Chapter 17: Reconciliation
Sheng Qian intends to reconcile with Yun Niang, and his temperament also seems to be very peaceful. Yun Niang was still angry in her heart, she only cared about picking vegetables for Lingzhu, and Huang's mother on the side couldn't see it, so she glanced at her a few times, but she just didn't see it.
Sheng Qian was a little restless during the whole meal, but Yun Niang didn't even have a good look. When Huang's mother put away the dishes and chopsticks, Ma Liu'er next to him said something next to his ear, and soon Sheng Qian got up, "I'll go back to the study, there are some things." β
Yun Niang didn't look up at him either. The two had not spoken for a long time since that day.
Sheng Qian lowered his eyes, and in his heart he also knew that he had done too much that day, she didn't know anything from beginning to end, but she was suspected by him for no reason. But most men have such a problem, he hopes that his wife is sensible and considerate, he hopes that she will be considerate of himself, and some words of apology are really unspeakable.
Sheng Qian left, and Mingzhu also put down his chopsticks, "Mother? β
"Nan, I know it in my heart." Yun Niang said, "I won't embarrass him for a long time." β
In the end, why did she suspect that her daughter also told her the cause and effect? Like Sheng Mingzhu, Yun Niang was angry and wanted to laugh at first, but now she is still angry, he has never asked her, nor has he believed her.
But even so, he tolerated it for ten years under what he thought.
Yun Niang has never had a stable mind in Shengfu, especially when she is about to go to the capital in the next few days. She Liu Yun is just a country woman, she has never been to the capital, let alone a big man like Grandpa Guo, she is afraid that she will not dare to meet those women and nobles in the capital, she is afraid of making a mistake.
I am even more afraid that if something goes wrong with me, the two children will be affected, especially Sheng Qian, who has been near and far away over the years. Now that I understand, I gave up. A man is willing to wear a green hat for her for ten years, at least no matter what, she doesn't have to worry about how she will deal with herself after entering the capital.
At least she should have some place in his heart.
ββ
"As the gentleman said, I have this account book in my hand."
This account book is a hot potato, Sheng Qian can see it. If it weren't for this, no one would have been calculating his small annexed state city since ten years, "and the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes along the prefecture have been merged for many years." This account book should be very desirable for the household. β
Although the Great Wei entered the customs, he did not understand the rules and regulations under the rule of the Han people, and followed the rules of the Han people, but it caused chaos in the court. To this day, it is not so much that the Great Wei is in power, but that the Great Wei and the family are in power together. Although the city of Bingzhou is far away from the capital, it can be since Sheng Qian arrived, with a fruitful annual output, and now it has been more than ten years, and I am afraid that all kinds of taxes have already exceeded 10 million taels.
And naturally, all this money will not be given to the treasury. The family built attics and entertained guests and even royal relatives. Not long after the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, it was already in ruins, and if you want to be extravagant, you can only find a way to divert money.
If Sheng Qian came back today and brought back this book, the money in the treasury would be clear, and the emperor would not be stupid. No one is willing to spit out the money they have eaten, and if this matter is really opened, it is difficult to guarantee that it is not a major corruption case.
"What are you going to do with it?"
Guan Ping lowered his eyes and looked at Sheng Qian, he was actually willing to raise his hand to help Sheng Qian. After all, if the Sheng family saved him, it depends on what this person thinks, if he wants to be a loyal minister and be loyal to the emperor, it will be his own death, and ten horses will not be able to stop him.
Sheng Qian took out the account book from his arms, "Mr. is extraordinary. Since he had a vision, he was cheeky and handed over to Mr. for safekeeping. This is also the best way Sheng Qian can think of, the scene in Nannan's dream is simple, but he knows that it is far more complicated than that-such as the Sheng family in the capital, such as his mother Song Taijun, she also wants it.
He is the youngest son in the family, and he has never been loved by his mother as an eldest brother. was sent to the state city again, his mother cared about his backyard and wanted to harm Yun Niang, and what she wanted was not to put her own backhouse into her hands. Sheng Qian has never been a stupid person, he can naturally see through it when he thinks it through, this account book has always been pinched in his hand, and the harm can only be his wife, son and daughter.
The Jiang family, the Sheng family, and even the Great Wei royal family, none of them can be easily shaken by his small mansion.
"My lord's trick is really good." Guan Ping smiled, reached out and picked up the account book, and got up from the chair. He is half a head taller than Sheng Qian, Da Wei Shang has a thin waist, he is dressed in a black robe, and his wind and bones are craggy, "Then store it here for the time being." I think that the money in it will be taken from the people, and it will be used by the people in the future. β
Sheng Qian understood the meaning of his words, and his heart calmed down for a while, "What Mr. means, Sheng understands." If there is a day, I am willing to follow the work of dogs and horses. "Learn to become a martial artist and give it to the emperor's family. At the beginning of being an official, what I didn't want was to seek the well-being of the people.
The two talked for a while, and now that the account books are over, they just need to deal with the family studies and their relatives in the state, and the group is about to leave. Sheng Qian quickly left the house, Guan Ping stayed alone for a while, and felt bored, so he moved the kite out and went to the courtyard to watch the scenery for a while.
ββ
"Mr. Guan, has Yaxing playing the piano in the courtyard today?"
Sheng Mingzhu passed by the courtyard and happened to see Guan Ping. Because the gray clothes were so easy to use, she was embarrassed to pretend not to see it.
Guan Ping glanced at her, "I'm about to leave, and I'm a little reluctant to see the scenery here." Take a look at it. β
"Is Mr. Guan leaving?"
It was the height of summer, Sheng Mingzhu was young, wearing a cool pink short coat, and her white and tender forearms were slightly exposed. Maybe he had just come back from outside, and his face was slightly red. At the age of thirteen, the young princess in the palace is almost the same - such a look, such a figure, should be a girl who smiles and rejoices in the arms of people.
"You have to go."
Guan Ping beckoned, and a lady suddenly stepped out of the room, holding a cat in her arms that had always been pure white, only her eyes were green. Turning around, it looks cute, it is estimated that any girl has no resistance to such a natural cute thing, Sheng Mingzhu instantly squatted down and gently touched the kitten's head.
The cat was not afraid of her, and with a whin, her little head rubbed against her palm.
Itchy, Sheng Mingzhu couldn't help laughing. Guan Ping looked at it from the side, his heart was itchy, so he pressed the wrench at hand with his right hand, "Do you like it?" This is one of the prettiest cats in the shop. β
His voice was clear, Sheng Mingzhu raised his head, and met a pair of phoenix eyes that towered into the sideburns, and the corners of his eyes were wide and swung like a fishtail, which was very gorgeous.
Sheng Mingzhu hugged the cat, and it was rare to see a man who looked like him was so gorgeous, wearing plain clothes and like this, he wanted to be dressed in gorgeous wisps, and he was afraid that he would be blind when he went out. The kitten licked her fingers, Sheng Mingzhu reacted, nodded and said, "I've never seen a cat like this, chubby, with such long fluff and green eyes, very beautiful." β
"This cat was originally Tuoba's," Guan Ping explained, "Later, the Tuoba royal family entered the customs and became the Great Wei, and the cat followed." β
Sheng Mingzhu only had cats in his heart, and he didn't notice the casualness of mentioning the royal family in his mouth. He just nodded, and touched the cat's chin againβ
Ping'er has been huddled in the house for the past few days, and she didn't dare to come out. After all, I was scolded by Sheng Qian in those days, and few girls have such a thick skin. originally thought that my aunt should be able to remember her, but people's hearts are flesh and blood, and their hearts are compared to their hearts, and their niece treats her like this, Yun Niang doesn't have much thought, so she has ignored this niece in the past few days.
"Who's that guy?" From a distance, I saw Sheng Mingzhu squatting on the ground, and I also saw the man on the chair.
Guan Ping's appearance is good, from head to toe white flesh, even if he is dressed in cloth, it is not difficult to see that he is born rich. Ping'er walked more and more, and after seeing her face clearly, she was a little flustered, leaning to the side and watching, and the maid passing by listened to her question and replied, "That's Mr. Guan, the master's guest." β
Uncle's guest, looking at his conversation and bearing, is not an ordinary background. As soon as Ping'er's eyes turned, she remembered the origin of this Mr. Guan, as if he was injured and came to the house to recuperate, as if his uncle met a bandit on the road and was rescued by him.
"You wait...... Ping'er stopped the maid who was leaving, "give me the tea, I'll just bring it over." β
"Miss Ping'er, this plate is hot, you beware ......"
Before the maid could finish speaking, she had already walked by.
Sheng Mingzhu was teasing the cat on the ground, but she didn't see anyone coming, but Guan Ping saw it, and lowered her head to continue to look at the little girl who teased the cat. The cat barked softly, and kept licking her hands, Sheng Mingzhu's heart melted, and she raised her eyes and looked at Guan Ping, "Uncle Guan, does the cat have a name?" β
This little girl has a straightforward personality, she has always had something to do, and she has nothing to do in summer and spring. Guan Pingsheng received this uncle, and he didn't smile, "It's just been a month, less than half the size of a palm, and I haven't had time to name it yet." β
"That'sβ"
"Beware!" Guan Ping got up from the chair and pulled Sheng Mingzhu behind him. Ping'er took the tea and walked over, the tea tray was swaying, it had already fallen down, the cat couldn't dodge, and ran away screaming with the wet cat hair.
"Is it hot?" Guan Ping asked, and Sheng Mingzhu shook his head. "Don't worry, it's frightened and should shrink back and go inside." β
Ping'er bit her lip and looked at the two of them with a worried expression, "I didn't mean to. "She really didn't mean it, that tray was hot. Sheng Mingzhu looked at her, "You didn't mean it?" Serving tea and handing water is the work of the subordinate, you are my cousin, why do you do such a job? You didn't mean it, did you hold a grudge in your heart and have the intention of burning me? β
"Don't spew blood. I just heard that Mr. Guan was injured in order to save his uncle, and it happened that the maid had something to do, so I helped her? β
Sheng Mingzhu doesn't have any good feelings for Ping'er now, so naturally he won't save any face, "You heard that Mr. Guan was injured?" My cousin is righteous in her heart, and even her aunt can kill her relatives in public when she speaks for others, and now she doesn't hesitate to burn her hands for an outsider, what kind of thoughts do you have to be stupid for others? He looked at Guan Ping again, "Mr. Guan, it seems that you are someone else who is a golden turtle." β
Ping'er's eyes widened, she didn't expect Sheng Mingzhu to say it directly, no matter how much she thought about it. He looked at Mr. Guan again, and found that he looked at himself with a dark and indifferent color, so he could no longer hold back, and covered his face with a handkerchief and ran quickly.
