Because Zheng Qingchuan and Second Miss Yin were chatting happily, Second Miss Yin was like a shield, blocking the approach of others, because the other ladies were either embarrassed to disturb or couldn't interject at all, although they all wanted to get close to Su Tongju's wife, but they had palpitations.Everyone present knows that the prefect loves silver and gold, and the same is true for the same knowledge, only the new Su Tongju is elusive, and the merchants in Jingzhou City have not yet figured out his preferences, and they want to do what they like, but they don't know how to start, and they even feel that the Mrs.
Su in front of them is deliberately pretending to be stupid, knowing their purpose, but not giving them a chance to speak such a comparison, the prefect's wife on the other side seems to be more humane, and the prefect's wife is really comprehensive, and she took time out of her busy schedule to say:" After singing this play, Mrs.
Su will order it" Zheng Qingchuan smiled: "Mrs.
Xiao order it, or let the elders order it" Everyone coaxed: "Mrs.
Su doesn't need to be too polite to order a play" Zheng Qingchuan took the play list, held it with both hands, and politely handed it to an older lady next to him, saying: "Come on" "Ouch, don't dare" The lady was first flattered, and then hurriedly refused, with a smile on her face.Seeing that Zheng Qingchuan was winning the favor of others, the eyes of the prefect's wife turned deep and intriguing.In this world, the Tao has always been one of those who have attained the Tao with much help, and those who have lost the Tao with little help, and conversely, those who have more help are more likely to gain the Tao, and those who have little help are more likely to lose the Tao.Therefore, holding together is the trend of the times, of course, the prefect lady does not want these people who rushed to send money to her family to go to the Su family, and when the prefect's wife slightly opened her red lips and was about to interject, the second girl Yin suddenly said very impolitely: "Since you all refuse, why don't I have a little bit of the West Chamber" Everyone's eyes looked at the second girl Yin, and they all felt that this young junior should not be so reckless.However, no one said anything, but the meaning of their eyes was very rich, and their minds were active.The matchmaker and Cui Yingying on the stage had already appeared, babbling and singing, and the second girl Yin whispered to Zheng Qingchuan: "When everyone thinks I'm not good, Mrs.
Tongzhi has to marry me as a daughter-in-law for everyone to see, this Sima Zhao's heart is average, and the wolf's ambition can't hide from others" Zheng Qingchuan smiled and didn't answer.If she agreed, wouldn't it show that the Su family and the Tongzhi family were not in harmony, and there were more tricks on the stage than on the stage, but Zheng Qingchuan said a lot, but he kept holding back and didn't drink a sip of tea, he was too tired to fight his heart, and he was tired of being thirsty In the afternoon, after Zheng Qingchuan went home, he told Ah Qing and Ah Yun: "I don't want to go to the banquet anymore" Ah Yun said sympathetically: "Then don't go" Zheng Qingchuan smiled happily.Ah Qing was bold and said, "I want to go and see it, but it's a pity that I can't go for you."
However, I can go with you" In the evening, the sun no longer makes people feel hot, the halo is dim, when Su Mu came back, he saw Zheng Qingchuan, A Qing and A Yun bowing in the courtyard, all three of them were dressed as men, and the ponytail was left behind their heads beautifully.He stopped with a smile and looked at it for a moment.Zheng Qingchuan had already seen Su Mu, so he smiled slyly, deliberately kicked hard, and then the ball flew towards Su Mu, like an angry bird, she stopped, raised her hand, and wiped the sweat on her face.The three Peugeot faces seem to shimmer against the sweat.Ah Qing and Ah Yun shouted with a smile: "Brother" Su Mu reached out to catch the ball, steadily, and then threw it back, without using his feet.Ah Qing, Ah Yun and Zheng Qingchuan continued to kick.Su Mu accepted the reality again, and curled the corners of his mouth: when he was not at home, their joy would not be reduced Su Mu was more tired today, said hello to Mrs.
Su, and went into the small study.After a long time, Zheng Qingchuan came in, had already bathed, and changed into clothes.Su Mu was flipping through a booklet that looked relatively old, if it wasn't a book, it should be an account book.The expression is very serious, and the eyes are as sharp as eagle eyes.Zheng Qingchuan waited quietly for a while before he spoke: "Su Mu." ”Su Mu raised his head unhurriedly: "Ah Qi, what's the matter" After a busy day, he was still full of energy, he really forgot to sleep and eat Zheng Qingchuan reminded: "It's time for dinner" Su Mu's hand still didn't put down the old booklet, and said: "Ah Qi, can you bring my dinner in alone" Zheng Qingchuan didn't answer, turned around and left, and after a while, she brought her dinner in.Su Mu is busy today beyond her imagination, in the past few months, this is the first time that Su Mu has not eaten dinner with Aqing and Ayun, and like a high school student preparing for the exam, he reads the booklet while eating.Zheng Qingchuan also broke the rule of not saying anything, used chopsticks to flick the rice in the bowl, and after thinking about it, said: "Su Mu, if you need to settle accounts, I can help ensure that you are faster than you" Because she can use Arabic numerals Su Mu smiled and said trustingly: "Okay, I'll be busy until late today."
This is an important thing. ”Zheng Qingchuan tilted his head and asked: "Evidence" Su Mu said succinctly: "Yes" Zheng Qingchuan was silent, chewing water spinach, but her mind was like a prelude to a tsunami She wondered: Su Mu is going to officially fight with the prefect Some time ago, the debate was relatively mild, once it was involved in the account books, it would be the strength of a hard hammer She even thought to herself: If Su Mugan overturned the prefect, would he be directly promoted to fill the vacancy in the prefect However, these are just her guesses.Su Mu didn't seem to have shown this kind of ambition in front of her, and Zheng Qingchuan agreed with one sentence: ambition is dangerous.When she was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, she said to Su Mu succinctly: "There is a businessman, Mrs.
Tongzhi is greedy for her family's shop and wants to marry her as a daughter-in-law, but she refuses.I invited her to my house. ”After listening to this, Su Mu did not interfere, and said gently: "Ah Qi, don't worry about this, don't be so careful." ”Zheng Qingchuan smiled and went out with the dishes and chopsticks, with brisk steps, like a happy farmer's wife, with a simple sense of wealth.instructed the nurse to prepare supper on time, and then Zheng Qingchuan went back to the small study and helped Su Mu settle the accounts seriously like a primary school student doing homework.From those words such as "autumn harvest" and "disaster relief", if she guessed correctly, this should be the account book of the official treasury of the yamen, she knows a little bit of the law, embezzling the money of the government is corruption, and collecting the silver sent by the people is bribery, Su Mu is going to find another way to completely defeat the prefect She didn't ask much, although her heart was very active.Su Mu glanced at the strange symbols that Zheng Qingchuan wrote on the paper, and there were many crosses and words, because he trusted Zheng Qingchuan, so he didn't ask too much.Sometimes, the tacit understanding between two people is as natural as the dawn of the day.Zheng Qingchuan suddenly said: "Su Mu has discovered" Su Mu asked: "What" Zheng Qingchuan said: "If this account book is true, or the person who keeps the account is not a confused drunkard, then the grain spent on disaster relief is twice as much as the grain stored in the original official treasury" Su Mu's eyes suddenly looked bottomless, as if there was a whirlpool torrent.Unless the prefect is a philanthropist who does good deeds and does not leave a name, he smashes pots and sells iron, and mobilizes wealthy businessmen to donate money, and sends five thousand taels of silver to disaster relief, but he does not record his merits at all Of course, this is impossible Zheng Qingchuan expressed doubts: "This is a fake account or a waste account that the prefect has prepared a long time ago" Su Mu's fingers pressed straight on the table, because of the force, his nails turned white, and he said in a low voice: "I will check again to be sure." ”Zheng Qingchuan said: "The prefect is more difficult to deal with, and the prefect's wife is the same.Moreover, according to what I saw at the banquet today, the prefect's wife is the prefect's helper in doing bad things" The so-called husband and wife work together to make a fortune, and suddenly there was thunder outside, and it was raining heavily at night, Zheng Qingchuan glanced at the door worriedly, looked at Su Mu again, and pursed his lips.Su Mu packed up the account books and said with a gentle face: "Ah Qi, you go to sleep first." ”Zheng Qingchuan stretched out his finger and pointed to the hibiscus couch in the small study, and said, "I'll sleep here first, it's not cold anyway, when you want to rest, take me back" If Su Muxing was alone and busy under the lamp until late at night, she would be distressed.The current Su Mu is more important than herself in her eyes.Feelings are grapes that will ferment, and with the addition of sweet sugar, and with time, they become the taste of wine, and they are no longer what they were at the beginning.Su Mu had no choice but to acquiesce with a smile.Zheng Qingchuan lay on his side on the hibiscus couch, and despite yawning, his eyes did not close, looking at Su Mu's back.The lights and shadows in the house will shake, but Su Mu is as calm as a mountain.She suddenly realized that being an official is a high-risk profession, and if she is not serious, she will not know how she died; If she is too serious, but threatens the interests of her peers, she will definitely be seen as a thorn in the side by others and regret it, why didn't she go all out to let Su Mu give up the road of being an official She fell asleep, and Su Mu was still busy next to the oil lamp.When his shoulders and neck were sore, he reflexively remembered Zheng Qingchuan's hands, those hands that could exert the strength of softness and strength, he turned his head to look at the sleeping Zheng Qingchuan, and then almost without hesitation, put down the brush, locked the account book into the box, walked over to pick up Zheng Qingchuan, and walked to another room.Even on a scorching summer day, the heavy rain at night would bring a little cold breath, and the sleeping Zheng Qingchuan consciously approached Su Mu.The nurse who kept vigil hadn't slept yet, she waited for Su Mu and Zheng Qingchuan to go back to the room, locked the door and window of the small study, and then told the mother-in-law and maid who were on patrol at night not to snooze before she went to sleep.The curtain in the middle of the night was dark, like black glass, dark and quiet
