Chapter 238: Thank You Husband
After receiving the imperial decree, Su County Magistrate and Li Yi suppressed the shock in their hearts, and returned to the banquet to continue today's birthday banquet under Xu Qing's greeting.
Originally, Li Yi looked at Xiao Ye and Xiao Ruxue and wanted to salute, after all, it's really not good for the royal family to sit at the same table with them so carelessly.
Unexpectedly, just as Li Yi stood up and said something, His Royal Highness, Xiao Ye offered him a glass of wine.
Xiao Ye just looked at Li Yi and said: "His Royal Highness? How can there be any His Royal Highness today. Today, I am just a friend of Brother Xu, and I brought my younger sister to my sister-in-law's birthday banquet."
On today's table, besides the fluffy cakes, there are also the indispensable sweet and sour short ribs, grilled fish, and other dishes. There is a large table.
These dishes are all made by Xu Qing and Su Qian, with natural color, fragrance and taste.
The grilled fish was caught by Xiao Ruxue himself from the fish pond.
At this moment, Su Qian suddenly understood why Xiao Ruxue worked so hard to feed the fish every day, and even more understood why when Xiao Ruxue came to Andingbo Mansion for the first time, when she looked at the fish in the fish pond, her eyes were like As if shining...
...
Today, Xu Qing could clearly feel Su Qian's happiness, a kind of happiness that she had never seen before. She always felt that Su Qian smiled more today than in the past ten years combined.
Yes, Su Qian hasn't had a good birthday since she was six years old. The death of her mother was a big blow to her, and she even got into a corner, stubbornly thinking that it was because her father didn't take good care of her by her side that caused her mother's death. .
Ten years seemed to have sealed him off.
In ten years, there are only a few books of martial arts Cultivation Technique left by her mother to accompany Own. Even Xuan'er, who is a personal maid, can only take care of her for a period of time when she is sick, and will be dismissed by Su Qianping the rest of the time. outer.
These martial arts Cultivation Techniques were put in when the father-in-law's Master was preparing a dowry for her mother. After sending these things away, the old man was left alone.
And these martial arts Cultivation Techniques are not high-level secrets, at best they can be regarded as mediocre. It is said that these martial arts Cultivation Techniques are passed down from the older generations, but when the father-in-law’s teacher’s generation abandoned martial arts and followed literature, no one would learn these things. up.
The old man had no children, so he had no choice but to stuff these books into the dowry.
Unexpectedly, during those ten years, Su Qian was as talented as a talent, forcibly relying on a few medium-level martial arts Cultivation Technique to forcibly practice to the point where she could slap a gravel table with her bare hands.
It's obviously not advanced qinggong, but it can be faster than Xiao Ruxue, who is good at learning qinggong.
It's really incredible.
When Xu Qing heard about his wife's martial arts practice, she even wondered if it was because of the excessive grief when her mother-in-law passed away that she opened up the second channel of Ren and Du. Suddenly, she became a martial arts prodigy, and became a A peerless master.
...
After ten years, under Xu Qing's single-handed arrangement, Su Qian finally had a perfect birthday party.
Moreover, now, Su Qian has a husband who cares about her and loves her own, and also has new friends and sisters.
...
After the birthday banquet was over, the county magistrate Li Yisu personally went out to see them off first, and then Xiao Ye and Xiao Ruxue also left. At this time, only Su Qian and Xu Qing were left.
At this point, the core of the food is gone, the cups and plates are messed up, and the guests are all gone...
After seeing off Xiao Ruxue and Xiao Ye, Xu Qing and Su Qian stood in the compound of Uncle Anding's Mansion.
Xu Qing looked at Su Qian and smiled and said, "Is the lady satisfied with today's birthday banquet?"
Su Qian closed her eyes, leaned forward and leaned against Xu Qing's arms, and said softly, "Thank you, husband."
Xu Qing wrapped her arms around Su Qian's slender waist: "As husband and wife, thank you for what you say."
Xuan'er, who originally wanted to come over to pack her things, just walked to the moon gate when she saw this scene in the courtyard. Xuan'er blushed immediately, and hurriedly hid behind the moon gate, covering her own eyes with her hands, but her sight was blurred. Uncontrollably, it poured out from between the fingers, looking at the pair of Bi people hugging each other in the courtyard.
Miss and uncle are really loving!
...
"My son-in-law! What..."
At this moment, County Magistrate Su finished seeing off senior brother Own and walked in.
Xu Qing and Su Qian instinctively bounced back when they heard the voice, with embarrassment that couldn't be concealed on their faces, just like high school students who secretly fell in love with each other and were caught by their parents...
County magistrate Su blinked when he saw the scene in front of him, and immediately turned around and walked out: "Ahem, I'm sorry I went wrong, you go on, you go on..."
Su County Magistrate walked halfway, coughed again, and called Xuan'er, who had been peeking through her fingers, away...
Su Qian's face was slightly hot, she moved her lips and said, "My father saw it just now..."
Yes, yes, I was discovered by my parents, what should I do?
At this moment... Xu Qing suddenly came back to his senses, and then pulled Su Qian into his arms: "You will find out when you find it. We are a legal couple registered with the government. What can we do even if we see it?"
When Su Qian was pulled into Xu Qing's embrace again, Su Qian was also slightly taken aback, it seemed...it was like this...they are not those scholar ladies in the storybook, what are they afraid of?
...
In the next month, just after the end of the Spring Festival, the situation in the capital immediately changed, and the corrupt officials headed by the right servant of the household department fell one after another... and went to prison.
For a moment, the originally quiet and peaceful capital suddenly became turbulent, and those officials who had been corrupted and accepted bribes were panicked.
Moreover, His Majesty's actions were so fast and synchronized this time, it was clearly premeditated, and no one knew how many people were on His Majesty's list.
Of course, when the faces of these people changed, the way they looked at Tobe also changed.
Many officials have changed from fawning at the beginning to keeping a respectful distance.
Royal Study Room
The Emperor Chu looked at the virtuous king sitting beside him and said, "Brother Emperor, at least 300,000 taels of stolen money can be collected and put into the treasury, which shows how many moths there are in the imperial court!"
The virtuous king nodded, and said meaningfully: "Three hundred thousand, the military expenditure for disaster relief was also three hundred thousand, but it is precisely because of the lack of three hundred thousand that today's horseshoes can be achieved, which makes it possible to spend less money in the future." A lot of 300,000 yuan, sometimes, it’s a blessing in disguise.”
Chu Huangdao: "Just this time, 300,000 embezzled disaster relief funds can be collected. If the imperial court uses the loan method created by Xu Qing to check all the previous accounts, I am afraid that more money can be collected. Three hundred thousand taels! Great Chu’s treasury can also be filled, brother, I..."
Before the Emperor Chu could finish his words, he was interrupted by King Xian: "This time the accounts will be found here."
The Emperor of Chu looked at the King Xian and wondered: "Why? Those moths have embezzled so much silver from our Great Chu treasury, how can they let them go like this? Could it be that they are allowed to corrupt the court?!"
The virtuous king said, "You have been the emperor for so many years, why can't you understand? Which of the officials who can enter the court is absolutely innocent? Once the investigation continues like this, the court will be in chaos before the money is confiscated. The country, the country, and the country may be destroyed. Silver is important, but the stability of the country is more important."
