Chapter 145: County Magistrate Zheng almost jumped up
Xuanyuan Jin was strolling leisurely down the street holding Xiao Tangbao's hand, but County Magistrate Zheng in the county government office almost jumped in fright.
"What? Gold mine?!"
County Magistrate Zheng's hands trembled and his voice changed tone.
My heart was pounding and my head was buzzing.
Gold mine!
There is actually a gold mine in Fengqi County!
County Magistrate Zheng felt as if his head was hit by gold that suddenly fell from the sky, so that stars appeared in front of his eyes.
"Please look, sir."
Old Man Su took out the gold ore hidden under the backpack.
Then he took out the gold nuggets picked up by Su Laoer and Su Xiaoliu.
County Magistrate Zheng quickly closed his eyes.
There is no way, there are too many stars in front of my eyes, it’s dazzling!
County Magistrate Zheng took a deep breath.
Then he opened his eyes, picked up the gold ore with trembling hands, and looked at it carefully.
Then he picked up another piece of gold.
One of them couldn't help it and took a bite.
It's gold!
That’s right!
The corners of Old Man Su's mouth twitched.
It turns out that the county magistrate also identified gold in this way.
"It really is gold!" County Magistrate Zheng's face turned red with excitement. He could not sit still or stand still, and began to walk around in circles in the room.
Circle after circle...
He sent it!
No, it was issued by Fengqi County!
No, no, it was issued by the imperial court!
No no no! Neither!
It’s Zheng Ming who is going to get promoted and make a fortune!
The more County Magistrate Zheng thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't stop spinning.
Old Man Su and Old Second Su looked at each other. Both father and son could understand County Magistrate Zheng's mood at the moment.
only--
Mr. County Magistrate, please stop turning. I feel a little dizzy.
Old man Su said in his heart.
There was no way, County Magistrate Zheng had been walking around for almost a quarter of an hour.
"Mr. County Magistrate, would you like to... sit down and rest for a while?" Old Man Su asked tentatively.
County Magistrate Zheng: "...Hahaha...hahaha..."
Old Man Su, “…”
It feels like the county magistrate is going crazy.
"Brother Su, you are my lucky star!" County Magistrate Zheng walked up to Old Man Su and patted him on the shoulder.
He could already foresee how glorious and successful his future career would be.
Old Man Su breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the county magistrate is still normal.
County Magistrate Zheng was in high spirits and his face was full of light.
However, the gold mine matter is too serious after all, and I am afraid that the entire court will be shocked.
County Magistrate Zheng forced himself to calm down, thought for a moment, and leaned his head towards Old Man Su and his son.
"This matter is of no trivial importance and must not be leaked at all!" County Magistrate Zheng lowered his voice and said with a serious expression.
As if afraid that the wall has ears.
Little did he know that if the walls really had ears, his scream would have been heard long ago.
"I know!"
The Su family father and son nodded repeatedly, but also lowered their voices because of County Magistrate Zheng.
County Magistrate Zheng was very satisfied.
"Don't worry, Brother Su. Such a great achievement will definitely benefit you. I will definitely..."
Before County Magistrate Zheng could finish his words, he suddenly thought of Xuanyuan Jin.
"Excuse me, Brother Su, did Young Master Yang... specially send you to the county government office today?" County Magistrate Zheng asked meaningfully.
"Of course not." Old Man Su shook his head quickly, "It was just on the way, so I took Young Master Yang's carriage..."
As Old Man Su spoke, he felt that his words were inexplicably lacking in confidence.
Su Lao Er said heartlessly: "Although it's not a special trip, it seems no different from a special trip..."
Old Man Su, “…”
It seems so.
After all, they were sent directly to the gate of the yamen.
Magistrate Zheng looked at the father and son of the Su family and wondered in his heart, how did the Su family catch the eye of that gentleman?
However, when thinking of little Tangbao, County Magistrate Zheng could only feel envy.
Alas! Why don’t I have a daughter like this who is loved by everyone?
County Magistrate Zheng sighed in his heart for who knows how many times.
At the same time, I also understand that the credit should belong to the Su family, the Su family.
As a senior official, I must not conceal the Su family's achievements.
Who can blame me for having a little girl who is looked upon specially by that young master?
At this time, Tang Bao, the little girl of the Su family, was squatting next to a pile of old books, reading seriously.
Yes, just reading!
Although, everyone else, including Xuanyuan Jin, thought she was just joking.
No one would believe that little Tangbao can read.
Of course, Xiao Tangbao wouldn't be so stupid as to say anything.
Anyway, when the book came into her hands, she would hold it upright if she was interested, and hold it upside down if she was not interested.
"Take it down." Xuanyuan Jin said.
"Oh." Little Tangbao obediently turned the book over again.
She doesn't like this book and is just pretending to read it.
Xuanyuan Jin looked at Xiao Tangbao like this, and a slight smile flashed in his eyes.
The little girl looks so cute.
"Want to learn to read?" Xuanyuan Jin asked.
"Yeah." Little Tangbao nodded.
Then--
It’s gone!
Xuanyuan Jin turned around and left to find the owner of the bookstore.
Xiao Tangbao looked up in confusion and looked at Xuanyuan Jin's back.
According to the rhythm of the conversation, shouldn’t the young man’s next sentence be “I’ll teach you”?
Why did you leave?
The departed young brother Xuanyuan Jin walked up to the bookstore owner and said coolly, "I want one of each of the children's enlightenment books, and some high-quality pens, ink, and rice paper..."
Little Tangbao's face lit up with joy.
She was saying, why is there no follow-up from the little brother?
He hurriedly picked up all his favorite travel notes, miscellaneous talks, unofficial histories, storybooks, etc., and ran over.
"And these, I want them too." Little Tangbao said generously.
As if she was the one who would pay the bill later.
The owner of the bookstore looked at the old books that Xiao Tangbao brought over and said generously, "This young man bought a lot of things, so these old books are given to you, little girl."
Anyway, these books are incomplete and have been gathering dust in a corner, with no one paying any attention to them.
The owner of the bookstore was very generous and Xiao Tangbao was very happy.
Xuanyuan Jin said with a look of disdain: "If you want one, buy new ones. These are too worn out."
After saying that, he looked at the owner of the bookstore and asked, "Are there any new ones?"
The owner of the bookstore had no choice but to flip through the books that Xiao Tangbao brought over one by one.
Finally, he picked out two storybooks and said with an embarrassed look, "Sir, I'm really sorry. Apart from these two storybooks, we have new handwritten copies in our shop, but nothing else."
"Then take away these two storybooks..."
"I just want the old one!" Xiao Tangbao said quickly.
These two storybooks record the thoughts and comments left by many people after reading them, which is quite interesting.
It’s not in the new book.
Xuanyuan Jin looked at Xiao Tangbao, and Xiao Tangbao looked back at Xuanyuan Jin.
at last--
"Forget it, just pack them all up." Xuanyuan Jin said.
Little Tangbao curved his big eyes and said, "Thank you, brother."
Xuanyuan Jin reached out and gave Xiao Tangbao a slap on the head.
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
Hey little brother, are you used to fighting?
"Okay, sir." The owner of the bookstore smiled happily.
Although we sold fewer new storybooks, we could tell from the young master's attire that he was a wealthy man.
Not to mention anything else, just the high-quality pens, ink and rice paper can make him a lot of money.
The bookstore owner quickly took out the best ink sticks, wolf hair brushes, and rice paper in the shop...
Then he took out the abacus and started tapping on it.
"Sir, the total is two hundred and twenty-eight taels, six qian, and eighty wen."
Little Tangbao took a deep breath.
Robbing money!
Aren’t they just a few thin books, a few black ink strips, a few stacks of white paper, and a few brushes?
It actually costs more than two hundred taels of silver? !
She finally understood why studying was such a costly endeavor in this day and age.
Little Tangbao rubbed his chest.
Fortunately, all these old books of hers were useless.
