Chapter 146 Konjac’s wedding date is set
"My master, along with several coroners, reorganized and compiled a set of coroner's notes. This note was sent to the capital during the New Year. His Majesty was very pleased after reading it. Before the New Year was over, he ordered the notes to be sent to various places in Dajin.
It's said that thanks to these new coroner's notes, several prefectures have actually solved some long-standing cases. When the news reached His Majesty, he was delighted. "This means our county magistrate will be promoted."
Cui Qingyi was not very surprised to hear the news. After all, as Mr. Nancheng, she had received a letter from Zhou Yanxiu before.
But what she didn't expect was that Zhou Yanxiu actually accomplished this, and promoted it to various places in the Jin Dynasty so quickly, without anyone else taking credit for it.
It seems that Zhou Yanxiu's identity is even more powerful than she imagined.
You have to know that no matter what era, not all people who are truly capable and have ideas can achieve success, and there are many cases of people trying to take credit for others' work.
Just think about it, even the merits gained by soldiers fighting to the death on the battlefield can be impersonated, let alone the officialdom where the waters are deeper and the relationships are more complicated.
But Zhou Yanxiu was just a small county magistrate. Not only did he dare to take the lead in this matter, he also got all the credit. One can imagine how powerful this person is.
At this point, Cui Qingyi was not too worried about Mr. Nancheng's identity being exposed. There was a county magistrate with a strong background in front of him, and he had the merit of rewriting the coroner system of the Jin Dynasty. Who would care about just two storybooks?
But Cui Qingyi thought again, it's time for Mr. Nancheng to launch a new storybook.
Although the new storybook does not completely deviate from the category of public case storybooks, it also has a major stylistic change from Qingtian Ji Xiyuan Ji Lu.
Having said that, Cui Qingyi still has no idea about the new series of storybooks.
She estimated that she could not start writing until the construction of the teahouse was completed and there were no problems.
As for why Zhou Yanxiu stayed in Dongping County despite being promoted, Aunt Qin didn't say anything and Cui Qingyi didn't ask. As long as it didn't interfere with her life, she didn't care at all.
Soon it was spring again. Uncle Fan and Cui Qingyi met and decided to choose an auspicious day to start work outside the city.
As the owner of the teahouse, Cui Qingyi did not appear at the construction site. Konjac only took Wangcai for a stroll and came back to tell Cui Qingyi about the excitement at the scene.
“When people heard that a teahouse was going to be built outside the city, not only the people going in and out of the city, but also the people from the surrounding villages came to watch the fun.
When Uncle Fan threw out the wages, many people came to grab them, and Wangcai even grabbed a candy.
Giving out start-up money at the beginning of a job is a very old custom. It is to ask for a good omen on an auspicious day, hoping that everything will go well after the job starts.
This is similar to the money for raising the beam in the northern region. Cui Qingyi thought that many craftsmen might bring their children to join in the fun at this time. In addition, the construction site is outside the city, which will inevitably attract people passing by.
She then asked Uncle Fan to add some candies in addition to the copper coins, and asked those who came to join in the fun to have some involvement. Unexpectedly, Wangcai also got one.
She reached out and rubbed Wangcai's ears. Because she had caught a cold before, Wangcai had lost a lot of weight. Fortunately, he had slowly gained weight back in recent days and was a plump Wangcai again.
Konjac removed the leash straps from Wangcai, and Wangcai settled down at Cui Qingyi's feet. Ever since Cui Qingyi fell ill, Wangcai had become more gentle with her. Konjac often joked that Wangcai had never been so attentive to his own pups.
Speaking of Wangcai's cubs, Heiya and Shufeng have grown a lot.
When Cui Qingyi fell ill during the New Year, Wangcai left Huaihua Lane for the first time and rushed back before being discovered by Konjac. When he came back, he was holding a big fat rabbit in his mouth.
It brought the rabbit directly to Cui Qingyi's bedroom, and gestured to Cui Qingyi to eat it quickly in the face of Cui Qingyi's disbelief and slightly resistance.
No matter how smart and human-like Wangcai is, he is still a dog after all. Perhaps he felt that Cui Qingyi was sick but there was not even any meat every day, so Wangcai thought that this family was so poor that they could not afford to eat meat.
So it personally went out to hunt a big rabbit for Cui Qingyi, but unexpectedly, Cui Qingyi didn't even get to drink the soup of the rabbit. The rabbit was simply boiled with konjac and half of it was eaten by Heiya, Shufeng and the dog.
I don’t know what happened, but since then Wangcai has disliked Heiya and Shufeng very much. Sometimes he even bares his teeth when he is impatient.
The two little ones are frightened by their old mother's aura and have to walk close to the wall every day, which makes people feel sad.
When Zhou Wu came again, Cui Qingyi asked him to take Shufeng away. Compared with Heiya, Shufeng, who was covered in gray, was even less liked by Wangcai.
The Cui family’s house is not big, and Cui Qingyi didn’t originally want to raise so many dogs. She decided to keep both of them because she considered Wangcai’s feelings as a mother.
And after so long, Cui Qingyi also knew that Zhou Wu really liked Heiya and Shufeng. When Shufeng was taken away, Wangcai simply howled twice as a farewell. Heiya wanted to chase him, but stopped at the gate.
Cui Qingyi was planning to leave Black Tooth to Konjac, and let her take it to the Qiao family across the street as a dowry dog.
Cui Qingyi thought that the Qiao family members were all good, but no matter how good they were, after all, there was only one outsider in that family, Konjac.
In case there is a conflict between Qiao Yishi and Konjac, Qiao Yishi is a little worried that Heiya, as a dowry dog, can still be on the same side with Konjac.
Perhaps it is in his nature to choose his own master. Although Shufeng was reluctant to leave when Zhou Wu held him in his arms, Cui Qingyi knew that he was satisfied with his new master Zhou Wu by looking at the frequency of his tail wagging.
At least her quality of life would not decline if she followed Zhou Wu. Of course, it might even be better than staying in the Cui family, so Cui Qingyi would not worry at all.
Half a month after the construction of the teahouse began, the matchmaker hired by the Qiao family chose an auspicious day to visit.
On the day the matchmaker came, a magpie landed on the roof of Cui's house and chirped, and the peony that had been grown in the yard for more than a year bloomed its first pink flower.
Cui Qingyi felt that these were all good signs, and that God was also saying that the in-laws she had chosen for Konjac were good.
Therefore, after the matchmaker and the Qiao family arrived, Cui Qingyi did not say much. She pushed the lovers aside and discussed the specific date and process of their marriage with the matchmaker and Qiao's mother.
This was the first time in Cui Qingyi's two lifetimes that she had organized such an event, but she already knew a lot about the local customs for newlyweds to get married.
Now he can speak very clearly, and since the Qiao family values konjac, they dare not neglect Cui Qingyi, a member of their family. As long as Cui Qingyi asks, they will agree.
After some discussion, Konjac and Qiao Yishi's wedding was scheduled for early September.
