Di daughter is easy to marry: the stunning princess

Chapter 139

It has to be said that Zhou Bohai's fate is good. Originally, his memorial full of loopholes could not cover up the fact of dereliction of duty, but now Daozong doesn't care about it at all.The case of the Shandong magistrate Zongzi forcibly robbing civilian girls disturbed the entire imperial court, like a turbulent hornet's nest.

It stands to reason that if there are not ten or twenty incidents of such things as robbery of civilian girls in the world, they are basically nothing.After all, those who dare to rob people are officials and dignitaries, and those who are robbed are ordinary people, whose arms cannot twist their thighs.It can only be said that the son of the prefect of Shandong was unlucky, he was fascinated by shit, and the one who robbed him was the descendant of Zhu Xi's direct branch who moved to Shandong, the legitimate daughter of the eight classics.Not only the woman's nanny and maid were beaten to death in the street.He also beat to death the father of the girl who came to visit the dignitary, and severely injured the younger brother.

Unexpectedly, this has stabbed a hornet's nest. Although the girl's father is poor, he is a teacher of Tengyun Academy. He has outstanding knowledge and is respected by the students.Hearing that he was beaten to death by the magistrate's yamen, the students of Tengyun Academy broke out immediately.The Zhu clan wanted to settle down and settle down, but they couldn't afford to lose face.The patriarch of the Zhu clan came to the door and asked the magistrate to give an explanation. It stands to reason that this is a step for the magistrate. If he pulls his son out and beats him and pays some money, the matter may be over.

It's a pity that the prefect of Shandong is a donated official and has always looked down on poor scholars. Not only did he not take the opportunity to step down, but he let the dog bite the head of the Zhu clan.

Now the situation is out of control, the dog bit the patriarch of the Zhu clan, not the sage Zhu Xi!Not only the students of Tengyun College, but also the entire Shandong students followed suit.In the end, they gathered in Jinan Prefecture and claimed that if the prefect was not severely punished, tens of thousands of students in Shandong would not take part in the imperial examination in the coming year.

It is no longer the business of a Shandong government when things get to this point.For a while, the imperial court was divided into two factions, one faction advocated agreeing to the request of the candidates, and appeasing the candidates was the top priority.A mere magistrate in Shandong is not worth mentioning, and ten thousand candidates are dismissed, but what is ruined is the national talent ceremony, and the country's destiny is wronged.

The other faction advocated severe punishment for the sons, and these scholars must not be allowed to coerce the court.Moreover, once they have complied with them, leaving a precedent and being followed by others, and public opinion is above the law, what is the court's face?
The two sides quarreled with each other, but no one paid any attention to Zhou Bohai's dereliction of duty.While Zhou Bohai called himself lucky, he didn't dare to be negligent, and put all his thoughts into his business every day, for fear that there would be another accident.As a result, the house in the government office became Jin Xi's world again.

The whole world knows that Shandong Juzi wants to cancel the exam, and Jin Xi naturally heard the news, and also knows that the one who was beaten to death was the eldest lady's cousin who didn't pass the fifth service, but she doesn't care at all, whether the exam or not It has nothing to do with her money.Da Furen's cousin was wronged or not, and she couldn't save her.

What she cares about now is how to deal with the hundreds of workers when the business of the quarry plummets as winter begins.

She discussed it with Qin Xiao, but this master didn't want to worry about it at all. He said "you can figure it out" and threw the matter on her head.Jin Xi stomped his feet angrily, but there was nothing he could do. The master really didn't care if he said he didn't care, he couldn't watch hundreds of workers just idle.No wages, no one will work for her next year, wages... just thinking about it hurts!

After pondering for a few days, Jin Xi really managed to figure out a way to have the best of both worlds.Let these workers repair the water-damaged streets and public facilities in Anyang City.The materials and wages will be paid by Jinxi in advance, and will be deducted from the tax of the quarry in the coming year.Of course, Master Tang must have come forward to tell Zhou Bohai about this kind of thing.

Zhou Bohai was worried that he couldn't win the hearts of Anyang Mansion, so he agreed immediately.He was so happy, naturally the stack of bank notes in Mr. Tang's arms would not be taken out, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky when he went out with a smile on his face. Could it be that it was raining red, and the magistrate did not pluck his hair?
Hong Yu didn't see it, but he saw dozens of guards in bright armor guarding the two carts going to the back office.

When Jin Xi heard that Zhou Xiyao was coming, he rushed out in men's clothes before he could change his clothes.After coming to Anyang for half a year, when I occasionally thought of the Zhou family in the capital, the only three people I thought of over and over again were Xi Xiyao, Xiyi and Jin Wen.

"Brother!" Seeing Zhou Xiyao looking at her with a smile from a distance, Jin Xi's eyes turned sour, and she rushed towards him with a cry.After all, people are social animals, and they have a longing for relatives from the bottom of their bones.After experiencing life and death, she almost cried on the spot when she first saw her relatives.

"Sixth Sister lost weight!" Zhou Xiyao was at a loss for what to do with Jinxi's extraordinary enthusiasm. He hugged Jinxi who was in his arms, his face turned purple.This... is this really good?
"Congratulations on the reunion of brothers and sisters Zhou! How is sister Xi doing recently?"

A gentle and familiar voice sounded in her ears, Jin Xi turned her head in a daze, and saw Zhao Tingxuan standing beside the jade tree facing the wind, she blinked her eyes hard twice, afraid that she was in a dream at this time.After a while, he stammered: "You... you called me... what?"

He called her sister Xi, not the previous Saturday girl!
Zhao Tingxuan turned his face slightly and coughed twice, pretending not to hear Jinxi's words, but a suspicious red cloud flashed across his face.This title has been hidden in his heart for a long time, and he has not found the most suitable opportunity to call it out after thinking for a long time. Today, seeing her galloping towards Zhou Xiyao like a bird, and pounced on Zhou Xiyao's arms, his heart was so sore that it seemed that he had poured half into it. Vinegar.Looking at Zhou Xiyao again, it was very unpleasant, wishing to go up and push his arm off Jin Xi's body, and then blurted out "Sister Xi".

The middle-aged man standing next to Zhao Tingxuan glanced at him lightly, his brows were slightly frowned, and there was some surprise in his eyes.Turning around, he looked at Jin Xi from head to toe, from toe to head, the surprise in his eyes became more and more serious, and gradually turned into solemnity.

Jin Xi didn't pay attention to her surroundings, she focused all her attention on Zhao Tingxuan, never dreaming that he would appear suddenly.

"Send someone to invite father back quickly, according to the envoy Mr. Zhao is here!" But Zhou Xiyao saw the man's expression, followed his gaze to look at Jinxi and Zhao Tingxuan, secretly excited.At first he wanted to let go of Jinxi, but suddenly changed his mind, showing his elder brother's kindness, hugged her in his arms, and put half a step away between her and Zhao Tingxuan.

Only then did Jin Xi see a handsome middle-aged man standing beside Zhao Tingxuan, and Zhao Tingxuan looked somewhat similar to him.After thinking for a while, and hearing Zhou Xiyao call him Mr. Zhao, Jinxi guessed that he was one of Zhao Tingxuan's four uncles.Seeing that he was wearing ordinary clothes and in the inner house, he went up to salute and called Uncle Zhao.

The middle-aged man was a little surprised, "You know me?"

In order to impress Zhao Tingxuan's family, Jin Xi secretly sorted out his emotions and replied dignifiedly: "My lord is rich and beautiful. I can't think of such a person except for the little girl in the old mansion. I see that you are slightly older than my father." Chief, he is also a minister in the same hall, so he took the liberty to call him uncle, and please don't blame me, Master Inspector!"

Anyone would be a little proud of being praised by the little girl's clear tongue, let alone a little girl with clear eyebrows and eyes.The inspector was no exception, he twitched his beard and laughed, and said to Zhou Bohai who hurried over from the door: "Brother Bohai is lucky to have such a clever and lovely daughter!"

"Brother Qingtai, thank you!" Zhou Bohai looked terrified, looking into the twelfth lunar month, it is not a good thing for the imperial court to send inspectors to patrol at this time!

"Quickly order the kitchen to prepare wine and dishes, and I'll take care of Brother Qingtai!" After ordering Jinxi, Zhou Bohai invited Zhao Qingtai into the main hall with a flattering face.

Jin Xi looked up at the sky, it was obviously too late to prepare the banquet, so he asked Zhao Tingxuan to find out Zhao Qingtai's diet, and then sent Zhou Ren to order two tables at Bihaijian, the largest restaurant in the city.

After thinking about it, he asked Zhou Ren to find Qin Xiao.During the Taizu period, the imperial envoys and inspectors were not permanent official positions, but were temporary patrols on behalf of heaven.Imperial envoys tend to be military officers, and procuratorial envoys are mostly civil servants.But in the hands of Daozong, there were not many imperial envoys, and the inspectors also became inspectors to assess the achievements of local officials.

Although the duties and powers of the two have nothing to do with each other, after all, they have not seen each other in recent days.The Zhao family is a close minister of the emperor, and this Zhao Qingtai is the future head of the Zhao family. It is better to know each other than strangers!
When Qin Xiao got the letter and rushed over, the noodles from Bihaijian had just arrived.

Jin Xi originally wanted to arrange Qin Xiao and Zhao Qingtai to sit at the same table, with Zhou Bohai as company.She and Xi Yao sat at another table with Zhao Tingxuan,
Unexpectedly, after Qin Xiao listened to Jin Xi's arrangement, and saw that Zhao Tingxuan was sitting firmly beside Jin Xi, his face turned dark at that moment, he turned around and left with a cold snort.Shocked, Jin Xi grabbed him, gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice, "Are you crazy? What are you making a fuss about? You won't even give me the face of the inspector?"

Qin Xiao glanced down at the little hand holding his arm, and looked at Jin Xi with an aggrieved expression, "I'm impatient to drink with the old man!"

"A dog bites Lu Dongbin, he doesn't know a good heart!" Jin Xi hated him so much that he really wanted to punch him. Which one is the old man, Zhao Qingtai or Zhou Bohai?This kind of entertainment on the scene is about building relationships, making friends, is it really a life-and-death affair?He planned an opportunity for him to inquire about the news of the capital, but he didn't want it!

Qin Xiao seemed to understand Jin Xi's scolding. He blinked his eyes a few times and suddenly smiled and said, "Zhao Qingtai didn't proclaim the decree, and he didn't worship the seal. How embarrassing that he had to give a big gift according to the rules when he saw me. Today we are drinking privately in the inner house. Just divide the table according to age!"

Jin Xi couldn't say no to him, so he had no choice but to go into the main hall and report to Zhou Bohai who was waiting for Qin Xiao to start the meeting. Zhou Bohai didn't dare to make his own claims, but just looked at Zhao Qingtai, for fear that Zhao Qingtai would think that Qin Xiao was crazy and rude, and take his anger out on him. .He can't afford to mess with either of these two great Buddhas!
Zhao Qingtai laughed, "It's just right, let them have fun for now, there are serious things to do tomorrow!"

Jin Xi also breathed a sigh of relief, and turned around to the flower hall, only to find that Qin Xiao had taken her seat just now.Just now I thought that Qin Xiao would take a seat in the main hall, and this table was regarded as private drinking in the inner house.So Zhou Xiyao took the main seat, she took the second seat, and Zhao Tingxuan took the guest seat.The two were right next to each other.

Now that Qin Xiao is taking her seat, where is she sitting?When Zhou Xiyao sat down, there was a whole table away from Zhao Tingxuan, and he couldn't even say a word...

Jin Xi glared at Qin Xiao with resentment in his eyes, hoping that he would return his seat to her with good luck.Unexpectedly, Qin Xiao pushed Zhou Xiyao, "Although you are an elder brother, you are a guest from afar, and your sister should take the main seat!"

Zhou Xiyao glanced at him, then glanced twice between Zhao Tingxuan and Jin Xi, unexpectedly got up to give up his seat, and kept telling Jin Xi to sit down.

Jin Xi has black lines all over her head, let her sit next to Qin Xiao?
what the hell is this……
