Thinking of this, Magistrate Lu laughed, little county master! On weekdays, it seems to be indifferent, but if you really want to be exquisite, it is not impossible.
Continuing to look at the fifth picture, only the word "official" is written.
This is the test that Minghua left for him. If he can understand it, the road ahead will be easy to solve.
Magistrate Lu read several strategies together, and it took him a long time to combine them with the strategies on these papers. Jams and fruit wines were made and sold by the government for a certain fee, and the common people reduced the number of various strategies. Various business risks.
The yamen can also win over this business and make profits from it to maintain the operation of the county government; moreover, when people from the government go out to sell, they have a certain degree of credibility. As long as the goods are good, they will sell well.
Here, Magistrate Lu found a clue and turned around to invest in several strategic indicators; the roads around Xianyun County were paved, and half of the roads to several towns were paved. The rest was to prepare funds. , ready for another batch.
Minghua has been on the road for more than a month, and has entered the capital covered with wind and dust. After entering the capital, Granny Tian asked, "County Lord, should you go back to your County Lord's Mansion to freshen up first, or should you go and say hello to the Lord and Madam first?"
"Let's go see my parents first."
"Yes." Aunt Tian opened the curtain and said to the coachman, "Go to Xiao Mansion."
The coachman responded with a loud voice and drove to a stop outside the gate of Xiao's residence; the boy guarding the gate of Xiao's residence happily shouted loudly into the yard when he saw the familiar carriage coming back.
"Master, madam, the eldest young master and the county master are back." He shouted as he walked to the carriage and helped the driver move the stools; waiting for Minghua and others to come out.
On the other hand, Xiao Mei and Xiao Xing had no use for them. The three nuns opened the curtain first and stepped out of the carriage; then Xiao Hongkang, and finally Minghua.
When she came down, the three sisters stretched out their hands to support her.
Unexpectedly, Minghua suddenly jumped down from the carriage, and the three nuns twitched at the corners of their eyes.
"County Lord, please pay attention to your manners." Aunt Tian couldn't see through it and reminded, "This is the capital, no one knows if there is anyone watching you from behind."
At least be more cautious.
Aunt Chen and Aunt Luo chuckled beside her. Minghua said indifferently: "I am who I am. Do I have to change myself because of others? That is wrong. Although people have to integrate into the environment, as long as their temperament is Okay, I should keep it. I think my temperament is pretty good, what do the ladies think?"
"Yes, yes, you are fine." Grandma Luo shook her head and laughed.
Minghua glanced at her, don't think she didn't know that Aunt Luo was laughing at her, "Am I the county boss, or are you the county boss?"
"you are."
"That's right, I'm the head of the county. I can do whatever I want." She crossed the crowd and walked to the threshold. She turned back to look at the three nuns and said, "However, the three nuns are also doing it for my own good. , I won’t punish you.”
Grandma Luo had already laughed out loud. Their master had many sides; they were used to it, but they were always surprised from time to time.
After walking into the courtyard gate, Minghua turned around and said, "Brother, walk faster."
"Here we come." Xiao Hongkang walked quickly to her side and walked to the backyard together. After entering the backyard, the three nuns went to arrange the things for Minghua to wash next, and even Xiao Xing and the little maids were called away. , only Xiao Mei was left to serve.
When there were fewer people, Xiao Hongkang asked: "Little sister, if you talk to the three nuns like this, won't the nuns talk about you?"
"What are you talking about me?" Minghua looked at him strangely, "I am the county boss. They only want to be with me, so why should they talk about me? They can persuade me when I do something wrong, but when I am not wrong, they have no right to do so. .Brother, although I jumped off the carriage, there was no one around, and no one else saw it, right? They are all members of my own family. Isn’t it bad to be free? Do you have to use rules to restrain one’s nature?”
Rules are for outsiders to see.
She has always felt that ancient times were not rigid etiquette dynasties. Under the essence of etiquette, one should reveal one's true nature; it would be too lousy to arm oneself with rules in front of family members.
Look at Princess Pingyang who founded the Tang Dynasty.
She formed the Women's Army and led it to make great achievements; she was an ancient woman who followed the rules, but she was able to fight for her dreams. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the girl who was named Princess Pingyang and who once made Li Yuan think about passing on the throne could be an ordinary person?
In fact, she has always believed that it is not that women cannot make their own careers; it is that women's hearts are bound, and what restrains them is ancient rules and dogmas.
Smart women use rules and dogmas to protect themselves, while stupid women will only follow the dogma and become a soulless tool that embodies the dogma.
"Brother, you don't have such thoughts, do you?" It's very dangerous.
Minghua had a hunch that this eldest brother might have been influenced by some trends in the capital.
Xiao Hongkang opened his mouth and suddenly didn't know how to answer; he really thought so. As the head of the county and a noble lady in the capital, every move is under the eyes of others, shouldn't he be perfect?
"Little sister, you are so casual now, it will be difficult to negotiate marriage in the future."
"Those who care about these things cannot get into my eyes. Brother, you too, if you care about these things, it is best not to treat me as your sister from now on. If you can't change your mind, don't blame your sister. I will take your daughter-in-law with you in the future. It’s amazing.”
Men can't be used to it.
Although this little man is her brother, that is no exception.
Xiao Hongkang blushed for a moment and didn't know how to answer the question; he could only follow her to the secondary courtyard. Before the brother and sister arrived at the secondary courtyard, the servants waiting in the courtyard had already reported to Xiao Le and his wife.
The couple came out to take a look, just as the brother and sister walked to the door.
"My son." Xiao Leshi walked towards them quickly.
Xiao Zhengning followed with a smile.
Xiao Leshi hugged Xiao Hongkang and said, "Mom, I haven't seen you for half a year. You look thinner."
"Minghua, you seem to have lost some weight. Didn't you take good care of your servants back home?" Xiao Zhengning looked at his daughter and spoke. As a father, his daughter is getting older. No matter how much he loves his daughter, he must abide by the rules of men and women.
"My eldest brother and I are living a good life in our hometown. We eat well, sleep well, and are not losing weight." Minghua bowed, "Dad and mother seem to have lost some weight."
Xiao Leshi then looked at Minghua and reached out to hold her, but Minghua dodged her and said, "Mom, please talk to me more. It's inappropriate for us, brother and sister, to stop being filial to you and your two elders. It's just right." Now that I’m back, it’s time for my mother to talk to my eldest brother more.”
When we are apart once, we feel like an inch of stranger.
Minghua couldn't explain what this feeling was like. She only understood that such feelings could not last long. Xiao Leshi had already developed a sense of separation in her heart, which could not be easily changed, and she did not bother to change it.
