Poor family mother and son

This village chief's wife is really interesting. If you say she is brave, she nods and bows cautiously; but if you say she is timid, she dares to tell the magistrate "don't forget".

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the village head outside asking his wife in a low voice: "What's the matter? What did you hear? Did Marquis Linyang blame us for not entertaining us well? Did the magistrate think we were entertained too much?"

"What are you talking about!" The village head's wife was so excited that she couldn't hold back her voice: "That's not important! He's a high-ranking official, so he doesn't care about that, what he said is a big deal!
Let me tell you, the Marquis of Linyang said that he wants to accept the dried seafood from us, and the magistrate also agrees, we can make money right away, so please inform the village immediately!
Oh mom!By the way, go to the son-in-law's village and tell me, so that the in-laws can also prepare early, the more the better;
And acorns, too!Hurry up and pick it up before there is any official notice, oh, hurry up! "

The village chief was at a loss: "Collect? Acorns? Who is it?"

Village head's wife: "Your Majesty Linyang!"

Village head: "Marquis Linyang? What's wrong with her?"

Village head's wife: "Oh! Master Hou wants to collect seafood and acorns!"

Village head: "What? Who are you talking about?"

Village head's wife: "Master Hou!"

Village head: "What's wrong with her?"

……

The two walked away while talking.

The house is simple, there is a door between the inside and the outside, and the yard is not big. Although the village chief suppressed his voice, he was confused by what the woman said, so he couldn't control the volume.

Chu Qing and Guo Zhengbiao stared wide-eyed.

Suddenly, the village head shouted again from outside: "You old woman! How dare you! It is a serious crime for you to eavesdrop on an official's speech. How dare you ask him to hurry up?! It's over, it's over, it's over... ..."

Zhuo Yao had no choice but to go over outside the door: "Okay! My Lord Hou doesn't blame me, you guys go away quickly, with such a loud voice, our Lord Hou will be disturbed to death! Hurry up and prepare lunch!"

Chu Qing was relieved.

Fishermen by the sea live against the sea breeze every day, and their voices are not rough. Even if they lower their volume, their voices are not low. Just this shock, without a good heart, it is easy to scare something wrong.

"Oh, it's considered gone." Chu Qing complained.

"Marquis Linyang really has no airs at all," Guo Zhengbiao complained, "No one is afraid of you!"

In fact, he wanted to say that he lost his airs because of the trouble.

It's not that you have to put on airs when you're an official, but that as long as you're a human being, it's easy to push your boundaries. If you don't keep a distance from them, they will be endless and intensified.

Why does the sitting doctor look more unpredictable than the fortune teller?Just keep your distance, otherwise you will be pestered by the patient's family members endlessly, and don't do anything for a day.

Chu Yuan was not qualified to speak at the side, so he rolled Guo Zhengbiao with his big white eyes. After Guo Zhengbiao was tossed, his eyelids turned hard towards Chu Qing, which meant: Come on, put on airs!Run against the dead surname Guo!
Chu Qing pretended not to see it, but picked up the topic just now: "Master Guo said just now that another ration was collected a year ago?"

Guo Zhengbiao quickly got serious, this time it was the Marquis of Linyang who brought up the topic again, just now he blamed the village chief's wife for being out of tune, and interrupted the breakthrough point he had finally found.

Guo Zhengbiao said: "I just want to tell you about this matter, not about collecting food. I want to remind you that it is time and not time for you to come back now."

Chu Qing: "Oh? How do you say it?"

Guo Zhengbiao: "You have been missing for more than a month, and the crown prince has not shown up. Someone has proposed to shake your title, so it is a good thing for you to come back now; but..."

Guo Zhengbiao talked about the four princes and Zheng Chunqiu's gambling and offending big businessmen, big businessmen donating money but not grain, grain merchants hoarding, grain prices skyrocketing, grain production areas in the north had to levy additional grains, and so on.

Then, the country of Voss took advantage of the opportunity to launch an attack but failed, and also said about paying tribute in advance, and then said:

"Now is the time to ask for money and food. Although Worth does not need to pay tribute of grain, he still has to pay tribute of one thousand Worth horses and one hundred thousand head of cattle and sheep;

Adding 30 taels of silver and 30 bolts of raw silk, this is not a small amount. Now the grain merchants and salt merchants are the most troubled.

Therefore, with the idea of ​​using tribute in exchange for food from the grain merchants, the imperial court received the Voss mission, and the mission did not mention the tribute when it came, but put forward conditions first..."

Chu Qing: "What conditions?"

Guo Zhengbiao glanced at Chu Yuan, and Chu Qing said it was okay.

But seeing Guo Zhengbiao's cautious attitude, Chu Qing understood: If there is no accident, there must be an accident.

Even if Chu Yuan is chased away, Chu Yuan will not leave, lonely man and widow... Marquis Linyang is a woman!

Guo Zhengbiao said: "They want to discuss with you!"

Chu Qing: "With me?"

This is so strange!The Ministry of Rites is so big, there is no one left?

Chu Qing is now a person without real power who has been put on the shelf, what should I talk to her about?
Chu Qing asked: "What are you talking about with me? I'm missing!"

Guo Zhengbiao said: "They don't believe it. They said that they must see you first, and then talk about it. They said...they said that King Voss still wants to marry you!"

Chu Yuan: "I abolished him!"

Chu Qing was also confused: "Has the imperial court agreed?"

How is this possible, why did Chu Qing not get any wind?
Guo Zhengbiao said in a low voice: "This is gossip; the people of Voss must see you. They suspect that the imperial court will not let you show up, so they just spend time in the post;

The imperial court has nothing to do with them. Although they are not used to their faults, they can't do too much;
I have a nephew of my own family who works as a servant in the Kyoto post office, and is responsible for running errands for the envoys upstairs and downstairs;

One day, the boy was embarrassed by the Voss, saying that the toilet paper provided by the station was not soft enough, so he was slapped a few times, and sent to buy Bao Qingxiang's fine cotton handkerchief, saying that it must be Bao Qingxiang's;
My nephew went to the Shangguan to explain that his Shangguan was just a petty official. According to the court's attitude, he naturally didn't want to get into trouble, so he reasoned that my nephew didn't take good care of him, and he should solve the problem by himself;

My nephew had to buy it with his own money, and when he bought it, he was going to send it to the toilet, but he heard the people in Voss talking and laughing inside;
They said that if King Voss can really marry you this time, they will have to wipe their asses away when Bao Qingxiang's handkerchief arrives... They say it is a reward from the future queen, so enjoy it in advance!

My nephew can understand Worth's language, not only can listen, but can also speak, more authentic than the interpreter, but he can't write;

He thought it was a great matter, so he sent me a message, telling me to be careful, because I have a relationship with you, and if what the Voss say is true, you will definitely get into trouble;

And the people you associate with will have a hard time..."

Guo Zhengbiao paused at this point.

I understand clearly.

The people from Voss came to ask for that again, probably as a kind of exchange condition, to exchange for some benefits——

For example, if you declare that you don’t want to go to war with us, then either give us Chuqing, or reduce the tribute standard, or don’t give Chuqing food or something.

But if you want to be clear, you are scruples about clear guns, or you want to go to Voss to make guns for them.

But no matter what, as long as the Vos people express their intention to marry Chu Qing, they will definitely put Chu Qing in danger again.

Unless Chu Qing can bombard Voss again and win the battle, anyone who has anything to do with Chu Qing will definitely be classified as Chu Qing's "partner", which will damage his future.

"So," Guo Zhengbiao concluded, "it's not the right time for you to come back."
