Chapter 231: Western Candy
Mrs. County Ling quietly and carefully looked at the reborn Qiao painting screen.
The woman in her prime is like a piece of beautiful jade that washes away the dirt on the surface, and only a little bit is exposed, which is enough to see the elegance of the peerless in the meantime.
Her apricot eyes were bright and calm, as if reflecting the brightest clouds in the sky; Obviously she is a village woman working in the fields, but the skin of her body is white and fine, as if it is made of tender tofu.
In the end, Mrs. County's eyes fell on Qiao Huaping's satin-like long waterfall hair.
There are no ornaments on the woman's head, just a simple apricot blossom wrapped silver hairpin, and the hair is pulled up, but the more light the jewelry, the more the luster of the hair itself is dazzling, and her whole person is shining.
When Mrs. County Ling saw the end, she couldn't help but gasp.
In the past, she had a birthmark on her face, and everyone always looked at the birthmark on her face, ignoring the beauty of her eyebrows.
Sun Shike didn't notice her aunt's abnormality, she was holding Qiao Huaping's hand in surprise and sigh, as if she had returned to the girlhood when she was still waiting for words.
She asked with concern, "Sister Qiao, what's going on with the case ahead?" ”
Qiao Huaping said with a smile: "Those thieves, the human and material evidence are all there, and the county magistrate has taken them into custody." She smiled brightly, "The people are praising Lord County Ling for being the Lord of the Blue Sky." ”
Sun Shike was also very happy when he heard it.
Hearing this in the ears of the county commander, Mrs. County finally came back to her senses a little, and couldn't help asking, "What kind of case is it?" ”
Qiao Huaping told the story.
Mrs. County Ling looked at Qiao Huaping's increasingly beautiful face, and said in her heart, such a pretty widow, no wonder the thief can't hold it.
Of course, it would be rude to say that. Mrs. County Ling only said: "Such a bad act, the lord will definitely punish him severely." ”
Sun Shike nodded.
After chatting for a while, Mrs. County Ling smiled and instructed the maid to set the meal, and said to Qiao: "Has Mrs. Qiao ever eaten?" Today is also your fate with Sister Ke, so let's stay and eat together. ”
Qiao Huaping said apologetically: "Madame Rongyu, I came to the county seat today to escort the thief, and several people from Yiqi Village in our village came with me to testify for me." They are still outside, so I asked them to find a teahouse to rest and wait for me......"
Mrs. Prefectural Commander understood.
It is unpleasant to be rejected, but the county lady thought about it, which showed that this Qiao family was not a powerful person. Such a person is also reassuring to associate with Sister Ke.
Mrs. County Ling showed a little smile on her face: "Okay, I'll let the maid send you." ”
Sun Shike was a little reluctant, and took Qiao Huaping's hand: "Sister Qiao, are you leaving?" ”
It was difficult for her to make a trip, and this time she missed it, and next time she didn't know that she would be able to meet it again in the Year of the Monkey.
Qiao Huaping saw that Sun Shike seemed to have lost some weight, and his heart paused slightly, thinking that Zhu Shoubei was not good to her?
But this kind of matter between husband and wife, Qiao Huaping is naturally not good for an outsider to ask, she softened her voice, and only smiled: "The yard of my house has been built, and it is quite spacious." If you have free time, you can also go to my little seat or two. ”
A flash of light flashed in Sun Shike's eyes, and he immediately said: "Okay, it's decided!" ”
I'm afraid that Qiao Huaping will regret it.
Qiao Huaping smiled: "It's good that Miss Sun doesn't dislike it." ”
Sun Shike had the heart to say more to Qiao Huaping, but he didn't know what to say for a while, so he reluctantly asked Mo Qian to send Qiao Huaping out.
It's just that when Mo Qian came back, he took another handful of things in his hand and handed it to Sun Shike: "Madam, this is given by Mrs. Qiao." It is said that she accidentally got candy from Westerners, called toffee, which is not very different from ours. ”
Sun Shike looked curiously at the handful of "Western candy" with gorgeous sugar coating in her hand, she took out a piece a little clumsy and stiff, peeled it off carefully, and put it in her mouth.
The rich milky and sweet flavor spreads in the mouth.
It was actually delicious that Sun Shike had never tasted.
Sun Shike's face rarely showed a little girlish excitement: "Auntie, this Western candy is really delicious!" Auntie try it too! ”
Like a treasure, she peeled one for the county lady and fed it to the county lady with her own hands.
Mrs. County Commander originally wanted to talk nonsense, but seeing the innocent smile on her niece's face that she had not seen for a long time, Mrs. County Commander paused, and let Sun Shike stuff the Western candy into her mouth.
After eating this meal, Mrs. County Ling had another meal, and then couldn't help but bow her head and praised: "It's really delicious." ”
Sun Shike laughed happily.
Mrs. County Commander couldn't help but laugh.
Xindao, this Qiao's really has a heart.
When it was dusk, Zhu Shoubei got off duty and came to the house to pick up Sun Shike, and Wang County ordered him to stay and drink a lot of wine.
After drinking, Zhu Shoubei and Sun Shike were allowed to go home.
Wang Xianling drank wine and came to Mrs. Xianling drunk.
The county magistrate's wife looked faint, and instructed the maid to prepare water and wait for Wang County's order to wash.
A hot handkerchief covered Wang Xianling's face, and he heard his wife's tone open lightly: "Master, how are you going to judge Qiao's case today?" ”
Wang Xianling was stunned, and reacted for a while before realizing what his wife was talking about.
Wang Xianling remembered the silver money that the family members of the thieves secretly stuffed into him in the afternoon, although it was not much, he did not dislike it!
Wang Xianling coughed: "Anyway, those thieves were injured on their legs, and they were punished." In my opinion, just hit a few boards and close them for a few days and put them back. ”
Mrs. County Commander frowned behind Wang County Commander.
But her tone was still steady: "That Qiao's is our Sister Ke'er's life-saving benefactor - I came here today, I saw that Sister Ke'er likes her very much, and she will go to Qiao's house as a guest soon." If you let those thieves go, they will go to find Qiao's trouble, and they will inadvertently bump into Sister Ke'er, or make Sister Ke'er annoyed-what do you make Zhu Shoubei think? ”
Wang Xianling was stunned for a moment, and his drunken mind thought for a while, and then he didn't care: "This, this is also easy to do." According to the law, those thieves should also be locked up for half a year, so let them be locked up first - half a year, which is enough for Sister Ke'er to be a guest. ”
Mrs. County Commander almost sneered.
Wang Xianling turned around, and the county magistrate's face was still as virtuous and virtuous as ever: "The master is really wise." No wonder I heard that the people outside today are praising the old man as the big man of the blue sky. ”
Wang Xianling stroked his beard a little proudly and laughed.
He thinks that although he is a little greedy, he is also a good official who thinks about the people, and he has done a lot of practical things, so he naturally deserves this sentence of Qingtian master.
……
said that at the other end, Qiao Huaping left the county government and went directly to the appointed place to meet with Sister Du and them.
A few people found a place to eat together, and then met here after an appointment, and everyone dispersed and went shopping with their own baby buyers.
Qiao Huaping came out today, without children, but became a lonely person.
She simply walked on her own.
