MTL - I Became the Prime Minister’s Adored Wife after Transmigrating-Chapter 276 It's too cold at the top
Chapter 276 Overwhelmed by the Cold
"Deliberately? Why do you say that?"
Shen Yao chuckled lightly, "I met Mr. Ji a few times before, his speech and behavior are extremely elegant, and he doesn't look like someone who has been immersed in officialdom for many years; if my guess is right, we will definitely Mr. Ji from Yuan County probably has an extraordinary background. The reason why he came to Dingyuan County to be a county magistrate may have hidden secrets."
"Furthermore, Master Ji has done two major things since he came to Dingyuan County; one is to reduce and exempt taxes, both merchants and ordinary people who run shops in the county are very grateful; the other is to eradicate the willow lanes like fireworks. What he did must have touched the unspeakable interests of certain powers."
"So, the master behind Fengyue Tower wants to declare war with Mr. Ji?" Ji Zhao asked curiously after understanding what Shen Yao said.
"In addition to Mr. Ji, there is also Qin Shaodong's family." Shen Yao's slender fingertips landed on the table and made a very rhythmic sound, "If Fengyuelou insists on opening opposite Hongxing Restaurant, then the restaurant's Business is bound to be affected."
Hongxing Restaurant only has delicious food and wine; but Fengyuelou also has beauties besides these two.
"That's right," You Er nodded slowly, "I'm also aware of this, so I've already sent a letter to the Young Master, hoping that the Young Master can find a solution."
"Well," Shen Yao looked at him, his words were full of relief, "Your Brother You don't have to worry too much, after all, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge."
"I understand." You Er smiled immediately, "Don't mention these disappointing things, but A Tao, when do you plan to reopen the Spring Breeze Restaurant? During the days when you closed, there were many customers Come and inquire!"
After all, the crock pot soup and claypot rice launched by A Tao are too delicious.
Ji Zhao, who was in a daze, suddenly snapped his fingers!
Both Shen Yao and You Er looked at her at the same time, "What's wrong?"
"Shen Yao, I suddenly have an idea." Ji Zhao suddenly smiled, "But you have to accompany me to the county government, I want to meet Master Ji!"
"Now?" Shen Yao was a little puzzled.
"That's right, it's now! We must make a quick decision!" Ji Zhao said with firm eyes, then grabbed Shen Yao's arm, and at the moment when he was about to run out, he didn't forget to look back at Shopkeeper You Er, "Brother You, don't worry, Fengyue Tower will not be successfully opened opposite the restaurant!"
"A Tao, why are you so sure?"
You Er hurriedly asked, but Ji Zhao's back has disappeared in a flash~
Dingyuan County Government.
Ji Tingan was dealing with official business, and was a little surprised to hear the news that Shen Yao and his wife asked for a meeting.
The last time Shen Yao saved his grandfather, he was very grateful, that's why he insisted on taking Shen Yao to Fucheng to collect the twelve taels of reward, but the more times he talked with Shen Yao, the more Ji Tingan felt that this person was very eloquent.
He has also read Shen Yao's case files. He has been intelligent since he was a child. He can speak at the age of three, speak well at the age of five, and compose poems at the age of seven. More importantly, his essays are unique. Refreshing.
But such an excellent person failed the ranking four years ago.
The imperial court spends a lot of money on the project of selecting talents every year, but every year, corrupt officials emerge in endlessly, and no amount of investigation can be exhausted.
"Invite people to the side hall." Ji Tingan rubbed his sore brows, withdrew some chaotic thoughts, and said softly, "Have someone prepare tea and pastries."
"Yes." The boy retreated obediently.
A quarter of an hour later, Ji Zhao and Shen Yao were taken to the side hall in the backyard of the county government office.
Looking at the plaque hanging above the high hall, Ji Zhao thought deeply.
"The bright mirror hangs high." Shen Yao squeezed her palm, and asked with a soft smile, "A Tao, why do you keep staring at that plaque?"
"I was just thinking, if all the officials are good officials with a clean sleeve, will the common people be able to live and work in peace and contentment? Haiyan Heqing, the world is peaceful, what will it look like?" Ji Zhao looked back at Shen Yao, Smile lightly.
"well said!"
Ji Tingan, who happened to walk in, just heard these words, and he couldn't help clapping his hands and praised, "Hai Yan He Qing, the world is peaceful! That must be a beautiful picture!"
"See Mr. Ji." Shen Yao calmly pushed Ji Zhaohu behind him, and saluted respectfully.
Ji Ting'an couldn't help laughing out loud, "Shen Yao, Shen Yao, you don't have to be on guard! I'm not a person who makes me faint, not to mention that I just think that the eight words your wife said are excellent, and I don't care about them. No other intentions."
"I hope my lord will forgive me," Shen Yao was not as nervous as before when he saw that he was speaking so frankly.
Ji Tingan smiled, and then asked curiously, "But why did you come to see me?"
"The thing is, my wife and I have decided to get married on the 16th of next month."
"Aren't you already husband and wife?" Ji Tingan was very puzzled, "What's going on?"
After a quarter of an hour, Ji Tingan finally understood the ins and outs of the whole incident.
"I didn't expect the relationship between the two of you to be so tortuous?" Ji Tingan couldn't help joking.
"Yes, so the student brought his wife here today for two reasons. One is that the student wants to invite the adults to have a wedding at home on the 16th of next month; the other is about the household registration."
"It's easy to say!" Ji Tingan smiled and nodded, "Don't worry!"
"By the way, there is one more thing my wife wants to tell my lord." Only then did Shen Yao let go of the hand holding Ji Zhao, and smiled at her, his eyes full of encouragement.
"Master Ji, I dare to ask you a question." Ji Zhao raised his eyes slowly, and met Ji Ting'an's scrutinizing gaze, "I heard that Fengyue Tower is about to open in our Dingyuan County. What do you think?"
Ji Tingan was stunned.
"Since I came to Dingyuan County, I have learned about the people here. Compared with taverns and inns, there are too many Qinlou and Chu restaurants in Dingyuan County, so the first thing I do when I take office is to Starting from here, three brothels were investigated and dealt with one after another."
"These fireworks and willow alleys are not only dirty, but also have some forces behind them. I came here this time to thoroughly investigate these! As for the Fengyue Tower you just mentioned, it is impossible for me to let this plaque Appeared in Dingyuan County!"
"But the power behind Fengyue Tower is the Sun family!" Ji Zhao said calmly, "There is a saying in the market, as long as your surname is Sun, you can walk sideways! After all, the Sun family is full of holy family members!"
Concubine Sun Gui is extremely loved by the emperor, Elder Sun Ge is even more powerful and has many disciples!
The people behind Fengyuelou are none other than the Sun family!
"But this officer has also heard a saying," Ji Tingan lowered his eyelids lightly, covering the emotion in his eyes, "It's too cold to be high."
