Poor family mother and son

The nephew eavesdropped on the "secret story of the latrine", even the secret investigation department did not know, and it has been three or four days since the letter was sent, and Guo Zhengbiao has been living like a year these days.

Only he and his nephew knew about this matter, and he dared not tell anyone, not even anyone to discuss it with.

Guo Zhengbiao felt that it was a pity that Chu Qing was such a person.

The first time I saw Chu Qing was more than three years ago.

At that time, facing a group of high-ranking officials who coveted her Worth jade mining rights, as well as mid-level and low-level officials who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal, Chu Qing took retreat as an advance and did not give up an inch of land, which amazed him very much.

Later, he deliberately inquired and learned about his behavior, and then cooperated with Chu Qing, and it has been more than three years now.

With the help of the Chu family, Mengyuan Mansion established and improved transportation channels and sales channels, which revitalized the economy of Mengyuan Mansion a lot and also added to his political achievements.

And as he interacted with the Chu family, he knew more about Chu Qing, especially after Chu Qing bombarded King Voss and made him a Marquis, Guo Zhengbiao admired him even more.

This is his sincere admiration for capable people, regardless of gender.

Guo Zhengbiao believes that the imperial court should have practical people.

He thinks that he is a practical person, but Lin Yanghou is more capable than him. He feels that the development of a country needs such people, and the more the better.

However, the strife within the court is not only unfair to individuals, but also really hinders the development of the country, which makes him feel very unbalanced.

Especially his relationship with Chu Qing is not bad, he doesn't want to see such a capable person being consumed, so he is very anxious to tell him about it.

Although the information is gossip, what if it is true?

What if the people of Voss really have this plan?

Anyway, if this happened to Guo Zhengbiao, he would have already been numb.

"Old Guo," Chu Qing bowed, "Thank you."

Chu Qing's tone was very sincere, and his expression was very solemn. This "thank you" was also from the bottom of his heart.

Guo Zhengbiao told him this news at this time, it was really a kind reminder, because he could have "fell ill" or "going out for inspection and not returning" the moment he heard that Chu Qing appeared on the beach in Mengyuan Prefecture.

Avoiding seeing is his best choice at this time, instead of staying and telling Chu Qing the inside story in detail. If Chu Qing is really "powerless" this time, it happens to be "drawing a clear line" between Guo Zhengbiao and him.

Therefore, if Guo Zhengbiao was really afraid of being implicated, he would not have this conversation with Chu Qing.

Regarding Guo Zhengbiao's "shake the title", Chu Qing also received a letter from Bai Jiaxing on the way back.

The general idea is that someone has discussed the timeliness of finding the whereabouts of Linyang Hou: when will it be found?What if I can't find, or find a body?
There is no news about the son of Marquis Linyang. Although the Hou Mansion said that the son of the Hou Mansion went to develop the "fish roe sauce" production variety, but his mother has disappeared. Why don't you see him doing anything?
Even if the Chu family rescued the victims in various places, playing the banner of the prince, but who saw him again?
In other words, if both Chu Qing's mother and son died, then there would be no heir to the title of Marquis of Linyang, at most a posthumous title would be given, and everything would be gone, similar to "National Elimination", with a better reputation.

This matter is easy to solve. Before coming back, Xiaobao had already told Chu Qing that he had a substitute, and Wei Chengyi could just tell Hou Ze to notify him. Several "May [-]th" could come out and impersonate at any time.

So right now, for Chu Qing, the title is not a big problem, the emperor ordered her to go to Beijing.

But what can I do if I order her to go to Beijing?Reception and negotiation are the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple, not her name as Lord Marquis.

That is to test her loyalty again?Want to force her to bombard King Voss at her own expense?
"During this time, have there been any minor conflicts on the border?" Chu Qing asked.

Guo Zhengbiao: "I don't know."

Guo Zhengbiao didn't get much information, so he's done talking about the business here.

The village head's wife came and said that lunch was ready, and asked when it was time to serve. Chu Qing invited Guo Zhengbiao to have dinner together: "Anyway, I'm already here, why are you rushing back? It doesn't matter whether there is a guard of honor or not. Someone has to prepare the door, don't worry!"

The emperor even ordered that when Chu Qing was found, he would be escorted to the capital immediately. Are you afraid that there will be no guard of honor?

Lunch was eaten at the village head's house. This time, the village head gave Zhang a good meal. Many villagers went to the seaside to pick and pry in the ice in spite of the cold, and got back a lot of fresh shellfish.

Faced with the situation of what to eat for breakfast and what to eat for lunch, Chu Qingquan didn't see it.

In fact, food and clothing are not important to Chu Qing, a person who lives with his head on his waistband all day long can't chew dragon meat very well.

Of course, Chu Qing didn't eat others for nothing, so he asked the Chu family boy to give him 100 taels of silver, two big fat pigs and two hundred catties of soybean oil.

The population of this small fishing village is less than 300 households, and the two big fat pigs are still two-year-old pigs weighing more than [-] catties each, which really makes the villagers very happy.

You know, not many villagers in fishing villages may be able to eat pork during the Chinese New Year.

Don't think that they eat seafood every day, and seafood is also meat. In fact, with the current productivity and their crude fishing boats, their daily income is not much more than that of catching the sea.

They have to buy clothes and food with the money they go to sea, and it is hard to keep up with food and clothing. Therefore, eating pork is a luxury for them.

The village chief also dared to bring out the shochu that he would not drink on weekdays as a treat - the prefects were all polite to Linyanghou, and that was the greatest guarantee.

Even though the villagers can sell fish to the Chu family workshop, the village head knows well: it's just a business, and he just treats him as a noble person in his heart, and he can't have anything to do with him.

On the contrary, the attitude towards these big figures depends on the winks of the local magistrates and magistrates.

Sending Guo Zhengbiao away, Chu Qing also waited until the boys brought recent news from various places.

The Chu family's more than 1000 mu of land in Wukeshu Village, Xingtang County, Jizhou Province, and Qiusheng's family have both escaped the food tax increase.

As for the Chu family, of course no one dared to conscript; Qiusheng didn't need to pay the grain because he was a recruit.

Xinlunzhou is a low-yielding area of ​​grain, and there is no additional tax. However, the warehouse of the Chu family has also changed to selling glass products this year, which has not affected the income.

It’s just that at the Hope Primary School in Linyang County, babies are thrown at the door almost every day during the month of Chinese New Year. In the future, there will be two classes directly. Five women will have to be hired to take care of the children, and five sheep will be brought from the pasture to provide milk for them. .

However, Baijia Xing said in the letter that he issued "both parents died, no relatives and no reason" certificates for all these children in the county government, so as to prevent the possibility of someone coming to recognize their relatives when they are raised in the future.

Bai Jiaxing said: "If you can throw it away, don't worry about going back."

He was afraid that these people would rely on and misrepresent Chu Qing in the future.

People's hearts are not ancient.
