Be a small county magistrate in ancient times
Chapter 348 A Very Boring Person
Although Meng Changqing had some ideas in her mind, the reality did not allow it. She did not want to recruit from other counties, and there was currently no one who met the requirements in Beishan County, so she could only wait.
By the sixth day of September, the weather had become noticeably cold.
In this kind of weather, even Meng Changqing couldn't help but want to take a break and sleep a little longer in bed.
But she had no choice. Just as she had this thought, she heard Xi Bei cursing outside. Although she was cursing everyone, two out of three sentences mentioned Meng Changqing, "...Look at your young master. Has he ever been lazy in all these years? How can he be like you!..."
Meng Changqing couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he could only get up, pick up the knife beside the bed and go out to practice.
After sweating all over, the laziness in my head disappeared. I took a shower, changed into warm clothes, and put on an old thin cotton jacket on the outside before going to the front yamen.
As soon as I sat down in the study, my mind began to go through the things I had to deal with recently, one by one. While thinking, I couldn't help but press both sides of my temples.
When he was halfway through his official business, a yamen runner came to announce, "Sir, Li Putou from the government office is here."
Meng Changqing immediately thought of what he was here for. He first looked at his clothes and was very satisfied with the old cotton-padded jacket on the outside.
"Invite him in."
When Meng Changqing heard footsteps approaching outside, he stood up and went to the study door to greet them.
Li Ting followed Zhou Xing in with a package in his hand. His shorter hair was spread out to the sides, and it was obvious that he was in a hurry.
As soon as he saw Meng Changqing, Li Ting bowed and said, "Inside is a new official uniform, which the tailor just made last night."
"Brother Li, please come in." Meng Changqing said politely, "Thank you for bringing me here. Zhou Xing will serve tea."
Li Ting followed him into the study and placed the package in front of Meng Changqing. "Please open it and take a look. If there is anything wrong, I will take it back and ask the tailor to modify it."
Meng Changqing did as he was told and unwrapped the package. Inside was an exquisite lacquer box. Meng Changqing muttered to himself, no wonder a government official wanted fifty taels of silver.
She opened the box, picked up the official uniform and was about to put it on herself, but suddenly she stopped, looked up and smiled embarrassedly at Li Ting, and brushed off the dust on herself very seriously, fearing that the other party would not notice what she was wearing.
"It's a bit cold, so I'll wear a jacket over it." After trying it on and finding no need to change anything, Meng Changqing carefully put the uniform away. At this time, Zhou Xing brought tea, and Meng Changqing instructed him again, "Go find Bafang and ask him to bring the money for the uniform."
"Yes."
Zhou Xing stepped out and waited for a long time before Bafang came running over with a purse in his arms.
The reason for this, of course, is that Meng Changqing had given instructions in advance. Every word, action, and pause had been rehearsed in Meng Changqing's mind beforehand.
Bafang brought over a large purse containing silver ingots, silver coins, and copper coins. It was obvious that he had collected fifty taels of silver.
Meng Changqing apologized again, "I said before that I would send the money to the government office when I came back, but I was too busy and forgot. Please, Brother Li, tell the prefect not to blame me." She said this deliberately with a guilty look on her face.
Li Ting took the purse and his face froze. Then he realized that his master had asked him to force the sale.
When he returned to the government office to reply, he emphasized: "When I received the money, I really didn't know how to face Lord Meng. I was too embarrassed to weigh it carefully, so I just took the money and went back."
How could Wei Fangyun know that someone would be so bored that he would put on a drama with a complete beginning, middle and end just to cry poor.
So he worked even harder to deliver official documents to the Ministry of Revenue.
Not long after Li Ting left, Zhou Xing came again to report, "Laicai's carriage is back."
Meng Changqing put down the unimportant things in his hands and hurried to meet him.
When she arrived, Bafang was already with Lai Caipi. The two of them noticed Meng Changqing and immediately stood still and stopped moving.
"Is everything going well?" Meng Changqing asked Laicai.
Laicai nodded, "I've paid it all back."
Meng Changqing saw a layer of dust on his face and suppressed his desire to ask in detail, "Go wash up and eat first, and come to the study later. I have something to ask you." (End of this chapter)
