Chapter 100: Submit the letter to the county magistrate
was so troubled by Lin Liandie.
Where is Lin Yicheng still in the mood to meet guests.
After hastily finishing the ceremony, he locked himself in his study and refused to be disturbed by anyone.
Therefore, Yi Mingxue missed the opportunity to discuss the matter of carriages and horses with Lin Yicheng.
Lin Pianwu looked at Yi Mingxue apologetically.
Guiltily, he said, "You helped me so much today, but I couldn't even do what I promised you." ”
Yi Mingxue saw that she looked tired, and she didn't forget her own business.
I was quite moved in my heart, and I couldn't bear to force it.
"That's it, I'll have a chance to ask Lord Yicheng for instructions in the future."
Lin Pianwu bit her lip lightly and said suddenly.
"Well, tell my brother about this first! After my father is discouraged, I will let my brother consult with my father. ”
Lin Pianwu's eldest brother, Lin Jinghong, is currently working as a deputy for his father.
Lin Pianwu thought that her brother would definitely help Yi Mingxue.
However, Yi Mingxue felt that this kind of possibility was just wishful thinking on her part.
Although she had only dealt with Lin Jinghong in a few words.
But she could clearly feel that the other party didn't like her very much.
Even, with a hint of alienation and defensiveness.
Yi Mingxue's heart is like a mirror.
But she couldn't bear to brush Lin Pianwu's kindness.
In the end, he concisely told Lin Jinghong his thoughts.
As expected.
The man didn't take her words seriously.
It's just that she helped Lin Pianwu just now.
Out of politeness, I had to accept it.
"Then thank you Lord Lin."
Yi Mingxue thanked her mouth, and her right hand touched the love letter that had been prepared in her sleeve a long time ago.
In the end, it was decided not to take it out.
When he left the Lin family, it was already Shen Shi.
Yi Mingxue pondered, tomorrow she will go to the "Yuehua Tower" to squat for a day.
Or simply knock on the door of the county lord's house.
However, it is also a coincidence.
As soon as she left the Lin family, she collided with a small blue sedan chair.
Zhu Huanpei poked his head out of the sedan chair.
After looking her up and down a few times.
said, "You have a good relationship with Lin Pianwu?" ”
Yi Mingxue didn't understand what the other party meant.
Said cautiously, "Miss Zhu is in trouble?" ”
Zhu Huanpei had a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold.
"Today, you helped Lin Pianwu, and it can be regarded as helping my Zhu family avoid a disaster that became the laughing stock of others. I remember this feeling. ”
After that, he had to get up and leave.
Yi Mingxue's eyelids blinked.
What a great opportunity, it's like God helping her!
She's not polite either.
Immediately, with his right hand, he opened the sedan curtain that Zhu Huanpei was about to close.
"Miss Zhu, what's the point of just talking about repaying your kindness, it's better to cash in now."
Zhu Huanpei: "......"
She didn't look down on these women from small families.
It's just out of courtesy, lift her up.
Who would have thought that Yi Mingxue was such a shallow-eyed person.
Zhu Huanpei's face became a little ugly on the spot.
But if you just say it, it's not good to regret it immediately.
I had to suppress my temper and grit my teeth and say to the maid.
"Go and fetch her five taels of silver."
"No, I don't want silver." Yi Mingxue hurriedly stopped the maid and got straight to the point.
"I have something that I want to present to the prefect. I don't know if Miss Zhu can make it convenient? ”
Zhu Huanpei's face was pale, and he wondered if he had heard it wrong.
"What did you say?"
Such a peasant village girl of unknown origin actually came up to see her father?
Her father is the head of a county.
Usually there are many opportunities and busy with official business.
Even her own daughter, she can't just see her.
Zhu Huanpei was almost laughed at angrily, and his voice became more and more cold.
"I advise you to get acquainted, take the money and leave. My father is an official of the imperial court, how can he just come and see someone who can meet him? ”
Yi Mingxue didn't mind Zhu Huanpei's attitude.
After all, he didn't plan to make friends with her.
And she saw it clearly.
This Zhu Huanpei relies on his good background.
In Huzhou County, she is an official lady who is held by everyone.
Natural eyes grow on the top of the head.
It's a high-minded posture for everyone.
It's not for her Yi Mingxue alone.
Besides, as long as she can help me hand over the letter to the prefect by myself.
What is it to speak coldly?
As a result, Yi Mingxue's face remained unchanged.
took out the letter from his sleeve and intended to hand it to Lin Yicheng.
He said, "Fang is my abruptness!" If I can't present it to the prefect in person, I wonder if Miss Zhu can help me forward this love letter on my behalf? ”
Zhu Huanpei saw that Yi Mingxue was still a little eye-catching.
Only then did his complexion soften a little.
She didn't immediately take the envelope from Yi Mingxue's hand.
Instead, he glanced at Yi Mingxue with the tail of his eyes and asked, "What is the content of the letter?" ”
Yi Mingxue simply tore open the envelope.
took out the letter inside, unfolded it, and handed it to Zhu Huanpei.
"It's just a little bit of road administration, and it's not something unseemly. If Miss Zhu is not at ease, she can read it before making a decision. ”
Zhu Huanpei glanced at it disinterestedly, and after making sure that it was not something unsightly.
That's when I took her letter.
"Okay, my Zhu family has always been true to their words. Today, since I have accepted your affection, I will help you with this. But you have to remember that in this way, you and my Zhu family will be clear, and you will be self-respecting in the future. ”
After that, Zhu Huanpei didn't stay any longer.
I got up directly and left.
Yi Mingxue stood in place, watching Zhu Huanpei's sedan chair leave.
I couldn't help but sigh for a while.
I've been wearing it myself for months.
This is the first time I have come into contact with a real official lady.
In ancient times, the power of county officials was very great.
Especially in counties like Huzhou County, which are far away from the imperial capital.
The county magistrate not only controls the local finances, but can even hoard thousands of county soldiers.
Some wealthy county officials are not an exaggeration to say that they are the emperors of the soil.
And the family members of the county magistrate, when facing a civilian class like her.
That top-down sense of superiority and class estrangement.
It made Yi Mingxue's heart feel a little cold.
This strengthened her determination to change the status quo.
It's not just about solving the problem of food and clothing.
To survive in such a harsh feudal system.
She and her carrots.
You have to be tough enough.
……
Although the process is a little more bizarre and twisty.
But after all, the purpose of her trip to the county seat was achieved.
As long as her love letter can be delivered to the prefect smoothly.
She believes that unless this Lord Zhu does not want political achievements, he will not ignore it.
Next, she just has to be patient.
Before returning to Qiyang Town, Yi Mingxue also went to the county's money village.
The three hundred taels of silver tickets that Yi had earned before were exchanged for some gold and some silver.
This was the lesson she had learned during the cataclysm in her previous life.
The world is not chaotic, the money bank can operate normally, and the silver ticket is naturally foolproof.
But if there is a real war.
As soon as the money bank goes wrong, this silver ticket is a piece of waste paper.
It's better to exchange it for real money.
In order not to arouse suspicion.
She also deliberately found a pair of flat poles.
I'm going to make a show, pick out the money out of the bank, and then find an opportunity to put it in the space.
But she just came out of the back door of the bank.
I noticed two sneaky breaths.
She's ......
Stalked?
