Zheng Qingchuan's expression was serious, he only listened, and did not rush to interject.The prefect's wife looked a little sad, as if to set off the difficulty in her words, and continued: "Hey, my family also has six vegetarian dishes, three meat and one soup, and the food is no different from other people's families, and it is not luxurious.Does my lord love silver, don't love him, he just loves to be an official, but, if he doesn't honor others with silver, he can't be an official, even, if he doesn't respect silver, those evaluations given by officials can kill people, so ah, I hope Su Tongju can understand the difficulties of our family" The story told by Mrs.
Prefect was a little touching, and she was the first to move herself, wiping the moist corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and then holding Zheng Qingchuan's hand and patting it gently, her posture seemed to be a little pleading.This is a strategy for mourning soldiers, and Zheng Qingchuan is no stranger to this.In the TV series, when the chivalrous man pointed his sword at the mountain bandits, the mountain bandits begged: I have an eighty-year-old mother and a six-year-old child Zheng Qingchuan is suspicious of the prefect's wife's words.At least, the matter of filial piety to silver can be regarded as a reality, at the same time, the reality is in front of you, if Su Mu does not have the big backer of the Hong family, and the prefect is the official of the general judgment, why should he lower his posture so kindly?
If Su Mu did not have a backer, the prefect might have solved Su Mu together with the governor However, when the prefect's wife said this, she meant that Su Mu connived at the prefect's greed and knowledge of the law, and even wanted to pull Su Mu as an accomplice, Zheng Qingchuan was thinking, so calm that his mood did not even make a little waves, Because the prefect's wife does not have any conditions that make her tempted, nor does she have anything to fear her.The most important thing is that Su Mu is a deep and mature man, not a three-year-old child, Zheng Qingchuan does not have to worry about him being abducted by the prefect.As long as she didn't drag him back, she recognized the situation, and Zheng Qingchuan calmly reassured: "Mrs.
Xiao, I can't call the shots about these things you said.But I can tell you a word. ”Mrs.
Prefect made a smile, and then her expression was very trusting, and said: "Okay, I'm relieved, who doesn't know, Su Tongju and Mrs.
Su are childhood sweethearts, such a couple is the most affectionate, and Su Tongju will definitely be able to listen to what Mrs.
Su said" Saying this, Mrs.
Prefect's eyebrows moved, and her expression was a little ambiguous.Zheng Qingchuan pretended to be careless, ignored the ambiguous meaning in the prefect's wife's words, and pursed his lips and smiled.After calming down for a while, the prefect's wife suddenly asked: "Do you like the hot spring villa I heard that the hot springs are very beautiful and beautiful, I heard that there was a favorite concubine in a certain dynasty, and she was still a beauty at the age of forty. ”Zheng Qingchuan said with a smile: "It is difficult to pick out one of 10,000 such people. ”Mrs.
Prefect lowered her voice and said with a smile: "Then, Mrs.
Su likes it" Obviously, this is prepared."
As long as Mrs.
Su agrees, it will be Mrs.
Su's bag" Zheng Qingchuan pursed his lips, the corners of his mouth curled, but his eyes were a little cold.Shangguan currying favor with Xiaguan, this is not only funny, if outsiders are coldly watching, this is a bit sad.Zheng Qingchuan thought to himself: What is the hardship of this prefect, won't he settle accounts, instead of sending such a valuable gift to Su Mu, it is better to keep the big treasure of the hot spring villa, don't be greedy anymore, suddenly the mouth suddenly opened, Zheng Qingchuan no longer believed the kind of words that the prefect's wife said about the prefect's suffering, the reason why the prefect is willing to send a valuable hot spring villa at any cost must be that he plans to be greedy in the future, and the money is much more than the value of the hot spring villa, and greed can be attributed to human nature.
But if you are too greedy, it is not a little bad, Mrs.
Prefect continued to look at Zheng Qingchuan with ambiguous eyes.Zheng Qingchuan replied: "I believe in karma, I don't rob other people's treasures.I think that such a good hot spring mountain resort must be worth a lot of money, and it is a big treasure.If Mrs.
Xiao guards it well, she may be able to turn into a cornucopia. ”When Mrs.
Prefect heard this, she laughed, trembling a little, covering her mouth with a handkerchief, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes could no longer be hidden, and she said in an affectionate voice: "Mrs.
Su is really good at saying auspicious words, ouch cornucopia haha, my lord likes to listen to this the most" Zheng Qingchuan didn't answer, and stretched out his hand to turn the teacup.Mrs.
Prefect's eyes were glued to Zheng Qingchuan's body, and she didn't leave for a while, she still liked to guess in her heart, for fear of missing Zheng Qingchuan's hint to her, and said: "Oh, let's go to the hot spring villa together another day, and invite Mrs.
Tongzhi to bring the children with me, it's a pity, it's still summer, I really wish I would spend the winter tomorrow and soak in the hot springs in winter, and then, the skin is like mutton fat jade" The reality is in front of you, and it is becoming more and more obvious, the prefect is afraid of Su Mu rather than Su Mu, It is better to say that Zheng Qingchuan, the Hong family behind Su Mu, looked at the bright smile of the prefect's wife, and suddenly laughed at himself: I am exercising my IQ like this, and I am full of food, sitting here and making mistakes with others.The laughter of Ah Qing and Ah Yun outside the door attracted her more than the hot spring villa, and she couldn't sit still."
The little girls are having a good time outside, so let's go out and have a look."
The corners of the prefect's mouth were pursed, cocked, her eyes were warm, and she smiled quite charmingly: "Don't worry, let's talk about some private words, children like adults not in front of them, so that they can have more fun." ”Zheng Qingchuan took a sip of tea, stopped going around, and said directly: "My father-in-law has just arrived, and he wants the prefect to help take care of it."
Our two families often come and go, and Mrs.
Xiao is approachable, which touches me very much and I am grateful.To be honest, I don't know much about officialdom, and I even stay away.My husband is smarter than I am, and I think I just need to keep him in trouble.The elders in the capital often wrote to me, always telling me the same thing, in the final analysis, to be cautious.Maybe I don't have enough experience, and they always don't worry about me. ”These words made the prefect's wife suddenly put away her smile, and then turned into a bitter smile, and suddenly stopped testing Zheng Qingchuan, but inexplicably turned into a heart-to-heart conversation, but led out the truth."
Don't laugh at me, I just looked like I was singing" The meaning of this sentence is probably this: I just looked like a funny clown, and this is also extended to: Actually, what I just said was insincere, not the original intention, and there was a bitterness.In this way, it completely overturned the previous words about the hot spring villa, Zheng Qingchuan pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes were focused and sincere, and he shook his head.Mrs.
Prefect has become a homely look, less disguised on her expression, but a little back to basics, and said: "Actually, after knowing what my master did, I was also suspenseful and afraid, and I hope that he will be a clean official praised by everyone, not to be secretly hated by others, and not to leave a handle for others."
My whole family relies on him, but those things that have been done have been wrong, one wrong step, one wrong step, one out of control" After speaking, she lowered her head and was decadent, no longer that exaggerated smile.After the prefect's wife was quiet for a while, Zheng Qingchuan said: "I remember that the elder mentioned that Su Mu should not pursue the previous matter.He also told a lot of words, to the effect that he should not overkill. ”These are definitely made up by Zheng Qingchuan, when Old Lady Zheng and Old Lady Hong talk to Su Mu, they always avoid her and hardly tell her.However, last night, Su Mu told her that he would not pursue the prefect's previous affairs, saying that the recent disputes in the yamen revolved around the matter in front of him.So, different paths lead to the same end.There is no need for Su Mu to take the initiative to lie to Zheng Qingchuan when chatting, he really didn't intend to pursue the dirty things before.Su Mu knew better than Zheng Qingchuan how to mix with the prefect's wife in the officialdom for the time being, looking at Zheng Qingchuan with bated breath, his eyes bursting with surprise, as if he was a little unbelievable, but he was very happy, "Hehe, my lord also said that Su Tong is a gentleman, different from other second ancestors."
In fact, my lord also admires Su Tongju very much, and also admires the old man Hong Ge in the capital.He said that if he could go to the capital to meet Hong Ge Lao and drink a cup of tea from the Hong family, it would be better than being an official of the prefect of Laoshizi" Zheng Qingchuan was a little tired, took the initiative to pick up the teapot, added tea to the prefect's wife, and then said with a smile: "People outside envy the capital, and people in the capital envy the outside." ”Mrs.
Prefect took a sip of tea, hurriedly shook her hand and said: "The people in the capital envy what is outside, everyone knows, the most prosperous people in the capital have traveled all over the country, done all over the local officials, and they want to be a Beijing official when they die, but it is a pity, it is difficult and difficult" After resting, she took another sip of tea, and continued: "Although the people who are released can scrape the ground, but after scraping, they must send the best things into the capital, in fact, they are scraping the ground for the officials in the capital, otherwise, others will step on it casually, and they will trample the little ants below to death."
They are the master, and a person like my lord is like an errand servant" Zheng Qingchuan laughed facefully, thinking that this was a bit interesting, and continued to pour tea for the prefect's wife.After saying so much, you will definitely have a dry mouth.The prefect's wife really didn't have a good show today, so she stayed at Su's house for lunch before leaving.After sending off the guests, Ah Qing asked: "Qiqi, what did you say in the house, talk about it for so long" Zheng Qingchuan handed a red plum to Ah Qing's mouth, and then handed another to Ah Yun, before saying: "The prefect's wife told an interesting story."
The ant holds the gold above its head, and then the soles of other people's shoes will not step on it. ”Ah Qing chewed the sweet and sour plums, smiled, his eyes showed interest, and asked in a vague voice: "Then what" Zheng Qingchuan: "Gold is tempting, others can get it and others take the gold in the hands of ants, and if you have to continue walking, even if it is not this person's feet, there are another person's feet."
Before someone else's next foot is stepped on, the ant must quickly raise the gold again. ”Ah Yun shook her head: "It's not fun at all" Zheng Qingchuan saw that Ah Yun spit out the plum core, so he handed her another plum, and said with a smile: "Of course the vicious circle is not fun, Ah Yun is smarter than me, I was almost deceived" t:
