Allure of a Country Maiden

After Zhang Baotou and his party apologized, they went straight to Shen Ji's grocery store in the town to settle accounts with Shen Chengguang.

Shen Chengguang was about to close the shop when he saw Zhang Captou approaching and happily greeted him, "Brother Zhang, I was just thinking about closing the shop, so I went to find you. How's it going? Did you get the money?"

"What the hell!" Zhang Baotou snorted, "I said, Shen Chengguang, you killed me this time, do you know that?"

Only then did Shen Chengguang realize that Zhang Captou's expression was not very good. No, he was simply a black man with a bad mouth and a bad face. There was nothing worse!

"Brother Zhang, what's wrong? Don't you want to give me money?" Shen Chengguang said cautiously.

"Shen Chengguang, do you really not know or are you pretending not to know? This younger brother of yours is very capable. His backstage is so big that my brother-in-law doesn't even dare to say who he is! He just asked me to find a way to apologize quickly! I am now I don’t even know if the arrest is necessary, and my brother-in-law doesn’t know if he will lose his official position! You still want to get money! It’s so bizarre!”

"Is there someone behind the Third Brother?" Who is it? Is it the Shangguan Master?

"If you go in with the front foot, someone will come to the rescue with the back foot. After dinner, I just came to the Yamen, and I didn't even have a chance to speak, so I had to lick my face and apologize! You have caused me to get ants all over my body! It’s all trouble!”

Zhang Captou rolled up the sleeves of both hands, "Shen Chengguang, you are going to kill me. If my brother-in-law hadn't said that I would only fine you a little money, I would really want to..." Zhang Captou raised his strong fist and shouted at Shen Chengguang. There was a shaking in front of him, and Shen Chengguang was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down with his head in his hands.

"Brother Zhang, have mercy! I didn't lie. They do have the book."

Speaking of this chapter, Headhunting becomes extremely popular! The anger boiled and boiled in his belly, and finally spurted out, drooling all over Shen Chengguang's face.

"You have the head of a human and the brain of a pig. How did your son pass the exam? Does this mean 'cannot be obtained only by the imperial court'? This makes me so angry!"

"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, so hurry up and prepare some money, two hundred taels. This is compensation for falsely reporting the truth and obstructing the official's work!"

"Two hundred taels...how can I get so much money?"

"No, you still want to lie to me! Okay, no, right? Just chop off a pair of hands. One hand is a hundred taels, which is an advantage for you! Come on!"

"No, no, no...Brother Zhang, I'll get there right away." Shen Chengguang crawled back to the backyard of the grocery store.

"Bah, who is this person? If he hadn't been lucky enough to have a good brother, don't you think I'd put him in jail and sit there for ten or eight years!"

Shen Chengguang returned to the backyard and immediately asked Lan to take out two hundred taels of silver.

"Ms. sir, why do you need so much money?"

"Captain Zhang said that I blocked the official's work and asked me to pay two hundred taels of silver. Come out with the money quickly." Shen Chengguang was fat and out of breath after running for a short distance.

Lan didn't move, "What's blocking the office? What happened?"

"Hurry up and get to the money. There are people behind Lao San's family. They rescued them. Now they're going to bite us back!"

"What, is this still your brother? He can do such a thing. We have saved two hundred taels of silver for several years. If it doesn't work, I won't give out the money!" After hearing this, Mrs. Lan went angrily. Come on! This money was given to the third child as compensation. Why? She wouldn't pay it no matter what.

"Hurry up and take it out. Zhang is here to ask for it now. If I don't take it out, he will chop off my hands. Hurry up! Point it out!" Shen Chengguang was so anxious that he almost jumped up, and the last two words were loudly directed at Lan's family. Roar.

Lan was startled and patted his chest, "Why are you so loud! You scared me!"

"Where's the key? Give it to me, I'll take it myself!" Shen Chengguang went directly to Lan's body to find the key.

Lan swatted his hand away, "Can't I just take it?"

I was really blind at the beginning, how could I choose such a man, who would be so frightened that he would lose his soul and lose his soul at the slightest thing?

After Lan gave the silver to Shen Chengguang, he looked at the loss of more than half of his belongings, two hundred taels of silver! She was heartbroken, no, she had to ask Lao San’s family for it back!

At dawn the next day, Xiao Fuzi returned to the imperial capital with a cartload of New Year gifts.

The New Year gifts that Xiaoer prepared for Shangguan Xuanyi include: two jars of wine, two jars of apple cider vinegar, and a box of tea produced in the space, which she roasted herself in the space. There are also baskets of apples, baskets of pears, a bag of dried fruits, a bag of preserved fruits, a bag of rice, a bag of white flour, a large jar of dried pork, and a bottle of home travel essentials that she made using things from the worry-free tree in space. Prepare good medicine. A swan feather duvet, and a pair of down gloves.

The New Year gift given to Di Zhaowei was the same, except that it lacked a swan feather quilt. It's not that Xiao'er didn't give it away, it's just that the two geese lost too little feathers.

Tian Bai and Tian Bai both said that this owner was so unscrupulous, and they were all combing their hair out for her recently!

Xiaoer counted the annual gifts given by Shangguan Xuanyi and Di Zhaowei and registered them one by one.

Shangguan Xuanyi presented the best blood swallows, shark fins, two abalones, a box of deer antlers, a century-old wild ginseng, a red fox fur cloak, a pair of deerskin boots, a white fox fur cloak, and several horses. Cloth, some silk flowers, a pair of small gold bracelets and a set of headdresses popular in the imperial capital, as well as four sets of bows and arrows.

This is very thoughtful, everyone has thought of it. What surprised Xiaoer the most was a post. The greeting post from the headmaster of Juxian Academy also had an iron lead!

Di Zhaowei also sent delicacies from the mountains and seas, nourishing medicinal materials, cloth, furs, etc., as well as some popular gadgets and fresh food in the imperial capital. There are also a few orphans and books, as well as some new seeds.

Comparing their New Year gifts, Xiaoer said that the ones she gave seemed a bit shabby, but they were produced by Space and were not available outside. Xiaoer comforted herself.

imperial capital, royal palace

Shangguan Xuanyi was working in the study room, and Xiao Fuzi came to see him outside the door with a plate of cut fruits, "Master, I'm back."

"Come in!" Shangguan Xuanyi continued to make corrections on the booklet with a pen.

Xiao Fuzi bowed to Shangguan Xuanyi, then put down the fruit plate in his hand, "Master, this is the fruit sent by Miss Xiaoer. This is the New Year's gift list she gave to Master."

Miss Xiaoer also gave him a basketful of these apples and snow pears. He had already eaten them on the way, and they were even more delicious than the tributes. The apples were only the same size, big and red, with a fruity aroma, sweet and refreshing! The snow pear was bright yellow, sweet and juicy, and stimulated body fluids and quenched thirst. He wanted to eat it again after eating it, which made him eat several fruits in a row and look for the hut!

Shangguan Xuanyi picked up a piece of apple with a silver pick, took a bite, and then ate it one bite after another.

As expected, the things that girl sent had different reactions. Even the apples were more delicious than the royal tribute. While looking at the gift list, he ordered: "In a moment, put out the fruits that the girl brought in a basket and give them to the Empress Dowager, the Emperor Father, the Queen Mother, the Second Prince, the Fourth Prince, the Sixth Prince, and the Princess."

"Yes" Xiao Fuzi responded respectfully.

Shangguan Xuanyi looked at the gift list in his hand. This was the first time he received such a livelihood gift.

Xiao Fuzi took out the bottle and gloves from his arms, "Miss Xiaoer said this is a must-have tiger balm for home travel, and asked the master to use it sparingly. If you are seriously injured, take green, if you are seriously ill, take yellow, and if you are highly poisonous, take white."

Shangguan Xuanyi opened the porcelain white bottle, and there were three pills of different colors lying quietly inside. A unique fragrance came out, which shocked people. Thinking of the medicine that the girl gave me last time to treat burns, it was hard to find.

"Miss Xiao'er also said that the imperial capital is in the north, and the weather must be very cold. The quilt is made of swan feathers, which is very warm, and the gloves also prevent the master from freezing when he rides a horse."

"That girl is interested. Give me some food every day." Shangguan Xuanyi's facial expression softened a lot.

"Yes." The rice at Miss Xiaoer's house is so delicious that it makes people feel satisfied just eating plain rice. Xiao Fuzi's mouth watered when he thought of that hot pot meal.

Seeing that his master was in such a good mood, Xiao Fuzi hesitated to tell the story about Miss Xiaoer's family being imprisoned now.

"Speak directly if you have anything to say!" Shangguan Xuanyi ordered when he saw that Xiao Fuzi was hesitant to speak.

"Yes, the day the little one arrived at Miss Xiaoer's house, their whole family happened to be caught in jail!"

"Say, what's going on?" Shangguan Xuanyi was furious, and the expression on his face suddenly turned grim. Didn't you promise to take good care of their family secretly? How could you be caught in jail!

Xiao Fuzi told the story in detail.

"Tell Dr. Luo to come see you next time! Come on down!"

Shangguan Xuanyi grasped the gloves in his hands, walked to the window and looked in a certain direction. You are willing to endure it, but I am reluctant to let it go.
