Chapter 168 you have not seen the world

“The court has no money to count the money of people merchants?” He Zong twisted his head, “What have you buried the Da Liang court into?”

“That’s not what I meant.” Zeng Peiying explained, “The court does not take a penny more, mainly because they and the Lin family side of things we do not need to get involved, it is said that it is difficult for officials to intervene in family affairs, look at today you proposed to let Wu Lanfeng divorce, that Cheng Yunhui also turned around and said that the adults want to force Wu Lanfeng to go down to the hall, at that time, if we really intervene, the Lin family is not going to speak out to blame?

“It’s not that we need to count the money of their widows and orphans, but we need to take precautions, anyway, don’t we need to sign the paperwork? If the responsibility for the delay lies with them, isn’t it only natural for them to bear the loss?”

He Zong mused, “That’s what I said, but it doesn’t seem upright enough.”

“Your honor is naturally a man of integrity, but if something really goes wrong, we can’t afford to take the blame. This pot we can not afford to back ah, when the errand is stranded, can get an indemnity, or to the court is not?”

He Zong pondered with his hands folded for a moment and said, “Let’s see what they ask for tomorrow.”

Zeng Peiying said no more.

The moon rises gradually, the city’s hustle and bustle gradually fade away, but the pier is still lively, the lights on the ship, boatmen come and go, some on the next cargo, some are ready to go home after work.

Moored to the shore of the ship, there are commercial ships and passenger ships, the cabin came from a burst of laughter, and the sound of the piano. Compared to the busy and crowded daytime, the two sides of the pier were quiet and prosperous at this time.

Zhao Su accompanied the emperor all the way along the riverbank, taking advantage of the night breeze to take a walk is not a bad mood, see this scene, she stopped and pointed towards the river: “Look, this is your prosperous river and mountain!”

The emperor stopped next to her, raised his eyes: “Canal these years is good, and did not encounter any major floods, the annual grain is on time to the north into the warehouse, the north and south of the circulation of goods more and more frequently. The Ministry of Public Works still made achievements, He Zong is not useless.”

Although Zhao Su knew that the late Emperor and Empress Dowager Lu had a way of recognizing people, even if the Emperor was confused, they wouldn’t put someone who couldn’t do anything in the position of Minister of the Six Ministries, but that bad old man was just too old-fashioned, making her unable to admit this for a while.

“If he wasn’t so antiquated, I guess their He family wouldn’t be able to make this joke.”

That matter of He Wan Yu has yet to come to a head, although she doesn’t know the He family particularly well, she always feels that He Minhong can insist on marrying back a woman like Mrs. He as a zongwu, and He Minhong and his wife have taught a daughter like He Wan Yu, which to a certain extent shows that there are some problems with their family’s education.

The emperor lightly raised the corner of his lips, slowly walking forward: “True, like you are extremely good at being able to bend and stretch the way not many.”

Zhao Su looked at him while walking: “You are not insinuating me, right?”

“You are always good at insinuating, do you still not know if I am insinuating or not?”

He was so slick!

Zhao Su does not argue with him, looking at the starry lights on the river, she takes a deep breath and smells the scent of fresh grass, “It’s really like a summer night in the countryside!”

The emperor sidled his head, “You have memories of the countryside?”

“Yes, although my family lives in the county, but when I was a child, my family still had fields, and when it came to the busy farming season, I always had to go down to the countryside with my grandparents to plow.

“They planted rice seedlings, I will be at home to cook, send tea and so on, when the harvest, go to pick up the ears of rice. When we had to go for several days in a row, we stayed in the old house in the countryside.

“If it’s summer, the lotus pond in front of the door is in bloom, and when you take a cool ride at night, even the wind blowing is fragrant. The sky is full of stars, while the ground is filled with fireflies, it’s very comfortable and unforgettable.”

When Zhao Su finished speaking, he realized that the emperor wasn’t following, so he stopped his pace and turned back.

The Emperor was two steps behind, not knowing how long he had been watching her.

Zhao Su asked him, “What’s wrong with you?”

The emperor slowly stepped forward and looked down into her eyes, “Why did you come here?”

Within the eyes of the phoenix, this gaze is as quiet as a ghostly river, like sitting in the morning court hall, listening to the various reports of him, the mood does not see the slightest ripple.

Zhao Su aura flash, but suddenly understood the meaning of his words …… She stood still for a moment and then turned to face him: “The truth is not to hide, I really do not know. I just accidentally arrived here on the way by car. Whether you believe it or not, crossing over this kind of thing happened to me, indeed I just can’t find any reason for it.”

This was the first time the emperor mentioned this topic with a straight face after she had explained where she came from, in fact, she was relieved in her heart that this was finally asked, and it would also give her a chance to dissect her story, otherwise it would be like sticking a thorn in her side.

Whether he believed it or not, at least she had to say what she needed to say.

Her grandmother is actually more believe in ghosts and gods, will also be one or two hands of science are difficult to explain the treatment of the earth, such as the charm of the water to cure the fish fish throat, children can not be frightened to calm down and other symptoms, are very common some of the folk formula, of course, said the superstitious also line.

From childhood contact with these, she has never thought of crossing this kind of thing will really happen, and also easy to happen in their own body, not to mention took over a pair of practical couple fought down the river and mountain of him?

The emperor looked at her who was kicking the roadside weeds one by one, “But I see that you seem to have adapted quite quickly, and have even become a fan of the Empress Dowager?”

“That’s of course because as soon as I came over I was caught in a passive situation, thinking that it would be good if I could survive, what else could I think about? You have to adapt even if you can’t.”

Zhao Su looked at the river and shrugged.

A person in an unfamiliar situation, for her is not the first time, from leaving home to go to school boarding, to later enter the workplace, to participate in a variety of necessary but awkward social circles, she is not qualified to be pretentious, because she does not try to adapt to, and there is no one to come to reach out to pull her. Some things, really, are just habit.

Who wants to ambulate? Who wants to be a social animal? But she grew up, only so a way of self-protection, she did not have to what can be done?

Really want her to become the Empress Dowager Lu like the big killers and conquerors of the city, she can not change.

The river bank is still very long, the young girl’s figure in the river and the night sky background reflection looks a little weak, but the river wind can only lift up her dress, no matter how can not shake her body.

In the emperor’s eyes, the former Zhao Su – no, the capital city’s thousand gold, is rarely so free and determined.

This soul had transformed Zhao Su into a new character who was still a headache, but inexplicably impossible to ignore.

If at first the emperor was a bit wary of her, then it must have turned into some curiosity. And at this moment, he couldn’t even speak of the emotions in his heart.
