Chapter 24 Not a Corrupt Official
After feeling confident, Li said with a slight hostility: "Who are you looking for?"

Chuntao was very dissatisfied with Li's tone and attitude and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Wu Xiangling.

Wu Xiangling smiled at Mrs. Li and said politely: "Hello, sister-in-law, I'm here to see Zhou Xiu Niang."

"Looking for my third younger brother and sister?" Li looked at Wu Xiangling defensively, "What do you want to do with my third younger brother and sister?"

"I'm here to get the things Zhou Xiu Niang helped me embroider." Wu Xiangling explained good-naturedly.

Only then did Mrs. Li realize that she had made a mistake, and her attitude immediately changed. She greeted Wu Xiangling in with an extraordinarily warm smile, "It turns out that you are the third brother and sister's patron. Come in and invite me in."

After inviting the people in, Mrs. Li shouted loudly towards Zhou Ran and her family, "Third brother and sister, your patron is here to see you."

Zhou Ran came out after hearing the sound and was a little surprised to see Wu Xiangling coming in person. She thought Wu Xiangling would at most let Chuntao go.

But she didn't say anything. After saying hello to Wu Xiangling, she took out the picture of Guanyin she had embroidered and unfolded it in front of Wu Xiangling and the others.

"Miss Wu, take a look at this picture of Guanyin, are you satisfied with it?"

Wu Xiangling's eyes lit up as soon as she saw the picture of Guanyin opened by Zhou Ran. After hearing Zhou Ran's words, she nodded repeatedly, "Satisfied, satisfied. Madam's embroidery is really good."

Zhou Ran smiled modestly and said, "As long as Miss Wu is satisfied."

"Madam embroidered with so much care, how could I be dissatisfied." Wu Xiangling said with a smile, "I'm afraid the money I gave to madam before was a bit short. I'll make up for it with another hundred taels of silver. Madam, don't be too short."

What could Zhou Ran say in the face of such a generous Wu Xiangling? Of course, he quickly thanked him and took the banknote.

After Wu Xiangling got the embroidery picture, she didn't stay at Ye's house for long. When Zhou Ran sent her out, she said to Zhou Ran very sincerely: "The picture of Guanyin that Madam embroidered this time has helped me a lot. If Madam will do it in the future, If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to the Wu Mansion next to the county government office to find me."

Zhou Ran did not refuse Wu Xiangling's kindness, "Okay, I just embroidered this handkerchief. Give it to Miss Wu. Just think of it as my thanks to Miss Wu for her kindness." You have these words from the daughter of the county magistrate. Now, she doesn't have to worry about being randomly caused trouble in the future.

Zhou Ran said this, Wu Xiangling took the handkerchief from Zhou Ran and got on the carriage.

After the carriage had walked for a while, Wu Xiangling discovered that the embroidered handkerchief Zhou Ran gave her was not the same ordinary embroidered handkerchief as before, but a very rare double-sided embroidered handkerchief.

Chuntao looked at the embroidered handkerchief in Wu Xiangling's hand and said with surprise and satisfaction: "This embroiderer surnamed Zhou can actually do double-sided embroidery? I don't know where she learned it, but she can be considered sensible if she can give the lady this handkerchief." .”

Wu Xiangling heard this and scolded Chuntao softly: "You are talking nonsense again."

Chuntao argued without fear at all: "What nonsense are you talking about? The young lady promised that she will come to you if she has something to do in the future. It is appropriate for her to give you a double-sided embroidered handkerchief."

Wu Xiangling shook her head, "I asked her to come to me if she had anything to do in the future. It was because I was grateful for her efforts in embroidering this picture of Guanyin. Who would have thought that she would turn around and give me such a handkerchief again? It's me who took advantage again."

"How could Miss take advantage of her? Miss, do you know how rare it is for ordinary people like them that you are willing to help her in the future?" Chuntao finished speaking with a bit of hatred, then changed her tone and said again "But this embroiderer surnamed Zhou is really attentive to what the lady told me. When the lady takes out this picture of Guanyin on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, she will definitely make Mrs. Qin smile." Wu Xiangling blushed a little when he heard this and said, "Old Madam, can Just like her, brother Hao has always been filial to the old lady, and he should be happy too when the old lady is happy."

Wu Xiangling had always been fond of Qin Hao, and the Qin family also wanted Qin Hao to marry Wu Xiangling. Mrs. Qin had expressed in front of Wu Xiangling more than once that she was her daughter-in-law, so Wu Xiangling felt that it was only a matter of time before she married Qin Hao.

After Zhou Ran saw Wu Xiangling off, she took the banknote given by Wu Xiangling and returned to his and Ye Ximing's room.

In the room, Ye Ximing was flipping through a book in his hand casually. The weather was not very cold now. Zhou Ran and the others could only wear jackets, but Ye Ximing had already put on a thin cotton coat. Even so, his expression remained expressionless. So pale.

Seeing him like this, Zhou Ran couldn't help but feel a layer of worry in her heart.

Ye Ximing didn't know Zhou Ran's worries. Seeing Zhou Ran come in, he put down the book in his hand and looked up and asked, "Sent the person away?"

"Yeah." Zhou Ran responded, told him Wu Xiangling's identity, and said to him with some suspicion: "A county magistrate's annual salary should not be much. Miss Wu is so generous. Do you think she is Wu Xiangling?" Corrupt?"

When Ye Ximing was studying in the academy, his classmates would occasionally mention Magistrate Wu. He knew a little about Magistrate Wu's family. After hearing Zhou Ran's guess, he smiled and shook his head, saying, "Probably not." , Although Magistrate Wu is just a magistrate and his salary is not much, Magistrate Wu’s family is rich and has a lot of land. In addition, he later married the daughter of a wealthy businessman, so his family must not be short of money."

Zhou Ran nodded and said, "That's good."

If Magistrate Wu was not a corrupt official, she would be able to interact with Wu Xiangling more safely.

Zhou Ran originally thought that after completing Wu Xiangling's task, the system would disappear for a while and then assign a new task to herself when her health was almost exhausted. Who would have thought that Wu Xiangling would take away the third piece of the Guanyin figure? The next day, the system assigned Zhou Ran a new task.

[Short-term mission: Teach embroidery skills to people in Xiyao Village who want to learn embroidery, and select people with real embroidery talent to be accepted as apprentices. HP +40 (limited to thirty days)]

After Zhou Ran read this new task back and forth twice, she left the house and went to the yard behind Ye's house to find Zhang who was planting spinach.

Seeing Zhou Ran, Mrs. Zhang stopped what she was doing and said softly: "Aran, why are you here? Mom doesn't need your help here. Go and do your embroidery work quickly. If you're tired, just wait in the yard." Take a walk around here, or go to the village for a walk."

Zhou Ran stood at the edge of the garden and said with a smile: "Mom, I have something to ask you."

Mrs. Zhang said seriously: "What's the matter, tell me!"

Zhou Ran said: "Didn't the people in the village want to learn embroidery from me before? I was thinking that I would take the time to teach them during this period."

"Do you really want to teach them?" Madam Zhang said worriedly, "If you teach them, will it have an impact on you?"

Zhou Ran shook her head and said: "No, mother, even if I teach them, they may not be able to learn to my level. I just want to teach them some simple stitches so that they can embroider handkerchiefs by themselves." Go to the county or town to sell them, so they won’t bother me all day long.”
