Author: Tears Crown Elegy

The husband and wife are very close to each other, they raise eyebrows together, and they obviously feel that they are closer to each other than before.

Li Rusi felt a little angry when she saw the joy in Zhuang Xun's eyes.

In fact, good impression was far from falling in love, but jealousy tortured her crazy.

My sister's marriage is unhappy, and she has seen many unhappy marriages, so she used to think that there was nothing wrong with not getting married.

Now……

What a disgusting feeling.

The couple were so close to each other and had such an unparalleled understanding that even the noodles she cooked for breakfast felt tasteless to her.

After eating, I hurriedly said goodbye. I couldn't wait to go home and beat the martial arts dummy to relieve my angry mood.

"Xun, please give Miss Li a ride. Thank you, Miss Li, for sending Xun home safely last night." Zhuang Xun is a person who pays great attention to returning favors.

"You're welcome. It's because of filial piety and integrity that Ru Si dares to go out." On the surface, the girl knows the rules and observes etiquette.

"I still want it, as a token of Xun's gratitude." Zhuang Xun adjusted his clothes and said.

The conversation also made people feel comfortable. At least Zhuang Xun felt that Miss Li was a very nice person.

After yesterday's turmoil, there were far fewer homeless people on the streets.

"It's really enviable, the relationship between Xiaolian and his wife." Thinking of Mrs. Wei's farewell at the door, Li Rusi could quite understand what Zhuang Xun said at the banquet. This is something that fellow women cannot learn.

"Miss Li has reached the age of marriage. She will definitely find an excellent husband." Zhuang Xun said smoothly, but he didn't think of anything more.

At least he doesn't have a good sense of whether the other person is interested in me or not.

"A good man is hard to find. I'm a little curious as to how Mrs. Xiaolian and Xiaolian met." Li Rusi asked for something to say.

Zhuang Xun told the story he and Si Qinmi made up together.

"It turns out that he is from a good family in Xihe. No wonder he has a certain magnanimity." Li Rusi nodded thoughtfully.

"Mrs. Ling can be regarded as your savior, Xiaolian. No wonder you respect Xiaolian so much." Li Rusi further said.

"It's not just a life-saving grace, but also because she is my wife. A husband should respect his wife so much. She is the other half of his body. If you don't love and respect her, how can you expect others to respect you?" Zhuang Xun

Seriously, he hates people who don't treat their wives as human beings.

Li Rusi didn't respond, and she didn't even look at him.

"..." Zhuang Xun didn't know what had offended her. Li Rusi didn't say anything, so he also became quiet.

"Thank you Xiaolian for escorting me. I'm very grateful, little lady. Please come in and have a cup of tea." Li Rusi stopped and had already arrived in front of Chengguo Mansion.

"No need, I have to be busy moving today. I will definitely do it next time I get the chance." The atmosphere of male and female defense is not like that of the Ming and Qing Dynasties on Earth, but Zhuang Xun felt that he had nothing to talk about with Li Rusi, and he did have something to do.

"I won't keep Xiaolian anymore." Her eyes reflected Zhuang Xun's slowly leaving figure.

"The more we chatted, the more I felt it was a pity that I forgot to send a car." Li Rusi murmured to herself.

On the way back, people chatted in groups about what happened yesterday, and their words were full of admiration for Zhuang Xun.

"How handsome he must be. The two ladies are fascinated by him."

"I heard that he only looks a little fairer, just a pretty boy."

"Can a pretty girl say that a wife has four virtues? Will a pretty girl not become a son-in-law?"

"Yes, Mrs. Jiang, I heard that she is a big shot, and you have no chance of being her guest."

…

Completely unaware that the protagonist of their discussion was passing by them.

Zhuang Xun was going to go to the caravan to find He Heng and the others. It happened that he also needed help with some things at home.

"Benefactor, do you know who you are now? How can you walk on the road so arrogantly without fear of encountering any danger?" He Jung blocked the way halfway and was pulled into the carriage by him.

"No one wants to kill me." After Li Rusi explained that yesterday's assassination was to assassinate Li Pingyuan, Zhuang Xun breathed a sigh of relief. In addition, he no longer entered the household department, and the Qingliu system had no overall control.

Malicious.

"Not yet? Xun Bao, the governor of Yinshan County, wants to eat you, my benefactor." He Jung looked at Zhuang Xun, who was in a good mood and said a person's name.

"Ah, how did I offend him?" Zhuang Xun was confused, why did another enemy appear?

"The money used to buy Jiedu Youshi was sent to Prime Minister Zhang's house. For your sake, Prime Minister Zhang had to send someone back in the morning." He Jung smiled bitterly and looked at Zhuang Xun with some admiration.

Is this the future emperor with the imperial lineage? He has no background and has climbed to the top ranks of the empire at the age of 23.

Every person who becomes the emperor has great luck that ordinary people cannot touch in their lifetime.

"If he goes to the emperor to reason with him, or else to talk to Prime Minister Zhang, why does he hate me?" Zhuang Xun understood, and then said a little unhappily.

"He must have the courage." He Jung smiled and reasoned. The emperor always talked about physics.

"I'm weak and I'm easy to bully, right?" Zhuang Xun said, clenching his fists in displeasure.

"Human nature is such that I only dare to hate you. Yinshan County is under the jurisdiction of Hebei Province. There will be a lot of time to say hello in the future." He Jung said with a smile.

"Is that so? Scholar, how do you know he has grudges against Xun?" Zhuang Xun didn't explain.

"Because this year is his fourth year in office, he is going back to Yindu to report on his duties. He is also taking this opportunity to go further. His benefactor cut off his upward path. I heard that he smashed things as soon as he came home last night and kept grabbing them.

I curse you in your name." He Jung observed Zhuang Xun's expression, and Zhuang Xun didn't look angry at all.

"The emperor cut it off. He might as well blame the left prime minister. I was supposed to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to be a noble minister, but who knew that now I would go to the lonely northern border." Zhuang Xun curled his lips. The Ministry of Household Affairs was not to his liking, so he

It's just words.

"My benefactor, you must know that you are born outside and die inside. Being trapped in Yindu is just waiting for death. People with ambitions should have the world in mind and take over the universe. The temporary difficulties do not mean that they will be difficult in the future." What He Jung is most afraid of is that Zhuang Xun also shows up.

Well, these immortal masters don’t seek to make progress, and if my master doesn’t seek to make progress, then it’s really over.

"Just talking, Xun is still looking forward to governing one side. I can't say what the big ambition is. In fact, Xun still has a dream of saving the world. Protecting the people of one side to live and work in peace and contentment, and seeing them happy. Although it is at a low level, everyone has enough to eat every day.

"Everyone has clothes to wear in all seasons." Zhuang Xun didn't want to talk about great principles or ideals, this was his simple wish.

"The benefactor is really a benevolent Lord. I am willing to do the hard work of a dog and a horse in the process of realizing it." He Jung heard Zhuang Xun's simple wish, which was extremely true. There was no need for him to say this in front of his staff and the person who brought in the corrupt official.

There's no need to put on a show like this

This may be a holder of the imperial line who really wants the people to live and work in peace and contentment. No wonder the Wheel of Fortune and his three masters are betting on him. No matter how bad a person like this is, he will never do evil to the people.

"What is benevolence? The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. The greater the power, the greater the obligation. If you enjoy the respect and support of a county, you must work for a county. If you enjoy the respect and support of a community, you must work for the community. Otherwise, you will become a freeloader?" Zhuang

Xun did not feel that he was very benevolent and righteous. He felt that he could not be like those sages who could not wear good clothes or make good cars.

Save when you don't have money, spend when you have money.

Zhuang Xun felt that it was inappropriate to blindly ask people to contribute and ignore themselves. It was like promoting the poverty of scientists, as if only poor scientists needed to be respected, and rich scientists were all morally corrupt.

When he became an official, he believed that as long as he managed the people under his rule and made them rich, he liked beautiful clothes and beautiful bicycle frames, and he felt no burden in enjoying them.

"What the benefactor said is that most people are living on a corpse, and I'm afraid they can't even do basic things, including your future boss Yuan Hongguan." He Jung understood Zhuang Xun's meaning and elicited a question that Zhuang Xun had not yet had time to talk to.

Si Qinmi discussed in depth Yuan Hongguan, the governor of Hebei Province.

"Can you tell me about him?" Zhuang Xun became a little interested.

"What's there to say? There is a big corrupt official under Zhang Youxiang. Rich households in several wealthy counties in Hebei are scared when they hear his name. He is not from a high family background, but you can't think of ways to make money. This kind of character is suitable for us to show off.

After being fed with fists, feet, and money, he will become honest."

He Jung said with disdain that he really didn't look down on such a second-grade official, and Yuan Hongguan didn't give him a chance to look at him. A quick look at his reputation would tell him that it was really bad.

"Are you blinded by money?" Zhuang Xun nodded.

In a sense, this kind of people are the best to be satisfied. Those who are ambitious and ambitious are the most difficult to deal with. These people will firmly control power.

People who are greedy for money can also hold power, but their grasp of power is far from perfect, and their character ensures that power will naturally be lost.

"It's no longer just seeing money. It's just sitting there collecting money. I spend my daily life in various ways. My concubine gave birth to a child and the child is one month old. This kind of thing must be done in a big way. Every time, the whole Hebei Province must be invited.

Officials, he will trouble anyone who doesn't go." He Jung was well prepared for Hebei Province, after all, Daijun was also in Hebei Province.

"So arrogant, the emperor is spoiling him? That's a borderland, what should we do if something happens?" This was the first time Zhuang Xun heard about it.

"This is where Yuan Hongguan is so smart. In addition to paying filial piety to Prime Minister Zhang, he also used part of the stolen money as military pay. Since he went to Hebei Province, Hebei Province has become poorer year by year, but there is no military pay every year.

Missing." It was difficult for He Jung to express his evaluation of Yuan Hongguan.

"Because they were paid enough, the army was more obedient to his words. They became his executioners. Anyone who opposed him would have their homes raided by the army."

He Jung's words also made Zhuang Xun understand a little bit why Yuan Hongguan was so greedy that he could not fail.

"He will seize the main contradiction and ask the coachman to go to Nanshi." Zhuang Xun glanced out the window and said to He Jung.

"I forgot to ask, my benefactor, what are you doing out here?" He Jung said after hearing that Zhuang Xun was going to Nanshi and thought of something.

"I have a few friends in Nanshi, the same people who were drinking in the courtyard last time. I want them to help me move." It doesn't hurt to tell He Jung the whole news about the move.

"My benefactor, do you want to move? Your conquest document shouldn't come out so quickly, right?" He Jung was a little confused.

"The landlord's youngest son framed Xun at the banquet. How could Xun possibly live in their house again? It was so embarrassing." Zhuang Xun explained.

"If the benefactor is willing, you can come and stay at my next home for a while while waiting for the documents to be collected." After hearing this, He Jung thought of the whole story of the frame-up in the rumors.

"Let's take a look and stay at the inn first. Sorry to bother you, but the documents for the expedition should be sorted out soon. After all, Qingliu now wants to kick Xun out of Yindu immediately." Zhuang Xun understood how special he was among a group of Qingliu.

"There are many people in the inn, and there is a small courtyard at home specially for guests. You can really come to Jung's house first, and it only lasts for a month." He Jung strongly recommended.

"Xun, think about it. Go to Nanshi to contact them first. I also need to find someone to protect me. Just like you said today, many people have great malice towards Xun, so I still need to find someone to protect me." Zhuang Xun also hesitated, thinking about it.

It would be good to save a little on hotel accommodation fees now.

"Protection, indeed. Uncle Fu, please go to Nanshi." He Jung stuck his head out and told the driver.

"But are these people reliable? My benefactor, Jung, please arrange some nursing homes for you." He Jung said with concern.

"It's really no problem. I trust Brother He and the others. I saved them all when they were about to die," Zhuang Xun revealed.

"I understand that the benevolence and righteousness bestowed by my benefactor are now bearing fruit." He Jung said with admiration.

"I didn't expect them to bear fruit, and they were more casual about rescuing people. But these people are really good, and they promised to work with me in the local area. From now on, you can be regarded as colleagues." Zhuang Xun had no intention of repaying him in the first place.

But a few people are not bad-minded, and it is indeed easy to become friends.

"I was in a hurry last time. I thought I would get to know a few martyrs this time. Are their stories really like the stories?" He Jung actually had doubts about the three rescues that Zhuang Xun had recently heard about.

"It's roughly the same, but Xun is portrayed too well. As you can see, Xun is far different from the protagonist in the story. In the drama, he is a saint, but in reality Xun is just an ordinary person." Zhuang Xun really doubted whether there was something behind this.

Some people maliciously create a persona for themselves, so that they can hold themselves up high and then fall down hard.

"But my benefactor, you really have the mind of a saint. You are the first person I met in the Yu Kingdom who wanted the people to live and work in peace and contentment." He Jung added the honorific title.

"Ah, don't the ministers talk about it all the time?" Zhuang Xun thought about it, that high official was not talking about serving the country and the people.

"Indeed, my benefactor, you also said it. You just paid lip service to them and actually let them serve the country and the people. They escaped faster than anyone else!" He Jung looked at this country with the eyes of a cultivator, and saw that it was a country.

Heaping up rotten wood and insects, he suddenly felt that Zhuang Xun was really a piece of pure golden sun, and he understood to some extent what the three immortals meant.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. You didn't go to the scholar's longevity banquet. Has your scholar status been cancelled?" Zhuang Xun thought of another question.

"There's no need to worry. Jung has already asked for leave in advance, so it shouldn't count as late arrival." He Jung waved his hand and said there was no need to worry.

"Jun went to get a big piece of information this time. The You Kingdom is about to attack Chengdu Pass." He learned from Ya Dutong that it was confirmed that Li Pingyuan had just left Yin Du, and the You Kingdom soldiers on the front line were ready to attack Chengdu Pass.

After all, Li Pingyuan came back and attacked from both sides. Youguo was embarrassed.

"Ah, when and how did you get the news? Is it accurate?" Zhuang Xun became a little nervous.

If Chengdie Pass is breached, then all his previous work will be meaningless. It will be useless for him to hold the documents for the conquest of the destroyed Yu Kingdom.

"It's not that simple. There are stacks of passes to guard against the dangers of mountains and rivers..."
