After marrying sick Yangzi, I made my whole family rich

"In addition, there are two hundred taels of silver allocated from the government to be used as payment for your first appointment as mayor." Song Qian said with a smile, "If you find any areas that need improvement, you can use this money. No notification is required.”

Lu Lizheng was shocked. Although two hundred taels was not much for a town, it was enough for him to use his skills!

Furthermore, no notification is required? How much trust was given to him by the above, weren't they afraid that he would be greedy for the money? Therefore, Lu Lizheng wanted to be the mayor even more.

Quickly thank you again.

Xu Mengxiao had some thoughts in her mind and asked for Uncle Li Zheng, "Then if the two hundred taels are used up, can I still apply for more money and continue to benefit the people?"

Song Gao looked at her seriously and said, "If all this money is used to benefit the people and serve the court, no matter how good the proposal is, I will not be stingy. However, the expenditure in a county is extremely limited. If I have more money, I will not be stingy." Officials also have to report to the superior magistrate, haha."

He joked, and everyone also laughed, praising Mr. Song as a good official who thinks about the people, and Lu Lizheng, who was highly valued by him, naturally did not give in too much. Haven't you seen how many practical things he has done, and he is so highly regarded!

In an instant, those who came from the town didn't want to leave. They just waited for the magistrate to leave and immediately came to congratulate him.

There were also those who knew how to camp and quickly went to other villagers' homes to buy some chickens, ducks, fish and geese. Fearing that the gifts would not be enough, they even asked people to run errands to the town to buy some things.

Shopkeeper Tao and Xu Shengjie, who saw this with their own eyes, felt very complicated.

Originally, they didn't have much respect for Li Zheng. Now that they saw that Lu Li Zheng was appreciated by the new county magistrate, and even Duan Zhifu and the Minister of Industry, and was promoted to mayor, how could they dare to make a mistake?

Immediately afterwards, Uncle Sixth, Third Uncle Xu and others also heard the news, and they all beat their chests and feet, feeling jealous and hateful. They didn't know whether they hated themselves or Lu Lizheng.

Xu Laoer returned to Xu's house and smashed a lot of things. He came back. After staying for so many days, not only did he accomplish nothing, but nothing affected Xu Mengxiao and others. Instead, they climbed up a level! ?

"Mayor, mayor, that's great! Maybe she had planned this a long time ago. Lu Lizheng has become Mayor Lu, and she will be even more difficult to deal with in the future!"

At this time, he thought of Wen Changming, a handsome man who was well-known in Fucheng, and some of the news he heard from him, and his sinister eyes instantly narrowed.

"Let's go back to Fucheng!" Since it's hard to take action because of their power, then let them disintegrate from the inside. This is the real killing without blood!

As soon as Xu Laoer left, Mrs. Zhang, who was hiding behind the door, immediately patted her chest and ran to the Lu family to report the news to Xu Mengxiao.

At this time, the guests and hosts of the Lu family were enjoying themselves. Song Gao, who originally didn't pay much attention to the delicacies of Taoyuan Township that Xu Mengxiao said, was eating so much that he didn't even bother to talk.

But when he had time, he would still say a few words to Lu Hai - this reckless and somewhat direct young man seemed to be much easier to deal with than Lu Dayou, or even the eldest daughter-in-law.

"I heard that you served in the army in the frontier before. I think you have a lot of strength. Why did you suddenly come back?" Moreover, Song Gao had investigated the point of return and it was very clever. His eyes couldn't help but darken a little.

"Because I thought about taking care of my eldest brother's father alone at home..." Lu Hai glanced at Lu Lizheng, "I felt very unfilial. I was afraid that my eldest brother would do something bad, and I wouldn't even be able to see his last face."

He took a breath and said with sincerity: "The battlefield is ruthless. The common people are afraid that if they die, their loved ones at home will suffer endless pain. Maybe they are also afraid of death. In addition, they suffered some injuries at that time, so they came back when they had an opportunity. "

No one thinks that Lu Hai is really greedy for life and afraid of death. If he were greedy for life and afraid of death, he would not take the initiative to join the army, and he would go there for several years.

Maybe you have really figured it out as you grow up and know what you really care about.

Song Gao nodded, "You are right, nothing is more important than family members!"

He took the initiative to toast Lu Hai with a glass of wine, and his peripheral vision once again passed by the east wing not far away.

I've been here for so long, but there's been no movement there. Is it because I'm really sick, or is there some other reason...

However, Lu Hai and Lu Lizheng were both shocked by the content of his sentence!

Why does this not sound like you are thinking about the imperial court?

Although this was just a village banquet and there were no big shots, the new magistrate did not look like the kind of person who would make mistakes when he talks too much.

Or is his attitude sending some message to them...

Lu Hai suppressed the uncertainty in his eyes, feeling that if he continued like this, he would definitely reveal something.

Country people don't pay attention to the distinction between men and women, otherwise women would not work in the fields, and the Lu family does not have the habit of men and women eating at separate tables.

So at this time, Xu Mengxiao put down the wine glass with a "pop" sound, "Dad, I'm going to see my husband. The tonic soup has been stewed."

"I'll go too!" Lu Hai was eager to leave quickly and then ask his elder brother what was going on.

"It just so happens that I've almost eaten, so I should pay a visit anyway." Song Jiu said cheekily, "I'm not cold anymore, can I go and have a visit?"

He looked at Xu Mengxiao jokingly, "I heard that Mr. Lu also came up with a lot of ideas. He even carved the logo on Li Ji's water tanker himself. I am a person who loves calligraphy. I wonder if I can explore it. two?"

Lu Lizheng only felt that Master Song was a little strange, maybe he was too persistent with Lu He.

Lu Hai was even more panicked. He was about to say something, but was secretly kicked by Xu Mengxiao next to him.

"Okay, but you may have to wait for a while, sir. Let me deliver the soup to my husband and come back after using it."

"It's natural." Otherwise it would be too rude.

But is this little woman so open-minded, is she unaware, or is it really nothing?

Song Jiu hoped it was the former. He seemed to be casual, but his eyes were watching Xu Mengxiao's every move. Seeing that she was unhurried and not nervous at all, he felt a little solemn.

If this person could become his pillow, would he not know anything? Either he wouldn't accept it, or he wouldn't hide it so completely.

Lu Hai, who was left behind, felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles. Fortunately, Lord Song could no longer care about him at this moment.

When Xu Mengxiao pushed the door open, she saw Lu He sitting at the table, calmly and attentively helping her carve the box of the beauty cream.

Now that his body is weak, Xu Mengxiao needs to sell two boxes of beauty cream every month, so he makes the boxes while his health is still good.

"Don't do it, it will make you nervous." Xu Mengxiao held his hand and handed him the tonic soup with therapeutic agent.

"Later, I asked Miss Zhuo to give me the used empty box, and I directly used her empty box to put new beauty creams, so that I can save one every month."

"Yeah." But he felt that if this continues, it would be difficult to do one thing a month. "I'm fine now, but it's hard to say in the future. If I take the time to do something, it won't be a big deal."

Neither of them mentioned anything about Mr. Song outside. Lu He thought she would ask something, but he finished the soup and she left with the empty bowl.

"Mengxiao."

Xu Mengxiao, who had never been shouted at like this before, felt his ears tingle. His voice was so loud that it was almost life-threatening.

"What's wrong?" She looked at the thoughtful man.

"Do you have anything to ask me?" Lu He's expression was complicated and a little tempting, as if he was expecting her to ask.
