She obviously didn't mean anything else, but Yu Youquan was a little uncomfortable subconsciously.

He coughed lightly, sat down opposite her, and saw that Qu Qingyan was about to pick up the wine jug and pour wine for each other, and hurriedly raised his hand and pressed it on the wine jug.

"There's a little bit of business to discuss later, just drink."

Qu Qingyan didn't understand why Yu Youtai looked like she wanted to take advantage of him whenever he mentioned drinking, she was obviously a decent person!

"Teacher, this is just a little sherbet with a slight smell of wine, and it is most suitable to use it with the pot."

Yu Youtai couldn't help it, Qu Qingyan could only watch her pour wine for each other.

"Although the Spring Festival is about to be halfway through, the students are still very happy to be able to sit and drink with the teacher like this, respect to you, teacher, happy New Year."

Qu Qingyan picked up the wine glass, and didn't wait for Yu Youtai to say anything, and drank it all very boldly.

Yu Youtai's hand holding the wine glass was halfway raised, and his heart was warm because of Qu Qingyan's words, and he saw that she had drunk it all.

It's too easy to get drunk when you drink like this......

"Happy New Year."

When he brought the wine into his mouth, he felt that the wine was a little sweet, and the smell of the wine was indeed not obvious.

Mama Wang sent meat rolls in, and Qu Qingyan has never picked beef and mutton, so every time she uses a pot, she will ask Mama Wang to prepare both.

"Can the teacher use a little?"

She hadn't forgotten that Yu Youtai had been a vegetarian for many years, and the chopsticks were a little awkward on the edge of the plate containing the meat rolls.

"It's okay, I'll just use a little vegetarian food."

Xu saw the discomfort on Qu Qingyan's face, and Yu Youtai took the first step to pick up the plain radish tofu and put it into the pot.

There are very few edible vegetables in the northwest in winter, and one or two vegetables from the south may still be found in Chang'an City, but there are only some durable vegetables in Shouyang County, such as radish and cabbage.

Thinking of his careful preparation, he still had such negligence, Qu Qingyan could only lift the wine jug and fill it for each other.

"It's the student's negligence, and I hope the teacher won't be surprised, and the student will punish himself."

Yu Youtai shook his head gently, the reason why he had been a vegetarian for so many years was because of the young lady of the Gu family who had never passed the door, but only he knew that he was doing it for his family, and a particularly strange fire burned in the second half of the night, and no one in the family escaped, and all of them were burned to death in the room, which is strange no matter how you look at it.

It's not that he hasn't checked after the fire, but he can't find the slightest problem.

Everything was covered up so well, so good that he knew there was a problem but was helpless.

There is guilt, apology, and remorse for his family in his heart, and over the years, outsiders have only seen him eat exceptionally plain, but they don't know that he will transcribe excessive scriptures outside of official duties, and regularly send them to the monastery, looking for monks to spend time for his family.

In the first two years, he had already done all the excessive rituals, and he no longer had to treat himself harshly to eat boiled vegetables, but it had become a habit after using it for five years in a row, and it was no longer used to making him eat greasy again, so he no longer forced himself.

Everything is natural, but no one knows the changes in his state of mind.

Even the housekeeper who took care of him for many years didn't know.

"It doesn't have to be that way, I'm not exactly the same since a year ago."

is not an explanation, but it also dissolves Qu Qingyan's embarrassment, but she still called Mama Wang to prepare two light side dishes.

"Teacher, what have you found in Chang'an City in the past few months, or have you thought of one or two solutions?"

Although Yu Youtai has already said that he is no longer vegan, Qu Qingyan always feels a little twisted when he goes down to the pot with the meat rolls.

However, Yu Youtai seemed to see her uncomfortable, and took the initiative to lift the chopsticks to help her put the meat into the pot.

"No, at the end of the year, the government at all levels is busy, and the account books sent are extremely flat, so people can't see any problems, so I haven't found my thoughts yet."

When it comes to official business, Yu Youtai is a little bored, and the general affairs of a province are not easy to get started, especially in the northwest, which is obviously problematic.

Whether Zhu Jinrui had been transferred to the capital or transferred them to the northwest, the reasons and reasons were not concealed in the slightest, and the officials in Shaanxi all knew where the two of them came from in Shaanxi.

This may be a big event to move people's plates, and who will be willing to cooperate.

The next stumbling block that is not subtle is already good.

Qu Qingyan held his head with his hands, pursed his lips and couldn't help but smile: "Teacher Xu still doesn't know that there is actually a big problem in the northwest, which is much more serious than the civilization of the people, so you and I, or Gu Ruohong, who went to Gansu, and I Hanlin, I actually have other tasks when I come to the northwest." ”

Qu Qingyan did not intend to hide Yu Youtai's private release of Yinzi money from the local government, and with Zhu Jinrui's means, he would definitely take Qin to return to the northwest after the year.

This is not a secret, and she now says that she can exchange Yu Youtai with a little trust and gratitude.

Sure enough, Yu Youtai was a little appetized by her words, and looked sideways at her, with a faint question on Qingjun's face.

Qu Qingyan couldn't help lowering his eyes and sighed in his heart, this Lord Yu is nearly thirty years old, and his appearance is still so well maintained, could it be the reason why he is so good all year round?

is obviously so much older than Zhu Jinrui, but this appearance is faintly one or two points younger than Zhu Jinrui.

Raising his hand and pouring himself wine again, Qu Qingyan put away his thoughts and said, "Isn't the teacher curious about what interesting things I have found in the past few months as a magistrate in Shouyang County?" ”

Yu Youtai twisted his eyebrows and watched her raise her hand and drink another glass, she had already drunk half a pot of wine before she used up for lunch, even if it was fruit wine, she would be drunk with Qu Qingyan's amount of wine.

Raising his hand to grab the wine jug, Qu Qingyan took the first step to hold the wine jug in his arms, and the phoenix eyes that were picked up were already rippling with water.

"The teacher always has to grab the flask for something, and the students won't get drunk, so the teacher can rest assured.

"The teacher knows what the nearly 1,000 taels of silver that are taken away every year in the county school have happened, and you are afraid that you have only seen it in the book, and the silver taels were taken to the house seal money by officials at all levels in the county government, and released to the people when the year was bad, and then forced them to sell their children and daughters and repay them with interest."

Qu Qingyan's words with two points of alcohol smashed into Yu Youtai's heart like thunder, and the government privately released the money in Yinzi...... This is really only seen in the history books that record the trivial matters of the previous dynasty.

"Is this clear?"

"He? Of course he knows," Qu Qingyan burped very ungently, and his tone was a little mocking: "If he doesn't know, how can he try his best to get me and a few others to this northwest, but it's not a scholar who can still stand behind him." ”
