323. The eleventh trip to Beichang
Master Chaoyun is simply a god.
At least, this is true in He Zijin's eyes.
With Master Chaoyun's appearance in the past, no matter how imaginative He Zijin has, he cannot understand how Master Chaoyun got what her treasures like.
He Zijin told A Nian about this question. This time, A Nian had a different view with Sister Zijin, who had always been in harmony. A Nian said, "In the past, when we went to Master Chaoyun's Taoist Temple, Master Chaoyun also liked us very much. He always liked children."
He Zijin wanted to say that she is not a real child! However, when the words came to his mouth, He Zijin thought that he was not the child at that time. After thinking about this, He Zijin turned around and said, "We were all sensible at that time, and Aye and Axi are still all kids."
A Nian was very confident, "Our treasures are attracted to others." This is called "Great from the best of one's own aspirations!"
Of course, He Zijin never admits that he is jealous because his treasures are now being bribed by Master Chaoyun.
Especially, she thought she was also a good teacher to educate her. She had raised her babies in the past and was very attached to her. If she was not careful, she saw that these two little ones were about to betrayal.
But then again, there is a super nanny, Master Chaoyun, who is actually quite good. At least, He Zijin has time to work hard to do something else. For example, when the May grain tax is paid to the prefecture of the state, A Nian is going to go in person, and the young couple have already discussed to go there together. He Zijin has to prepare Lilly for the prefect Zhang and Governor Xie in advance. I heard that the prefect Zhang and Governor Xie have always been honest. This courtesy is not too heavy, but it cannot be too simple. At least, it must be in line with the status of A Nian as the county magistrate.
He Zijin has been through many favors since he was a child. Later, He Gong'an, the father-in-law and son-in-law, became an official in the imperial examination. It was a ceremony exchange between Hanlin, or a gift for three festivals and two birthdays. He Zijin also passed by. There are folk rules among the people and official rules in the officialdom. He Zijin first asked A Nian, "I don't know how many rituals I have to prepare when I go to the prefecture? How to prepare the law?"
A Nian said, "Don't worry, I'll ask Ma County Ma, Xu County Zundao has left a secret account for the first time."
He Zijin asked, "How come there is a secret account?" There is no such thing in the imperial capital, it is just to inquire about the preferences of the upper peak.
A Nian smiled, "The place is different from the emperor. Although we are the heads of a county, we have many relationships to move upwards. Not only are the two prefects and governors, but the rest of the other two adults, the Tongzhi and the magistrate, also have to move around. In addition, the households in charge of the granary must also be managed."
Seeing that A Nian had a clear idea, He Zijin was not anxious and said, "You have a sure letter, tell me."
A Nian naturally responded.
As soon as A Nian asked Ma County Ma, Ma County Ma immediately smiled, "I was thinking about discussing this matter with the county master. I wonder how to prepare this gift?"
A Nian asked with a smile, "How did you prepare for it in previous years?"
County Ma said, "If lord rest assured, let the lower officials take charge of this matter."
A Nian said, "This is just right. Now the county school has summoned many elementary school students to arrange. I am afraid that I will not be able to get out of here, so I entrusted all the grain taxes to Ma County Chief Ma."
County Ma was eager to do so, and responded with a loyal and earnest look on his face. A Nian sent County Ma to the ground. A Nian failed to get the secret account out and talked about this with Sister Zijin in private. He Zijin said, "There is no need to be anxious about this matter. I just asked Mrs. Duan to buy some red ginseng."
A Nian couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing to buy red ginseng?"
"Make some facial fat, and I made some with red ginseng last time, and I just used it up."
When A Nian asked about Mrs. Duan's character, He Zijin said, "He is a capable person. The account is very clear and we can tell you. When County Ma prepares the gift, you can take the gift list to me."
The young couple grew up with childhood sweethearts. As soon as A Nian heard what Zijin said, she knew that Zijin wanted to start with Mrs. Duan. A Nian said, "It just happened to give Mrs. Duan a try."
County Ma was just trying to take over power. He had not yet wanted to get A Nian off the stage. Since Jiang Ren and the rich man Ma went to Beijing Pass in Beichang Prefecture, County Ma would rather worship A Nian high. In front of A Nian, he became more and more respectful. Of course, the authority in his hand was not allowed at all.
It depends on what Ma County Ma said. It is probably to regard A Nian as a Buddha in the temple. It is okay to burn incense on weekdays, but you must not come down to earth.
A Nian couldn't see through the meaning of Ma County Ma. A Nian did not care about the trivial matters in the county, except for the busy county school affairs that he had on weekdays. At most, he just gave the rest to Ma County Ma.
County Ma was extremely satisfied with the current distribution of power in the county government. When he went home, he could not help but ask his wife Yan to be more respectful in front of the county master. Not to mention whether Yan was a respectful person, Yan was so angry that he heard the name of the county master. He said with a stinky face, "I want to be respectful, but Mrs. County master is not willing to get close to me. She is a good woman who is the dealer now."
County Ma's lips moved and didn't say anything else. He didn't know that he knew that the county master asked his ex-wife Duan to buy red ginseng. County Ma thought that Yan had done something to mock the county master in private, but was afraid that the county master's wife had heard the news, so he refused to get close to Yan. County Ma thought that since his wife and Duan were able to say that it would be better to let Duan go around more.
Thinking of this, County Ma took some time out of his busy schedule to go to Duan to take a look at the children, and then asked about his relationship with Mrs. Duan. Duan smiled and said, "Thank you, Mrs. County, I know that I have some understanding of medicinal materials, so I just bought some red ginseng. I thought that with Mrs. County, such an identity and origin, it is also my blessing to be able to run a leg for Mrs. County."
County Ma seemed to take a sip of tea casually and said, "See what you said, isn't the county master a normal family?"
Duan smiled and said, "Why, the master doesn't know yet? It's said that the county magistrate is the queen's daughter. Think about it, what kind of identity is this!"
County Ma almost burned his mouth. Duan handed him a handkerchief to wipe the tea beads splashed from his beard and said, "You really don't know."
County Ma naturally didn't know, but if he knew, he wouldn't be so surprised!
County Ma casually wiped the water stains on his clothes, but he still didn't believe the rumor that "the empress fucked her daughter". He asked his ex-wife Duan, "In your opinion, what about this county wife?"
"No matter what, I must be poor." Duan put the tea cups on the table and said, "Although I have never seen the treasure that the Queen admired by the County Master, I saw the first gift from Sister Yan, and I didn't say anything else, just the rouge and water powder were all high-quality goods. If I were poor and had a good life without enough calculation, how could I do so generous? I have been with Mrs. County Master during these days, and seeing her dresses, I couldn't talk about luxury, but there was nothing that was not exquisite. Once, the purple-smoked silk-belt skirt worn by Mrs. County Master, and the material
, I have only seen Xu's shop once in the quid, saying that it was flowing out of the weaving workshop on the south side, and it was the same as the material on the inside. But the material of the dress of Mrs. Zun of the County is three points better than what I have seen at the quid. Think about it, when we were in our hometown, in the countryside, all the families with some money were wearing gold and silver, but when I got here, I saw some worldly appearances. Not to mention Shahe County, but in the small place, I have also seen some servants in the quid, and I heard that those who are truly knowledgeable are not a way to dress up with gold and silver. Think about it."
County Ma said directly, "You are right." After hearing Duan's argument, he thought of the little words that Yan had passed on in the past. If the county master or Mrs. Ma, if the county master knew, not to mention the county master, even an ordinary person would be afraid that someone would not be happy when he knew that someone was talking about his gossip behind his back.
At present, Yan was unable to count on him. County Ma reminded Duan, "Since the county wife has something to tell you, you must be careful."
Duan smiled, "It's not necessary that you explain this. But you, even if Sister Yan is a broad person, you can't always come to me. If you have anything, send Xiaowen over and tell me." Xiaowen is the closest relative of County Ma. He has been with Magistrate Ma since he was a child, and he is the most loyal.
County Ma said, "I'm here to ask, how is Brother Liang in the academy recently?" Liang Ge'er is the eldest son of County Ma and Duan, and now he is studying at Beichang Prefecture Academy.
Duan said, "It's still possible, but the gentleman said that he would have to wait a little longer if he wanted to take the exam for a scholar."
County Ma, Magistrate Ma, asked Duan to find the article that his eldest son had done first, and after a look, County Magistrate Magistrate Magistrate said perfunctorily, "It's still good." Duan smiled and did not mention his eldest son's homework. If the eldest son was extremely talented, he was afraid that this person would not have been so easily at the beginning.
County Ma left behind two bags of silver and left.
Duan ordered the maid to put away the silver and wait until the red ginseng arrives, and then go to the county master to flatter him.
He Zijin's impression of Duan is not bad. Now He Zijin has learned some skills in identifying red ginseng with Doctor Dou. Anyway, based on He Zijin's identity, it is impossible to resell red ginseng. When Duan saw that He Zijin was interested in red ginseng, he was happy to give some tips and tell some tips. After learning that He Zijin wanted to use red ginseng as facial fat, Duan said, "The wind in Beichang Prefecture is strong and the weather is severe. When I first came here, I had to apply some lard in winter so that my hands would not be damaged or cracked. Now I am using the Jin family's facial fat cream, but it is too oily. Once the weather is warm, it will not be used well."
He Zijin smiled and said, "I made two boxes a few days ago. This thing will not be stored for a long time and will be used up in a month, otherwise it will be difficult to use. Since that's the case, I'll give you two boxes this time."
Duan smiled and said, "Isn't this my blessing from you?"
"That's the heretic."
Until early May, County Ma collected the summer grains almost the same. The county prepared the courtesy for the prefecture. Ah Nian was given a gift list and asked Jiang Ren to face the items on the list, and then handed the gift list to Sister Zijin. When Duan came to pay his respects, He Zijin took two boxes of facial cream and cream to her, and talked about preparing gifts for the prefecture. Duan was such a clever person. Even if he divorced Ma County Ma, he would live a colorful life. How could he not see what He Zijin meant? However, Duan did not expect that He Zijin would talk about preparing gifts for the prefecture in front of her. After all, in the eyes of the people of Shahe County, she was still the ex-wife of Ma County Ma, and she was based on Ma County Ma's side in Shahe County.
But how could the county wife ask her about the New Year ceremony for Shahe County to the prefecture?
However, since the county master asked, Duan could not think too much, so he took the gift list from the county master and looked carefully. He Zijin couldn't see anything wrong with this gift list, and A Nian couldn't see it either. They had just arrived in Shahe County, but Duan understood it at a glance. He secretly cursed the bitch named Ma, and wanted to cheat Jiang Xiaoxian Zun on this, and he was willing to do whatever he wanted, but he must not implicate the mother and son. At this moment, Duan already understood the thoughts of County Ma. He came to the county magistrate to give gifts to the officials of the prefecture. There was no difference in any position or any specifications.
It is certain that Jiang Xiaoxian Zun has a background. Those with the surname Ma do not have to pull Jiang Xiaoxian Zun down, because when Xuxian Zun turned aside, the surname Ma did a lot of activities, just to compete for the position of county priest, but he was just a sect. A big county like Shahe County is the seventh rank, how can he get a disciple to do it? The surname Ma failed to become a county priest, and now he was dragged down Jiang Xiaoxian Zun down, but he still couldn't become a county priest. At present, he has not heard that Jiang Xiaoxian Zun competes for power with the surname Ma, and it is precisely because of this.
The party with the surname Ma would draw up such a gift list. The gift to the governor is too thin, and the prefect is too weak. Moreover, the Tongzhi is a noble man and hates gold and silver the most. What does this person with the surname Ma mean? The etiquette here of the Tongzhi is well-behaved. As we all know, Zhou Tongzhi is a hot-hearted person. If something is not in line with his heart, no one dares to make any trouble with Zhou Tongzhi. Otherwise, once Zhou Tongzhi breaks out on the head of the county magistrate, he will inevitably involve the Ma.
