Chapter 217: Are You a Corrupt Official?

Qiao Zhen glanced at Grandpa Guo, then stepped forward and opened the box to take a look, inside was a complete set of jade ornaments, which looked very good, very exquisite, and the color was very good, she liked it very much, but she didn't understand jade, and she couldn't see if it was excellent, but it looked good.

"Grandpa Guo, what is this?" Qiao Zhen asked puzzledly, is this a meeting gift for himself? It seems to be full of precious.

"This is the ancestral heirloom of my Chen family, only the eldest daughter-in-law, I gave this to Xuan'er's mother-in-law, I took it back after she died, and did not give it to Mrs., now it's time to pass it on to you, and you will pass it on to the eldest daughter-in-law of our Chen family in the future." Zhen Guogong explained the origin of the jade ornament with a straight face.

Qiao Zhen was stunned, such an important thing was given to himself like this, is this an endorsement of himself? I haven't entered Chen's house yet, so I want to hand it over to my future daughter-in-law. This is too hasty, shouldn't it be after you pass the door, observe yourself for a while, and then find a major festival and give it to yourself?

"Grandpa Guo, the woman hasn't married yet, Grandpa Guo should take it first." Qiao Zhen didn't want to accept it, this thing was too valuable, she was afraid of damage, so sorry for others.

"Take it, it'll be yours sooner or later. Madame, she has been thinking about it for half her life, and now she can rest assured and will not make up her mind again. ”

Zhen Guogong's words made Qiao Zhen sigh, Mrs. Yun is also a tragedy, she robbed her brother-in-law and killed her eldest sister, but what did she get? How can she fight with a dead man, a dead, a living person who will only remember her good. She can't fight.

"Then thank you, Grandpa Guo." Qiaozhen put it away, since it was hers sooner or later, she would keep it, anyway, she was just a custodian, and she would pass it on in the future.

"There are 100,000 taels of silver tickets at the bottom of the box. You take it too. ”

Zhen Guogong's words made Qiaozhen's hand holding the box tremble, and he almost missed hitting the box. 100,000 taels, she heard it right.

"Grandpa Guo, what are you doing with so much silver?" Qiaozhen is incomplete. She can't make that much in her life, it's like in a dream.

"Little family, haven't you heard of the Qing Governor's Mansion for three years, 100,000 snowflakes of silver?" Zhen Guogong glanced at Qiao Zhen funny, this woman felt that 100,000 taels was very hot, her trembling just now, she saw it in her eyes.

"Grandpa Guo is not a corrupt official, right?" Qiaozhen wanted to slap himself after asking, why was he so calm. How can I ask if my future father-in-law is a corrupt official.

"Humph!" Zhen Guogong snorted, looking at Qiao Zhen's eyes and quite helpless, this girl dared to say anything, and even asked herself if she was greedy. But in this way, it can also be seen that this girl is not greedy for money. It's not scheming, otherwise she wouldn't be like this.

"Of course, the old man is not a corrupt official. This life is a battle. There are countless battles large and small, and every time the battle is over, the saint will always reward something, although the original general's mansion also has a lot of expenses, but the general's mansion also has a business, it is impossible to sit and eat empty, and there is filial piety in peacetime. As long as it is not, the old man also accepts it. So the old man still had some silver in his hands. Not only these, but also antique calligraphy and paintings. Wait until the time I will let someone transport some to you, although Xuan'er is not in the capital, but he can't lose him, he gave 50,000 taels, the expenses are enough, Xuan'er also has his own livelihood, he is not short of money, this 100,000 taels is for you to press the box, in case there is something to solve the urgent need. Zhen Guogong still explained to Qiaozhen clearly, afraid that she would misunderstand that she was a corrupt official.

"Oh, I also think that Grandpa Guo is not, the woman understands, but this?" Qiaozhen groaned, did she accept it? To be honest, the 100,000 taels of silver tickets are a number for her, too much, she has no concept of more, and it is not as good as a few hundred taels of silver.

Besides, she doesn't have much demand for silver, more and more, less and less, and if there is no money, she won't spend it, anyway, she can get by, and the income from the earthen kiln is enough for her expenses, and she is useless if she has more, so she can't sleep with the silver.

"What to hesitate about! You haven't always been generous and informal, why are you hypocritical now. This is not for you to squander, but for my future grandchildren and granddaughters. You just keep it for them, and you have to pay interest when you spend it, and you can add it to it as much as you spend. Zhen Guogong saw Qiaozhen's hesitation and made an excuse for her.

"Then thank you, Grandpa Guo." Qiaozhen had to put it away, she knew that Grandpa Guo didn't really let her spend it, but she really didn't plan to use it, she pressed it at the bottom of the box, but she had to find someone to talk to Chen Xuanyu about it, and she couldn't hide it from him.

"Okay, I'll leave tomorrow, you woman has nothing to give me, go, make me a meal, count your filial piety." Zhen Guogong waved his hand.

"You always treat folk women as cooks." Qiao Zhen muttered, she now understands Zhen Guogong's temperament a little.

"What, there are many people who want to be the old man's cook, and the old man is still unwilling, let you do it, this is your blessing." Zhen Guogong glared.

"Yes, yes, it's the blessing of the people's women, the people's women are really a blessing, when you are old, come to the town to care for the elderly, and the women will make it for you every day." Qiao Zhen smiled.

"I'll talk about it later, what are you talking about, don't go quickly." Although Zhen Guogong said harshly, warmth flashed in his eyes, and when he was old, he couldn't fight, and it was a good idea to come to his son to support the elderly.

Qiao Zhen went down, used his skills to prepare a few dishes of meat for Zhen Guogong, Chen Xuanyu also came back at noon, he was stunned when he looked at Qiao Zhen, he didn't know that his father invited Qiao Zhen over, he was also going to wait for his father to leave tomorrow, and secretly went to find Qiao Zhen at night, but he didn't expect to meet him as soon as he came back, and Qiao Zhen also went down to the kitchen to prepare meals for them.

Seeing his son staring at the woman without turning his eyes, Zhen Guogong coughed and said, "You can sit down too." ”

Qiao Zhen smiled, this is a recognition of herself, equal treatment, she was not polite, and sat down.

Seeing that Qiaozhen's meat dishes were very fragrant, without the slightest appearance of other women, Zhen Guogong's eyes widened, she and his wife were two completely different.

Eating at the same table with her wife, she doesn't look at meat dishes, some are meat and vegetarian combinations, she picks out the meat, and lets her eat as much as she wants, she picks up some meat stars, frowns and swallows, as if eating poison, and her meal is very small. When she cooks a big table of dishes, she eats a little bit, like cat food.

But what about this woman, you see what she eats, it's braised pork, it's not thin, it's fat, she puts the meat in her mouth and eats it very fragrant, she eats a lot of vegetables, and she also eats a bowl of noodles, but she still looks like she can't get enough, this, what kind of stomach is this. Is this still a woman!

"Xuan'er, you can eat together in the future." Zhen Guogong said.

Chen Xuanyu smiled, last time he saw the amount of food this woman, it was definitely not less than what he ate, and she didn't pick it, she could eat anything.

"Hey, why are you still eating?" Zhen Guogong saw that Qiaozhen hadn't put down his chopsticks yet, and was still eating, so he couldn't help but ask.

"What? Can't eat it? Qiao Zhen innocently asked, she hasn't eaten enough.

"Yes, but you have this amount of food..."Zhen Guogong was speechless, how could he not let people eat, wasn't he abusing his daughter-in-law when he said it? The food is not full.

"It's okay, the amount of food of the people's women is average, the mothers and sisters-in-law of the people's women eat more than the people's women, Zhuangzi, I am not idle all day long, so I eat more, don't laugh at the grandfather of the country." Qiao Zhen said don't joke in his mouth, but his subordinates don't stop, and the chopsticks continue to eat, and it's a waste if you don't eat.

"Okay, watching you eat like this, I also feel fragrant, I have an appetite, come, eat, I have to finish eating on the plate." Zhen Guogong became interested and ate it in a big gulp.

In the end, the three of them didn't eat it completely, just kidding, they really did seven or eight things, and if they really finished eating, they would probably have to die.

Looking at the rest of the food on the table, the three of them hiccuped and couldn't help laughing, and the unhappiness in their hearts was washed away a lot.

After another cup of tea, Qiaozhen went back in the carriage, and when he left, Chen Xuanyu sent her off and secretly told her that he would see her tomorrow night, and then without waiting for Qiaozhen to answer, he ordered the carriage to leave.

Qiaozhen returned to the door of the house, and did not let the carriage turn back immediately, she entered the house, found some specialties, and then put them on the carriage, which was considered to be brought back to the capital for Zhenguo Gong.

She told the Wang family about the situation in the town this time, but she didn't say anything about the jade ornaments and silver tickets, not to prevent the Wang family, but to think that the matter was very important, and the fewer people who knew it, the better, if she told her father and mother, it is estimated that they should not be able to sleep when it is dark, or only she knows.

Qiaozhen took the time to go to the earthen kiln and hid the box inside, the earthen kiln she could control, there was a parallel hidden space, and she would not be discovered if she hid it. No one can steal it.

She didn't do this because she couldn't trust the people who lived in her own house, but because she was afraid that there would be a case, in case someone else entered the house, and she would take it away, and the gain would outweigh the loss.

On the second day, Qiaozhen did not go to the town to see off, because it was not appropriate for her to go, she spent the day peacefully at home, and at night, the family fell asleep, and Qiaozhen went down to the sweet potato cellar.

The sweet potato cellar was empty, Chen Xuanyu hadn't come yet, the sweet potato cellar was very dark, but Qiaozhen was not afraid, she sat on the ground, recalling everything that happened.

Suddenly she heard a noise, but she didn't move, she still sat down.

A person came down from the mouth of the sweet potato cellar quickly, he looked at it in the dark, there was no one, he was puzzled, and then bent down to the hole.

Watching him search carefully, Qiao Zhen snorted and laughed.

"You're here, and you don't say anything, I've been looking for a long time, you want to scare me to death." Chen Xuanyu also laughed, this woman is really interesting.

"Hehe, I see what you're looking for, so I'm silent." Qiao Zhen replied.

Chen Xuanyu wasn't really weird Qiaozhen, he saw Qiaozhen's location clearly, and also sat down. (To be continued......)
