Chapter 145: County Magistrate Zheng Almost Jumped Up
Xuanyuan Jin held the little sugar baby's hand and walked leisurely while shopping, but Magistrate Zheng in the county government office almost jumped in shock.
"What? Gold mine?!"
Magistrate Zheng's hands shook and his voice changed.
My heart was beating wildly, and my head was buzzing.
Gold mine!
There is actually a gold mine in Fengqi County!
Magistrate Zheng felt that his head was hit by gold that suddenly fell from the sky, so that gold stars appeared in front of his eyes.
"My lord, please take a look."
Old Man Su took out the gold ore hidden under the backpack.
Then he took out the golden lumps picked up by Su Laoer and Su Xiaoliu.
Magistrate Zheng quickly closed his eyes.
There is nothing I can do, there are too many Venus stars in front of my eyes, they are dazzling!
Magistrate Zheng took a deep breath.
Then he opened his eyes, shook his hands, picked up the gold ore, and looked at it carefully.
Then, he picked up another gold nugget.
One couldn't hold it back and put it to his mouth and took a bite.
It's gold!
That’s right!
Old Man Su's mouth twitched.
It turns out that the county magistrate also identifies gold in this way.
"It's really gold!" Magistrate Zheng's face turned red with excitement. He couldn't sit still or stand, and he began to circle around the room.
Round and round...
He sent it!
No, it was Fengqi County!
No, no, it was the imperial court that sent it!
No, no, no! None!
It’s him, Zheng Ming, who wants to be promoted and make a fortune!
The more Magistrate Zheng thought about it, the more excited he became, so much so that he couldn't stop thinking about it.
Old man Su and second old man Su looked at each other. The father and son could understand Magistrate Zheng's mood at this moment.
only--
Mr. County Magistrate, please stop turning around. The common people are a little dizzy.
Old man Su said something in his heart.
There is no way, Magistrate Zheng has been in charge for almost a quarter of an hour.
"Lord County Magistrate, why don't you... sit down and rest for a while?" Old Man Su asked tentatively.
Magistrate Zheng, "...haha...hahaha..."
Old man Su, "..."
I feel like the county magistrate is going crazy.
"Brother Su, you are my lucky star!" Magistrate Zheng walked up to Old Man Su and patted Old Man Su on the shoulder.
He could already foresee how glorious and prosperous his career would be in the future.
Old Man Su breathed a sigh of relief quietly.
Fortunately, the magistrate is quite normal.
Magistrate Zheng was in high spirits and his face was full of radiance.
However, the gold mine matter is too important after all, and I am afraid the entire court will be shocked.
Magistrate Zheng forced himself to calm down, thought for a moment, and leaned his head towards Old Man Su and his son.
"This matter is not trivial, and we must not leak anything!" Magistrate Zheng lowered his voice and said with a serious expression.
As if afraid that the walls have ears.
As everyone knows, if the walls really had ears, his scream just now would have been heard long ago.
"The common people know!"
The Su family father and son nodded repeatedly, but Magistrate Zheng lowered their voices.
Magistrate Zheng was very satisfied.
"Brother Su, don't worry. Such a great contribution will not be without the benefit of brother Su. I will definitely take care of it..."
Before Magistrate Zheng finished speaking, he suddenly thought of Xuanyuan Jin.
"I dare to ask Brother Su, Master Yang... made a special trip to send you to the county government today?" Magistrate Zheng asked pointedly.
"Of course not." Old Man Su shook his head quickly, "It was just a way, so I took Master Yang's carriage..."
As Old Man Su talked, he felt that his words were inexplicably lacking in confidence.
Su Laoer said carelessly: "Although it's not a special trip, it seems to be no different from a special trip..."
Old man Su, "..."
It seems so.
After all, they were delivered directly to the gate of the Yamen.
Magistrate Zheng looked at the Su family and his son, wondering in his heart, why did the Su family fall into that man's eyes?
However, Magistrate Zheng could only envy him when he thought of the little sugar baby.
Alas! Why don’t I have such a daughter that everyone loves?
Magistrate Zheng didn't know how many times he lamented in his heart.
At the same time, I also understand that this credit should belong to the Su family, that is, the Su family.
As a parent official, I must not hide the Su family's contributions.
Who allowed this family to have a little girl who was looked upon with special regard by that young master?
At this time, the little girl of the Su family, Sugar Baby, was squatting next to a pile of old books, reading seriously.
Yes, just reading!
Although everyone else, including Xuanyuan Jin, thought she was joking.
No one will believe that the little sugar baby can read.
Of course, the little sugar baby will not say anything stupid.
Anyway, when it comes to the book in her hand, those who are interested will hold it upright, and those who are not interested will hold it upside down.
"Took it down." Xuanyuan Jin said.
"Oh." The little sugar baby obediently straightened the book again.
She doesn't like this book and is picking it up to show off.
Xuanyuan Jin looked at the appearance of the little sugar baby, with a small smile flashing in his eyes.
The little girl looks so cute.
"Want to learn how to read?" Xuanyuan Jin asked.
"Yeah." The little sugar baby nodded.
Then--
Gone!
Xuanyuan Jin turned around and left to find the owner of the bookstore.
The little sugar baby raised his head in confusion and looked at Xuanyuan Jin's back.
According to the rhythm of the conversation, shouldn't this little brother's next sentence be "I'll teach you"?
Why are you leaving?
The little brother Xuanyuan Jin who had left walked up to the owner of the bookstore and said coolly: "I want one book each for children's enlightenment, and some high-quality pen and ink and rice paper..."
The little sugar baby had a happy face.
She just said, how come the little brother has nothing to say.
I quickly picked up my favorite travel notes, miscellaneous stories, unofficial histories, story books, etc., and ran over.
"I also want these." The little sugar baby said very proudly.
It's like she's the one paying the bill later.
The owner of the bookstore looked at the old books brought over by the little sugar baby, and said generously: "This young master bought a lot of things, so these old books will be given to the little girl."
Anyway, these books are all incomplete and have been sitting in the corner gathering dust, with no one paying attention to them at all.
The owner of the bookstore is very generous, and the little sugar baby is also very happy.
Xuanyuan Jin said with a look of disgust: "If you want, buy new ones. These are too old."
After finishing speaking, he looked at the owner of the bookstore and asked: "Is there any new one?"
The owner of the bookstore had no choice but to read through the books brought over by the little sugar baby one by one.
Finally, he picked out two story books and said with an embarrassed look: "Master, I'm really sorry. Apart from these two story books, there are new manuscripts in the shop, but there are no others."
"Then get rid of these two story books..."
"I just want the old one!" the little sugar baby said quickly.
These two story books record the thoughts and words left by many people after reading them, which is really interesting.
It's not in the new book.
Xuanyuan Jin looked at the little sugar baby, and the little sugar baby looked back at Xuanyuan Jin.
at last--
"Forget it, wrap everything up." Xuanyuan Jin said.
The little sugar baby rolled his big eyes and said, "Thank you, brother."
Xuanyuan Jin stretched out his hand and gave the little sugar baby a blow.
Little sugar baby, "..."
This little brother, are you used to being beaten?
"Okay, sir." The owner of the bookshop beamed.
Although he sold two fewer new story books, one look at the young master's clothes showed that he was a wealthy man.
Not to mention other things, just the high-quality pen and ink and rice paper can make him a lot of money.
The owner of the bookstore quickly took out the best ink ingots, langhao, rice paper...
Then he took out the abacus and started tapping it.
"This young master has a total of two hundred and twenty-eight taels and eighty cents."
The little sugar baby took a deep breath.
Grab money!
Isn't it just a few thin books, plus a few dark ink strips, a few stacks of white paper, and a few brushes?
It actually costs more than two hundred taels of silver?!
She finally understood why in this era, studying is a waste of money.
The little sugar baby caressed his heart.
Fortunately, these old books of hers are all in vain.
