Chapter 65: It made him more and more ashamed
Although she still lives in the village, this has made Yan Jiao feel a feeling, "rich in the mountains have distant relatives", since the people in the village learned that An Nanzhi made the county order, they have been much more respectful to her, and they called her a county order lady, and in the past few days, there are even some more relatives in the family who can't beat the eight poles, of course, I don't know how many generations have passed, An Nanzhi naturally won't recognize this kind of relative that he doesn't know, and Yan Jiao won't be so enthusiastic.
"Miss, what do you think of this uncle? Why haven't you moved to town yet? I've heard from others that the county magistrate usually lives in a big mansion in the town, and there are maidservants and servants around him, so why do we still live in this village? ”
On this day, after An Nanzhi came back from the yamen, he was just about to enter the courtyard, when he heard Qingqing's complaint from the courtyard, and he stopped immediately.
Thinking that he didn't plan to move because of his own selfishness, I don't blame Qingqing for saying this, but I'm afraid that Yan Jiao also blames him in her heart.
Just when he felt guilty in his heart, Yan Jiao's voice came from the courtyard.
"You girl, how typical you can only enjoy happiness and not endure hardship! Your uncle is a righteous man and a gentleman, unlike other people's county orders to fill their own pockets, and he refuses to accept bribes from others, where can he buy a big mansion for his little money, and besides, it doesn't cost money to buy those servants and maids? ”
Qingqing didn't mean this, Qingqing definitely didn't like the poor and the rich, but she just thought that Miss's shop was not doing very well now? There is a lot of silver in the account every day, since my uncle has no money in his hand, why doesn't the young lady buy a house in the town, so that it is close to the store, and it doesn't take so much time. ”
Hearing Qingqing's words, Yan Jiao couldn't help but sigh, the money in her hand right now can indeed buy a house and a lot of servants, but An Nanzhi is a big man after all, she always has to take into account his feelings.
She knows him too well! Didn't she give him two hundred taels when he went to Beijing to take the exam before? When he came back, he not only returned the money to him, but even gave him a few taels of silver, and when he looked at the meaning of the broken silver mixed with the copper plate, he knew that it was earned by copying books for others when he was free.
Although he can't make a lot of money, he has a strong sense of self-esteem, and he never wants to eat soft rice, if she really does it behind his back, he may not be happy.
An Nanzhi outside the door felt more and more selfish after hearing Yan Jiao's sigh, he shouldn't have done this, letting her live with him in this room was really wronged her, he would move tomorrow, even if she met with Naqin Yin Nan every day in the future, he would admit it.
It turned out that after taking office, the first thing An Nanzhi did was to check the identity of Qin Yin Nan, only to learn that his surname was actually Qin and not Yin, and he also learned that in private, Yan Jiao liked to run to the Qinglong Dart Bureau if he had nothing to do.
"I think it's very good here, although it's a little smaller, and it's a little farther away on the road, but Nanzhi didn't prepare a carriage, and he also put a cushion in the carriage intimately, in order to make me sit up comfortably, he has tried his best, since he wants to be a good official who enforces the law impartially and honestly, then I can't discredit him, logically speaking, after a man becomes an official, he will never allow his wife to come out and show his face, but he let me be free, I can't think about him."
What if there is no servant, she is not without hands and feet, and he has never let her do any heavy work, the family cooks Qingqing, as for the one-acre and three-point land at home, An Nanzhi goes to farm by herself when she is free, she just goes to the store every day to check the accounts, goes to the embroidery room to supervise the embroidery girl, and there is almost nothing to do when checking the finished product.
"Your uncle has just made this county order, I don't know how many people are staring at him, and he is also strapped for money, you are not allowed to say this in the future, let alone say it in front of him, do you hear?"
"Qingqing knows, Qingqing will definitely not talk nonsense."
"Well, I don't think it's too early at this time, it's time for Nanzhi to come back in a while, hurry up and cook, I heard that he has received a tricky case in the past few days, go kill an old hen to make up for your uncle's body, and he has obviously lost weight in the past two days."
In addition to the material An Nanzhi can't give her the best, but in business, he is extremely serious, a proper good young man, Yan Jiao firmly believes that An Nanzhi is so hard and serious, he will definitely make great achievements in the future, as a friend, she wants to support him.
Hearing this, An Nanzhi's heart was moved, and he took a deep breath and pushed open the courtyard door.
"Yo! Came back so early today? I've already asked Qingqing to prepare dinner, wait a little bit, and you can eat. ”
Yan Jiao didn't know that An Nanzhi had been back for a while, and thought that he had just come back.
"Don't worry, Gillian has wronged you."
"Is this a grievance? Every morning, I can eat breakfast made by the county magistrate, and in the evening, the county magistrate personally washes his feet, and when I am free, I can also eat the vegetables grown by the county magistrate himself, is this a grievance? ”
At this point, An Nanzhi is very good at taking care of people, even if he is now a county order, he does not put an official show on her, and even treats her considerately, she feels that she is here to enjoy happiness.
"But you are the county lady, I still let you live in the countryside, and you still live in this kind of small house, I ......"
"What is this, the adults of the county order live here, I don't think there is anything bad, and the air here is fresh and clean, which is good for sleep, you don't have to feel guilty about me, I am actually living quite well."
"Don't you think I'm too selfish? Didn't let you live in a big house? ”
"It's not that I haven't eaten bran vegetables with you, and besides, when we were the poorest, we also had a meal of radish and cabbage, and we didn't eat bran vegetables, and now our conditions are obviously much better, okay, don't you have meat to eat, don't you still buy me preserved fruit snacks or something from time to time? Where to call it selfishness, you don't have to feel sorry for me, really! ”
Looking at Yan Jiao's satisfied look on her face, although An Nanzhi didn't think about moving, she still planned to buy some servants and maids to come back, and this house is really a little small, otherwise find someone to build a yard in the open space next door.
After he made up his mind, he immediately took action, and he had to find someone to start the work as soon as possible.
"Gillian, I'll go out for a while, the meal is ready, you don't have to wait for me, you eat first!"
"If it's not like this, where are you going?"
Looking at An Nanzhi, who ran out in a hurry, Yan Jiao thought to herself that he was planning to run to the yamen again? But at this point, it's getting dark, and no one will go to the yamen to redress grievances, right?
