Mr. Jinyi's eyes were deep and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. He was not much surprised by Aunt Xu's words, but when he looked at Bai Yi, there was a bit of pity on his face.
Xiao Bai, who had been nestling in Bai Yi's arms, seemed to feel that someone had been staring at his owner, so he leaned out and stared at the young man in brocade with his small eyes widened, looking at you again, you look at me again. A ferocious expression that will eat you up.
By the time they arrived at the Nantai Mansion Yamen, it was already evening. While it was still dark, Mr. Jinyi hurriedly led them into the Yamen to write down the notes and sign them.
Taking advantage of the gap between Aunt Xu and the poisoned young man taking notes, Mr. Jinyi came to Bai Yi, cupped his hands and said: "Miss Bai, I am the magistrate of Nantai County, Chen Mingjie, I am eighteen years old, and I am unmarried."
Chen Mingjie? This name sounded familiar to her. Ever since they met, this man had always looked at her with something wrong. At first, she thought he was like an ordinary man who would not look away from a beautiful girl when he saw one. When I heard his name, I wondered if they had met him before
"County Magistrate Chen, have you and I met before?"
Chen Mingjie was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Never!" He met her before that person, but was given the opportunity by that person. Now that he is successful and famous, although he is not as noble as that person, he can still provide her with food and clothing. After a life of worry, since she has forgotten the past, there is no need to remember it again.
She was slightly disappointed, she just nodded lightly, turned around and was about to leave, but Chen Mingjie said again: "Miss Bai, the governor of the government office reported that he was ill and returned home the day before. The post of widower is temporarily vacant. I wonder if Miss Bai is interested in taking over this position temporarily? "
Zuo means dealing with dead bodies all day long, and she really has no such interest.
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Chen. Bai Yi is not good at this and is not qualified. I hope Mr. Chen can forgive me."
Chen Mingjie had no hope at all, and when he saw her rejection, he was not surprised. He added: "Girl, there is no need to rush to reply to me. You can think carefully before replying to me."
Bai Yi nodded, said nothing more, and left the government office with Aunt Xu who had just finished writing the notes. They got into the carriage prepared by Mr. Chen for them and returned to the fishing village together.
On the way back, Daniel couldn't help himself and asked Bai Yi: "Sister, what did Mr. Chen just say to you?" He looked really outside, the two looked at each other and said something. , it is definitely not an ordinary question.
Bai Yi shook his head: "Nothing!"
Aunt Xu smiled mysteriously and said, "You said it was nothing, but I heard it really!"
Bai Yi closed his eyes and rested his head.
But Daniel asked Aunt Xu: "Auntie, what did County Magistrate Chen say?"
Aunt Xu smiled and said: "Then County Magistrate Chen first announced his name, saying that his name was Chen Mingjie, and also claimed that he was eighteen years old and was unmarried. What do you think this means?"
Daniel frowned: "What, what do you mean?"
Aunt Xu rolled her eyes at Daniel: "Don't pretend to be dumbfounded, do you not know what this means?"
Da Niu looked at Bai Yi with his eyes. There was a carriage hanging in the carriage, the lights were swaying, the light inside the carriage flickered on and off, her beautiful face was quiet and beautiful.
I heard Aunt Xu say again: "County Magistrate Chen also said that the widower in the government office has returned to his hometown and the position is temporarily vacant. I asked Miss Bai if she is willing to accept the position."
Daniel's heart skipped a beat and he quickly asked, "Then, what did the girl say?"
Aunt Xu glanced sideways at Bai Yi, who closed her eyes and said nothing, and said with a smile: "Your sister said she didn't want to! Are you at ease now?"
