While they were discussing, Magistrate Lu had already placed the account book in Nanny Luo's hands.
"Mommy, please take a look."
Aunt Luo picked it up and glanced at it briefly, then put it down after she knew what she was doing, "Your Majesty, the county magistrate has paid careful attention. There is no problem with the accounts. You can go to the county magistrate to discuss how to discuss it later."
"I understand, I hope grandma can put in a few nice words."
Aunt Luo stood up but did not respond to him; when she reached the threshold leading from the back hall to the main hall, she stopped and spoke under the confused gaze of Magistrate Lu.
"The county boss likes people who do practical things. As long as the demands are reasonable and they are really serving the country and the people, the county boss will not refuse."
"Thanks for the tip, mama."
Magistrate Lu bowed deeply and sent Nanny Luo away. He took the account book back to the study. He felt quite sure that he had always been an official who worked for the people. He believed that he did not have those shady little people to do anything in front of the county magistrate. , he can straighten his back.
The next day.
As soon as it got dark, Magistrate Lu waited outside Minghua's house with a half-large box in his arms. He knocked on the door without permission and waited outside with his account book. He was accompanied by an official and a staff member beside him.
When Xiao Xinglai opened the courtyard door and saw Magistrate Lu, he was really surprised.
"Your Majesty the County Magistrate." Fu Shen was greeted with courtesy.
They are the maids beside the county lord, but they have no rank. They should be polite when meeting an official. However, this ceremony is not common people's courtesy. They also represent the face of the county lord, so a half-ceremony is enough.
"Girl." After receiving half a courtesy, Magistrate Lu asked, "I'm here to ask for an audience with the county lord. I wonder if the county lord can meet me conveniently?"
Xiao Xing nodded with a smile, moved out of the way, and said with one hand, "Your Excellency, the County Magistrate, please sit down in the main room for a while, and I will go and invite the County Lord."
"Okay, okay, thank you."
Magistrate Lu followed her into the courtyard, Xiao Xing went to Minghua's room, and Magistrate Lu went to the main room. After entering the main room, he found a suitable seat and sat down, but within a moment, the maid brought tea.
"County Lord, Magistrate Lu has arrived. Please sit down in the main room." Xiao Xing entered Minghua's room, and Minghua was dressing up.
Mainly Xiao Mei was dressing him up, and three nuns were helping him.
Today, she wore clothes made of the more expensive Zhaoxia brocade, and she was full of luxury. Even though she was young, the clothes could not hide her aristocratic temperament.
"Okay, County Lord." Xiao Mei cleaned up the dressing table and said to Minghua.
Minghua stood up and straightened her clothes. She was used to wearing casual clothes. Suddenly, she was wearing a corset that was particularly restrictive. "Mommy, can't you not wear this?"
"County Lord, you should dress like this every day. It's just that you like the feeling of those clothes before. But today you are meeting the magistrate of Xianyun County, so you should be more formal. You can change them after they leave." Chen Grandma walked up with a smile, "Actually, you look better dressed like this, and your mental outlook is completely different."
Aunt Tian echoed: "It is indeed as Sister Chen said, County Lord, you should try more various styles and styles. When the girl was young, she looked good no matter what she wore. But when she gets old, she wants to try but can't. Already."
"Isn't it personal preference in what kind of clothes to wear? As a superior, shouldn't the inferior follow the preferences of the superior?" Minghua was helpless. She had not worn these clothes after they were made, and she had not grown much taller. Now you can take it out and wear it. ….
Aunt Luo laughed and said: "County Master, your clothes are really old and young. What will happen if you don't wear them when you grow taller? It would be a waste if you can't wear them even if you want to. Your clothes are all customized. Only your level can wear it, no one would dare to ask for it even if it were given away."
People of the same rank have their own embroiderers, so who would want these clothes?
Minghua was speechless, which seemed to be the case.
"In the future, I will make less clothes and sell the materials when they are no longer needed. I wear student uniforms every day in the capital and rarely wear regular clothes. I just need to make a few outfits and change them." Fortunately, I don't have so many clothes, and this is also my return to my hometown. , the maids cleaned it up for her, and she realized that she was a person with a huge wardrobe.
The same is true for the wealthy daughters of modern times.
"Okay County Lord, you
Wear these clothes first, and we can change the ones that have been worn; we can also change the quality of the clothes and then give them away, or trade them, although it is a bit more troublesome. "Nanny Chen thinks a lot. The county owner comes from a farm family, and frugality is engraved in her bones.
Minghua then nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, I'll leave these matters to you. Let's go see the county magistrate."
Everyone followed her out of the room and walked into the yard. Minghua turned back and glanced at Xiao Hongkang's room, "Brother, haven't you gotten up yet?"
"You should get up. I saw a servant bringing hot water into the house earlier."
Minghua nodded, "Okay, Xiao Xing, you wait here; when the elder brother comes out, ask him to come directly to the main room. Aunt Chen, please have breakfast served, three servings."
"yes."
Aunt Chen went to the kitchen, and the number of people accompanying her became three. Aunt Luo, Aunt Tian and Xiao Mei followed her into the main room.
Magistrate Lu hurriedly stood up and stepped forward to greet him.
"Your Majesty pays homage to the Lord of Zhaoyang County."
"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, please get up." Minghua walked around him and sat down in the upper position, and then said: "Yesterday, when grandma came back, she told the county owner about the results of the auction. It was beyond my expectation. I didn't expect that our Xianyun County has money. There are so many people.”
County Magistrate Lu repeatedly echoed, "What the County Lord said is that our Xianyun County is inconspicuous and there are quite a lot of rich people. Even if we don't auction it, the lower officials wouldn't know about it. It was also the County Lord's good idea."
"You arranged it well." Magistrate Lu is very capable. If you give him a chance, he will perform well.
Magistrate Lu smiled attentively and said: "County Lord, you see that we have money, can you help us transfer the cement?"
"Of course it is possible. It will be sent to the capital together with the banknote and envelope later. However, the county chief said that you need to bear the manpower and material resources for the escort. Therefore, the more than 60,000 taels of silver may have to be paid at a fraction of the price. Hire people."
"This is natural, this is natural, and it should be; everything is arranged by the county master."
Minghua nodded slightly, "Leave the money and go back and wait for the news; once it is confirmed, I will let grandma contact you."
"The county lord is benevolent." Magistrate Lu bowed respectfully, but did not leave.
Minghua raised her eyebrows, waiting for his next words.
After the County Magistrate Lu hesitated for a while, fearing to offend Minghua, he bravely said: "County Lord, I have been an official for nine years, and I have been wandering around in the post of county magistrate without finding my way. I would like to ask the County Lord to help me." Give me some pointers."
"Don't you already know?" Why ask again.
Magistrate Lu felt a cold sweat break out on his back. This man really didn't look like a nine-year-old child; he seemed to be able to read people's hearts, with his penetrating eyes.
Minghua said calmly: "If you want to be promoted, you must first do what you need to do and then have actual political achievements. Have you achieved much political achievements in the past nine years?".
