The two errand officers entered the door with the big red list, and when they saw Zhou Hongwen, they laughed: "Master Zhou is very happy." ”

"Thank you, thank you." Zhou Hongwen also replied with a salute, and said with a virtual hand: "Two people in the house, please." ”

When I entered the house, a girl had already served tea, and Zhou Hongwen asked someone to bring two strings of copper coins and distribute them to the two servants: "The weather is so hot, and there are two laborers to go this way, these two are also my thoughts, the two of them go back to buy some fruits to eat, all of them should quench their thirst." ”

Today's weather is really hot, and the two errand officers are really tired and thirsty when they come, so they drank a bowl of tea first, and they were naturally happy to see the money, and they were not polite at the moment, so they all took it and put it in their sleeves and hid it: "Master Zhou is polite." ”

An errand officer said with a smile: "We have a champion in Lotus Town, and the people in the town feel that there is brilliance on their faces, and Master Zhou is the brother-in-law of the champion master, and he has always been very literate, I can't say that you will be a champion in the future, and when you pass the exam, we have congratulated you on it, and maybe how many people envy it." ”

"It's a prize." The errand officer's words were really good, but Zhou Hongwen, who praised him, felt quite embarrassed, his face was red at that time, and he made a series of gestures: "It is already a blessing to be able to be admitted to fame, where do you dare to think about any champion." ”

Another errand officer also smiled: "This is not necessarily, I can't say that I will really pass the exam, and at that time, the people in our town will be decently tight wherever they go." ”

Zhou Hongwen lowered his head: "If the two of you continue to boast, I won't have the face to see anyone." ”

"Huh." The two servants smiled, buried their heads in tea again, and after drinking, they said: "Master Zhou is now considered to be famous, so it is better to go to the yamen to register earlier, and you will not have any labor in the future." You don't have to pay rent for a lot of land, what a good thing. ”

"Yes, yes, register as soon as possible." Zhou Hongwen responded again and again.

The two messengers sat for a while and then got up to say goodbye, Zhou Hongwen sent them out of the door, and called an ox cart to send the two back, and pushed them back. In the end, Zhou Hongwen paid the fare.

Two officers are to be sent away. Zhou Hongwen discussed with Jin Zhi to go to Fucheng to rent a house to live in for the autumn season.

Qi Jinzhi is happy, but Zhou Shuying is used to living in Qijiazhuang. A little reluctant to move the nest, Qi Jinzhi persuaded them for a long time before reluctantly agreeing to go to Zhenting Mansion with them.

This Qi Jinzhi was looking for someone to send a letter to Qi Jing, and Zhou Hongwen and Zhou Shuying packed up and prepared to go to Zhenting Mansion.

In addition to Lotus Town, the Hongwen family moved last week. The old Niu and his family in Chang'an City also prepared their bags and looked for a dart team to go to Suzhou.

Qi Laoniu and his family were anxious, and they didn't pack much things. I only brought some silver, clothes and some medicinal herbs, and the like, all of which added up to only two or three burdens, which looked really simple.

When they were leaving, several girls from the Qi family came to say goodbye. In the meantime, there is no need to elaborate on the reluctance to say goodbye, but although the Qi Gu family is reluctant to give up a few girls, they think that the daughter-in-law of Suzhou is pregnant with Liujia and no one takes care of her. I can only say goodbye to a few girls.

Waiting to sit in the carriage of the dart game, Qi Gu couldn't stop looking through the window. When he couldn't see the figures of Yinzhu from a distance, Qi Gu turned his head and sat down to wipe his tears.

Qi Laoniu was a little overwhelmed, threw a handkerchief and said: "Don't get rid of those golden beans, you still cry when you are old, and you are not afraid of people's jokes." ”

Qi Gu was anxious when he heard this, so he threw the handkerchief and went to twist Qi Lao Niu's ears: "What do you say about the old immortal, I don't want to let my girl go, the old lady can't even cry, who dares to laugh, see if the old lady doesn't break his legs." ”

Qi Gu's hand was very strong, and Qi Laoniu's ears hurt when he twisted it, so he hid and begged for mercy, and it took a while for Qi Gu to let go.

After a long period of beating and scolding, Qi Gu's was no longer sad, and he talked with Qi Laoniu about the scenery on the side of the road with great interest, and after talking for a while, looking at the two girls sitting in the corner, Qi Gu's glanced over: "If you want to laugh, laugh, what do you do secretly." ”

Qi Laoniu and his family were in a hurry, and they didn't look at the letter sent by Qi Jinzhi, but Yinzhu accepted the letter, and saw that it was written that Zhou Hongwen was a talent in the examination, and he was also very happy for Qi Jinzhi.

After rejoicing, Yinzhu put the letter away, thinking about going to Xie's house to talk to Qi Tongsuo about this matter, she accepted the letter, and before she left, she saw Xiao Zhi enter the house with a body full of anger.

Yinzhu saw that he knew that he was not good, so he quickly got up, first helped Xiao Zhi take off his clothes outside, and then asked the girl to fetch water to serve Xiao Zhi to wash, and after washing, he handed him a cool handkerchief to wipe his face, and cleaned up, Xiao Zhi changed into a loose tulle regular clothes, and the heat brought by the outside finally dissipated.

He turned around and sat down in a rocking chair next to him, and asked the girl to bring him a bowl of iced sour plum soup.

Yinzhu took a few steps over and said with a smile: "Although it is hot today, but there is no heat that can't stand it, eating ice sour plum soup will inevitably be unbearable, according to me, it is better to take the rose brine and drink some water, it is better than that, and quench your thirst without hurting your stomach." ”

Xiao Zhi frowned, and said in a muffled voice: "It's up to you." ”

Yinzhu didn't ask the girl to do anything, and personally took the rose brine and mixed it with some warm water for Xiao Zhi to bring over.

Xiao Zhi drank a large bowl of water in one gulp before he breathed a sigh of relief, and Yinzhu saw that he was not so angry, so he asked, "What's wrong with you today?" Whoever makes you angry, look at what has become of it. ”

Xiao Zhi sighed, closed his eyes slightly, leaned back on the rocking chair and said lightly: "What can I be angry about?" Nothing more than ...... His Majesty actually ordered to call the magistrates all over the country to search for strange stones, and ordered every place to enter a strange stone, if it is good, but also to be reborn and rewarded, the holy decree will be issued, and many Hanlin in our Hanlin Academy jointly wrote to ask His Majesty to take back his fame, don't work so hard and hurt the people and money, but His Majesty Xià actually called us to criticize it, and His Majesty's behavior is really chilling. ”

After listening to Xiao Zhi, Yinzhu raised his long eyebrows, looking powerful: "Your Majesty is becoming more and more unlike, I was making trouble repairing the palace and repairing the garden before, and now I actually called the place to pay tribute to the strange stones, isn't this not a way for the people to live." ”

"Not really." Xiao Zhi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "We all grew up in the people, and the people also know the sufferings of the people, and there is no toss for this and that, and those magistrates are all thinking of scraping the ground, and now that they have the will of His Majesty, it is not even more necessary to change the toss of the law, you see, for this strange stone, I don't know how many people have been ruined and their wives have been separated." ”

"How I didn't know this." Yinzhu also followed Xiao Zhi to worry: "I'm not a noble girl who grew up in the courtyard of the deep house, I've seen a lot of things like this." ”

"yes, I've seen a lot." Xiao Zhi became more and more sad: "It's useless to hate me, and I can't persuade His Majesty to change his mind." ”

"Modo thought." Yinzhu took Xiao Zhi's hand and persuaded: "Your Majesty makes a mistake, just be a courtier's dedicated persuasion, if you really can't persuade it, don't be hard-hitting, you have to make that thing of death, but you will die unsafely, and you will make the king fall into the name of the king, it is better to keep a useful body and do more things for the people, as long as you do your best to have a clear conscience." ”

Xiao Zhi understood Yinzhu's thoughts, and patted her hand: "I know that you are worried that I will do irreparable things on impulse, don't worry, I won't be like that, although I am angry at His Majesty's behavior, I also feel sorry for the people and want to suffer, but I will not dissuade His Majesty from wanting to die for this, I still have to keep this life to live with you, I don't grow old with you, I have to take care of myself." ”

Yinzhu smiled when he heard this, and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it's very deserved, we are not cowardly and incompetent, nor are we cowardly and fearful, but can clearly distinguish the interests and disadvantages, although we have a family and a country in our hearts, we must also have parents, wives and children." ”

Seeing that Xiao Zhi didn't speak, Yinzhu continued to smile: "In the future, we will live a good life, if we have the spare strength, do more good deeds, and try our best to help the people in distress." ”

Xiao Zhi took Yinzhu's hand and was silent for a while, and then opened his eyes suddenly: "Lady, if yes, if I want to be released, how will you stay?" ”

"Outside?" Yinzhu was taken aback: "How do you think about letting it out?" ”

Xiao Zhi smiled bitterly: "After being an official for so many days, the scholarly spirit in my chest has not been smoothed out, and this time I almost came up to fight for reason, fortunately, I thought that the lady didn't do such a thing, but this time I didn't come out, in case I go back to Majesty, how can I not control myself?" ”

Yinzhu was silent when he heard this.

Xiao Zhi continued: "I let it out, firstly, to protect myself, and secondly, I also think that as a parent official, I can at least protect the people, which is much better than staying in Chang'an and staring at everything." ”

Yinzhu lowered his head and thought for a long time, then raised his head and smiled: "Xianggong has the final say, as long as you ask me to follow you, I can go anywhere, don't say that I will be released, even if it is the end of the world, I will follow." ”

"Lady." Xiao Zhiting's heart was agitated, and he was moved for a while, and held Yinzhu's hand tightly: "If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for." ”

Yinzhu pursed his lips and smiled: "Even if you know that I am good, you must be kind to me in the future." ”

"Definitely, if I can't stand the lady, call me a ...... of heaven" Xiao Zhi didn't finish speaking, so he asked Yinzhu to cover his mouth: "Don't say these frustrating words, you tell me where you want to put it out first?" ”

"Shuzhou." Xiao Zhi spit out two words.

"Shuzhou?" Yinzhu repeated: "That's not a good place, why do you want to go there?" ”

Xiao Zhi smiled: "It is said that Shuzhou is poor and the mountains and rivers are bad, I look good, Shuzhou has many mountains and rivers and the four seasons are like spring, the climate is very good, if it is well governed, it may become the land of fish and rice, I want to try my best, so as to live up to the hard work of reading so many years." ”

"Since you've made a decision, I'll just follow it." Yinzhu didn't object, smiled and nodded in agreement: "You want to go to the ministry for activities, I've been tidying up these days." ”

Speaking of this, Yinzhu sighed: "The fourth and sixth children went to Suzhou, the eldest sister is in Zhenting, let's go to Shuzhou again, there are fewer and fewer people in our family in Chang'an City, and in the future, no one may want to go out." ”

Before she could sigh here, she heard a rough voice: "Second sister, second brother-in-law." ”

The sound has not fallen, and when I look at it, it turns out to be Lu Shan, the son-in-law of the fifth child. (To be continued.) )
