There is a large central dock in Henghe, where many merchants come and go, and the folk customs are also very open. Most of the people walking on the street are dressed brightly and gorgeously.
"After all, this is a big county town. The way the people in this city dress is different from that in the small village of Yangmei Village. They are so beautiful and rich." Tian Minqing put down the car curtain, his eyes full of envy and jealousy.
"No, you can see that there was a lady just now. Tsk tsk, the gold hairpin on her head must be five or two weights." Mrs. Li also sighed.
"This Yokogawa has come to the right place." Tian Minqing's eyes widened, imagining herself wearing silk and satin, with a gold hairpin plug, and she looked excited.
"Mom, I'm hungry." Gou Sheng said with a pout.
"You foodie, wait a little longer. When you get to the government office, ask your aunt to prepare a good table for us to wash the dust with." Mrs. Li poked his forehead with her finger and said with a smile.
"Mom, is there any meat? I want to eat fat pork belly." Gou Sheng licked his lips, thought for a while and then said: "I also want to eat pork knuckles, just like the kind that Brother Wu and the others ate two days ago."
"Look at your excellence, pork belly is nothing. When we get here, we have fallen into the golden nest. What do we need?" Tian Minqing snorted disdainfully: "Don't worry about Tian Minyan and his family's things from now on. They are all
How can a bunch of country bumpkins know what good things are?"
Tian Minqing feels angry whenever she thinks of Tian Minyan's high-spirited face. Humph, how does she know what life is?
While they were talking, several people had arrived at the county government office, got off the carriage, and looked at the vermilion door in front of them and the two stone lions in front of the door. They were all amazed.
"so big."
"So majestic."
"The door is so high."
"Sanlang, go and report quickly and ask your aunt to send someone to pick her up." Mrs. Li pushed Tian Mingui.
Tian Mingui shrank forward and knocked on the door. A yamen guard opened the door from inside, glanced at Tian Mingui, and said indifferently: "Complain to the big drum at the door."
Tian Mingui followed his finger and saw a big drum on a big stand next to the door. A wooden stick hung from the side of the drum. He was startled and stammered: "Brother Chacha, I'm not here to complain.
, I’m looking for someone.”
"Go, go, this is the yamen, who are you looking for?" The yamen guard saw that he was wearing coarse cloth clothes with patches, and he was impatient and pushed him away.
"No, brother, I'm looking for my uncle. He is the official here and he lives here." Tian Mingui was so anxious by him that he stopped stammering and hurriedly spoke clearly.
"Master Guan?" The yamen guard looked at him up and down and asked doubtfully, "Who is it?"
"My uncle's name is Tian Huaide, and I am his nephew."
"Tian Huaide." The yamen guard muttered, suddenly startled, and looked at him again. He was not sure, so he said: "The county magistrate's home is at the back. Even if you want to find someone, you have to go to the west corner gate of the back alley to call."
People." He said and pointed in the direction.
Tian Mingui thanked her quickly and returned to Mrs. Li to talk. The group of people walked in the direction pointed by the Yamen Guard.
When I came to the west corner door, I knocked on the door and found a woman with her hair in a bun. She looked at the group of people and asked in a rough voice: "Who are you looking for?"
"We are the family members of the county magistrate. I am his brother and sister. These are your nieces and nephews. Go and let someone know and have someone pick you up." Mrs. Li puffed up her chest and stepped forward arrogantly.
When the woman saw that they were all dressed in coarse cloth and their attitudes were so arrogant, she couldn't help but snorted disdainfully and said: "What family members? The county magistrate's family members have already arrived. I haven't heard of any other family members. Where are you?"
The crazy old lady is here to catch the autumn wind. Come on, hurry up." Mrs. Li was stunned, thinking that if she revealed her identity, the old lady would be fawning with a smile on her face, but she didn't expect it to be like this. Her face suddenly became hot, and she felt a little unable to get off the stage. She placed her hands on her hips.
He said: "Hey, you must have grown up too much. I am the younger brother and sister of the county magistrate. Hurry up and report to me. If you are careful, I will ask you to dismiss me."
"My lord, you can see me as soon as you say. Bring me the post and I will inform you." The gatekeeper said with a sneer.
"Post, what post?" Li was stunned, a little confused.
The gatekeeper laughed even more when she saw him. He was indeed a country bumpkin, and the look of disdain in her eyes became even more obvious.
Tian Minqing saw this and was very displeased, but he also knew that the people in the city were somewhat arrogant, so he stepped forward and said: "Madam, please excuse me and inform us. Just tell the county magistrate's wife."
Then you know we are not lying."
As he said that, he stuffed a few more coins into his sleeves.
The gatekeeper weighed it, but she didn't take it seriously. She only had a few dollars to send away beggars!
"It's not that I'm inconvenient for you, it's just..." She weighed a few coins in her hand.
Tian Minqing cursed in his heart, took out a few more coins and stuffed them into her hand, and said with a smile: "Sorry for bothering you, ma'am."
The gatekeeper woman looked at the copper plate in her hand, pursed her thick lips, obviously feeling that it was not enough, and was about to speak, but her sharp eyes saw a carriage approaching.
She ouched, quickly pushed away a few people and came forward, smiling so hard that she couldn't see her teeth and hunched her waist, with a dog-legged look on her face. She was completely different from the two people she faced just now when she faced Tian Minqing.
Li and the others looked over and saw the carriage stop. First a maid jumped out, put down her pedals, then turned around and helped a woman get out of the car, followed closely by a young lady.
The woman wore a peach red jacket, a purple satin skirt, a golden belt around her waist, her hair was pulled high, she had two red gold hairpins, and she had two ruby earrings in her ears. She looked very wealthy.
Look at the girl who is about sixteen or seventeen years old following the woman. She is wearing a rose-red skirt and jacket. Her hair in the front is braided into a bun, and the hair in the back is naturally let down. She has a jasper hairpin and pearl hair accessories, which makes her look very elegant.
It is generous and dignified without losing the girlish sweetness.
When Tian Minqing saw the girl, his face suddenly changed, and the expression in his eyes was unpredictable, with envy and jealousy at the same time. After a while, Tian Minzhuang seemed to be a different person, and she really looked a bit like an official lady.
posture.
Yes, the women who came down were none other than Chen and Tian Minzhuang, followed by Tian Minting, also dressed in silk and satin, very pretty.
"Ah, sister-in-law, it's sister-in-law who's back." Mrs. Li also recognized her, dropped the baggage in her hand and rushed towards her.
Mrs. Chen was turning around to say something to Tian Minzhuang when she suddenly heard this familiar yet annoying voice. She stiffened and turned around. Ms. Li had already walked up to her. Her expression suddenly changed, as if she had seen a ghost.
:"you you..."
"Second Aunt, why are you here?" Tian Minzhuang also recognized Li and the others at this time and couldn't help but scream.
"Sister-in-law, niece, the children miss their father, so I brought them here." Mrs. Li chuckled, looked her over again and said, "I also miss my sister-in-law."
The corners of Chen's eyes twitched a few times, and her temples beat rapidly. She had a strong ominous feeling that Ansheng's life was over.
