Chapter 937 Today, Very Busy

I don’t know how San Ya’s maid was trained. She was also trained by Aunt Lan. The maids around her don’t seem to be very smart.

While Ma Shan was amused by the little maid, she thought that what her mother said was right. It was true that like master, like maid. Look at this little mouth that can talk.

After the maid finished speaking, she pointed to one of the bundles the maid brought and picked the one that didn't contain ginseng slices, which was actually quite presentable.

If she were to ask her, it's just a sprained ankle, why give him ginseng slices? And you want to make the old man have enough energy? It's useless to just send him a few eggs.

Just this one portion, with brown sugar, meat and chicken, is enough for the old man to have a broken bone. It's great. It's more than enough for a granddaughter-in-law to send such a gift.

No matter how much, he will end up lying around doing nothing every day. The eldest son, who has taken away most of the family property, will not have to take care of the old man in his old age and can just follow him and enjoy the good life.

I'm used to it!

Thinking of this, Ma Shan reached out to the bundle that he had just untied but had not yet tied, picked out two gifts, and said, "You don't have to take the old hen later.

It's hard to find old hens at this time of year. The old hens at home are for San Ya to eat during her confinement. Even if we take them away, you won't be able to drink a sip of the soup."

In this way, without these two gifts, it can be considered as a four-color gift, but is it too little? The little maid subconsciously looked at Mai Huang.

Ma Shan couldn't help laughing when she saw this.

"I will follow the grandma's instructions." Mai Huang said, and immediately bowed to Ma Shan to express his gratitude.

The little maidservant was also very attentive and followed suit. She bowed to Ma Shan, quickly tied up her bundle, and put the two gifts that Ma Shan had picked out into another bundle.

Ma Shan was even more delighted when she saw this. If it wasn't for the gift-giving matter today, the sooner she sent it, the better. She even wanted to tease this little maid.

However, the gifts have all been prepared. She only needs to ask the head maid to ask the housekeeper to prepare some extra gifts, and then they can be sent to the old courtyard together. She doesn't want to waste any more time.

After instructing the maid to find so-and-so and bring over some things, Ma Shan said frankly that she had other things to do and would not go to the old courtyard.

Mai Huang had been waiting for a long time, waiting for these words. Since Ma Shan was not going to the Gu family's old house in person, it was natural for her to accompany Ma Shan's maid to the old house.

as predicted.

Hearing that Ma Shan asked her to accompany Ma Shan's maid to visit Mr. Gu, Mai Huang agreed decisively without shirking her responsibility, trying to go early and come back early.

Today is very busy.

Just now, when I came out of the upper house of the East Courtyard and was on my way back to the West Courtyard, before I even passed through the Middle Courtyard, someone here informed me that the county magistrate had arrived in Hexi.

Mai Huang saw her wife coming back from outside at some point in the intersection ahead and walking in. Before she could quickly step forward to greet him, her wife suddenly turned around.

Fortunately, according to what the old woman said, the county magistrate had just arrived in Hexi, and would have lunch there before coming to Yuyuan.

"...The old master and the second master are all in Hexi right now. The county master will pass through several workshops in the afternoon before coming here."

Zhou Banxia was not surprised after hearing this. Even if Mai Huang did not come back to inform her, she could have guessed that Qian Huaizhi should have arrived at her parents' home by about this time.

As for Qian Huaizhi's afternoon visit to the workshop, it goes without saying that Qian Huaizhi was the father and mother of the county, so it was not as simple as coming to pay respect to his uncle. She could even imagine that when Qian Huaizhi, the county lord, came to Hexi at this time, he would not take the carriage directly to her mother's house, but would always stop for a while on the way.

For example, when the county magistrate arrives, the village head and a group of respected elders in the village will greet and accompany him. The county magistrate will always get off the carriage to look at the farmland and ask about the preparations for spring farming.

This routine has always been the same, regardless of time or place.

"Yes, Second Madam, and the Master of the School is here too."

Cheng County Edict?
Yes, he will come along.

No matter how you look at it, Cheng Xianyu is more than just the county school teacher of Xuanzi and Dajiang. He is actually a cousin of Uncle Cheng, and a cousin with whom he has a good relationship.

Perhaps Uncle Cheng was somewhat worried that Qian Huaizhi, who was so young and appointed as a local official, would inevitably be full of youthful energy, so he had asked County Magistrate Cheng to take care of Qian Huaizhi.

However, judging from Qian Huaizhi's performance since taking office, although he seemed young and energetic and had dealt with the former county lieutenant and his gang with thunderous means, he is indeed a man who can get things done.

Almost as Zhou Banxia guessed, at this moment, at the Hexi entrance of Qinghe Village, clan leaders Zhou, Gu, Zhou Xiucai and other clan elders, as well as the head of the village and others, were escorting Qian Huaizhi into the village.

Among this group of people, there was a man who was always called "Second Uncle" by Qian Huaizhi, and he was caught by Qian Huaizhi and could not hide anymore.

He really wanted to ask his relatives to share the firepower, but unfortunately, his relatives were not usually righteous people. They had already fallen behind and accompanied Master Cheng.

As for the brothers-in-law who were not far from him, the eldest brother-in-law was serving at the back, and the third brother-in-law was much closer, but he did not help his father-in-law.

Gu Wenxuan didn't know that his father-in-law, who had walked in front of him, was still thinking about rescuing him. Of course, even if he knew, he would not have done anything unnecessary.

This guy is very strange.

If we talk about the original Duke of Liang's Mansion, the princesses and the county ladies, although they were high and mighty figures in the eyes of the common people, it was precisely because they were too high that they did not feel very real.

On the contrary, the county magistrate, although his position is not high, is the local official in charge. When the villagers see the county magistrate coming, their attitude is completely different.

Those who were present today, as well as those who watched from afar and dared not come forward, all looked at his Yue family in a different light. It went without saying that even his mother-in-law was now enjoying a glorious life.

All of a sudden, his Yue family has gained power and has someone behind them. From now on, who will dare to envy his mother-in-law for wearing gold and silver and gossip about her?

The group walked and talked. No matter how slowly they walked, they had arrived at the entrance of the village and were closer to the Zhou family, which is still located in the center of the Zhou clan’s settlement in Hexi.

Not far away is the Zhou family's main gate, which is very easy to identify. On the left and right sides of the Zhou family's main gate stand the two stone pillars of the scholar in the river. Many people stop here.

This large number of people naturally does not include the Zhou and Gu clan leaders, clan elders, village heads, and Gu Erzhu and his two sons who came to greet and accompany them to the Zhou family’s gate.

But, is it possible to not recite poems and compose essays?

Gu Wenxuan knew that his Senior Brother Qian was lively and could not pretend to be calm for long. He even thought that when he was walking behind him, he didn't know that he had already colluded with Master Cheng on how to play a trick on him before leaving the county government office.

How can a little Sanyuan be compared with a smart person like you who has already become a Jinshi before the age of thirty? This is to praise his Yue family highly and not forget to make him famous. Does your uncle, my husband, know about your feat?
