After being dressed as cannon fodder, the bosses cried and begged for my forgiveness

Chapter 544, Xiaotongfang with the ball 22

Chapter 544, Xiaotongfang with the ball 22

Shuyan Shangshen squatted by the river, slowly lowering the lantern into the river with both hands.

The cool river surface has been filled with lotus lanterns.

As the lotus lantern went away, Zhou Qin silently made a wish in his heart, and then pulled him up.

"Okay, let's go back."

There are more and more people on the street, and he is afraid that the crowd will squeeze her.

But Shuyan Shangshen didn't want to go back so early.

Great atmosphere tonight, supposed to be a little local festival.

Seeing that she didn't go back, Zhou Qin said, "Then go to the restaurant and sit for a while."

This is ok.

"Then my family wants to eat crispy duck."

Zhou Qin smiled and fondled her hair, "Okay, but don't eat too much."

He figured it out, this little Tong Fang's appetite fluctuates.

I can eat a lot when I don’t vomit, but I don’t want to eat a mouthful when I vomit.

This way of eating is naturally bad.

But pregnant women are sick, there is no way to do this.

After arriving at the restaurant, they still went to the private room on the third floor.

Because the fourth, fifth, sixth and third floors are for VIP guests, Zhou Qin usually does not go up to compete with guests for seats.

The scenery on the third floor is also good, and the line of sight is also very wide.

But by coincidence, the young ladies who went to see Zhou's Bie Yuan also came over today.

They came together, and the private room they wanted was next door.

Perhaps it was because the restaurant was very lively at night, and the ladies and young masters next door didn't have much scruples about speaking.

Zhou Qin's private room has undergone special treatment.

Other private rooms couldn't hear their voices here, but they could hear the voices in other private rooms.

Just listen, the young masters and ladies next door were sitting together and talking, "I'm really angry today. Let me tell you, although the young master of the Zhou family is rich, his quality is still much worse than that of our officials."

"That's right. I don't think Mrs. Zhou has any rules. She talks and does things too casually. She doesn't have the manners of a housewife at all."

Shu Yan was taken aback.

I didn't expect the ladies of these petty official families to have such poisonous mouths.

He even dared to talk about his future mother-in-law.

Although Mrs. Zhou is indeed not as rigorous as the big wife of an official's family.

But it wasn't as bad as those petty officials said.

And if they talk about their elders behind their backs, how can their quality be improved?

Shuyan Shangshen looked back at Zhou Qin, and saw Zhou Qin raised his head and sipped his teacup with a sarcastic expression on the verge of smiling.

He knew businessmen were historically looked down upon by officials.

But at the same time, they look down on officials as businessmen.

Didn't those so-called officials who regard gold like dirt rely on their own official authority to collect money in the end?

They merchants are at least talking about business, and they also pay for goods while making money, not for nothing.

But what about those corrupt officials?

It is also disgusting to say that gold is dung, but secretly demand filial piety.

After Zhou Qin drank a cup of tea, he no longer wanted to be in-laws with those officials' ladies.

But he's in a good mood.

Not affected by those people, he still took Shuyan Shangshen to eat the crispy duck before going back.

After the two went back, they slept together in the same bed.

Holding Xiao Tongfang who was still asleep, Zhou Qin felt better again.

In fact, this small room like his house is very good.

She is sometimes quiet, sometimes playful, sometimes naughty, but she never troubles him.

When she is at home, she will spend sweet time with herself.

When he goes out, he also asks someone to deliver letters.

With her here, what kind of wife is needed.

But the matter of fame, he still took it to heart.

-

Another month.

The news finally came from the capital.

Zhou Qin asked people to investigate the matter of Lu'er's mother's uncle's scientific examination, and finally found it.

It turned out that in those few years, Lu'er's uncle was really ranked second.

Although it is not the top pick, but the results are already quite good.

That year, after Lu'er's uncle was placed second in the list, the emperor sent him to a certain place to be a magistrate, starting from the bottom.

So they didn't know about Lu'er's mother's illness in those years, because it was far away from here, so they didn't take it into consideration.

In addition, Li Xiucai gave them the impression of being an honest person, so Lu'er's maternal ancestral family never worried about their daughter's accident.

Until this year, when Uncle Lu'er was in office every three years, he was about to be sent to their side.

Zhou Qin was still a little apprehensive when he got Lu'er's grandparent's family to come here to be an official.

After all, Uncle Lu'er is going to be sent here to be the magistrate now.

The biggest official on their side is also the fifth rank.

But the magistrate is from the fourth grade, and it is the biggest official position here.

The cousin of a fourth-rank official's family was actually taken in by him as a roommate. Zhou Qin felt his butt hurt when he thought about it.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the matter should be resolved properly, so he went to Mrs. Zhou's place overnight.

Mrs. Zhou didn't expect that the grandfather's family of a small Tongfang was actually a fourth-rank official.

Her eyes widened in shock, "Here, you said that Lu'er's uncle is a fourth-rank magistrate?"

Zhou Qin nodded, "Yes, in another month, their whole family will come down, how good is that?"

Mrs. Zhou also panicked.

Most of the officials here are Seventh Grade Sesame officials.

The largest fifth grade was also transferred away years ago.

Now that one of the fourth grades is directly coming down, and they can manage everything here, Mrs. Zhou is naturally flustered.

She quickly suggested, "Otherwise, after Lu'er's uncle comes over, you can take the opportunity to go to his house to discuss it? Can you say that the matchmaker is getting married?"

Although Mrs. Zhou didn't know about Lu'er's relationship with her renter's house.

But seeing how nervous his son was, I guess the prefect must have loved Lu'er.

Although she still felt that Lu'er was not good enough for her son.

But it's not okay to let a cousin of the magistrate's family be the housekeeper.Isn't that slapping the magistrate in the face?

Even being a concubine would make people look bad.

So after all the calculations, I can only formally propose marriage to others.

Zhou Qin also thought so.

The reason why he came here was to let his mother mention it by herself, so as not to make her unhappy in the future and cause discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Zhou didn't know what her son was thinking, she just thought he was really flustered, and comforted him, "It's okay, don't be afraid, Lu'er is pregnant, and she will show it in a few months, no matter how capable the magistrate's family is, they can't." Get rid of the child. Just prepare all the dowry gifts, and when their home arrives, we will propose a marriage."

Zhou Qin laughed in his heart, but nodded his face trustingly like a mother, "I listen to mother."

Mrs. Zhou nodded, "Well, it's late, go to sleep."

Zhou Qin sighed and went back.

Shuyan Shangshen was in the house now, and he didn't expect that Lu'er's natal uncle would actually become a high official.

The system updated the plot and said, "God, in fact, Lu'er's mother's uncle was also a high-ranking official in her previous life."

Back then, Lu'er died early, and when her uncle came back to make decisions for her, she was completely dead.

When her uncle learned that she had been murdered, and that she still had two lives, she ordered Zhou Qin and the murderous maid to be arrested angrily.

In the end, the maid was executed, and Zhou Qin was also imprisoned.

Although Zhou Qin did not participate in this time, Lu'er's uncle was also very angry.

Anyone whose younger sister or niece is murdered will be heartbroken.
