Putting aside the dispute between their family and the Mo family, Mrs. Zhang must say that Xiong Feng is really a young talent with almost no shortcomings. Most women are not worthy of such a young man.
Niu couldn't help but frowned, "Is there really not one? Aren't there a lot of scholars in your village? I heard that there are girls who study and are literate. I would be very satisfied if my grandson marries a girl from a farming and reading family."

Shen Xi listened for a long time and finally understood, "The old lady wants to find a wife for the county magistrate brother in our village."
"Smart! But can you not call me Madam?" Niu was happy, but somewhat regretful, thinking that this child really didn't want to have anything to do with her.
Mrs. Zhang immediately said, "Xi'er, call me grandma."
Shen Xi glanced at Granny Zhang and called her grandma obediently.
Mr. Niu instantly smiled from ear to ear, "Okay, okay! It sounds so nice!"
With this joy, she lost another piece of gorgeous jewelry.
Mrs. Zhang hurriedly stopped her, "Old madam, please don't give her any more things. Her dowry can't even fit in the things you gave her that day! Besides, you just came back and there's still a lot of money to spend."
Not only did Niu investigate the Shen family, but Shen Dalang also inquired about the Xiong family. Mrs. Zhang still had some knowledge about the Xiong family. Even though Xiong Feng was an official now, her foundation was there, and Xiong Feng had been in the imperial capital before, so she definitely didn't have much. If you have the opportunity to make money, your family must be limited.
Niu didn't take it seriously and said casually: "My son left us some money. Over the years, my grandson has partnered with others in some small businesses in the imperial capital, so the family still has some wealth."
She didn't say what she was doing specifically, and Mrs. Zhang didn't ask.
Shen Xi took the things and thanked her obediently.
While talking, Xiong Feng, galloping on horseback, appeared outside Mrs. Zhang's house.
"Grandma, why did you go out so silently?"
Mr. Niu snorted dissatisfiedly, "You didn't listen when I asked you to get a wife. I don't like to be with you!"
Xiong Feng, one with two heads, saw Shen Xi looking at him curiously.
His eyes instantly softened, and he knelt down and asked, "Xi'er, do you welcome us to visit you?"
Everyone looked at Shen Xi.
Shen Xi pursed her lips and nodded honestly, playing with the jewelry Niu gave her, "Grandma gave it to me."
Xiong Feng was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, "You are quite honest!"
Mrs. Zhang looked shocked and patted Shen Xi gently, "This kid is kidding. The old lady is worried about the adult's marriage and wants to come to our village to inquire about it. Unfortunately, the old lady has no knowledge and cannot help. I can help the old lady. I’m afraid it’s just Su Tai.”
Upon hearing this name, the smile on Niu's face gradually solidified.
Shen Xijian said sharply: "Auntie is very powerful. She knows everything, knows everything, and has a lot of experience. The most important thing is that Auntie is very accurate in judging people! Auntie is still in the village and will go to the imperial capital in a few months. ”
After hearing this, Mr. Niu couldn't help but think wildly.
Xiong Feng muttered: "Conong Rong and I are close friends, and Mrs. Shen can be considered an elder. It's really inappropriate that we haven't seen each other for so long. I'll go and say hello to Mrs. Shen." "Feng'er." Niu said with a look on his face. Worry.
She didn't like Su Tai, or she didn't like Su Tai. At first, she despised Su Tai because she was stupid and stupid. Later, Su Tai got better, but the two families broke up and the marriage was cancelled.
She chose Mo Chunxiang as her daughter-in-law, and Su Tai married Shen Yi. She always thought that her son's life would be prosperous, and that Shen Yi would be dragged down by Su Tai and become even worse. But the fact was just the opposite. It was a complete mess, but Shen Yi became rich after marrying Su Tai.
It would be a lie to say that I have no regrets. This kind of regret is also mixed with some jealousy and unwillingness.
But she also has backbone and wants to save face. She always supports Mo Chunxiang in front of outsiders and tells everyone that Mo Chunxiang is the best. However, she was slapped hard in the face by Mo Chunxiang and could only watch Shen Yi and Su Tai rise to the top step by step.
Even if Xiong Feng becomes the county magistrate now, their family cannot be compared with Shen Yi's family.
In addition, she also knew what Xiong Kai had done because he was jealous of Shen Yi, and she couldn't guarantee that the couple would not anger Xiong Feng.
Xiong Feng gave Mr. Niu a reassuring smile, "Grandma, it's okay, I'll go there by myself."
"No! I'll go with you!" Niu took a deep breath and gritted his teeth.
Shen Xi happily pulled Mrs. Zhang, "Let's go too, I want to talk to Sister Yuezhang."
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
A group of people came to Su Tai's house.
In the huge hall, Su Tai looked at Xiong Feng who was saluting her, her expression was very calm, "Get up, you have been in office for more than a month, and you are supposed to be busy with official work. Why did you suddenly come to the village today?"
Xiong Feng respectfully replied: "Grandma came to see Xi'er. The younger generation came over after receiving the news. I heard that my aunt had not set off yet, so I came here to pay my respects."
The smile on Su Tai's face deepened a bit, "I'm determined. I'm new here, but are you getting used to it?"
Xiong Feng nodded, "The officials in the county government have not changed much, and they have all worked with uncle and Mr. Lu for many years. There is no obstacle for Yong Zhang and I to take over."
Su Tai thought for a while and reminded: "The officials of the county government are not a problem in the first place. What you have to worry about are the wealthy gentry households. The relationships between the big households in the county are intricately intertwined. Since the relocation incident broke out, there has been a faint relationship between the big households." He has the intention of forming an alliance, and his attitude towards the government is not very friendly
Mr. Lu and my husband have been supporting scattered merchants over the years. The purpose is to weaken the power of those large merchants. If they are allowed to grow, it will be very detrimental to the government.
It also involves various aspects such as grain and fields. I have sorted out some things these days. I originally gave them to Yongzhang when I wanted to leave. Since you are here today, you will take them back and check with Yongzhang first. If there is anything unclear , you can discuss it with several officials in the county government. If something goes wrong with the merchants, you can ask the Pu family in Dahe Town and the Ma family in Moshi Town for help. ”
When Xiong Feng heard this, his expression became more respectful and he nodded, "Thank you, auntie, but I am a little confused. Why do merchants have to deal with the Pu family and the Ma family? Can these two families compete with the big families in the county?"
Su Tai suddenly said, "Who asked you to compete? Which one is better, a single flower or a hundred flowers blooming? The Pu family is the first family in Dahe Town. If nothing else happens, they will marry the Lu family. Master Lu will be promoted to the governor of the state, and no one from the Pu family will dare to offend him. , the most important thing is the Pu family's duty to do things fairly.
Cooperating with them is even more powerful. If you promote those merchants who do not know their roots or have big ambitions, you are very likely to be feeding wolves and asking for trouble.
The Ma family in Moshi Town is the largest. Ma Xingteng, who is currently in charge, has a good relationship with my husband. He is also an exquisite and clear person. He is cautious, adaptable, not ambitious, and aware of current affairs.
There are still a few left. I will write them down in detail. They may be of some help to you. In addition, I would like to remind you that you should not set foot on the territory of the garrison and do not interfere with the coal mine. If the garrison is involved, please contact Commander Xue as soon as possible. , it is most appropriate for Commander Xue to handle it. "(End of Chapter)
