Wearing a county magistrate to build infrastructure

The conversation next door was just as Tang Zisheng expected, nothing more than reminiscing about the past.

Perhaps both of them were mentally prepared, and they didn't have the shock and tears of sudden meeting when they saw each other again.

"I haven't seen you for more than ten years, Yingle, you have lost a lot of weight." Shen Ditang held Yingle's hand tightly in the palm of his hand as he did when he was still in Shen's house more than ten years ago, carefully watching every inch of Yingle's face, Yingle must have suffered a lot these years.

Xu Yingle shook his head, these hardships are nothing compared to losing his life, "How have you been doing these years, my lord?"

"Not good." Shen Ditang squeezed his hands tightly, with tears in the corners of his eyes, "My beloved brother is gone, and my beloved is far away from his homeland and cannot see each other. But I have occupied my brother's place and have lived till now. Is the day counting well?"

Xu Yingle pursed his lips and remained silent, he——

"But I know that there are people who have worked harder than me. They left their hometowns and gave birth alone. I don't know that he has suffered more than ten years in vain."

"It's not as bad as what the young master said. It's my choice to come here alone. I have been with me for more than ten years after I gave birth to Qingcheng. I just didn't feel lonely. Although life has been poor these years, compared to most people who can't eat enough Humanly speaking, I've been lucky enough."

Xu Yingle had already seen it through. He was originally a servant of the Shen family. It was the son's benevolence that allowed him to enjoy better treatment than ordinary rich sons and made him lose his sense of proportion. He should have endured hardship in the first place.

"Don't say such words to comfort me. What happened back then was that Jing Huan and I were sorry for you and Yan He. You were already seventeen at that time. If it wasn't because I wasn't married yet, you would have entered the Yan Mansion long ago. If I had Even if something happened to Jing Huan at that time, it would definitely not involve you if some people decided to marry you to the Yan family."

Xu Yingle shook his head, how could he blame the young master, he had to become the adopted son of the Shen family in order to enter the Yan family as the rightful husband.But if he is really adopted as an adopted son, there is no reason for his elder brother to marry himself without marrying himself first.

Moreover, "If the emperor hadn't pointed the son out to Ah Or, but to someone else, would the son really be someone else's husband?"

At that time, the son could not die, and the Shen family had to be buried with him when he died, but apart from Yan He, who in the entire imperial city would tolerate the son not having sex after marriage, and how could the son be willing to become someone else's husband, now The situation is good enough.

Shen Ditang did not say anything, the matter was indeed as Yingle said, if the emperor was not referring to Yan or someone else, his current life would be worse than death, but Yingle has to bear the consequences of this life. Unable to pass the guilt.

"I'm sorry for you, and it's my parents who are sorry for you." If his parents hadn't intervened, Yingle would have entered Yan's mansion as a side husband, and Yan might have treated him as his husband.And he and Jing Huan were only separated for a period of time because of the emperor's order, and they could always be together again.

"Madam treated me kindly. If Madam hadn't been soft-hearted, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to leave the imperial city. As for Master Shen, he puts the Shen family first. I'm just a servant of the Shen family, so naturally I don't need to think about it."

If he had entered the Yan Mansion back then, even though the young master had taken the title of rightful husband, he would still exist in name only, and the Shen Mansion might have nowhere to live.

It's a pity that Master Shen underestimated the relationship between the young master and Jing Huan, thinking that as long as the young master marries into the Yan family, everything will be a foregone conclusion, and he will gradually change his mind in the future.But for more than ten years, the young master still likes the general.

"Yingle." Shen Ditang touched Yingle's hair helplessly, "I have lived with Yanor for so many years. As a friend, I know nothing more than your position in Yanor's heart. Do you know that Yanor knew that The news of your death made me so drunk all day long. If it wasn't for the Yan family, I wish I could go with you."

Xu Yingle's heart ached. Although Yan Or could drink, he didn't like the feeling of being drunk, so every time he just tasted it, "he"

"He was thinking about you all the time. He spent his days drunk. First he was scolded by me, and then he was beaten up by Jing Huan before he regained his composure. However, since then, his temperament seems to have changed. The smiling and lazy boy I remember is very different."

Xu Yingle listened sullenly, he never knew that their youthful friendship was so important to Yan Or, he thought that Yan Or would be sad for a while after he left.

"Fortunately, Jing Huan brought you news not long ago. These days, he has been planning how to come to Xizhou to see you early while avoiding the old emperor's suspicion. During this time, I looked at him and smiled. The number of times is more than the previous ten years combined."

Shen Ditang told all the news about Yan Or as much as he could, and he knew that Yingle still missed this person in his heart.

"I, I'm sorry for him." Xu Yingle thought that maybe he did something wrong. Over the years, the people who his wife arranged to guard him became more and more relaxed. It's not that he has no way to return to the imperial city, but he is afraid The oath he was forced to make that day was fulfilled, and he was also afraid that after he returned to the imperial city, he would find that Yan and the young master were also in love with each other, which would disturb a happy event.

"You must have your difficulties. I know that Yingle will not be so heartless. But, I want to ask, if Jing Huan hadn't seen you here, would you have told Yan or me that you were still alive?" Shen Ditang asked with a trembling voice.

Xu Yingle was quiet for a long time, then shook his head, "If Jing Huan hadn't found me, maybe I would just ask Qingcheng to find a good burial place for me when I was about to die."

"Even Qingcheng, wouldn't you want to tell him the truth about his biological father?" Shen Ditang felt a pain in his heart, Yingle was too cruel to others and himself.

If Jing Huan hadn't bumped into her by mistake, maybe he and Yan or would never have known the truth that Yingle was actually alive in this lifetime.

"If there is still strength at the time of death, Qingcheng would still want to know. I would probably say, but Qingcheng would probably not go to the imperial city to find Ah Or even if she knew the truth."

After Xu Yingle finished speaking, he saw the face of the young master opposite was pale, and he knew that he might hurt the other party's heart by doing so, but there was nothing he could do, "Young master, you can blame me."

"Strange, how can I not blame you for doing this, you know I almost never see you again." Shen Ditang shed tears silently.

Xu Yingle didn't know what to say, so she took an embroidered handkerchief to help the young master wipe off the tears on his face, he was really cruel.

After the coachman put the carriage away, he asked Tang Mo to send a message, saying that he had something to report. After seeing Tang Zisheng, he took out the letter that Yan Cheng had entrusted to him, "Master Tang, this is from our master. Letter, I hope adults will burn it after reading it."

"A letter from Prime Minister Yan?" Tang Zisheng took it and glanced at Qingcheng. The future father-in-law must know his identity, so why would he write to him properly instead of sending a letter to Uncle Xu and Qingcheng.

"Yes, our master said that this letter must be delivered to you personally."

"Then Prime Minister Yan has something else to say." Tang Zisheng opened the letter, the envelope felt very thin, and there was only a piece of letter paper inside, with only a few numbers on it.

"No, the master just told you to send this letter to the adults. Now that the letter has been delivered, the villain will go down first."

Tang Zisheng withdrew his gaze, nodded and let go, then looked at Qingcheng speechlessly.

Seeing Tang Zisheng's strange expression, Xu Qingcheng thought it was his father, whom he had never met, who wrote a letter to curse people, "But what bad things did the letter say?"

"Let's see for yourself." Tang Zisheng curled his lips. This future father-in-law is really interesting, so he sent such a letter here.

Xu Qingcheng took it, and on the thin letter paper there were [-] big characters written on it, "Before I arrive at Xanthium, your marriage with Qingcheng will be put on hold."

"Didn't he know that we originally planned to have a wedding after the spring?" Xu Qingcheng's thoughts were clear, and what he thought after reading it was that their wedding date was scheduled for a long time later.

"Prime Minister Yan is in the imperial city, and although he has eyeliners in Xizhou, he will not be in such a remote place in Cang'er County. At the same time, in order to avoid the possibility of exposing me, he will not send people to Cang'er County to investigate We, he probably only heard a few words from General Jing about the matter between us."

"Then it means that he wants to watch the ceremony."

"I can't say for sure, maybe I want to be a villain. When I found out that I was worthy of you, I planned to beat the mandarin duck with a stick, and then take you back to Beijing to find another good son-in-law." Tang Zisheng said it was serious.

"No, our marriage was approved by my father, and the words of my parents and matchmaker are all agreed and cannot be changed."

Xu Qingcheng believes that his father must be a person who knows the current affairs, and he will definitely not be like this, "Also, if you are not good enough, it is because I am not good enough for you."

Even though there is a father who is the prime minister behind him now.But he grew up in a small village and had no education from a wealthy family.

If it weren't for his father who taught him how to read and write all these years, he might be similar to the little brother who grew up in the countryside.

In terms of knowledge, bearing, brains and skills, he is not as good as Zisheng in everything, and he is not worthy of it.

"Why do you underestimate yourself? My family is in the middle of nowhere. If I don't have this official position, I'm still a merchant. I'm a scholar, farmer, businessman, and merchant. In terms of status, I can't compare with Qingcheng. Besides, my reputation in Nanzhou is extremely bad. Brothers from good families don’t bother to marry me, if I don’t sacrifice my life, I’m afraid I will be a bachelor for the rest of my life.”

"The girl and brother from Nanzhou really have bad eyesight, you are so good."

"That's only for you. If it's for other people, you can ask Zhou Nanchuan to see if I'm a good person."

"How can anyone say that he is not a good person, and we were not discussing the matter of Prime Minister Yan before, so why did we abduct who is worthy of who?" Xu Qingcheng thought that he would always go astray inexplicably when chatting with Tang Zisheng.

"Okay, let's talk about Prime Minister Yan." Tang Zisheng put the letter just now on the newly lit candle in the house and prepared to burn it.

But he didn't want the letter to be roasted on the fire, and a few lines of words gradually appeared, Tang Zisheng quickly took the letter away from the flames, "Why is there a secret message? If I accidentally throw it into the brazier, wouldn't it be I can't see the rest of the letter."

"Just now the coachman told you to burn it after reading it. The fifteen words on the letter are not a big secret, but they are going to be burned. Looking at it now, it turns out to be a reminder."

"It's still Qingcheng and smart." Tang Zisheng should have thought of it, but the fifteen words in the letter really made him a little distracted. This secret letter is probably also a test for him by that cheap father-in-law.

If he didn't find out what was hidden in the letter, he was afraid that when Prime Minister Yan came, he would really worry about whether he would be able to marry Qingcheng smoothly.

"What was written in the letter this time?" Xu Qingcheng saw that the handwriting that appeared after the fire was all names, and he didn't recognize them.

"It's the list of Prime Minister Yan's informants in Xizhou." Tang Zisheng thought that this Yan Cheng was really generous, and he gave him such a big gift before meeting him. It seems that getting along with him in the future should not be too bad.

"He means you can also use the informant from Western State?"

"He gave me all the informants from Xizhou." If he finds out, it will be his, if not, it will be a waste of money, and he will lose his wife and lose his army.
