If it is true, then if a person of such good character becomes an official in the future, will he not be even more harmful to the people, and how can such a person be an official?
”Some people said: Although Wu Cheng looks like a young and promising, after all, he is a merchant who cannot be used on the table.It's just that I can only think about this in my heart, now that the imperial court intends to raise the identity of a businessman, and the Lord of Futai is carrying Zhao Chonglin and his wife, who are also from merchants, it is not appropriate to say this casually.There are not a few people who have such thoughts, and then look at the current scene, Wu Cheng, the new imperial examination, must have no good future, for the sake of a woman, he is really confused.Looking at the attitude of the people of Futai, the voice of the discussion became louder and louder, and Wu Cheng did not defend himself from beginning to end, thinking that it was true.Wu Cheng's face was pale, and he wanted to open his mouth several times, but he was stopped by his husband's eyes, and he forced himself to stand up after calming down, "I did the wrong things when I was young and impulsive, and now I regret it every time I think about it, and if I do it wrong, I will make a mistake, please punish it." ”After asking for the guilt, he looked at Zhao Chonglin again and bowed his hand, "What Lord Zhao did and said today is not at fault for being reasonable or reasonable.Today, in front of all of you, I solemnly promise Lord and Mrs.
Zhao that there will never be any inappropriate remarks in the future.In the past, I lost my words after drinking, and from now on I should not drink a drop of alcohol as a warning. ”At this time, Lord Futai stood up, "Wu Juren, you have to remember what you said today, and think twice about everything in the future."
It is not easy for you to study for many years and you have the sincerity to repent, so you will only be punished to return home and study quietly for three years. ”Wu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as he didn't get rid of his fame, he could bear it, and after picking out all those old things today, he couldn't do anything with those old things."
The student accepts the punishment, strictly obeys the teachings of the adults, and when he returns, he must cultivate his mind and devote himself to studying."
Nian Wenxuan looked at Zhao Chonglin again, "General Zhao, this government knows that you are eager to protect your wife, but it is really inappropriate to beat people, this government will let you punish yourself with a cup to set an example." ”Who dares to say that the people of Futai are partial to Zhao Chonglin, which is already very face-saving for the new imperial examiners.Otherwise, on the day of the Luming feast, there was a scandal to remove the fame of the lifter, which of the lifters present had light on his face?
When the news reached Mrs.
Nian's ears, she only said that there was a slight misunderstanding, "It is inevitable to drink a few more glasses on the big day." ”Her indistinct voice inevitably made people misunderstand that Zhao Chonglin had drunk too much and caused the accident, and Yang Qiu'e had just received the letter, so she followed Mrs.
Nian's words."
It is inevitable that there will be more alcohol, but fortunately, General Zhao is calm and calm.Regardless of them, we play ours. ”It is said that there is no place for Yang Qiu'e to speak here, but her heart is also biased.Mrs.
Nian smiled and stretched out her hand to touch her in the air, "Just protect him with your mouth." ”Meng Jiaojiao played the round tightly, "He's just a bastard, I'm really sorry to disturb your fun, I will punish myself for making amends to you." ”Meng Jiaojiao drank wine and poured another glass to greet everyone, and no one mentioned it again after that.Most of the ladies at today's banquet didn't recognize Yang Qiu'e, someone asked curiously, and the words fell into Mrs.
Nian's ears, and she immediately raised her voice to tell Yang Qiu'e about the past, and there was a bit of pride in her tone.Yang Qiu'e begged for a few clever words around her before turning to something else, and after that, there were more people talking to Yang Qiu'e, and she had to deal with it for a long time before she could take a break to talk to Meng Jiaojiao."
The woman in the lake blue clothes over there is Wu Cheng's wife, Zhao Chonglin beat Wu Cheng over there, and Lord Nian punished Wu Cheng for not being allowed to refer to next spring's examination."
No wonder her eyes were flustered when she met herself before, and after the commotion over there, she turned her head to look at herself, thinking that she knew all those things.Meng Jiaojiao suddenly remembered why she felt familiar, she had seen her once when she was in the county seat, and that time she also looked at herself like this, and her eyes were full of melancholy.Wu Cheng is really not a man who can be trusted, and once he has become a relative, he should give birth to his wife, but it can be seen that he has not done it.Mrs.
Shan sat next to Meng Jiaojiao, half-listening and half-guessing, guessing that it was probably because Zhao Chonglin was doing it over there because of Meng's family.It is false to say that she is not envious, she drank the soup and lowered her eyes to collect the envy and loss.If her husband could have done even one thing for her, she wouldn't be selfish.That day, her husband came home and found that his hearts and minds had been given to the Zhao family by her as a favor, and he was first overjoyed that Zhao Chonglin was not easy to accept in front of his colleagues, as long as he accepted it.But when he learned that the person was not what Zhao Chonglin wanted, and she had already changed her interests, he immediately changed his face and even wanted to do it.That's it, she and her children just have a good life.With those properties in their hands, the three of them can't stand much grievance.As for him, let him go.Meng Jiaojiao didn't expect to see Wu Cheng at the gate of Futai Mansion when she left, and before Meng Jiaojiao looked away, Wu Cheng actually made a gesture to him in front of everyone at the door.Although he didn't say anything, his attitude was put out, and some of the people who saw it thought that his trip was inappropriate, and some thought that he was frank.If it was somewhere else, it would have been fine, and now in front of everyone, Meng Jiaojiao returned the salute even if she felt disgusting again.Turning around and getting into the car with the help of the man, she was afraid that she would not be able to help but show a look of disgust when she looked at her more.Zhao Chonglin gave up his horse and got into the carriage, and as soon as he entered the carriage, he saw that his little daughter-in-law's face was ugly, "When I find a chance to catch him and beat him, you can say whether to keep his dog legs." ”"I want to beat him up myself."
He was already fine, and he really damned it.Zhao Chonglin's depression that was originally blocked in his chest suddenly dissipated, and he was gearing up to think about the opportunity for his daughter-in-law to beat Wu Cheng in person."
He should be going back to the county seat in the next few days, I think he will find an opportunity on the road."
He smiled, stretched out his long arm and hugged his daughter-in-law into his arms, and kissed his daughter-in-law's puffed face."
By the way, I'll take you out to run a horse and relax for two days."
When she heard the running horse, Meng Jiaojiao was immediately happy, but she was only happy for a moment and then her little face collapsed."
A bunch of things, where can I go out and play with peace of mind.Now it's different from before, you have made a military order. ”Hearing that his daughter-in-law was hurting herself, Zhao Chonglin grinned even more, "It's not bad for the hard work of the past two days, I believe in you." ”But it was precisely because of his trust in himself that she couldn't take it lightly.Zhao Chonglin said that he would definitely do it, and after staring at Wu Cheng for two days in a row, he determined the day he would leave Fucheng.It was immediately arranged, and half a day after the Wu family's carriage went out of the city, he came back from duty in the evening and went out of the city with his daughter-in-law stepping on the city gate when it was closed.When he went out of the city, a guard who was familiar with him asked a lot, "Lord Zhao is on business when he goes out of the city?"
”Zhao Chonglin stopped the horse and said very casually: "Tomorrow will be off, and I will take my family to Zhuangzi for a day." ”When the guard saw that Zhao Chonglin was followed by three carriages, he immediately smiled and said two words of compliment.After walking out of the city for half an hour, Meng Jiaojiao got out of the carriage and rode her horse in riding clothes.The husband and wife ran on the official road with one horse and one horse, leaving Kong and them to slow down with the carriage.The carriage went up to the newly built Zhuangzi in the suburbs, and Meng Jiaojiao and Zhao Chonglin chased the Wu family's carriage all the way.The carriage had been on the road for half a day, and they should have been able to catch up in the first half of the night.The best place to stay at this time from going out of the city was a town, and I arrived at the town at two o'clock and saw the person answering at the entrance of the town."
Brother, sister-in-law, they are staying at the Helai Inn, and there are brothers watching there, when do you say you will bring that kid out?"
Zhao Chonglin felt sorry for his daughter-in-law, "Find a place to rest first, we will live in the town tonight." ”In the upper room of another inn, I washed my face with hot water, ate and drank a cup of tea to relieve my greasy.The couple slept peacefully until the end of the day, Meng Jiaojiao changed into dark men's clothes, Zhao Chonglin personally tied her hair in a bun, and then took her out of the window and left the inn.The streets were so quiet that even the sound of each other's breathing could be heard clearly, and it was time to meet them after walking another cup of tea out of town.An open sack on the ground revealed Wu Cheng's disgusting face, Meng Jiaojiao frowned slightly, and Zhao Chonglin tied the mouth of the sack, since the person was confirmed, don't waste time.The two people who brought Wu Cheng walked away to control the wind, they didn't know anything.Meng Jiaojiao had never beaten anyone, and after a little hesitation, she kicked on the sack first.The thick-soled shoes she deliberately wears, even if she kicks hard, it won't hurt much, and she is prepared.But she was so inexperienced that she kicked her calf bone.Seeing Zhao Chonglin frowning, if it weren't for his daughter-in-law, he would have kicked her together, how much ability."
Look how I kicked, and hit the thick flesh."
He kicked first and then tapped the toes of his toes to show her the "thighs, buttocks, abdomen." ”After that, he looked at his daughter-in-law and shook his head helplessly, "Stand and wait for me." ”
