There is a little cute baby in the family, fleeing famine is not enough to get rich and busy

"Qinghe is here, sit down and talk."

When Hu Kaicheng saw Liu Qinghe, a smile appeared on his face immediately, and he even took the initiative to ask someone to sit down and talk.

This made Liu Qinghe flattered, thanked him again and again, and then sat down on the edge of the chair.

Hu Kaicheng didn't make any detours, and directly asked about Yongping Village.

Liu Qinghe didn't hide it, so he asked for a day off yesterday, first took people to Yongping Village, and then took his family to walk around the village.

Hu Kaicheng was startled when he heard this, and asked, "Your family has gone to Yongping Village?"

"Returning to the words of the adults, it is true."

Liu Qinghe said with some embarrassment: "The young ones dare not lie to the adults. A small family of more than a dozen people is crowded into a small courtyard. The children used to be small, so it didn't feel crowded to live in. But now the children are all grown up. Now, it looks like I'm going to marry a wife."

"Seeing that there are many places in Yongping Village, I discussed with my family to buy a homestead in Yongping Village and build a yard. When the time comes, the family will live separately, so that it will be easier."

None of this is a secret.

Although it is not publicized now, it cannot be concealed in the future.

If the county magistrate didn't care about the affairs of Yongping Village, Liu Qinghe would naturally not say much, but now that he has asked about it, he should explain it as soon as possible, so as not to let the county magistrate misunderstand that he has hidden selfish intentions in the future.

Hu Kaicheng nodded after hearing this, but quite agreed: "Very good, your two elders are sensible, and it is always inconvenient for a big family to squeeze into the same yard. Besides, I see that Yongping Village is really good. I really live in it. The character of the family can also be taken care of."

"Yes, your lord is quite right."

Liu Qinghe hurriedly flattered him.

Hu Kaicheng waved his hand, and said again: "Then how much land did your family buy? When will the construction start?"

Originally asking about Yongping Village, Liu Qinghe just explained his arrangement according to the situation, but he didn't expect the county magistrate to really care about his family's affairs.

Liu Qinghe didn't hide anything, and explained his family's plan.

Hu Kaicheng thought for a while after hearing this, and then said: "Recently, the city has been quiet. How about it, Qinghe, you will be busy with your family affairs first. Of course, by the way, I will also help Qi's family to take care of it." People from other villages who went to work in Yongping Village."

"Although Yongping Village is now a village under the jurisdiction of Jicheng, it is composed of outsiders after all. It is hard to guarantee that it will not be bullied by local old households."

"You go and watch it, and nothing else matters, but the plaque of Yongping Village must be taken care of, and there must be no mistakes, understand?"

Hu Kaicheng said it very seriously, which shows how much he values ​​the plaque given by the emperor.

Liu Qinghe got up quickly, cupped his hands and saluted: "Yes, my lord, the little one must take good care of it."

After a pause, Liu Qinghe raised his head slightly again, and asked tentatively: "My lord, it's just that this way, the little one won't be able to be on duty. It's been a long time, and the little one's job as a yamen servant..."

"Of course it's still yours. You are not resting, but you are sent by the official to protect the safety of the people. How is this different from patrolling the city?"

Hearing this, the stone in Liu Qinghe's heart fell to the ground.

With the words of the county magistrate, he can rest assured and go to Yongping Village to guard.

One is to guard the safety of Yongping Village, and the other can personally take care of his new yard.

Kill two birds with one stone!

Naturally, Liu Qinghe would not say that this was a fake public service, after all, he would not build a house himself, would he?

Hu Kaicheng glanced at the master and said, "Go to the backyard and send a letter, and ask my wife to send someone to send 20 taels of silver."

"Yes!"

The master immediately withdrew.

Liu Qinghe was puzzled.

What did the county magistrate suddenly want 20 taels of silver for?Is it possible that, like his family, they want to buy land and build a yard in Yongping Village?

Unexpectedly, he had just muttered, when he heard Hu Kaicheng say: "You go to Yongping Village this time, you have to eat and live there. Although the Qi family is benevolent, it's not enough for us officials to take advantage of others."

"The 20 taels of silver will be handed over to you, and the food and lodging will be paid from here on weekdays. But every three to five days, you will come back and tell me what is going on there, remember?"

Hu Kaicheng said it very seriously, and he really looked like a blue sky master who cared about the people.

Liu Qinghe was overwhelmed by the flattery, hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to thank, and vowed to remember everything clearly and report back.

20 taels of silver, even if he eats and drinks all day long, he can't use it!

Besides, he is not the kind of person who will eat and drink, so save it, the remaining money can be used to buy more land!

The master came back soon, and brought back 20 taels of silver.

Hu Kaicheng personally put the silver in Liu Qinghe's hands, and after some more instructions, he ordered people to clean up today and set off for Yongping Village in the afternoon.

When Liu Qinghe came out of the yamen, he still felt that his footsteps were a little erratic.

If it weren't for the fact that the heavy 20 taels of silver in his arms were real, he would have wondered if he had just had an unrealistic dream.

In the courtyard of the Liu family, Cheng Huihui was washing clothes with the other two sisters-in-law.

The three sisters-in-law chatted and worked at the same time, but they didn't find it hard.

The old lady Liu was mending clothes in the house, and she didn't stay outside. Suddenly, she heard the eldest daughter-in-law exclaim, the old lady trembled in fright, and the needle point directly pricked her fingertips, causing her to gasp in pain. .

"Father, why are you back at this time?"

When Cheng Huihui saw Liu Qinghe appearing at the door, her heart skipped a beat, her face paled instantly.

Don't you ask for leave yesterday, but the people in the yamen put on small shoes!

Liu Qinghe was also taken aback by the voice, and hurriedly waved his hands: "Don't shout, I'm coming back to pack my things."

"Pack up? Pack what?"

Cheng Huihui's face turned paler.

It's over, this is not only to wear small shoes, but also to be distributed!
Although Jicheng is a county seat, there are not many major cases throughout the year, but it is not completely absent.

In recent years, there have been several cases where the yamen servants wanted to send the assigned prisoners to travel far away.

Liu Qinghe had met him before, but the place he went to was not too far away, let alone packing up, he didn't even bring any money with him, and he would be back in less than ten days and half a month.

But this time, he actually had to pack up, how far did he have to go!

In just a moment, Cheng Huihui thought of this, and she frightened herself so much that she almost didn't fall to the ground.

It was the second younger sibling who was on the side reacting quickly and grabbed her arm.

Liu Qinghe was also taken aback, and hurried forward to grab Cheng Huihui's other arm, and said angrily: "What are you doing? I packed up and went to Yongping Village, and the adults sent me some work." , let me stay in Yongping Village for a while."
