Chapter 32: Who Are You Born With?
When Zhao Xibao woke up again, he smelled the smell of agarwood incense. When she opened her eyes, Chu Qinzhi put his arms around her waist and was lying beside her with his clothes closed.
Why haven't I seen it for a few days, the white chin has grown stubble, the hair is not crowned, and the brows are tightly locked when I sleep.
Zhao Xibao looked at her husband carefully, and she could only be described as handsome. Like the carving favored by God, the facial features are distinct, the black hair is dense like satin, under a pair of sword eyebrows are gentle Danfeng eyes, a tall nose, and moderately thick red lips are a little chapped.
This person, from Dongzhou City to the Governor's Mansion, a distance of thousands of miles, it only takes one day and one night to go back and forth. I was tired from running around on the road, and I didn't know how to rest well.
wanted to get up quietly, but unexpectedly woke up Chu Qinzhi. He reached out and touched Zhao Xibao's forehead and let go of his breath. "The fever is gone."
Chu Qinzhi opened the corner of the bed curtain, "Little Peach, bring a cup of warm water, and then go to the kitchen to bring the warm porridge with shredded chicken and bamboo shoots." ”
Chu Qinzhi turned his head to look at Zhao Xibao, "Madam, is there anything uncomfortable on your body?" ”
Zhao Xibao shook her head, her physical fitness was okay, and she didn't know how long she had been asleep, but now her brain was much more awake. It's just that when I first woke up, I was a little dizzy.
Chu Qinzhi looked at the energetic Zhao Xibao deeply, didn't hold back, and kissed it.
Seeing her lying on the bed with a high fever and a gloomy face, his anger towards Dongzhou Thorn Shi went to the next level.
His anxiety, worry, self-blame and worries were all sealed in his kiss, tossing and grinding, he just wanted to see Huanhuan Happy and Happy Bao'er.
Zhao Xibao looked shocked and glared. Nervous that there was nowhere to put her hands, Chu Qinzhi pressed against the corners of her lips, and said in a low voice: "Bao'er, close your eyes." ”
In the cognition of Zhao Xibao's little sisters, in addition to coveting the color of beautiful men, this person is also voice-controlled. For a nice sound, there is no resistance at all. used to chat with her for a few days, just to hear Qingqi's voice.
Zhao Xibao looked at her husband's emotional appearance, heard Chu Qinzhi's magnetic bass, softened her body, and lost her mind.
can't blame her for being unproductive, the main thing is that her husband is too good-looking.
Little Peach heard the young lady's soft humming at the door of the room, and brought the porridge back to the kitchen. Lord Wang, well done! treats the young lady's gentle turtle temperament, and educates her well.
The hibiscus tent is warm, and the spring night is short. The husband is bedridden. After Zhao Xibao was tossed, he slept with Chu Qinzhi for a while.
Wake up refreshed. I don't want to lie in bed with my husband, and I can't, this kind of experience has been deeply understood. often woke up in the morning, confined her to the bed, and bullied her again.
Out of the prison of moldy serves, he hasn't been out yet. She was about to go for a walk, and found that the personal maid beside her had become a little peach and a little peach.
Zhao Xibao wanted to drive Xicheng back, the prince was used to serving Xicheng, how could he put him by his side.
Xicheng touched the whiplash mark on his back, and his heart palpitated. When the prince returned, he asked for a punishment of thirty lashes. Xifeng is really ruthless.
When Xifeng drugged him afterwards, he snorted coldly: "This time, if the princess has something." Your life is not enough. ”
Moreover, he is not completely without benefits, and if he can have further contact with Little Peach, thirty lashes is also quite cost-effective.
Zhao Xibao and the others were walking on the street and saw a group of half-human-tall children bullying a young beggar.
Although the little beggar was dressed in tatters, his hair seemed to be tied in thousands of knots, and his face was black and gray, and he could not see his true appearance, but he could vaguely see his original fair complexion.
Although the little beggar was down, his eyes were clear and bright, and he looked at the children with fierce eyes, but he did not conflict with them, he protected his head, but he gritted his teeth and never begged for mercy.
What a resolute character.
Zhao Xibao Nunu mouthed, Xicheng stepped forward and shouted, and the children who beat people fled away one after another.
The little beggar got up and straightened his clothes and rubbed the injured parts. Zhao Xibao half-squatted in front of the little beggar, parallel to the little beggar's gaze.
"My sister will take you to eat delicious food, can you still walk on your feet?"
The little beggar shook his head and looked at Zhao Xibao and his party seriously. Respectfully said: "Don't bother the nobles, if you can, can you take me to wash up and give me clean clothes." ”
Zhao Xibao and Little Peach looked at each other, the capital has helped many little beggars, but this one is unique.
Zhao Xibao wanted to lead him forward, but he politely refused to thank him.
"Those kids just beat you, why didn't you fight back?"
"What's the use of paying it back, only to increase the struggle, they will only fight more fiercely. It's better to preserve your strength and get less injured. ”
They went to the nearest ready-to-wear shop, chose two suitable clothes, and took him back to the inn.
After some washing, I didn't expect the soft and cute little beggar I picked up on the side of the road, and his face turned into a serious cold-faced little Zhengtai.
Xiao Zhengtai leaned over, "I can still recognize a few words, and I recommend myself to be a nobleman's house slave." ”
Zhao Xibao said with great interest: "You chose that place, so that we can see your bullied side when we go out." Why? ”
Xiao Zhengtai was stunned for a moment, and his face returned to normal. "The noble man has good eyesight and sees through the boy's tricks."
Zhao Xibao continued to tease him, "Even if you lied just now and didn't admit it, I can't do anything about you." ”
Xiao Zhengtai said with a straight face: "Since I have recommended myself to be a house slave in front of the nobles, the house slaves must be loyal and trustworthy people. ”
Zhao Xibao nodded with interest, "Kid, you can look at your smart and clever appearance, not bad." ”
Xiao Zhengtai knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "The kid has no intention of offending nobles, just because he wants to make a living." So, come up with this decision. ”
Zhao Xibao held his cheeks and looked at him, "Boy, you were beaten at the door, first, to show your situation, and secondly, to see if I am a good-hearted person." Is it worth your refuge? ”
Xiao Zhengtai was silent, and Zhao Xibao then asked him: "You are so smart, why don't you make a good living in the mansion of dignitaries and nobles in Dongzhou City." ”
Xiao Zhengtai put his hands on the ground and kowtowed solemnly: "Please save the people of Dongzhou." ”
"How can you be sure that I can be saved?"
Xiao Zhengtai leaned on the ground and said, "You are dressed to travel, and you can see that you are either rich or expensive." I watched you get caught by the officials. In less than a night, you were released in the early hours of the next morning, which shows that the officials are also afraid of your power. So, I'm sure you must be a noble man who can save Dongzhou City. ”
Zhao Xibao remembered that he was arrested and put in prison, propped up his lazy body, sat upright and asked, "It turns out that you have been staring at me for a long time?" ”
Xiao Zhengtai raised his head and looked at Zhao Xibao with a firm look: "The drought in Dongzhou, most of the businessmen who come and go run out, and few run to the city. Your fleet may not be conspicuous, but if you pay close attention, you will see that you are well fed and clothed. The officials in Dongzhou City are incompetent, how can they devote themselves to their homes. For your own safety, I will pay special attention to your movements. ”
"Little children, why do you pay so much attention to the livelihood of Dongzhou, you are still too young, and you should not care." Zhao Xibao pretended to be indifferent, deliberately studying his mind.
Xiao Zhengtai glanced at Zhao Xibao's back, straightened his back, and said loudly: "The beginning of "Shangshu" praises Emperor Yao: Keming Junde, pro-Nine Clans. The nine tribes are harmonious, and the people are peaceful. The people are clear, and the nations are in harmony. Li Min is changing time. ”
"Boy, you know a lot, you just want to tell me, hello, I'm good, everyone will be okay. You think about the people of Dongzhou, but you also think about yourself. Right? Zhao Xibao wondered, this kid suddenly became nervous, like a little beast meeting the vigilance of a hunter. She looked back and found that Chu Qinzhi didn't know when, standing behind her.
Xiao Zhengtai lowered his head and refused to say more. Zhao Xibao pulled the corner of Chu Qinzhi's clothes and sighed: "Okay, I promise you, it's just that." ”
Xiao Zhengtai looked up happily and asked, "It's just what?" ”
Zhao Xibao knocked on his head, "It's just that you don't want to be a nobleman, change your name to sister." Also, you have to tell me how old you are, what your surname is, and where your household registration is. ”
Xiao Zhengtai's eyes were dim, and he endured patience for a long time before he said in a hoarse voice: "His real name is Feng Yelei, a native of Dongzhou City, his father passed away in the winter a year ago, and his mother followed his father. ”
Zhao Xibao sighed when he heard it, no wonder he was a child, he could be alone, and he must have suffered a lot of hardships in life if he was alone.
"Do you know what's going on outside Dongzhou City?"
"It's a long story, and it goes back a year to the performance appraisal of officials."
Today, the Holy Saint believes that "the foundation of law and order is to win souls", and attaches great importance to the performance appraisal system of officials. Directly responsible for the performance appraisal of officials is the Meritorious Service Division, which is subordinate to the Provincial Department of Officials of the Central Shangshu Province, and is "the examination course for civil and military officials inside and outside the palm".
Chu Qinzhi sat on the chair, closed his eyes and pondered, and seemed to understand the joints: "In addition, there are three directors, thirteen people in Lingshi, twenty-five people in Shulingshi, and four people in charge of performance appraisal. “
Zhao Xibao thought about last year: "That performance appraisal, the eldest brother said that he was the chief examiner, I remember, he was still very nervous, in Tanghu Lou Wenshu, because he was too tired, he accidentally knocked the candle flame on the table, fortunately found it in time." Nearly burned down my library. ”
Chu Qinzhi's eyes seemed to be in front of him that day, and he couldn't help but purse his lips and smile. "The performance appraisal is divided into internal examination and external examination, and the internal examination is the emperor's direct performance appraisal of the prince, the three grades and above under the Zhongshu Sect, and the five major governors of foreign officials. The external examination is the assessment of officials below the fourth grade by the Ministry of Officials. Below the fourth grade, it is divided into two categories: Beijing officials and foreign officials, and performance appraisals are carried out separately. ”
Zhao Xibao then asked Xiao Zhengtai, "The previous term failed to pass the performance appraisal, so he was demoted and transferred, so the new assassin Shi took over the job?" ”
Xiao Zhengtai's face was heavy: "Yes and no." ”
? What kind of dumb riddle to play?
