Chapter 39
Chu Cheng and Lin Boqin had an unhappy quarrel, and in less than a day, they were resolved again.
Early the next morning, Lin Boqin went to the yamen, and Chu Cheng was still lying on the windowsill and waved his hand to him earnestly: "Husband, go slowly." ā
Lin Boqin paused at his feet, and then walked faster.
Chu Cheng looked at his back almost running away, proudly holding her cheeks, although the two quarreled yesterday, judging from the results, it was she who won the victory.
A requirement...... What should she mention?
Mabi came over with a medicine bowl: "Madam, drink it while it's hot." ā
Chu Cheng took the bowl and drank it in small sips.
She looked at the dark brown potion and couldn't help but wonder, what did she do to make Lin Boqin unhappy after she fainted yesterday? Based on her understanding of Lin Boqin, he is not a calculating person......
"Mabi, Lin Boqin came home yesterday, did he say anything?"
Mabi was smart, and when she reacted, Chu Cheng wanted to know why Lord Lin was angry with her.
"The adults went straight into the house without saying a word."
Chu Cheng let out an "oh", put down the medicine bowl, frowned slightly, and no longer took it to heart.
At this moment, Xi Du ran in from outside, with a smile on his face, and said, "Madam, Su Yu is here to find you!" ā
Su Yu lived in Lin's house for a few days, and she had a good time with Xi Dusk and Bibi. Xi Du thought that she would never see him again, but she didn't expect Su Yu to bring a pastry and come over to pay a visit.
"Call in."
Su Yu wore a neat indigo fine cotton dress today, with her hair coiled on the top of her head, and she looked a hundred times more energetic than in the past when she did hard work and driving.
As soon as he saw Chu Hui, he happily stepped forward and shouted, "Madam! ā
"You've come just in time, I have something to ask you." Chu Pingxi and Mao Bi took Su Yu's hand, "Is it the habit of living in Li Zhongyi's house?" ā
Su Yu nodded: "My uncle is very good to me and my mother, and I also asked a doctor to treat it, and my mother's condition is much better." After a pause, he added, "It's my so-called grandfather...... I gave him a hundred taels of silver, but he asked me where I got it, and threatened me to tell Lord Lin if I didn't say it...... I, I really have no choice, so I said that the one hundred taels of silver were lent to me by Lord Lin. ā
Chu Cheng frowned slightly: "What did your grandfather say?" ā
"When he heard that it was the silver ticket given to me by Master Lin, he naturally didn't dare to make trouble again, so he took the silver ticket and left." Su Yu was obviously a little guilty, he lowered his head, "I don't know if it will cause trouble to Mrs. if you say this." ā
Chu Cheng didn't know either.
But presumably not.
She didn't want to put pressure on the child, so she smiled: "It's okay." But you have to remember that the remaining 100 taels must be hidden and used when it is critical. No matter how good Li Zhongyi is to you, you can't let him know that you have so much money, understand? ā
Su Yu nodded with a serious face: "I understand, it's best for me to know only this money." ā
"Clever." Chu Cheng patted his emaciated shoulder.
After she said this, Su Yu looked left and right to make sure that no one was eavesdropping, so she lowered her voice and asked, "Madam, in fact, there is one thing, I have always wanted to ask you, but I don't know whether to say it or not." ā
Chu Cheng had already guessed what he wanted to ask: "Say it." ā
Su Yu raised her watery eyes and looked at her: "I was ...... that day was held hostage by my mother, where did you learn the martial arts you used? ā
Chu Cheng responded generously: "It was taught by my master, and he is very good at martial arts." ā
The commander of the forbidden army, Huo Ying, is not only good martial arts? It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first in the world!
Su Yu was curious and shocked: "But madam, you ...... How did you learn martial arts? And it seems that Lord Lin doesn't know about it, why are you hiding it from him like this? ā
Chu Shen raised her eyebrows: "Although people are small, there are many problems. ā
"I'm sorry ma'am, IāI just can't help but want to ask." Su Yu suddenly became restrained, but his eyes were full of longing.
Chu Cheng thought for a while, and then said nonsense: "There are many bandits in Yunzhou, although I am a woman, my father has always been worried about my safety, so when I was five years old, he found a martial arts master and taught me kung fu. However, in our dynasty, women are always not very good at learning martial arts, so in order not to dislike their husbands, they have been hiding it. ā
Although Su Yu was small, he was still quite sensible, and he asked rhetorically: "But since Princess Huarong defeated the prince of Nanban, it is not surprising that women's martial arts halls have prevailed." ā
"It's always a minority." Chu Cheng bent the corners of her mouth happily.
This Su Yu was really not mistaken, and she even knew about her defeat of the Southern Barbarian Prince.
Su Yu nodded as if he didn't understand, and said, "It turns out that Mrs. Lin is hiding it from Master Lin because she is afraid that he will not like it." ā
"Lin Boqin is like that, you should also know that he doesn't like women to practice martial arts." Chu Cheng told the truth, "He doesn't care about me in the first place, if I do something to make him angry, maybe he will be divorced one day." ā
Su Yu hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, I think Master Lin cares about Mrs., Mrs. must not be arrogant." ā
Chu Cheng is the best-looking, the best martial arts, and the most powerful person he has ever seen!
"Don't talk about him."
Chu Cheng turned her head sideways, and her voice was cold: "Su Yu, I will do martial arts, and I will give you silver, and you can't tell anyone, including your sick mother." ā
Su Yu clenched his fists and nodded solemnly: "Madame, don't worry, Su Yu will never tell the second person." ā
Referring to Liang Xiuyun, Su Yu suddenly remembered something, and he said: "The day after tomorrow, my uncle will take me and my mother back to Shiliwan to burn paper on the grave of my aunt's family." ā
"Family?"
Su Yu frowned: "I heard my uncle say that not long after my aunt was buried, my maternal grandfather and his family all died in the fire, and no one was spared. ā
Chu Cheng let out an "ah" in some surprise and asked, "How can this be?" ā
Su Yu shook his head: "Xu didn't pay attention to the house and set it on fire, and people slept deeply, so he ......" He has no feelings for his grandfather's family, because of Liang Xiuyun's relationship, except for his aunt, he doesn't like the Zhu family at all. The abusive Zhu Chengye did not give her mother and grandmother a name until she died.
Chu Cheng didn't care about these old things.
She was very interested in Ten Mile Bay.
She asked, "I heard that the scenery is good in Ten Mile Bay?" There is also a Valley of Hundred Flowers, which is like spring all year round? ā
Su Yu nodded hurriedly: "Yes, the Hundred Flowers Valley is very famous, but Shiliwan is far away from Qingyuan County, the mountain road is rugged, even if the scenery is beautiful, there are not many people who go, and it is a little remote." ā
Chu Cheng couldn't help but stroke her palm: "I just like remote places!" ā
Nobody knows her best!
"Huh?" Su Yu couldn't react a little, and stared at her in surprise.
Chu Cheng concealed a dry smile: "Because the remote place is very quiet, unlike on the street, people come and go, what kind of thieves will be encountered." Just like last time, you were almost hit by Gu Jingtong's horse, but it was because there were too many people! ā
Su Yu never doubted Chu Cheng's words, and he said with deep agreement: "Madam is right, the more remote the better." ā
Chu Cheng said: "That's good, I'm idle anyway, and I'll go to Shiliwan Baihua Valley with you the day after tomorrow to have a look." "Walking around the territory of Qingyuan County, there shouldn't be any problems.
Su Yu was naturally very happy, he liked to play with Chu Cheng, and said busily: "Is what Madam said true?" Then I'll ask my uncle to get you a carriage too!" ā
"Okay."
But Su Yu came back to his senses and asked, "Didn't Madam know that Lord Lin would speak?" ā
"Whatever." Chu Cheng snorted.
Su Yu didn't feel good, and he said, "In case Lord Lin doesn't agree......"
"He dares!"
"He doesn't agree that you can't go out of town." Su Yu said the key point.
Chu Yu didn't believe it, she patted Su Yu's shoulder, and was very confident: "Don't worry, I'll go and say, he promises to send us out of the city in person." ā
***
"Don't even think about it."
Lin Boqin said coldly.
Chu Cheng was about to laugh angrily, she came to the county office, did she just listen to his refusal?
Immediately, she tore open the paperwork on Lin Boqin's case, propped her hands on the table, and stared at him through gritted teeth: "I just want to go out for a walk, why don't you agree?" ā
Lin Boqin put the brush in his hand aside, raised his eyes and said: "Last time, you were going to Fengshui, but you ran into the dense forest of Pingshan without permission and almost died inside. ā
"I'm not dead." Chu Cheng spread her hands, "I also helped you find the secret passage and solved the dispute between Su Mei and Li Zhongyi!" ā
"Last time, you went boating on the Red Lake and almost drowned."
"I'm still not dead! Not only that, but Du Jiaojiao's corpse was also found, otherwise maybe someone's corpse is still lying there. ā
Lin Boqin didn't bother to argue with her, and glanced at her: "Full of nonsense." ā
"Peizhi, you actually want to say that she is a troublemaker, right?"
The light at the door dimmed, but Gu Jingtong walked in with a stack of papers.
With a playful smile on his face, he glanced at Chu Cheng: "Madame has no other skills, but her ability to cause trouble is first-class, and Lord Lin is also good for you." ā
Chu Cheng glared at him, and pointed at Lin Boqin angrily: "I'm talking to my husband, what do you care?" Stay where it's cool! ā
Lin Boqin: "......"
Gu Jingtong was choked by her words.
Although I know that the two are acting, the superficial relationship is really hard to decipher.
He paused for a moment, then blinked a pair of narrow eyes that were full of peach blossoms: "Madame has a point, I shouldn't have bothered you two, but ......" He pointed to the stack of papers in his hand, "I have to ask Lord Lin if he wants to go to the townships to make rounds." ā
Lin Boqin remembered that he had come to ask for advice.
Chu Cheng also remembered.
She hurriedly said: "Go, go, he must go!" ā
Lin Boqin locked his sword eyebrows, and was about to refuse, when he heard Chu Cheng say: "That's good, if you don't agree with me going out alone, then you can come with me." By the way, you will accompany me to the Baihua Valley in Shiliwan, and I will accompany you to walk around the territory of Qingyuan County and inspect it. Your political achievements have been raised, and I have played, isn't it the best of both worlds? ā
Lin Boqin snorted coldly: "Don't you think about it." ā
"Why are you so persistent?"
"It's your whim."
"You ......" Chu Cheng raised her hand and pointed at him, gritted her teeth, and smothered the dirty words into her stomach.
Gu Jingtong, who was watching from the sidelines, almost laughed, he had known Lin Boqin for many years, and he had never seen him talk to anyone. But this Li Siniang smokes his angry seven orifices almost every day, which is really interesting!
Chu Cheng withdrew her finger and suddenly asked, "You really don't agree?" ā
"Disagree."
Lin Boqin's eyebrows and eyes were sparse, his complexion was cold, and there was no room for turning around at all.
Gu Jing thought to himself, Li Siniang would definitely return in defeat.
Who knew that in the next second, Chu Xian approached Lin Boqin's ear, with a smile on her face, and reminded in a threatening tone in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Don't forget, you agreed to a request from me yesterday, do you want to repay the debt the next day?" If you don't agree, I'll ...... Writing Zhang Bang and posting it is everywhere, saying that Lord Lin Boqin Lin of Qingyuan County is untrustworthy, and he is a treacherous villain who deceives the world! ā
Lin Boqin glanced at her abruptly and said angrily: "It's extremely boring." ā
"Why don't you try?"
Gu Jingtong saw the two of them talking to each other, and couldn't help clasping his arms with his hands, and said curiously: "What are you two muttering about?" ā
Chu Cheng turned her head and said, "Our husband and wife are whispering, you also want to ask?" ā
Lin Boqin: "......"
She straightened up, stared at Lin Boqin with a smile, and said in a tactful tone: "Husband, do you agree or not?" ā
Lin Boqin was helpless, looked at Gu Jingtong, and said lightly: "Sheng Feng, the day after tomorrow, I will go to the territory to inspect, and the affairs of the county government will bother you." ā
Gu Jingtong was stunned, looked at Chu Cheng in astonishment, and said, "You are really capable." ā
