Chapter 164: A private interview with the old man

On this day, a man dressed in a fancy dress and wearing a hat took two of his subordinates to Zhuwo Village.

Because from time to time, wealthy businessmen went to the cornucopia company, and the villagers were already surprised, and did not attract anyone's extra attention.

The man in the hat did not go to the cornucopia company, but walked up the field along the path, and nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the vibrant rice seedlings.

It just so happened that an old farmer passed by him with a bucket of water at this time.

The man in the hat asked aloud: "Old man, may I ask if you have rice planted in the field here?" ”

The old man was out of breath when he was tired of carrying water all day long, and he had the heart to answer a stranger: "Then what's not." ”

The man in the hat was not angry, and ordered the person next to him to take the flat burden in the old peasant's hand, and asked again: "Where is the old man's field, let's talk while walking." ”

The old farmer who had unloaded his burden had a mental conversation: "You can walk all the way along this road, but it is not easy to see this master's gorgeous clothes and recognize the rice seedlings." ”

"It's just a coincidence," the hat man paused and said, "We don't seem to be suitable for growing rice here, aren't you still planting rice for nothing?" ”

The old farmer explained with a smile: "What you said in the first half of the sentence is correct, but the second half of the sentence is not right, this rice is provided by our Mr. Su, you look at how good it grows, how can it be in vain." ”

The old farmer casually pointed to the rice seedlings in the family's field, and continued: "Our Mr. Su also said that rice should be raised before planting rice, you see that the rice seedlings from the rice grow vigorously, I have never seen such a good one in the field I have planted for decades, and it is estimated that the harvest will not be bad." ”

The man in the hat nodded: "Hearing you say this, it does look different, and I am a little curious about who Su is?" Can you solve the puzzle below? ”

The old farmer had no burden on him, so he resumed his chattering appearance and began to chatter: "You don't even know that Mr. Su still came to our Zhuwo Village?" Mr. Su is amazing, you look at the ditch next to it, it was also dug by Mr. Su, and it rained in the rainy season, so we don't have to work hard to carry water, and there are ......"

The man in the hat asked a few more questions one after another, and walked towards the cornucopia company with satisfaction.

After walking for a quarter of an hour to the outside of the cornucopia company, the man in the hat walked straight towards the company.

Uncle Ge, who was leisurely drinking tea, heard footsteps, raised his eyes to see three unfamiliar faces, and hurriedly asked, "What are you doing?" ”

The subordinate behind the man in the hat said, "Let's visit Mr. Su." ”

Uncle Ge was discerning, and at a glance he felt that the man in the hat was either rich or expensive, and he couldn't be offended, so he said respectfully: "Master, please wait, I'll go and inform Mr. Su." ”

"Please also trouble the uncle to help me pass on a message, and tell Mr. Su that a sentence of five hundred taels is enough," the hat shook his fan and looked around after saying this.

I was even more satisfied.

Su Baiya heard Uncle Ge report five hundred taels of silver, and she had a guess in her heart, so she immediately put down the matter at hand, and hurriedly arrived at the door of the company to take a look, it was really a county!

"Know ....."

Zhixian smiled and interrupted Su Baiya's words: "It's okay to call me Master Zhi." ”

"What kind of wind is this that brought Master Zhi out, please inside."

Su Baiya secretly said in her heart, the official is not very big, but he is full of style, and he also came to conduct a private interview with Weifu.

When I arrived at the office, I ordered Xiao Tao to serve the best flower tea.

Since the magistrate didn't want to reveal his identity, Su Baiya went as usual and asked with a smile: "What did the old man do when he came to Zhuwo Village this time?" ”

Zhixian took a sip of tea, nodded slightly, and then said: "I have received the exact news, your father's position is stable, and the letter of appointment should be issued soon." ”

"I'm bothered by Master Laozhi."

Su Baiya was not surprised by this news, after all, it had cost a lot of money in the first place!

Zhixian was slightly surprised, she investigated the three generations of the Su family, all of whom were farmers who did their duty, and they didn't even have a businessman.

Su Baiya and Su Boss are a little more brilliant.

Such an ordinary family can no longer be ordinary, shouldn't an official man with an eight-grade official in the family be ecstatic, shouldn't he be dancing?

And Su Baiya, a girl less than twenty years old, did not show a pair of nervous or chaotic looks when facing the magistrate.

I always feel that the little Su family is not as simple as he imagined, could it be that something went wrong?

After thinking about it, there was no result.

So he repeated again: "Your father will be the county leader of our county from now on, and he will no longer be the acting county leader." ”

Su Baiya tasted this slightly, and her intuition told her that she was hinting at something, so she instructed Xiao Tao to go to the finance room and get a hundred taels of silver.

"I know that the old man has bothered a lot about this, and a little care is not a respect."

The corners of Zhixian's mouth twitched, what he said.

Although he promised Su Baiya to recommend Boss Su in a book, he felt that there was little hope.

After all, he is a small magistrate with such a big face, and he is also worried that the people above feel that his selfishness has affected his future, so he has been thinking about the perfect wording.

This delay dragged on until the end of the year! Then I received the news that the top was intent on appointing Boss Su as the county leader.

At the end of the day, he didn't do anything.

In my heart, I felt that the Su family was not as simple as it seemed, otherwise how could Boss Su have the general's post, and why could he be quietly promoted to the county in a few months.

Why can Su Baiya, a peasant girl, be calm when she meets one of her parents.

"Then I might as well be respectful," the magistrate smiled and said, "Do a good job, there has been a famine in the south recently, and the court is worried about this matter, if your rice is really as powerful as originally described, maybe it will be an opportunity for you or your father." ”

Of course, it is also an opportunity for him, and whether he can move his position is probably a move here.

Su Baiya listened to the meaning of the words in Zhixian's words, and probably understood the meaning.

"Don't worry, Lord Zhixian, I will do my best and will not let you down."

The magistrate nodded with satisfaction: "If you encounter any trouble, just come to me, by the way, when you were repairing the canal some time ago, did the village chief of your village have any opinions?" ”

Su Baiya was shocked, it seemed that the magistrate had been secretly paying attention to the affairs in the village.

"I can't talk about opinions, it's just that the village chief has delayed the construction of the canal a little bit for the sake of safety."

Zhixian nodded: "The village chief of your village is Zhang..."

Su Baiya took over: "Zhang Yangping." ”

"Zhang Yangping" Zhixian repeated softly, and looked at the sky outside through the window, "I told you everything I had to say, and there are still things to deal with at the yamen, so I won't leave much left." ”

Su Baiya hurriedly invited: "It's almost noon, no matter how busy the old man is, he can't wronged his body, so it's better to have a light meal before leaving, and I will order the canteen to prepare delicious dishes." ”
