Chapter 97 Being looked down upon
Just after dinner, I heard someone at the door report that someone was looking for Miss Shen.
Because the constable knew Song Yun, he brought him in directly.
Song Yun looked at the three people sitting together eating.
County Magistrate Zheng knew him, but was surprised that Gu Zizhan was here too.
From what I knew in my previous life, Gu Zizhan was not an easy person to approach, unless he admired you.
And Shen Xia was able to eat at the same table with him. Was it because Shen Xia saved Gu Ziyan's son?
Are all the relationships getting closer?
Will it be so?
Shen Xia is good at everything.
Sometimes we are too kind. Don't help others count their money after you have sold them out.
Couldn't help but frown.
Zheng Jinshu looked at Song Yun and stood up and said, "It's useless for the fourth young master to have dinner. We just had dinner. I'll ask the kitchen to make some more food. Let's eat first and then go back."
In fact, there was still a lot of food left, but it was not a good idea to suggest that people eat the leftovers, so I said this.
Song Yun quickly retracted his thoughts: "No, thank you, County Magistrate Zheng, we have things to do when we return, so we won't delay us."
In Shen Xia's eyes, Song Yun must be one of her own.
Then he stepped forward with a smile and asked: "Fourth brother, have you finished your work?"
Song Yun looked at Shen Xia with a smile on his face and didn't know what to say: "Yeah."
Shen Xia saw that Song Yun was a scholar and was sure that he would have to deal with County Magistrate Gu in the future, so he introduced him: "This is County Magistrate Gu."
No wonder I heard that he left the capital for a few years and came here.
The important people in Beijing are all full of gossip, so I heard his gossip by chance.
When I passed the exam to be admitted to Beijing, he had already returned to Beijing, so I have never met him in this county.
This is the second son of Prince Rui. It is said that he was forced away by his mother. After returning to Beijing once, he joined the army again in less than a year and fought on the battlefield to earn a lot of military merits.
When I met him,
I am thirty years old and he is already forty.
Shen Xia has always been a sensitive person, and of course I know the purpose of Shen Xia introducing me.
He bowed to Gu Zizhan and said, "I am here to see the County Magistrate."
Gu Zizhan was originally a noble from the capital, so I didn't think there was anything wrong with bowing in front of him.
"Yeah." Gu Zizhan just nodded.
He was like two completely different people compared to the one just now who was talking and laughing.
Seeing that no one had anything to say, Shen Xia said, "Thank you both for your hospitality today. We will take our leave now."
The two nodded.
Shen Xia took Song Yun out.
Gu Zizhan looked at Shen Xia's leaving back, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
Until Zheng Jinshu couldn't bear it anymore and started to tease, "There's no sign of the person, but you're still reluctant to give it up? It's still early now, we can still grab it, but if it's too late, it will be too late."
When Gu Zizhan heard this, his face darkened and he said unhappily, "It just so happens that we need to repair the city wall after the autumn harvest this year. You will be the one to lead this matter then!"
When Zheng Jinshu heard this, his face instantly turned darker than Gu Zizhan's, and he quickly retorted: "No way! It's so hot after the autumn harvest, I won't do it, you're going too far, do you believe that I'm going back to Beijing and leaving you alone here."
Gu Zizhan responded calmly: "You try it."
Then he turned and left.
I have wasted the whole morning on official business, so I have to hurry and do it now.
Shen Xia and Song Yun left the government office and looked at Uncle Yang at the door: "Uncle Yang, have you finished your meal?"
Uncle Yang nodded happily: "Well, I'm done eating. This is my first time eating in the government office, and the official is so polite."
"I felt embarrassed at first and didn't want to go, but then Lord Zheng was so polite and I didn't want to spoil his fun, so I went. I hope I didn't cause any trouble for you, Xiao Shen!"
Uncle Yang has lived for half his life and of course he knows that those officials are usually arrogant people. The reason why they are so polite to him must be because of Shen Xia.
"No, Uncle Yang, you're too polite. It's just a small matter. Let's go! We're going back." After saying that, Shen Xia and Song Yun got in the car.
After the oxcart had traveled some distance,
Then he asked, "Fourth Brother, is it easy to buy an ox cart here?"
Song Yun looked at Shen Xia: "Do you want to buy a bullock cart?"
"Ah."
"Okay." Song Yun nodded.
At this time, Uncle Yang heard: "Xiao Shen, do you want to buy a bullock cart? I am here and can help you find one."
After hearing what Uncle Yang said, Shen Xia felt that it was a good idea.
Then he asked Song Yun to show him the way to the poultry trading place.
Then I thought, I still need to take the dog out, so I have to find a chance to leave later.
In the morning, I also took out the toys when I found an opportunity to leave.
Arrived at the location.
There are several here.
Although he didn't think about buying anything when he came out, Shen Xia still brought out twenty taels.
Then he took out ten taels of silver and handed it to Song Yun: "Fourth brother, I don't know how to choose this thing, so please ask you and Uncle Yang to choose for me." After saying that, he handed the ten taels of silver to Song Yun.
I have asked Uncle Yang before, and he said that a normal cow weighs between 600 and 800 grams.
Then an oxcart only costs a few hundred coins, because this kind of oxcart is easy to make at home, so you can't afford it.
"I haven't been around the county yet. I'll just walk around the area and meet up here in half an hour." Shen Xia said.
Song Yun nodded.
I thought it was normal for women to like shopping, so I didn’t think much about it.
After Shen Xia left.
It really went around a bit.
But because they sell poultry here, the smell is a bit strong, so there is really nothing nearby.
Shen Xia walked along two streets before he saw many businesses selling all kinds of goods.
Shen Xia carried a backpack and went into each house to check.
I walked into a rouge shop. Of course I didn’t think about buying anything, I just wanted to see what rouge looked like at that time.
As a result, just when Shen Xia was about to reach out to pick it up and take a look.
Then I heard a sharp voice in my ear: "Don't touch it if you can't afford it."
Shen Xia frowned and turned around, only to see that it was a little girl.
The little girl seems to be about the same age as the original owner.
The look in his eyes was like a shuttle, looking Shen Xia up and down.
What Shen Xia wore today was the fabric she had bought earlier. The clothes and skirt her mother had made were made of simple linen.
Actually, I quite like it.
Because linen is particularly breathable in this weather.
Shen Xia said: "If I don't take a look, how can I know whether I like it or not."
The girl said arrogantly, "You can't afford it even if you look at it. Don't let us get it dirty and then we won't be able to sell it. So don't look at it. Our store doesn't welcome poor people like you to come in."
There are some guests nearby, and they are indeed dressed much better.
It seems that the things sold in this shop should not be cheap.
At this time, someone nearby also echoed, "That's right, this is Yurong Pavilion, the most expensive rouge shop in the county, can anyone come in?"
Shen Xia glanced at the woman who was speaking. She was about 30 years old! She should be a rich lady in the county. She was dressed in silk and satin, with a lot of gold hairpins on her head. She had no aesthetic taste at all.
The person pulling something nearby should be a maid.
That little maid is much prettier than her.
