Chapter 41 Good Officials and Corrupt Officials

"Miss." She shouted, and Ziyi broke away from Xingchen's hand and threw herself into Mo Zhu's arms. Aunt Mozhu. Ziyi's voice was soft, and Mo Zhu smiled apologetically with Xingchen. Xingchen didn't feel anything, but the palm of his hand was released, which made him a little disappointed.

"Aunt Mozhu, are you tired?" Ziyi wiped the sweat on Mo Zhu's forehead with a handkerchief and asked with concern, but Mo Zhu shook his head, hugged Ziyi, and said softly, "Miss, Mo Zhu is not tired. Let's continue to go. I'm afraid you have to wait at home."

Mo Zhu said so, Ziyi answered loudly and was about to walk forward, but suddenly she shouted again, "No."

Mo Zhu and Xing Chen looked back nervously, looked at her and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Ziyi touched her head with regret and said in frustration, "I forgot the bamboo basket we put by the river and the fishing tools." As Ziyi said this, Mo Zhu also thought of it, with a little chagrin on his face.

And Xingchen touched his chin and thought for a while and said, "Well, I'll call my men to go to the river and bring your things back. What do you think?"

Xingchen's proposal made Ziyi's eyes light up, while Mo Zhu was a little worried, "Isn't this too troublesome?"

"There's no trouble." Xingchen smiled brightly, "Anyway, my group of people usually have nothing to do. Now letting them do good deeds is also a little credit for them. I think they are very happy."

With this, Xingchen returned to his county government, explained the matter, and then asked where Ziyi lived now, so he continued to walk with Ziyi and the others.

Along the way, Ziyi and Xingchen chatted very happily. Xingchen was not from this town, so he felt very novel about many things, and Ziyi rarely came out once, so he simply accompanied him to watch it.

Fortunately, Mo Zhu still remembered that Qingya was waiting in the house, so he urged him many times, so he did not let the two big children wander on the street, but returned directly to Ziyi's home.

After arriving home, Ziyi asked Xingchen to follow her into the room, and Mo Zhu quickly went to the inner room to explain the situation to Qingya. Although Qingya is surprised, she is not those who don't know how to change.

So she also came to the hall accompanied by Mo Zhu.

In the hall, Xingchen was sitting in danger. Seeing Qingya and Mo Zhu coming, he immediately stood up and bowed to the end, "Xiaosheng Xingchen, see your wife." Xingchen said so, and Qingya had already known from Mo Zhu that this person was the county magistrate of Qingshi Town, and did not dare to neglect him. She quickly replied, "The county magistrate is courteous. The little woman is the wife of Zi Wenkong. I don't know what happened to the county magistrate here?"

The elegant voice was crisp, which made Xingchen suddenly feel good. After holding up Qingya, he said, "Xiaosheng and Miss Gui died at first sight. Today, I heard that Miss Gui had the desire to study, so Xiaosheng took the liberty to visit and wanted to plead his wife to allow Miss Gui to go to school. Xiaosheng guaranteed that he could persuade the people in the school to let Miss Gui. I don't know what your wife would like to go to school as soon as possible?

Xingchen asked, and Qingya looked at Ziyi. At this time, Ziyi had brought a few cups of tea and came in. Mo Zhu hurried over and wanted to take the tea in Ziyi's hand, but Ziyi refused.

After she brought the tea to Xingchen and her mother in person, she said, "Zi, thank you, Uncle Xingchen, for your help to Ziyi and Aunt Mozhu today. Ziyi is here." Ziyi said so and brought the tea on the star table to Xingchen.

Xingchen's mouth was smiling. He solemnly took the tea, took a sip of it, put the tea on the table, and then said to Qingya on the main seat: "Madam, it's not Xiaosheng's nonsense. Miss Gui is definitely the smartest child Xiaosheng has ever seen. Xiaosheng believes that if his wife can allow Miss Gui to go to school, today I will definitely become a talent later."

Xing Chen said this, but Qingya still didn't say anything, but turned her eyes to Ziyi.

Ziyi picked up another cup of tea and respectfully handed it to Qingya. Seeing that she looked at herself, Ziyi said seriously, "Mother, admission is Ziyi's wish, and it is also Ziyi's intention all the time. Although Ziyi did not talk to her mother before, Ziyi is serious, so she also invites her to complete it."

Zi said this, and her hand holding the teacup did not shake at all.

Qingya looked at her quietly for a long time. When Ziyi was a little unsteady, she took the teacup and put it in the palm of her hand, but did not drink it. Ziyi looked up anxiously, but Qingya asked, "Ziyi, do you know how hard it is to study?"

"Ziyi understands." Ziyi said respectfully.

"How do you understand?" Qingya asked again. Ziyi raised her head, took a look at Qingya, and then said, "Ziyi knows that learning is boundless. Ziyi is not a temporary impulse to go to school, and Ziyi will not stop because of any difficulties."

Zi said this, and Qingya was slightly moved, "Is this your desire to study?" Qingya asked, and Ziyi said firmly yes.

"What about after you finish learning?"

"When Ziyi learns, Ziyi will definitely be a good official." Ziyi said, and the soft voice floated in the room.

But the elegant corners of his mouth showed a smile, "What is a good official? What is a corrupt official?"

"Good officials are officials who are dedicated to the people and are not afraid of power. Corrupt officials are those who search for the fat of the people. They are corrupt officials." Ziyi said so, but Qingya shook her head, "No, you're wrong."

Ziyi was shocked, "What's wrong?"

Qingya looked up and pointed to the sun in the sky and said, "People say that the sun is good, but if it stays in the air every day, so that people have no water to drink and animals have no water, is it still good?"

The elegant question made Ziyi frown slightly, and Xingchen looked at the mother and son, and the expression on his face became more and more serious. He knew that the wife of this family was not simple. If she went to the official career, she was probably no worse than anyone else, but he didn't know why she was willing to stay in such a small place. Teach your husband and children for a lifetime?

Xingchen is slightly sorry for Qingya, but he is most concerned about Ziyi, this little girl.

And Ziyi really lived up to her expectations and said, "Of course, it's not good for the sun to stay in the air for a long time, which makes everything wither, but if we make proper use of the heat it produces, it will turn bad things into good things." As Ziyi said this, Qingya nodded happily and then said, "So what do you think is a good official now? What is another corrupt official?"
