When the official saw Zhao Qingzao, he knew that this was Master Shen's wife, and when he heard her question, the official hurriedly saluted her and replied respectfully: "Presumably you are the wife of Master Shen." ”

Zhao Qingzao nodded lightly: "I don't know what the little brother of the government servant is here for?"

The official straightened up with a smile: "The little one came to pass the word for the county commander." ”

Zhao Qingzao hurriedly let people in: "Then the little brother come in quickly, I'll call my father-in-law, you sit here and rest first." ”

After hearing this, the official saluted again and again, and said that he didn't dare: "Madame, don't worry, when the little one came, the county magistrate said it, and this matter is the same as what you said." ”

Only then did Zhao Qingzao stop his hurried footsteps, turned around and looked at the official with a smile: "Can I tell me?"

The official smiled and bowed: "That's right, the county commander sent the little one here just to invite you and Chu Xingshan to go to the yamen." ”

Zhao Qingzao nodded clearly: "It turns out that this is the case, then little brother, you can sit down for a while! ”

The official smiled and waved his hand: "The small words are just passed on, and there are still some things to do, so I won't talk about Mrs. Rao, you just need to remember that the county magistrate is waiting for you in the county office." ”

Zhao Qingzao smiled and nodded: "Remember, since the little brother is still busy, then I won't do much to keep it." ”

The official bent down again and bowed his hand: "The little one will retreat first." ”

Zhao Qingzao smiled and sent people away, then closed the door, walked to the door of the study, and stretched out his hand to knock on the door: "Xianggong, the county commander wants me to go to the yamen with Xingshan." ”

As soon as the words fell, the door of the study was opened from the inside, and Shen Changting still looked flat: "It's time for me to go to work too, I'll go with you." ”

Zhao Qingzao nodded lightly: "It's okay, then I'll go change my clothes first." Then he turned around and went back to the bedroom to change clothes, while Shen Changting returned to the study, cleaned up the desk, and hid the painting he had just drawn.

At this time, Zhao Qingzao also changed his clothes. Standing in the courtyard and shouting: "Xianggong, come out quickly, we still have to go to Grandma Niu's house to call the mountain!"

Shen Changting answered, and then walked out of the study, the two of them locked the door, and then walked in the direction of Grandma Niu's house.

When I arrived at Grandma Niu's house, I saw Chu Xingshan helping Grandma Niu dry things, Zhao Qingzao shouted with a smile: "Grandma, are you busy?"

Grandma Niu heard her voice and hurriedly turned around: "Qingzao, why are you here? Hey, Changting, why haven't you gone to work in the yamen yet?"

Shen Changting smiled and walked over to support Grandma Niu: "I'll go now." ”

Grandma Niu looked at him suspiciously: "Then who are you here?"

"We're here to find a hiker, we're going to let him go to the yamen together, the county magistrate wants to see him!" Zhao Qingzao walked to the other side of Grandma Niu with a smile to support her, and said with a smile.

When Chu Xingshan on the side heard this, he walked over in surprise: "What? Now I'm going to see the county magistrate......?" I'm not ready for that, can I?"

Grandma Niu also looked at Zhao Qingzao worriedly: "Yes, Qingzao, didn't you just tell the mountain the news? Why is this county magistrate in such a hurry to see Xingshan! He is not ready! If he is blamed by the county magistrate, what should he do?"

Zhao Qingzao first smiled comfortingly at Chu Xingshan, and then turned his head to look at Grandma Niu to comfort: "Grandma, no, the county magistrate is very good, besides, isn't there still me and Changting? ”

"yes, you don't have to worry. Shen Changting also continued, "We also just received the news that the county magistrate is going to see the mountain now, and ah!

Grandma Niu was even more surprised at this time: "Why do you see green dates?"

"The county magistrate wants me to go to the county government to be a cook, so the county magistrate wants to meet her today. ”

Grandma Niu and Chu Xingshan were very happy when they heard it: "Okay, good." Grandma Niu even said three times in a row, "Our green jujube cooking skills are good, and we are favored by the county magistrate, so it's no wonder, green jujube!

Zhao Qingzao smiled and nodded: "Got it!" Grandma, by the way, look, do you want to let the hiking change clothes?"

Grandma Niu turned her head and looked at the clothes her grandson was wearing, and nodded: "Hiking, go and change into the new clothes you made for the New Year, this is the county order to see us, we can't be too shabby." ”

Chu Xingshan smiled and nodded: "Hey! Then he turned his head to look at Shen Changting, "Changting, Qingjuju, you wait for me here for a while, and I'll come out immediately." ”

After seeing Zhao Qingzao and Shen Changting nodding, he turned around and went back to his room to change clothes.

Grandma Niu took the hands of the two of them: "You two are good boys, you have helped Grandma so much this time, Grandma really doesn't know how to thank you." ”

Shen Changting bent down slightly: "Grandma's words are too polite, you and Xingshan have been taking care of Qingjube and treating her as their own relatives, these are all things I should do, you don't need to thank or anything." ”

Zhao Qingzao listened to his words, her heart was full of warmth, she first glanced at Shen Changting, and then turned her head to look at Grandma Niu: "Grandma, my father-in-law is right, don't see us again." ”

Grandma Niu shook her head lightly: "Although I said so, but I don't thank you, I feel uncomfortable, so let's do it! After coming back in the evening, I came to Grandma's house to eat, although Grandma is not as good as the cooking skills of green dates, but Grandma can still eat it." ”

Zhao Qingzao glanced at Shen Changting with a smile, Shen Changting nodded at her slightly, and then Zhao Qingzao smiled and promised Grandma Niu: "Grandma, then I won't be polite to you, come to your house for a delicious meal at night." ”

Her playful words made Grandma Niu laugh: "You ghost girl, Grandma will definitely make you something to eat, don't worry!"

At this moment, Chu Xingshan also walked out of the house, and then the three of them were ready to leave for the yamen, Grandma Niu kept sending them to the door, and kept emphasizing that Zhao Qingzao and his wife should come over for dinner tonight.

Zhao Qingzao responded continuously, only to let Grandma Niu relax and let them leave, and the three of them talked while walking, and soon came to the yamen.

The prefectural magistrate was already waiting for them in the lobby.

Shen Changting first saluted the county magistrate and confessed: "Let the lord wait for a long time, and I hope the lord will forgive the sin." ”

Zhao Qingzao also gave a gentle salute: "They are all little women, so they will be delayed, and I hope the adults will not be angry." ”

Chu Xingshan also immediately clenched his fists: "My lord, if you want to blame it, blame the grass people! Both of them are waiting for me to be late, so they ......."

The county magistrate smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, I haven't said anything yet! ”

Then he turned his head to look at Chu Xingshan: "You are Chu Xingshan?"

"It's the grass people. Chu Xingshan nodded.

The county magistrate stroked the beard on his chin, looked at the burly young man in front of him and nodded slightly: "Yes, yes, this official heard that you can do martial arts, is it true?"

Chu Xingshan bowed his head and said modestly: "My lord is too praised, the grass people just know how to embroider their legs, and they can't talk about any martial arts." ”

"Then you can show the official a set of punches!" the prefectural commander looked at him with a smile.

Chu Xingshan first quietly glanced at Zhao Qingzao and the others, and the latter nodded slightly at him. Then Chu Xingshan once again said to the county magistrate that he was offended, and began to play boxing.

After a set of punches, Chu Xingshan was already sweating profusely, and the satisfaction on the face of the county magistrate was even stronger: "Kung fu is good." ”

Chu Xingshan stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his head, smiled modestly and said he didn't dare, and then stood in place with his head bowed and waited for the county magistrate to ask.

"Is there anyone else in your family?"

"Caomin's parents died at an early age, and now he lives with his grandmother. Chu Xingshan replied in a low voice.

The county magistrate then asked, "Then why do you want to come to the county government to work?"

Chu Xingshan raised his head and looked at the county magistrate with firm eyes: "The grass people want to get ahead, and they want to let grandma live a better life." ”

The county magistrate listened to his words and nodded lightly: "Not bad, good, honest and kind, filial piety, very good." ”

Chu Xingshan lowered his head and clenched his fists: "My lord's praise." ”

"The yamen is now short of a handyman by the side of the anchor Shen, do you want to do it?"

"The grass people are willing to do it, thank you to the county magistrate for giving the villain this opportunity. Chu Xingshan immediately knelt on the ground and thanked the county commander.

The county magistrate smiled slightly: "Why don't you ask how much salary?"

Chu Xingshan shook his head lightly: "You can learn a lot of things by Anchor Shen's side, even if you don't give money to the grass people, the grass people are willing." ”

Now the county magistrate smiled even more happily: "Okay, good, but you just don't want this reward, the official will also give it to you, eight taels of silver a month, how about it?"

Chu Xingshan was even more excited at this time, and respectfully saluted the county commander: "Thank you, sir." ”

The county magistrate waved his hand at him and asked him to get up, and then he turned his gaze to Zhao Qingzao: "Qingzao, I guess Changting has already told you, right?

Zhao Qingzao stepped forward with a smile and bowed to the county magistrate before getting up and returning: "The prince has already told me all about the matter, thanks to the county magistrate who does not dislike the little woman's craftsmanship, the little woman is already grateful." ”

The county magistrate looked at her with a smile: "So, you agreed?"

The little woman agreed. Zhao Qingzao replied with a smile.

This time the county magistrate is even more satisfied: "Now the official has a mouthful, green dates, all the ingredients in the kitchen are readily available, you can watch and do it! The official believes in your cooking skills." ”

Zhao Qingzao Shili: "Yes, but, Lord County Commander, can the little woman ask more questions?"

"What's the problem?" you say.

"I want to ask, what about the former cook of the county government?"

"So that's what you asked!" the county magistrate stroked his beard and smiled, "The former cook of the county government is now old, old and faint, and she can't tell what salt is and what sugar is." This cooking, of course, is ...... Not too tasty. ”

Zhao Qingzao smiled knowingly: "You turned out to be like this." ”

"That's it! There are a lot of people in the yamen, and I'm afraid that you won't be able to do it alone, so how about letting that cook do it for you? That is, washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, and so on, so that you can be more relaxed. ”

Someone helped, Zhao Qingzao was naturally willing, she bent her knees slightly: "Little woman, thank you for the kindness of the county magistrate, then you talk first, I'll go to the kitchen to have a look." Then he walked out.
