Chapter 53: Prelude
He Bingzao was impatient, and he just got out when he heard this.
There was a cough, and the room fell silent.
He Bing said: "You have heard, I still have something to do, and I can't delay it, so I have to deal with it immediately." Juanxiu, this is my fault, I apologize to you,. Qingyuan has served you for so long, she should be given a way to live and give me some face. The matter was settled, and today I put wine for Qingyuan in the house, and I was officially promoted to my aunt, even if it was over. ”
Zhou is not angry, let it go so easily, then where does the majesty of her housemother put her, and the maids in the future see that Qingyuan has an identity, and they don't all want to climb the master's bed, so they naturally want to refute.
He Bing grabbed Zhou's hand, leaned into her ear, blew on the hot air, and said, "Be good, I will compensate you well in the future, I will guarantee you with the reputation of the prefect and unconditionally agree to you a request, how about it?" ”
Zhou bit her lip, feeling that it was more useful to obtain a promise from her husband than to be challenged to her dignity.
She has always dared not disobey her husband's words, even if she disagrees, she can only complain, and she doesn't dare to do anything, but if He Bing can promise her "anything", she will have the right to speak on some things that she doesn't want to give into.
After thinking about it like this, I hesitated.
He Bing followed the good guidance on the side: "I was really confused last night, I made a mistake, and I had to help my wife clean up the aftermath, I really feel sorry." In the future, as long as the lady speaks, she will be sent down. ”
Seeing that her husband lowered his posture so much and promised her again, the breath in his heart decided to hold it first, anyway, Qingyuan was in her hands, and she still had to knead it.
Don't you dare to climb the master's bed, don't you think it's better to warm the master's bed than to be her maid? Well, let you see the consequences you have to endure after climbing into bed, and let the maid who still has this mind see if you dare to follow suit!
Zhou Shi lowered his face, hid his slightly fierce expression, and snorted: "I'm not a person who doesn't know the seriousness, the master took a fancy to which maid and told me, not only will I not stop it, but I have to dress up the person well and send it to you." It's good for you to sleep with my maid without saying hello, and in the future they will not think that my mistress is a bully, so they have to climb on my head, and one or two will run directly in front of you over me. Changed his tone and continued, "If you have something to do, go and get busy, that is, Qingyuan's affairs have to be handled by me, otherwise the girls will not be rampant one by one." ”
He Bing frowned, how could he talk for a long time, but he still refused to follow.
Zhou knew his thoughts when he saw his expression, and said angrily: "What do you think, following you is your person, my sister, can I really eat her?" But endure some hardships to show the people, let them know some of the severity, save me a moth, and make the house restless. ”
Speaking of the four words of restlessness in the house, Qingyuan trembled, foreseeing that she would probably not have a good time in the next period of time.
He Bing felt that what Zhou said made some sense, and he was quite satisfied, laughed, and praised Zhou's virtue.
After appeasing his wife, He Bingcai left.
didn't notice that Qingyuan behind him was looking at him with resentful eyes.
I don't know the Zhou family behind him, his eyes are extremely cold, he pressed his forehead, and he didn't want to look at him again.
walked out of the house and almost bumped into Qinghuan who was spinning anxiously at the door.
Qinghuan hurriedly knelt down and confessed, what happened to Qingyuan, it was better for her to stay away from the master.
He Bing ignored her, Fushun had already come up, leaned into He Bing's ear and said, "Master, something is wrong, go back to the front office, Master Xu seems to have heard some bad news to report to you......"
When He Bing heard Master Xu, his face changed slightly.
Xu Shu has given him advice and carried a gun to deal with the aftermath for so many years, and he has made a lot of contributions and credits. This time, he was also sent to wander around to inquire about whether the Jiangnan Rebellion would endanger his Jiangyin.
It looks like it's not very good news.
With a not very stable heart, I went to the front office.
Xu Shu was holding a teapot in the study and pouring herbal tea into his mouth, Fulin couldn't stop it if he wanted to, thinking that you are a lot older, you still drink herbal tea on such a cold day, and you don't care about your body so much.
At this time, He Bing walked in.
Ask bluntly, "What's wrong?" ”
Xu Shu hesitated for a moment and glanced at Fulin Fushun.
Needless to say, the two of them also knew what it meant, so they silently took the door and retreated, guarding the door.
He Bing motioned for him to speak.
Xu Shu poured another sip of herbal tea before saying: "Since something happened to the prefect of Changzhou, the governor ignored it and only cared about his own small things, I felt strange. Lord Zhizhou was afraid of pulling out his little tail, so he only cared about the aftermath for himself, so he didn't have time to pay attention to other things. ”
"Lord Governor is here to mix something, this is overstepping your authority."
The governors are only in charge of the use of troops in the south and north of the Yangtze River, and administrative matters should be handled by their civilian officials.
"Everyone sent someone to draw their swords in front of Lord Zhizhou, and if they didn't agree, they had to agree, and Lord Zhizhou signed a letter of authorization."
Xu Shu took a breath and continued: "Originally, this matter had nothing to do with us, but I learned another thing. The Governor wants to investigate the matter of the Changzhou prefect to clean up the dirt of Jiangnan officialdom for so many years. Lord Zhizhou got a glimpse of Shang's intentions, and he didn't dare to be blatant, so he only secretly released some news to let all states and counties take precautions. ”
He Bing frowned.
"It's not his business, whatever!"
Xu Shu wanted to speak and stopped, looking at He Bing's eyes flickering.
He Bing knew that he was so angry that he had made a mistake again, and he didn't have time to listen to him play tricks, so he directly reprimanded angrily: "Say! ”
Xu Shu had no choice but to speak: "There is also a saying that Lord Du Du received the emperor's secret decree and secretly investigated according to the holy will. Besides, even if there is no will, if something is really found out and the heavens hear it, can the emperor still blame the governor for being nosy? ”
He Bing said angrily: "Let him check, I'll see what he can find, don't dare to say anything else, I've been an official in the past few years, and I've never dealt with a wrong case, and I haven't wronged a single person, so I don't believe that he can check me out." ”
Pacing back and forth in the study.
After a long time, he whispered to Xu Shu: "That incident...... Are you sure it's cleaned up and no tail left? ”
Xu Shu's face was solemn: "I am very sure, I personally supervised and inspected this matter, and there will be no future trouble." ”
He Bing breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "You clear the account in the yali well, see if there is anything missing, hurry up and make up for it, in short...... Get through this battle first, what do you need, and if you don't have enough money, you will pay it directly from my house......"
The two whispered for a long time, one way and another.
before they came out of the study.
When they walked away, Xue Mu slid down from the roof and quietly left.
