Five-year-old little girl: Mom has thousands of acres of material space

Chapter 238 The Governor Visits the Soap Shop in Person
As autumn approaches, it gets dark earlier and earlier.

Seeing that no customers came to the door, Jiang Xiaoxiao was about to ask Xiao Linzi to close the shop and rest, when suddenly there was a sound of rolling wheels outside, from far to near.

A low-key and luxurious carriage stopped in front of the shop.

Two guards in casual clothes opened the car curtain, and two middle-aged men stepped out of the car.

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked up and saw Du Hong, the magistrate of Yong'an County, who was leading the way.

Magistrate Du respectfully led the middle-aged man behind him into the soap shop. The man was dressed in rich clothes, with a feather crown on his head and a jade pendant on his waist. His demeanor was calm and unhurried, giving people a very calm and majestic feeling.

Xiao Linzi was the most discerning and hurriedly greeted him.

Jiang Wei, who was looking through the account books behind the counter, quickly walked out when he saw this.

According to Dayin's law, when civilians meet officials, they must kneel down and pay homage.

Even if the mother and daughter are not from this world, they still understand that they must follow the rules here. Just as they were about to bend down and kneel down, they were stopped by Magistrate Du himself: "There is no need to salute. This time we came out for a private visit incognito. Keep everything simple.”

Xiao Linzi's legs were trembling, and he bent over without daring to get up. He had already recognized the county magistrate.

During the day, he went to the county government office to watch the excitement. Although there was a sea of ​​people at that time, he could barely catch a few glimpses of the proceedings in the lobby while squeezing outside the crowd. Naturally, he had caught a few glimpses of the appearance of the county magistrate.

When he walked in, he didn't recognize him for a moment, thinking he was from a wealthy family. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be the county magistrate, the official parent of Yong'an County. Why wasn't he afraid?

Jiang Wei saw Xiao Linzi's nervousness and fear and simply asked him to go down and rest first.

Xiao Linzi returned to the backyard in fear.

Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced at the two guards guarding the door. Although they were dressed in casual clothes, the swords hanging on their waists were hard to ignore. If anyone passing by saw this, they would not immediately notice that something was wrong.

Jiang Wei obviously thought of this and simply took a few people to the backyard of the shop.

There happened to be tables and chairs in the yard. When the magistrate came, he couldn't let people stand and talk.

Jiang Xiaoxiao also brought out tea and snacks. Fortunately, he has lived in the town more often recently, so these foods are all ready-made, so there is no need to prepare extra.

After Magistrate Du and the middle-aged man sat down, Jiang Xiaoxiao stood quietly aside.

She noticed that the two guards were also standing not far away, neither too far nor too close. They seemed unprepared, but their right hands always held the long swords on their waists, as if they were always alert.

It seems that these two guards dressed in casual clothes are not ordinary guards.

For a moment, Jiang Xiaoxiao had a rough guess about the identity of the middle-aged man brought by Magistrate Du.

While Jiang Xiaoxiao was observing the two officials, Xie Cheng was also observing Jiang Xiaoxiao calmly.

She clearly looks like an ordinary five-year-old girl, with a delicate and white face, an innocent and cute expression, but there is a hint of maturity and shrewdness in her eyebrows that only belongs to an adult.

He smiled unconsciously and waved to Jiang Xiaoxiao: "Come and sit."

Jiang Xiaoxiao was stunned and pointed at herself subconsciously.

Is it okay for a five-year-old girl to sit at the same table as a court official?
The middle-aged man brought by Magistrate Du was none other than the governor Shen Que mentioned - Xie Cheng. The governor is not an ordinary official.

In the country of Dayin, the person in charge of a county is the county magistrate, and the official above the county magistrate is the prefect.

The prefect is the largest official in Xuzhou, which is equivalent to the modern mayor. He has the responsibilities of issuing national decrees, governing the people, hearing lawsuits, and collecting taxes.

And above the prefect, there is the governor.

The governor is different from these local officials. He is a capital official. He is sent by the capital court to check and balance the power of local officials. He has the responsibility to govern the entire state and county, is in charge of military and political power, and is a fourth-rank official.

Isn't it too shocking that a dignified imperial official came to her small shop and asked her to sit at the same table?

However, she was shocked. Jiang Xiaoxiao was not a mother-in-law. After hesitating for two seconds, she decisively walked over and sat down at the table.

Similarly, Xie Cheng also asked Jiang Wei to come and sit down.

Jiang Weisi sat down without hesitation, her clean and tidy look made Magistrate Du take a second look.

I have long heard that this young lady from the Jiang family is not like ordinary people, but I didn’t expect that she has such courage. If she were an ordinary woman, she would be so frightened that she, the county magistrate, would be trembling with fear and unable to lift her head. The lady seemed to be accustomed to it.

But yes, people who can't even do anything about that giant Buddha are certainly not ordinary people...

"You are Xiaoxiao." Xie Cheng looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao. His voice was extremely inconsistent with his serious and calm appearance, revealing an approachable and gentle tone. "Shen Que mentioned you more than once in his letter. Now I see In real life, she is really a clever and lovely little girl.”

In front of the court official, Jiang Xiaoxiao did not dare to relax too much, so she could only laugh twice: "Haha, I didn't expect Lord Shen to mention me in the letter. It's such an honor for a civilian girl..."

Having said that, the toes were already awkwardly buckled.

Why did Shen Que mention her in the letter when he had nothing to do?
I was already tired pretending to be a five-year-old, but I didn't want to attract any more attention.

Fortunately, Xie Cheng did not continue to mention what Shen was sure of, but instead talked about the Huang family's case: "The crimes committed by the Huang family are not trivial. In a few days, I will personally escort them back to the capital and hand them over to Dali Temple." Ask the judge, if you have anything to add, I can report it on your behalf.”

Mother and daughter both shook their heads.

From what they now know, the crimes committed by the Huang family are nothing more than abducting children and selling officials. As for other heinous crimes, she has no idea and does not want to get involved.

Shen Que came here after chasing the account book, thinking that it should not be as simple as sending the Huang family to prison.

"That's the case..." Xie Cheng nodded slightly, and he glanced at Magistrate Du beside him. Magistrate Du immediately sat up straight, took out a stack of deeds from his arms, and said, "This belongs to the Huang family. The title deeds of the house and several shops in his family’s name are all here.”

A thick pile of deeds was placed on the table, which was very eye-catching.

Jiang Xiaoxiao swallowed.

What does it mean?
So many land and house deeds... are they going to be given to her family?

"Master Xie, what do you mean by this?" Jiang Wei spoke quietly. She glanced at the deed on the table without moving, and there was no hint of joy in her eyes.

When Magistrate Du saw this, he couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart. The Huang family's huge house and several shops were worth tens of thousands of taels in total. Even he couldn't help being moved. This Jiang family The little lady didn't even show any pretense.
