Early the next morning, Chu Nanzhi was sound asleep when she was awakened by a burst of crying.
She opened her eyes and saw Lin Jinxiao walking in. Sibao Lin Ruijia was sitting on the bed, crying sadly and rubbing her eyes.
The two of them looked at each other, and then heard Si Bao's crisp voice crying: "Auntie, daddy, I peed on the bed again."
Chu Nanzhi reached out and touched the bottom of her buttocks, which was still wet and steaming. She immediately hugged the little one with a guilty look on her face and comforted her in a good voice: "It's okay, we can just let the people in the post house clean it up later.
"
It's also my fault for being careless. I should have put some fabric on the bed for her.
Well, I really am not a competent mother.
She hurriedly stood up holding Si Bao, but Lin Jinxiao said: "You go wash up and put on your makeup first, I will take care of Si Bao."
Chu Nanzhi nodded thoughtfully. Although she didn't like makeup and the like, she was not as neat as men like them. She carefully put the little one on the bed and whispered softly: "Baby, let your father wash it for you."
Just change your clothes and it’ll be fine.”
Si Bao grabbed Lin Jinxiao's clothes, nodded with tears in his eyes, and then stopped crying.
Seeing Lin Jinxiao holding Si Bao and arranging her clothes, Chu Nanzhi thought that they didn't bring any change of clothes, so while getting clothes from the package, she discussed with him: "I will go to the county government later, you and Shu Yang will bring them
Si Bao will go out and buy two changes of ready-made clothes for each of you."
After saying that, he deliberately emphasized: "Bring a cane."
"I asked Sanlang to send two government officials to accompany them out, and I will accompany you to the county government office."
Today is the beginning of the purge of officials in Haikang County. He must go there in person. Once he finds a suitable opportunity, he will immediately take advantage of the situation and catch them off guard.
After saying that, Lin Jinxiao calmly took out a thick stack of banknotes from his arms and put them on the table: "Put the banknotes away."
Chu Nanzhi turned around and saw that the banknotes on the table were much thicker than before. She was surprised when she took them over and counted them carefully. She couldn't help shouting: "Where did you get so many banknotes?"
It only lasted a few days, but it still accrued interest.
Lin Jinxiao replied unhurriedly: "I heard from Chang Lao that the Empress Dowager sent Princess Shu to reward the Lin clan people in Luyan Port with a thousand taels of gold. Chang Lao was worried that it would be inconvenient for me to carry it, so he exchanged it for ten thousand taels."
Two silver notes."
Chu Nanzhi suddenly understood and nodded: "Since it is a reward from the palace, you can just take it and distribute it to the Lin clan when the time comes. Why did you give it to me?"
"You are my wife, and you have always taken care of the family's livelihood. My mentor handed the banknote to me instead of to the head of the Lin family, so naturally he wanted you to control the money."
Lin Jinxiao acted indifferently.
His attitude towards the tribesmen in Luyanggang is like treating money as a matter of principle and dispensable.
Chu Nanzhi thought that in the past, the money at home was in the hands of the original owner, and she could not refuse anymore, lest he become suspicious again, so she obeyed and kept the banknotes.
Just thinking about what happened in the past few days, she became even more puzzled and couldn't help but ask: "Lin Dalang, you have just taken office now and have not made any achievements. Why does the Empress Dowager want to reward you as a member of the Lin clan?"
"Go and speculate on what the Empress Dowager is thinking."
Lin Jinxiao pulled Si Bao out of bed, put on the crutches and started to walk out. He urged in a gentle voice: "Go and put on your makeup quickly. Don't waste time. I told you everything that needs to be explained yesterday."
Chu Nanzhi followed out confusedly, but she was muttering in her heart.
If it was because of his encouragement to the Lin clan in Luyanggang, it would make sense for the Empress Dowager to reward Lin Jinxiao and his clan members so favorably.
After all, the lineage of King Pingning has indeed withered horribly in the past hundred years, and there are not even a few county magistrates. According to what Lin Jinxiao said yesterday, in order to resist the Baiyu and Dongsang people, it is a gimmick to reuse the clan children.
But after asking about Xie Jingchen's gossipy anecdotes, she now always starts to wonder about the posthumous child.
Moreover, people who are promoted have to take a bus to Beijing to report on their work and take the assessment. He took office immediately, and even Li Ce followed suit. This is a bit ridiculous. Could it be because of Princess Jinshu and the two elders?
Maybe I really was worrying too much.
During the time since I came here, I have had enough bad luck. It would be even more unbelievable if I spoiled a posthumous son of the former prince.
With a dazed look, Chu Nanzhi fetched water and slowly washed her face, then combed her hair. The maid from the post house brought breakfast in, and the family of three sat down at the dining table and started eating.
Lin Jinxiao peeled an egg and put it into Chu Nan Zhi bowl. Then he peeled the egg for Si Bao and said:
"I don't really recommend that you give the money directly to the clan members. You have seen the flamboyant temperament of the clan uncle. There is no need to make a fuss about this matter. This is why the teacher gave the reward of the Empress Dowager to me instead of
His reasons."
Hearing this, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but snorted coldly: Maybe they just gave you a favor and just changed the reason.
But thinking about Lin Tingzhen, the head of the Lin family, it is indeed a headache. Last time Princess Jinshu just called the pretty boy "Emperor Brother" in front of her face, and the old guy got carried away and called himself "Emperor Uncle" in front of Zheng Haichuan.
.
If he were to know that the Empress Dowager had rewarded the Luyan Ganglin clan members, he would probably want to drive a carriage around the entire Dahe Empire to show off.
Lin Jinxiao peeled the eggs for Si Bao, put some vegetables into the bowl for her, and said to himself: "In the future, if you like people in the clan, you can help them. If you meet someone you hate, don't worry about them."
Their life and death, anyway, they are so lazy and accustomed to relying on their ancestors' wealth that few of them can support them."
Chu Nanzhi listened silently, but no matter how she listened, she felt that his words were a bit of a gift.
In front of the little guy, she didn't have much to say, so she took some vegetables to Si Bao, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Eat quickly. After you finish eating, let your uncle take you to the market to buy new clothes."
When he heard that he wanted to buy new clothes, Si Baole blossomed and responded with a smile before he buried his head and started eating seriously.
At this time, Liu Shuyang and Ma Laifu came in from outside together. After resting for a night, the son-in-law's complexion was much better than yesterday.
Chu Nanzhi took out ten taels of silver and handed it to Liu Shuyang. According to the pre-planned plan, he asked him to take the four treasures to the market to find a shop to buy clothes. Ma Laifu happened to lead the way, while he and Lin Jinxiao went to the county government office.
.
When I walked into the county government office of Haikang County for the second time, there was a huge difference compared to yesterday. The county captain Qi Luan was missing from the courtroom, and instead, Lin Jinxiao and Hu Maoxi were sitting and listening.
The county magistrate Kang Mingyuan knocked down the gavel, so gently that there was almost no sound. The three words "lead the criminal" were even less majestic than yesterday, and more solemn and easy-going. He sat upright and looked as kind and approachable as possible.
good parent-official image.
When everything was ready, he secretly looked at Lin Jinxiao and Hu Maoxi who were sitting on the side of the hall. Seeing that there was no difference on their faces, he finally let out a sigh of relief:
As long as he maintains this gentle and elegant attitude, until this case is concluded and this god of plague is sent away, the world of Haikang County will still belong to him and Kang.
After all, this guy was not his boss, so he would not be staring at him in front of the county government office in Haikang County every day with his sword of emperor and his identity as a member of the Lin clan.
In the last few days, there are still monthly ticket drops for the fairy sisters to have fun and hit the rankings.
