Chapter 1074: Temptation
In the next few days, there was no movement on Jiang Jiuniang's side, but the Cao family's side made a little ugly, the little beggar lived up to expectations, and the publicity in the city was boiling, everyone knew that the prefect was going to attack a little beggar, so even some of the things he did before were told and scolded miserably.
Before Jiang Jiuniang came, Lu Baichuan led people to recapture the city, and he had been guarding the border defense line outside the city, so he naturally had no time to take care of the affairs in the city.
At that time, the prefect did not do anything, and the refugees on the street did not want to settle down, nor did they set up porridge sheds to relieve the people, and some people were beaten out at the door of the government office.
It was Jiang Jiuniang who came and took the initiative to say that he wanted to give free medical treatment to the people in the city, and King Jing personally came forward to put pressure on the government, and the government reluctantly began to act, but it was also full of childish spirit, and it was really not as heroic as Jiang Jiuniang.
Now that life in the city is getting better, everyone has forgotten the bad things before, but this Cao Zheng is not a man, and he actually started to attack a little beggar, so he awakened the memory of the people.
For a time, the city was full of voices condemning Cao Zheng.
The people are not stupid, they know that Jiang Jiuniang is still living in the city now, and they will definitely not turn a blind eye if things get into trouble, but after a while, when the army returns to the court, Jiang Jiuniang will naturally leave, and no one will be able to help them uphold justice at that time.
So, be sure to take advantage of this time to settle things.
As a result, the voices in the city denouncing the prefect became louder.
This incident directly exceeded the expectations of the Cao family, Cao Shulan hated the little beggar so much that she wanted to send someone to deal with it and quickly prevent the trouble, but Cao Zheng stopped her.
"It's all this time, why are you still so stupid!"
Cao Zheng was so angry that he fell ill during this time, and now he is even more angry when he sees that his daughter is still doing stupid things.
"If you want to solve it, you have to solve it as soon as possible, now that little beggar has made such a big fuss, there must be someone behind him, once he has an accident, won't we fall into the hands of others? You can grow your brains! ”
Cao Zheng almost roared, but if this daughter was smarter and did things cleanly, there would be no bad things now.
Cao Shulan was so frightened that she shed tears: "Then what should we do now, woo woo woo ......"
Originally, she just wanted to let Peng Yuan miscarry, make Qin Jian disgusted with Peng Yuan, and then take the opportunity to take the position, such a simple thing, how to do it is so difficult?
People outside don't know the truth of the matter, thinking that these things were done by her father, which directly affects her father's official career, and if she doesn't solve the problem after being returned by King Jing and others, her father will not escape the blame.
"I suspect that this thing should not have been done by Jiang Jiuniang and them, the two women are not so capable, it is estimated that there are other people behind the scenes."
Cao Zheng forced himself to calm down, it was useless to be anxious at this time, he had to prescribe the right medicine.
"Who else would there be?"
Cao Shulan mentioned her throat in her heart, but she didn't expect that other people would get involved, but this is actually a good thing in Cao Zheng's eyes.
Cao Zheng did not answer directly, but ordered: "You find an opportunity to probe the attitude of Jiang Jiuniang and others, see their attitude towards this matter, come back and tell me, and then make a decision." ”
"Yes."
Cao Shulan nodded, although she was a little reluctant in her heart, but this matter was caused by herself, and she still had to solve it by herself.
Peng Yuan was frightened and easily stopped going out, only Jiang Jiuniang still insisted on going to the workshop to have a look.
The courtyard is not very far from the workshop, and Jiang Jiuniang is used to walking alone, and shopping to buy some food by the way.
Cao Shulan picked Jiang Jiuniang to come out and meet by chance when she was eating a roadside stall.
"Mrs. Lu, I didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence! I also like to eat this ravioli! ”
said, let the boss cook a bowl for herself, the boss looked at her silently, felt that her eyes were very raw, and there was a faint disgust in her eyes, that's it, and said that she liked his ravioli?
The boss quietly rolled her eyes, Cao Shulan didn't notice it, she consciously sat down at Jiang Jiuniang's table, smiled and talked to Jiang Jiuniang.
Jiang Jiuniang didn't expect this situation, she dared to go out to see herself, her face was not obvious, and she greeted her very friendly.
"Miss Cao is so Yaxing, she came so early."
Jiang Jiuniang continued to eat her own, taking the time to perfunctory Cao Shulan.
Cao Shulan saw that she had a gentle attitude, as if she knew anything, and continued: "Yes, this wonton is more to my liking, and I will come to eat it when I am fine." ”
"Well, it's good, Miss Cao and I are really in the same way! Don't look at this stall small, but the wontons cooked by the boss are called authentic! ”
As he was talking, the boss sent Cao Shulan's wontons up, and when he heard Jiang Jiuniang praising his skills, he immediately smiled and said: "Madame is really praised, a small business, barely making ends meet, how can Mrs. say it so well?" But it's a villain's honor to be liked by Mrs.! ”
Jiang Jiuniang walks this street every day, basically every family is cooked, and the small vendors on the street know her, know her identity and what she does for the people in the city, and respect her very much.
"Naturally, I praised you because of your good craftsmanship, don't be too modest!"
Jiang Jiuniang smiled and talked to the boss, not caring at all that there was Cao Shulan sitting next to her.
However, Cao Shulan was not angry, but came to a conclusion in her heart because of Jiang Jiuniang's reaction and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why doesn't Miss Cao eat it?"
When Jiang Jiuniang turned around after chatting, she found that Cao Shulan hadn't moved her chopsticks yet, and she kindly reminded her, with a smile on her face, not to mention how friendly she was.
"It's eaten! I just saw that my wife and the people around me knew each other, and I was a little curious. ”
She was also in a much more relaxed mood, even if she was a little disgusted that the roadside stall was not clean, she still took a bite.
"Harm, I pass by this road every day, and I often eat in this area, and I slowly got to know each other. Didn't Miss Cao say that she often came here to eat, wouldn't she talk to the people here? ”
Jiang Jiuniang opened her mouth seemingly unintentionally, with a look of concern on her face.
Cao Shulan had already thought of a countermeasure, so she whispered in embarrassment: "My father is strict and doesn't let me come out casually, I usually run out in disguise, so naturally I don't dare to publicize it." ”
Jiang Jiuniang immediately showed a look of me understanding, and chatted with her sympathetically for a while, and then said that there was something else in the workshop, so let's go first.
As soon as Jiang Jiuniang left, Cao Shulan immediately put down the chopsticks in her hand, just now she ate several wontons in a row in order to be realistic, and now she only feels disgusting.
She hurriedly left with the maid, and the owner of the wonton seller came to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, saw the remaining half of the wontons, broke a bite, and said, "It's embarrassing to say that I like my wontons, it's really unlucky!" These people are hypocritical, how can they be as approachable as Mrs. Lu! ”
