Chu Qingzhi looked at the old man, "Do you have a household registration and a certificate issued by the village?"

The old man immediately wiped away his tears, "I came here fleeing famine. At that time, I was seriously ill, and my family abandoned me. Unfortunately, I didn't die. Now I live alone in the cave, without household registration, let alone relatives... ..."

"It's okay, if you're really poor, we'll give you taels of silver." Chu Qingzhi called a yamen servant, and whispered, "Go and prepare some rice and noodles, and take five taels of silver to send the old man back."

The yamen servant cupped his hands, "Yes, I'll go right away."

Chu Qingzhi turned around and said to the old man, "Wait a moment, I'll send you back, because you're in such a difficult situation, I'll bring you some food, just wait a moment."

The old man couldn't help crying, and knelt down to Chu Qingzhi, "Girl, thank you, thank you so much."

Chu Qingzhi helped the man up, "You wait here, the yamen servant will be here in a while."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

The yamen servant went to prepare, and then helped the old man to his residence.

Seeing this situation, those around who were ready to fish in troubled waters and pretend to be poor all left helplessly. Chu Qingzhizhen was not so easy to fool.

Half an hour later, the yamen servant returned to the county yamen, "Girl, what the old man said is indeed true, I gave him all the things and money."

Chu Qingzhi nodded, "It's been hard work, take a rest."

The emperor secretly thought, although it is a very small matter, can it be handled better by himself?Could other officials have handled it better?
Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help asking Chu Qingzhi, "Qingzhi, if you were given a chance, would you be willing to serve as an official?"

Chu Qingzhi looked at the emperor up and down. To be an official in the court is to work for the emperor. If you play well, you may not be rewarded. If you play badly, you will die. She is not willing to do these thankless things.

"There is no such opportunity, and I don't want to."

emperor,"……"

Can you stop being so straightforward and think about it a little bit?

The emperor was very curious, "Why don't you want to? Being an official is a great thing to honor your ancestors, and a woman is an official, unprecedented, so it is a good thing to honor your life!"

Chu Qingzhi tactfully said, "I like freedom."

The emperor retorted, "Being an official is also very free."

Chu Qingzhi asked, "Is the emperor the biggest official in the world? Is he free?"

emperor,"……"

The queen smiled, "Qing Zhi, you are wise."

The imperial court is a mess of porridge. It is not easy to get in, and it is even more difficult to get out. If you don’t pay attention, you will be boiled. There are many dangers, but you are still free.

Chu Qing Zhiwei raised her eyebrows, "I never choose things that are not good for me."

The emperor couldn't help but said, "You are indeed wise."

Several people were chatting here, and the county magistrate looked at Chu Qingzhi with admiration. You are the only one who can chat with the emperor on an equal footing.

No one came to Nian Jinfa at noon, so everyone packed up and went back to the village.

……

On the way, the emperor suddenly became serious, "Qing Zhi, I want to ask you something, can you think about it?"

Chu Qingzhi said, "Tell me what's going on first, and I'll decide whether to think about it or not."

emperor,"……"

"I will send Jing Hong to Dongling in the next year, can you help him together?"

"Only someone with your ability can solve the matter of Dongling. Let other people go, nothing but death is complicity. The problem of Dongling will never be resolved."

"The situation in Dongling is too serious. When the time comes, Jing Hong won't be able to separate himself. I'm afraid he will fall into the trap of villains."

In addition, Jing Hong is a general after all, and he doesn't know how to govern. If there is Chu Qingzhi, there is no need to worry about these problems at all.

For the people of Dongling, he had to ask Chu Qingzhi to go.

It doesn't matter to Chu Qingzhi, she is already famous now, she can go to other places to stay, but the emperor can't achieve her goal so easily.

Seeing that Chu Qingzhi didn't speak, the emperor said again, "Just say what you want, as long as I can do it, I will do it."

Chu Qingzhi said, "In the future, I will make three requests within your ability, and I hope you agree."

The emperor should be very straightforward, "Okay, I agree."

Chu Qingzhi said again, "Also, if I go to Dongling, I may kill many people, I hope you are mentally prepared."

The emperor promised, "I will give you three blank imperial edicts, and the people at Dongling can be disposed of at your disposal."

Chu Qingzhi thought for a while, "You send someone to prepare more food, herbs, seeds, and cotton clothes, and then Jing Hong and I will take them to Dongling."

The emperor said, "I agree." He paused, "It takes [-] days to travel from the capital to Dongling. In order to catch up with the spring plowing, I will arrange for you and Jing Hongchu to leave on the third day, is that okay?"

Chu Qingzhi nodded, "Okay."

……

After returning to the village, everyone was already worshiping the ancestors, and a few people did not go there.

Seeing Chu Qingzhi coming back, the little prince rushed over, "Sister Chu, where have you been?"

"I'm going to the county seat." Chu Qingzhi put a longevity lock on the little prince's neck, "A gift for you, do you like it?"

The little prince held the longevity lock tightly with his small hands, and was very happy, "I like it, it's so beautiful."

Chu Qingzhi smiled, "Wear it every day, it can bless you with a long life."

The little prince nodded obediently, "Yes."

The ancestor worship ceremony lasted for an hour, and people will come back in a while.

Chu Qingzhi invited the emperor and the empress, "Come over and have dinner together, eat soup pot, I will make it myself." In winter, eating soup pot is the most suitable.

The queen was quite interested, "Qingzhi, I'll help."

Chu Qingzhi nodded, "Okay, let's go."

We discussed what to eat last night, and now we have prepared meatballs, fish balls, fried crispy meat, dried tofu, fried dough sticks, lotus root, winter bamboo shoots, boneless chicken feet, duck feet, chicken gizzards, etc.

In addition, there are pig hearts, pig livers, pig brains, pig kidneys, etc. that have not been eaten before.

various kinds.

Chu Qingzhi only does one thing, boil the bottom of the pot, red soup and clear soup, make two pots, some people like spicy food, some people can't eat spicy food, each chooses when the time comes.

First prepare the spices for the bottom of the pot. The broth was cooked yesterday. At this time, it is boiled on the warm stove with old chicken and lamb bones. It is very, very fragrant.

When the queen walked into the kitchen, she could smell the mouth-watering fragrance, "Qingzhi, the kitchen smells so good."

Chu Qingzhi opened the cabinet and prepared spices, "I've been cooking delicious food in the kitchen recently."

The Queen looked around and asked, "What can I do?"

"Help me wash the vegetables." Chu Qingzhi pointed to the Shau Kei next to the sink, which was full of side dishes such as shallots, celery, green onions, and garlic sprouts.

The queen was also very down-to-earth, rolling up her sleeves, "Okay, I'll be in charge of washing the vegetables."

Chu Qingzhi asked, "By the way, did you ever go to the kitchen when you were at home?"

The queen nodded, "I'm sorry, when the family celebrates big festivals, my mother, I, and Yuru will all cook, but the cooking skills may not be so good."

Chu Qingzhi took the spices and walked towards the stove, "I thought Miss Qianjin didn't do anything."

The Queen laughed, "That's a misunderstanding."
