The whole village is fleeing famine, fortunately I have a concubine system

How many people had nothing to eat because they could not afford the one or two taels of silver as the entrance fee.

Eventually he starved to death under the city wall of Wudu.

At that time, County Magistrate Chen was probably still in his own residence.

Let’s enjoy the delicacies from land and sea that ordinary people can’t even get to see.

After getting on the carriage, Xiaomi saw a small coffee table made of rosewood placed in the middle of the carriage.

The surrounding cushions are also made of silk, embroidered with patterns of happiness, wealth, longevity and joy.

Sit on it and touch it with your hand, it feels cool and smooth.

It's stuffed with cotton cloth, sewn together layer by layer, so it doesn't feel like a barrier when you sit on it.

County Magistrate Chen also followed Wang Chengzi into the carriage. He gave an order to the driver, and the carriage began to slowly move towards the city.

The two tigers followed the carriage on both sides, scaring the horses so much that they kept neighing nervously and trembling as they walked forward.

After County Magistrate Chen got into the car, he opened the coffee table and took out the teapot that had been warmed by charcoal fire underneath.

He then took out a few matching cups from the secret cabinet and poured a cup of tea for Wang Chengzi and Xiaomi respectively.

He said to Wang Chengzi: "Brother Wang is so talented at such a young age. I heard that he is the top scholar. I am really ashamed of myself!"

After saying that, Wang Chengzi just smiled and didn't say anything.

He also said: "Your daughter is also very smart. She has grown up to be so beautiful at such a young age. She will be even more amazing in the future!

I wonder which boy will be so lucky in the future to marry your daughter.

Unlike my useless grandson, who is about the same age but studies hard every day.

They are about the same age, so they can play together then, hahahahaha."

County Magistrate Chen originally just wanted to make friends with Wang Chengzi, but after seeing Xiaomi beside Wang Chengzi.

He started to have evil ideas again. No kind of friendship is as solid as that of in-laws.

If his grandson married Wang Chengzi's daughter, would he still worry about being bullied in Wudu after he left office?

In the future, you will be able to walk around Wudu like the people of the Sheng family, and be like a local emperor.

At this time, County Magistrate Chen seemed to have forgotten the final fate of the Sheng family and only remembered the Sheng family's majestic scene at that time.

Wang Chengzi was sipping his tea leisurely and didn't hear what County Magistrate Chen was saying at all.

It was not until he heard County Magistrate Chen actually start talking about Xiaomi that Wang Chengzi realized that he treated Xiaomi as if it were his own eyes and loved it very much.

Now anyone can set his sights on his precious daughter.

Wang Chengzi was not willing to do that. You have to know why he had been studying late into the night for the past few years and trying to pass the imperial examinations.

It's just that I don't want my family to suffer any injustice again.

Be able to stand up straight and live with dignity.

This time, County Magistrate Chen was flattering the horse's leg without even realizing it.

He was still looking at Xiaomi with a smile, to see if she was qualified to enter his Chen family.

As he looked at her, he frowned, thinking that Xiaomi was too thin.

It may be difficult for her to have children in the future, and she won’t be able to carry on the Chen family’s lineage.

She looked delicate and weak, with a pair of round almond-shaped eyes beneath a pair of faint eyebrows like distant mountains.

She is still young now, but you can already tell that she will be pitiful and lovable in the future.

County Magistrate Chen felt that she was not worthy of being the legal wife of his grandson Chen Jingbing.

She lacks the steadiness, dignity and grace of a mistress of the house.

But then I thought that this kind of easy-to-control personality is just right for me to mold and shape.

They didn't dare say anything to Wang Chengzi, as Wang Chengzi would take better care of their family because of his own daughter.

Marrying her would bring more benefits than disadvantages to my family.

So he felt satisfied and smiled more kindly at Xiaomi.

He just wanted to leave a good impression on Xiaomi, and then Chen Jingbing would work harder to marry this "Golden Buddha" into his family as soon as possible.

Seeing that Xiaomi didn't move, he pushed the teacup towards Xiaomi.

The bright yellow-green tea in the cup swayed on the wall of the cup.

Roll up the emerald green and slender tea leaves at the bottom and slowly return to calm.

Only the fresh scent of tea leaves can be smelled.

County Magistrate Chen said to Xiaomi: "Little girl, this is the best Xinyang Maojian tea.

These are the best ones picked before Qingming Festival. Please try them.”

Xiaomi looked at County Magistrate Chen's eyes, which were rolling around on her body.

Maybe because Xiaomi is a child now, the greedy look in his eyes is not hidden very deeply.

He looked at Xiaomi greedily, as if Xiaomi was something coveted.

Xiaomi originally had a bad impression of Chen Youni because of the city entrance fee.

Now seeing his malicious look, I feel even more disgusted.

He ignored Chen Youni's flattery and gave him a blank look, pretending he didn't see it.

Wang Chengzi took a sip of tea and put the cup heavily on the coffee table.

There was a crisp "click" sound, which was particularly harsh in the carriage.

Wang Chengzi looked at Chen Youni and curled the corners of his mouth with a forced smile.

He said coldly: "Master Chen, please don't bother yourself with my family's affairs.

You should take care of the affairs in the city first. Please make arrangements and have all the yamen runners gather at the yamen.

I have something to say.”

Chen Youni heard some dissatisfaction in Wang Chengzi's tone, but he didn't know what made Wang Chengzi unhappy.

His brain had been overly corrupted by wine and meat over the years, and he was also flattered by the city's legal advisors, merchants, and concubines.

Chen Youni had already lost the ability to distinguish between good and evil, and could no longer perceive the meaning behind other people's words.

In addition, when the previous emperor was in power, the court was corrupt and incompetent.

It is common for officials to protect each other and sell official positions and titles.

The county magistrate Chen Youni was bought for five thousand taels of silver.

My knowledge can only be described as superficial, and I have no real skills at all.

He is greedy for money and lustful. He is incapable of upholding justice, but is good at flattery.

Unfortunately, I still don’t understand what my superiors mean and I always do thankless tasks.

This is also the main reason why Chen Youni has served as the county magistrate in Wudu for so many years without being promoted.

Now Chen Youni also thought that Wang Chengzi was dissatisfied with the small number of people welcoming him at the city gate.

Plus, he wasn't given any "appreciation," so he was unhappy.

"Yes, yes, I will ask them to go to the yamen and wait immediately. I will make sure that Lord Wang is satisfied."

After saying this, he winked at Wang Chengzi ambiguously, indicating that he understood everything.

He opened the curtain and gave an order outside, and someone came down to make arrangements.

Wang Chengzi looked at Chen Youni and realized that he had no ability to read his expression.

I don’t know how he was able to sit as county magistrate for so many years.

He pinched his eyebrows with a headache and simply stopped talking.

Xiaomi knew that Wang Chengzi was tired and didn't disturb him.

He started eating the snacks on the coffee table. Coming here from Fengcheng, Xiaomi was exhausted and hungry along the way.
