Chapter 243
Fuck the new girl 173
The two arresters didn't take them seriously, but they couldn't let them scream and draw their swords. With just one move, the people in the village outside stopped talking.
Inside the house, Minghua brought Renqing into the main room. Magistrate Lu first greeted him respectfully and said, "I'm going to bow down to the Lord of the County."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be polite, please get up and take a seat." As she spoke, she walked to the high seat and sat down. The main room did not have the splendor of a wealthy family, nor the dignity of a scholarly family; it had simple farmhouse furnishings.
When Magistrate Lu saw this, he remembered it in his heart.
"Thank you so much, County Lord." He stood up and said, "Reporting to the County Lord, the distribution of materials has been completed, and there are still some left. I will order someone to send them back to the County Lord later."
Minghua looked at the two nuns, and Nanny Chen and Nanny Luo nodded slowly; there wasn't much left, and whether to take it back or not depends entirely on the county master's plan.
Minghua said: "There is no need to bring them back, let's cast them out together."
"The county master is kind." Magistrate Lu lowered his eyes and smiled, blurting out the compliments.
"In three days, Magistrate Laolu presided over the situation. If it weren't for you, it might not have been so smooth." Since it was cast, those who didn't get it would have no complaints. People's hearts can never withstand the test.
Magistrate Lu smiled modestly, "I don't want to take it. I don't want to take it. It's the two nuns around the county who can do it. We are just running errands with him. The people around the county are all capable people."
Minghua didn't intend to argue with him. She pointed to the stool next to her and motioned for him and Chief Xiao to sit down.
Patriarch Xiao watched the whole process, and for the first time he realized deeply that there was an extraordinary girl in their clan; as a woman, she surpassed her parents and was awarded a title. In their eyes, she was the official father and mother of heaven.
You have to be careful about flattery in front of you.
"Both of you sit down, don't be formal."
Patriarch Xiao made an invitation to Magistrate Lu, "Your Majesty, please take your seat first."
"Who is this?" Magistrate Lu was puzzled.
There was no greeting after he came in, but he was still entertaining him at this moment.
"This is the patriarch of the Xiao clan and the elder of the county lord."
Magistrate Lu hurriedly responded with a half salute, not looking at the monk's face but at the Buddha's face, "Patriarch Xiao."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. Please take a seat." Chief Xiao happily invited people to take a seat.
This time Magistrate Lu sat down at Minghua's desk, and Patriarch Xiao then sat down at the desk on the other side of Minghua. They all sat down, and Grandma Chen called someone to bring tea, and everyone sitting at the table had a cup.
Minghua picked it up and took a sip, then put it down neither salty nor bland; Magistrate Lu also took a sip. He still had to give him the respect he deserved. It would be rude to put it directly on the table after holding it in his hand.
, in the eyes of Youxin, it is disgusting. And if you take a sip, no matter how much it is, it will give you face.
"The Lord of the County is righteous. The refugees and beggars in Xianyun County are all grateful to you."
Minghua chuckled and didn't answer. When Magistrate Lu saw this, he said, "Congratulations to the county lord and your eldest son for winning the second place among Tan Sheng and Xiucai."
"It's just a fluke that the county magistrate was too complimentary." Minghua raised her eyelids and looked at Aunt Chen, "Brother is at home. If he is at home, please ask him to come out and tell him that the county magistrate is here."
Aunt Chen clearly accepted the order and left.
Grandma Luo was waiting nearby. Seeing that there was nothing to eat on the table, she went to the kitchen and asked someone to prepare cakes and snacks.
When Aunt Luo came back, Aunt Chen followed behind Xiao Hongkang. Aunt Luo nodded slightly as a courtesy, "Young Master."
Xiao Hongkang smiled and bowed in return, then walked into the main room and said, "Clan leader, sister; this student has met the county magistrate."
"Young Master Xiao, there is no need to be polite." Magistrate Lu quickly stood up and avoided it.
Xiao Hongkang stood up and took his seat. Minghua introduced the two of them, "Brother, this is Magistrate Lu of our Xianyun County. He has helped me deal with many things recently."
"Thank you." Xiao Hongkang smiled lightly and bowed.
Magistrate Lu hurriedly returned the gift, "This is what the official should do. The county master is doing good deeds for Xianyun County. As the parent of Xianyun County, the official should fully cooperate."
Minghua nodded, knowing what he was talking about; it was just that he benefited from it. The refugees and beggars in Xianyun County had food and drink for several days, and he also gained a good impression.
"Um."
There was silence for a while, and no one spoke first; Patriarch Xiao did not speak because Minghua did not speak. As a patriarch, he could not hold back and had to be calm. Besides, Xiao Hongkang knew his sister's temperament. Since his sister did not speak, he
Nor will he speak without permission.
It was too quiet, and the sound of each other bringing tea and putting tea cups became the only sound in the main room.
After sitting for a while, Xiao Hongkang wanted to read a book. He didn't say anything. Could it be that he wanted his sister to guess? This person didn't know how to look. He thanked him, and it was time to leave if nothing happened. He wasn't a very familiar person, so he stayed.
Drink tea and play?
Since his sister remained calm, he had to hold his own.
Magistrate Lu was left sitting uneasy. After a moment, he finally spoke with difficulty, "My Lord, I have one more thing to do during my trip. I don't know whether I should say it or not."
"If you don't think you should say it, then don't say it."
The hand holding the tea cup stiffened, "Ahem, I think this is something that should be said. It concerns the people of Xianyun County."
Minghua nodded lightly. It was not that she was taking advantage of Qiao, but that the county magistrate was unkind. When something happened, just say it. Whether it happened or not was a matter of one sentence, and she had no real power. Even if he offended her, the county magistrate would
Nothing will happen for a while. However, he doesn't even have the courage to do this. As an official, mentality is the first factor, followed by ability.
If you have an unstable mentality, everything will be in vain.
No matter how capable you are, if your xinxing is not up to standard, your mentality will be off before you even get the job done, and you will still do nonsense.
"County Lord, I'm brave. After seeing the cement road you brought back, I have been thinking about it a lot. Our Xianyun County is in a remote place, and the road is difficult to walk on. There are so many distances between the county seat and the towns and villages.
There are some far and near, and the nearby villages and towns are fine, but the far ones require mountain roads, which are extremely rugged and have many twists and turns; it is inconvenient to get in and out, and some people only come to the county town once or twice a year."
Minghua nodded in response.
Seeing this, Magistrate Lu breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "If cement roads are paved between the town and the county seat, and between the town and the village, it will be much more convenient for people to go in and out, and people doing business in the town will also be able to go to the county seat.
It will increase. By then, it will be able to improve the conditions of Xianyun County; you are a person who has gone out in Xianyun County, and you should be able to understand the intention of the official."
"I heard what you said in confusion." Even though I understood it, I couldn't explain it clearly.
As expected, officials are not easy, they have quick minds and many calculations.
Magistrate Lu laughed dryly and said with a haha: "Xiaguan has limited connections and no one in the capital can speak to him. Xiaguan implores the county chief to mobilize cement to build roads in Xianyun County. Xiaguan and the people of Xianyun County are very grateful.
All the best, be grateful."
