Chapter 107 The Proud Colleague

Back on Shantang Street, the Lin family was still waiting.

Tian Qi and Shuai Hui carried the big and small bags into the main room. Mrs. Lin was very distressed at Wang Xian's waste of money, but her words and demeanor were more affectionate.It can be seen that the saying, "Courtesy is everywhere in the world, but impoliteness is difficult to walk an inch" is indeed applicable everywhere, even the old lady of the scholarly family cannot be exempt from the custom...

Lin Qing'er asked if they had eaten, and Wang Xian said that they had eaten outside, and after a few words, they went back to their rooms to sleep.Shuai Hui and Er Hei slept with Tian Qi, and Wang Xian, the future son-in-law, naturally got some preferential treatment, and slept in the wing room prepared for Lin Qinger.

A moment after Wang Xian entered the room, the door was gently pushed open, and Lin Qing'er brought him water for washing his feet, only to find that within a short while, he had already fallen asleep lying on the bed.

The solitary lamp was like a bean, under the dim light and shadow, that young and delicate face was full of worry and fatigue... and these were not seen in the daytime at all.He always brings smiles and warmth to others, but resists all difficulties by himself... Lin Qing'er's nose is slightly sour, and her eyes are moist. This young man who is one year younger than himself has really transformed into a man. A man she can rely on wholeheartedly...

While she was full of relief, she couldn't help feeling sorry for herself, seeing him so tired, but she couldn't do anything...

.

Wang Xian didn't sleep well at first, but he felt someone touching his feet. When he opened his eyes, he saw Sister Lin squatting on the ground, taking off his shoes.

Feeling the tightness on his body, Lin Qing'er didn't raise her head, and said softly: "Don't move." She took off the sock on his right foot, held his foot with both hands, gently put it in the basin, and washed it carefully Mu.

"No way," Wang Xian said in his heart, he always had respect for Lin Qing'er, otherwise he wouldn't have been with his hands all the time when they were under the same roof, but he would be in love with Sister Lin and stop at courtesy ... Now seeing her washing her feet, she was immediately flattered and said: "The hands that write and draw are not for washing people's feet."

Only then did Lin Qing'er slowly raise her head, and she didn't know if she was smothered by the water vapor or what, her pretty face was as red as jade, her eyes looked at him affectionately, and she said affectionately: "This is my wife. duty."

Hearing this sentence, Wang Xian's whole body felt hot, and he felt refreshed, sat up and said: "Qing'er, can you say it again."

"Lie down." The ambiguous atmosphere became more and more intense, Lin Qinger couldn't hold back her shame, stretched out her hand to push him, and said coquettishly, "Is it your wife or what? Are you really siblings?"

"Hehe, no." Wang Xian laughed, lay down obediently and said, "I know you have always felt wronged, and you feel that with someone like me, being a sister and brother is acceptable, but being a husband and wife is a big loss..."

"Although you are extremely smart, you don't know anything about women's minds." Lin Qing'er shook her head, rubbing the acupuncture points on her feet for him, biting her lips and said, "I said a long time ago, as long as you are willing to make progress, it doesn't matter whether you are Shi Nong Gong Shang, I will not feel wronged even if I follow you to eat bran swallowed vegetables..."

"Hehe..." Wang Xian smiled happily.

"It's me, seeing you carry such a heavy burden, but I can't help you with anything," Lin Qing'er said quietly, "I feel really useless."

"Why is it useless?" Wang Xian's nasal voice became more and more serious, and he snorted, "I'm comfortable now, I'm about to fall asleep..." After speaking, there was a slight snoring sound.

Sister Lin's hand didn't stop, she pressed him for half an hour before drying his feet, carried him back to the bed with difficulty, and gently covered him with the quilt.

Looking at his sleeping face, exhaustion finally disappeared, replaced by a baby-like serenity, Lin Qing'er smiled gratifiedly even though she was tired.

She couldn't help but pressed a light kiss on his forehead, then blew out the oil lamp in a panic, and shyly closed the door and went out.

Back in her mother's room, she saw that the old woman could not bear it anymore and fell asleep.Lin Qing'er couldn't help complaining that she was really unfilial.It's only been two days since I came back, and I still can't spend time with my old lady.He quickly turned off the light, took off his shoes and went to bed, and gently pulled the quilt for his mother, only to see her smile and open her eyes.

"Mother, did your daughter quarrel with you?" Lin Qing'er whispered.

"If the daughter doesn't come back, can the mother sleep well?" The old lady smiled slightly.

"I'm sorry, mother..." Lin Qing'er was very sorry, but she didn't know how to explain it.

"What stupid things are you talking about? Is my mother the kind of person who bullies my daughter?" The old lady stretched out her hand to brush her daughter's hair, and said with great comfort: "Mother is finally relieved. Before you said that you were not wronged, you are very happy." Happy, it's all true..."

"Of course it's true." Lin Qing'er got under the covers shyly, and was no longer ashamed to show her head.

.

Early the next morning, just after breakfast, a guard from Changzhou County drove to pick him up.Today, Uncle Tian didn't need to lead the way. Wang Xian only took Shuaihui and Erhei, got into the carriage and went to the county government office first. After Xu Zhixian finished his official duties, he followed his sedan chair to the old site of Dahong Temple in the Yuan Dynasty. Su Song Salt Transportation Branch.

Yansi Yamen's eyes are high above the top, and they look down on mere seventh-rank officials at all. Thanks to Xu Zhixian's parents in the county, they look at him differently and make him look good.

But the door bag cannot be saved, of course it is Wang Xian.After receiving the famous assassin from Xuzhi County, Menzi invited him to have tea in the concierge. Wang Xian didn't even have a seat, so he had to stand aside.

After waiting for at least half an hour, the concierge came to let them in.Wang Xian couldn't help but glance at Xu Zhixian with admiration. What he admired even more was the foresight of this uncle...he came in and sat there for so long, but Xu Zhixian didn't drink a sip of water. That's what urgency is.

Thinking of this, he has no complaints against Xu Zhixian.It is really difficult to be a county magistrate in the provincial capital. The main halls in other counties are full of parents and elders, but the magistrates in the provincial capital are like grandsons. They have to kowtow to worship Bodhisattva in any temple.Therefore, Xu Zhixian's willingness to bring him here is already very interesting, how can he expect others to take care of him?People don't have that ability at all!
Entering the room signed by Tong Zhi of the Yan Division, Xu Zhi County waited a while, and an official in his 50s and [-]s, wearing a scarlet robe, finally lifted the curtain and came out of the room.

What I have to say is that this person broke Wang Xian's good feeling for the scarlet robe... At first when he saw Zhou Xin wearing the scarlet robe and sitting in the hall, the coldness and nobility almost blinded his eyes.Since then, Wang Xian has been a little obsessed with scarlet official robes. He dreamed several times that he was wearing scarlet robes, sitting in front of the breakfast stall and eating tofu nao... How cool is that.

But the person in front of him is short and fat, with a protruding chest and a protruding belly, wrapped in a crimson official robe, like a red lantern.On a face full of fat, the nose is very glaring, but the two small eyes reveal arrogance and indifference.

This is the Yang Tongzhi who hurt them.

Xu Zhixian stood up in a hurry to salute, but Yang Tongzhi just snorted, then piled his butt on the main seat, "Sit."

"Thank you, sir." Xu Zhixian only dared to put half of his butt on the chair.

"Your county took the time to come here," Yang Tongzhi squinted his eyes and said, "I don't know what business is there?"

"It's not our county's official business to go back to your lord." The magistrate Xu said, "I was entrusted by my friends from my hometown to deliver two letters to your lord."

"Where is the fellow from the same town?" Yang Tongzhi asked with a smile, "You can actually make your county a courier."

"It was the same year when I was dismissed from office, Wei Wenyuan, magistrate of Fuyang county." Xu county magistrate replied.

"..." Hearing about Fuyang County, Yang Tongzhi felt as if he had eaten flies, and said, "It turns out that Gui County is here to be a lobbyist."

"Your Excellency misunderstood." Xu Zhixian hurriedly said: "It is indeed a letter delivery, not only the letter from Wei Zhixian to Your Excellency, but also the personal letters from Zhejiang Zheng Fangbo and Zhou Nietai." He said to Wang Xian: "I haven't delivered the letter to you yet. grown ups."

Wang Xian then took out three letters from his bosom, and bowed them to Yang Tongzhi. Yang Tongzhi took them for a long time, and said to Xu Zhixian, "Why did you bring a scribe?"

"He is the person in charge of buying grain in Fuyang this time." Xu Zhixian explained: "Wei Zhixian sent him to deliver the letter, and he also meant to accept questions from adults."

"You were really messing around in the same year. A scribe was responsible for such a big matter." Yang Tongzhi opened a letter with a letter opener, and said while digging out the letter: "Are there any good things in the scribe? These cunning and greedy people, no wonder such a big thing happened."

Wang Xian stood behind Xu Zhixian with his head down. He had to hold back to prevent his fist from falling on the pig's face.

"Are you still young after all?" Xu Zhixian said with a smile, "We had a subject in the fourth year of Yongle, when the Jindian handed down the class, the emperor saw that this kid was young, and let him go home to study as a Jinshi, so that he can be used when he grows up. This was passed as a joke at the time, adults should have heard of it, right?"

Xu Zhixian wanted to imply to the other party that although Wei Zhixian was young and humble, he was still in the emperor's heart, so it was better not to offend him.Who knew that Yang Tongzhi ignored it, shook his head resolutely and said: "I haven't heard of it."

Xu Zhixian had no choice but to shut up and wait for him to read the letter. With a cup of tea, Yang Tongzhi finished reading the letters from Zheng Fantai and Zhou Jietai. As for Wei Zhixian's letter, he didn't even open it...

Under Xu Zhixian's expectant eyes, Yang Tongzhi said: "I have read the letter from the two Daxians, and I will reply to them later." own messenger."

"Then..." Xu Zhixian bit the bullet and asked, "Dare you ask when you will release him?"

"Your county is also in charge of the judiciary, how can you say such a thing?" Yang Tongzhi wanted to show a face of righteousness, but his appearance was too bad, and he looked quite wretched: "When to release people, and whether to release people, it all depends on the As for the case itself, if they go through the trial and they are indeed innocent, they will naturally be released immediately."

"Then can we release the ship first?" Xu Zhixian asked again: "Zhejiang was hit by a disaster, and 10,000+ people in Fuyang County are still waiting for food to save their lives."

"There is no such reason." Yang Tongzhi said decisively: "There is a way that if people take stolen goods together, they can't release the ship alone unless they are proved innocent." Didn't Si become an accomplice?"

.

　The second change, ask for votes.There is another update that I will not make up for today, I am too sleepy... In addition, I am very grateful to the friends who voted for me, it is you who let me return to the list, bow, kowtow!
