Smallholder Farming Daily

Chapter 184

Shiliu Xiongjiu took Hui'er and others to Lingyuan's house in the county town with high spirits.

Hui'er has been married to Fatty Jia for several months, so she knows a lot about official positions.On the way, she talked to Shiliu about the power of Yuanwailang, "Pomegranate, you have to be careful with your words later, don't think that Yuanwailang from the Ling family is an idler, maybe he is more powerful than the county magistrate." The background, otherwise how could he be a Yuan Wai Lang."

Shiliu couldn't help wondering, "Sister-in-law, you mean that you have to be rich and powerful to donate Yuanwailang's official position, and he is only assisting the county magistrate to manage Qinghe County, and the county magistrate may have to look at his face ?”

Hui'er nodded, "It's possible. I heard from Big Fatty that Yuan Wai Lang is from the fifth rank, and our county magistrate seems to be the seventh rank. Naturally, the seventh rank is not as good as the fifth rank. Although I don't know who is behind Ling Yuanwai's family Support, but his family seems to be very mysterious, anyway, anyone who sees Ling Yuan's family will go around."

Shiliu was not convinced, "I still don't believe it. His family took the girl's body and caused the girl to conceive a baby. Could they still call black as white?"

Hui'er was a little worried, if the Ling family refused to admit it, saying that the daughter of Cook Guo's family hooked up with another man to have a baby, then this matter would be difficult.

Sure enough, when they arrived at the gate of Yuanwai's courtyard, they were stopped by two servants, and Shiliu pulled Chef Guo forward, "Hey, you two gatekeepers, look clearly, he is from Sichuan My daughter's father..."

Before Shiliu finished speaking, a family member rushed to say: "There is no one named Chuan'er in our Ling family now, but there was one named Chuan'er before, but she smashed the lotus jade plate in Madam's room and was chased away by Madam." Go out. Don't worry, she is a slave girl, someone from the government will look for her in a few days and arrange for her to go to another house to serve her."

Chef Guo was trembling with anger, "How can your Ling family bully people like this? When did my Chuan'er smash something? It was clearly...it was..."

The servant stepped forward and said fiercely to Cook Guo: "What is it? Tell me!"

Seeing that many people gathered around, Cook Guo was afraid that the news about Chuan'er would be spread, so he gritted his teeth and was speechless.

Shiliu was angry at first, but when she thought of the devious tactics Qian Feng usually taught her, she smiled and said to the servant: "Brother, don't be fierce, I am Mrs. Yichai, and Huier is..."

Before Shiliu finished the introduction, the two servants burst out laughing, "The wife of the post office dares to call herself a wife, what kind of person can be a wife!"

Shiliu glanced at them, and pushed Hui'er to the front, "It's true that I'm the wife of the postman, but it's not wrong that she is the wife of the postman, right? Our men often interact with high-ranking officials. Yesterday we He also served the emperor... the second-rank Master Huang, who is much higher than your fifth-rank Yuanwailang."

The servant immediately suppressed his smile, held his head up and said, "So what, the left and right sides of the station are just serving people, what's the big deal?"

Pomegranate mysteriously pulled a servant aside and whispered something to him.The servant suddenly became nervous, and the arrogance just now disappeared immediately, and he ran into the yard nodding and bowing. After a while, he came out and said that their wife invited Hui'er and Shiliu in.

The two of them followed their servants into the Ling's compound, Hui'er didn't know what Shiliu said just now, and whispered: "What did you tell him just now? Why did his wife invite us two in?"

"You'll know later." Pomegranate said triumphantly.She learned this from Qian Feng, but if she is not a good official, she is afraid of being caught by others. Whether it is a high official or a small official, this is the reason.

Yuan Ling's family is indeed rich, as can be seen from the big courtyard alone, Shiliu and Hui'er followed for a long time, and they both reached the place where Mrs. Yuanwailang lived before Sijin.Thinking about it, if people have no money, how can they donate such a big official, even if there is a recommendation from a high-ranking official behind the scenes, they must have money as a foreshadowing.

At the fifth entrance, I finally came to Mrs. Ling's room. Pomegranate didn't look at the people when she came in, but first looked at the decorations in the room. Hmph, this place is not as good as the best room in the station, why is it crazy?

Madam Ling is a woman in her mid-fifties. Although she is dressed luxuriously, the wrinkles on her face are really not beautiful.Hui'er stepped forward to salute, and said softly, "Madam, all blessings."

Hui'er turned her head back and blinked at Shiliu, Shiliu stepped forward and saluted casually, and said with a half-smile: "Ma'am, Shiliu is very polite."

Madam Ling had a sullen face, and she didn't look at the two of them, she just stretched out her five fingers to look at her newly acquired jade ring, then slowly waved to the girl beside her, motioning for her to show Hui'er and Shiliu a seat.

Shiliu is a quick-tempered person, seeing that the lady was ignorant and procrastinating, she coughed a few times.

Mrs. Ling raised her eyelids, glanced at pomegranate, and saw that she and Huier were both rustic little women who dared to call themselves Mrs. She snorted, "Mrs. Yicheng and Mrs. Yichai are here? Don't think It’s great to be able to deal with some big and small officials. Let me tell you, there really is no official who will take the people in the post station seriously. That's the little errand who serves people, and it's about the same as the servants in my family. Don't think that you know a little bit about it, so you think you have a handle on my Ling family."

Hui'er didn't know what Madam Ling was referring to, but Shiliu stood up abruptly, "Madam, you are not afraid, right? Well, I'll go out and yell right now! Sister-in-law, let's go!"

Hui'er could hear the frown now, probably understood what Shiliu meant, and followed her out, as if she was afraid of someone else.

Madam Ling sullenly looked at Shiliu's round body and was very angry, so she waved to the girl next to her, and the girl ran out and stopped Shiliu and Hui'er, and asked them very politely. Two came in.

Shiliu and Hui'er sat down again, Madam Ling didn't procrastinate this time, and said straight to the point: "Tell me, what did Chuan'er take and hide in your station? The little postman and postman want to curry favor with the high official." You guys are so daring to frame Yuanwailang."

Shiliu couldn't think of anything to prevaricate at the moment, and just now she was just talking nonsense on the spur of the moment, and said with a straight chest, "I can't tell you for the time being, who knows what crooked ideas you guys are trying to come up with?"
