Chapter 237 Mrs. Gao Ming [Three thousand words! 】
After receiving the imperial edict, Magistrate Su and Li Yi suppressed their extremely shocked feelings and returned to the banquet under Xu Qing's greeting to continue today's birthday banquet.
Originally, Li Yi looked at Xiao Ye and Xiao Ruxue and wanted to salute. After all, it was not good for someone from the royal family to sit at the same table to eat with others in such a careless manner.
Unexpectedly, Li Yi just stood up and said "His Royal Highness, Your Highness", but he was toasted with a glass of wine by Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye just looked at Li Yi and said: "His Royal Highness? There is no such thing as His Highness today. Today I am just a good friend of Brother Xu, bringing my little sister to attend the birthday party of my wife-in-law."
In addition to the fluffy cakes, there are also the essential sweet and sour short ribs and grilled fish on the table today, as well as a variety of other dishes. A large table is set up.
These dishes are all made by Xu Qing and Su Qian, and are naturally full of color, flavor and flavor.
The grilled fish was caught by Xiao Ruxue from the fish pond.
Su Qian suddenly understood why Xiao Ruxue worked so hard to feed the fish every day. She also understood why when Xiao Ruxue came to Uncle Anding's Mansion for the first time, her eyes looked like
It's like shining...
…
Today, Xu Qing could clearly feel Su Qian's happiness, a kind of happiness that he had never seen before. He always felt that Su Qian smiled more today than in the past ten years combined.
Yes, Su Qian has not had a good birthday since she was six years old. Her mother's death from illness was a huge blow to her. She even went so far as to stubbornly believe that her father did not take care of her mother, which led to her mother's death.
.
It was as if I had sealed myself away for ten years.
In the past ten years, the only thing that could accompany her was a few martial arts books left by her mother. Even Xuan'er, as a personal maid, could only take care of her for a period of time when she was sick, and Su Qianping would withdraw from her the rest of the time.
.
These martial arts skills were put in by my father-in-law's master when he was preparing a dowry for her mother. After giving away these things, the old man was left alone.
And these martial arts skills are not advanced secrets, they are average at most. It is said that these martial arts skills were passed down from the older generations, but when my father-in-law's teacher's generation gave up martial arts and followed literature, no one learned these things.
The old man had no children, so he had to stuff these books into his dowry.
But he didn't expect that in those ten years, Su Qian was like a gifted person, relying on a few mediocre martial arts books to practice to the point where he could smash a gravel table with his bare hands.
It's obviously not a profound Qing Gong, but it can be faster than Xiao Ruxue, who is learning advanced Qing Gong.
It's really incredible.
When Xu Qing heard about his wife's martial arts training history, he even doubted whether it was because he was overly sad when his mother-in-law died and opened up the Ren and Du channels. Suddenly, he became a martial arts wizard.
A peerless master.
…
Ten years later, under Xu Qing's care, Su Qian finally had a perfect birthday party.
Moreover, now, Su Qian has a husband who cares about her and loves her, and she also has new friends and sisters.
…
After the birthday banquet, the first person to leave was County Magistrate Li Yisu who went out to see them off in person. Then Xiao Ye and Xiao Ruxue also said goodbye and left. At this time, the only ones left were Su Qian and Xu Qing.
At this point, the food is gone, the cups and plates are in a mess, and all the guests have left...
After sending Xiao Ruxue and Xiao Ye away, Xu Qing and Su Qian stood in the courtyard of Uncle Anding's Mansion.
Xu Qing looked at Su Qian and said with a smile: "Are you satisfied with today's birthday party?"
Su Qian closed her eyes, leaned forward into Xu Qing's arms, and said softly: "Thank you, husband."
Su Qian hugged Su Qian's slender waist with both hands: "Between us husband and wife, there is no way to say thank you."
Xuan'er, who originally wanted to come over to pack her things, saw this scene in the courtyard just as she walked to the Moon Gate. Xuan'er immediately blushed and hid behind the Moon Gate, covering her eyes with her hands, but her sight
But it poured out uncontrollably from the fingers, looking at the pair of beautiful people hugging each other in the courtyard.
The lady and uncle are really in love!
…
"Good son-in-law! What is that..."
At this moment, Magistrate Su finished seeing his senior brother off and walked in.
Xu Qing and Su Qian instinctively jumped back when they heard the voice, with unconcealable embarrassment on their faces, just like high school students in later generations who secretly fell in love and were caught by their parents...
Magistrate Su blinked when he saw the scene in front of him, and immediately turned around and walked out: "Ahem, I'm sorry that I went to the wrong place. You continue, you continue..."
Magistrate Su walked halfway, coughed again, and called Xuan'er away who had been peeking through her fingers...
Su Qian's face turned slightly hot, she moved her lips and said, "Father saw it just now..."
Yes, yes, what should I do if my parents find out?
At this moment... Xu Qing suddenly came to his senses, and then pulled Su Qian into his arms: "If you find out, you will find out. We are a legal couple registered with the government. What can happen even if we see you?"
Su Qian was slightly startled when she was pulled into Xu Qing's arms again. It seemed... like this... They were not the scholar ladies in the story books. What were they afraid of?
…
In the next month, as soon as the Spring Festival ended, the situation in the capital changed immediately. Corrupt officials headed by the Right Minister of Household Affairs were dismissed one after another... and were thrown into prison.
For a time, the originally peaceful capital city suddenly became turbulent, and officials who had been corrupted and bribed were panicked.
Moreover, His Majesty acted so quickly and simultaneously this time, which was clearly premeditated. No one knows how many people are on His Majesty's list.
Of course, when these people's faces changed, the look they looked at Tobe also changed.
Many officials went from fawning over him at the beginning to staying away from him.
imperial study room
Emperor Chu looked at the wise king sitting beside him and said: "Brother, at least three hundred thousand taels of stolen money can be collected and transferred to the treasury. This shows that there are so many moths in the imperial court!"
The wise king nodded and said meaningfully: "Three hundred thousand. The military expenditure allocated for disaster relief was also three hundred thousand. However, it is precisely because of the lack of these three hundred thousand that today's horseshoes can be built, so that we can spend less in the future."
A lot of three hundred thousand, sometimes it’s a blessing in disguise.”
Emperor Chu said: "Three hundred thousand embezzled disaster relief funds can be collected at once. If the imperial court uses the loan method created by Xu Qing to check all the previous accounts, I am afraid that even more can be collected."
That’s three hundred thousand taels more! Da Chu’s treasury can also be filled. Brother Emperor, I..."
Before Emperor Chu could finish his words, he was interrupted by King Xian: "This is where the accounts will be checked."
The Emperor of Chu looked at the wise king and asked in confusion: "Why? Those moths have embezzled so much silver from our Chu treasury, how can we let them go like this? Are we just going to let them corrupt the court?!"
The wise king said, "You have been the emperor for so many years, why can't you understand? Which official who can enter the court has absolutely innocent hands? Once the investigation continues like this, chaos will start before the money is confiscated and the court will be confiscated.
The country, the country, and the country will be destroyed even if it is not managed. Money is important, but the stability of the country and the country is even more important."
