The general has a cute wife

Chapter 834

Ning Shu took a sip and vomited: "It's so bad, it still smells musty."

The old yamen servant rubbed his hands in embarrassment: "The government yamen is poor and can't afford good tea. The villain is going to pour a cup of hot water for the girl."

Ning Shu was embarrassed to let the old man run back and forth, and hurriedly said: "No need, no need, I'm not thirsty, and I don't want to drink water yet, it's okay."

Xiao Jiancong looked at the old yamen servant: "Is the uncle from Leshui Town? Do you have relatives at home? Why do you still come to be a yamen servant at such an age?"

The old yamen servant lowered his head and said: "In terms of adults, the villain is from Leshui Town, and there is an old wife and grandson at home. The son and daughter-in-law have not returned for many years after going out to ask for a living. The county government is too poor, and the monthly money given is too little. , Young people are not willing to do it, so they let the villain take advantage of it, so they can use some money to make ends meet.”

Xiao Jiancong nodded: "Is that the wealthy family Mr. Ge mentioned just now?"

The old yamen servant said: "It's Lord Qin's family in Leshui Town. His ancestors were high-ranking officials in Xianyang and accumulated some land and property. They are already considered the best wealthy family in Leshui Town. Every time a high-ranking official comes, the manor The old government officials in the yamen are not willing to live here, so they always go to their house."

Xiao Jiancong was thoughtful: "So that's the case. No wonder Mr. Ge said that just now. It seems that there are too many lessons learned from the past."

After sitting for a while, Ge Rui led a well-dressed middle-aged man in. He was a little plump, and he should be the well-to-do Mr. Qin that the old yamen servant said.

The two came in to greet each other, greeted each other, and Xiao Jian followed them after saying a few words of courtesy.

Ning Shu tugged at his sleeve and asked in a low voice, "They are so pitiful. Let's not stay too long, okay? And I have to eat a little less. I'm sorry if I make their family poor all of a sudden."

Xiao Jian couldn't help coughing a few times: "You can't eat their food, don't worry."

They didn't get on their horses either, but followed Qin Mu and Gray. Many people came out to look at them along the way, all of them in ragged clothes, but there were not a few young people in sight.

Gray sighed: "Life here is poor, and the folks are nostalgic for the old days. No matter how poor they are, they are reluctant to leave. Instead, some young people have gone out to beg for a living. As a result, there are not many young people in the whole town."

Ning Shu asked: "Master Ge, since you are so poor, why didn't you tell the court?"

Gray shook his head and sighed: "Girl, I said it, it's useless. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. If you give us money from Xianyang to here, there is not much left."

Ning Shu couldn't help becoming angry: "Those corrupt officials are really hateful, they should be killed if they are caught."

Qin Mu said with a smile: "The girl is really chivalrous, I don't know if it belongs to Lord Xiao?"

Xiao Jiancong smiled: "She is my unmarried daughter-in-law."

Ning Shu's eyes widened: "Where is it? Don't talk nonsense."

Gray and Qin Mu comprehended: "It turns out that the adults and the girls are both talented and beautiful, and they match very well."

Xiao Jian smiled politely and did not argue.

Followed them to the Qin residence, it was really a wealthy family with a small family, but it was much better than those private houses, and the one with blue tiles and white walls was not bad.

Following in, Ning Shu was still a little unhappy: "You talk nonsense, I'm not happy."

Xiao Jiancong held her by the hand: "If you don't say that, you will be in trouble."

Ning Shu blinked: "Trouble? What trouble?"

He smiled: "I'll talk to you tonight."
