"Uncle Lobby's affairs are not light, and the evaluation given by the officials is: lack of ability, lack of flexibility, and disregard for human life.After the flood, the doors of the cells were not opened, and more than half of the 200 people in the cells were only taken in custody and were not sentenced, and all of them drowned.In addition, the day before the rainstorm, the uncle in the lobby sent an official to escort the grain to be handed in, but the grain was washed away by the flood, and there were 10,000 catties. ”On the carriage home, Su Mu told the truth and did not give an evaluation.Zheng Qingchuan sighed in his heart: Time, luck, and life are also scholars, if they don't have enough life experience, most of them are not suitable for being officials.This is really like what the fourth aunt said, the official is nectar, and there are bees guarding the nectar, and the needles on the bees' tails are poisonous.After they returned to Su's house, Mrs.
Su immediately asked about the outcome of the matter.Su Mu didn't tell the truth this time, concealed the secret, and said formulaically: "Soon, Uncle Tang will come to Beijing in person, and then the matter will be decided." ”Old Madam Su asked eagerly: "Did the Hong family promise to help" Su Mu said with a restrained expression: "The second grandfather has been helping to inquire, if he can help, he will definitely not shirk." ”Old Madam Su sighed, still frowning.The eldest aunt of the Su family spit out the melon seed shell happily on the side, and was full of schadenfreude After Zheng Qingchuan returned to the West Cross Hospital, the nurse couldn't help but ask about it.Zheng Qingchuan said while changing clothes: "I will know the result in a few days."
There are variables in officialdom. ”The nurse also agreed, but her tone was regretful.She still remembers that a few years ago, after the two masters were admitted to the Jinshi, the atmosphere of the servants in the family receiving the reward money was very lively, and later the two masters became officials one after another, and the family was full of joy.It's only been five years.This afternoon, since Su Liang came back and cried, there was a lot of discussion in the house, gossiping, and everything to say.The nurse told Zheng Qingchuan about the family again, and asked: "Do you want to take care of it" to prevent the people, more than to prevent Sichuan.Zheng Qingchuan thought for a while and said, "If you don't say anything to offend the government, don't worry about it."
If it's too much, warn it" Su Jing is an official in Shanxi, and there was no accident this time, but he also received Su Dong's news and was very concerned, so he wrote to Su Mu and asked Su Mu to help inquire.The things in this world are always a few happy and a few sad.A month later, Su Dong took his family into Beijing and settled in Su's house, he went to the Ministry of Officials, and was directly taken away from the official seal of forty and fifty knew the destiny of heaven.Su Dong, who was between not being confused and knowing the destiny of heaven, cried very sadly when he came back.Although he did not turn white or vomit blood overnight, his spirit was completely sluggish, his voice trembled, and he kept wiping his tears and snot with his hands.This is very different from the high-spirited spirit when he was a jinshi.Su Dong's wife, Tong, was also sad, with many wrinkles on her face, her face was swollen and sagging, and her face was sallow.She didn't care about cleaning herself up, so she hurriedly rushed to Hong's house to intercede.Zheng Qingchuan had a good impression of the Tong family before, but this time he saw a big change in people who lost their minds.Dark clouds hung over the Su family.Even after a few days, Su Liang gave birth to a son, this Tian Ding Zhixi did not improve Su Dong and Tong's mood.And Su Liang made trouble in the Hong family again.Ah Qing and Ah Yun came back to live every month as usual, and they whispered to Zheng Qingchuan and mentioned the Hong family."
The little nephew is chubby and very funny, and the second grandmother and the eldest aunt laughed very happily and said that they would make a full moon wine lively.However, the eldest cousin-in-law cried, saying that her second grandfather looked down on her mother's family, did not help her, and refused to make a full moon wine.The second grandmother was unhappy, so she took the child directly to her house" The Hong family is in conflict, and Ah Qing and Ah Yun's mood seems to be a little depressed.I have to say that the Tong family and Su Liang are resentful of the Hong family this time.Zheng Qingchuan said: "Tomorrow the aunt in the lobby will go to Xianlu Temple to worship the Bodhisattva, and we will also go to eat food together, so we can take it as a distraction." ”Ah Qing and Ah Yun nodded in agreement.In the evening, Zheng Qingchuan took Ah Qing and Ah Yun to greet Mrs.
Su, and saw Mrs.
Su and Mrs.
Tong wiping their tears.Zheng Qingchuan has no sympathy in her heart, she has accepted the facts, and Tong seems to be still immersed in the bubble of broken dreams, like trapped in the tip of the horns, unable to extricate herself.Tong was like a person with a broken mind, after seeing Ah Qing and Ah Yun, he actually said: "Ah Qing, Ah Yun, aunt begs you for one thing, after you go back, remember to help your cousin and uncle plead in front of Old Lady Hong, you must remember to say" Old Lady Su actually followed this and said that they were crazy, and they actually pinned all their hopes and grievances on Old Lady Hong alone.Zheng Qingchuan was speechless at the moment.There are thousands of words to persuade people, but Zheng Qingchuan can't say a word at this time.Because, even if you say it, it doesn't work.Ah Qing and Ah Yun frowned, frightened by the solemn attitude of the elders, and squeezed Zheng Qingchuan's hand.Tong Shi cried and cried again, chattering and complaining: "I married a good daughter to his grandson, wasn't it just to ask for a peace for my lord His grandson is a sick man" Zheng Qingchuan couldn't stand it, and wanted to say a word: The bitter sea is endless, turning back is the shore, since you have saved your life, why should you hope for it She made an excuse and said that she was going to the outer courtyard to find Su Mu, so she left with Aqing and Ayun.On the way, Ah Yun asked: "Does Aunt Cousin cry every day" Zheng Qingchuan replied helplessly: "Yes, every day." ”Ah Qing and Ah Yun's expressions also deepened.The next day, the Tong family cleaned up much neater and seemed to cheer up, and Zheng Qingchuan was just happy when he heard the Tong family say: "We may stay here for a few more days, will you dislike us If it is inconvenient, we will go find an inn." ”When people change from high-spirited to down-and-out, they don't even have self-confidence.Zheng Qingchuan hurriedly Zheng Qingchuan hurriedly replied: "Aunt Tang, grandmother definitely hopes that you can live in peace, and we also hope that you will live without worrying about the future." ”"Well, you're very good to us."
Tong shed tears again, there was really a tendency to cry when he saw the wind, and then said: "It's a pity that the Hong family" As soon as he talked about the Hong family, he became sad, and resentment surged up again."
Su Liang asked us to wait, in a few days, we will definitely be able to find some more officials."
This is really an official fan, Zheng Qingchuan pursed his lips and did not respond to her.The Tong family was going to Xianlu Temple, and Su Mu, A Qing, A Yun and Zheng Qingchuan also accompanied him.Tong and her maids sat in a carriage, Su Mu, Ah Qing, Ah Yun and Zheng Qingchuan sat in one, the other maids and mothers-in-law sat in one, and the maids sat with the coachman.After going up to Xianlu Mountain and entering Xianlu Temple, Tong religiously went to burn incense, worship Buddha and ask for signs.Su Mu took Zheng Qingchuan and them to stand on the top of the mountain and watch the scenery.Looking at the green mountains in the distance, the mood was not wide and sky, Zheng Qingchuan asked: "Su Mu, will the official wife become like this" Su Mu smiled for a while, and said: "Have you heard the story of a woman who gave her husband a master" Zheng Qingchuan hurriedly replied: "I heard that it was a strange woman, and she later persuaded her husband to resign" Su Mu turned his head to look at Zheng Qingchuan's eyes, and said concisely: "People will change, but people are different." ”Zheng Qingchuan took two deep breaths, and his mood relaxed a little.Thinking that Su Mu might also become an official in the future, she had to do a little psychological construction for herself in advance.Then, Su Mu took Zheng Qingchuan's hand in front of Ah Qing and Ah Yun rarely.Ah Qing and Ah Yun immediately stared at their hands intently, their eyes shining as if they had discovered a new continent.A comfortable temperature came from the palm of your hand.Su Mu's move surprised her.However, Zheng Qingchuan plucked up his courage and did not hide, telling himself in his heart to be thick-skinned.In this way, Ah Qing and Ah Yun can see it directly, and she will not have to rack her brains to explain her relationship with Su Mu in the future.Suddenly, Ah Yun stretched out her hand and pointed at Su Mu's right hand cutely, and said directly: "Brother holds Qiqi's hand" has been educated by everyone in the Hong family since he was a child, Ah Qing and Ah Yun have long known that men and women are not kissed, Ah Qingzheng looked thoughtful.Su Mu explained to them: "Ah Qi and I have been married, do you remember" Ah Yun nodded her head cutely, still in surprise, not fully accepting this change.Because in the past, Su Mu and Zheng Qingchuan were always separated from her or A Qing, and they didn't seem to be very close.Ah Qing also nodded, his front teeth gritting his mouth.Su Mu explained: "If you have been married, you are husband and wife. ”He didn't ask Ah Qing and Ah Yun to change their name for Zheng Qingchuan, but just told them a fact.Zheng Qingchuan tried his best to be cheeky, but left all the explanations to Su Mu.In fact, she really wanted to listen to Su Mu's explanation to see if it would be convincing and different.As a result, Su Mu's explanation turned out to be so bland.Zheng Qingchuan was really afraid that Ah Qing and Ah Yun would not be able to accept it quickly.Suddenly, Ah Qing said: "The eldest brother and the eldest cousin have also become married, is it the same" Su Mu said: "It's the same." ”Ah Qing nodded, pursed his lips, and didn't ask, looking completely understood.Only Ah Yun is still cute on the side.Ah Yun's reaction was expected by Zheng Qingchuan, and Ah Qing's reaction was beyond Zheng Qingchuan's expectations.Su Mu thought that Aqing completely understood.However, when they returned home, at night, Ah Qing took Zheng Qingchuan to their house to sleep, leaving Su Mu alone.Su Mu deliberately shouted at her, but she and Ah Yun still took it for granted, without any hesitation, and their attitude was still the same as before, there was no change at all, and they still regarded Zheng Qingchuan as a little friend.Zheng Qingchuan understood that although Ah Qingbing was smart, the child's understanding of husband and wife was only superficial.She could only make an embarrassed expression:
