Chapter 12

Something is also limited.

Thinking of this, Shen Qing couldn't help but sighed, and stopped hiding anything from Li Qiaoer, "The purpose of my coming here this time is to get the evidence from the county magistrate to correct his direct relation Shangfeng, but he himself doesn't Clean, I'm afraid this is the end of my official career."

"This is the problem." Li Qiaoer said without any surprise, "Think about it, the county magistrate is a great official in my eyes, and he must cherish this position very much. If you cooperate, you will end up losing your job?"

Obviously didn't know the specifics of the matter, but she was able to say so much after hearing her few words, Shen Qing couldn't help but secretly admire Li Qiaoer.She is really not like an ordinary country girl, her insight and courage are beyond ordinary people. You must know that Li Xiucai's two sister-in-laws were not sentenced to beheaded, but only to be imprisoned for a few years. Out of courage, Shuangshuang committed suicide in prison.

After such a comparison, Shen Qing felt more and more valuable about Li Qiaoer. She licked her lips, and couldn't help but say a little bit deeper, "Then the magistrate should be careful, although the information Linger has is important this time, But it won’t bring him down, so the county magistrate’s support is crucial.”

I really want to say that this is all your problem and has nothing to do with me. She is just covering for her, living in the county in the name of husband and wife, and still living her own life. In a sense, the two have no intersection. You It's better to worry about your own affairs.But looking at Shen Qing's bitter face, and thinking of her enduring the pain of her wound every day, and pretending to be walking outside like ordinary people, she couldn't bear it.

After all, even if Shen Qing is a stranger to her, Li Qiaoer can't just watch her suffer.

She doesn't understand the detours of county magistrates and magistrates, and she doesn't want to understand those details, but this doesn't stop her from understanding the interests involved.Helping Shen Qing pick up a chopstick dish, Li Qiaoer said lightly: "I don't understand what you said so much, and women are not allowed to speak indiscriminately..." Thinking of the other party's true identity, Li Qiaoer stopped talking again, and continued, "The county What Ling relies on is his superior, just like what you said, the reason why he refused to agree to you is because he wants to continue to be his county magistrate..."

"This is a dead end." Shen Qing ate the food Li Qiaoer helped her pick up, and felt that it tasted very good, so she helped Li Qiaoer pick it up, as a courtesy.

Seeing the leeks on her plate that she disliked the most, Li Qiaoer curled her lips, took a bite of the chives and continued, "It's not a dead end."

"Oh? How do you say it?" Shen Qing suddenly became interested.

Continuing to help Shen Qing pick up leeks, Li Qiaoer also took the opportunity to put her favorite stewed cabbage into her bowl, and then continued: "The county magistrate actually has something to worry about, that is, if someone with a higher status comes , when the magistrate can't protect him, he will definitely seek another way out."

"But I have to hide my identity." Naturally, Shen Qing also thought about this possibility, but she couldn't reveal her identity, otherwise she would definitely startle the snake and make those people take precautions, and she might fall short of success.Because of this incident, she was not only injured, but also promised the emperor that she must handle it beautifully.

Helplessly looking at Shen Qing, Li Qiaoer realized for the first time that this person was not so smart. She happily ate a mouthful of stewed cabbage, and then said: "Who told you to expose your identity? You were not asked to come forward." , don’t you have one or two friends who are equally passable? Take a step back and say, even if you don’t, find a trustworthy friend to pretend to be the head office?”

Sometimes looking at things from another angle, or jumping out of the thing itself, looking at it as a bystander, you can discover problems that you never noticed when you were in the game.Perhaps most people understand this truth, and it is even more obvious to Shen Qing, but she obviously stepped into a misunderstanding this time, and was awakened by Li Qiaoer.

Maybe the two have more secrets in common, or maybe Li Qiaoer feels that since she knows so many secrets, she feels that Shen Qing is not the kind of person who is completely unapproachable, so she puts down a little bit of defense.

When the two of them got along in the past, it seemed that Shen Qing was in a dominant position, but in fact, they were more often viewed from Li Qiaoer's attitude.So when she let go of her guard, when the two get along, the relationship will naturally get closer.Maybe Li Qiaoer didn't care about such a small distance, but Shen Qing noticed it keenly, and she was quite complacent.

Taking out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone she brought, Shen Qing glanced at Li Qiaoer, took a little water, and while grinding the ink, said: "When grinding the ink, the water should be moderate, and the force should be even. It's best to take it easy like this. .”

"Oh." Li Qiaoer looked up, then turned her face to look elsewhere.She has been studying since she was a child, but she doesn't know a big character, and she is not interested in such things as dancing and writing.In the Li family, Li Qiaoer's eldest brother likes to study, the second and third brothers don't like to study, one goes out to learn some martial arts, and doesn't go home for many years, and the other insists on learning to do business, and doesn't go home often, but their Li Dafu and Mrs. Zhang are very reassuring because their personalities are very exciting.

I don't care about the things I'm not interested in, not to mention that now Li Qiaoer doesn't need to put on airs, she can do whatever she wants.

Glancing secretly at Li Qiao'er, she found that she was not interested in him, Shen Qing polished the ink a bit dullly, took out the brush and tried it, and was about to write a letter.Thinking back to when I was in the capital before, which of the maids in the mansion were not dressed up and swanky, and they were vying to serve her, such as grinding ink, it was always a fight. Now, comparing Li Qiaoer's attitude, Shen Qing suddenly felt that Some guilty conscience.

After writing a letter in a hurry, Shen Qing packed up the calligraphy by herself, coughed dryly and said, "I'll go out for a while."

"Well, go early and come back early." Li Qiaoer finally raised her head and glanced at her, and continued under Shen Qing's expectant gaze, "The mushroom fire is good, let's buy some more."

"Okay." The originally depressed mood suddenly changed, Shen Qing even smiled, and left the inn happily.

She didn't quite understand why Shen Qing's attitude changed, but it didn't affect her, so Li Qiaoer didn't care. She waited in the room for a while, when Linger and Lu Fanger came, she asked them to do needlework together.

Li Qiao'er doesn't like sewing very much, but Ling'er and Lu Fang'er are very good at doing it. She herself has a pattern given by Zhang, so she directly takes it out to Ling'er and asks her to sew a pair of shoes for herself.When packing her luggage earlier, Li Qiaoer packed most of her own clothes. Because of her injuries, Shen Qing refused Li Qiaoer's help and packed it by herself.

As a result, the old man packed a lot of clothes, but he forgot all the shoes, only one pair on his feet.No matter how good the shoes are, wearing them all the time is not an option, so Li Qiaoer thought of sewing a pair for her temporarily.

The shoe pattern was secretly modified by Li Qiaoer. It is not the real man's style, but the women's style is slightly enlarged, and some details have been carefully modified.From the outside, it is not obvious that the shoes are modified from women's shoes, but they are definitely more comfortable than ordinary men's shoes.

Although Ling'er and Lu Fang'er were not very old, they were superb at needlework. Li Qiaoer at least mentioned a few words, and the two quickly threaded the needle.

The deeds of prostitution of Lu Fang'er's family are all in Shen Qing's hands, so she naturally wants to please Li Qiaoer. Linger has a special status, but she is grateful to Li Qiaoer from the bottom of her heart, needless to say she works very hard.

When Shen Qing came back, Li Qiaoer had already sent Ling'er and Lu Fanger back, took away the needlework by the way, and sat by the window by herself, looking outside with a calm expression.

"It's just out of the pot." Shen Qing took out the fire and put it on the table, took out one of them and handed it to Li Qiaoer, and said with a smile, "Let's wait a few more days."

It seems that the other party really asked a friend for help, Li Qiaoer nodded without saying a word, took over the fire, and took a bite after blowing it off.

Because the fire was too hot, Li Qiaoer couldn't help blowing, her lips were more red than usual, and her usually white face looked like a rosy apple, which made people want to kiss.Shen Qing looked away uncomfortably, went back to the table and sat down, picked up the burner and gnawed, but because of carelessness, she was burned, couldn't help gasping, and continued to gnaw .

The two of them spent several days in this kind of weird atmosphere. Shen Qing could go out for a stroll. She had an unusual status and was very personable. There were only benefits and no harm in going out, but she just stayed in the room and secretly stared at her from time to time. Look at Li Qiaoer.

When Li Qiaoer wanted to come out to get some air, she immediately followed up, acting like a flower protector.

The county seat is indeed much more prosperous than the town, and Li Qiaoer has never seen some of the looks, and the cloth material is also a bit better, not to mention the dazzling array of food.Knowing that Shen Qing was not short of money, and she also had some broken silver in her purse, but Li Qiaoer just looked at it, kept these things in her heart, and did not buy them.

After going out for a few days in a row, and getting a little understanding of the customs here, Li Qiaoer can roughly understand Shen Qing's troubles.Regardless of the prosperity of the county, most of the money is still concentrated in the hands of wealthy households, unlike the town where she lives, the money is relatively scattered.

This has also caused that the rich in the county are very rich, and the poor are very poor, and some even have to sell their sons and daughters when they cannot live on.
