Chapter 256
This time the magistrate party can be said to be a perfect end.

Of course, the couple Wu Lixin and Mrs. Wu will be excluded.

In the evening, everyone came down from Guanyin Mountain, and after saying goodbye to each other, the other county magistrates went to stay in the post house, while Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu went to Wei's house to check out the place.

A good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, Cui Pu took Mu Jiaojiao out.

The two of them drove around in the small alley, and at some point they arrived at the door of a small and exquisite courtyard.Xiao Si'er went to knock on the door, and after a while, he heard a question from inside: "Who is it?"

"Brother Zheng, we are here." Cui Pu responded.

Hearing a creak, the courtyard door opened, and a familiar face appeared in front of him.

"Hey, aren't you the Cui Langjun who was on the boat back then?" Zheng Da who opened the door was stunned before he realized it.

"It's us." Cui Pu said with a smile, "Long time no see, today I brought my younger siblings to celebrate the New Year with you!"

"Oh, I can't do it!" Zheng Dalian waved his hand quickly, "You are the magistrate of the county! As an official, how can you give me New Year's greetings for an ordinary person? We should pay New Year's greetings to you. .” Then he saluted Cui Pu.

Cui Pu quickly grabbed his arm: "Brother Zheng, we are already here, do you intend to let us stand at the gate all the time?"

"Oh, look at me! When I saw that you were so happy, I forgot to let you in!" Zheng Dalian patted his head and quickly made way for him, "Come in and sit!"

After bringing the group of people in, he quickly shouted at the top of his voice, "Miss, come out and see who is here!"

Soon Mrs. Guan trotted out.When she saw Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao, her eyes immediately got wet, and she knelt down for them: "Grandpa, let us see you again!"

"Ma'am, what are you doing? Get up quickly!" Hong Dou hurried forward to help him up.Lady Guan invited them into the house and served them tea.

After several people were seated, Zheng Da said excitedly: "Actually, after we settled down in Yangzhou, we planned to visit you in Tianchang County and thank you. It's just that my younger brother disagreed. He said you only went there , there are so many things at hand, you must not have time to pay attention to us. Later, I heard that you have done a lot of things there, and you have succeeded in everything you wanted to do. You are very popular with the people, and we are very happy for you. You are good people, Good people deserve good rewards!"

Cui Pu smiled slightly when he heard the words: "I would like to borrow your good words."

Mu Jiaojiao also said to Mrs. Guan who had been smiling at them all the time: "I don't know how your health is now, my lady? Come and let me feel your pulse!"

"No need. Since I showed you last time, I'm still in good health, with no problems at all!" Mrs. Guan waved her hand quickly.

But Mu Jiaojiao still pulled her hand over and felt her pulse.Then she smiled and said: "Your pulse is much more stable than last time. It seems that you have lived a good life here for more than a year."

"Of course. We are here to join his younger brother this time. His younger brother works under the magistrate's command, and he knows that the government values ​​him very much. We are here, we don't have to farm or do any heavy work, and we eat and drink well every day. This body Can it get better and better?" Mrs. Guan said with a smile.

Cui Pu smiled: "That's right. By the way, I remember Brother Zheng and your younger brother did experience under the magistrate, right? Is he not at home today?"

"I was called by the magistrate early in the morning, saying that he wanted to accompany the guests. But judging from the situation, they should be coming back soon." Zheng Dao.

After saying a few more words, I really heard a voice coming from the front, and a little servant girl came over and said: "Mr. Erlang and the lady are back."

"Look, they're back now!" Zheng Da quickly burst into a simple and honest smile.

While talking, I saw Zheng Da's younger brother Zheng Jing and his wife walking in.

"I heard that brother here also has guests today? I'm here to take a look now—" Zheng experienced walking in while talking.When he saw Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao, he was taken aback for a moment, and hurried forward to salute.

His wife, Liu Shi, also quickly bowed down and bowed without mentioning it.

After Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao returned the gift, Cui Pu looked at Zheng Jing with a smile and said, "Why are we here this time, you must have understood Zheng Jing in your heart, right?"

"It's clear." Zheng experienced sighed, "Actually, Cui Xianzun, you don't need to come to the door in person. You saved my sister-in-law's life that day, and let them live in your big boat, allowing them to arrive in Yangzhou safely all the way. I can't repay this kindness even if I spend my entire life. It's just that I'm just a small experience under the magistrate's subordinates, and my ability is limited. "

"Actually, treating Miss Guan at that time was just a matter of little effort for us. But as the right-hand man of the Zuo Zhifu, it took a huge risk to tell us the news you got from him as soon as possible. If you are not careful, you will get into trouble. In comparison, your rewards these times have already far exceeded our initial efforts." Cui Pu said sincerely.

But Zheng Jing shook his head: "Cui Xianzun, you don't know something. I can achieve what I am today, thanks to my brother and sister-in-law. If it wasn't for the hard work of their husband and wife farming and supporting me to study, I would not I am where I am today. It’s just that I’m useless. I’ve studied for more than ten years, but I only passed one exam. After failing several times in the general examination, I stopped thinking about taking the exam again and went to the Zuo Zhifu. It took four or five years for me to achieve today's little achievement. I finally got married and established a business, so I quickly picked them up from Bingzhou. I just never thought that my sister-in-law fell ill on the way here! At that time , if I hadn’t met Mrs. Xian Zun, a person with such advanced medical skills, I would have really faced the situation of "I want to support my brother but don't want to be loved". That would be a knot in my life. You saved me from such a regret , that is my reborn parents, no matter what I do for you now, it will be worth it!"

After finishing speaking, he got up again and solemnly saluted Cui Pu.

This time Cui Pu did not refuse.

And when Zheng finished the ceremony, Cui Pu gave him another ceremony.Zheng Jin wanted to return the gift again, but Cui Pu refused.

"I understand what you mean when Zheng experienced you. Your grace of rebirth is not worth mentioning to me. And your help to me in the past two years is also very useful to me. So, I accept your gratitude." Now, please accept my gratitude now."

Hearing what he said, Zheng Cheng then withdrew his hand. "Since Cui Xianzun said so, then I won't say more."

"But I still have something to say." Cui Pu said immediately.

"what?"

"In the future, you should try not to send any news to me."

"Why?" Zheng Ji's expression changed.

Cui Pu quickly shook his head: "Don't think too much, it's not that I don't believe you. It's just that you also understand in your heart that I am from the Cui family, and Zuo Zhifu is from the Wu family. Although we are not on opposite sides now, we can get along well with each other." It’s definitely not a good relationship. It’s definitely not a good thing for you to help me and be discovered by him. And you’ve helped me enough, we’re all evened out.”

"How can this be fair!" Zheng Ji immediately shook his head.

"But you have to think about your elder brother and them again? They have suffered so much and finally made you stand out. Don't you make up your mind to repay them? They are the main people you want to repay. You say , If you do something wrong and get caught by the Zuo Zhifu in order to repay me, then you will definitely implicate them. Have you imagined the consequences of doing so?" Cui Pu asked.

Zheng Ji was taken aback.Cui Pu patted him on the shoulder: "I have received your heart, that's enough. It's just that people live for a lifetime, the most important thing is to consider themselves and the people they care about the most. As for others, if you are kind, If you can repay it, if it is beyond your ability, then don't force it. After all, if you can't even save yourself, you still talk about repaying your kindness?"

Zheng Ji was silent for a while, as if he was considering his words.

Hearing this, Zheng Da hurriedly said: "Cui Langjun, what are you talking about? Our husband and wife have suffered for a lifetime, and it will be fine even if we go through the hard life again. But we are the ones who have saved you in this life. I will never forget. As long as we can, we will definitely repay your life-saving grace!"

Cui Pu smiled and shook his head: "This is really unnecessary."

No matter what the brothers of the Zheng family said, he just didn't respond, and hurriedly asked someone to keep the New Year's ceremony, and then dragged Mu Jiaojiao to leave.

Looking at the pile of gifts left by the two of them, Zheng Da said to Zheng Ji with a serious face: "Brother, brother has never asked you anything in this life. Only this time, Cui Langjun and his wife are indeed good people. If you can help them in the future, do your best to help them, don't worry too much about me and your sister-in-law, we are fine!"

Zheng experienced nodded. "I know, I will."

Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao got into the carriage, and Mu Jiaojiao asked: "Do you think they will listen to you and stop helping us?"

"No." Cui Pu definitely shook his head.

Mu Jiaojiao raised his eyebrows. "oh?"

Cui Pu smiled and said, "These brothers are too conscientious. Didn't you already see this?"

"Then you just said that to them!"

"Isn't this just a formality? I can't tell people, yes, yes, my life-saving grace is greater than heaven, and you must try to help me in the future. Once I am in trouble, you must lend a helping hand to me. What do you think I said like this? Do you want my face?"

"You don't see how embarrassing you are now." Mu Jiaojiao complained coldly.

"Being in front of you, I've lost face a long time ago. But as long as others don't know, it's fine!" Cui Pu stuck out his tongue and smiled shamelessly.
