Humane Yongchang

Chapter 30 Gu Yu
When Chen Sheng returned home wet, Zhao Qing was very displeased.

She dragged Chen Sheng into the hall quickly, while swiftly taking off his wet clothes, she scolded Chen Hu, who escorted Chen Sheng home, with a straight face: "Concubine, please feel free to hand over the big man to the second uncle, the second uncle is like this. Take care of my boss?"

Chen Hu blushed, and smiled shyly: "I didn't expect it to rain today. I was negligent. Mother Qing, don't blame me."

Zhao Qing's face was sullen, and he didn't even look at him.

Seeing this, Chen Sheng not only didn't help smooth things out, but also fanned the flames and said: "That's right, this old man is still tricking me into drinking at Youyu Restaurant this morning. !"

Chen Hu's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Chen Sheng in disbelief: "Little brat, are you playing yin?
"Is that so? It's still my boss who knows how to measure up!"

Zhao Qing smiled and held a sweat towel, wiping the rain on his head like a dog's head, and finally turned to look at Chen Hu, and the rain turned from fine to rain in an instant: "Second Uncle, the money in the family is tight this month, and I can only provide it to Da Lang. Meat is good for your body, your portion... is gone!"

Great lady style!

Chen Hu looked at Zhao Qing in disbelief, then looked at Chen Sheng again, raised his left hand tremblingly and pointed at the young couple, choked for a while, and said, "Little brat, you are not so bullying. people!"

The old guards in the family bully us, we will endure it, even your little brat bullies us like this... These days, there is no way to live!

Zhao Qing stepped forward and put his arms on his hips to protect Chen Sheng behind him like a chicken: "Could it be reasonable for the second uncle to coax my eldest brother into drinking? It's only been a few days since his body has recovered, does the second uncle not know?"

Chen Sheng hid behind Zhao Qing, and looked at Chen Hu with a smile until his teeth could not see his eyes.

Chen Hu pointed at Chen Sheng, his fingers like a rolling pin trembled and trembled again, and finally "ruthlessly" dropped the sentence "Little brat, you wait for me", and turned away angrily!

After the young couple sent him out with the same enemy, Zhao Qingcai laughed out loud, turned around and stretched out a forefinger to lightly tap Chen Sheng's forehead, and said angrily, "You, you, our second uncle, but An honest man, you can't bully him!"

Chen Sheng didn't argue, he smiled "hehe" and took Zhao Qing's arm: "Good eldest sister, what do you have for lunch? In the morning at Youyu Restaurant, I ate a bowl of minced meat porridge, and I was already hungry!"

Zhao Qing's big eyes curved into a crescent moon: "I have fried chicken with toon at noon, and the lamb's head meat sent by the second master Wang!"

"Toon?"

Chen Sheng showed a look of disgust. Toon and coriander were his lifelong enemies: "Is it okay not to eat toon, I don't like that weird smell!"

Zhao Qing: "Today is Grain Rain, it's a good time to eat toon, um, I had to eat some fish meat, I hope this year will have more than a good harvest, but unfortunately we haven't seen grass carp in the fish shop for a long time, listen. The fisherman said that the water volume of the Shahe River has dropped so much this year that it is impossible for boats to travel in the shallow waters, and the fish in the Huaihe River are no longer coming down..."

She rambled on with the clean clothes brought by the servant and put it on Chen Sheng.

However, Chen Sheng looked at the brightly lit courtyard outside the hall in a trance. It turned out that the early morning drizzle had stopped...

……

Nancheng, the Shouguan Temple of the county government.

The carved ivory chopstick gently picked up a piece of crystal clear fish, and threw it on the bright terrazzo floor.

A smooth, slender-waisted dog rushed over with its tail wagging, licked the fish into its belly in one bite, and then raised its head with anticipation, looking at the thin old man who was a few short ones.

The thin old man had white eyebrows, but his face was as hard as a middle-aged man. He gently buckled the ivory chopsticks on the chopstick rest, and waved to the slender-waisted dog with a gentle chuckle.

The slender-waisted dog immediately leaned over to the thin old man's feet and licked his broad palm.

The thin old man smiled, took the small cauldron holding the fish and put it at his feet, and let it feast on it.

At the right time, a yellow-robed official bowed his body lightly and stepped inside, holding a long bow to the end: "My lord, I have received a note from the chief farmer of Changyi Prefecture, saying that the rains will dry up this year, and there is a fear of drought and food shortages. The counties mobilize young people to cultivate young people, prepare grain and prepare for famine, and there should be no delay."

The thin old man's eyelids were drooping, and he stared at the slender-waisted dog Shiyuzuo beside his feet with a smile. He didn't even look at the clerk in the hall, and only spit out a sound of "um" from his breath.

"only!"

The yellow-robed clerk spoke in a long and respectful voice, slowly moving backwards while holding a long bow to the end, and exited the dense red hall lightly.

Just as the yellow-robed clerk left the lobby, another green-robed clerk walked in lightly, and said with a long sigh, "My lord, this morning, a market clerk carried the body of a newspaper officer in the North City Pavilion, and identified the Taiping Taoist for killing people in the street. Ting dispatched Ting Servant to arrest him, but unexpectedly, the Taiping Dao disciples violently murdered, took the road and fled, killing and injuring Twelve Ting Servants and [-] County Soldiers, and finally at the gate of the North City, Ming Zheng was punished, and none of them escaped!"

"Peace Road?"

The thin old man stroked the dry palm of the slender-waisted dog for a moment, and then slowly frowned, as if extremely unhappy, he whispered, "Is it so unscrupulous?"

The clerk in the hall did not dare to answer, but kept a gesture of bowing to the end, as steady as a statue.

I don't know how long it took before I heard the thin old man in the hall say indifferently: "Send orders to the counties to chase down the road of peace."

"only!"

The green-robed clerk, like the previous yellow-robed clerk, pouted his butt and slowly exited the red hall. It seemed that there was an invisible gravity in this empty hall, and he was so pressed that he couldn't even breathe.

Only a few words were uttered, but the thin old man seemed to be extremely tired. He slowly closed his turbid eyes with his hands in his arms, and was silent for a long time.

Only the two fingers tapped lightly on the square table with Xiezhi pattern can prove that he is not asleep.

Not long after, two rows of young and pretty maids walked in with lacquer plates in their hands and bowed their heads. They gently and fluently removed the food that was placed on the square table on a delicate vessel, and replaced them with green plums and delicate dishes. of dim sum.

From the beginning to the end, the thin old man did not open his eyes and glanced at these pretty maids, as if they were just objects, just like many precious furnishings in this strong and strict lobby.

And among the many pretty maids, none of them dared to make any noise to disturb the thin old man. It seemed that they knew that in the eyes of the thin old man, they were better than the dog lying at his feet...

for a long time.

In the empty lobby, the thin old man's low voice echoed: "Zhang Ping... Born to know, does the immortal touch his head and grant him longevity?"

"Even if you are true, is it too urgent?"

"This world is still the world of the Ji family..."
