Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 586

After hearing this, the county magistrate Xu dared not delay, and immediately shouted: "Prepare the horse, prepare the horse, I must hurry up and chase after him."

"Yes." The boys agreed, and hurried to prepare the horses.

Not long after, the two horses were led to the gate of the yamen, and the county magistrate Xu and Mr. Tian hurried on the horses.

Xu Dexian studied with Zou Jiang for a period of time and benefited a lot. When he learned that Zou Jiang had left without saying goodbye, he immediately rode after him.

The literati in Dachu pay attention to the six arts of a gentleman, and riding and archery is one of the must-learn homework, so the three county magistrates are all able to ride horses, and they chased them for three hours, and finally caught up with the mule cart that Zou Jiang was sitting on. .

"Uncle, stop!" County magistrate Xu shouted at the top of his voice from a distance.

In the mule cart, Zou Jiang sneered, he used to call him an old thief and an old fox, but now that he knows his usefulness, he calls him uncle.

He said to the driver driving the car, "Hurry up."

"Yes, sir." The coachman was Zou Jiang's new servant, and he was trained by Zou Jiang to be very obedient. Hearing this, he immediately whipped the mule hard, and the mule howled a few times before running wildly.

The county magistrate Xu is about to vomit blood, why is he screaming and running away?

But the horse was faster than the mule cart, so magistrate Xu and the others ran for another quarter of an hour, and finally got to the front of the mule cart, blocking the way of the mule cart.

The county magistrate Xu got off his horse, rushed to the mule cart, and said, "Uncle Jiang, stop and don't go back to his hometown. Save Xu's life!"

Zou Jiang said in a slightly surprised voice: "Master Xu, why are you here? I heard that Master Xu is going to be promoted. In the future, his official career will be prosperous and his name will go down in history. Why do you need Jiang to save you?"

County magistrate Xu was about to cry. He looked around and saw that there was no one on the official road, so he simply described the situation he was facing, and finally said: "Mr. , to save Xu from danger."

However, after hearing this, Zou Jiang said: "Master Xu is indeed not easy, but...why should I help Master Xu? Now Jiang only wants to go back to his hometown to spend his old age in peace, and Jiang will pay back the money owed to the county government. Your Excellency doesn't need it." debt collection."

After hearing this, the magistrate Xu almost choked to death, and hurriedly apologized: "Mr. Jiang, I was the one who went too far in the past. I shouldn't have misunderstood Mr. Jiang. I apologize to Mr. Jiang, and I hope you will ignore the past and help the younger generation." .”

Zou Jiang was quite satisfied when he heard that county magistrate Xu called himself a junior, but it wasn't enough.

Seeing that Zou Jiang didn't speak, the magistrate Xu said again after seeing his son coming on horseback: "You have been teaching brother Xian for almost two months, and you get along well. You don't want to see him as a grandson. Seeing that he was implicated by me, his life will not be long."

"Father." Xu Dexian dismounted, called Xu County magistrate, and said to Zou Jiang who was in the mule cart: "Grandpa Jiang, don't go, come with us to the capital. You are always alone, and you will return to your hometown for a long time." alone."

County magistrate Xu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, you are still a lonely family when you go back to the countryside. Why don't you go to the capital with our family."

County magistrate Xu glanced at his son, gritted his teeth, and said, "Brother Xian respects you very much, how about this, if you don't dislike him, how about making a god-in-law with Brother Xian and being his grandfather?"

Xu Dexian's eyes widened, he was sold by his own father just like that?His father was really afraid of death.

Zou Jiang finally spoke: "It's not necessary to recognize a god-in-law. Brother Xian is a loyal and righteous man. Even if there is no god-in-law relationship, when the old man dies, he will come to see the old man off."

Zou Jiang obviously likes the county magistrate Xu's family more than the county magistrate's family.County magistrate Xu is a rare and clean official, and Xu Dexian also values ​​love and righteousness, unlike Zou Yuzhen brothers, who are all white-eyed wolves.

And he is a widowed old man, with Xu County Magistrate's family, he can still live with his family.

Zou Jiang finally let go, and said to County Magistrate Xu: "My lord's request, I have complied."

After hearing this, County Magistrate Xu was so happy that he almost cried with joy, his life was finally saved.

Zou Jiang said again: "It's cold, my lord should go back first, the old man has to hurry."

County magistrate Xu was dumbfounded: "Mr. Jiang still refuses to forgive me?"

Why do you still have to leave? The old man is too fidgety.

Zou Jiang said: "I haven't returned to my hometown for many years, it's time to go back and have a look, otherwise I don't know when I will be able to go back when I go to Beijing with my lord."

Therefore, he left without saying goodbye today, one is to scare the magistrate Xu, and the other is to really return to his hometown.

After hearing this, County Magistrate Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and was afraid that Zou Jiang would never return. After thinking about it, he dragged his son over and said, "Brother Xian has been studying with you for a long time, and he has not improved in his homework and his way of life. At least, it’s better to let him return to his hometown with you, and he can continue to study with you.”

Zou Jiang did not refuse, but asked Xu Dexian: "Brother Xian, would you like to go back to your hometown with me to live for a few months? I will come back a year ago, and I won't let you stay in Luchang County for the New Year."

After hearing this, Xu Dexian no longer worried, nodded and said: "Brother Xian is naturally happy."

Zou Jiang smiled: "Then let's go."

The mule cart moved again, and Xu Dexian followed on horseback, heading towards Luchang County.

County magistrate Xu successfully invited Zou Jiang, he finally felt relieved, and said to Mr. Tian with a smile: "Our fate is saved."

But with a smile, his face darkened again, and he asked Master Tian: "Do you remember what Jiang Xianwei said last night, so I might as well invite Mr. Jiang last night to avoid accidents?"

Master Tian: "I don't remember, my lord remembered it wrong, probably Captain Jiang didn't say that."

"No? Could it be that he drank too much?" County magistrate Xu muttered, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had been tricked by Zou Jiang again, and County Captain Jiang seemed to know about it.

Master Tian said with a serious face: "My lord, stop thinking about it, let's hurry back, we still have to ride a horse for three hours, and it's already dark when we get back to the county."

After hearing this, the county magistrate Xu got on his horse and ran back to the county seat.

When he returned to the county seat, County Magistrate Xu also came to his senses. Damn, he was tricked again.

But what can he do, Zou Jiang is indeed a man of wisdom, courage and means, who can help him.

After returning to the county seat, County Magistrate Xu began to take Mr. Zheng to familiarize himself with various official duties in the county.

……

In Dafeng Village, after Gu Jinli was busy harvesting aphids, he began to think about new dishes and prepare to open a restaurant.

The Fugui Building of the Zou family has all the facilities, and there is no need for repairs at all. The kitchen is staffed by the servants bought by Gu Daya. As long as new dishes are prepared and a few waiters are hired, the restaurant can catch up. Open before the winter solstice.

Mrs. Xia heard that the restaurant in the town also had her share, so she asked Brother Cheng to give her a cookbook as a show of favor.

The recipes in ancient times are all passed down from family to family, and they are secret recipes, which are generally not given to outsiders, but Brother Cheng said: "Mr.'s wife said that this recipe should be given to our family."

Gu Jinli understood in seconds, accepted the recipe, looked through the dishes on it, and found...these dishes are expensive and useless ingredients to make, to make mutton, you have to kill a chicken to boil a pot of thick soup first, Then put the mutton into the chicken broth and simmer over low heat.

Tsk tsk tsk, the restaurants in the town are not banquets for rich and powerful families. Do they close down if they want to open for such expensive dishes?
