Chapter 979 The Daughter That Was Left Behind (10)
However, although the Shi family only raised thirty pigs this time, they used one to kill the pigs for rice, and used another to honor the county magistrate and distribute it to his colleagues.
Thanks to word-of-mouth spread among these people, twenty of the remaining twenty-eight were soon sold.
The remaining eight heads were killed and not sold. Instead, they were made into sausages. Like the noodles, they were most suitable for people traveling far away.
In this way, when you go out, you can not only eat noodles, but also meat.
The pig bones were stewed into soup every day and sent to the charity hall in the county town in the name of the county magistrate for the children to drink.
The county magistrate was very satisfied with what the Shi family had done.
Although he is not that good, he is not that bad either. He is the kind of person who exploits the people under his jurisdiction and makes them miserable.
Moreover, what the Shi family is doing is to help him build a good reputation. Naturally, the more things like this, the better.
For this reason, the county magistrate appreciated and valued Shi Xinhai even more.
In just five years, Shi Jiang grew from eight to thirteen years old. In his prime years, he already showed the graceful figure of a girl!
And the Shi family has also changed from an ordinary family to the wealthy family it is today.
"In another year, Mr. Niu will return to the capital to report on his work. His performance appraisals have been excellent every year in the past few years. I believe that he will be promoted this time when he returns to the capital. Your Majesty, you will take me with you to the capital."
Because of the help from his family, Magistrate Niu deliberately stayed in this county for another three years.
In the past five years, the county has been prosperous and prosperous, and the people have no worries about food and clothing.
Coupled with the good reputation Shi Jiang had accumulated for Magistrate Niu, even if he was far away from the capital, the capital still knew everything he had done in the county he managed.
This made the emperor sitting on the throne very happy.
After all, the clan uncle of Magistrate Niu is Niu Ben, the minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Although the blood relationship between the two people is actually somewhat distant, Magistrate Niu is considered a branch of the Niu family, while Niu Ben, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, is a direct descendant of the Niu family.
If Magistrate Niu did something bad, Niu Ben would naturally not recognize his nephew.
But what Magistrate Niu did was a good thing, and his reputation spread to the capital, which is naturally the honor of the entire Niu family.
When the emperor praised Magistrate Niu, Niu Ben also felt that his face was bright.
Since he is his nephew, it is natural that he should be promoted.
This also explains what Shi Xinhai said to Huiniang just now. After his term of office expires, Magistrate Niu will return to the capital to report on his duties.
When Shi Xinhai said these words to Huiniang, he did not avoid Shi Jiang and his three sons.
Seeing the graceful Shi Jiang who had already left home, Hui Niang had no objection to going to the capital with Magistrate Niu.
After all, in her opinion, there is really no suitable person to be Jiang'er's husband in this small county.
It is better to go to the capital city and find a good marriage for Jiang Er. After all, it is really difficult to find a husband for Shi Jiang here.
"It just so happens that my second brother is going to take the imperial examination in the capital. If he wins the first prize this time, I'm afraid he will be taken down from the list to catch his son-in-law, right?"
After Shi Jiang heard what Shi Xinhai said, he immediately turned to Shi Xu with a smile.
Shixu is eighteen this year. He passed the national examination last year, and then went out to travel for a year. After returning, he settled down to study at home and prepared to go to the capital to take the top exam this time.
Shi Sui is twenty this year. As early as three years ago, he followed his father Shi Xinhai as a policeman in the Yamen.
If Magistrate Niu wants to take Shi Xinhai to the capital this time, he will inevitably take Shi Sui with him.
After all, Shi Sui was like Shi Xinhai, very strong, and even two or three strong men could not do anything to him.
Coupled with the skills that Shi Sui learned from Shi Xinhai, it can be said that one against ten is more than enough.
Shi Zheng was also thirteen years old. He used to be a snotty kid, but now he has become polite.
Of course, this is only superficial.
In fact, when he started raising pigs in the Shi family, he began to learn medical skills from Cao Zheng.
The operation of castrating pigs was done neatly and neatly.
Shi Jiang believed that even if Shi Zheng didn't castrate pigs and instead went to castrate people in the palace, there should be no problem.
Shi Jiang followed Shi Sui and learned Shi Xinhai's skills.
At first, everyone in the family thought she was joking.
But he didn't expect that in the past five years, in the eyes of outsiders, the skills Shi Sui taught his father would be extremely powerful.
In fact, the most powerful person in the entire Shi family now is the cute little girl Shi Jiang.
Even if Shi Xinhai comes to fight Shi Jiang now, he can't beat her.
For this reason, Huiniang was often angry with Shi Xinhai.
In her opinion, Shi Jiang, a delicate little girl, was taught by her own man to be even rougher than that rough guy.
She prefers to be armed than to wear women's clothing. Looking at Shi Jiang now dressed in men's clothing, you can know the main reason why Hui Niang is not opposed to following Magistrate Niu to the capital!
In addition to the fact that there is no family in the county who is worthy of his daughter, more importantly, Shi Jiang's reputation is so famous that in the past two years, people inside and outside the county who have been deceived by her appearance and want to come to propose marriage.
He was beaten all over by her!
"Girl, you are so old, but you are still talking arrogantly. Second brother thinks that after arriving in the capital, Jiang Er will be able to find a husband who can defeat you. When the time comes, let your husband take good care of you.
"
After being teased by Shi Jiang, Shi Xu's face turned red, and he immediately straightened his face, pinched Shi Jiang's cheek, and then said in a frightening way.
Shi Jiang was not intimidated by his words and replied with a smile.
"The person in this world who can defeat me hasn't appeared yet!"
What Shi Jiang said was really not a big deal.
Previously, she followed Shi Sui and asked Shi Xinhai to teach him some boxing and kicking skills.
In fact, in the past five years, she had already finished the elixir she had been given before.
At the same time, I will enter the space to meditate every night and absorb the spiritual energy in the space.
After all, because the current Mustard Seed Space is a world of its own, apart from the absence of the sun, moon and stars, it is no different from a small world!
Because of the spiritual grasses and flowers she planted, the spiritual energy in the Mustard Seed Space is quite strong.
Although her body does not have spiritual roots, it does not prevent her achievements in martial arts from rising as if she had added a plug-in.
Shi Jiang is only thirteen years old now, and there are probably not many people who can block her full force palm today.
In a few years, Shi Jiang will say that it is too cold to be at high places and lonely as snow!
"Okay, hurry up and change these clothes! It's all your father's fault for teaching you like a wild boy. Just stay at home today and follow me to learn female beauty, so as not to find your husband's family in a few years.
When you get married, you won't even be able to sew your husband's coat."
Huiniang gave Shi Xinhai an angry look. If he hadn't said that he was afraid that Shi Jiang was a girl, what would he do if he was bullied?
Learn some boxing and kicking skills to get close to your body.
It's better now, if she doesn't bully others, she will already be Amitabha!
