The twilight is faint and the mist is dark.

Chu Cheng returned to Lin Mansion, and she still missed the action of juju just now. She jumped up and down along the way, and when she saw a stone in the middle of the road, she stretched out her foot and kicked it around, and had a lot of fun.

At this moment, the door "creaked" open, but Lin Boqin walked out.

He did not wear an official uniform, but put on a cyan Guangling gown, with a light-colored moire belt tied around his waist, and his figure was slender, and in the twilight, he was even more chic and elegant.

Chu Cheng hurriedly retracted her feet and stood up straight, and greeted him: "What do you eat at night?" ”

Lin Boqin was stunned, and then said: "I'll come back to change my clothes, and I'll go to the yamen to do things later, you can eat by yourself." Somehow, he added, "No need to wait for me." ”

After speaking, he was about to leave, and Chu Cheng hurriedly followed him, following suit: "Leaving again?" Since the conclusion of Qian Gao's case, you seem to be very busy, but I asked Gu Jingtong, and he said that you are fine? Lin Boqin frowned slightly and explained: "The documents for the conscription of the imperial court in September have been issued, and there are some things that I still need to see in person. ”

The Great Yuan Dynasty would recruit troops in September every three years, and this Chu Ji knew.

But she still didn't quite understand: "Just post a notice at the gate of the city to recruit soldiers, it's not wartime, and this dynasty doesn't force conscription, whoever wants to sign up can come, just leave these trivial things to the people below." ”

Lin Boqin didn't expect her to know this, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "No matter what, it's better to do it yourself." ”

Chu Zhen really didn't know how to refute this.

Lin Boqin likes to do his best in everything, even if it is a trivial matter.

But Chu Hui, as a woman's sixth sense, always felt that there was something wrong with Lin Boqin, and when she saw Lin Boqin walking away again, she simply stomped her feet and yelled at his back: "Lin Boqin, do you hate me?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Lin Boqin's pace came to an abrupt halt.

He frowned, turned around, and walked to Chu Hui's side again: "What are you talking about?" ”

"Don't you hate me?" Chu Cheng covered her face and pretended to cry, "If it weren't for the last time I kindly gave you medicine, you would definitely not want to pay attention to me." Originally, I thought that you were not in good health some time ago, so you were cold and indifferent to me, but I didn't expect you to eat and sleep well recently, but you are still like this. You don't hate me, what's that? ”

Speaking of this, Chu Cheng dragged out her voice again, very aggrieved: "I haven't been willful these days, I make pastries and sleep at home every day, I'm afraid of making you angry, but what about you?" If you don't want to raise me for nothing, then write a letter of resignation, and let's break up. ”

When Lin Boqin heard her words, he was a little unhappy: "I didn't mean that. ”

Chu Cheng pretended to cry there and didn't answer.

She knew that Lin Boqin would eat soft or hard, and sure enough, Lin Boqin's tone was softer, and he took out a money bag from his arms: "I've been really busy with affairs recently, and here is half a year's worth of money, you can take it to buy pastries and preserves." ”

Chu Cheng didn't see the money, she thought that she would buy honey tomorrow, so she grabbed the money bag, checked it, and showed a smile like a fox: "But I don't want pastry preserves, I want you...... Play with me. Lin Boqin's cheeks burned slightly, she saw through her usual tricks, and her tone was cold: "Okay, then you can copy each of the four books and the five classics." ”

"What?"

"Playing with you."

"......," Chu Cheng snorted, "You're just boring." ”

Lin Boqin didn't know why, so he said casually: "Sheng Feng is humorous, you can go to him." ”

Chu Cheng frowned when she heard this, and thought to herself, although the two are fake husband and wife, they have to pretend to be a little bit on the surface, and she understands the reason for avoiding suspicion with other men, Lin Boqin is still so big-hearted? Thinking of this, Chu Cheng glanced at him again, thinking of Li Siniang who eloped with Lu Feixing, and secretly sighed that Lin Boqin was really a green turtle.

Lin Boqin saw that she didn't speak, and thought that she was thinking about the possibility of this matter, and his face couldn't help but be a little cloudy.

However, at this moment, he saw Chu Cheng smiling sweetly at him, beautiful and vulgar: "Really? But no matter how funny and humorous others are, I don't like it. Although my husband is boring, he is more in line with my heart. ”

Lin Boqin didn't expect her to say that.

But her words are always true and false, and they are elusive.

The woman's eyes were fluttering, and she was charming and moving, Lin Boqin felt that her smile was a little dazzling, looked away, and said lightly: "Okay, I'll go first." ”

Chu Cheng looked at his back, pursed her lips, threw away the money bag in her hand and caught it, and asked loudly: "Xi Dusk, Mobi, what are we going to eat at night?" ”

***

The next day, the sky was bright, and Chu Cheng was ready to make cloud cakes.

This cloud cake must be made of glutinous rice, sesame seeds, lard, etc., among which honey is the most important, if the honey is not delicious, the cloud cake is not delicious.

Chu Cheng didn't know the specific method, but she wanted to try.

Twilight and Maunbi went to East Street to buy other ingredients, and she went to West Street to buy honey.

Honey in the Great Yuan Dynasty is a rare item, and it is generally not sold in small counties, but fortunately it is available in a grocery store in Qingyuan County. But Chu Cheng didn't expect that the outside of the grocery store was usually crowded, but today it was surrounded by people on the inside and outside of the three floors, which was impermeable.

She squeezed for a while and couldn't squeeze in, so she asked the person watching the excitement next to her: "Auntie, what's wrong?" ”

The aunt said "oh" and explained, "Nizi from the grocery store was caught stealing money." ”

Chu Cheng didn't understand too much, and finally pushed through the crowd to the front, and saw a shirtless man with five big and three thick, dragging a little girl.

The little girl couldn't stop crying, it was Xie Tongtong.

The shirtless man was in his thirties, dragging Xie Tongtong and not letting go, but said viciously to the onlookers: "I just picked something in the grocery store, this little girl actually stole my silver while I wasn't paying attention!" I caught it and didn't admit it, look, let's see! Look at what the family surnamed Xie raises! ”

Xie Tongtong's eyes were red and swollen, and he cried: "Nonsense...... I—I didn't steal your money, you deliberately stuffed it into me!" ”

"Hey, you stinky girl, you dare to hit a rake!" The shirtless man said and slapped Xie Tongtong on the head.

Xie Tongtong was in pain, "wow", and cried even louder.

The shirtless man threatened: "If you don't call your sister over today, I will arrest you and report to the official!" If you dare to steal from me, I'm afraid you don't want to live! ”

"Don't you think! Don't you think! My sister won't see you! Xie Tongtong cried hoarsely, but he didn't forget to refute him.

The shirtless man was annoyed and raised his hand to hit her, but suddenly a crisp voice sounded: "Stop—"

Everyone looked back, but it was Chu Cheng who stood up.

She walked up to Xie Tongtong, raised her hand and hit the back of the shirtless man's hand, and scolded: "Let go!" ”

Xie Tongtong saw that it was her, crying and breaking free from the shackles, and stepped forward to hug Chu Cheng's waist: "Madam! I didn't steal, he ...... He wanted to see my sister, but my sister was not there, so he framed me. No matter how poor Tongtong is, he will not steal other people's money! ”

Chu Cheng touched her hair soothingly: "Don't cry, don't cry." ”

When the shirtless man saw Chu Cheng, his eyes lit up: "Who are you?" Why meddle? ”

Chu Cheng had a cold face and asked, "Then who are you?" Slandering a little girl in vain, this kind of thing is also done? ”

"Who said Lao Tzu slandered her? It's obvious that she is beating a rake. The shirtless man showed a silver ingot in his hand, "She stole my money, did you see it?" If you want to settle this matter, either let her sister marry me, or ......" He glanced up and down, "It's better for you to marry me." ”

Chu Cheng almost laughed angrily, stood up and dusted her sleeves: "Let's go to the yamen to say this." ”

The shirtless man was stunned: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Chu Cheng smiled: "You said that Xie Tongtong stole your silver, but Xie Tongtong said that she didn't steal your silver." In this way, this is a dispute. If there is a dispute that cannot be resolved, don't you go to the yamen and stand here stupidly? ”

She paused for a moment, then turned around and asked the onlookers: "Besides, our parent official in Qingyuan County is a good official, who judges cases like a god, is selfless, and upright, so it's right to look for him." ”

Everyone nodded again and again, and some even echoed: "Yes, go to the yamen." "Whether it's stealing or not, Lord Lin will know as soon as he asks."

The shirtless man was suddenly a little at a loss.

He gritted his teeth and said to Chu Cheng: "I won't go to the yamen, anyway, she just stole my silver, it's useless for you to say anything!" ”

"Then I said you stole her money!"

The shirtless man asked rhetorically: "She is a stinky girl, can she have such a big ingot of silver?" Who will believe it? ”

Chu Cheng smiled: "I will believe that people are guarding at least one grocery store." Maybe you stole the money from the grocery store, and you took a bite back, saying that Tongtong stole you. ”

The shirtless man didn't want to argue with Chu Cheng anymore, he took two steps forward, raised his hand and was about to grab Xie Tongtong, Xie Tongtong screamed in fright.

At this moment, someone behind him shouted: "Wang Biao! ”

When the shirtless man heard his name, he immediately turned around, and before he could react, he was poured down by a basin of cold water.

I saw Xie Luoying holding a wooden basin, standing with her waist crossed, her eyes full of anger.

Seeing that it was her, Wang Biao wiped the water on his face, and said hatefully: "Xie Luoying, you are finally willing to show up!" Your sister stole my money, and if you don't marry me today, I'll ......."

"What about you?" Xie Luoying was not only afraid, but also took two steps forward and raised his chin, "If you have the ability, you will report to the official, otherwise you will let your mother's fart!" I'm telling you clearly, Wang Biao, you're old and ugly, I don't like it! I don't think I'm going to do it all the time, the toad still knows that you can't eat swan meat, and you don't pee and take a picture, you look worse than the toad in the puddle! ”

Her words were so sharp that Wang Biao was speechless.

Chu Ji couldn't hold back and smiled.

She said on the side: "Toads at least have self-knowledge, some people, but they don't." ”

Wang Biao's face turned blue and white for a while, and he roared: "I'm going to the government to sue you!" ”

Xie Tongtong took Chu Cheng's hand and grimaced at him: "If you have the ability, you can go!" It's sure to open your ass to flowers! ”

Wang Biao glared at a few people, shook off the water on his body, raised his hand and pointed, and threatened: "You guys wait!" ”
