Started to get rich after exile

Chapter 19 Cousin is here
The days are lively and lively, and the Chinese New Year is gradually approaching, and the bitter cold frontier also has a bit of a new year.

Ming Lanying also began to prepare things for the New Year, buying things here and adding them, and she didn't remember until the shopping was finished. She didn't know the form of the New Year here, and she was busy with work in her previous life, so she didn't celebrate the New Year much, and she didn't understand these things.

"Ye Juelu, how do you celebrate the New Year here?"

It’s almost Chinese New Year, and there’s nothing else going on in the blacksmith’s shop, so the holiday is early. Ye Juelu is playing with Ning’er high, and he pauses when he hears this. In previous years, their family couldn’t get enough to eat, so how could they want to celebrate New Year? But this year is different.

"I don't stick to these forms, I can live as I want."

"That's fine." For Chinese New Year, being happy is the most important thing.

Ming Lanying was studying how to draw sugar paintings by herself, when the golden eagle came to visit suddenly, holding a snow-white flower in its mouth, and flapping its wings, it stopped on the shed.

He Bai heard the sound of flapping wings, and quickly raised his head, "Sister-in-law, the golden eagle is here!"

Ming Lanying poked her head out of the kitchen window in doubt, and saw the golden sculpture on the shed, "...why are you here?"

"This king is here to give you a gift, which can increase your cultivation."

Ming Lanying walked over curiously, "What is it?"

The Golden Eagle King raised his paw and kicked the flower beside the paw to her. Ming Lanying quickly went to pick it up, "Cabbage? This cabbage is a bit small..."

The tentacles are cold and light, as if they are not cabbage. Ming Lanying held it up to the sun and took a closer look. The five or six-fold petals are gathered together in layers. It does look like a vegetable from a distance, but you can still tell it is a cabbage when you look up close. A flower looks familiar.

Ye Juelu didn't want to come over, so he took a look from a distance. After all, he was well-informed, and he saw at a glance that it was Tianshan snow lotus, a fetish that only grows on the top of the snow mountain. There is only one in the palace that is no bigger than a fist. They are all pampered, and they are not taken out easily. The one sent by the Golden Eagle King is almost as good as the Chinese cabbage.

The Golden Eagle King tilted his head proudly, "I have no experience, this is Tianshan Snow Lotus, which can increase your cultivation, see through the opportunity as soon as possible, and rule the world with this king."

"Snow lotus?" Ming Lanying's eyes widened, and she immediately held the delicate flower carefully, "Don't worry, with this snow lotus, I'll fly up immediately!"

Ye Juelu: "..."

Ming Lanying stared at Jiaohua with excited and fanatical eyes. Dongxia mentioned before that Hebai's meridians were damaged by freezing in the snow.

This is a treasure that even ten thousand taels of gold can't buy!

He Bai couldn't understand Jin Diao's words, but he could hear Ming Lanying's words, and was taken aback, "Snow Lotus? Why can my sister-in-law be able to ascend if she has Snow Lotus?"

Ye Juelu slapped her on the forehead, "Your sister-in-law is for you."

"Aww!" He Bai was moved and burst into tears, "Sister-in-law..."

The Golden Eagle King does not suggest that Hebai should also share the snow lotus. After all, it is the family that Ming Lanying wants to protect, and it is a Mingjun who cares about his subordinates and his people.

"By the way, report from the front line. Your cousin is here. He's in the magistrate's mansion."

Ming Lanying paused, "So fast? Isn't it spring next year?"

The Golden Eagle King pecked his feathers, "The magistrate died suddenly a while ago, didn't you know?"

I really don't know, so I turned to He Bai and asked, "Did the magistrate die a while ago?"

"Ah?" He Bai didn't know either, she was busy teaching Ning'er how to practice martial arts and how to eat enough every day, this trivial matter really didn't reach her ears, so she turned to ask Ye Juelu, "Brother, did you hear that the magistrate died?"

"Sudden death on the case."

Ming Lanying sighed, then turned to look at the Golden Eagle King, "What does the prefect's death have to do with him?"

"I've never seen you so stupid." The Golden Eagle King yawned, "The prefect is dead, so naturally your cousin is here to take over the prefect."

Ming Lanying paused, the Ming family was in such a hurry to send someone to replace the prefect of the frontier fortress, no matter how they thought about it, they had no good intentions.

The golden eagle king came to deliver a letter, and took away a sheep casually, causing He Bai to stomp his feet angrily at its flying away, "I'll let you off this time for the sake of sending snow lotus!"

"Satisfy you, snow lotus is more expensive than sheep and gold." Ming Lanying gave the snow lotus to Ye Juelu and asked him to send it to the next door, and went back to the kitchen to continue drawing sugar paintings, "There are nine more, why are you so anxious."

He Bai hummed and chirped to roast two sweet potatoes, Ye Jue Lv came back and saw Ming Lan Ying frowning slightly, thinking about what she said just now, he was afraid that something might happen.

"Will anyone come next spring?"

"Your Bai Yueguang Song Shanshan will come back next spring, are you satisfied?" Ming Lanying irritatedly stuffed the crooked sugar painting for Hebai, "The Ming family sent a cousin of mine to be the magistrate, probably for Chong Follow us."

Ye Juelu only heard the following sentence, "Are you familiar with that cousin of yours?"

"Not familiar." Ming Lanying didn't even remember his name and appearance.

Ye Juelu said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I'm here."

He Bai and Ning'er ate the sugar painting under the corner of the wall outside the kitchen, with a sweet lump of candy in their mouths, and asked suspiciously, "Who is Song Shanshan?"

Ning'er licked the invisible sugar painting, thought for a while, "Mother hates someone, and Ning'er doesn't like her either, she wants to be Ning'er's stepmother."

He Bai was shocked, "It's unreasonable! You dare to destroy my brother's happy home, and I'll take care of her when she comes back!"

Ning'er nodded again and again, he and Aunt Hebai will guard this family and parents together!
After dinner in the evening, Dongxia came over with a new medicine pack.

"Sister-in-law, that snow lotus is top grade. Grandfather has never seen such a big snow lotus in his life. He is so happy that he will be able to research a new prescription after a while. It will not only cure Hebai completely, but also use the excess Snow lotus makes beauty pills!"

"Okay, just use it." Ming Lanying took the new medicine bag and threw it to Hebai, asking her to cook the medicine herself. Hebai tried to resist, but was suppressed by Ye Juelu's force, and bitterly went to cook the medicine.

"By the way, I heard that we have changed to the magistrate." Dongxia also heard from other women in the village chatting, "I heard that the magistrate next to the magistrate is a handsome man, and he was targeted by the matchmaker as soon as he came." Now, I've tried everything possible to talk to Lord Tongju."

Ming Lanying smiled, "How good-looking is this?"

Dongxia shook her head, "I haven't seen it before, but it seems that when you patrol the street, you can always receive a basket of sachets and handkerchiefs."

"Really?" Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows, and turned her head to look at Ye Juelu who was teaching Ning'er to read under the lamp.

The dim and warm candlelight softened his sharp and stern outline, his deep and delicate facial features, his clear eyes like calm lakes, his wide shoulders and narrow waist bursting with hormones, in layman's terms he is restrained and seductive.

Even if she looks at this face every day, Ming Lanying is confident that she will surrender within ten seconds of staring at him. She can't wait to pounce on him and eat him alive, make him cry, and let him show a different expression.

But she just looked at it and didn't think about doing it. The rabbit doesn't even eat the grass by the side of the nest!
Dongxia also followed her gaze, and smiled knowingly, "I haven't seen any man who can beat Brother Ye in appearance, and there is no other man who can match sister-in-law."

Ming Lanying stretched out her hand and rubbed her little face, "You've become more courageous too! You dare to tease me, huh?"

Even if his face was being pinched, Dong Xia was not afraid, and laughed and joked. The father and son who were studying hard on the other side of the room pretended not to hear.

After Dongxia left, Ning'er looked up at Ye Juelu, "Daddy is good-looking, that's why he is worthy of mother, and sister Dongxia also praised Ning'er for being good-looking, so Ning'er is also worthy of mother."

Ye Juelu raised his hand to gently pinch Ning'er's small face, "Yes."

Accompanying each other day and night for such a long time, Ye Juelu also discovered Ming Lanying's face-controlling attribute, she would always be more patient with good-looking people, such as Ning'er, such as Dongxia and Hebai, such as him.This is the only time when he is very grateful to his parents for giving him such a high-quality appearance.

It will be a new year soon, and in front of the festive and happy days, Ming Lanying also forgot about the new magistrate.One day, the family was making a snowman in the yard to play, when suddenly two uninvited guests came to the door.

"Excuse me, is this Ye Juelu's home?"

The happy laughter in the yard stopped abruptly, and Ye Juelu, who was clearing the snow on the roof, turned his head and looked at the stranger outside the yard with five pairs of eyes.

A man in his 30s, wearing a lake-green Sichuan Brocade gown, wearing a jade crown, with regular features, handsome eyebrows, and a pair of peach blossom eyes full of passion, is facing the female relatives in the yard.The other was wearing a blue-gray round-neck gown. He looked about 20 years old, but he was handsome and handsome, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, facial features, thin lips slightly pursed, cold and alienated.

In terms of appearance, this is the best man Ming Lanying has ever met. He is a beautiful face in a prosperous age, but compared with Ye Juelu, he is not enough in all aspects.

Ming Lanying frowned slightly, "Who are you?"

Dongxia tilted her head and thought for a while before remembering these two people, and exclaimed, "Sister-in-law, you are the new prefect and judge!"

The younger man said coldly: "The Sixth Young Master is here to find Ye Juelu and his wife."

Knowing that the new magistrate is Ming Lanying's cousin, He Bai stared at the two of them vigilantly, "Sister-in-law, could it be a fake? Why can't even you recognize it?"

Although Ming Lanying didn't recognize it, she acted confidently, "I don't blame her, I can't write a clear character even with a single stroke, of course I am not familiar with it, right cousin?"

The two people outside the yard were stunned. They knew from Nanny Feng that Ming Lanying had changed a lot, but they didn't expect it to be this big!In the past, she weighed more than 200 pounds, and she was ugly and unsalted, and now she has an exquisite figure, with picturesque eyebrows and skin like jade, like a cloud, as delicate as a late twilight, flamboyant but not coquettish? !

When the two were in a daze, Ye Juelu came down the ladder and stood half a step in front of Ming Lanying, blocking the direct sight of the two of them, "Next to Ye Juelu, what do you two do?"

"It turns out that your Excellency is Ye Juelu, whom I have admired for a long time. Ming Langtao, the current magistrate, and Lanying's sixth cousin." Ming Langtao was the first to recover, and cupped his hands at Ye Juelu, "This is Meng Huaisu, my little boy, The current judge."

Ming Langtao smiled and said to Ming Lanying: "I didn't expect sister Lanying to change so much, I really admire you after three days! It seems that in the frontier, sister Lanying receives a lot of goods, and sister Lishu often praises you as a lucky girl!" of."

After saying that, she also fired electricity at Hebai and Dongxia beside Ming Lanying, Ming Lanying hurriedly drove them back to the house, and brought Ning'er in, for fear of being stained by dirty people.

"Brother Liu was joking, do you want this blessing for you?" Ming Lanying has no impression of Ming Langtao, but she has an impression of Ming Lishu, the most beloved concubine of the Ming family, and the culprit that caused her to be here now One of them, "Sister Lishu is also envious of my good fortune. Why didn't Liutang brother bring her here? Let's get lucky together?"

Ming Langtao's smile froze, "Sister Lan Ying has become much smarter, isn't she Huai Su?"

Meng Huaisu looked at Ming Lanying with complicated emotions. The gap between him and the shrew in his memory who was professing love to him all day long made him unable to recover for a while.

"Speaking of which, Sister Lanying and Huaisu are old acquaintances!" Ming Langtao had a deep smile in his eyes, and he seemed to have thought of some happy event. It's a pity that expressing my heart behind Huai Su often made Huai Su feel embarrassed, but it didn't lead to this good story in the end."

Ye Juelu glanced sideways at her, Ming Lanying: "..."

This evil fate!The original owner only had a vague memory, and she didn't bother to think about it, but now she was shaken out by this smiling fox to sow discord!
Ming Lanying looked at them with a half-smile, "Brother Liu was joking, he was just young and ignorant, he was fooled by Sister Li Shu, it was just a joke."

Ming Langtao wasn't talking about this topic either, and said with a smile: "We walked for a long time to find this place. Sister Lanying won't you invite us in for a bowl of water?"

Ming Lanying thought it was bad luck to look too much, so she rolled her eyes and went into the kitchen, "Aren't you looking for Ye Juelu? Ask me what I do, ask him."

Ming Langtao and Meng Huaisu turned their heads to look at Ye Juelu.

Ye Juelu, who was ignored for a long time, said, "...the magistrate must have something important to do here, please sit down in the pavilion."

The kitchen table was moved out again, and the fire pit under the gazebo was not even bothered. The three of them sat under the gazebo with air leaks on three sides, drinking half-cold tea.

Ye Juelu is a cold and boring gourd, and Meng Huaisu is also a cold and talkative one, but Ming Langtao has a cheeky smile, and the three of them look weird when they sit there.

In the next room, the window lattice was propped up with a small gap, and three pairs of eyes were exposed through the gap, just in time to see the gazebo, and the three people in the room whispered quietly.

He Bai said with disdain: "I think that Meng Huaisu looks so-so, not as good-looking as one of my brother's toes. My sister-in-law was blind and fell in love with him before!"

Dongxia and Ning'er nodded in agreement, "Mother wouldn't like this kind of person! He must have been tricked by bad guys!"

Dong Xia: "Ning'er is so smart, I don't think this new magistrate is a good thing, except for the sister-in-law from the Ming family, none of them are good things!"

"I know, this Ming Langtao is targeting my brother and sister-in-law!" He Bai wished he could chop them off with a knife now, "I have no good intentions!"

Ning'er: "Your intention is wrong!"

Dongxia: "Unpredictable intentions!"

Ming Langtao and Meng Huaisu were not good at martial arts, so they couldn't hear the words in the room, but Ye Juelu pretended not to hear them.

"Is there any business for the magistrate to come? It's freezing cold, my lord has finished talking and went back early, and I won't leave the two adults for dinner."

Ming Langtao took a sip of the tea, the lukewarm tea now became icy cold, and the frozen man was shocked, Ming Langtao put down the tea bowl without changing his face, "I came here mainly according to the order from above, the frontier is here There is a Saibei River leading to the capital, which is a key transportation river, but it is freezing cold, the river is frozen, and the boats are not easy to drive, so the people on the frontier fortress want to take turns to break the ice by the river through the river."

Ye Juelu remained silent for a long while, there were too many pitfalls, and Ming Lanying, who was eavesdropping in the kitchen, was speechless.

Since the river began to freeze, no boats were allowed to travel on the river. Whether it was delivering goods or traveling for a long distance, they all changed to land, which was more trouble-free and labor-saving.Ming Langtao's orders from his superiors were nothing more than a means of revenge by the Ming family. It was said that they took turns. From the beginning to the end, Ye Juelu was the only one. Let Ye Juelu agree.

Ming Lanying sighed, put down the dishes in her hand, walked over with a straight face, and sat directly beside Ye Juelu, "Brother Liu is joking? We have been in the frontier for too long, but it is not too late to keep up." Policies, what kind of regulations are the canals in winter, the sixth cousin should know better than us, right?"

"Sister Lanying was joking. I'm just a little magistrate, and I still follow the orders of my superiors." Ming Langtao looked at her with a smile, "And it's just crushed ice, it's very simple."

"Really?" Ming Lanying said with a domineering look, "The sixth cousin said who gave the order to send the son-in-law of the Ming family to break the ice in the canal. I will meet him and not beat him up." I'm not satisfied with losing two teeth!"

Ming Langtao raised his brows, and continued to smile, "Sister Lan Ying, don't be joking, in fact, there is a turning point in this matter, and there is another matter that can transfer my brother-in-law away slowly."

Ming Lanying looked at him amusedly, and the ugly and shameless brother-in-law called out, anyway, Ye Juelu had to go out to find death!

Ming Lanying glanced at Ye Juelu, the meaning was obvious, you can figure it out yourself!
Ye Juelu said helplessly, "Master Zhifu, tell me."

Ming Langtao smiled treacherously, "The former magistrate died suddenly, leaving behind a pile of mess, and old accounts filled a warehouse. I have paid a lot of money to hire several accountants in the past few days, but none of them can do it. If someone now If we can solve the prefect's urgent need, maybe the prefect can save him from the heavy responsibility of corvee for two years."

The imperial court in this bitter and cold place is too lazy to ask, there is no account to settle, at most it is a corruption account, and the mess is accumulating more and more with the passage of time.Ming Langtao didn't want to take the blame, so he hasn't signed the letter of appointment yet, and he must wait until the accounts are cleared.

The first thing was indeed arranged by the Ming family, as for whether to carry it out, it was entirely up to him.And the second thing is the option he deliberately gave. When he spent a lot of money to find Mr. Accountant, those accountants also revealed to him a very powerful Mr. Accountant. Inkless sister.

After he couldn't find the accountant, he searched a few times, and basically showed her the account books of big shops in the city, which proved her strength.This shocked him for a long time, and he decided to give it a try.

Ye Juelu remained silent, Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows, and stared at the two of them with a half-smile. Apart from the fact that the villagers didn't know her ability to read accounts, all the shop owners in the town and the city knew about it. They can all ask, "Brother Liu has already known this?"

The smile in Ming Langtao's eyes became stronger, "It seems that it's all true, Sister Lan Ying really impressed us!"
