: Beat the snake and follow the stick

Zeng Peiying said silently for a moment, then said, "Sir, I wonder if you have any concerns. Cheng Yunhui is a woman, and her family business will be inherited by her daughter in the future. This transaction will be signed by the court and them. If the court still comes forward to solve the Lin family's affairs for her during the shipbuilding process, what impact will this have on the court and the public?"

He Zong stopped.

Zeng Peiying continued: "Since the founding of this dynasty, women have become more and more polite. In the previous dynasty more than 20 years ago, it was impossible for the ship like Cheng Yunhui and his daughter to show up in business in the name of a woman. And then the customs of the people were so simple, there were very few things like inner houses, and women fighting. Look at it now? They can openly come out to work, and they can sit with men at the same table to discuss business. People like Wu Lanfeng even have to use the blood of their husband's family to support their parents' families. Isn't this the opposite?

"It is a last resort to letting the Wu family mother and daughter take on this job. They are already very respectful. If the court comes forward to help them deal with the matter with the Lin family, then how can they be so arrogant? How bad will this have to the people? At that time, there will be more such disputes among the people!"

He Zong is a firm defender of ethics. How could he not understand what Zeng Peiying said?

But these things were considered as early as the beginning of the decision and were no longer new.

"Even so, it is a helpless move. Our goal is to build a ship and to deliver the ship to the Maritime Administration Department as soon as possible. The dock's family is a woman. This is an unchangeable thing. Can you find another person to take charge of the matter for their family?! If you want to object, you have to object at that time, instead of interfering halfway. This not only makes me feel bored, but will also lay contradictions in the construction period in the next few years!

"I don't need to mention this matter anymore. I will make careful changes to the previous one! I will take it for me to take a look!"

He Zong brushed his sleeves and had stopped the topic.

Zeng Peiying said yes and retreated out in a dilemma.

When he walked outside the door, he saw the magistrate who was waiting for him. He winked and the two went to the official residence where the magistrate was located in the opposite direction.

There was already someone waiting in the official residence. It was a silk man in his 40s. Seeing them coming, the man greeted him in two steps: "My two, I wonder what the result was?"

"Don't mention it," the magistrate sat down unluckyly, "Mr. Zeng was criticized by Lord He just for this matter. - Go back, go back! This matter is just here!"

"It's actually this situation?"

After the man finished speaking, he quickly took out a silver note from his arms and stuffed it into his arms, "This matter must not be done like this. The adults have to serve in Cangzhou for several years, right? In the future, the Caomin and the adults will come and go frequently. This busy adult must help the Caomin!"

The magistrate raised his hand to push the bill out, and glanced at the denomination of the bill, and his momentum fell again. He sighed and said, "It's really not that he is unwilling to help. I and Lord Zeng have tried their best. Lord He can no longer come down from Taiwan. In the yamen, the guard Zhao, the guard of Zhao, complained so hard that he was a minister of the Ministry of Works, could not even come back a word. All the retreat routes were blocked by Guard Zhao. What else can we do? If you want to blame, go and blame the guard Zhao. If there is no such thing as she, the matter will be done!"

The magistrate leaned into the back of the chair despair.

"What you are talking about is the eldest lady of the Qingyun Hou Mansion who instigated Wu's family to take on this job?"

"Who else can be there except her?"

The man was speechless either.

After sitting silently for a while, he still took out two pieces of silver bills and handed them to the magistrate: "No matter what, thank you for your hard work, so you can give it some silver to your adults as tea and water bills. If you have a chance, please ask your adults to fight for it for the people."

"Why are you polite..."

The magistrate wanted to push the money back, but the man held his hand and turned around and left.

When his back left, the magistrate stuffed the money into his arms.

Wu Lanfeng was moved by what he said to Zhao Su before. After returning home, she explained something to Yuzhan and lay on the bed with Yi.

After lying for a while, when Yuzhan came back, he brought lunch in. Seeing him lying down, he thought she was uncomfortable and reached out to touch her forehead. Wu Lanfeng held her hand and sat up: "Maybe Miss Su is right. If a child is not a child, there is no need to think so much for the time being. Even if there is a child, who knows what can happen afterwards? It is not worth it for me to be depressed by him like this."

Hoshi became energetic: "Grandma has figured it out?"

Wu Lanfeng pondered: "I could have done it as planned, but the previous document from the Ministry of Works reminded me that this is what I took on the court's responsibilities and could not make any mistakes. After signing the document, I have to take responsibility and not let the ship make any mistakes. I have to fight quickly and break away from the Lin family as soon as possible, so as to avoid some hidden dangers."

Yuzhan nodded: "Grandma is very considerate. The master and the wife have been suppressing you and the third master. If they get pregnant in the future, they will definitely stop them from doing anything. The key is that the third master still doesn't know what to instigate Aunt Liu!"

Wu Lanfeng was angry: "Is he at home?"

"It seems that it's not here. But the master seems to have come back just now."

"Grandma," said this, a maid opened the curtain and walked in, "Madam asked you if you have used the meal? If you haven't, please come over after the meal. Madam has something to say."

After hearing this, Wu Lanfeng looked at the food on the table and said to Yuzhan: "That's good. I'll have dinner first. You will go back to the Wu family and tell my mother what I said just now. When you come back, I will go directly to see my wife and mention this to her."

The Jade hairpin nodded and stood up.

Wu Lanfeng called again: "You can go to the inn to find Miss Su again, tell her what I said so that she can feel at ease."

...

After the emperor finished playing "Fishership Boat Singing Evening", he played the current song at Zhao Su's request. Zhao Su was excited and wanted to listen, but he refused to sing it again. He had to let Zhao Su serve him well before he could consider it.

It is rare to have such a skillful and eye-catching musician. How could Zhao Su not obey? Anyway, she often has to do this in the palace.

So he stood under the Arhat's bed with chopsticks in his hands and wanted to cook vegetables for him. But this guy started to pick it up again: "Don't you think it's strange to stand like this?"

“…what to stay?”

The emperor pointed to the opposite side: "You have to sit down so that you can leave no trace."

Zhao Su had no choice but to sit down.

The emperor looked at the fat and tender fish belly meat she handed over and said, "Try the poison first."

Zhao Su was speechless. How could the food Han Jun ordered was poisonous? He only tried it for him last night, so he gave up his errands?

He is really good at swearing!
