The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 343 A day in the government office (2)
Min Lansheng looked up at her, nodded to express his gratitude, then lowered his head and moved his eyes to the tip of his pen: "It's common for young people to talk freely. I think the lady told Brother Gao, that's it. No matter if he doesn't care It doesn't matter whether you are instructed by others, it doesn't matter, it's a small matter..."

What Xiucai said was calm, as if the matter at the noodle shop was not worth mentioning at all, which made Su Xiazhi slightly relieved.

Putting down the ink stick, she poked her head and looked outside, thinking she had to go out and buy some simple furniture for the backyard.

"Gao Yue." Min Lansheng called out without raising her head.

"Here!" He heard Gao Yue's answer from a long distance away, and soon saw him jogging into the lobby: "My lord, is sister-in-law here?"

"Go, go out with my wife, the most important thing is to take care of her." Min Lansheng said portablely: "Ask another team leader to work as an errand in the porter."

"Yes." Gao Yue bowed his hands and ran to call for someone first.

Su Xiazhi turned her head and looked at him with a smile.

"My lady, don't be curious, you and I already have a good understanding, you know that you are going to go out when you look at the sky..."

"Hehe!" Su Xiazhi pursed her lips and smiled: "Since you have seen it all, then I'll go out first."

"Hold it." Min Lansheng reached out and took out a paper umbrella from under the case, and handed it to her: "It's hot, so put it on, don't get heatstroke."

"Huh? Why are you hiding something under this table? Let me see what else is there!"

After taking the paper umbrella, Su Xiazhi curiously walked over to Maoyao and was about to lift the curtain hanging by the side of the koan.

"No more! No more!" Min Lansheng's pretty face turned red, he quickly put down the brush in his hand, and grabbed the lady's little hand with both hands.

Reluctantly, she took a step too late, Su Xiazhi had already lifted the dark curtain and poked her head in to take a look, and saw her husband's two white and delicate feet stepping bare on the heavy official boots!

"Hot!" With a blushing face, he pulled up the lady who was staring and admiring his feet, and said coyly, "The weather is too hot, and the boots are so thick..."

"Haha!" Su Xiazhi stood up straight with his hand, smiled and nodded his forehead: "I said, why are you so honest, sitting here motionless, it turns out that you didn't even wear your clothes Woolen cloth!"

"What would you do if someone suddenly came to sue you?"

"It takes time to walk from the gate of the county government office to the lobby. As a husband, you just need to put on your official boots..."

"Uh..." Su Xiazhi shook her head and went out the door.

Who would have thought that Tanhualang, who is graceful, gentle and refined, even eats a bowl of noodles, wears boots with bare feet every day?

Seeing the lady come out of the hall with a blushing face, Min Lansheng picked up the pen again, and his two feet also quietly moved from the official boots to the ground. The soles of the feet were chilled, and he felt that the heat on his face had gone a lot.

Picking up a pen to write a few words, recalling what the lady said just now in his head, he said to himself: "Is the person who instigated him Teacher or An Jing?"

After going out for a trip, Su Xiazhi went to several shops and bought a few pieces of necessary furniture, and asked the shopkeeper to deliver them to the place.

The shopkeeper of the furniture shop thought she had misheard when she heard the place she reported.

"Ma'am, is it the alley next to the county government office?"

"Just send it to the county government office and ask the guy to deliver it to the back door." After negotiating the price, Su Xiazhi only paid a small amount of fixed money, and the rest would only be paid when the things were delivered to her.

The shopkeeper took the silver and said in surprise: "Madam, could it be..."

"Just send it." Su Xiazhi nodded with a smile, and walked out of the shop.

"Is my sister-in-law going to move here?" Gao Yue followed behind her, seeing that she was still looking around in other shops, he couldn't help asking.

"No." Su Xiazhi walked towards a grocery store: "Your Xiucai brother will eat at the noodle shop today, and tomorrow he will become everyone's conversation topic after dinner. It will be inconvenient for him to come out for a meal in the future. I want to put the backyard The kitchen has also been tidied up, if the county government’s food is not good in the future, you can go to Shilinchun or the noodle shop to get some food and eat it hot.”

"The county yamen's meals are made by those teams in turn. Every day, they cook the same as pig food. The food is cooked together, which is really unpalatable!" Arrange the meals of the county government.

Su Xiazhi heard that there was no interface.

She can only take care of her husband's stomach. As for how well the people in the county government eat, that's his husband's concern. She can't stretch her hands out...

After walking around for a while, counting the necessary things to buy, Su Xiazhi and Gao Yue went back to the county office.

This time she went directly to the backyard and asked the furniture delivery guy to help move the bed, desk and wardrobe into the house, and then she settled all the remaining money, and took [-] Wen as a reward for the delivery. The two guys of the goods.

The man only took the silver from the sale of furniture, and said he didn't dare to take any reward from the magistrate's wife. The two of them only said that it was the shopkeeper's order: if the lady thinks these things are not satisfactory, the silver can also be withheld.

No money?Su Xiazhi shook her head, didn't that become someone else's property for nothing?
This is the first time I have experienced the "benefits" of being an official. No wonder there is such a phrase in the mantra of corrupt officials throughout the ages: To be an official from a thousand miles away is to earn food and clothing...

"My scholar is not such a dog official!" Su Xiazhi said softly to the front lobby.

After a busy afternoon, when Xiucai arranged the business for the day and walked slowly to the back hall, Su Xiazhi was washing pots in the kitchen.

Gao Yue squatted in the yard chopping firewood profusely in sweat.

"Miss, you've worked hard!" Min Lansheng said hastily as soon as she entered the kitchen.

Gao Yue outside immediately rolled his eyes: How did my mother say that my father came here, he has a broken teapot and a good mouth... he can coax his sister-in-law to work...

"Off work?" Su Xiazhi said casually.

"Get off work?" Min Lansheng was not surprised by the occasional words that the lady couldn't understand, he just didn't want others to hear them.

"It's just..." Su Xiazhi straightened up in a daze, she didn't know how to explain the ancient word.
