rushed back all the way, and when I arrived in Jinzhou on this day, it happened to be the setting sun.

At this time, it was naturally impossible to go to the yamen again, Tang Cheng heard Feng Haizhou say that he wanted to go home, so he said: "Haizhou, don't be in a hurry to go back, go to my house first", after speaking, he should go home first.

"The big official is back", the porter Lao Gao saw that Tang Cheng was back, and happily greeted him, his daughter was wiping the utensils in the gatehouse, and after seeing Tang Cheng through the window, she threw the rag in her hand, and ran inside with her skirt.

When Tang Cheng handed over the reins in his hand, he asked casually, "Lao Gao, how are you at home?" ”。

The smiling old Gao hesitated when he heard this, and said repeatedly: "Okay, it's all good."

His extremely brief hesitation was seen by Tang Cheng, "What's the matter?" ”。

"No, no", Lao Gao smiled at Tang Cheng, who was looking at him, and said: "Big official, there is really no, the family is fine."

Seeing the sincerity of Lao Gao's smile, and with Feng Haizhou by his side, Tang Chengyin didn't ask any more questions, and walked home first.

As soon as he entered the second gate here, he saw Li Yingjun coming out from the inside with the support of Lancao, seeing this scene, Tang Cheng was slightly stunned, strange, Li Yingjun is not very old, and she is a quick-tempered person, she doesn't like to be held by people when she walks there, what's wrong with this today?

Tang Cheng didn't care that Feng Haizhou was following by his side, and after grabbing the hand of Li Yingjun who was approaching, he asked with concern: "What's wrong, you're not feeling well?" Have you asked a doctor to see you? ”。

"No, my body is better", Li Yingjun smiled very sweetly, whether it was her smile or the tone of her speech, she was a little more gentle than before, she was still such a person, but Tang Cheng could obviously feel that she had changed a little, but when it came to saying exactly what this change was, it was not clear.

"It's good to be good". After Tang Cheng let go of his hand, Li Yingjun, who took it back, gently put it on his stomach and stroked it slowly, the tenderness and gentleness between his eyebrows were almost overflowing.

Her performance made Tang Cheng feel more and more weird, but at this time, she didn't ask again, but turned around and said to Feng Haizhou: "Haizhou, I know that you are like an arrow, so I won't invite you to have tea inside." How bad are you from the last time? ”。

Feng Haizhou didn't react for a while, "What's the difference?" ”。 ^^

"It's your brother-in-law."

"Ah...... Oh! Feng Haizhou didn't expect that Tang Cheng would remember a sentence he said casually in Xiangzhou that day, and he was moved and a little embarrassed for a while, "My lord, no, those thirty ...... last year."

"Alright, be polite with me. This is borrowed from you, and I still point to you to pay it back, who hasn't had a time of emergency? Tang Cheng waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to say any more, "When the errand of road construction is more useful to you, don't distract your heart from these family affairs." Let's talk happily, how much is it? At this point, Feng Haizhou really didn't know what to say, so he hesitated for a moment and said, "One hundred and twenty times."

"Lancao, go get a hundred and thirty flying tickets", after turning back to Lancao, Tang Cheng continued to say to Feng Haizhou: "Haizhou." You don't need to go to the Ya for two days tomorrow, and you have to rest at home, and I'm afraid you'll have to go again the day after tomorrow."

"If the adult has something to do, just ask him", Tang Cheng naturally talked about business, which just solved Feng Haizhou's embarrassment of helpless borrowing money, "Where to go?" ”。

"If the observation envoy is there, you will go there", Tang Cheng smiled and said: "There is no money and food in the road construction, and there is no quota for forced labor, so people must always give a few!" Haizhou, you go here for one purpose. Need! When Lord Yu came to serve as an observer envoy, he brought a group of old team members from the Ministry of Industry to build roads, and what we want is these people, and the more we want, the better."

"Well, I remember, I left early in the morning the day after tomorrow."

"Good! Come over again the night after tomorrow, I'll write a letter for you to bring", Lan Cao had already walked over with a hundred and thirty tickets, and Tang Cheng took it and gave it to Feng Haizhou. "This can't just be pointed at adults. After you go to Haizhou, you might as well take the initiative to inquire and make friends with those people. After making friends, huh...... Haizhou, you tell them, as long as they are willing to come to Jinzhou, how much salary they get a month now, I will triple it according to it. One counts as one". Triple the original salary, and those who come can get four months' salary in one month! Feng Haizhou had never heard of such a fight, "Huh? My lord, everyone is a member of the imperial court, and whether it is to build roads for Jinzhou or Fangzhou, in the final analysis, they are also building land for the imperial court, which is ......."

"Although they are all repaired for the imperial court, whether it is repaired for Jinzhou or Fangzhou, this is different for us and Jinzhou", Tang Cheng smiled and patted Feng Haizhou's shoulder, "Haizhou, these people brought by Lord Yu are all experts in road construction, and if we want to repair the road, they are really indispensable." ^^ you can't save the money you should spend, okay, let's talk about it first, what is there to discuss when you come to get the letter the day after tomorrow, go back, sister-in-law should also be looking forward to you. By the way, since these two days are your rest, then don't think about the road construction for the time being, it's still the old saying, you should be busy when you should be busy, and you have to rest when you should rest."

Tang Cheng said that Feng Haizhou's heart was warm, speaking of which he has been tired of following Tang Cheng these days, first running around the county, and then going to Xiangzhou, this is not just coming back from Xiangzhou to rest for two days and then going on a long business trip, but it is so busy, Feng Haizhou is not the slightest displeasure in his heart, he can follow such a boss who knows cold and hot to do a serious thing that is very beneficial to his hometown, no matter how hard and tired he is, his heart is also happy.

In addition to the time when he first entered the yamen when he was young, the current period of time is the first time in more than ten years that Feng Haizhou really feels the joy of working, and the current road repair is not just an errand for him to support his family.

"My lord is really right, a man can't have no ideals and no career", when Feng Haizhou walked out of the gate of the Tang family, Tang Cheng's words came to mind again. At the beginning, in order to explain to him what an ideal is and what is a career, Tang Chengke really worked hard. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Feng Haizhou's face. It's just that after laughing, I can't help but sigh in my heart: "Adults are indeed good at making money, but it's a pity that the money is not ambiguous at all, hey!" If only he had tightened his hands......".

Tang Cheng naturally didn't know these thoughts in Feng Haizhou's heart, after sending Feng Haizhou away. He went straight to the inner courtyard.

Walking into the house, Tang Chengcheng saw that Li Yingjun was sitting on the edge of the fire cage, and he didn't know what she was thinking, and his face was also smiling when he was staying, and the tenderness and warmth between his eyebrows made people feel sweet in his heart at a glance, and one hand gently stroked his stomach.

Tang Cheng's footsteps alarmed Li Yingjun, and before she could stand up, Tang Cheng had already walked over quickly, and after sitting down by the fire cage, he pulled her hand, "Say it." \ What is it that makes you happy to be like this? ”。

"No, nothing", Li Yingjun said nothing, but the look on her face was such that even a fool could see that she was lying, and after she finished speaking, she was watched by Tang Cheng, and lowered her head with a little shyness on her face.

Yo! It's been a long time since I've seen this scene! It's been almost half a year since I got married. It's that the two of them "prostitute themselves during the day" in the house on weekdays, and when they practice the difficult boudoir secret technique of "fish catching scales and rabbits sucking" in front of the spring palace map, Li Yingjun doesn't blush, what's wrong with this day?

"Okay, I dare to deceive my husband, it seems that it will not be possible if I don't go to the family law." Tang Cheng said these words in the tone of Peking Opera in later generations, and at the same time, he put Li Yingjun in his arms with a copy of his hand, which is often experienced in the laughter of the two boudoirs, the so-called family law is "whipping", but the whip used by Tang Cheng's family law is special, as for what kind of special law, hehe...... The boudoir is private, not enough for outsiders!

In the past, when I heard that Tang Cheng wanted to practice the family method, especially when he returned from a long way like this. Li Yingjun must have cooperated with a smile and put on a Wushan ** heartily, but this time it was not possible, seeing that Tang Cheng was about to make a move, she actually refused slightly.

It was the time of the expert method, Tang Cheng couldn't allow her to refuse, and his hand suddenly sped up, and even this strength was a lot heavier.

"Ah Cheng, don't ...... Don't ......". Seeing the man who can't stop the beast's blood. Li Yingjun blurted out: "Ah Cheng, be careful of hurting the child."

"It doesn't hurt ......". Tang Cheng, who replied casually, persevered up and down, and after a while, his whole body froze after reacting.

God is pitiful, although Tang Cheng is a human being in two lives, but he has no experience in these two lives, although he reacted and understood Li Ying's words, he was still a little overwhelmed, maybe he couldn't believe it, and the expression on his face was a little stunned, "What did you say?" ”。

"I said don't hurt the child", Li Yingjun took out Tang Cheng's hand from his chest and gently put it on his stomach, and then put his hand on Tang Cheng's hand, guiding the gentle stroke. After doing this, because he couldn't hear Tang Cheng's words, Li Yingjun, who had a tender face, raised his head.

Immediately, she saw Tang Cheng's stunned expression, since she met, Tang Cheng had never seen such an expression Li Yingjun had never seen it, and her heart was first sweet, and then she couldn't help laughing out loud, "Ah Cheng, you're going to be a father!" ”。

"I'm going to be a dad!" , After Tang Cheng repeated a sentence, he completely woke up, and after this awakening, a feeling of indescribability suddenly surged up in his heart.

Holding Li Yingjun in his arms, Tang Cheng stood up suddenly, first walked around the fire cage twice, and then strode towards the door, after striding out of the door, looking at the bright blue sky outside, Tang Cheng, who suddenly stopped, suddenly said, "Damn, Lao Tzu is going to be a father!" ”。

Tang Cheng's ecstatic behavior added to the sweetness and joy in Li Yingjun's heart, hugging the man's neck tightly, watching him turn around, looking at him with excitement, Li Yingjun only felt that the happiness in her heart was almost full of water, she clearly did not touch the wine, but at this moment she was really held tightly in Tang Cheng's arms.

Being held in the arms of his favorite man, carrying the child conceived with this man in his belly, and sharing the excitement and joy of the child with him in his arms, this moment is far more beautiful and humane than Li Yingjun's countless previous assumptions.

The excitement of the two lasted for a long time, and after the two of them completely calmed down from the surprise, they sat on the couch leaning on the pillow, and Li Yingjun gently brushed Tang Cheng's head with her crystal and slender fingers. He smiled at Tang Cheng, who was carefully lying on her stomach with wide eyes and listening carefully, "Ah Cheng......."

"Hmm", Tang Cheng unconsciously agreed, he was still listening carefully with a concentrated face, listening hard, the day is strange, don't all the TV dramas in later generations say that the child will punch and kick in his mother's stomach, why can't he listen to it at all, could it be. This is a daughter, and her temperament is too quiet......

"It's only been two months, I can't hear it", looking at Tang Chengyuan's eyes, his head turned around, and his ears rubbed against her stomach, Li Ying's hand on his head was like her voice, softer and softer, "Ah Cheng, you are going to be a child's father." But looking at the way you are now, you are clearly a child...... you." Because of this unexpected happy event, this meal was eaten too late, and during the meal, Li Yingjun suddenly remembered one thing, "Ah Cheng." In the days you have been in Xiangzhou, there has been a big incident in Jinzhou, and I just forgot to tell you." ****

"What's the matter, you say", Tang Cheng agreed, and easily gave Li Yingjun a large piece of fish and pressed it in her bowl, "I will eat more in the future." It can't be the same as before."

"Got it", Li Yingjun replied with a sweet smile and said: "It's only been two days since you went to Xiangzhou, and I don't know where there were some things in the state government."

"Hmm", hearing this, Tang Cheng didn't raise his head, and he was drinking the soup when he said vaguely: "What are the rumors?" ”。

"It's all the most private thing in the house, tsk, don't drive the master, the second largest official in the Golden State. Who would have thought that he was being managed by the people in the house at home, I heard that he was a leading figure outside, but as long as there was a slight mistake at home, the people in the house shouted for him to kneel, and he immediately knelt down, many times it was a kneeling in the middle of the night, and Mrs. Ma didn't dare to get up without saying anything", said excitedly Li Yingjun put down the chopsticks in his hand. "It's still rumored. Even the night incense of the people in the house was poured by the old man."

"It's time to eat, why are you talking about this?"

"Hmm. Don't say it, don't say it", but it's really difficult to hold back such gossip, just after a while, Li Yingjun couldn't help but touch Tang Chengdao: "Ah Cheng, isn't the most important thing for a man is face, not to mention that he is a personal driver, how noble is his status?" Why is it like this at home, and so bad at home, so can you still be a good official? ”。

Because Tang Cheng never brought the troubles and dirty things outside home, it was because Li Yingjun didn't know that Tang Cheng was celebrating the holiday with Lao Madi. Tang Cheng heard her ask, and said with a smile: "Master Ma doesn't have any pockets in the yamen, what else is there, just say it if you want to say it."

"It's a lot", Li Yingjun put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said with a radiant look: "This old man Ma is not only a wreck, but also a miser, I heard that even he has to personally check the vegetable account of buying vegetables every day in the stove room in his house. In addition, he is good at stealing food, and he doesn't have the guts, he makes ideas on the girl every day, but as soon as the people in the house come over, they are so scared that they don't dare to care about anything, just because of this, none of the girls in the don't drive the house are willing to serve his ......".

Li Yingjun said, Tang Cheng listened, this rumor is actually some trivial things, but the piles are the most selfish, the most revealing things, these things are also said to have noses and eyes, what are the furnishings in the mansion when something happens, and the names of the people involved are clear, so no one can not believe it.

After saying this, Li Yingjun specially touched Tang Cheng's arm, lowered his voice and said: "The last thing is to say that the horse can't drive."

"No more?" , Tang Cheng was stunned when he heard it, "What's wrong?" ”。

"It's not a man", Li Yingjun said in his mouth, and he was embarrassed to twist Tang Cheng's arm, "I heard that Mrs. Ma's request is very big, and she has already squeezed his man dry, and Ma Beijia can only be fought now by relying on home remedies to support him."

"What a remedy?"

"And it's disgusting", Li Yingjun's face changed, his face was disgusted, and his voice became lower. "Mrs. Ma gets up every morning and takes three dried red dates and soaks them there...... There, wait until the night bubbles up, and then take it out and give it to the man to eat. ”

"Soak there?" , Tang Chengxian was still puzzled, but through Li Yingjun's expression, he immediately reacted, "Damn, Mrs. Ma must be in her forties......", and just said this foul sentence uncontrollably. Tang Chengcheng bent down suddenly, and spit out the original chicken soup he had just drunk.

Seeing that Tang Cheng vomited, Li Yingjun hurriedly got up and poured water, took the handkerchief handle, and blamed himself with a face.

After stumbling, Tang Cheng took Li Yingjun's hand and patted it, "It's okay, okay, don't talk about these disgusting things." By the way, how did you hear that? ”。

"It's all over the Golden State. This is what everyone in the city talks about, and as long as you go to the street, there is nothing you can't listen to", Li Yingjun, who packed up the handkerchief handle, said casually: "In the past, the reputation of not driving a horse was not bad, but now the people in the city call him a hypocrite behind their backs, and there are rumors that his clan has spoken that Ma Bei lost his ancestors." You are not allowed to enter the ancestral grave in the future! ”。

To be honest, Tang Cheng didn't believe most of these rumors, such as pouring night incense, miserliness or something, as an old horse and his limited understanding of Lao Ma Di, knowing that such a thing was impossible. But at the same time, he is also sure that the old horse is now completely ruined, and he is stingy, stingy, and colored. After these things are stained with a man, it is enough to make people look down on them, not to mention that this is still a "useless" man, especially those three red dates, which are the best killers, who will mention it in the future, or even think of the horse Don't drive, it will be disgusting for a while, what reputation does such a person have?

For people with such status. His private affairs are always the most willing for the people to circulate and discuss. One to ten, ten to hundred, between word of mouth, snickering and talking, Ma Beijia has been bothering to operate in Shilin and the people for decades, and the reputation that is still good has collapsed, and the number two person in the dignified Jinzhou Prefecture has become the biggest laughing stock in the market.

For an official, a scholar who was born as a scholar and boasted of being a gentleman. Fame is face! From a gentleman to a hypocrite who is not a man. This is not just a slap in the face, it is clearly a bloody and completely tear off the face that Lao Ma has bothered to maintain for decades. Good names are hard to gather. The notoriety is even more difficult to eliminate, the public mouth is gold, the accumulation of ruined bones, the reputation and face is a lifetime of war, for the old horse who is not driven by the official residence, this reputation is far heavier than the previous Chen Liang incident.

Thinking of all this that happened to Lao Ma, Tang Cheng shuddered a little, "This blessing is really ruthless!" Yes, this matter was indeed done by Laifu in accordance with his instructions, for the old horse who was in a clear advantage, Tang Cheng blindly thought about defense and couldn't succeed, because there was a matter of finding a blessed land.

If you discourage me, I will make you sad. Tang Cheng originally just wanted to make Lao Ma sad this time, after all, with his current position, he couldn't win Lao Ma, but he didn't expect Laifu to be so ruthless, and he completely tore Lao Ma's face! Poor old horse has regarded himself as a celebrity all his life, and he is the most face-saving person, but now he is old, but he ......

"Where did this rumor come from?".

"No one can say for sure", Li Yingjun helped Tang Cheng with a bowl of soup again, "But I heard that the names of the people in the other driving mansion involved in this rumor are all true, otherwise there would not be so many people believing and so many people passing it on." Judging from this, it must have been done by internal thieves. ”

"The thief, who is it, there is no explanation?".

"It was last month, just after the end of the year, an old family member who had been waiting for more than 30 years was expelled from the Farewell Driving Mansion, and everyone said that these things were just spread by the popularity of the old family, otherwise how could ordinary people be so clear about the things in the Farewell Driving Mansion." Old family? Where is he now? ”。

"Dead, the old family was expelled because of illness, old, lonely and sick, and caught up with the cold weather, and died not long after leaving the house", at this point, Li Yingjun sighed and said: "It's too harsh to treat people, and speaking of this, this is also Ma Don't drive yourself."

"Oh, I see!" , Tang Cheng smiled and said: "Okay, don't talk about this dirty, eat!" ”。
