Back to ancient times selling biscuits

Zhen Qingming never imagined in his dreams that he would provoke a hungry wolf that had never been opened in two lifetimes.

However, this is something to do later, let's not mention it for the time being.

Saburo waited for him to finish his breakfast, then he wanted to drag him out.

"Why go?" Zhen Qingming glanced at the hands on his arms, "There are still many things waiting for me to deal with in the yamen."

"When you didn't come, there was no chaos in the yamen." San Lang said, "Take a breath, stay in the county yamen every day and don't go out. Be careful not to get sick after a long time."

"I didn't say no." Zhen Qingming didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "But where?" Taoyuan County is a bit older, and there aren't even storytellers, opera singers, or jugglers on the street, so why go out?

Saburo smiled slightly, Master Zhen had a bad premonition.

Seeing Saburo go home with a basket, he asked in horror, "It's not what I thought, right?" He stared at him expectantly.

Saburo chuckled, and the two brothers grabbed his shoulders, "Smart! Let's go." Zhen Qingming didn't move, and Saburo raised his eyebrows, "I really don't want to go? If I don't go, I won't have lunch."

"Despicable." County magistrate Zhen muttered in a low voice, and reluctantly followed him to the vegetable market.

The noisy vegetable market was filled with all kinds of strange smells, and Zhen Qingming's frown could kill mosquitoes, "Sanlang, go in, I'll wait for you here."

joke!Saburo thought to himself, how would he know how tired he is from cooking every day if he doesn't go in.After making up his mind, Saburo pushed him forward, walked from the pork stall to the seafood stall, bought chicken and vegetables, and walked around. Although Zhen Qingming didn't let Zhen Qingming squat down to pick vegetables and pay, he still found it very troublesome.

Walking out of the vegetable market, he said, "Don't threaten me to come here in the future, this is not a man's job!"

"Oh, I'm not a man?" San Lang stared at him and asked.

Zhen Qingming choked, "Yes, no, that's not what I meant. I mean, let Mrs. Sun do the grocery shopping. If she doesn't have time, she can let Donglai Dongbao, no matter who it is!"

"The vegetables they bought were not fresh." Saburo said, "I made trouble today for no reason. You are the county magistrate, how can you let me buy vegetables with you. I was wrong." His face darkened as he said, " If it weren't for the fact that the people who came to buy vegetables were all women and women, I would be embarrassed to be caught in it by a man, and I, I wouldn't bother you." After finishing speaking, he went home without looking back.

Zhen Qingming looked at the thin back, and suddenly felt that he was too much. Sanlang cooked the most meals every day, and he ate the most. Thinking of these, he raised his hand and slapped his forehead, "Sanlang, wait for me, go slowly, listen After I finished speaking, hey, Saburo..."

The corners of Sanlang's mouth curled up, and the corners of his eyes filled with smiles, but his steps became bigger.

The two walked forward one by one and chased after the other. When they arrived at the gate of the county government office, Zhen Qingming was stopped by Wang Xiancheng, "My lord, who is escorting Wang Guangzong and Xiao Han?"

The county magistrate has the power to impose penalties, and those who have been sentenced to death and capital punishment must be sent to the Qingzhou government. After a second verification by the state government, the sentence can only be executed if the situation is true.After all, human life is a major matter, and multi-party verification should minimize the occurrence of unjust, false and wrong cases.

Zhen Qingming glanced at Saburo, then turned to stare at Wang Xiancheng, Wang Xiancheng was stared incomprehensibly, "My lord, what's the matter?"

"I want to ask you something, has your wife ever gone shopping for vegetables?" Zhen Qingming didn't want to talk to him at first, but since this matter involved Saburo, he couldn't calm down.

"Buying vegetables?" Wang Xiancheng felt strange and thought for a while before saying, "In the past, when the life of the Xiaguan's family was not good, my wife bought vegetables. Since the life at home got better, I have a woman who cooks, and my wife's age I’m getting older, so I haven’t gone shopping for groceries.”

"Then do you go with your wife when she's shopping?" Zhen Qingming asked again.

Wang Xiancheng glanced at him secretly, "Sometimes I will go. Madam buys too many things to carry, and I must go." For example, rice noodles or something.

So, is it normal for men to go to the vegetable market?Zhen Qingming nodded thoughtfully.

When it was time to eat lunch, Zhen Qingming squeezed in front of Sanlang, glanced at Grandma Sun who was not far away, and whispered, "I will go to the vegetable market with you every day from now on."

"No need!" Sanlang moved his eyelids and didn't even look at him.

"That's it." Zhen Qingming picked up the dishes he had just served and walked towards the main room.

And Saburo had his own plans, no, until the end of lunch, he didn't say ten words to Zhen Qingming in total.The county magistrate Zhen later realized that his previous attitude had angered Saburo.

Early the next morning, I got up from the bed and began to think about going shopping with Saburo, but the weather was not good. After breakfast, the sky began to drizzle, and it lasted for five days.

When the sun rose again, Zhen Qingming became obedient, went to the vegetable market with Sanlang, and helped him carry half a bag of glutinous rice when he came back. Sanlang followed him with a small basket and returned home easily.

Sanlang walked proudly, with a "plop", Zhen Qingming knelt down in front of him.

The two looked at each other, but they didn't understand which one it was, so San Lang asked, "Little brother, what are you kneeling here for?"

The child is only ten years old, and I heard people say earlier that his scourge cousin was arrested by the officials, and I always thought that the county magistrate was Lord Qingtian.

No, I sneaked out of the house early in the morning and walked for more than an hour before arriving at the county. Because the weather just cleared up today, the child's legs were covered with mud.

After finally running to the county government office, he heard the officials say that the magistrate was not there, and the child was in despair, and sat down at the gate of the county government office, crying bitterly.

Seeing his distress and the child's tattered clothes, the two gatekeepers said, "Don't cry, I'll take you to the adults."

The child was overjoyed, and the official went straight to the vegetable market, saw Sanlang and Zhen Qingming from a distance, raised his hand, and said, "Your Excellency is over there."

Before the other party could continue to speak, the child ran away, but he knelt in front of Zhen Qingming, and it was indeed Saburo who spoke to him. The child couldn't figure out which county magistrate, "I, I'm going to ask Master Qingtian for help, help!"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Qingming looked around reflexively, "Who are you saving? You? Who wants your life?"

The child was confused again, "Are you the old man?" Looking at the bag on his back, it doesn't look like it no matter how you look at it.

He was young and couldn't hide his expression, so Zhen Qingming could see it at a glance, "I am, if you have anything to say, go to the county government."

"No!" The child suddenly hugged his leg, "If it's too late, my sister will die! My lord, please save my sister! Please help me!" He kowtowed to Zhen Qingming as he spoke.

"Give me the rice." Saburo saw that he was so young and so anxious, the child's eyes were full of his sister dying, dying.Don't dare to fight with him again.

"It's okay, I'll carry it." Master Zhen didn't let go, but said, "In this case, child, go to the county government with me to recruit people, otherwise it will be very difficult for me to rescue your sister from the wicked.

The child thought about it carefully, "Yes, sir, go quickly." Then he let go and stood up.

Zhen Qingming asked as he walked, "Which village are you from, kid? What's your name? How did you get all muddy?"

"My lord, my home is in Wangzhuang, and my name is Wang Xiaohu." The child replied.

"Wang Zongguang's village?" Zhen Qingming said, the child's face changed, "... yes." Hesitating seemed to be unspeakable, and it took a long time for the child to say, "He, he is my cousin."

"What?" Master Zhen was drunk, "Then what happened to your sister?"

"My mother said that my sister had a tryst with a man and she was going to put her in a pigsty. My lord, my mother is talking nonsense. My sister is not as shameless as she is!" Shunyan, intending to frame her!"

"Your mother?" Zhen Qingming was a little puzzled.

Saburo said, "Stepmother."

"How do you know?" Zhen Qingming looked at him.

"A tiger's poison does not eat its offspring. If it wasn't for the stepmother, which mother would be willing to immerse her daughter in a pig cage, even if she would be caught in a seclusion with a man, the mother would try to find ways to excuse her."

"My sister is not unclean with men! You are not allowed to talk nonsense!" The child pointed at Sanlang and shouted.

"I know." Saburo looked into his eyes and instantly knew the general process of the incident.But he didn't dare to tell the truth to Zhen Qingming, and deliberately asked the child, "Where is your father?"

"My father, my father died last year." The child said

"Did your stepmother give birth to a younger brother for you?" San Lang continued to ask.

"Yes. No, how do you know? Who are you?"

Zhen Qingming: "If she doesn't have a son, she won't slander your sister, and she will take care of you as her own son, because you will be her reliance when she gets old."

The child seemed to understand, but he didn't understand, and said sullenly, "When my father died, I asked me to take care of her in the future, and I didn't care about my sister's affairs. Why did she pour dirty water on my sister's head?"

"Because if your sister is gone, your stepmother can manipulate you at will." Of course, this is on the premise that the situation is the same as what the child said. Seeing that the child was so emotional, Zhen Qingming didn't dare to say the last sentence.

"That's right. However, your sister is too careless, how could your mother catch her when she meets a man." San Lang said intentionally.

The child was irritated again, "That's not someone else! That's my brother-in-law! The adults said that the woman is bad-hearted, it's not my sister who is restless!"

Saburo revealed this point because he wanted Zhen Qingming to prepare more and not care about the children's yelling.

The two big ones and one small walked to the county government office, Zhen Qingming turned his back to everyone, and smiled flatteringly, "Sanlang, I might not be able to make it back at noon, so I will make zongzi in the afternoon, okay?"

"It's half a month before the Dragon Boat Festival, who said I want to make zongzi?" Sanlang looked up at him.

Master Zhen said hehe, "No one said, no one said, but no one said that rice dumplings must be eaten until the Dragon Boat Festival."

Saburo rolled his eyes helplessly when he saw that he was sticky and didn't save people, and sighed, "The glutinous rice needs to be soaked, and the zongzi needs to be boiled for a long time. I don't have time to make them today."

"Hey..." The county magistrate Zhen, who only knows how to eat but can't cook, blushed, and in order to hide his embarrassment, he said harshly to the yamen servant, "Go find a stable woman, and set off for Wangzhuang in a quarter of an hour."

Wangzhuang is seven or eight miles away from Taoyuan County, the road is covered with mud, and it took an hour for the group to arrive. If it wasn't for the government servants who took turns carrying Wang Xiaohu on their backs, they would have arrived at least three quarters in the afternoon.

Seeing the sun above the treetops, the child jumped up and down, "It's over, it's over, that woman said she would throw my sister into the river at noon, it's over, it's over..." He ran forward unconsciously.

Zhen Qingming took a look, waved for all the officials to follow, and ran to the river to see many people gathered there.Zhen Qingming's heart skipped a beat, "The water will come out!"
