Sloth's Home Fragrance of Rice Fields

Chapter 140 The Magistrate's Lady
"Okay, this is your in-law's house. I'll save face for you. Anyway, remember that you are a girl, so you should look like a girl! I'll go back first."

"Brother, why don't you leave after eating?"

"No, the ox cart is still waiting outside, and there will be classes in the afternoon." Zi Xian rented an ox cart.

"Okay." Li Yao didn't force him.

The next day, Li Yao got into the town's carriage early and went to the county seat. Walking on the familiar street, Li Yao thought of Chen Wenbin again, and felt uncomfortable again. .

Li Yao asked several people before she found the location of the county government office. Li Yao wandered around not far from the county government gate for more than half an hour without seeing anyone coming in or out. At that time, two people came out from the gate of the county government office, and one of them was someone she knew.

Zheng Ningning?How did she get out of the county office?

"Sister? Sister is really you!" Before Li Yao could react, Zheng Ningning had already trotted over, grabbed Li Yao's arm and shouted happily.

"Ning Ning, why are you here?"

"I'm coming to see my aunt!" Zheng Ningning said with a beaming smile.

"Your aunt lives there?" Could it be the county magistrate's wife?

"That's my aunt." Zheng Ningning pointed to the smiling woman not far away who was looking at the two of them.

"Is your aunt the county magistrate's wife?" Li Yao asked.

"Yes, my uncle is the magistrate of Luo County." Zheng Ningning said with a smile, "Let's go, sister, I'll introduce my aunt to you." After saying that, he dragged Li Yao towards the woman.

Li Yao couldn't wish for it, so she let her drag her away.

"Auntie, this is the sister Li Yao I told you about, sister, this is my aunt." Zheng Ningning smiled brightly.

"Madam, magistrate, hello!" Li Yao gave a slight salute to the magistrate's wife.

"Hello, Mrs. Chen." The county magistrate's wife also greeted Li Yao with a smile.

Li Yao also heaved a sigh of relief seeing that the magistrate's wife had a gentle smile and was not such a difficult person to deal with.

"Sister, why did you come to the county?" Zheng Ningning asked, holding Li Yao's arm.

"Oh, I'm here to visit the county seat, where are you going?" Li Yao looked at the county magistrate's wife and asked.

"We're just strolling around too." The county magistrate's wife said with a smile.

"Sister, why don't we go together?" Zheng Ningning looked at Li Yao with hopeful eyes.

"This..." Li Yao looked at the county magistrate's wife, and did not speak for a long time.

"Mrs. Chen, let's go together. It's rare that Ning'er and you hit it off right away. She's been talking about you in front of me these days." The county magistrate's wife said with a smile.

"Since the county magistrate's wife, you don't dislike poor girls, let's go shopping together."

"Great!" Zheng Ningning exclaimed.

"Madam magistrate, what are you planning to buy?" Li Yao asked when the three of them walked to a street.

"My mother's birthday is a few days away, and my aunt wants to buy a piece of jewelry for my mother." Zheng Ningning replied helpfully.

Li Yao bit her lip, thought for a while and said, "Madam magistrate, the best jewelry store in this county should be 'No.[-] Jewelry', how about we go there and have a look?"

The county magistrate's wife smiled: "I also heard that the jewelry in the 'No. [-] Jewelry' is the most beautiful and best in the entire county. Let's go and have a look."

Li Yao took Zheng Ningning to another street and entered the 'First Jewelry'.
