When the two came to the backyard of the county government, they separated, Li Bokang followed the person who brought them in before, and she was taken away by another maid. She followed the maid to a room that was supposed to be a guest room, and there was no one in it except one maid, and the maid who brought her took her to the guest room and left.

The one in the room made her a cup of tea and then stood aside without saying a word, and the two of them were quiet in the room as if she were alone. It wasn't long before there was a noise outside, and she looked out. The first thing I saw was the maid who had brought her here before, and the maid stood by the door to reveal the person behind her.

The person who came looked like she was in her twenties, and she didn't look very gorgeous in her clothes, but she knew that the fabric of her clothes was by no means ordinary, and looking at other temperaments, it was not an ordinary person's feeling. Sure enough, the maid who brought her before said, "Madam, this is it." Hearing her words, Yang Xue hurriedly stood up and walked to the door, and the maid on the side also walked out.

When the lady came to the room, the maid who went out with her saluted her, and cried out in a voice that was neither high nor low, "Madame." Yang Xue also wanted to salute, but she really didn't understand the etiquette here, so she directly bent over the lady slightly, not too deliberate, but also not unreasonable.

Then the maid next to the lady offered her a seat, and only after she sat down did she nod her head and let her get up. Even so, she won't feel any indignation, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and besides, she used to be a small citizen, this kind of thing is still understood. After getting up, the lady also asked her to take a seat, and the maid on the side introduced her and said, "Miss Yang, our lady is the wife of Lord Chen, the county commander. While bending down, he continued to introduce to Mrs. Chen: "Madam, this is the girl who came with Li Xiucai." ”

Mrs. Chen nodded after hearing this, and said, "This is Miss Yang, who has been famous for a long time." Hearing Mrs. Chen say this, she was still a little puzzled, but although she was puzzled, she couldn't afford to say this, so she stood up and said to Mrs. Chen: "What Mrs. said, I'm just a little village girl, and I can't afford Mrs.'s praise." Mrs. Chen didn't say anything when she saw her like that, but said, "Miss Yang sit, you don't need to stand up and talk, just sit and talk." ”

Then the two of them said a few more words, and then the outside came, thinking that the maid ran to the door, and looked anxiously into the house, and the maid inside saw it and walked to the door. After a while, he came back and whispered something in Mrs. Chen's ear, and then Mrs. Chen said, "I'm sorry Miss Yang, I left a little in advance, the girl should sit down for a while, and I will immediately ask the maid to serve the food to the girl." After speaking, she looked at her, and she said, "Madame, if you have something to do, go and get busy first, I'm fine." After speaking, he smiled sincerely.

It may be that Mrs. Chen was also a little satisfied, so she smiled slightly and left. Sure enough, a maid soon came up with a table of dishes, a total of five or six dishes, and she ate alone. When eating, there was still a maid standing next to her watching her eat, although there was a person who didn't feel comfortable watching her eat, but maybe she was really hungry, so she also ate quite deliciously.

To be honest, although it was not embarrassing to let others watch her eat, she really didn't want to say that she wanted to eat with her. Since she has come here, she has to abide by the rules here, everyone has their own identity and work, don't use your own ideas to add to others, sometimes it will bring trouble to others. And in fact, as long as you treat her as a waiter, it's good to perform your own duties.

After eating, there was no news of Li Bokang from there, and she was still a little worried, but she also knew that her worries were meaningless, so she waited in the living room. While drinking tea and waiting, occasionally knocking some melon seeds, it is still very pleasant to be a little worried about Li Bokang.

And Li Bokang here is not as worried as she fears, here they talk very well. There are four of them, one of them is the county magistrate Chen, the other is the son of the Chen lord named Chen Jun, and the other is the master of the county government and himself.

Speaking of which, Lord Chen's son, Chen Jun, is also the same year that they took the exam together this year, and he is also the eleventh in the first place in the county this time, and his ranking is much better than him. At the beginning, it was Lord Chen and they talked together, and Lord Chen also told him about the treatment of his life. In fact, it is almost the same as what they heard before, that is, fifty acres of tax exemption plus three taels of silver per month, that's it.

After that, he said something else, asking him where he used to be, where he was taught by the gentleman and the like, and where he lived. He didn't hide it, even if he hid it, people could still find out, so it was better to say it generously, and just pick up some of what he could say and tell them.

Later, they were surprised to hear that he had come from Jiangcheng alone a few years ago, and that he had been rescued when he was seriously ill, and that he had been sent to the scientific expedition even more recently. Li Bokang said relatively carefully about this matter, in fact, he didn't say anything, just said: When he came over, he was rescued by Yang Xue, and it was the girl who came with him today. Then she spent a lot of money to treat him, and later sent him there, and the situation in her family was not very good, only one person, and he was still a child when he was rescued.

Several people present could hear his gratitude to that Miss Yang, and Master Chen and his master could vaguely hear that he had some different feelings for that Miss Yang. But they didn't say it thoroughly, and to be honest, they were also a little curious about that Yang girl, and they had a little admiration. And the other Chen Jun is sixteen years old this year, although he is also a little enlightened, but he hasn't heard it yet.

After Li Bokang finished saying this, he took advantage of this momentum and mentioned to Lord Chen that they wanted to buy a mountain, and he also told Lord Chen that they lived on the mountain. At first, Lord Chen heard that he was going to buy a mountain, but when he heard him say which mountain they were going to buy, his expression was a little surprised.

After listening to Li Bokang's words, he didn't speak for a long time, and the master Chen Jun on the side also stopped talking. Although they had only been here for a few years, they had heard about the mountain, and they were surprised to hear it, so they all looked at Li Bokang and then at Master Chen.

After a long time, Master Chen said to him, "Do you know about that mountain? "Yes, we've inquired." Li Bokang replied. "Aren't you afraid, then?" Master Chen asked again. "Nothing to be afraid of, and we haven't seen anything happen in the years we've lived on that mountain." Li Bokang replied again.
