Chapter 90: Respect God and Seek Peace of Mind
Hua Xi saw that Ziyu was moved, and hurriedly made up for it.
"There is a book, I don't know if Master Ye has read it, it says that Meng Fuzi and someone are talking about what politics is, and Meng Fuzi said: 'Is there any difference between beating people to death with a wooden stick and killing people with a knife'? Someone replied: 'It's no different'. Mencius also said, 'Is there any difference between killing people with a knife and killing people with government?' Someone replied: 'It's no different'. Mencius then said, 'There is fat meat in the kitchen, and strong horses in the stable, but the common people are hungry, and those who lie in the field starve to death, this is equivalent to a man in charge leading wild beasts to eat people!' The wild beasts kill each other, and the people still hate it, and as the parents of the people, the government is not good, but they are not exempt from leading the wild beasts to eat people'! Lord Ye, the people need a good official like you, please grieve for the poor people of Kawaguchi County! In order to persuade Ziyu, Hua Cry successfully turned a crooked theory into a correct reason, just like when she was a child, she always quibbled and refuted her father Hua Changting speechless.
The county and the chief bookkeeper nodded at the same time, this time there was no secret thought, applause!
Ye Yanqing's original worries were reasonable, Ziyu was indeed too kind and upright, he grew up in the Hou Mansion since he was a child, and he didn't know what it would mean to be beaten down from a high place, and how sad it would be, and he was used to being the second son of the Hou Mansion, and he could not fight for anything, someone would send him to him, and now he only thinks about his own openness, and he probably thinks that even if he receives the punishment, it is nothing, this is Zi Yu's nature, no wonder Ye Yanqing was so worried at the beginning, and would rather break up the eldest son, also want to get the calculating Hua Cry to Ziyu's side.
Hearing this, Ziyu was relieved, yes, as the parent of one party, he either thinks about the people or is good to the people, that is just empty talk, and he has to break the rules and break the obstacles in order to achieve it, if he can do something real for the people, what is his foolishness?
"What Yin'er said makes sense, let me think about it." Ziyu exhaled, this pressure has been held in his heart for a long time, and now he feels a little more relaxed.
Hua Wei also sighed secretly, she was really afraid that Ziyu would be impulsive and lose her official position for his "Loyal Monarch Thing"!
The current reclamation of Qingshui Pavilion has been suspended, and it is necessary to wait for Minghyun to clean up the bandits in the deep mountains before he can appease the villagers, and the reclamation of other townships and pavilions is still continuing, which actually begins to worry Hua Wei, she has no experience, she has no experience, she has never thought that the plan she came up with with painstaking efforts will have so many problems when it is implemented, and now it is just the beginning, and I don't know what else I will encounter when I come down, and then I will catch her and Ziyu off guard.
Sure enough, it is not easy to do anything, so to speak, it is very difficult.
But it is difficult, and it must be done, this plan is not only related to the people's livelihood, but also related to her five-year plan, she can only move forward through obstacles, pray for blessings, and let the people suffer less crimes!
The official came to report that the people at the gate of the county government had been waiting for a long time.
Not one person, it's dozens.
The shopkeeper of the pharmacy in the entire Kawaguchi county town was invited to the county government to discuss how to arrange people to go to the countryside to teach basic emergency treatment, which is an urgent matter, and Hua Weeping saw the farmer who chiseled the stone on the mountain and was splashed with gravel and injured his eyes, so he felt that during the reclamation period, there must be people who know how to use medicine, go to the townships and pavilions to teach the people how to save themselves and save people, although it is not foolproof, at least, if there is a sudden accident, it will not panic and delay the treatment, and it can be done to save his life first, and then send it to the city for treatment.
There were more than 20 pharmacy shopkeepers in the front hall, they had been waiting at the door of the county government for a long time, and they didn't know what kind of score the county master put up, they were a little unhappy in their hearts.
"Greetings to my lords!" The shopkeeper bowed down in unison.
"You shopkeepers don't need to be polite, please get up quickly!" Ziyu hurriedly got up and threw his hand at everyone.
Hua Cry felt that there were so many outsiders, and it was inconvenient for a woman in the back house to stand in the front hall, and it was difficult to hide everyone's mouth, so as not to let Ziyu give people the truth, so she went back to the back house directly from the side door.
When he returned to his house, he quickly asked his mother-in-law to prepare bath water, saying that she wanted to bathe.
The mother-in-law quickly boiled the water and brought it into the house, Hua Weeping did not soak until she fell asleep as usual, but quickly freshened up, and then called the mother-in-law to prepare incense and rice, Zhaiguo tea and rice, she wanted to worship the heavens and pray for blessings, so that God could bless the people of Kawaguchi Prefecture to smoothly reclaim the terraced fields.
The customs are different in different places, and the mother-in-law didn't know what to prepare, so she was in a hurry for a long time before she brought a table and put a few unsatisfactory fruits in the courtyard.
Hua Wei frowned, this is too hasty, is it possible that the people in Kawaguchi Prefecture are so godly?
"You go to the shop to buy some snacks and fruits, pick a good one, dry tea, rice, a jar of soju, and buy three new wine glasses, as well as incense, remember not to miss the same." Hua Wei had to take some silver for her mother-in-law to go out and buy it.
These basic fasting offerings, the mother-in-law lived a handful of years, and she didn't know it.
Hua Weeping didn't sleep for a day and a night, and after bathing, I wanted to fall asleep, but I was always panicked in my heart, so I thought about saying goodbye to God, so that I could comfort myself and be more down-to-earth.
The whole body was like falling apart, slumped on the chair, waiting for the mother-in-law to come back from buying the fruit.
After Ziyu finished discussing with those shopkeepers, she came into the back house to look for Hua Cry, and when she saw that she was tired like that, her heart was tingling, so she walked to Hua Cry lightly, squatted down, and carefully picked up Hua Cry's little hand and held it.
"When you're tired, go to sleep on the couch, why do you sit here?" Ziyu asked softly.
"Ziyu, why don't you go to sleep?" Hua Wei squinted for a while just now, and she didn't open her eyes until Ziyu came, looking at him was actually very tired, but the man wouldn't say it.
"I was going to sleep with you, get up, come with me to sleep on the couch!" When Ziyu saw Hua weeping, her fatigue disappeared, and her face was full of love.
"Uh...... Then you go to sleep, I have to wait for my mother-in-law to come back, and I plan to put an incense case to worship the sky for a while. It turned out that Ziyu had already treated her as his wife, and after that night, Hua Weeping always found all kinds of excuses and pushed Ziyu away, and at this moment she had to force herself not to sleep.
"Oh, I haven't thought of this yet, Yin'er is thinking very much, planning is in the sky, if there is the blessing of God, the people of our county will be able to go more smoothly, Ziyu will not sleep, bathe and change clothes, and put the incense case at the gate of the county government for a while, so that everyone in the yali will come out to worship, and if the people on the street are willing, they can also worship the sky together." Ziyu nodded, and secretly said that Yin'er, this girl is thoughtful.
"Huh? So many people worship, but what I prepared was just a simple fruit, do I need to buy three fresh? "I originally wanted to burn a few sticks of incense by myself, but I didn't expect Ziyu to let everyone in the yali worship together, those fruits are really shabby.
"Silly Yin'er, the affairs of the people of Kawaguchi County are not your business alone, with the will of everyone, Fang is more pious, as for the offerings, God will not care about these, as long as you have a pious heart, it is enough!" Ziyu touched the black hair of the weeping flowers, brought his face closer, smelled the fragrance on his head, and couldn't help but kiss it.
As long as Ziyu makes the action of loving her, Hua Cry will be unnaturally nervous, but this nervousness has changed from resistance at the beginning to habit, but she doesn't care so much, and there is a feeling of heartbeat inexplicably, and sometimes she even wonders in a daze whether she is really in love with Ziyu.
Ziyu instructed her mother-in-law to bring the bath water into Hua Wai's house and take a bath in it, Hua Wai chuckled in her heart, this is too public, didn't she tell the people in the back house clearly that she and Ziyu were already husband and wife?
"Ziyu, this ...... Won't you go back to your room and take a bath? Hua asked weakly.
"Where is it not the same? Is Yin'er still shy? Hehe, Ziyu is going to live with Yin'er for the rest of his life, so start getting used to it now, hehehe! The smile on Ziyu's face couldn't be contained, and he only felt that Yin'er was so cute, they were all his people, and he was so afraid.
"Then you wash, I'll sleep for a while, and my mother-in-law will come back to wake me up when I buy fasting fruit." Hua Wei had to flash to the side and close his eyes, his heart kept beating, how good is this, he has only been in Kawaguchi Prefecture for a few months, and there are still many years in the future, if it goes on like this, he doesn't know how to clean it up.
"Yin'er doesn't wait for Ziyu to bathe?" Ziyu was a little surprised, the three wives and concubines in the back house, no need to command, they all rushed to come, but Ziyu didn't let them serve their own lives, now Yin'er is his woman, she didn't take the initiative to be intimate with herself, but avoided it, sure enough, Yin'er is different from those women in the back house, this is the woman he Ziyu loves and can't extricate himself.
Hua Wai pretended to fall asleep soon and didn't reply, how could she get back to this?
I don't know how long she slept, not for long, because she was still feeling very tired, and her face was woken up by a burst of itching.
It was Ziyu, who sat in front of the couch after washing, slid his fingers around her face, saw her long eyelashes flickering and opened her eyes, and then said softly: "The gate is all set, waiting for you to go out and pay tribute." ”
"Huh? Am I oversleeping? Hua Weeping immediately got up with a splitting headache.
"No, it's not started yet, everyone is waiting outside, let's go." Ziyu smiled, he saw that Hua weeping was sleeping soundly, and he didn't want to wake her up, but Jingtian wanted to be in the morning, and he couldn't worship after noon, if he didn't wake up, she would definitely blame him, so there was no way, everyone in the yali was waiting at the gate, and he couldn't wait all the time.
Hua Cry quilt Zi Yu held his hand, out of the county gate, and saw a wide incense case on the open space in front of him, the fruit was complete, tea, wine, and fruit were not lacking, and they were neatly placed.
Taking the time to look at both sides, the An family led the Wang family and the Tang family and a group of women and maids in the back house to stand on the right, and on the left was the county master book leading the officials and miscellaneous servants, and the streets were farther away on both sides of the crowd watching the lively people, these people had been waiting for a long time, and they all looked at Ziyu and Hua Weeping with incomprehensible eyes.
