letter of commitment

39.

Shen Qingshu was finally able to say the long-awaited answer, but Mu Chu was not as happy as he had imagined.

Withdrawing her fingers from her "imprisonment" and hiding them in the bed, the reaction was extremely flat, and she said disconsolately:

"Sleepy."

Shen Qingshu was stunned for a while, this shouldn't be, Mu Chu seemed to have really fallen asleep, and there was no movement for a long time, Shen Qingshu couldn't help but reflect, what was wrong?Qi Qiran lay back in his seat.

just love...

……

When Shen Qingshu woke up, Zhang Zhixian also knew that he had no way out, so he went to visit Shen Qingshu with the medical officer early in the morning, hoping to beg for mercy and leave Zhang Chi's life behind.

"It is your right that he can lynch the prisoner."

Shen Qingshu wasn't asking questions, but was just reminding the people in front of her, who indulged Zhang Chi like this, this morning, she asked Zhong Qiao to arrest him, not to mention intentionally murdering the court officials, just The few lives that were tragically lost due to his special habit deserved a capital punishment.

"It's the lower official who is confused. I beg your lord to forgive me and spare the dog. Thousands of mistakes are the fault of the lower official. The lower official is willing to suffer for him."

From the moment Zhang Zhixian came in, he was thrown into the ground, and his voice was trembling. He was obviously terrified to the extreme, but he still wanted to exchange his life for Zhang Chi's. However, what Shen Qingshu wanted to say was that neither of them escaped not drop.

"Do you think that I have not understood what you have done these years? As a parent official in Ping County, you don't want to benefit the people. On the contrary, you are not worthy of this black hat on your head; Educate your son and let him act recklessly and disregard human life."

Shen Qingshu paused, looked at the person kneeling on the ground shaking non-stop, with a look of hatred on his face, and continued: "I really hate you and your son!"

Speaking of the excitement, Shen Qingshu, who was still in a weak state, coughed violently, and couldn't continue for a while.

There is no need to say any more, Zhong Qiao understands everything, and soon father and son surnamed Zhang met in prison.

Shen Qingshu was already lenient, she could have dismissed him directly, but she felt that she couldn't just let it go, so she wrote another letter and sent someone to Fengdu to report the situation here in detail, and the result was Zhao Qiaomu, who knew everything, happily ordered her to be promoted. Once promoted, she jumped two grades in a row, making everyone jealous. The father and son surnamed Zhang also made a decisive decision under the witness of the people in the county. Shen Qingshu came to the scene to act This supervisor killed her, but this time, she didn't even blink her eyes, and she felt relieved.

It's just that Ping County has no person in charge. The new magistrate will not arrive until at least two months later. Shen Qingshu thought about it and decided to abandon one of his right-hand men and temporarily act as the county government's affairs. Zhong Qiyu is happy So much so that when Xinzhi County arrived, he didn't want to return the position. After all, under his leadership, Ping County has changed its appearance, but that's another story.

(A month later...)

Winter has passed, and spring has always been full of vitality. In addition, tomorrow is the Spring Festival. Every household is busy decorating with lanterns and festoons. There are many vendors selling strange and small items on the street, full of the flavor of the new year.

……

"A little to the left, no, no, a little to the right... oh, a little to the left... yes, that's it."

"Over there, be careful, put it lightly..."

"Eh……"

……

Standing at the gate, Mu Chu gave orders to the boys who carried and placed things. Now she finally has the appearance of a hostess, and she is unambiguous in taking care of affairs, and even opened a clothing store by herself. , When I have nothing to do, I go to do some business. Because of Shen Qingshu, the local people take care of me, and the business is not bad. The housekeeper of Shen's house is very grateful for this. Save it, hai.

----------------

"Okay, you all go back, I guess the family is still waiting for your help."

New year and new weather, the government office must also be replaced with new ones. In the backyard of the government office, Shen Qingshu pasted the last pair of Spring Festival couplets, smiled and said to the yamen servants, and of course he did not forget to give them New Year gifts, and the yamen servants also loved it. Feeling flattered, Shen Qingshu only said that they deserved it.

"In the new year, I hope that you will continue to work hard with Shen to make Yanyang better and better. Tomorrow, I will personally visit you and your family to wish you a new year."

"My lord must come..."

"My lord, you are welcome..."

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone left except for those on duty, Shen Qingshu and Zhong Qiao tidied up, and they were about to rush home, this one was going to have a reunion dinner, so it couldn't be too late.

The two were riding on the street, passing by a jewelry shop, Shen Qingshu seemed to have remembered something, got off the horse, and entered the shop.

Seeing the visitor, the boss also warmly greeted with a hippie smile: "Master Shen is here, rare visitor."

Shen Qingshu nodded slightly towards her, as a response, and began to scan the dazzling array of jewelry on the shelves, there were all kinds of jewelry, but Shen Qingshu chose for a long time, but none of them were satisfied, because she felt that the only jewelry in front of her eyes These don't suit her, they are too conspicuous and ostentatious, she doesn't like it.

"Your Excellency, do you want to choose jewelry for Madam?"

The boss is a woman who is relatively more careful. Seeing that Shen Qingshu had no idea to ask for a long time, but Zhong Qiao gave him a stare. Our adults are only a wife. If we don’t pick for her, who is it for?

The boss shrank his neck in fear, Shen Qingshu smiled.

"Yes, I wonder if you have any recommendations?"

The boss recommended some jade pendants, Bu Yao, Feng Chai, but Shen Qingshu just shook his head when he saw the styles. After being distressed, Shen Qingshu went to the next house, but the results were all the same. Good perfume, rouge, go home.

Seeing that there was too much delay, the two decided to take a shortcut and turned into an alley. At the end of the alley, there was an old woman selling trinkets. Shen Qingshu found what he wanted with just a casual glance.

He picked up an emerald-colored jade hairpin from the stall. The body of this hairpin is green and engraved with a few crooked and oblique lines. And there is a flower in the middle of the green leaf, and a red bead hangs down from the stamen. It is precisely this red bead that attracts Shen Qingshu.

"Master, you have good eyesight. This is a unique red bean hairpin in the south. It is rare in places like Yanyang."

Shen Qingshu nodded, asked for this one, and returned it not long after paying the money and leaving.

"Old man, I want all these."

Hearing the old woman's voice, it doesn't look like she's from Yanyang, she probably came here to find a job, Shen Qingshu couldn't see these things the most, as she was old enough to make a living, so he chatted with her for a while.

After learning about it, I found out that the old woman is from southern Guangdong, and there is a daughter at home, but there was a flood a few years ago, and she was washed away by the water. After being rescued, she turned into a fool. The doctor is here, but all the money and everything have been exhausted. The old woman is dexterous and can make some small objects by herself, including these ornaments.

Shen Qingshu took out the hairpin in his pocket again. No wonder he felt that the texture was much lighter. It turned out to be made of wood. Not to mention, the external decoration was so fake.

After giving the old woman some silver taels, and sending Zhong Qiao to send her home, Shen Qingshu rushed to the Shen residence, but it was still too late.

Mu Chu and a group of servants in the house had already been sitting around the tables, only Shen Qingshu's head seat and Zhong Qiao's seat on the main table were still vacant. Facing the gazes cast by everyone, Shen Qingshu smiled embarrassedly Laughing, he ran back to the house to change clothes, came to sit down, but because Zhong Qiao was not around, he still couldn't move his chopsticks.

After a while, everyone finally gathered, and the atmosphere became more relaxed. Everyone said some auspicious and blessing words, and this special reunion dinner ended with everyone's laughter at the end.

On New Year's Eve, it is necessary to watch the New Year's Eve. The New Year's Eve money must be indispensable to watch the New Year's Eve. Shen Qingshu has already prepared it. Anyone who works in the house, no matter how old or young, has a share. Seeing them get the New Year's Eve money happily like a child, Shen Qingshu was naturally happy in his heart.

Late at night, Shen Qingshu walked back to the corridor with his hands behind his back, the red lanterns hanging above the corridor had already been lighted up, and the bright red light reflected on Shen Qingshu's face, fully showing her mood at the moment.

Entering the house, he made a silent gesture to Xiao He who was about to salute, and sent her down again. He walked softly and came behind Mu Chu. Mu Chu was bending over to wash his face, and did not notice the person behind him.

After she wiped off the water stains on her face, Shen Qingshu raised his hand to cover her eyes, but he didn't speak, making Mu Chu mistakenly think that it was Xiao He playing with him.

"You girl, but you are one year older, why are you still acting like a child, let go of your hands quickly."

Shen Qingshu chuckled, which exposed her.

"Aren't you Xiaohe?"

Mu Chu became vigilant. Just by laughing, Mu Chu could not directly judge the identity of the person behind him. It was because Shen Qingshu seldom smiled in front of her. The so-called smile was just the corners of his mouth raised upwards, but he never made a sound. passed.

Shen Qingshu thought for a while, but still lowered his hand, but moved it to Mu Chu's slender waist, hugged her from behind, and rested his chin on her shoulder.

Speaking of which, Mu Chu himself didn't quite believe it. Since that night in Ping County, Shen Qingshu seemed to have changed a lot. He took the initiative a lot, but he himself became a lot colder.

"Happy New Year."

"It seems a little early to say."

It was a familiar voice, and Mu Chu relaxed, but his tone was cold.

To be honest, because they had already made an appointment, Shen Qingshu was still late. Because of this, Mu Chu was a little displeased, but at the dinner table, with so many eyes watching her, it was hard for her to show it. to give.

"I have a present for you."

When he said this, Mu Chu had already slipped out of Shen Qingshu's embrace, sat in front of the dressing table, picked up the wooden comb, and began to comb it again and again, but he was waiting for Shen Qingshu's next words.
