This year is the most comfortable year for Cui Pu after coming to Yangzhou, and it is also the most prosperous year for the people of Tianchang County in their lives.

Because of the cultivation of sweet potatoes in these two seasons, the entire Tianchang County is not only famous, but the money is rolling in, almost filling everyone's pockets. Not only has the problem of food and clothing been solved, but everyone's life is collectively rushing towards a well-off situation.

In the first half of the year, you can see every household killing pigs and sheep, and pulling New Year's goods to their homes in cars, and the taste of the year is more than in previous years.

Of course, everyone also knows that their good days are all due to Cui Pu, the county master, who worked hard for them. Most of the people are simple, and they will repay their kindness, so there is no need to arrange New Year's goods at all.

Facing the New Year's goods piled up in half of the yard, Mu Jiaojiao was moved, but also a little powerless.

Cui Pu was very happy to see it: "This shows that our actions in the past two years have won the support of the people! This is a good phenomenon, we must continue to maintain it, and strive to do a good job in the last year." ”

"So, you will take the things of the people with peace of mind?"

"Of course, I'll bring them more than what I've received, and I'm going to build them roads soon, and when they're done, their days will get better and better, what's the point?"

"Yes. Mu Jiaojiao nodded, and smiled at him, "In this way, I have to congratulate Cui County on your outstanding performance in the county, and your performance in the past three years must be excellent." ”

"Rejoice and rejoice. Everything I have now is due to your help. At least half of the credit for this will be shared with you!" Cui Pu hurriedly smiled in return.

The young couple complimented each other, saluted each other, and had a lot of fun. At the end, they all burst into laughter.

After a happy year, on the fourth day of the new year, the couple went to the Zuo prefect of Yangzhou to pay New Year's greetings.

This time, not only all the prefects in Yangzhou Prefecture were respectful to Cui Pu - except for Wu Lixin, of course, even Zuo Governor was smiling at him and was very enthusiastic. During the meal, seeing that Cui Pu and the other magistrates were about to sit together, he hurriedly took the initiative to wave to him: "Cui Xianzun, you come here, there are still a few friends in this mansion who want to introduce you." ”

Cui Pu passed, and sat down on the right hand side of the left prefect's mansion. Looking at it, the other people at the table are all figures in Yangzhou City who have heads and faces and can almost be on an equal footing with the Zuo prefect, and they usually don't care much about small prefects like Cui Pu.

But this time, seeing Cui Pu coming, they got up one after another to greet him. After the wine and food came up, they took turns drinking with him, and they were very warm with each other.

Among the magistrates in the whole Yangzhou Prefecture, he is the only one who enjoys such preferential treatment, and the other magistrates are still honestly curled up on the table below, playing with their own people.

Regarding the super-level treatment that Cui Pu received, everyone said that it was impossible not to be jealous. It's just that who is called Cui Pu is indeed capable? The young Xiao Langjun has only been here for two years, and he has done such a big thing, which has turned Tianchang County upside down. It's all county orders, and they're ashamed of themselves.

"It seems that in another year, this Cui Zhixian will go away and ascend!" Looking at the hot situation over there, Huang Zhixian sighed sincerely.

"Yes! I really didn't expect that such a young Xiao Langjun would have such courage and really get things done! If I were at his age, I was afraid that I didn't have the courage to invest so many manpower and material resources to do these things! So, even at this age, I can only succumb to him, I obey!"

The others also nodded in admiration.

These words penetrated into Wu Lixin's ears, and it made his heart very uncomfortable. Everyone saw it in their eyes and laughed sarcastically, and their words did not have much of a restrained taste.

Wu Lixin couldn't sit still, so he got up and said, "I'll go to the thatched house." ”

"Wu County, please!" the others hurriedly sent him away. And as soon as the people left, someone immediately sneered, "As a county magistrate, he is embarrassed to give us a face? I don't want to think about his current name-Dongshi County Order!"

Burst!

As soon as this title came out, the others burst into laughter.

When Mu Jiaojiao heard about this title, she couldn't laugh too.

"Dongshi County Order...... Who came up with this? It's really ...... "It's so humiliating!"

"Isn't this the truth? Since you arrived here, he hasn't learned what you're doing? You have been managing the bullies in the county, and he has learned to do it; you have set up a greenhouse to grow things, and he has also done so with money; you have been planting sweet potatoes to improve the people's livelihood, and he has quietly asked people to steal your sweet potato seedlings! Dongshi County ordered this name to be given to him, it couldn't be more appropriate!" Liu said with a smile.

Mu Jiaojiao clutched the handkerchief in her hand tightly and couldn't hold back the smile, so she could only reluctantly say, "That being said." But just calling it out like this is still too narrow. ”

"They have the face to do this, aren't they allowed to say it? If they have the ability, they can make some business of their own to show others! Always follow others behind their backs to pick up ready-made ones, and secretly dig up stumbling blocks for people to resist, if it weren't for the fact that there are people behind him, does he think he would still be able to sit here and drink and have fun with others?" Liu snorted coldly.

It seems that even the people in Yangzhou City look down on Wu Lixin, the magistrate of Hailing County!

As the two spoke, they heard a sneer come from each other: "Are you talking about my husband?"

Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly turned around, and saw a young woman with a dignified and beautiful face and a very fashionable dress walking towards this side.

This person is Wu Lixin's wife, a little lady from the Pei family in Hedong, who was sent by the Wu family to accompany Wu Lixin after the Chinese New Year last year.

Coming to them, Mrs. Wu asked again: "I just heard what you were talking about the Dongshi County Order, but you are talking about my husband?"

Liu's face froze, and Mu Jiaojiao nodded with a smile: "Yes! By the way, you must have heard of this title, Mrs. Wu!"

"I've heard of it. Mrs. Wu smiled, "But after hearing about it, I'm also very curious." You said, they all say that my husband is a Dong Shi Xiao Feng, so isn't the object of this Xiao Feng Cui Xianzun? Cui Xian Zun was born well, and there is nothing wrong with comparing him to Xi Shi. But I seem to remember that the record of Xi Shi, a great beauty, in the annals of history is not very good, it is a demon queen who died in the country, and the final ending is also very bad!"

This woman's Taoism is much higher than Wu Lixin's, no wonder the Wu family sent him over.

Look, now she has begun to curse Cui Pu with a strange yin and yang spirit, and she will not die well in the future.

It's a pity that Mu Jiaojiao has never believed in these things. Hearing this, she just raised her lips and smiled: "Mrs. Wu said so, but did she admit it?"

Mrs. Wu's face changed slightly: "I'm just reminding Mrs. Cui that this is not a good name." ”

"It doesn't matter! It is recorded in the annals of history that Xi Shi Meiren is from the Yue country, and it is the Wu country that died because of her, and the Wu country is her enemy country. For the sake of her homeland, she used a little beauty trick to destroy the enemy country, this is a good thing! My family Langjun was born so well, if she can really do something like Xi Shi, paralyze other countries with beauty, and then cooperate with the soldiers of my New Tang Dynasty to destroy other countries and merge them into the land of my New Tang Dynasty, I will definitely raise my hands in agreement!" Mu Jiaojiao said softly.

Speaking of this, her words suddenly changed: "It's a pity that the world doesn't seem to have heard of anything about the death of the country because of men." Moreover, my New Tang Dynasty has an army of millions, sharp as a knife, and has won a hundred battles, so where does he need to use his beauty to do such things? All he can do now is to use what little ability he has to make a better life for the people of Tianchang County. ”

Mrs. Wu secretly gritted her teeth when she heard this: "Mrs. Cui is really good at talking." I never knew you had such sharp teeth. ”

"I didn't know before, but it's not too late to know now!Anyway, we will have more time to deal with in the future!" Mu Jiaojiao smiled.

"Indeed, we will have to deal with each other more in the future!" Mrs. Wu also raised a smile, and seemed to agree with her statement.

While talking, Mrs. Zuo Prefect and her party walked over here. When she saw Mu Jiaojiao who was smiling, Mrs. Zuo's eyes flashed, and she subconsciously didn't start.

"Erlang daughter-in-law, what are you doing there?Hurry up, I still have something to say to you here!" she hurriedly beckoned to Mrs. Wu.

Mrs. Wu smiled at Mu Jiaojiao again: "My cousin is calling me, so I'll go over first." ”

Mrs. Wu walked slowly. Mu Jiaojiao also smiled back. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said to Mrs. Wu's back, "By the way, I think the title of Dongshi County Order really fits." You see, my Langjun has become as famous as Xi Shi Beauty, and it is certain that he will go down in history in the future. It's just that Dong Shi, she has also been famous through the ages by following the example. Although it is not a good reputation, it has also attracted the attention of many people, so that future generations have never forgotten her, this is also a kind of ability, don't you say, Mrs. Wu?"

Mrs. Wu's body stiffened, and a slight tremor could be clearly seen.

She took a deep breath, then turned her head and smiled brightly at Mu Jiaojiao: "Mrs. Cui, you are right. Whatever the reason, it is not an easy task to be famous through the ages!"

After saying that, he turned his head and quickly joined up with Mrs. Zuo's prefect, and the two of them hurried away together.

Liu Shi took their conversation into his ears and couldn't help but be speechless.

"Mrs. Cui, your tone just now is too polite. This group of people surnamed Wu are extremely cautious, aren't you afraid that they will hold a grudge against you again, and then secretly retaliate?"

"We don't know how much of our enmity has ended, and it's not bad for this one. Mu Jiaojiao said disapprerovingly. As she spoke, she sighed again, "But speaking of which, this Mrs. Wu is actually a good lady, and I like her temperament." It's a pity that she married Wu Lixin, her life was ruined, and we were destined to be friends. What a pity!"
