On that day, the sun was scorching. Zhou Dong had just returned from the yamen. Before he could enter the yard, he heard his mother whispering while cutting pig grass.
"It's a loss, it's a loss! Why are my eyes so blind?"
Zhou Dong paused and smiled bitterly. From that day on, he escorted the third lady of the Gu family back to the village, and his mother began to get jealous when she saw the car of things. She went back and forth at the Gu family every day.
But his mother wanted to be shameful. When the third wife went to Yongyijun, she was afraid that the Gu family would marry her, so she hurriedly gave the matchmaker a speech, indicating that she did not want to marry the Gu family now. Now that she was looking at the Gu family, she would not be ashamed to come to her.
When Magistrate Wang and Zhou County Wei came to visit again, his mother felt as sad as if she had lost a big treasure. Every day she saw him, she sighed. Zhou Dong was a little afraid of entering the house now, for fear that his mother would be shameless one day, and forced him to continue to talk to Sanniang about marriage.
Zhou Dong shook his head and sighed.
He hadn't said a few words to the third lady, but he could see that with the third lady's temperament, it would be impossible for her to turn back.
Now it’s not just his mother who suddenly understands the treasure, but other villagers also look at the third lady like a golden treasure.
In the minds of ordinary people in Guzhuang, Gu Xiang, who can make a lot of money by sitting at home, has a status that is definitely much higher than those men in the family who only know how to farm.
Overnight, everyone in the village envied the Gu family for raising a good girl.
Gu Laoshi and Jiang went out to work every day, and along the way, they could only deal with the villagers who asked with a smile and said to themselves.
Although it is a bit hard to do this, the couple is quite happy and they feel very happy every day.
Seeing his parents so happy, Gu Xiang felt that the instant noodles he made and the jars of pickled vegetables were very in vain.
The weather is cold every day.
Li Sheng leaned his shoulders under the old tree outside the tent, holding two sinister gazes that popped up from time to time from the tent, as if he was unconscious.
"I remember you brought back two jars of cucumber strips? Where is the other jar?"
A resentful voice came from the tent.
Li Sheng's eyes moved upwards and looked at the lonely leaves on the tree, just like some rare treasures these leaves were.
Zhao Ying: “…”
The world has changed. Now there are still people under the throne who are openly trapping Shangguandong. People's hearts are not old, but people's hearts are not old.
"Have you asked when will Chef Gu return to the military camp?"
Li Sheng said: "I don't know."
Although the third lady said she would return after a few days, she did not decide which day to return. If there was something wrong with the family, it would seem normal to delay a few more days.
As for the medicinal wine that San Niangzi mentioned, I haven’t seen it yet, so I don’t need to say much.
Zhao Ying was silent for a while: "Kaifeng Detective Notes... Did Chu Gu say new content? Have you copied it back?"
Li Sheng: "I don't know."
Zhao Ying: "...Did I offend Zun Jia accidentally?"
Li Sheng: "Haha."
Zhao Ying: “…”
He sent Li Sheng to monitor the newly emerging unstable elements in Yongyi's army last night, and then... he forgot about this.
"It's just a trivial matter, why are you so scrupulous?"
Zhao Ying muttered.
When he was supervising the river embankment, he almost made a military order. He worked hard every day and had to deal with countless affairs every day. Isn’t it normal for some negligence?
Li Sheng faintly heard Zhao Ying's muttering, and curled the corners of his mouth with a slight smile.
Who makes me the Duke of the State?
Even though he accidentally touched the new trap because he was running errands for the Duke, he accidentally got rid of it on the tree. The people below asked the Duke whether to put him down, but he had to say to the Duke - "I don't know, don't know, get out!", he couldn't complain, and he had to hang himself honestly waiting for dawn.
Next time, the Duke of the State asked him to work overtime to investigate this and that one in the evening, and see if he still listens!
Zhao Ying: "I received a letter from Xiao Di last night, saying that the court planned to send an imperial envoy to inspect, but the stubborn donkey came. I was a little annoyed. After drinking two glasses of wine, I accidentally fell asleep and fell a little confused, so I said the wrong thing."
At this point, Zhao Ying's expression gradually became a little solemn.
Xiao Di's letter did not have much important content, but the news from the capital was a little bad. The trend of Li's thief's intention to form an alliance with Liao became increasingly obvious. The borders of the court were unstable, and internal troubles were serious. Disasters were caused in various places and thieves were in chaos.
Recently, another official submitted a memorandum, talking about increasing income from river channels, house money, etc. In fact, the court did not agree, and many places have privately imposed a lot of miscellaneous taxes. If the court relaxes the gap, it will be even more difficult to control it.
Issuing miscellaneous taxes is nothing but drinking poison to quench thirst, which is completely useless.
He had already spent a long time and energy on this river. If he could not complete the work as planned, he had to hand it over to others for responsibility.
Zhao Ying's eyes fell on the river map on the table, with a dark look. For this section of the river embankment, Yunzhou... died in office. If he let this matter give up halfway, how can he have the face to meet his friends after his death?
Li Sheng was shocked to see a little sad look on his face, who had always been 'cold', and sighed in his heart and whispered: "I'll put another jar of cucumber strips in the cellar."
Zhao Ying's face suddenly returned to calm, cold and seriousness: "Summary up the information you heard last night, write me a memorandum, and I'll do it today."
Li Sheng: “…yes.”
"Go and find out in secret and see when Cut Gu will return to the camp."
"yes."
"If Chu Gu tells a new detective story, copy it quickly and send it to me."
"……yes."
Li Sheng gritted his teeth.
Zhao Ying curled her lips and said, "As someone around me, you are involved in a trap set by your own personality. Do you have the nerve to be angry?"
Li Sheng: “…”
Many people in the Yongyi Army were vaguely waiting for their return, but Gu Xiang stayed in Guzhuang safely and was not in a hurry at all.
There are indeed many delicious food items that can be earned in the military camp, but they are also tired, physically and mentally tired.
As a person, you must know how to combine work and rest. These lines are too tight and easily broken. She must also learn to be lazy.
Moreover, the boys of Yongyijun always sting her food orders and refused to contribute well. She felt that these people should eat more food from the normal Huotou camp in the military camp for a few days. Only after she returned would these people understand what cherishing means.
In fact, she has only been around for less than three days. When she asked for leave from Lao Du, she said that she would go home to visit relatives and stay for three or five days before returning. Three or five days is an imaginary number.
Gu Xiang now has surplus food spots. In addition to the 1,000 points that are still in use, he has saved more than 600 points in his hand. The survival crisis has basically been lifted. I have been idle at home for a few more days, so I can be said to be stress-free.
Moreover, my parents, grandparents and younger brother at home have given her face recently, especially my younger brother. Every time I feed him fish balls, I can see delicious food rising upwards.
Besides, the annoying thing next door is now too late to stay in the village, so he moved out of the village with his mother in shame. It is said that he is temporarily in the hut area in the western suburbs of the county.
