Chapter 104: Being a Man with His Tail Between His Legs
Ruan Qingchen and Ruan Linlang glanced at each other, and both of them felt that there must be something else hidden in them.
The county commander's face couldn't hold back, and he was a little angry: "Lord Ruan, don't take this little thing to heart, they are all people from small places, and they don't know the dignity of your identity!" ”
"Well, I'll go and beat him again."
However, there was a touch of schadenfreude in his eyes, as if he wanted to say: Even if you are a big official, what if the shopkeeper doesn't want to see you, doesn't he give you a look?
Ruan Qingchen glanced at him indifferently, did not lose his temper, and said: "I am just an ordinary person, although I am an official position, but I am doing things for the people." ”
"This shopkeeper clearly knows that I am from the capital, but his attitude is so bad, and there are other people who left directly after seeing us coming, there must be some reason for this, I will get to the bottom of it."
His words seemed to contain a lot of weight, and the county commander's expression stiffened, and he snorted dryly: "It is really an honor for our Hongxian County to have such an upright and considerate official as Lord Ruan arrive." ”
While he was talking, Ruan Linlang kept observing him intently, and she was sure in her heart that there must be something wrong with this county order.
The county magistrate was now aware of her gaze, and for some reason, he always felt that this gaze made him a little uncomfortable.
So the county magistrate asked, "Why is Miss Ruan looking at me with such a gaze?" Did what just happen made you unhappy? ”
"What is the prefectural decree talking about? I'm not the kind of pampered lady, and this coarse tea and light rice is not bad. ”
"That's it......" Ruan Linlang squinted and smiled, and paused deliberately, making the county magistrate frown: "What's it?" ”
"It is said that when people lie, their eyes will always look wildly, and you have been looking at it indiscriminately just now, so I observed you."
Her words were very direct, and the smile of the county magistrate stiffened on her face.
Isn't she just saying that he was lying?
Ruan Qingchen glanced at her warningly: "Don't listen to her nonsense, she is still young and doesn't understand anything, so she knows that she is in trouble." ”
Hearing this, Ruan Linlang stuck out her tongue and deliberately pretended to be innocent.
Hong Xian also squeezed out a smile: "It's cute and lively." ”
After eating, Hong Xian asked the shopkeeper to help arrange two rooms, and he went to the kitchen to find the shopkeeper.
Ruan Linlang got up, Ruan Qingchen immediately looked at her: "Why are you going?" ”
"Dad, are you staring at me like a thief, I'm your daughter, and I'm not a flood beast!" Ruan Linlang rolled her eyes, quite helpless about this.
"Okay, I'm going to the bathroom."
But the direction she went was clearly the location where the county order left, Ruan Qingchen instantly understood her little abacus, and he also knew that there was something wrong with the county order, so he let her go.
After the county magistrate went to the kitchen, he looked at the shopkeeper arrogantly, "What's the matter with you, with the attitude you just had towards the court officials, you will lose your head, believe it or not?" ”
The shopkeeper had a straight face, obviously not wanting to bow his head.
But when the person who followed the county order stepped forward, he immediately coaxed.
"County order, you are embarrassing me about this, you see, as soon as you come in, all the people are gone, if the people who live in the hotel know, they will definitely leave immediately."
"I'm in a small business, and if this continues, I'll have to close my business sooner or later! And if there is an agreement between us people and you, you must not deceive others too much. ”
He was indignant.
Ruan Linlang, who was eavesdropping, moved her ears, she squinted her eyes, what agreement?
The county magistrate snorted coldly: "Anyway, this hot potato will be given to you today, you have to take it, and you have to take it if you don't take it." ”
"If you behave like this again and let them find out that something is wrong, don't blame me for being rude!"
Seeing that the topic was about to end, Ruan Linlang hurriedly returned to her position, she picked up the porridge and took a sip, her face was as usual.
Hong Xian came out of it and said with a smile: "Just now I asked the shopkeeper to arrange two rooms for you, Lord Ruan, Miss Ruan, you will live there?" ”
"Don't do it."
Ruan Linlang put the chopsticks on the table and said dissatisfiedly: "The dishes in this store are really unpalatable, if I eat it for a few more days, I'm afraid I will lose so much weight that I only have bones." ”
"Lord County Commander, how can you say that you are an official, and you must have a few properties of your own every year to lead the imperial court, right?"
The meaning of Ruan Linlang's words is already very obvious, even if he wants to pretend that he doesn't understand.
"Linlang!" Ruan Qingchen's angry voice sounded.
He did it on purpose.
Ruan Linlang must have overheard something just now, so he deliberately said this, he understood her temperament.
So he didn't say anything more next, but waited for the response of the prefectural order.
The county magistrate couldn't pretend to be stupid anymore, so he had to compromise: "My Yulu sometimes helps people from poor families, and you also know that our Hong County is poor, so there is only one very small and broken place, you won't mind, right?" ”
Ruan Linlang nodded, generous: "Yes." ”
In fact, she wanted to go a little further, and it was better to live in the county magistrate's house, but it was not okay to offend him as soon as they met.
Otherwise, it will be very difficult to investigate in the future.
When leaving, the shopkeeper came out of the back kitchen happily, and Ruan Linlang deliberately winked at him when he saw it.
The shopkeeper couldn't help frowning, and he had a strange feeling in his heart.
got into the carriage, and there were only two people, Ruan Qingchen and Ruan Linlang.
Ruan Qingchen looked at her and asked helplessly, "What did you overhear just now, why did you do this?" ”
Ruan Linlang became serious, no longer arrogant, but said seriously: "Dad, this matter is definitely not as simple as we thought. ”
"I overheard their conversation just now, there is an unknown agreement between the county order and the people, and the people are so resistant to us, there must be a reason for that."
"I can see that the people also hate the county order."
"Then why don't you live in the store anymore?"
"Because the shopkeeper said that after we moved in, he would have no business, so we can't hurt others to have no food, right?"
Hearing this, Ruan Qingchen was so relieved, it seems that her daughter has really grown up, and now she has become so sensible.
"It seems that it is also good for you to come with me, yes."
Ruan Linlang knew what he meant, and was speechless, "By the way, Dad, I'll tell you one more thing." ”
"I'm going to wait to disguise myself and go out to find out about the situation, I should have a lot of gains."
This is a good idea, but Ruan Qingchen is worried about her safety: "Even if you take Guan Xiao with you, this is too unsafe." ”
"This person is unfamiliar with the place, are you still afraid that I will not be able to get into trouble? Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be a man with my tail between my legs! ”
