Chapter 2925 I’m so tired
Song Zhubu sat in front of the bed, soaking his feet without moving. Mrs. Song felt the water temperature and thought it was suitable, so she took his foot out, wiped it dry and put it aside. Just as she was about to wipe the other foot, he lifted his foot and put it back into the wooden basin.
Mrs. Song was unhappy and threw the handkerchief she was using to wipe her feet into his arms. "If you don't want to get up, just keep soaking."
Song Zhubu came back to his senses, felt the water temperature, wiped his feet carelessly, and put them on the bed. He gestured to Mrs. Song to pour out the foot washing water. He asked, "How did I offend you?"
Mrs. Song snorted, took the foot washing water out and splashed it casually, then threw the basin outside with a crackling sound. She returned to the room, pushed Song Zhubu onto the bed, lay down on the outside herself, pulled the quilt lightly, and ignored him.
Song Zhubu ignored her and just sighed softly, looking very sad.
Mrs. Song: "Just say whatever you want to say. You're always sighing and making me irritable."
Song Zhubu, "What's the point of telling you, you don't understand."
"Then stop sighing in front of me. Go sleep in your study if you can."
Song Zhubu was too lazy to move, and he also wanted to talk to someone, but he felt that it was not appropriate to say these words to anyone else, so in the end he spoke to his wife.
Never mind, it doesn’t matter whether she understands it or not. The most important thing is that she doesn’t spread it around.
Song Zhubu didn't care whether she could understand or not, and told her all his entanglements. "...I originally thought he was a young man with no hair and could not be trusted."
"Look at how many county magistrates have come and gone in the past twenty years? Which one of them isn't led by a member of the Song family?" Chief Clerk Song said, "County Magistrate Lu is quite powerful, isn't he? But doesn't he still have to admit defeat in front of my uncle?"
Mrs. Song didn't understand these things, but she remembered what Chief Secretary Song had said very clearly. She asked, "When County Magistrate Lu was still around, didn't you say that Uncle was almost a toothless tiger? County Magistrate Lu only had one move to make him surrender?"
Song Zhubu: "...Don't talk nonsense. When did I ever say that? I was saying that the two of them were evenly matched, and in the end, they both took a step back."
Mrs. Song insisted, "That's what you said more than two years ago."
"Okay, okay, are you still listening?"
Mrs. Song said impatiently, "Go ahead."
Mr. Song was choked by her attitude, but he continued, "Looking at County Magistrate Bai's recent actions, I always feel that my uncle is in trouble. No, it's my Song family that is in trouble."
He wiped his face and sighed, "The county government's account is running low. Expenses have been increasing across the board these past few days because of the kidnapping case. I delivered two official documents to County Magistrate Bai in one day, but he ignored them both. Clearly, he's not worried about running out of money at all."
Mrs. Song was curious, "How could a poor person like you be willing to work for Master Bai?"
Song Zhubu said, "You don't understand. County Magistrate Bai is different from County Magistrate Lu. He has money. I heard the Bai family guards in the county government say that it doesn't matter if the county government has no money. As long as their husband has money, it's fine. When the time comes, we can just borrow some money from the county government."
Song Zhubu was a little sad, "County Magistrate Bai is not short of money."
Mrs. Song didn't believe it. "In this world, there are people who only make money from the public, and there are also people who pay money out of their own pockets to make up for the public?"
"So you don't understand, and I can't explain it to you."
Mrs. Song got angry again when she heard this. She lay back down, pulled the quilt over her and turned her back to him, "Then don't tell me anymore."
Mr. Song didn't stop talking. He became more talkative and said worriedly, "It seems that County Magistrate Bai's temper is even tougher than County Magistrate Lu's. But County Magistrate Lu has no capital, so he has to take a step back in front of the Song family and continue to jointly manage Beihai County with us."
"But County Magistrate Bai has the capital. He has money and people. Beihai County is also poor, and it's not something our Song family can decide alone," he said. "Our biggest bargaining chip is the salt fields. But if County Magistrate Bai doesn't care about the salt fields and can deal with the Governor's Mansion, then the Song family will have nothing to resist County Magistrate Bai."
"Because of the Song family, my relationship with the master is a bit bad. When I came back today, the master invited County Magistrate Fang and County Lieutenant Dong, but not me. You said that County Magistrate Bai has completely fallen out. Do you think the county government still wants me?"
Mrs. Song couldn't lie still any longer, so she got up and said, "You can't be the chief clerk anymore?"
Song Zhubu sighed and said, "It's very likely."
Mrs. Song was furious. She threw off the quilt and got out of bed. She reached out and pulled the person out of the bed. She pulled him out of bed and pushed him outside. "What else can you do every day? You can't even be a chief clerk. How dare you come back and ask me to wash your feet?"
Song Zhubu was kicked out of the main room in his inner clothes.
He rolled his eyes in anger, so he didn't like to tell her the truth. It made him so angry that she didn't even give him an idea, but she actually kicked him out.
At this time, Bai Shan, who had just seen off the last guest, returned to the room and saw Zhou Man lying on the bed with his arms and legs spread out, motionless.
He was also very tired, so he found a place at the end of the bed and sat down in a daze, not wanting to move at all.
Jiulan and Xibing carried hot water into the bathroom and filled the tub. Wuyue found clothes for them. Seeing that one of them was lying in a daze, and the other was sitting in a daze, she asked, "Madam, Master, who will wash up first?"
Manbao didn't even raise his head, but lazily raised his finger to point at Bai Shan. Bai Shan was too lazy to even raise his hand, but raised a finger on his knee to point at Zhou Man.
May:……
She forced a fake smile and asked, "Who is it?"
Manbao, who was lying prone, raised his head and changed the direction of his body, facing Bai Shan. Seeing that Bai Shan did not move, he used his right foot to push him off the bed...
Bai Shan grabbed her ankle and held her still, "You go first."
"I'm not going, you go first."
Bai Shan: "Didn't you say that girls should be given priority?"
"I can give up this right this time, you first."
"I won't!" Bai Shan said, "I don't want to move now, you go!"
Manbao lay on the bed and pretended to be dead, "I won't go either. I'm your senior sister, you have to listen to me."
Bai Shan: "Shouldn't you give in to me, your junior brother?"
Manbao didn't move, "There's no sense of brotherhood between the master and the disciple, I won't let you do that!"
Bai Shan didn't move either. "Then I won't wash it. But don't lie on the bed. Your clothes are still dirty."
Manbao moved around in bed and said, "It's already dirty, so go ahead and wash up. I'll have Wuyue change the sheets and quilt once you come out."
Bai Shan didn't move, nor did he speak. He just held her ankle and stared blankly.
Manbao raised his head and looked at him, then lay down motionless.
May: "...My lady, my lord, the water is getting cold."
Let it be cold.
At this moment, they both responded in their hearts at the same time.
Wu Yue had no choice but to go to the kitchen with Jiu Lan and fetch a bucket of hot water for use.
In the end, Bai Shan compromised and slowly got up to wash up.
Manbao lay on the bed and didn't want to move anymore. He was so tired. He didn't want to go to work. He wanted to rest...
Me: I’m so tired, I don’t want to write anymore, I want to rest
See you tomorrow
