Chapter 236: Kung Pao Chicken Ding (Back to the City)
The official woke up slowly, only to feel cold all over his body, and quickly stood up, rubbed his arms vigorously, and stomped his feet for a while, which eased up a little.
Looking down, he suddenly saw that the sheet had been lifted, and the dead man was facing him with a pale face.
The officer's hairs stood up instantly, his heart was beating "thump", and he hurriedly stepped forward and bent down to recover the broken sheet.
He turned his head to look at the temple behind him, and began to chant the blessings of the bodhisattvas from all walks of life.
The early morning light dispersed the mist, and the sound of gongs and drums suddenly sounded on the mountain, "The water in the county town has receded, everyone has gone down the mountain in an orderly manner, and idle people are not allowed to steal other people's property, and if there is a traitor, the department will severely punish them!" The officer's voice then rang out.
Qiuli had already gotten up early, although Zhang was poor in his early years, he was very obsessed with the rules of the rich and noble.
Those methods of tossing people have been learned in a good way, and Qiu Li has to come over every morning to mention her life, and wait for her to finish breakfast before letting her go.
I probably didn't sleep well last night, and my face was elongated, but after hearing the sound of gongs and drums outside, my face was better.
"Quick, inform the master and young master, let's hurry back to the city." She can't care about teaching Qiu Li a lesson, although the house is locked, but she also has to beware of being robbed.
Qiu Li carried a large bag and a small bag down the mountain road, not far from the county town of Junye, the water has subsided, and the road to the city is crowded with people.
There are very few houses that have collapsed, and everyone is like an arrow and anxious, but fortunately, there are people from the government to maintain order, although there is some chaos, but no one makes trouble.
When I finally returned to Chen's Mansion with great difficulty, I had to clean up, the terrain of Chen's Mansion was high, and there were not many places where water entered.
The damage to Chen's house was extremely small, and she was naturally happy as the head of the house.
Even the people who took Qiu Li and others were generous, and an extra dish was added to the lunch meal.
The county seat, near the city gate, became a new foothold for refugees who had been transferred down from the mountains.
It is said that the soup soup will last for 6 days, and it can be stopped when the disaster relief food is in place.
After eating lunch, Young Master Chen took Jiaxing over to find Qiu Li.
Today, he is wearing a royal blue dark purple moire tuanhua brocade robe, with a warm water-colored jade pendant tied around his waist, and a folding fan in his hand, looking particularly energetic.
This person is quite handsome just by looking at his appearance, but as soon as he says a few words, his true form will be revealed, and the teacher has invited a lot, but he has not even been able to write a complete article.
However, the Chen family was originally a merchant, and they didn't expect him to enter the official career, just be literate, settle accounts, and be sensible.
The inner city of the county is not big, the north is the county yamen, there are a total of four squares in the inner city, the merchants generally live in the south square, the local customs, the north government, the south business.
As soon as he went out, Lao Huang was already waiting at the door in the carriage, Chen Shouye quickly sat in the car, Qiu Li and Xiaowu Jiaxing followed behind the carriage, and several people walked to the outer city.
In this evil feudal society, Qiu Li looked at Chen Shouye, who didn't feel anything wrong at all, and secretly scolded a few words.
Fortunately, it has been a rainy day recently, the road surface is exceptionally clean, there is no dust behind the carriage, Jiaxing is used to it, and he chats quietly with Qiuli while walking.
The most asked is Xiao Ju's movements, this Jiaxing has ideas about Xiao Ju, they are all born in the family, and there is a great chance of getting married in the future, Qiu Li replied without a word, it costs shoes to walk like this, Qiu Li glanced at the ready-to-wear shop next to the street, it seems that it will not be long before I have to buy shoes.
When I got out of the gate of the inner city, I saw the scene of the tent in full swing, Qiu Li saw that the peasant family and someone brought the cattle and sheep over, and it didn't take long for the livestock to be driven aside, and the farmer family watched by themselves, and quarreled with each other from time to time.
The ground in the outer city is very dirty, but the livestock don't care about this, they urinate everywhere, and the farmers don't feel dirty, and they just take the dung basket to collect the dung.
Several officials are maintaining order, and the scribes are busy in the past few days, and they have lost a lot of weight.
The soup kitchen was already set up, curtains were hung, people were moving around, and a few poorly dressed children were looking curiously at the door.
Chen Shouye jumped out of the carriage, looked down at the road, carefully bypassed the dirt, and when he reached the cloud banner hanging with soup kitchen, he stretched out his folding fan to lift the door curtain.
Inside was a few rough mothers-in-law carrying rice and grain, and Ji Suniang was registering on the side, and in addition, there was a jade-faced Langjun standing aside and whispering the quantity.
Chen Shouye suddenly became alarmed.
He turned his head to look at Qiu Li, Qiu Li understood in seconds, immediately walked forward quickly, walked into the shed, and called out to Ji Su Niang crisply: "Sister Ji." ”
Ji Suniang turned her head, and when she saw that it was Qiu Li, she suddenly showed a smile, and a small fluffy head also poked out from under her feet, Qiu Li smiled and leaned down and touched Xiao Tuanzi's head and said, "Are you obedient?" ”
"Bang Bang" Xiao Tuanzi wagged his little tail and jumped forward and backward.
"Xiao Tuanzi likes you." Ji Suniang stood up.
The jade-faced Langjun beside him spoke: "Sister, who are they?" ”
The folding fan in Chen Shouye's hand unfolded, revealing a free and easy smile, waiting for Ji Suniang's introduction.
"This is the young master of the Chen Mansion, and this is his sister-in-law." Ji Suniang's introduction is very concise.
She then pointed to the jade-faced Langjun and said, "He is my cousin. ”
Chen Shouye's heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately put on a humble appearance, and arched his hand: "Under Chen Shouye, look up for a long time." ”
"Where, where, in the next season, pass the ceremony, the words are cautious, I heard that Uncle Tang is sick, and I specially came to visit one or two in Junye County." Ji Shenyan is about 20 years old, and he looks polite, and he explained his identity and purpose, and immediately won Chen Shouye's favor.
Chen Shouye is well aware of the truth that when you talk to a girl, you must first talk to the people around her, "Since Brother Ji is a newcomer, it is better to visit friends with me and get to know more of our local heroes." ”
"Then it's going to trouble Brother Chen." Ji Shenyan agreed with a smile.
After a while, only Ji Suniang and Qiu Li were left in the greenhouse, and a few rough mothers-in-law moved stools and stood guard at the door.
Ji Suniang put down the pen in her hand and pulled Qiuli to whisper.
"Why do you suddenly have an extra cousin, how did he come over from the flood outside?" Akiri asked.
"The drunkard doesn't mean to drink." Ji Suniang obviously didn't like her cousin, and the previous harmony was probably just an illusion.
Qiu Li's mind suddenly made up an ethical farce about fighting for family property.
"My cousin teaches in the provincial capital, he is the youngest son of my cousin, originally my father had no children under his knees, the clan proposed to pass him on to my father, but my father refused, our two families originally had little contact, this time he came, I am afraid that the person who came is not good."
Ji Suniang rubbed her eyebrows, and her tone was a little discouraged.
