Chapter 201 Dress up as a pig and eat a tiger
As soon as this remark came out, the audience sprayed alcohol.

By the next day, everyone in the county knew that their county grandpa was a fearful person!Then, everyone was deeply curious about this county magistrate who is skilled in controlling husbands.

So that two days later, when Mu Jiaojiao invited the squires and wives to come over to enjoy the flowers, everyone who received the post arrived in time.

Everyone was sitting in the back garden, chatting and laughing, everyone's eyes were looking back and forth at Mu Jiaojiao's slender body, and the topic unconsciously shifted to the man.

Seeing that the time was right, a squire lady said with a smile: "Speaking of the art of imperial concubine, we still have to ask Madam for advice. You can make the county magistrate give up on you at a young age. What secret technique?"

"My secret technique is very simple, but it's a pity that none of you can learn it." Mu Jiaojiao said with a smile.

Everyone looked at each other two by two, and one person said again: "Madam, can you tell me the method in detail? Maybe we can really learn it!"

"Since you really want to know, then I can tell you." Mu Jiaojiao said, "Actually, there is only one word - money."

"Money?" Everyone was taken aback, not understanding what she meant.

On the side, Hongdou said: "I don't think you guys know yet, but my wife spent money on the official position of my husband, right? She spent almost [-] guan!"

"One hundred thousand!?"

This number caught my ears, and the country gentlemen and wives also sprayed it.

The richest people here have only [-] to [-] yuan in their family, which can already run wild in the countryside.As a result, now, the new county magistrate's wife can throw away [-] guan for just buying an official for her husband-in-law. This gap...they can't help but feel distressed.

Thinking back when Princess Anle and Empress Wei controlled the government and sold officials and nobles, a county magistrate could buy them for no more than [-] guan.In the end, they spent [-] yuan, and still came to such a remote place... Did they burn it because they had too much money?

Just looking at Mu Jiaojiao's calm expression, it's clear that he doesn't take the hundred thousand pennies seriously!This confident look tells everyone clearly - she has a lot of money, what is a hundred thousand pennies?
Compared with her, the family who thought they were rich suddenly withered.Those who hoped to learn a little of the art of stewardship from her were also disappointed.After all, although their mother's family has some money, they can't raise so much money even if they go bankrupt!It's no wonder the magistrate is so afraid of her, after all, this lady controls his lifeblood!
Knowing this, everyone immediately became much more cordial to Mu Jiaojiao.After all, everyone knows that since she has such a great influence on the county magistrate, as long as they have a good relationship with Mu Jiaojiao, if they only ask to come to Mu Jiaojiao for anything in the future, it will be a matter of Mu Jiaojiao's words ?

but……

"Dare to ask, ma'am, which famous family in Chang'an do you come from?" Actually, what they want to ask is, which family in Chang'an city is so generous that they have hundreds of thousands of dowry for the little lady?

"Not to mention a famous family, my father is the richest man in Chang'an, specializing in glass and Persian blanket business." Mu Jiaojiao said.

It turned out to be the merchant's daughter?

Hearing her answer, everyone's fiery hearts suddenly cooled down.Everyone looked at Mu Jiaojiao with a bit of contempt.

After barely saying a few more words, someone stood up and said goodbye.Others followed suit.

Mu Jiaojiao didn't seem to notice anything, and quickly asked someone to give them a palm-sized small wooden box made of mahogany.Inside the box were four large and small pills.

"It contains Angong Niuhuang Pills, Zhangzhou Pien Tze Huang, Yunnan Baiyao, and a medicine for bruises, which are the best-selling ones in my family's pharmacy in Chang'an City. You can take them home. It might come in handy when necessary."

"Then I would like to thank the county magistrate's wife. We will keep these medicinal materials well when we go back." A lady smiled slightly, but without looking at the things in her hand, she handed the box to the girl.

Most of the others are also like this.

Mu Jiaojiao still seemed to be blind, and sent him out with a smile.

In the evening, when Cui Pu came back from Xia Ya, he slumped on her body again and did not move.

Mu Jiaojiao rubbed his head for him: "Are you tired?"

"Can't you be tired? From the first day of receiving seals, worshiping the God of Yamen, and various gods and temples in this county, to clearing warehouses, inspecting cities and villages, passing on children's birth exams, and checking books. Mao... a bunch of things, I have been busy for nearly ten days, but I have only finished a small part of the work, and there are more than half of the things waiting for me to do, just thinking about it makes me go crazy!" Cui Pu said Then, he suddenly turned over, "How is it, how are you getting along with those country gentlemen and ladies today?"

"Not too pleasant." Mu Jiaojiao replied honestly.

Cui Pu laughed immediately. "Stop pretending, who doesn't know that you are playing the game of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger!"

"It's as if you're not playing." Mu Jiaojiao said coolly.

After all, the two looked at each other and laughed.

Enough of laughing, Mu Jiaojiao gave him a push: "Lie down, I'll massage your acupoints."

"Okay!" He liked her massage the most.As long as her fingers reached the place, that piece of bone on his body would be soft and extremely comfortable.No matter how sore the place is, the next day after she presses it, it will be extremely light.It's a pity that Mu Jiaojiao's health is not good, so he rarely massages him.Especially the full body massage like today's is even more pitiful.Now it's rare for her to take the initiative, so he is naturally happy to cooperate.

Mu Jiaojiao's long and slender fingers rubbed his body lightly, and Cui Pu immediately closed his eyes comfortably again, humming in his mouth and seemed to be about to fall asleep.

Suddenly, Mu Jiaojiao said, "Can I discuss something with you?"

Cui Pu lazily said, "What's the matter?"

"When you finish your work in the yamen, take me with you when you go to patrol the village!"

Cui Pu immediately turned over. "No wonder you are so attentive today. Say, is it for this purpose?"

"Yes!" Mu Jiaojiao nodded.

Cui Pu's face fell instantly. "You actually agreed so readily! Can't you just say a few nice words to make me happy, and say that you mainly love me, and the secondary thing is that you want to go out?"

"Oh, I mainly feel sorry for you, and this purpose is secondary." Mu Jiaojiao followed the good advice.

Cui Pu was happy now, and quickly turned over again: "Come on, come on, continue to press me. I'm exhausted!"

The sisters Hongdou and Mungdou looked at each other outside, they both shook their heads and sighed—their gentlemen, they are becoming softer and softer in front of the lady!

But Cui Pu did what he said.After being busy for another half a month, I finally managed to deal with the matters at hand, so I packed up my luggage and took Mu Jiaojiao to visit the countryside!

Originally, this visit to the countryside was a plan he had made long ago.It just so happened that when they first came here, they didn't have much to do, so they took the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the environment below.By the way, I also took Mr. Wu and the others to walk around to check the water conservancy situation here, which is also convenient for the next step of planning.

This time their target was Wuxing Town, the poorest town in Tianchang County.This town is the farthest from Tianchang County, but fortunately, it is only half a day's drive away.Depart early in the morning and arrive at the destination at noon.But they didn't enter the town, but went directly around the town and went to the countryside below.

Wuxing Town is poor, and most of the villagers below make a living by farming.It is now April, when they drove into the village, they saw green paddy fields on both sides of the road. A figure bending over to work.

Although Cui Pu has been to the suburbs before, but his group of cronies are just outings. When they see the wheat fields, they just recite a few sour poems and pretend to express a few clichés that worry about the country and the people. up.But now, standing on his own territory, seeing the people under his rule working so hard and still not having enough food and clothing all year round, he suddenly felt a pang of sorrow in his heart.

The car stopped at the entrance of the village, and Mr. Wu quickly jumped out of the car and led his people to observe the terrain on the ridge.Cui Pu also picked up Mu Jiaojiao, and the two walked slowly on the field.

It happened that a farmer had temporarily finished his work and came ashore to drink water.Cui Pu hurried up to greet him.

This is a young couple.Lang Jun was born very strong, with a dark face.Seeing that Cui Pu approached him proactively, he was not too restrained, and smiled heartily at him, showing his white teeth: "Are you guys here for an outing? But there is no good scenery in our village. If you want to go outing, It’s better to be in Ping’an Town next door. It’s rich there, and there’s a hill next to the town, so the scenery is much better than here.”

"We're just walking casually. It doesn't matter if the mountain is not." Cui Pu shook his head and said, looking at the rough porcelain bowl that Mr. Xiao Lang was holding in his hand, he didn't start, "By the way, you Tianchang County Recently, a new magistrate has arrived, do you know about this?"

"What does it matter to us whether the magistrate of the county is changed or not? We are different and have to work in the fields every day?" Mr. Lang smiled indifferently.

Cui Pu was taken aback. "You don't care about the temperament of this county magistrate, what measures will you take next to make your life better?"

"Let's forget about this! How many magistrates of the county have come here before, and when they first came, they always patted their chests and said that it would make our life better and better, but in the end, they were all farts? Instead of counting on that far The county magistrate in the sky, we might as well count on the ground under our feet to earn some life. God will be more merciful and let the land produce more. As for the county magistrate... as long as he doesn't search too hard, we will all be thankful !"

The little lady next to him who was pouring water for Mr. Lang also said in a soft voice: "Our Wuxing Town was originally poor, and the previous county magistrate was still an earth dragon. He was here for three years and almost scraped the ground. When we left It cost tens of thousands of money. We were not able to eat enough, and now life is even more difficult. Now I just hope that the new county magistrate will not be like him!"

When Cui Pu heard this, his face turned pale.

He moved his lips, almost blurting out, but was held down by Mu Jiaojiao.

Cui Pu paused, and quickly chatted with them casually.

After talking for about a meal, a person suddenly came running from the direction of the distant village: "Liu San, hurry back, your mother jumped into the river!"
