Great Lawyer

Chapter 269 A Thousand Miles Away (Part [-])

Ma Yuniang has been tanned for two days, but her pale face began to look shiny. She was sitting on a big rock mending clothes, and Guixiang passed by and handed her a piece of melon, "Miss Ma, eat a piece, it's sweet." gone."

"There are melons at the end of March?" Ma Yuniang put away her clothes and took them, took a bite and nodded, "It's really sweet."

Guixiang has gained a lot of weight, and she is dark and strong. She laughed and said, "This is the solution that Brother Silver Hand came up with. He dug a hole and covered it with a layer of oil paper. In winter we still There are vegetables to eat."

"You guys are really smart." Ma Yuniang smiled and said, "I see you've been busy all morning, so take a break."

Gui Xiang shook her head, "I'm not tired. I feel uncomfortable when I rest. Madam Ma, you don't know that although my work was not so heavy before, I kept reminding me of my fears all day long. But I fell asleep on the bed, which was very solid."

"You say that, I think so too." Ma Yuniang chuckled, "Is it because it's in the mountains, I fell asleep when I went to bed, and I haven't slept as deeply as I have slept in the past two days for so many years."

Gui Xiang nodded, "There are so many people, so many people are not afraid of anything, and they can sleep well when their hearts are at ease."

Ma Yuniang smiled and nodded.

"Sister Guixiang, I'm going to fetch water. There's a fire on the stove, please take a look." Jin Xiu shouted to this side.

Guixiang agreed and went to the kitchen.

Ma Yuniang continued to do needlework, looking up at the people working in the mine, and couldn't help laughing.

"Brother Quan, Brother Quan." Several young people surrounded Liu Daquan, "You smell, the clothes on my body are all fragrant."

Liu Daquan kicked, "Hurry up and carry the rocks. My husband said, let us work hard, and we can move into our new home by the end of the year."

"Sure!" Everyone was noisy, more energetic than before, Liu Daquan warned: "Don't think about it, if you scare everyone away, we won't even have food, let alone think about clothes. gone."

Everyone understands, and nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, everyone has a sense of proportion."

"Anyway, here's what I said. If anyone does something stupid, I'll just dig a hole and bury him." Liu Daquan said.

I know it's not a joke, so everyone should be.

"Drink water." Jin Yin and Aunt Jiang carried the big bucket of tea and took out the bowls in the basket, "Come over and drink some water before doing work."

Everyone was embarrassed to look at them directly, so they all went forward to drink tea shyly, bowed their heads to thank them, and then went back to work.

King Gui sat on the opposite side of the table solemnly, and Chen Lang was dialing the abacus. He said in a deep voice, "Digital Sanyuan Jidi, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, actually worked as a bookkeeper?"

"My lord, don't mention the past, I'm just Chen Lang now." Chen Lang cupped his hands.

King Gui said: "Your family doesn't want it anymore?"

"My sons and daughters are married, both parents and wife are dead, there is nothing I need to worry about." Chen Lang said: "I also ask the prince to help keep the mouth shut."

King Gui said: "You don't want to be discovered, why did you write the memorial yourself?"

He knew Chen Lang's notes.

"It's just to say hello. The prince is in Shaoyang, and it's not a long-term solution for me to avoid it." Chen Lang said.

King Gui snorted and knocked on the table, "It's okay if you want me to keep it a secret, but you have to promise me a condition."

"My lord, Mr. Chen has nothing." Chen Lang said.

King Gui pointed to his brain, "It's fine if you have this. When you get back from here, you go to the yamen for two hours a day to help the king."

"My lord, I never let it go, I don't know about the county government." Chen Lang said.

King Gui said, "I'll give you a few days to think about it!"

"Since the prince doesn't dislike it, that's the only way to go." Chen Lang sighed.

He was threatened by King Gui and wanted to tell Du Jiuyan.

"Du Jiuyan, you can find a way to explain it yourself." King Gui said and went out.

Chen Lang laughed, Du Jiuyan didn't need to explain at all, she is such a smart person, if you don't ask, you just respect her, she is like a mirror in her heart, and she can't hide anything from her.

"Sir," Silver Hand ran in and said with a smile, "Brother Lame caught a deer in the mountains when he came, and the deer meat can be roasted tonight."

Chen Lang looked at him with a smile, and said, "It's troublesome to clean up, do you want me to help?"

"No need. Lady Tao and Sister Jinxiu will clean up, saying that we can just wait and eat." Yinshou laughed and ran out like a gust of wind.

Chen Lang laughed, a group of men let a few women in, the atmosphere was completely different, the whole Yanshan became orderly, Ma Yuniang and Gui Xiang arranged everything in an orderly manner, when to drink water and when to eat time to rest...

It is clearer than those men who have been here for several years.

Women are really amazing, as long as they are given room to play, the surprises they give back are really dizzying.

……

In Kunning Palace, the Queen Mother woke up from her afternoon nap, and Nanny Qian was helping her to wash up. The Queen Mother pointed to a few silver threads in the black hair, "Quickly, pull them out."

"Okay, okay." Qian Momo pulled it out carefully, and said with a smile, "Just two, don't be afraid."

The queen mother sighed: "Ai's family is still old, but that little bastard is still fooling around outside, don't come back and live a good life."

"Your Majesty, as long as the prince is happy, you can let him play. Otherwise, what do you want him to do, is it really impossible to let him enter the court and become an official?" Qian Momo said with a smile.

The queen mother frowned and said: "Then you have to have it first before going to play... Speaking of which, how is he doing in Shaoyang recently, how is the county magistrate?"

"The maidservant is about to tell you. Today, the Ministry of Punishment received the official document from Shaoyang. It said two things in total. The first one is that a murder case was investigated by the prince himself. I heard that he even went to murder At the scene, and Du Lianshi pushed it out bit by bit, and caught the murderer himself."

The queen mother smiled, "What will he do, it must be Du Jiuyan who did it, let him follow behind to make trouble."

"Our lord is very smart. He will definitely be able to do this kind of thing well." Qian Momo said: "Besides, he tried the case, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice didn't say that the sentence was bad, so there is no problem."

"The prince is not a student from the imperial examination. If he can straighten out the case and handle the matter in accordance with the law, it will be extremely difficult."

"So, don't worry, the lord is very powerful, he's not messing around at all." Qian Momo said proudly.

The queen mother gave her a blank look, "What's wrong with him in your eyes?"

Qian Momo laughed again, "That's the prince, that's really good."

"Didn't you say there is one more thing, what is it?" asked the Queen Mother.

Nanny Qian mentioned the matter of building the dam, "Water conservancy has always been a major issue. The prince has only been a county magistrate for a month, and he has thought of this. The memorial is also very well written. I heard that it was sent to the Holy Master today."

"This is not easy." The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "He can think of doing a practical thing, and he has indeed improved."

Qian Momo also nodded, and was about to speak when Eldest Aunt Gong came in to report, "Mother, the Holy Spirit is here."

"It's probably for the King Gui." The Queen Mother frowned again, "Tell me, what kind of title is this. How can anyone get such a title for themselves?"

Qian Momo smiled and said, "It's a foregone conclusion, so don't hold it against you."

The queen mother went outside, and Zhao Yu was already there, so she handed the notebook to her, "Look, queen mother, Bao Qinglai's memorabilia."

The Empress Dowager and Qian Momo looked at each other, revealing such expressions.The more she took the memorial, the more she looked at it, and her smile grew wider, and she said to Zhao Yu, "This memorial is well written, so it must not have been written by him."

"Anyway, I have learned it well." Zhao Yu laughed, "At the beginning, I pestered me to become a county magistrate, and said that I would understand the people's sentiments, and promised a one-year period. Only then did I agree. I didn't expect him to really do something. thing."

"The case was handled well, fast, accurate and stable. I cooperated very well with Du Jiuyan."

"The empress mother is right. People need good companions, so that they can grow and improve. You can see that he and Du Jiuyan have only been together for a few months, and they have changed their old appearance." Zhao Yu said.

He promised King Gui because he was tortured to no avail.He also listened to An Guogong's persuasion, saying that it would be better for him to go to Shaoyang to be the county magistrate than to go to Guangxi to raise the flag and rebel.

Now it is really true that there has been progress so quickly, and I know that the water conservancy will be cleaned up before the rainy season.

"However, this money is too much, and the people in the court will not give it." The queen mother said.

Zhao Yu nodded, "Shaoyang can't give so much money. But the local prefectures and counties ask for money, and it's the same. After the lion opens his mouth, he will negotiate the price back and forth. In the end, a [-]% discount will do."

"40 taels, it's okay." The queen mother nodded and said, "It's rare for him to want to do something, so don't dampen his enthusiasm."

Zhao Yu responded, "Queen, why don't you write a letter to Du Jiuyan and ask her secretly?"

"Alright, Ai's family just wants to write a letter to Xiao Luobo." The Queen Mother became interested as she spoke, and let Mammy Qian grind it out.

Halfway through writing the letter, the Empress Dowager said: "Ai's family hasn't been out of the palace for more than ten years, and I really want to go outside to have a look."

"Didn't the servants go to the City God's Temple this year during the Lantern Festival?" Qian Momo said with a smile, "However, the servants have never been out of the capital in this life, and they don't know what it's like outside."

The queen mother also regretted, "When I was a child, about seven or eight years old, I went to Baoding once with my father. You didn't go that time?"

"No, the slave girl seems to have fallen on a tree and has been lying on the bed for three months," Qianmo said.

The Queen Mother remembered, and laughed, "Picking pomegranates, right? You are greedy, so you must eat."

"No way, Ma'am, you want to eat it. And it's not a pomegranate, it's a persimmon!" Qian Momo said, "Didn't that tree be cut down when you entered the palace, a persimmon tree."

The queen mother froze for a moment, nodded and said: "The Ai family remembered it, and even cried a lot about it, saying not to enter the palace."

"At that time, there was a rumor that there was a ghost in Fengwu Palace. The first queen, no, the soul of the first empress dowager walked in Fengwu Palace, so you refused to live in Fengwu Palace. Once you came in, you lived in Kunning Palace and refused Let's go." Thinking of the past, Qian Momo felt as if it was a lifetime away.

"Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, both the Holy One and the prince have grown so big."

The queen mother nodded, and said with a bitter face, "But Ai's family has only one grandson, so you say it's irritating or not!"

"Your Majesty, you came back again after talking about it." Qian Momo laughed, "Don't just send letters, give Xiaoluo a little reward. Didn't the prince say that Xiaoluo loves money when you came back last time, so you just give money Come on, nothing else is needed."

The Queen Mother nodded, "Reward him... 5000 taels. Is this money enough for him to be happy for a while?"

"Sure." Qian Momo said.

Zhao Yu said goodbye, Xue Yin came over to greet him, and said with a smile, "My lord, is the Empress Dowager very happy?"

"Yeah." Zhao Yu couldn't help laughing, "It seems that it would be beneficial for him to go to Shaoyang."

Xue Yin nodded, "My lord has not been to Zhenyuan or Guangxi this time."

"He works with a lot of energy, and when the energy passes, he will pick up the pick, let him do it, as long as he is happy." Zhao Yu said.

Xue Yin answered with a smile, "The Holy Majesty is really kind to the prince."

"The Empress Dowager wants to send a letter to Shaoyang, so you pack up a few things you used to play with when you were a child and bring them there, just say... just say you send it, and give it to Du Jiuyan's son to play with."

Xue Yin said: "I'm going to ask the Empress about this matter, and the slaves will go and ask in the afternoon."

"En." Zhao Yu didn't say any more, and went on to do things.

　I checked my daughter's words at night, I memorized them in front and forgot them in the back, and even plausibly said that it is normal for me to forget that I am not in my mother tongue. I was so angry that I had a headache.

　　It is really difficult for children to recite words...
