Liu Zhihua looked at Guabao with a proud look on her face. The daughter she gave birth to was not only cute but also so smart. She must have accumulated a lot of blessings in her previous life.

Erya felt that her sister was really smart, so she clapped her hands and said with a smile: "My Jiaojiao is really smart, she knows so much, she will definitely be a talented girl in the future."

"Sister is so amazing!" Xiao Li also shouted.

Jiaojiao smiled and shook her head, explaining: "I found this out from Brother Song Dong's mouth. He has known medicinal materials since he was a child and knows a lot about medicinal materials. He knows more than me."

Erya still felt that her sister was powerful and quickly retorted: "That's why Jiaojiao is smart and can memorize so much knowledge. If someone else told her so much, she would definitely not be able to remember it."

Liu Zhihua nodded and smiled after hearing this, and agreed: "What Erya said makes sense, we are still smart with our petite minds."

It didn’t take a while, but the sacks and baskets I brought, including the basket carried by Xiao Li, were all piled up.

Liu Zhihua was originally going to send them back by herself, but she was worried about the children being alone here, so she asked Xiao Li to carry them back and dump them in the yard, and then brought the empty bags up to pick others.

……

Meanwhile, in town.

Zhao family.

The officials who had been surrounding him in the past two days had all evacuated, and Liu Quan was waiting at the door with his escort.

After a while, a simple carriage slowly stopped. Zhao Shen opened the curtain and walked down with a tired look on his face.

I have been traveling non-stop in the past few days and sent the second young lady to the capital. I just came back yesterday. Before I had a good rest, I received the news that the governor of Yantie was coming to investigate. He hurried back before dawn.<

/p>

Liu Quan hurriedly stepped forward and raised his hand, "Master, please slow down."

Zhao Shen raised his hand and put it on his arm, rubbing his eyebrows and asked: "Liu Quan, what's going on?"

"Sir, he is Li Huai's grandson. I don't know where he found out that Miss Murong was going to enter the palace. He was afraid that you would deal with him, so he sent his catcher to Ancheng to ask Mr. Sun, the governor of Yantie, in order to borrow Mr. Sun's hand.

Suppress the Zhao family."

Later on, Liu Quan's words were somewhat disdainful.

He is just a sixth-grade governor, no matter how fair and selfless he is, don't look at the backstage of the county magistrate's office now. The second young lady wants to be the empress when she enters the palace, and the uncle has the second young lady's trust, so these small officials dare to come

The Zhao family is unbridled.

Zhao Shen walked up the steps and asked casually: "Where is Mr. Sun now?"

Liu Quan quickly replied: "It is said that I stayed at the inn last night and went to the Yamen early this morning."

Zhao Shen paused, then frowned.

Mr. Sun was a man who was in charge of important matters such as salt and iron. The county magistrate was very distressed when dealing with him.

Since he can handle this matter, it will be somewhat difficult to handle.

Liu Quan saw the old man stop and look sad. He didn't understand why the old man was worried. Isn't he just a small sixth-grade official?

Zhao Shen raised his hand and pinched the center of his eyebrows, and asked lightly: "Where is the second master?"

Liu Quan hesitated to speak and said truthfully: "Second Master is at my aunt's place in the backyard."

Zhao Shen rolled up his sleeves and snorted, "A dog can't change its habit of eating shit."

Zhao Shen walked straight to the backyard.

Liu Quan hurriedly followed him, feeling that the second master was acting too carelessly.

The uncle has been running around several times for the second master's affairs, and even specially asked someone to ask the retired imperial doctor from the palace to help treat the second master. The second master has just recovered a little, and even though he knew that the uncle had come back, he did not greet him. At this time, he was still with his wife and concubines.

He is fooling around in the room, he is simply a brainless person.

As soon as Zhao Shen entered the backyard, he heard the sounds of men and women flirting, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

"Master, please stop making trouble."

"Don't hide away, beauties, come and have a fragrance with me..."

Liu Quan hurriedly coughed and shouted loudly: "Second Master, the uncle is back."

The sounds in the room suddenly stopped, followed by the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

After a while, Zhao Er ran out with messy clothes. He looked embarrassed when he saw his eldest brother. In the past, his eldest brother would go to the study when he came back. Why did he come to the backyard today?

Embarrassed as it was, Zhao Er smiled flatteringly and asked, "Brother, how come you have time to come back today?"

Liu Quan was stunned. Didn't he tell the second master last night that he would be back today?

Zhao Shen's face darkened, and he raised his hand and slapped him.

Snap!

Zhao Er was stunned. He covered his face and raised his head angrily to question, but looking at his elder brother's gloomy eyes, he opened his mouth and then held it back.

"Come to my study, or I'll break your legs."

Zhao Shen dropped these words and turned around to leave.

Liu Quan quickly winked at the second master, and then hurriedly chased him away.

Zhao Er looked at his eldest brother's retreating figure, rubbed his painful cheek, and cursed in a low voice: "What a bull, you are definitely angry at the county magistrate. When you come back and take it out on me to look for authority, you will be angry."

The nest is full of chaos."

Although he was reluctant in his heart, he was afraid that his elder brother would really take action, so he walked towards the study room casually.

In the study,

After Zhao Shen sat down, Liu Quan handed over a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Sir, your favorite Biluochun."

"Go ahead and go, you don't have to guard me here." Zhao Shen took the teacup and waved it.

Liu Quan glanced at the scroll on the table and said with a smile: "Then I won't disturb you. I won't go far. Call me if you need anything."

Zhao Shen took a sip of tea and said lightly "Hmm".

Liu Quan glanced at the desk again before exiting with a smile.

When Zhao Shen put down his tea cup, he noticed a picture scroll on the table. He hadn't been home for a long time, so it didn't belong to him.

Out of curiosity, he put down the teacup, picked it up, opened it and took a look.

What comes into view is a portrait.

Zhao Shen was so fascinated by the sight that his Adam's apple rolled, and then he hurriedly rolled up the portrait and put it away.

But I don’t want to look at the person in the painting today and my heart will beat abnormally with longing.

Zhao Shen took a sip of tea to calm down the heat in his body.

At this time, Zhao Er walked in.

"Brother, what do you want from me?"

Looking at his younger brother, Zhao Shen's face suddenly turned cold. He didn't want to talk to him anymore and said softly: "Master Sun, who took over your official salt matter, is not easy to fool. The county magistrate has nothing to do with this person. Go deal with him now."

Wash yourself and go to the Yamen to surrender yourself."

If you surrender yourself, at most you will be detained after review by the county magistrate, and at worst, you will be imprisoned for several years.

If the officials in charge were to find out that more than 10,000 taels of silver were involved in the case, but they had to go to Dali Temple to torture and make them confess to illegal salt trading, and were also severely punished as co-conspirators, then it would be really impossible to survive.

I can't die.

Zhao Er's face paled immediately after hearing this, and he asked hurriedly: "Brother, didn't you help me handle this matter? Why did Master Sun show up again?"
