Seeing Li Zhongyi, Su Yu, and Liang Xiuyun leave, Chu Cheng only felt that a big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

She actually didn't want to give Su Yu so much silver, after all, the gentleman was innocent, not to mention that he was just a child. If a wrong-minded person knows that he has a hundred taels of silver, he does not know what will happen. But the silver ticket that Chu Cheng brought out from the palace, the smallest face value was one hundred taels, and then it was all five hundred and one thousand taels, let alone a hand.

Daylight is in full swing.

Chu Cheng squinted at the scorching sun on the horizon, and felt dizzy.

"What are you still doing here?"

But it was Lin Boqin who came over.

He didn't want to pay attention to Chu Cheng, but her big pestle was outside the public court, and he always felt ...... She was contempting the court.

Chu Cheng glanced at it and found that he had changed out of his seven-rank official uniform, wore a pale blue woven silk round-necked robe, and tied a moon-white bat-patterned brocade belt around his waist, which was a rare heroic appearance.

She has always been very tolerant of good-looking people, but she is an exception to Lin Boqin.

Knowing that Lin Boqin didn't like to be ridiculed, she still smiled charmingly: "Husband, I'm waiting for you." ”

Lin Boqin's face darkened unexpectedly.

"Don't talk nonsense."

"Why am I talking nonsense." Chu Cheng pursed her lips in displeasure, "You asked me first, and I answered, but you're still not happy." ”

Lin Boqin knew that it was no good to quarrel with her, so he raised his feet to leave, but was stopped by Gu Jingtong, who hurried behind him.

Gu Jingtong saw the two standing side by side, and deliberately quipped: "You two are talking about yourself, it's not the right time for me to come!" Chu Cheng looked him up and down, and said in disgust: "Then you don't want to leave quickly." ”

"This ......" Gu Jingtong was speechless, glanced at Chu Hui, and felt funny, "Is Mrs. Lin always so direct when she speaks?" ”

Chu Cheng glared at him: "There is something more direct, do you want to listen?" ”

Lin Boqin and Gu Jing are both friends, that is, they are a raccoon dog, even if they scold, it doesn't matter.

Gu Jingtong put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly: "Forget it." ”

Lin Boqin didn't want to listen to the verbal argument between the two of them, so he asked, "Sheng Feng, what's important to you?" ”

"It's not a big deal for me, it's important to you. Just now, I flipped through the paperwork and found that you haven't gone out to the countryside to inspect in the past two years, knowing that you have to evaluate your political performance every year, you really don't care at all. ”

The weather was hot, Gu Jingtong took out a folding fan from his sleeve, shook it slowly, and sighed: "Only the evaluation has the opportunity to be promoted, admire, do you plan to stay in Qingyuan County for the rest of your life?" ”

Chu Cheng was also too hot, she saw that Gu Jingtong was shaking a fan, so she took advantage of the conversation between the two and quietly stood on the other side of Gu Jingtong, just enough to rub him and fan the wind.

Lin Boqin frowned, and he didn't agree very much: "Every time I went to the countryside to visit the village, those township chiefs and lieutenants came to greet me warmly, and before leaving, I used the excuse to send rice and noodles. ”

"I knew you were worried about this, it's a big deal not to notify the township officials, let's go quietly." Gu Jingtong sighed, "It's July now, and all villages are sowing the second round of rice. ”

He had a lot of truth in that.

As a county official, it is a very important responsibility to persuade farmers to teach mulberry.

Go to the countryside to visit, inspect the planting situation of the villages in the county, and rectify the wrong ones in time, so that the new rice will mature well. By the way, it is an encouraging effect for the people, so that he, the county magistrate, does not feel unattainable.

Lin Boqin pondered for a while, and then said, "Let me think about it. ”

Gu Jingtong shook the fan, turned his head, and found that Chu Cheng was rubbing against him fanning the wind. Her cheeks were red from the heat, like peaches hanging on a tree, and she couldn't help but want to look at them twice.

Chu Cheng knew that she was sick.

After a night of rain, she didn't sleep well, and now she was basking in the sun, and she felt very bad.

Seeing Gu Jingtong looking at her, she suddenly said angrily: "Look at what!" ”

Gu Jingtong closed the folding fan with a "sigh", and his eyes narrowed into a slit: "Then I won't fan you anymore." ”

"Who is rare." Chu Cheng snorted.

She felt very dizzy, and it was even more boring to stand with these two people and talk nonsense, so she walked outside the county office, at this time Chu Cheng just wanted to rest quickly, and then let Mao Bixi boil some medicine, and the pace was inevitably a little hurried.

Lin Boqin didn't care where she was going.

He asked Gu Jingtong: "Li Zhongyi and Su Mei's case, have the court trial records been written?" Gu Jingtong was stunned, and tapped his forehead with a folding fan: "You didn't remind me that I forgot, and I still left it on the case and didn't put it away." After saying that, he turned around and went back in a hurry.

Lin Boqin saw what was happening, and finally he could rest for a day before going home.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked outside the county yamen, he saw a woman lying under the steps, and two officials were surrounded by anxious people.

"Your Excellency!" One of them saw Lin Boqin, and ran in three steps and two steps, "Madam, she fainted, and her subordinates are preparing to report to you." ”

Lin Boqin was stunned, and then Huo Di took a step to Chu Ji and helped her up.

"Li Siniang? Li Siniang? ”

Only then did he realize that Chu Hui's face was not normal, and he put the back of his hand on her forehead and tried it, but it was like a hot fire.

Presumably it rained for too long yesterday, and today the lesion is sudden and menacing.

Lin Boqin sank his face, and he couldn't care about much, wrapped his long arms, hugged her horizontally, and ordered left and right: "Prepare the car immediately and go to the hospital!" ”

The carriage was narrow, and he couldn't put Chu Cheng down, so he had to continue to hold it in his arms.

The woman in her arms was light and slender, but she was as hot as a piece of charcoal. Lin Boqin's sweat ran down his sideburns and chin and slid down Chu Ji's neck.

He looked down and saw the snow white, Lin Boqin unnaturally looked away, and raised his hand to wipe the crystal sweat on her neck.

Chu Cheng seemed to feel something, frowned unhappily, and sighed lightly.

Lin Boqin's body was a little stiff, he hugged Chu Cheng away and shook it: "Li Siniang? ”

Chu Cheng's cheeks were flushed, and her whole body was burned like boiled shrimp, and when she finally arrived at the hospital, Lin Boqin hurriedly put her on the low couch in the pharmacy and recruited a doctor to treat her. Dr. Xu was very good at this kind of cold and fever, and immediately fed a pill, and then asked the medicine boy to boil the medicine.

After a while, a medicine boy came over with a medicine bowl. He had only been here for a short time, and he was clumsy, scooping a spoonful and feeding it to Chu Hui's mouth without blowing.

Chu Cheng was so dazed and uncomfortable that she subconsciously closed her mouth, and the medicinal juice flowed out of the corners of her mouth, wetting her hair and clothes.

Lin Boqin sat next to him, he couldn't stand it anymore, he said in a deep voice, "I'll come." Then he took the bowl from the medicine boy's hand, blew it carefully, and slowly sent it to Chu Cheng's mouth.

Chu Cheng still closed her mouth and refused to drink.

Lin Boqin's eyebrows frowned, and his tone was unconsciously stern: "Li Siniang, do you still want to do it?" ”

As soon as he said this, it really worked, Chu Cheng's long and curly eyelashes trembled, and her lips opened slightly, allowing the medicinal juice to swallow down her throat.

Lin Boqin fed her a spoonful and swallowed a spoonful, and the pharmacy was quiet.

Dusk and twilight.

The warm light passed through the window lattice and gently fell on Chu Hui's face, reflecting a layer of shallow and fine fluff. There is a small mouth under the bridge of her delicate nose, and every time she opens her lips slightly to approach the porcelain spoon, it seems like a moist cherry, which is extremely tempting.

It was only when Chu Cheng was weak that Lin Boqin would look at her so directly and carefully.

Usually she is too arrogant and willful, so people have to ignore her delicateness, and even forget that she is just a weak woman.

Lin Boqin sighed when she thought of her awake appearance.

Behavior is rude, nonsense, lawlessness, boldness, and disobedience...... It's like a fierce horse that refuses to be tamed.

But it was this fiery horse, and sometimes she deliberately said something inconsequential, which would make his heartstrings tremble.

The word "husband" in her mouth is very charming, but Lin Boqin will not lose his mind by her, he guesses that the actual meaning of the word "husband" should be "bastard" and "stupid" and other swearing.

Staring at Chu Ji's harmless face, Lin Boqin was suddenly a little curious about her past.

What kind of people are the three husbands who died early before her? Getting along with her, is it like himself, fighting with words and swords all day long?

Lin Boqin frowned and pondered, and unconsciously fed a spoonful of medicine into his mouth......

"Ahem."

He reacted, hurriedly spit out the medicine, and couldn't help choking a few times.

Chu Cheng heard something dimly, her mind was in chaos, thinking that she had returned to the palace, and her father ordered the forbidden army to surround her Fengyang Hall and force her to marry Chen Yu'an.

The palace maids Huanyue and Xixing, who grew up with her in the palace, as well as her beloved nurse and grandmother, all came to persuade one after another: "Princess, get married, marry Chen Yu'an, it's only good for you!" "Chen Yu'an is the eldest son of Chen Taishi, Chen Taishi is also the secretary of the military department, he holds great power, and he is the only one who can check and balance the governor's mansion of the five armies, Your Majesty is for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji!" "Princess, you can't be so willful, you know what King Mu Xian has in mind now!" "Only Taishi Chen is the humerus of the imperial court, His Majesty's henchman, and His Majesty must not lose his support." "Princess, marriage is the safest way!" "Yes, princess, listen to it once, get married!"

Chu Cheng only felt that they were so noisy that she had a headache, and there seemed to be countless flies buzzing in her head.

She angrily raised her hand and pushed them away, crying out in a loud voice: "No! How many words have I listened to in this life? When have I ever lived for myself? I'm not married! I'm not married! I don't marry him......"

"Li Siniang! Calm down! Lin Boqin grabbed Chu Hui's indiscriminate arm, his eyes gloomy and cold.

Chu Ji's chest rose and fell violently, and she looked around, the medicine jar in the corner was gurgling and steaming.

It turned out to be a nightmare.

She lowered her head in a panic and whispered, "It's you." ”

Lin Boqin did not reply.

He had never been in a bad mood, or even angry.

Just now Chu Cheng's crying, he could hear every word clearly, and she said: She is not married.

Obviously, she didn't want to marry him, and she didn't want to marry Qingyuan County. From the three chapters of the covenant at the beginning to the later resistance, it can be shown that she married him entirely because of her father's persecution.

Thinking of this, Lin Boqin suddenly laughed angrily.

In vain, he boasted of being extraordinary and pretentious, but as a result, a widow who had been married three times did not look down on him at all.

His eyes sank, and he put down the medicine bowl: "Since you are awake, just drink the medicine yourself." ”

Chu Cheng had just woken up, and she didn't hear anything wrong with his tone for the time being, so she took the medicine bowl and put it in her mouth with a spoon.

Lin Boqin watched her movements, and then remembered that the spoon had been used before, he opened his mouth, swallowed the words into his stomach, and turned away with his sleeves.
