Sweet and warm little peasant woman

Chapter 172 Pull her as a shield
The sheriff's wife has vicious eyes:

Xiao Junyi, the only son of the richest man in the capital, Xiao Junyi, his uncle works in the official department, and his uncle is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. Although there are no important celebrities in the family in front of the royal family, he can still say a word or two.

If other people in this yard interceded for that Tong Xiaowu, she would not take it seriously. Even if the Lin family, the richest man in Nanzhou, spoke, she would not care. This time is a gift account of thousands of taels, and the capital has a foundation, if she doesn't give him face, I'm afraid...

It seems that Tong Xiaowu really has some contacts. She just came to the county, so let's take a look. Once she offends someone who shouldn't be offended, it will be hard to deal with it. Besides, this year is a critical year for the promotion of the county guard, so she still needs to be careful. as well.

"So it's Mr. Xiao, haha, since it's a misunderstanding, Miss Tong can sit in the outer courtyard!" In the blink of an eye, the magistrate's wife laughed.

Tong Xiaowu outside the door turned around and glanced at Xiao Junyi, but he came out from the inner courtyard: "Let's go, I'll have dinner with you in the outer courtyard..."

As he said that, he glanced at the woman beside him, at this moment Tong Xiaowu realized that he was bringing his female companion to attend the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Party, the woman understood what he meant, stepped forward and grabbed Tong Xiaowu's sleeve "Miss Tong, let's sit in the outer courtyard..."

Mrs. Tang also came out, stepped forward and whispered, "Don't cause trouble, go!"

Helpless, Tong Xiaowu who wanted to leave was finally dragged to the outer court by Xiao Junyi and others.

It’s still some time before lunch, and many people are gathering in the yard or in twos and twos, chatting and chatting, playing chess and chess, some are reciting poems and painting, and some are walking around in the yard, admiring landscape.

Tong Xiaowu turned around and looked at Xiao Junyi: "I want you to mind your own business, if it wasn't for you, I would have left here now."

"I always feel that you are not a person who can't hold your breath. How could you treat Mrs. Pang so blatantly? Do you... know something?"

Xiao Junyi scratched his chin, stared at Tong Xiaowu inquisitively with deep eyes, and lowered his voice.

"What can I know? By the way, you obviously brought a female companion, why did you use me as a shield?" Thinking of this incident because of him, Tong Xiaowu became angry. She didn't want to cause trouble at first, but Because of him, if he didn't bark, how could this happen.

"The people I bring can't be used indiscriminately. Besides, I don't know that woman would be like that. She's a shrew."

"It's not me who speaks for her. Any woman will be angry if she is bumped into by someone, let alone me."

Tong Xiaowu couldn't help laughing when she thought of the way Feng Ruolian confessed to Xiao Junyi with affection, and how she rushed up to hit her as if she was knocked out of her mind but was thrown aside by her.

Suddenly feeling so wretched, she sighed and admitted, "It's my fault too, too gossip, haha..."

After finishing speaking, she actually laughed out loud.

"This sister is so hearty..." The woman brought by Xiao Junyi looked straight at Tong Xiaowu and praised her.

She has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose, thick eyelashes, and fair skin.

"Are you from Xijiang?" Tong Xiaowu looked at the beauty and asked.

"how do you know?"

"Although you are wearing Xuanyuan Kingdom's costume, you can tell by your appearance."

Xiao Junyi stood up and gave Tong Xiaowu a thumbs up: "You know why I used you as a shield this time, right? Luna is from Xijiang and my guest. How can I harm her, do you?" ?Well enough……"

"Xiao Junyi!" Tong Xiaowu didn't understand, why did she offend this young master?Pulling her into the water everywhere, every time I see her, I want to embarrass her, either to snatch her private room, or to screw myself up: "Do you have a grudge against me?"

"Yes, and it's a great hatred." He said, pointing to his forehead.

Tong Xiaowu rolled his eyes at him, "Careful..."

Outside the gazebo, beside the waterside pavilion, Chen Xiang and his daughter Feng Ruolian stood together.

"Mother, tell me, if I marry Xiao Junyi, will all of our family's silk yarn be ordered by the Xiao family in the future? I heard that it is a large order."

Now, there are two major events in the county that are related to the cloth business. One is the order of coarse cloth from the merchants in Xijiang, and the other is the order of silk and silk yarn from the Xiao family in the capital. No matter which one is, it is a piece of fat.

The merchants in Xijiang have already made a decision, leaving only the orders from the Xiao family in the capital. Now all the cloth merchants are trying to get close to him, and she has met him twice.

The first time she was in Zuixianlou, she looked a little embarrassed, and it didn’t matter if she couldn’t remember, but the second time, her father hosted a banquet in person and invited him to dinner, and the meal cost 500 taels. It was specially introduced, how could he not remember it?

Did he mean it?
If, if she can marry Xiao Junyi, how many people will envy her in the future, and this Xiao Junyi is so good-looking, looking at him, she feels that she can do without eating.

"Of course, daughter, don't be discouraged, take your time, this young master of the Xiao family is only 15 years old, don't worry."

Chen Xiang naturally hoped that her daughter would marry Gao Zhi. Although Xiao Junyi spent a lot of money, he had the condition. If his daughter really married to the Xiao family in the capital, their family would be prosperous.

Seeing that the magistrate's wife had to give Xiao Junyi a good look, he knew that their family was not easy.

During lunch, Xiao Junyi and Xijiang Luna were invited to the inner courtyard. Tong Xiaowu was about to leave after taking a quick bite in the outer courtyard, but it was very strange, obviously many people had finished eating, but they just sat in their seats He seemed to be waiting for something.

Everyone didn't understand, and it was not easy for Tong Xiaowu to leave the table early. In the end, she finally knew what everyone was waiting for.

The sheriff's wife came out from the inner courtyard, surrounded by crowds, and the scene was grand.

"Welcome to this Chrysanthemum Appreciation Party and contribute to the Xuanyuan Flood..."

As the words of the magistrate's wife increased, Tong Xiaowu clearly felt that some people at the same table lowered their heads, and some people curled their lips.

Sure enough, after talking for half an hour, the magistrate's wife changed the topic, "My mother-in-law's 59th birthday will be in half a month, I hope everyone will join in the fun..."

It turns out that this is her real purpose. Judging from everyone's expressions, this is her routine every year!

There are things like birthdays announced in person, and gifts have to be given when birthdays are celebrated, and the county guard’s family has been notified if they don’t give them to them. Isn’t it obvious that they are robbing them?

The master withdrew, and the guests left one after another. On the way out, because there were maids and women escorting them, everyone didn't say anything. When they left the county guard's mansion, everyone exploded.

"When is the end of the year..."

"Be patient, I heard that they may leave this year."
