The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei
Chapter 22 Adding makeup
Uncle Qin drove the carriage and took Xie Shuting and Lian Xi to Caojiazhuang. After all, today was the wedding of Cao Zhen and Cao Yue, and as a woman, she should help the other party.
Besides, there were serious vacancies in the government office now, and the first time she saw Cao Zhen, she felt that this man was simple and honest and could be of great use.
In addition, Cao Yue was a woman of some learning, and she was also a person who was sensible and not rigid. It was not enough to have only one Dong Pingchang in the private school, and she was in urgent need of talents.
Although she could ask Lian Yue to transfer people from Lianhua Tower with a piece of paper, it would require too much manpower. Moreover, she would have to go to the capital in three years. Would she have to withdraw all the people by then?
In this way, Laigu County will return to its original state, which is contrary to her original intention. Therefore, she can only use the people of Laigu County for this development and keep them in the end.
The carriage was moving slowly on the official road, and from time to time a fast horse would gallop past the carriage, making it impossible for Xie Shuting to rest at all.
"Xi'er! Go back and tell the people at Fuwei Escort Agency whether it is necessary to make such a big scene."
"Miss! This is an order from Sister Lian Yue. I can't command them." Lian Xi stuck out her tongue, acting as if she had nothing to do with it.
"Bang!~"
Xie Shuting raised her hand, tapped Lian Xi's forehead and said, "Since you are so obedient, I will give you a 'hairy chestnut'. Let's see if you dare to talk back to me again in the future."
Lian Xi rubbed his forehead with some grievance, his face full of sadness as he said: "Sister Lian Yue is worried about Miss. What happened last time was so scary. If..."
"Stop it right there." Xie Shuting hurriedly stopped him.
Lian Xi noticed something was wrong, and quickly covered her mouth, whimpering, "Miss! I didn't mean it."
Xie Shuting was also quite speechless. She didn't know what kind of person Lian Xi was. What she said was always effective when bad things happened but good things didn't work.
The carriage was quiet for a while, and Xie Shuting closed her eyes to rest. Not long after, the three of them heard the sound of knocking and banging, which was very lively.
When Xie Shuting first traveled through time, she thought that ancient people also got married early in the morning. Later, she learned that the wedding was held in the morning, and the main activities were held in the afternoon or evening.
Xie Shuting slowly opened the curtain and looked out. She saw a small courtyard not far ahead with several red lanterns hanging on it and villagers coming and going. It was obvious that they had arrived at Caojiazhuang.
"Miss! We are here," Lian Xi reminded.
"Yeah!~"
Xie Shuting straightened her clothes, took Lian Xi's hand and slowly got out of the carriage. At this moment, she had the demeanor of a young lady from an official family.
Uncle Qin stopped the carriage and quickly walked forward to chat with the villagers of Caojiazhuang. Not long after, Cao Shuang staggered and came over quickly.
"Thank you, Miss! I didn't expect you to come. I'm really flattered." Cao Shuang bowed and said.
Although Xie Shuting was the daughter of the county magistrate, she still did not dare to accept Cao Shuang's gift. She leaned sideways and said, "Cao Lizheng! I can't accept your gift."
"Thank you, sir, for making an enemy of Liu Qing for the sake of Caojiazhuang. This is a favor to me and I deserve it." While speaking, Cao Shuang leaned forward and saluted again.
Xie Shuting couldn't help but look at the courtyard in front of her and chuckled, "Li Zheng Cao! I can smell the delicious food. It seems that I will have a good meal today."
Cao Shuang suddenly came back to his senses after hearing this, and coughed a little awkwardly, saying, "I am sorry for neglecting this matter. Thank you, Miss! Please."
"Li Zheng Cao! Please." Xie Shuting gestured with her hand.
The two of them exchanged a few polite words, and Cao Shuang finally led Xie Shuting into the yard. Lian Xi and Qin Shu took out the gifts from the carriage and followed their young lady.
After crossing the slightly dilapidated gate, Xie Shuting saw that the yard was full of red silk. Several large boxes were also wrapped in red silk flowers and placed steadily in the yard.
Xie Shuting could see that although Cao Zhen and Cao Yue's wedding was a bit hasty, all the etiquette was still very complete, which proved that the two still had some feelings for each other.
While Xie Shuting was thinking, Cao Zhen also came out quickly, and bowed happily and said, "Miss Xie is really an honored guest. Your presence here today makes my humble courtyard shine!"
"I didn't expect that Brother Cao has such literary talent. Today is your grand occasion, but I haven't congratulated you yet, so I can't be considered a distinguished guest." Xie Shuting said with a smile.
"That's not true. Miss Xie is an honored guest to Cao Zhen."
Cao Zhen cupped his hands as he spoke, "My wife is in her new home now, and the banquet has just begun. If Miss Xie doesn't mind, could you please stay and share in the good fortune?"
Xie Shuting wanted to agree, but Lian Xi, who was standing beside her, was a little worried and hurriedly said, "Miss! The master asked you to go back early."
Lian Xi's words instantly blocked Xie Shuting's way. She said with an apologetic look on her face: "Brother Cao! I'm really sorry, I'm afraid I don't have time to share in your joy today."
"That's not true. It's a blessing that Miss Xie is here."
Upon hearing this, Cao Shuang hurriedly took out the thank-you gift that he had prepared in advance from the main room and handed it to Cao Zhen. With a glance from the other party, Cao Zhen immediately understood what he meant.
Don’t mention the saying “An old man in the family is better than a treasure”. If Cao Shuang had not been worthy of being a village head, it would have been difficult for Caojiazhuang to unite.
Cao Zhen rubbed his hands hesitantly, handed the thank-you gift to Xie Shuting and said, "This is the wedding candy I prepared. Miss Xie, please don't dislike it."
"Don't mind. Brother Cao is thoughtful."
As Xie Shuting was talking, she took the gift box and motioned Lian Xi to give the prepared gift to Cao Zhen. She then smiled and said, "My father asked me to come and congratulate Brother Cao today. I wish you two a happy marriage and a long life together."
"Thank you!" Cao Zhen stroked his hand and said.
Cao Yue in the bridal chamber had already been attracted by the noises outside, but today was her wedding night and she could not leave the bridal chamber.
Otherwise, she would have already knelt beside Xie Shuting at this moment. After all, she was also very smart and knew the reason why Lord Xie came to give her gifts, which was nothing more than to save face for her.
After Xie Shuting gave the gift, she did not stay for long and led Lian Xi out of the yard quickly. Cao Zhen and Cao Shuang accompanied them, and they did not dare to neglect Xie Shuting in the slightest.
Xie Shuting got on the carriage, glanced at the villagers behind her who were eager to try, and said to Cao Zhen with a smile: "Brother Cao! When my father came here, he asked me to ask you a question. I wonder if Brother Cao is interested in taking a position in the county government?"
"This!~" Cao Zhen said in astonishment.
Although the runners of the county government were not high-ranking officials, they were all loyal followers of the six yamen chiefs. Ordinary people could not get in without paying money.
Since the arrest of Liu Ping that day, he had felt the joy of eliminating violence and protecting the good. It was impossible for him to not miss the job of a yamen runner, after all, he was just a peasant.
