062 Do I Look Old?

Second Master is going to the county government office?

Xing'an was a little surprised, but he still agreed and ordered the driver to go to the county government office.

At this time, their carriage was not far from the county government office in Qinghe County, and it stopped at the gate of the county government office with just a cup of tea.

Xing'an went to report.

When Ye Yongwang heard that the visitor was He Yanxiu, a doctor in the household department in the capital, he quickly put down what he was doing and came to the door to personally welcome him into the county government house.

"I wonder if Mr. He can give you any advice on finding a humble job?" Ye Yongwang asked respectfully.

"In front of Mr. Ye, I also opened the skylight and spoke frankly."

He Yanxiu said, "I came to look for Mr. Ye because of a private matter, which is related to the previous murder of Su Yujin by the Liao family. Mr. Ye dealt with it impartially. It turned out that there was nothing wrong with it and he did an excellent job."

"It's just that Miss Su settles down in Qinghe alone. It's not easy for a girl's family. Although I want to take care of her, she is far away from the capital, so it is difficult to take care of her in many cases. Mr. Ye is in charge of many affairs in Qinghe County. He is the leader of Qinghe County.

As a parent officer, I can be regarded as asking Mr. Ye to take care of Miss Su in the future."

"It's not that we need preferential treatment, but if something happens, we don't want Miss Su to be wronged. When the yamen are inspecting the yamen, they can also go to Miss Su's place to see some things that need to be taken care of.

, Mr. Ye also helped to say hello."

"I heard that Mr. Ye is obsessed with poetry, calligraphy and painting, and especially likes landscapes and splashed ink. I happen to have a copy of "Cold River Snow" here. I hope Mr. Ye will not dislike it and must accept it."

After He Yan finished speaking, Xing'an had already picked up the brocade box.

"Cold River Snow" was created by Mo Dayu, a master of landscape painting in this dynasty.

Because of his extremely high attainments in calligraphy and painting, many famous dignitaries were able to obtain a painting from Master Mo. However, Mo Dayu was arrogant and unruly by nature and never took dignitaries into consideration. He also painted as he pleased, only painting when he was interested.

, this painting has become increasingly difficult to find.

"Cold River Snow" was painted by Master Mo while walking in the snow after drinking. Both the layout and the brushwork are the best among his works. Ye Yongwang has heard about it for a long time, but has never seen the original work.

When I heard that He Yanxiu was going to give this painting to him, I was immediately flattered.

"Master He is so polite. Since I am the magistrate of Qinghe County, I will naturally make decisions for all the people in the county and prevent any people from suffering undue injustice."

Ye Yongwang said, "It's just that this "Hanjiang Snow" is really precious, and I really deserve the humble position."

"Master Ye, there is no need to be polite. I have no interest in painting. It would be a pity to leave such a good painting here. It would be better to give it to a knowledgeable person like Master Ye, so as not to be insulted.

Master Mo’s hard work.”.

Seeing what He Yanxiu said, Ye Yongwang also liked the painting very much. After thinking for a moment, he reached out and took it, "Your Majesty loves me so much, and I am humble and respectful, but it is better to obey orders. I will do my best in my humble duty, so don't worry, sir."

"Master Ye does things properly and I can trust him. @ESSENTIAL\/书馆*First update~~" He Yanxiu said.

Ye Yongwang raised his hands in salute, and after looking at He Yanxiu again, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

This small gesture fell into He Yanxiu's eyes.

"Why is Mr. Ye laughing?"

"It's disrespectful to hold such a low position." Ye Yongwang hurriedly explained, "I just heard from Miss Su that a second cousin uncle was an official in Beijing. He must be quite old and must be over forty if he is to hold a low position. I never thought that you are so young. I just thought of it."

At this point, I just feel that the past speculations made by me are a bit ridiculous."

Second cousin?

He Yanxiu, "..."

Long after the carriage left Qinghe County, He Yanxiu was still holding his chin.

Only when the carriage ran over a ravine and jolted for a while did he come back to his senses.

"Xing'an."

"Young man, what are your orders?"

"I look very old?"

Xing'an, "..."

"Second Master, what are you talking about? Second Master is a young and talented man with a handsome face and looks like Pan An. He is a real handsome man. When I look at Second Master, he looks like he is seventeen or eighteen years old at most. He is too old.

?”

Xing'an was surprised, "But what did someone say?"

He Yanxiu didn't answer and just lowered the curtain.

Xing'an scratched his head and sat up straight in front.

.

The second master used to say that skin is the most useless thing. Why do you act like a purdah woman today and ask about your appearance?

How strange...

Ye Yongwang looked at the "Cold River Snow" again and again in the county government office. After a long time, he reluctantly put the painting back, and then raised his hand to greet the government officials.

"What's wrong with Mr. Liao?"

"Back to your lord, Mrs. Liao has been quite peaceful since she was imprisoned. I heard that Ren Xiucai came to visit some time ago. Since Ren Xiucai came, Mrs. Liao has become more and more unwilling to say a word.

He just nodded and shook his head and made gestures, and I don’t know why.”

"It doesn't matter, the crime has been decided, and it won't affect anything if she doesn't say anything. Please tell me not to let her die. She will be exiled next year."

Many times, death is the best relief.

You can't easily achieve your goals.

----

Su Yujin felt happy when she looked at the three hundred taels of silver notes that were still warm in the dowry.

This was given to her by the second master just before he left. He only said that she had been working really hard on her acupuncture treatment these past few days and that she should buy some jewelry, clothes, and some supplements to replenish her health.

This was a deserved reward, and Su Yujin did not refuse it at all, accepting it very simply and with peace of mind.

Hey, I have to say, following the second master seems pretty good.

Not having to warm the bed and having so much money to draw from time to time is simply not great.

Nowadays, Su Ji's restaurant has a profit of more than 100 taels per month, and Huibin Building has a profit of several hundred taels. Plus the second master buys more from time to time...

The future life is bright!

Su Yujin closed the box happily and called mugwort to make tea.

Osmanthus tea is made from dried osmanthus flowers from the osmanthus trees in the yard. At this time, some red dates are added to achieve the effect of repelling cold and warming the stomach.

When soaking, a little bit of honey is dripped into the mugwort, so it tastes sweet, soft in the mouth, and full of fragrance.

Su Yujin nodded repeatedly. @ESSENTIAL\/书馆·无码开户~~

Seeing that his girl was happy, Ai Cao took the opportunity to say, "Girl, we were short of money before. In order to make a living, we sold all the flowers and plants in the yard and planted all kinds of vegetables. Now that we have a comfortable life, why not start again?"

How about planting some flowers and plants?”

After all, this is the courtyard where my daughter lives, so it should be more elegant.

When the second master came, he saw all kinds of flowers and plants, which he found more pleasing to the eye. He liked to see the girl more, didn't he?

Su Yujin thought for a while, "Then let's find a big vat and plant some lotus flowers."

"Don't you need to plant the other ones?"

"Need not."

"The girl likes lotus flowers, but I have never heard of her saying that before."

"It's OK. The lotus leaves can be used to make lotus leaf soup, the lotus petals can be used to make lotus cakes, the lotus roots can be used to cook, and the lotus pods can be used to make lotus seed soup. It's practical and delicious!"

Wormwood, "..."

From now on, who is saying that she loves to eat, and who is she anxious about?
