Chapter 291: Country Beauty
Under the scorching sun, Li Xianling's interest was very high, and he talked and laughed endlessly with Li Gengtian, constantly picking up fields, crops, mountains, forests and ponds, and loving the people like a child. But Li Gengtian only had anxiety and panic in his heart, which was completely opposite to the previous Hu County Commander's praise for him, and he couldn't sleep at night when he was excited.
After thinking about the words, he smiled cautiously: "The people of our Qingnan Village have only recovered in the past two years, and they couldn't even eat enough in the past few years. β
Zheng Changhe on the side felt very uncomfortable - how poor his family was before-so he wanted to step forward and talk to the county master, but he was grabbed by Zhang Dazhuo, and warned him not to be impulsive with his eyes, and looked at Aoki and Zhang Huai, signaling that there is a son in everything, we can't speak, or don't make trouble for them, so he endured the conversation aggrievedly.
Li Xianling sneered, ignored Li Gengtian's words, turned around and asked, "Who is Zheng Qingmu?" β
Aoki hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "The villain is Zheng Aoki." β
Li Xianling looked him up and down for a while before nodding and saying, "Yes, it's a talent." Well, now you're in charge of a sausage workshop? β
Aoki said in a deep voice, "Yes, my lord." However, it is the off-season, and the shop is closed, and it will not start until the autumn. β
Li Xianling nodded and said, "Since you're here, let's go and have a look." I am glad that you can continue to improve yourself and find another way. If all the villages in Qinghui can be like you, then it will be easy for me to be the county commander. β
Aoki said: "That's what the prefectural magistrate said. But we are foolish people in the countryside, and our knowledge is shallow, just to work together, and this workshop is very chaotic, or it will not be a big mile, but I am afraid that the adults will laugh at it. β
Li Xianling smiled: "Let's go and see!" β
So the group went to the sausage workshop. The workshop was really closed, and only Uncle Lin was guarding the door at this time.
Aoki and the others accompanied Li Xianling around the workshop, but they didn't see what the county commander ordered, and they wondered in their hearts, and they couldn't open their mouths to ask each other, wishing that he couldn't look down on this workshop, so he left.
Out of the workshop, Li Xianling and the others returned to the front of the Zheng family, and said to Aoki happily: "The official of Steward Zheng wants to go in and ask for a glass of water to drink, I don't know if it's okay?" β
Aoki's heart sank, but his mouth hurriedly responded: "The adults come to the cold house, and the whole family of the villain is happy." I'm afraid of a small family, it's very dirty, and it makes adults laugh. β
Li Xian ordered Liandao to be fine, and took people into the Zheng family's compound Aoki and Zhang Huai glanced at each other worriedly, and helplessly followed up to greet them.
When the two dogs of the Zheng family saw so many people coming, they immediately barked at them in an earth-shattering manner.
Aoki hurriedly stopped, led Li Xianling and his party into the hall, let them sit down on the top of the square table, and saluted and served tea again.
Li County Ling looked around casually, in a very good mood, laughed with Li Gengtian and praised Zheng Changhe for his son's success, and Zheng Changhe was dizzy with beautiful words, and smirked: "The county master can't afford to praise us." But my son is better than me anyway. Although our family can live a good life and eat enough, we are also very tired, and we all rely on him to run the house. β
Li Xian Ling waved his hand again and again: "If you have such a son, you should enjoy happiness at home, let their juniors do it, this is also their filial piety." β
Zheng Changhe's eyes widened and said, "Then what's the matter?" We bought dozens of acres of land, and if we didn't plant them carefully, we wouldn't have been able to pay taxes alone. County master, you don't know, one acre of land can't harvest much grain, mainly because there is no fertilizer. However, there are a few pigs at home, and the pig can be saved to be useful. The pig can also eat miles, and it should be mixed with some corn stalks and soybean stalks. It's not easy! I got up early in the morning and worked in the fields in the dark......"
Zheng Changhe saw that this county order actually asked him to farm and live, and immediately opened the conversation box, and talked endlessly about farming and feeding pigs - he likes to tell people this the most, and he will always only calculate the account of his own farming, and never include the money earned by chrysanthemums and Aoki into the scope of daily income and expenditure, as if he should spend it indiscriminately, so, in his mouth, the days of this kind of field are so bitter, and because he was born with a simple appearance, he shows sincere feelings!
Li Xianling was embarrassed, looked at this man in his forties, looked sincere, not like he was lying, he coughed and said: "You have such a capable son, I heard that you have married a capable daughter-in-law, why worry about it?" Well? Why don't you see the rest of your family? β
Immediately, an entourage shouted: "The county magistrates have come to the door, why don't you come to visit?" β
Aoki became more and more uneasy, and stepped forward to explain: "We croppers are vulgar and don't know how to be polite, and we are afraid of colliding with adults; Besides, the mothers-in-law had never seen the world, so they were shocked, and they didn't dare to ask them to come out and surprise the nobles. β
Li Xianling smiled: "You are too modest, I heard that you married the most beautiful beauty in these ten miles and eight towns, how can you say that she is vulgar?" The other one is also your mother, and you shouldn't say that she is. β
The attendant glared and said, "Why don't you call out to meet your lord?" β
Aoki's pretense and reverence that had been held on until now finally collapsed, and he clenched his fists angrily, bowing his head silently, except for his shoulders shaking, apparently trying to suppress his anger.
Li Changyu and Zhang Huai also suddenly realized, no wonder this dog official couldn't linger, they thought that he coveted the workshop, and the original purpose was here. Well, I'm afraid it's also playing with the workshop idea.
Both were as angry as Aoki.
As soon as Zhang Huai saw Aoki's appearance, he knew that something bad was going to happen, so he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his arm, pinched it hard, hinting that he should not be impulsive, and said to the county order with a smile: "My lord, in our countryside, generally male guests come, and daughters-in-law are not enough to meet guests in the hall; Honorable guests like adults should not be allowed to come out and disturb them......"
Zheng Changhe asked in surprise: "When the man is a guest, what are the mothers-in-law stirring up?" β
Li Gengtian also nodded in agreement.
Before he could finish speaking, he heard the attendant shout, "Who wants them to be a guest?" It's to meet the prefectural magistrate. Don't you deserve to be there? β
When Li Xianling saw the gods of Zheng Changhe's father and son, he became more and more unhappy, his face sank, and he stared at them coldly.
Zhang Huai was very anxious, and pinched Aoki's arm again, Aoki slowly raised his head, he had calmed down at this time, and reluctantly said to Li County: "Then the villain will call them to see the adults." Mother, Yun Lanβ" he shouted outside.
I heard an answer from the direction of the kitchen, and his voice was crisp and loud: "Aoki, what's the matter?" I'm about to cook. β
Aoki hurriedly shouted, "Why don't you come and meet the prefectural magistrate, the meal will be burned again." β
There was no sound in the kitchen, and soon there was footsteps outside.
Li Xianling couldn't wait to raise his eyes and saw a daughter-in-law in her forties and a young daughter-in-law in her early twenties walking into the hall.
The young daughter-in-law's big eyes are very bright, and her facial features are also chic, but her skin is a little dark, and she thinks it was spring ploughing; She wore a colorful dress and pants, held a slightly convex belly, walked in with her legs crossed, and held a long tender cucumber in her hand, nibbling as she walked.
Li Xian Ling judged in his heart, this woman is beautiful, she is too Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Ugly! It was a little strange for him to come to such a contradictory conclusion.
Aoki led his mother and daughter-in-law to meet the prefectural magistrate and kowtow to the prefectural magistrate.
The Yang family pulled Liu Yunlan and honestly kowtowed to Li Xianling. Liu Yunlan supported the ground with both hands, and the cucumber inevitably touched the ground, she didn't care at all, and when Li Xianling screamed, she hurriedly got up, and the first thing was to open her mouth, bite a big mouthful of cucumber, and chew hard, seeing that Li Xianling frowned.
He just wanted to speak, but when Liu Yunlan turned around and saw Li Gengtian, he couldn't help but shout: "Ouch! The pro (village) chief is also there? I'm looking for you. You Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
She wrapped too many cucumbers in her mouth, and she didn't rush to chew and swallow it for a while, and her speech was a little slurred, and she was anxious to speak, so she chewed vigorously and swallowed it, and the cheeks were bulging, thinking that the content was too much, and it was inevitable that some could not wrap it, and a yellow-green cucumber juice flowed down the corners of her mouth and flowed to the placket on her chest, and she didn't care.
Finally swallowed the cucumber in her mouth, Liu Yunlan wiped the water stains on the corner of her mouth with her hand-no matter that there was still stove ash on her hands, bringing out a stain at the corner of her mouth--her voice was raised a lot, and said to Li Gengtian: "Village Chief, my family is working in the workshop alone, just take so much wages, if you want to say that this sausage is still made by my family first, so it is better for us to make it ourselves-" She suddenly turned her head and patted Yang's hand away from her back, and said dissatisfiedly-"Mother, what are you doing with me?" Am I not right? You and your father are too honest, and Aoki is too honest, but fortunately I got married..."
Aoki glanced at everyone in embarrassment and scolded her, "What do you know? Sensei is talking nonsense here. β
Liu Yunlan bit another piece of cucumber - this bite is a little smaller - and talked while eating, spraying the cucumber juice everywhere: "Why don't I understand?" I see that you are tired and unflattering to be the manager, the most important thing is that you have little money, and you were wronged last time. When I don't know? Village Chief, do you say that? β
Li Gengtian was also dumbfounded, he didn't expect Liu Yunlan to settle accounts with him like this, and what she said was also very reasonable, so he was a little embarrassed, and said helplessly: "Aoki daughter-in-law, this matter is discussed by everyone......
Liu Yunlan immediately shouted, waving her arms, holding the cucumber high with one hand, and said with some anger: "Everyone discuss? Then you can't bully our Zheng Jiali like this! It just so happened that the county official was also there, so let the old man comment on it and tell me how much salary should my Aoki get? The eldest lord can't favor the village chief, I know that there is a man in his family, so he can't bully our people! β
She was really furious, her eyes were terribly wide and terrifying!
Why? Hate!
That anger was all caused by Li County's order-this dog official really came to the door, and he didn't have to see her-attached such an imaginary enemy to Li Gengtian's body, of course, he wanted to bite off a piece of his meat, and there was no need to disguise it at all.
