Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Chapter 396

The magistrate's wife was not convinced by her husband's stern preaching, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she reluctantly agreed in a low voice, and she had to mutter in her heart.

This morning, the county magistrate got a report from the master, saying that Mrs. Ding went to the girl Lian in Dafang Village to look at the quilts and cotton. Before finishing the drink, I hurriedly ordered the sedan to go!

Just arrived at this moment.

Lian Fangzhou and Mrs. Ding came up to greet him. How could the county magistrate dare to ask Mr. Ding in front of Mrs. Ding? Respectfully, come forward and greet you, and even Lian Fangzhou and others have been dipped in the light - don't be careful to wait and speak in front of the county magistrate!

In front of Mrs. Ding, the county magistrate smiled amiably, and when he spoke to others, he was kind, and he couldn't pick out the slightest mistake in this approach to the people!

After seeing each other saluting, the group went back to the cotton field to look at the cotton.

Seeing this cotton field that is almost endless, there are several plump bolls on each cotton plant, most of which are not yet ripe, and the few that are ripe are snow-white and snow-white.

The county magistrate swallowed subconsciously and said to himself: If this was made of quilts and sold, how much money would it be worth...

He couldn't help but secretly regretted it in his heart: If I had known this earlier, I would have bought some fields to grow this stuff, sir...

The county magistrate stayed for more than two quarters of an hour, and Mrs. Ding proposed to leave for the return journey.

Lian Fangzhou hurriedly smiled and said that he simply prepared wine and food, and asked Mrs. Ding to admire his face.

The county magistrate intended to use the banquet before leaving, but Mrs. Ding insisted on refusing, and the county magistrate was not good to stay, so he also smiled and said a few generous words, and returned to the city with Mrs. Ding.

Lian Fangzhou had expected that Mrs. Ding would not stay for dinner, so he just insisted a few words, and respectfully sent them away.

When the county magistrate arrived, Lian Fangzhou quietly ordered Qin Feng to hurry back to prepare a red envelope for each of the county magistrate's entourage.

Qin Feng counted the number of people and went quickly.

Mrs. Ding only brought three masters and servants, but the county magistrate brought a total of twenty people!

After sending them away, Lian Fangzhou and Su Ziji, who were working, went back and went back.

Since they didn't eat the feast, Lian Fangzhou took two dishes home to eat, and let Mrs. Zhang add dishes to the workers for dinner. If the number was not enough, he went to Xiaohuaguo Mountain to catch two chickens and killed them.

Lian Fangzhou had just returned home when Lian Hai hurried in from outside.

Although he tried very hard to make himself look calm and his steps were not rushed, the expression and the impatience in his eyes said everything.

"Fangzhou! I heard that Mrs. Ding and the county magistrate came to see cotton in your cotton field? Is it true!" Lian Hai asked quickly when he saw Lian Fangzhou.

Lian Fangzhou instantly understood what he meant.

How could Mrs. Ding and Mr. County be able to make friends easily? Especially Mrs. Ding, if a senior is fortunate enough to say a few words to him and get a few words of praise from him, his worth and reputation will immediately change!

If you are good at using it, the future will be much smoother.

No wonder the cousin, who has always been very stable, has lost his temper this time!

Before Lian Fangzhou could answer Lian Hai, he saw Lian Li and Qiao's couple coming in as well. Her brows furrowed slightly subconsciously.

Thanks to my cousin staring at me for a while, my uncle and aunt have stopped a lot, and they never came to her house to ask for trouble. Today, they came here again, I'm afraid they will have trouble again!

Lian Fangzhou only glanced at them, then nodded to Lian Hai and said with a smile, "Yes, Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Xian have come to visit for a while, and have already left!"

Even if Lian Hai didn't make it clear, she just pretended to be confused.

"Let's go!" Lian Hai sighed softly, all regretful and disappointed.

"What are they doing here? Isn't it just to see cotton? You are not the only one who grows this cotton in Yuhe County! Where can you see it, why do you have to come here to see it!" Qiao asked immediately.

The tone was both sour and indignant. It was as if Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Xian came to Lian Fangzhou to see cotton, which was very unfair and inappropriate for Mrs. Qiao.

Lian Fangzhou was both funny and angry, so he didn't bother to pay attention to Mrs. Qiao's greasy and sour tone, and said to Lian Hai with a smile: "That's what happened, I sent them to Mrs. County and Mrs. Ding's house yesterday. A quilt made of cotton, maybe that's what they came for!"

Then he smiled and said, "Actually, I don't know much about this. My cousin and cousin-in-law came to tell me that day!"

Anyway, with her two quilts being offered, it is no secret that I believe that the quilt thing will soon spread throughout Yuhe County or even wider.

"What quilt? You, Mrs. County and Mrs. Ding have seen you?" Lian Hai asked in disbelief, the more he heard it, the more confused he became.

A person like Mrs. Ding, which scholar doesn't want to visit him? But he is nowhere to be seen!

He just met a little girl like Lian Fangzhou? That quilt has such a great deterrent effect?

Lian Fangzhou knew that he would not be able to send them away unless he made it clear, so he smiled and explained everything one by one.

After hearing a few words, Lian Li's expression changed a bit, he stood up abruptly after listening, and scolded Lian Fangzhou with a sullen face, "Why didn't you say such a big thing earlier!"

Qiao Shi also stared, and angrily opened his mouth to speak—

Lian Fangzhou's expression changed, and he shouted coldly: "What does Uncle mean! This is my business, I can make the decision myself! No, it's not entirely my business, my cousin and cousin-in-law are in front of me. You've seen it with your own eyes for a few days, haven't you!"

"you--"

Lian Li choked for a moment, and wanted to teach Lian Fangzhou a lesson, Lian Hai called out "Father!" with a sullen face to stop him.

Lian Li looked at his son, and reluctantly shut his mouth, but the expression on his face could be considered desperate.

"Fangzhou," Lian Hai sighed lightly, "Don't get me wrong, you were a bit rash yesterday. Wouldn't it be better to discuss such a big matter? Wouldn't it be more convenient for me to accompany you? Fortunately, you were lucky yesterday. Well, otherwise, what if I encounter a bad guy in the middle or something! Moreover, if this matter can make me and Mrs. Ding climb up a relationship, it will be very beneficial for both the exam and the future career. Yes! Fangzhou, I'm in the early stage, it's naturally good for you too!"

Although Lian Fangzhou has long understood that Lian Hai is this kind of person, no matter what he does, he always thinks about "is there any benefit", but at this time, listening to him say this, he still feels awkward.
