The entire village shakes their heads at Zhuang Qingning - an orphaned girl who, after recovering from illness, stubbornly registers as a female household head instead of living with her uncle.
...Chapter 608 Jealousy
Just like He Shi was terrified at first and stuttered when she saw Chu Jinzhou and Fan Wenxuan, but later she found that they were both kind-hearted people and gradually became more comfortable with them.
Later, the villagers got used to her being the same as usual, so naturally she became as easy-going and natural as usual.
Zhuang Qingning breathed a sigh of relief when he thought of this.
After all, she still likes the life in the village and the hardworking and kind villagers who trust her and absolutely support her.
Zhuang Jingye saw Zhuang Qingning's solemn expression gradually ease, and he couldn't help but grin, "Just listen to me, it's right."
After all, he is the village head and has a lot of experience.
"Yes, yes, what the village head uncle said is right." Zhuang Qingning also smiled.
"Hehehe, since you think what I said is right, then Ning girl, please do me a favor." Zhuang Jingye scratched his ear, and the whole person seemed to become a little embarrassed.
"What's up?"
"Can you write something for me?" Zhuang Jingye said, "Any words are fine, any size is fine, just write a few that you feel comfortable with, but remember to write your name at the end."
"You can't just write this word casually. Even if you write it casually, you have to tell me what this word is used for, so that I can think about which direction to write it." Zhuang Qingning asked.
"It really does matter what you write."
Zhuang Jingye felt more and more embarrassed, and explained, "To be honest with you, little girl Ning, I am going to find a paperhanger to frame the words you wrote for me and hang them in the ancestral hall in our village. I will also tell my descendants about it in the future."
"Look, this is the title personally conferred by the Emperor and written by the Princess of Hening. She is from our village. From now on, no one should think that working on the land or doing small business is shameful. It is not as prestigious as studying and learning. There are top scholars in all 360 professions. If you grow crops well, you can still have a bright future."
This statement was very pertinent, and Zhuang Jingye spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice, with a bit of the high-spirited spirit of a man who was full of ambition.
Zhuang Qingning's smile deepened. "Since the village head uncle has said so, I will write... well, God will reward hard work."
Although it is a bit clichéd, the literal meaning is excellent, and the more conventional something is, the less likely it is to be found fault with.
"God rewards hard work. Hmm, that's right. As long as an honest and hardworking person does enough work, God will definitely not let him suffer. This is a good word, a good word." Zhuang Jingye clapped his thigh and praised.
"But we don't have such large paper and pen at home. When I have free time, I will go to the town to buy them and then send them to you, uncle the village head, when I finish writing." Zhuang Qingning said with a smile.
"I've already asked you to write, so I can't let you pay for this." Zhuang Jingye waved his hand hastily, "Don't worry about the paper and pen, little girl Ning. I'll prepare it and send it to your home when the time comes."
"That's fine. Just wait for the village head uncle to come see me when he's free." Zhuang Qingning agreed readily.
After talking for a while, Zhuang Jingye saw that it was getting late, so he went back to have lunch.
Zhuang Qingning walked her to the door and came back. Xiangqiao was already preparing lunch, making the steamed noodles that Zhuang Qingning liked very much.
She then took some kimchi out of the jar and prepared to eat it with the steamed noodles later.
"Miss..." Xiang Qiao hurriedly stopped her, "County Lady, let me do it."
"What's the matter with the county lady or not? Just call me Miss from now on. It's the same as before, so it will be the same in the future." Zhuang Qingning said with a smile, "You watch the fire, and don't use too much vegetable soup for the steamer noodles. The noodles will be too wet and they won't taste good."
"Yes." Xiangqiao agreed hastily and went to check the fire in the stove and the bean sprouts, pork belly and vegetable soup in the pot. - In the next few days, as Zhuang Qingning guessed, when people in the village saw her, they blurted out "Ning girl", and then seemed to remember her current identity, and hurriedly changed their words, and even knelt down to pay their respects.
Zhuang Qingning had to try to dissuade him in a hurry, and she had to say a lot of words to persuade him, and she even "threatened" others that if he continued to do so, she would no longer live in the village.
But Zhuang Qingning was the lucky star and god of wealth in the village, and she was also the benefactor who enabled the villagers to live a good life. No one dared to do that, and even less wanted to anger Zhuang Qingning and leave. Naturally, the villagers listened to and did whatever she said.
The villagers no longer dared to bow and say flattering words in front of Zhuang Qingning, nor did they dare to treat her as a county lord.
And Zhuang Qingning went about his daily business as usual, going to the workshop, picking vegetables, chatting with people...
In short, there was no difference from before, as if her being conferred the title of County Lady had never happened.
When everyone saw Zhuang Qingning like this, the slight fear and discomfort they had felt because of her being the county lord almost disappeared completely.
In just a few days, the entire Enji Manor, and those who were familiar with Zhuang Qingning, were able to talk, chat and joke with Zhuang Qingning normally as before.
Seeing this, Zhuang Qingning felt much more relaxed and was busy shuttling back and forth between the workshops.
At this moment, Xu Zhengping is also very busy.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
In addition to the daily official duties in the county government, he was also responsible for supervising the construction of the Hening County Lord's mansion.
A county lady emerged in the county, and this county lady deserved the title because of her great contributions to the people. Xu Zhengping supervised the matter and spared no effort. He tried his best to renovate the mansion to make it comfortable and elegant, so that Zhuang Qingning could live more comfortably when he came back to live there.
Knowing that Zhuang Qingning liked flowers, plants and trees, some people even contributed money to help Zhuang Qingning find some flowers and trees to decorate the yard.
The rest was done according to the regulations that a county lord should follow, plus some things that Chu Jinnian had people send to suit local conditions.
Here, the county princess's mansion was being built step by step, and over there, the news that Zhuang Qingning was named the Hening County Princess had spread to nearby counties, prefectural capitals, etc.
Almost everyone knew that a young girl who made the waterwheel was named a county princess by the emperor and enjoyed supreme honor, and Zhuang Qingning's story became a topic of conversation among people after dinner.
Some people praise Zhuang Qingning for being worthy of the honor, while others envy her good luck.
But some people are jealous of this.
Zhuang Qinglan is one of them.
He got up in a rage early in the morning and smashed the teapots and teacups in the room, even the vase on the table.
Looking at the room full of broken porcelain pieces, the maid was shocked and frightened, and quickly told Zhuang Qisheng about it.
