Zhuang Rou forced Chu Xia to get her a cane, and returned to her yard with a pestle, and before she sat down, two little maids came over to carry the water shelf basin, and when she asked, she knew that it was Wu Tongzhi's rough maid ring, who was borrowed to serve her for a few days.
It's just that her legs and head are injured, her hands can still move, and she didn't ask them to help when the water is put away.
After changing her clothes, Imperial Doctor Zhao also came over to change her medicine, for a stupid person like her, Doctor Zhao didn't want to say it anymore, but the old man couldn't help but scold again, and then left angrily with the medicine box.
After that, Zhuang Rou found a shady place in the yard and lay down comfortably, she felt that her yard was really comfortable.
And Chu Xia waited for Zhuang Rou to leave, so he sat at the table and waited, and after waiting for a long time, he didn't wait for Xiao Ran to come in and admit his mistake, but the master came.
The master still had a pleasant smile on his face, and when he came in, he saluted first, and then stepped forward and said, "My lord, the accounts of the Qingfan Hall have been checked, and a total of ...... have been confiscated."
Before he could start speaking, he was interrupted by Chu Xia, "Xiao Ran called you here?" โ
"My lord." The master smiled, "My lord, it's not suitable to provoke Zhuang Xuewen now, his eyeliner is even installed in the palace, and many of the ministers are his relations, the emperor wants to take them all for his own use, and he can't spoil things because of his sister." โ
Chu Xia raised his eyebrows and looked at him, and only opened his mouth after a while, "I tattooed my name on her back." โ
"......" The master looked at him stunned, how did he do this, "My lord, you know that you can't, are you just playing?" Then you can find anyone, why look for her! โ
"Play? Yes and no. Chu Xia said with a smile.
The master was afraid for a while, "My lord, are you serious?" But this can't be, you can't do it for a woman...... You can't do bad things for Sister Zhuang! โ
Chu Xia looked at him with a smile, "Mr. Shi, this king is also a man." โ
These words made the master silent, the king of the county generally does not call him sir, when calling his name and the word sir, it is important. Even if he refutes what he said at that time, he will not change his meaning.
"You guys are really worried, how can this king be obsessed with beauty, and besides, she is just a little cute when she looks good. Can't this king have fun with the little girl, not to mention that he hasn't done anything out of the ordinary, this king is no different from usual, you are really redundant. Chu Xia said disdainfully.
"That's what my lord said." The master replied, but he slandered in his heart, they have followed the king of the county for so many years, where have they seen him do such a thing, and tattoo his name on the other party's back, even if he marries the princess, it is impossible to do it.
But he didn't dare to say it, since the county king wanted to pretend that he didn't know, and his attitude was so resolute, they really couldn't say anything. Even Sister Zhuang, how could she ignore the woman's innocence, just let the man touch his back and tattoo his name.
But when you think about it, that person is also an unusual person, maybe he is just a good man......
I forced myself to relax, and the master reported the accounts of the Qingfan Palace, and the huge amount of property seized was also arrested, and a lot of people were arrested.
not only copied the Qingfan Palace, but also copied a lot of young envoys and believers who did bad things, but those were all small fish, and the real big fish had not yet spoken.
Chu Xia trimmed his manicure with a small pair of gold scissors, stretched out his hand to look at it while listening, he was very satisfied with the repair today, and then said casually: "Continue to check and fish out the big fish of Qingfan Palace." Luo Yunfan doesn't care about him, if he presses it, he will naturally show his feet. โ
"Yes." The master responded.
After thinking about it, Chu Xia put down the scissors, looked at him and said, "Let Imperial Doctor Zhao give Zhuang Rou some better medicine, so that she can get better as soon as possible, and then let her out." This person is a bad spirit, and she can pull out a lot of radishes with mud and rabbit nests for big things. โ
"Finally, there is one thing, you go and do it immediately, everything is on this, and there is a good size, let the Xuanji Battalion send it to me quickly." He took out a letter from the table that he had written a long time ago, handed it to his master, and asked him to do it quickly.
The master didn't ask what it was, so he took it and quickly quit to do it.
Chu Xia sat idle for a while, feeling so bored, Zhuang Rou was also driven away, and he had to have some fun. So he walked out of the house and came to the courtyard, sat down and slapped the table with a fan and shouted, "Where is Huayulou?" Go and call him and read a little book to the king. โ
This portable scribe, after being served from Qingfan Palace, ran out all day long, do you want to dig deep news, where is anyone so meticulous!
Jianghu people are Jianghu people, they don't understand the rules at all, they have to be careful in what they do, otherwise how can they find out the news from themselves, it's really too new.
He lay down on the rocking chair, squeaked and squeaked the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, and he would get tired of sleeping and eating all day.
Zhuang Rou eats and drinks every day, and occasionally goes to the prison with a cane to see if the hall master of Qingfan Hall has moved. But she had an injury on her leg, and Lin Si Prison did not let her into a dirty cell most of the time, saying that it was not clean and that people with injuries were prone to illness inside.
Besides, it is not her business to try the case, and Jiang Yiyun's case also involves Qingfan Palace, so she will also be temporarily imprisoned, and after the investigation of Qingfan Palace, all the cases will be tried together.
As the people of Qingfan Hall continued to confess, the believers in Hongzhou City were also arrested one by one, and some were just deceived into giving money, and they were released after asking. And those who are with them will not be able to get out, and they will not be able to take the money to protect them.
All of a sudden, the people in Hongzhou City were panicked, and everyone was protecting themselves, and they only hoped that the yamen would not arrest people under the pretext. In addition, Qingfan Hall has not done anything bad on the surface, so in private, the people are secretly scolding the Hongzhou officials, and the scolding is extremely ugly, mainly scolding Chu Xia and Zhuang Rou, the scourge of Hongzhou's two people shouting and beating.
These days, Zhuang Rou heard that Mrs. Shangshu was sick, and she had a fever the night she returned from the county king, and her hands burned so hot at night that she was so frightened that Yahuan came to beg, so Imperial Doctor Zhao went over to take a look.
According to Imperial Physician Zhao, Mrs. Shangshu was overly frightened, and the weather was hot and she suffered from heat stroke, so her liver was too hot, so she set herself on fire. As long as you drink a few pairs of medicine and recuperate, you will be fine in three to five days.
She was talking nonsense when she burned it, and later after the fever subsided, she was also in poor spirits, and she looked very decadent and uneasy. looked for Chen Mufeng several times, only saying that he wanted to go back to the capital, but he couldn't let him go, so he wanted to stay in Hongzhou desperately.
Although Chen Mufeng is a little naughty, he is also a filial son, and he can't bear to see his usually radiant mother become half-dead, and he can't bear to look sick. The days of marriage were also survived, and it didn't matter if he promised to go back, so he agreed to wait for his mother to get better and go back to the capital together.
As soon as she heard that he was willing to go back, Mrs. Shangshu suddenly felt more than half better, and told everyone to pack up and go back in a few days.
Zhuang Rou raised for half a month, the medicine she used was good, and the food was all good things that Chu Xia asked her private chef to make, and her legs and head were almost as good as she was, so she thought about going to the prison arrest department tomorrow to see if she could help the little master Shi Zang to interrogate the prisoners.
Shi Zang was too busy these days, and she was also injured, so she didn't go to Yizhuang to dig up the body at night. She was a little dissatisfied, even if she couldn't dig up the corpse, she could learn something by watching the punishment, so why not let herself see it.
She has moved freely, thinking that her official uniform was damaged last time, so she will go and get a new one back first, otherwise she won't wear it tomorrow. As soon as he wanted to go out, he saw Chu Xia hurriedly running in with his clothes, rushed into the house under Zhuang Rou's curious gaze, flipped through the book casually and ran to the courtyard, sitting in front of the stone table in the courtyard and posing as if he was intoxicated by the book.
Monk Zhuang Rou was at a loss, and just when he was about to go over and ask him what the hell he was going to do, Ma Dezheng happily led a few people in, "Quick, please go, Sister Zhuang is here." โ
A woman dressed very festively, in her forties, walked in with two little maids, and saw Zhuang Rou standing in the courtyard at a glance, and immediately approached with a smile, "This must be Miss Zhuang Rouzhuang, she is really a delicate and lovely person, look at this figure, I promise to give birth to a big fat boy in the coming year." โ
Looking at this woman inexplicably, Zhuang Rou didn't like her eyes looking at her, and asked puzzledly, "Who are you?" โ
"The villain's surname is Zhao Mingxi, everyone calls me Xi Niang, I am the official media of the capital, and I came to see Miss Zhuang at the behest of the emperor." Zhao Xiniang said with a smile.
Zhuang Rou's eyes widened and she looked at her in surprise, "Huh? Emperor! "I didn't expect it to really come, I thought it was Chu Xia deceiving people.
Zhao Xiniang knew that if a civilian woman could get such a great grace, she would definitely be overwhelmed. She said happily: "This time, the emperor has given grace, and all the portraits he brought are of officials above the second grade and the sons and sons of the emperor's relatives and relatives. Since the founding of the country, even the princess has not had this blessing, and she can choose a husband from among the talents in the entire capital, and Miss Zhuang is the first one. โ
"Will they all marry me?" Zhuang Rou looked at him funny.
Zhao Xiniang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Of course I do, this is a great blessing, it is a marriage given by the emperor, how can I not want to." โ
Zhuang Rou nodded, then pointed to Chu Xia in the courtyard who was not seen by Zhao Xiniang and said, "You don't need to take out the ugly ones, pick them out for me if they look better than the King of Yindejun." โ
"Who?" Zhao Xiniang tilted her head to look, only to find that Chu Xia, who was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard and was concentrating on reading, suddenly trotted over and knelt on the ground, "The villain has seen the king of the county, just now the old eyes were dizzy, I didn't see the king of the county here, please atone for your sins." โ
Chu Xia put down the book, raised his head, and naturally exuded an aura of a superior who looked down on people, "Excuse me, get up." โ
Zhao Xiniang got up with a thousand thanks, rubbed her hands and didn't know how to continue. When it came to Chu Xia's generosity, he smiled slightly: "This king happened to be reading here, and I thought it was interesting to hear about it, so you took out those portraits that were better than this king and let this king take a look." โ
"Oh, the king of the county, how can there be a man in this Dahao country who looks better than you, the people in this portrait are compared with the king of the county, they are all dust on the ground." How dare she take it out, don't say no, even if she has, it won't work, this lord can't look down on others who look better than him. Of course, she can't find someone better-looking, isn't it embarrassing to take it out!
Zhuang Rou stopped doing it when she heard this, walked to Chu Xia's side, put her elbow on his shoulder, looked at Zhao Xiniang and said, "It's not as good-looking as the county king, so what else do you want to show me, they are all ugly men, take them away." When you go back, you will tell the emperor, I don't like it, it's too ugly. โ
Zhao Xiniang's eyes fell on her hand on Chu Xia's shoulder, and she was a little surprised in her heart, looking at her posture again, she hadn't broken the melon yet! I don't understand this.
"Look, there's a man who looks better than this, even if he asks for food, you can find it for me. If not, even if it is the emperor himself, I don't want it. Zhuang Rou reached out and pinched Chu Xia's chin, twisted his head towards Zhao Xiniang, and said cautiously.
And Chu Xia didn't get angry, just raised his chin and raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhuang Rou, "I'm afraid there is no better looking man in this world than me, if there is, find out and kill it." โ
Zhuang Rou looked at Zhao Xiniang, "Do you see clearly, it's better than this." โ
Zhao Xiniang was shocked, I was afraid that all the nobles in the capital would overturn the roof, but I didn't expect the rumor to be true, the king of Yinde County was hooked by a civilian woman outside!
No wonder, even the emperor was in a hurry, and he actually married this girl in person, this is to save the king of Yindejun!
