Chapter 1060 Changping County Lord 8


Chapter 1060 Changping County Lord 8

It's not the time to go out on the street yet, it's not the time to meet Uvida yet. Since you will meet Uvida sooner or later, let's meet him. Sometimes, it just happens, whether you think about it or not, you will encounter it.

Xining threw the bamboo slips on the table over and said angrily, "I'm just lazy and shopping, so I know you guys are restless. I'll take you out in a few days."
< br>

"I would like to thank the county master for his kindness." The maid picked up the bamboo slips from the ground with a smile, and suddenly had an idea: "If the county master wants us to throw the pot, please."

"Toss pot?" Xining thought for a while: "Okay, this is interesting, go and get it."

The pot was placed in front of the room, and Jing'er handed it to the wooden arrow with both hands: "Please, County Lord."

After Xining took it, he threw it enthusiastically, but before he could hit it, it fell in front of the pot.

The maids were all laughing, but Jing'er raised the corner of her mouth slightly and handed another one: "The county master rarely plays, and he is not good at this. Why don't you take a second step and give it a try."

Xining took two steps forward and threw. Although the arrow did not enter the mouth of the pot, it at least touched the pot.

She smiled and turned around: "You guys come together to play. If you win, you will get a penny. If you don't win, you will deduct a penny. Jing'er, go to the warehouse and get a bunch of money. Each person will get five pence as capital. If you win, in a few days On the street, you can buy rouge pollen hair oil! ”

When the maids heard this, they immediately became happy, thanked each other, and started playing hut with the county lord.

It's a pity that they usually have to accompany the county leader at all times and rarely play. Some of those whose accuracy was not stable soon lost all their five cents. As a result, the county boss rewarded them with another five coins, and they continued to play happily. The one with the best accuracy has already won twenty or thirty cents.

A young boy came in and saw the bustle in the small courtyard. He glanced at it first and then bowed: "There is a man named Zhang Liao outside the door. He says he is a retainer of County Magistrate Zhou and wants to see the county magistrate."

"A retainer of County Magistrate Zhou?" Xi Ning threw the arrow at him, and this one actually made a "bang" sound and was thrown into the air.

"Oh, the county master is really awesome, he threw himself in!" The maids around him all flattered and praised him endlessly.

Xining seemed to be in a good mood: "Since he is here, let's meet him and let him wait in the living room."

"Yes, County Lord!" The boy went out to invite someone.

"County Lord, here's another one." Jing'er handed over another one.

After Xining saw it correctly, he threw it. This time I missed, so there were sounds of regret around me, and they shouted that if they throw another one, they will definitely hit.

"No more fun!" Xining smiled and clapped his hands: "I'm going to see that retainer."

Jinger quickly whispered: "Zhang Liao."

"Well, yes, Zhang Liao." Xining walked to the outer room: "Jing'er, you go with me. The others continue to play. When you come back, I will give you a lottery and start a competition."

"Thank you, County Master!" The maids all smiled and bowed. Being able to play and make money is a good way to be talented every day.

Jing'er quickly picked up the round fan placed next to her and followed her.

"The Lord of Changping County has arrived!" With a shout, Xining walked to the living room, turned around and sat down slowly.

A young man wearing a dark floral and bird-patterned train, with his hair in a bun and a crown, bowed to her respectfully: "Greetings to the Lord of Changping County!"

"What's the matter with you?" Xining asked.

When the man raised his head, he looked great!

There are actually such handsome and handsome men in this small county, and they are dressed just like the literati in the capital.

After the man raised his head, he looked at her with a smile on his lips, as if with a bit of pride, letting the county magistrate take a closer look.

Xining looked at him and asked calmly one by one: "Are you okay?" My sister came here to complete the task, not to see handsome guys. Besides, I have seen all kinds of handsome guys and beauties in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, and even extremely handsome beauties. How can one still be tempted by ordinary people?

The man didn't have any embarrassment. He thought that the county magistrate was well-informed and had seen a lot of handsome men. If beauty is not enough to make the county take the initiative, then let's change the talent.

Respond immediately: "My name is Zhang Liao, and I am a retainer of County Magistrate Zhou. I have heard of the reputation of Magistrate Changping for a long time, and now I come here to recommend myself."

Xining gently shook his fan, with a smile on his face: "It has only been a month since I was granted the title of county lord, but my fame has already been so great. Has it spread to Linyi County in the border area?"

Zhang Liao was stunned. Isn't he good-looking enough to attract the attention of the county chief?

I heard the county head say: "You are County Magistrate Zhou's retainer, and it is not convenient for me to take away people's talents. Besides, I have nothing to do here that requires the advice of my staff. If there is nothing, I won't give it away!"
< br>

Jing'er watched from the side. The county leader was still sitting and waving his fan, but he didn't say the word "see off guests".

When Zhang Liao heard this, he quickly said: "I heard that the county leader ordered people to purchase melons and send them to the capital."

Xining shook his fan and sat there. After a while, he said: "Continue!"

It seems that this county boss is difficult to deal with, and he doesn't seem interested at all. Zhang Liao then continued: "The capital is half a month away from here. If it is windy or rainy, it will take even longer. And the melons here, even if they are half-ripe, will be nearly half-ripe when they arrive in the capital. I am not talented, but I have Roads can shorten journeys.”

Xining said lightly: "Tell me and listen."

Zhang Liao saw the map next to him. Although the map showed a smaller scale, it was enough. So he walked over and pointed widely, which could fully show his tall figure: "The carriage can start from the west gate via... and arrive in two days..."

Just go inland first and then take the water route.

Xining continued to shake his fan and listen, watching Zhang Liao pointing at the map as if he was offering a treasure, and talking non-stop with great air.

Are all diners in this era like this? He has an unruly arrogance and the arrogance of a scholar.

Zhang Liao put down his hand: "In this case, it won't take half a month, but only seven to ten days to reach the capital!"

"Okay~" Xining finally smiled and placed the fan on his legs: "Sure enough, he is a talented person and knows the terrain well."

Zhang Liao smiled and bowed: "The county master saw the smile, but I am willing to follow the county master and do the hard work of the dog and horse."

Xining seemed to ask kindly: "What should County Magistrate Zhou do?"

Zhang Liao was extremely confident and confident: "County Magistrate Zhou is a minister, and the county lord is of royal blood and has a majestic family. If I am a guest of the county lord, how can County Magistrate Zhou not let me go?"

"Yes!" Xining nodded, looking embarrassed again: "If you accept retainers privately, you may be suspected of forming a party for personal gain."

Zhang Liao was stunned. This charge seemed a bit big.

Xining thought for a while: "Otherwise, I won't accept any more customers, and I still need a steward. If Mr. Zhang doesn't dislike it, how about becoming a steward?"

Zhang Liao was overjoyed and immediately knelt down and bowed: "I am willing to be the county leader and go through fire and water."

Xining nodded: "My housekeeper here has five taels of silver, and I will also give you five taels."

It’s only five taels. Do you know that diners’ salaries are very high?

But at this point, Zhang Liao had no choice but to bite the bullet: "Thank you so much, Lord County, for your generosity."
