Chapter 277 Building a ladder while digging a hole

This meeting is destined to break up unhappy.

Zhou Zhifu was pissed off by Cui Pu, but he couldn't take it because of the face of Hejian County King, so he finally returned to Yangzhou City full of anger.

Wu Lixin was not much better.But in his heart, he was still worried - Cui Pu's last words were like a spell, firmly ensnared in his heart, making him restless, wishing to fly back to Tianchang County now to see what happened thing!

He was in a hurry to leave, but Zhou Zhifu couldn't stop him, so he had no choice but to leave with him.But before leaving, Zhou Zhifu specially left his cronies to choose a house for Hejian County King.

After sending the two of them away, Cui Pu returned to the inner courtyard with a sullen face: "I have completely fallen out with the prefect of Zhou now. From now on, we are destined to have a hard time here."

"Really? But when we went to Tianchang County, we didn't see how easy it was!" Mu Jiaojiao laughed.

"It's not the same now as before..."

"It's nothing different. Didn't you also be sent to Tianchang County as the magistrate of Wu Erlang as a stepping stone? Now they still regard you as a stepping stone. It's just that the weight of your stepping stone is heavier than before... ...Well, it has to be made of copper anyway. Maybe next year, it will be made of iron, and the next year it will be made of silver, and the next year it will be made of annuity, and it will become more and more expensive."

Cui Pu couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"According to what you say, I have to thank them for pressing so hard?"

"Yeah! Doesn't this just mean that you are really capable, and you are already so powerful that they are always on guard?" Mu Jiaojiao smiled and cupped his face, "And if you can still be in their hands If you cut a bloody path under pressure at every step, it means that you are really capable, and even the surname Wu can't stop you! This is another slap in the face of them, this slap will definitely It will be louder and brighter than before, and it will embarrass the Wu family even more."

Cui Pu paused and did not speak.

Mu Jiaojiao smiled slightly again: "Have you forgotten what you said to Uncle when you knew you were going to Hailing County? Although it was to appease Uncle at the time, it might not be without your true thoughts in it, right? "

"You're right." Recalling what he said that day, Cui Pu's eyes immediately became firm.

"Although I know that my father and brother's words were said to me on purpose, just to arouse my grievances and let me continue to work here. But why don't I want to make something in a new world? A new achievement? People surnamed Wu want to suppress me, but I will not let them suppress! I want to let them know that even if my husband is a concubine, he is not just someone unknown to them. The Wu family can step on it and ravage it at will!"

Mu Jiaojiao nodded. "Since you have made up your mind, you can do it without hesitation! No matter what, don't forget that I will always stand behind you and support you... By the way, we still have our daughter!"

Hearing her talk about her daughter, a trace of tenderness appeared on Cui Pu's face again.

He quickly reached out to touch her round belly, and slowly leaned his head on her shoulder: "It's good to have you by my side. I actually understand these truths in my heart, but sometimes when I am hit hard by this cruel reality, I will I felt a little world-weary, and then thought of quitting. If you hadn't encouraged me to comfort me in time, I'm afraid I would really get into that snail shell and never come out."

Mu Jiaojiao then patted his head. "You have been hit by these successive shocks, and you are depressed and unable to vent your mood. Even without me, you will come out in three or two days according to your temperament. But now, let's see when we are free, Let's go out for a walk together again, look at the blue sky and white clouds outside, let this stale breath out and you will get better faster."

Hearing what she said, Cui Pu immediately remembered.

"I remember receiving a report a few days ago, saying that a sea boat was about to dock at the ferry in our county. There must be a lot of good things from Fanbang on that boat, why don't we go and have a look? I remember that The squire who was in charge of shipping also specially wrote me a letter, asking us to pick up some small things and come back to play. By the way, we can also go there to eat some seafood.”

"Okay!" Mu Jiaojiao nodded quickly when talking about food.

She and Cui Puben are a pair of foodies.And since the little guy in his belly got off the boat, he didn't bother her much.Mu Jiaojiao eats and sleeps well every day, and has a big appetite. In just one month, his appetite has doubled.It is conceivable that this little guy in his stomach will definitely be a foodie in the future.

But... Mu Jiaojiao immediately thought of another question: "What about the county king? He just came here, so we left him?"

He just made this decision to leave that old bastard behind, okay?

Cui Pu put on a serious face: "I have inquired about it a long time ago. Although his illness is serious, but the episodes are not frequent. This time the episode has just ended, and it will take another ten days and a half months to talk about the next time. And he is expensive. As the king of the county, how can we have the right to live under the same roof with him? That's beyond the rules! So I think we might as well avoid it for a few days, and let him move out after Zhou Zhifu finds his mansion for him. Come back again. In this way, we will avoid being caught again and say that we are disrespectful to the county king. "

Mu Jiaojiao immediately squinted and stared at him for a long time.

Cui Pu still had a serious expression: "I made this decision after careful consideration!"

She believed him after careful consideration, but she didn't believe that he didn't hide any careful thoughts.

The two each maintained this expression for quite a while, and finally Mu Jiaojiao burst out laughing. "Okay, let's go! I know what you say makes sense, everything is up to you!"

"Yeah, as expected of my wife, my husband really likes you to death!" Cui Pu quickly hugged her, kissed and called her, very happy.

The next day, the couple packed up their bags and headed to the Yellow Sea.

This way, they said they were going to patrol the countryside, but in fact the two of them were just playing for fun.So along the way, the chariots and horses walked at a leisurely pace.While admiring the scenery of early summer, they took delicacies from all over the world into their arms, and had a great time.

Knowing that the two of them left the Hailing county government office the next day, the magistrate Zhou smiled coldly: "Though they still have some brains, they know to keep a distance from the county king. My money to buy the house is not in vain. "

As shrewd as he is, he can get the approval of Concubine Wu Hui and the Patriarch of the Wu family, so how could he not know that Cui Pu offered to buy a house for the Prince of Hejian to provoke him on purpose?It's just that these words catered to his thoughts, so he pushed the boat along and took this topic over.By the way, he also wanted to see how this person would behave in the future.

And the following facts also proved that Cui Pu was able to get to where he is today, because he was indeed somewhat shrewd and capable.Just like the way of voluntarily leaving the Hailing county government office now is very light and beautiful, and it made his plan to take the opportunity to frame him aborted.

"However, if you can hide from the first day of the new year, you can't hide from the fifteenth day. If you run outside, you will always come back. Besides, are those people you are in charge of shipping and water transportation all easy to get along with?" The corners of his lips hooked, knowing that The gloomy road in the mansion.

It's just that it's the complete opposite of his self-satisfaction.Two days after Wu Lixin hurried back to Tianchang County, he hurried back to Yangzhou City.

"Hurry up and ask someone to call Cui Pu over, I have something important to discuss with him!"

Seeing his anxious expression, Zhou Zhifu frowned: "Mr. Erlang, but what happened? You tell the subordinate, the subordinate may be able to relieve your urgent need."

"You can't solve this!" Wu Lixin shouted.

Zhou Zhifu was taken aback, feeling somewhat displeased - Cui Pu, a county magistrate, could solve things that even the dignified magistrate could not solve?

Then he heard Wu Lixin gritted his teeth and said: "I knew that what he said that day was intended for me. This man is so shameless that he promised to repair the roads for all towns in Tianchang County. As a result, now, The road was only half built, he ran away, and now all the Lizheng Lixus down below are asking me for money!"

Zhou Zhifu immediately understood.

In the last year, Cui Pu promised to build roads in Tianchang County. This move was reported to the sage by Zuo Zhifu as a major event, and the sage praised it.When they heard about it at the time, they laughed at this kid severely - it is good to have ideals and drive, but it is the first time they have seen such a thing of building roads for the towns below at their own expense!The son-in-law of the richest man in Chang'an is really worthy of his position. Since they got married, how much money has been spent by this young couple!
His official career was paved with a lot of money!
However, he didn't realize it until now - Cui Pu is so cunning!

The matter of road construction has already been decided, and he has also paid a certain amount of money, and he has gained both benefits and reputation.However, only half of the work at hand was done, and the rest of the mess was left to the people who took over!Moreover, since he was able to repair half of the roads before, wouldn't Wu Lixin be able to repair them after the new man?
If he can't fix it well, it means that Wu Lixin is incompetent, and his not-so-high status in the eyes of the people in Tianchang County will drop down a notch.And even if he spent money to fix it, it was only what he should do, and his status would not be raised much.

Moreover, the most important thing is - road construction is so expensive, where did Wu Lixin spend so much money?
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhifu realized that he really knew Cui Pu.

In just three short years, this person has learned to build a ladder for himself while digging holes for others!

This kid is so ruthless!If you don't suppress him severely now, then if you gain power for him in the future, it will be great!
