Chapter 71
The next government official (first update)
This is also because Nalanjing is in a hurry to accommodate people, so the cost is much higher.
Li Zheng returned the remaining forty-four taels to Nalanjing.
Nalanjing took the money bag, took out another two and a half taels of silver, and gave it to Li Zheng.
The aunt was shocked.
Li Zheng was even more afraid to accept it.
Nalanjing put it directly into his hand: "Uncle Lizheng, this money is not given for free. It is money you paid for helping me find someone and for my aunt to help with cooking."
Li Zheng was still unwilling to accept the offer: "Mrs. Rong checked for my leg disease a few days ago, but she didn't even charge me for the consultation. This small favor is nothing."
Nalanjing frowned and said, "But the two and a half silver coins I gave you have already deducted the consultation fee."
Li Zheng: "..."
—
Nalanjing started cooking when he got home.
Rong Qian and Xiao Wu rushed to light the fire.
Nalanjing felt that they were a little too enthusiastic today.
In the end, Xiao Wu managed to stay in the kitchen by cheating. While holding the firewood in the stove, he complained: "No dog in the village will eat the food cooked by the third brother."
Nalanjing couldn't laugh or cry: "Didn't my grandmother do it?"
Xiao Wu shook his head and sighed: "Grandma always forgets to put salt."
Nalanjing remembered the last time he said his grandmother's fried vegetables were salty.
She suddenly thought that her grandmother was already over sixty years old and she really couldn't leave home for too long. It might be better to have a cook when she bought a new house in the future.
After dinner, Nalanjing went to Su Shiqin's house holding the quilt he just bought today.
Nalanjing was worried that he would not get used to living here on his first day, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw three teenagers sitting cross-legged on the bed playing leaf cards.
Rong Qian spoke loudly, smashed the cards in his hand, and said: "Tomorrow after school, we will make a slingshot to hunt pheasants. The pheasants cooked by my sister-in-law are delicious."
Liu Yan sipped his saliva and said, "I want to eat it too."
Su Shiqin frowned and looked at the cards in his hand. He just wanted to lose one round. It was a bit difficult...
Su Shiqin: "My sister's cooking is so delicious, you are really lucky."
Rong Qian was unhappy with this statement: "When she was my sister-in-law, you didn't know where she was."
Su Shiqin said in a cold tone: "So what? You are just the third uncle now!"
Rong Qian clenched his fists.
Liu Yan took the cards and backed away. It was about to start a fight. It was about to start a fight.
Su Shiqin threw out the last card and said coldly: "I won again, you have to help me wash my clothes for a month."
Rong Qian was so angry that he couldn't argue with others or play cards. He didn't want to live anymore.
Nalanjing made a sound and walked in.
The faces of the people in the room changed instantly.
Rong Qian: "I'm worried that you're bored, let's play slingshot against the wild together tomorrow."
Su Shiqin: "Okay, I want to learn it too."
Liu Yan: "Aren't you going to fight?"
Rong Qian and Su Shiqin both said: "Shut up!"
Liu Yan shrank: How hypocritical!
Nalanjing spread the quilt and looked at them with a smile on his face: "Shiqin is just here and you are not used to it, so please give in."
Rong Qian chuckled: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll even give him the cards."
Su Shiqin: "..."
Nalanjing quickly returned to the main room, and Rong Xuan looked impatient to wait for her. His slender body was lying on the bed, with his head propped up on his head, and his three thousand black hair hanging down, looking extremely handsome.
Seeing her come in, he glanced at her sideways from the corner of his eye and looked away casually.
Nalanjing felt in a daze that his eyes were getting brighter and brighter.
The moonlight was cold, and there was no brazier in the house today. Nalanjing was cold, so he climbed into bed and pressed himself against the stove.
The heater has been hidden away.
Nalanjing got up in a bad mood, and dug his cold hands into his back.
His hands were clenched.
That line of sight seemed to come from the abyss, staring closely at her.
Nalanjing's heart suddenly beat very fast. She gently broke away, touched his eyes that were like rare treasures in the world, and asked in a low voice: "Can you see?"
Rong Xuan couldn't speak, but nodded.
Nalanjing opened his mouth: "How long can I see it?"
Rong Xuan could see a cloud of fog at first, and gradually he could see figures moving. His vision was the clearest tonight.
You can see her rosy cheeks, her eyes as bright as stars, and when she curls her lips and smiles, it can melt people's hearts. It is a peaceful atmosphere.
Seeing that he was just staring at her, Nalanjing stepped back uncomfortably.
Rong Xuan grabbed her waist, held her in his arms, and touched her thin shoulder with his chin, breathing hotly.
Nalanjing felt warm all over and fell asleep with his eyes closed.
Rong Xuan stared at her peacefully sleeping face, with a hint of happiness in his eyes.
The heart that had been lonely for many years now seemed to have fallen to the ground and taken root.
From now on, his heart has a destination.

Lin Xi appeared in front of Su Shirong haggardly, with a bitter look on her face.
Su Shirong's mood became worse when he heard that the eldest princess's condition had deteriorated.
Su Zhi is here.
The eldest princess looked at the man kneeling in front of her. She was sitting cross-legged on the mat, her pale face seemed to be transparent, and her cold eyes were unwavering.
Su Zhi finally promised not to peek into the Xie family's property or to pursue Su Shiqin.
He wants to be promoted back to Beijing, and there is a vacant position in Beijing right now. If he misses it, he doesn't know how many more years he will have to wait.
Going back was even more difficult for him than reaching heaven. The woman in front of him could do it with just one sentence.
The corners of the eldest princess's lips curved in a cold arc, her breath was cold, and her voice was tinged with sharpness: "I can promise you this. If Shiqin makes any mistakes in the future, I will kill you with my own hands!"
Su Zhi was unwilling, but could only compromise.
The eldest princess didn't want to see him for a moment and asked him to go out.
Su Zhi hesitated to speak and could only retreat.
Lin Xi walked in and presented the document: "Your Highness, this is the list of the next Futai recommended by Su Futai."
Su Zhi wanted to be promoted back to Beijing, and also wanted to control the power in Youzhou. Before leaving, he had been making arrangements. Nine out of ten officials below him were promoted by him.
The eldest princess glanced at him, looked away, and said calmly: "Tell Shirong that he has done a good job in treating the disease this time, and he has the qualifications to be recommended by the government."
Lin Xi glanced at her in surprise. Rather than saying that Su Shirong was successful in treating the disease, it was better to say that she was dissatisfied with Su Zhi.
The relationship between Su Shirong and Su Zhi's father and son was at odds with each other, and the person recommended by Su Shirong was definitely not what Su Zhi wanted.
Lin Xi walked out respectfully.
Su Shirong has indeed been planning to mess with Huang's father recently. His purpose is very simple, to prevent the Zhao family from taking over.
Before he could implement the plan, the eldest princess told him that he was qualified to recommend him to the government.
Su Shirong was so dizzy by the news that he was so surprised that he felt as if wealth and wealth had been thrown on his head.
Although he had not yet entered the official position, he knew very clearly that Su Zhi was disliked by the eldest princess.
Su Minyue and Mrs. Su were overjoyed when they heard that Su Zhi's promotion had been decided.
Su Minyue went directly to the Zhao family to inform them of the good news.
