Choosing a sunny and sunny weather, Zheng Wuji and Xu Chunjun came to Huaiyang Palace as guests.

Zheng Wuji drank tea and talked with Huaiyang King's concubine Yao Zheng in the front hall.

Xu Chunjun and the female family members of the Huaiyang Palace were in the back house. The princess was getting old. When Xu Chunjun saw her, he just said a few words and then withdrew.

Jiang Fangfei liked Xu Chunjun very much, so she invited her to her room to drink tea and talk.

In addition, Yao Ruowei, the youngest daughter of King Huaiyang, recently returned to her natal home, and she and Xu Chunjun hit it off right away.

"Mr. Chun, the cook in your house is indeed brought from the capital, and the pastries they make are unique in taste." Concubine Jiang Fang likes the dim sum made by Xu Chunjun's cook, so every time Chunjun comes, he will bring a few Such exquisite dim sum.

"You're really flattered, do you want a cook in the palace?" Xu Chunjun hurriedly said modestly, "But this is more or less my wish."

"Chun Jun, you are a little too busy on weekdays. I can't let you accompany me more." Yao Ruowei was so spoiled that she had no intention of thinking, "When will you have time to come and live here for a while. That's good!"

Yao Ruowei was named the head of the county, and her husband went to Jiangnan for inspections, and it took almost half a year to go back and forth, so she came back to her mother's house.

The age gap between her and her sisters and sisters in the family is very large, so they can't talk about going together.

But when I met Xu Chunjun, I felt that she was amiable everywhere, so I always wanted Xu Chunjun to accompany her.

"The county magistrate loves you, Chunjun dare not disobey." Xu Chunjun said with a smile, "But I'm afraid they will come too frequently and become annoying."

Yao Ruowei hurriedly said: "That's nothing. People say that you come to work hard, but you come less often. It must be because of me."

"Since the county lord doesn't dislike it, I will come here often in the future." Xu Chunjun originally wanted to get closer to the people in Huaiyang Palace, but he was afraid of attracting suspicion.

Yao Ruowei's proposal was exactly what she wanted.

In the front hall, Zheng Wuji was also talking and laughing with Yao Zheng.

Yao Zheng said: "Brother Zheng, you are now setting up free schools in various counties, which is really a good thing to win the hearts of the people.

Even if it is reported to the imperial court, it will definitely be rewarded. "

Zheng Wuji shook his head repeatedly and said: "I can hide this matter from others, how can I hide it from you, Lord Hou? This Chenzhou has a prince sitting in the town, it is peaceful and rich, I can't do much, but I can't do nothing.

Therefore, he had no other choice but to make up such an excuse to gain fame, just to make his face look better during the job report. "

"Although this is true, it is indeed beneficial to the people." Yao Zhengdao, "To be honest, there are not many rich merchants in Chenzhou, and there are really not many people who passed the imperial examination.

Now that you are here, once you do this, it can be said to be complete.We also have light on our faces! "

Zheng Wuji hurriedly said a few words more modestly, and then said: "To tell you the truth, Lord Hou, I have always been a little uneasy in my heart.

It's not for anything else, but after coming here, both the prince and you have taken good care of me.

I am thinking of repaying one or two things, but I don't know how to start.It's really heart-wrenching! "

"Brother Zheng, you are too polite. We are all the emperor's courtiers, and it is enough for you to be loyal to His Majesty.

But don't think about doing anything for us, it's not in compliance with the rules, it's also against the rules, you can't do it, you can't do it. "

Hearing what he said, Zheng Wuji tried to compliment him a few more times.

This kid is good at flattering horses, not blindly flattering.

He knew that Yao Zheng was not without ambition, but because he was the youngest son and he was a concubine, he could only stay by his father's side to fulfill his filial piety.

Although some things cannot be said clearly, they can also be expressed tactfully.

Although Yao Zheng was still wary of Zheng Wuji in his heart, it was really beneficial to listen to him, so he got along very well with Zheng Wuji on the surface.

Zheng Wuji and his wife did not stay for dinner, although the people of Huaiyang Palace tried their best to persuade them to stay.

Sitting on the carriage, Zheng Wuji said to Xu Chunjun: "It seems that the autumn harvest is about to come, and we should prepare to do what we discussed earlier."

"Fortunately, we can maintain superficial peace with the Huaiyang Palace now." Xu Chunjun seemed to be clear in his heart. It is impossible for them to truly become friends with the people in the Huaiyang Palace, "should not be blocked."

"Yes, we came here for two purposes. One is to do some practical things for the local people, and the other is to find fault with King Huaiyang." Zheng Wuji said, "It's just the beginning, I hope It will be smoother in the future.”

"That Yao Ruowei is very innocent, she is willing to get close to me, this is an opportunity.

I'm afraid that other people in the Yao family will be more wary of me because of this, there are many people in Huaiyang Palace who are deeply scheming. "After all, Xu Chunjun is just a woman in the inner house, unlike Zheng Wuji who can show his face in public, and can confront Huaiyang King and people in Chenzhou official circles head-on.

"Madam has helped me a lot." Zheng Wuji sighed, "With you here, how much less worries I have!"

Xu Chunjun is a real good wife, with a big heart and long-sightedness that ordinary women don't have.

Zheng Wuji often thought, if not for being a woman, what kind of pillar of a country would Xu Chunjun be!

"Mr. Wu hasn't come back for quite a while," Xu Chunjun said, "Only when the free school is done, the children from poor families can really have a way out.

On the surface, Chenzhou seems to be peaceful, but in fact, it is the most difficult for the people to turn over.

Regardless of the officialdom, the land or the business field, they have long been firmly controlled by these people. "

"Prince Huaiyang didn't go to the capital to avoid suspicion, but the people of Chenzhou suffered." Zheng Wuji also shook his head and sighed.

Back at the mansion, Ziling happily came over with a plate of dim sum, and said to Xu Chunjun with a smile: "Girl, this is the horseshoe cake newly made by Aunt Huang. It is delicious and soft, please try a piece."

Xu Chunjun was getting close, but he could only smell the oily smell on the snack, and his heart felt sick.

He hurriedly covered his mouth with a handkerchief, but still retched.

"Girl, what's the matter?" Zi Ling asked in fright.

"What kind of oil is in this cake?" Xu Chunjun retreated and said, "I smell weird."

"It's just that some lard is put in, and it's freshly boiled. How could there be a strange smell?" Zi Ling felt very strange. Xu Chunjun usually puts lard in his snacks, and he has never done this before.

Zheng Wuji took a piece to taste and said: "I eat very well, there is no strange smell. Is there something wrong with you?"

Before Xu Chunjun could speak, Zi Ling's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Girl, could it be Yuxi?" Zi Ling whispered, "Quickly ask a doctor to come and take a look."

After Zheng Wuji heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly called someone over to invite the doctor.

Xu Chunjun was indeed pregnant, but she didn't take it seriously because she was somewhat unaccustomed to come to Chenzhou, and the monthly letter was not accurate.

But Zheng Wuji was so happy that he wanted to help Xu Chunjun but he didn't dare to use his strength.

Said: "You must be careful, from today on, don't work a little bit, let alone worry a little bit.

Take care of your baby with peace of mind, everything depends on me! "
