The Only Favorite Ugly Husband

Chapter 117 The Court's Reward

Jiang Zhen didn't go to the county seat for several days.

The Qingfeng Building in the county seat has long been on the right track, so he doesn't need to look at it, and the Fucheng side is closed for the time being... That being the case, he just stays in Hexi Village and takes care of a little escort agency.

His Escort is recruiting again, and he just happens to be able to check it out.

In the past, Jiang Zhen didn't even have a scholar under his command, but now he can easily recruit scholars, but he mainly recruits bodyguards.

When he recruited bodyguards, he always looked for locals, the kind who knew that there was a family nearby. These days are not modern, and without ID cards, naturally no one can rest assured to find outsiders.

Jiang Zhen is very busy, but as long as he can, he will take Zhao Mingzhu with him wherever he goes.

This was his first child, and it was only at the oldest age, and he couldn't help liking this child.

Because of this, when Zhao Mingzhu, who was always very energetic, suddenly became ill, Jiang Zhen became anxious.

Zhao Mingzhu was a very easy child to take care of. In the past, even if she was crying, as long as someone hugged her, she would be fine. But this time, Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge took turns hugging her, and she still looked very uncomfortable.

Not only that, Jiang Zhen also found that she seemed to be a little hot.

The child has a fever!

If in modern times, you can get a thermometer to measure the child's temperature and go to the hospital for an examination, but there is nothing here.

Not even Baidu, which is full of all kinds of unreliable information.

Jiang Zhen suddenly became anxious: "What should I do? Mingzhu seems to be very uncomfortable!"

Brother Zhao Jin was also a complete novice. When Jiang Zhen was in a hurry, he became even more anxious, and when the two of them were in a hurry, Zhao Liushi was naturally in a hurry.

Even Zhao Fugui, who has become a bit of an old man these days, and just came back from "inspecting" the field in a new suit, rubbed his hands and became uneasy: "This... this... Jin Hu and Brother Jin... Two children, there was nothing like this when they were young!"

"It's not that there is nothing, but you don't know." Zhao Liushi glanced at Zhao Fugui. The two children she gave birth to also had uncomfortable experiences when they were young, but they didn't have much money at that time. Even if the children were sick, they were just sick. Boil it, and after a few days, it will be fine.

However, she couldn't remember what happened.

Moreover, in this Hexi Village, some children can survive their illnesses, while others cannot... The more Zhao Liu thought about it, the more worried he became.

"Let's go to the county seat to have a look." Jiang Zhen said without hesitation, no matter what, the doctor should have a look first.

Holding his daughter in his arms, Jiang Zhen hurried to the county seat, and when he arrived at the county seat, he hurried to the medical clinic.

"Is this child sick? What are the symptoms? Throwing up or vomiting? How many days has it been like this?" The doctor glanced at the child in Jiang Zhen's arms and asked again and again.

Chinese medicine pays attention to observation, hearing and questioning. For such a young child, he can't know the pulse accurately, and he can't speak, so he can only rely on his parents to describe.

"It started today, she was very fussy, and she still has a little fever." Jiang Zhen told all Zhao Mingzhu's symptoms.

"It's only been a day, maybe it's too cold and noisy...you have to look at it first." The doctor said, he is not a doctor who specializes in pediatrics. Such a small child seems to have no major problems, so naturally he dare not give her the medicine. Prescribe medicine.

"Doctor, but she has a fever." Jiang Zhen was worried about this right now.

The doctor touched Brother Zhao Jin's forehead with his hand, and said: "It's nothing, it's not too hot, it doesn't matter if she can eat."

"She can eat food, but she eats less." Jiang Zhen said.

"Your child is sick, let me take a look." At this moment, an elderly woman suddenly turned out of the room.

Jiang Zhen nodded without hesitation and asked the man to help him take a look.

The woman watched for a while, and then asked Jiang Zhen to open Zhao Mingzhu's mouth.

Jiang Zhen nodded, opened Zhao Mingzhu's mouth to show the man, and then heard the woman say: "It's nothing, just teeth, make something harder and let her grind her teeth. "

teething?Jiang Zhen took a closer look and found that Zhao Mingzhu's gums were a little red. When he found this, he immediately felt relieved.

Brother Zhao Jin and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the child is only teething, there is no need to worry too much. Jiang Zhen took the Zhao family to the grain store to buy some high-quality flour for Zhao Mingzhu, and some sugar before going back.

During this period, he also met people from the Zheng family.

In Hecheng County, it can be said that there are Zheng family members everywhere. Jiang Zhen hurried into the city and went directly to the medical clinic. Naturally, someone reported this to Zheng Yi, so Zheng Yi sent someone to ask.

Knowing that it was just the child's teeth, Zheng Yi couldn't help being a little amused, and immediately put it aside, and then asked someone: "You said, Zhou Maohe lost his trace?"

The news that Mr. Zhou was coming to the south of the Yangtze River was sent by Mr. Zheng from the capital, and apart from this news, Mr. Zheng also asked Zheng Yi to pay attention to Mr. Zhou.

Mr. Zhou didn't know what was going on outside the court, and Erye Zheng was not the only official he hated, so Zheng Yi wasn't too worried at first. Later, he found out that Mr. Zhou was too jealous, so he temporarily gave up on Fucheng. The construction of Qingfeng Building.

Don't let Mr. Zhou use his large-scale construction projects in Fucheng as an excuse to attack his second uncle, or think that they are corrupt and accepting bribes...

Conscience of heaven and earth, although the Zheng family has received many benefits from his second uncle, his second uncle has always been a clean official. After all, his family is rich and too greedy... so he can't make political achievements.

Zheng Yi was afraid that the imperial envoy would find fault, so he had always paid close attention to him. As a result, someone told him that the imperial envoy suddenly disappeared.

This... Weifu private visit?

Zheng Yi pondered for a while but didn't come to a conclusion, so he just asked people to pay more attention to the news of the imperial envoy.

He thought he had done nothing wrong, so he was naturally not afraid of being investigated.

After Jiang Zhen took Zhao Mingzhu back to Hexi Village, he found something for Zhao Mingzhu to bite.

It's just that, now that it's cold, Zhao Mingzhu wears a lot of clothes, and it's inconvenient to put something in her hand to bite, so she gets upset, and starts "groaning" again, Jiang Zhen is afraid that she will hurt something that is too hard Own.

After much deliberation, Jiang Zhen simply washed his hands, and then gave Zhao Mingzhu a bite.

With Jiang Zhen's fingers to bite, Zhao Mingzhu really stopped making trouble.

She didn't have teeth yet, and she didn't have much strength. Jiang Zhen's hands were full of calluses. It didn't hurt to be bitten by her like this, but her fingers were itchy.

When Jiang Xiaomei came to Jiang Zhen, she saw her elder brother who had changed a lot, biting his finger for Zhao Mingzhu to play with.

Looking at Zhao Mingzhu, she suddenly remembered when she was a child... His elder brother would take her with him at that time, and treated her well, but he kept silent, and when she was a little older, she was not willing to follow him who was always silent.

"What's the matter with you?" Jiang Zhen asked.

Jiang Xiaomei lowered her head, a little embarrassed, but quickly raised her head and said, "I want to marry Zhang Bai."

"Zhang Bo?" Jiang Zhen was taken aback for a moment, and after thinking about it, he remembered that he was the son of the two father and son who fired the blue bricks that he brought back.

He bought the father and son with money, but in order to encourage them to burn more bricks, he gave rewards.

The father and son saved the rewards he gave, and found him not long ago, saying that they wanted to redeem themselves, and that they would continue to work for him, and he agreed.

However, he did not expect that Jiang Xiaomei would fall in love with Zhang Bai.

He remembered that Jiang Xiaomei seemed to be interested in Jiang Ming before?But he had too many things to do, so he didn't care about the development of things.

"Yes, that's him." Jiang Xiaomei lowered her head.

She liked Jiang Ming before, but she would like it, and it was only because of Jiang Ming's good conditions. She had never had any contact with Jiang Ming, so she could not be regarded as the king.

But these days, she and Zhang Bai saw each other because she went to work in the brick kiln every day.

Zhang Bai has the skill of firing blue bricks, so he will definitely not be short of money in the future, and his job is better than that of Jiang Ming who has to go out all day. After they get married, they can stay together all the time.

"If you want to marry him, you can do it, but wait until my mother's birthday party is over." Jiang Zhen said, he had the impression that Zhang Bai was a young man who burned bricks all day long and made himself dark. Among other things, he is quite honest and willing to do it.

In the past, he only built a brick kiln in Hexi Village, but it was not enough, so he went to a neighboring village to build a similar brick kiln, and asked Zhang Bai's father to take care of it.

The size of the two brick kilns is the same, but in the end Zhang Bo always burns more bricks... It is said that he spends almost all his time on the brick kiln except for eating and sleeping.

Jiang Zhen has no objection to this person, Jiang Xiaomei will marry as soon as she wants, he doesn't care, at this moment, he still plans to organize Zhao Liu's birthday banquet first.

When Jiang Zhen and Brother Zhao Jin got married, they couldn't make the wedding banquet lively. After all, there were too few relatives and friends, but it's different now.

At this moment, Jiang Zhenguang has countless subordinates, and he can definitely find a large group of people to celebrate Zhao Liushi's birthday!

Jiang Zhen finally decided to make Zhao Liushi's birthday banquet a big one.

On the day of Zhao Liu's birthday, the sun was very bright and there was no wind.

Here in Hexi Village, there is a saying, "Poor lies in debts, and cold lies in the wind."

A man is not poor if he is free of debt, and not too cold if there is no northwest wind.

The sun was sunny and there was no wind this day. Although it was winter, it gave people the same feeling as spring.

"Look, once you pass your birthday, God will give you a good face." Someone in Hexi Village praised Zhao Liushi.

Jiang Zhen planned to hold a birthday banquet, so early in the morning, those people in Hexi village who had good friends with Mrs. Zhao and Liu came to help.

Mrs. Zhao Liu was wearing new clothes and gold jewelry, with a smile on her face: "Oh, it's all Jiang Zhen... You said that I am an old bone, and I am almost in the coffin, and he still insists on spending a lot of money for me. Happy birthday, really..."

Zhao Liushi said this on the lips, and also told Zhao Jinge in private, thinking that it would cost too much money to do so, but she was very happy in her heart, with a smile on her face.

Seeing that all the tables have been opened, and many guests come to the door one after another, I am even more happy from ear to ear.

She has never been so shameless in her life.

Mrs. Zhao and Liu were very happy, but at this moment, a middle-aged man with a livid face came down from a boat.

The middle-aged man brought two guards with him, and he looked like a wealthy businessman. After he came, he asked the people on the pier: "I heard that there is a Jinzhen Escort here?"

"Yes." The man who moved the goods said: "There is a Jinzhen Escort Bureau, do you want to look for them? They rented the house over there for business." The man who moved the goods said, pointing He pointed to a shop not far away with a plaque of "Jin Zhen Escort Bureau".

"Oh..." The middle-aged man nodded, and asked again: "I heard there is a Qingfeng Tower here?"

Apart from looking for Jin Zhen Escort, this person also wants to go to Qingfeng Tower to play?The person who moved the goods hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, you can find a kid on the street, spend two copper coins, and they will take you there! Tsk tsk, in the Qingfeng Building, it is said that there are all kinds of food and play. Something that can only be found in the palace, but it is a good place!"

"What?" The middle-aged man's expression changed.How can something that is only available in the palace be taken out for a group of businessmen to enjoy?

It really makes no sense!

Seeing the unsightly expression on the middle-aged man's face, the mover was taken aback: "This master..."

"It's okay." The middle-aged man waved his hand.

This middle-aged man is Zhou Maohe, the imperial envoy from the capital.

A few days ago, Zhou Maohe received a letter saying that there was a Jinzhen Escort Bureau in Hecheng County, and the person in charge not only beat his parents, but also bribed the officials, so that his parents had nowhere to sue.

Zhou Maohe inquired, and found out more things. For example, this Hecheng County is the territory of the Zheng family. For example, the Zheng family also built a Qingfeng Building with the Jin Zhen Escort. Although it has not been open for a long time, it is still Countless people already know about this place.

As for the Qingfeng Building, it costs ten taels of silver to go there?So much money is enough for ordinary people to spend a year!

Could such a place be a good place?

The Zheng family doesn't know what they're doing!

Zhou Maohe had always had a problem with Mr. Zheng who was trying to please the Queen Mother all day long. Now that he heard about it, he immediately decided to come and have a look.

He came here with his identity hidden, and now, he planned to go to Qingfeng Tower to have a look.

That place that everyone praises, maybe the people inside are doing disgusting things!

The Qingfeng Building in Hecheng County also has a threshold.

If you want to go in, you have to press 20 taels of silver at the door first. After entering, except for the exchange of chips, all expenses will be deducted from the 20 taels of silver, and in the end, any excess will be refunded.

This is nothing to the people who come to Qingfeng Building. Who can come here without bringing 20 taels of silver?

However, Zhou Maohe was shocked when he heard the words: "20 taels of silver?" He was born in a poor family, and his family has never been rich. I brought some silver, but it was not as much as 20 taels.

This man actually asked him for 20 taels of silver!

"Master, if you don't bring any money, you can come again next time." The person at the door smiled at Zhou Maohe.

Although Zhou Maohe seemed to have no money, but Zheng Yi explained that they should greet even ragged people with smiles, so their attitude was very good.

As everyone knows, their behavior of asking for money and their attitude made Zhou Maohe feel more and more that there was a ghost in Qingfeng Building.

As soon as he gritted his teeth, Zhou Maohe took out 20 taels of silver, and then walked in... Because he couldn't take out any extra silver, his two guards were left outside.

Qingfeng Building is very luxurious. Although Zhou Maohe lives in poverty, he still has good eyesight. Now he looks more and more angry, and after a while, he was brought into the hall.

That hall is where people play cards.

In the middle of the hall, some arc-shaped tables were set up to form a circle, and inside, Liu Qianqian and Zhao Lingxi were sitting there.

It was still early at this moment, there was no one in Qingfeng Building, so they were also idle, and only let other people deal cards to the guests who came to the door, and play with them-the two of them are now the signs of Qingfeng Building However, it depends on their mood to let them go to the banker to deal cards.

"It's a really good job, but I won't be able to do it when I get older." Liu Qianqian said.

"What are you afraid of? When we get older, we've already saved a fortune!" Zhao Lingxi said.The Qingfenglou didn't pay them much, only two taels of silver a month, but the rewards given by the guests were all taken by them!

The guests here are generous, and they don't give copper coins for rewards, they are basically silver!

But it didn't take long for them to save a lot of money. Speaking of it, they didn't end up easily now because they found that they could increase their status and get more rewards.

"You're right... When the time comes, I'll set up a female household and find a child to raise." Liu Qianqian said.

"You're not married anymore?" Zhao Lingxi looked at Liu Qianqian in confusion. Before that, Liu Qianqian wanted to marry with all her heart...

"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth..." Liu Qianqian said: "I was given medicine when I was in the flower building, and I would never have children." This is why she wanted to be a concubine before. , but never thought about the reason for getting married, she couldn't even have a baby, and married in a serious way, how would she live that day?

Being a concubine is different. She looks so good that she can charm men, and then she confesses to the mistress in private, saying that she can't have children... For the sake of her non-threatening, the mistress will definitely let her go. She took care of herself in the backyard.

Zhao Lingxi was taken aback when she heard the words, but in the end she didn't comfort her, she just said: "Then save money, I guess I won't be able to get married, if it's not possible, we will be a companion in the future."

The two of them were talking, feeling a little heavy. At this moment, they suddenly heard someone shouting: "It's really a downturn in the world! A downturn in the world! The women's twins are not at home to take care of their husbands and children, but they come out to hang out with a group of men... This is disgraceful!"

The two looked over together, only to realize that it was a middle-aged man who said it.

"Where did this old pedant come from?" Liu Qianqian couldn't help frowning.

"This place is both a gambling house and a brothel! What a Zheng family! They did such a thing!" Zhou Maohe was already furious.

In this Qingfeng building, there are actually some women dressed as men making fun of men!

Such a dirty place, what is the name "Qingfenglou"? !

Because of Jiang Zhen's explanation, these women who work in Qingfenglou actually don't talk much to the guests.

You know, Jiang Zhen said at the beginning that if they hooked up with customers and wanted to find another job, then he would immediately let them go... What let them go, isn't this just to drive people away?

These women Shuang'er also have big intentions, but without a clear goal, they really dare not have anything to do with the guests.

Even if they have a goal...they plan to find the right one—if they are in two boats, they will capsize!

Of course, most of them don't want to find a target anymore.

It is definitely better to have money yourself than to follow someone and then ask for some money from others to spend.

Therefore, no one really made fun of the guests at this moment, but in Zhou Maohe's opinion, it was wrong for this woman to stay in such a place.

"You look down on this place so much, what are you doing here?" Liu Qianqian said angrily, she just opened her scar once, and she was angry!

"That's right, you come to such a place and stare at us, you look like... Tsk tsk." Zhao Lingxi chimed in.

Liu Qianqian and Zhao Lingxi are definitely the two most popular here. Which man in the hall doesn't like them now?

Seeing them angry, those men immediately looked at Zhou Maohe and condemned them one after another.

Liu Qianqian and Zhao Lingxi were told not to offend the guests, and they dared not utter a single swear word, but these people were different. They had the intention to show in front of Liu Qianqian and Zhao Lingxi, and to Zhou Maohe, That's not polite at all.

Most of the people who come here are businessmen, this is a dirty word...

"It's an insult to the gentleman! It's an insult to the gentleman!" Zhou Maohe became more and more angry.

He has a sharp tongue and can quote scriptures in court, making people speechless, but when a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain why.

The businessmen present had a loud voice, and they cursed people in dialect very smoothly. Everyone still couldn't understand Zhou Maohe's words...

In the end, Zhou Maohe was said to have no choice but to escape from here, but as soon as he left, he bumped into a servant.

"My lord, please come outside." The servant of Qingfenglou said conciliatively to Zhou Mao.This person is here to find fault, so he must be sent away quickly.

Zhou Maohe didn't have the face to stay any longer, he flicked his sleeves and walked outside.

He walked quickly, and after walking for a certain distance, he heard someone shouting from behind: "My lord, you don't want your money anymore?"

Zhou Maohe paused, gritted his teeth, and walked back: "Silver?"

"You didn't spend anything in our Qingfeng Building, except for one tael of silver for the entry fee, the rest will be returned to you." The boy at the door said with a smile.

The boy was respectful, but Zhou Maohe felt insulted and underestimated, but the money...

After taking the money, Zhou Maohe turned around and left.

At this moment, Zheng Yi was holding a heavy Guanyin, and then gave it to Zhao Liushi.

"It's so heavy!" Mrs. Zhao Liu held the Avalokitesvara in her hands, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly called someone to bring a table, so that she could put the Avalokitesvara on it for others to see.

The vulgar Jin Guanyin was finally placed on a table covered with a red cloth. Watching Zhao Liushi keep introducing to others that it was given to her by Young Master Zheng, Young Master Zheng touched his nose, feeling a little helpless.

In his life, he gave such a vulgar gift once, and it was widely publicized...

In the end, Young Master Zheng didn't want to stay outside anymore, so he took Jiang Zhen to the inside: "Jiang Zhen, I have good news for you."

"What?" Jiang Zhen asked curiously.

"It was you who came up with that method of suturing the wound. Someone tried it before and it was confirmed to be effective. The emperor gave him a reward!" Zheng Yi said: "This is the news from my second uncle. As for the angel, I guess it is on the road right now. .”

Zheng Yi didn't say anything, Jiang Zhen almost forgot about it, but now he was a little surprised when he heard it: "What kind of reward?"

"I heard that it's just a little money... my second uncle didn't elaborate." Zheng Yi was a little embarrassed. Jiang Zhen was just a commoner, so it was impossible to give him too many rewards: "However, with this reward, your status in the future will always be It's different."

Jiang Zhen nodded, Zheng Yi was right, with such a reward, his business would indeed be much easier.
