Chapter 131 How to Repay the Concubine
The next morning, Sister Feng came early, met Xiaohuan, and asked, "Sister Xiaohuan, is Young Madam up yet? Fifth Yiniang wants to come to say hello."

Xiaohuan said: "No more."

Sister Feng said: "This... I'm afraid it's not polite..."

Xiaohuan said calmly: "That's not what it means, but when the young master comes back from outside, the young lady won't be able to get out of bed the next morning, do you understand?"

Sister Feng's face turned red instantly, and she immediately remembered the situation when Hu Qian just combed the cage last time, and muttered: "The young master is so powerful..."

Xiaohuan said: "That's up to you, let alone the young lady, even if you add three aunts, that's also..."

Just as he was talking, Shen Yuzhen called out, "Xiaohuan, come and help the young master get dressed."

Xiaohuan responded, waved at Sister Feng and said, "Go, go, please come back this afternoon, Si Yiniang."

Sister Feng blushed and ran out.

In the inner room, Xiaohuan helped Hu Qian get dressed, and Shen Yuzhen lay on the bed and looked at him with a smile on her face.

"By the way, I forgot to mention yesterday, I met Shen Lian."

"Really? Is he in the capital? What is he doing?"

"He is Jin Yiwei now."

"Jin Yiwei, this is too dangerous."

"It's okay, he is now a hundred households, and he has made contributions before, so nothing will happen.

He also asked me to bring letters to you and your parents.

Xiaohuan, I'll wear it myself, and go get the letter from the bag. "

Xiaohuan immediately brought the letter to Shen Yuzhen.

Shen Yuzhen endured the pain and sat up, impatiently reading the letter.

After a while, he said nervously: "It turns out that my husband broke a big case in the capital, why didn't I tell my concubine?"

Hu Qian said: "The situation last night, where is the time to talk about this."

Shen Yuzhen blushed, and read the letter carefully.

"He can be promoted to a hundred households, and it all depends on your face."

Hu Qian smiled, it seems that Shen Lian did not tell the truth.

But that's really not necessary. Now that such a dangerous thing has passed, why should the family members worry about it.

"Okay, okay, finally a letter came to let the family know that he is fine, that's enough.

By the way, he said that Xianggong was summoned by the emperor and promised a reward.

What did the emperor reward? "

Hu Qian smiled and said, "Well..."

Just as she was about to speak, Xing'er knocked on the door suddenly and came in, "Young Master, Master invites you to come over."

Hu Qian nodded, kissed Shen Yuzhen intimately on the face again, packed his clothes and went to the east courtyard.

Hu differently said: "I heard from your mother that you solved the case of Bai Shangshu's murder in the capital?"

Hu Qian said: "It can be considered luck."

Hu Butong said: "Very good. If such a big case is solved, even if you fail in the final trial, there should be a good place to go."

Hu Qian said, "Why did Daddy come back only now?"

"Sigh, Sanshui, Nanyang, and Guobei have been in drought for months, and countless wheat in the fields have died. Your Uncle Xu and I are discussing disaster relief."

"Any news from Zhenhu?"

"No, your uncle has given up, and now he has two concubines, working hard every day."

Hu Qian smiled knowingly.

After talking for a while, he returned to the west courtyard.

Before he got close, he heard the sound of Huqin from a long distance. It turned out that it was Lu Huanniang who was pulling Chu Chu to play for her.

Seeing Hu Qian coming, Chu Chu hurriedly saluted, Lu Huanniang said, "Msg. Gong came just in time, Chu Chu plays the huqin really well."

Hu Qian held Lu Huanniang's face and kissed her, then sat beside her and said, "Chu Chu not only plays the huqin well, but also sings well."

Lu Huanniang said angrily: "Sister, why didn't you tell me earlier, I'm tired of holding back in the courtyard, I wanted to listen to the song a long time ago.

I wanted to beg my sister to invite someone to the concert, but I wanted to wait for my husband to come back.

Now that Chuchu is here, she won't be lonely in the future. "

Seeing that the two of them were so relaxed, Chu Chu swallowed her saliva and was so excited that she lost her voice.

Lu Huanniang immediately laughed and said, "My sister is not thinking about playing the piano."

After teasing for a while, Axiu came over to greet a few people for breakfast.

Talking about the disaster situation in the following three counties, Rong Ning'er was the first to say: "I heard that many landlords are worried that the wheat will not grow, and now they are starting to collect rent from the tenants. If the tenants can't pay, they will have to go bankrupt."

Hu Qian said: "How is the situation in the city?"

"There are also those who escaped from famine, but not as many as before."

"It's not that time yet, there will be more in May."

Hu Qian sighed, it's a pity that he can't practice the art of cloud and rain, otherwise he could have rescued him.

Axiu, who was always talkative, said: "My lord, I have an idea."

Hu Qian said: "Oh, tell me."

"It's better to give out porridge like last time, so as to accumulate some virtue."

Hu Qian said: "It's a good idea, but I can't bear to let you guys go out in public."

Then he shouted: "Yingcai, send a message to Hu Jiu, so that he doesn't have to do anything today, and just serve porridge at the door."

Ying Cai responded and hurried away.

In the morning, Hu Qian went out to have a look, and there was already a long queue in front of the porridge stall.

Afterwards, he first went to the state office to visit Xu Yuanfang, and then went to Honglu Academy to have a conversation with Mr. Qi, and learned that Guo Yu had just left, and it seemed that he had returned from the capital.

When he came back at noon, he had just entered the yard when he saw Shen Yuzhen and the others staring straight at him with red eyes, biting their lips without saying a word.

He was taken aback, and said anxiously: "What's the matter? What happened?"

Shen Yuzhen said: "Mr. Guo came to look for Mr. Xiang this morning."

"and then?"

"He said that the emperor promised the minister one thing, as long as the minister speaks publicly, the emperor will agree."

"Well, there is such a thing."

"What did your husband say?"

Hu Qian smiled, "I said you all reacted so strongly, so it was because of this.

Yes, I beg the emperor to pardon Ma Shouwei's family for their sins. "

Chu Chu said: "It turned out to be true!"

Lu Huanniang said: "I don't want high-ranking officials, rich salary, gold, silver and treasures, but to do this for...for the Ma family..."

As he spoke, he began to cry.

Axiu has been crying like a tearful person.

Shen Yuzhen and Chu Chu also burst into tears, and even Yingcai and other maidservants wiped away their tears quietly.

Hu Qian said: "Okay, we have rich clothes and fine food, and the family is happy and harmonious, isn't it very good.

By the way, where is Ning'er? "

Shen Yuzhen said: "I lost control of my emotions, crying in my own room."

Hu Qian nodded, "It's fine to cry."

Chu Chu looked at it strangely, although she wanted to ask, she dared to speak casually for a while.

Shen Yuzhen said: "Master, go and comfort her."

Hu Qian shook his head and said, "I'm going there now, it's kind of like asking for credit, so let's forget it."

Shen Yuzhen said: "If you want to ask for credit, you will say it when you come back, why wait until now.

Besides, if you don't ask Ning'er to thank you well, she won't feel so good about it. "

Only then did Hu Qian arrive at Rong Ning'er's room.

When I got to the outside room, I heard a burst of sobbing, turned around the corner door, and saw Rong Ning'er sitting on the edge of the bed, crying on the pillow.
