okay if you don't mention this, but when you mention this Yunzhi, you will think of your own dream.
He made an appointment with Liu Yueming to go to Luoyang to see peonies. Originally, Yunzhi's money was enough, but Liu Yueming mentioned that the fan was dirty, so Yunzhi thought it would be impossible to change it for him.
But the moment I opened the money bag and saw the silver, I didn't know why but I was reluctant to take it out.
In the end, Yun Zhi took the money bag and said dryly to Liu Yueming, "How about you wash the fan and make do with it?"
After Yun Zhi finished speaking, don't mention Liu Yueming, even he himself was surprised.
He was taught by Shi Qing to be stingy, and even in his dreams he was reluctant to spend money extravagantly.
Some time ago, the young hero who spent a lot of money had been tainted by poverty, and all he could think about was how much money it would cost to go to Luoyang.
He is not pure anymore.
Yun Zhi told Shi Qing about this, and said in a condemning tone, "I'm so poor that I can't bear to spend money even in my dreams."
Not willing to spend money on the right.
Most people basically have one dream a night, or several a night, and it is rare for Yunzhi to have consecutive dreams.
Although Shi Qing didn't quite know what was going on, he still felt a little strange, especially in this dream, Brother Liu, who seemed to be catching Yun Zhi to suck blood.
Yun Zhi didn't say anything about the martial arts, Shi Qing didn't know about it, but the matter about Yin Zi was still clear.
Shi Qing couldn't directly tell Yun Zhi that he was a liar, but he could tell him something else.
"If you're not willing to spend money, you won't make money?" Shi Qing asked Yun Zhi, "How many times have you saved that Brother Liu?"
"Three or five times." Yun Zhi frowned, looking at Shi Qing vigilantly, "What do you want to do?"
"Brothers have to settle accounts clearly, let alone you two are not relatives, you have saved him so many times, even if you give a discount, he will have to pay you one hundred and eighty taels anyway," Shi Qing fooled Yun Zhi, "In this way you Don't you have silver?"
"How can this be possible?" Yun Zhi hugged his arms, "We are brothers, so why would anyone ask a brother for money?"
"We are still husband and wife," Shi Qing looked at Yunzhi and asked him quietly, "Why do you always ask me for money?"
Yun Zhi was slightly stunned, and retorted with red ears, "Aren't we fake?"
"Then you are not close to him either," Shi Qing was speechless, "If you feel embarrassed, just ask him to give him a fan after finishing the money."
That's a great idea!
Yun Zhi never thought that it could be like this!
With the money, you can also give Brother Liu a new fan, killing two birds with one stone.
only…
Yun Zhi asked hesitantly, "What if he doesn't have money for me?"
"Then you let him make money. If you don't have money, what kind of rivers and lakes are you going to play?" Shi Qing poked his forehead with hatred, "Fool, if you don't have money, you know how to run errands for me to protect Qian Huanhuan. Do not you know?"
Yun Zhi stretched out his hand to hold Shi Qing's extended finger, and let it go in a quick reaction, "Why do you keep messing with me lately?"
Shi Qing was also taken aback, but Yun Zhi didn't say she didn't feel it.
"I'll move." Shi Qing rebelliously reached out to touch the back of Yunzhi's hand on the table, and said intentionally, "I'm married to Mingmei, so what's wrong?"
Yun took his hand back, raised his eyebrows and looked at Shi Qing with a smile, "Ai~ I didn't touch it."
He put his hand back on the table with a low swish, his eyes were clear, "Try again."
Like playing a gopher, Shi Qing stretched out his hand to pat.
"I haven't touched it again." Yun Zhi was happy, and repeatedly stretched out his hand on the table for Shi Qing to touch.
But he is faster, and he can't touch it every time.
Shi Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, opened the curtain and deliberately said to Mi He, "Let's not go to Babao Pavilion, go back home."
Repair the damn scabbard!
Yun Zhi was stunned and panicked, "Don't."
He leaned forward and honestly pressed both hands on the small table between the two, "Slap and shoot, I won't hide this time."
He waited all night for repairing the scabbard.
When Yun Zhi looked at it, he said clearly, "Let's not get angry after playing, because it doesn't look good when you get angry."
Shi Qing raised his eyebrows, didn't pat his hand, but stretched out his hand to pinch Yun Zhi's face when he leaned over, "I'm lying to you, little fool."
The two were very close, and Yun Zhi met Shi Qing who was smiling all over his face, his eyes flickered, and he moved back unnaturally, leaning on the car wall and stretching out his hand to open the curtain to look out.
A pair of exposed ears are red and attractive.
Why is she always like this.
Babao Court has arrived.
Shi Qing was always stuffed with a bracelet by Li's father, this time he wanted to buy something for him to take home.
The person in charge was still Xu, when he saw Shi Qing came over, with a smile on his face, but his right eyelid had already started to twitch.
When Shi Qing wants to pick out good things, he must go to the second floor.
"Yun Zhi, take a look for yourself, choose what you want, and I'll come down and pay later." In front of outsiders, Shi Qing still gave Yun Zhi face.
Yun Zhi was so moved that Shi Qing wanted to pay him money!
"Yuqing, did I hear you right?" Yun Zhi was a little skeptical, "I'm done buying, she won't put me here to do coolies, will she?"
Ya Qing comforted Yun Zhi, "Master Xiao still loves you."
"..." Yun Zhi didn't believe it.
She only loves money.
Yun Zhi put the scabbard on the table and said grandly, "Set it with gemstones and choose the best."
Although Yunzhi doesn't regard Jian as his wife, but she is his best friend, a partner who fights side by side, and he can't wear the best gems.
Before Xiao Er could speak, he heard a voice coming from the door.
"Just this broken sword is worth inlaid with gems? It's a waste."
Yun Zhi looked back suspiciously, and saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy walking over with two servants and two servants.
The second child of Babao Pavilion immediately went over to salute, and greeted warmly, "What kind of wind brought you here."
"Who is this?" Yun Zhi asked the other mistress in front of him.
"This is Sun Lili, the young son of the Prime Minister's family," Xiao Er hesitated for a moment, and then whispered to Yun Zhi, "Hand over Mr. Shen's handkerchief."
The eldest prince and the prime minister's husband are handkerchiefs, so the children of the two families are naturally on good terms. Sun Lili is the godson recognized by the eldest prince.
The other party must have seen Shifu's carriage outside, and knew that Yun Zhi sitting inside was Mrs. Shiqing, so he made a mocking noise on purpose.
Sun Lili privately felt that Shi Qing had married Yun Zhi just after his engagement was annulled, and maybe he had already been involved before the annulment.
Fortunately, the eldest prince retired in time, otherwise brother Shen Yu would definitely be bullied.
Sun Lili looked at Yunzhi as if he was looking at a coquettish bitch.
The concubine of a merchant's family, who was able to hook up with Shang Shiqing, presumably had some means, and he certainly didn't seem like a law-abiding person.
It happened to happen today, and Sun Lili couldn't help getting angry and wanted to vent his anger.
"This sword is too shabby, even the inlaid gems can't cover up its shabby smell. The cheap material, no matter how you modify it, it will be cheap."
Yun Zhi didn't understand the twists and turns, but he could still feel the hostile tone of the other party.
"Did he scold me?" Yun Zhi turned his head and asked Yaqing.
Yaqing's face was reddish with anger, her thin lips were tightly pressed, she almost didn't cry.
Although he didn't speak, the expression on his face was obvious.
The other party was beating around the bush and scolding Yun Zhi.
Yun Zhi raised his eyebrows, "What does it have to do with you if I repair my sword? Money can't buy me. I like to inlay gems so I can inlay gems. You don't care."
"How dare a lowly merchant's son talk to me like that?" Sun Lili clenched his fingers, "Do you know who I am?"
"I know," Yun Zhi was fascinated by Shi Qing. Although he couldn't tell Shi Qing when he quarreled, he was still true to others, "What does your identity have to do with me?"
He inlaid his gems, who is in the way
"Bold!" Sun Lili scolded him, "I am the adopted son of the eldest prince, you can just be rude when you see me, and dare to speak rudely."
"When I called you lowly, I just flattered you. Do you think that if you marry Shi Qing, you can turn a pheasant into a phoenix? Dreaming, you are worthy of marrying a woman that Brother Shen Yu doesn't want!"
Yun Zhi, who was sitting idle, suddenly stood up with a cold face, "Say it again?"
"What's the matter if I say it again?" Sun Lili knew that what he said just now was a bit harsh, but he straightened his neck and motioned to the servant behind him who was pretending to be a servant, "He speaks rudely, slap him for me!"
"Don't talk about you, even Shi Qing, I can fight!"
The servant behind Sun Lili had already rolled up her sleeves. She looked at Yunzhi with unfriendly eyes, and she didn't feel the slightest guilt of a woman beating a man.
Shi Qing took Mihe downstairs and happened to see this scene.
Shi Qing gestured to Mihe, and Mihe walked over quickly.
"What to do?" Mihe shouted.
Following the voice, Sun Lili looked up at Shi Qing who was standing at the top of the stairs, and sneered provocatively, "Isn't this Shi Qing? Your husband has no rules. I will teach him a lesson for you. Hit!"
Yun Zhi sat back down again.
The servant's raised slap was stopped by Mihe.
Mihe clutched the opponent's wrist, raised his arm and slapped the servant's face, "Dog, you also fight against my master."
The servant looked back, Sun Lili's face was damaged, and he stomped his feet angrily, "Hit me this slave!"
However, just as the servant was about to raise his hand, Mi He released her wrist with the other hand, and at the same time slapped her towards her.
"Crack" sound.
It sounded like hitting Sun Lili on the face, and the sound was crisp.
This kind of thing should be handed over to her.
She never only slaps one hand, "Good things come in pairs, I will slap you both, and teach you how to behave."
