Chapter 83 The county magistrate’s wife is coming?
Shen Xia saw that Song Yun seemed to be quite knowledgeable about this, so she ignored him and waited for his arrangements.
After all, I heard that he had excellent academic performance. The students of this period had a much more difficult life than those in his time.
And it can be seen that he is comprehensive and very smart.
Judging from the time I have spent with him, my fourth brother should be the smartest among these brothers.
Sometimes I wonder if he has doubts about me, but since he hasn't said anything, I just pretend I don't know.
Turned a circle
I took a look and saw that there were more than 110 people. My uncle and his friends brought more than 40 people, and there were more than 60 people from my own village.
Where do so many people come from in my village?
There were only about 20 to 30 men yesterday!
Later I heard from my third uncle that the other people came to help because they heard the noise. At that time, every household helped each other repair their houses, and they didn't pay for the work.
Of course, Third Uncle said that I don’t need to pay, but I must pay it, otherwise I will have to go to help next time, and I don’t want to go.
I heard from my third uncle that because the Song family has mostly men, they are willing to help our family and repay the project, and families with many men can also repay it.
On the contrary, in families without sons, no one is willing to help, for fear that even if they help you, you won't be able to pay back the project.
There is actually such a saying.
This is my first time hearing about it.
No wonder people in rural areas want to have sons, is it because of the labor force?
There were not only men working there, there were also some tall women.
After staying here for an hour, I saw two carriages slowly approaching from a distance.
No one has ever seen a relative who makes horse-drawn carriages.
There were also several guards on horseback nearby, wearing what looked like official uniforms.
So everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the approaching carriage.
Although Shen Xia was wearing coarse linen clothes, the people on the horse saw her at a glance.
"Miss Shen,"
Everyone looked at a handsome man dressed in silk and calling Shen Xia in confusion.
There was gossip in everyone's eyes.
But because Third Uncle knew this man, he stepped forward and saluted: "Greetings, County Magistrate."
When the people heard what the county magistrate said,
That person is almost as good as the county magistrate.
Then everyone knelt down and said, "Greetings, Mr. County Magistrate."
Shen Xia was stunned and saw that only she and Song Yun did not kneel down.
Song Yun was educated, and although only a scholar could meet an official without kneeling, he was still only a student, but he could see that they were traveling privately, so he did not need to kneel.
Besides, he was the county magistrate, not the county magistrate. He had never experienced anything like this in his life. Suddenly, he had to kneel down before seeing the county magistrate. He was not used to it.
It seems that I have to pass the scholar examination as soon as possible.
Shen Xia looked at Song Yun who did not kneel down. Should he kneel or not?
Zheng Jinshu looked at the two people who looked very abrupt in the crowd.
Shen Xia complained in her heart about this evil slavery system, then smiled and looked at Zheng Jinshu: "Should I kneel down and salute at this time?"
Zheng Jinshu smiled when he heard Shen Xia's straightforward question: "Everyone, please stand up! I came out for a private matter this time, so please mind your own business."
Only then did the people stand up.
At this time, Gu Ziyan came out of the carriage and smiled at Shen Xia: "Sister Shen."
"Hello, Madam!" Shen Xia said politely.
Why did the county magistrate's wife come to such a remote place?
Then another child came out of the carriage: "Sister Shen,"
Shen Xia looked at Yan'er and smiled, "Why are you here with the Madam?"
Yan'er jumped off the carriage directly, and everyone next to the carriage was frightened.
Zheng Jinshu also got off the horse immediately and grabbed Yan'er: "Yan'er, are you okay?"
"It's okay," he said, then he broke free from Zheng Jinshu's hand, ran to Shen Xia and took her hand: "Sister Shen."
Shen Xia smiled and said, "You're naughty again."
Song Yun was watching from the side, wondering how Shen Xia knew these two people.
Zheng Jinshu, son of the Minister of Revenue in the capital,
Gu Ziyan, the eldest daughter of Prince Rui, why is she here?
incredible,
Why didn't Song Yun know? Because in his previous life, when he woke up and took the imperial examination, he passed the examination and attended the banquet hosted by the county magistrate. The county magistrate he met was no longer Gu Zizhan.
So he didn't understand why he saw two people here.
Gu Ziyan also came down and walked to Shen Xia: "You said goodbye in a hurry yesterday, and I didn't have time to thank you, so today I brought Yan'er to see you."
"You're too polite, ma'am. It's just a piece of cake. You don't have to take it to heart." Shen Xia said politely.
Everyone was curious. The Song family was really going to be very successful. Even the county magistrate had to personally escort the person. His status must be very high.
The point is,
And he is so polite to Shen Xia.
"What are you doing here?" Gu Ziyan asked curiously.
"Oh, the yard is too small, so I plan to build a bigger one." Shen Xia explained.
Then he said, "Madam, please come with me to sit in the yard!"
It's quite hot here.
Having said that, Shen Xia took Yan'er away.
Since Third Uncle thought it was a private matter and the matter was about female relatives, he did not go with them.
Everyone has gossip, so when Shen Xia and the others left, the villagers quickly asked the village chief.
What's happening here?
The village chief then told the story of what happened at the county government gate yesterday.
It’s just that the village chief and Shen Xia both think that Gu Ziyan is the county magistrate’s wife, because Yan’er looks too much like the county magistrate.
I have never thought about the fact that my nephew looks like his uncle.
Song Yun also learned the whole story from the village chief.
Then I went home.
Although she was a female relative, the county magistrate was a man, so he had to go and accompany her.
Besides, the county magistrate didn't look serious at all. How could he look at the women so directly?
Song Yun talked a few words to his two uncles and his third uncle and then went back.
Gu Ziyan followed Shen Xia to the Song family yard.
Shen Xia didn't feel bad.
He generously took everyone to the thatched hut in the yard to sit down. There was a table and benches in the hut.
But Gu Ziyan was very surprised about the financial situation of the Song family?
Shen Xia's speech and manner show that she is a girl who was brought up in a cultured and educated environment.
I don't understand why such a pretty girl like Shen Xia would choose such a family.
Is there anything special about this family?
But this has nothing to do with me, so I shouldn’t ask too much.
Anyway, I am optimistic about Shen Xia, not her family.
Then let the person behind bring the things in.
I saw that each of the officers behind was holding something in his hand.
"Sister, I don't know how many people there are in your family, so I prepared some cloth and gifts. There are limited things in the county, so please don't despise me, sister!"
Shen Xia looked at the two officers behind him, each holding three pieces of cloth, and the other two officers behind him, each holding two boxes, and he didn't know what they were.
"Madam, how can you take so many things? You really don't need them." Shen Xia looked at all the things.
For Shen Xia, looking at so many things is not a happy thing.
Instead, I was thinking about the gift in return, but I really couldn't give anything in return right now.
Gifts are about reciprocity.
Gu Ziyan looked at Shen Xia with a look of rejection on her face.
I knew I was not wrong about her. Sister Shen is different from others and has a broad vision.
I'm not happy with this little thing, on the contrary I feel unworthy of it.
Shen Xia didn't know what Gu Ziyan was thinking.
If you know, tell her that it’s not that you don’t like receiving gifts, you just don’t know how to reciprocate.
Finally, under Sister Gu’s strong request, I had to accept it.
Take it back to the room.
