The county magistrate's wife gave birth to a son. Named Wen Xuan. It is the county magistrate and his wife who hope that their children are as gentle as jade. On the day of the full moon wine, Zhuang Xiaochu took Xiao Qi to wear regular clothes to congratulate him. Xiao Wenxuan is white and fat, and she is very happy. Zhuang Xiaochu gave a gold lock, a gold collar, a gold bracelet, a gold anklet, and a 5-piece set of Huang Chengcheng.

There were a lot of guests, and the family of the lady also came. County Magistrate Sun turned the table to toast, and after the banquet, he left Zhuang Xiaochu, opened another table, and moved to the wing room Zhuang Xiaochu to gossip.

In fact, in officialdom, there are very few real friends, and some may only be allies. A lot of the time, you have to say some duplicitous scenes. And it will be much easier to be with Zhuang Xiaochu. Talking about the past and the present, talking about the world and the earth, free and interesting. Sometimes the county magistrate also goes to Hanakozhuang for half a day.

While talking and laughing, the county magistrate's brother helped his mother out, and Zhuang Xiaochu and his wife met him. Sit down and gossip together. The elder brother of the county magistrate Sun was ten years older than him, he was a little sick when he was a child, he didn't have time to be treated, his leg was a little disabled, he walked a little limp, and he had been living with his mother at home. Now my brother is an official. By congratulating the birth of a child, he came to join his brother. The county magistrate's wife is still very sensible, saying that she was afraid of conflicts when she lived in a house, so she bought a small house to live in. Every month, the lady sent someone to bring some silver taels.

Zhuang Xiaochu said: "Brother didn't find something to do?"

County Magistrate Sun said: "My brother has inconvenient legs and feet, and he is loyal and honest, and he only knows how to write and ink. In the past, at home, he was tending to a thin field. At this time, I don't know what to arrange for him. ”

"Brother Sun has forgotten me, right? Your official mansion is not very suitable for my brother, let him come to me, my branch here just lacks his own person who is in charge of things, and I have never had a suitable candidate. It's great to have my brother here. ”

"That's great. County Magistrate Sun said: "My wife is good, her family is also rich, and she also takes care of my mother and my brother. But I also thought about burdening my family every day, and I was afraid of estrangement after a long time, so I wondered what kind of livelihood I could make for my brother so that he could support himself. I'm worried, Brother Zhuang Xian is helping me solve my worries, thank you, thank you. ”

"Brother Sun, you are too polite. It's the best of both worlds. ”

After the full moon wine, Brother Sun went to the branch to manage the affairs, Brother Sun was down-to-earth and reliable, and the things arranged could be handled clearly and clearly, plus he had been in the countryside before, without a little shelf, and the people below could mingle, but he was also comfortable and comfortable.

The old lady sometimes followed Brother Sun to the branch, ate some coarse tea and light rice, and then chatted with those old people about family life, which was happier than her staying at home and eating delicacies from the mountains and seas. The old lady was happy and recognized Zhuang Xiaochu as her godson, and sometimes Zhuang Xiaochu also took the old lady to live in Huazizhuang for two days.

In the past, Zhu Laosi was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, but now he is a little more relaxed. There are a lot of people in Hanakozhuang. But it seems that there are more old people and children in the gang, and half of the young men have been sent to practice martial arts and become red beggars. There are really few middle-aged people like this who can read two words and are reliable and reliable.

On this day, Chunxi came to find the owner again, and Yang Chunxi is also the most beautiful girl in Yancheng. She is the only daughter of the owner of Yancheng Yangji Pharmacy. A pair of hooking Danfeng eyes, taller, convex and concave, walking swaying like willows, she is different from other women, other women are gentle spring rain, she is the hot summer breeze.

Since there was a time when the head of the pharmacy had something to do temporarily, she brought her friends to deliver medicinal herbs to Hanakozhuang and saw the owner. At just one glance, she was completely fascinated by Zhuang Xiaochu.

She found all kinds of reasons to come to Zhuang Xiaochu in a grand manner. One will be to negotiate the price of medicinal materials with the owner. The next time I came to ask how the medicinal materials sent this year were. Sending a batch of medicinal herbs, she can divide it into 3 times, send a little at a time, and when she comes, she will stay in Zhuang Xiaochu and Xiaoqi's house and not leave. Just stuck to Zhuang Xiaochu and didn't talk for a while, she looked at Zhuang Xiaochu's eyes, and they were about to glow. A few more times, a fool can see what she means.

Everyone in the village secretly wondered: "Yang Chunxi looks like a rose, and every day he comes, the owner of the village is not moved." Could the owner of the village belong to a monk?"

Zhu Laosi joked: "Owner, you can take her." After accepting her, don't we need to give her the money for our medicinal materials?"

Lao Li said: "The owner of the village accepted her, and it was a trivial matter whether to give the money for medicinal materials or not, mainly because her family's Yang Ji Pharmacy has become our village." ”

Zhuang Xiaochu said: "You two are crazy about money, spare me." Help her out. She came again the next day, still smiling. Zhuang Xiaochu has not learned how to refuse girls in modern society, and he has never been in love. He only liked one girl in college, and he still poked and poked secretly. So he doesn't deal with girls at all, especially pretty ones.

So when she came, Zhuang Xiaochu only snubbed her every time and let her retreat by herself. He took a book and looked at it for a long time. He reads books, and Yang Chunxi sits on the side to watch him, and he also looks at him for a long time. Those who don't know about that scene still feel very warm. The brothers in the village all said: If this continues, the owner of the village will be taken down by Yang Chunxi sooner or later. Yang Chunxi also thinks so in his heart.

Because Yang Chunxi is an outsider, Xiao Qi is not easy to come forward, so Xiao Qi took his anger on Zhuang Xiaochu: "I think you are just interesting to her, otherwise why don't you make it clear to her?"

"She's a girl, what can I say? Besides, she didn't say she liked me. ”

"I don't think you're willing to say it, you just enjoy it. The two of them have never blushed, because of Yang Chunxi, the two of them quarreled. For several days, Xiao Qi ignored Zhuang Xiaochu, and wherever Zhuang Xiaochu was, he hid far away. The people in the village are very strange, Xiao Qi usually has a good personality, why did he fall out with the owner this time?

Zhuang Xiaochu had no choice, so he had to ask Zhu Laosi to tell Boss Yang that his daughter would not come to him. Boss Yang asked, "What's the matter, my Yang Ji's girl is not worthy of your owner?"

Zhu Laosi hurriedly smiled: "How can it be? Your daughter is like a flower and jade, how many people are worried about it." Put a sentence out, it is estimated that the threshold of your family can be flattened by the matchmaker. It's our owner who is not worthy of your daughter, to tell you the truth, it's my owner who has had a secret illness since he was a child, and the doctor said that he was not suitable for marriage since he was a child. Now I am still taking medicine every day to recuperate. I'm really afraid of delaying your girl. Boss Yang Ji listened to the reason, so he didn't say anything, and went home to enlighten his girl.

Yang Chunxi came again later, and he didn't speak, but just looked at Zhuang Xiaochu with resentment in his eyes, watched for a long time, and then stopped coming.

Hua Zi Zhuang and Yang Kee Pharmacy did the same. Yang Chunxi didn't come anymore, and Xiao Qi and Zhuang Xiaochu slowly reconciled.
