Su Hang quickly wiped away the sticky sweat on his body and the stickiness on other parts with the water in the wooden bucket.

Yan Shu was lying on the couch motionless from exhaustion. It looked like he had exhausted a lot of energy. After a while, Yan Shu turned his eyes to Su Hang. Seeing that Su Hang was pretending to be himself again, Yan Shu said angrily: "Go.

When you meet the Queen Mother, why are you dressed up so well?"

While Su Hang was getting dressed, he took the time to look at Yan Shu, "What's wrong? Are you jealous again?"

Yan Shu is really a jealous person, Su Hang couldn't help but think.

Yan Shu snorted and turned around. She didn't wear any clothes to cover her face, but was exposed in front of Su Hang with her hair in a mess.

Su Hang felt a burst of heat and felt that he was going to have a nosebleed again. In order to prevent himself from holding up the gun again, Su Hang quickly turned around and put on his clothes.

After putting on all the clothes, Su Hang combed his hair again. After getting dressed, when passing by Yan Shu, Su Hang pinched her two peaks.

"Let's go quickly, I'm so annoying." Yan Shu smiled and pushed him.

"We will fight again when I come back, you wait for me!" Su Hang opened the door after saying that.

The young eunuch was standing at the door waiting with a smile. When he saw Su Hang coming out, he stepped forward and saluted: "Master Su and the young one please come."

"Thank you, father-in-law, please lead the way." Su Hang followed the little father-in-law.

The little eunuch led Su Hang across the White Bridge and through the Changting Pavilion. While walking on the road, Su Hang kept fiddling with his hair, trying to impress the Queen Mother.

"The Queen Mother is waiting for you there, Master Su, please go quickly." The little eunuch pointed to the depths of a bamboo forest and smiled at Su Hang.

"Thank you, father-in-law, for leading the way!" Su Hang adjusted his clothes again, and then walked in all directions into the bamboo forest.

As soon as you walk into the bamboo forest, waves of cool and pleasant summer wind blow in your face, and a quiet small pond comes into view. The blue waves are rippling, the sky is clear, and the air is clear, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

If you listen carefully, you can still hear the melodious sound of the piano. Suhang didn't know where the Queen Mother was at this time, so he followed the sound of the piano and took steps.

There was a cobblestone path under his feet, with rustling green bamboo forests on both sides. When Su Hang reached the end of the path, a small thatched pavilion called Huxin Pavilion came into his eyes.

This melodious sound of the piano came from the Huxin Pavilion. Su Hang walked towards the Huxin Pavilion. When he got closer, he saw an elegant woman with a bare back playing the strings with her bare hands.

This woman was wearing very simple and elegant clothes, and there were not too many accessories on her bun. She simply had a golden walking stick inserted into her bun. The golden walking stick swayed gently with the woman's movements, which was very graceful.

Su Hang didn't know who this woman was, why she was playing the piano here, and where was the Queen Mother?

The woman seemed to have eyes on her back. When Su Hang stood behind her, the Yao Qin in the woman's hand stopped making any sound.

"Sorry, I would like to ask this lady, do you know where the Queen Mother is?" Seeing that she no longer played the piano, Su Hang immediately stepped forward and asked.

The woman smiled softly, her voice was clear and clear, and Su Hang felt that the sound was somewhat familiar. Before he had time to think about it, the woman put away the piano completely and turned her face.

Su Hang was stunned when he saw it. He quickly took a few steps back, his eyes flickered, and he said respectfully: "I will join the Queen Mother!"

"Excuse me, Mr. Su, please take a seat." The Queen Mother was very easy-going, different from her fierce temperament when she dealt with the right minister Wang that day. At this time, she had light makeup, graceful temperament, and her voice was light and airy.

Su Hang glanced at her, then lowered his head and did not dare to look at her again. The Queen Mother saw that Su Hang was very reserved and said: "Master Su, this time we are not in the court. You and I are meeting in private. Please relax a little."

Are you thirsty?"

"Ah... Queen Mother, I'm not very hungry!" Su Hang immediately raised his head and said indifferently.

The Queen Mother was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Su Hang. Then she couldn't help but curl her eyes. Maybe it was because the Queen Mother was born into a noble family, so she was very ladylike. When she wanted to smile, she quickly covered the corners of her lower lips with a handkerchief.

.

Su Hang immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, scratched his forehead and smiled.

The Queen Mother lit the fire and cooked tea for Su Hang herself. Su Hang was flattered and said: "How dare you live with the Queen Mother? Let the lower officials do it."

"Don't touch it." The Queen Mother quickly stopped her, but it was too late, because Su Hang had already touched the warm body of the pot, which immediately made Su Hang grin.

The Queen Mother hurriedly wet the handkerchief and wrapped Su Hang's hands, "Mr. Su, why are you so careless? Didn't I just tell you not to touch it?"

Su Hang:……

"I'm sorry, Queen Mother, I just don't want your noble body to do this."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Thank you, Master Su."

After the tea was brewed, the Queen Mother divided the tea between Su and Hangzhou. The Queen Mother's fingers were delicate and white, like peeling onion roots. Her movements were clear and graceful, which was very pleasing to the eye. At first glance, she showed the magnanimity that can only be cultivated among nobles.

Su Hang was stunned and saw that the Queen Mother was so beautiful and young. I heard she was only twenty-nine years old. How could she be willing to marry the fat and old Majesty!

What a flower stuck in cow dung! Suhang thought to himself.

Thinking of this, Su Hang immediately had the answer in his mind. The Queen Mother was born in the Xie family in Guangyang, and the Xie family in Guangyang was a famous royal relative of the Southern Kingdom! Moreover, the Queen Mother was also named a princess by the Southern Kingdom.

Just like Jing Zhao's fate, the Queen Mother's fate is also beyond her control. She must be more than a hundred dissatisfied when marrying His Majesty!

"Master Su, what are you thinking about? Come and try my craftsmanship." The Queen Mother placed the tea in front of Su Hang.

Su Hang suddenly came back to his senses, smiled at the Queen Mother, held the jade cup and took a sip, "The Queen Mother's craftsmanship is really good, and it tastes very delicious. Thank you, Queen Mother, for your hospitality."

"As long as Mr. Su likes it."

"By the way, Queen Mother, I heard that you want to discuss with your subordinates how to reward merits? Right?"

The Queen Mother also put away her smile and became serious, "Exactly, but this is not the real purpose of inviting Mr. Su here."

"Ah! Then Queen Mother, what is the real purpose of calling the subordinate here?"

"I want to get to know Mr. Su, because the Ai family has heard of you a long time ago and is very interested in you."

Su Hang:……

"Thank you very much for your love, the Queen Mother. I will be just a commoner when I'm a low-ranking official." Su Hang felt that something was wrong with the Queen Mother. She came to meet him alone in private and said such ambiguous words! Su Hang even blushed.

"But Mr. Su, how do you think we should reward people based on their merits?" the Queen Mother said abruptly.

Su Hang knew that what he said next was very important and might involve his attitude towards political affairs.

"When I returned to the Queen Mother, my subordinates thought that the so-called reward based on merit was to select the greatest meritorious officials to reward first, and then reward them in turn, giving them money, official positions or honors! You must express it, after all, people's hearts are full of flesh and blood.

They all feel that after receiving the reward, they will work harder to serve the Qing Dynasty."

"So who do you think has the greatest credit this time?"

Suhang said without thinking: "Wuji is the biggest. The reason Wuji is willing to help Qing Dynasty is because he wants to do business with Qing Dynasty. Then we Qing Dynasty can do what they want and do more business with the Xiongnu."

"What the Huns want is food and grass, but our people barely have enough food and clothing. If we trade it to the Huns, it will not be enough for us to eat. Therefore, our country's agriculture must pay attention. Today, the productivity of the soil is low.

, then we need to select more agricultural talents." Su Hang continued.

The Queen Mother nodded, feeling that Su Hang's words made sense. Su Hang looked into the Queen Mother's eyes. The Queen Mother's eyes were very beautiful. When someone spoke, the Queen Mother looked attentive and listened. It can be said that this gave Su Hang a lot of encouragement.

"We need to select talents who can do practical things. The previous imperial court was controlled by Wang Youxiang and Cao Zuoxiang. Almost all the officials selected had a close relationship with Wang Youxiang and Cao Zuo. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty

It has become a bargaining chip in the political fight between Wang and Cao. How can anyone still have time to think about doing practical things for the people?" After Su Hang finished speaking, he paused, looked at the Queen Mother with regret, and then continued to the Queen Mother:

"I'm sorry, Queen Mother, I said too much at once. Anyway, what I mean is that we have to keep the people well fed, because water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Having a full meal is the simplest idea for the common people. Secondly,

The hero is my daughter-in-law Yan Shu, and since Yan Shu is still the hero, I hope the Queen Mother can tell the world to build an ancestral hall for her family, so that the world will know how much injustice their family has suffered."

"Master Su, please continue, I am listening." The Queen Mother always smiled, showing that she was listening carefully.

"The third hero, Zhou Xuecheng, hopes that the Queen Mother can give him a reward. The fourth group of beggars who followed me were displaced and became beggars when they were in Cangzhou. This time, when they heard that the Qing Dynasty was in trouble, the beggars followed me to rescue them one after another.

Driving, and the two generals from Cangzhou also

He left his post without permission and went to live a debauched life with Prince Baling. I suggested that the Queen Mother abolish them and select an outstanding talent to go there, and then give the beggars a home and a piece of land. This can't be spent.

How much does the imperial court pay, and what does the Queen Mother think?"

"The two generals in Cangzhou? Haha, they are really brave. I will order someone to quickly draft a letter and hand it to King Huyan of the Xiongnu. What you said is very useful and I will consider it carefully.

"The Queen Mother lowered her eyebrows and was already thinking of a plan in her mind. The two generals in Cangzhou were originally the emperor's confidants, so of course the Queen Mother would get rid of them, but she couldn't find a good reason for it at the moment.

Now I heard Su Hang say that these two idiots actually had contact with Prince Baling. Haha, it was really their own fault! How could the Queen Mother let go of this opportunity? She immediately asked someone to write a letter together with Prince Baling and Prince Baling.

All the correspondence between Wang Youxiang was sent to King Huyan!

It wasn't until the sun set that Su Hang left the Queen Mother's place. When he returned to the place where he lived, Yan Shu hadn't eaten yet. She was looking out the window in a daze with her hands on her chin!

As soon as she saw Su Hang coming back, she immediately raised her eyebrows and said, "He's back, let's eat quickly."

Su Hang quickly sat down, picked up his chopsticks and started to eat a lot. Yan Shu helplessly wiped Su Hang's mouth, "Why are you eating in such a hurry!"

"I'm in a hurry to go to bed." Su Hang quickly picked up the rice and said while chewing it.

When Yan Shu heard this, his pretty face turned red and he glared at Su Hang.
