It turned out that Magistrate Zheng heard from the Yamen servant that Su Laoer's parents were here.
Knowing that they were Mr. and Mrs. Su, they came over excitedly to meet them.
Little did they know, as soon as they walked to the door, they heard Su Laoer's loud shout from inside the room, saying that the little sugar baby was betrothed.
So, without even bothering to knock on the door, he just shouted.
Old man Su glared at Mr. Su and quickly opened the door to welcome Magistrate Zheng in.
Just as he was about to salute, Magistrate Zheng hurriedly waved his hand and said hurriedly: "Brother Su, let's not come here with those vain people. Why did you grant Fu Ya to someone else?"
"No." Old Man Su said helplessly: "It was this brat who got distracted."
After saying that, he glared at Su Laoer again.
Su Laoer touched his nose and breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s fine if you don’t have it.
How old is his sister? How could she invite someone so early?
Immediately, he felt that there was some ambiguity in what his father said.
He wasn't the only one who was confused.
Didn’t the county magistrate also have a different idea?
County Magistrate Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Old Man Su said.
"It would be fine if it wasn't... it would be fine if it wasn't..."
Old man Su, "..."
I'm sorry that the county magistrate is still thinking about his little girl.
"Where's Fuya?" Magistrate Zheng hurriedly looked behind Old Man Su, looking for the little sugar baby.
Old man Su, "..."
I feel like my little girl is more popular than myself.
"Tangbao didn't come." Old Man Su said.
Magistrate Zheng looked regretful, "Brother Su, why don't you bring Fuya? My wife and son talk about Fuya all day long..."
Old man Su, "..."
No matter what I say, my little girl will not be allowed to come to the county town from now on.
I don’t have to be worried about by your family all day long.
Soon, Magistrate Zheng returned to his smiling expression.
"Brother Su and Mrs. Su, they are here in the county today..."
Before Magistrate Zheng finished speaking, his eyes fell on the basket.
The few intact old wild ginseng in the basket made Magistrate Zheng's words stuck in his throat.
Old Man Su and others, following Magistrate Zheng's gaze, also looked at the basket.
It's broken. Why did you forget to cover the basket?
Su Laoer imitated his father's tone and said, "My father just comes to the county town to sell a few radishes."
Magistrate Zheng, "..."
His eyelids twitched.
radish?
The Su family actually sells ginseng as radishes?
How many people do you have to have in your family to use such a loud tone?
As a member of a noble family, it is rare for him to see such good old wild ginseng.
Magistrate Zheng was sour.
Old man Su glared at Mr. Su.
This kind of embarrassing thing can only be done in front of one's own family.
Is it possible that I still want to show off to the county magistrate?
No need to be laughed at by the county magistrate.
Su Laoer touched his nose.
He said with his eyes: Dad, why are you staring at me? Didn’t you say it yourself?
Old man Su wanted to roll up his sleeves, but looked at Magistrate Zheng and held back.
"Lord County Magistrate, don't listen to this brat!" Old Man Su said quickly.
Magistrate Zheng, "Haha..."
He didn't think that Su Laoer was a fool.
"Brother Su, you... no, how do you sell your carrots?" Magistrate Zheng asked.
This kind of old mountain ginseng can be seen at a glance to be of a very old age, and it is also in perfect condition. It is rare to find but not to be found.
Now that you have encountered it, you should buy one.
Whether you are giving it as a gift or keeping it at home, it is very necessary.
Old Man Su's lips twitched after hearing Magistrate Zheng's words.
He glared at Su Laoer again.
Immediately, I was stumped.
Because he didn't know how much silver he should sell it for.
After all, these ginsengs are older than the two sold yesterday.
He didn't know how much silver it was worth specifically.
Moreover, since Magistrate Zheng asked this, he might want to buy it.
Sell it to Magistrate Zheng...
Asking for more is absolutely not possible.
So, how much is appropriate?
Could it be that they are really being sold as carrots?
Old Man Su felt a little nervous.
"This...does the county magistrate want to buy it?" Old Man Su asked tentatively.
Magistrate Zheng, "...No, no, I'm just afraid that Brother Su will be fooled."
Old man Su, "..."
So that’s it.
The county magistrate is really a hot-blooded person.
"Well, I am familiar with Shopkeeper Zhang from Tongji Pharmacy. Why don't I take you there to avoid being deliberately underpriced?" Magistrate Zheng said.
He was coming back to his senses now.
He would never dare to take advantage of the Su family's advantages.
However, he didn't know how much money this ginseng was worth.
The Su family probably doesn't know either.
In this case, it is better to go to the pharmacy.
After the Su family sold it to the pharmacy, he would just buy it back at the price.
Magistrate Zheng didn't know that he wanted to buy it back at the price, but he was afraid he wouldn't be able to get it.
Old Man Su was overjoyed immediately after hearing Magistrate Zheng's words.
If the county magistrate takes him there, he will definitely not be deceived.
"Thank you so much, Lord County Magistrate." Old Man Su clasped his fists gratefully.
"Brother Su, you're out again, aren't you? Why are you calling me the county magistrate again?" Magistrate Zheng put his arm around Old Su's shoulders and said dissatisfied: "Didn't you call me brother Zheng before?"
Old Man Su, "Haha..."
Isn’t that too much to drink?
However, the county magistrate is wearing official uniform and is also holding hands with others?
Magistrate Zheng put down his arm, looked at Mrs. Su, and said, "My wife has been talking about falling in love with Mrs. Sister-in-law. If she knows that Mrs. Sister-in-law is here, she will be very happy."
When Magistrate Zheng's words came to light, Old Mrs. Su could only say: "It's because of Madam's love. It's natural for a civilian woman to visit Madam. It's just that she was in a hurry today and didn't prepare a greeting card. Instead, she went in a hurry.
As for the etiquette, why not wait until I have purchased a house in the county in the future and then come to visit my wife officially."
"Mrs. Sister-in-law is too polite. You and I have no relationship with each other. How can we pay attention to those false etiquette?" Magistrate Zheng said: "But, according to Madam-in-law, do you want to buy a house in the county?"
As Magistrate Zheng spoke, his eyes fell on the ginseng in the basket again.
That's right, the Su family can sell ginseng as radishes casually.
Isn’t it easy to buy a house in the county?
Magistrate Zheng was sour again.
The Su family is so lucky.
Mrs. Su said: "To be honest with the county magistrate, the woman's family is thinking of selling their ginseng and buying a house in the county town."
After Magistrate Zheng felt sour, he was very happy again.
The Su family bought a house in the county town, so Fuya would definitely go to the city often.
There is no chance that I will live in the county town forever.
Wouldn’t it be possible for his son to be close to the water?
The more Magistrate Zheng thought about it, the happier he became.
"This matter has been taken care of by my little brother!" County Magistrate Zheng patted his chest, "When I turn around, I will call the people from Yaxing and ask which family in the county is selling their house. I must choose a spacious and bright place..."
I have to say that Magistrate Zheng's generous offer really saved Old Man Su and his wife a lot of trouble.
"Thank you so much, Lord County Magistrate." Mrs. Su bowed her knees slightly to express her gratitude.
Magistrate Zheng waved his hand, "Mrs. Sister-in-law, you're welcome."
After saying that, he put his arm on Old Man Su's shoulder again.
"Brother Su, we two need to have a good drink at noon today."
Magistrate Zheng smiled, hooked his arm on Old Su's shoulder and walked out.
However, he is fat and shorter than Old Man Su, and his movements look funny.
