Wang Zhutou didn't expect it to be so easy to pass, wiped a handful of sweat, walked to the door of the hall, and before he could speak, he was dragged aside by Yun Dianshi and asked, "How is it?" What did she ask? ”

Wang Zhutou rejoiced: "In the end, it is the wife of the official family, who is virtuous and tight, but she didn't ask a word, but only said that the plague should not be forced to sell the population, let the adults watch it." ”

Yun Dianshi was stunned, his brows furrowed, and muttered, "What does she mean by this?" Looking at it? What do you look at? Did you hurry up when the county lord was not there? Or—"

Wang Zhutou was startled and asked, "My lord, you mean, Madame means-"

Yun Dianshi snorted, shook his head and said, "Maybe I'm thinking too much, but when this lady speaks, people can't see the depth clearly." He also muttered: "It is also natural for the plague to ask for an account, although it should not be forced to sell the population, but it didn't work out in the end." If the county lord called the watch office, I naturally didn't say a word and locked the plague seven, but now it is the lady who calls the watch office, should I go and lock the plague seven locks, or lock the widow? ”

Wang Zhutou was speechless for a long time, and finally stammered: "My lord, there is a saying that a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as stealing ......."

Yun Dian Shi glanced at him and said, "I know your, don't think that the county lord is the same as you!" Who is Madame? It's the queen mother who waits in front of her, and the lady's brother is the steward in the Nine Emperors' Mansion, can your yellow-faced woman compare? Then he whispered: "The county lord still gives you three cents every day and asks you to buy tofu, and the lady has not stopped when she comes?" ”

Wang Zhutou had also been to Huai'an with Chen, and experienced the scene of welcoming relatives, he was frightened, and when he heard him ask, he smiled bitterly: "My lord, even if I have the heart to be courteous, I don't dare to pay for the tofu brain of the tofu Shih Tzu in front of the county lord." Isn't this death? ”

Yun Dianshi glared at him, turned around and led the horse, looked back at Wang Zhutou again, and said suddenly: "The county lord values you, so he entrusted these private matters, don't get dizzy, and make a gun for others." Wang Zhutou was stunned, Yun Dianshi had already left the gate, mounted his horse, and went home.

On the second day, Yun Dianshi fell off his horse when he went out, fell and injured an arm, and had to ask for sick leave and recuperate at home. The case of the plague coercing the widow was also unsponsored.

The county magistrate and the county are out, and the canonical history can't be the director, so the forest lord of Qinghe County stood in the front hall, glanced at the colleagues who were all over the room and were silent, and said: "The grain inspection period on the first day of November is coming, and there are more and more boats on the other side of the gate. The county lord will be happy when he returns. Then he led the people out of the house.

Within a few days, Chen Yan rushed back overnight and startled Lin Zhubo and others. Wang Zhutou watched him enter the door early in the morning and finish explaining his business, and then turned his head and entered the inner courtyard. He looked at Wang Xiancheng, who looked sleepy but seemed to have heard a little news, and his face was happy, and he couldn't help but ride a horse to the Yundian History Mansion in Rouge Lane, and said anxiously to Yundian Shi, who had been raised a little fatter than before: "My lord, if we don't tell the county lord about this matter first, and let him eat the chops in front of his wife, he won't be able to spare us." ”

Yun Dianshi slowly took a sip of tea, shook his head and said, "If you don't understand the things in this inner courtyard first, it's not easy for us to act indiscriminately, right?" Whether the lady is in charge of these things or the lord is in charge depends on this experience. ”

There are five old tiled houses in the backyard of the thatched cottage, and one in the middle is a hall house, which houses the tablets of the Chen family's parents and the sacred cabinet. The left chamber is Chen Yan's study, the right chamber is the inner room for two people, and the other two rooms are filled with Qi Su Niang's dowry, and the right wing room is also decorated with Qi Su Niang's dowry.

The middle of the right wing room is divided into an inside and an outside with a vermilion cloud brocade tent, and inside is a Jiangning dial step painted gold bed, carved on three sides, and two layers of bed tents are hung on the brocade belt silver hook. The first layer of the bed tent is Suzhou peach red yarn, and the outer layer is the big red lotus branch silk tent sewn by Qi Su Niang herself. The lotus seed lily double pillow and the mandarin duck embroidered quilt in the red silk brocade tent are all smooth and brilliant, faintly revealing a residual lotus fragrance.

There are three large mahogany inlaid silver wardrobes in the outer room, and the rest of the round tables, dressing tables, and spring stools are all made of mahogany inlaid with silver. On the dressing table, there is a carved lacquer flat soft snail makeup box, in which the seven products of the decree wear a pearl and phoenix crown are dazzling, the lotus powder of Guan Yuhe in the silver powder box, the rose rouge of Bian Fumao, and the screw Dai of Longdesheng are fragrant, and the planer water used by men to comb braids is also placed with two tin bottles.

Chen Yan stretched out his arms, and Qi Su Niang took off his official robe for him, and sighed: "The emperor came to the west to tour, and then Gao Shiqi's bullet was shocked, and he actually put Suo Etu out of the prison. It's written in the newspaper. I heard from Master Zhang in Huai'an that the emperor sent the third elder brother and the eighth elder brother to interrogate him. The third elder brother is fine, but the eighth elder brother is ......"

Qi Su Niang was stunned, opened her mouth to ask, and endured it again. She changed her regular clothes for Zhang Yan, wiped her face with water, Fang went over and closed the door tightly, and whispered in Chen Yan's ear: "Lord Zhang summoned you to Huai'an for this matter?" ”

Chen Yan nodded, laughed, and said softly: "Lord Zhang took the opportunity to go to the posts of a few river masters who climbed the Suo Etu. "Pause," said Master Zhang, looking for an opportunity to ask the emperor to let me still manage the river. ”

Qi Su Niang pursed her lips and smiled, accepted a blessing, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the county lord, congratulations to the county lord, the promotion of officials is a small matter, and the river governance is a big matter." ”

Chen Yan laughed, turned around and saluted, and said, "The wife of the person who knows me is also ......."

The two were laughing, and suddenly heard the sound of a bang outside the middle gate, and the official said loudly: "My lord, there is an urgent matter." ”

Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, didn't care about putting on his official robe, lowered his head and kissed Qi Su Niang's forehead, and said, "Don't be busy today, I'll take you out for a day off." And he turned and went.

Qi Suniang looked at Chen Yan's back, slowly took out the dirty official robe and dirty clothes in the luggage, carried them to the courtyard in a bunch, and put them in the big wooden basin by the well. She was about to go to draw water, thought about it again, walked out of the middle door lightly, listened carefully, and sure enough, she heard the voice of Wang Catcher coming from the front hall.

“…… My lord, how to deal with this matter? ”
