4-52 My sweetheart steps on colorful auspicious clouds
Su Zhi County, like all bodhisattva-hearted employers, expressed surprise and solicitation over Zeng Cheng's sudden resignation. Seeing that Zeng Cheng insisted on leaving, the county magistrate thought for a moment and asked: "Xiao Cheng, did your wife hit you again? Look back.
I said she, Ah Fu, where is the madam? Call the madam here!"
The housekeeper Ah Fu reported back: "Sir, today is sixteen. My wife has gone back to her parents' home. I'm afraid she won't be able to come back until tomorrow."
"Oh, that's it, Ah Fu, bring me a couple of silver first, I'm going to enlighten Xiao Cheng."
The housekeeper went to the counter and put a tael of silver on a lacquer tray and brought it over. Su Zhixian took the small silver ingot and said, "Ah Fu, go and do your work."
Ah Fu looked at the master, then at Zeng Cheng, then turned around and went out.
Only Su Zhixian and Zeng Cheng were left in the study. This awkward atmosphere reminded Zeng Cheng of the scene at Pan San's house a few months ago. He couldn't help but tighten his clothes and stared at the magistrate with a wary expression.
Of course, the magistrate was not an uncultured roughneck like Pan San, so he naturally disdained the overlord's tactic of forcing his bow. He weighed the small piece of silver in his hand and asked pleasantly: "Xiao Cheng, what do you think, sir?"
How am I as a person?"
"The master is a good man. Xiao Cheng thanks the master for his kindness." Zeng Cheng looked at the silver in the magistrate's hand eagerly and said insincerely.
The money was weighed back and forth in the master's fat palm but he made no intention of handing it to Zeng Cheng. The master smiled reservedly, and the fat on his face trembled.
"This girl still has some conscience. Now there are rumors in the county that you and your mother are both reincarnations of bad guys, so no one dares to have contact with you. Only the master, I will ignore these gossips and take you in to do some chores in the house.
Alas, you mother and daughter are so pitiful. Master, I see it in my eyes and it hurts in my heart." Speaking of his bodhisattva heart, Su Zhixian was quite emotional.
"Thank you, Master. The little girl is not a wealthy person, so this little hardship is nothing?" Zeng Cheng lowered his head and said, it was not that she couldn't hear what the master said, but it was not good to leave without getting the money, so she had to endure it.
Continue to stand in the corner of the study and listen to the master's lecture.
"But there is no way to continue like this. You only get one tael of silver a month as a domestic helper. How can you support your mother and daughter's life? Now you have to quit your job. How can you continue to live in the future?"
"Thank you for your concern, sir. My little girl has been poor since she was a child, so she can do a lot of work. If Hongze County can't accommodate our mother and daughter, we will go back to the lake to fish at worst."
"We're talking about fishing. Don't I know that you and your daughter are the boss at the lake? You owe the Ma family in Huaiyin a huge sum of several hundred taels and haven't repaid it. It's said that you even colluded with bandits to burn down their house. Of course the boss knows that.
You were also framed, so you suppressed the official documents of the Huaiyin County Co-Investigation, otherwise you and your daughter would have been arrested and imprisoned by Huaiyin County."
Zeng Cheng didn't expect the county magistrate to investigate their details in such detail. He was shocked and had nothing to say for a moment.
Seeing Zeng Cheng's astonished expression, the magistrate struck a chord while the iron was hot: "Master, I can protect you for a while, but I cannot protect you for a lifetime. The Ministry of Household Affairs has sent an official document saying that I will appoint you as the magistrate of Suzhou. When the time comes, I will be transferred, and there will be no one left."
I’ll take care of you, not to mention the Huaiyin Ma family, even Pan San and Hua Laowu from this county are enough for you.” As he spoke, he picked up an official document on the table and shook it in a serious manner.
Zeng Cheng gritted his teeth and remained silent. What Su Zhixian said was true. Hongze County was no longer suitable for them to live. But what if they moved out and the person came to find him but failed?
Su Zhixian didn't know what Zeng Cheng was thinking at this time. He thought that his words had an effect and continued: "Master, I have a way to kill two birds with one stone. You also know that I am nearly forty and have not yet had a son. There are three ways to be unfilial."
, It’s better to have no heirs. Master, I have always planned to marry a concubine, but it’s hard to find a suitable candidate. Now the candidate has finally been found. It’s you, Xiaocheng. You two will follow the master to Suzhou Mansion and enjoy all the glory in the future.
Isn’t it beautiful to be rich…”
"The young lady appreciates the master's kindness, but the young lady is promised to someone else, and her husband's family has already paid a betrothal gift." Zeng Cheng saw that Magistrate Su finally showed his true colors, and immediately came up with the excuse he had prepared long ago.
"Promised? Why didn't this county know?" Su Zhixian was stunned, and then suddenly realized, "Xiao Cheng is referring to the guy who injured Pan San. To be honest, this guy is already dead, eunuch.
Confusing the Chao Gang, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were wise and brave. On the wedding day, they launched a coup and eradicated tens of thousands of Dongchang rebels under Huang Jinrong and Yang Bo. The water of the Qinhuai River turned red, and no eunuchs could escape from the city.
Immediately, the remaining Dongchang remnants across the country were wiped out, and there were a lot of heads of people. As the leader of the Dongchang, your unmarried husband will naturally not escape death."
Bolt from the blue! Dead, the man in green shirt with chivalrous bones and tender heart is actually dead! The man who promised to pick her up after finishing the work is actually dead! All the girl's dreams were shattered in an instant, poor Wudinghe
Bian Gu is like a person in a spring boudoir dream... I still remember that night when the sky was full of peach blossoms. He stood on the street and shouted to himself from a distance: "I will come back to pick you up when I finish my work!" Could this be this life?
His last face, could this be the last words he left to himself?
Su Zhixian's words should not be false. He is an official of the imperial court, so he naturally knows more. Moreover, on the day when Pan San's case was heard, that person did show a Dongchang waist card...
With all his thoughts in despair, Zeng Cheng suddenly felt that his life suddenly had no meaning. Everything around him turned pale white. He could only see the mouth on the fat face of Su Zhixian opening and talking, but he could not hear the content.
For a while, there was a cruel voice saying, "He is dead, he is dead..." and for a while, the man said when he was leaving, "I will come back to pick you up when I finish my work! I will come back to pick you up when I finish my work."
!”
The girl couldn't stand, she sat slumped on the chair without saying a word, her face was pale.
"So what if you are engaged? Can't we break off the engagement? Are we going to be left alone? Xiaocheng, you don't have to be sad. The master feels uncomfortable when you are like this. After you get married, the master will take good care of you and you will soon forget about this."
As for the matter, there is no need to worry about it, madam. As long as you keep up the good work and give birth to a son and a half for me, that old hen who doesn’t know how to lay a nest will not dare to embarrass you." Su Zhixian patiently guided Zeng Cheng, speaking slowly
The whisper is very gentle.
"Who is an old hen who doesn't know how to lay a nest!" A sharp shout came from outside the door, and then the door was violently kicked open, and a strong woman who looked like a black iron tower broke in from the outside, holding a fiery red stick in her hand.
He was wearing a feather duster, with a lot of golden jewelry stuck randomly on his head, and his body was covered in colorful silk and satin, and he was followed by several equally tough women.
"Tie up this little vixen to my mother!" the woman yelled, then pointed at Su Zhixian with a feather duster and scolded: "You are a lustful old man, you dare to take a concubine behind my back, and you dare to scold me for not knowing how to do it.
You're a hen in a nest. I don't even think about it. How can I get pregnant with your soft thing?" He said, picking up the chicken feathers and hitting her head and face.
Su Zhixian was beaten so hard by his wife that he ran away with his head in his arms. His fat body was extremely agile in avoiding the attack of the feather duster, and he escaped while begging for mercy.
After beating Su Zhixian away, the woman came to Zeng Cheng again. The poor girl was still immersed in grief and was tied up by several women without any resistance.
"You little vixen, little hoof, you don't even have to urinate to show off your virtues. You want to climb a high tree and marry into a wealthy family? Bah!" The county magistrate's wife spat fiercely and ordered: "Hang up this little hoof."
, doesn’t she rely on her vixen face? I’m going to ruin her face today!”
Liu Ziguang set out from the capital that night. He was too slow by land and water. He took an urgently requested fast airship. He went too fast and did not notify the emperor. He only asked Song Yingxing to go to the palace the next day to report on his behalf. He also set off with him.
Madam Yang, this is the only person Liu Ziguang has who knows Nan Fei. If she can confirm it, then the matter will be considered a success. The airship carries a radio station so that the great news can be notified as soon as possible.
In the capital city.
The airship is the most powerful one in Mali in the Red Shirt Regiment, and the pilot is the most experienced Masaiyo. After a night of continuous flying at maximum power, the motor is already a little tired. Fortunately, Hongze County is right in front of him, and Liu Ziguang spends thousands of miles to
The mirror searched for the residence of the Zeng family in the city. The county town was very small, and the largest courtyard was the county government office in the middle of the city. Through the telescope, one could see a girl being tied to a pole in the courtyard of the county government house.
There were several women wearing red and green clothes surrounding them. Isn't that girl Zeng Cheng?
"Quick, fly to the biggest house! Quick!" Liu Ziguang ordered.
The airship's motor had reached its maximum load, and the insufficiently burned fuel spewed out streams of black smoke from the exhaust port. The colorful dragon painted on the airship looked particularly majestic against the black smoke, and everyone in the county was stunned.
He stared at the sky with his mouth wide open, wondering what this huge thing in the sky was?
Hongze County is close to the lake, so some self-righteous people thought it was the dragon emerging from the lake! An old man shouted, and then he fell to the ground in fear, and the rest of the people followed suit and knelt down, muttering: "The dragon
Bless, the dragon bless..."
The dragon flew straight towards the county government office. The county magistrate's wife and several women under her command also discovered this huge monster in the sky. They were at a loss for a while and even forgot to scratch Zeng Cheng's face with the scissors in their hands.
When the airship flew over the county government office, the motor stopped completely. Due to excessive use, even the lubricating oil and cooling water in the machine were heated and evaporated, emitting white steam and black oil smoke, which looked like the feet of a flying dragon.
of clouds.
Zeng Cheng was also awakened by the monster in the sky. She raised her eyes and looked over dimly, and saw a majestic dragon in the blue sky of autumn, shrouded in mist. It was a dragon that she had met many times in a dream.
