Chapter 62, Writing

Shi Jin said lazily: "What's the matter with those who kneel down? Leave the hall without incident!"

Xiao Qing raised his eyes and hurriedly replied: "My lord, wait a moment, my lord, the drought has been severe for several years, and the women's family has run out of food. They eat wild vegetables and gnaw bark at home. If they don't go to the mountains to find something to eat, the family members will have to live." Starving to death, the woman thought that there might be game and wild vegetables in the deep mountains. If she could find something to eat and go home, the family would be able to survive. My lord, if anything happens when the woman enters the deep mountains, it has nothing to do with my lord. Please allow me, my lord!"

County Magistrate Shi knew the situation in Yaoshan in the past few years. Many villagers had land in their families, but Xiao and his family’s land was all under the name of Qiao Xiangmin. Now.

No one dared to enter Yaoshan these years, and the surrounding villagers obeyed orders. If there were wild vegetables and dried fruits deep in the mountains, let them solve their food and clothing, and this would also solve the big headache that the imperial court gave him. The solution is to solve the drought in Yaoshan County. The severe drought is determined by God. What can he do?

What's more, didn't the civilian woman say that her life and death had nothing to do with him.

"I want a document to enter the mountain, right?" County Magistrate Shi asked.

Xiao Qing nodded: "It's my lord!"

"Master Qu, write to her!" County Magistrate Shi said.

Xiao Qing bowed and kowtowed again: "My lord, the woman still wants a document allowing to build a house and occupy the land of the house. Can you write it to the woman together?"

"Building a house?" Shi County Magistrate was surprised: "You can't afford to eat, but you can still build a house? Bold and cunning, are you playing tricks on me?"

Xiao Qing: "..."

You care about me, whether you live or die, why do you still care about whether to build a house?

"My lord, the woman wants one first, maybe it can be built later? Oh, Master Qu, don't forget to fill it up, and dig the cellar." Xiao Qing said with a smile.

Shi County Magistrate gritted his teeth and stared at the fat woman, this woman is hateful!
He glanced at Master Qu, and waved his hands irritably: "Give it to her, give it to her, tell her to leave quickly, and don't come to the county government if you have nothing to do in the future!"

Tell her to leave quickly, he doesn't want to see her for a moment!

Master Qu answered yes and started to write.

"Thank you, my lord!" Xiao Qing was still kneeling: "My lord, maybe you will see common women in the future, my lord, you must be prepared!"

See her often?

"Master Qu, write quickly!" Shi Jinkai ordered loudly.

Master Qu lowered his head, wrote vigorously, and finished writing as fast as possible.

He handed the document to Magistrate Shi for review, but Magistrate Shi didn't even look at it, just stamped it and threw it to Xiao Qing.

After Xiao Qing got these two documents, she carefully put them in her pocket. She didn't expect Magistrate Shi to be so easy to talk to.

"Thank you, my lord. I wish my lord good fortune and longevity, and everything goes well! Farewell, my lady!"

After finishing speaking, she got up and slowly backed out, leaving behind two dazed faces.

County Magistrate Shi was stunned, and asked in disbelief: "Master Qu, I heard right just now, did the woman actually say it well? Will she still bless me? Didn't he scold him for dying in the past?"

Master Qu looked at Xiao Qing's back and frowned: "Yes, when I came here before, I cursed at the top of my voice, scolded, beat and cursed people, this time it's different."

The two of them didn't have doubts for a long time, and then withdrew from the courtroom, fearing that Xiao Qing would return to the lobby again.

After Xiao Qing left the county office, she began to feel her way back. She was going to buy some steamed stuffed buns, and she had to go to the pottery workshop to order some large vats and urns. Most importantly, she had to write a letter to Qiao Hong, telling him , she will redeem him in the future.

There are still two or three months before the dry winter, and she wants to build the house and dig the cellar as soon as possible, thinking about what else to do, and making a detailed list for herself.

Xiao Qing bought meat buns, and brought some sugar figurines for the children. Last time they didn't have a stall, but this time I just saw it opposite the bun shop, so she just bought some, and then she went to the pottery workshop, and talked to the workshop staff The person ordered fifteen large vats and ten large urns, and the deposit was given five taels of silver.

After finishing these, she turned back to the bookstore.

"Shopkeeper, can I borrow your pen and paper? Shall I write a letter to my family?" Xiao Qing asked.

Seeing her familiarity, the manager of the bookstore smiled and asked, "Yo, sister-in-law, can you still write?"

Xiao Qing said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I learned from my father when I was young, but the writing is not good, it's crooked!"

The shopkeeper of the bookstore took out a pen, ink and paper: "Sister-in-law, please write a few for me to see."

Seeing that he didn't mention the money, Xiao Qing wanted to watch her write instead, probably because she thought she was a fat woman bragging!
"Okay, then I'll just stand here and write!" Xiao Qing took the pen and paper and put it on the stall: "Then I'll write a few hairpin editors to show my shame."

"Yo, I also know Xiaobian Hairpin, all right, you write, and I won't charge you a penny for writing it!" said the shopkeeper of the bookstore.

Xiao Qing laid out the paper, rubbed the ink, dipped the pen in the ink and tried to write a few words first.

After she wrote a few words, the shopkeeper of the paper shop was taken aback. He looked at the fat hand on the paper, it was not white, the posture and brushwork were very pleasing to the eye.

He didn't dare to make a sound now, can this fat woman really know how to write?

Moreover, the written characters are strong and stretched, and I can no longer express my liking for this character. Although it is only a small compilation of hairpin flowers, it is enough to see that she is hiding her secrets and there are many more. The good stuff didn't show up.

"The words are wonderful, the words are wonderful!" the shopkeeper couldn't help boasting.

Xiao Qing sent two sentences to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, you take these words first, I will write a letter to my son, and when I finish writing it, if you like this kind of words, I will give you a few more The word is for you!"

The shopkeeper of the bookstore took these words and was already addicted to them. The more he looked at them, the more he liked the beauty of a daughter and the vigor of a man's writing. It was the first time he saw these words in Yaoshan County for so many years.

Xiao Qing quickly wrote Qiao Hong what was in her heart, and also briefly said a few words about the family situation. After she finished writing, she opened a piece of paper on the front door spread behind the paper, and wrote to the shopkeeper of the bookstore: Yao Mountain Academy, four words.

The Daqing Dynasty should be about the same age as the Tang and Song Dynasties. She has been copying Zhang Xu's cursive script before. These characters are the wild cursive of Zhang Xu when he was drunk.

After Xiao Qing wrote these words, she quickly left the pen and paper and left. She wanted to find someone to pass the letter to Qiao Hong.

She went back to Laibin Restaurant and gave the letter to Zhou Ji, asking him to give him this letter the next time he saw Qiao Hong.

Zhou Ji accepted it with a smile, and promised to deliver the letter for her.

After finishing these things, Xiao Qing let out a long sigh. He had done a lot of things this morning.

The bamboo basket on her back is full of food again, and she will still need to change some food to go home later, so that there is more food in the house, Qin and Zhou will not remember how much rice and flour they have at home, and they will be at home by then. Just go to Xiaochao directly to change a few bags, and you won't be found out.
