Chapter 264 Nobleman

Speaking of which, Zhuang Jingye had never seen the county magistrate's calligraphy before. Now, because Zhuang Qingning was the warm-housekeeper and had done so many things in the village, he asked Zhuang Le'an to ask the county magistrate to write a calligraphy.

In this way, it not only praises Zhuang Qingning for helping the villagers get rich, but also shows that he, as the head of the village, is capable and well-connected, and can even get the county magistrate's calligraphy.

Zhuang Jingye thought this was indeed a very good plan.

"Dad, let's not talk about this for now..." Zhuang Le'an wiped his sweat.

When Zhuang Jingye heard this, his face suddenly darkened, "You little bastard, what do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean by let's not talk about this for now? Did you not ask for the county magistrate's calligraphy at all?"

Seeing Zhuang Le'an's attitude of not refuting at all, Zhuang Jingye felt that his guess was right. He was full of disgust for Zhuang Le'an in front of him. He stretched out his hand and gave him a slap in the face, "Look at you, what can I say about you? You always say that you are in front of the county magistrate, this is a reward from the county magistrate, that is given by the county magistrate, and now you can't even ask for a calligraphy?"

"Tell me now, are all the things you said on a daily basis false? Are all those things used under the county magistrate's name to fool your father and me? Do you think that I, your father, am a three-year-old child who could be so easily fooled by you?"

"This time..."

Zhuang Jingye thought of the boast he made in front of those people just now, and he became more and more anxious, "I'm afraid your father's face will be completely disgraced by you, a bastard!"

"Dad, Dad, don't worry."

Zhuang Le'an, who was scolded so much that he couldn't get a word in, finally found a chance to speak and said hurriedly, "This is not what you think."

"Why is it not what I thought? What else can I do now? This is a fact that happened before, how could it be false? This time, your father lost such a big person, did you see that?"

Zhuang Jingye stretched out his hand and slapped his cheeks, "Did you see that? You bastard, you are just letting your father's face be beaten in front of others. Not only did you beat him, you also tore his face off and threw it on the ground..."

"Dad, County Magistrate, Lord Ding is here..."

"Throw it on the ground and step on it hard..."

Zhuang Jingye was stunned. "What did you say? Lord Ding is here? Is this true?"

"It's absolutely true!" Zhuang Le'an said, "Master Ding is almost here, I sneaked over here to let you guys know, go and greet him quickly."

"Okay, okay, I got it." Zhuang Jingye's nose turned red with excitement, and he rubbed his hands nervously, "I didn't expect that Lord Ding would come here in person..."

I really didn't expect that he was so important. Originally, he just wanted to ask for a calligraphy, but this time he actually invited a living person.

From now on, his prestige in the village will be even stronger! "Yeah, I didn't expect that Mr. Ding..."

"Silly son, there are many things you haven't thought of." Zhuang Jingye patted Zhuang Le'an on the shoulder, "I'll go tell the villagers, you don't have to sit idle, go and lead the way quickly. This is the first time that Lord Ding has come back to our village, I'm afraid he is not familiar with the road. Don't take a detour, it's sunny here, or he'll get a heat stroke."

"Yes, then I'll go quickly." Zhuang Le'an agreed and hurriedly turned back.

After running a few steps, he stopped and looked back, only to see Zhuang Jingye walking into the yard with a smile on his face.

Somehow, he always felt that something was wrong with his father, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Forget it, never mind, just go and lead the way.

Zhuang Le'an trotted to pick up Ding Gaochang.

Zhuang Jingye returned to the yard excitedly and cleared his throat: "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet, and listen to me first."

With the words spoken by the head of the village, those who were originally laughing and talking noisily now stopped talking and just looked at Zhuang Jingye with their eyes blinking and their ears perked up to listen to what Zhuang Jingye had to say.

"Today is the grand day of Ning's housewarming. To congratulate Ning on her move into her new home, I specially..."

"Oh no, today a distinguished person is coming to visit Miss Ning's home. As for who this person is, there is no need to speculate. Just follow me out and you will know at a glance."

It is better to save this face quietly.

If we say that he was specially invited, it would seem too deliberate to show off.

It would be better not to say it so clearly. Just now, I said that I had invited a treasure as a gift for Zhuang Qingning's warm room. This was enough groundwork. Now that everyone saw Lord Ding coming, they naturally wouldn't think of anything else and would only assume that it must have been specially invited by him.

After all, in the entire village, apart from him, no one else could invite someone like Ding Gaochang.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

When other people mention it unintentionally, their envious eyes and astonished tone will definitely be much better than him saying it so bluntly now, and he will feel more relieved in his heart.

How could he be so smart and so good at doing things? Zhuang Jingye raised his chin proudly, walked up to Zhuang Qingning, who was as surprised as everyone else, and whispered with a smile, "Come on, Ning girl, go and take a look at the door. This is a big gift I specially prepared."

"Oh?" Zhuang Qingning became more and more curious about who Zhuang Jingye had invited, so she stood up and led the other people in the yard to the gate together with Zhuang Jingye.

Ding Gaochang's carriage had stopped next to Zhuang Qingning's house under the guidance of Zhuang Le'an. When he got off the carriage, he saw some people looking at him in surprise.

"Master Ding?" Zhuang Qingning was surprised and delighted. "Why are you here?"

"Miss Zhuang." Ding Gaochang bowed. "I have been wanting to find a time to thank Miss Zhuang, but I was too busy with the county office and couldn't find the time. Now I heard that Miss Zhuang was warming up the house today, so I hurried over to congratulate her on her new home."

"This is a pair of blue and white porcelain vases that I gave to Miss Zhuang. These are a scroll written by Lord Xu himself, as well as a set of blue and white tea sets. He specifically asked me to bring them to Miss Zhuang to express his gratitude to her and to congratulate her on her move into a new home."

"Thank you, Lord Ding, and thank you, Lord Xu." Zhuang Qingning hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

"Miss Zhuang, please don't be polite." Ding Gaochang stretched out his hand to stop her.

"I came here today because of my friendship with Miss Zhuang. There is no such thing as the relationship between the elder and the commoner. In terms of age, I am afraid that Miss Zhuang calls me uncle, but today we are just uncle and nephew. Please don't be too polite, because empty etiquette will only disturb everyone's interest."

Zhuang Qingning knew Ding Gaochang's personality, so he nodded when he heard him say that. "Yes, Uncle Ding, please come in quickly and take a look at my new home. We will also have a tofu feast at noon today."
