Although it was given to the young master of the county magistrate's family to play with, it was actually given to the magistrate.
Those that are too ordinary will not easily attract attention, those that are too high-tech will cause malfunctions if they cannot be operated, and those that are too bright and cartoonish may not be acceptable to other people's aesthetics. And these officials don't like their children to be too much. Lost in playthings?
Mingxi made many choices and chose a clockwork music box made of walnut wood. This couldn't be wrong, right? Listening to music can also cultivate your mood.
Mingxi held the music box and happily went to Zhao Lizheng's house.
Many villagers gathered in front of Li Zheng's house!
It was a big event for the county magistrate to come to the village. Many villagers came to see the excitement. Tian Zhenzhen was also at the door. When she saw Ming Xi coming, she smiled brightly and waved vigorously. She smiled and urged: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't keep the county magistrate waiting for too long. !”
Mingxi was pushed into the courtyard gate by Tian Zhenzhen——
As soon as I raised my eyes, yo! There are so many people in the yard!
Looking into the main room, Zhao Lizheng, Mingsong, and the county magistrate's family were all inside.
This clearly shows the patriarchal preference in ancient times. When receiving important guests, Aunt Zhao, her son and his wife stayed outside the house, and Tian Zhenzhen did not dare to go into the main room.
Mingxi straightened her back unconsciously and walked into the main room holding a small and exquisite music box.
The people in the house were also looking at Mingxi. From a distance, she looked like an ordinary village woman. When she walked into the house and got closer, they realized something was different——
It's not that she is amazingly beautiful, but she has clear bones, a gentle and majestic expression, a black and clean hair, fair and even skin color, and a healthy ruddy look. The more she looks at her, the more comfortable she becomes.
The smiles on the faces of the county magistrate and the magistrate's wife couldn't help but become more genuine. They had long had a premonition that this Ming family lady was not an ordinary person, but now that they saw her, her temperament was indeed extraordinary.
"This must be Mrs. Xi." The county magistrate showed no official airs at all and bowed down to Ming Xi with a big salute. "My dear Shen Shihang, I came here to pay my respects to Mrs. Xi. Thank you madam for your help in saving the dog's life. It is a great kindness." , Shen will never forget it!"
The county magistrate's wife led a four- or five-year-old child, and followed closely to salute Mingxi. She bowed to Mingxi until she knelt down in front of Mingxi.
Zhao Lizheng was horrified to see such a big gift. Most people would step aside to avoid it when encountering such a situation, but the lady of the Ming family was really interesting, and she actually accepted it generously! She doesn't know how to be polite at all!
Zhao Lizheng winked at Ming Song: This is the county magistrate. The county magistrate salutes your sister, shouldn't you be polite?
That guy Mingsong was enjoying himself and didn't receive Zhao Lizheng's brain waves at all.
Ming Xi also knew little about ancient etiquette. She bowed slightly to the magistrate's family and said, "A commoner woman has met the magistrate, met his wife, and met the young master."
She smiled and handed the music box in her hand to the little boy next to the county magistrate's wife, "A little gadget, let's see if the young master likes it."
The county magistrate's wife hurriedly said: "How good is this? It's up to us to prepare the thank you gifts. Why should we accept the gift from you first, Mrs. Xi?"
The county magistrate's wife quickly picked up a sandalwood gift box on the table and brought it to Ming Xi with her own hands, "It's just a small gift, please accept it with Madam Xi's smile."
"Thank you madam, I'll accept it then." Mingxi took it directly without any hesitation.
She didn't know what was in the box. It was so heavy. She secretly thought that she was lucky to have picked it up quickly, otherwise the county magistrate's wife would have been more careless.
Zhao Li was blinking beside him so hard that he almost had cramps, but she didn't notice at all.
"Ahem! Let me see... why don't you sit down and talk?" Zhao Lizheng said with a smile on his face, "Your Excellency and his wife have come from afar, please drink tea, drink tea... Madam of the Ming family, you also sit down, sit here. "
Zhao Lizheng gave up the main seat to the county magistrate and Mingxi, and sat on the side.
Shen Shihang Shi Shiran took his seat and looked at Ming Xi calmly.
He didn't know anything about Mingxi before coming here. He sent someone to inquire about Mingxi's origins - she was originally from Heshang Village. She married Lin Wenxiao from Huai'an County at the age of 16 and had three daughters. After being abandoned by the Lin family, he returned to Heshang Village with his three daughters.
What is bizarre is that such an ordinary, even poor village woman, a year later, rumors spread that she had been enlightened by gods and her temperament had changed drastically!
Shen Shihang has never believed in the theory of ghosts and gods, and he hates it extremely.
There are many villains in this world who deceive and deceive people in the name of ghosts and gods. If Mingxi's medicine wasn't really magical, if something like this happened under his rule, he would definitely be arrested and slapped with a few slaps.
Regarding these doubts in his heart, Shen Shihang did not show any signs of it, and asked with a polite smile: "A few days ago, the dog's fever persisted, and several doctors were unable to do anything. Fortunately, Lady Xi gave her a magical medicine, and the crisis was turned into peace. I heard that the Ming family My ancestor was not good at the Qihuang technique, so I don’t know where Madam’s medicine came from, but it turned out to be so superb and immediate.”
Ming Xi smiled and replied openly: "A civilian woman doesn't know how to explain it. If she really wants to say it out loud, you might not believe it, sir."
Shen Shihang smiled and said: "There are all kinds of wonders in the world. If Madam doesn't tell you, how can you know that Shen doesn't believe it?"
Mingxi thought to himself: If you want me to make this up, then I will make it up.
Mingxi said: "I often have vague dreams these days. There seems to be an immortal in the dream who teaches me many things, such as why there are day and night, why there are four seasons of spring and autumn, why the sky is blue, and why the river is blue. As for Liu, I knew more and more, and my mind gradually became clearer. One day I had another dream, and there was a voice in the dream, telling me to fetch the river water illuminated by the first ray of sunshine, which could save someone's life."
Speaking of this, Mingxi paused for a moment and looked at the little boy in the arms of the county magistrate's wife with a smile, "When I woke up, I found a transparent bottle beside my pillow, so I took the bottle to the river to get water. It's strange to say , as soon as the river water entered the bottle, it changed color and smelled sweet, and then...I heard about the young master."
Ming Xi's eyes returned to the county magistrate and said: "So I think this should be due to your great blessings and the care of the gods. I really can't take all the credit for it."
Shen Shihang: "…………"
If she used this to claim credit, Shen Shihang could still suspect her bad intentions, but she took all the credit away, and he really didn't know what to say...
Could it be that there are really gods in this world? ? ?
How can it be? !
"Sir?" Seeing that Shen Shihang remained silent, Mingxi couldn't help but shouted softly, "Sir, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh..." Shen Shihang smiled faintly, "I... I just felt a little regretful just now. I thought that Madam Ruoxi knew the formula of this medicine and could prepare more magical medicine to help the world and save people. Such a great merit would be enough. Please ask the imperial court for a reward."
Ming Xi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "How would the court usually reward you in this kind of situation?"
Shen Shihang's heart skipped a beat.
He had just believed her words, but now he was full of doubts again, and asked slowly: "Could it be that... Lady Xi also knows how to prepare the medicine given by the gods?"
