Forty chapters
Chu Cheng didn't think she was capable.
She finally deceived Lin Boqin into a request, and before she could cover the heat, she used it out, which made her feel distressed.
On the way back, Chu Cheng kept thinking that when the time came right, she would have to ask Lin Boqin to agree to her five or ten requests, otherwise it would be easy to suffer losses when dealing with him.
Su Yu was very happy when she learned that Chu Cheng and Lin Boqin were going, and shouted to give them a drive, but Chu Cheng refused.
Usually it's nothing, but the road to Shiliwan is bumpy, and his ten-year-old child Chu Cheng can't bear to look at it.
On the appointed day, Chu Cheng packed up her baggage and waved goodbye to Mabi and Xidu. Lin Boqin stood next to him, his face calm, and he didn't look forward to the trip.
Because he quietly went to the countryside to investigate, Lin Boqin only took Yang La and Hu Yu, and the two were responsible for driving and fighting.
"My lord, these are a few towns to be inspected." Yang La handed over a list with a series of names written on it, "Gu Xiancheng said that there is a special person in charge of planting problems, and adults only need to encourage the people under their rule to cultivate diligently." When the time comes, the imperial court will send a supervisor of the imperial history and ask the people about it, which will also be of great help to your exams. β
Chu Cheng felt strange when she heard this, she stepped forward and said, "Lord Lin still needs to do superficial work?" I think he's very good. β
Serious, pragmatic, honest and honest. He does not bend the law for personal gain, does not take bribes and embezzles, does not bully others, and does not loot the people's ointment, for the people, this is simply a great good official.
But Lin Boqin, apparently thinking that she was being sarcastic, glanced at her, turned and pedaled into the carriage, without saying a word.
Chu Cheng rolled her eyes and said, "It's a pity that her temper is too bad!" β
Like a stone in a pit, it stinks and is hard.
Yang Lagan laughed twice and explained to Chu Cheng: "Madame doesn't know, every three years, the imperial history inspects the states and counties, and even if the local officials don't bribe, they will flatter and say some good things. In charge of the imperial history of Wangzhou, it has always been Lord Wu Guangbi Wu in the court, and Lord Lin doesn't like Lord Wu's style in the court, so over the years, he has just reported his official affairs step by step, not to mention flattery, and he hasn't even said a few words......"
"Wu Guangbi?"
Chu Cheng was stunned.
This person is very famous in the court.
Master Chen's protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world, and Wu Guangbi is one of them. He is best known not for his political achievements, but for his flattery.
One year, there was a heavy snowfall in the capital in winter, and it was extremely cold. Taishi Chen's feet were frozen out of sores, and the pus ulcerated for several days, and he did not get better after taking medicine for many days. The imperial doctor instructed that the pus should be sucked out of the medicine every time to get better quickly, and Wu Guangbi, who was the minister at the time, took the initiative to suck the pus for Taishi Chen, working from 9 to 5, very punctual.
Before that, Mrs. Chen didn't remember that there was such a student as him.
To be in the spring, Wu Guangbi gave an eight-grade to Shilang, stunned to go straight to the clouds, and sat down to the present from the five-grade supervision of the imperial history, and the scenery was immeasurable.
Wu Guangbi has a bad reputation, everyone in the court and China knows it, there are groups of concubines in the family, and he also has the top card of the Jade Building all the year round. But no one has ever impeached him, and Taishi Chen intends to defend it, but his father has always turned a blind eye and did not care.
No wonder Lin Boqin didn't have a good face for him.
His kind of person has clean sleeves, is honest and honest, and it is strange to look at Wu Guangbi!
Thinking about this, Chu Cheng also jumped into the carriage, lifted the curtain, and sat opposite Lin Boqin.
"Li Zhongyi, they are waiting outside the city, and we will go over to meet."
Lin Boqin's face was calm, looking at the scenery outside the car window, and did not answer.
Chu Cheng was angry when she saw his coffin face, but thinking that he had been quite miserable all these years, her tone couldn't help but soften a little: "I was indeed praising you just now, but you are good, I always feel like I am scolding you." Seeing that Lin Boqin was silent, she continued to speak sincerely, "Today, corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the DPRK and China are complicit, although you have a strange personality, you are really a good official. Although I usually quarrel with you, I still know it clearly in the face of right and wrong. β
Her words were earnest, and Lin Boqin's face moved slightly, and he glanced at her.
After a while, he said solemnly: "What do you know about the situation between the DPRK and China?" β
"Yes, yes, I don't understand, but I know you're a good officer, and that's enough." Chu Cheng put on a giggling appearance again, although Lin Boqin still had a straight face, his mood was much more relaxed in the end.
The carriage drove out of the city.
Su Yu saw Yang La and Hu Yu at a glance, and hurriedly jumped up and waved his hand: "Yang Zhutou, Hu Zhutou, we are here!" β
"Phew."
Yang Lacai stopped the carriage, and Chu Cheng jumped down and stepped forward to hold Su Yu's hand.
Liang Xiuyun stood beside her, looking at Chu Cheng, a little frightened.
She seemed to remember that Chu Cheng had hurt her shoulder......
Li Zhongyi walked over at this time and arched his hand to Chu Cheng: "Mrs. Lin, I plan to go to Shiliwan first, burn paper and incense for my deceased wife, and then go to Baihua Valley on the way back, I don't know what to do?" β
Chu Cheng frowned, glanced at the people in the carriage, and said, "Uncle Li, can you go to the Valley of Hundred Flowers first?" At that time, we will go to worship the first lady together, and by the way, we will visit Shiliwan. Because on the way back, I will go to other towns and villages with my husband to persuade farmers to teach agriculture, and I am afraid that I will not be able to go back to the county seat with you. β
Li Zhong was resolute and nodded again and again: "Of course you can, according to what Mrs. said, let's go to Baihua Valley first." β
Chu Cheng returned to the carriage and told Lin Boqin the general route, but Lin Boqin did not refute it.
He just said lightly: "Don't delay too long on the road." β
"Understood."
Chu Ji sat down with her hands on her knees, but she was rarely well-behaved and obedient.
The two didn't talk much along the way.
Lin Boqin either read the book, or closed his eyes and sat upright, and he could see that he was a rigid and serious person without speaking.
Chu Cheng couldn't stay idle.
She talked to Su Yu and Li Zhongyi through the car window, from the gossip and trivial things in Qingyuan County to the local characteristics of Shiliwan, one kan is an afternoon. I drank two sips of water when I was thirsty, and then went to chat with Yang Lahu Yu and them, jumping up and down, and no one stopped.
The road to Shiliwan is rugged and steep, not just for fun.
Yang Lahuyu took turns driving, always controlling his speed, for fear that the horse would stumble and accidentally fall off the cliff.
In the evening, there is still a long way to go from Shiliwan, it is not safe to drive at night, fortunately there is an inn on the side of the road, and after several people discussed, they decided to rest here for a night.
The inn is not big, it looks like it is newly built, and the paint at the door is still very new, hidden in the trees and grass, and I am afraid that I will miss it if I don't take a serious look.
Li Zhongyi took Su Yu and smiled at Chu Cheng and said, "Xu hasn't been to Shiliwan for too long, and I don't even know when an inn was built here." β
The group came to the inn and walked into the lobby, and the shopkeeper turned out to be a woman with still charm.
She was wearing a new soft satin skirt with new flowers, and the two balls on her chest were only half wrapped, and she was about to come out. Yang Lahu Yu smiled narrowly, lowered his head and didn't know what he was whispering.
"Are you going to play the top or stay in the hotel?"
The beautiful woman was lying on the counter, her body plump and bewitching.
Chu Yu hurriedly covered Su Yu's eyes and said, "Eight people, come to five rooms." β
She's one by herself, of course.
"Five? I'm sorry, but we're small, and we've almost lived in it, with only three rooms left. The beautiful woman smiled, "One is a little bigger, and two are a little smaller, both upstairs at the corner." β
Chu Cheng wanted to say more, so he heard Li Zhongyi say: "It's okay, it's okay, three rooms are enough." Yu'er lived with his mother, his wife lived with adults, and I squeezed together with the coachman, Yang Zhutou, and Hu Zhutou. β
Hu Yuyangla naturally nodded in agreement.
Chu Cheng glanced at Lin Boqin behind him, Lin Boqin was helpless, so he stood up and asked, "Can that big room be squeezed into five?" β
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him.
Li Zhongyi was even more puzzled: "Lord Lin, you and your wife can live in the same room, why do you come to squeeze with us?" β
Lin Boqin said.
He didn't know how to answer because it really didn't make sense.
When the shopkeeper of the beautiful woman saw Lin Boqin's long body, her eyes lit up, and she covered her mouth and laughed: "This son is so rich and handsome." The four people in that room were a little cramped, and the five people would definitely not be able to sleep, but ...... The slave family lives alone in the backyard room, if the son does not dislike it, he can squeeze with the slave family at night. β
She sent autumn waves to Lin Boqin, and Lin Boqin saw that she was frivolous and unfeeling, and immediately wrinkled his eyebrows and was displeased.
"I want to squeeze you by yourself, don't you see that this is my husband?"
Chu Cheng strode forward and stood in front of Lin Boqin.
Obviously, she was petite and couldn't cover anything, but Lin Boqin felt more steady.
The beautiful woman brushed the hair around her ears, but sneered, "If you and he are husband and wife, why do you need five rooms when you come up?" Why does this son want to squeeze with others? β
Chu Cheng sneered: "I quarreled with my husband, what do you care?" Even if I want fifty rooms, five hundred rooms, you don't want to sleep in a room with him! She knew what women hated to hear the most, so she glanced at each other up and down, and snorted, "I don't look in the mirror, I'm old, and I still think about other people's husbands, and I dress up, do you open an inn or a green building?" β
Lin Boqin heard what she said more and more excessively, hurriedly pulled her aside, frowned, and said, "Don't talk about foul language." β
The beautiful woman trembled with anger at Chu Cheng's words.
Why is she so old?
But she had to admit that Chu Cheng in front of her was as radiant as snow, as bright as spring, and extremely beautiful, which made her ashamed of herself.
For a while, I couldn't find a rebuttal.
Li Zhongyi couldn't see it, and came up to play a round: "Don't be angry, the shopkeeper is indeed husband and wife, and they just quarreled over a trivial matter, and they were awkward." He took out the silver from his bosom, "Give us three rooms, and ask Xiao Er to bring some food." β
The beautiful woman's face softened.
She accepted the money and resumed her previous lazy and charming state: "If it weren't for the fact that the rest of you are still honest, I wouldn't have done this business." Isn't it just a joke, but it makes people bury it all the way! Then he glanced at Chu Shen, and his gaze was not good.
