Chapter Seventy-Three: Into Shiya Village
After lunch, the messenger who received the news also came, a total of ten people, led by the entourage of Wen County Order, waiting in a carriage outside the village.
In this life, Shan Tao has only sat in the Sun family's ox cart, and has never sat in a carriage, so he is used to the slow pace of the ox, and the carriage is a little uncomfortable with the bumps.
sat with a look of sorrow leaning on Du Yingqiu, and there was Sun Jishuang who had to squeeze together, and Uncle Sun, who was worried that Sun Jishuang would cause trouble to everyone.
Different from the last visit in plainclothes, this time the Wenxian Commander put on a full posture, the mountain road is rugged, and there is only one sheep intestine trail in Shangshiya Village, so one person is left to guard the carriage, and the rest go up on foot.
Wen County, who had changed into his official uniform in advance, had just appeared, and some villagers in the village ran to invite the village chief.
"I don't know if the official is driving, and I will miss the distance." The village chief of Shiya Village was in the prime of life, looking at a powerful man, and smiling with pure enthusiasm and enthusiasm, "I don't know which official it is?" ”
"This is the new county order of Cangjiang County, the county order of Wen." The messenger separated the overly enthusiastic village chief and said coldly: "Why don't you entertain soon?" ”
The village chief nodded and greeted the people at his home, and it can be seen all the way that Shiya Village is not as rich as Qingshan Village, and the village chief's house is not as good as half of Qingshan Village.
Because of the menacing situation, many villagers came forward to watch the excitement, but without exception they were all men or young children, and not a single woman showed up.
"What for? Didn't you see any guests, your hands and feet are sharp! As soon as he entered the door, the village chief scolded a woman in coarse linen clothes.
The woman has a plump figure and a good face, and it is rare that she has a bookish air all over her body, which makes Shan Tao feel like a godmother for the first time.
Looking at these people, the woman didn't react, only lowered her eyebrows and poured tea, and then retreated into the house, her eyes like a pool of stagnant water.
"That's your lady?" Wen Xian Ling showed a smile that was not enthusiastic but not unkind, and the mountain peach he was already familiar with knew at first sight that this smile was calculation and suspicion.
But the village chief obviously didn't think so, and was even a little proud, "It's my daughter-in-law, although the work is poor, but she is also the most handsome one in our village, and she gave birth to five babies for me, all of them are beautiful." ”
"Five? Look at your wife's age? Du Yingqiu saw at a glance that the woman was no more than in her early twenties, and if she gave birth to five, wouldn't she have her first child at the age of fifteen or six.
The village chief saw that it was a beautiful woman who was questioned, and there was a trace of contempt in his eyes, but he estimated that the status of following the county order was not low, so he said casually: "Just buy another one when you are older." Speaking of which, the fact that these old bachelors in our village can marry a daughter-in-law is thanks to the kindness of the officials. ”
As he spoke, the village chief took out a money bag, looking at the heavy weight, it was definitely not light, and he was pushed in front of Wen County Ling with a sneer, "We are in this place, I don't know the change of the official, I knew that I should have made up for this filial piety, and I will trouble the official to take care of it in the future......"
These days, Shiya Village's Diwen County Ling and Shan Erlang have also touched it all over, if it is said that the government can't control it by spending a high price to marry a bride price, then these women who are bought from unknown sources can be convicted.
Wen Xian Ling didn't touch the greasy money bag, but took out a startling wood from his arms and slapped it on the table with a bang, which made the village chief startled.
"These are the old rules, the new official takes office, so naturally he should talk about my new rules, village chief, let's calculate this comparison."
