Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

As the first family to flee to Beishan County other than Luojia Village, Meng Changqing must give them special care.

She deliberately left the land next to Mei Zi's house and farmland, hoping to find a safe neighbor for his family.

Based on her observations over the past few days, she felt that the person in front of her, Zheng Hongyu, was probably a good person.

When Meng Changqing came here yesterday, he noticed that she used a cloth to exchange sitting positions with others, and he knew that she was a smart person. Although she didn't talk much, she always spoke on the key points.

It shouldn't be difficult to deal with such people.

Zheng Hongyu looked at the place where the county master pointed and asked, "Master, what does this mean?"

Meng Changqing replied directly: "It is a mark. I didn't intend to give this place away, but now it seems that this place is very suitable for you."

After that, Meng Changqing waited for a while and then said, "Of course, you can choose another place."

If Meng Changqing hadn't said this, Zheng Hongyu would have thought about choosing another place, but as soon as this was said, she immediately agreed, "Thank you for your advice, Master."

"Okay." Meng Changqing picked up the pen and wrote her name in the two boxes, then said, "Look at the farmland again."

Zheng Hongyu asked tentatively: "Master, are you willing to give me some advice?"

Meng Changqing smiled and said, "Since you trust me, then choose this piece of land."

Zheng Hongyu noticed that the place chosen by the county magistrate had a black spot. "Thank you again, magistrate. I will choose this place."

Meng Changqing said to the yamen runner beside him: "Take her over to measure the land."

"Yes."

Meng Changqing was almost done with his work when Bafang came over on horseback. It was past lunch time and Meng Changqing hadn't gone home yet. Bafang was originally waiting at the county government office, wanting to take a break while waiting for someone, but he waited and waited and saw no one coming back, so he simply brought a bag of dry food over here.

"Master." He went to Meng Changqing and waited for a while, until the last citizen had chosen a place and waited for her to write down her name, then he held up the package and said, "Would you like to have something to eat?"

"I'm not hungry. Do you have any water?" Meng Changqing had been talking for such a long time that his throat was already smoking.

"Yes!" Bafang returned to the horse, took off the water bag and handed it to Meng Changqing.

The water in the water bag was warm, just right for drinking. Meng Changqing took several gulps before stopping.

"Master, if you have anything to tell me to do, you can take a rest first."

"It's almost over." Meng Changqing held the water bag in his hand and didn't even plan to return it to Bafang. "When you came out, were Cheng Guang and the others awake?"

Bafang said, "I came out directly from the back hall and didn't notice it. How about I go back and call them over?"

"No, there's no need to send someone to watch all the time in broad daylight." Meng Changqing looked around and said, "Get on the horse and go check on Lord Bai."

Zheng Hongyu followed the yamen runners to an open space, which had been surrounded by a sparse fence. Inside, a couple was making earthen bricks.

The couple saw her and nodded to her as a greeting.

Zheng Hongyu saw a lot of earth bricks piled in the yard, so she knew that the family must have arrived early. Looking at the couple, they should be friendly people. Thinking of this, she walked forward and asked, "Excuse me..."

I spoke rashly and didn't know what to say afterwards.

Mei Zi heard the voice and looked up at Zheng Hongyu. "What's wrong?" (End of this chapter)
