Yuan Bao'er was surprised, but seeing that he looked impatient, she put away the chess box, took the book and continued to read.

Zhang Mao didn't want to read in the car, let alone talk to mediocre people, so he opened the curtain to look at the scenery.

When Yuan Baoer turned the page, he raised his eyes and saw that he was looking at the passing car.

She glanced over and saw the family emblem hanging on the side of the car, and her brows moved slightly.

That's the Gu family in Kezhou, but Kezhou is obviously in the west, how can the car go east?

The thought flashed through her mind, and Yuan Bao'er put it aside.

After all, it's none of her business.

After two days like this, I finally entered the boundary of Hongyuan County.

Everyone went straight to the mansion, and as soon as they arrived, Zhang Mao couldn't wait to get out of the car.

At this time, it was noon, the scorching sun was in the sky, and the servants went to the room to rest in twos and threes.

The main gate of the government office was empty, and there was no figure in half of it.

Zhang Mao stood there for a while, didn't wait for anyone, and couldn't help but shout angrily: "What about people? ”

The voice echoed over the palace, and no one came out for a while.

Yuan Bao'er got out of the car slowly, saw that Zhang Maoqi's face was red, and pulled the corners of his mouth.

"Lord Zhang, it's hot at this time, it's better to go in first."

Zhang Mao turned his head and saw Yuan Bao'er blocking the sun with his hand and squinting at it, so he pursed his lips and strode inside.

The two of them went straight all the way and entered the lobby without any cover.

Even Yuan Bao'er, who had the heart to help the officials exonerate, couldn't help pouting.

This is too lazy, even if you are lazy, you will have to keep a janitor.

Zhang Mao sat on the high seat, picked up the startling wood angrily, and slapped it hard.

Yuan Bao'er was glancing left and right, thinking about whether she could find someone to come over.

Suddenly he heard a sound explode in his ears, and he was startled.

Zhang Mao didn't expect to be able to startle Yuan Bao'er, and he was a little uncomfortable and coughed dryly.

There was a rush of footsteps on the side, and several officials rushed to the front, and when they saw the two of them, they shouted loudly.

"Where do you come from to get the people, don't come down quickly."

With that, several people rushed upward.

Zhang Mao sneered, "Where is the county?" ”

The officials were about to make a move, and when they heard the question, they saw that he had a fearless posture, and there was a vague sense of bad premonition.

Zhang Mao took out the big seal and slapped it on the desk.

The servants looked at each other, and one of them, who had the courage to take it and look at it, quickly put it down, knelt on the ground and shouted to his lordship.

The crowd hurriedly followed and knelt down.

Zhang Mao stood up slowly, looked around, and asked, "Where is the county?" ”

The official who knelt at the front said: "The old mother of the Cheng family in Bu County is sick, and he takes care of it at home, and he can't get out for a while. ”

Zhang Mao sneered.

"However, it is important to meet the adults, and the small ones are called by people."

As he spoke, he quickly rolled his eyes back.

Zhang Mao snorted and sat down slowly.

That official authority is estimated to be older than his own maternal ancestors.

Yuan Baoer raised her eyebrows and motioned for Zhang Dalang to follow the officials who went out to look for people.

Not long after, the county came in a hurry.

Looking at Bu Xuewen, who was worshipping the ground and asking for sin, Zhang Mao's expression was extremely cold.

Yuan Bao'er waited for a while, and Zhang Mao had to put up a shelf for a while, so he simply went out.

Zhang Dalang leaned over and said, "That family has a strong smell of Chinese medicine, and there are indeed patients." ”

Yuan Bao'er nodded, and said, "There is no one else at home?" ”

Zhang Dalang shook his head.

Yuan Bao'er's errand is to deal with the family here, how dark and ruthless these people are, she can't understand better.

She is an outsider, and she can't fight at all, so she must first find a local snake to help one or two.

The county leader has been re-elected here for three consecutive years, and he is the best candidate.

Yuan Bao'er called Cuixin and asked her to find some medicinal materials that she had brought over, and when Bu Xuewen was released by Zhang Mao, she asked Cuixin to follow out.

She entered the lobby and saw Zhang Mao going to the back hall, so she said, "Lord Zhang, I have asked someone to send your bags to the back hall, and I will go to the guest house to settle down." ”

Zhang Mao paused, glanced at Yuan Bao'er, and nodded slightly.

Yuan Bao'er smiled and stepped out of the door.

Zhang Dalang drove straight to the guest house, asked for a few rooms, and everyone settled down.

Early the next morning, Yuan Baoer came to the mansion.

Before he entered the door, he saw a solemn official guarding the gate.

Yuan Baoer thought about it for a while, and handed over the official document in a business-like manner.

The official knew Yuan Bao'er and knew that she had some friendship with her own adults, so he wanted to invite her to go in together.

Yuan Bao'er shook her head and arched her hand, "Please also help with it." ”

The official rolled his eyes half a circle and entered the lobby.

It didn't take long for him to come out and ask for someone.

Yuan Bao'er arched her hand and followed in.

Zhang Mao waited until Yuan Bao walked to the center of the hall and bowed his hand before putting down the official documents in his hand, "This mansion has been unattended for many days, and the official documents are piled up, so I have neglected Lord Yuan, please forgive me." ”

Yuan Bao'er smiled, "Official business is crucial, how can I blame it?" ”

Zhang Mao smiled, "I have already explained your matter to Bu Xiancheng, but he has been inconvenient at home these days." ”

"If Lord Yuan is in a hurry, I'll take you there first, okay?"

"It's hard work," Yuan Bao'er arched her hand.

Zhang Mao directly assigned the official who had just delivered the official document and asked him to lead the way.

Yuan Bao'er followed him out of the palace, and the official said: "This place is surrounded by water on three sides, and the fields are only some in the south, but most of them are mountains and forests. ”

"It's good to count the acres of land."

Yuan Bao'er smiled, "How are these mountains and forests counted?" ”

"It's all bought by a few big families here."

"How much does the government account for?"

The official shook his head.

"What about the fertile land?"

The official thought for a moment, "Almost two or three percent?" ”

They usually take care of the errand and receive the moon service, and such things are all the county's worries.

Yuan Bao'er understood and asked the official to take her to find divination and learn literature.

When I arrived at Bu's house, there was a strong smell of medicine.

Seeing Yuan Bao'er come to the door, Bu Xuewen was a little surprised, "Lord Yuan." ”

He bowed.

Yuan Bao'er smiled, motioned to Cuixin to hand over the pastries she bought, and said, "I have something I want to ask my lord, I don't know if it's convenient?" ”

"Naturally," Bu Xuewen invited a few people in and let them go to the stone bench in the courtyard.

"If the adult has anything, just ask, the villain knows everything," Bu Xuewen was very grateful for Yuan Bao'er's intentions, and said softly.

"I want to know about the fields in the county, how much do you know?"

Bu Xuewen was silent for a while, "Dare to ask if this matter is something that adults want to know, or does Lord Zhang want to ask?" ”

"Naturally, it's me," Yuan Bao'er said, "The county should know why I'm here, why did you still ask Lord Zhang?" ”

Bu Xuewen smiled and didn't answer, "The weather has been hot for the past two days, so it's not appropriate to go to the field to measure." ”

"Fortunately, Hongyuan relies on water, and there are some products that are not available elsewhere, so adults may wish to take advantage of their free time to walk around."

Yuan Bao'er looked at him and smiled and arched her hand.

There was a rapid coughing sound in the room.

Bu Xuewen couldn't sit still when he heard it.

Yuan Baoer invited him to take care of himself and left.

Walking in the market, Yuan Baoer walked slowly along the market.

Not to mention, the street market in Hongyuan County is still very lively, and the sound of hawking comes and goes.
