Chapter 1110 Changping County Lord 58

The person who wrote it was naturally Zhong Shuo, and Huang Bing was still in Ding You. The position of the administrator of the volunteer school was acceptable, and it was okay to polish it once in a while. But it would not be good to write such a paid speech alone.

Zhong Shuo and Miss Wang, who has become Mrs. Zhong, are also here today, sitting at the VIP table next to them, with Hua'er accompanying them.

"Hua'er, have you thought about it?" Xining asked one last time.

Miss Wang is getting married, so all the people sent before have returned. She saw that Hua'er's heart was no longer here, so she gave Hua'er a choice whether to marry Miss Wang or to stay in the county government's mansion.

To make it clear, Zhong Shuo has not yet obtained any official position. Even if he does get an official position, Zhong Shuo will probably not take a concubine given his appearance.

According to Han law, commoners could only take wives but not concubines. As for officials or those whose ancestors had official positions, they had to have been idle for many years before they could take a concubine. Even for lords and princes, there are regulations on the number of singing and dancing girls they can keep in their homes. More than one prince lost his life because the number of women in his house exceeded the limit.

"My slave has thought about it, and asks the county master to grant his permission." Hua'er kowtowed to the ground.

"Okay!" Xining sat up and said slowly as if announcing: "I will write a letter. If Miss Wang is willing, I will let you marry as Miss Wang's person. From now on, your monthly The money comes from Miss Wang, I won’t ask you any more.”

Hua'er burst into tears with gratitude: "Thank you, Lord County, if this slave is to be reborn, I would like to transform into an ox or a horse..."

"Don't be so hasty to thank me yet!" Who wants you to be reborn in the next life? Even if she becomes a cow or a horse in this life, she won't be able to stay long.

Xining hammered it out again: "Miss Wang has a soft and kind personality. She is a fickle person. You should understand that I am not! As long as you abide by your duties and have a good marriage in the future, I will make the decision for you. If there is anything wrong with you, I will make the decision for you. I will never let you go.”

Hua'er wants to marry Miss Wang, and most likely wants to be a concubine in the future. Miss Wang's fighting ability was low, otherwise she had been oppressed by her stepmother for so many years. If Hua'er had a cruel heart, I don't know how Miss Wang died.

Hua'er trembled all over and said immediately: "I will keep this in mind and will never dare to have any different intentions."

"It's best if it's like this." Xining tried his best to be kind: "You haven't seen my methods against white-eyed wolves. I hope you won't see... go on."

Hua'er's whole body tensed up and he retreated in panic. Xi Ning even wanted to touch her face. Was she that scary?

She then called the other three people who were going together and asked them who they planned to go with. As a result, both the Wu family's daughter-in-law and the Zhao family's daughter-in-law were willing to stay in the county government's mansion, but only Xiang Hong was willing to go.

Xi Ning immediately understood one thing. Even if she couldn't become Zhong Shuo's concubine, she could get in touch with many young students there, and Miss Wang also had a good personality. Zhong Shuo would leave Linyi County sooner or later, and they would have the opportunity to leave with him. So I reconsidered the tone of the letter I wrote to Miss Wang.

After Miss Wang received the letter, she thought twice and came over for a meeting.

Xi Ning made things clear, and Miss Wang finally accepted Hua'er and Xiang Hong. After all, Qiuyue next to her is too weak, and she currently has a lot of money. Hua'er can be her companion. Xianghong seems to be similar to Qiuyue, and is also an honest person, so they simply take it together.

Before Xianghong left, Xining specially called Xianghong's parents to take care of them and give them instructions. It was said that Xiang Hong came back to tell her something, but it was actually a hint that she might do something after looking at the dot paintings. They are both maids, but their natures are different. Xianghong and her parents are both servants, while Hua'er is a domestic slave who has signed a death contract. Looking at it from Xianghong, you can feel more at ease.

Hua'er lowered his head, looking humble, just like he was following her before. Xining saw this and just hoped that Hua'er could not afford to be greedy, otherwise even if she couldn't control it, the Deng family would still keep an eye on it.

After the recitation, the prizes are distributed. The prizes given out are real money, with the eleventh to twentyth place getting one bunch of silver, the fourth to tenth place getting five taels of silver, and the third place getting ten taels of silver. Let the people around you look envious.

When the second and first place were awarded, there was even more thunderous applause. That's really gold. The second place gets five taels of gold, and the first place gets ten taels. Now you've made a fortune!

But Xining was a little unhappy, because the one who won the first place was... the fourth prince Uvida!

This competition did not say that the Huns could not participate, both young and old, women and children could participate.

Unexpectedly, Uvida dared to run across to participate in the competition, and he was not afraid of being caught after being reported.

After Uvida got the ten taels of gold, he followed his previous practice and walked up to him and saluted: "Thank you, Lord County."

The corners of Xining's lips curled up, but he maintained his demeanor: "The bounty is earned based on one's ability, there is no need to thank you."

Uvida said nothing and left.

But Xining felt that he did not leave, feeling that among the crowd, there was always a pair of sharp and bright eyes like an eagle looking towards her. This feeling still existed until she got back into the car.

I felt a little angry while sitting in the car, but I quickly let go. It’s not like they broke into the city and came here to steal it. They really took the gold based on their ability. There’s nothing to be angry about.

After the game is over, when leaving the city gate, everyone will have their packages searched and saluted, and no arrow will be allowed to be taken out of the city.

Looking at a room full of arrows, they were piled from the ground to the roof. County Magistrate Zhou didn't even understand. He originally thought he was giving money to people registered in the county, but now it seems that he wants to leave arrows, everyone's arrows. What are you keeping so many arrows for? What on earth is this county chief going to do?

The following days passed happily, and the ordered spirits were already in storage. This wine is really strong. It was tested when it was received. A wooden stick was used to light the fire. If the wine can burn, it is considered qualified.

No one can understand how such a strong liquor like burning a knife can be ordered in so many jars at once. It's already late autumn, and it's still hot. I only need to wear a single layer of clothing on weekdays, and only add a thin layer of clothing in the early morning and evening. It looks like it will be a mild winter again this year. Strong wine can drive away the cold. The weather is so hot. What can we do to drive away the cold?

Anyway, there are many things that the county leader doesn't understand. People who have money are willing to burn it for fun, but others can't control it.

Xining waited, waiting silently. Butler Lin is still asked to deliver tribute sheep to the capital every month. Butler Lin will not only deliver the sheep, but also monitor the situation in baskets.

In the yard close to the County Lord's Mansion, pigeons often fly in and out. These pigeons have small bamboo tubes tied to their feet, with a piece of paper or cloth stuffed with writing on them.

She was probably too busy, so Xi Ning called Mrs. Zhong, the former Miss Wang.

After chatting about the family feud, I saw that Mrs. Zhong looked good, much better than when she was a young lady. It seemed that she was living a good life.

Xining pretended to say: "Your uncle Mr. Deng contributed a lot this time. If it weren't for the Deng family, this matter would have been difficult to handle."

"Yes!" Mrs. Zhong smiled with gratitude: "The county master and his uncle were kind to the women of the country. The women of the country will keep it in their hearts and hope that they can repay them sometime."

"There's no need to repay the favor." Xining said carelessly, "Just come and see me more often and chat."
