spend time

Ma County is an experienced person and can respond quickly. However, he was stunned for a moment and immediately responded with a smile on his face: "If you have anything to do, Princess, just give me your instructions. I will obey them all."

The princess's words of "discuss" were of course polite words. As a county magistrate who was deeply favored by the King of Nanyang and supported merchants, what qualifications did he have to "discuss" with the princess?

Jiang Shaohua showed Magistrate Ma dignity in front of others and said with a smile: "Today, the princess of Japan traveled incognito, and Magistrate Ma's eldest grandson was always with her. Master Ma is worthy of being carefully trained by Magistrate Ma. He speaks and acts thoughtfully. He handles trivial and general affairs very well."

"The princess is in short supply of such talents. Therefore, if the princess wants to recruit Mr. Ma to serve as an errand in the palace, she will start from the people around me. I wonder if Magistrate Ma is willing?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. The princess had never kept a secret before, so why did she suddenly ask Ma Yaozong to sacrifice someone else?

Chen Zhuo subconsciously glanced at the granddaughter beside the princess and saw that Chen Jinyu was also confused. It can be seen that the princess has not said a word to her.

This silly girl needs to be reminded in the future that she needs to be more careful when serving as an errand next to the princess. You can't even figure out the princess's thoughts, why would you want to sacrifice others!

The princess promoted Ma Yaozong out of the norm to give the Ma family dignity. Magistrate Ma had no right or room to refuse, so he quickly handed over his favor and thanked him: "The princess's favor is the blessing of that silly boy Yaozong."

Then, he raised his voice and called the eldest grandson of the last seat over: "Yao Zong, the princess has promoted you to be the servant. From today on, you will serve as an errand beside the princess. Why don't you kneel down and thank the princess for her kindness!"

Mr. Ma, who had always been smooth and clever, was also shocked by this sudden grace. His mind was confused, and he knelt down and kowtowed reflexively: "Thank you, Princess."

Then I heard the young princess smile and say: "People from the stables, please get up."

The newly appointed stable master, who had not yet recovered from the shock, thanked the princess again in a daze, and then stood up.

The princess turned to Chen Jinyu and smiled: "Chen Sheren, you are familiar with the personnel in the palace. In the future, when you have free time, you can give advice to the people in the house."

Chen Jinyu has been with the princess for so many days. This is the first time that she has truly experienced the princess's understatement and yet serious style. She was so shocked that she responded without hesitation: "Yes."

"Come here, add a stool to this table and invite the people from the horse house to take a seat." Jiang Shaohua ordered with a smile.

Immediately a servant brought a stool and placed it at the end of the table.

Ma Yaozong glanced at his grandfather reflexively. Magistrate Ma immediately glared at him.

What are you still stunned for?

The princess gives you a seat, so just sit down.

Ma Yaozong sat down uneasily.

Jiang Shaohua then asked Magistrate Ma with a smile: "By the way, Magistrate Ma just said that I have something to ask for. I wonder what it is about?"

What else is there to say now? The princess has used practical actions to support Ma's parents and grandchildren and gave Ma Yaozong a future. Gagged him!

Magistrate Ma cheered up and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to ask the princess to give my useless eldest grandson a future. Now that the princess has thought of it first, I am really grateful."

Jiang Shaohua smiled slightly: "The horse farm in Biyang County was built by Magistrate Ma who spent all his wealth and life on it. Over the years, Magistrate Ma worked hard to build Biyang County into a county, and raised hundreds of horses every year. There are four horse farms in Daliang, and the horse farm in Biyang County is second to none. These are all the contributions of Magistrate Ma County."

"Before my grandfather left, he repeatedly told me to be kind to Magistrate Ma. I have also kept it in mind."

"Don't worry, Magistrate Ma. My grandfather's promise to Magistrate Ma has been engraved in my heart and will not be forgotten for a moment. Now that my grandfather has gone west, and I am the master of the house, Magistrate Ma's position as magistrate will be secure." Sun, no one can shake it!”

Magistrate Ma's eyes were red with tears streaming down his face, and he thanked the princess with his hands.

……

This reception feast ended just before midnight. After the banquet, the princess personally sent the horse to the county magistrate's house. Ma Yaozong still wanted to go to his grandfather, but Magistrate Ma, who was so drunk that he could not walk unsteadily, said: "You stay here and wait for the princess to send you at any time."

Ma Yaozong was too full to ask questions, so he nodded next to the lantern that was swaying in the wind.

Jiang Shaohua smiled and said: "It's so late, what else is there to do? Magistrate Ma is too careful. Master Ma, you listen to this princess, send Magistrate Ma back to the county government office, and return to my princess tomorrow." Come on an errand.”

Ma Yaozong was a smart man after all, so he immediately accepted the order. After bidding farewell to the princess, he helped his grandfather get into the carriage.

The carriage whipped up its long whip and whistled in the night sky. The wooden wheels of the carriage rolled and the carriage quickly moved away.

Jiang Shaohua twitched the corner of his mouth, showed a smile of unknown meaning, and turned around to enter the horse house.

The Ma family's inner house is very spacious and has many courtyards. Chen Jinyu also lived in a separate courtyard. However, she was so upset today that she did not go back to her residence. Instead, she went to Chen Zhuo's courtyard and knocked on the door of the study.

"grandfather!"

Chen Zhuo was not surprised at all. He looked up at his granddaughter and said, "Close the door and come in."

Chen Jinyu pushed the door open, closed it, and sat next to her grandfather. The words she had been holding back all night came out immediately: "Grandpa, why did the princess suddenly want to support Ma Yaozong as her successor?"

"I was so confused tonight! I still don't understand it yet!"

Chen Zhuo glanced at his childish granddaughter and said calmly: "If you can't even figure this out, resign your position as a caregiver as soon as possible and go back to Bowang County!"

Chen Jinyu: "..."

Chen Jinyu's eyes were a little red, and she bit her lower lip in grievance. Her white teeth bit her lower lip into a deep mark.

Chen Zhuo was not soft-hearted and continued: "If you are just the princess's playmate, it doesn't matter if you are a little confused. The princess is willing to tolerate you, and I, the grandfather, can tolerate you. If you say or act inappropriately, everyone can laugh it off. "

"But now you are the princess's wife, and you are always by her side. You can't even figure out the princess's temperament, and you can't see through the princess's actions. What qualifications do you have to be the princess's wife!"

Chen Jinyu sniffed and asked her grandfather for advice: "I am really confused, please give me Chen Changshi's advice!"

Chen Zhuo suppressed his smile and said seriously:

"The princess is the lord of Nanyang County. The princess controls all the royal officials. The personal guard camp is not enough, so she also brings the Nanyang army into her hands. The princess will inspect these fourteen counties one by one."

"In Li County, the princess wiped out two bandit dens, killed all the bandits, and replaced the county magistrate."

"The Tang family in Xi'e County was beaten by the princess and changed the head of the family. He promised to do his best to buy and store grain for the princess in the future."

"Your father is the magistrate of Bowang County. The princess personally inspects the iron ore and silver mines, and also supports you as a layman. Have you never thought about the connection between this?"
