Chapter 10

The county magistrate is recruiting, how dare you not go?Gui Qingqing planned to split things up and sell purses by herself, while Li Song went to the county government office without delay, but Li Song was worried and couldn't say anything.Gui Qingqing couldn't resist, so the two followed the yamen servant to the gate of the county yamen.

Gui Qingqing said: "Da Lang, I won't go in, I'll wait for you here."

Li Song hesitated for a moment, thinking that the county government office was full of men, and it would be inconvenient for Gui Qingqing to go in, so he might as well let her wait here, so he nodded, the entrance of the county government office was no less safe than other places, so he was more at ease.

Gui Qingqing stood for a while, and felt embarrassed when she saw people coming and going looking at her. Seeing a big willow tree next to her, she hid behind the tree. Gui Qingqing was still a little worried. He is a bit stubborn, and he won't be reconciled if things can't be done. If he knows that she has such an important weaving and dyeing recipe in her hand, he will definitely do everything possible. I don't know what he will do when the time comes. Gui Qingqing was full of worries about this matter, but she couldn't tell anyone...

She waited under the big tree for half an hour, seeing the sunset, Li Song just came out of the county office, he didn't see Gui Qingqing as soon as he went out the gate of the county office, he immediately became anxious, and hurriedly shouted: "Qingqing!"

Gui Qingqing was staring at the sunset in the sky in a daze, when she heard Li Song call her and said hurriedly: "I'm here!"

Seeing that Gui Qingqing was fine, Li Song heaved a sigh of relief, and walked up to her in a few steps, "Aren't you in a hurry?"

"It doesn't matter." Gui Qingqing asked, "What is Master Ma looking for from you?"

"Uh..." Li Song didn't know what to say for a while, "I can't explain this matter in one or two sentences."

"Is it the Song family..."

"No, don't think nonsense, let's talk as we walk, it's getting late." Li Song dragged Gui Qingqing to the gate of the city, explaining the reason of the matter in detail as he walked.

It turned out that there was a case in Qingpu County recently. A scholar surnamed Dong, his wife went back to her natal home a few days ago, but he was lost and could not be found anywhere. Dong Xiucai reported to the county government. Not daring to be negligent, he hurriedly asked his subordinates to inquire, but a few days passed, and there was no news. Then Dong Xiucai went to the county office to inquire every day, but there was no news. He only said that the county magistrate refused to contribute. A group of scholars came to the county government office to help discuss the matter.

Ma County magistrate was afraid that these talents would cause trouble, so he beat up the two yamen servants in a rage, but after the beating, he remembered that no one was leading the investigation. When he was troubled, he suddenly remembered that Qin Yanshan had said that Li Bold and careful, talent is rare, so he sent someone to find Li Song and asked him if he would like to work in the county government.

Gui Qingqing was a little surprised, "Master Ma wants you to be a government servant? What do you think?" She didn't remember Li Song doing this in her previous life.

Before Li Song could answer, he heard the sound of hoofbeats coming from in front of him. When he saw the person on the horse, he couldn't help being startled. That person turned out to be Qin Yanshan.

Qin Yanshan also saw Li Song, he quickly reined in the rein and got off the horse, he laughed and said, "Brother Li, I have been waiting at your house for a long time, but I did not expect to meet you here!"

Li Song was surprised: "You went to my house?"

"That's right! I'm coming back from my aunt's house, of course I'm going to visit my uncle." The two stood on the side of the street and greeted each other. Among the people walking with Qin Yanshan was a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old. Qingqing stood in front of her, staring at her intently. Li Song seemed to have eyes behind his back, and as soon as he reached out his hand, he pulled Gui Qingqing to his side. Said: "Da Lang, she is a woman, don't scare her."

Qin Yanshan laughed loudly, "Sister Lan, how are you doing? Did you see through it at a glance?"

The girl dressed as a boy didn't care, she smiled and asked Gui Qingqing: "Sister, how did you see that?"

Gui Qingqing smiled and said: "I saw your pierced ears, and your skin is very fair and tender, not like a man."

Qin Yanshan introduced: "This is my aunt's cousin, Chen Lan, sister Lan. This is my savior, Brother Li, and that is Mrs. Li."

Chen Lan stepped forward to meet Shi Shi again, and Qin Yanshan said: "I just came back from my aunt's house, and my cousin planned to stay at my house for a while, so I brought her with me. This is not a place to talk, I am at the Longyun Inn in front The room is booked, and the food and drinks there are good, let's have dinner together."

Li Song said: "The gate of the city will be closed at night, why don't we get together tomorrow."

"After the gate of the city is closed, you just stay in the inn for one night. What are you afraid of?" Qin Yanshan couldn't say anything, and turned to the servants around him: "Qin Liuzi, go to Lijia Village to send a letter to the old man, just say Li Songhe My sister-in-law won't be going back tonight!"

Li Song couldn't refute, so he had to agree, and the group went straight to Longyun Inn.

Both Longyun Restaurant and Longyun Inn are run by the same family. The two shops are next to each other. Qin Yanshan went to the restaurant and asked for a private room. She seemed to fall in love with Gui Qingqing at first sight, pulling her to chatter non-stop, Li Song's eyes flicked over from time to time, he saw this woman in men's clothing pulling his wife to talk, and felt very unpleasant.

The food and wine were served quickly. I have to say that the food in Longyun Restaurant is still very good. The dishes served are all exquisite and beautiful, with good color, fragrance and taste. Everyone sits down and eats while talking. Qin Yanshan He asked: "Brother Li, what did you say that Ma County Magistrate was looking for you just now?"

Li Song repeated what he had just said to Gui Qingqing, and Qin Yanshan was a little unhappy, "This county magistrate is really, I asked him to take care of you, but he actually arranged for you to be a yamen servant? What kind of care is this?"

Li Song said with a smile: "That's not the case. Being a yamen servant is only temporary. The county magistrate of Nama hinted at me, saying that the original history of our Qingpu County is old, incompetent..."

Qin Yanshan smiled when he heard the words, "It's about the same. I wonder if Brother Li is interested?"

Gui Qingqing didn't talk to Chen Lan anymore, and only paid attention to what Li Song said, but Li Song smiled and said: "It's rare to have such an opportunity, of course I won't let it go, and thank you Brother Qin."

Qin Yanshan smiled and said, "When you saved me, you didn't think of me thanking you."

Gui Qingqing, who was at the side, was completely stunned. She clearly remembered that Li Song in the previous life did not go to the county government to do anything, let alone do any history!Although Dian Shi is not in the ranks, he is not considered to be in the mainstream, but he is in charge of arrests and prisons under the county magistrate, and he has a lot of power.

Qin Yanshan smiled and said: "I know that with your ability, you will definitely be able to do it well! Come on, finish this drink!" The two of them exchanged glasses and drank heavily, and it seemed that they had a lot of alcohol.

Chen Lansheng passed a spoonful of shrimp oil tofu to Gui Qingqing, "Sister, try this, it tastes very good!"

Gui Qingqing knew that this was the signature dish of Longyun Restaurant, and of course the taste would not be bad. After she finished eating, seeing Chen Lan still staring at her, she couldn't help laughing and said, "You look at my eyes so strangely, it can't be my face. Do you have any flowers?"

Chen Lan said: "I think you look like my mother. If you say that you are a mother and daughter, I will believe it, but my own daughter doesn't look like my mother..."

Gui Qingqing thought to herself, "Is your mother... surnamed Qin?"

"Of course! My mother is my cousin's aunt, of course her surname is Qin..."

Gui Qingqing smiled and said: "What a coincidence, my mother's surname is also Qin, and my girlfriend's name is Wanniang."

Qin Yanshan quickly put down the wine glass in his hand, interjected: "You said your mother is Qin Wanniang? Where is her hometown? How old is she? Can I meet her?"

Gui Qingqing was a little excited, but her expression didn't show. She shook her head and said, "You can't see my mother, she has passed away. As for where her hometown is, my mother never said. If my mother is alive, this year She is also 40 years old, and it is her birthday on the Dragon Boat Festival."

Chen Lan opened her mouth to speak, but Qin Yanshan gave her a wink and refused to let her speak. Gui Qingqing just pretended not to see it, so she didn't mention it again.

The host and guests had a good dinner, Chen Lan heard Xiao Er said that there is a night market in this street at night, and immediately clamored to go to see it, and several of them didn't want to go to bed so early, so they didn't object.

When I came out of the restaurant, it was already dark outside, but the lights of the shops and the lanterns of the roadside vendors illuminated the whole street brightly. When I went downstairs, Li Song deliberately took a step behind and asked Gui Qingqing softly: " What's going on? Could it be that the mother-in-law and the Qin family..."

Gui Qingqing pursed her lips, "I don't know anything about my mother's past, whether it is or not, don't mention it again." Although she really hoped to get support from her grandparents, she believed that relying on others is worse than relying on herself .

Li Song didn't say a word. When he left the restaurant, he saw people coming and going on the street. He grabbed Gui Qingqing's hand naturally, and explained: "There are many people in the night market, so don't let them disperse you."

Gui Qingqing felt that his hands were hot, maybe it was because he drank alcohol, the palms seemed to be very hot, his hands were a little rough, and the palms were covered with calluses, it should be from daily martial arts...

The whole street is bustling and bustling. The night market in the city is actually selling food and supper. Usually, it will always be lively in the middle of the night. Now that the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, more people come out to play. Craftsmen and jugglers also came out, which made Gui Qingqing dazzled.

Chen Lan probably had never visited such a night market before, she seemed very excited, looked around, asked a question from time to time, but she didn't buy anything, the night market was full of cheap and low-quality things, of course she didn't like it.

The group got tired of playing, and checked that it was not early, and then returned to Longyun Inn. Gui Qingqing looked at the room that Qin Yanshan had booked for them and his wife, and couldn't help being dumbfounded. Could it be that he was going to sleep with Li Song tonight?
