Chapter 1111 Changping County Lord 59
Of course Mrs. Zhong said yes.
The tea was brewed and served. Xining drank brewed tea, but she wasn't used to brewing tea anyway.
Seeing Mrs. Zhong having tea, she looked unconcerned. I couldn't help cursing secretly in my heart, no wonder I was bullied, so stupid.
In order to prevent this guy from forgetting about it after he went back, Hua'er didn't remind him, so she simply reminded him.
So Xining said: "After this woman gets married, it will be difficult for her to go out. If she has children, it will be even more difficult to go out. It seems that you have never been to your mother's hometown, right?"< br>
Mrs. Zhong put down her tea bowl and replied: "I went there once. My mother took me there when she was three years old. I was still young at that time and can't remember anything at all."
Xi Ning quickly said: "Your grandma is already in her seventies, so she might as well go there again while there is nothing else to do. Don't worry about Mr. Zhong's money, it will be delivered as soon as possible. Besides, Mr. Huang will be worried about the future sooner or later." If you want to leave, you should make plans early.”
Mrs. Zhong thought about it, so she said: "The county master is right, the women will go back to discuss it now."
Let’s discuss it, let’s leave immediately! It's not you who has the final say at home now. Besides, shouldn't you go to your uncle's place to express your gratitude and visit your grandma, who is already in her seventies?
Xi Ning seemed to have an idea and said: "If you go early, you can go early and come back early. If you live well, you can come back after the New Year. If you don't live well, you can also celebrate the New Year and have an excuse to come back." ”
Mrs. Zhong thought about it again: "The county master is still thoughtful. Let's go back and say that we will go in three to five days. As for the moon silver, there is no salary for no merit. Since someone needs to replace it, the teacher should take it."
Finally understanding, Xining smiled and nodded.
After returning, Zhong Shuo naturally followed him. Then he told Huang Bing, who simply wrote a letter of recommendation and gave it to Zhong Shuo, asking him to try to start it if he could find a suitable place.
Zhong Shuo was pedantic and dull, and after Huang Bing Dingyou was over, he would return to the court to rearrange his official positions. After you have established your footing, find a suitable time to make a recommendation. But Zhong Shuo's current temperament and personality are not suitable for being an official, so he should find a place to exercise first.
Another student of Huang Bing's was responsible for volunteer teaching. Anyway, the words taught are relatively simple. For these ordinary people, knowing a few words is already very satisfying.
Seven days later, Zhong Shuo prepared everything, got into the carriage with Mrs. Zhong, and headed to his mother's house. After Xining got the news, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the only way to send away one by one. Not long after, when the Huns came over, the army was in chaos. In fact, she was not sure whether she could hold it, after all, she had never fought in a war.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhan came back early and said that it was her goods and bought it for the King of Han Dynasty.
When the King of Han learned that she was selling the goods in the capital, he sent someone to ask for the price and bought them together for twenty-five thousand taels of silver.
He looked at the county magistrate with his eyes glaring, looking angry. Xiao Zhan swallowed and knelt on the ground: "I don't dare to take credit. I will hand over the money in full."
"I agreed that I only wanted 20,000 taels, and I'll give you the 5,000 taels." Xining was angry about something else and asked directly: "Why didn't you say 50,000 taels?"
What, really all the remaining money belongs to him?
Xiao Zhan was surprised and happy, but he also couldn't laugh or cry, so he reported truthfully: "Your Majesty sent someone to inquire, but I dare not deceive you. The price you ask is too high."
Idiot, what a two hundred and five, a hundred and two hundred and five. But Xiao Zhan really didn't have the guts. Not only Xiao Zhan, but most people didn't have the guts to ask a high price or bargain with the King of Han. Anyway, the stuff was disposed of.
After Xining thought about it, he called Butler Lin. There was one more thing that Butler Lin needed to do the next time he went to the capital.
Half a month later, the King of Han walked back and forth, looking at the jade articles in each brocade box.
The chief chamberlain was reading the letter from the county lord next to him: "My daughter is not familiar with etiquette and does not know how useful those jade articles are. My daughter is also naughty by nature and may be damaged when used, so I dedicated them all to the king..."
< br>
All these jades, all of which were collected by the Qinling Palace, were given to him. This surprised the King of Han. Could it be because he spent money to buy all the goods as a reward?
The king of Han saw something familiar, a jade pig dragon. Mutton-fat white jade is a flawless white jade. It is said that it was a gift from the palace of the pre-Qin Dynasty. The emperor of the subjugated country liked it very much and often played with it.
Later, because of hunting and gambling, the late king gave this jade to the King of Qinling who had the most prey. He watched helplessly as the King of Qinling took it away. Unexpectedly, it turned around and was in his hands again.
Not only this, there are twenty brocade boxes containing jade congs, jade bracelets, jade pendants, jade hooks, and jade hairpins, all of which are priceless treasures. There are strict regulations on the use of Han jade, and ordinary people are not even qualified to use these things!
The king of Han touched it here and looked there. He sighed deeply. This gift was too heavy. It could be said that it gave him all the good things. If he gets hold of something in the future, he will be embarrassed to kill him!
Although the granary was already full, Xining bought some more grain after getting the money. Now all the warehouses are full, with enough food for everyone in the county to last for two years and enough supplies to last four years.
The weather seems to have finally cooled down a bit, and it has already entered winter. If the sun is still as harsh as in summer, then there is really no way to survive.
But at this time, wearing a second layer of unlined clothes is enough. Ice shop owners in the city are worried that this year’s mild winter will not even allow them to freeze. From time to time, he also laughed at the county owner who spent money to buy so many winter supplies. He was really a fool with too much money.
Xining took the letter sent by Mrs. Zhong to report that she was safe and that she had arrived at her uncle's house. When my grandma saw her, she couldn't help but burst into tears. Then she was so happy that she ordered someone to make a good room in the courtyard for them to stay.
Here in the capital, Butler Lin also brought an oral edict from the King of Han. He said that he was deeply gratified to receive the donated jades. There was no need to be so cautious. Since these jades had been given as a reward, of course they could be kept. But hospitality is hard to deny, so I will return it after playing with it for a while.
What kind of return, only a devil can believe that it can be returned.
Forget it, give it to the King of Han. If the city is not preserved, these treasures will also be looted. It is better to be in a foreign country than to stay in the palace storehouse.
In the final analysis, as long as one's life can be saved and the city can be saved, everything is just a cloud.
At this time, there were laughter and shouts outside. Xining put down the letter and asked: "What's the noise outside?"
Jing'er stood up, walked to the door, looked outside, and made a joyful voice: "County Lord, it's snowing!"
Xining stood up and walked outside the door. Sure enough, it snowed, not heavily, but it did.
Small flakes of snowflakes are falling from the sky, bringing a hint of coolness to the air.
The ground was still hot at this time, and the snowflakes fell to the ground and immediately turned into water foam.
Xining let out a long breath... It's finally snowing, and what's coming is coming soon!
