Pastoral little master

Chapter 172 (February Pink Plus)
What the county magistrate said surprised everyone.

Qiduo frowned slightly.

She thought about it carefully, Wang Honglei should have told the magistrate Gu these words.

It should be half true. Tan Deyin really bought a house in the county, which is the big house on Chendun Road.

And Wang Honglei should have bought the house himself. According to the characters of Tan Deyin and his wife and the actual situation of the family, they would not buy a house for their married daughter. There are three sons and two daughters in the family.

The reason why Wang Honglei told Gu County Magistrate that Tan Deyin bought the place where he lives now is because he was afraid that Gu County Magistrate would know that he was taking advantage of it outside.
Even Shen Huairen was surprised.

He knew that the Tan family hadn't separated yet, and that Tan Deyin bought a house in the county without telling Mr. Tan, which was unfilial!
Of course, Tan Dejin was the most surprised. He never believed that Tan Deyin would buy a house in the county town, and even bought two houses.

He thought that Tan Deyin's private money must have been hidden, but there would never be so much.

But now that these words came from the mouth of the county magistrate, he had to believe them again.

"Master Gu, it's unlikely. How can fortune telling tell you a lot of money?" Tan Dejin said with a forced smile.

In fact, this is also the question Qiduo has been thinking about.

She very much suspected that besides fortune-telling and Fengshui practice, Tan Deyin's income may have other invisible income, which was unknown to the Tan family.

Just like the case of going back to the Lin family last time, no one thought that the husband and wife were greedy for those betrothal gifts, even Mrs. Zhao didn't know about it.

Tan Deyin is a fortune teller, and everyone trusts him, so is it possible for him to use this trust of others to do other illegal activities?
Qiduo suddenly came up with this idea.

When the thought came together, she herself was taken aback.

If Tan Deyin really used his status as a fortune teller to do those illegal things, if he was exposed in the end, it would be a big crime to lose his head.

This kind of possibility is not impossible, like in the previous life, there were many masters who used magic calculations and the like to use the psychology of some people's special beliefs to cheat money and sex.

Qiduo hoped that she was thinking too much, and hoped that Tan Deyin would not be so courageous, otherwise, the whole family would be implicated.

The Gu county magistrate dismissed Tan Dejin's words, and waved his hands in disapproval, "You are totally wrong, there are a lot of rich people in the county, and they are willing to spend any amount of money to change Fengshui and change their fate. ah.

Also, this thing is very spiritual, like the mother of shopkeeper Hu from the steamed stuffed bun shop on the East Street a few days ago went back to the countryside, and when she came back, she suddenly felt restless, couldn't eat well, couldn't sleep, always felt that there was something unclean in the house, please Even the doctor can't see it well.

Later, shopkeeper Hu took his mother to see Mr. Tan, and Mr. Tan drew a Taoist talisman for Mrs. Hu to drink, and then asked shopkeeper Hu to buy some paper money, which was burned at the intersection of the county town at midnight.As a result, on the second day, the old woman recovered from her illness. She was able to eat, drink and sleep, as if everything had happened before. It was really a miracle. "

The ancient county magistrate spoke miraculously, with a mysterious expression on his face.
Shen Huairen nodded, agreeing with what the county magistrate said.

Not to mention ordinary people, even the aloof master believes in these things.

It should be obsession!
Alas, it is really worrying to have such an emperor in charge!
Shen Huairen sighed in his heart.

Qiduo was noncommittal. For this kind of thing, if you believe it, you will succeed. If you don't believe it, you won't have it. She takes a neutral attitude and does not judge whether these people are right or wrong.

She only expressed interest in Tan Deyin's current situation. According to what the county magistrate said, Tan Deyin has now become a well-known figure in the county.

I really didn't see that not only was his injury not a bad thing, but it was a blessing in disguise and made a lot of money.

Although Qiduo hated Tan Deyin very much, she admired his ability to make money even in adversity.

Shen Huairen didn't want to hear the magistrate Gu continue to advocate such things, so he changed the topic.

After the meal, Shen Huairen rushed to pay the money, and refused to take it back no matter what, saying that there was nothing wrong with him inviting everyone to a meal.

But Tan Dejin privately told Qiduo and Liuju not to tell Mr. Tan about Tan Deyin's purchase of the house. There is nothing finalized yet, and it would be bad if they make a mistake when the time comes.

Qiduo nodded in agreement.

But he was thinking in his heart, it's best for Tan Deyin to be honest in the future and stop playing such messy thoughts, otherwise, this matter will definitely be revealed to him and he will be punished.

Just going to Luhuapo, Shen Huairen told Qiduo to take a detour and take Mr. Huang to the lotus pond to see the lotus root, so as to close the deal first.

Of course Qiduo agrees, it's exactly what she wants.

Qiduo, father and daughter, and Shen Huairen rode in a carriage together, and the magistrate Gu took his master and four yamen servants in a carriage, first went to Nuerqiao Town to pick up Master Huang, and then went to Luhuapo.

Mr. Huang is slightly shorter than Shen Huairen, with a stronger physique, white face and black beard, piercing eyes, and looks very majestic.

When we arrived at Luhuapo, everyone got out of the carriage.

Looking at the desolation everywhere, Shen Huairen and Master Huang shook their heads and sighed at the same time, calling out what a pity.

"Brother, you have done a great thing by buying this mountain forest. I hope you can make good use of this great resource and turn this desolate land into a prosperous place. I hope that when I come back in a few years, What I saw was a scene of fruitful harvests." Master Huang said to Tan Dejin very solemnly.

Like Shen Huairen, he is a good official who truly cares about the country and the people.

"My lord, don't worry, the grass people will live up to your expectations." Tan Dejin was flattered.

Usually speaking with Shen Huairen, he stutters a bit, not to mention that he is still a high-ranking official now, he is even more in awe.

Shen Huairen smiled and said to Mr. Huang, "Brother Huang, Big Brother Tan bought more than 500 mu of barren hills all at once. Shouldn't there be some kind of incentives and support? Big Brother Tan's family is not easy. The money is still borrowed from others. "

Now that Ding You is not in office, there are some things and things that are hard to say.
Therefore, I didn't say much about the ancient county magistrate before.

He called Mr. Huang to come here together, to see that the lotus root is a problem, and also hoped to get more benefits for Qiduo's family.

Mr. Huang nodded immediately, "The imperial court is very supportive of this reclamation of barren mountains. What's more, my brother took the initiative to buy this forest. In addition to exempting from taxes for five years, he will reward two cattle and one horse as livestock and farm tools for reclamation. Three sets."

Then look at the county magistrate Gu, "You should finish this matter quickly, and hand over these things to Old Brother Tan's family tomorrow at the latest. It's the season of spring plowing right now, so don't delay the planting."

"Yes, Mr. Huang, I will do it immediately after I get back." The Gu county magistrate responded bitterly.

"By the way, you must choose the best ones for cows and horses. If there is any difference, you can figure it out." Master Huang ordered with a serious face.

The ancient county magistrate dared not dare.

Having got two cows and a horse, Qiduo and Tan Dejin were overjoyed, and they were about to buy a horse. Now it's all right, saving dozens of taels of silver.

"Thank you, Master Huang." Without Shen Huairen's instructions, Tan Dejin took Qiduo and Liuju and saluted to thank Master Huang.

Master Huang gave a little help, and hurriedly said, "You don't need to be so polite, by the way, if you have any difficulties, please tell me."

When Tan Dejin looked at Qiduo, there were many difficulties, and he didn't know which one was better.

Qiduo rolled her eyes slightly, and replied with a smile, "Master Huang, we will find a way to overcome other difficulties by ourselves, and we dare not bother you anymore. I just hope that after the crops are planted in the future, if there are difficulties in sales, we will return to you." Please Master Huang and Master Gu help a lot, hehe."

It is not difficult to grow things, but it is not necessarily easy to sell all these things.

If the government has the backing to help introduce some merchants, or the government comes to purchase by itself, then naturally there is no need to worry about sales.

Shen Huairen looked at Qi Duo with two points of admiration in his eyes, well, the little girl has a quick brain and is smart!
Madam's vision is indeed correct, ha ha!

The line of his straight mouth rose.

Master Huang also pointed at Qiduo and smiled, "My boy, you are in such a difficult situation that if I don't agree, it won't work. Hehe, yes, don't worry, as long as you can turn these 500 mu of barren hills into fertile fields, the fruits you will grow in the future If it can’t be sold, I will definitely help you with all my strength.”

"Hey, Mr. Huang, you are busy, will you forget about this?" Qi Duo asked innocently, taking advantage of her young age.

"You kid, don't you believe me? My words are full of promises. Besides, if I forget, boy, if you don't look for me, your Uncle Shen won't forgive me, hehe " Master Huang replied with a smile.
"Thank you, Master Huang, for your kind words." Qi Duo and Tan Dejin paid homage to Master Huang again.

Qi Duo's confidence is bursting again, that's great, with Mr. Huang's words, you can go to him if you have any difficulties in the future.

"By the way, how old is this kid, and you are so smart, why don't you go to study to get fame?" Mr. Huang liked Qiduo very much, so he couldn't help but get up.

Qiduo looked at Shen Huairen and smiled.

Shen Huairen pulled Master Huang's arm and smiled, "Brother Huang, you must have misjudged this time. This is not a boy, this is a girl. She wants to study, but she can't get a degree."

"Ah, what, it's a girl." Master Huang looked at Qiduo with surprised eyes, and then he couldn't help laughing, "You naughty girl, you have deceived the old man."

"Master Huang, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, hehe." Qi Duo apologized with a smile.

"It's all right." Mr. Huang said, waving his sleeves, and then said to Shen Huairen, "I never thought that a girl in her teens would have such courage and insight. She really has gained insight."

"Seventh girl still has a lot of abilities, this is the tip of the iceberg." Shen Huairen boasted without hesitation.

He really loves the house, he sees that his wife and three sons like Qiduo, and treats her like a family member. Unknowingly, he also regards Qiduo as his daughter, and the tone of his speech becomes very intimate inadvertently.

And when he praised Qiduo, he showed a proud and proud expression on his face.

It's just that he doesn't know it himself.

Next, County Magistrate Gu and Tan Dejin went to measure the area. Tan Debao and Tang Hu stopped digging and followed behind to help.

And Qiduo took Shen Huairen and Master Huang to the lotus pond to see the lotus root.
