The rice was ready, a bowl of hot noodles with an omelette and some chopped green onions floating on top.

A small plate of pickles is placed on the side.

Tao Yulian lowered her head and stood at the dining table, "There are only these left at home, the master will eat first, and when it is time for dinner, I will go to weigh some meat and come back." ”

Bai Yu felt very sad and didn't know what to say, so he sat down silently and ate noodles.

Seeing that she was still standing next to her, and she didn't dare to move, Bai Yu scolded He Zhiyu, what kind of majesty has become at home?

He was in a tangle and didn't know what to do.

If he followed He Zhiyu's prestige at home, he would definitely be able to hide his identity better, but he really couldn't bear to treat a good woman like this.

On the contrary, if he is good to Tao Yulian, it will not be in line with He Zhiyu's prestige at home, and it will be easy for Tao Yulian to identify him.

After thinking about it for a while, he still decided to be nicer to Tao Yulian, even if there was a possibility of revealing his identity.

"In the years I have been away, is the family okay?"

Bai Yu asked softly, trying to keep his voice as gentle as possible.

Even so, Tao Yulian still trembled, "It's still ..... OK. ”

Bai Yu looked at her strangely, it seemed that He Zhiyu's "majesty" at home was even more powerful than he imagined.

It may be true that "being righteous on the outside and having a good relationship with neighbors" may be true.

often "buy small gifts for my wife", maybe just for outsiders to see, in fact, at home as a blessing.

Bai Yu ate the noodles silently for a while, and slowly spoke, "Over the years since I left home, I have thought a lot, I have thought of the warmth of home, I have remembered your kindness, I have remembered that I didn't treat you well before, and I regret it for a while, from now on, I will not be like before again, I will treat you well." ”

deliberately said these so that his "personality change" would not surprise and doubt Tao Yulian too much.

Tao Yulian glanced at him in a daze, and quickly lowered her head.

Bai Yu asked, "Can you give me a chance to mend my ways?" ”

Tao Yulian's voice was like a mosquito, "Hmm." ”

Bai Yu thought to herself, maybe she wouldn't be able to accept it for a while, and she didn't have to rush for a while, she would slowly and naturally get used to it.

As soon as he finished eating, Tao Yulian made tea and brought it over, and put away the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen to wash.

Bai Yu took a sip of tea, walked out of the living room, walked into the kitchen, opened the lid of the rice cylinder and looked at it, there was still a little rice left, and the dishes were only a jar of pickles, a few greens and two eggs.

Sensing him coming in, Tao Yulian lowered her head and stiffened herself to wash the dishes.

Bai Yu explained, "I haven't been back for so many years, I always have to know about the situation at home...... In addition to this food, how much money does the family have? ”

"I'll get it."

Tao Yulian put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand and was about to go to the house to get the money.

"You don't have ......to show it to me," Bai Yu waved his hand, "I'll just ask." ”

Tao Yulian had no choice but to continue washing the dishes and said softly, "Two hundred and thirty-two texts." ”

Bai Yu sighed, two hundred and thirty-two texts, what an accurate number, I remember it so clearly, I really lived a careful life.

Five hundred wen in the Great Qian Dynasty is equal to one tael of silver, which he knows, that is to say, there is less than half a tael of silver at home.

Thinking of the two taels of silver spent on the river painting boat in Linfu County, he felt a pain in his flesh, and he didn't know that money was expensive and oil and salt were expensive.

"After I left, didn't there be a fortune in the yamen?"

"At the beginning, there was hair in the first year, but there was no hair in the future."

"Where's the kid?"

"I study in the academy and come back at the end of every month."

"I'll find a way to get some money back, I've worked hard for you all these years." ......

Almost Bai Yu asked, Tao Yulian answered, as if interrogating a prisoner, she didn't dare to say half a word of gossip.

This is also good, if it is too enthusiastic Mrs., he really doesn't know what to do, if he can't control it, won't he become a thief?

Although he thinks that there is nothing wrong with being a thief, he has to take his time, and when his feelings come, it will naturally come naturally, otherwise he will not be able to get over this hurdle in his heart.

"By the way, I heard that some disciples are harassing you?"

Bai Yu remembered this, "Who is it?" ”

Tao Yulian's beautiful face turned pale instantly, her body trembled and knelt down, and she said with a crying voice, "Master, I swear that I have never done anything to be sorry for you, your brother-in-law helped to beat those people away." ”

Bai Yu held her arm and let her up, "I didn't say that you did something sorry for me, I just asked who those disciples were?" ”

Tao Yulian hesitated, "Zhang Qicai, those people." ”

Which Zhang Qicai? Bai Yu didn't ask, but he could always ask, "Okay, I know." ”

He took out the hosta he had just bought and gave it to Tao Yulian, and some snacks were originally bought for children, and they were also given to Tao Yulian, and women should also love to eat them.

Tao Yulian hurriedly took the hosta, trotted into the house, put it on in the mirror, trotted out and stood in front of him to show him.

"It's good-looking." Bai Yu smiled, but secretly scolded He Zhiyu in his heart for being so majestic at home, every time he bought a small gift for Tao Yulian, he had to wear it immediately, otherwise, Tao Yulian would not have such a "conditioned" reaction.

After chatting with her for a while, Bai Yu said, "I have something to go out", went into the house to change into regular clothes, and walked out of the yard with his hands on his back.

Tao Yulian looked at his back attentively, her eyes were slightly red, she wiped her tears, and continued to wash her clothes.

Bai Yu came to a no-man's corner, switched the role card, and became a tiger state, which was his own originally handsome appearance.

After a little inquiry, I learned the details of Zhang Qicai, which is nothing more than a group of lazy people in Qifeng County, who often bully the weak and flirt with women from good families.

"Two ways."

"One, at night, I will go directly to their house, punch their dogs one by one, and take away their money and property, creating the illusion of robbing the house, and the trouble is that the yamen will track it down."

"Second, use the connections in the yamen to clean them up."

Bai Yu thought about it for a while, and then chose the second method, if you can use yang, there is no need to use yin, and if you can use darkness, why use dark.

He changed back to the inspection role card, returned home, and came out in official clothes.

Tao Yulian glanced at him strangely, lowered her head and didn't dare to ask more.

What a woman...... Bai Yu sighed with emotion and went straight to the yamen of Qifeng County.

The result can be imagined, in ten years, the county order has changed three times, and the chief book, the teacher, the warden, and the inspector have also changed two or three times, and they are no longer those colleagues ten years ago.

"It's better that way, I don't have to deal with them."

Bai Yu didn't come to the yamen to find them, he didn't need these people to clean up a splash like Zhang Qicai.

He directly found the head catcher in the yamen.

It is worth mentioning that there are high-grade official positions in the county government, and the above will be transferred and adjusted, but there are no high-grade officials and fast arresters, who are generally locals, who have worked in the county government for a lifetime, and, when they are old, the son inherits his father's business, and can also take over and pass it on from generation to generation.

Therefore, most of these people are still the "old people" ten years ago, and Bai Yu is still a little thin.

"Just now, when I was patrolling the streets, I heard that Lord He was back, and I still didn't believe it, but when I saw me, I had to believe it, I was really as young as ten years ago."

Like everyone else's reaction, Headcatcher was surprised.

Bai Yu didn't bother to go around in circles, and went straight to the point, "This official came to you, there is something I want to trouble you." ”

The head catcher groaned for a moment, "It should be that Zhang Qicai and those people used to harass his sister-in-law." ”

It is worthy of catching the head, and his heart is clear, Bai Yu said, "That's right, the official must let them know the consequences, and let the people of the entire Qifeng County know, otherwise, where will the official's face go?" ”

"When I learned that they were harassing my sister-in-law, I wanted to deal with them because Lord He had taken care of them, but there were difficulties in the lowly position, so it was difficult to move them. ”
