Cheng Ting washed Xue Chongxun's official robe and roasted it slightly with small charcoal, and it really dried the next morning, but the wrinkles on the fire-dried clothes were uneven. Xue Chongxun was in a hurry to go to the lobby, so he had to put on his clothes. Cheng Ting cleaned up his body, watched him go out to do "big things", and then looked forward to him coming back at night to linger with herself, she was very happy to have such a day...... If he didn't have so many wives and concubines, and he lived like this for the rest of his life, she would be even more willing.

In the morning, she walked around the inner house, felt the place, arranged the work of slaves, cooks, gardeners, etc., and did it very well, as if she was like a flower that had been moistened by the rain and dew, and became more and more spiritual and beautiful. Xue Chongxun didn't come back for lunch, he probably ate with his colleagues in the yali, and Cheng Ting cleaned up after lunch and went out to do some errands.

She thought that Xue Chongxun only had one official robe, and it was naturally inconvenient to change it, so she wanted to go to the street to buy a red silk to make a new dress for him.

Shanzhou is on the Silk Road, and now the business of the city has recovered at least six or seven percent after the war, and naturally there is no shortage of silk fabrics, as long as there is money, you can buy them.

When Cheng Ting came to Xishi in a car under the escort of her family, she suddenly saw a large group of people surrounding there blocking the road, so she lifted the curtain and said, "Go and see what happened ahead?" ”

After a while, the slave came back and whispered: "Killing people, beheading the public." I asked that the criminal was an official, a newcomer to the assassination...... That is, Lang Jun committed a big crime of disrespect in front of him, and as soon as the evidence of corruption and bribery was conclusive, he was immediately sentenced to behead and sentenced to be punished for several crimes, and he was dragged to the West Market to cut off his head......"

Cheng Ting was silent for a moment and said, "Wait for a while, and then you can pass before leaving." ”

After waiting for almost half an hour, a bunch of talents dispersed one after another, Cheng Ting's carriage entered Dexi City, she watched along the road behind the curtain, and suddenly saw a very magnificent silk village, a plaque on the words "Yangzhou weaving" was written with great momentum, Cheng Ting knocked on the carriage and said: "That's it." ”

She got out of the car and walked into Zhuangzi with a maid and two strong men from Xue Mansion, and soon a person in a long robe greeted her, looked Cheng Ting's clothes up and down, and then glanced at the entourage beside her, and immediately her mouth fluttered: "Madame is full of luxury, you can't be worthy of you if you have to be a good ayaluo, sizz...... You are not like our Longyou background, you have the smell of smoke and rain in Jiangnan Road, it's a coincidence! All the things we sell here are things shipped from Yangzhou, please here, these outside are not suitable for your identity......"

Cheng Ting said in her heart: This shopkeeper thinks that I bought it to make clothes for myself, forget it, and I don't have to talk to him more. After thinking about it, she said, "I'll take a look for myself." ”

As she spoke, she walked over to a red silk and gently stretched out her hand to touch it, but she felt that it was not the same as the material used to make official clothes. Just as he was about to continue walking, suddenly a woman's voice said: "The official uniform has to use vermilion Xiaoke, this kind of silk is not good." ”

Cheng Ting turned her head in some surprise, only to see a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young woman looking at her with a smile, Cheng Ting couldn't help asking, "Why did Madame say this?" ”

"You're from the Patriotic Family, right? I saw you that day in the West Side. The woman said kindly, and she didn't see anything outside, and she suddenly took Cheng Ting's hand, "I know this Zhuangzi well, I know where there is the material you want." ”

Cheng Ting gently withdrew her hand and said, "Thank you, madam, I haven't asked for my surname when we met for the first time." ”

The woman smiled, "This is the second time we've met, but I saw you yesterday, and you didn't see me...... My surname is Chen, and my brother was originally a training envoy of the Shanzhou regiment, so he should be a person who is loyal to the public account of defending the country, alas...... My brother often calls me Zhenzhen, and my wife calls me that. The woman's expression was gloomy.

Cheng Ting was puzzled: "What's wrong?" Is something wrong with Brother Ling? She suddenly remembered that the official who had just been beheaded in Xishi, couldn't it be this Chen Zhenzhen's brother? She hurriedly glanced back at the attendant who had gone to find out the news first. The servant understood and whispered, "Not surnamed Chen." ”

Chen Zhenzhen asked puzzledly, "What did you say?" ”

"Nothing?" Cheng Ting hurriedly shook her head. Her heart was also uneasy, and she actually killed someone as soon as she arrived at the ground...... Although she also understands the purpose of Liwei, she only blames the dead man for being too arrogant and making a comeback, but doing so is always too angry.

Chen Zhenzhen said again: "I am a native of Shanzhou, I am familiar with this place, where my wife wants to go to play in the future, I can accompany you to show you the way or something." ”

"Mm-hmm......" Cheng Ting just replied casually, she had something else in her heart, and couldn't help but ask again: "Is something wrong with Brother Ling?" ”

At this moment, Chen Zhenzhen finally couldn't stop laughing, tears jumped out of her eyes, she fell to her knees and cried: "Ask Mrs. for help, I will repay your great kindness even if I am a cow and a horse for the rest of my life......"

Cheng Ting hurriedly supported her and said, "If you have anything to say, say it well, if I can help, I will not refuse." ”

"Madame promised me?" Chen Zhenzhen looked at Cheng Ting with anticipation. Cheng Ting frowned and said, "You have to say something first." ”

Chen Zhenzhen couldn't hold it up, knelt down and said: "My brother didn't do anything wrong, when he came back from the school field the month before last, he saw that shameless woman (presumably Chen Zhenzhen's sister-in-law) and his subordinates in the same room, lonely men and widows in the same room, what did it say?" She has no shame at all, and she still has to protect that general! In a fit of rage, the brother killed the man and the woman...... But that woman is a member of the Zhou family of the Shanzhou clan, and the people over there do not follow, so they don't admit that their family members don't abide by women's morals, and they also bribe officials to slander the innocence of our Chen family, and put my brother in prison, wanting to kill people and take revenge...... Poor Chen family was also one of the top families in Shanzhou ten years ago, but after the death of his father, the family was weakened, and now he can only be wronged by others! Ask Mrs. to say a few words in front of the princess, pull the family brother, the great kindness is unforgettable......"

Cheng Ting frowned and said: "I am a woman, how can I get involved in official affairs, my colleagues will say that I am involved in politics." You might as well go directly to the yamen to complain, and Lang Jun will be the master with you. ”

Chen Zhenzhen cried: "My brother is the only person I can rely on, if he has three longs and two shorts...... I beg you. As she spoke, she took out a pair of jade bracelets, "This is a family heirloom of the Chen family, please accept it." ”

"No, how can I accept money and property for myself?!" Cheng Ting hurriedly lightly blocked the hand she handed over, not wanting to touch it like this, the bracelet actually fell to the ground, and there were two crisp sounds of "Dangdang......

Cheng Ting was dumbfounded, didn't she say it was a family heirloom? Why don't you hold it steady! Maybe this woman did it on purpose, but now it's quite miserable, and you can't push the blame out, right?

Cheng Ting hurriedly said: "I'll compensate you for the bracelet, come here, collect the pieces and take them to the jewelry store for valuation." ”

"No need, I didn't take it well, how can I blame Madame?" Chen Zhenzhen sighed sadly, "No one is gone, what's the use of me asking for money?" Madame is not willing to help, forget it, just leave, disturb you. ”

"Wait!" Cheng Ting looked left and right, and asked in a depressed whisper, "Brother Ling's name?" ”

"Chen Shitang."

……

Cheng Ting bought the materials she needed, and then took the car and went straight home. When Xue Chongxun came back in the evening, she began to say what she had done today, and the main purpose was naturally to tell the Chen family in front of Xue Chongxun.

Xue Chongxun listened to her say some trivial things, so he coped with it in a hurry, and occasionally felt that her words were full of life, and when he was interested, he said a few more words, "Shanzhou is a lively ......" "Yes, the silk fabrics in Jiangnan are good." "So much more.

After a long time, Cheng Ting quietly told the Chen family about it, and also expressed a little sigh: "That woman is very pitiful, alas." ”

Xue Chongxun looked at her and said, "Do you think she is pitiful?" Do you want to help her? ”

Cheng Ting hurriedly said cautiously: "I'...... I just feel that she is helpless, but I shouldn't have talked too much about Lang Jun's official duties...... However, but the Chen family is also a Shanzhou scholar, and Lang Jun should not only have prestige when he first arrives, but also win over some people, maybe there is nothing wrong with helping the Chen family......"

Xue Chongxun smiled: "What are you nervous about, afraid of interfering in politics?" If you do politics, you can do politics, you see how my mother is not only in politics! I'm not a selfless Qingtian master, what's wrong with using power for personal gain? You say help her, you don't need any reason, just want you to show a smile. ”

Cheng Ting's face turned red when she heard this, and she bit her lip lightly and said, "You said it bluntly...... But I still hope that Lang Jun will do more good things for the eunuchs. ”

Xue Chongxun took her into his arms, blew warm air in her ear, and said softly: "You laugh, I will acquit Chen Shitang immediately, what are you afraid of?" If this Shanzhou Thorn History is smashed, let the Asari change it to Langzhou or Hezhou Thorn History for me another day. ”

Cheng Ting said: "I still don't want it, I am your woman, I should persuade you to do good deeds, how can you be like this...... It's so late today, Lang Junming'er will do some business again, we ...... now Now......" The more she spoke, the hotter her face became.

Xue Chongxun reached out into her arms and said with a smile: "My white rabbit has risen up." ”

"Bad stuff!" Cheng Ting gently bit him on the shoulder.

Xue Chongxun picked him up and walked towards the kang. At this time, he suddenly felt that the house in this state was really a little old, the surrounding hues were all dark, even the veil weft was purple, the lamp stand was lit not a candle but an oil lamp, and the green fire with the size of a bean was an indescribable weirdness, in short, everything was very old-fashioned...... Fortunately, the delicate baby in her arms is white, soft and tender, which makes a qiē vivid all of a sudden. G
