Chapter 17
After Li Ji and his party left, only the Lin family and Hu Yunxue were by Xiao Mo's side. Of course, Zhou Kui also stayed behind to help Xiao Mo push the wheelchair.

Everyone was walking slowly on the road, looking at the time, it seemed that it was almost noon, and the sun was shining brightly.

On the way back to the town, Lin Chong thought for a long time, and then said to Xiao Mo: "Ziheng, it's too early!"

Xiao Mo knew that Lin Chong was saying that he promised Li Ji to go to the county seat tomorrow. Although Lin Chong was the Lizheng of Changle Town, he often walked in the county. Of course he knew some things he didn't know, so Xiao Mo said: "Please Uncle Shi made it clear!"

Lin Chong thought for a while, and felt that there was no outsider in front of him, only Zhou Kui. Xiao Mo knew what Lin Chong was thinking, so he said, "Uncle Shi, don't worry, Brother Zhou is one of our own!"

After only a while, he became his own person. Of course, Lin Chong was a little dissatisfied when Xiao Mo said this, he was still too immature!

After thinking about it, Lin Chong said, "Do you know why Chen Sihu resigned from the county office?"

Xiao Mo shook his head, but he looked confident, and said: "Although I don't know, but I guessed something, Uncle Shi said, but it has something to do with the rich households in the county?"

Lin Chong widened his eyes when he heard the words, looked at Xiao Mo and said, "You know that you still promised Master Li?"

Seeing Lin Chong's nervous expression, Lin Yiye and Hu Yunxue next to him couldn't help paying attention and listening to their conversation.

Originally, it was a good thing that Xiao Mo was able to become the Sihu in the county, so why does it seem that it is not so good in Lin Chong's view?

It was Xiao Mo who gave the answer: "Uncle Shi, it depends on people's wages. There is always a solution to the grain collection. Since Chen Sihu prefers to hide rather than go to those rich households, but Shen County has a shortage of grain, the problem will always be solved." If someone needs to solve it, in the end it has to fall on Mr. Li. Mr. Li is also for the people of our three towns. Since Mr. Li asked Xiao Mo for help, Xiao Mo might as well take this opportunity to help the three towns solve the problem instead of doing nothing. It's settled, isn't it all right?"

Seeing that Xiao Mo said it easily, Lin Chong only said that Xiao Mo didn't know the power of it, but he couldn't tell the matter between officials and businessmen, so he shook his head and said: "Don't think so simply, in short, drive very carefully. Nian Chuan, Uncle Shi is just giving this advice, when you get to the county by yourself, do it yourself!"

After all, Lin Chong seemed to be somewhat dispirited, so he planned to leave alone, but he heard Xiao Mo shouting behind him: "Uncle Shi, Xiao Mo has a merciless request, and I hope Uncle Shi can grant it!"

Lin Chong said: "Now Ziheng is the household head of Shen County, and his status is not inferior to the old man, so there is no need to be so polite when speaking. If you have something to say, just say it. Since Ziheng is willing to call me Shishu, then I can help you. You will definitely not be stingy."

In ancient times, everyone from the emperor down to the people had a deep feudal ideology, and they especially valued status and class. Now that Xiao Mo is the Sihu of Shen County, he is also a ninth-rank official position, compared to Lin Chong. Lizheng's rank is of course higher, but Xiao Mo and Lin Chong are still very polite when talking, and Lin Chong, who is respected, is of course happy.

Xiao Mo pointed to Lin Yiye and said, "I would like to ask Uncle Shi to allow brother Liang An to go to the county with Ziheng to help Xiao Mo and take the post of housekeeper. Xiao Mo will definitely not do it for too long. If it can be solved With the disaster in Shen County, Xiao Mo will bid farewell to your lord, and when the time comes, the post of housekeeper will not fall to others!"

Now Xiao Mo is a bit arrogant to say such things. He has not yet become a boss, and even has his successor in mind. It is a bit funny to say, but Lin Chong did not object after hearing this I meditated.

Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Lin Yiye was also a little surprised. He knew what material he was. After reading books all his life, Lin Yiye still understood how much ink and wash he had in his stomach. It might be a bit difficult to rely on the imperial examination. If it is really as Xiao Mo said, it can be regarded as a way to official career. Compared with the imperial examination, starting from a small official seems to have a much brighter future!

Thinking of this, Lin Yiye also said to Xiao Mo: "Thank you Ziheng, being able to be with Ziheng is what Yiye wished for!"

Xiao Mo hurriedly said: "Don't, why do you think this sounds weird?"

In fact, Xiao Mo saw that Lin Chong was really good to his family, especially just now, that kind of advice also showed that in Lin Chong's heart, he valued Xiao Mo.

As for Lin Yiye, how much his son weighs, Lin Chong, the father, of course knows, since Xiao Mo agreed and is willing to take Lin Yiye with him, of course Lin Chong would not refuse such a good thing, so he readily agreed down.

Everyone returned to the town together. Of course, some villagers watched on the road. In order to appease the villagers in the town and make them feel at ease, Lin Chong found a way to drain Xiao Mo and told him about going to the county to take a job. When they came out, they heard that Xiao Mo was actually going to be a housekeeper in the county, and many widows started to move again, leaning towards Xiao Mo one after another, and Xiao Mo was pushed away by Zhou Kui. back home.

These widows are too...so...enthusiastic. Looking at Xiao Mo's eyes, Xiao Mo didn't want to be surrounded by widows asking questions, so he had to use the last of the 36 tricks.

After returning home, he didn't see Meng Qiuxiang, so Xiao Mo shouted a few times in the yard, but there was still no movement. At this moment, Hu Yunxue said, "Isn't the aunt at home?"

Because Meng Qiuxiang fell ill last night, Hu Yunxue planned to follow Xiao Mo to see Meng Qiuxiang's condition.

Xiao Mo said: "I'm still very weak in the morning, I probably won't go out!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Mo asked Hu Yunxue and Zhou Kui to look around at home, and finally Zhou Kui carried Meng Qiuxiang out from the kitchen and shouted: "Erlang, this is the old lady?"

Meng Qiuxiang fell on Zhou Kui's back and seemed to have passed out, which scared Xiao Mo very much.

In the previous life, Xiao Mo's mother died when Xiao Mo was very young. Xiao Mo, who has never tasted the taste of maternal love, now has a mother with great difficulty. Although it is just a cheap mother, but his current picture The body and Meng Qiuxiang are still a real mother-child relationship, blood is thicker than water, if something happens to Meng Qiuxiang at this time, Xiao Mo himself will definitely feel bad.

Xiao Mo quickly called Hu Yunxue, and said anxiously: "Look quickly, what's wrong with my mother?"

In this panic, Xiao Mo even used the name "mother". Hu Yunxue saw Meng Qiuxiang's appearance, and quickly asked Zhou Kui to carry her into the bedroom, then drove Xiao Mo and Zhou Kui out, and closed the door. door.

Not knowing what was going on in the room, Xiao Mo was anxious, so he said to Zhou Kui: "Brother Zhou, please run over and call Uncle Lin."

Zhou Kui nodded and went away. After half a stick of incense, Lin Chong and Lin Yiye rushed in. When they met Lin Chong, they asked Xiao Mo: "Sister-in-law, what's going on?"

Xiao Mo shook his head and said: "After entering the door, it's like this. I guess he's been in a coma for a while. I'm afraid the old man's health will fail!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Mo lowered his head, looking dejected, when Lin Chong saw it, he scolded: "Nonsense!"

After thinking about it, Lin Chong asked, "Did you call the doctor?"

Xiao Mo said: "Miss Yunxue is taking care of it inside..."

Just at this point, the door of Meng Qiuxiang's room opened, and Hu Yunxue wiped off her sweat and said, "My aunt woke up, but her body was too weak, and she fell asleep again. I'll go back to the pharmacy first, grab some medicine and bring it here. Before, you must not go in and disturb the aunt!"

After all, Hu Yunxue left Xiao's house in a hurry. Since Meng Qiuxiang was fine and it was just a false alarm, Lin Chong said, "It's fine if you're fine. If your body is weak, just take good care of it. ah!"

Xiao Mo nodded when he heard the words, and when he saw that Lin Chong was about to leave after speaking, he stopped him again, but he couldn't open his mouth anyway.

Seeing Xiao Mo's distressed face, Lin Chong understood immediately, and asked, "But the family is short of silver taels?"

Xiao Mo nodded, and Lin Chong said: "It's easy to talk about silver, and I'll have someone send it when I go back!"

"So, thank you Uncle Shi, Xiao Mo will definitely repay you twice in the future!"

After Xiao Mo finished speaking, he was about to stand up and thank Lin Chong. Lin Chong hurriedly said: "You don't need to be too polite, it's important to take good care of your mother!"

After finishing speaking, Lin Chong walked out of the door, and when he reached the door, he turned back to Lin Yiye and said, "Why don't you go?"

Lin Yiye said: "Father will go back first, and my son will accompany Ziheng!"

After hearing this, Lin Chong said, "That's fine!" and left Xiao's house.

After Lin Chong left, Lin Yiye asked Xiao Mo, "Zi Heng, why are you missing sister-in-law?"

What Lin Yiye was talking about was Yuniang. Although the matter about Yuniang happened last night, Xiao Mo knew that with the speed at which the women in Changle Town spread gossip, it was impossible for Lin Yiye not to know. Deliberately mentioning Yuniang, thinking of this, Xiao Mo asked: "Liang An, from now on, you and I will be colleagues. If you have something to say, just say it!"

Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Lin Yiye directly told Xiao Mo about the fact that Yuniang had been a thing in his place for the past few years. More than 100 taels of silver have been pawned, and these properties are probably Yu Niang's dowry!
Thinking of Yuniang, Xiao Mo sighed!
 Two watches, [-] words, that's all for today. In the next chapter, Yuniang returns to Xiao's house. You may wish to guess why?Tomorrow will continue with [-] words...
