The free days passed quickly. Xu Qing didn't even feel anything when he was dazed in the room. Day after day passed by.
Another three days have passed, and not even a hair of the Xu family's money has been seen. It seems that the Xu family really does not intend to pay this money.
Xu Qing was sitting in the kitchen eating the porridge cooked by Su Qian. It had to be said that his wife's cooking skills were getting better and better, and the porridge was becoming more and more delicious.
As time goes by, Su Qian has learned more and more secretly.
To possess such terrifying force at such a young age is indeed a gift for learning.
Su Qian could learn so much just by helping out in the kitchen for a few days...it's really scary.
What is it like to have a woman who is highly skilled in martial arts but also smart and capable?
Now, if Xu Qing hadn't mastered the secret recipe for sweet and sour short ribs, the kitchen at home would have nothing to do with him.
After Xu Qing finished eating, Su Qian came over to take away Xu Qing's job. At this moment, Su Qian became more and more like a good wife. The image of a cold heroine when they first met has gradually changed over time.
The cleaning has faded a lot.
However, Xu Qing still hadn't seen Su Qian smile. At most, he could only detect that Su Qian was in a good mood through the changes in Su Qian's eyebrows.
Letting his wife learn to smile has become Xu Qing's top priority now.
…
Su Qian silently washed Xu Qing's bowl after eating and put it back to its original place.
After living in the kitchen for the past few days, Su Qian realized that cooking is actually not easy. Especially when cooking takes a long time, the back will easily get sore. Think about how hard Xu Qing will have to work after coming back from a busy day in the shop.
Su Qian felt even more ashamed when she was cooking.
After all, she was at home every day and had nothing else to do except practice swordplay and read the manuscript of the story Xu Qing brought back every day.
So Su Qian tried to take over something for Xu Qing, at least so that he wouldn't have to be so tired. After having this idea, Su Qian started to go to the kitchen to look at Xu Qing while helping Xu Qing cut and wash vegetables.
How do you cook on a daily basis and what do you put in for seasoning?
If she learned how to cook, Xu Qing wouldn't need to be so tired every day.
But...if Su Qian knew how comfortable Xu Qing was in the shop every day, she would probably change her mind immediately...
…
At this time, Magistrate Su also arrived in the kitchen. Su Qian had already taken over the breakfast business, and Magistrate Su also knew it.
After Magistrate Su sat down, he took a sip of the bowl of porridge brought over by Su Qian, smacked his lips and said, "Well, the taste is rich and mellow. Qian'er's cooking skills are getting better and better. This is up to me."
Xu Qing on the side couldn't help but rolled his eyes. He was very curious, how did his father-in-law tell lies without changing his face or heart?
Is this up to you?
After all, the lies I told in the government office a few days ago were as true as the truth...
When Xu Qing recalled her acting skills that day, she couldn't help but give herself a thumbs up in her heart. It would be such a pity not to be an actor in her previous life!
Alas, this talent is all wasted...
in the kitchen
County Magistrate Su drank the last spoonful of porridge in the bowl, looked at Xu Qing and asked: "Now the Xu family has overdue settlement, but they still haven't sent a tael of silver. It seems they don't plan to send it."
Xu Qing sighed and said: "If it's overdue, the price will be doubled... This deal is not a good deal. Thirty thousand taels and sixty thousand taels don't count. I don't understand how Xu Sima got the position of Sima with such stupidity.
?Could it be that he got to the position through unspoken rules?"
Magistrate Su couldn't help but feel helpless when he heard this. Xu Qing was still helping the Xu family settle accounts. They were determined to waste the money. What could the Su family do? Should they go to the state government to file a complaint?
Magistrate Su was a little confused about wanting this place. He looked at Xu Qing and asked, "What are the hidden rules?"
…
At this moment, Xuan'er ran in again in a panic and said: "Master, uncle, miss, it's not good, it's not good, there are officials from outside again! I asked my uncle to come over!"
After County Magistrate Su, Xu Qing and Su Qian came out of the Su Mansion, they saw several officials standing outside. Because of the cold weather, they couldn't help but stamp their feet and breathe, hoping to relieve the cold.
.
When the chief officer saw Xu Qing coming out, he walked over and said, "Mr. Xu, the governor, please come over..."
Yes, this is the second time this month...I don’t know if there will be a third time.
Magistrate Su asked in confusion: "What happened this time?"
The head official bowed and said, "I am replying to Mr. Su because... Mr. Xu Shen of Xu Sima Mansion had his right leg broken, and Xu Sima sued Mr. Xu for personal revenge..."
As soon as the chief official finished speaking, Su Qian and Magistrate Su looked at Xu Qing with shocked expressions. The words Xu Qing looked at Xu Sima in front of Rizhou Yamen that day couldn't help but echo in their ears:
Xu Sima had better give him thirty thousand taels of silver, otherwise, if the young master's right arm was broken this time, it might be his right leg next time.
He... turned out to be more than just talking...
But...when did he do it? Why didn't he know it at all?
Xu Qing looked at Su Qian and Magistrate Su who had shocked expressions on the side and shrugged: "Why are you looking at me like this? I didn't do it. When we get to the state government office, we can just let it go..."
Magistrate Su only had one sentence in his mind at this time: Didn't you do it? Only if you didn't do it, then there is a ghost!
However, Magistrate Su was very satisfied at this time. He dared to have thoughts about his daughter? She deserved to have three legs broken!
…
Zhouya
The governor sat in the hall, looked at Xu Qing and Xu Sima standing in the hall, and said: "Master Xu, you said that Xu Qing broke your son's right leg in revenge, do you have any evidence?"
Xu Sima said: "I have evidence."
The governor coughed, his eyes flashed, and he was looking for his own selfish side. Why was Xu Qing so careless this time?
Although he thought so, Governor Qi still said: "What evidence does Mr. Xu have?"
Xu Sima said: "That day when I left the court, at the gate of the state government, Xu Qing once said that if the official did not pay Xu Qing 30,000 taels of compensation on time, he would ask the official to take care of Shen'er's right leg. But just last night, Shen'er recovered.
Later, I went to play in the market, but my right leg was broken by someone in an alley next to Piaoxiang Courtyard, so I concluded that it must be Xu Qing's hand!"
The governor nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that it was not direct evidence, just a one-sided statement.
Then the governor looked at Xu Qing and said, "Xu Qing, what do you have to say?"
I saw Xu Qing next to me cupping my hands and saying: "Your Majesty, I am suing Xu Sima for failing to pay the compensation due to me within the time limit..."
