That night, Yue Jiuyue was prepared for another sneak attack and was also worried that Xiaoman'er might get a fever, so she didn't sleep a wink all night.
Unexpectedly, Xiaoman'er didn't practice kung fu in her dream, which surprised Yue Jiuyue. After the New Year, she's grown a year older, and she's changed so much?
Xiao Man'er didn't have a fever during the night. After Yue Jiuyue finished breakfast in the morning, she handed Xiao Man'er over to Lin Chaonan and Lin Chaobei and went back to her room to catch up on sleep.
"Mother! Mother! Get up quickly! The magistrate is here!"
Lin Chaobei slammed the door shut, startling Yue Jiuyue, who was sleeping. She felt as if she had fallen off a cliff and had nowhere to hold on, so she woke up immediately.
"Mother! Mother! The magistrate is here! Wake up quickly! Hurry, Mother!"
Lin Chaobei was still banging on the door; you could tell from the sound that he was extremely anxious.
"It's up, it's up."
Yue Jiuyue rubbed her aching and throbbing head and responded impatiently.
It's just the county magistrate coming; he's not here to give her money. What's there to get excited about?
Yue Jiuyue closed her eyes and began to comb her hair. She can now easily tie a simple bun; she is no longer the clumsy person who couldn't even braid a fishtail braid herself.
After washing up and putting on a straw hat to shield herself from the sun, Yue Jiuyue followed Lin Chaobei listlessly up the mountain where Magistrate Tang had gone.
There was no way around it; she was getting old and couldn't stay up late, especially all night—it was practically killing her!
"Greetings, Your Excellency!"
Although Magistrate Tang always said there was no need for excessive formalities, it's never wrong to be overly polite. Even if her manners were somewhat awkward, at least no one could find fault with them. She didn't want to get used to not bowing to Magistrate Tang in the future. If she were caught doing this again, being beaten would be the least of her worries.
"Madam Lin, there's no need for such formalities. You don't need to bow to me."
This old lady is his "achievement"! Of course, one should speak gently and treat "achievements" with a good attitude.
Yue Jiuyue didn't say anything, just followed behind the crowd, yawning one after another, listening to their questions and answers. The one asking the questions was naturally Magistrate Tang, and the one answering the questions was either Village Chief Lin or Lin Chaonan and Lin Chaobei. They went from one mountain to another, and finally went to Dongling for a round trip, only returning when the sun was high in the sky.
It's lunchtime, so naturally we should politely ask everyone to stay for lunch.
"Alright, we'll be troubling Madam Lin today."
Magistrate Tang shamelessly agreed.
He wanted to find out what food other people ate besides the village chief's family, because the village chief's family would definitely give them the best food, while other families certainly wouldn't have any extra food for him, even if he would pay for it afterward.
This time it just so happened to be noon, and Yue Jiuyue's family definitely hadn't prepared in advance. Even though he knew that Yue Jiuyue's family was rich and their food was definitely good, he still wanted to see what they usually ate.
This shows his deep understanding of ordinary people's daily lives.
Could Yue Jiuyue say she disagreed?
A group of people rushed to Yue Jiuyue's house again. Because Liu didn't know that so many people would be eating lunch, and the lunch she made wasn't enough for everyone, she continued to cook.
Meanwhile, Magistrate Tang and his group went to the west side of the courtyard to check on the cattle, horses, dogs, chickens, and rabbits.
