"Madam, I am not the kind of person who cares about resentment. Whether it is resentment or gratitude, I don't care about these old things at all!"

"Then why do you still have to speak out and press forward step by step?"

"You are right. I am forcing him to step on the same boat as my Chang family! Madam, don't you understand? He is a family with hereditary title. As long as he does not make trouble, the Han family can continue this family for generations. We are different! If we do not restore our country, we will be filled with names and names in more than ten years! What face will we have to see your father at that time?"

Mrs. Ye was sobbing in tears when she spoke, she just started to persuade: "Zhiqiu..."

Ye Zhiqiu was already angry and interrupted her: "My name is not Zhiqiu, this is not my name at all! Madam is afraid that she has almost forgotten what my name is, right?"

"Zhiqiu... Why are you suffering? No matter how you are, you and I have been a person for most of your life. Why can't you let go of these obsessions and live a peaceful life? Even if you become a pile of names and names in the future. But you and I have good weather and peace in this life are already a blessing that cannot be obtained in misfortune. Are you unwilling to spend the rest of your life with me? You have said since you were a child that you must protect me and not let anyone hurt me. But now you are trying your best to plan secretly every day, and every thing you are terrified of. Have you already had any thoughts about Concubine Jing that Han Fu told you just now? When will you let me go? Let us live some ordinary days?"

"Madam, I know that I have no choice but to marry you. I shouldn't be striking you like this today, but I must let you know that as long as we still have the surname Chang, we will never forget the hatred of this family!"

When Mrs. Ye heard this, she cried and said, "But the one I was willing to marry was not a descendant of the Chang family. I just married a man named Ye Zhiqiu, a person who was willing to love me, that's all!"

When Ye Zhiqiu was about to say something else, suddenly the footsteps sounded outside the hall. I thought that Ye Yin had returned from looking at the lights, so she had to look at Mrs. Ye hatefully and leave with her sleeves.

After a while, Ye Yin stepped into the hall and saw her mother crying on the chair. She was shocked and asked, "Mother, what's wrong?"

Mrs. Ye was crying sadly and couldn't hide it, so she had to answer: "I have a few words to argue with your father, it won't be a problem."

"My father never argues with his mother. Is there anything that can make his mother so angry?"

"It's nothing, it's just... it's just that I want to go and see the lights too. Your father doesn't want to accompany me."

Ye Yin was surprised that looking at the lights was a big deal. If you can quarrel like this, there must be a hidden story. Just as she was about to ask again, Mrs. Ye started crying again.

"I have always wanted to see your father with him like ordinary people and go to the market, and have no other extravagance, but...but he just doesn't want to."

Ye Yin was even more strange. For such a trivial matter, his mother actually cried so fiercely, but she didn't look like she was telling a lie. What was going on?

"My father has always been lazy and went out. This year's lantern festival has already ended. Why not let me go with my mother next year?"

Mrs. Ye looked tearful and unable to answer, so she had to force a smile out of her mind, not to comment.

This is exactly:

Every year, the flowers in the market are as bright as the day, and the light is just different.

This love is difficult to resolve the old hatred, and it is hard to stop the East Water.

*******

There are people coming and going on the street in front of the Xinyang County Government in Jingzhou Prefecture, and traffic is everywhere. It’s not because Xinyang County has developed business, but on the contrary, there are not many shops in the entire county town, so they just crowded together on the same street.

Li Chongyan, the "county magistrate" of Xinyang County, has become accustomed to the environment here and will go out to the streets when he has nothing to do. The father asked him to go back to the imperial capital to go to the Ministry of Rites to experience it at the end of the month. It should have been a happy thing. After all, he was unwilling to stay in such a remote place in the past.

But this Xinyang County was a place where he had spent his best efforts. It was only a month later that he was reluctant to leave.

It’s like planting a pot of flowers yourself, no matter how bad it looks, it’s good to look.

The sun was sunny and sunny, and Li Chongyan planned to go out again. He specifically told Eunuch Wang not to follow him, and by the way, let the Dragon Police guards guarding far away, Eunuch Wang guessed what he meant and obediently informed him.

Eunuch Wang, who has always been considerate, is so relieved that he will go out alone?

Because Eunuch Wang knew where Li Chongyan was going.

Since Li Chongyan met the boy named Cao Xiwen, he would go to him to drink and chat every now and then. Cao Xiwen had nothing else, but he was quite good in terms of martial arts and was also cheerful. Eunuch Wang secretly asked the Dragon Police Guard to disguise himself as a barrister to test him, and he had a certain young heroic ability and style. So, when you are with him, your highness should be nothing serious. Besides, your highness didn't want Cao Xiwen to know his identity before. He said that it was rare to have a person of similar age, and what he wanted was this freedom.

Of course, the most critical reason why Li Chongyan went out without a guard was that he believed that he was the master of Qingtian in Xinyang County.

That is absolutely inevitable. A poor place like Xinyang County has never suffered any more since he became the county magistrate.

Money, grain tax? Free!

A local tyrant and a bad gentry? Fight!

Disaster Relief Bank? Double!

The road is broken, repair it!

The bridge is broken, made!

As long as I, Li Chongyan, want to do it, what can’t be done?

If there is no one, I will ask Jingzhou Prefecture, and if there is no money, I will ask Jingzhou Prefecture.

The county magistrate does things that benefit the people, and he is always a serious reason for taking the initiative wherever he goes. He is absolutely justified in asking for money.

Speaking of this, Li Chongyan felt that the prefect of Jingzhou was quite sensible. He immediately gave the money to build roads and borrowed artificial bridges to allocate them from the neighboring county.

This prefect is simply the Maitreya Buddha in the temple, and he will respond to all his requests. It’s just a little strange. Every time I go to the mansion to ask for it, I always happen to be unable to meet the prefect himself. I either have a bad time or go out for inspection.

But what does that matter? Anyway, the prefect will solve the problem for you or not. If you don’t see me, wouldn’t you even be polite and be happy?

How could he know that the prefect of Jingzhou was Li Zhuo, who called the magistrate who made Li Zisou in Cifang Ancient Town to the post station when he was on a mission to Bihai last year. It was because he met him that Li Zhuo found out that Li Chongyan was the magistrate who came to serve with a hidden identity, so he hid and did not dare to see him, for fear of breaking the window paper and breaking the holy will.

So whenever Li Chongyan appears at the Jingzhou Prefecture Office, Li Zhuo will quickly go into the table and ask the people under his command to greet him. He also told him to answer everything regardless of what Li Chongyan made.

Should come down.

This is the crown prince. Not to mention that he wants some money and people, he even wants the moon in the sky, Li Zhuo has to pick it for him.

So in just a month, Xinyang County will be in a new atmosphere.

The matter of bullying the people in the county has gone away. Who can dominate the selfless "Li Qingtian"? In the past, the tyrants dared to ride on the county magistrate because they had collusion with the prefect Li Zhuo. Now, when Li Zhuo heard that it was the tyrant of Xinyang County who came to the mansion to complain, he beat them back with sticks. In a blink of an eye, the tyrants became tyrants.

There is no more robbery, and the troublemakers are all fed. Who will do that after eating? However, the bandits on the surrounding mountains are very jealous. I heard that the disaster relief bank has doubled, so I wanted to start.

When Li Chongyan heard this, he could not get me. The person came and posted the notice. If anyone caught a bandit who was robbed from abroad, he would be given 80 taels of silver if he caught a living person, and would be given 100 taels of silver if he was cut to death on the spot!

So the bandits came, but they didn't enter the county town. They were guarding the edge of the county town, staring at the passers-by with black eyes, watching who was coming to rob, and were about to take the knife and rob the head. The more this happened, the less anyone dared to do it, for fear that they would be regarded as bandits as soon as they pulled the sword, and turned into a hundred taels of silver reward in someone else's pocket.

Being rich and powerful is just a pleasure, and even being a county magistrate is so happy.

Gradually, Li Chongyan felt that walking on this dilapidated street in Xinyang County was also a pleasure. The people knew him and greeted him and shouted Li Qingtian. The feeling was even more comfortable than others calling him the crown prince before.

In this way, Li Chongyan was still alone when he first left the house. When he walked through the most prosperous street, there were already two servants and a bunch of things behind him.

The shopkeeper saw "Li Qingtian" coming from afar. He hurriedly greeted the two servants and brought two jars of wine to meet him. Yao Po roast chicken shop next door brought another chicken, and Lin's roast chicken shop on the street added two cages of roasted rice. "Li Qingtian" collected a bunch of things and was proud to hit Old Man Liu who had just returned from the mountains, so he took four fresh mud bamboo shoots as thick as his arms. Before he could pull his feet, the butcher next to him smiled and lifted two packs of pork belly, saying that it would be best to stew with the bamboo shoots.

"Li Qingtian" had long forgotten that he had said that he would not take the people one needle and one thread at a time. It was just food, how much money could it be worth? Moreover, Li Chongyan was not greedy for this thing, but the feeling was so good when others offered it to him. It was strange that no matter how many rare treasures others gave to him in the palace, he was not so happy. Why did he collect a few branches of mud bamboo shoots and jars of wine now and enjoy it so much?

However, Li Chongyan collected these things mainly for Cao Xiwen.

Cao Xiwen's family is endless, but he is definitely not rich. He is a martial arts practitioner and has a meal of three times that of Li Chongyan. He almost scared Li Chongyan when he drank and had a meal together for the first time. His grandmother kept sighing beside him, and he occupied half of the food at home. After hearing this, Li Chongyan took out the money to give it to Cao Xiwen, but Cao Xiwen glared back at a glance.

"If you want to pay, don't eat here."

Li Chongyan has been growing up, and no one around him dares to talk to him like this, but he actually took back the money obediently.

A good friend is rare.

Later, Li Chongyan thought of a way, and before going to Cao Xiwen's house, he went to the street for a walk and received some things.

He found that Cao didn't mind the things sent by these neighbors.
