Chapter 802: Being a good person does not necessarily mean that you are a good official

This friendship is deep enough!

Liu Yunxiang twitched the corners of her mouth, not knowing how to answer for a while.

Mrs. Gu didn't have to ask a question. Seeing that Liu Yunxiang didn't say anything, she stopped asking and continued to eat melon seeds.

Mrs. Li was not very happy about Mrs. Gu's sudden mention of Yang He, and then she deliberately neglected her when she sat on the table. However, Mrs. Gu did not eat her and should eat and drink on her own, especially the other wives were more familiar with her.

Mrs. Li looked down on the wives of these officials, and she was somewhat despised in her words, but she was naturally enthusiastic about Liu Yunxiang, and the heat and coldness made people see more clearly.

The banquet did not last long. After using the table, everyone left one by one on the excuse of something. Liu Yunxiang was the last one to leave, which was enough to give Mrs. Li a face.

"These people are not from high origins, do not understand the rules, and have no upbringing. After all, they are not as good as the ladies born in Shengjing, especially the family of officials. Please forgive me, Mrs. Seven." Mrs. Li said unhappy.

Liu Yunxiang sneered in her heart, "What did she forgive me?" Those people didn't give her face.

Liu Yunxiang didn't answer this, nodded to Mrs. Li, and turned around to the carriage. But not far away, the carriage suddenly stopped.

"Zi Jin, what's going on?"

"That Mrs. Gu stopped our carriage."

Liu Yunxiang opened the curtain and looked over. Sure enough, she saw Mrs. Gu standing in front of the carriage and looking at her with a smile. She was a little confused, but she got off the carriage.

"Madam Gu, are you?"

"Just on the table, I saw that Mrs. Qi didn't move her chopsticks much. I thought that the delicacies of mountains and seas were not in line with your appetite, so I bought you a bowl of white porridge."

"White porridge?"

Mrs. Gu pointed to the stall where you bought porridge by the street, "The red bean porridge made by the old woman is very delicious. Do you want to try it?"

Liu Yunxiang changed her mind and smiled and said, "Okay."

The stall was placed next to the street. After the two of them sat down, the old woman served them a bowl of red bean porridge and brought them a plate of pickles. Under Mrs. Gu's expectant gaze, Liu Yunxiang took a bite. The red beans were soft and melted in her mouth. After one bite, the rice smelled full of rice, which was very soft and soaked in her stomach.

She has a bad appetite these days and has eaten little. She has seen that she has lost weight for a long time. This bowl of red bean porridge is just here to save her life.

"Well, it's delicious." Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but say.

Mrs. Gu laughed: "I had a bad appetite when I was pregnant, so I often came here to eat porridge."

Liu Yunxiang paused and looked up at Mrs. Gu, "I just had a bad appetite."

"As soon as there was a meaty dish on the table, you covered your mouth and nose with a veil. The food was not right and the taste was not right, and you became a little dry. I will know what happened at a glance."

Since it was seen, Liu Yunxiang no longer denied it and continued to eat this bowl of porridge.

After eating more than half a bowl, people became energetic when they had something in their stomachs. Liu Yunxiang looked up at Mrs. Gu. She was dressed very simply, not silk and satin, but she had a sense of arrogance in her bones and was beautiful. This kind of beauty is not dull, but agile, and even more wise.

"Mrs. Gu is waiting here specifically, not just to treat me to a bowl of red bean porridge, right?"

Mrs. Gu smiled, "It's true that there is something to ask for."

"What happened to Yang He and Lord Yang?"

"yes."

"You want to know how he is?"

"yes."

Liu Yunxiang lowered her eyes and wiped the corner of her mouth with a veil, "Mr. Yang was locked in a prison. How could Mrs. Gu think that a woman, I, would know about him?"

Mrs. Gu tilted her head and smiled, "Mrs. Li is so respectful to you, you seventh lady, must not be simple."

Liu Yunxiang let out a breath, it seemed that she had not guessed her identity yet.

"Mr. Yang ate well in prison and slept well. He sang small songs and wrote poems and wrote opposites. No one has ever been so casual in prison." Speaking of this, Liu Yunxiang looked at Mrs. Gu, and seeing that she was obviously relieved, he said again: "Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Yang are indeed very close to each other."

When Mrs. Gu heard this, she didn't shy away from anything and said, "I've liked him."

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Gu spoke so straightly, Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but be surprised.

"Actually, it's nothing. He looks pretty and loves to provoke women. It's very common for me to like him. But when he rejects me, I don't like it. He said that if I can marry my current husband, he will protect the media."

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "The two of them are both kind and open-minded and cheerful."

Mrs. Gu was silent for a moment, and when she looked at Liu Yunxiang again, her face became much more calm, "He is a good official."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "I have come to Yanzhou, and I have heard many people comment on him like this. But I don't understand how such a good official praised by the people would be corrupt, and he would be greedy for one million taels of silver."

"One million?" Mrs. Gu shouted, "He eats simple food and wears old clothes and patches. Why do he do with so much money? Give himself a golden body?"

"What does Mrs. Gu mean?"

Mrs. Gu sighed, "He, he deserves it!"

This is really confusing, but Liu Yunxiang wanted to ask again, Mrs. Gu had already changed the subject.

"You have no appetite in the future, so you come here to eat a bowl of porridge. The red bean porridge is sweet and glutinous, and the mung bean porridge is clear. By the way, the wontons sold in the small shop in front are also good, and the clear mouth is very clear."

With this in mind, Mrs. Gu stood up.

"My husband is a cripple and it is inconvenient to do a lot of things. I have to go home early."

Liu Yunxiang stood up and nodded to Mrs. Gu, "We have the chance to talk about it another day."

"good."

Watching Mrs. Gu leave, Liu Yunxiang waved to Zijin to come and sit down, and ordered her a bowl of red bean porridge.

Zi Jin took a bite, nodded repeatedly in the delicious food, and then started ate.

The old woman came to clean up the dishes. When Liu Yunxiang saw that she was having some difficulty when she bent down, she picked up the dishes and handed them to her.

"Girl, thank you." The old woman thanked repeatedly.

Liu Yunxiang shook her head, "You are so old, why are you still selling porridge here?"

"My son died in a war, so I have to help my daughter-in-law raise the three children. Fortunately, the boss can already work, and when he gets married, I will stop doing it."

The old woman said while cleaning up, maybe she had been bored for a day, but after finally someone heard her, she said a lot of things at home and outside. Liu Yunxiang listened seriously and thought of something, so she asked the old woman if she knew Yang He, the former mansion, and what kind of person he was in her heart.

"That child, good man." The old woman sighed.

"Then is he a good official?"

"What is a good official? I only know that he is a good person." The old woman said, shaking her head, "A good person is not necessarily a good official, and a good official is not necessarily a good person. Sometimes you have to choose the same choice. If this child chooses to be a person first and then an official, is he wrong? Maybe he is wrong, or he will be captured by the superiors. But we people are grateful to him. Without him, there would be no Yanzhou today, and there would be no good days where we have no food and clothing."
