By the time I finished my business, it was time for dinner.

The master thought that County Magistrate Chen was going to stay at Xu's house for dinner, but he didn't expect that Magistrate Chen ordered the accompanying servants and others to take away two stones of wet millet. He wanted to take the remaining ten stones of wet millet back to the county government office. After a few days, let it dry in the sun and then order the yamen servant to pick it up.

County Magistrate Chen warmly praised Huo Yunchao, distributed the rewards he brought to everyone, and led the master and others back to the city.

After County Magistrate Chen and his entourage left, the onlookers suddenly became active. They surrounded Huo Yun three floors inside and three floors outside, asking many questions that they had heard countless times.

Outside the crowd were four middle-aged men who were dressed very differently from ordinary farmers. A closer look revealed that they were indeed not ordinary farmers, but Li Zheng, who had jurisdiction.

As the local official, County Magistrate Chen is a great official in the hearts of farmers. His visit to Pingle Village is like a big cake from heaven and a happy event.

I heard that the county magistrate was visiting Pingle Village in person, and people from other villages came over one after another after receiving the news, including three Li Zheng.

In Dasheng Dynasty, eighty households were set up in one li, and the length of one li was the main line.

There are township officials who are responsible for communicating with the county government. They are equivalent to the village chiefs who are in charge of all matters in the village. They are responsible for checking the household registration, planting mulberry trees, inspecting illegal activities, and urging the payment of taxes and levies.

Li Zheng from Pingle Village saw those familiar faces with calm expressions on his face, and felt so happy!

It turned out that these three local people had all tried to bully Huo Yunchao: they said that Huo Yunchao had lost a man's face by recommending himself as a wife; that Huo Yunchao had lost his manliness by listening too much to his wife; they said that Huo Yunchao was just messing around without doing his job, and so on.

In the mouths of the three of them, Huo Yunchao was a heinous villain.

In fact, these three Li Zheng didn't care what kind of person Huo Yunchao was. They just used Huo Yunchao to suppress Li Zheng of Pingle Village, blaming him for not educating the young men under his jurisdiction, mocking him and humiliating him for being dwarfed. Him, making him unable to hold his head up in front of others.

People from four different villages were secretly competing with each other in private. Huo Yunchao was obsessed with the villagers and had no extra energy to pay attention to them. He just wanted to get rid of this group of enthusiastic villagers and go home to eat, drink and lie down.

Zheng Shaoxuan was very envious of Huo Yunchao's continuous appreciation and praise from County Magistrate Chen. He only had full blessings and no undue thoughts in his heart.

"Folks, we have been busy for a long time and we are all exhausted. If you have anything to say, can we talk about it after we have rested?" Zheng Shaoxuan patiently persuaded the villagers who were obviously overly excited.

With the help of Huo Yunyao and others, Huo Yunchao managed to escape and return home after spending a stick of incense. After entering the house, he drank half a bowl of soup and moistened his mouth. Only then did he have time to talk to Xu Ning: "Madam, are you okay?" Come on, I'm neglecting you."

Xu Ning gave him an angry look and pushed him out: "Mr., what are you talking about? Go and wash your face. The elders of the Huo family will come to the house later, and while eating, we will discuss who will be the guest. The prefect is working as a carpenter."

Huo Yunchao tensed up his nerves to entertain County Magistrate Chen. At this moment, he just wanted to talk to Xu Ning about a few common things to relax and relax: "Madam, you said that I didn't assign my father to go, will he feel uncomfortable? "

Xu Ning pointed out to him

Ming Lu: "Well, isn't Father Huo sitting in the yard outside? Just ask Father Huo directly."

"Madam, let me give you a hug to replenish your energy."

Huo Yunchao hugged Xu Ning and had no choice but to say: "Dad, can we say a few words on our minds?"

Huo Tianxiang clenched his fist and asked, "Chao'er, do you want to talk about going to see the prefect?"

"That's right! When did my father have the ability to make miraculous calculations?"

Huo Yunchao tried to fool this matter by making jokes.

Unexpectedly, Huo Tianxiang was very concerned about this matter. He looked at Huo Yunchao and said, "Chao'er, do you dislike me for being old and frail? Are you afraid that I will say something wrong in front of the prefect and bring trouble to the Huo and Xu families?" A disaster of words?"

Huo Yunchao was obviously stunned for a moment, and said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "Dad, I really didn't think so! I swear to God, if I..."

"No need to swear, just say yes or no."

Huo Tianxiang stood up and covered his son's mouth to prevent him from swearing randomly. What if, what if it really comes true?

His Chao'er finally got the hang of things and became promising, but Huo Tianxiang didn't dare to take any risks.

Huo Yunchao snickered secretly in his heart: His father is so easy to fool.

Huo Yunchao counted the time on Huo Tianxiang's fingers: "Dad, the reason why I don't want you to see the prefect is not that I dislike you or that I don't trust your craftsmanship, but that it's a tiring journey all the way. At least you have to be outside. You will stay for a year and a half. Dad, believe me, if this matter is beneficial to our family, I will not stop you. After all, this is the honor I have earned."

I heard Huo Yunchao

Huo Tianxiang no longer had any grudges, and although he had some regrets, he finally accepted Huo Yunchao's arrangement.

After settling a matter on his mind, Huo Tianxiang asked Huo Yunchao who he wanted to choose to meet the magistrate. When he heard the names of the two people from Huo Yunchao's mouth, he knew it well. He said nothing at the wine table and just acted as a background, listening to the old clan leader and clan leader. They were arguing over who was better to arrange.

Butcher Xu did not participate in the affairs of the Huo family. Huo Yunchao was the Xu family's son-in-law. He made a big splash in the village, which meant that the Xu family made a big splash.

Huo Yunchao was the Xu family's adopted son-in-law. He never concealed his identity as the adopted son-in-law in front of County Magistrate Chen. His down-to-earth and generous appearance greatly pleased Butcher Xu.

Butcher Xu secretly said to Xu Ning: "Mother Ning, the old man said a friend in need is a friend indeed. I see, you can also see a person's true character even if there is a big happy event in the family."

"Dad, do you still have doubts about my husband?"

Xu Ning had long known how much Huo Yunchao cared about her, and he treated her with all his heart. He didn't just keep talking, but always expressed his love with practical actions.

Butcher Xu originally looked down on Huo Yunchao, and the reason why he agreed to marry Huo Yunchao more was because he had no better choice.

He had always been worried that Huo Yunchao would not be willing to be the Xu family's son-in-law, and might cause trouble one day. He was even mentally prepared to be tricked by Huo Yunchao. How could he have imagined that Huo Yunchao not only did not trick their father and daughter after getting married, but also that he would not harm their father and daughter. On the contrary, it brought so many surprises to their father and daughter.

Especially today, Huo Yunchao won the favor of County Magistrate Chen based on his own ability, and Xu Butcher got a lot of glory, and everyone was envious and jealous.

Hearing the voice of hatred, he felt so beautiful that he felt happy.

Huo Yunchao didn't have any major emotional fluctuations in his attitude towards other people. He had never had any inappropriate expectations for these people, and he had no resentment.

He didn't want to listen to the few words that the old patriarch Huo said over and over again, so he forced the topic back to the topic many times, urging the old patriarch and others to decide as soon as possible who should be sent as a carpenter to represent the Huo clan to the prefect.
