Chapter Thirty-Seven: A Late Breakfast
In front of the yamen, the door of the mansion was wide open, and many people gathered outside the door to see the excitement, the county lord lifted the curtain of the carriage, put it down casually, and said to Hu Qi: "Do you see?" It has been many years since this kind of thing happened in the capital, and it seems that the people of the capital are very interested in this matter. ”
Hu Qi just saw a lot of people through the car window, they surrounded the government and couldn't leave, she knew what the county lord meant, General Chen might have to be pushed to the forefront again this time.
The county lord is not afraid of this matter at the moment, but is worried that someone will take advantage of this incident to fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to bring down the General's Mansion.
"It's time to get off." The county lord reminded and jumped out of the carriage first.
Subsequently, Hu Qi also got out of the carriage with Xiao Si's support.
Xu Fan, the lord of the government, saw the county lord and Hu Qi coming, and hurriedly went out to greet him.
"Lord Xu, there is no need to be polite."
Afterwards, the three of them went to the court together.
The county lord saw that above the public court, the officials had already stood on both sides, Xu Fan was wearing an official robe, she frowned slightly, "Lord Xu, are you going to be promoted to the court now?" ”
Xu Fan saw that the county lord's face was not good, and hurriedly saluted and replied: "According to the rules of Tianchen Kingdom, exactly." ”
The county lord smiled evilly: "However, as far as this county lord knows, the person concerned is seriously injured, and under special circumstances, the trial of the case can be postponed." ”
When Xu Fan heard the county lord say this, she was very dissatisfied, she was dignified Jing Zhaoyin, and asked her to be restrained by a county lord who had no official position and no position, but she was not satisfied. But because she was forced to be the county lord, Xu Fan still couldn't help but say: "What the county lord said is true." ”
The county lord was very satisfied with Xu Fan's words, and said to the outside world: "The trial will start in seven days." ”
"Seven days?" Xu Fan's face turned dark, and he asked, "County Lord, will seven days be too long?" ”
Outside the mansion, the people who came to see the excitement had been scattered, and the door of the mansion had been closed at the moment.
The county lord spoke: "Lord Xu, this county lord is also doing this for your own good. ”
Xu Fan was stunned when he heard this, and Hu Qi was also confused, not understanding what kind of medicine was being sold in the county lord's gourd.
Xu Fan asked, "What does the county lord mean?" Weichen was stupid, and asked the county lord to make it clear. ”
The county lord said: "Lord Xu, the autumn hunt is imminent, Her Majesty the Empress is busy, and the imperial examination will be held soon, do you think, if you add this matter now, it will not be you who Her Majesty will blame at that time?" Besides, you have always been responsible for the security of the capital, and you have not managed it well, but your fault Lord Xu, if you are a little careless, your official position is not guaranteed. ”
Seeing that Xu Fan was thoughtful, the county lord continued: "It's better to wait for a few more days, then the autumn hunt should be over, and you will try this case again, even if Her Majesty the Empress knows, it will not be angry at that time." And I think the old man is very badly injured, and it will take a few days for him to recover. Lord Xu, did you say that the county lord said it? ”
Hu Qi understood the meaning of the county lord's words at this moment, and if he could try the case one day later, General Chen would be implicated one day later. When the time comes, Her Majesty the Empress, for the sake of General Chen's meritorious contribution in arranging the autumn hunting matters, may not hold General Chen too responsible.
Hu Qi nodded again and again, and deliberately lamented in front of Xu Fan: "When the imperial examination is over this year and the newcomers enter the court, it is time for the court to eliminate officials." ”
Hearing Hu Qi's words, Xu Fan thought, if she really made trouble at such a critical juncture, what if Her Majesty the Empress Long Yan was angry that she was dismissed? Feeling his sense of crisis, Xu Fan hurriedly said to the county lord: "What the county lord said is extremely true, it is the lower official's lack of thought, thank you to the county lord for thinking about the lower official." ”
The county lord saw that this matter had been completed, and there was no need to stay any longer, so he said: "Lord Xu is polite, remember the good of this county lord, this county lord is not completely for you, this county lord is also for my aunt to relieve her worries." ”
"The county lord has such filial piety, presumably Her Majesty the Empress is very pleased."
Xu Fan's dissatisfaction with the county lord was eliminated in a few words from the county lord, and she now has a good impression of the county lord.
"Don't talk about it, the county lord hasn't eaten yet, so he will leave first."
"Xiaguan sends the county lord to him."
The county lord took Hu Qi out of the yamen together.
In front of the yamen, the county lord wanted to get in the car and go back to the county king's mansion, but was stopped by Hu Qi: "County lord, wait a minute." ”
The county lord looked at Hu Qi, "What else is there to do with Lord Hu?" ”
Hu Qi said: "Thank you for the county lord's help today, and I Hu Qi will definitely repay the county lord in the future." ”
The county lord smiled and said, "Lord Hu..., I'll talk about it later." Seeing that you haven't eaten yet, the lord of this county will go and fill your stomach first. ”
The county lord jumped into the carriage, and the carriage sped away.
……
The county king's mansion, Xingchen Garden.
Wu Ji complained while holding the meal, "Donkey, why did you say the county lord hasn't come back yet?" We've been waiting almost all morning. Horses, no good hunger ......"
Chen Ziwei came out of the kitchen and sighed helplessly, "Wu Suppression, why don't you go to eat first, I'll just wait here." ”
"No, if the horse doesn't eat it, it won't eat it, and if you don't eat it, you can't break the rules."
Chen Ziwei patted his stomach for looking at Wu Ji, and smiled stupidly at himself, "Don Ma, look, Wu Ji's belly is still round." ”
Since that incident passed, Wu Ji has said more, but it still can't change the way he laughs silly and honestly.
As soon as the county lord walked into the Xingchen Garden, he saw the scene of the master and servant touching their stomachs stupidly.
Realizing that no one noticed her, the county lord's hand was put to his mouth and reminded him that the county lord was here, didn't you see it.
Seeing the county lord coming, Wu Ji immediately became disciplined, "Say hello to the county lord." ”
At this time, Chen Ziwei also realized that the county lord was coming, so he saluted the county lord, "The county lord came just in time, the food is still hot, and the slave family will go and bring it to the county lord." ”
Wu Ji saw that the colt had gone to the kitchen, and the county lord was still standing outside the courtyard, so he said, "County lord, it's cold outside, let's go into the house first." ”
The county lord sat down at the table and poured a cup of tea for the county lord, "The county lord, the horse has been waiting for you for a morning, and I thought the county lord would not come." ”
Chen Ziwei has been waiting for himself? Didn't eat first? The county lord was very surprised, Chen Ziwei once again succeeded in impressing her.
"Of course what the county lord has said will be fulfilled."
Wu Ji saw a smile on his own county lord's lips, so he echoed: "Yes, yes, the county lord is the most trustworthy person in the world." ”
The county lord picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "Of course, it's good to know." ”
Wu Ji likes such a county lord the most, and such a county lord makes him not afraid.
"County Lord, it's been a long time since I've seen the County Lord so happy, County Lord, it's good for you to be like this."
At this moment, Wu Ji said what he really thought in his heart, but he was afraid that the county lord would not like him to say this, so he then said, "County Lord, Wu Ji went to the kitchen to help", and then he ran away.
The county lord couldn't help but smile when he looked at Wuji running like a rabbit, "This Wuji has become more cheerful." ”
After a while, Chen Ziwei and Wuji's master and servant each came over with two plates of dishes, followed by several Xiao Si, each of whom had a meal in his hand.
"Zi Wei......, you did all this?" When the county lord saw that a lot of dishes were served, he thought to himself, I'm afraid that I have to get up early to finish it, and he may not have slept well at night to make this meal.
Seeing that the food was placed on the table one by one, he said to the county lord: "County lord, you have to eat every dish, this is made by the horse himself, and he has been busy for a long time." ”
The county lord heard Wuji's words, and sure enough, Chen Ziwei got up in the middle of the night to cook.
Chen Ziwei nodded, "It was made by the slave family." Please also ask the county lord to taste it. Chen Ziwei personally took the chopsticks for the county lord and put the chopsticks into the county lord's hands.
The county lord took advantage of the situation to pick up the dish closest to him and tasted it slowly, "Yes, Ziwei, your cooking skills have improved again." ”
Hearing the county lord's praise, Chen Ziwei was very happy and personally sandwiched a different dish for the county lord.
"Come, Ziwei, I haven't eaten after working for so long, come, sit down, and eat together." The county lord is also a very warm-hearted person, and she will naturally treat people who are good to her, not to mention that Chen Ziwei is still her husband.
Chen Ziwei sat down next to the county lord, and Wu Ji immediately brought Chen Ziwei a pair of chopsticks.
Wuji saw that his colt and the county lord were together again, he was very happy, and kept giving the county lord and the horse vegetables.
The county lord looked at the bowl full of food, she was very embarrassed, if she finished eating this bowl of rice, she would definitely be very supportive, but if she didn't eat it, she would have failed Ziwei's mind in vain.
Seeing that Wuji was still carrying the dishes to his bowl, the county lord excused himself and said: "The county lord and the horse have something to discuss, Wuji, you take the rest of the people and others to go down." ”
As soon as Wu Ji heard the county lord's words, he instantly understood something, and he actively took a group of Xiao Si out very actively, and before leaving, he didn't forget to close the door.
The county lord looked at Wu Ji like that, alas, how did I raise such a subordinate, I really regret it.
Seeing that everyone had withdrawn, Chen Ziwei asked, "What does the county lord have to explain to the slave family?" ”
The county lord saw that recently, Chen Ziwei was very polite every time he saw her, and he felt a little outspoken, she didn't like Chen Ziwei to call herself like this, so she said: "Ziwei, don't call yourself a slave in front of the county lord in the future." ”
"Yes, slave... No... The son listens to the lord of the county. ”
The county lord was very satisfied with Chen Ziwei's change of words.
The county lord continued: "In the future, the accounts in the palace will be handed over to you to manage, and the housekeeper will do his best for the county king's mansion, and now that he is old, he can no longer be allowed to work so hard, so you can share more for him and take on this heavy responsibility." ”
Chen Ziwei once heard Xiao Si say that in the past, Yi'er assisted the housekeeper in managing the accounts, but now that Yi'er is pregnant with an heir, the housekeeper's health is getting worse day by day, and he, as the husband, should manage the county palace for the horse.
In the past, the county lord also handed over the accounts of the mansion to him to manage, but he was depressed every day at that time, and he had no intention of paying attention to other things, and he was very resistant to the affairs of the mansion.
This time, he Chen Ziwei must grasp the power of the house, and when the time comes, what he wants to do is not up to him?
Chen Ziwei replied: "This is what Ziwei should do, and Ziwei understands that the horse should do what the horse should do." ”
The county lord listened to Chen Ziwei's words, wasn't this what she had once warned him? He really took it to heart. It's good to remember, she is very pleased.
The county lord continued: "It's good to know, then the county lord won't say much, let's continue to eat." ”
"Yes, County Lord."
Chen Ziwei accompanied the county lord to eat like this, and ate for two full hours.
After the meal, the county lord left the Star Garden very satisfied.
Because, Yi'er's side also has to go and see it.
