Chapter 251 252 Picking up cheap

After Zhou Jia coaxed Yangyang to sleep, he carried him to the cot and covered the quilt. He sat on the edge of the kang and told Li Yu what he saw in the yamen today: "That Wu Tongzhi is always looking at me from behind, I guess this is the position. Maybe he was supposed to go, but for some reason, he let me pick peaches halfway, I have made up my mind, no matter which side he is from, I will do my job well."

After listening to Li Yu, he thought about it: "I don't know anything about the officialdom, but you were promoted to prefect by exception. I think those people have already inquired about it clearly, and they don't dare to play any conspiracy or tricks. You make some stumbling blocks and make your official business in the yamen not so smooth. If you think it is boring to be an official, let's resign and not do it, and it would be good to go back to be a rich man. "

Zhou Jia thought about it and thought it was right. He kissed Li Yu's face and said with a smile, "That's true, I'll take a shower and let's take a break."

"Yeah!" Li Yu responded softly and got into the bed.

In the Zuixian Building opposite, since Zhou Jia left, the officials have become more casual. Wang Qinghai was lying in the bosom of the prostitute, secretly looking at Wu Tongzhi who was sitting beside him drunk, thinking that this Wu Tongzhi was also Without official luck, he finally made it to the old prefect to return to his hometown, thinking that the prefect's position was firmly in his hands, but who knew that a small magistrate fell from the sky and picked peaches.

Wang Qinghai thought that when Zhou Jia said that his wife had a bad temperament, he complained in his mouth, but with a smile in his eyes, he couldn't help laughing, thinking to himself: This new prefect is also an interesting person.

Wu Tongzhi sipped his head and drank for a while, then suddenly got up and said staggeringly, "You can do whatever you want, I'm going back too."

"I'm back too." Everyone stood up and walked out of the Zuixianlou one after another.

Li Yu and the others were busy at home for a few days before relocating the house. Just as he was about to take Jixiang and the others to the street to take a look, Gu Yu, the maid who had just arrived, came to report: "Madam, there is a man called outside. Chu Sihai's request."

"Chu Sihai," Li Yu recalled for a moment: "Tongzhou's shopkeeper Chu, please invite him to the front living room, and then go to the front office to invite the master back."

"I'm going to call the master." Zhaocai Yingxia turned around and walked to the front office.

Li Yu handed Yangyang to Mrs. Zhang and went to the living room in the front yard. After a while, Gu Yu arrived with Chu Sihai and a gentle middle-aged man. Chu Sihai and the man bowed and saluted, "Meet your madam."

Li Yu said with a hearty smile: "Manager Chu, you are too polite, everyone is not an outsider, please take a seat."

"The madam is still the same hearty," Chu Sihai pointed to the man accompanying him, "This is the shopkeeper of the Yunzhou Mansion Sihai Bank, Chu Feng, if you have something to do in the future, feel free to instruct the madam."

Chu Feng bowed and said, "Chu Feng pays respects to Madam."

Li Yu said with a smile: "Treasurer Chu is polite, and I will take care of Manager Chu in the future, please take a seat."

After the two were seated, Chu Sihai said to Li Yu: "Madam, I came from Tongzhou this time. Young Master Ah Qing and your aunt asked me to bring you some things. Young Master Ah Qing is going to take part in the township examination this year. I’ll see you after the exam.” Shopkeeper Chu paused, took out a few letters from his pocket, and gave them to Gu Yu who was standing beside him: “Madam, these are Young Master Ah Qing, Uncle Zhou and the others gave them to you and Master Zhou. letter."

Li Yu took the letter and thanked Chu Sihai, Chu Feng got up and said to Li Yu: "Madam, the Zuixianlou opposite is opened by Sihai Qianzhuang, and the Qianzhuang has other businesses in Yunzhou. place but please order."

Li Yu smiled gratefully: "Thank you, shopkeeper Chu."

At this time, Zhou Jia came back from the former ya, and the three went to the study to discuss matters after seeing the ceremony. Li Yu went to the kitchen to arrange a banquet and entertained the two of them.

After noon, Zhou Jia sent the two away and came back to Li Yu and said, "Treasurer Chu told me about the relationship between the officials of Yunzhou Prefecture and the aristocratic clan, the local gentry and the government.

Shopkeeper Chu mentioned Wang Qinghai and said that Wang Qinghai was a child of the Yunzhou royal family. The Wang family helped Emperor Taizu when Emperor Taizu was uprising. The Wang family used to be a call for wind and rain in Yunzhou. Since the first emperor ascended the throne, he began to suppress the Wang family. The second master of the Wang family was still working in the household department at that time. Seeing the favored concubine and the first prince, he secretly took refuge with the first prince. Yes, later the first prince and the second prince had accidents one after another, one broke his spine and the other broke his leg. Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, for the sake of Mr. Wang, he has spared Mr. Wang Er and asked him to go home and not hire him.

There is also Wu Tingxian. Behind Wu Tingxian is Wu Lao Shangshu. Wu Tingxian has served as a co-zhi in Yunzhou for two times. He is a fairly honest official. Originally, he was the prefect of Yunzhou this time, because his character is a bit stubborn. With the capacity for people, and now that Da Qi is eager to make a move towards Dayong, His Majesty is afraid that he will make a mistake and only get me here. "

Zhou Jia said and smiled: "I think I'm here to take care of Wu Tingxian."

Li Yu also laughed: "It seems that you picked up a bargain, but you have been busy in Qingchuan for a few years, take a good rest while you are here, come, let's read the letter first."

Li Yu took out the letter that Chu Sihai brought and handed it to Zhou Jia, and saw that there was a butcher who gave it to the Ruyi couple.

The two read the letter. Uncle Zhou wrote greetings to the two of them, as well as gifts for Yang Yang, boots and clothing made by Aunt He for the family of three, and A Qing wrote about his longing for the two of them. I asked how Yang Yang was, whether she was good or not, and how she felt after studying for the rest of the days. Li Mei made clothes, shoes and hats for Yang Yang, and the sisters Zhao Di knitted sweaters, shoes and socks.

Li Yu and Zhou Jia went out to pack the gifts and returned to the room. Zhou Jia took Li Yu in his arms, and continued with the previous words, saying: "How can you think so easily? Thin Dianmao, the county government to which the inspector belongs...a lot of things are my responsibility."

Li Yu stood up and said with a smile: "Okay! I don't understand your government affairs either, you go and do your work, oh! Ah Wei and Mr. went to the countryside for a free clinic, and by the way, I went to find out where there are barren hills. I plan to go to the street. Go for a walk."

Zhou Jia stroked the hair around Li Yu's ear and said softly: "Okay! I'm busy these days, and I don't have time to accompany you. You can go shopping on the street. Ah Wei has a good wasteland. Buy it if you're satisfied."

Li Yu took Zhou Jia to the Chuihuamen, saw him go to the Qianya, went back and handed Yangyang to Xiaoyu and Ruyi to explain, and took Gu Yu and Jixiang out of the car and walked towards the street.

The car came to a street selling fabrics and rouge gouache, Jixiang said to Li Yu: "Madam, the shop selling wool and bags is a little ahead, do you want to go and have a look?"

"It's good to go and have a look."

Jixiang drove the car to the shop, stopped the car and said to Li Yu, "Madam, it's here."
