Chapter 151: Red Apricot Out of the Wall?(1/2)
Qiao Guxin kept using his chopsticks. When he was almost done eating, he said slowly, "There's no rush."
Wiping the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, what does it matter if there is a small kitchen on the left or right?
She is always indispensable when it comes to eating.
After the three of them finished their meal, Qiao Guxin took the incense beads to look at the dowry. Now they were all stored in her own small warehouse. Looking at the piles of things, Qiao Guxin patted them casually. The box next to him, "Suddenly I felt that I was as rich as my country."
"Girl, don't talk nonsense." Nianxiang glanced around to make sure no one was watching, then patted her heart to express her relief.
Qiao Guxin chuckled, lowered her head and continued to look at the gift list.
On the other side, Wang Si came in from the outside and saw that Shen Qiuhe's face was not very good-looking. Then he even breathed carefully, "Master."
Shen Qiuhe snorted, "You have become a useful person now."
Wang Si quickly apologized and said, "What does it mean for a villain to be useful? It's not because of your face. If it were just the villain himself, how would the young lady know who the villain is?"
Shen Qiuhe turned aside, "Do I care about this?"
Wang Si nodded repeatedly. An official like Shen Qiuhe would definitely not care about the opinions of a housewife. Seeing Shen Qiuhe's face softening, Wang Si took another step forward, "However, it is true that the young lady has foresight. "
When entering the kitchen, Nianxiang deliberately went in first. It was impossible for the kitchen woman not to recognize the person in front of the madam. If nothing else, just look at the dress. Suddenly a first-class girl appeared. I understand, how can a kitchen manager not have such discernment?
But unexpectedly, no one greeted Nianxiang.
Nianxiang didn't say much, and as soon as he came in, he immediately made way for Wang Si.
As soon as Wang Si entered, the whole atmosphere in the kitchen was different. They were all flattering compliments, not to mention just one meal, or even an extra meal.
No one is a fool. Wang Si saw that the subordinates were negligent towards Qiao's original intention, while the subordinates saw Shen Qiuhe's respect for Qiao's original intention. They both knew what was going on, so they could live in peace with each other.
Shen Qiuhe snorted, and he knew that Qiao Guxin was thoughtful.
After talking about Qiao's old feelings, Wang Si reported again what happened in the court today.
Chu Han quoted the evidence there as conclusive, so the East Palace would naturally send people there to make a big rectification. Originally, this was all decided, but the Holy Emperor was now stable and able to speak, so he ordered the former Minister of Punishment to temporarily serve as the governor. , Dai Zui made meritorious service and captured all the officials involved in the interference case.
The case involved a wide range of matters, and the military camp had to go ahead to prevent the local garrison from rebelling. As for the officials to be held accountable, although Chu Hanyin was a special envoy, it was somewhat reluctant for officials above the county magistrate to use him.
Chu Hanyin thought that his rank was too low and he was young, so he was afraid that he would be dissatisfied.
Shen Qiuheyuan suggested to the East Palace that he should be recommended by the Ministry of Personnel, or that Gu Shangshu should go there in person, or that one of the officials could choose someone to go there.
But I didn't expect that the former Minister of Punishment was used.
If nothing happened to the Ministry of Punishment, it would definitely be enough for Shangshu to go and weigh it in person. But it turns out that he is a guilty person and ignores the law. If he says he has performed meritorious service for a crime, will he not be punished at all?
There are many talented people in the court, and this matter does not have to be done by him.
Simply ridiculous.
The ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government were all admonishing the Holy Father at this moment, but the matter was already considered imminent, and a moment's delay would give the criminals a moment to breathe and destroy the evidence.
After Wang Si reported the report, he couldn't help but muttered, "I don't know why this sage is so partial to Lord Ye?"
He was impunity, and he deliberately tried to find a way to give him a chance. It can be said that he used Jiangshan Sheji's money to save Mr. Ye.
Shen Qiuhe leaned back, and then snorted, "How can you and I figure out the Holy Emperor's thoughts? Go out and give instructions. No one can come in the study."
Wang Si responded, but he didn't understand what Shen Qiuhe was planning. The only ones who could enter Shen Qiuhe's study were the three masters in the family, and he didn't know who Shen Qiuhe was guarding against.
Shen Qiuhe also said that His Majesty's thoughts were unpredictable, and even he couldn't figure out Shen Qiuhe's thoughts when he looked at them.
Qiao Guxin stayed in the small warehouse for half a day, and then took a leisurely rest after reviewing the gift list.
Lying on the couch, her eyes were open. After a while, she got up, put on her coat, called the rosary to her, and asked her to go out and buy a few boys who could deliver messages, and placed them outside the Duke's Mansion. If you have anything to do in the future, you can tell them to do it.
This money does not need to be paid out of public funds, and naturally there is no need to report it to anyone.
Chu Hanyin didn't know what the court's arrangements were, and he couldn't sleep at the moment, so he asked Nianxiang to dress him up, and then led people directly to the study.
Wang Si was standing guard outside, watching Qiao Guxin walking towards this side from a distance, and quickly bent down to greet him, "Good morning, Madam."
After speaking, he straightened up and said, "Young lady, are you here to visit the master? The master is busy with official duties, and I have just been told that no one can disturb me."
After hearing this, Qiao Guxin frowned slightly, turned the handkerchief involuntarily, and looked at Wang Si with a half-smile, "I'm just passing by, Mr. Wang, don't be nervous."
"Speaking of which, I would like to thank Mr. Wang today." Qiao Guxin turned around and looked at Wang Si intently, "Now Mr. Wang will go to the kitchen in person, which saves me a lot of trouble."
"Young lady, your words are serious, this is what a villain should do." Wang Si lowered his head and responded quickly.
Qiao Guxin looked around in front of Shen Qiuhe's door, and then looked at Wang Si, "Master Wang is really a cheerful person, so there is one more thing that I have to trouble you with, Master Wang."
He asked Qiao Guxin to copy the female family members, but now they had to go to the public school to get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which meant that Wang Si had to run away and lie down again.
Because of the matter in the kitchen, Wang Si thought that Qiao's intention was to smoothen relations in the Duke's Mansion and make everyone look good, so he agreed without thinking.
After receiving Wang Si's permission, Qiao Guxin followed Wang Si there.
Rosary was out doing business, and Chanting incense had to serve Qiao Guxin, so Wang Si naturally had to go by himself.
Qiao Guxin returned to his courtyard, his brows furrowed tightly. Shen Qiuhe probably didn't want to see him if he continued to explain, but he didn't stop Wang Si from helping him. The reason here has to make people think deeply.
Or, if something happened, Shen Qiuhe would know about it and prepare to find him.
Qiao Guxin's face darkened slightly, "Read the incense, prepare the horse, and send a message to Mrs. Chu."
If she wants to see Qiao Wenqing, she is afraid that the people in the Hou family will guess something, so she can only ask the Chu family about this matter.
Nianxiang saw Qiao Guxin's solemn look, so she didn't dare to delay and hurried to hitch the horse.
After all, Qiao Guxin is the wife of the second wife. She doesn't have to report to Mrs. Gu when she goes out like her mother's family. Although the two wives are not separated, she can still take charge of this matter.
Wang Si brought the pen and ink from outside. The people below said that they could just ask Wang Si to give it to them. Qiao Guxin was out now.
Wang Si scratched the back of his head in confusion. Qiao Guxin went over to ask him why he suddenly left the house and left in such a hurry.
When he returned to Shen Qiuhe, the people below said that Shen Qiuhe was waiting for him.
When Wang Si came in, Shen Qiuhe had already packed up the official documents in front of him. He crossed his arms and was looking at Wang Si, as if he had been waiting for a while.
Wang Sixin said, "Master, the young lady asked me to go to the palace to collect things. I don't want to delay the official business."
"She only asked you to get the things?" Shen Qiuhe suddenly interrupted before Wang Si could finish his words.
It wasn't until Wang Si nodded that Shen Qiuhe slowly asked, "What is she doing now?"
Wang Si couldn't help but curled his lips, and said that he wouldn't let Qiao Guxin come over, but he couldn't help but inquire about other people's news, "They have gone out."
After hearing this, Shen Qiuhe stood up suddenly, and then asked Qiao how he explained his old feelings to Wang Si?
Waiting for Wang Si to speak out the conversation, Shen Qiuhe looked at Wang Si coldly, "How long have you been staying in Dali Temple? You can't even guard against a woman?"
Qiao Guxin was not interested in writing at all, but came to inquire about information.
Because, even though she was newlywed, she was still thinking about someone else in her heart.
Wang Si was scolded by Shen Qiuhe before he reacted. He said that he always felt that Qiao's words were hidden, as if there was something hidden in his words, but as expected, he was taken advantage of again.
Now, without Shen Qiuhe's explanation, people should quickly find out the whereabouts of Qiao Guxin.
Qiao Guxin definitely couldn't go to the Chu family's door. After February 2, the weather was not as cold as before, so they made an appointment in the teahouse.
Mrs. Chu came quickly. Seeing the curtain lifted, Qiao Guxin immediately stood up and said, "Mrs."
Mrs. Chu nodded slightly. After all, she was no longer the little girl she used to be. She always replied, "Mrs. Shen Er."
A name makes each other farther apart.
Standing here, I have a feeling that things are different and people are different.
Qiao Guxin looked away and made a gesture of invitation.
Mrs. Chu's eyes are swollen now, and her breath has a thick nasal sound. It looks like she has cried.
Qiao Gu's heart was a little heavy. It seemed that something big had happened to Chu Hanyin.
After the two sat down, Mrs. Chu did not show any courtesy and said directly, "My Chu family cannot repay Mrs. Shen's great kindness. No matter whether Han Yin can return safely or not, we will always remember this kindness in our hearts." of."
The evidence was sent by the escort agency, and Feng Zhaoan also told the truth to the Chu family, knowing that it was Qiao Guxin's handiwork.
If it weren't for Qiao Guxin's move, it would be questionable whether these evidences could be released.
"You are out of touch when you say this. Mr. Chu and Wen Qing are as close as brothers. I can do my best and that's what I should do." Qiao Guxin raised his hand to add some tea to Mrs. Chu.
"It's just that nowadays, the court is in turmoil, and we, the ladies in the house, are powerless. We only hope that Madam will take care of her health." Qiao Guxin really wanted to know what happened in the court now, but she couldn't ask directly because there was no position.
So now, I can only pretend to comfort Mrs. Chu.
Mrs. Chu wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "The Marquis Mansion is all about friendship, and I understand Mrs. Shen Er's wishes." Then she told the story about Lord Ye being appointed governor by the Holy Lord.
Who can rest assured that a person with a lot of bad records is allowed to uphold justice?
After Mrs. Chu got the news, her tears never stopped.
Qiao Guxin did not expect this news. The Holy Spirit really trusted Mr. Ye. Even if such a big case happened, he still gave Mr. Ye a chance to turn around.
"I'm late." Qiao Guxin was thinking about countermeasures when Shen Qiuhe suddenly opened the curtain and came in.
Mrs. Chu was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said, "Mr. Shen."
Shen Qiuhe waved his hand and motioned for Mrs. Chu to sit down, "My wife often mentioned to me the friendship between the Hou family and the Chu family. Now that Han Yin is in trouble, I will not stand by and watch."
Qiao Guxin didn't know why Shen Qiuhe suddenly appeared, but she would never try to dismantle Shen Qiuhe in front of Mrs. Chu.
