Chapter 391
It has been more than half a month since Zhongzhou Qinglisi Langzhong took office, and it stands to reason that most of the prefectures and counties in Zhongzhou should have been transferred.

The checking of the accounts by the Ministry of Accounts is mostly a formality. It takes a month to check the accounts for twelve months a year, which is a lot of time wasted. If you are confused, you can be a favor, and you can still eat a mouthful of oil after a trip.

However, the newly appointed Shen Langzhong doesn't seem to be familiar with this kind of truth that even low-ranking officials understand.

Perhaps it was because of a dispute with the magistrate's son when he first set foot in Fucheng. Shen Qianqiu has stayed in Ru'an Mansion for half a month now and is not willing to move. He also checked all the accounts that should be checked. So there was no intention of leaving to go elsewhere.

……

In a large mansion on the north side of the Fucheng, a young man in luxurious clothes was stomping back and forth. A stern look flashed across the man's face from time to time, which made his handsome face a lot less attractive.

Just as he became more and more anxious, the middle-aged man who was sitting quietly at the side finally couldn't bear it anymore, frowned and said:
"Couldn't you be more peaceful, why can't you sit still for such a small matter?"

Hearing this, the man stopped, walked quickly to the table and sat down, picked up the tea and put it down again, with a worried expression on his face:
"Father, how can you sit still? That guy is currently inspecting the surrounding counties. If he finds out that there is a problem with the accounts, don't we..."

Before the young man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the middle-aged man:
"How many times have I told you, please keep your voice down. All the officials under the Runan Mansion have already said hello to their father. Even if there is any mistake, we will never find out about our father and son. You just put your heart in your heart." .

Also, you have been fooling around outside all day, how long has it been since you went to the main room?Let me tell you, Juanxiu is no better than other concubines in the house, you can come and go as you please, she is the adopted daughter of Minister Zou from the household department.

The previous turmoil caused many big trees to fall, and some of them were the backers of my Zhou family. Now that the trees have fallen and the monkeys are scattered, you and I, father and son, must all point at that little girl.

You have been messing around outside for so many years, and my father never asked about it. Now it is time to calm down. The turmoil in the capital has not yet subsided. It is very likely that the Minister of the Household Department will retire at the end of the year. At that time, Lord Zou will be the No. 1 in his place. select.

Listen to my father's persuasion, don't care whether that Juanxiu is Zou Shilang's adopted daughter or concubine, just treat her well, and temporarily endure for the sake of glory and wealth, and don't be shabby. "

At the end of Zhou Wei's speech, there was a hint of embarrassment between the lines, which made Zhou Kang beside him curious. Hearing this tone, it seemed that the father had come from here.

But even if he was given a hundred guts, he didn't dare to say this, so he could only nod honestly and said:
"The boy knows."

Just after Zhou Kang finished speaking, he seemed to think of something again, so he leaned closer and whispered:

"Father, I think that Shen Qianqiu will be a disaster sooner or later. Do you want me to find some bandits to intercept him along the way? Don't worry, their hands and feet are very clean..."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a crisp "pop", Zhou Kang covered his cheeks and looked at his father in disbelief.

Zhou Zuo pointed at Zhou Kang with a trembling finger and said:

"How did I give birth to such a dishonest thing like you?"

Zhou Kang's slap was inexplicable, but he didn't dare to disobey in the slightest. He lowered his head and said with a gloomy expression:

"The boy knew he was wrong."

"roll!"

……

Zhou Kang walked out of the main hall and walked all the way towards the gate of the mansion, muttering in his mouth as he walked:

"This old thing, it's not uncommon for you to do black hands. What kind of medicine did you take today?"

At this moment, a seductive woman walked towards her. The woman was in her early thirties, seven or eight years older than Zhou Kang. Apart from her enchanting figure, she also had a charming portrait.

Seeing the furious Zhou Kang, the woman said:
"Sir, where are you going?"

Zhou Kang was in a fit of anger, and when he looked up, he found that it was a woman he usually regarded as a trash, so he said angrily:
"Women, why do you care so much?"

The woman lowered her eyes and said:
"Come back tonight?"

Zhou Kang didn't answer, and he didn't leave the house with his head.

……

From the north gate of Ru'an Prefecture, a man and a woman came with a horse, it was Shen Qianqiu and Li Mizhen who had been away from the city for many days.

Although Li Mizhen didn't wear the self-deceiving boy's attire, it was inconvenient for her daughter to show her face in public after all, so she wore a bamboo hat covered with white gauze and entered the city. The woman couldn't help but lifted the veil and sniffed the city Airway:
"Brother, it's the smell of roast chicken."

Shen Qianqiu, who had worked hard for several days and still got nothing, was still depressed, but after hearing the woman's words, his depression suddenly subsided a lot, and he smiled slightly:

"I happen to be hungry too, let's go and eat first."

The two of them had just walked along the street, when they saw Young Master Zhou with a gloomy face, Li Mizhen had never liked this young man who had no good looks, so he pulled down his veil at this moment, pretending not to see it.

Although Shen Qianqiu didn't like this person, but at least the scene had to be passable, so he cupped his hands and said:

"Young Master Zhou is in a hurry, where are you going?"

Zhou Kang didn't notice the plainly dressed two people at all at first. Hearing this, he stopped at this moment. After seeing each other's appearance clearly, his face became more and more ugly. He glanced at the woman covered in white gauze beside Shen Qianqiu, and said directly arrive:
"Walk in the kiln, why, come together?"

The woman spit secretly when she heard the words, she became more and more disgusted with the handsome boy in front of her, Shen Qianqiu was much calmer, and said with a slight smile:

"I still have business to do, so I won't disturb Mr. Zhou's elegance."

Zhou Kang didn't take the opportunity to find fault again, he cupped his hands, turned and left.

……

In the restaurant, Li Mizhen, who took off his bamboo hat, gritted his teeth, "This nasty guy, he doesn't restrain himself at all in front of ladies. You must not learn from him when he says such obscene words. Lane, and say it shamelessly."

The woman's tone, not the younger sister's attitude towards her brother, is clearly a warning from the lady to her husband. The woman obviously noticed this too, and her cheeks turned red as soon as she finished speaking.

Seeing this, Shen Qianqiu showed an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth, didn't say much, just gave a light "um", then picked up the tea and drank it as if nothing had happened.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit awkward, Li Mi really didn't know if it was really hungry or something, he lowered his head to eat the whole time, while Shen Qianqiu was more natural, adding water to each other's food from time to time, and the meal was harmonious.

……

After nightfall, Shen Qianqiu sat alone in the study and looked down at the file. The father and son of Zhou's work was impeccable, so Mr. Shen couldn't find anything. It's not his turn.

Thinking of this, Shen Qianqiu rubbed the center of his brows. At the beginning, he boasted in front of the prince and won the first prize of three consecutive awards. Now he has achieved it, but he is still far away from the number one minister in the opponent's mouth.

The Shen family now leans against a big tree to enjoy the shade, but if they don't have decent ability, they will still be looked down upon after all. Although they know that the prince is not the one who turns his back on others, but out of the arrogance of a scholar, Shen Qianqiu doesn't want to take it easy. throw in the towel.

At this time, the door was knocked softly, and Li Mizhen's voice came from outside the door:
"Brother, someone is asking to see you outside."
