"Shangshu Lu, you are so blushing and slandering the imperial officials with white teeth. What's your intention?" When Lord Chen heard Lord Lu say this, he suddenly exploded and asked with a blushing face and thick neck.

"Similarly, what's the intention of Lord Chen slandering Magistrate Lin without any evidence?" Lu Shaojin didn't take Lord Chen seriously at all, and said calmly.

In one sentence, Lord Chen choked there. "It's true that he got more than 100,000 taels of silver from the merchant. There were more than 100 merchants who testified that I didn't slander him." Lord Chen said with his neck stammering.

"What if County Magistrate Lin spent all the money on building the embankment? How could this be said to be County Magistrate Lin's corruption?" Lord Lu smiled contemptuously, "Before the matter was clear, just talking nonsense, Lord Chen, the position of Minister of Personnel, is afraid that someone will be replaced?"

"Your Majesty, I think that Magistrate Lin is doing the right thing. During a severe drought, the water level is also lower, so building a dam can be more solid. There are unexpected situations in the world, who can guarantee that there will be no flood in the future? If you repair it at this time, you will definitely save a lot of trouble in the future. Your Magistrate Lin, who has been in the past, does not plan for the whole world, is not enough to plan for a while. It is rare for Magistrate Lin to be able to look at the long-term. Unlike some people, they are obviously short-sighted but not conscious." Lu Shaojin ignored those, and directly said that Lord Chen was short-sighted.

The emperor nodded and was in a good mood. Lu Shaojin was worthy of being his confidant. These words really meant to say everything he wanted to say. "Lu Aiqing is right. Lin Zixuan has already submitted memorials for building a dam, and I am also sure. As for the collection of some silver from the merchants, it is reasonable. Which county in the world does not collect from the merchants when using the money? Why did Lin Zixuan impeach and others have not? My dear friends, is there any tricks in this?"

The emperor's tone was cold, and all the ministers below were worried. Lin Zixuan was the top scorer at the time, but he was sent to such a remote place by the emperor. Everyone thought that the emperor would go to Zhendong because of his refusal to marry the princess and let him die. However, unexpectedly, in the past few years, Lin Zixuan has made considerable achievements in Zhendong. Some people will inevitably have some thoughts. There were a few ministers who wanted to agree with Lord Chen's words just now, but now they wiped the cold sweat from their heads and thought it was very dangerous.

"If you have nothing else to do with your family, then leave the court." The emperor was a little uneasy. The things in the court were not told, "The good and evil are just because of interests. Over the years, he has seen through it. As long as these ministers can handle the things they have assigned, it would be good. It would be fine if they don't involve the interests of these people. If their own interests are damaged, then wait for them to make trouble.

The eunuch beside him shouted, and then the emperor retreated to the morning court and left.

After June, it rained two rains here in Zhendong, which finally alleviated the drought. Under Zixuan's order, the embankments in various places had been completely built on June 12th and the moat was completed. However, due to the previous severe drought, there was no water in the newly dug moat.

Zixuan was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. On the night of completion, Zixuan lay down and went to bed early. Until the end of Chen in the morning the next morning, he had not woken up. Jinghan knew that Zixuan was exhausted physically and mentally and should have relaxed, so he continued to instruct him not to disturb Zixuan and let him have a good sleep.

The sky outside was a bit cloudy. Jinghan was idle and had nothing to do, so he coaxed his two sons to play in the yard.

"Jinghan, why do I look like it's going to rain this day? You said it's strange. It didn't even rain half a drop of rain all the time in May. It's been June, but it's been several consecutive games. I hope it won't keep raining like this, otherwise, it's really like the old farmers said, and it's going to cause heavy floods." Qian was holding something in his hand and feeding Jinghan's second son Qingyao to eat.

Jinghan looked up at the sky and sighed. "Auntie, God wants to show his power, and no one of us can do anything about it. We come to this east town. Not only will it be good for the past few years, but it will be almost the same. Today's weather is really abnormal. Fortunately, we have done everything we should do, and the rest can only be left to fate."

While he was talking, Jinghan heard something moving in the room and laughed. "Zixuan woke up, I'll go in and take a look." He said that, and got up and entered the room.

After entering the inner room, Zixuan woke up. Maybe he had slept a lot and was a little confused. "Madam, when is it time?"

"It's already the beginning of the day. I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so it didn't make anyone disturb you. Anyway, things are almost done now, so you should take a break. I'm really exhausted this time." Jinghan came to Zixuan and reached out to touch Zixuan's thin cheeks.

Zixuan held Jinghan's hand and smiled, "Aren't you the same? Look at you, you are darker and thinner than before. Jinghan, after I'm over, let's resign and return home. I'm a little tired of doing this official. I'm tired of doing it. I'm not able to do it with my wife and children. In the end, I'll be criticized by Shangguan after doing it. This official is really boring. Besides, we have been out for a few years and I haven't been able to go back to see my parents. It's really unfilial."

Since the two of them came to this town, they have not been able to go back during the Chinese New Year because Jinghan got pregnant and had a child. That is, Jinghan just lived home for that period of time, and Zixuan was involved in business, so he had no chance to go back.

"Okay, you can do whatever you want. If you become an official, I will accompany you. If you go home to farm, I will accompany you too. No matter what you do, I will be your wife, and I will always be by your side." Jinghan smiled. To be honest, Zixuan is too straightforward and is very serious in his work. He will not be able to do anything lip service. In the officialdom, if it weren't for Li Mingrui's care, he would have offended someone and been dismissed from office.

"With this kind of wife, what else can the husband ask for?" Zixuan sighed.

"Okay, get up and wash up quickly. Don't go to the yamen today. Let's play with me and my sons at home. Have a good rest for a day so that we can cheer up and handle business tomorrow. We don't care about the future. Now that we are still in this position, we must be worthy of the local people. We will be a monk and hit the clock for a day. We have to do what we should do." Jinghan found clean clothes and asked Zixuan to change them.

Zixuan changed his clothes and washed them again. Then the two of them left the house. They happened to see Qingyuan getting a grasshopper from somewhere and were playing with it.

As soon as Qingyuan saw his father, he ran over and said, "Dad, hug me." He stretched out his little arm and asked Zixuan to hug me.

Qingyuan's appearance is as good as Zixuan. Only those eyes are very lively. You can tell at a glance that they are a ghost spirit, like Jinghan.

Zixuan bent over and picked up his eldest son, looked at the big grasshopper in his son's hand, "Who caught this for you?"

"It was Uncle Changxing who caught it. Uncle said that this thing can be roasted and eaten. He also said that when he was young, he loved to catch this thing the most." Qingyuan frowned slightly, and it was a little difficult to understand why Uncle Changxing liked to eat this big bug?

Zixuan smiled, and his son's words evoked memories of childhood. Isn't it? His favorite thing in the past was to go to the wilderness, catch such big grasshoppers, then pull off their heads, throw them into the fire and cook them. At that time, this was a rare delicacy.

"Son, these things were eaten by Dad when he was a child. At that time, there was no good stuff to eat, so Dad would take his second uncle to catch grasshoppers outside and cook them. Now you have a lot of delicious food, so let's keep them for fun." Zixuan looked at the big grasshopper in Qingyuan's hand. Not to mention, it's really big. The thighs behind had been taken off and the wings were also removed, leaving only the four calves in front. This guy was doomed.

"Well, I don't want to eat it, so keep it for me to play." Although Qingyuan is small, he is very eloquent and doesn't look like a four-year-old child at all. "Dad, my brother is watching you, please put me down and hug me. You haven't played with us for a long time." Qingyuan loved his younger brother Qingyao very much, twisting his small body, and asked Zixuan to let him go.

Zixuan put down his eldest son, then took the younger son from Jinghan's arms, and kissed Qingyao's tender little face. "Son, do you miss your father?"

This little guy is only one year and two months old. He doesn't know how to say a lot, but just smiles and lies on Zixuan's body. He calls his father in his mouth, and then kisses Zixuan directly on the face.

Zixuan was extremely satisfied, "Madam, when will we have a daughter? If there is another daughter, that would be even better." Zixuan still hoped to have a daughter, a daughter like Jinghan.

Jinghan laughed, where can they decide on this matter?

Chunxing came over, "Master, Madam, lunch has been prepared in the kitchen. Should you have dinner first? Master didn't have dinner in the morning." Chuntao is now married, Chunxing is young and has not yet gotten married after being engaged. Of course, they are not married to others, but the two servants that Chu Zixuan brought from his family, Changxing and Changwang. These two people are now able to serve as the manager.

"Then let's have a meal first. After the meal, let's go out for a walk." Zixuan was a little hungry at this moment, so he hugged his younger son and led his eldest son into the house.

After lunch, the whole family went out shopping. There are many shops in Zhendong County today, and everything is available. Zixuan bought Qingyuan a ceramic mask and a small windmill for Qingyao. The two little guys were so happy that they hugged Zixuan and kissed him hard.

Jinghan walked behind, looking at the big and two small in front of him, and felt that he was really satisfied. Maybe there would be children again in the future. At that time, there would be a bunch of small radish heads, and that scene would definitely be more fun.
