Chapter 255 Just Show You Off

After a short confrontation with Mu Jiaojiao, Mrs. Wu also fell into deep thought.

"Daughter-in-law Erlang, are you mad at Mrs. Cui Liu?" Mrs. Zuo Zhifu hurriedly comforted her in a low voice, "That little lady has a small mind, but she has a big temper and a poisonous mouth. Master who refuses to suffer, don't be as knowledgeable as her."

"I'm not angry. I'm just thinking that she doesn't seem to be as bad as you said." Mrs. Wu said.

Mrs. Zuo Zhifu was startled when she heard the words, and quickly touched her forehead: "You are not mad because of anger, are you?"

Mrs. Wu shook her head: "I'm telling the truth. If it wasn't for the hostile relationship between Erlang and Cui Liu, I really wanted to be friends with her. It's a pity... hey!"

After having lunch at Zuo Zhifu's mansion, Cui Pu and his party made another appointment to go out for a drink.This time the Slender West Lake couldn't be beaten to death, so they chose Guanyin Mountain.

Huang Zhixian suggested: "Why don't you bring your wife with you this time! There are more people and it's more lively, isn't it?"

The others nodded in agreement.Each one of them was secretly thinking about it—they had already heard about Cui Pu's concern for his sick wife.As long as his wife can establish a good relationship with Mu Jiaojiao, then if there is any good thing for Cui Pu in the future, wouldn't he miss them?And if there is anything you want to ask Cui Pu for help, you just need to ask Mu Jiaojiao to help and say a few good words. Is he afraid that he will not think about it?

However, Cui Pu resisted this proposal. "My wife is not in good health, I'm afraid she won't be able to stand up to this back and forth. Otherwise, let her forget it!"

Their target this time is Mu Jiaojiao, how could they let her forget it?

"Isn't our wife here? If Madam Zun is not feeling well, let them accompany her." Huang Zhixian said quickly.

Others kept persuading him, but Cui Pu had no choice but to ask someone to send a message to Mu Jiaojiao.Mu Jiaojiao readily agreed.

Guanyin Mountain is the former site of Milou, the palace and palace of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty in Yangzhou.After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, the Milou was also destroyed.Later generations built another temple on the foundation of Milou, and named it Guanyin Mountain.Because Guanyin Mountain has the highest terrain in Yangzhou, the designer of the mountain temple is also unique in building the treasure hall according to the mountain.Along the way, the ancient trees on both sides have twisted and twisted branches, and a touch of green buds have just emerged from the branches, which contrast with the towering red wall, revealing a touch of vitality in the solemnity.

It is well known that Mu Jiaojiao is in poor health.So before going up the mountain, Cui Pu ordered someone to prepare a bamboo sedan chair to carry her up.

This time Mrs. Huang received the order from the magistrate Huang, and came here specially to establish a good relationship with Mu Jiaojiao.Seeing this, she covered her lips and smiled and said, "Cui Xianzun is really kind to Mrs. Cui. I have lived for so many years, and I have never seen a little man who takes such good care of his wife. Look at you, think again I really envy and hate that dead old man in my family, I really want him to learn from Cui Zhixian!"

The other wives also had the same intention, so they echoed one after another, exaggerating the relationship between Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao.

Mu Jiaojiao smiled lightly, and seeing the disdain on Mrs. Wu's face over there, she said: "My husband loves me because I am not in good health, so he cares more about me. A couple is always the weak one. He should be taken care of more. Mrs. Wu, don’t you think so?”

Mrs. Wu's heart tugged - between her and Wu Lixin, isn't she the one who takes care of Wu Lixin more?Wu Lixin is completely qualified to be a playboy.Just being a county magistrate... that's far from it.But now, the Wu family has decided to let him enter the officialdom for training.No matter how poorly he did, since this path has been chosen, there will be no chance of turning back.Even though she knew he was not the material, she could only bite the bullet and accompany him to the end.

Just like now, the reason why the Wu family sent her here was just to make her keep an eye on Wu Lixin and prevent him from doing other wrong things.As long as he gets through this year smoothly, they will have a way to give him an excellent performance appraisal, and then raise his official position by one promotion.

But how could Wu Lixin be such a law-abiding person?In particular, there is Cui Pu who is always in comparison with him.Seeing Cui Pu making so many achievements again and again, he could no longer hold back!God knows how much effort she has spent to make him stay calm!
The reason why the Wu family appointed her to Wu Lixin was because of her tough temperament.Now, isn't she the one who is staring at him and controlling him?It's just that as a woman, who wants to live a life like this every day?She also hopes to have an indomitable man for her to rely on!
She was so aggrieved that she cried to her family, but instead she was scolded for being hypocritical.But who knows, the one who really understands her is Wu Lixin's nemesis' wife!
With a shock in her heart, she turned her head silently: "I don't understand what Mrs. Cui said. I'm not as weak as you, so weak that I can't even walk a few steps, and I don't need a man to take care of me."

The resentment in these words is not so deep!

Mu Jiaojiao smiled knowingly when she heard the words, then turned around and chatted with Mrs. Huang again.

When we reached the top of the mountain, we entered a purple bamboo forest, and everyone stopped here temporarily.After the food and wine were arranged, the men and women sat in two circles, and then began to chat again.

As soon as the new year is over, it will be the highlight of the year again - spring plowing.As a county magistrate, everyone is most concerned about the promotion of sweet potato planting.

After drinking for three rounds, Huang Zhixian quickly grabbed Cui Pu's words and said: "Cui Xianzun, last time you invited me to grow sweet potatoes with you, because I was cowardly and missed a great opportunity. I am wrong about this." But seeing that our two counties are adjacent and the many cooperations between you and me are very smooth, I have to be cheeky and beg you to give us some sweet potato seedlings. We don’t want too many, enough for half of the dry land in the county Planting is enough!"

"Okay! After I go back, I'll ask someone to start preparing the seedlings, and then I'll send them over with a knowledgeable person for guidance. What do you think?" He didn't beat around the bush, and Cui Pu readily agreed.

Huang Zhixian was overjoyed and nodded quickly. "What else do you need to give away! When the seedlings are ready, just let me know, and I'll ask someone to pick them up!"

"That's fine. But you have to pay for the food and lodging of the people who are sent to guide you. If you do well, you'd better give them a little hard work. After all, they have to leave what they are doing to help you." Cui Pu laughed.

"That's natural! Don't worry, as long as you are willing to send someone to guide, it will be a great face to me. How can we not provide such a talent with good food and drink?" Huang Zhixian's wish came true , immediately laughed.

Seeing this, the other county magistrates were so jealous that they immediately asked for the same treatment.

Cui Pu all readily agreed.

After briefly talking about the matter with everyone, his eyes fell on Wu Lixin who was burying his head in a drink.There was a flash of light in his eyes, and Cui Pu's lips immediately raised a smile: "However, Hailing County probably doesn't need it? I heard that you had a lot of sweet potatoes harvested at the end of last year? Since you have mastered it yourself If we don’t have the cultivation technology, it must not be a big problem to cultivate some seedlings this year and promote them to the whole county, don’t you think?”

Wu Lixin broke his heart after eating it.

Cui Pu, you bastard!He has hurt him!
At the end of last year, the sweet potatoes quietly planted by the gentry in Hailing County did have a good harvest.He was very proud at the beginning, and planned to take this opportunity to hit Cui Pu hard again-to make you proud, we also have this thing in Hailing County now, and it is quite a lot!Let me see how you still show off this thing in front of me!
In the end, who knows, Cui Pu somehow told the people in the household department that only 200 million catties were transported away, and the remaining 40 catties were all kept.He shared the change with others, and kept 40 catties for himself, and then opened a restaurant with his brother-in-law in a hurry!
For ten pennies, you can order a sweet potato.Once this news was released, sweet potatoes became a relatively common consumer product in Yangzhou—anyone can eat this food as long as they are willing to spend money.So what kind of rare item is this?
Especially in Tianchang County, it is a staple food that almost every household must have.But in Hailing County, this thing can only be tasted by respectable squires... This does not mean that all the squires in Hailing County—including his county grandfather—can barely be compared with the common people in Tianchang County ?
Not to mention, there are various ways to make sweet potatoes in Tianchang County, and a new way will be introduced every ten days and a half months.And here, except for cooking and roasting, there are very few others.Even if someone imitated the method of Weiji Restaurant and made it, the taste was a lot worse than others.

They were severely compared again.Moreover, it was still compared to the entire Tianchang County!
Cui Pu's slap was hard and heavy.Although he couldn't hear the sound, it made him hurt until now.

But now, seeing that the name of 'Sweet Potatoes in Tianchang County' is getting louder and louder, the gentry in Hailing County are ashamed to show the sweet potatoes they have so easily grown to others.After all, who doesn't know that their things are all stolen from Tianchang County?If this thing is taken out, people will point out that it is a fake, so it will be even more embarrassing!
Therefore, this year he was also extremely entangled.Although it was only the fourth day of junior high school, he could already imagine how embarrassing the spring wine he had in Hailing County would be in the coming days.

"Master Wuxian, do you think I'm right?" Cui Pu asked him with a smile on the other side.

What can Wu Lixin do now?He could only grit his teeth bitterly: "That's right! We don't need Cui Xianzun to worry about what we have!"

"Let me just say, Wu County respects you for being such a smart person, why do you need to ask for things from me? But if you don't prepare things for one county, we can save a lot of work and everyone can rest for a while You don't know that last year we were so busy from the beginning to the end of the year that we were almost exhausted!" Cui Pu said with a smile.

He is showing off!Hong Guoguo's show off!

Wu Lixin really wanted to bite him.

But in front of so many people, he still gritted his teeth and said: "When the sweet potatoes are popularized this year, everyone will know how to grow them, and you will be free in the future. Do whatever you want then!"

And over there, Mrs. Wu couldn't help rolling her eyes when she heard Wu Lixin's words, and the corners of her lips twitched slightly.

When Mu Jiaojiao found out, the corners of his lips fluttered and he smiled slightly.
