"Miss, I see that these people are far inferior to you." Qianlan looked around and said with a smile.

"Be quiet, let the family hear it, it will inevitably be another trouble." Jian Ning made a silent gesture and said to Qianlan.

Qianlan nodded embarrassedly when she saw that she was busy.

Although there are many people who come to the county office, after several rounds of deletion and selection by the county officials, there are only about ten people left. Jian Ning took a look at the few people left behind, half of them were from the families of wealthy businessmen, and two of them were relatives of the county officials.

Jian Ning pursed her lips, the draft is really a game played by rich and powerful people. Although I'm not poor, I really don't want to stand with this group of people.

After the county magistrate finally explained the date of the re-election and some precautions, he let everyone go home.

As soon as Jian Ning entered the house, Liu Leshan hurriedly ran forward and said worriedly: "How is the situation?" ”

"It's over." Jian Ning replied as she walked inside.

"Passed? Oops, I knew it was going to be like this. Liu Leshan lowered his head helplessly, looked at Jian Ning and said, "According to Ning'er's appearance, there are indeed few people, how can it be." ”

Jian Ning poured herself a cup of tea, and after drinking it, she said to Liu Leshan: "Senior brother, this may not be!" I think today's batch of selected people are all rich ladies with heads and faces. Like me, when the second election is held, it will definitely be brushed off, you can rest assured. ”

When Liu Leshan heard this, he had to comfort himself: "I hope so, I hope so." ”

"By the way, senior brother, you should go to Zijin more these days and accompany her more." Jian Ning suddenly diverted the topic.

"What does Ning'er mean by this?" Liu Leshan was a little stunned for a moment.

"I said, senior brother, you care so much about my affairs, why don't you care about yourself!" Jian Ning patted Liu Leshan on the shoulder and said, "What a good girl Zijin is!" If you don't hurry up. But it was preempted by others. ”

When Liu Leshan heard this, two blush instantly flew on his face, and he said, "Ning'er, even if I want to, then people have to look at me!" ”

"Senior brother, I said that you are usually quite smart, why are you so unenlightened at this time!" Jian Ning said with a look of hatred that iron does not become steel. "Zijin has been on Tianhua Mountain all the time. Except for her master and brother, she never saw anyone else. Now that both of them are gone, she has always been with us. As long as you work hard, Zijin will definitely like you. ”

Now, she's injured. My health is not good, I boiled soup to replenish my body every day and asked Xi'er to take it," Liu Leshan paused. Touching his head, he said embarrassedly, "Ning'er, you also know that senior brother will do this, and he won't please girls." If you tell me how to do it, I'll do it. ”

"Senior brother, it's good that you make soup every day. But why let Xi'er serve it, you can send it over in person! You have to let Zijin see you from time to time. I know your goodness, I know your thoughtfulness! ”

"Also, Zijin is just now able to walk on the ground, if you have something to do, you can accompany her to walk around the yard and tell her about interesting things outside, so that you can always get closer."

"But if I keep running to Miss Ruan's yard like this, will it be bad for her reputation?" Liu Leshan listened to what Jian Ning said, and asked with some hesitation.

"Senior brother, as long as you have a clear conscience, you don't care what others say. Besides, isn't Xi'er also on the side, and it's not for you to be alone. Jian Ning said with a serious face.

This era is trouble, chasing a girl, falling in love, you have to take care of this and that.

"Okay, then I'll listen to Ning'er, and I'll try it tomorrow." Liu Leshan listened and said with a smile on his face.

Three days later, it was the second election, and in the morning, Qianlan came in to wait for Jian Ning to get up. Originally, these were Xi'er's jobs, but now that Zijin is injured, and Qianlan is very persistent, she must take care of Jian Ning, so Jian Ning temporarily sent Xi'er to Ruan Zijin.

"Qianlan, you don't have to do it carefully today, and you don't have to wipe anything, as long as your face is clean." Jian Ning washed her face and took the towel to Qianlandao.

"Miss, have you forgotten that you are going to the county government for the re-election today, how can you not prepare well?" Qianlan asked with a strange expression.

"No, and this hair doesn't need to be combed into any complicated buns, just pull it in a bun." Jian Ning sat down in front of the dresser and said while combing her hair.

"Huh?" Qianlan was even more puzzled at this moment, "Miss, although you are good-looking, you can't be so casual!" You must know that these women today are all selected in the past three days, and they must all look okay, if you go like this, you will definitely suffer! ”

"Alright, alright, let you do what you want, or I'll do it myself." Jian Ning deliberately straightened her face and said.

When Qianlan saw it, she had to step forward immediately and dress her up according to Jian Ning's request.

Jian Ning looked at herself in the mirror and didn't seem very satisfied. If it weren't for the county magistrate of Yangxin County who had seen her before, she would have wanted to make it even uglier!

After a qiē was ready, Jian Ning sat in a soft sedan chair all the way to the county office.

Today, there are no longer people coming and going at the gate of the county government as they did three days ago, and there are only a few sedan chairs and a few carriages at the door.

Jian Ning got out of the sedan chair and was helped by Qianlan to walk inside.

When I walked inside, I realized that it was really unusual, and the women were all gorgeously dressed, drawing eyebrows and eyes, and they were extremely exquisite. Compared to them, Jian Ning was even more plain.

Jian Ning didn't want to attract attention, so she and Qianlan stood quietly in a corner, waiting for the county official to come over.

"Miss, what do you think in your heart?" Qianlan looked at every woman around her, and turned to Jian Ning and said, "Miss, don't you want to be a show girl?" ”

When Jian Ning heard this, she immediately reached out to cover Qianlan's mouth, looked around and said, "You can't talk nonsense here, it will cause trouble." ”

Qianlan was frightened by this suddenness, her eyes widened, and she looked at Jian Ning and nodded.

Jian Ning slowly put down her hand, raised her eyes to look at it, and said softly: "Qianlan, do you think it's good to enter the palace?" ”

"Of course not. In my eyes, nothing is as good as Xiaoyao Valley! Qianlan immediately shook her head and said.

"Have you been in Runaway since you were a child? What about your family? Jian Ning could see Qianlan's love for Xiaoyao Valley and the strong sense of belonging that flashed in her eyes.

"I was an orphan since I was a child, and I didn't know who my parents were. It was the young master who brought me back to Xiaoyao Valley and raised me to teach me. Qianlan said lightly, "It's a pity that when I was eight years old, the young master and the young lady were gone. After that, the master gave me to the little master and asked me to help take care of the young master. ”

Young master? It should be Jiu'er's father.

"Then have you been out of Runaway Valley before?" Jian Ning asked curiously.

"It's a common thing to go out of the valley, but it's usually to help the little master find some precious medicinal materials, and go to sparsely populated places. I've never lived out there like this. ”

"Your Excellency has arrived!" While he was talking, a servant came out and shouted.

Jian Ning immediately motioned for Qianlan to stop talking, walked a few steps forward quickly, and stood with the other women.

After a while, the county magistrate came out. Jian Ning noticed that after the county official glanced at everyone roughly, he took the roster on the side, pointed to the names of several people, and asked the new master on the side softly.

At first glance, the master looks like a thief with a thief's head and a thief's brain, which makes people feel uncomfortable all over the body. If it hadn't been for the county draft a few days ago, Jian Ning would still not know that Master Sun had retired.

And this new master heard that he is not small, and he has officials he knows in Kyoto. The reason why I went to Yangxin Prefecture was because I committed an accident in Kyoto.

The county magistrate followed the direction of the master's finger, and looked at a few more women, nodding his head constantly when he saw one.

Jian Ning knew in her heart that those people should have given benefits.

Sure enough, after some deletion, those women were on the list.

Jian Ning originally thought that this time there would be no more names of her own, because not only did she not dress up, but she also did not give them any benefits. I believe that I can't take my turn.

But what really surprised Jian Ning was that she actually passed it!

"My lord, the little girl thinks that she is not better than the women who didn't know guò before, why would the adult choose the little girl?" Finally, Jian Ning couldn't help but ask the county official.

"This official has his own decision-making, and it is your honor to be selected, why do you ask so much!" The county official glanced at Jian Ning impatiently and said.

Jian Ning knew that she would not be able to please if she asked any more, so she could only retreat.

Out of the yamen, Jian Ning was not in a hurry to go back, but waited outside the county yamen.

Jian Ning always felt that this thing was strange, so she had to wait for the list after the re-election to come out, she must know who was selected.

If the people in this are all powerful rich ladies, then there must be a problem if you are caught in the middle. If there are still women from ordinary families like themselves, it may be that the county official is afraid of accidents, so he really chose a few more outstanding women to explain.

Jian Ning and Qianlan had been waiting outside the county office for almost two hours, and all the show girls came out of the county office. After waiting for another hour, the list of show girls was posted on the notice board in front of the county yamen.

Jian Ning hurriedly stepped forward to look, there were a total of fifteen people on the list. Jian Ning took a look, and there were ten people who were rich ladies. Counting myself and the other four, they are all ordinary people.

"Miss, is there a problem?" Qianlan looked at Jian Ning for a long time, and asked lightly beside her.

"Now it seems that there should be no problem. Let's go, go home, senior brother should be in a hurry. Jian Ning said with a faint smile. (To be continued) R580
