Chapter 383 Don't Deceive Yourself Anymore

Of course, what happened at Wei's Restaurant cannot escape the eyes and ears of Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao.

Now Cui Pu is describing the situation to Mu Jiaojiao vividly, and the siblings actually walk in the door to admit their mistake!
The couple were shocked.

It must be known that their daughter is very shrewd.Even if it doesn't make sense, she will still be able to tell the truth, and if she is caught with a real reason, she can act like a baby and sell the matter to the point of perfunctory.

But take the initiative to apologize and admit mistakes like today?That is simply impossible.

Cui Pu couldn't help but stepped forward to touch his daughter's forehead: "Aren't you sick?"

The eldest lady shook her head, and carefully looked at Mu Jiaojiao's side: "Aniang, I was wrong."

Mr. Dalang continued to hold his head high, and said word by word: "I was wrong."

Those eyes are naturally staring at Mu Jiaojiao again, as if wishing Mu Jiaojiao could scold him severely.Look at that little face, there is no fear at all, instead it is full of joy and anticipation!

What about this kid?

"Of course you are wrong! Now that you know you are wrong, you should kneel down!" Cui Pu shouted angrily, and quickly looked at Mu Jiaojiao.

Mu Jiaojiao looked at the first pair of children indifferently: "Since you know that you have done something wrong, why are you still kneeling here?"

The big lady shook her body. "Auntie..."

"Huh?" Mu Jiaojiao snorted coldly.

The eldest lady quickly bowed her head: "Yes, we will go to Nanny Lu to receive the punishment."

Then he took Brother's hand, and the two went out dejectedly.

Cui Pu felt distressed for a while.

Nanny Lu, that is the most capable person around Mrs. Cui.She has a majestic face, has never been married in her life, and her temper can be described as extremely rigid.Now the eldest lady did something wrong again and it fell into her hands...

Just thinking about it, Mu Jiaojiao suddenly turned to him, and Cui Pu immediately jumped up. "What do you see me doing?"

Mu Jiaojiao sneered: "If it weren't for these two children who made a fuss outside today, how long are you going to hide it from me? It's true that they were at fault for what happened today, but the bigger fault is on you! You are the chief culprit who harbors and hides!"

Cui Pu shook his body, and laughed quickly: "Look at what you said! How can it be so serious? Don't you know these two children? Now we are so strict, they dare not mess around. Just like today , Didn't they show up? No matter how big the incident is, it has nothing to do with them, so don't worry!"

Mu Jiaojiao squinted at him. "You still pretend to be garlic for me?"

Cui Pu blinked. "Then what do you want to do?"

"Ask me this?" Mu Jiaojiao smiled softly.

Cui Pu immediately trembled, and hurriedly said: "My lady, I was wrong! It's okay if you want to beat me and scold me, but please stop laughing like that!"

"Then you can figure it out yourself!" Mu Jiaojiao said casually.

Cui Pu bit his lip, with a troubled expression on his face. "Isn't that good! I'm a magistrate anyway!"

Mu Jiaojiao laughed again.

"Okay, okay, I'm going to kneel now, I'm going to kneel now!" Cui Pu surrendered helplessly, and ordered to Xiao Si'er, "Why don't you hurry up and get me a washboard?"

Without saying a word, Xiao Sier sent the washboard that he had prepared earlier.

Cui Pu stared straight at it - I asked you to get it, and you really brought it for me!Can't you just say that you can't find it?
Xiao Si'er looked at him helplessly——Lang Jun, the person sitting here is a lady, and the person next to my pillow is Hongdou.If I dare to help you, these two people will not spare me later!In order to protect myself, I can only make you suffer more now!
Cui Pu gritted his teeth secretly, and had no choice but to resign himself to his fate and kneel in the corner with the washboard in hand, facing the wall and thinking about his past.

However, fortunately, Mu Jiaojiao knew that he was very busy as the magistrate, so he didn't make him kneel for an hour or two like before.After kneeling for a meal, she let him get up. "The rest will be replaced by a hundred typos. Take the time to write them and hand them over to me before dark tomorrow."

"Yes, I understand." Cui Pu nodded resignedly, and then limped out.

"Hey, how many are these father and son!" As soon as they left, Mu Jiaojiao held his forehead and let out a long breath, "By the way, how are Da Langjun and Da Niangzi now?"

"Nurse Lu is punishing them for reciting books. They can't sleep until they finish reciting two articles today. And after they finish reciting today, they have to get up early to practice calligraphy tomorrow morning. They have to write a hundred big characters in three days. .” Mung Dou hurriedly said.

The two articles are simple, but a hundred characters... these two dolls will cry to death in the next few days!
Mu Jiaojiao smiled lightly, suddenly felt that she punished Cui Pu too lightly?

As soon as Cui Pu got out of the yard, he quickly arrested Xiao Si'er.

"How's it going over there?"

Xiao Si'er was the roundworm in his stomach, and he immediately replied after hearing the words: "Old lady Cao came back on the front foot, and Mrs. Cao came back on the back foot. The two of them had a big fight, and it hasn't stopped yet! But this time, Cao The lady obviously doesn't intend to back down anymore, it seems that she should have the upper hand in the end result."

"Then you ask people to keep watching. When the final result comes out, let me know again—by ​​the way, don't forget to tell the big lady too. This is the result of her hard work, and she must know the outcome." OK."

The corner of Xiao Si'er's mouth twitched, but he reluctantly agreed.

The final result of the matter must be that Cao Shu overwhelmed Mrs. Cao.There's no other way, the King of Hejian has been involved now, and she has seen the true face of the King of Hejian with her own eyes!How could she endure the random pairings of Mrs. Cao?Since she can't be persuaded, then she can only suppress it with brute force!
In the days that followed, Mrs. Cao became a lot more honest.

As for the process of confrontation between the grandparents and grandson... because it was too violent, I will skip it for the time being, but after Cui Pu and his daughter listened to it, they were quite excited when writing big characters.

Two days later, people from Chang'an came.

"By God's blessing, the emperor ordered... a special reward of [-] pieces of Cui Pujuan, the magistrate of Yangzhou, and a hundred taels of gold as a reward. Feng Mu's Jiaojiao is a fifth-grade pleasant person, and [-] pieces of silk and a hundred taels of gold are rewarded..."

In a long list, all the people who reported Cui Pu were still rewarded.Of course, the two leaders, Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao, received the most generous rewards.

Moreover, Mu Jiaojiao now has an official imperial title!
"Congratulations to Governor Cui, congratulations to Mrs. Cui!" After reading the imperial decree, the eunuch who delivered the decree stepped forward and said cheerfully.

Cui Pu hurriedly stuffed a heavy purse into his hand: "Thank you, father-in-law, for coming all the way to Yangzhou to deliver the decree, please quickly serve tea in the main hall!"

"The matter is not over yet! It's not too late to go to tea after our family has conveyed the will of the saint." The eunuch smiled and took out another letter. This time it was not an imperial edict, but a letter from the saint.

Cui Pu didn't dare to be disrespectful, he quickly knelt down and took the handwriting with both hands respectfully.

This letter is addressed to him and Mu Jiaojiao.There are only a few words in it, and they once again highly praised their outstanding ability in the disaster relief work some time ago.Then, the sage made a request in the letter, saying that he specially asked a group of people to be drawn from the imperial hospital, and specially asked them to come to Yangzhou to learn how to fight the plague with Mu Jiaojiao!

If those people really want to know about this kind of thing, at worst, she can write a letter of belief and pass it over.Otherwise, it's okay to send an apprentice there!But now, they sent a group of people over without saying hello. What does this mean?
Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu exchanged glances, and they immediately decided that this matter was definitely done on purpose!

Just, who is it?

Although puzzled in their hearts, they still expressed their sincere welcome to the representatives from Tai Hospital.

In the evening of that day, Cui Pu held a banquet at the county government office for the people who came from Chang'an this time.

Cui Pu suddenly understood when he saw a person standing in the queue of the Supreme Hospital.

But Peng Zhang who was standing in the crowd smiled at him with an extremely humble attitude.

Cui Pu immediately gave him a smile back, his expression was still elegant and calm.

But only the two of them knew that just by looking at each other, their hearts had already been stirred up in layers of waves.

After dinner, Cui Pu returned to the backyard with an extremely ugly face.

Seeing this, Mu Jiaojiao asked, "Is your deadly enemy coming to Chang'an?"

"That's right, it's your fellow disciple." Cui Pu said disconsolately.

"It's him? Has he chased you all the way here?" Mu Jiaojiao's eyes flashed, but he immediately remembered something, "That's right, it's been the 27th year of Kaiyuan."

Next year, Gao Lishi should recommend Princess Shou to Tang Xuanzong.Then, Concubine Shouwang was about to become a monk, and Shouwang became a joke in Chang'an City and even the entire New Tang Dynasty.As a result, the family of the Wu family was completely devastated.

He has already taken all the benefits of the Wu family, and now it is time to take the first step to distance themselves from them, so that he can continue to pamper him with Concubine Yang in the future.

This man really took his time very well!

Moreover, Du took the initiative to enter the Imperial Hospital, and even volunteered to go to Yangzhou to learn from her how to deal with the plague... This person is clearly a drunkard.He was sending a signal—he couldn't wait any longer!
"If you have time, arrange for me to meet him!" Mu Jiaojiao said suddenly

Cui Pu's expression changed drastically. "no!"

"Now, I'm afraid I won't see you anymore." Mu Jiaojiao said with a smile, "Besides, don't you have a lot of doubts in your mind? Just listen to a few words between me and him, and you will know what's going on. "

Cui Pu's eyes turned cold, and he shook his head resolutely: "If I say no, then I can't! Since they are here to learn experience, there are many people in Yangzhou Mansion who can teach them. I just ask Imperial Physician Chang to contact them. You can't do it these days. Honestly, stay in the backyard and take care of the children for me, and you are not allowed to go anywhere!"

"Are you afraid?" Mu Jiaojiao asked in a low voice.

"Aren't you afraid? You are my wife, and I'm married to a matchmaker. Is it true? I know your birth date, hobbies and habits. What else do I not know? As for I have no interest in the matters of your master's school! So you don't need to meet that person again!" Cui Pu said loudly.

Before Mu Jiaojiao could speak again, he said again: "That's the deal! You must listen to me on this matter!"

After saying that, he turned around and strode away.

Mu Jiaojiao watched his figure drift away, and sighed weakly: "I'm afraid it's you who want to deceive yourself and others now!"
