Chapter 254 Dongshi County Magistrate
This year was the most comfortable year that Cui Pu lived in Yangzhou, and it was also the most affluent year for the people of Tianchang County in their lives.

Because of the planting of sweet potatoes in these two seasons, not only the reputation of the whole Tianchang County was greatly shaken, but the money was pouring in, almost filling everyone's pockets.Now not only the problem of food and clothing is solved, but everyone's life is rushing towards a well-off society collectively.

In the first half of the month, you can see every household slaughtering pigs and sheep, and carloads of people bring New Year's goods to their homes. The taste of the New Year is many times better than in previous years.

Of course, everyone knows that their good life is all because of the hard work of Cui Pu, the county magistrate.Most of the people are simple and honest, and they must repay their kindness, so there is no need for Mu Jiaojiao to make arrangements for the New Year's goods. Since the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, people have been sending things over, and they have always prepared everything they need.

Facing the New Year's goods piled up half the yard, Mu Jiaojiao was moved, but also a little powerless.

Cui Pu was very happy to see it: "This shows that our actions in the past two years are very popular! This is a good phenomenon. We must continue to maintain it and strive to do a good job in the last year."

"So, you take things from the common people with peace of mind?"

"Of course! Compared with what I received, I brought them more, okay? And soon I have to repair the road for them. When the road is repaired, their life will definitely get better and better. This thing is worth it What?"

"That's right." Mu Jiaojiao nodded, then smiled at him, "In this case, I would like to congratulate Cui Xianzun, you have done a good job as the county magistrate, and your grades in three years must be excellent."

"Same joy, same joy. Everything I have obtained now is all due to your all-out help. At least half of the credit here should be shared with you!" Cui Pu quickly returned the gift with a smile.

The young couple complimented each other, saluted each other, and had a great time.In the end, they all laughed together.

After a year of joy and joy, on the fourth day of the lunar new year, the couple went to Zuozhifu, the capital city of Yangzhou, to pay New Year's greetings.

This time, not only all the county magistrates in Yangzhou Prefecture respected Cui Pu - of course, except Wu Lixin, even the Zuo Zhifu also smiled and showed great enthusiasm to him.During the meal, seeing that Cui Pu and other county magistrates were going to sit together, he quickly waved to him: "Cui Xianzun, come here, there are some friends in this house who want to introduce you."

Cui Pu passed by and sat down on the right hand side of Zuo Zhifu.Looking around, the other people on the table were all well-known figures in Yangzhou City, who could almost sit on the same level as Zuo Zhifu, and usually didn't pay much attention to Cui Pu, a small magistrate like Cui Pu.

But this time, seeing Cui Pu came over, they all got up and greeted him.After the food and wine were served, they took turns drinking with him, and they became very warm with each other.

Among all the magistrates in Yangzhou Prefecture, he was the only one who enjoyed such preferential treatment, and the other magistrates still huddled up on the next table obediently, playing with their own people.

For Cui Pu's super-level treatment, it is impossible for everyone not to be jealous.But, who told Cui Pu to be capable?The young Mr. Xiao Lang has only been here for two years, and he has done such a big thing, which has brought about earth-shaking changes in Tianchang County.They are all county magistrates, they are ashamed of themselves.

"It seems that after another year, this Cui county magistrate will go far away and get promoted!" Looking at the hot scene over there, Huang magistrate sighed sincerely.

"That's right! I never expected that such a young gentleman would have such courage, and he would actually get things done! If I were at his age, I'm afraid I don't have the guts to invest so much manpower and material resources Do these things! So, even at this age, I can only submit to him, I submit!"

Others also nodded in admiration.

These words got into Wu Lixin's ears, and it made him feel very uncomfortable.Everyone saw it and laughed mockingly, and there was not much restraint in their words.

Wu Lixin couldn't sit still, so he stood up and said, "I'll go to the latrine."

"Your Majesty Wuxian, please!" The others hurriedly sent him away cheerfully.And as soon as the person left, someone immediately laughed, "As a county magistrate, he has the nerve to show us a face? Don't even think about his current name—the county magistrate of Dongshi!"

puff!
As soon as this name was mentioned, the others burst into laughter.

When Mu Jiaojiao heard about this title, she couldn't help but laugh too.

"Dongshi county magistrate... Dongshi county magistrate! Who came up with this? It's really..." It's so humiliating!

"Isn't this the truth? Since you came here, he has learned what you are doing? You are the bully in the county, he is learning to do it; you set up a greenhouse to grow things, and he also spends money. You are trying to grow sweet potatoes to improve people's livelihood, and he secretly asked people to steal your sweet potato seedlings! All of these are nothing but imitations of Dong Shi. It would be appropriate to give him the title of County Magistrate Dong Shi That's all!" Liu said with a smile.

Mu Jiaojiao tightly clenched the handkerchief in his hand and couldn't hold back the smile, so he could only forcefully say: "Although you say that, it's still a bit too cramped to call it that way."

"They have the guts to do this, don't they allow people to talk about it? If they are capable, they will make some careers for others to see! They will always follow others' backs to pick up ready-made ones, and secretly dig and stumbling others. Wasn't it because there was someone behind him, did he think he could still sit here safely drinking and having fun with others?" Liu snorted coldly.

It seems that even the people in Yangzhou look down on Wu Lixin, the magistrate of Hailing County!He is also very good at being an official.

The two were talking, and a sneer came from each other: "Are you two talking about my husband?"

Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly turned her head, and saw a young woman with a dignified and beautiful face and very fashionable clothes walking towards her.

This person is Wu Lixin's wife, a young lady who was born in the Pei family in Hedong, and was sent by the Wu family to accompany Wu Lixin after the Chinese New Year last year.

When she came to them, Mrs. Wu asked again: "I just heard you talking about the county magistrate of Dongshi, but you were talking about my husband?"

Liu's face froze, while Mu Jiaojiao nodded with a smile: "Yes! We are talking about him. By the way, you must have heard of this title Mrs. Wu!"

"I've heard of it." Mrs. Wu smiled, "But after hearing about it, I'm also very curious. You said, they all say that my husband is imitating others, so isn't the target of this imitation Cui Xianzun? Cui County Well done sir, there is nothing wrong with comparing him to Xi Shi. But I seem to remember that the records of Xi Shi, a great beauty in the annals, are not very good, she is a seductress who has subjugated the country, and the end result is also very bad!"

This woman's morality is much higher than that of Wu Lixin, no wonder the Wu family sent him here.

Look, now she has already begun to curse Cui Pu in a strange way to die in the future.

It's a pity that Mu Jiaojiao never believed in these things.Hearing this, she just raised her lips and smiled slightly: "Madam Wu said so, but did you admit it?"

Madam Wu's complexion changed slightly: "I'm just reminding Madam Cui that this is not a good name."

"It doesn't matter! According to the records in history, Beauty Xishi was from the country of Yue, and the country that died because of her was the country of Wu, which was her enemy country. For the sake of the old country, she used some beauties to destroy the enemy country. This is a good thing! My husband was born so well, if he can really do something like Xi Shi, paralyze other countries with his beauty, and then cooperate with my soldiers of the New Tang Dynasty to destroy other countries and merge them into our territory of the New Tang Dynasty, I will definitely raise my hands I agree!" Mu Jiaojiao said softly.

Speaking of this, she suddenly changed her subject: "It's a pity that there seems to be no such thing as a country subjugated because of male sex in this world. Besides, my New Tang Dynasty has millions of troops, sharp as a knife, and victorious in every battle. How can he use his beauty to do such things? What he can do now is to use his only little ability to make a better life for the people in Tianchang County."

Madam Wu gritted her teeth secretly when she heard the words: "Madam Cui can really talk. I never knew before that your teeth are so sharp."

"I didn't know it before, but it's not too late to know now! Anyway, we will have more time to deal with each other in the future!" Mu Jiaojiao said with a smile.

"Indeed, there will be plenty of time for us to deal with each other in the future!" Mrs. Wu also smiled, as if she agreed with her statement very much.

While speaking, Mrs. Zuo Zhifu and her party walked over here.When she saw Mu Jiaojiao who was full of smiles, Mrs. Zuo Zhifu's eyes flashed, and she subconsciously turned her head away.

"Daughter-in-law Erlang, what are you doing there? Come here quickly, I still have something to say to you!" She quickly waved to Madam Wu.

Madam Wu smiled at Mu Jiaojiao again: "My cousin is calling me, so I will go there first."

"Madam Wu, go slowly." Mu Jiaojiao also smiled back.Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said to Mrs. Wu's back, "By the way, I think the title of Dongshi County Magistrate seems to be quite suitable. You see, my husband is as famous as Xi Shi beauty." The world is over, and it is certain that her name will go down in history. It's just that Dong Shi, she will be famous through the ages by imitating her. Although it is not a good reputation, it has attracted the attention of many people anyway, so that future generations will never forget it. She, this is also a skill, don't you think, Mrs. Wu?"

Mrs. Wu's body froze, and a slight trembling could be seen obviously.

She took a deep breath, then turned her head and smiled brightly at Mu Jiaojiao: "Madam Cui, you are right. No matter what the reason is, it is not an easy task to be famous through the ages!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head away and quickly joined Mrs. Zuo Zhifu, and the two hurried away together.

Liu Shi listened to their conversation and couldn't help but be speechless.

"Mrs. Cui, your tone just now was a bit too impolite. This group of people surnamed Wu are extremely narrow-minded. Aren't you afraid that they will bear a grudge against you again and secretly retaliate?"

"We don't know how many enemies we have, and this one is not bad." Mu Jiaojiao said indifferently.As she spoke, she sighed again, "But speaking of it, Mrs. Wu is actually a good lady. I like her temperament. It's a pity that she married Wu Lixin, a coward. Her life is ruined, and we are destined not to be friends. What a pity!"
