Chapter 35: Doing things professionally
"This grilled fish is good, with pepper and other spices, it is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, it is really fragrant."
Qing Fence grinned and added the chopped shallots, and said, "That's right, my craftsmanship is not bad." ”
"Not bad, not bad."
Miao Zhifeng and Qinghedge eat grilled fish around the stove in the courtyard, sandwich a little taste, and a little hot, eat a small bite, rub their little hands, very cute.
"It's been so long, why hasn't Chu Hui come back yet?" Stop the wind asked.
Qingli said: "Princess, what are you in a hurry, the prince is busy with the resettlement of the victims, and he will naturally come back." ”
In order to give the displaced victims a place to live, Chu Yu can be said to have whipped and kicked the reluctant Lord Chen out, surnamed Chen didn't know what tricks to play, he had diarrhea for a while, a headache for a while, and he just didn't want to take care of things.
After working for a long time, most of the people were finally settled, saying that the top boss Jiangzhou prefect came to inspect, Chen Boxian hurried back to the house with the master early in the morning, on the way, the master reminded: "My lord, the grain in the granary is not yet registered in the warehouse, and now it has been distributed. ”
"As soon as you say it, I'm worried, you say that Chu Hui won't come sooner or later, but at this time, come to raise the bar with me, Lord Li, the prefect of Jiangzhou, is the head of the word, if you offend him, I'm afraid it will be unsafe."
The master said: "It's a big deal, when you say, it was King Qi who forced you to do this, and the grain was originally to be dedicated to Lord Li, but there are so many disaster victims, it is difficult to say that you are sacrificing your life and doing your best for the people, so that the fault is not in you." ”
"Yes, then Li Daren is much more greedy than me, if he dares to think of reprimanding me, I will poke out the account of the corruption of grain funds allocated in the past few years to him to see who is afraid of whom."
The barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, Chen Boxian is the dog who jumps over the wall, whoever provokes him will bite whom.
Over there, as soon as Chu Yu was free, he received a letter from Dongxiao.
The letter reads: Sixth brother, we have arrived in Dongxiao safely, everything is fine, you don't have to worry. Draw the point, the fourth brother didn't come.
After Chu Yu read it, he casually threw the letter into the water and hooked the corners of his mouth contemptuously.
"Lausanne, I heard that someone from the county government is coming, let's go, let's do something big. Chu Hao lifted his robe, beckoned to Lausanne, and strode away.
Lausanne followed in small steps, he felt that the master was in a hurry, and it was estimated that there would be some moths again, so let's see the excitement.
At the same time, on the side of Dongxiao, the sun in mid-December was still a little hot at noon, and the people and horses on the road walked for many days, stopping under the shade of a tree.
The thin man took a water bag to Chu Yu, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "My lord, we have been walking for four days, and we don't even have an inn, and the border area of Dongxiao Kingdom is too desolate." ”
Chu Yu drank a few sips of water, he was also tired, he was a very delicate person in regular clothes, and he looked immature in official robes, with a thin and thin face, looking up, the curved outline of his jaw still looked a little like Chu Yu, and his eyes were just like the shade of the evergreen broad-leaved forest, and his unfocused gaze narrowed slightly, and he didn't know what to think, he should have looked farther away.
Chu Yu said: "Thin man, you are right, Dongxiao is indeed not as rich as our Nanchu, but it should not be underestimated, otherwise what would you and I do on this trip?" ”
The thin man agreed, "Your Excellency is right. Then let's hurry up, otherwise there will be any mistakes if we delay for too long, although the porcelain is properly placed and properly shaded, but the high temperature of the sun can still pass through, and I am afraid that the damage will be more serious. ”
Chu Yu nodded, "Let's go!" "He used to be cynical, but now he is a responsible and sunny teenager.
"Have you rested? After resting, we are about to go. The thin man became his right-hand man, clapping his hands and beckoning the brothers who were meditating on the spot to get up.
Then again, one side sighed, the other sobbed.
The situation over there in Xutai is already in full swing, waiting to be steamed, saying that King Qi wants to investigate the corruption case again, someone picked up the black yarn and stared at it urgently, several prefects and prefects in Linzhou counties occupy a fertile soil, and they are full of brains, and since they have been in office for so long, no one will pay special attention to the disaster relief money and food allocated by the imperial court every time, and Chu Hui will do things as soon as he comes, and the world will be turned upside down.
Li Daren, the prefect of Jiangzhou, said that he would give him a fake account book and let him check it slowly, but he didn't receive the edict, wait, wait for the holy decree to come, Chen Boxian came over and said, His Royal Highness King Qi, you can take it easy, don't hurt the pond fish, as if he was very innocent.
Li Daren breathed a long sigh of relief, and planned to ventilate behind his back and make some small moves.
At this time, there was another big news from Changjing, a thunderbolt on a sunny day, the emperor suddenly issued an order to marry the four princes and the lord of Xiangning County.
Commendable news came one after another.
For this reason, Su Ziyu also dropped her favorite pot of magnolia flowers, and her small mouth was full of words: "What flowers bloom and are talented and beautiful, if you want to bloom, it is with Brother Chu Yan, what does Chu Yan do, the emperor is eccentric!" ”
Dark Xiang was worried on the side, and she couldn't stop it if she wanted to, so she had to say hurriedly: "Miss, that's your favorite orchid, you have put so much effort into it, and I feel sorry for you if you fall it." ”
It was the first time for Su Ziyu to be so embarrassed, she sat on the ground, her hair was shaky, and she cried hysterically: "All hope is gone, what is the use of it, can it be exchanged for Brother Chu Hui's change of heart, can it be exchanged for peace and happiness in my life!" ”
The marriage contract has been decided, if you want to make trouble, if you don't make trouble, reading books and drinking tea is also a taste.
Therefore, King Sheng's Mansion was very quiet, Chu Yan held a cup of tea in his right hand and a book in his left hand, read it on the table, and said to himself: "My father and emperor have no mercy in the end, and they have attacked our mother and son." ”
Yingge, dressed in black, pushed the door in, brought a gust of wind, and said: "Your Highness, there is news from the palace that Chu Hao wants to check the account books of the grain payment in Xuantai, and suspects that the officials are corrupt. ”
"Oh?" Chu Yan's elegant appearance raised his eyebrows and said, "It's not a big deal, since the sixth brother wants to check, let him check." ”
Several officials of the prefect of Xutai County, almost all of them have attached themselves to King Sheng, and now King Sheng is not in the limelight, and it is understandable that they are less slack in the things they secretly pay tribute to, but their set of black-box operations is still related to King Sheng's Mansion.
Yingge was worried about his master, but King Sheng himself didn't care, blew the tea, took a sip, and concentrated on reading, I don't know if I read it or not, after all, there are no waves in the mood.
Then he took a pen and wrote a few lines of small letters, and as soon as the whistle blew, a gray dove flew up and threw it into the air, flapping its wings and disappearing into the same gray and black sky.
The night sky is getting colder and colder.
The procession to the eastern kingdom finally passed an inn, and the sorrow on everyone's faces faded and began to smile.
