When it comes to things like handkerchiefs and embroidered shoes, the little girls in the palace do it on weekdays, and it is not Murong Wei's turn to be a first-class palace maid. couldn't see the arrogance of the tassel now, so Murong Wei casually threw the fishy handkerchief onto the tassel's hand.

Looking at the tassel with an embarrassed face, Murong Wei sneered silently in her heart, and the corners of her mouth twitched, revealing secret disdain.

Entering the post house, walking along the thick shade of the end of the corridor, the green bamboo on both sides of the path interlaced with bluestone slabs and cobblestones, the wind is vibrant, and the sweat on the market is eliminated, and everyone is particularly comfortable.

Murong Wei held a bouquet of gardenias bought in the market in her hand, and she was still talking with Xia Yuzhi: "The land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, the rich land of Taihu Lake, along the way, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, which shows that this Wuxi Taishou has a good political performance." If you look at the government's collection of taxes, the land fee of ten cents is reasonable and fair, and every payment is registered in the account, which looks good and not messy. ”

In the past two or three months, Xia Yuzhi has long been accustomed to Murong Wei always talking about the livelihood of the people, and seeing that she is now drawing inferences, she is very admired in her heart, and she also takes Wuxi Taishou, who is half a hundred years old, to heart.

It's a pity that Xiao Luochen is not here, otherwise the Five Cities Terracotta Division should really learn from the experience here.

The lack of openness and transparency in taxation, the intransigence of businessmen, the forcible seizure and exploitation of officials at all levels, and the small amount of money collected in the treasury have often caused people to complain, all of which have been the drawbacks of taxation in Beijing in recent years.

Xia Yuzhi was in his position to seek his own government, and when he thought of the Qianlong Guard that had just been formed, he felt that the burden on his body had been added to it.

Murong Wei pondered again, and added some gloom to her face: "I just saw with my own eyes that the officials and people here in Wuxi are close to each other, how natural and harmonious. The government is harmonious, and all industries are prosperous, which shows that Wu Taishou is very dedicated as an official. How can I report on my work in Beijing for several years in a row, and his name is not seen in the credit book?"

The royal banquet of the eighth row of the cloud hall in the first month of the first month is the regular meeting of Emperor Chongming to entertain the courtiers who entered Beijing to report on their work, and to discuss the reward for meritorious deeds. With a little attention, Murong Wei remembered the courtiers on the list in recent years clearly.

Wuxi is too conscientious and conscientious, the folk reputation is quite good, and here is a peaceful and prosperous era of living and working in peace and contentment, which is better than Jiangyin and Yangzhou.

How did Jiangyin Taishou be on the list every year, but there was no name of Wuxi Taishou on the banquet of Paiyun Hall every time?

Thinking of the dilapidated site of the official office, the newly renovated courtyard in the pavilion of the post house, and then thinking about the land fee of ten cents in the upper district of the morning market, Murong Wei had a rough idea of the situation of Wu Taishou in the past few years.

It shows that there is no one in Beijing, and it is difficult. A person like Wu Taishou who is at a disadvantage and can still have a clean breeze on his sleeves should be a good official in Xixia. It's a pity that my father lives far away in the temple, and although he asks the magistrate to report on his work every year, he can't avoid the deception of some officials.

Glancing at Xia Yuzhi, Murong Wei's face added some seriousness that could not be denied: "Third brother, I am inconvenient for women, and I can only knock on the side in front of my father." If the father asks about it in the future, the third brother will mention Jiangyin and Wuxi. ”

The formation of Qianlong Wei was also because Emperor Chongming felt that his ears and eyes were not well-versed enough, and on the one hand, for the sake of the safety of the palace, he also wanted to focus on the place, raise some available talents, and defend a territory for himself.

Xia Yuzhi knew the essence of it, and solemnly responded: "What Ah Wei said is exactly where my duty lies. Even His Majesty does not ask, and he should make it clear to His Majesty in 1510. ”

Good generals and loyal ministers are hard to find, how can they be allowed to be buried, and they will grow depressed in their own corner.

A trip to the morning market was quite fruitful, in addition to the fragrant sweat on the forehead, Murong Wei's soft-soled embroidered shoes with pink and white hibiscus flowers on a red background were stained with a lot of mud from the fish market street, and the skirt shirt was also dusty.

Xia Lanxin and Wen Wan are not much better. Xia Lanxin's fingers were stained with unwiped rice cake dregs, and she was still unsatisfied, and Wen Wan added a few strands of frosting to the hair on her chest, which was given by Fang Cai's sugar gourd.

Several people looked at their different images in the past, and couldn't help but smile at each other, not at all the usual dignified and graceful famous ladies.

They broke up in front of the hedge, and everyone went back to the room to re-do their makeup. The hot water was prepared in the clean room, and Murong Wei was served by Yingluo in a wide coat, ready to soak in the petal bath of dried roses.

Tassel remembered that the flower market on the whole street had not yet been there, thinking that Murong Wei had already agreed, and the iron had to be struck while it was hot, so he soaked Murong Wei's dirty handkerchief in the water first, and told the little girl to heat up the soju and iron the handkerchief when she came back.

took the soap beans and cleaned his hands again, and carefully applied some balm, and then the tassel carefully bowed to Murong Wei, and when she responded indifferently, he was like a bird out of the cage, and went out to see the excitement for the second time.

Su Duhan was confined in the courtyard by his mother in the morning, and he was very reluctant not to ask him to go out with Murong Wei.

had the heart to argue a few words with his mother, but Su Duhan felt that there were still many places to rely on his mother in the future. I was afraid that my mother was already suspicious, so I didn't dare to say more, so I just calmed down and pretended to be nothing, and accompanied my mother to breakfast.

The mother acted differently, and Su Duhan knew that he couldn't ask anything from Mingzhu's mouth, and he had to take the tassel path to see what was going on on Murong Wei's side.

He glanced at Ugin, the little servant close to him, and Ugin naturally knew what his master meant. Taking advantage of Mrs. Anguo's unpreparedness, she quietly slipped out, and after a short time, she inquired and understood, and came back to secretly greet Su Duhan.

Knowing that Murong Wei had returned to the room, but Tassel had gone out for the second time, it was a great opportunity. Su Duhan scolded his mother and said, "Third Brother Xia has already visited the market, and my son has also gone out to have a look, so as not to make Ah Wei and his mother angry." ”

Chu Zhaohui didn't know how to eat a meal, and he had the heart to ask his son, but he couldn't find any evidence, and he was a little interested. Knowing that Murong Wei had already returned, he let his son go shopping, and said with a reluctant smile: "It's just the addiction of the little girl's family, you can also take advantage of the excitement." ”

instructed him to take two small servants and not to crowd in crowded places, Chu Zhaohui instructed his son to go early and return early.

Su Duhan responded meekly, quit his mother and came out, where he was willing to bring more people, only brought one of Ujin, and hurriedly left the post house to find tassels.

The flower market in Wuxi is very lively, and the tassels have been greedy for a long time, and at this moment they are like fish in water, and they go straight to the purple and red street.

In addition to the precious orchid silver willow branches and leaves, there are many people in the flower market to sell the seasonal wormwood and calamus, all kinds of caryophyllus, hibiscus and other flowers are tied into a bunch in front of the door panel, see the tassel can not put down.

On the stone pavement in front of the door, there is also a clever little girl walking back and forth, straddling the bamboo basket and selling freshly picked flowers. For the Dragon Boat Festival, those purple, red, white, and yellow hollyhocks lie quietly in the bamboo basket, and the dew is rolling in the flower core.
