Lunch was served in a restaurant. In the evening, as night fell, three nuns and four guards returned; not only did they bring good news, they also brought the county magistrate.
The magistrate of Xianyun County is a middle-aged man with a short beard and dressed in dark green official clothes. When he came in, he greeted Minghua first.
"Your Majesty, the magistrate of Xianyun County, Lu Changsheng, pays homage to the Lord of Zhaoyang County. Please be kind to the Lord."
"Magistrate Lu, please rise." Minghua raised his arm.
Lu Changsheng stood up and thanked you, and then explained: "The Lord of Zhaoyang County has been back home for a few months, and I should have come to see you when you first came back. However, I heard that you were in seclusion to prepare for the exam, and it was not convenient to see guests, so I decided to I have given up the idea of coming to see you. I am so negligent, please forgive me, Lord County."
Qipin County Magistrate is still a local official, and his status is far different from Minghua.
"Magistrate Lu is interested. I am back only for scientific research. It is right for you not to come to see me privately. But I don't know why Magistrate Lu is here this time?" Maintain the front, and maintain the rear.
Lu Changsheng looked embarrassed and said, "Zhaoyang County Lord, please forgive me."
"That's all." Minghua waved her hand, "You have to ask your people to assist the nuns around this county lord, and there must be no mistakes. You only have three days to release the supplies. After three days, your people can leave. "
The magistrate didn't take her seriously before, but now that he came to see her, he was not sincere. Fortunately, she didn't want to worry about it, she just wanted to get things done as long as she didn't take her seriously.
The human heart is difficult to control but also easy to control; the most important thing is that you have to control your own heart, otherwise, sooner or later, you will go astray.
As a Taoist, practicing and cultivating your mind is a basic skill.
Lu Changsheng responded with a smile, and then said: "Xiaguan heard that the county master brought back a good road-making tool from the capital, and he went to see it himself. The road was indeed very good; it was flat, and carriages could walk on it like shoes. Flat ground is an excellent road."
"Cement is not a valuable thing. If the county magistrate wants to know, it is better to go to the capital to inquire."
"Yes." Lu Changsheng knew that she was impatient, so he stopped and cooperated with the county chief's people to distribute the supplies beautifully before asking about the cement.
After they left, Minghua asked the three nuns, "Is today going well?"
"Everything went well. We went to see the county magistrate first and got the county lord's warrant. Magistrate Lu sent the arresters from the yamen to help. He also publicized the benevolent deeds of the county lord and the eldest young master, and there were many beggars and homeless people. The children all came to collect the supplies. We didn’t do anything. Magistrate Lu and his people were in charge.”
"He leads the team himself?"
Grandma Chen nodded seriously, "Yes, he personally led the team to distribute the supplies."
"He's quite a smart one." The corner of his lips curled up slightly, and he said nonchalantly: "I guess he'll do something wrong."
Aunt Tian agreed and echoed: "Magistrate Lu has only been in the county for half a year, and the previous magistrate was promoted a year ago. After he came, he couldn't come up with any tricks, and he couldn't do anything to the people." Well, I don’t have much reputation in Xianyun County. I just know that the county magistrate has been replaced by a new one. His move is to take advantage of the county magistrate and gain some favor from the people."
"That's why I say he is a smart man and can be stable." When he can't make up his mind, he can retreat; once he sees an opportunity, he will jump in without hesitation. ….
He can advance or retreat, but he lacks a bit of human sophistication. "He is not young anymore. Why is he in the post of county magistrate? Does grandma know?"
"I don't know." The three nuns shook their heads. Although they came from the palace, they did not understand these things.
Minghua sighed, after all, the intelligence network was not enough!
"never mind."
"County Master, if you want to know about Magistrate Lu, we can inquire about it." Aunt Luo spoke up, feeling uneasy.
Grandma Chen and Grandma Tian have no objection to this.
Minghua said: "No need, it is just a short-term cooperation. When we return to the capital, it is unknown whether we will see each other again in the future. There is no need to investigate him and waste time and energy."
"yes."
"Let's go back. It's getting late. Brother should be anxious at home."
The group of people got off the restaurant, and the guards brought the carriage. Minghua, three maids, and two maids got in
He got into the carriage; the others followed the carriage and headed home together.
When we entered the village, the sky had already darkened; the village became quiet. Some people had eaten early and went to bed while the sky was still bright. Some people were busy and cooked later. . Occasionally one or two dogs barking can be heard throughout the village, but other sounds are silent.
When he got home, Xiao Pingfu came up to him with a smile and said to Minghua who had just got off the carriage: "County Master, did you go to the county town to do things smoothly?"
"It went well. I won't go to the county town tomorrow." What should I do at home? "I want to eat lotus roots. I wonder if there is anyone selling lotus roots around our village."
"The county master wants to eat it. I will ask my servant to go out and look for Ophiopogon japonicus early tomorrow morning. I can always find it for the county master. If you want to eat anything else, just ask." The county master wants to eat it, but there is none nearby, so he will go for a walk somewhere far away. , can always be found.
Minghua nodded gently, "Mushroom stew, just stir-fry a few vegetables."
"Isn't it too light? It's the time for you and the young master to grow up; you are studying again. If you don't replenish your body, your body won't be able to bear it." Xiao Pingfu frowned, fearing that she wouldn't be able to eat well.
Minghua said: "It's okay to be a vegetarian."
"you......."
"I have eaten a lot of non-vegetarian food in the past. I occasionally eat two vegetarian meals, which is just the right balance."
Xiao Pingfu looked restrained and said, "Yes, I will ask Ophiopogon japonicus to find it tomorrow. If I can't find it at noon, I can eat it in the evening."
"Okay, where is my eldest brother?" He looked up at the main room and then in the direction of Xiao Hongkang's room.
"The eldest young master is reading in the room. He said he would have dinner together when you come back."
"Call brother out for dinner. I'll go to the main room first. Aunt Chen, Xiao Mei and Xiao Xing, bring me some hot water to wash my hands and face."
"yes."
After Xiao Pingfu, Xiao Mei, and Xiao Xing went down, the three nuns said: "County Master, let's go make your bed and take care of some rooms for you."
"Don't worry, you must be tired after running around all day. You have to help keep an eye on things tomorrow. Let's eat first." Minghua spoke, and the three nuns went to the kitchen full of emotion and joy.
There were more servants at home, so Minghua no longer ate with Xiao Mei, leaving her to eat with the grandmothers and maids. Xiao Mei felt uncomfortable around her and was very reserved when eating.
"Sister, you're back!" Xiao Hongkang walked in with a happy face. Seeing her calm expression, he became even happier, "I hope you have a safe journey."
Minghua smiled back, "Brother, don't worry. We are going to the county town to do good deeds. I have guards around me to protect me, so nothing will happen to me. But how many books did eldest brother read at home? Can I review my previous homework?"
"Yes, yes." Xiao Hongkang smiled and narrowed his eyes, "You can learn something new by reviewing the past! Brother understands."
"Sit." Minghua pointed to the seat next to her. Xiao Hongkang walked up and took a seat with a smile. He looked up at his sister and looked at her for a while. .
