Xie Heng felt that the girl must be hinting at him, so he decided to change his strategy.

After all, after listening to that girl's thoughts before, it was all beneficial to him.

Of course Xia Zhi didn't know what he was thinking here.

She just said that. As for whether Xie Heng could understand it, I don't know.

But she could also tell that Ling He was really serious about teaching martial arts to his brothers. Even if his eldest brother and third brother didn't have such good qualifications, he taught them patiently.

When Xia Zhizhi went to see it again, he was dragged by Ling He to learn it too.

When Ling He saw that Xia Zhi didn't refuse, he thought that his master understood the girl Zhi.

If it were him, he really would have thought that Zhi Tou was not interested in practicing martial arts.

Half a month after returning from the county, Xia Zhi had been asking Uncle Wu, who was working as an apprentice at the town's medical clinic, to keep an eye on the news about the Su family and his son.

If nothing else, she was really worried about Jiang Xiaoying's revenge.

Fortunately, it has been half a month and nothing has happened to the Su family and his son.

Because she was thinking about this, she forgot about the other thing until someone came from the Yamen.

Old Mrs. Xia was startled and wondered if one of her sons had committed some crime outside. The third child was guarding his wife and did not go out. The second child was also at home. The fifth child was always honest. The most likely one was the fourth child?

She was worried, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding. People from the government came here to buy the mountain for her family.

Only then did Mrs. Xia feel at ease. When Xia Zhi heard that the county magistrate was doing business in the next village, she clamored to treat the county magistrate to a meal.

Mrs. Xia nodded, "Zhizhi is right. The eldest master is so busy and still remembers our family's affairs. Why don't we treat him to a nice meal?"

Although Xia Jinxiu is good at making banquets and has accumulated some reputation, people don't invite her every day.

She was not in a hurry. After all, she had gone out so many times and had money on hand, so she couldn't spend enough on food and clothing.

Naturally, she has to help with matters at home.

"Brother Cha, please go and talk to the county magistrate. Don't dislike it if it's commonplace." Xia Jinxiu said with a smile.

She was good-looking and well-spoken. The official nodded with a blushing face and rushed to the two big buns given by the girl. This time she had to run away.

“Ms.

Xia Jinxiu smiled and said, "Then tell him that we have something important to tell him and we must invite him to come."

Xia Jinxiu thought that no one else had had the opportunity to make friends with the elder. She couldn't miss this opportunity. It would be easier to talk to him if something happened in the future!

Xia Zhi also helped to persuade, "Uncle, my little aunt's cooking is delicious. Others spend a lot of money to invite her to cook. The master is done with his work. You must help us invite him over. You guys Don’t you want to try my little aunt’s cooking?”

The two government officials looked at Xia Jinxiu and nodded vigorously, "I think, hehe, but we can't make the decision, but we can say a few more good words."

"Thank you, uncle!" Xia Zhi smiled and handed two apples to the two of them.

Even though they are just apples, they are rare, and they can be preserved so well after winter. It is really rare. The red color is attractive.

The two officials were still thinking that the county magistrate would have to put some thought into it, but they didn't expect that the county magistrate heard that Xia Zhi asked him to come over and had no intention of refusing.

All the words prepared by the two officials were swallowed up.

Apart from him, the county magistrate likes children, especially a girl like Xia Zhi, who is well-behaved, sensible, and a little clever. If his wife doesn't die in childbirth, he will also have a little girl.

It was past noon when the county magistrate arrived at Xia's house. After all, he had to finish the things at hand.

Xia Zhizhi had been waiting at the entrance of the village early. She felt that when inviting people to dinner, they had to show their sincerity.

Sure enough, the county prince was so happy when he saw the little girl that he even held her in his arms, "Little girl, you are waiting for me!"

"Yes, I'm afraid the eldest master won't come."

The county magistrate laughed loudly, and his eyes became much gentler. He was not as serious as he was in the courtroom. "Why do you suddenly invite me to dinner? Could it be that you want to ask me to be merciful when you buy Huangshan?"

Xia Zhi shook her head quickly. She didn't like this kind of petty profit. "Your Excellency is a good official and has helped our family so many times. Of course I want to treat you to dinner."

The county magistrate smiled. What lies could the little boy tell?

The Xia family was indeed polite. He was just doing his duty as an official, but he didn't expect the Xia family to care about him.

It can be seen how important it is to be a good official and win the hearts of the people.

The county magistrate walked through the village carrying Xia Zhili, and many people saw it. Everyone was not blind, and they could see that the county magistrate was quite interested in Xia Zhili.

Those people were talking curiously behind their backs. What is the relationship between the Xia family and the county magistrate?

When they were approaching Xia's house, Xia Hai saw her from a distance and shouted loudly into the yard, "Grandma, father, mother, third uncle, come quickly, here we come!"

"That is……"

"That's my third brother!" Xia Zhili explained.

"He is about the same age as my fourth child," the county magistrate said. "However, my fourth child is weak and sickly, so he is not as lively as him."

Xia Zhi looked at the county magistrate. Although he had a beard, he looked to be in his twenties. He didn't expect that he had so many children.

"Little girl, what are you looking at?" The county magistrate was stared at with confusion by the little man in his arms.

"You have so many sons, you don't look too big!"

The county magistrate laughed loudly, "I originally had four sons and one daughter, but it's a pity that my daughter followed her mother before she was born."

Xia Zhizhi took a deep breath, then patted the man on the shoulder, "Sir, don't be sad. Madam and young lady will live happily in heaven."

The county magistrate took a deep breath, and his heart was suddenly warmed. "I'd like to thank you for your good words. He is such a lovable boy."

The man blinked and adjusted his breathing, but subconsciously looked up at the sky.

"I know, why did you let the adults hold you? Come down quickly!" Xia Jinjun came out and was so excited that he even forgot to kneel down.

"It's okay, this girl has won my heart." The county magistrate saw the people kneeling on the ground and quickly called them up, "I'm here to get some food, why are I still kneeling down? There's no need to be so polite, old man, Please get up quickly."

"Are you here?" Xia Jinxiu wore an apron and came out while wiping her hands. Her hair was a little messy, and some of it was wet with sweat and stuck to her face. Her face was also slightly red. Something had just been fried in the pot. She didn't hear the crackling, so she came out to take a look.

The county magistrate looked at the girl in front of him, and his heart seemed to be hit by something.

Look no further, he quickly moved his eyes away, "Miss Lao Xia is here!"
