When Liu Zhimo came back and heard about it, he smiled and rubbed her head, telling her not to feel pressured, just take it easy, and leave the other things to him.
Li Qingling will remember the people's kindness to Li Qingling in his heart, and he will work harder for the people.
Li Qingling hummed, looked up at him, and asked where he went
Sitting next to her, Liu Zhimo said that after going to the Yamen, Ying Jie's case took a turn for the better.
"Oh? What's the turning point?"
Liu Zhimo glanced at her, and lightly patted her forehead, telling her not to worry about these things, just live happily every day.
Li Qingling pouted, stopped asking about this matter, and changed the subject without a trace.
When the two were chatting happily, Xichun came over and said that Mrs. Hu is here.
After hearing this, Liu Zhimo stood up. He asked Li Qingling to talk to Hu Juanjuan, and he went to the study.
As soon as he left, Xichun came in with Hu Juanjuan on his back.
Hu Juanjuan looked at Li Qingling apologetically and said, did you disturb her and Liu Zhimo
Li Qingling shook his head and said, no, he went to the study to deal with things.
"I heard that Madam is going to invite the common people to dinner, so I wanted to come over and see if there is anything I can do for you?"
She knew that the county magistrate didn't have any servants, so he probably would be overwhelmed by making so many meals at once.
"Thank you, Mrs. Hu, for your kindness. With the help of the guards, I can handle it." The two chefs are in charge of cooking, and the guards are responsible for other things, so they can handle it.
After hearing this, Hu Juanjuan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she could be busy, she was afraid that if she was too busy, it would delay the people's meal time.
"Ma'am, I heard Miss Nian Xia said that Ah Bai gave birth to a baby?"
Thinking of the little cutie, Li Qingling smiled at the corner of his mouth, nodded briskly and said, the baby born this morning is a very cute little guy.
Hu Juanjuan looked at Li Qingling in surprise and asked, Ah Bai gave birth to a cub
She didn't ask Nian Xia, how many cubs did Ah Bai have? She thought she had several babies!
"It's one." Just such a cub, tormented Ah Bai terribly, it was more painful than the several cubs it gave birth to before.
"That cub is quite good at timing, it happens to be born on the same day as your madam."
It was true, this was a birthday gift from Abai, Li Qingling smiled with the corners of her lips curled up.
The two chatted for a long time, seeing that the time was almost up, they went to the dining room hand in hand.
Li Qingling saw that the yard in front of the dining room was full of tables and stools, she patted her forehead lightly, how could she forget such an important matter
Fortunately, Xichun was thoughtful and made up for what she missed.
Otherwise, when it's time to eat, there is no table or stool to sit and eat, it would be a shame.
Li Qingling saw a satisfied smile in his eyes when he saw Xichun who was busy walking around.
"Madam, Miss Xichun is a capable and good girl." After getting in touch, Hu Juanjuan also liked Xichun, "Madam, is Miss Xichun engaged?" She thought of her natal brother, if she could marry Miss Xichun, she would marry her It's really fragrant.
Turning her head to look at Hu Juanjuan, Li Qingling said directly: "There are a few young men in the family who are interested in Xichun, but they don't know what Xichun thinks?" She knew that Hu Juanjuan wanted to be a matchmaker for Xichun, "I talked to Xichun before After this question, she said that there is no rush, if she really wants to get married, she will take the initiative to tell me, so I will follow her wish."
Thinking of the guards of the county magistrate's family, and comparing them with her younger brother, they are simply incomparable. Hu Juanjuan knows that this matter is dead.
She covered her mouth and smiled and said that she had never seen such a good master as Madam.
The people she has met say that there are not many, and that there are not many. She has never seen a master who is so considerate of his servants like Li Qingling. Point it out to a poor minion.
Xichun and Nianxia, the two maids, were able to meet such a good master as Li Qingling, it was a blessing from their previous lives.
It's no wonder that the two maids are so devoted to Li Qingling, defending her in everything.
Not to mention the two maidservants, isn't even she falling under the charm of Li Qingling's personality
Li Qingling listened, smiled, and said nothing.
After all, she is not a native of this place, and she doesn't have such a deep distinction between master and servant. She usually treats them as employees invited by herself, and treats them equally.
However, those two maids were not very let go. Apart from obeying her words and changing the servant girl to me, no matter what she said, they still refused to change other things.
No choice but to go with them.
However, under her influence, the children in the family also respected Xichun and the others, and would not treat them as servants.
For this, she felt quite relieved.
"Mrs. Hu, is your drinking capacity good?"
"It's okay, ma'am, don't worry, I will help you block it." As soon as Li Qingling opened his mouth, Hu Juanjuan understood Li Qingling's meaning.
Li Qingling thanked Hu Juanjuan gratefully.
Hu Juanjuan said that Li Qingling was too polite, this is what she should do.
Not to mention that her husband is the lord's subordinate, but just to mention her friendship with Li Qingling, she will also help Li Qingling stop drinking.
When it was time for Shen, the people came one after another. After they entered the yard, they didn't dare to look around and sat on the stools cautiously.
I was both apprehensive and excited. I didn't expect that they would have dinner at the magistrate's house one day.
What an honor to say this!
The men and women sat separately, separated by a screen. On the male side, Liu Zhimo and Mr. Luo went to entertain, and on the female side, Li Qingling and Hu Juanjuan entertained.
"Ma'am, Mrs. Cui and the wives of Zhao Wanglin's family are here." As soon as Xichun said this, Cui Cuicui walked in gracefully.
"Madam magistrate, congratulations."
"Tongxi..." Li Qingling showed a proper smile on his face, nodded to Cui Cuicui, then looked at the three women standing next to Cui Cuicui, and asked doubtfully, "Who are these three?" I met Zhao Xiang, the wife of Wang Lin's family.
A slightly mean-looking woman came up, cast a sidelong glance at Li Qingling, and said proudly, "Mother Zhu Xiulan, I have met the county magistrate's wife, but I didn't expect the county magistrate's wife to be so young..." A little girl also Dare to slap her Wang family in the face? What a shame.
"I wonder where this aunt's husband's family is?"
Dare to look down on her young age? Heh... don't ask her what kind of temperament Li Qingling is, and let her bully her casually
Auntie
Zhu Xiulan twisted her face, gritted her teeth and said that her husband's family name was Wang, and then asked Li Qingling if she knew the Wang family
Li Qingling nodded and said yes, who doesn't know the Wang family of the four richest men in Ninghua County
After finishing speaking, Zhu Xiulan proudly raised her chin, wishing she could lift it to the sky.
Li Qingling sat on the chair dignifiedly, and said lightly, Mrs. Zhu, have you cleaned your nostrils? I saw…
The rest of the words were not finished, but the people present understood.
With a puff, I don't know who laughed.
Zhu Xiulan heard the muffled laughter around her, her face turned blue with anger, she glared at Li Qingling, "You..."
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Li Qingling, "Today is my wife's birthday, if I wish you sincerely wish my wife a happy birthday, I would very much welcome you, if not, then I'm sorry. "
Master should have expected today's scene, and told her, whoever dares not to give her face, dares to make trouble, don't be afraid, just go back, even if the sky is pierced, he will find a way to help her make it up.
With this sentence, what is she afraid of? Whoever dares to make her unhappy, then she doesn't have to worry about anyone's face, just start brushing.
"The county magistrate's wife is really majestic."
"It's nothing more than Mrs. Zhu's." Li Qingling still had a smile on his face, "Madam Zhu, are you here to mess things up? Hmm?"
"Mrs. Magistrate, Madam Zhu is very straightforward. She didn't mean to contradict you." A dignified woman stepped forward, and while talking, she quietly pulled Zhu Xiulan's sleeve to let her Don't say any more, to avoid ruining the husband's affairs, "The woman's surname is Miao, and her husband's surname is Zhao. I have met the county magistrate's wife."
Zhao He's wife
Li Qingling felt confident, smiled at her, and called Mrs. Miao.
At this time, standing on Cui Cuicui's left, a petite-looking woman came up, lowered her head and introduced herself.
Only then did Li Qingling know that she was Lin Sen's wife, Kong Hua.
If it was her birthday, she might not be able to meet the wives of Zhao Wanglin's family.
I don't know why they came to see her? She couldn't believe that they were simply here to celebrate her birthday.
Soldiers come to block, soil comes to flood, she wants to see what these people want to do
"Thank you ladies for taking the time to attend this lady's birthday banquet." Li Qingling nodded slightly to them, and then looked around at the women who were standing stiffly aside, she smiled and invited them to sit down for dinner.
The wives of the four families were arranged to sit on the chair with Li Qingling. Cui Cuicui picked up a wine glass and raised it to Li Qingling, "Mrs. Magistrate, I wish you a drink, I wish you every year today and every year today."
Li Qingling picked up the teacup, "Thank you Mrs. Cui, it's just that I'm not fit for drinking, so I can only use tea instead of wine." She took a sip of plain water as she spoke.
That's right, the cup was filled with boiled water, Liu Zhimo refused to let her drink tea, and asked Xichun to replace it with boiled water early on.
When Zhu Xiulan saw her, she frowned and said that the county magistrate's wife was too disrespectful to Mrs. Cui, and she refused to drink a glass of wine.
"Mrs. Zhu, are you deaf? Didn't you hear the county magistrate's wife say that you are unwell? If something goes wrong with drinking, can you be responsible?" Hu Juanjuan looked up at Zhu Xiulan, and smiled back.
Zhu Xiulan snorted coldly at Hu Juanjuan, completely ignoring Hu Juanjuan, a wife of a county magistrate, what qualifications does she have to talk to her
Li Qingling held the teacup, turned it gently, looked up at Zhu Xiulan, and said slowly, "Scholar, Farmer, Industry and Commerce."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Xiulan's face changed, she gritted her teeth forcefully, and swallowed the words that came to her lips.
As a scholar, farmer, businessman, Li Qingling means that she has the lowest status, so what is there to be arrogant about
Okay, okay, she remembered today's humiliation, and she will definitely return it to Li Qingling in the future.
