"You bring so many precious medicinal herbs, don't you have the pass certificate?"

"The voucher is in the hands of our shopkeeper, and when we were sent out of Youxi County, the shopkeeper went back, and the voucher was also taken away by him."

"No, the voucher should be with the goods, how can the two be separated? If you have a certificate, go and get it, and give you five days, if you can't get it, your batch of medicinal materials will be confiscated. ”

"Yes, thank you, sir!"

Lu Laosan knelt down and thanked him, and then quickly left the Yamen.

"My lord, will he run away and not come back?" An errand officer asked.

"What are you running, don't you want so many medicinal materials in the Inspection Division?"

After Yang Congyi finished speaking, he raised his legs and left, and went straight to the back office.

This kind of thing is not unseen before, the inspection department in order to blackmail people money, will always find some loopholes in the businessman, think of the trouble directly give some benefits on the matter, this time it is estimated that the people of the inspection department feel that the other party's business is very big, so they want to ask for more benefits, they can't talk about it, they detain people and beat people, and they can't be good, so they find a reason to push it to the general judgment yamen.

The intellectuals are old, and they basically don't take care of things, and they don't like to take care of things anymore, so in the three counties under the jurisdiction of the Xinghua Army, if there are any slightly tricky things, they will all be pushed to the general judgment yamen, which can make Yang Congyi's general judgment toss enough.

In terms of authority, the general judgment is the second largest official of the military state government in addition to the military governor, the prefecture, and the government affairs, and is the central official of the imperial court stationed in the local area to supervise the local officials and officials.

In terms of official positions, the governor, the army or the prefect are two or three levels higher than the general judgment, but the general judgment represents the central supervision of the locality, and has the right to directly write to the emperor, while the general governor and the army are not good, they can only speak to the chief official of the road, and under special circumstances, they can cross the yamen of the road to reach the six departments, but they can only reach the six departments.

Due to the great power of the general judgment, it is the same as the state government yamen, and there is also an independent yamen.

Yang Congyi did not have a fixed place, and Qingchen also moved back and forth, from Quanzhou to Lin'an, from Lin'an to Wuzhou, and from Wuzhou back to Lin'an, and then from Lin'an to Xinghua, each place did not live for a long time, let alone make sisters, and even the opportunity to meet outsiders was rare.

But when she came to Xinghua, it was different, Yang Congyi was the new general judge, and she was the biggest official in the Xinghua Army except for the Zhijun, she was the wife of the general judge, so naturally some people paid attention to it, and there were not a few people who made friends.

When she first came to Xinghua, she rarely went out as soon as she lived in the backyard of the Tongju Yamen, and others couldn't see it, and it was even more impossible to make friends.

The first time they met, they didn't understand each other, and they didn't know what to say, the little concubine was beautiful and good at playing the piano, so she put on a performance, and then asked Qingchen if she had talent.

Qingchen wanted to say something, but he was worried that he would be compared to the other party, and it would not sound good to spread out, so he practiced a set of swordsmanship.

I didn't want the concubine to see it, but she was very happy, calling Qingchen a chivalrous woman, and even called her sister, which was very affectionate.

Since then, she has been running to the backyard of the Tongju Yamen every once in a while, and sometimes she will bring one or two of her sisters to come, so that Qingchen, who originally didn't know how to pass the time, spent a lot of boring time.

At the same time, the fame of Mrs. Tongju gradually spread among the families of the official eunuchs of Putian County and the extremely boring rich wives and concubines of the wealthy gentry, and from time to time someone would invite Qingchen to drink tea, enjoy flowers, listen to music, go on a trip, talk about private secrets, and life experience, which is also a common thing.

In short, Qingchen's life in Xinghua is much easier and more interesting than Yang Congyi.

But after spending a lot of time with other women, she also has a big problem, that is, they always ask about her privacy.

One of the most headaches for her is that she has not been able to add children so far, some people have to ask every time they meet, is there good news recently?

seems to care, but in fact, it is just to watch the excitement and want to block her, and even jealous that she has no family background, but she can become a judge, and the most jealous thing for some people is that she has been married for five or six years without children, but she is still not divorced, which makes it difficult for some people to understand and accept.

In this case, she can still treat it calmly at first, and when she is asked more times, every time she goes out, she is not happy, so she doesn't want to go out again, only those who really care about her are invited, she will go out once in a while, or ask them to come to the house, the relationship is average, and she will directly shirk it, unlike before, which family member invites her to go.

Regarding the problem that she has not been able to conceive a child, for more than a year, many of her sisters have given her a lot of ideas, whether it is the secret recipe of ancient medicine or the secret technique in the room, she tried each one very carefully, but the result is still a flat lower abdomen, without any movement.

She is not young anymore, there are several women who are about the same age as her, the first child is almost ten years old, in a few years, those who should be married will be married, those who should be married will be married, the two are compared, how can Qingchen not be in a hurry?

Although the husband didn't say anything, as a lady and the head of the family, she had to think about the Yang family, and it was absolutely impossible to have no heirs.

Qingchen wanted to have a child, thinking about leaving Yang Congyi behind, but her sisters gave her ideas, but they were worried that if this continued, her position as the general judge would be unstable, and she would probably be divorced, or Lord Yang would marry another lady.

The relationship between the two is very good, the divorce may not be very big, but the possibility of marrying another is very great, those sisters told her as a person who came over, if she can't give birth to a child, Lord Yang marries another, once the second lady who marries later gives birth to a son, her status as the eldest lady in the family will decline rapidly.

After some analysis, the best advice for Qingchen is to quickly give Lord Yang a concubine, and when she gives birth to a son, she will directly inherit it to her name, so that her position in the family will be stable.

In addition, they also recommended Qingchen an excellent candidate for concubine.

Qingchen didn't understand these messy things, since what they said was reasonable, whether it was for the Yang family or for herself, she could only nod her head in agreement.

A group of women's family members, talking and laughing, decided the family affairs of Yang Congyi and Qingchen, just waiting for her to find an opportunity to confess to her husband.

Let her husband take a concubine, Qingchen is unwilling in her heart, even if it is just to give birth to a child, she also wants to give birth to herself, how can her own child be better?

Two months have passed since her sisters made up her mind, and she still hasn't acted, still fantasizing, what if she gets pregnant?

She procrastinated for a long time, and all the sisters who cared about her were anxious, so they directly set a time limit for her, and if she couldn't conceive a child within two months, she wouldn't insist, and immediately give Lord Yang a concubine, the sooner the better, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

Because the news that Lord Yang has been married for many years and still has no queen has already spread in Xinghua, I don't know how many people are beating Lord Yang's idea and want to marry the daughter in the boudoir to be married into the Yang Mansion.

Qingchen had actually heard this kind of rumor a long time ago, but Yang Congyi had told her a long time ago that even if she wanted to marry again in the future, she would first ask for her consent, and if she didn't agree, she wouldn't marry. So far, her husband has not talked about any other women in front of her, let alone remarried, even so, she is still very worried, because she knows very well that if there are no children, it will be a matter of time before she remarries, and as the head of the family, she can't let the Yang family have no queen!

It's been a month since the time limit agreed by the sisters for her, and her body still hasn't moved at all, and it's really no good to drag it out any longer.

As soon as Yang Congyi returned to the inner courtyard of the back office, he saw that the master and servant of Qingchen were chatting about something, and when he saw the appearance of the two, he knew that it should be a private relationship between women, so he slowed down his pace and coughed dryly, and then said: "Madame didn't go out today?" ”

When Qingchen heard this, he immediately looked up at Yang Congyi and said with a smile: "I went out for an hour or two, drank tea with them, and chatted for a while before coming back." It was too hot, and if it weren't for the fact that the sisters had made several appointments and refused again, I wouldn't have wanted to move. ”

After speaking, he immediately asked, "Is my husband busy these days?" ”

"The big things that should be busy, the first few months have been dealt with almost enough, and when the rainy season comes, it will be necessary to prevent wind and flood in the future, and it is estimated that there are a lot of things. But it shouldn't be a big deal in the month. ”

Yang Congyi had already walked to Qingchen's master and servant as he spoke, and sat down with Qingchen one after another.

"Husband, since there is no major event in the Yamen month, let's do some family affairs first."

As soon as Qingchen's voice fell, Lian'er, who was standing beside her, suddenly lowered her head deeply, her eyes didn't dare to look at people, and at the same time, her face was flushed, from her cheeks and ears to her neck.

Yang Congyi's attention was on Qingchen who was speaking, and naturally he couldn't notice the strangeness of other people, and after listening to his wife's words, he couldn't help asking, "Family affairs?" What family matters are there to do, how do I not know? ”

Qingchen originally decided to say it, but when he heard his husband ask, he didn't know how to speak, and he didn't say anything, so he could only say: "Forget it, it's not a big deal, I'll tell you later." The husband is already hungry in the front office, the meal should be ready, let's eat first. ”

She forcibly turned the conversation away, let's find another opportunity, it doesn't seem appropriate to say it now.

Yang Congyi no longer asked, the affairs of the family are generally in charge of Qingchen, and he is too lazy to worry about it, what should she do, she can do it herself, she really wants him to help, she will not say it.

That night, after another cloud and rain, Qingchen provoked the conversation again, but in the end he still failed to say what he wanted to give his husband a concubine.

Let's wait for a month, both of them are working hard, and maybe there will be good news next month.
