Chapter 392 No Six Insurances and Two Funds
The room was warm from the heating. After eating a bowl of ice cream, Su Qianqian felt a lot less lonely and wanted to talk about something serious.
"Sister has already stepped down from the Duke's Mansion. Let's wait and see what happens for now. The next time we meet should be during the New Year celebrations. Then we can find an opportunity to remind her to prepare."
Su Qianqian thought that this might be the children's last New Year at the Zhu family, so she didn't want to make Su Xinxin anxious in advance. However, she didn't know that Su Xinxin had slowly accepted it and was trying to find a way to get out of it.
"Duke Xu led his troops out of the capital to Jinning today. The situation in Jinning has become even more confusing... Everything is related to Yunhe Mountain. Perhaps after the New Year, everything will become clear."
After Qin Hanzhang said these words, he put away the book and placed Su Qianqian's embroidery frame in the embroidery basket: "Don't get tired, your eyes hurt."
Su Qianqian didn't say much. She got up to wash up, came back and lay down on the bed. She remembered that she hadn't given Qin Hanzhang the medicine yet, but she was afraid that he would scare her like he did the day before. So she decided to forget it. He didn't mind, so why should she worry about it.
The next morning, Qin Hanzhang was still not there. Su Qianqian had gotten used to it and didn't ask any questions. She got dressed and got on the carriage. Qin Hanzhang was already sitting in it.
"It is indeed tiring to go to court in winter. Fortunately, the government office is closed for the first month of the year. When the government office reopens, you can find an opportunity to withdraw and don't have to run around like this anymore."
Seeing that Su Qianqian was still sleepy and leaning against the car wall, Qin Hanzhang nods his little head and frowns, and moves a little to allow Su Qianqian to lean against him.
Su Qianqian was not polite either. She leaned her head slightly on Qin Hanzhang's shoulder and answered with her eyes closed as the carriage swayed:
"Of course, I don't want to be such a hard-working official. That salary doesn't even cover the six insurances and two funds..."
"What did you say?" Qin Hanzhang asked in confusion.
[Wake up, you are dreaming, and now all your family assets have been exposed! 】The system gives a voice reminder.
Su Qianqian was startled and half awake: [What did I say? 】
[Hurry up and submit your resume! 】The system sneered with disdain.
Su Qianqian was now fully awake. Thinking back carefully, she seemed to be not very satisfied with the salary...
"I mean that salary is not even enough for two pounds of stuffing..." Su Qianqian had to try to make an excuse.
"Why is the meat filling so expensive? You are a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Personnel. Is your salary enough to buy two kilograms of meat filling?" Qin Hanzhang asked knowingly.
"That... Tang Monk's flesh... By the way, my lord, when will the Daliang wedding delegation come to Xijing?" Su Qianqian changed the subject.
"I heard from the letter that she should arrive in Xijing in the first month of the year, and the wedding will be held on the eighth day of the second month." Although Qin Hanzhang didn't know why Su Qianqian cared about this, he still answered patiently. Qin Hanzhang would pay attention to everything related to Daliang.
"The eighth day of the second month, which is after the Lantern Festival, at that time..." At that time, the snow disaster should have occurred.
When the Ministry of Personnel was calling for attendance, Su Qianqian glanced around and did not see Secretary Lu, so she went to the Taihe Hall to attend court.
After eating melons all morning, Qin Hanzhang caught up with her when the court was dismissed: "Taifu Su didn't attend the court today. I heard that he asked for leave."
Su Qianqian turned her head and asked: "Why are you asking for leave? Are you not feeling well?"
Tutor Su was an important official in the court. He would not take leave unless he was ill or had a major event. He was also a workaholic. In the original owner's memory, he did not take leave even when her mother passed away.
Qin Hanzhang shook his head: "I don't know."
Su Qianqian suddenly remembered that today should be the day when Su Miaomiao came back home. Maybe she took leave because of this matter. She couldn't help but snorted coldly: "Master Su really loves his youngest daughter. He actually took leave just for Su Miaomiao's return home. Humph!"
Qin Hanzhang: Impossible, absolutely impossible...
As expected, Su Miaomiao came back to Taifu's Mansion at this time, but both of them looked a little listless, and they no longer had the joy they had when seeing each other before.
Zhang called her daughter to the backyard and asked how Su Miaomiao and her were getting along, and whether Xiao Du had ever acted like a mother-in-law to her.
Su Miaomiao finally found an opportunity to complain, and she cried, "Mom, I married the wrong person!"
Zhang was shocked: "Don't cry, tell me why you said that! If that little Du bullied you, I will ask her for justice!"
"Mom, she...she is secondary. If it's Mincheng... Ugh..., Mom, you see, I can't even say his name. If I say it, I will vomit and make everyone laugh at me. And, and..."
Su Miaomiao sobbed and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"And what? Stop crying and tell me quickly!" Zhang rubbed her hands anxiously.
"And he... he has lost his human nature for some reason. He was fine before, but what should I do in the future?"
Su Miaomiao howled again.
"How could this happen?" Zhang was also surprised. After thinking about it carefully, she said angrily, "It must be that this playboy was sleeping with other prostitutes outside. Now he is too exhausted and has nothing to do. He wants to cheat you! You didn't listen to my advice at that time, and now this retribution has come to you!"
"Mother, what's the point of saying that anymore? You should think of a solution. Am I going to be a widow forever, setting rules in front of my mother-in-law every day, and enduring Qi Wanniang's nasty temper?
She is now the laughing stock among the ladies in the circle. She dares not even leave the house. She takes her anger out on me and instigates her mother to punish me all day long! ”
Su Miaomiao saw everything clearly at this time. She had never thought these were problems before.
"Let me think about it... That old woman has evil intentions and is jealous of her sister's good marriage. Even though Mrs. Du has been very considerate of their family, she still makes up stories. If you can't get pregnant after marriage, it will be a good excuse for you to gossip. She will definitely spread rumors about you."
Zhang was thinking about what little Du would do, her eyes gradually became fierce, "You must strike first and make everyone know that Qi Mincheng is useless. Then you won't be at fault. Then you can find a reason to divorce, and the Qi family won't dare to say anything."
Qi Miaomiao asked quickly: "Mom, how can we let others know about this? After all, this happened in our room..."
"Don't worry about it. You have your mother. Your father is not completely useless. It's his turn to make arrangements now." Zhang patted Su Miaomiao soothingly.
When Su Miaomiao heard about your father, she thought he was referring to Master Su, but the following words made her frown and get angry: "Mom, don't mention that wild man anymore. If anyone knew that my eldest brother was born out of wedlock and I am born out of wedlock, we brothers and sisters would never see anyone again!"
"What are you talking about? The fact that he is your father cannot be changed! If it weren't for your father, we wouldn't have the glorious life we have today. You can't be so conscienceless! When Master Su passes away, our family will still recognize each other!"
Zhang scolded Su Miaomiao, but then she softened her tone, thinking that today was the day she would return home, "If you can't figure it out for the moment, I won't make it difficult for you. Wash your face and put on rouge again, and don't let anyone see that you've been crying."
"Madam, there are guests coming!" The maid who was sent outside reported loudly.
