Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Bafang understood what Meng Changqing meant, and although he was holding back what he wanted to say, he could only stop abruptly.

Meng Changqing smiled and said: "Since it is cooked dinner, then go back and watch it."

Surprise flashed across Ma Lishan's guilty face. After saluting Meng Changqing, he quickly hid in the house.

If you take two steps forward, you can see him eating glutinous rice in the house.

"Master, why don't you let me tell you?" Bafang asked softly.

Meng Changqing then walked out, saying as he walked: "As long as you know some things in your heart, if you know it's him, let Captain Yang pay attention. Next time, just do it right. There is no need to make any announcement."

Bafang insisted on asking: "Then what if he doesn't do anything again?"

"Looking at what he did just now, he has tasted the benefits this time, how could he not do anything again?"

When the group of people walked to the end of the field, someone saw Meng Changqing coming and stopped what they were doing to salute her.

"You are busy with your business, don't worry about me."

Meng Changqing looked at the fields, where the people were struggling to pull plows, and some were plowing the ground with rakes. He thought, even if these people worked hard all day long, how much wasteland would they be able to cultivate before sowing?

After all, manpower is not as good as cows. She has to find a way to get a few cows.

Just as he was thinking about things, he suddenly saw Ma Laifu walking not far away. Thinking of Ma Lishan's salute just now, Meng Changqing asked Bafang to call Ma Laifu over.

"Mr. Meng." Ma Laifu lowered his head and stood in front of Meng Changqing.

"Let me ask you something, do you know Ma Lishan?" Meng Changqing asked.

"Your Excellency, I would like to ask if we knew each other before we came to Beishan County." Ma Laifu said, "He is a servant of the Ma family like me, but after he came to Beishan County, he stayed in the mountains for a while. I heard rumors that he He stole something on the mountain, so he was driven down."

According to Ma Laifu, most of the Ma family were assigned to go up the dangerous mountains.

Ma Lishan made a mistake in the later stage and was kicked off.

"What about you? It sounds like you haven't even climbed the mountain yet."

"I am... a servant of the second house of the Ma family. At that time, the Ma family was the head of the second house. After committing a crime, the second house and the head of the house were all killed. We servants and the eldest house of the Ma family were sent here.

They didn't like us in the first place, so naturally they couldn't take us up the mountain. "

"I see." Meng Changqing heard some old stories, "No matter what life was like in the past, the most important thing is to live well now. Just go on with your business."

"Yes."

After Ma Laifu left, Meng Changqing walked around the field. The turned-up soil was full of grass roots. Now that the temperature was getting warmer, weeds were sprouting out crazily.

To leave it to future generations, just apply herbicide water directly, but now we can only pull it out manually.

Meng Changqing rolled up his sleeves and went to the ground to pick up a basket of grass roots. If these dug-out grass roots were not picked up, they would take root in the soil again in two or three days.

Wild fire, in spring.

This is not a good thing for those who farm.

Seeing that it was getting dark, she returned to the Yamen.

She thought about it all night in the room. Then she got up early and asked Bafang to prepare horses and go to Liangzhou City.

When she wants to go out, Xi Bei, Chu Mufeng, and Wang Xun will always follow her.

Xi Bei was worried about the Royal Forest Army and had to watch it with her own eyes. The Royal Forest Army was forced to send two people to follow due to the emperor's order.

In addition to these three, there is also Bafang, who simply wants to follow him.

The five of them all rode horses and soon passed through Yangmen County and arrived at Liangzhou.

Chu Mufeng still said the same thing, "Mr. Meng, our Royal Forest Army has some family letters to send back to the capital."

"Master Bai, please help yourself. I have something to do at the drug store. We will meet up in Dongshi later." "Please be careful, sir."

After watching Chu Mufeng and Wang Xun leave in the direction of the post house, Meng Changqing dismounted, handed the reins to Bafang, and entered Doctor Hu's pharmacy.

Meng Changqing has been to Liangzhou City many times, but this is the first time he has received Doctor Hu's prescription.

Doctor Hu was dividing the medicine in front of the medicine cabinet. When he saw that the person coming was Meng Changqing, he immediately handed the scale on his hand to his daughter, "Go on and divide the medicine."

"Isn't this Mr. Meng?" Dr. Hu came out from behind the counter, "Why do you have time to come to my side today?"

"Doctor Hu." Meng Changqing greeted with a smile, "It's my fault, I'm late."

Doctor Hu turned around and walked inside. Meng Changqing waved to Hu Xiaohua and quickly followed Doctor Hu.

"I heard that you have done something big in Beishan County. No wonder you don't have time to come to me." Dr. Hu entered the courtyard and sat down on the stone bench in the center. "Actually, it would be better if you didn't come. I don't have much time here." Good place." He asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine." Meng Changqing said, "I'm here to pick up the child today."

"I asked Xiaodai to pick up the child before. He said that you live in a cave and have no place to place your children. Why don't you live in a cave now?"

"That was just a stop-gap measure, and of course it can't be stopped now."

Doctor Hu looked at Meng Changqing standing in front of him, "You have grown a little taller again."

Meng Changqing didn't notice it himself, "Probably, it's the time when I'm growing taller."

Doctor Hu suddenly shouted loudly: "Mute! Come out."

"Mute?" Meng Changqing asked, "Then the child can't speak?"

"It's not that I can't speak, it's that I refuse to speak."

Just in time for these two sentences, a child came out of the room in the backyard.

Her appearance has changed a lot from before. There is flesh on her face and body, her hair is tied up with a hair rope, and there is a flower tied at the end of her hair. She is wearing Hu Xiaohua's old clothes.

If it weren't for those big eyes, Meng Changqing would never have recognized him.

"It turned out to be a little girl."

"Take her away quickly, so you don't cause trouble in my place." Dr. Hu complained, "I can't even expose the medicinal materials to her here. If I can't stand her, she will eat them with them. Fortunately, I didn't expose them to poisonous ones." Medicine.”

Meng Changqing squatted in front of the child, "I'll take you to a different place to live, okay?"

"She won't pay attention to you. She only reacts when she wants to eat."

Before Doctor Hu finished speaking, the child nodded.

Meng Changqing patted her shoulder, took off the money bag from his waist, and placed it in front of Dr. Hu, "This is a little bit of my thoughts, please accept it."

Doctor Hu opened the money bag and saw that there were 20 taels of silver in it. He took the money bag together and said, "It's not too much. She ate a lot of my food."

"I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Doctor Hu stood up and walked them to the door.

As soon as Meng Changqing left, Mrs. Hu came back, "I think the two people in front look a bit like Changqing and Bafang."

"It's them."

"Since they are here, why don't you let them eat?"

Doctor Hu turned around and walked into the room, "She is an official and I am a citizen. Why do you know me so well?"

Dongshi was originally the place where livestock was bought and sold in Liangzhou. When Meng Changqing arrived, Chu Mufeng and Wang Xun were already waiting there.

A few people walked around the East Market and saw only a few people selling mules and donkeys. There were very few people selling cattle. Occasionally, they saw an old cow.
