"Is it destined that I can't play with this pretty boy?"
Chu Nanzhi silently looked in the direction of the book pavilion and asked herself in her heart.
She remembered Zhu Yue's death, and while she was still searching for clues, Lin Jinxiao had already noticed that there was something wrong with Chief Secretary Tan Miao;
In Broken Dragon Mountain, he had guessed about the possible attack by a ferocious beast based on the nightmare signs he had experienced for many days, but the pretty boy was aware of the assassin ambushing in the forest. He was unpredictable at every turn. This was simply outrageous.
Furthermore, he has lived in Anlin Village since he was a child, but he knows the Lin clan very well and understands everything. This shrewdness and wisdom makes him feel a little ashamed when he thinks about it.
"What will I do if I lose this bet?"
Chu Nanzhi complained secretly in her heart.
Is it possible that we really want to make do with him for the rest of our lives?
"If it's just a night of romance, this pretty face will indeed make people jealous."
But I am a rational person and cannot do such a thing.
"I'm still thinking about the big forest in Jinling City."
Chu Nanzhi felt a little unwilling. If she lived like this in a daze with the pretty boy, she always felt that something was missing.
Opening a restaurant and raising fish is just to accumulate wealth. In the days since she came here, she has never forgotten the faith that has not yet been extinguished in her heart:
One day I can return to my old career and become a proud female official who judges injustice and investigates cases.
If it really doesn't work, it would be better to become a small detective.
"In this evil society where men are superior to women, and the abominable inspection system, I really don't want to be like those old ladies from the Lin family who have their feet bound and stay at home all day long playing scheming tricks. The three obediences and four virtues are damned."
"In terms of talent, learning and knowledge, even if I am not as good as the pretty boy, compared to Hu Maoxi, Kang Mingyuan and his ilk should have made many mistakes. Why is it that no one recommends me? Being a temporary worker like this is not an option."
The more Chu Nanzhi thought about it, the more distressed she became.
After all, being a litigator was not her ideal. Although the county government officials and even Hu Maoxi were willing to be bossed by her, they always felt uncomfortable every time they handled a case.
After all, if the name is not right, the words will not be right, and if the words are not right, things will not be accomplished. It is too easy to encounter obstacles.
"It seems that we need to start the restaurant as soon as possible. After the restaurant is in normal operation, we can inquire about the requirements for women to become officials."
"If she could become a female officer, even if Liu Yun knew about Heli, she would no longer have any complaints."
After finalizing her decision, Chu Nanzhi finally felt more at ease and gently closed her eyes, gradually falling asleep.
Drowsily, she felt like she was hanging in mid-air. She opened her eyes suddenly and found that half of her body was hanging to the edge of the bed, almost falling under the bed. She was so frightened that she broke out in sweat and rolled back inside.
.
"Ahem, the bed is too big, and I'm really not used to it missing a few things. It's actually not as peaceful as the small bed in the small wooden house in Anlin Village."
Chu Nanzhi looked around secretly and found that there was no movement, so she continued to sleep peacefully.
When I woke up, it was already bright.
Chu Nanzhi stood up lazily, feeling refreshed all over his body.
I opened the gauze curtain comfortably and found that the bookcase had been tidied up, all the furnishings had been returned to their original positions, and there was no figure of Lin Jinxiao in the room.
"It seems that this pretty boy's legs and feet are getting better soon. Now he wakes up even earlier than my mother."
Chu Nanzhi stood up quickly, straightened out her wrinkled clothes and messy hair, and walked out slowly.
As soon as he arrived at the main hall, he saw Lin Jinxiao leading the county government's horse driver and carrying some things from outside the courtyard.
Seeing Chu Nanzhi's figure, Lin Jinxiao handed a package to her hand first and gestured:
"I just bought the ponytail toothbrush, face towel, and breakfast. You and your father-in-law and mother-in-law have breakfast to see what else is missing at home, and buy some more for yourself."
After saying that, he ordered the groom to put the breakfast in his hand on the dining table.
Seeing him turning around to leave, Chu Nanzhi asked hurriedly: "Don't you need to have breakfast before going to the county office?"
"No."
Lin Jinxiao leaned on crutches and replied calmly: "Last night, the Haining County police report was delivered to the county overnight. I have to rush over to deal with it."
"Haining County?"
Chu Nan Zhizhi frowned: "Could it be that the Dongsang people invaded the territory?"
"Um."
Lin Jinxiao nodded: "I asked Li Sanmu to wait outside with two servants. If you need anything, just give them instructions."
Afterwards, he and the groom hurried out.
Watching him go away, Chu Nanzhi felt a hint of worry in her heart.
His legs are not yet fully polished, and he has just taken office, so I really don't want him to work so hard all day long.
I hope it's just some rogue bandits causing trouble and it won't be so bad that the two countries go to war.
After taking out the facekerchief and toothbrush from the package, he went to the kitchen to fetch some water and when he came back, he saw Liu Yun leading the quadruplets out of the inner courtyard.
"Just in time, Lin Dalang bought breakfast. Mother and the babies should finish washing and have dinner."
"Did Dalang go out so early?"
Liu Yun said a little surprised.
"Well, I have some official business to take care of."
Chu Nanzhi started to get toothbrushes and apply tooth powder on the babies.
Liu Yun nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask any more questions.
After looking around but not seeing Chu Wenbi, I suddenly got angry and said, "I'm going to wake up your father. This damn old man came to my son-in-law's house and he started to sleep in."
"I'm afraid my father drank a lot last night. Let him sleep a little longer."
Chu Nanzhi grabbed Liu Yun and took the quadruplets to the courtyard to wash their faces and brush their teeth.
After washing up, he returned to the main hall. Chu Wenbi came out belatedly. Seeing the fragrant steamed dumplings, fried dumplings, boiled eggs and hot bean juice on the table, he couldn't help but swallowed:
"I'm really hungry."
"Father, sit down and eat first."
Chu Nanzhi ordered: "Wash after eating. My mother and I will go buy some things and come back later. My father will stay at home to help me take care of my four little treasures."
There are still a lot of things left at Liu Yun's house. I have to buy the carriage back early to pick it up, and then I have to go back to Anlin Village.
Dabaolin Ruiwen took the hot steamed dumplings and began to think about the tiger cub in her heart. She couldn't help but ask: "Aniang, our writing brushes and tiger cubs are still at grandma's house. When will we get them back?"
ah?"
"Let's go in the afternoon. In the afternoon, mother will send grandpa back and bring your things back with the tiger baby."
After Chu Nanzhi finished speaking, he continued to share food with everyone.
The family was eating with gusto, when suddenly there was a noise outside the yard.
Several people looked at each other, Chu Nanzhi quickly stood up and said, "You guys eat first, I'll go out and take a look."
After saying this, he hurried out of the yard and saw Li Sanmu leading a famous servant standing in front of Lin Tingzhen's house, arguing with a group of servants of the Lin family.
Chu Nanzhi strode over and asked Li Sanmu, "What happened?"
Li Sanmu pointed to the patriarch's house and said loudly: "Ms. Chu, there was a murder at the head of the Lin family. These dogs won't let us go in to investigate."
"Homicide?"
Chu Nanzhi was stunned when he heard this: "Who died?"
