"Your humble servant pays respect to you..." The county magistrate lifted the hem of his robe and was about to kneel down to salute, but was gently stopped by a hand.

The clean-shaven man regained his original handsome appearance, and his tiger eyes looked intimidating without anger. Wang Dahu stopped the county magistrate who was about to salute, took back his badge, and said with a smile, "Today I have to trouble you to help me with something, so forget about the salute. You and I are family, and there is no point in kneeling here and there, don't you think so, county magistrate?"

The original county magistrate Wang had been stripped of his black veil long ago, and the current county magistrate Zhao is only in his early twenties, with a frail scholar-like appearance, but he looks good and delicate, and looks like a teenager. His figure is much thinner than that of a man, but he is also a little taller than an average boy, and in fact, this county magistrate Zhao is a boy.

If there were people in Fengdu City, they might recognize that this County Magistrate Zhao was the number one scholar Zhao who was chosen by the emperor. He was also the first scholar to pass the imperial examination in the past hundred years in Feng Dynasty. For a long time, this number one scholar Zhao was still a figure that people talked about after dinner. But for some reason, this number one scholar disappeared and never appeared in front of people again.

The brothers of Feng Dynasty could also serve as officials in the court, but they could not marry others. If they wanted to marry someone else, they had to resign from their official positions before they could marry someone else.

For thousands of years, people have believed that when a boy reaches a certain age, he must get married and have children. This is in accordance with the will of heaven. How can a boy not get married and be an official and show his face? What's the point of being an official? It's better to find a good family to marry. Marrying a good family means being a wife and being served by servants for the rest of your life. Therefore, there were few boys who took the imperial examinations in the Feng Dynasty for a hundred years, and even fewer who could pass the examinations. This Zhao Xianzhi was the only boy who passed the examinations in a hundred years.

If the top scholar riding a white horse was a boy, many families would have rushed to marry him. But he was just a boy, and I don't know how many boys' dreams were shattered. However, even if Zhao Zhuangyuan was a boy, many young men lined up to marry him. For a long time, Zhao Zhuangyuan's carriage avoided people, fearing that he would be stopped by a young man.

But because of his identity as a boy, he caused himself a lot of trouble, so that in the end he had to leave Fengdu, a place of trouble. It's just that I don't know how Zhao Zhuangyuan came to Fenshuizhen and became the magistrate of Zhao County. The twists and turns here are unknown to outsiders.

"Deputy General Wang, please come in." Zhao County Magistrate is a smart man. When he heard what Deputy General Wang said, he knew that he must have something to talk to him about today. "It's windy outside, let's go inside." He said.

It's not wrong to say that they are family members. They all serve the same master, so they are naturally family members. At first, Zhao Xianzhi didn't know why His Highness had sent him to this small Fenshui Town, but now he had some idea in his mind.

"County Magistrate Zhao, come on, let's talk inside." Wang Dahu had a natural respect for scholars. He knew that County Magistrate Zhao was a brother, and he didn't mean to look down on him. It would be much more convenient to get things done if the county master was replaced by his own people, and he was not polite to the county magistrate.

Wang Dahu didn't forget to ask the little servant to take down the things hanging on the horse. It was the bacon that Xiangnan asked him to bring to County Magistrate Zhao to give to Zhao Xianzhi. Knowing that Wang Dahu brought him bacon, County Magistrate Zhao said "You're welcome".

The two walked inside, and the little servant behind led the horse away.

The people who had gone in came out not long after, and the county magistrate personally escorted them out. "You don't have to escort me, county magistrate. I can go back by myself." Wang Dahu took his horse, climbed on it, bowed to county magistrate Zhao, and rode away.

Seeing the people leave, Zhao Xianzhi retracted his gaze, turned around, put his hands behind his back, and walked back step by step.

It was freezing outside, and it was fast to ride back to the town. Wang Dahu quickly returned to Caojia Village. He registered the household of the more than 20 soldiers he brought with him in Caojia Village. In the future, these people registered their household in Caojia Village, and they became the people of Caojia Village.

In Feng Dynasty, a household registration is extremely important to the people. Without this household registration, they cannot buy land and farm, build houses and get married. If they encounter a household registration check in the city, they must show their household registration before entering the city. Without a household registration, they cannot participate in the imperial examination, so anything related to the government requires this household registration. This household was settled in Caojia Village, and these men are the people of Caojia Village. In the future, these men can become biological children here, reproduce and live here for generations.

Seeing that Wang Dahu came back so quickly, it was windy and cold outside. Cao Xiangnan patted Wang Dahan on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Brother, you have worked hard, sit down and drink the hot tea."

"It's just a little thing, how can it be called hard work." Wang Dahu handed over the hot tea and drank it in two or three gulps. He brought his brothers here, Xiangnan asked him to take care of his brothers, and he was very careful to settle his brothers.

It was just a small matter, just a trip to Zhao County Magistrate, a small matter, it was not hard for him at all.

"Come to my house to have hot pot tonight, you guys come too, it's lively with many people, and there's plenty of meat." Cao Xiangnan knew that Wang Dahu liked to eat meat, and they hadn't sat down to eat together for a long time.

Wang Dahu and Liu Baishu had been busy dealing with and settling the men they brought since they came back, and they were never idle.

"Hahaha, okay, brother, I like your last sentence." Wang Dahu was a meat lover, and he could eat as much meat as he wanted, and he was willing to run a few more trips to the town.

It's true that the taste of this hot pot is not ordinary. Now I am drooling when I think about it. It's really been too long since I last had it. "Call Bai Shu to come together. If there are brothers who want to come, bring a few with you." However, there will not be enough space to sit if everyone is brought. Cao Xiangnan means to let Wang Dahu jump and bring a few men.

He now knows that those men are all foodies, but in this era, people just want to have a full stomach and warm clothes. And no matter in this era or in his original era, for some people, even this problem of fullness may not be achieved. So he now gives these people houses to live in, food to eat, and clothes to wear, and they are all willing to stay here and work for him.

Although Wang Dahu and Liu Baishu were in charge of these men, Cao Xiangnan also knew the general situation. The men who were arranged to work in the winery were very diligent, and he was still very satisfied with them.

The children in the house were eating steamed buns. The buns brushed with honey exuded a sweet fragrance. Xiangzi brought the baked buns to his uncle to eat.

"Okay, okay." Wang Dahu responded, took the baked buns handed over by Xiangzi, touched the child's head, and praised him. Xiangzi was embarrassed and blushed after being praised. Wang Dahu ate one of the steamed buns in his hand in just a few bites. In fact, he was also hungry. He was reluctant to eat the remaining one. He took out a piece of white cloth from his arms and wrapped it up, intending to give it to Bai Shu to eat. After doing this usual action, seeing Cao Xiangnan looking at him, Wang Dahu smiled and said, "Take it to Bai Shu, take it to Bai Shu, he likes it."

It tasted sweet, but he didn't like it. He only needed to eat one to fill his stomach. However, Bai Shu liked it, so he took it back to that person to eat. There was something delicious, and Wang Dahu was still thinking about that person in his heart. This was also a habit he had developed over the years.

"Xiangzi, go and bring everything in the basket to Uncle Dahu, so that he can take it back to eat." Cao Xiangnan asked Xiangzi to bring the remaining food in the basket. Xiangzi responded and went to take it.

"I'm embarrassed." Wang Dahu said sorry, but he also reached out to take it. He was not a polite person.

Cao Xiangnan smiled when he saw Wang Dahu's action. He knew that he and Liu Baishu were moving there to live with the soldiers. He was afraid that Wang Dahu's appetite would not be full, so he reminded him, "If you and Baishu are not full there, come to my place to eat. I don't have much else here, but I still prepare food. You can always come and eat. Don't be polite to your brothers."

"If you want to eat something good occasionally and improve your diet, you can also come to my place."

After all, there are many people there, and the food is limited. You can't be hungry, but you certainly won't be very full, let alone taste good. Liu Baishu has lost a lot of weight and his face is pale after this trip. Cao Xiangnan also saw it and wanted Liu Baishu to come over and make more delicious food for him to replenish his body.

He now knew the relationship between Wang Dahu and Liu Baishu. Neither of them tried to hide their relationship. If you paid a little attention, you would know that there was something special between them. Although this world is full of men and boys together, it is not that there are no men together. To him, the difference between men and boys is nothing more than the question of whether they can have children. There is no difference.

Qi Wanfeng over there heard what her husband said and said, "Yes, Dahu, you and Baishu can come over to eat when you have time. There's not much else, but there's always a bite of rice. Don't be polite to us."

"Okay, thank you brother, and thank you Wanfeng." Wang Dahu smiled and wrapped the steamed buns with white cloth, and returned the basket to Cao Xiangnan, saying, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Then he hurried away.

"Okay, remember to come over in the evening." Cao Xiangnan said, and didn't keep him.

"Yeah, I'll definitely come." Of course he had to come if there was food, and Wang Dahu took a few big steps and went outside, got on his horse and left.

Standing at the door, seeing the people walking away, Cao Xiangnan lowered the door curtain, turned around and touched the two little kids following him, asking them to go inside and not stand in the wind because it was cold outside.

"Let's have hot pot tonight." Cao Xiangnan said, turning around and seeing Wanfeng looking at him.

Qi Wanfeng naturally did not object, and said with a smile, "Okay, no problem, I'll go cook the soup later." He also liked to eat hot pot, and it was just right to eat hot pot on this cold day, and it would be lively for everyone to eat together.

When the children heard that they were going to have hot pot tonight, they all jumped up, and they all liked it very much.

Seeing the little ones happy, Qi Wanfeng was also happy in his heart, with a smile on his face.
