In a blink of an eye, it was busy until noon, and Siqi asked Zhou Xing to come over and ask, how to arrange the lunch meal, so many people were working in front of them, and they couldn't let them go home for dinner at noon.

So Siqi decided to make all the meals, tired and tired, but the three of them were quite busy.

In the middle of the morning, Fang and Li came over with the girls who could do the work at home, and wanted to help them do things.

I didn't shirk it, I really need people.

With so many people eating, you can't prepare too much, otherwise you won't be busy at all.

Just those few dishes, the portions are larger, enough to eat.

For the people here, it is already a luxury to have a full meal, working in the yamen, and having food at noon, they are very happy no matter what they eat, and this is still made by Mrs. Zhixian herself.

After eating, everyone did not rest, and continued to work, and in two days, the yamen was cleaned up, much faster than Tiankuo thought.

If these officials put on decent clothes again, then this yamen will also have a look.

At the same time, Wang Tianlai also brought back the clothes from the next county, the current county of the next county was also in Lu County before, and then went to other places to be officials, and Wang Tianlai had a good relationship with them, knowing what the situation was on their side, they thought of a way to make up the extra clothes, and let them all take them back.

There are a total of six sets of clothes, and after these clothes are brought back, they are handed over to Siqi, Siqi's needlework is not good, and this matter can only be consulted by Fang and Li, asking them what materials they need to buy, and after deciding, they will search around and buy the things they want to buy.

Fang and Li found a few women from the same village to come over and help with the work, and within a few days, they drove out the clothes of these servants.

One person has one to wear first, and then has to make another replacement, so there is no such hurry, and after their clothes are put on, this yamen can be regarded as completely shaped.

After surviving this rush, Si Qi was already too tired, this time she didn't have a hard mouth, Tiankuo said that she asked the two mothers-in-law to come back to help, Si Qi didn't have any opinions, and said to let him decide this matter.

He found Wang Tianxiang again, they were not familiar with this place, and they were not at ease to go to Yaxing to find someone, so it was better to trouble Wang Tianxiang for help.

The next day, Wang Tianxiang brought two mothers-in-law over, they were in their forties, they looked very honest, Wang Tianxiang also explained their origins, these two people are from a village, these two families have a large population, and they can spare one person to help with the work.

The two mothers-in-law, one surnamed Zhou, the other surnamed Liu, Wang Tianxiang explained, they are all very good-tempered people, they can do things, and they are also good at cooking, I believe they can do a good job here.

With them here, there is no need to worry about laundry, cooking, and cleaning, she can take Zhou Hao and Zhou Xing to do the things that Tiankuo needs help with.

In addition, Yongqing, the eldest son of Wang Tianxiang's family, and Zhengyuan, the eldest son of Wang Tianlai's family, also came here to help, and if there was anything that needed to be moved, they would ask them to do it, and they could also drive the carriage when they went out, so that the family would have nothing to worry about.

Of course, Siqi will not treat them badly, he still gives two taels of silver a month, and he can go back when he has something at home, this is not a subordinate who bought it back from his own home, of course, he doesn't have to call so much, discuss everything, and get closer to each other, so that things can be done more smoothly.

In a blink of an eye, Tiankuo and Siqi have been in Lu County for a month, and after their efforts, this originally desolate and dilapidated county government is no different from other counties, and there should be everything.

At this time, the squires in the county were willing to come to the house to visit, and they were very unoptimistic when the sky came before.

What kind of territory is this Lu County, the court doesn't want to take care of it, the officials come and go one by one, and no one wants to take over this mess.

This new champion hasn't grown yet, so he came here to be an official, how long can he stay? Just looking at the dilapidated county government, I guess I don't have much confidence.

When Tiankuo took office, they didn't come to congratulate him, they just wanted to wait and see what kind of character this newcomer Xiaozhi County was.

As a result, after watching for a month, they found that he was really determined to do something practical, and the squires went around privately and talked about it for a while.

Since this magistrate is going to stay here for a long time, then they can't help but express it.

Since ancient times, the people have been afraid of officials, no matter how big the business is, it is also to give the official a little face, not to mention that this new Xiaozhi County has some ability, as long as he is instructed by the court to come here to be an official, that is the person who is in charge of this territory, and now that people have just come, they have to give some face.

As soon as the squires in the county discussed, they successively carried gifts and took their wives to visit Gu's mansion, thinking that they were already worried about things everywhere, and they were very busy, and they had to deal with those people.

When she didn't understand what these people were thinking? Looking at those false smiles, my heart panicked.

This place is poor, but there are a lot of rich people, everywhere is the same, the poor are the common people, the life of the high-ranking families is always not bad, no one is in charge of here, these big families occupy the land, and they will only exploit the ordinary people more.

Now they come to visit their homes just to make it easier and turn a blind eye to what they do in the future.

Now that you know what their purpose is, can you still give them a good face?

But if you are a newcomer, these interpersonal relationships must not be done well, otherwise it will be troublesome to do things everywhere in the future.

Siqi sighed in his heart more than once, it's better to be a child, she became a parent, she became the lady of the county, and social entertainment can't be saved, even if she is very reluctant in her heart, she still has to face the hypocrisy of these people, but it's really uncomfortable.

For several days, the wives of these local squires finally came to the same time, and Siqi also had time to go out with Tiankuo.

If it weren't for the delay of these people, she would have gone out the other day, and she couldn't wait to see what was going on in this place, and she would have to think of what crops would be suitable for planting, and then write to her family and let them prepare.
