Chapter 356 Chapter 355
When night fell on the world, Majia Village was also surrounded by darkness.

Under a half-dead ginkgo tree at the entrance of the village, two bonfires were burning leisurely, and from time to time there were a few explosions as the branches expanded and burst due to heat.

The people led by Lu Tong and the Jiang county magistrate were all warming up around the campfire.

It’s already cold at night in November, but it can only be considered a little cold during the day, and a thin cotton coat is enough, but at night, a thin coat is not enough.

Before I came here, I never thought of staying overnight, so I didn't bring anything to keep out the cold. I had no choice but to go to the villagers' homes to buy firewood and light a bonfire for warmth.

As for going to the villagers' homes to avoid the cold, hehe.

Qi Baoer was the only one who had something to keep out the cold, and Ye Sanni learned that she was going to check everywhere to see if she had prepared enough for the ceremony. Cold clothes and food were packed in a carriage.

Twelve showed her face once and became a bodyguard. Qi Baoer should have two bodyguards at her level. She thought it was unnecessary and thanked the emperor when she left the palace. Now she offered to let Twelve be her bodyguard. As a guard, the emperor naturally has nothing to say.

But this is something for later, after all, the emperor has not received the letter yet.

Twelve was originally Linwei, that is, the emperor's dark guard.

As for the hidden guard, it gives the impression that he is taciturn, unfeeling, rigid, etc. In short, he should be a cruel character similar to a wooden man.

In fact, it is not the case, at least Twelve is not. She is usually quite silent, but she is no weaker than her when she chatters, and her thoughts are delicate enough.

Just like now, because this trip is not only going to one place, Lu Tongpan also brought a salute, and all the servants who followed also brought a change of clothes, but everyone put everything away before coming to Weijia Village. Put them in the post station, there were only twelve of them, and I brought two big bags for Qi Baoer.

At this moment, everyone was warming up by the fire with their hands tucked away, and Qi Baoer was wearing thick clothes and a thick cape. Not only that, she also had cakes to eat.

You are not angry.

Twelve warmed the paper bag in his hand and handed it to Qi Baoer, "Master."

Qi Baoer took it and was slightly stunned for a moment, then glanced at Twelve with an unchanging expression.

Twelve: "???" What did he do wrong?

Qi Baoer quickly withdrew her gaze and glanced around, because the people at the fire on their side didn't say much, and none of the yamen servants sitting at the fire on the other side dared to speak.

It's just that she didn't dare to speak, she didn't dare to speak, and all of them were communicating with each other's eyes, especially when she was eating, each of them had obvious greedy eyes.

Honestly, don't blame them.

The people in Majia Village seemed to be terrified by something. Even if they were servants from the government, no one would open the door for them when they called for it.

You can't just break in because of stuttering, right?
So what happened to their official family?
Therefore, among those present, including Lu Tongpan, there was one who was empty stomached, and the one who hadn't eaten two meals was empty stomached.

"How much food do we have left?"

Twelve is smart, he can understand what his county master means when he hears it, he is quite reluctant, the only person he wants to take care of is the county master, including himself, he is an outsider, save the county master's stutter Outsiders, when he thinks about it, his eyes are full of displeasure.

But he still replied honestly: "Madam said that the county lord has a good appetite recently, and I'm afraid the county lord will be hungry, so the subordinates brought a lot."

It seems that if others want to eat Qi Baoer's food, they are stealing food.

Fortunately, Twelve's voice was not loud, and I only prayed that Bao'er could hear it alone.

Qi Baoer glared at him angrily, "Take it out and share it with everyone."

When Twelve came out with a whole bag of biscuits worth 30 yuan, Qi Baoer was so shocked that his eyes widened.

She thought this guy only brought pastries, why didn't he bring out these cakes earlier?
The yamen servants were thankful for getting the cakes, not to mention that they finally had something to eat after being hungry for two meals, the fact that these cakes were all made of pure white flour was worthy of thanks.

The lack of food in the Qilin Kingdom is not just a matter of talk. Ping'an Town is relatively remote compared to Yong'an City. For half a year, food has to be bought according to the head count, and it has nothing to do with being rich or poor.

But no one would think about why the county lord didn't show this in front of the food. How to put it, the levels are different. To put it harshly, one can be said to be the master and the other a servant.

Yaya servants are public servants of the government, but they have no rank or rank, so they have a higher status than ordinary people. Among ordinary people, they are official servants, but they can be placed in front of high-ranking officials and people with titles like Qi Baoer. Ordinary people are not much different.

What the county lord takes out is called a reward.

Rewards, good or bad, must be followed happily.

The county owner just refused to give it, even if they threw away what they couldn't finish, they didn't dare to complain even if they were greedy, and they couldn't even express dissatisfaction, otherwise it would be disrespectful.

In Qilin Kingdom, disrespect is a crime.

This is the main reason why people under the imperial power try their best to be superior to others.

Moral kidnapping does not exist.

Jiang County Prime Minister didn't dare to get close to Qi Baoer and Lu Tongjue, not because he didn't want to curry favor, but because he was smart, if the gap was too big, if he acted too fast, if he couldn't curry favor with others, he would only make people feel bored .

Now there is a chance to send it up, and Jiang County Cheng hurried up to Qi Bao'er with the cake in his hand to thank him.

But that's why he's so smart, he thanked him and immediately backed away, not taking the opportunity to rub his face.

The county magistrate Jiang didn't know, but his move caused Qi Baoer to look at him a few more times. It was a sign in Qi Baoer's heart, and he also kept the county magistrate's position for himself.

Qi Baoer took the paper bag that had been warmed by twelve to Lutongpanna, and Lutongpan also took a piece of cake, but he didn't gobble it up like the others, but still leaned against the tree holding the cake Close your eyes and rest.

His expression was slightly tired and dignified, as if he was worried about something.

Qi Baoer took the cake in his hand and gave it to the servant next to him, and stuffed the paper bag into his hand before he had time to act.

Lu Tong was taken aback by her actions, but he opened his eyes and saw that it was her who came, and let her do what he did.

He squeezed the paper bag and said with a smile: "It's still your guard who is smart enough to bring these food."

The main reason is that they didn't expect that the villagers here would not even be able to knock on the door.

After Qi Baoer stuffed the paper bag in Lu Tong's hand, Twelve flashed a similar paper bag to her.

Qi Bao'er took out a big bun from the paper bag and took a sip, "This is a big meat bun made by my mother. We were in a hurry and didn't bring too much. Lucky Uncle Lu."

As long as her mother prepared buns for her, the meat inside would be stuffed as much as possible.

The little girl's naive appearance with bulging cheeks is really cute, Lu Tongsan almost couldn't resist stretching out his hand to pinch that little face several times.

But he was really hungry, and the smell of meat buns scrambled to his nose, forcing his hand to take out a big bun without listening to the control of his brain.

At this moment, Qi Baoer stopped chewing the buns and looked up at the village.

"Out."
