Chapter 642 The Truth
"Is this how the lady in charge of the Guo family trained you?"

Wu Wuniang pushed away the little maid's hand that was helping her back, looked at her unexpectedly, and asked coldly.

"what?"

The little maid was taken aback, wondering what evil Wu Wuniang had committed, didn't they all get along like this before?

"Leaving aside our current status as master and servant, I am also a guest of Guo Biejia, how can you treat me so slowly?"

Wu Wuniang's lips curled into a haughty sneer, and she said confidently: "I think I am a dignified daughter of the Wu family, even if I become a widow now, she is also a noble lady, and she is definitely not something that a lowly servant like you can insult." ?”

"Hmph, Wu Wuniang? Is this lady's boudoir name you can call me?"

The more Wu Wuniang spoke, the more angry she became. If it wasn't for worrying that someone would hear her and attract the attention of the servants of the governor's mansion, her volume would definitely be raised several degrees.

The little servant girl was stunned by the training at first, and she came back to her senses after a while, and said angrily and funnyly: "Oh, it's only been a few days, the 'lady' has forgotten the embarrassment she had when she joined our husband that day. ?! Haha, still a 'lady'? You deserve it too!"

"You, you... Presumptuous!"

When someone mentioned the most embarrassing moment in her life, Wu Wuniang's face flushed red, her chest heaved violently, and she wished she could reach out and slap the lowly maid twice.

That's right, she was really miserable at that time. As soon as her husband died, those bullshit elders of her husband's family forced her to adopt an heir. Although the heir looked good, Wu Wuniang didn't want to be a widow for the rest of her life.

However, in her situation, it is simply impossible for her to take away the property left by her husband, since she has no biological children and refuses to have a step-heir.

Fortunately, she heard that the local emperor of Shanzhou was related to her mother's family, so she made a banner with Guo Biejia's tiger skin, and insisted on getting back one-third of the property from her husband's family.

But after her troubles like this, she couldn't stay in Lanzhou any longer, so she prepared to return to Beijing with her dowry and the one-third of her family property.

Who would have thought that they would encounter robbers on the way, those thugs not only robbed money but also killed them, if it wasn't for Wu Wuniang's effective guards, she would never have survived today.

His life was saved, but all his belongings were looted. Except for a few pieces of jewelry on his body and a few pieces of flying money in his purse, Wu Wuniang was almost penniless.

Having no money and being frightened by the gangsters, Wu Wuniang temporarily decided not to return to Beijing, and instead went to Huangshui to join 'Uncle Guo'.

The guards and maids were all killed by the bandits in order to protect her, so Wu Wuniang rushed to Huangshui alone, stopping and going.

Everyone can imagine that in the ancient times when nothing was convenient, it was definitely not an easy task for a pampered and weak woman to walk alone and walk down hundreds of miles.

When Wu Wuniang arrived in Huangshui, although she was not dressed in rags, she was not much better. Her face, which had been thinned several times, was bloodless, with two big dark circles under her eyes, and her voice became much hoarse.

If she hadn't taken out the jewelry hidden next to her body to prove her identity, the concierge of the Guo family might have thrown her out as a refugee or a begging wife!

And the little girl in front of her witnessed Wu Wuniang's embarrassment with her own eyes, so when the two got along, every time Wu Wuniang put on a "lady" spectrum, the little girl would mock and beat her up.

At that time, Wu Wuniang didn't dare to express her resentment towards the little maid's "arrogance" because she was dependent on others, so she just endured it silently.

Now, she saved Cui Youbo's life, and after getting along with each other these days, she thinks that the two of them regained their old love, and she believes that it won't be long before she can marry into the Cui family.

At that time, she will definitely trample all those who have bullied and looked down on her!
The first to bear the brunt is this damn Aqin!
The little maid, that is, Aqin, was young, but she was sent by Guo Biejia to serve Wu Wuniang and let her follow her into the governor's mansion. She was not an ordinary person.

Aqin is very clever, and she is very good at winking. After hearing Wu Wuniang's scolding, she also came back to it—tsk tsk, this is not married to Cui Langjun, but Wu's money is actually placed by the mistress. My son, I completely forgot, whose blessing it is that she is able to have today!
Thinking of this level, Aqin felt more and more that she was doing the right thing today, and if Wu Wuniang was allowed to do whatever she wanted, she might forget her 'task'.

Nodding secretly, Ah Qin showed disdain on her immature face, and said coolly, "I'm presumptuous? Hmph, I think there are other people who are presumptuous."

"You~~"

Wu Wuniang was about to reprimand, but Aqin cut off the conversation and continued: "I know, you have once again lived a life of gold and jade, and you are in high spirits, thinking about how to return to Beijing, how to continue to be rich and honorable... That's true, of course, but—"

The ending sounded long, staring at Wu Wuniang with burning eyes, Aqin said coldly: "Please remember how I came to the Governor's Mansion."

After that, she chuckled twice, the sarcasm couldn't be concealed in the laughter, she deliberately lowered her voice, and reminded in a low voice: "You'd better be smart, sir, if you can get you to the governor's mansion, naturally there are ways to get you Get out, and it will also make you body, defeat, reputation, and ruin!"

Wu Wuniang shuddered, thinking of Guo Biejia's ruthless methods, and thinking of certain facts, a thick layer of cold sweat could not help but form on her back.

God, she, she almost made a big mistake.

Get carried away, these days are so comfortable for her, she lost her vigilance, she shouldn't, she really shouldn't.

Wu Wuniang is aware of current affairs, she could bear the ridicule of the little maid before, but now, in order to dispel the suspicion of Aqin and Guo Biejia behind her, she can also put down her figure.

Seeing that her facial features were distorted, she immediately grinned unnaturally, and said in a low voice: "Sister Aqin said that I was wrong today. But, sister Aqin, please rest assured, uncle explained to me , I never dare to forget. But now Cui Lang is still wary of me, and after all, I am just a 'guest', not his confidant, so it will take time for that matter."

Aqin raised her eyebrows, and seeing Wu Wuniang surrender, she was so happy that she couldn't be more happy, but her face was still cold, she nodded and said: "Well, this matter is really difficult to do, otherwise it won't be too much trouble if you don't drive." I put so much effort into preparation... However, 'it's not easy to do' and 'I don't want to do it' are two different things, so please be more careful, my lady."

While talking, Aqin grabbed her fist again and gently helped Wu Wuniang beat her leg.

On the surface, it looks like the little maidservant is serving the master, but in fact: "The maidservant is fine, just don't come here... Hehe, don't let us come from the army, with a fiery temper and limited patience. You can wait for a month or two. But it's been a long time~~"

Ah Qin did not say the rest, but the hidden threat made Wu Wuniang shiver again.

It seems that that matter must be stepped up, otherwise she will not only fail to return to the capital, but will end up in a tragic death in a foreign land.

Nodding vigorously, Wu Wuniang said that she would definitely work hard.

The voice of the master and servant talking was so low that even the rough maids serving in the verandah outside the door could not hear them.

But what they didn't expect was that when they were whispering, there was a strong man lying on the roof above his head. The conversation was overheard.

In the evening, Uncle Cui came back from the yamen, covered in travel and dust, with a tired and weary look on his face.

It was early spring, and it was the time for the people to plow in the spring.

Last year, the three counties of Shanzhou were devastated by Helu. Many fertile fields were trampled and burned, especially in Huangshui. A large field in the suburbs of the city has been turned into scorched earth. It will take time to fatten it up.

For this reason, Cui Youbo wrote a letter to the sage, requesting that Shanzhou's taxes be reduced for this year and next.

As for the sage, he just got the secret leaflet about the 'magical firearm' from Cui Youbo, and he was very happy. Seeing that Cui Youbo made a request with great difficulty, and it was still reasonable, he was also happy to be a 'benevolent king', so he said With a wave of the pen, he readily approved Cui Youbo's note.

Even so, if Shanzhou wants to fully recover, it still needs the whole prefecture to work together for several years.

Coincidentally, Cui Youbo has successfully planted the potatoes that Xiao Nan asked Li Rong to send in his own field, and the results of the experiment are just as Xiao Nan said, the yield is extremely high, and he does not choose the field, and the edible value is also very high .

Cui Youbo was very happy, and immediately ordered Si Nong to organize farmers to study and promote potatoes throughout the state.

Because there are specific examples, and Cui Youbo's prestige in Shanzhou is extremely high, the farmers are still very active in cooperating with this strange crop.

Selecting land, raising seedlings (in fact, waiting for the potato stems to germinate), planting, and the whole family are busy.

Of course, in addition to potatoes, the main food crops are still indispensable.In addition, apart from Huangshui, the water source problems in the other two counties also need to be resolved.

After He Lu withdrew last year, Cui Youbo planned to dig canals in the other two counties to divert water from the Huangshui River.

It’s just that the project was a bit big, and the Turkic people had just been repelled at that time. The timing was not good. Cui Youbo just ordered the engineer to lead a group of river workers to investigate the terrain on both sides of the Huangshui River and choose a suitable river section for trenching.

After a year of preparation last year, in the spring of this year, Cui Youbo officially decided to dig a canal through the river to completely solve the water source problem in Shanzhou.

However, the matter of connecting the river still needs to wait for the spring plowing, and then there will be sufficient labor.

In addition, Cui Youbo also believes that in another 20 days, he will be able to completely solve the "trouble" of the state government office.

Back at the Governor's Mansion, Cui Youbo first changed into his homely long-sleeved robe, dragged a pair of wooden clogs, and strolled to the study.

Not long after sitting down, a man in a black Hu suit flashed in, "Lang Jun, there is indeed something wrong with that man!"

Cui Youbo put down the teacup and said in a low voice, "Oh, what did you hear?"

The man moved closer to Cui Youbo's ear, and whispered what he had just heard.

After listening to the report, Cui Youbo was not surprised, he just felt a little gloomy, not because of Wu Wuniang, but——

If the truth of the matter is as he guessed, then, that would be too cruel, too fucking outrageous!
