Xie Yucheng also spotted Jiang Ning immediately and hurried forward, "Ms. Jiang, what a coincidence!"

Jiang Ning saluted and replied softly: "Just after the spring plowing, the women came to give some things to their children."

Xie Yucheng suddenly realized and was a little surprised, "Your child is in this school?"

There were two schools relatively close to Rongshu Village. He never expected that Jiang Ning would send his children so far away.

"As people go to higher places, water flows to lower places. Lin Xiucai and He Xiucai are famous. Since women want to provide education for their children, they naturally want to choose the best husband for them as much as possible."

These words made Xie Yucheng look at Jiang Ning. He nodded slightly and led Dong Ze and others into the school gate.

The students who passed by saw that Jiang Ning knew the county magistrate and immediately asked the concierge. After a while, everyone in the school knew that the Yang Changsong brothers had an unusual family background. Those who usually succumbed to Yang Santie's "powerful power" had to bow their heads. After knowing this, his classmates were all willing to accept him as their boss.

At this time, Xie Yucheng was sitting in the school building, looking at the old man in front of him uneasily, "Sir, this is what happened. Please show me a clear path!"

Ming Boxheng looked calmly at the tea smoke rising from the table, and said thoughtfully: "Have you investigated this matter clearly?"

Xie Yucheng shook his head with a grimace, "The lower official asked people to investigate secretly. They only found out that the county captain Xu Dongming was the mastermind behind the county examination and the government examination. However, the government examination was presided over by the prefect. How could he, a small county captain, get it?" Exam questions? I just don’t know who is involved in it at the prefect’s yamen. The subordinates are afraid of stirring up trouble and do not dare to investigate further. Seeing that the prefectural examination is coming soon, and then the county examination of Ping’an County.

If the other party is allowed to continue to act recklessly, the official's official career will soon come to an end! "

After hearing this, Ming Boxheng still looked like an old god, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Why panic! Since you don't know how deep the water is, don't go into the muddy water first. The most important thing is to protect yourself wisely."

Xie Yucheng was stunned, "Sir?"

Ming Boxheng raised his lips sarcastically, "They must have been doing this kind of thing for more than a year or two. It's just crazy for you, a lowly official like you, to expose this matter. If I were still in the court, I could help. You give me a hand, but now that I have become an official, I am settled in a corner, and even if I have the intention, I am unable to do so. What you have to do now is to deal with this county examination first, and let’s talk about next year’s affairs next year.”

Xie Yucheng's frowning brows still didn't relax at all. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, if the subordinate informs Academician Zhong about this matter, do you think he can take care of it?"

Ming Boxheng breathed a long sigh of relief, his eyes dark, "If I guessed correctly, he will preside over the college examination in August this year, but he can only be in charge of the college examination, and the county examination and government examination cannot get involved, and he is really against the prefect. There’s no bargain, I think you can give him a heads up, but don’t let him get involved in this matter.”

Xie Yucheng looked unwilling and helpless.

Jiang Ning, who had already left Mapo, had no idea how many important people were kept awake at night by what she said. Mother and daughter made a special trip to Linjiang Inn before returning to Rongshu Village.

When the flower shopkeeper saw her, it was like seeing the God of Wealth, and he ordered hundreds of catties of spring bamboo shoots from her as soon as he opened his mouth.

Jiang Ning raised his eyebrows in amusement, "Shopkeeper Flower, you should also have these spring bamboo shoots here."

Shopkeeper Hua shook his head vigorously, "I thought so too, but I asked the waiter to go for a walk in the bamboo forest. See what he dug up for me!"

The flower shopkeeper was furious, and the waiter brought out a basket of slender wild bamboo shoots in frustration.

Jiang Ning's eyes lit up and he asked, "Where did you get all this?"

The waiter quickly pointed in the direction, "We only have this kind of bamboo shoots here, not the ones Mrs. Jiang digs."

Jiang Ning laughed dumbly, "In that case, I'll deliver it. Pan Xiuniang, the boat girl on the Wei River, happened to be delivering goods to my house. From now on, I asked her to deliver a batch of spring bamboo shoots here every few days. This thing is weighed, and I want it. Not much, a penny per catty, is that feasible?" "Okay, okay! As long as Mrs. Jiang guarantees that it will be the same as the bamboo shoots delivered today." Shopkeeper Hua said very cheerfully.

After Jiang Ning returned to Rongshu Village, he immediately delivered the materials Zhang requested to the workshop.

The women in the village immediately teased Mr. Zhang when they saw the red material.

Mrs. Zhang smiled brightly and said cheerfully: "When my Xiao is married, I will treat the people in the workshop to rice cakes!"

"Hey! I remember what you said! I won't agree if there are no rice cakes then!" A woman joked.

Zhang promised again, asked Jiang Ning for the price, and went back to get the money with the red cloth in hand.

Jiang Ning took the opportunity to look at the Fang brothers who were concentrating on their work, and asked Li in a low voice: "Mom, how are they doing during this time?"

"Okay! You just took Xiaoya on a long trip that day. The village chief and your father sent people back to pull out the adobes. We almost couldn't provide them. Fortunately, their brothers were very capable and worked quickly and well. In an hour I was able to break down dozens of adobe bricks, and when the sun was shining brightly, I quickly made up the adobe bricks, one for ten!”

Mr. Li was full of praise for the four Fang brothers, and the others were similar. Some even wanted to act as matchmakers for them because they saw how capable they were.

That's how people in the village are, they tell the truth and mix it up with jokes, just to see if the other person takes it seriously.

Jiang Ning saw that everything was going well in the workshop and the work in the fields was not delayed. Fang's brothers became more and more satisfied, so they stopped worrying about the workshop and devoted themselves to their picking business. Before the spring bamboo shoots in Rongshu Village, she picked them every day. Heading up the mountain with a hoe.

It was too slow to dig alone. Fortunately, there were two children, Xiaoya and Xiaohua, who helped. Two days later, even Da Ya and Er Ya came over with hoes to help.

However, the two girls looked a little uneasy, not even daring to raise their heads while standing in front of Jiang Ning.

After not seeing each other for a while, the two children seemed to have grown a lot taller and lost a lot of weight.

Erya was bolder and summoned up the courage to say to Jiang Ning, "Auntie, we are here to help."

"Who asked you to come?" Jiang Ning asked with raised eyebrows.

The two sisters looked at each other like children who had done something wrong, then lowered their heads.

Da Ya said in a low voice: "My grandma said that my uncle lent me three hundred yuan to treat my father and brother. We want to repay my uncle's debt."

"Have you finished the geography work?" Jiang Ning asked again.

The two girls nodded in unison, "We didn't come until we were finished."

"Okay, you see how I dig it." Jiang Ning showed a few children, and saw that they were doing well, then he felt free to continue working.

A few people could dig about 500 kilograms a day, but Jiang Ning refused to let them work in vain. Each of them was given ten cents. The two younger ones hugged the money happily, but the elder Ya and Er Ya did not dare to ask for it. Jiang Ning gave the money to Li. , and asked Li to hand it over to them.

Mrs. Li counted the money in Yang Laoer's salary and told her two granddaughters about it when she got back, "You have done a good job. In the future, your aunt will still not be able to take the money. If she gives it to me, I will directly I’m here to give it to you, Dad. If I don’t have it, I can’t have any opinions, do you understand?”
