Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 223 Such a origin

This is perfectly normal to say from anyone who has received her favor, but why does Chu Mufeng have such expectations of her?
"Thank you, Lord Bai, for your kindness."

Chu Mufeng stood up and said, "I will reply to the palace according to the actual situation until your injury recovers. Then I will take my leave now."

After Bafang sent him away, he quickly approached Meng Changqing and said, "Master, what Master Bai said makes sense. Even if the incident in Beishan County delays this season and this year, there will always be a way to remedy it in the future, but your body cannot be risked. ”

"I know." Meng Changqing said, "You should always believe Sister Hua. If I was really at risk of lameness, how could she go back with confidence?"

"I am also concerned about..."

Before Bafang finished speaking, Meng Changqing said: "I know you have good intentions. You can go and do other things first while I finish reading these things."

The door to the study room was closed again. Meng Changqing held an official document in his hand, but his eyes did not fall on it.

Under the desk, she moved her injured foot a little.

In the capital city, at the residence of the Grand Tutor.

The old lady in the backyard talked to her son who came to greet her.

"Yesterday, on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, I went to the Eastern Suburbs Gym to offer incense and overheard some gossip."

Zong Shouqing sat on a stool beside him, "What did mother hear?"

"I heard that some of the officials who were traveling with me were talking about a woman." The old lady asked him, "Do you know Mr. Mo from the Ministry of Rites?"

"As officials in the same dynasty, we naturally know each other."

"He has a rich daughter, but he was raped by a thief in the capital a few years ago?"

Zong Shouqing thought for a while, "Who did mother listen to? His daughter was held hostage by thieves, but she was rescued not long after."

Hearing this, the old lady put the teacup in her hand heavily on the table, "It was Changqing who saved her, but?"

Zong Shouqing's smile immediately became unnatural, "Yes."

"You all know! You know everything outside, but no one came to tell me!" The old lady said angrily: "Before Changqing came to the house, your father saw it, and you saw it too, why didn't anyone come to inform me? That's all. You are busy with business and government affairs, and you don't think of me. I can still understand.

But his legs were stabbed, and you still didn’t say a word. Why? Am I not from this family? "

"Mom, calm down." Zong Shouqing bent over to comfort you, "Father and I didn't tell you because we were afraid that you would worry. Besides, we heard about Changqing's injury from other people. We didn't see it with our own eyes, so we don't know the extent of his injury. "How?" the old lady said, "It's true that he left the city early in the morning to seek medical treatment. From this point of view, is his injury not serious?"

You and your father hang around the house every day like nothing has happened. If I hadn't happened to hear those two gossips, I might never have known the news. "

The old lady frowned and asked the son in front of her, "He is the apprentice who knelt down and served tea to your father. In the past, whenever there was anything at home, as long as he could help, he would always try his best to get it done."
You and Jun'er still owe him a debt of gratitude.

I think you and your father treated him well in the past, what? He has offended the royal family, are you anxious to get rid of him?

Do you still have any sense of literati integrity? "

"Mother, mother!" Zong Shouqing sighed, "Look where you are thinking? Have I ever been afraid of anything? Although my father is smooth in doing things, you should know his behavior. He has never been afraid of power."

He softened his tone and explained: "Changqing is in a special situation right now. There are a lot of eyes staring at him. He is still a fledgling. If we care too much, we may bring disaster to him."

"According to what you say, we can only let him go?"

"It's not that you don't know how much my father values ​​him." Zong Shouqing said, "Besides, Changqing has always been very witty. If he needs our help, he will definitely let us know. Don't worry."

"How can I rest assured that his orphans and widows are in that wilderness." The old lady held her forehead and rubbed it. The maid next to her quickly adjusted her position, stood behind her, and rubbed the acupuncture points on her head.

"Wait a minute!" In the Beishan County Yamen, Qi Renli raised his hand after drinking a lot of tea, with a confused look on his face: "Colonel Yang, Qi is so rude, may I ask where the nearest toilet is?"

Yang Zheng stood up, "I'll take you there."

He quickly took the person to the place and waited outside the door for him to deal with it.

Qi Renli stayed in the latrine for a long time before coming out. After coming out, he would look back at the latrine from time to time and said, "Captain Yang, the toilet in this county government office is really novel."

Yang Zheng smiled and said: "This is done according to the requirements of my family. After use, it is washed down with water, and the dirt flows into the special cesspool along the underground ditch. This is easy to clean, and it saves labor."

"Did Mr. Meng come up with this method himself? I haven't seen it anywhere else. Your Excellency is really a fantastic idea."

Yang Zheng nodded in agreement first, and then added: "But if you want to build such a toilet, you must open the underground ditch at the beginning of building the house. You see, the weather here is very cold, and the underground ditch connecting the two ends cannot be frozen." , there are also many difficulties. When you first built it, you thought about it for many days.

There are only two such toilets in Qianya.

Apart from this, there is only one room left, which is at the end of the house where the government servants live. That room is larger and the door cannot be locked. This room is smaller and is only used by government officials. "

The people of Qi immediately decided to use such a hut with such a provenance.
