Chapter 197: This county is the chief official
"Oh!" Fan Ming didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only hand the schoolcloth bag in his hand to Zhang Wan'er and walk inside.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Fan Ming found that several girls inside were busy inside and out, and his wife and Mo Xirong were standing on the stairs and commanding, if it weren't for Mo Xirong who couldn't wait to go down by himself, Fan Qin's face immediately relaxed when he saw Fan Ming coming back, "Wulang, this is back." ”
Glancing at the expression on Mo Xirong's face, Fan Ming immediately understood what was going on, it is estimated that this old lady is establishing authority, and it is normal to think about it, but I am afraid that it will be difficult for Mo Xirong, "Mother, what are you doing here?" ”
As soon as he said this, Fan Qin's face tensed again, "This man is wandering outside, and women can't be lazy, how can they do if they don't take care of their home well, let these girls move today, you see if this courtyard is much brighter." ”
Fan Ming smiled and nodded, "Well, it's a lot brighter, mother, you can rest, it's only been a day in the county, and I'll take you around tomorrow." ”
"If you have something, leave me alone, I'll let Wan'er accompany me for a walk, be hungry, it's not early, let's eat!" Fan Ming carried the old lady into the room, and did not hesitate to let the 'acquaintance' go down to Zhang Luo to eat, Fan Qin pulled Fan Ming aside and said: "Son, this woman can't always be put outside to show her face, what kind of body is it!" ”
Fan Ming knew that what she said was Mo Xirong, and it was difficult to refute it, after all, the old lady was thinking about herself, "It's okay, mother, there is a shopkeeper in the shop, and Xirong is just collecting accounts and managing people." ”
"This doesn't work, the woman's family should stay at home and serve the man, you look at the family up and down the rules, you have to take care of it."
Seeing that the old lady was resolute, Fan Ming couldn't say anything more. I can only agree, "I'll talk to her after a while, and then find another good housekeeper." ”
Seeing that his son agreed, Fan Qin's mood also improved, and beckoned Fan Ming to come and sit beside her, "Wulang, wait a few days to go to your two sisters' house to have a look, our Fan family is in the middle of the road, and they are also suffering." ”
Fan Ming was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Fan Qin had mentioned the matter of his two sisters to him, and it was indeed time to take a look, which was an explanation to the old lady, and an explanation to his identity, so he immediately nodded and agreed, "I'll go and see it in two days." ”
This day's dinner was still made according to the taste of the countryside, and the family ate quite harmoniously, but Fan Ming could feel a little aggrieved from Mo Xirong's face, and it was not easy to say anything in front of the family.
After eating, Fan Ming blocked the woman in the room, took the woman who came forward into his arms and said with a smile: "Aren't you a little unaccustomed?" ”
The woman shook her head, looked up at Fan Ming's well-defined face, and wrapped her hands tightly around Fan Ming's waist, "Ah Ming, I'm fine, as long as you have you, nothing else matters."
"Silly girl, what, tell me if you have a grievance." Fan Ming's heart was clear, it was a very common problem for the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to be difficult to deal with in later generations, but it seemed to be a matter of course in this era, and touched the woman's soft hair, "Or I'll go and talk to my mother and let you live alone in a hospital." ”
"Don't!" Mo Xirong exclaimed, "I really don't have anything, if I separate, I'm afraid I won't even want you anymore." ”
"Hey! The times are at odds! Fan Ming couldn't help but sigh lightly, from the later life where people were relatively equal, to the society where it was difficult to be equal between people and between men and women, many things that seemed normal in the later life could be touching, this ...... Being alive can be regarded as an invisible advantage of oneself.
Thinking about these things in his mind, Fan Ming saw that the woman was about to speak, so he simply stretched out his hand to cover her red lips, "You are a good woman, I told you a long time ago, I married you because I recognized you in my heart, you see that your mother's family is so strong, didn't I let them agree, is it that you are tired of me?" ”。
"Hmm", because Mo Xirong buried her head in Fan Ming's arms, which made her voice a little vague, "How come, I will follow you in this life, even if you whip me, I won't leave."
"It's natural to smoke, but it's not a whip, it's a ......", Fan Ming deliberately pushed his body with a wicked smile, causing Fan Ming's face to suddenly rise red.
……
The absurdity of the night became up, Fan Ming was still in a state of confusion, and it was already the next morning outside.
Fan Ming, who opened his eyes, saw that it was already daylight outside, and he suddenly sat up from the bed in a daze.
Thinking about yesterday's events, I don't know how the magistrate and Wang Fudong talked and whether they reached a consensus.
It wasn't until Fan Ming looked at the lotus drain on the side of the bed that he poured back on the bed with a sigh of relief, although it looked bright outside, but Chenguang was still early, speaking of this lotus drain was found in the hands of a merchant in Yingtianfu when he went to Suzhou last time, this thing has long been popular in the capital, but it is still very rare in Chuqiu, a relatively remote mountain village, and with this thing, it is also goodbye to the history of looking at time by the sky.
Fan Ming fell asleep on the bed for a while, and when he woke up from sleep, he turned over and got up, and after freshening up, he went to the county school.
This morning was still the same as usual, but when it was almost time to end school, Wang Jiaxuan suddenly appeared in front of him, looking at the look of surprise as if he had been a tribute student.
But after Wang Jiaxuan's explanation, Fan Ming also had an unbelievable look, it turned out that something really happened to this Chuqiu County Mansion!
Wang Zhixian really still has his own set of means, coupled with Wang Fudong's vigorous and resolute action, on this morning the two of them jointly took measures, the soldiers were divided into two roads, Wang Zhixian did not know where to transfer a battalion of the Xiang army, and the errand in the yamen and the soil archers in the nearby three townships did not move, set up checkpoints on the main roads leading to Chuqiu, only allowed to enter but not to exit, and now Chuqiu County can also be regarded as an iron and copper wall, not to mention that the salt is to be transported out, even if the salt water is not to be taken away.
And Wang Fudong, as the head of the Chuqiu Commercial Bank, announced the opening of a position to release salt at a flat price, and the amount of salt released this time far exceeded the amount supplied by all the commercial banks in Chuqiu in the past.
This time, the entire Chuqiu County shook, and a storm of selling gradually swept up, the merchants who had previously obeyed He Mingsong seemed a little panicked, and Bu Xiancheng was even more caught off guard, no one would have thought that Wang Zhixian, who had endured for so long, would be able to have such a thunderous method.
