Chapter Forty-six Heart Cool for Autumn, Frozen and Cracked into Winter
Are you serious about taking half a step back?
Ye Qing: Seriously.
The image of the Song family girl with an interesting soul weighing about 300 pounds appeared in his mind. The hair on Ye Qing's body stood on end, as if he had encountered an evil spirit.
The corner of his mouth twitched, and he said with fear on his face: "I'm not married yet, and I don't have a sweetheart. Thanks to the magistrate for your kindness, I haven't established a career yet, and I don't want to start a family for the time being."
The second half of the sentence was automatically ignored by Chen Yuming, and the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.
"So, so good, so good!"
Ye Qing breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Chen Yuming had given up on that terrifying idea.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yuming stroked his beard and said: "If there is a woman in my official family who is waiting for a boudoir, I will introduce you to her. If you are in love, I will be your matchmaker."
Click!
My heart feels cool all through autumn, but it freezes into the cold winter.
Ye Qing, who was completely numb, stood there not knowing how to reply.
At this time.
Wang Liu, who had escorted Qu Ying and the maid into the execution room, stepped into the duty room like a savior.
"Your Majesty, the magistrate, the prisoner has been put into the execution room and his confession is being recorded."
Getting down to business allowed Chen Yuming to regain his former dignity.
He nodded solemnly and said: "It was done well. The case was completed in one day. If nothing happens tomorrow, you can come on duty."
If nothing happens tomorrow?
This sentence made Wang Liu's eyes light up, and he knew that he had won Chen Yuming's favor.
Only then did Chen Yuming say these polite words.
"Yes, Lord Magistrate, I will take up my post tomorrow so that I can serve the Lord Magistrate."
It was the time to show off, why would Wang Liu be so shameless as to take a break and immediately show off his full energy?
Chen Yuming nodded slightly, feeling very satisfied. He waved his hand slightly to ask Wang Liu to step back.
Ye Qing hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, since the case has been solved, I have resigned. In addition, I would like to ask your permission, Your Majesty the Prefect, to allow the royal officials to take me to get acquainted with the government office."
"Well, go ahead!" Chen Yuming agreed.
Ye Qingma raised her feet and said as she walked: "Thank you, Lord Magistrate!"
Wang Liu wanted to say a few more words, but just as he was about to clasp his fists, a ruthless iron hand directly grabbed his arm.
Wang Liu staggered suddenly and was dragged out of the check-in room with a confused look on his face.
It's approaching noon.
The warm spring sunshine shone directly down and fell on the two people in the backyard of the government office.
Wang Liu looked at Ye Qing who had his clothes in a mess, and said curiously:
"Qing Xiaolang, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Qing was eager to escape from the magistrate who had a "human face and an animal heart". At this moment, he was standing in the sun, feeling the gentle wind, and then he felt relaxed, let go of Wang Liu, and said casually:
"It's nothing, I'm just hungry. Let's find a place to eat something."
Gululu!
I casually padded my stomach in the morning, and after running around all morning, Wang Liu's belly let out a cry of approval.
He agreed decisively and said with a generous smile: "Qing Xiaolang, let's go, I'll treat you this time."
"If it hadn't been for you, we wouldn't have been able to get the six cabbages that Mr. Li sent us, let alone receive the appreciation from the prefect."
Ye Qing, who was also smiling, touched the wooden box in his arms and shared a tacit smile with Wang Liu.
He rushed to treat me and said, "Don't worry, thanks to Brother Wang for taking care of me these past two days, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get this simple and easy-to-solve case."
"When I enter the torture chamber from now on, I will have to ask you to take care of me more, but now I have to ask you to do it."
"Hey, you entered the torture chamber? Hahahaha, okay, okay, from now on we brothers will work together and become rich together."
Wang Liuman's eyes shone brightly, and he couldn't help but smile from ear to ear when he thought about following Ye Qing, a strong man with three wealthy men to help him.
Thinking of the different life that would begin next, Ye Qing smiled gently and his eyes shone with longing.
"Yes, just now in the duty room, the prefect allowed me to enter the execution room."
Wang Liu, who was grinning, patted Ye Qing's back and urged: "Let's go, I will be more happy than ever. I have to have a good drink at noon today."
"Go, go, go!"
The two of them walked shoulder to shoulder towards the outside of the government office.
Not far from the government office, there is a simple herbal tea stall.
Wearing washed-to-starch white linen clothes, with dark skin, and looking like farmers, they saw the two people coming out.
He picked up the tea bowl in front of him and drank the herbal tea with floating tea powder in one gulp.
After the two of them walked a certain distance, they stood up and followed silently.
On the main street of Zhengdefang, inside Sun Ji Noodle House, which has a small store.
As soon as Ye Qing and Wang Liu sat down, Wang Liu, who was familiar with this place, started shouting at the counter.
"Shopkeeper, as per usual, two more bottles of wine."
The female shopkeeper Sun Erniang, about thirty years old, wearing a simple plum-red cotton coat, with an average appearance, an average figure, and shrewd eyes, walked over to say hello with a warm smile.
"King...Hey, congratulations, I will call you Wang Li from now on."
"My wife has invited me to this meal, so we should treat it as a celebration for the royal officials."
Sun Erniang looked at Wang Liu's official black clothes and her smile became even warmer.
Having known each other for a long time, Wang Liu was not polite and readily agreed.
"Hahaha, OK, I will take advantage of you, Shopkeeper Sun, for once."
The emphasis on the word 'cheap' made Sun Erniang roll her eyes, with a hint of coquettishness, which made the smile on Wang Liu's face become even more proud.
Then she focused her attention on the handsome young man who had been glancing at him for a long time with her peripheral vision. Her eyes were shining, and her voice was even more charming, and she asked the king.
"This young man is really handsome. Prince, why didn't you bring a friend like this to me earlier? Besides taking care of my business, it would be nice to come and sit in my shop and have a chat."
.”
Wang Liuchao winked at Ye Qing and reminded Sun Erniang:
"This is Ye Qing. He just came to Fuya. Your noodle shop tastes very good. He and I will come here often in the future. You have to control yourself. Little Bie Qing didn't eat the noodles, but you ate them instead.
Already."
Immediately, the sparkle in Sun Erniang's eyes and the charming words in her mouth disappeared. With respect in her eyes, she solemnly approached Ye Qing to make a fortune:
"Sun Erniang, a civilian woman, has met Ye Li. From now on, I will thank you for taking good care of my shop."
Ye Qing smiled gently, cupped his hands towards Sun Erniang and said:
"I can't say taking care of you. Brother Wang can bring me to Mrs. Sun's place because it smells so good. I will have to bother you in the future."
He bows his hands in salute, is humble and courteous, has a handsome appearance, and has an extraordinary bearing.
Many diners in the store heard the conversation between the three of them, and they all secretly looked at Ye Qing with curiosity and awe.
Sun Erniang's expression became more and more respectful. When she straightened up, she saw a figure opposite the store from the corner of her eye. She said calmly:
"Ye Li has really offended me. You guys sit down first while I get wine for you two."
Half an hour later.
Sun Erniang, who had been lingering at the counter for a while, then came over with a wooden tray with two bottles of wine on it.
when!
The wooden plate was placed on the thick wooden table and made some noise, interrupting the two's whispers.
Sun Erniang pushed the wooden plate in front of Ye Qing.
He smiled and pointed at the wooden plate and said: "Li Ye, this is your first time here. My shop is most famous for its sweet-scented osmanthus stuffed rice. How do you like it?"
Hearing the sound of Ye Qing taking the wine, his slender hand paused in the air, and the pupils in his starry eyes shrank sharply.
His expression remained unchanged, he still calmly held the jug, moved his wrist, and scratched the bottom of the jug on the wooden plate, erasing the handwriting written with the wine.
He smiled gently and thanked Sun Erniang:
"Thank you, Sun Erniang. You don't have to taste this wine to be sure it's very good."
