Rong Jiu looked at him from a distance, his eyes falling to the ground.

Is a crisis resolved by Cheng Qing just like this?

"There is only one fur coat left. Those refugees believe this kind of thing..."

Cheng Qing is the top scorer with six yuan at least. Even if he can't afford 100,000 taels of silver, he doesn't know how many people are scrambling to give the silver to Cheng Qinghua.

As they headed south, merchants on both sides of the canal donated silver to provide disaster relief. Haven’t they given money to Cheng Qing in private?

Cheng Qing’s lies are so clumsy!

Cheng Zhixu also took everything in his eyes.

Seeing Rongjiu being angry, Cheng Zhixu asked him: "If you are the top scholar who is ranked six yuan and are also coming to Huainan for disaster relief, would you be willing to lose your official position like Cheng Qing to stop Shixian's epidemic?"

Rong Jiu's first reaction was to shake his head, and he was afraid that Cheng Zhixu would have a bad impression of him, so he wanted to explain a few words, but Cheng Zhixu interrupted him:

"No need to explain, I am not willing to do it like you. I am not as talented as Cheng Qing in the examination. I have been studying hard for more than ten years to get the qualification to become an official. Now I am not easy to get a third-rank official. I am reluctant to take risks for the refugees I have never known... But Cheng Qing dares, so Cheng Qing seeks benevolence and gets kindness. No matter what he says now, refugees are willing to believe him!"

The refugees are definitely not smart and easy to fiddle with, otherwise they would not have to go to the capital to beat the drums and shout for justice for Cheng Qing when they are encouraged.

If the refugees really want to go to Beijing to beat the drums, Cheng Qing's career will be completely over.

But precisely because the refugees are not smart, once they trust Cheng Qing, they will believe whatever Cheng Qing says!

Cheng Zhixu was filled with emotion when he watched Cheng Qing from a cold eye.

Although my eldest brother Cheng Zhiyuan died early, it would be worth it even if he died!

Maybe he would have to keep his name in history... Cheng Zhixu used to advise Cheng Gui not to compare with Cheng Qing, because everyone was not of the same level.

It seems that he is right now, and he should not compare, because Cheng Gui is not as good as Cheng Qing. Even though Cheng Gui married Gao's granddaughter and Cheng Qing is now demoted to a commoner, Cheng Gui is still far from Cheng Qing.

Just demoting to common people means that the emperor will suppress Cheng Qing for several years.

But while the emperor demoted Cheng Qing to a commoner, he also sent Cheng Qing to Huainan to quell the rebellion, which was clearly intended to make Cheng Qing a meritorious service.

Cheng Qing doesn’t even need to do too much. She will be promoted if she returns to the capital alive and returns to the capital alive!

Different positions and different concepts interpret the emperor's will into two different meanings. Cheng Qing felt that the emperor was suppressing first and then promoting, and deliberately giving kindness, and was thinking about nothing! From Cheng Zhixu, he saw the emperor's love for Cheng Qing.

Cheng Qing, the top scholar who ranked six yuan, was just auspicious and a decoration before.

After leaving Huainan, Cheng Qing truly caught the emperor's eyes!

Cheng Zhixu took Rong Jiu and Cheng Qing was over. Cheng Qing was over. Seeing Cheng Zhixu, Cheng Qing was so happy and solemnly introduced to a group of refugees:

"This is Lord Cheng, the Minister of Personnel, a third-rank official of the court, and my uncle. When I leave Wuhe County, my second uncle will take good care of everyone!"

When you need it, you are the second uncle, and when you don’t need it, you are the Minister of State Cheng.

Cheng Zhixu had long understood Cheng Qing's routine, and now he was calm. He had to accompany Cheng Qing to have a show, so that the refugees who had kneeled all over the ground could get up quickly.

Cheng Zhixu came to explain to Cheng Qing specifically that Cheng Zhixu could take care of refugees outside Wuhe County. He was sent by the imperial court to provide disaster relief. When the supplies were abundant, he would not watch refugees starve to death or freeze to death.

Even Cheng Qing has been insisting on preventing and controlling the epidemic, Cheng Zhixu can continue to do it.

It won’t be done by yourself, but he can send someone to supervise it.

Cheng Zhixu was so sincere that Cheng Qing felt that this person had something to ask for.

"If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly. If my nephew can do it, it will definitely do it for the second uncle."

If she couldn't do it, she could only say she was sorry. It was impossible for Cheng Qing to go through fire and water for the other party, or agree to the other party's unreasonable request just because Cheng Zhixu was willing to take care of the refugees.

Cheng Zhixu smiled, "Don't worry, I will not make things difficult for you. I only have one requirement for you. I will act cautiously when I go to Huainan. You may not value your own life, but there is the entire Nanyi Cheng family behind you."

Cheng Zhixu was afraid that Cheng Qing would act boldly and implicate the entire clan.

Although the second family has split up, we are still in the same clan and are still blood relatives.

If Cheng Qing commits a serious crime, the second wife will have a high probability of not being able to escape.

Cheng Qing didn't expect that Cheng Zhixu really had only one requirement.

As expected, the child who could cry had candy, because he was too capable of turmoil, and Mr. Cheng was already afraid of her... This was a good omen. Cheng Qing immediately became more and more arrogant and secretly invited Cheng Zhixu aside.

"Uncle II, I have a question that has been around for a long time. I wonder if I can solve my problem for me?"

"explain."

"After my nephew returned to Nanyi, I heard more than once that my father was rare and famous. He passed the imperial examination at the age of 20. Does the second uncle know why my father didn't continue to take the scientific examination?"

“…”

Even if Cheng Zhixu was killed, he didn't expect that Cheng Qing had to ask about this secretly.

Cheng Zhixu felt that Cheng Qing might have had some misunderstandings. It is okay for the two of them to play the role of a deep love between uncle and nephew in front of outsiders. Cheng Qing didn’t know how much love they had for uncle and nephew?!

Seeing Cheng Zhixu's cold face, Cheng Qing quickly explained: "Second uncle, my nephew is definitely not deliberately bringing up old things and causing trouble, nor is he accusing my grandmother of not sharing the family wealth for my father. My father accepted the conditions for the separation of the family that year. My nephew would not make up old accounts for a little money-smelling thing. My nephew is really confused... People in Nanyi County said that my father left after the separation, and was trapped in a livelihood. He found a small official early to become an official. My nephew didn't believe this statement. My father did not take away the money from the second wife, and he still had the rich dowry of his original wife, so he would not even be able to pay out the money for continuing the imperial examination."

Cheng Qing felt that it was not short of money.

I don’t think Mrs. Zhu is that powerful.

A second wife is awesome enough to let the eldest son leave the house with nothing. She must rely on the help of Master Cheng, who was the patriarch at that time.

But Mrs. Zhu could not share the property with Cheng Zhiyuan, but could not stop Cheng Zhiyuan from going to Beijing to take the exam. Mrs. Zhu couldn't stretch her hand so long.

More than 20 years ago, the Cheng family in Nanyi was not as good as today. They did not become the chief official of the Six Ministers like Mr. Cheng Liu. If Cheng Zhiyuan really wanted to participate in the imperial examination, the clan would suppress him and he could help him in the same year.

So why didn’t Cheng Zhiyuan continue to take the scientific exam?

Cheng Qing felt that solving this mystery could solve why she was poisoned and what the group of He Wangchun and Old Man Li wanted to do.

Cheng Qing and Cheng Zhixu, the plastic uncle and nephew, have never spoken to Cheng Zhixu in such a sincere tone since they first met in Nanyi County.

They have contempt, hostility, and vigilance, but they have no affection for uncle and nephew.
