Go to ancient times to catch fast

The two returned to the place where Zhou Ying set up a stall before, but Zhou Ying really wasn't there anymore.

Chu Xiaoyun asked the vendor next to him: "When did that woman start setting up a stall here?"

The peddler next to him saw that it was Chu Xiaoyun, whom Zhou Ying called "Chu Butou" who had gone and returned just now. He didn't know what the county government govt. : "...that woman, she came here to set up a stall two months ago."

Chu Xiaoyun recalled that when he saw Zhou Ying just now, the hawkers on both sides deliberately kept a distance from her stall. Logically, these people would not let her set up a stall here. How did Zhou Ying get this bustling street? What about the booth?

"Oh, how is her business?" Chu Xiaoyun asked again.

In addition, a peddler saw that Chu Xiaoyun came to inquire about the divorced wife of the Gu family, and he spoke kindly, and couldn't help but approached him curiously: "She hasn't sold a single thing in the past two months. You just opened it for her." What about Zhang?"

After hearing this, Su Wen couldn't believe it at all: "Didn't Sister Zhou say that his business is doing well?"

Chu Xiaoyun patted Su Wen's hand reassuringly, and said to the hawker who approached him, "Since there is no business, why does she still come to set up a stall every day?"

The peddler curled his lips after hearing this: "This stall was earned for her by a catcher from the county government. If she doesn't come, this stall will belong to someone else."

If the county government catches up fast and can stand up for Zhou Ying, it must be Yu He.

Su Wen couldn't help asking from the side: "Why don't you buy her things? Sister Zhou's embroidery is so good!"

The peddler gave Su Wen a strange look: "Is this... do you still need to ask? Besides, her things are expensive. Rich people don't buy them, so ordinary people have nothing to spend that money on."

Chu Xiaoyun said: "She has no income, what does she live on?"

The peddler said: "Listen to the people around her, she is now washing clothes for others to support her family. Because no one wanted to ask her to do laundry at the beginning, she only charged half of others' money, because it was cheap, and later people asked her to do laundry. gone."

After hearing this, Chu Xiaoyun said "thank you" to the vendors around him, and pulled Su Wen away from the place where Zhou Ying had set up the stall before.

Su Wen started to wipe his tears when he returned to the carriage, Chu Xiaoyun comforted him: "There is no unparalleled road, don't worry."

When Chu Xiaoyun brought Su Wen back to the county government office, everyone in the county government office was shocked.

Chu Xiaoyun went to the county magistrate's study to sell holidays, and Fang Lingfeng was also there.Wei Jinghan was also very surprised to see that Chu Xiaoyun came back without being called, "Didn't you not call you yet, why did you come back?"

Chu Xiaoyun replied with a smile: "The practice is almost done, I'm sorry to be out of pay, and it's more at ease to come back to work."

Wei Jinghan said: "That's fine. The long vacation is just to hope that you can protect yourself. Now that you can protect yourself, it's better to come back."

Chu Xiaoyun talked with Wei Jinghan about what he had seen on the road, and he talked about what he saw when he passed by Wang's house.

After hearing this, Wei Jinghan sneered: "What's so strange about that. That Wang Ming, his grandfather was the attendant of the Minister of Justice's father when he was the county magistrate of Hejing County. His grandfather watched the Minister of Justice grow up."

Chu Xiaoyun's mouth formed an O shape in shock.

Wei Jinghan didn't seem to be surprised, so he only said to Chu Xiaoyun: "You came back in time, and the time is almost right now, just go for a walk."

Chu Xiaoyun was surprised: "My lord, are you going too?"

Wei Jinghan glanced at Chu Xiaoyun: "Aren't you talking nonsense?"

Chu Xiaoyun remembered that all the officials from other places came here, so it didn't seem strange for the magistrate to go there.

When Chu Xiaoyun returned to the small courtyard of the arresting house, Su Wen had already washed up. When he saw Chu Xiaoyun coming back, he happily went up to him: "Husband, shall we go home tonight? I haven't been home for a long time. .”

Chu Xiaoyun said: "We have to go there today for the joy of the full moon of Wang Mentou Lin'er. Now that we have a carriage, we can come and go as we please."

"Great." Su Wen almost jumped up, but was caught by Chu Xiaoyun in a hurry, "Hold on, hold on tight."

Su Wen touched his growing belly: "I don't know when the little guy will move."

Chu Xiaoyun stretched out his hand to cover Su Wen's hand on his stomach: "It's really a miraculous thing, there is actually a baby inside."

These silly words just came out, and Su Wen opened them angrily.

Chu Xiaoyun took a bath and changed clothes, and was about to go out with Su Wen, when they happened to meet Yu He who had returned from patrolling the street.Speaking of going to Wang's house, Yu Hedao himself was preparing to go when he came back; he also heard that Chu Xiaoyun bought a carriage and asked him to wait for him and go together.

On the way to Wang's house, Chu Xiaoyun and Yu Hejun sat on the frame outside, chatting along the way, talking about Zhou Ying.Chu Xiaoyun asked: "Did you earn that booth for her?"

Yu Hedao: "I happened to meet her while patrolling the street that day, and the peddlers around wouldn't let her touch her. This is too overbearing."

Chu Xiaoyun nodded: "Thank you."

Yu He looked at him inexplicably: "I'm not helping your wife, why are you thanking me?"

Chu Xiaoyun was choked up by the words, for some reason, he always felt that Zhou Ying seemed to be doing something on his own, and someone else helped him, so he unconsciously said thank you.

Su Wen opened the door curtain and poked his head out, smiling: "You helped his wife's good sister."

Yu He rolled his eyes when he heard that.Chu Xiaoyun was extremely grateful to his little husband in his heart.

At Wang's house, Chu Xiaoyun met the owners of the official sedan chairs he had glimpsed through the cracks in the door, and many officials from other counties and Qingzhou Prefecture.

Yu He smiled and said: "It's worth it for the head of the door to do what he is. Even the inspectors and chief envoys of Qingzhou Prefecture have come, and his master is really big."

Chu Xiaoyun had a deep expression on his face: "It's the servant of the Ministry of Punishment who has a lot of face."

Yu He shrugged his shoulders: "The prime minister's servant is a third-rank official, today I have seen it."

Chu Xiaoyun joked, "You're going to be sore."

After that day, life returned to the way it used to be.After having dinner at Wang's house that day, Chu Xiaoyun took Su Wen back to his long-lost home.I have to say that Wang Sanqiang's mother, Third Aunt Wang, cared very much about Chu Xiaoyun's entreaties. The house was spotless, the yard was cleaned neatly, and the eggs laid by chickens and ducks were also sold by Third Aunt Wang to save money.

The first night was quite safe, no assassins were encountered.

On the second day, Chu Xiaoyun sent Su Wen to Zhihe Bookstore as usual, and then returned to the Yamen Yingmao by himself.

The second night was also home to live, and it was quite safe, and no assassins were encountered.

After a few days like this, the vigilance in Chu Xiaoyun's heart dropped slightly.He was about to start thinking that the assassins had given up on assassinating him because he had been away for several months and couldn't find anyone.

Su Wen returned to Zhihe Bookstore and worked harder than before, studying hard every day.He missed a lot of homework when he went out for two months, and the students of Zhihe Academy had already learned the previous ones, so he had to make up for what was left behind.Every day from the morning to the academy to the afternoon when Chu Xiaoyun came to pick him up from the Yamen, except for the midway meal, he was immersed in his studies.

Duan Chengyang was rather puzzled, since this kid doesn't need to be tested for fame, why is he working so hard.So he persuaded: "A combination of work and rest, besides, you have a child now."

Su Wendao: "I'm two months behind in my classes. If I don't hurry up, I won't be able to catch up. When I have a child, I won't be able to study again."

Duan Chengyang said: "What you have learned now, there should be no problem with daily literacy."

Su Wen smiled shyly: "I just want to help my husband a little if he needs it in the future."

Duan Chengyang said: "That doesn't have to be the case. In the future, if you need it, you can always ask."

When the two were talking, the Duan family's twins came to ask Su Wen to go out to play, Duan Chengyang said: "It's noon now, let's take a rest."

Su Wen didn't want to take away his husband's kindness, so he agreed.

Duan Chengyang has twin children, one is a daughter named Duan Yufei, and the other is a twin named Duan Yuyang.The two are two years younger than Su, both are unmarried, chattering and very lively.

They went out together, Duan Yuyang, the twin of the twins, said: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, let's go to Xiushui Street in Dongcheng, shall we? The mooncakes made by the Phoenix pastry shop there are delicious."

Daughter Duan Yufei smiled and said: "You like eating sweets so much, be careful to grow into a big fat man, you won't be able to marry in the future."

"No way, I will ask Chu Butou to introduce me to someone from their yamen, just like Chu Butou. He often buys pastries for Brother Su Wen." Duan Yuyang's eyes showed longing look.

Duan Yufei curled her lips: "Give up, Brother Chu is the one who can't see such a delicious ghost like you. Brother Chu likes a quiet and handsome man like Brother Su Wen."

After that, he ran away happily.

"Duan Yufei, stop for me. Who do you think is a gourmet?" Duan Yuyang chased after her, still yelling.

Su Wen watched them bickering back and forth, it was very lively.This is the liveliness that this age should have. In comparison, I seem a bit boring, and I don't know what my husband likes about him.But thinking of her husband's kindness to him, and thinking of how his husband would still be liked by others, Su Wen felt like eating honey, very sweet.

After walking for half an hour, Su Wen discovered that the Xiushui Street they were talking about turned out to be the street where Zhou Ying set up a stall yesterday.Seeing that Zhou Ying's stall was getting closer and closer, Su Wen suddenly stopped.He waved to the twins: "Go to the embroidery stall in front and buy me some embroidery, okay? It's the kind that can be framed and hung on the wall. She can pay as much as she asks, don't bargain."

Duan Yufei asked strangely: "Brother Su Wen, you're almost here, why don't you go buy it yourself?"

Duan Yuyang also looked at him curiously.

Su Wen said: "I don't need money to buy her. When you buy things, just buy things and don't mention anything else."

As he said that, he took off his purse and was about to hand it to Duan Yuyang, only to find that he had bought it from Zhou Ying's stall a few days ago.

He hurriedly asked, "Where's your bag? Put it in your purse."

After spending a lot of time explaining the reason, the twins finally went shopping with Su Wen's money, and Su Wen found a place to hide it.Not long after, the twins came back with some embroidery.

"A pair of brocade paintings cost half a tael of silver, and her embroidery is too expensive. But let's take a good look, and we each bought some. Brother Su, which one do you want?" Duan Yufei asked.

The two spread out the embroidery they bought in front of them.There are cloaks, round fans, towels, and brocade paintings.

Su Wen asked them to choose first, and the remaining brocade painting was his own.

After distributing the things, Su Wen remembered: "If you buy things casually, will the adults in the family have any objections?"

The twins looked at Su Wen in surprise.Duan Yufei said, "We bought it with our own money, why should we have any opinions?"

"And her embroidery is really good, and the fabric is also very high-quality. Although it is more expensive, it is worth the price. I feel that everyone will rush to ask for such things. Why is there only people looking at her, but no one buys?" Duan Yu Yang asked strangely.

Su Wen gave a general overview of the situation, and the twins were particularly emotional: "She and her husband are so pitiful, and she also met bad people, so pitiful. But everyone is so isolated from her, it's too snobbish. I'm on good terms with me." Tell the sisters, let them go and help."

Su Wencai remembered that the Duan family was also a little famous in Hejing County, and the people around them were also well-fed.I unintentionally helped Zhou Ying to promote it. Although it was a drop in the bucket, I hope it can help a little.

Because he had to pass by Zhou Ying's stall to buy mooncakes, Su Wen didn't go there. He found a place to wait, and asked the twins to bring some back when they bought mooncakes.Thinking of Wang Sanqiang, who had been helping him to take care of his family courtyard, and Yu He, whose family was not in Hejing County, and wondering whether to give a copy to the county magistrate, Su Wen asked the twins to buy four mooncakes for him.
