Chapter 248: Regret for a lifetime

In Su Xuping's study, it was originally a place where Su Xuping used to handle official business. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is a matter of importance, and under normal circumstances, even his wife rarely goes to the study.

But at this time, there were two people sitting in the study, one of them was Su Xuping, and sitting opposite him was a thirty-seven or eighteen person, with an elegant face and a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth all the time.

Facing Su Xuping, there was obvious respect in his demeanor.

At this time, Su Xuping's brows furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, Su Xuping sighed and raised his head: "Zijing, you are going to Yangcheng, thousands of miles away, but be careful, after all, it is not the capital, your relatives and friends are mostly in Beijing, if there is any emergency, I can't take care of it." ”

The person known as Zijing said with a smile: "The student knows that the teacher is talking about the Yangcheng salt merchants, and the Yangcheng salt merchants have been in trouble for a long time, and the situation is complicated, but the teacher is afraid that the students will wade into this troubled water?" But since it is the Lu of the food king, it is inevitable to share the worries of the king, since I am the prefect of Yangcheng, no matter how muddy the water is, I have to go on a trip. ”

"Just do your best, you don't know that the prefect of Yangcheng before you, even if he wanted to rectify the problem of salt merchants, but during the period, the interests were rampant, and most of them were unable to find out the case, and they also put their lives on the line."

Su Xuping's gaze was cloudy, there was no focus between his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Haha, what kind of person are you Ji Su, these salt merchants rely on the profits of the state's special permission to operate the salt industry, wantonly loot money, and also sell illegal salt, causing the people who really need salt to not eat salt, but they also feed a group of foreign thieves, these people deserve to die."

"The matter of the salt industry is deep, this is a well-known thing, but even if they are powerful, I don't believe that they will have no handle, I will go to Yangcheng, I will definitely secretly visit the local salt gang, collect evidence of their crime of selling illegal salt, and I must bring these corrupt officials to justice."

Ji Su's gaze showed a resolute gaze, and the words he said were categorical.

On the other side, Su Xuping was a little crying and laughing, he knew that his student's temperament was very strong, this temperament seemed very good to him, and it was very similar to himself.

But how did he know how deep the salt merchant's water was, and how many interests were involved during this period?

The imperial court doesn't know how many times it has sent people to thoroughly investigate the matter of Yangcheng's salt industry, and it doesn't know how many Yangcheng prefects have been beheaded, this situation is not the same?

Every time the imperial court wants to make drastic reforms, there will be people who will obstruct it, the best result is that nothing happens, if it is a little worse, then those who mention the reform are the killing, the depreciation, after each failure, it means the loss of a group of clean officials, and the power of the salt merchants is getting bigger and bigger.

If you want to turn the tide alone, it is simply difficult.

It's just that if he says something now, the other party probably won't be able to listen to it, so Su Xuping can't say anything, "Zijing, it's naturally good for you to have such thoughts, but don't be reckless, you have to think about the consequences of everything and do what you can, so as not to worry about relatives and friends in the capital." ”

"What the teacher said is very true, Zijing must remember it." Ji Su lowered his head and said.

Su Xuping thought about it, and shook his head helplessly and laughed: "You're going to leave in two days, okay, don't mention these troublesome things, by the way, I heard that you are coming, your master has prepared a lot of dishes waiting for you, look at it now, it is estimated that it should be done, don't rush to leave first, stay and have a meal together later." ”

"No...... Cannot! Ji Su was shocked, and his hand shook in a hurry, "Zijing still has some things to deal with, so he will leave first, and wait until the next time he returns to the capital to visit his teacher." ”

Thinking of the dishes made by Shi Niang, Ji Su's heart was tumbling, this was not excited, but because there was a great shadow of these.

Shi Niang is gentle, and she is the real lady of the house, but if you talk about cooking, it is also the level of everyone's lady, and she has nine out of ten tricks...... Ignorant.

It may even surpass this level, but if it is divided according to the level, the proper dark cuisine, I don't know how the master can endure it for so many decades.

At this point, Ji Su is extremely admired. But admiration is admiration, and you won't do it yourself, especially when it's critical, a decision can kill you.

Although I heard that the teacher recently accepted a woman from a Qinglou as her granddaughter, presumably this woman can't cook.

Therefore, since the teacher is good at this bite, he will not win the love of others, so let the teacher enjoy the delicious food by himself. So Ji Su hurriedly submitted his resignation.

"Alas, don't, it's hard to come back, why don't you stay at home for a meal and then leave? Your lady has recently developed several new dishes, and it would be a shame if you didn't try them! ”

If you don't eat it, you will regret it for a while, and if you eat it, you will regret it for a lifetime, Ji Su said secretly in his heart, hurriedly waved his hand, and put on a posture of not eating to death.

"Still no, I've already eaten it, so let's wait until next time...... It's so fragrant, what is this? ”

At this time, suddenly a burst of fragrance came from outside the study, so Su Xuping's house was very small, and even a stir-fry and the fragrance of vegetables could waft to the study.

If the food is fragrant enough, it is really incomprehensible how the people in the study should handle official business.

Of course, I don't know whether to rejoice or say that unfortunately, in the so many years that Su Xuping has been handling official business, he has never encountered such troubles!

Ji Su sucked in violently with his nose, this smell, he had never smelled it, the smell of meat in the air was diffuse, and he had never smelled this smell even when he was in the restaurant, could it be that it was really the granddaughter who was newly recognized by his mentor recently?

What a blessing! No, you have to stay and taste it anyway, otherwise it would be a pity.

"Ahem, teacher, the student hasn't seen the teacher for a long time, and he misses it a lot, presumably the teacher has already cooked the meal, why don't we just talk while eating?"

"Haha, that's so good, I'll just say that your master has recently researched a few very good dishes, you still don't believe it, do you believe it this time?"

"I believe it, my mother's cooking skills have really improved, and it is not inferior to the chefs in the capital!"

Ji Su said without changing his face, but he didn't believe it at all in his heart.

And Su Xuping's side also knew in his heart that his own students, how could they not know the other party's careful thoughts, but Su Xuping himself muttered in his heart, this is definitely not a dish made by Mrs., so who made it?
