Chapter VI
Idle is also idle, Chu Cheng is a muffled person again.
She trotted forward and walked side by side with Lin Boqin: "Lord Lin, you are also the county magistrate of a county, why do you live in such a shabby place?" She has also been to many townships and counties along the way, and the county officials' mansions next to them are the worst compounds with three entrances and three exits, and she really doesn't understand such a small place as Lin Boqin lives.
Lin Boqin glanced at her, thinking that her previous husband was a rich man, and the place where she wanted to live was naturally better than here.
He frowned and said, "The place where people rest is only the abbot, what is the use of living well?" Brocade clothes and food, glory and wealth, not what I want. ”
Chu Cheng rolled her eyes, why did she teach her again?
She walked around to the other side of Lin Boqin and said, "Yes, yes, yes, this reason." Let me ask something else...... Ah, by the way, for example, that Miss Ye, she had a fever the year before last, and you stayed up all night to take care of her? And let her strip naked and wipe her body? ”
When Lin Boqin heard this, he almost stumbled, and he paused: "As a woman, how can you ask...... Ask such shameless words! ”
"Then you say yes."
"It's not!"
Chu Cheng didn't believe it, but she had listened to the gossip all night, how could she be denied at once.
"Miss Ye was bitten by a snake on the leg, and you used your mouth to suck poisonous blood on her, is there such a thing?"
"Nope!"
"Miss Ye is sick and can't drink the medicine, so you hold her and feed her spoonful by spoonful?"
"Nope!"
"Miss Ye fell down the mountain with you, and you hugged the ...... to keep warm"
"Enough!" Lin Boqin really couldn't listen to it anymore, and he was insulting, "Where did you hear all this nonsense and nonsense?" ”
Chu Cheng immediately answered: "Miss Ye." ”
When Lin Boqin heard this, he frowned: "Ye Fangxuan told you?" ”
Chu Ji said with an innocent and ignorant face: "Who is Ye Fangxuan?" That Miss Ye? Actually, it's not what she told me, she asked her maid Qingmei, the two maids she told me, and then I knew all about it. ”
When Lin Boqin heard this, his eyes darkened.
Seeing this, Chu Cheng snorted coldly in her heart, what is Miss Ye, Chu Cheng took the words she said at the beginning seriously, but when she saw Lin Boqin later, she knew that Miss Ye was completely writing and acting by herself. Since she deliberately let herself respond, why didn't she let her lover respond?
Lin Boqin is indeed very responsive.
He frowned and said: "Ye Fangxuan is my distant cousin, last year her hometown was flooded, so she moved to Qingyuan County, I didn't know her well before." Lin Boqin didn't know why he wanted to say this to Chu Cheng, so he paused for a moment before he said again, "Those are all non-existent things, don't take them seriously." ”
Chu Cheng didn't take it seriously, and even the last two things to keep warm and feed the medicine herself, all of them were made up by herself.
She smiled sweetly at Lin Boqin: "Since Lord Lin said that, of course I won't believe it." ”
Lin Boqin only felt that her smile was too bright, and she looked away unnaturally.
While the two were talking, they had already come to the place where Mrs. Lin lived.
Mrs. Lin was sitting at the table drinking white rice porridge.
Seeing the two walking side by side, I saw my sister's appearance clearly, and suddenly my smiling eyes narrowed into a slit.
"It's good, it's good." Mrs. Lin put down the dishes and chopsticks, "What do you mean by that...... Yes, it is a perfect match! ”
As soon as she praised her like this, Chu Cheng glanced at Lin Boqin next to her. Only then did he notice that he was wearing a moon white collar today, and a blue dark cloud pattern bottom, which made his figure stand tall. And because she didn't wake up, she casually asked Xi Dusk to hand over an embroidered cardigan skirt, but she didn't expect it to be blue.
At first glance, they are really talented and beautiful, complementing each other.
Old Madam Lin took a red purse and handed it to Chu Hui: "Siniang, I don't often live in Qinghe County, and I don't have the energy to take care of Boqin. In the future, the burden of taking care of the inner house and taking care of Berchin will all be on you. ”
"Mother is polite, since it is a family, this is all within my responsibility."
Chu Cheng smiled softly and took the purse.
Old Madam Lin said something to her again, Chu Cheng nodded to indicate that she remembered, the three of them had breakfast together, Old Madam Lin wanted to take a nap, Chu Cheng and Lin Boqin said goodbye and left.
Chu Cheng pinched the purse and looked at it, and there were five taels of silver inside.
She handed it to Lin Boqin.
Lin Boqin was stunned for a moment and asked, "What does this mean?" ”
"Here you go."
"This is a welcome gift for the bride, what are you going to do for me?"
Chu Cheng squinted at him and asked, "I'm not a bride either, am I?" ”
When Lin Boqin heard this, his face sank slightly.
Chu Cheng didn't have a good heart, she meant that they were not newlyweds in this way of getting along, but looking at Lin Boqin's appearance, she understood another meaning. Chu Cheng was about to explain, when she saw Lin Boqin glance at her and diverted the topic: "The county government still has official business to be busy, you get up early and work hard, go back to the house to rest." ”
"Lord Lin!"
Chu Cheng hurriedly stopped him: "Can I go to the county government with you?" ”
Lin Boqin didn't expect her to make this request, stared at her and asked, "Why?" ”
Chu Cheng couldn't tell him, he wanted to go and see if his sea fishing documents had been issued. I had to put on a shy face and said: "I am not familiar with the place in Qingyuan County, not to mention the name of your wife, but I don't even know where the gate of the county government is open, and I am afraid that it will be a joke to say it." ”
Her reminder, Lin Boqin felt that too.
Then he said, "Okay, you go with me." ”
Walking on the street, Chu Cheng was a little weak-hearted, and looked east and west along the way, for fear of seeing the portrait of himself wanted by Zhang Bang.
Lin Boqin thought she was a novelty, and asked, "You are in Yunzhou, don't you have these on the street?" ”
Chu Cheng came back to her senses and said with a dry smile: "Yes, yes, but I don't often come to the street, so I rarely see it." ”
Lin Boqin wanted to ask her why she didn't often go on the street, but suddenly remembered that the county Cheng Fang Shuangping had chatted with him, saying that some men would stop them from going to the street if they married beautiful concubines, so as not to provoke wild bees and butterflies to peep. Thinking of this, he glanced at Chu Cheng beside him, although he was dressed plainly and ordinary, his complexion was very conspicuous.
Chu Cheng saw that Lin Boqin didn't speak for a long time, and she had nothing to say: "Qingyuan County is still peaceful, right?" Busy? ”
Lin Boqin's expression was cold: "It's okay." ”
Chu Ji was depressed in her heart, looking at this appearance, she seemed to have made this Lord Lin unhappy again.
Lin Boqin couldn't say what he was feeling in his heart. Since he agreed to this marriage, he has already persuaded himself not to mind Li Siniang's past. But every time I think about it, it's a little uncomfortable after all. Fortunately, Li Siniang was very knowledgeable and did not entangle him.
The two didn't say anything all the way.
The county government is facing the street, passing through the archway, and it is the instrument gate. On the east side, there is a drum of shouting, there is a stone tablet on the west side, which is engraved with "false accusation plus three grades, the more sue flogging fifty", the plaque of the pavilion body is hung in the middle of the instrument door, the book "Qingyuan County Ya", there is a sword officer standing on the left and right sides of the door, looking very majestic.
When the two officials saw Lin Boqin, they were both surprised and hurriedly stepped forward to greet each other.
One of them smiled and asked, "My lord, you only got married yesterday, why did you come here so early today......" Before he finished speaking, another official hurriedly poked him with his elbow and motioned for Chu Cheng to stand next to him and told him not to talk nonsense.
Lin Boqin's expression was as usual, and he said lightly: "This is Madame." ”
"Hello ma'am."
The two of them hurriedly bowed to Chu Hui.
Chu Cheng smiled: "You guys are okay too." ”
When she smiled, the two servants stared at her, thinking that this lady who had been married three times seemed to be different from what she imagined......
Lin Boqin lowered his eyes and asked Chu Hui: "The county government is not big, do you still want to go in?" ”
"Go, of course."
Chu Cheng hurriedly said: "Lord Lin is tired to lead the way." ”
Lin Boqin no longer looked at Chu Hui, and he didn't seem to be very happy with his expression, and Chu Xi didn't bother to please him. Although Lin Boqin's expression was cold, he still took her around.
The population of Qingyuan County is not much, the county government is not large, after the Yimen, go inside a hundred meters, is the public hall, on the book "mirror hanging" four words. Passing through the screen door, it is the second hall, and the corridor on the left side of the second hall goes inside, which is the torture room and prison. Behind the second hall is the third hall, only a few simple green tile houses, usually Lin Boqin handles official business, and will stay here late at night.
Chu Cheng looked around carefully, but did not find any documents about his sea fishing.
She was guessing what was going on, when she heard footsteps in the corridor ahead, and looked over to see a man in a green cloth robe walking briskly.
The man was in his thirties, his face was white and beardless, he was full of energy, and he looked kind.
"Your Excellency, you're here."
Lin Boqin raised his hand slightly and said, "This is Qingyuan County, Fang Shuangping." ”
"Fang Xiancheng." Chu Cheng smiled and nodded.
Fang Shuangping's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Such a heavenly posture, it must be the newly married lady of the adult." ”
Chu Cheng said modestly: "Fang County has won the award. ”
"Wherever, our county magistrate never brought people to the yamen before."
"Really?" Chu Cheng was absent-minded, because she noticed that Fang Shuangping was holding something in his hand, which was faintly stamped with a red seal.
Chu Cheng's heart suddenly tightened, and she asked as if unintentionally: "What good thing is Fang Xiancheng holding in his hand?" ”
Fang Shuangping let out an "oh" and raised the paper in his hand: "I was just about to tell my lord that I just received a sea fishing document sent by the imperial court, saying that it was to arrest a Jiangyang thief who did all kinds of evil, Yu Xuanji, and let us find a painter to paint enough 100 pieces and paste them all over Qingyuan County within half a month." I think about it, we don't have good painters in Qingyuan County, only adults Danqing are outstanding, I'm afraid I'm going to be tired of one or two. ”
Lin Boqin was about to take over the portrait, but Chu Cheng hurriedly interrupted him with an "ouch": "My lord, you said that you took me to visit the county government, how can you have so many endless words with Fang Xiancheng?" ”
Her attitude was really abrupt and she didn't understand the etiquette, Fang Shuangping looked at her with some surprise, puzzled in his heart, looking at the woman who was quite dignified and polite, she didn't expect to be so rude.
Lin Boqin didn't want her to continue hanging around here, so he waved his hand at Fang Xiancheng: "Put it on my desk first." ”
"Yes." Fang Shuangping glanced at Chu Cheng, turned around and went to a blue-tiled house in the middle.
Lin Boqin thought about taking Chu Cheng around and sending her back, but he didn't expect that within half an hour of leaving, he saw Chu Cheng holding his forehead, biting his lip, and looking uncomfortable: "Suddenly my head is so dizzy......"
"I'll hire a carriage to take you back."
Where is Chu Ji willing to do it, she held Lin Boqin's arm: "No, no, no, my head is so dizzy, Lord Lin, why don't you let me go to your study to rest for a while, and then send me back to the house?" I'm dizzy now, and I'm afraid that if I get into the carriage, my condition will get worse. She was about to cry when she spoke, Lin Boqin was afraid that something would happen to her, and when the time came, Mrs. Lin would blame, and he would not be able to defend herself.
“…… Okay, you rest in the study first, and I'll let someone find a doctor. ”
Chu Cheng hurriedly thanked her, held her forehead, and pretended to be dizzy and helped into the study. On the west side of the study, there was a soft couch against the wall, and Chu Cheng lay on it, and said weakly: "Lord Lin, I'll rest for a while...... Go and get me a doctor. ”
Lin Boqin glanced at the door and nodded hesitantly.
