Chapter 32: Changsheng Shengqi's First Talk about Women's Studies
Guan Qingrui heard the voice behind him and turned around to see Xu Nian. He called out in surprise, "Prince!"
Luo Jinan turned around and saw Xu Nian who was looking at him and hurried over.
"Why are you back again?"
Xu Nian felt a little complicated at this time, but he still handed the rabbit over and said, "This is for you. It should help your cold."
Luo Jinan noticed that Xu Nian's expression was a little strange. Just when he was about to ask, he saw Xu Nian hand over the hand warmer in his other hand.
"Thank you, Master Mu. Bye."
Luo Jinan's expression changed, and he grabbed Xu Nian who was about to leave, and said coldly: "You guys get out of the way."
As soon as Guan Qingrui saw the prince's expression, he knew that he was really angry, so he pulled Mo Yu, who was still in a daze, and walked up the mountain.
County Magistrate Wu also showed interest, bowed, and led the master down the mountain.
After everyone left, Luo Jinan also let go of Xu Nian's hand.
"Why do you call me Master Mu?"
Xu Nian muttered to herself, she was not wrong in calling him that, but she still smiled and said, "Changsheng, is it okay to call him that? Uncle Wang is still waiting for me, I don't want to keep him waiting for too long."
Luo Jinan said disdainfully: "Your smile is really ugly, take the hand warmer and go back."
Xu Nian let out a long sigh, turned around and ran.
But at this moment Luo Jinan's expression was not as gentle as before.
"Black Jade"
"My subordinates are here"
Luo Jinan looked at the figure walking away and asked, "What did you say to Miss Xu?"
Mo Yu said truthfully: "I have offended Miss Xu, and I admit my mistake."
Luo Jinan rubbed his forehead and ordered, "Go check where Miss Xu is and prepare the things to bring for her visit tomorrow."
Guan Qingrui wanted to persuade him, but seeing the prince's expression at that moment, he shut his mouth obediently.
...
Xu Fugui saw Xu Nian running back and said anxiously, "Don't be in a hurry, why are you running?"
Xu Nian chuckled, "I'm afraid the uncles will be frozen to death."
Wang the Hunter laughed and said, "Your uncle, I have thick skin and strong flesh."
The group chatted and laughed as they drove the donkey cart to the county town. Xu Nian put the incident behind her. She was just the daughter of a small chief secretary and could not even control her own destiny, let alone that of others.
Arriving at the county town, Xu Fugui followed Wang the hunter to sell their game, while Xu Nian carried the two rabbits to the county government office.
Mrs. Xu, who came to open the door, was obviously much more enthusiastic than last time. Xu Nian followed the same route to the yard.
Tian saw that her daughter was very happy. When she learned that her daughter had followed Wang the Hunter to Lingshan today, she gave her a severe scolding.
"Mom, my second uncle is with us, so you don't have to worry."
Tian tapped Xu Nian's head.
"Your uncle will just stay with you."
Tian really has something important to discuss with Xu Nian, and her daughter came at the right time today.
"I was just about to go back to the village to look for you. You came just in time."
Seeing that Tian's smile never stopped, Xu Nian became very curious.
"Five days from now is Madam Mei's birthday. I heard that Madam Mei likes young and fresh girls the most. On that day, all the ladies in the county government will bring their daughters to attend the banquet. Mother also wants to take you with her."
Xu Nian was extremely curious when he heard this.
"Mom, who is this old lady Mei?"
Speaking of this old lady Mei, what is amazing is not her husband or children, but her family.
The old lady's father once served as the Prince's tutor, that is, the Prince's teacher. It is said that he was also the teacher of the current King of Zhenbei.
However, after the crown prince succeeded to the throne, he retired and returned to his hometown. Master Mei never took a concubine in his life, so he had only one son and one daughter. However, the persons he arranged for his sons and daughters to marry were not of high status. For example, Madam Mei married only a teacher in a county school.
In addition to having a powerful family, Mrs. Mei also has two powerful maids who were once ladies-in-waiting in the palace.
This is also the reason why the wives of the county yamen had to bring their daughters with them, because the Fan Mansion had a private school for girls, and it was these two maids who taught the girls how to behave.
Tian had been thinking about teaching her daughter some etiquette on the way to Northern Frontier, so how could she let go of such a good opportunity now?
Although Xu Nian has no interest in these things, since he has come to live in ancient times, he still has to integrate into it.
Tian was very happy to see her daughter agreed, but she was afraid that her daughter would reject these things because she was used to freedom.
"Nian'er, why don't you stay in the county for a few days? Mother can also take you to buy some clothes and jewelry."
Xu Nian thought about it and finally refused.
"Mom, we have to bring a decent gift when we go to celebrate a birthday, right? Although we have money at home, we can't afford to buy expensive gifts. I thought I could bring my potted plants back home, as a gift to please the lucky drawer and a novelty."
This matter really touched Tian's heart. She was really worried about this birthday gift.
After this was agreed upon, Xu Nian decided to come to the county government office the next day.
Here, after Xu Nian left the county government office, he went to the agreed location to meet Xu Fugui.
Little did she know that her leaving figure was seen by County Magistrate Wu who had returned to the backyard.
He had a deep impression of the bear-like appearance of the man, and the walking posture was exactly the same, so he would definitely not make a mistake.
County Magistrate Wu quickened his pace and arrived at Qingsong Garden, which was the courtyard where he and his wife lived.
Mrs. Shen was still wondering why her husband did not go to Aunt Qiu's yard today when the sun rose from the west.
Seeing his wife's indifferent look, County Magistrate Wu touched his nose embarrassedly. He had been neglecting his wife recently.
"Master, what's the matter with you?"
County Commander Wu sat down next to Madam Shen and said softly, "Madam, this is our room. Where else can I go if I don't come here?"
Mrs. Shen snorted and laughed, not wanting to argue with him.
County Magistrate Wu's eyes flickered, and he asked Madam Shen, "Have you ever seen the daughter of Lord Xu?"
Mrs. Shen was a little puzzled, wondering why the old man asked so much, but she still replied, "I have never seen him. I heard that he only came once to deliver something. He does not live in the county government office. It seems that he lives in the village with Xu Zhubo's parents.
Sir, why are you asking this?
County Magistrate Wu waved his hand and said, "I'm just curious, just asking casually."
Madam Shen smiled and said, "Don't say that the old man is curious. I am curious too. I heard from Madam Tian that the longevity vegetables and green vegetables that are popular in this county are all grown by Miss Xu.
But I think I’ll be able to see him in a few days.”
"What do you mean?"
Mrs. Shen glared at County Magistrate Wu.
"Master, you are such a forgetful person. You forgot that Madam Mei's birthday banquet is in five days. How can Madam Tian not bring her daughter with her?"
County Magistrate Wu slapped his head and then he remembered this matter.
"This should be the first time that Mrs. Tian attends such a banquet. Please take care of them and their daughter that day."
Mrs. Shen looked at Magistrate Wu suspiciously for several times.
County Magistrate Wu was afraid that his wife might misunderstand and cause trouble again, so he hurriedly explained:
"Don't think too much, just do as I say. Maybe this Miss Xu will be our noble lady in the future."
Mrs. Shen couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart. Her husband was really becoming more and more crazy.
