The general has a cute wife

Chapter 838
"The scent of acacia honey."

Qin Lianyue looked at him shyly: "My lord can smell it."

Xiao Jiancong smiled and let go of her silk handkerchief: "I have always been able to smell the fragrance of my daughter's house the most."

Xiao Jian never intentionally hooked up with her, so naturally he was ambiguous.

Qin Lianyue was even more shy. When the night wind blew, she lifted a few strands of her hair. Xiao Jian raised her hand and wrapped it around with her fingertips. Qin Lianyue's heart skipped a beat, and she stared blankly at him.

"I've traveled to many places, but I didn't expect to meet a girl like Lian Yue in such a remote place. It's a pity."

Qin Lianyue hurriedly asked: "Why is it a pity?"

Xiao Jiancong let go of her hair: "The empress is my aunt, and I am the only son in my family. The one I want to marry must be the daughter who is in the same family as the Xiao family. Even if I want to be with you, our family status is not worthy after all, alas ~"

Qin Lianyue covered her mouth and wet her eyes: "My lord."

Xiao Jian forced a smile: "Forget it, you can go back."

He went back to the house, closed the door and looked outside, Qin Lianyue ran away with her mouth covered in tears.

Xiao Jiancong smacked his lips: "It's really too simple, you can succeed in a few words, so it's not challenging."

With Qin Lianyue's matter settled, Xiao Jian has been waiting for Ning Shu's return with peace of mind.

Ning Shu didn't go far, just passed the roof in the night, not only looked at what the people were eating, but also heard a lot of things, and went to the mansion specially, it was as quiet as in the daytime, but she was breathing The nose smelled something wrong.

Following the smell, he came to a small courtyard, removed a small tile and looked inside, Qin Mu and Ge Rui were there, embracing beauties and drinking wine, and there were a lot of delicious food on the table.

Ning Shu looked at it for a while, put the tiles back and left quietly, returned to the backyard of the Qin residence, opened the window and entered, and was embraced.

Xiao Jian smiled brightly: "I'm back."

"You let me go first."

He hugged her and sat down, poured her water, and waited for her to speak.

"Those people are really pitiful. Many people boil a large pot of water around the fire and put only a few grains of rice in it. The children are so hungry that they are out of shape. I also heard them say, 'Don't cry, don't cry, wait for this The old man left, and the imperial court took the money and bought a small half bag of rice bran back, enough to feed for half a year, so you won’t be hungry.” That sounds so pitiful. I also saw Ge Rui and Qin Mu in the government office. In a small room, it’s a very remote place where people eat, drink, talk and laugh.”

Xiao Jiancong was a little curious: "Why did you visit such a remote courtyard?"

"I smelled it. They ate a ginseng chicken soup. It smelled too good. I ran over to have a look, but it seemed that the seasoning was less and the taste was not very authentic."

Xiao Jiancong: "."

Connecting what she said together, Xiao Jiancong probably understood a little bit.

"I'm afraid it's the biggest corrupt official case I've ever handled."

Ning Shu didn't believe it: "In such a poor place, how much can they greed for?"

Xiao Jian hooked the corner of her mouth: "The common people can't be greedy for anything. What they are greedy for is the large amount of silver allocated by the imperial court every year."

"Didn't you say you were corrupted by officials along the road?"

"Greed is greed, but who do you think has the guts to greedy all the 200 million taels of silver every year?"

Ning Shu was shocked: "Oh my God, there are so many every year, and they have been here for so many years, how much they have to be greedy."
