Zhe Jinchun

Chapter 172 Huguan City

Cheng Tingzhen clutched the paper tightly, and his heartbeat gradually accelerated.

The meaning of this letter is almost clear.

What is Nine Grades?

Huo Zhijian's official position is Zhongzheng in "Jiupin" County.

What is a ten-year peace of mind?

The law of the Chen State stipulates that any official below the seventh rank who collects official albums will be dismissed on the spot and can be reused after ten years.

Is this what people often say is sending carbon in the snow?

When the Cheng family was overwhelmed by the Huo and He surnames and almost breathless, someone sent such a big gift that the Cheng family was able to pry away a big rock?
Cheng Tingzhen's breathing became a little unsteady, and the hand holding the letter trembled.

Huo Zhijian was indeed planning to send his family north to avoid the war, and the departure date was within a few days, and Cheng Tingzhen was with him at the official office, so there was no need to inquire about the news, he knew it naturally.

Cheng Tingzhen also knew that in order to show his filial piety, Huo Zhijian had to escort his elders for a few days before returning to Pingcheng, just like Cheng Tingzhen did at this moment.

"Pingcheng is empty..." He muttered to himself, his eyes gradually glowing.

Huo Zhijian took his guards to send his family away, and there were few guards in the Pingcheng house, isn't it the so-called "empty"?

Cheng Tingzhen couldn't believe that his luck would be so good.

With this volume of things, why worry about Huo Zhijian?At that time, as long as he finds a good opportunity to reveal the matter in public, Huo Zhijian can only go back to his hometown and farm for ten years.

At that moment, Cheng Tingzhen almost wanted to laugh out loud.

However, he quickly held back his smile, and only looked back and forth at the letter, the flames in his eyes burning brighter and hotter.

Mr. Liu also walked over at this time, staring at the letter in his hand.

After a while, Cheng Tingzhen heard the sound of his breathing.

Neither of them spoke, they just looked at the letter solemnly.

The night wind seemed to be a little stronger, blowing the paper on the window "crashing", and disturbing the wind bells at the corners of the eaves, and the humming continued.

This quiet inn house seems to have become noisy at this moment, just like the mood of the two people in this room at the moment, ups and downs in the warm wind of this spring night, without a fixed place...

**********************************
There are a few clouds floating on the blue sky, the sun is warm, and there is an unknown flower fragrance in the wind.

With a sound of "swish", a baby swallow flew over the treetops, its delicate tail feathers cut half of the car window, and disappeared in an instant.

"Oh, it flew away." Qin Yanrou sighed regretfully from beside her, and the little girl was clasping Qin Su's skirt with one hand.

Qin Su turned his eyes away, smiled at her, and backed away from the car window.

Qin Yanrou was still leaning in front of the car window, looking out curiously, unaware of the oppressive atmosphere in the car.

The theft of the Yangzhong station left a shadow on the Qin family.

Since that night, the courtyard of the Qin Mansion has changed. Every night when staying, Mrs. Tai will arrange for the elders to live with the younger generation, and the number of guards has also increased.

The Qin family did not dare to discuss too much about what happened in the Yangzhong station.

Mrs. Tai issued a strict order not to spread rumors in private, let alone inquire about news.With this strict order in place, Qin Su's next days will be a bit boring.

Even if Jinxiu was very courageous, she would not dare to disobey Madam Tai's orders, so she would not go outside to inquire about the news, let alone discuss this matter with Qin Su.

Without this well-informed maid passing on the message, Qin Su's remaining fun is to observe the expressions of Qin Yanzhao and the other lords.

Naturally, Qin Yanzhao's face is more interesting in comparison.

After leaving Yangzhong Inn, for several days, Qin Yanzhao's face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, his eye sockets were covered with blue shadows, his cheeks were thin, and his face was bleak.

Qin Su can be sure that when he reported the lost and found list to the official office, he must not have dared to say anything about the album.

The uglier Qin Yanzhao's face was, the happier Qin Su felt.

She finally got rid of a major scourge, she was very relaxed, and she passed the album to Cheng Tingzhen, so that he had a sharp weapon to defeat that Huo Zhongzheng, presumably this Lang Zhongling was also very happy.

With the Cheng family standing in front of him, even if this trick is revealed, Huo Zhijian will never suspect that the Qin family is up to it.After all, he has only done a small favor to the Qin family, and the whole Qin family still remembers his kindness very much.

Of course, in Qin Su's view, Huo Zhijian's help is really abominable.

She moved her eyes away from the scrolls spread out on her lap, and glanced at Yu's mother and daughter who were drinking tea.

After getting along day and night these days, Qin Su and Qin Yanya gradually became acquainted, and their relationship was closer than before.Yu Shi was originally a very easy-going person, and treated Qin Su and Qin Yanrou quite generously, and everyone got along quite harmoniously.

Qin Su frowned at the page of the book, and suddenly heard Qin Yanrou's immature voice: "Ah, it seems that we are about to enter the city." After speaking, she turned to Yu Shi, opened her big watery eyes, and tilted her head Question: "Auntie, come and tell Ah Rou, what city is up ahead?"

Mrs. Yu smiled slightly when she heard the words, and didn't look out, but said softly: "The pot should be closed."

Qin Su's downcast eyes flickered, but his eyes still fell on the paper.

"So this is Huguan." Qin Yanya also went to the window as she brushed a corner of her sleeve beside her.

"Xiaoya, don't look any further, we are about to enter the city." Madam Yu said softly, and then told the magpies beside her: "Get the fence ready, and put down the curtains."

Magpie and Apu both agreed and got busy.

There are fewer people and more cars on the official road, so people will not expect to be looked at.Now that they are about to enter the city, the rules of ladies and gentlemen still need to be observed.

When Qin Yanya heard the words, she took Qin Yanrou and retreated.

The carriage swayed for about tea time, and then saw a shadow covering the outside of the carriage, and after another moment, the shadow faded, and the window was bright again in spring.

Qin Su knew that they had already entered the Huguan city gate.

The brick kiln factory opened by the Qin family is in the outskirts of the city.In the previous life, they lived in Huguan City for two days, and it is the same in this life.

Just yesterday morning, when Xu Shi was concerned about the property of the Qin family, Mrs. Tai suddenly proposed to go to Huguan Kiln to take a look with her own eyes, and asked Zhong Jingren to send a message to Zhong Jingren immediately.But Zhong Jingren didn't refuse, and readily agreed.

These were all inquired by Jinxiu, Qin Su knew about it a long time ago, but still pretended not to know, and asked a few words along with her words, Jinxiu pulled out a sentence, which cleared up Qin Su's confusion.

It turned out that the reason why Zhong Jingren deserved to be refreshed was because most of the people employed by the Huguan Kiln were tenants from the vicinity, and they worked here during the slack season, and it coincided with spring plowing, and most of these people had gone back to sow seeds. There were a few stewards left, but it was rare that there were few idle people, so Zhong Jingren deserved it.

In the previous life, the day after everyone arrived in Houguan City, Mrs. Tai led the ladies, the gentleman and the girls to see the kiln factory.
