minister on skirt

Chapter 45
Before noon, the magistrate He hurried over and followed Tan Shao into the yamen with sweat on his face.

Cheng Xiao's arrogance to such an extent, no matter whether He is an accomplice or not, he cannot absolve himself of the blame.

At the moment when the relationship between the local officials and the military generals in the guard is delicate, the evidence is all in the hands of Nankang Wei, and it is a heavy blow to the Huzhou government office from top to bottom.

Immediately pick up the book and send it to the capital immediately, but Cheng Xiao's accident, it is also one of the top priorities to temporarily hire someone to act as the chief.

In addition, the case of Fang Tong had to be reported for review, so he was so busy that it was already early the next morning when Tan Shao ordered the Changying group to return to Huzhou.

The sky is full of clouds and the sun is rising, and the rising sun is slanting on the road ahead. The flowers and plants along the way are fragrant, which is very pleasant.

When Changying left, Du Jian didn't know where he was going, but saw Tong Qi, the guard who had appeared beside him, glance at the door, clearing his throat.

She didn't know which answer he said, but she vaguely guessed that it had something to do with the "Shen Linlang" he once said.

Sometimes she also wondered, he was so worried about Shen Linlang, so it was impossible to guess what was the relationship between them.

Originally, I wanted to say hello to him when I left, but since I didn't see anyone, that's fine.

It was almost noon when we arrived in Huzhou.

When I went back to the house, I saw that Mama Wu was not there, and went shopping for vegetables.The little maid Fanzhu Yingbi and the servant Jixiang Tongguang had heard the news a long time ago, and they were cleaning happily.

Seeing that the door was open, the neighbors on the right and the opposite side came in to greet each other.

"I heard that the group who came to kill Cheng Xiao was extremely vicious? Two groups came? Who are they?"

"Who is behind Cheng Xiao? He colluded with the reckless gangsters and embezzled official money, and even wanted to kill you?"

"Have you eaten yet? Why don't you go to your aunt's house and order some bowls of noodles for you first?"

Nanfeng Lane is the closest alley to the guard, and all the generals living in the guard lived there.

In Daning’s army, there are military households and recruits. People like Changying belong to recruits. They live by leading the army’s salary. It can also be said that serving in the army is a profession.

Back then, except for the land, Changying took all the property of the Shen family to the capital. When she was in the Ling family, her aunt took care of it for her. By the time she left the Ling family, her assets had already multiplied several times.

But then most of the cash on hand was exhausted by her when she was wandering in the capital. When she settled in Huzhou, she only had one hundred taels of silver bills with her, but there were still a few farms and shops in the capital that Xiuxiu took care of on her behalf.

Although I had a clear plan when I was reborn, I knew what I was going to do, and I made a clear plan for my back road during the time between waking up and going south, but I don’t know if this road will go smoothly. There are still shortcomings, so I didn't buy a house and settle down.

After she left the capital, there were fewer rumors about her in the capital. Those Zhuangzi shops—since Xiuxiu had never learned business management, she originally thought that as long as she could make some money and keep her capital, it would be fine, but she didn't expect to make a lot of money. less money.

Especially in the past year, according to Xiuxiu's letter, the profit is quite good, so the money has become more abundant.

In that year, he was promoted to a centurion, and there were occasional visits from senior generals, so it was not unreasonable to rent a place to live, so he entrusted his colleagues to find a three-way belt for resale in this Nanfeng Lane where they lived together. The house across the courtyard was bought.

All the comrades in the guard lived here, so it was convenient for communication. Secondly, this house was built by northerners. The orthodox courtyard layout made her feel very familiar.

The house only lived in the three of them and the three of Shaoqing, and a few maidservants hired later, it was very spacious.

The aunts are all family members of the army, so they naturally pay attention to and understand some things in the army, so the problems are really diverse.

Regarding these matters, Changying must have only vague responses.

But most of these are very simple and low-level officials. Although they also have orders, they don't have so many twists and turns. After a long time, they all regard her, a female general in a foreign country, as their niece, and never see anyone outside.

Naturally, Changying was also prepared, she asked Zixiang to entertain everyone with shortbread and pastries brought back from Changxing, and declined the kindness of the aunts who wanted to cook with their own hands.

Since Wu Ma went to the street to buy vegetables, she would be back soon, not to mention that the family also hired a nearby cook to help.

"Sister Changying! Your Mama Wu got into an argument at the street!"

Everyone in the room was talking lively, when suddenly a few half-grown children ran in to report the news, and when they arrived, they smothered their voices in a serious manner: "It's from the Su family next door!"

There are thousands of people in Nankangwei, and there are quite a few generals, so the one who dares to mess with Shen Changying will not be an unknown person.

And the Su family next door refers to the general Su Huan who lives on the left side of the Shen family—to be precise, it should be Su Huan's niece Su Xinrong.

The grievances with Su Xinrong have a long history, Changying put down the cup when she heard this: "What's going on?"

The little ones scratched their heads, unable to explain why, they simply slapped their thighs: "Go and see!"

Changying went to the street in the direction pointed by the children, and met Su Peirong, Su Huan's daughter and Su Xinrong's cousin as soon as she left the door.

Su Peirong stopped and glared at her, then walked towards the street in the same direction.

Chang Ying remained calm and walked behind with Zi Xiang.

Su Xinrong's ancestral home was in Jinling, and her family had been generals for three generations.Grandfather also once went to the paddock to serve the driver under the imperial edict.

My father is now serving as an official in Yunnan Dudu Commanding Envoy, but he is only a fourth-rank general of Mingwei, but this has spoiled her. As soon as he came here, he regarded himself as a "relative of the emperor" in Nankangwei. Bufan is transferred to the team of generals who have experienced training in the past.

For Chang Ying, who has no background and no background, he doesn't pay attention at all.

But a military camp is a military camp after all, and once they go to the battlefield, it is a matter of life and death. Soldiers are definitely more willing to support and follow leaders who can lead them to make great achievements and return safely.

Ever since Changying was promoted to the rank of centurion based on her real achievements, her reputation has gradually grown, and she has also become a thorn in Su Xinrong's eyes.

The two belong to the same guard, have the same official rank, and the key point is that the two families are next to each other. Who knows what it's like to be neighbors with this kind of person!

"Who are you talking about? Who are you talking about?!"

As soon as I arrived at the intersection of the street, I saw many people gathered in front of the dim sum shop in front of me. In the crowd, there was a woman with a basin face on her hips pointing at the plainly dressed woman on the opposite side and scolding: "Forget it in the past, today is our girl." Birthday, you dare to come here to make trouble? Are you impatient to live?!"

The woman is fat and has a loud voice. When she put her hips on her hips, her fat body trembled wildly. She really wanted to attract people's attention.

Standing opposite her was Mama Wu.

Just as Wu Ma was about to speak out, Su Peirong stopped between the two of them, perfectly blocking Wu Ma's planned counterattack. "What else do you want to make a fuss about? If you make a mistake, you are wrong, and you still have to argue on the street whether you will win or lose? There really is such a thing as a master and a servant!"

(Ask for a monthly ticket, okay?)
