Chapter 34: Surprise

After recognizing her relationship with the Sun family, Qingyun obviously felt the change in the attitude of the people in the village towards her.

People in the world are more icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow. However, she is not an arrogant person, she can recognize the faces of some people, get by on the big side, and she doesn't care about others.

Liu Wang's family has been around the riverside for the past few days, not like before to fly and scold her, several times by Zi Ling, but just with her tail between her legs and quickly slip away, Zi Ling didn't know how many rolls of her eyes, after Qingyun knew, she just smiled faintly, judging from the words of the shopkeeper Li, the Liu family has gone, as long as the Wang family does not find fault, she will also turn a blind eye.

Recently, her sauce meat business is getting better and better, and she has added several flavors and varieties, and there is an endless stream of people who come to pick up the goods every day, and she has become one of the top households in Liujia Village.

Since handing over everything to Steward Cheng, Qingyun is also happy to be idle, counting silver every day, doing some embroidery work, reading books, and teaching Doubao to read and hyphenate.

Cheng steward, who went to the city to settle the bill on this day, handed over a message to see Qingyun as soon as he came back.

"What's the matter with Steward Cheng?" Seeing his solemn expression, Qingyun couldn't help but be suspicious.

"Madame told me to pay attention to the movements in the city, today the county government has a new county order, and the shopkeepers of some businesses in the city are talking about it......"

After a pause, Steward Cheng looked at Qingyun's face cautiously.

Qingyun smiled, "Steward Cheng just says, I'll just listen." ”

"Everyone talks about it the most, I'm afraid that this one will also eat and take cards like Liu Changchun, and want to have a banquet for the new county order in Fumanlou, and every shopkeeper with a head and face will go."

"It's time to congratulate the new official on taking office, and this matter will be handled by Manager Cheng."

Coming out of the main house, Steward Cheng sighed, on the way back, he was worried that Song Qingyun was short-sighted and did not agree with this kind of thing of seeking skin with the tiger, and when the time came, he would inevitably take some trouble to guide him seriously. Now it seems that he really underestimated her, and without even asking a superfluous word, he directly handed over the power to himself.

On the third day, when the steward came back, he saw the light clouds in the courtyard, and he hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Madam, I'm afraid I want you to go to the yamen in person tomorrow." ”

Qingyun couldn't help frowning when he heard this, "Why is this?" ”

"The county order sent a post to various shops, to hold a banquet in the Green Water Pavilion, please speak freely, I'm afraid you have to ask about some things on the books."

"You still have to come forward, it's inconvenient for me to be a woman!"

"That being said, but the county magistrate named you by name, so you might as well go."

Song Qingyun was depressed, her reputation had already attracted the attention of the county magistrate, and it was not a good thing in her opinion.

"Okay, tomorrow I'll go into the city with Steward Cheng."

When you meet, you should always know what the county master thinks, she doesn't steal, she doesn't rob, she doesn't evade taxes, and there's nothing to be afraid of being open.

The next day, I entrusted Doubao to Guo's mother, and she was going to take Ziling with her.

Before leaving, Qingyun kissed the pro-bean treasure, this kid has been thinking about how to decompose it all day since he got the copper ball given by Suyi.

He was only one year old, and he was so calm that he could sit and stare at the copper ball for a long time, and no one could disturb him, and this heart surprised Qingyun too.

"Dou Bao is good, my mother went to the city to see the county magistrate, you guarded the house for your mother, you know?"

Whether he understood it or not, Qingyun insisted on talking to him, and the kid raised his fat little hand and waved, and his eyes returned to the copper ball.

"Madame, just put a hundred hearts, the little master is well-behaved and sensible, I will follow the recipe you gave to let the kitchen cook food for the little master."

Sun Maoyuan sent her a carriage with a carriage, and for this purpose built a stable outside the west wall, and asked the lame Zhang to come over to take care of it, and by the way, take care of the workshop at night.

Knowing that Qingyun was going out, the lame Zhang fed the horse early and waited at the door with the reins.

"Miss, we don't have to wear a veil when we go out in the future." Zi Ling happily helped Qingyun to get on the car, the carriage was spacious, covered with thick cushions, and she couldn't feel the bumps at all.

It is the beginning of the city to arrive, the Green Water Pavilion is built on the edge of the county government, it is a naturally formed lake, which is full of lotus flowers, and it is said that the scenery is pleasant.

Tang Xiuzhi has been the county lady's wife for two years, and often holds some gatherings of the lady of the inner house here, and sometimes Liu Changchun will also be vassally elegant, inviting some colleagues to eat and drink, and the layout is particularly careful, separated by a water pavilion, divided into two different places, moving to change the scene, and have a unique charm.

At the gate, Qingyun and Steward Cheng separated, and under the guidance of a little maid, they came to a small pavilion near the water.

"Madame, please rest here, and if there is a need for slaves and maids, please do the bidding."

Qingyun nodded with a smile, it was the first time to participate in such a party, and she was also very nervous.

In less than a cup of tea, I suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside and the crisp sound of the jade pendant crashing.

"When did my sister arrive? Can anyone serve?"

Qingyun poked her head out and saw that it was Zhao, the daughter-in-law of her righteous brother Sun Quan.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here too?" Qingyun walked out quickly.

"Oh, this is really a strange thing, I also received an invitation from the county master, if it wasn't for your eldest brother reminding me, I wouldn't have thought you would come back."

The two entered the house hand in hand, and Zhao glanced back at the little girl standing at the door, and muttered in a low voice, "I heard that the new county order has no family members, is it possible for him to receive us personally?"

Qingyun was stunned, thought for a moment and said, "There is always a housekeeper mother, right?" ”

"Why don't you open your eyes? Xu felt that we were all smelling of copper, and sent someone to deal with us, thinking that it was decent. ”

Qingyun didn't dare to talk about it, this is the county master's landmark, who knows if the little girl standing at the door will spread the word? More is better than less, so he hurriedly pulled Zhao to sit down and admire the slim lotus flowers outside the window.

After drinking tea, little maids came in with food boxes one after another, asking where the two of them had placed the table.

Zhao couldn't help but ask, "You invited our two female guests today?"

The little girl blessed her body, and replied crisply, "My lord said that there is no female dependent in the family and neglected the two ladies, so that you two do not have to be restrained, just like in your own home, and ask the slaves and maids to serve wholeheartedly." ”

Zhao Shi looked at Qingyun and couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh, "In this case, we can't brush off the kindness of adults, just put the table under the window, smell the lotus fragrance, and let's do something elegant." ”

Ziling and the maid brought by the Zhao family were taken down, and the Zhao family also dived into Bucai's maid ring and said to her, "Ask the adults when they will see us, and give us a preparation." ”

After the little maid retreated, Qingyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the two of them had a quiet meal.

When the little maid came in to clean up the dishes, one of them walked to the north window, and after pushing it open, Qingyun and Zhao were both startled, they were only three zhang away from the place where the male guests were eating, because there was a wide lotus leaf in the middle, and the male guests could not see this side, but they could clearly see the man sitting on the top, wearing a brocade robe.

Qingyun rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and then turned back to the little maid and asked, "Who is the surname of the county commander?" Where's the people?"
