Chapter 152: Fragrance
Zhuang Rou wasted several pieces of paper, dyed a hand of ink, put down the pen and blew the ink on the paper, picked up the paper and nodded very satisfied, "I'm really amazing, I can draw so well." ”
She boasted to herself, thought about it, and happily went out with paper to find the little king.
If it's okay, Zhuang Rou really doesn't want to go to him, but thinking about this matter, only he can give him some advice, and everyone else is not very reliable.
Chu Xia has been rare these days, he just sent out a group of people, and now he doesn't want to deal with any official business. Although he doesn't have office work on weekdays, he always has to look through the official documents, and he is not even in the mood to flip through them today.
After Song Tong fainted last time, he was verbally told by Zhuang Rou to go home to recuperate, and everyone didn't know about it. Only Song Tongju's attendant remembered that after Song Tongju woke up, he informed him that he had been driven home.
Song Tong was sentenced to zero water, plus heat stroke and thirst, and he was anxious and panicked and didn't know what was going on, so he fainted again.
This time it's a good thing, he didn't wake up for a few days after he fainted, and he really let Chu Xia pick up a big bargain, and really let him go home to recuperate.
came out of vain to make a position for a general judge, and many officials began to run away from his relationship, wanting to be a substitute for the general judge. Until the ministry sends someone to succeed him, he can always be in charge of the position of general judge.
Not to mention, this Lord Zhizhou has a royal relationship, maybe he does a good job and thinks it is good, so he will directly ask the officials to become regular.
Everyone here wants to grab a position, and Song Tong's family is also anxious, and it just so happens that people have woken up, but they are too weak to get out of bed. This is more troublesome than being unconscious, and I can't get out of bed, and I really have to go home and recuperate.
Therefore, Song Tongju's family also sent boxes of gifts, and it didn't matter if he could afford these things with his money, anyway, they were crying and begging.
Chu Xia felt very annoyed, he came to Hongzhou and knew that this Song Tongju was a lazy person who was waiting for death. One house does not allow two lazy, he hates Song Tongju very much, how can there be a second lazy person in this Hongzhou yamen besides him!
If no one is working, who will help him do things and serve him.
But he was a little difficult to refuse, and Song Tong's family even brought his daughter who was like a flower and jade, saying that he would bring him tea and pour water to add fragrance. Originally, Chu Xia refused, but he didn't expect Song Tongju's daughter to stay and not leave, and she became a maid by herself.
When Zhuang Rou came to Qingfeng Residence, before she went in, she heard the sound of the piano coming from inside, and there were people singing inside.
She walked through the shadow wall, and at a glance saw Chu Xia sitting in the pavilion enjoying the shade, and a delicate girl sitting opposite her was playing the piano and singing softly, and there was a little girl ring standing next to her.
"On a hot day, it is too unreasonable to call a woman to the yamen." Thinking that all the people in the yamen were working, but he was enjoying it here in broad daylight, Zhuang Rou scolded angrily.
She walked to the pavilion in a few steps, looked at the summer relief dew with fruits and ice cubes on the table, and squinted at Chu Xia and said, "My lord, now that you are on duty, why are you playing." Besides, there is a clause in Dahao's law, that is, officials are not allowed to take prostitutes in the yamen, why did you call people directly? ”
"If you want to play, just wait for the evening to find this girl." Zhuang Rou said unceremoniously, why is this guy idle here, and besides, he has something to do with him, of course, there can't be idle people present.
Chu Xia looked up at her and said, "Shhh, let's talk about it after listening to this song." ”
It doesn't matter if there is a misunderstanding here, the little girl on the other side can't stand her own lady being said so badly, and said angrily: "My young lady is the daughter of the general judgment family, you vulgar woman, you dare to speak wildly!" ”
"The daughter of the general judge? Xu Tongju's daughters are so old! Zhuang Rou looked at this woman in surprise, and saw that she was about sixteen years old to be married. Then Xu Yuanhui is only in his thirties, this is Zhongxiu got married before he was married.
Xiao Yahuan stepped on her foot angrily, "We are from the Song family, this is the second lady of our family, what nonsense are you talking about!" ”
"That's it......" Zhuang Rou nodded understandingly, looking clear, and then said curiously, "The official position of the general judge is low, the eldest princess should not let your young lady be the princess of the county, and the side concubines may be a little hanging." ”
Speaking of this, she turned her head to look at Chu Xia, "My lord, are you going to accept people?" ”
Chu Xia said with a smile: "In this way, you will be responsible for protecting the safety of Second Miss Song in the future, and you will be a guard for her." ”
Zhuang Rou instantly opened her eyes and looked at him well, and Miss Song Er, who had been pretending not to hear playing the piano, but had not sung again, suddenly stopped her hand and looked up at Chu Xia in surprise.
"Folk girl......" She stood up a little uneasy and excited, blushing and shyly wanting to say something, so that the little county king would have a better impression of her.
Without waiting for her to continue, Zhuang Rou said with a cold face: "Second Miss Song, although Song Tong has a humble official position, it is easy to say that he is also an official. As a young lady of the official family, how can you despise yourself so much. ”
"It is easy to marry into a rich family and be a wife, and the housekeeper punishes the concubine for the room on weekdays, and the child born is also a son-in-law. Why listen to those who only have power and money in their eyes, sacrifice themselves to be a concubine for an ignorant county king, please don't lose our women's faces. ”
Miss Song Er's face turned white in an instant, this kind of thing was said by others behind her back, and she actually said it in front of herself.
Again......
She glanced at Chu Xia, it was good to be able to serve a jade person like Xiaojun Wang, even if he didn't have a name.
Seeing that she was still looking at Chu Xia, Zhuang Rou hugged her hands and said impatiently: "Look at what, if you weren't Song Tongju's daughter, I'll kick you out now." Besides, don't you see what this place is? The office of the governor is not his soft couch, is it a place where idle people can come to play? ”
"When the time comes, he will be charged with confusing the court by the imperial history, detaining the county king, insulting the name of the court, forcibly occupying the children of officials, and flouting the law. Do you want to watch adults die? ”
Chu Xia was still smiling, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching when she said, "Hey, are you cursing me?" ”
"I didn't!" Second Miss Song is angry and anxious, it's just some children's private affairs, how can it become to watch the king of the county die!
Zhuang Rou raised her hand and pointed out the door, and said without giving any face: "Hold your piano and leave immediately, fortunately you have a ring, otherwise I don't know what bad things you will do to adults!" ”
"You're going too far!" Xiao Yahuan is also a sharp-mouthed person on weekdays, but what she says is just ordinary words, where do you know so many things about being an official, and she is so bluffed that she can't refute it, but she is afraid that she will be charged with more crimes if she says too much.
"Let's go, I don't think I saw anything today. Even if you tarnish your reputation, if you let the county king make something unpleasant, let the eldest princess know, your whole family will be doomed! Zhuang Rou directly moved out of the eldest princess to scare people, to see if these women dare to come again.
Second Miss Song really didn't dare to speak more this time, but Chu Chu glanced at Chu Xia pitifully, her eyes were full of grievances, as if the two had already been in love.
Chu Xia hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You go back first." ”
In Zhuang Rou's thief-like gaze, Miss Song Er reluctantly asked Yahuan to put away her things, and left Qingfeng Ju with the piano in her arms.
