Poor family mother and son

The emperor now has new plans, so he didn't really issue a decree to investigate the method of refining refined salt.

After the inspector censor met Chu Qing, anyway, he had a general understanding of the salt field, so he didn't ask for a visit to the workshop, but said: "Marquis Linyang, the emperor has an order for you."

Chu Qing hurriedly stood at attention and listened attentively, only to hear the inspector censor say: "The emperor said: 'Chu Qing has worked so hard on official affairs for many years, now it's easier to take care of the children;

After all, no matter whether it is public or private, she is always a mother, so she should worry more about her child's studies. As far as I remember, that child was awarded the title of scholar at the age of six. How can such a talent be wasted?
In my opinion, this year's provincial examination, the child should also take the test. No matter what the score is, it can always test whether the knowledge is solid or not. '"

What the hell is the emperor planning?

Although I don't know why, the emperor's oral order is also an imperial decree, so Chu Qing had no choice but to accept the order: "I obey the decree!"

After sending away the inspector censor, Chu Qing began to think about this matter.

Ordinarily, even though Chu Qing had resigned from other official positions, she was finally conferred the title of marquis. The emperor should have hoped that her son would not be successful.

Even if the emperor figured it out in the future and felt completely at ease with Chu Qing, and wanted to appoint Xiaobao, Xiaobao didn't need to participate in the imperial examinations to obtain qualifications, and he could definitely "enter office with grace".

What is the emperor doing?Could it be that the chicken thief emperor really found out with conscience that he thought Xiaobao was a good seedling?

"Why do I not believe it?" Chu Qing muttered.

After Chu Qing laid out the paper, she had to write a letter to Xiao Bao to tell him about this matter.

Now it's mid-June, the township examination is in August, Xiaobao is still on the island and hasn't come back, counting the days, there are only a few days to review.

It doesn't matter whether you pass the exam or not, with the emperor's oral order first, you always have to go through this cutscene.

Thinking of this, Chu Qing began to ponder again, should Xiaobao try his best to take the exam?

As far as Chu Qing knew, Xiaobao hadn't read the book seriously for a long time, so he probably wasn't in that state, even if he tried his best, he might not get a good result in the exam, right?
But what if?
In just a few years, the officialdom has undergone a second major shake-up. Maybe the emperor intends to select new people to fill the vacancies. Then Xiaobao's views on current affairs are not comparable to ordinary students, so maybe he can pass the exam?

Do you still have to answer seriously?
Also, with the child's unyielding character, can he not go all out?

So, before writing a complete character, a large ball of ink was already blotted out on the paper by Chu Qing. After thinking for too long, all the ink on the brush was absorbed by the rice paper.

"Dong dong!" Chu Zhuang knocked on the door: "Master, Mrs. Lou Zhixian please see me!"

On the coast of Ganzhou Prefecture, the county where Chu Qing is now is called Huai'en County. Except for meeting with Lou Zhi County when he opened the salt factory, Chu Qing has never had any contact with him.

So unfamiliar, what is his wife doing here?
"Marquis of Linyang," Mrs. Lou greeted as soon as she entered the door: "I have wanted to visit you for a long time, but I am afraid that it will delay your business. Are you busy now?"

Chu Qing wanted to say "No, I'm very busy", but she didn't. She had to understand her intentions, after all, the salt farm was on the territory under the jurisdiction of her husband.

"Mrs. Lou, please sit down. Ben Hou just happens to be free." Chu Qing said, and then ordered Chu Zhuang: "Serve tea, tell the outside, and tell the outside that Ben Hou will leave later."

Chu Zhuang responded "Yes..." and then "Yes", then turned around and went out—cooperating with the master to act, they were already familiar with it.

Chu Qing had no plans to go out, she said so because of Madam Lou's visit.

Otherwise, if the local official's wife came to visit, not to mention whether it would cause Chu Qing to collude or bribe the local officials again, just say that this person came here without an appointment, who knows what will happen?

If he beat around the bush and begged for nothing, wouldn't it delay Chu Qing's effort and affect Chu Qing's mood?
It's better to let the other party feel that there is no time to grind your teeth with her, and it is better to speak directly if you have something to say.

Madam Lou saw that Marquis Linyang was obviously about to go out, and it was to save her face that she left a moment for her to say something, so she overturned the original thought and tried to make a long story short.

Mrs. Lou: "Oh, it's still delaying Marquis Linyang, so let me just say it... Oh, it's like this, since I knew there was someone like you...

Ah, since I know that you are an official as a woman, I admire you very much, and I always ask people for news about you;

I am envious of a woman like you, who is more attractive than a man, and has always wanted to get acquainted with you, but there is no way;
Knowing that you came to our county this time, I wanted to get to know you and form a friendship with you in Jinlan..."

Chu Qing: "..."

Mrs. Lou: "But our master said that at our age, we are all going to be grandmothers, and we are not children, so it is not suitable;
I thought, it is not suitable for us to be old, but our children are at the right age, so it is suitable!

It's just that the other children in our family are all small, only the eldest daughter, who is 14 years old this year and will reach the end of the year, just the right age for the eldest son...

But, the son is not a girl, so he can't marry Jinlan, so why don't we become in-laws, what do you think?It can be regarded as all the thoughts of us adults who are loyal to Jinlan. "

Chu Qing: "!!!"

I go!What a big face!

I don't know you, and I don't plan to make any kind of golden orchid with you. Who would want to make a golden orchid with you?And let me be your in-laws, do I know you very well?Mature enough to catch up with my son?
Chu Qing asked in bewilderment, "How could Mrs. Lou have such an idea?"

This is really puzzling, Chu Qing felt that in Daxuan, he had never encountered such a family member of an official who did not regard him as an outsider.

Mrs. Lou said to herself, I am not recruited, who made you hurry to go out?Once you go out, you don't show up for more than a month, and I can't see you even if I want to see you!
Originally, I planned to chat with you more today, so I prepared a carload of words to trick you, but who made you have no time, I had to compress the content!

Mrs. Lou: "Oh, Mr. Chu, don't blame me, it's not that I heard that the son is going to take the exam this year;
If we wait for the title of the crown prince, then we will get married again, it's hard to say, isn't it?It seems that our family is going to cling to the Hou Mansion...

We really don't mean to cling, it's just that I just want to befriend you, it doesn't matter if the son can go to high school or not! "

Chu Qing was completely speechless.

She understood that although people honor her as Marquis of Linyang and Xiaobao as the eldest son, they don't really think highly of them in their hearts, otherwise they wouldn't say "I" one by one.

You know, the magistrate is only a seventh-rank official, and his wife doesn't even have an imperial order.

This is just one of them.

Second, people are clinging to Marquis Linyang, but they just don't admit it.

These two are not important, what Chu Qing wants to know is: How did she know that Xiaobao was going to take the exam?Have you been staring at the movement of the patrolling censor?
If so, it means that they had no plans to marry Marquis Linyang before, but they did after learning the content of the emperor's oral order.

In other words, they may not have been optimistic about Linyanghou before, but when they found out that the emperor cared about Linyanghou's son's imperial examination, they guessed that the emperor still valued Linyanghou, so the prospect of Linyanghou is still very good. At least, Shizi's prospects should be good.

In this way, they also started to cling, and now they have a relationship, which gives people the impression that "it started from the beginning", which not only takes advantage of the Marquis's mansion, but also does not affect the official reputation of the county magistrate.

Mother Hippie!Is Ben Hou so worthless?Is Ben Hou's son so worthless? !
