Man depends on his clothes, and his horse depends on his saddle.
But since it came out, regretting it was useless, Jinghe smiled: "You might as well try to insert that jade comb into my hair bun." ” Mo Mei brought it for her according to the instructions, and clapped her hands with a smile: "Madam is really smart, this jade comb is very suitable for this dress." ” Jing He smiled at her, turned around and went out to the flower hall where Mrs.
Yuan was waiting.
Mrs.
Yuan looked at the age of about fifty, the sideburns could not hide the pale hair, a square face, but with a tall lonely crutch, she was a little old at this age, she was wearing an ochre-colored placket, which was equipped with a close-fitting color shirt with a stand-up collar, but it was also a decent dress, which was very in line with the etiquette of going to the Buddhist temple to eat vegetarian food.
Jinghe stepped forward to greet her and got into the carriage prepared by Mrs.
Yuan.
Mrs.
Yuan's expression was a little restrained, and she seemed to be trying her best to find a topic to be close to Jing Hetao, and said: "I heard that the county lord worships Buddha all the year round and runs a medicinal food shop, so I must have studied vegetarian food very much.
There are quite a few places in this Quzhou city where the food is exquisite and delicious, I am now in my mother's house and have nothing to do, and I will accompany the county lord to go around, you see what you want to eat, what you want to play, just come to me, I will definitely accompany you. ” These words have already revealed a very enthusiastic feeling, and Jinghe also wants to open a breakthrough from her, so he also smiled and said to her: "Mrs.
Yuan is too awarded, and I just think about eating all day long because I love to eat, but in fact, I can't talk about whether I am proficient or not." ” Mrs.
Yuan seemed to be a little stunned at this time, and she didn't catch Jinghe's words, and the carriage was cold for a while.
Jinghe said again, "I heard that Lord Yuan is now serving in Yanzhou?
” Mrs.
Yuan came back to her senses when she heard this, smiled to hide her embarrassment, and said, "The humble husband is now in Yanzhou. ” 'Oh,' Jinghe replied, "Yanzhou has always been a military location, and it is rich in products, so it is a good place, which shows that Lord Yuan is an official and has the right way to serve as a parent official in a good place like Yanzhou." ” When Mrs.
Yuan heard this, she was naturally honored, and said with a smile: "The county lord is too prestigious, and the clumsy husband is just a rough man, just be diligent, and always remember to share worries for the emperor, which is not as good as ......"
Although she spoke quickly, she stopped the car in time and changed the tone of her words, "Compared to those ministers in the court, they are all day long, and even the ladies and grandmothers who preside over the feeding in the various mansions are also very busy." ” Jinghe was a little awkward when she heard this, but Mrs.
Yuan couldn't think that it was very wrong, she said in a joking tone: "No, my cousin was admitted to the Jinshi last year, and now he is also out to do the county order, I also heard the sister-in-law in the lobby mention it before I left Beijing, saying that it seems easy to be a parent official, but in fact, there is a lot of knowledge in it, I only knew how to read in the past, but many truths cannot be explained in the Four Books and Five Classics." ” When Mrs.
Yuan heard this, her face changed slightly, and she hurriedly pulled out a smile and said: "The county lord looks at him as polite and polite, and his mother's family is also talented. ” Jinghe hooked his lips and smiled, it is not difficult to see from these words that Lord Yuan should not be a Jinshi and a first, so will it be a lifter?
Only then did she realize that she didn't know much about the qualifications of Quzhou officials over the years, and it was no wonder that she was not an official of the Ministry of Officials, how could she know the origin of each official?
Thinking of this, Jinghe suddenly understood the meaning of the official in Chu Qi's note, the official should be the official of the ministry, and Chu Qi asked himself to find a way to find someone from the ministry's department to check the old files, so as to find out the clues of the Quzhou case back then.
For example, this Mrs.
Yuan, Jinghe couldn't help but hesitate when she saw her chattering enthusiastically, she asked bluntly at this time, regardless of Mrs.
Yuan's face?
Or wait to come back from checking the old files from the ministry and ask?
She quickly chose the former, in her opinion, her days in Quzhou are not short, since there is nothing to gain, it is better to startle the snake and see how many stupid birds will jump out.
Thinking of this, Jinghe smiled and asked, "Madame looks young and energetic, forgive me for asking, how old are you now?"
” Mrs.
Yuan was so happy that Jinghe praised her, and said casually: "Cough, Madam is really good at complimenting, where am I still young, and my white hair has been born, and now I am considered six out of forty." ” "Having gray hair at the age of forty-six must be a lot of daily worries," Jing Heshun said, trying her best to pretend to be gossiping, "Lord Yuan should be younger than you to let you worry so much." ” "What's so small, he's the same age as me," Mrs.
Yuan said, "I think I grew up with him in the village......"
Mrs.
Yuan said this, and suddenly realized that she had said something that shouldn't be said, and said with a smile: "Look at what I said about these and not, let the county lord see the joke." ” "What did Mrs.
Yuan say," Jinghe's eyebrows and eyes crooked with a smile, "Isn't it common for women to gossip like this, in the past, I used to gossip with Mrs.
Shizi of Chengguo Mansion and Mrs.
Shizi of Qin'an Bofu, just to kill boredom." ” Mrs.
Yuan thought that Jinghe was just one of those women who loved to gossip, and she was a little relieved, but who knew that what Jinghe said later was like a thunderclap on the ground, which made her a little overwhelmed.
Jinghe asked, "I don't know which subject Lord Yuan is?"
” Mrs.
Yuan's face turned slightly pale, and she quickly smiled again: "Tsk......
It's strange to say that the county lord was raised by a scholar family, and the words he said were also like this, but it's a pity that I'm not literate, and the men outside, I'm more than capable of enough, and I can't remember it if I ask. ” Avoiding answering, Jinghe smiled slightly and nodded, which was regarded as a response.
In her opinion, Mrs.
Yuan is shrewd and capable, and if her husband is promoted, she will never be unaware of this kind of thing that can be used to show off on a daily basis and expand her social circle (the same department or classmates are convenient for each other).
There is one possibility of this situation, and that is......
Lord Yuan is not even a person, but a fame who spends money to donate, and even more, an official who spends money to buy.
This assumption surprised Jinghe and made Mrs.

Yuan very uncomfortable.
Although the vegetarian food of Yuquan Temple is good, but the two of them have no appetite, Jinghe only sandwiched two pieces of tofu skin buns to eat, and after dinner, Mrs.
Yuan insisted on accompanying her to visit the temple, but she was obviously silent, and there was little gossip.
Jinghe saw that she had already sensed her temptation, but she didn't care, she only inquired about the affairs of Quzhou back then, and Mrs.
Yuan, a shrewd person, actually answered left and right.
Coming out of Yuquan Temple, Mrs.
Yuan sent Jinghe back to the post house before saying goodbye.
