"Wanwan, Ayi, why did you suddenly come to You County?" Su Jing was smiling, but she couldn't hide the haggardness and fatigue on her face.
"Brother, we came here specially to see you!" Su Wan approached him with tears in his eyes.
"Don't come over yet. Brother is dirty. After I take a shower and change clothes, the three of us, brother and sister, can slowly reminisce about old times." Su Jing stretched out her hand to stop Su Wan's progress.
In his opinion, their Wanwan's clothes should always be clean, and if he hadn't come back in a hurry, he would never have seen her in such a dirty and embarrassed state.
Su Wan felt warm in her heart. Big brother, no matter when and where, he would always be so gentle to her.
"Sir, the hot water has been boiled. Go take a bath quickly. The food will be ready soon." The county magistrate's wife smiled honestly.
She usually looked at Mr. Su and thought, if Mr. Su had a younger sister, she would be very beautiful. With such a beautiful skin, she would definitely have a daughter in the future.
"Thank you for your hard work, madam. I'm going to take a shower and change clothes." Su Jing bowed to her.
"My lord, you are welcome. You have done your best for the people of Xuanhe. As a wife in the back house, I can't help you much. I can only do my best in the rear. You don't have to talk about these small things."
It can be seen that the county magistrate's wife is also a woman who is very understanding of people and the world, and her face is also very kind.
The county magistrate also looks very honest and simple, which can be seen by looking at the mansion where he lives.
"Master Su, you are back!"
Suddenly, a slightly surprised female voice sounded from behind Su Jing.
Su Wan looked sideways and saw a young girl who was about seventeen or eighteen years old.
She was wearing a plain dress and was dressed simply, with only a silver hairpin in her hair.
The way she looked at Su Jing, she did not hide her admiration at all.
This is the look a woman would have when she looks at the man she likes.
"Yuying, you're back!" The county magistrate's wife looked lovingly at the woman she called Yuying, then walked towards her and introduced to everyone:
"This is my daughter, Ma Yuying. She is studying pharmacology at the county medical clinic. She only comes back at this time every day. Yuying, these two are Mr. Su's younger brother and sister, Mr. Su Yi and Miss Su Wan."
Hearing that they were Su Jing's younger siblings, Ma Yuying immediately stepped forward and faced the two of them.
"Master Su, Miss Su, I am Yuying."
"Hello, Miss Yuying!" Su Wan and Su Yi responded politely.
"It's getting late, so I won't delay and go take a bath first." Su Jing nodded to everyone and returned to the room that the county magistrate had prepared for her in the mansion.
Xizi and Zhuzi had already gone to pack up in advance. They were the two book boys that Su Wan bought before Su Jing took office.
Things have been tough here in Youxian County recently, and the county magistrate's wife personally cooked a table of meals.
There are bacon, bacon, and stewed chicken, and the rest are some vegetarian dishes.
The county magistrate's wife was very embarrassed. When guests came, she couldn't give her anything good to entertain them.
Su Wan came over and brought a lot of gifts. She also brought so many people over, and they all had to eat, and life was difficult here in You County. She discussed it with Su Yi, and after seeing her eldest brother, she would stay for a few days. Now that I'm gone, I won't trouble others here.
After Su Jing took a bath, he put on clean clothes. He wore the same clothes that Su's mother prepared for him last year. He was very economical. After coming here, all the money he had was used to subsidize the military and civilians. He relied on that every month. He earned a small salary to support himself and his two book boys.
The huge Du Shui Ling Mansion didn't even have any servants to serve.
"Miss Su, Mr. Su, I don't have anything good to entertain you two when you come to our place. Please forgive me!" the county magistrate's wife said very embarrassedly.
"Madam, this is already very rich. You don't need to take too much care of us. Just treat us like ordinary people. We can eat whatever we want, as long as we are full."
The Su family was also from the countryside two years ago and lived a poor life, so even if the conditions here are not good, they can endure it.
"Miss Su has a rich body, and Mr. Su has worked hard for the people of Xuanhe. You have come all the way, and it is really rude for you to have trouble eating and sleeping." This time it was the county magistrate who said this.
"Magistrate Ma, you don't need to be too nervous. Our whole family comes from poor families and has lived through even poorer times. This is already a great deal. You and your wife don't need to blame yourself."
Su Jing is a relatively down-to-earth official. He is a fifth-grade official and has no airs. He can still mingle with the people. As the saying goes, the first level of officialdom is overwhelming. Even Magistrate Ma did not feel anything in front of him. Coercion.
"Master Su, you are truly a rare and good official. Yuying gives you a toast!"
Ma Yuying picked up her wine glass, blushed, and looked at Su Jing lovingly.
Su Wan and Su Yi were both here, but she only had Su Jing in her eyes, and it was inappropriate to only toast him with wine.
When the county magistrate's wife saw this, she also knew it was inappropriate and hurriedly tried to smooth things over:
"Yuying, Miss Su and Mr. Su have come a long way. I would like to pay my respects to you two first."
Ma Yuying also realized that she was wrong, and her face was a little embarrassed. She looked at Su Wan and Su Yi and smiled:
"It's because Yuying is ignorant. I would like to express my respect to the two of you for coming from a long distance. It's a long journey and a long journey."
Su Wan and Su Yi were not impolite people, so they raised their glasses to her.
"Miss Yuying, you're welcome."
Ma Yuying smiled shyly and looked at Su Jing again. She deliberately sat next to Su Jing, but Su Jing deliberately leaned towards Su Wan.
She still didn't give up the idea of serving Su Jing wine alone.
Now, she has put on a pink dress again, has a few pearl flowers on her hair, and has also applied rouge. She is a somewhat cautious sister.
However, her skin is not fair, and she looks darker even if she wears such pink rouge.
"Master Su, I'd like to toast you for your hard work."
Su Jing couldn't refuse, so she nodded and smiled at her, clinking glasses with her.
After that, Ma Yuying picked up vegetables for Su Jing from time to time, but the eldest brother didn't touch a bite of the vegetables he just put on the plate.
Ma Yuying's appearance is not particularly outstanding, but the eldest brother seems to be born with the destiny to attract love, and there is no shortage of girls to like him wherever he goes.
Moreover, the geographical environment in Youxian County is not good. Ma Yuying does not look as smooth as the girls from other areas in Jiangnan. Her skin is a bit rough. Sitting next to Su Wan, it can be clearly seen that Su Wan has delicate skin. Soft and tender, the kind that seems to turn red when touched lightly.
To be honest, Su Wan didn't have a good impression of Miss Ma. She didn't want anything to happen between her and her eldest brother.
Su Jing didn't want to have anything to do with Miss Ma, but the county magistrate and his wife made it clear that they knew what their daughter was thinking, but pretended that they didn't know and allowed her to develop. They only warned her if she went too far.
"Wan Wan, please change places with me. You and Miss Yuying are similar in age, so it's easier for us to talk."
