Recap "The Lady in Butcher’s House" Episode 5

Hu Jiao and Xu Qingjia drank Hexu wine and bit each other's red dates hanging from red ropes. How could they suddenly withdraw their hands, causing the two to kiss each other mouth to mouth. The men in black left while the chaos, and Hu Jiao was furious and drove them all away on the spot.

On the night of the bridal chamber that night, Xu Qingjia wanted to make some noise in the room in order to avoid the suspicion of others, but Hu Jiao slapped him directly and asked him how he knew how to make a noise before he got married. Xu Qingjia knew she couldn't explain clearly, so she simply went to the closet to get the quilt and lay the floor.

When she woke up in the morning, Hu Jiao hadn't fully adapted to her identity, but Xu Qingjia suggested to call each other's wife and husband. At first it was difficult for Hu Jiao to speak, but after Xu Qingjia's enlightenment, she bite the bullet and called him a husband, and they will get along as husband and wife for the next three years.

After three days of staying home, it was time to set off for Shangyong. Hu Tingzhi was really faced with such a sad parting scene, so he simply locked himself in the room. Hu Houfu couldn't persuade his father, so he had to take Wei Shi to see his sister off, and by the way gave her a finely crafted knife.

In order to reassure her brother and sister-in-law, Hu Jiao deliberately played a knife in front of Xu Qingjia, quietly asking him to scold her. After Xu Qingjia received Hu Jiao's suggestion, she did it honestly, and sure enough, her voice made Hu Jiao become gentle and submissive, causing Hu Houfu and Wei Shi to break their glasses.

Lin Cui rushed to Hu Jiao's departure and brought a fruit basket to send her in time. Thinking of the River God Festival in a few days, she hoped that she would stay and leave the river lanterns before leaving. Hu Houfu was also reluctant to part, the man with the big shoulders was crying, Hu Jiao comforted everyone, and finally followed Xu Qingjia to the carriage.

After walking around for about half a month, she finally arrived in Shangyong. Just when Hu Jiao was going to the river to clean up, she accidentally found an old gentleman standing alone by the river, suspected of committing suicide by throwing himself into the river. Hu Jiao and Xu Qingjia rescued each other very tacitly, and only after inquiring did they find out that the old gentleman was Chi Wenjun, the prefect of Shangyong County.

Because Xu Qingjia rejected the prime minister's daughter and returned to his hometown to marry the butcher's daughter, the story spread all over the streets, so Chi Wenjun recognized Xu Qingjia at a glance, and then slowly explained the process of his wrongful imprisonment and escape. Chi Wenjun felt that Xu Qingjia, who was a dignified new student, was able to arrange for such a small border county, which was enough to show that he had no backers behind him, and advised him to let it be honestly and not to offend the gang of people in the county government rashly.

Hu Jiao was very disdainful after hearing this, thinking that he was an incompetent and corrupt person. Because Chi Wenjun escaped from prison many times, Gao Zheng gradually lost his patience and wanted to kill him, but when he saw Xu Qingjia come to intercede, he took back the knife for the first time and left with Chi Wenjun. Hu Jiao saw that Gao was a ruthless man, and was also surprised that he had just looked at Xu Qingjia. If it was a woman, she would definitely like Xu Qingjia.

The next day, Xu Qingjia and Hu Jiao came to Shangyong County. The mug Chen Tinghui had been waiting at the gate of the county government for a long time. The county magistrate, the chief clerk, and the secretary were about to hold a meeting and invited him to attend. Xu Qingjia's official position this time is the eighth-rank county magistrate, with the county magistrate still on his head, and this is the first time he has been an official, so he must be cautious, so he handed over Hu Jiao to Yaren and followed Chen Tinghui. main hall.

Yaren arranged for Lamei to serve Hu Jiao, and then took her to see the house nearby. At first, there was a compound with three entrances and three exits. How could the head of the household, Old Wu Tou, hear Xu Qingjia's name, and his face instantly changed, scolding. With a bang, he turned around and left. Hu Jiao thought it was very strange, but Naihe Yaren just found a reason to put it off.

On the other hand, a few people were drinking tea in the wing room and deliberately neglected Xu Qingjia in order to beat him up. Gao listened to their conspiracy expressionlessly. Seeing that the incense had been burned out, he went out to the main hall first, and happened to see Xu Qingjia looking through the historical accounts, expenditures and records. Master Yang, Song Yasi and others were afraid that Xu Qingjia would find any clues, but Gao Zheng did not join in and let Xu Qingjia look at it at will.

Sure enough, Xu Qingjia found out that there was a drought in Shangyong County last year. According to common sense, taxes should be reduced or exempted. How could he know that the winter clothing tax was increased three months ago, which made him quite puzzled. Xu Qingjia hoped to get rid of the cold clothing tax, which caused dissatisfaction with Yang Zhuzhu and others. At the same time, the magistrate of Zhu did not appear for a long time, but he sat calmly in the study to carve ingots.
