Liu Zhihua looked proud of Guaibao, his daughter was not only cute but also very smart, she must have accumulated many blessings in her previous life instead.
Erya felt her little sister was very smart, so she clapped her hands excitedly and said with a smile: "My Xiaojiao is very smart, she knows things, she knows things, she will definitely be a talented girl in the future."
"Big brother is awesome!" Xiao Li also shouted.
Jiaojiao shook his head with a smile, and explained: "I learned this from Brother Song Dong's mouth. He had known medicinal ingredients since he was a child. He knows the medicinal ingredients very well, and he knows more than me."
Erya still felt that my sister was amazing, so she quickly retorted: "She is also gentle and intelligent, who can memorize so much knowledge. If someone else told my brother so much, my brother would definitely not be able to remember it."
Liu Zhihua nodded and smiled when he heard that, and said in agreement: "Arya's right, we're still smart with our tiny heads."
Not long after, the sacks and baskets that were carried, including Xiao Li's basket, were all filled to the brim.
Liu Zhihua had originally planned to send him back by himself, but he was worried that the children would be here alone, so he asked Xiao Li to bring him back and throw him in the courtyard, and then come up with an empty bag to pick up the others.
...
Meanwhile, in the city.
Zhao Family.
The officials around two days ago had retreated, and Liu Quan was waiting at the door with his guards.
After a while, a simple carriage stopped slowly, Zhao Shen lifted the curtain, and walked down with a tired face.
He had been on the road non-stop for the past few days, sending the first lady to the capital, and had only returned yesterday. Before he could rest well, he received the news that the governor of Yantie would come here to investigate, and he rushed back before dawn.
Liu Quan rushed forward and raised his hand, "Master, please slow down."
Zhao Shen raised his hand to rest on his arm, and rubbed his eyebrows while asking, "Liu Quan, what's wrong?"
"Master, this is Li Huai's grandson. He found out from somewhere that Miss Murong was about to enter the palace. She was afraid you would look after her, so she sent her captor to Ancheng to invite Mr. Sun, the governor of Yantie. The goal is to borrow Mr. Sun's hand." Suppressing the Zhao family."
Finally speaking, Liu Quan spoke with slight disdain.
It was only the sixth ranked governor, even if he was fair and selfless, he did not look backstage at the current county magistrate's office. The second mistress entered the palace to become a concubine, and her uncle gained the trust of the second mistress, so these little officials dared to come to Zhao's house to be presumptuous.
Zhao Shen climbed the stairs and asked casually, "Where is Lord Sun now?"
Liu Quan hurriedly replied: "Said that I settled in the post station last night, and went to Yamen this morning."
Zhao Shen stopped, then frowned.
It could be said that Mr. Sun was not good at oil and salt, and it just so happened that he was in charge of important tasks like salt and iron, and the magistrate of the territory was very depressed when dealing with him.
Since he was able to deal with this matter, it was rather difficult to deal with this matter.
Liu Quan saw his uncle stop, with a sad expression on his face, and he did not understand why his uncle was worried, not that he was just a small sixth rank official.
Zhao Shen raised his hand and pinched the middle of his eyebrows, and asked lightly, "Where is Second Master?"
Liu Quan hesitated to speak, and said honestly: "Second Master is in Aunt's house in the backyard."
Zhao Shen shook his sleeves and let out a cold snort, "A dog can't change to eat dirt."
Zhao Shen went straight to the backyard.
Liu Quan hurriedly followed, feeling in his heart that the second master was acting too recklessly.
His uncle had wandered around several times for the second master's affairs, and had even asked someone to invite the old imperial physician pensioner to help take care of the second master. The second master had just recovered, and he knew that his uncle had never greeted him when he returned. Currently, he is still with his wife and concubine. There is no point in messing around in the room.
As soon as Zhao Shen entered the backyard, he heard the voices of a man and a woman teasing, and his expression became gloomy.
"Grandfather, stop making trouble."
"Don't hide the beauty, come to me to kiss her..."
The voice inside the room stopped abruptly, followed by a sound of rummaging through the box.
After a while, Zhao Er ran out in a messy outfit. She felt embarrassed when she saw her eldest brother. In the past, his eldest brother would go to the study when he returned. Why did he come to the backyard today?
Shame was shame, Zhao Er smiled flatteringly, and asked, "Sister, why are you free to return today?"
Liu Quan was surprised, didn't he tell the second master last night that his uncle was back today?
Zhao Shen's face darkened, and he raised his hand and was slapped.
Snapped up!
Zhao Er was stunned by the punch. He covered his face angrily and raised his head to ask, but seeing the gloomy gaze of his elder brother, he opened his mouth and held back.
"Come into my study, or I'll break your leg."
Zhao Shen dropped these words, then turned around and left.
Liu Quan hurriedly winked with the second master, then hurriedly chased away the second master.
Seeing the figure of his elder brother leaving, Zhao Er rubbed her aching cheek, and cursed in a low voice: "What a bull, you must be angry at the magistrate, and when you return, you will be angry at the magistrate, you will vent your anger on me to find dignity, and you will survive in the nest."
Although she was reluctant in her heart, she was afraid that her elder brother would actually do something, so she walked towards the study hall casually.
In the workspace,
After Zhao Shen sat down, Liu Quan brought him a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Master, your favorite Biluochun."
"Please, don't watch me here." Zhao Shen took the teacup and waved his hand.
Liu Quan glanced at the picture scroll on the table, and said with a smile: "Then don't bother me, my subordinates don't go far, if you need anything, contact me."
Zhao Shen took a sip of tea and let out a faint "hmm" sound.
Liu Quan glanced at the table again, then retreated with a smile.
When Zhao Shen put down his teacup, he saw a picture scroll on the table. He hadn't been home for a long time, and it wasn't his.
Out of curiosity, he put down the teacup, took it casually, and opened it to take a look.
What is seen is a portrait.
Zhao Shen was engrossed in attention, his junkyard rolled up, then hurriedly rolled up the portrait and kept it.
.
But I don't want an abnormal heartbeat for the person in the painting today.
Zhao Shen took a sip of tea to suppress the dry and hot taste in his body.
At this moment, Zhao Er entered.
"Brother, what do you want from me?"
Looking at his younger brother, Zhao Shen's face suddenly turned cold, and he didn't want to talk to him, so he said softly: "Mr. Sun who took charge of your official salt matter is not easily fooled, the magistrate of the territory has nothing to do with him, go and clean up now After cleaning up, go to Yamen and turn yourself in."
If you turn yourself in, at most you will be jailed after being reviewed by a District Judge, and at worst you will be jailed for several years.
If the officials in charge find out that the case involves more than 10,000 taels of silver, but they must be tortured at the Dali Temple to claim to be the one who traded personal salt, and they will be punished as accomplices and accomplices, then it is absolutely impossible to survive.
Zhao Er turned pale when she heard that, and hurriedly asked: "Brother, didn't you help me deal with this matter? Why did Mr Sun appear again?"
Zhao Shen raised his hand angrily and threw his teacup, shouting: "I have received the news in the county town, but you still know nothing, you still know nothing, You just know how to have fun all day, I think you should die too!"
