Chapter 43: The Crown Shackles
Qinghu locked himself in the house, fiddling with a table full of paper and pencils, and worked until mid-afternoon.
Qiu Shen came in and reported: "The reed sheng housekeeper heard that the girl is leaving tomorrow, and said that there are still some things about the gourd boat that he wants to ask the girl, do you want to see the girl?" ”
Qinghu walked the dragon snake with the pen in his hand, did not raise his eyes, nodded and said, "Please let him in." ”
As soon as the asparagus butler entered the room, he was stunned by the drawing paper that filled the table and chairs.
What is this quirky little girl pondering?
Qinghu saw the butler of Lusheng come in, put down his pen, poured himself a bowl of tea and handed it to him, and poured himself a bowl to hold.
"How's the gourd boat on the water?" She asked.
The reed sheng housekeeper had a happy flower in his eyes, and he was full of smiles: "As the Qinghu girl expected, it is very popular, and Hulu City has not been so lively for many years." ”
Qinghu nodded: "That's good." ”
"Three or four out of ten people who have played have been very happy, saying that after the turn, the money will come."
Qinghu couldn't help nodding: "Thanks to the reed sheng housekeeper, he is resolute and comprehensive." No one has changed so fast and so good. ”
The reed sheng housekeeper looked at Qinghu who was overjoyed with red light, and couldn't help but ask: "Such a grand event, Qinghu girl, why do you want to give it to the city lord?" ”
Qinghu raised his eyes and stared at the reed sheng butler: "The reed sheng butler is engaged in the city lord's mansion, aren't you happy to see this happen?" ”
The butler of Lusheng smiled slightly: "The Qinghu girl's ability to recognize people and things has been taught in the next, so she has never hidden half a point from the girl." Does the girl feel that she is not sincere enough? ”
"How so?" Qinghu put down the tea bowl and gave a salute to the butler of the reed sheng.
Her eyes were bright, and she said sincerely: "I haven't thanked Mr. Lu Sheng for saving his life."
If you hadn't sent me directly to the old man of the divine doctor, and said a lot about the person who was on the same road with me on the city lord's side, Qinghu would not have survived today. ”
Qinghu continued: "When I first met Mr., I thought it strange that you turned a deaf ear to the young master's life and death. I'm willing to go with you because it's strange.
Later, I figured it out, you are in the City Lord's Mansion, in fact, you are looking forward to seeing him die with your own eyes. ”
Qinghu paused, and his lips opened again: "If you didn't save me at that time, the young master wouldn't be able to live." Mr. Lu Sheng..."
The butler of the reed sheng waved his hand, and a soft light was fainted on his face: "He deserves to die, but you can't bury him." If my daughter was still around, I wouldn't have agreed. He shook his head slightly: "She has a strong temperament, but she is not as clever as you." ”
Qinghu saw the gloom that flashed in the eyes of the reed sheng housekeeper, and knew that it had stirred his sad old story. Lu Sheng is in charge of the family, and his daughter must be in good shape, and it seems that she has been harmed by that unlucky young master.
The reed sheng housekeeper is so attentive to her, probably because he regards her as his daughter. Or, he also hopes that his daughter can live so happily.
Qinghu dragged over two chairs and sat down opposite the butler of the reed sheng.
She looked directly at the butler of the reed sheng: "Sir asked me why I gave the water gourd to the city lord."
Just as the butler of the reed sheng hated the young master, but he still came to the rescue because he took pity on me. Although I want to be the atmosphere of the city lord's mansion, I have no heart.
If I am as strong as a god, I can walk in the sun, and I can take whatever I want.
But Qinghu is just a weak woman, so she can only commit herself to moving and calculating in order to achieve her wish. ”
"Calculation?" The reed sheng housekeeper is a little unable to come back to his senses, now the city lord is in the limelight, all the people are in the heart, and there is still a huge amount of money to be expected in the future, what kind of calculation is this?
"It's the calculation." Xiao Yun smiled slightly and continued:
"Mr. Lu Sheng, if people wallow in the mud, they will only get dirtier and dirtier, and they will become more and more degenerate, and there is no lower limit.
But if he does the opposite, lifts him up to the clouds, worships all the people, and sings praises of virtue, his lower limit will be raised a lot.
How comfortable the cloud is, how limited it is.
I give him a crown, and he has to straighten up and look like a king.
Everyone sang the praises of his benevolence and righteousness, rejoicing with the people, and loving the people like sons. He can only check himself and restrain his words and deeds.
As long as the water gourd boat is in the day, he is bound by the shackles for one day.
This is what I plan for Hulu City. ”
With every word Qinghu said, Butler Lusheng's eyes lit up, and his tightly knit brows and stiff face gradually reddened with excitement.
After Qinghu finished speaking, he sighed deeply, his eyes couldn't hide his excitement, and he grabbed Qinghu's hand and said, "Qinghu girl..."
