Concubine Snake Married to: The Demon Empress Will Become a Devil

Chapter 22 No way, let's choose
Hearing what Fu Rong was saying, Chu Yu was still very happy, she smiled and said to Fu Rong: "That's right, people have their own ideals, so they can say what they think and do whatever they want, after all, a person's life is not long. , I can’t repay the debt of the previous life in the next life, right? How about this, I know you’re embarrassed to say so, then I’ll go and talk to dad, and let dad settle your matter first.”

Hearing this, Furong became anxious.Grabbing Madam Chu Yu's hand, she said excitedly, "Sister, what are you talking about, what I want to do most in my life is to stay by your side."

When Madam Chu Yu heard Fu Rong say this, her heart skipped a beat, this silly girl, it seems that if she doesn't go, this girl will stay by my side for the rest of her life, then her ideals are pure nonsense, no, this girl She's too young to ruin her way to realize her dream, but if she wants to be with her, will she also participate in the draft?
Chu Yu was thinking, Fu Rong lowered her head pitifully, fearing that she would make her sister unhappy by saying one more word, so she made a mournful face and said nothing, Chu Yu thought for a while, and said slowly: "Fu Rong, don't worry Well, didn’t daddy say it, go back tomorrow and talk to the official, let’s see the situation first. Besides, I have to think about some things again, let’s talk about it when daddy comes back tomorrow.”

Furong saw that Chu Yu said that she couldn't understand what Chu Yu was thinking even after thinking about it, so she couldn't ask more questions, so she nodded her head to show that she understood.

After sitting by the lake for a while, Mrs. Chu Yu felt a little sleepy, and she really didn't know what to do, so she decided to go back to sleep and wait until tomorrow to see the situation.So he stepped forward to pull up Furong and walked out of the garden.Fu Rong was afraid that Madam Chu Yu would be unhappy, so she didn't dare to say a word, she quietly walked beside Madam Chu Yu, walked out of the garden, and went back to the house to sleep.

Ms. Chu Yu could be regarded as a prime minister who was able to punt a boat in her stomach, and she slept soundly that night.But it was pitiful for Fu Rong, who basically didn't sleep, and only closed her eyes to rest for a while when the sky was getting bright.

In the early morning, both Master Chu and Madam Chu got up very early, probably because they were bothered by the draft and couldn't sleep well.Master Chu didn't even bother to eat breakfast, he tidied up hastily, and was in a hurry to get ready to go out, and went to reason with the county magistrate.

As soon as Master Chu reached the door, he was stopped by his wife.Master Chu stopped and looked back at his wife who had rushed over, holding a box in his hand.When Madam approached, Master Chu asked impatiently: "What's the matter, do you still want to go with me?"

Mrs. Chu didn't answer, she just stuffed the things in Master Chu's hands directly, and said: "You old man, why are you still so stubborn, no matter how you say it, we are begging for help, you just go empty-handed, man Can I give you a good face?"

Master Chu straightened his neck and said, "What are you giving? If you don't, I won't believe it. This is a bright future. This daughter belongs to my Zhao family. If I don't agree, can I still snatch it?"

As he said that, he stuffed the things back to his wife, and went out angrily.

This master Chu also wanted to take an examination for an official job. After all, he is a well-known doctor. It would be great to be admitted to the Imperial Hospital, but this is his temper.

Back then, there was a guy who was not as good as him in medical skills to compete with him, but he was very tactful and knew the truth that money can make ghosts go round.Under the heavy ceremony, he easily defeated Master Chu.

It's not that Mr. Chu can't afford money. At that time, Mr. Chu was already well-known. In addition, the medicinal materials in the pharmacy were of good quality, and his own medical skills were superb. The family savings were still quite objective.But Master Chu is stubborn, he just doesn't want to give gifts, saying yes, in this prosperous age of Zhenguan, how can he still do those things of giving and accepting bribes?

In this way, after all, I failed to have a half-time official position, and finally became discouraged by the officialdom, and decided not to deal with officials in this life, completely cut off the idea of ​​being an official, and steadily managed pharmacies and medical clinics.It's not bad, it's done impressively.But this time there was really no other way, so I had to bite the bullet and go.

Master Chu came to the yamen with his servants, stepped forward and said to the yamen servant at the door: "Please trouble me, let me pass it on for you, the villain Chu Bingde, I want to meet you." Although Master Chu doesn't like officials, he is still a scholar , this etiquette is still indispensable.

The yamen servant saw that Master Chu was not badly dressed, but he just bowed and didn't show any respect to the door, so he couldn't help but look ugly.He hugged his chest with one hand, pinched his chin with the other, and kept rubbing his fingers together, signaling to Master Chu.

Although Master Chu was stubborn, he was not stupid. Seeing the yamen servant's posture, he couldn't help but feel angry, and said in a low voice: "The dog fights against others." After speaking, he turned and walked towards Mingyuan Drum, picked up the drum hammer and hit it down.

When the yamen servant saw this posture, his legs were so frightened. What is this for? Don’t you just want to earn some change? Although the master knows it, but in front of so many people, the master will still put on a show. It seems that this ass It is going to suffer.Thinking about it, he hurried forward to stop Master Chu and said, "Master Chu, what are you doing? Didn't you let me pass it on? I'll go right away, right away."

Hearing that the yamen servant said that he was going to communicate, Master Chu didn't intend to continue making trouble. After all, he came to find someone to do something. It's not good to be too stiff, so he put down the drumstick.

Seeing Master Chu put down the drumstick, the yamen servant also relaxed most of his heart, and hurried in to communicate.Originally, the county master also heard the sound of drums, and was about to come out to have a look, when he saw the yamen servant in front of the door running over out of breath, and hurriedly said: "Master, master, Master Chu is here."

"Which Mr. Chu, why are you panicking, speak clearly." The county master couldn't help feeling a little impatient, who is this, with such a big spectrum, it's fine to be disrespectful when you come to see me, and you still make such a big noise, Can't help feeling angry.

The yamen servant breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "It's Chu Bingde who opened a medical center in Xicheng. Master Chu came to see you without saying anything. He thought he was from a rich family, and the younger ones wanted to get some money for drinks, but who would have known that Master Chu , Seeing the little ones rubbing their fingers and saying that the little ones are being arrogant, they ran to beat the grievance drum."

After hearing this, the county magistrate slapped the yamen servant on the face fiercely, and said fiercely: "You greedy guy, get out, invite Master Chu into the front hall, and say that I am waiting for him in the front hall .”

The yamen servant covered his face with one hand, bowed his waist and said yes repeatedly, then hurriedly withdrew, and said to Master Chu, "Master Chu, my master invites you to the front hall, the master is already waiting for you in the front hall."

Seeing the yamen servant's face, Master Chu became furious, snorted and went in with the servants around him.

At this time, the county magistrate was sitting on the chair drinking tea, and thought in his heart: Chu Bingde must have come for the draft, this stubborn old guy, let’s see what he has to say first, if you want to go, then Just take his daughter over and hold it in his own hands, afraid that he won't give you money?If you say you don’t want to go, hehe, let you go bankrupt first, and then send his daughter and that little maid up, and you can still get a reward, hehe.

The county magistrate was having a sweet dream, and Master Chu walked in with his servants.The county magistrate was sitting on the grand teacher's chair, with a fat and oily face, making Master Chu angry when he saw it, but there was nothing he could do.

The magistrate put down the teacup in his hand, looked sideways at Master Chu and said, "Sit down." Then he stopped talking and waited for Master Chu to speak.

Master Chu came and sat down on the chair next to him, and said: "Yesterday, when the villain came home, I heard from my wife that the master went to the mansion yesterday, and I wanted to ask about the matter of letting the little girl go to the draft. Little, I'm not sensible, let's see if I can get another person to go?"

"Then what about your daughter's maid, that little girl is also a beauty." The county master squinted his eyes and said.

Master Chu heard the words and continued: "The county master doesn't know something, that girl has been adopted by me as a foster daughter, I came here today just to talk to the master, see if I can choose another person, or wait a few years before talking, These two girls are too young."

When the county lord heard what lord Chu said about the adoptive daughter, his eyes lit up, and he said in his heart, why don't you pay more for these two daughters, buy them safe.

The county master looked at Master Chu with a smile and said, "Master Chu's business is doing well today, you should have a lot of savings. You see, you are also a big family in our city, so you should make some contributions to the county. See Look, my county government office is almost leaking, is Master Chu going to set an example for other big households in our county, take the lead in donating some money, and help the county repair this government office?"

When Master Chu heard this, he was so angry, this is too shameless, your county government is almost covered with gold, and it will leak rain?Need to fix it?Isn't this obviously asking for money? Is this still a parent official?
Master Chu slapped the table angrily, stood up and said: "You are talking nonsense, don't you just want money, tell you, do you want money, don't have this dream."

How could the county master have been so angry, he jumped up from the grand teacher's chair, pointed at Master Chu with his hips on his hips and shouted: "Bold, how dare you commit the following offense? I think you are tired of life. Let me tell you, your daughter and your adopted daughter are going to make an appointment." .Humph"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and asked the servant to send Master Chu away.Master Chu blew on his beard angrily, and the county master also turned pale with anger.Seeing Master Chu left, he thought about it again, it's broken, how can he get money now, hey, look at the bad temper of this prodigal.

Master Chu returned to the mansion with a dark face. As soon as he entered the door, his wife greeted him. Seeing that the master's expression was not good, he knew in his heart that something must have been done wrong.So he didn't dare to talk too much, followed Master Chu into the study room, closed the door, and saw Master Chu sitting at the table with his eyes closed and angry.

Mrs. Chu came over, poured a cup of tea, put it in front of Master Chu, and asked softly: "How is it, Master, what's the matter, it looks bad on your face."

"Don't mention it, that corrupt official, as soon as I went to tell him about the selection of Yumao and Furong, he immediately told me that he wanted me to pay for the repair of his yamen, what a joke, his yamen is almost inlaid with gold , Doesn’t this clearly ask for money? I was so angry that I slapped the table and scolded him.” Master Chu said to his wife while sipping tea.

When Mrs. Chu heard this, she didn't know well, and hurriedly asked: "Then what did the county master say about Yu Yu and Furong?"

When Master Chu heard this, he put down the teacup in his hand, sighed and said, "Don't mention it, that corrupt official jumped up when I scolded him, pointing at me and shouting that Madam Yu and Furong are going to decide the draft."

After finishing speaking, Master Chu lowered his head and sighed. Madam knew the master's temper well and did not blame him.He patted Master Chu's back for fear, and comforted him: "Okay, master, don't be angry anymore, the incident has already happened, let's ask Madam Yu and Furong what they mean later, if they want to go, go, if they don't want Go, let the two of them go to Furong's hometown, live with Furong's parents for a while, and come back after this period is over."

Master Chu nodded after hearing Madam's words, and said softly: "This is the only way to do it now."
