Yun Miaomiao came out of the pawn shop and happened to meet Magistrate Zhao after posting the notice.
County Magistrate Zhao left the house one step earlier than Yun Miaomiao, and did not know that Yun Miaomiao also came to the county seat.
"Why are you here?" Magistrate Zhao looked up at the pawn shop and remembered that her family heirloom jade pendant was still in her hand. "You didn't come here to pawn the jade pendant."
Seeing County Magistrate Zhao, Yun Miaomiao was also stunned, "County Magistrate Zhao, you owe me money. Of course I have to come here to ask if the jade pendant you gave me is real. If it is a fake, then I won't eat it."
A big loss?"
Magistrate Zhao choked, what he said was true, but as a magistrate, how could he come out with fake things to fool people?
Could it be that my character is really that bad?
"Okay, okay, anyway, the thing is in your hands, you have the final say." Magistrate Zhao couldn't do anything to her, "You've finished reading it now, shouldn't it be time to go back?"
"I promised Yun Su to buy some ducks and bring them back to him. I will go to the market to see if there are any for sale. Would the county magistrate want to go with me?" Yun Miaomiao asked a lot.
Magistrate Zhao thought it would be okay to go back, so he agreed and followed Yun Miaomiao to the market for a stroll.
There were more and more people coming and going in the county town, and many people were talking about recruiting people in Jiangning Village. Magistrate Zhao discussed a countermeasure with Yun Miaomiao yesterday.
All applicants must sign up, and those who are actually hired will be based on the results of a lottery. As long as one hundred people are selected, coal diggers will be paid fifteen cents a day, including two meals.
Still take care of it.
However, once you are hired, you must live in Jiangning Village and are not allowed to go home. If you have to go back for something, you need to ask for leave in advance.
Everything was written clearly, and the conditions and benefits were much better than those of other casual workers. As soon as the announcement came out, many people had already signed up.
Many people are rushing to do the hard work of digging coal here, and there are also many people who are interested in hiring women to cook. For seven cents a day, they can cook two meals. This is an easy and easy job, and they can also earn money.
The key to serving food is that the number of people here is limited, and it is first come, first served. It is much more lively than the coal mining place.
In a short time, everyone was found.
Yun Miaomiao passed by the bulletin board, and there was a sea of people. Yun Miaomiao, who was worried about not being able to recruit people before, instantly felt her heart in her stomach.
"Osmanthus cake, fresh osmanthus cake~"
The hawker's cries came, and Yun Miaomiao smelled the faint fragrance of osmanthus and walked towards the stall.
"Brother, how do you sell the sweet-scented osmanthus cake?" Seeing the customers, the vendor's face suddenly filled with smiles, "Girl, I made this sweet-scented osmanthus cake early in the morning, and picked it from the sweet-scented osmanthus tree I planted myself.
The flowers taste so good, it costs three cents per catty, how much do you want?"
"It smells good, can I try it?" Yun Miaomiao looked at the pleasant-looking osmanthus cake. She used to like it, and she still likes it now. The vendor cut a small piece for her. It was soft and sweet, "It tastes really good."
Very good, give me three kilograms."
"You bought so much, how can you eat it all?" Magistrate Zhao reminded her because he was afraid that she would not know how much three kilograms was.
Seeing that she was a big customer, the hawker immediately packed three kilograms for her and said, "Take it, here are three kilograms of sweet-scented osmanthus cake."
After giving the money, Yun Miaomiao replied, "My parents used to love to eat osmanthus cake. After coming here, they haven't even seen the shadow of osmanthus cake. They are not in good health, so I bought this osmanthus cake for them."
Just make them happy with some snacks, and they won’t get damaged if you leave them alone, don’t worry.”
Magistrate Zhao knew something about the Yun family, "The Yun family's crimes cannot be cleared in one day. I think your brother is smart. He has re-established an academy in Ruizhou. Ruizhou Academy, if you don't worry about him,
I will write a letter of recommendation to their dean and ask Yun Su to study there. When he has the ability in the future, with you at home and him outside, the Yun family will not be afraid of not being able to succeed."
"Is there an academy in Ruizhou?" Yun Miaomiao didn't know this.
Magistrate Zhao nodded, "Ruizhou Academy is an old academy. It has produced first-class officials in the past. Even though Ruizhou is a small county town, the academy's reputation is well-known even in the capital.
Yun Su is young, so going to the academy is the best choice. You can't just let him spend his days raising chickens and ducks in the backyard, right?"
Indeed, Yun Su's age is the most suitable for studying.
It turned out that she also saw that Yun Su was young and had encountered changes in his family, so she didn't want him to be too promising. She just wanted him to live a happy life. With Yun's father and Gu Fengqing here, it wouldn't be a problem.
Now, Magistrate Zhao's words reminded her that Yun Su needed to receive a formal education, and she could no longer live like this.
"If Magistrate Zhao is willing to come forward to recommend him, it will be Yun Su's blessing. However, if the people at Ruizhou Academy know that Yun Su is the son of a guilty minister, they may not allow him to enter." Yun Miaomiao said worriedly.
Magistrate Zhao comforted her, "This is not a difficult matter. I just need to write in the letter that he is my distant nephew. You ask Yun Su to talk less about the Yun family in the academy. If a man can tolerate it for a while, the sea and the sky will be brighter.
The accusation is not imminent, as long as we don't tell anyone, no one will know that he is Yun Su, the son of the Yun family in Beijing."
"Then I'll spare the trouble for the county magistrate. I'll tell my parents and Yun Su when I get back." Yun Miaomiao also wanted Yun Su to make a career, so she agreed to Magistrate Zhao's proposal.
However, she hopes that Yun Su can go to the academy. As for whether Yun Su goes or not, the decision is up to him.
After buying sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Yun Miaomiao bought ten more chickens, ten ducks, and two little rabbits, but she couldn't take any more.
In addition to raising chickens and ducks, Yun Miaomiao also bought two kilograms of beef and three kilograms of beef brisket. Magistrate Zhao stared at the money spent.
He finally realized what it means to spend money like water.
Yun Miaomiao is the richest person. In addition to the one thousand taels of silver that Xiao Zhuo previously rewarded and the five hundred taels for finding a boat, even if the Yun family spent one hundred taels of silver to rebuild their house, there would still be plenty of money left.
.
County Magistrate Zhao stared at Yun Miaomiao as if he were staring at the God of Wealth, "Well, Xiaoyun, there is something you can do to see if you can~"
"I have no money!"
If you don’t have money, who does?
He must have paid for the coal digging. He had ten taels of silver a month. The court did not allocate any money, but he still had to pay for labor, food and drink. It really cost money everywhere, even his monthly silver.
Not extravagant enough.
Magistrate Zhao didn't believe it, "You don't have money, who has money? I'll give you an IOU, can you see if it's okay? If the court doesn't allocate money, how can I send money to these people? Even my monthly silver is far away."
It’s not enough. If all the savings at home are used up, my wife and son will go hungry.”
"You're going to talk about coal in the book, why don't you ask the court for money to mine coal?" Yun Miaomiao raised an eyebrow.
"How dare I?" The result of not daring to say anything is that now he has to owe a lot of debt.
