A poor family counterattacks, she is beautiful and sassy on the way to the imperial examination

Chapter 138 Chapter 138

An Chuxia's face became a little ugly when she heard this, she didn't expect to hear that the county magistrate with whom she will be working with is such a capable person before she arrives at the Wei County Yamen.

The man's words fell into silence for a short while, and soon after, the village chief Zhao said in a puzzled way: "Since the new county magistrate three years ago, after something happened to him and scared him away, why didn't the court stop talking about it?" Send the new magistrate over."

An Chuxia really knew what Village Chief Zhao was wondering about.

From being tricked by the old emperor again to wanting to come here, the environment is not good, the geography is poor, and the county magistrate of Wei County is not a shit.

She deliberately inquired about Wei County, because every time the imperial court wanted to send people here as county magistrates, I heard that three people were sent here as county magistrates in the past few years.

One of them died of illness, and the county magistrate who came to take office later was robbed and killed by bandits as soon as he entered Wei County. The last county magistrate here three years ago also heard that he went crazy after coming here for a year.

Everyone who was sent here by the imperial court to be the county magistrate, who would dare to come to Wei County to be the county magistrate after inquiring about these things clearly, did not think that their fate was too long.

Those who are related would rather be transferred to the eighth and ninth ranks to be small officials, and those who are not related will happen to get sick at this time, escape this transfer order, and wait for the next opportunity.

It's not a coincidence that I bumped into the hard rock of Pan's family, even if the old emperor was not so dark-hearted, he wouldn't trap her here.

If she was transferred to a slightly better place, I'm afraid the Pan family would not agree, after all, she saw with her own eyes that Mr. Pan was ordered to spank his ass to blossom.

Mrs. Pan was the one who forced her to go to the long street and hand out compensation money to the common people. Now that An Chuxia thinks about it, she feels that she was courting death.

Later, An Chuxia heard several people say that Chen Xiancheng collected taxes with specially made buckets that were larger than the standard buckets, and resold the excess grain collected from the common people to big grain merchants in the county with close ties to him.

An Chuxia and the others forgot the time, until the old village head's family came to call for dinner, only then did they realize that it was already evening.

An Chuxia and Zuo Wang got up and said they wanted to leave, but the enthusiastic old village head and a few other villagers stayed behind, saying that there was no reason for the village to let guests leave at meal time.

An Chuxia had no choice but to say that there were still a few companions who hadn't come, but the old village head didn't listen at all, and just said that they would invite him to his house together.

The old village chief said so, An Chuxia didn't want to save him, so he had to order Zuo Wang who was always beside her to tell An Zixi to bring Liu Xiang, Liu Xue, Mrs. Wu and her mother and son.

When the old village head saw three carriages parked in front of his house, and Liu Xiang, Liu Xue, Mrs. Wu and her mother and son got out of the carriage and looked like they were servant girls.

Only then did he really realize that the woman that his family entertained today was probably really not an ordinary person.

At that time, he was just being polite when he called Miss Lady, it was because An Chuxia didn't evade the title, and he didn't think anything of it.

At this time, the old village head thought, maybe the woman with extraordinary bearing in front of him is really a famous girl.

It's just that the official school in their poor county has long since declined, not to mention a girl who has studied for fame and fame, and there has never been one.

There are not even two famous male scholars, and those who have money in their families go to other places to study before they are admitted as scholars.

Perhaps what the old village chief said to his family members showed that the old village chief's wife, son, and daughter-in-law were more enthusiastic about An Chuxia and the others.

At the dinner table, the old village chief said embarrassedly: "There are no good dishes in the village to entertain distinguished guests, please bear with me."

Several other villagers looked at An Chuxia and Zuo Wang who were at the same table. An Zixi declined his cousin to let him sit at the same table, and voluntarily brought Liu Xiang and the others to sit at the other table for dinner.

An Chuxia smiled lightly, picked up a chopstick and finished cooking, and said, "What delicacies from mountains and seas, there are no vegetables grown by us. They are fresh and delicious."

Everyone smiled when they heard what An Chuxia said. Regardless of whether the words were true or not, the atmosphere at the dinner table became lively.

The only meat dish on the table was an old egg-laying hen that the old village head's wife had killed in pain.

An Chuxia, who was not very gluttonous, caught sight from the corner of her eyes, and the two looked at their little heads at the door of the main room. The little guy's eyes were fixed on the chicken on the table, and he was almost dripping down.

An Chuxia waved to them with a slight smile, and the two five or six-year-old children began to shrink their heads back in fright.

When the village chief saw this scene, he thought that his child would be looked down upon if he didn't understand the rules, but he didn't expect An Chuxia to have no displeasure on his face.

An Chuxia saw An Chuxia take the empty vegetable bowl next to her, took half of the bowl of chicken, and asked the old village chief's daughter-in-law who came in to refill the guests to serve it to the two children.

The old village chief's daughter-in-law looked at her father-in-law, and after seeing him nodding, she smiled shyly at An Chuxia and took it.

Most of the farmers eat like this. As long as they are not the women who are the head of the household, most women and children will not come to the table when guests come to the house.

An Chuxia also saw this custom when she went out to play in modern times.Especially the custom of the 90s was even worse in the south.

It was already dark after the meal, and when An Chuxia stayed to eat, she thought that she would stay here overnight.

Here in the north they slept on kangs. In order to make room for them, the sons of the old village chief went out to find places to sleep with acquaintances in the village.

The old village head's wife quietly entered the house and pulled the old village head out. After a while, Liu Xiang came in and told An Chuxia that when she came back from the toilet, she seemed to hear that the village head's wife told the old village head that there were not so many quilts at home. Know what to do.

An Chuxia whispered a few words to Liu Xiang, and after a while, the old village head's wife came in with a blushing face, and saw Liu Xiang was spreading the quilt she carried from the carriage.

He said embarrassingly: "In recent years, the village has imposed more and more miscellaneous taxes, and the bucket of food tax collection has become bigger and bigger.

I can't even take care of my stomach all year round, and no one has spare money to buy things.

There are few quilts at home, which makes the girl laugh. "

An Chuxia smiled and didn't care about these things. She could see that the old village chief's family was good, so she comforted her: "These things will pass, good days will always come!"

The old village head's wife saw that An Chuxia's face showed no contempt or displeasure, so she sat down and chatted with her about some village affairs, and then left only when it was getting late.

Before leaving, he said to An Chuxia: "I've already let my wife heat the kang, girl, let's go to bed early!"

"Okay, you guys also go to bed earlier!"

At night in the village, apart from a few howls of rhubarb, there was no other sound.

An Chuxia didn't expect that her visit on a whim would save them from disaster.

The inn where they were going to stay tonight was broken into by a group of bandits for no reason~
