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 615: Grievance
Zhuang Qingning could have gone, but he was asked to go. It was obvious that he wanted him to show his face in front of the county magistrate.
This was a rare opportunity for him, the head of the village, and his son, who worked in the county government.
I have to say that Zhuang Qingning really thinks of everything for others.
What a good person! Zhuang Jingye couldn't help but give Zhuang Qingning a thumbs up in his heart.
Zhuang Jingye chatted here for a while, then left happily with the water gun drawings.
Zhuang Qingning saw Zhuang Jingye off, played with the water gun in his hand for a while, and then hurried to make another one.
After the second water gun was made, Zhuang Qingning packed up the water gun and the water gun diagram together, tied them up tightly, and went to Qingzhu Garden to find Fan Wenxuan and Chu Jinzhou, asking Fan Wenxuan to help send these things to Chu Jinnian in the capital as soon as possible.
After being awarded the title of county lady just for making a waterwheel, Zhuang Qingning felt emotional and understood one thing.
Only with merit can one secure status and honor.
But the world was at peace at that time, so there was naturally no military merit. The only contribution he could make was in people's livelihood.
If water trucks can be used for military purposes, then water guns can certainly do the same.
If Chu Jinnian could propose to mass-produce water guns and prepare a submarine fire army in the capital, it would be a great contribution to ensuring the stability of the entire capital.
The capital city is dangerous at every step. With such a great achievement, Chu Jinnian will have an extra layer of protection and be less dangerous when facing the attacks of his mortal enemies.
However, Zhuang Qingning only explained all this in the letter that was placed together with the water gun, and did not say too much to Fan Wenxuan, so as to avoid any unnecessary trouble.
He just reminded Fan Wenxuan that this item was very important and that he must send someone to go as soon as possible and hand it to Chu Jinnian personally.
Fan Wenxuan didn't know what Zhuang Qingning was planning, but Zhuang Qingning rarely asked him for help, and rarely did she do it so seriously. He immediately put on a serious expression and said, "Don't worry, Miss Zhuang. I will send someone to deliver it to the capital as fast as possible and hand it over to the eldest master."
"Thank you, Mr. Fan." Zhuang Qingning thanked him and took out the snack box he brought with him and gave it to Fan Wenxuan. "I made new taro cakes specially for you and Jin Zhou. Would you like to try them and see how they taste?"
"What Miss Zhuang made must be delicious." Fan Wenxuan hurriedly took the food box from Zhuang Qingning, his eyes misty with excitement.
It couldn't be blamed on him for not being able to control his emotions. You know, ever since Chu Jinnian started hanging around in front of Zhuang Qingning, all the food that Zhuang Qingning sent was completely blocked by Chu Jinnian, causing him to miss these foods very much but never have any chance.
Besides Chu Jinnian, Zhuang Qingning was also going too far. He used to care about him and Chu Jinzhou, but after he and Chu Jinnian confirmed their engagement, he no longer cared about him and Jinzhou. He always gave priority to Chu Jinnian in eating...
Do you think they are full from eating dog food on a daily basis and don’t need to eat anymore?
Fan Wenxuan had been unhappy about this, but now seeing that Zhuang Qingning had specially prepared food for him and Chu Jinzhou, his previous gloominess suddenly disappeared completely, and he felt that the sun was shining brightly at this moment.
Zhuang Qingning stayed in Qingzhu Garden for a short while before leaving. After Fan Wenxuan and Chu Jinzhou saw her off, they arranged for Ning Feng to deliver the things Zhuang Qingning had brought to the capital. Then they returned to the study, and the two began to share the full box of taro crisps. They also saved some for Zhuang Mingli, waiting for him to eat when he came tomorrow.
Taro crisps are as their name suggests, extremely crispy and fragrant, leaving a lingering taste in the mouth and extremely delicious.
Fan Wenxuan couldn't help but squint his eyes, and even licked the residue on his fingers, his face full of happiness and satisfaction.
Chu Jinzhou ate slowly, with his head down, and said nothing.
"Why do you look so sad? What's wrong with you?" Fan Wenxuan threw a piece of taro crisp in his hand into his mouth and asked with a frown.
"Sir, have you noticed? It has been two months since my elder brother returned to the capital, but during this time, my elder brother often sent people to send things back, but they were all for me or for you, never for Sister Ning."
Chu Jinzhou said, "But this time Sister Ning has something to send to Big Brother, which means Sister Ning has always been thinking about Big Brother, but Big Brother has never been thinking about Sister Ning."
"Sister Ning must be feeling very sad and aggrieved."
"Well, that makes some sense." Fan Wenxuan nodded.
Zhuang Qingning has always been sensible, so I think she would definitely not take the initiative to ask Chu Jinnian for things.
As for Chu Jinnian, I used to think he was quite interested in Zhuang Qingning, but now it seems that he is just a blockhead who doesn't know how to please the girl at all.
Whatever, no matter what, after all, he is quite optimistic about these two people being together, so if he can help a little, it counts.
"How about we send some gifts to Miss Zhuang in a few days, saying that the eldest master sent them from the capital especially for Miss Zhuang, so that she can be a little happy?" Fan Wenxuan suggested.
"Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking." Chu Jinzhou also agreed very much and began to discuss with Fan Wenxuan what kind of gift to give to Zhuang Qingning.
Three days later, Ning Feng and Ban Qing drove a horse-drawn carriage to the door of Zhuang Qingning's house.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Butler Feng?" Zhuang Qingning was a little surprised that two people came to look for her so early in the morning.
"Miss Zhuang." Ning Feng bowed and told Ban Qing to move the things down from the carriage. "The eldest master sent some things back. These are specially sent to you, Miss Zhuang. I will deliver them to you, Miss Zhuang."
"Come to deliver something?" There was a hint of surprise on Zhuang Qingning's face.
Ning Feng felt even more uncomfortable when he saw this.
Just as Mr. Fan and the third young master said, the eldest young master actually forgets to send anything to Miss Zhuang on weekdays. It is really unacceptable.
When the eldest master comes back next time, I’d better hint at it indirectly to prevent Miss Zhuang from suffering more grievances.
Before the eldest master comes back, they will take over the task of coaxing Miss Zhuang.
"That's right." Ning Feng replied, "The eldest master specifically asked for it to be sent over."
“But usually, anything Jinnian wants to send is directly sent by someone else. It has never been sent to Qingzhu Garden specifically and then delivered by Butler Feng.” Zhuang Qingning said.
Hmm? So, Chu Jinnian has been sending things here all along?
This time it was Ning Feng's turn to widen his eyes, and he and Ban Qing, who also had their eyes wide open, looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Since it was Butler Feng who delivered it this time, I think it must have been missed before. Let's put it in the room over there." Zhuang Qingning said this, and led Ning Feng and Ban Qing to put the things in the room together.
