Chapter 139: The Mayor Visits
As the saying goes, if you don't speculate for more than half a sentence, Min'er saw that Ling'er was a little embarrassed, so she opened her mouth to relieve the siege and said:
"Ling'er just came back, and she was too tired after a few days of travel, so I asked her to rest and rest, this girl has to come to see my milk to rest assured." After Min'er finished speaking, Li Shi said:
"Oh, I said why is this Ling'er's face not very good, your milk is fine, go back and rest first." The Li family now understands their situation very well, as long as the Zhao family dies, then Min'er will not give them a penny again, and she must please their sisters for her own interests.
"That's what I mean, Ling'er, let's go back, when you're rested, we'll come back tomorrow." Min'er didn't pay attention to them after speaking, and the two of them pulled Ling'er and left.
"Sister, what's going on?" Ling'er felt that something must have happened to Min'er and Zhao Bianjiang.
"What's so strange? They were lukewarm to us, and now that Dad is not there, they are too lazy to talk to us. "Min'er is mainly unhappy for Zhao He, and her father is benevolent to them, but what about them? There is no enthusiasm yet, they do the first year of junior high school, then she can do fifteen. Anyway, her reputation has long been ruined because of having children out of wedlock, and it's not a big deal to be unfilial, and now she understands that those so-called etiquette numbers are not so effective in the face of money.
"Sister, why did you say that grandpa and second uncle did this to us?" Ling'er had wanted to ask this question for a long time, and she really couldn't think of anything in her family that she was sorry for them.
"Who knows, Dad doesn't know why I know where to go? What do you want to do with those useless things? We just need to have a clear conscience. What do you care about others? Min'er is now in a much more relaxed mood.
"Also, by the way, sister, why didn't I see my eldest nephew?" Ling'er then remembered Zhao Boyuan.
"He's at his uncle's, and the day before yesterday he estimated that he would be back in the next two days." As soon as Min'er finished speaking, she saw a person running not far in front of her. When I looked at it, it was Zhao An.
"Girl, someone from the house has arrived." Zhao An ran out of breath.
"What kind of person is you, and you are running for your life?" Min'er couldn't help but ridicule when she saw Zhao An, who had gradually stabilized in the past two years, run like this.
"It's the mayor here, if it's someone else, I can't do it." Zhao An has only regained some vitality in the past two years, and Zhao He's disappearance has always made him blame himself for not protecting his master.
"What is he here for? When I went to see it, I knew that I would have taken the car. Min'er had to speed up her steps, Zhao's home was not far from her own home. If you want to say close, it is not close. It's a bit of a long walk, but it's not worth it by car.
When Min'er returned home, she first went back to her room to change her clothes to meet the guests, and then went to the living room in the front yard to meet the guests. Ling'er naturally went with her sister to trim up.
"I don't know if the mayor of the town has arrived, the women are really rude." Min'er gave a full salute to the mayor of the town, Ma Yiqian, and Ma Yiqian naturally couldn't bear it, so he got up and turned slightly sideways and returned with a half-salute before he spoke:
Zhao Dangjia said seriously. If you want to say that it is rude, it is presumptuous for the old man to come to the door uninvited to disturb him. I hope Zhao Dangjia will forgive me. "Ma Yiqian's news is very well-informed, and he knows very well who is standing behind the two sisters, otherwise it would be like a fantasy talk if the two sisters want to do such a big deal so smoothly.
"Mayor Ma is a nobleman, we just can't invite us if we want to, so why bother using, our sisters can't ask for it. Look at me as a fool, Ling'er is Mayor Ma. Min'er introduced Ma Yiqian to Ling'er, and Ling'er hurriedly saluted him. This time, Ma Yiqian completely turned his body over and returned the full salute. He didn't have the courage to take her salute. If it weren't for some things that couldn't be put on the table, he would have bowed to her a long time ago, he said that he was a town mayor, and he didn't actually have any rank, and he wasn't an official of the court at all.
"The girl doesn't need to be polite, Ma really can't stand it." Ling'er didn't say anything when he saw him like this, it seemed that he must know his relationship with Sima Chen.
"I wonder what the town chief is doing when he comes to the door in person today?" After chatting a few words of gossip, Min'er made the conversation clear to the point, mainly because she was still worried about what Ling'er was going to say.
"This matter is a little troublesome, Ma really doesn't know what to do, so he came to ask Zhao in person." Because Min'er was born out of wedlock, she was a little entangled in her name, and in the end, I don't know who started first, and slowly everyone called her Zhao Dangjia.
"I don't know what?" Min'er really couldn't figure out what could help her to the mayor of a town.
"That's right, your people's worry-free wine in the mountains is famous all over the world, not only our people in the Dafeng Dynasty know that even the Wei Kingdom, the Xun Kingdom, the Yaoyan Kingdom and the Yufeng Kingdom that have been inconsistent with us for many years are also famous. We had trade with the Yaoyan Kingdom before the border between Baihua Town, but it stopped because of the war decades ago. This is not a few years ago, the saint made a will to trade, and this is why our White Birch Town has prospered again, and you must be very clear about this. "The mayor's words, Min'er and Ling'er naturally know, these are not secrets, as long as the people in Birch Town know.
"We are naturally clear about this, but we don't know what the town chief means......" Min'er is not pretending to be confused, she really doesn't understand.
"That's right, now other goods have clear terms of trade, but this worry-free wine does not have any terms that can be applied. So Ma came to ask Zhao Dangjia, how to determine the terms of this worry-free wine? Ma Yiqian didn't need to ask Min'er what he meant, but after he knew the mountain behind them, he had to ask, he didn't want to inadvertently make a big enemy for himself.
"Mayor Ma is so affordable, the women are really frightened." Min'er is not a fool and naturally knows why he came, but this kind of thing is what she should ask, so she doesn't plan to say more.
"Zhao Dangjia shouldn't have bothered you about this, but this worry-free thing is a new thing and there is no precedent to follow, and Ma is really embarrassed to ask for advice." Ma Yiqian heard what Min'er meant, if he didn't get an explanation today, it would be difficult.
"Mayor Ma, I wonder if the little girl can say a few words?" Ling'er saw that Min'er didn't want to say more, and Ma Yiqian refused to give up, so she had to come out to ease up, and sure enough, as soon as she opened her mouth, she got Min'er's scheming eyes and Ma Yiqian's surprised eyes.
"Miss Ling'er, please speak, listen to me." Ma Yiqian's original mood was much more cheerful all of a sudden, and he didn't hear much about Ling'er's rumors, and with her help, this matter would definitely be done beautifully.
"Mayor Ma, our Worry-Free Wine is different from other wines, not only because of its efficacy, but also because of its raw materials. This raw material is relatively scarce only in my Dafeng Dynasty, and even if I bring seeds to other places, I can't survive, so we only built two wineries in the entire Dafeng Dynasty. In addition, the price of this wine is not high, so it is very difficult for us to supply the goods to us in Dafeng, and some people have to wait for half a year to get the order. If we increase sales, we really can't do anything, who has money and doesn't want to make money, it's really bound by conditions. I think that Ma Zhen can report the situation to the imperial court, I think the imperial court has its own decision, this worry-free wine is for the benefit of the people of Dafeng, and there is no reason for his own people to benefit the people of other countries, right? Ling'er's meaning Ma Yiqian naturally heard it clearly, but he didn't expect that the matter that had made him worry for several days would be solved in a few words when he came to someone's house.
"What the girl said is very true, Ma is really open, and I will go back to report to the court in the next place." got the answer he wanted, and Ma Yiqian immediately went back to town.
"You girl is getting more and more unruly, how can you participate in this kind of thing?" Min'er is angry, Ling'er has a quick mouth.
"Sister, don't you want to think about why Mayor Ma came in person? It's all about sending a subordinate, and if someone comes in person, it means that he must get a word from you. If you refuse all of a sudden, you will reach out and slap someone in the face, then we will not be so comfortable in White Birch Town, I didn't say anything, I just told him about our difficulties, and it has nothing to do with us as for what he does. Ling'er's words made Min'er figure it out at once, and then she realized that she had almost made a big mistake.
"It's still you, a ghost elf, who can be a man, and my sister is much worse than you."
"Sister, what are you talking about, I'm not as good as our Zhao master." After Ling'er finished speaking, she ran away, just to avoid Min'er's attack.
"You girl, come here, you said you have something to say at noon, what is the matter?" Min'er suddenly remembered this, Ling'er took Min'er's hand and took her to her room, Min'er couldn't help but get nervous when she saw her mysterious appearance.
"What the hell is going on? Hurry up and say that my heart is about to pop out. After entering the room, Ling'er had just closed the door, and Min'er spoke in a hurry.
"Sister, you sit down first, what I'm going to say is a good thing, but I can't let anyone know about it now. You have to make sure that no matter what I say, you can't make a sound or cry, or you won't say a word even if you beat me to death. Ling'er was afraid of Min'er's well-developed tear ducts.
"Okay, I promise, say it quickly, I'm going to make you die." Min'er now agrees to any conditions, she understands Ling'er's character, if it weren't for a big deal, she wouldn't be like this.
"Sister, I have news of our father and my brother, they are still alive." As soon as Ling'er's words fell, Min'er immediately covered her mouth and cried silently, although she promised well, but this sudden news still made her unable to control the excitement in her heart. Years of wordless letters had made her think they were all gone, and now knowing that they were all alive could not make her so excited?
"Hey, cry if you want to, don't hold it like this, you'll get sick, I'll continue when your mood calms down." Min'er's crying made her cry all the time, so the two sisters hugged each other and cried happily, if it wasn't for Ling'er's confession, someone would have rushed in. (To be continued......)
