playful peasant girl

Chapter 53
"Where's your shopkeeper?" The person Li San'er sent to deliver the invitations arrogantly asked the shop assistant.

Seeing that the other party was wearing the clothes of a yamen servant, the guy didn't dare to neglect, and hurried to the back of the shop to call out shopkeeper Zhou.

"My lord, are you looking for something small?" Shopkeeper Zhou was frightened, showing all the lowliness of a small businessman.

"This is an invitation from the county magistrate. I really don't know where you got your face from." And jealous.

"Yes, yes, the villain must be there on time." Shopkeeper Zhou took the invitation with both hands, and gave the yamen servant a purse, "Master, you have worked hard, and a small gesture is not a respect."

The yamen servant took the purse, his face softened a bit, and he turned and left.

Shopkeeper Zhou took the invitation card and walked into the house. Sure enough, as Dong Feng said, the county magistrate will invite him over, and all he has to do is to cooperate with the county magistrate to perform a good show.

The time written on the county magistrate's invitation is tomorrow night, so he has to prepare the gifts today.

As a silk merchant, sending silk is the most suitable for him.Shopkeeper Zhou picked a dozen high-quality silks and satins from the warehouse of the shop as gifts.

Baisha Town is not very far from Qingshui County. The carriage that shopkeeper Zhou took in the morning arrived almost at noon, and he found an inn as a place to rest, waiting for the main event of the evening.

Giving gifts in the afternoon is not allowed, and it is unlucky to give gifts in the morning and afternoon, so shopkeeper Zhou had already delivered the gifts to County Magistrate Li's mansion as soon as he arrived in the morning.

In the evening of genius, shopkeeper Zhou came to visit him.

When he was brought in by his subordinates, it seemed that Feng Yang had already arrived, and was talking with County Magistrate Li, and seemed to be having a good time.

"Thanks to the care of the county magistrate, the villain is very grateful." As soon as he entered the flower hall, shopkeeper Zhou hurriedly saluted Li County magistrate.

"Sit down, come and serve tea", County Magistrate Li finished speaking leisurely, and continued to communicate with Feng Yang.

"Oh, I don't know how much the Baiweiju can make a year when it is opened? Can you budget for the air management?" County Magistrate Li asked interestedly. Shopkeeper Zhou guessed that he should be continuing the topic before he came.

"With your care, my lord, it must be a lot of money, the more the better," Feng Yang laughed.

"Well said, well said", County Magistrate Li was obviously satisfied with Feng Yang's words.

"My lord is in the prime of life, why don't the grassroots bring you two beautiful relatives from the state capital next time, so that you can add more fragrance to your red sleeves," Feng Yang said in a low voice.

"Feng Guan is really sensible", County Magistrate Li was very pleased with Feng Yang's "caring", and his satisfaction went to a higher level.

Shopkeeper Zhou has almost become an invisible person since he came in, and he interjected, "I don't know if the master asked the villain to come over, but what is the important order?"

Only then did County Magistrate Li formally look up at shopkeeper Zhou, who was extremely disturbed.

"I heard that you don't want to sell your silk shop to Baiweiju?"

When Shopkeeper Zhou heard the county magistrate Li talking about this matter, he quickly knelt down and asked him to make the decision, "My lord, it's not that villains don't want to sell, it's that the money they give is too little, villains can't sell it, why don't you sell it?" Please be the master of the villain!"

"Shopkeeper Zhou, what I heard is different from what you said, but since you have asked me to make the decision, then I will be the middleman, and you can let the shop out at the price paid by Baiweiju. In Qingshui County, I will take good care of you."
