Chapter 18 (Get the ledger!...)
orse in the history books.he thought at that time that Jingshun Emperor had agreed, and it couldn't have been better for him to get what he wanted, but if Jingshun Emperor refused to do so, he had not...on the second night on the mountain, in the middle of the night, the rain obviously decreased.
when the sky is in the twilight, there are only scattered raindrops, not even a drizzle, so you can no longer have an umbrella.
"stop, thank God!"
the people cheered below, and the Chen family woke up one after another.
Chen Tingjian's breakfast was useless. He took most of the guards down the mountain to check the flood situation in the town and to organize manpower to drain the way.
A young man of the Chen family also came back and reported to Sun, "Old lady, our street is so high that several families have only accumulated water in the yard and did not flood the house." The master said, let's stay in the mountain for a while, and then slowly move back when all the other people have gone down. "
Sun said, "what about the rest of the town Is the water deep "
Boy: "this is not clear, the old man sent someone else to check, but it should not be a big problem in the mountain."
it is really desperate that a severe flood can flood the roof.
Sun nodded, looked at Huayang and said to the people in the shed, "then let's wait. Now the road is full of people, crowded with people, and we can't walk happily."
Huayang is very patient. At the moment, she only cares about Chen Jingzong.
yesterday morning, taking advantage of the good opportunity for the couple to be alone under the tree, she told Chen Jingzong that there was a corrupt ledger in Qi's baggage under the pretext of a dream from the old lady. Chen Jingzong still didn't believe it, but told her not to worry anymore, saying that he would find a way to verify it.
there are four servant girls around Huayang. They can't jump directly to Qi to grab the baggage for no reason. It's not realistic to steal it in the middle of the night. I can only count on Chen Jingzong to do it. Anyway, everyone thinks he's vulgar, and it's normal for anything out of line to happen to him.
people are eager to know how their families are affected by the disaster, so they are all eager to return home. The men go first, and the women and their children walk very fast.
about an hour later, there were no other people on the road, and the Chen family began to go down the mountain.
is still a step ahead of the boys. They are used to doing hard work, and they can carry the cages faster than the ladies.
Chen Jingzong came to recite Huayang again, deliberately walking at the end of the line.
Huayang looked at Qi not far away, leaned in his ear and asked, "if you carry me, how can you get her ledger"
Chen Jingzong: "Don't worry."
Huayang looked at his handsome and loose side face and could not tell whether he had a plan or didn't take it seriously.
the mountain road is slippery and it is not easy to walk. With the exception of Chen Jingzong, almost everyone in the team stumbled, and some even fell.
seeing that the mountain road is coming to an end, and there should be flat ground ahead, Chen Jingzong asked Huayang, "is it okay if you take a few steps by yourself later"
Huayang, knowing that he was going to do it, whispered, "as long as you get the ledger, I'll be happy to fall."
Chen Jingzong scoffed that the princess, who couldn't stand the smell of sweat, really stumbled, and he might have to bunk the floor in the next few nights.
that's the way she is. No matter what she suffers in the Chen family, she will blame it on him in the end.
after taking a few more steps, Chen Jingzong laid down Huayang and gave it to Chaoyun and Chaoyue to support him. He quickened his pace and went forward.
Huayang's heart lifted up, and his eyes followed Chen Jingzong closely.
in front of the couple is Chen Jizong's family of three and the servant girl's wife.
when he heard footsteps approaching, Chen Jizong looked back and saw cousin Jima. He forbore not to peep at the beautiful princess, so he said strangely, "Why did the fourth brother come by himself"
Chen Jingzong ignored him, surpassed him and came behind Chen Tingshi and Qi.
the couple were about to turn around when Chen Jingzong said in a cold voice, "Auntie, don't move. You have a red chain snake on your shoulder."

Snake
Chen Tingshi froze, and Qi's chill ran straight from his feet to his heart, and he almost fainted.
immediately, Qi really felt as if something was crawling on his back!
if she can stand it, when a small ball of cold and greasy stuff suddenly hits the flesh of her neck, Qi is completely out of control, screaming and jumping on her feet, and her hands slapping her back indiscriminately, looking crazy.
Chen Jingzong took the opportunity to come forward and slapped the burden that had fallen on Qi's elbow against the bushes on the side of the mountain road!
the moment when the baggage left, greater fear suppressed Qi's fear of snakes. She instinctively rushed into the miscellaneous trees to retrieve the baggage, but another figure ran ahead of her. The long-legged black boots skillfully broke the miscellaneous branches, and the big hand grabbed a corner of the baggage and pulled it back rudely, but the baggage cloth was caught by the branches, pulled apart, and the contents fell out.
Qi wanted to pounce again. Chen Jingzong had already put his hand to the pile of red cloth wedding clothes and pulled out a dark red snake with thick thumbs.
the snake almost swept close to Qi's face, and Qi's pupils contracted and shouted to take the initiative to step back.
A group of people focused their attention on the snake in Chen Jingzong's hand, but Huayang saw Chen Jingzong's other hand take out an account book from his wedding dress and quickly shove it into his lower back.
before, in order to facilitate the recitation of Huayang, Chen Jingzong pinned his clothes to his waist. After stuffing his account books, Chen Jingzong put his clothes down again to cover it up.
Chen Jingzong was obviously stealing in public, but Chen Jingzong acted quickly but looked calm, standing there erect, as if nothing had happened.
Huayang remembered that when she followed her parents to visit Chen Jingzong, he was so brave and handsome and sanctimonious!
it's a good thing he's cheating on someone else now.
Qi hid behind Chen Tingshi and made sure that the snake could not bite her. She immediately looked at Chen Jingzong's hand and saw that Chen Jingzong paid no attention to the wedding dress on the ground and was observing the snake in his hand.
"didn't bite you" Chen Tingshi cares about his wife nervously.
Qi didn't have time to talk to him. With a white face, he urged Chen Jingzong, "Old four, get rid of this snake. What are you doing with it"
Chen Jingzong looked at her and smiled and said, "this snake is harmless. You can take it back and give it to the neighborhood to stew the snake soup."
Qi: "then go away. I look flustered!"
as she spoke, she glanced at the baggage and wedding clothes scattered on the ground.
Chen Jingzong didn't seem to care about those things. He clenched the snake's neck and walked back.
Huayang: …
she hurriedly hid behind the clouds.
Chaoyun looked as if he was about to cry and begged the nearer and nearer Ye Ma: "throw this thing away, the princess is also afraid!"
Chen Jingzong looked at Huayang with only his ears exposed. With a random shake on his hand, the dark red snake was thrown a few feet away and fell into the dense bushes.
"all right, throw it away."
Chen Jingzong set aside Chaoyun and stood in front of Huayang.
Huayang was in a mixed mood. He was not only glad that Chen Jingzong had got the account book, but also had a lingering fear at the scene of him holding the snake.
"go alone or shall I carry you" Chen Jingzong asked, "there are more mud pits in the road ahead."
Huayang looked at his chest and sleeves, and finally landed on the hand where he had touched the snake.
Chen Jingzong walked to the side of the road, swept his hands over the bush where Rain Water was hanging, rubbed it, and swept the bush again to wash his hands.
Huayang was not so resistant and fell on his back.
looking ahead, Qi just fumbled for the wedding dress, then checked the scattered baggage over and over again, and wanted to squat down to search for the place where the baggage had fallen.als and held another imperial meeting.there are two main things in this meeting: one is to sum up the political achievements of officials in the past year, and the other is to look forward to what the...
