On a good day on August 15, something big happened in the border city, and the Ling family said to Mrs. Zhao, "It was said that the fire burned last night, and the wind helped the fire to burn down a street." ”

Zhao Changqing was a vigilant person, and immediately said, "Sister Zheng's family lives on Fuzi Street, which is the Ganjing Hutong where Mrs. Lin's family lives, and it is also on Fuzi Street. Why don't you ask someone to inquire about it, and see if it's okay? ”

Ling said, "Very much. Then he instructed Yahuan to send a manservant out to inquire.

After more than half an hour, the manservant sent back and said, "Mrs. Lin's house is fine, Mrs. Lin said thank you for the old lady and Mrs. for your concern, please rest assured that the old lady and Mrs. will come to talk to the old lady and Mrs. when you have time." It was Lord Zheng's house, and the fire started from that piece, burning most of the street in a row, and more than a dozen people were burned to death. Fortunately, the Zheng family is safe, but the house has burned down, and now the yamen has surrounded that area. The villain inquired for a long time, and then found out that Lord Zheng had temporarily placed all the children in the family in a nearby inn, and Mrs. Zheng was frightened and seemed to be not very well. ”

"How can this be done, the lack of clothes and medicine in the inn is not the common law." Zhao Changqing said, "If you don't know, it's okay, now that you know, our family shouldn't sit idly by." Brother Zheng sent Sister Zheng to marry far away, Lord Zheng is known as a clear name, and His Majesty has also rewarded him. Why don't I go and take a look, and pick up Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Zheng to live in our house. ”

The Ling family has always been a simple-minded person, the Zheng family is a family of imperial history, and Lord Zheng is still a Jinshi. Because he was born in a small scholarly family, Ling had special respect for people like Jinshi who were particularly good at reading, so he said, "This is very true." You go and see, I'll clean up the house. Move A-Ning out and ask him to sleep in my ear room, so that it is close to Mr. Su and it is cheap to recuperate. ”

Zhao Changqing changed his clothes and called Mr. Su to hurry away. said to Mr. Su in the car, "I don't know if Lord Zheng offended anyone." ”

Mr. Su said, "No matter who offends, this kind of ignition and burning a street has passed." ”

Zhao Changqing sighed, and Mr. Su said, "There are more people in the world who don't do anything in human skin, so sigh now, and there will be a time to sigh in the future." ”

Zhao Changqing said, "I think that if a person gets better, I can completely imagine what this person is like." If a person is bad, he really can't think of anything he can do. ”

"It's easier to be a bad guy than a good guy." Mr. Su sighed.

Yes, it's easier to be a bad guy than a good guy.

It's just that I came to this world once, how can I not cherish the time of my life that is kind to me.

The master and apprentice suddenly had a sense of urgency, and they couldn't help but smile at each other.

*******

It took more than half an hour to arrive at the inn where the Zheng family lived.

This inn is adjacent to the alley where the Zheng family is located on Fuzi Street, when the fire broke out, many people fled from their homes and had nowhere to go, the innkeeper ordered his men to open the door of the shop, and placed many people who escaped with their lives.

The Zheng family has a small population, except for the main family, there is only one girl and one old man who guards the door, and they are not in the house. Mrs. Zheng served Mrs. Zheng, who was two years older than Mrs. Zhao, and it was fortunate that she escaped in the middle of the night. Mrs. Zheng also looked very haggard, and when she saw Zhao Changqing and Mr. Su coming, she had nowhere to entertain. It's not good to talk in the house, and I'm afraid of arguing with Mrs. Zheng, so I have to talk outside.

In fact, Mrs. Zheng and Mr. Su met at Zhao Changqing and Lu Li, and Zhao Changqing still introduced Mr. Su first and said, "Auntie, I heard that something happened to this piece, come and take a look." Now that the house is burning, does my aunt have any plans? ”

Mrs. Zheng sighed, "Just now, the prefect's yamen sent someone over to pick us up, but the lord was quite angry and didn't agree, and now he is investigating the case with the prefect outside." The old lady's body is not very stable, she has just asked the doctor to diagnose her, and Yahuan has gone to decoction medicine. I thought about it, I would move to the inn for two days for the time being, and then move over when I found a house again. ”

Seeing that the Zheng family had no arrangements, Zhao Changqing said, "If this is the case, this inn is not a place to live for a long time after all, and besides, the old lady is so sick that it is inconvenient to eat and drink in the inn." Sister Zheng and I have always been sisters, and I used to go to the house to say goodbye, and my aunt also regarded me as a daughter. Before I came out, the elders of the family told me not to invite my aunt and old lady to my house for two days. Third, when the aunt and the old lady are safe, Uncle Zheng can be an official with peace of mind and ask for his life for the people. ”

Mrs. Zheng was still a little hesitant, and Zhao Changqing said, "If you want to say that other people's families are not at ease, I have been in contact with Sister Zheng for the past few years, and my aunt knows what my family is like." If my aunt is afraid of causing trouble to my family, then there is no need. Friends have the duty to save in an emergency, if I don't know, I know, I should help. Unless my aunt has a better arrangement, and asks my aunt not to be polite to me, otherwise if the old lady's illness is delayed at the inn, it will make me feel uneasy. ”

Zhao Changqing is very considerate of people by nature, so he said everything in Mrs. Zheng's heart. Mrs. Zheng is not a dead-eyed person, and said softly, "It's that I'm ruthless, so I'll trouble you." ”

Zhao Changqing and Mr. Su came over in a car, and the rest also brought two empty cars, and the Zheng family really didn't rescue much, just some bodies. Mr. Su gave Mrs. Zheng a pulse, read the prescription prescribed by the doctor, and prepared a new prescription, added or subtracted a few medicinal materials, and said to Mrs. Zheng, "The old man is old, frightened and cold, and the symptoms are a little serious, so don't use too strong medicine for the time being." ”

Mrs. Zheng knew that Mr. Su was proficient in medicine, and quickly thanked Mr. Su. Zhao Changqing said, "I'll send someone to grab the medicine, and Mr. will see if the old lady can move." ”

Mr. Su said, "Take a dose of medicine now, take another dose in the evening, and wait for the evening to feel the heat to fade." When the heat fades, please ask the old man to come over, and you go home first to get some clothes and bedding. I'll do it here. ”

"Then I will leave Yongfu behind, and my husband and aunt will send her if there is anything."

Zhao Changqing went down to leave two taels of silver for the shopkeeper, and asked the shopkeeper to add two more pots of good charcoal to the house. The shopkeeper is already good-hearted, and he is naturally more attentive and thoughtful when he gets the silver.

Zhao Changqing and Mr. Su went for so long, Zhao Rong also heard the letter, and listened to Ling's instruct Bai Pozi to take people to clean up the house, and when people went, Zhao Rong said to Ling's family in private, "Good and decent, if no one sets fire, how can you afford to burn that street?" It's not easy, mother. ”

Ling said, "If people don't pay attention, it's still excusable, if it's really a black-hearted person who set the fire, it will be thunder and thunder that day!" ”

Zhao Rong said, "That being said, my mother thought about it, maybe the Zheng family offended someone, and they only went to set fire to his house in the middle of the night." ”

Ling sighed, "Lord Zheng is a good official, many people have grievances, and they can't enter the prefect's yamen so they go to Lord Zheng's house to complain." Who doesn't know that Master Zheng is a good person! I know what you say, it's just that I'm afraid that someone will retaliate against the Zheng family, and our family will take in Mrs. Zheng and get into trouble! ”

"Ah Rong, you are a girl, and it is normal to be timid." Ling said earnestly, "Imagine that if it is our relatives who are burned today, if our relatives offend someone, do we want to help?" Although the Zheng family is not a relative, but they are also friendly with our family, Miss Zheng often came to our house to walk around before, and a few days ago your sister and the old lady and wife of his family came. What's more, his family came to the border city to be an official from other places, and he had no other relatives around him. Let's take a hand, it's not an exaggeration. I don't believe that someone dared to put it in our house today after setting it on fire yesterday, which is also a matter of Heavenly Reason. "If you want to talk about the Ling family, there was really no such chivalrous heart before, all because after Zhao Yong saved Miss Song some time ago and promoted to a hundred households, the Ling family had an understanding, thinking that helping people is a matter of accumulating virtue, and I can't say that there will be good fortune in a while. What's more, Zheng Yan is indeed known as a clear name, and the two families have some relationship, and Zheng Yan is a serious Jinshi official, which makes the Ling family, who was born in a small scholar, very envious and admired.

Zhao Rong was taught by her mother, but she was also very knowledgeable, and said with a smile, "I'm just worried that I didn't pay attention to offending Feng Jian before, and A-Ning was almost abducted." Wouldn't it be a thousand times more difficult than Feng Jian to set fire to Lord Yushi at this time, in case of resentment, our women don't go out much, I'm worried about my father and A-Ning. ”

Ling's face was really pale, thinking that what the youngest daughter said was also reasonable, no matter how important outsiders were to their own family, after a little thought, she didn't have any good ideas, so she said, "Your sister has already gone to pick up people, forget it, bring people first, and when your father comes back, let's discuss it again." ”

Zhao Rong finally had nothing to say.

After Zhao Changqing came back, he told the Ling family about taking the clothes and bedding, and said, "I see that the Zheng family didn't grab anything, Mrs. Zheng was sick in bed, and Mr. prescribed a prescription, saying that Mrs. Zheng would take them over in the evening when the heat faded." My mother packed two thick quilts for me, and the bedding in the inn was really thin. Take another set of grandmother's cotton clothes, a set of mother's cotton clothes, I will take it to Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Zheng to wear first, don't freeze on this cold day. ”

Ling is a person who has no ideas, and he is usually a housekeeper, but when he encounters any accidents, his IQ is not enough, she knows that her eldest daughter is always assertive, and she told Zhao Changqing about Zhao Rong's concerns at the beginning, and asked worriedly, "Our family won't get into trouble, right?" ”

Zhao Changqing raised his eyebrows slightly, didn't even look at Zhao Rong, and said to the Ling family, "It's not a trivial matter to burn half a street and kill more than a dozen people." The prefect is afraid that this official is difficult, and there is no one in the yamen who does not work hard to investigate. There was a fire at night, and even the inn on the opposite street opened the door in the middle of the night to ask those who were on fire to go in and avoid it. What's more, Zheng Yushi is now investigating the case with the prefect and the fellow intellectuals. Mo is afraid of wolves and tigers, that is, officialdom is overturned, who would directly burn half a street of grass and lose people's lives like this? When I came out of the inn, I saw that Wang Lao Shangshu had passed by in a car, and this matter must not be good. ”

Ling Shi put his mind at ease, "That's good, that's good!" This kind of king and eight lambs who thunder and thunder on that day really can't be spared! Take your clothes and bedding, and I will make them ready. ”

Zhao Changqing said, "Don't forget to burn the kang in A-Ning's house." ”

Ling Shi smiled, "You don't have to say this. I will have two more horses of material come out, and let the maids hurry out with their two clothes. ”

Zhao Rong secretly squeezed the veil tightly, and said with a smile, "Mother, Yihua is good at needlework, tell Yihua to do it." ”

Zhao Changqing didn't say much, and went to the old lady's courtyard again. When the old lady heard about the Zheng family, she recited the Buddha a few times and said, "Fortunately, people are safe." Instructed Liu Er to take the clothes, and Mrs. Zhao said, "Take another piece of Dayu and ask Changqing to bring the thick collar." You have to be careful about the wind and cold, Mrs. Zheng is old, so don't catch the wind anymore. He said to Zhao Changqing again, "You bring your clothes and bedding first, and I will ask the kitchen to boil a pot of hot millet porridge, make a few light side dishes, and send them to you in a while." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, and hurriedly went to the inn with clothes, bedding, and stoves.

Wang Laoshangshu has the habit of going out to walk and eat breakfast every morning, this fire is also big, and the stall where he eats breakfast is very close to the boundary of the fire, and he didn't eat it early, so he hurriedly took the car to take a look.

Pear also sells steamed buns nearby, and when he heard that the fire burned down half of the street, he asked the guy to look at the stall, and ran to take a look at it himself, and inquired about it for a day or two. The pears rushed back to the breakfast stall and said, "Don't sell anything except these guests." Half of Fuzi Street was burned, and many neighbors escaped with their lives and had nothing to eat, how can they survive on such a cold day! This bun won't be sold today, so let's push them all out and give them to the neighbors to eat. ”

At that moment, some people who ate breakfast praised, "Brother Zhao is really benevolent!" Someone else followed the echoed praise of the pear a few words, the pear arched his hand, and said modestly, "It's just what you can, it's not worth it." "Leave a stall to watch, and take a boy to push the bun to do good deeds.

When Wang Laoshangshu arrived at the place where the fire was on fire, he saw Zheng Yan and the prefect waiting at the scene of the fire, only to know that Zheng Yan's house had also been burned. Wang Laoshangshu asked how to settle the Zheng family's family, and Zheng said, "The mother of the family is temporarily staying in the inn, and Lao Lao is worried." ”

Wang Laoshang sighed, "How can you live in the inn on such a cold day?" I still have a few rooms in my house, so I might as well ask my ladies to stay there for the time being. ”

Zheng Yan sighed, "Tonight, I don't know how many people have lost their place to live, and my heart is like a knife. The adults are kind, and the lower officials have already asked people to find another place to live, and they will be able to move there in a few days. ”

Wang Laoshang knew that his temperament was not very tactful, this was the meaning of prevarication, and asked the prefect how to resettle the affected population, so he took the car back. After Wang Laoshangshu went home, he said to Mrs. Wang, "I don't know which bastard who has no king's law to do such an evil thing!" ”

Mrs. Wang asked, "Since Zheng Yushi's house has been burned, what about his daughters?" ”

"This Zheng Boyan is also a stone head, I originally wanted to invite his old lady and wife to live in our house, but he refused. Don't you suspect that this fire was set by the old man! ”

Old Mrs. Wang sighed and persuaded, "Our family and the Zheng family move around normally, and it is reasonable for Lord Zheng to refuse. Since the Zheng family was burned, it was better to send some things over, and the old lady of his family was also a little old. ”

Wang Laoshang said, "Look at the arrangement." ”

The servants and maids of the Wang family were so bright, not only did they send things properly, but they also came back with many inquiries, and said in 1510, "Mrs. Zheng is a little cold, and now she has asked the doctor to prescribe a prescription and drink medicine to rest." Mrs. Zheng's face was also a little haggard, and the eldest girl of the Zhao family was there, saying that she would take people home to recuperate when Mrs. Zheng had lost heat at night. Mrs. Zheng said thank the old lady for the things she gave, please don't worry about it, and when the family affairs are settled, she will come over to thank the old lady in person. ”

"The eldest girl of the Zhao family? Is it Changqing? Mrs. Wang also knew that Zheng Miaoying had a good relationship with Zhao Changqing, and Zheng Miaoying and Lu were still praisers of Zhao Changqing.

The daughter-in-law in charge smiled, "It's this Miss Zhao, the cousin of our third young grandmother's cousin." ”

Old Lady Wang nodded, "Got it, you can go." ”

Wang Laoshangshu asked, "What cousin of my cousin's family?" ”

Mrs. Wang said, "It is the eldest girl who saved Miss Song and promoted to a hundred households, the eldest girl of Zhao Baihu, and the child who married the Chu family before." ”

Wang Laoshangshu thought of Zhao Changqing and said, "Their family has a good relationship with the Zheng family?" Zheng Boyan has that temperament, and few people get along with him. ”

Mrs. Wang said, "Miss Zhao is friendly with the eldest girl of Zheng Yushi's family, this is the past after hearing the letter." ”

Wang Laoshangshu nodded his head slightly, and said approvingly, "A handkerchief between girls, Miss Zhao can personally go over to take care of it, it can be seen that it is indeed benevolent." ”

Mrs. Wang smiled, "Miss Zhao has long been a good girl, a few days ago, she was in time, and her clumsy brother and daughter-in-law also brought Ah Yu and Ah Fang over. ”

"If you have friends, it's good to have friends like this." Wang Lao Shangshu said.

Mrs. Wang talked about ancient times, "The year we just came back, a lantern tower was set up on the Shangyuan Festival, and Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Prefect invited me to go, didn't I go?" I wrote the sentence 'Justice is only white hair' on the pair hanging in your study, and many little girls came out right, but they were all unsatisfactory. Only Miss Zhao is the most accurate, and she is right with the sentence 'Spring breeze is not worldly'. She was only a teenager at the time. If you want me to say, she is a very spiritual girl, but this luck is a little worse. In the past, he was related to the Chu family, and whoever was not envious knew that the Chu family was bad. ”

Wang Laoshangshu brushed his beard and said, "This shows that Miss Zhao is lucky, if she marries into the Chu family early, she will be compensated for nothing." Then he asked, "Do you think this girl is good?" ”

Mrs. Wang said, "In addition to owing some money, it can be said that there are all four corners, especially the one that is generous and calm, which is very rare, and it is not inferior to the imperial capital." ”

Wang Laoshangshu pondered for a moment and asked, "The second pure brother is also seventeen, right?" ”

Mrs. Wang understood what her husband meant, but she was still a little hesitant and said, "I wonder if the second child and his daughter-in-law are willing?" I'm afraid that I will dislike the Zhao family's background, but it's a pity that I am a good girl. ”

Wang Lao Shangshu said, "Write a letter and ask, if you don't want to, it's a pure brother who is not blessed." ”

Mrs. Wang responded.

Zhao Changqing took the Zheng family to live at home, Mrs. Zheng lost her fever that day, and Mrs. Zheng fell ill again, but fortunately, Mr. Su took the pulse and used medicine, and there was the service of hot soup and hot dishes in the kitchen, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were safe in three or five days. Mrs. Zheng used to talk to Mrs. Zhao, and she was quite grateful in her words, "Friendship is seen in adversity." If it weren't for your family taking care of her, our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would still be at a loss. ”

Mrs. Zhao said, "By the way, it's just a hand." Lord Zheng's reputation is known to all the women who sit at home every day, not to mention, the girls of our two families are as good as sisters. Lord Zheng is a filial son, and he can only be an official with peace of mind unless you are good. ”

Old Madam Zheng sighed, "I didn't expect it again." In the past, although we have encountered difficulties in Jiangnan, we have never done this again. ”

"This kind of bad seed with thunder and thunder in the sky will never end well!"

The person who did this kind of unfortunate thing was none other than the prefect's brother-in-law, the guy who took one hundred taels to Chu Yu's yard and later sold six hundred taels to Zhao Changqing.

The reason why Zheng Yushi forced the prefect's brother-in-law to the point of jumping over the wall in a hurry was because Zheng Yushi had been secretly investigating the situation of the Chu family's real estate being sold cheaply. Anyway, the Chu family copied the house at the beginning, and Zheng Yushi didn't take a look at those antique artifacts and the like, and he didn't know how much oil and water was sucked away. However, the immovable property is recorded in the government. How could a house worth five hundred taels be sold for one hundred taels, and it was not someone else who sold it, it was your prefect's brother-in-law?

Of course, this house is just a drop in the bucket, and it also involves a lot of large real estate transactions, which is quite boring.

Zheng Yushi is a part-time detective, he bites and does not let go, he is an iron-faced and selfless person, except for the truth, oil and salt do not enter. The prefect's brother-in-law was afraid that his brother-in-law would be affected, so he thought that he would not stop doing it, so he simply burned the surnamed Zheng to death, and it was a hundred.

I don't want to burn too much, the fire takes advantage of the wind and burns straight to most of the street.

The prefect found his brother-in-law's head, and he was paralyzed.

Regardless of the affairs of the government for the time being, the iron-faced and selfless Lord Zheng has a good impression of the Zhao family, not only because Zhao Changqing is friendly with Zheng Miaoying, and the Zhao family has placed Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Zheng, but also because Zhao Yong saved Miss Song. This Song girl has a god-like father, Song Rong and Song Zixi, the household servants. Song Rong is good friends with Zheng Yan, but Zheng Yan travels all over the country, and his official position is low, so he can't be compared with Song Rong. However, friendship is friendship, Zheng Yan didn't say anything, he was very grateful to Zhao Yong for saving Song Rong's daughter, so he accepted the kindness of the Zhao family.

Now his mother and daughter-in-law are recuperating in Zhao's family, and although Zheng Yushi is busy with the case, he often sees Zhao Yong. Zhao Yong may not be as good as Zheng Yushi in terms of talent and knowledge, but he is naturally good-natured, and he is a martial artist, and he is very straightforward. The two of them are literate and martial, but they can talk about it unexpectedly.

Zheng Yushi lived in the East Wing for the time being, and also met Zhao Changning and Zhao Changyu, and felt that the Zhao family's tutor was not bad. Especially the most changed is the pear fruit brothers, the case of Xiao Pear Blossom, Zheng Yushi knew it clearly, not for anything else, Zhao Changqing and Zheng Miaoying are familiar with each other, and there is no less curve to save the country to the Zheng family to talk about how difficult it was when Xiao Pear Blossom was young, how to force it and so on.

However, in Zheng Yushi's opinion, no matter how forced he is, he can slash the lives of his father and uncle, and Xiao Lihuaer herself is by no means a good type. When he saw the pear, Zheng Yushi was taken aback and said, "Aren't you the kid who gave away buns for free?" Knowing that Pear was actually Little Pear Blossom's younger brother, Zheng Yushi also had to sigh secretly, "This pair of sisters and brothers is very different and cannot be compared".

What kind of person Zhao Lizi is, this kid went out to beg for a living when he was young, and he was the most observant, and when he saw Zheng Yushi's appearance, he could guess five or six out of ten. However, Lizi did not defend her sister's matter, but took the opportunity to say, "The boy often sells steamed buns there to make a living, and he is often taken care of by his neighbors." The neighbors suffered from this great disaster, and even if the kid was limited, if he sat idly by, he would have no conscience. ”

Zheng Yushi immediately looked at Zhao Lizi with admiration, and encouraged him a few words, which was another unexpected joy.
