It has been more than half a month since Shilang, the official of Zhongzhou, took office, and it stands to reason that most of the prefectures and counties in Zhongzhou should be transferred.

Most of the household audits go through the motions, twelve months a year, and it takes a month to check the accounts, which has delayed a lot of effort, not to mention that no matter how detailed the investigation is, it can't be checked into their own pockets.

However, this kind of truth that even petty officials who are not in the product understand, but the newly appointed Shen Langzhong does not seem to understand it.

Xu was because he had a dispute with the son of the prefect family when he first set foot in Fucheng, Shen Qianqiu had been in Ru'an Mansion for half a month at this time and was reluctant to move his nest, and the account books that should be checked were also checked, and he did not find out why he had no intention of going elsewhere.

……

In a large mansion on the north side of the city, a young man in luxurious clothes was stamping back and forth, and a gloomy color flashed on the man's face from time to time, which made his handsome face lose a lot of color.

Just as he became more and more anxious, the middle-aged man sitting quietly on the side finally couldn't bear it anymore, frowned and said:

"Can't you settle down, you can't sit still just like this, what kind of system will you become?"

When the man heard this, he stopped, walked quickly to the table and sat down, picked up the tea and put it down, and said with a worried face:

"Dad, how can you sit still? That guy is patrolling the surrounding counties, and if he finds out about the accounting problems, won't we ......?"

Before the young man could finish speaking, he was directly interrupted by the middle-aged man:

"How many times have I told you, speak quietly. All the officials under the rule of Runan Mansion have already greeted their fathers, even if there is really any mistake, they will never be able to find out on our father and son, so you put your heart in your stomach.

Also, how long has it been since you've been out and about? Let me tell you, Juan embroidery is no better than other concubines in the house, you can come and go at any time, she is the righteous daughter of Zou Shilang of the household department.

A while ago, the court turmoil caused many big trees to fall, and a few of them were the backers of my Zhou family, and now the trees are falling and scattered, you and I, father and son, have to point to the little woman.

You have been messing around outside for so many years, and your father has never asked, and now it's time to take care of it, the turmoil in the capital has not subsided, and it is very likely that Hubu Shangshu will retire at the end of the year, and then Lord Zou will be the first person to replace him.

Listen to my father's advice, don't care whether Najuan embroidery is Zou Shilang's righteous daughter or concubine, just treat her well, and temporarily endure it for the sake of glory and wealth. ”

Zhou Wei said in the end, there was a little sigh of emotion between the lines, which made Zhou Kang on the side can't help but be curious, listening to this tone, it seems that the father is from here.

But even if he was given a hundred guts, he didn't dare to say this, so he could only nod honestly and say:

"The child knows."

As soon as Zhou Kang finished speaking, he seemed to think of something again, and leaned in and whispered:

"Dad, I feel that Shen Qianqiu will be a scourge sooner or later, do you want me to find some bandits to intercept him along the way, don't worry, their hands and feet are very clean, ......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a crisp sound of "pop", Zhou Kang covered his cheeks and looked at his father in disbelief.

Zhou Wei trembled and pointed to Zhou Kangdao:

"Why did I give birth to such an indisputable thing as you?"

Zhou Kang's slap was inexplicable, but he didn't dare to have the slightest disobedience, lowered his head and said with a gloomy face:

"The child knows it's wrong."

"Get out!"

……

Zhou Kang walked out of the main hall and walked all the way in the direction of the mansion gate, muttering as he walked:

"This old thing, it's not uncommon for you to do shady things, what kind of medicine did you take today?"

At this moment, a bewitching woman came to meet her, the woman was in her early thirties, seven or eight years older than Zhou Kang, and in addition to her bewitching figure, she also had a fox statue.

When the woman saw the angry Zhou Kang, she said:

"Xianggong, where are you going?"

Zhou Kang was angry, and when he looked up, he found that it was a woman who he regarded as rags on weekdays, so he didn't have a good breath:

"Women, what do you care about so much?"

Hearing this, the woman's eyes lowered and said:

"Are you coming back tonight?"

Zhou Kang did not answer, and his head would not go out of the house.

……

At the north gate of Ru'an Mansion, a man and a woman came with a horse, it was Shen Qianqiu and Li Mizhen, who had been away from the city for many days.

Although Li Mizhen did not wear the self-deceptive men's clothes, it was inconvenient for her daughter's family to show her face after all, so she wore a hat covered with white veil and entered the city, and the woman couldn't help but lift the veil and sniffed the air in the city:

"Brother, it's the smell of roast chicken."

Shen Qianqiu, who had worked hard for several days and still had nothing to gain, was still depressed, but after hearing the woman's words, his depression suddenly subsided a lot, and he smiled slightly:

"It just so happens that I'm hungry too, let's go, let's go eat first."

As soon as the two walked a short distance along the street, they saw Zhou Dashao with a gloomy face, Li Mizhen had never had a good impression of this empty son, so he directly pulled down the veil at this moment and pretended not to see it.

Although Shen Qianqiu didn't like this person either, he at least had to get by on the scene, so he arched his hand and said goodbye:

"Zhou Gongzi is in a hurry, where are you going?"

Zhou Kang didn't notice the plainly dressed two at first, but when he heard the words, he stopped, and after seeing the other party's appearance clearly, his face became more and more difficult to look at, and he glanced at the woman who was covering her face with a white veil next to Shen Qianqiu, and said directly:

"Go to the kiln, what, come together?"

When the woman heard this, she snorted secretly, and she became more and more disgusted with the good-skinned boy in front of her, but Shen Qianqiu was much more determined, and said with a slight smile:

"I still have official business to be busy below, so I won't bother Zhou Gongzi Yaxing."

Zhou Kang didn't take the opportunity to find fault again, arched his hand, and turned to leave.

……

In the restaurant, Li Mizhen, who took off his hat, gritted his teeth, "This hateful guy is not restrained at all in front of the lady, and you must not learn from him when he says such obscene words, not only to go to that kind of fireworks and willow lane, but also to speak it shamelessly." ”

The woman's tone, where is the sister's attitude towards her brother, is clearly the mother's warning to her father-in-law, the woman obviously noticed this, and her cheeks were flushed as soon as she finished speaking.

Seeing this, Shen Qianqiu showed an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't say anything, just a light "um", and then picked up the tea and drank it casually.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was a little embarrassing, Li Mizhen didn't know if he was really hungry or what's wrong, he lowered his head to eat the whole time, and Shen Qianqiu on the side was much more natural, adding water to each other's dishes from time to time, and eating a meal harmoniously.

……

After nightfall, Shen Qianqiu sat alone in the study and looked down at the file, the father and son of the Zhou family did everything without leakage, so that Shen Langzhong could not be checked, after all, if it could be easily checked, I was afraid that he would have been dealt with by the attendant consultant who led the team before, and it would not be his turn.

Thinking of this, Shen Qianqiu rubbed his eyebrows, he boasted in front of the prince that he had won the champion of Lianzhong Sanyuan, but now he has done it, but he is still far from the first auxiliary minister in the other party's mouth.

The Shen family is now leaning against the big tree to enjoy the shade, but if they can't show decent ability, they will still be looked down upon after all, although they know that the prince is not the master who turns his face and denies people, but out of the arrogance of a scholar, Shen Qianqiu does not want to admit defeat easily.

At this time, there was a soft knock on the door, and Li Mizhen's voice came from outside the door:

"Brother, there are people outside asking to see you."
