Although the war has not yet spread to the south, food prices have begun to rise.

Ye Qing didn't know how long this war would last, and now she used all the extra money to buy food.

At the same time, I also told the people in the shop and the village to stock up on food as soon as possible.

Everyone always obeyed Ye Qing's words.

Everyone has experienced hunger, and knows the preciousness of food.

Therefore, without knowing it, the food of every household has accumulated from less to more.

Qingfeng Town, Yamen!

County magistrate Lu looked at Zhang Butou and asked, "What did you want to say just now?"

Zhang Butou shook his head: "My lord, I just think it's hard to realize your idea."

Just now, County Magistrate Lu made a decision that could shake Qingfeng Town, and that was to propose marriage to Ye Qing.

He didn't want to understand, why did the adults suddenly make such a decision?

Or, has it been planned for a long time?
Ye Qing is rich now, there are many people who miss her.

But there are not many who actually take action.

I heard that her family has a very good nursing home, and if she doesn't make a move easily, the other party will either die or be injured if she makes a move.

Ye Qing had a very good impression on Zhang Tutou, but last time, the county magistrate was too unkind, took money from the rich man Zhou's father, and let the matter of poisoning the cow die.

I still remember the look in Ye Qing's eyes when he was about to leave, and his heart was trembling, it didn't look like a girl's eyes, it was as cold as a glacier on the top of a snow mountain.

Up until now, Zhang Butou felt numb and did not dare to face Ye Qing.

Zhang Butou looked at Lu County Magistrate's expression calmly, and asked again uncertainly: "My lord really likes Miss Ye?"

County Magistrate Lu was upset, and said with a dark face, "Is there any problem?"

"Really like it?" Zhang Butou was also probing at first, but now seeing that the magistrate Lu did not deny it, he felt very irritated and uneasy for no reason.

Zhang Butou continued: "There is no problem with a humble job, but this girl is definitely a role model for all the girls in our Qingfeng Town. She not only knows how to farm, but also runs a shop, workshop, and sells recipes. Such a girl..."

Zhang Butou actually wanted to say, my lord, you are not good enough for Miss Ye at all.

"What does Zhang Libo mean? Are you saying I'm not good enough for her?" County Magistrate Lu said, staring at Zhang Butou coldly.

"My lord, you misunderstood. I just said that Miss Ye is very capable." It is important to keep the job, and what does the life and death of other people have to do with him.

County Magistrate Lu stood up, stroked his big belly, and said triumphantly: "I can see her as a little peasant girl, she should know how to be grateful. If she dares to refuse, I will definitely make her look good. "

Does Magistrate Lu like Ye Qing?

The answer, of course, is like it.

Ye Qing is young and beautiful, and can make money, who doesn't like it.

love?

How can it be!

County magistrate Lu is 40 years old this year, so he can be Ye Qing's father.

The wife and children of County Magistrate Lu are all in his hometown.

There is only one concubine with him in Qingfeng Town.

In this era, three wives and four concubines are the most normal.

He only has one wife and one concubine, which is considered rare.

"My lord, you really have a true temperament. It's really rare!" Zhang Butou said without emotion, and the tone couldn't tell whether it was a compliment or a sarcasm.

County Magistrate Lu said with a smile: "Of course, the hero is saddened by the Beauty Pass."

Ye Qing is busy in the wasteland, the fruit trees have already blossomed, and this year is the first year to bear fruit, hoping for a good harvest.

Then Xiaohong came to call her, saying that the magistrate was here.

Ye Qing was taken aback, the county magistrate is here?

Did I commit a crime?

After thinking about it carefully, the taxes have been paid, and the management fee has also been paid. If you don’t owe money, why is he here?

In the hall, County Magistrate Lu was quietly drinking tea. There were several large boxes in the hall, accompanied by Village Chief Ye.

Ye Haihe went to the snail noodle shop in the town and asked Liu Shi to come out as a company. She is a woman, so it is really inappropriate.

Others, either went to workshops or schools, or they were too young, or they were Zheng and others, and they were not suitable to accompany them at all.

The adult man has Guo Mingfeng, but if he wants to accompany him, it's better to just kill the county magistrate Lu.

In desperation, Liu had no choice but to call Village Chief Ye over.

This was not the first time Village Chief Ye had met County Magistrate Lu, but it was the first time he had met alone.

This is his immediate superior. Although he doesn't directly control them on weekdays, and the village head's salary is pitifully low, he is just afraid.

Village Chief Ye was on pins and needles, he still hadn't figured out the purpose of County Magistrate Lu's coming here.

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't magistrate Lu go to him directly for anything?

Why did she bypass him and go directly to Ye Qing?
Could it be that Ye Qing committed something?what to do?what to do?
The more I thought about it, the more flustered I became, and the more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, and cold sweat broke out.

But it didn't look like it, because County Magistrate Lu came in casual clothes.

If you're on business, you should come here in official uniform.

When Ye Qing entered the hall, Village Chief Ye found an excuse to go out.

Evacuate quickly, the air pressure here is too low, he feels severe hypoxia, if he stays for another quarter of an hour, he will die.

Seeing Ye Qing, County Magistrate Lu didn't even exchange pleasantries, and said straight to the point: "Miss Ye, I got a few jars of good wine here, and I specially brought them here for Miss Ye to taste, and I also heard that Miss Ye is a good cook. , I don’t know if I have this honor.”

It's really strange that even the official's self-proclaimed name has become me.

Ye Qing was taken aback, I don't seem to know you very well, does it have something to do with me if you get good wine?

Ye Qing directly refused: "Master Lu, in fact, my cooking skills are not good, I only say that I can't cook, and many recipes are sold to Yipin Pavilion, I believe that Boss Guo welcomes you very much, there is no need to go so far for a few dishes It's a long way, and I don't drink, please take this wine back."

County Magistrate Lu didn't expect Ye Qing to refuse, it was totally different from what he imagined, he is the county magistrate, not a cat or a dog, shouldn't she be flattered?

County magistrate Lu looked up at her suddenly: "Ye Qing, what if I said that these things are specially given to you?"

Ye slightly smiled: "Thank you for your kindness, sir, I really don't drink, please go back."

I can't talk today.

How could magistrate Lu give up, the goal has not been achieved yet.

After thinking about it, he said bluntly: "Ye Qing, the purpose of my coming today is to propose to you."

Ye Qing stared at him dumbfounded, and after a while, he realized: "What did you say?"

County Magistrate Lu: "I said to come here today to ask you for marriage."

Ye Qing frowned: "Master Lu, what are you kidding?"

County Magistrate Lu: "I'm not joking."

Ye Qing was taken aback for a moment, Xiao Hong came into the room with some snacks, and she was shocked when she heard this.

But soon, there was a smile on his face, and he hurried to find Mrs. Liu: "Ma'am, something good has happened, someone has come to propose marriage."

Mrs. Liu was feeding the pigs, when she heard Xiaohong's words, the water ladle almost fell to the ground.

Liu Shi: "Xiao Hong, what are you talking about, who came to propose marriage?"

Xiaohong said happily: "It's the county magistrate, the one sitting in the hall."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu felt a little unbelievable, and asked again: "Are you sure it's the county magistrate? Xiaohong, did you hear me right?"

Xiaohong nodded excitedly: "I'm really not mistaken, this is absolutely true."

Only then did Liu understand what Xiao Hong was happy about. The other party was the county magistrate, and for ordinary people like them, he was an unattainable person.

She never thought that the county magistrate was already very old.

In the hall, Ye Qing looked at County Magistrate Lu coldly: "Lord Lu, you are old enough to be my father, and besides, you should have been married, right?"

County Magistrate Lu smiled and said, "What does it matter? Are you a man? Isn't it normal to have three wives and four concubines? Besides, as long as you nod your head, I will marry you in with eight sedan chairs, and I will never let you in." By a little wronged.

You like farming and doing business. I won't stop you. I should say I will escort you. In Qingfeng Town, no one dares to bully you.

If you want to walk sideways, I will clean up the entire street..."

Ye Qing couldn't listen anymore, so he interrupted his long speech: "Master, please go back."

Ye Qing's ignorance made County Magistrate Lu very embarrassed. He flicked his sleeves and said coldly, "Don't be ignorant of flattery."

Ye Qing stood up coldly: "Master County Magistrate, you really came here by mistake this time, Guo Mingfeng, see you off!"

As soon as Ye Qing's words fell, Guo Mingfeng flashed in and said very bluntly: "Master County Magistrate, please walk slowly."

The housekeeper frowned from the moment he entered the door, seeing that Ye Qing had chased away people, he immediately stepped forward and said, "My lord, let's go."

County Magistrate Lu wanted to explain something, but Ye Qing didn't listen to him at all, and just went straight into the back room.

Guo Mingfeng directly took the things out, threw them at the door, and then closed the door tightly with a bang.

County Magistrate Lu's face turned black with anger, damn it, one day, I will make you kneel down and beg for mercy.

Outside the carriage, the butler couldn't help but said: "My lord, this Ye Qing has stiff wings. She is so courageous that she dares to drive you out. Doesn't she want to mess around in Qingfeng Town? After returning, she must find an excuse." Tack her up so that she doesn't even know what her last name is."

County magistrate Lu remained silent, his face so dark that ink dripped out.

Seeing that the magistrate Lu was silent, the steward immediately intensified and said, "My lord, this old servant has thought about it, so I will start from her snail noodle shop, find a few people to harass her every day, and make her unable to do business without killing anyone." Well, no matter what, she will definitely come to report to the official, and then we will be able to catch her.

What's more, the tax will be increased. If she dares not to pay, she will be directly arrested in the cell. "

County magistrate Lu nodded: "What you said makes sense, if you have any other tricks, tell them quickly."

...

Many people knew about County Magistrate Lu's visit to Shihe Village, but no one knew that he was proposing marriage.

Because, not many people know that he is the county magistrate.

But for some reason, rumors that someone from Ye Qing's family came to ask for marriage spread throughout the nearby villages.

As a result, the matchmakers from various villages came to the door one after another, fearing that such a good business would be robbed.

In the past, someone came to the door to talk about a matchmaker, but was swept out by Ye Qing, and no one dared to come again after that.

"Sister Liu, where are you at home? It's been a few days since I came to see you. You're doing well. Look, this dress is just like an official's wife."

On the second day, a well-dressed matchmaker came to the door, and as soon as she entered the door, she established a warm relationship with Liu Shi.

Liu Shi was taken aback: "Who are you?"

The matchmaker flattered her and said, "Look at how much you forget about your nobleman. I'm Liang's matchmaker. I heard that sister Liu is very happy. Did someone come to ask for marriage yesterday?"

Liu Shi was taken aback, what is this all about?
"Don't talk nonsense, yesterday the county magistrate from the city came to discuss farming with Da Ya." Liu said quickly.

That's the county magistrate, don't you understand?

Matchmaker Liang ignored her, and said to herself: "I'll tell you the truth, sister Liu, I have a lot of good young people from ten miles and eight villages, all of whom are from well-to-do families, sister Liu, let's be honest.

Although your girl has a big family business, she is going to marry after all, isn't she?As long as he can find a young man who can live a down-to-earth life, the young masters in this city are unreliable.

According to Ye Qing's temperament, even if he becomes a relative, he will not be an honest husband and son at home, and then he will go out to show his face, isn't this all a contradiction? "

As for the young people from the countryside, Liu suddenly felt that although the young people from the countryside were simple, who could be worthy of a big girl?
Her daughter is the best, and those people must have come here for Da Ya's money.

Seeing that Mrs. Liu did not refute, Matchmaker Liang thought that Mrs. Liu fully agreed with her point of view, so she leaned forward and said, "Although our eight villages are in the countryside, we have good conditions. Naturally, compared with Sister Liu's family Come on, it can't be compared, but there are dozens of houses, hundreds of acres of land, and more than a dozen maids at home, who are even more handsome, who are studying, and may pass the imperial examination next year, valued It's just Ye Qing's ability, you see, I have brought all my horoscopes, why don't you get together first?"

Mrs. Liu hurriedly stopped her: "Matchmaker Liang, don't worry, I haven't said anything yet, why are you in such a hurry? I haven't asked Da Ya about this matter yet, so how can you just come up with horoscopes to match? It doesn't make people Is it a joke?"

Matchmaker Liang didn't care, and said directly: "Sister Liu, isn't it because the man is afraid that you will accept others, so he brought the horoscope in a hurry, but the talent is from ten miles and eight villages, especially the ability of that kind of place. , That's top-notch! The conditions are the most suitable for what I said, since it is suitable, we don't make those fakes, anyway, let's talk about it first."

Mrs. Liu couldn't laugh or cry at once, it seemed that the Liang matchmaker and the man were really anxious, and said lightly: "You should go back first, I'll ask you what you mean first."

Seeing that Mrs. Liu didn't refuse, Liang Matchmaker immediately felt that there was something interesting, and put the man's horoscope on the table and said: "Then sister Liu told Ye Qing that she was from Liang Jian's family in Liangjia Village. Juren?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu immediately asked, "Is he really Liang Juren's nephew?"

"Isn't that right? Nowadays, Liang Juren has entered Beijing High School long ago. Liang Jian himself is also a scholar, and his knowledge is passed down from his family. It's amazing. Before this, many young ladies in the city sent someone to say goodbye. , but he didn't like it, but this time I went to his house and said, he was willing, and I personally took out the horoscope, this is Miss Ye's blessing." Liang Matchmaker couldn't help nagging again.
