Only this green, not disappointing the spring

As for how Yang Wanxiu behind him was getting so angry and throwing a tantrum, Zhou Xiaoxi didn't care at all.

She happily took out a cabbage leaf, tore it into small pieces and fed it to Donkey Xiaohua bit by bit, praising her non-stop:

"Xiao Huahua, you did a great job. But you have to learn to judge people by their abilities in the future. If we meet someone who is strong, we should just run away. We must never confront them head-on!"

She didn't care whether the donkey could understand her or not, she was still very interested in what she was saying. If you talk more, people will understand you eventually!

A person was walking hurriedly towards them from a distance. Zhou Xiaoxi gently patted the donkey Xiaohua, signaling it to move aside.

When the person got closer, he found out it was Li Shoucai.

"Grandpa, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

Li Shoucai, who was walking forward with his head held high, suddenly stopped when he heard the sound. His feet slipped and he almost sprained his waist.

He patted his chest to calm himself down and said:

"Xiaoxi, oh, I was so busy walking that I didn't even see you. I came to look for you. I have something very important and urgent!"

Zhou Xiaoxi subconsciously wondered if someone was causing trouble. That shouldn't be the case, everyone was working hard and no one was lagging behind.

"Don't worry, let's find a place to talk slowly."

Li Shoucai slapped his thighs with both hands and said anxiously:

"Oh, I'm so anxious that my mouth is covered with blisters. Let's talk while we walk. I heard from my wife's cousin's wife's eldest brother's second cousin that the neighboring Fengshi County is also going to hold a sightseeing party!

I knew that on the day of the trial operation, Magistrate Jia came with bad intentions! As expected, he came here to steal our skills! Oh, I am so angry. The results we worked hard for half a year were stolen just like that. What can we do? "

Zhou Xiaoxi certainly still remembered the Magistrate Jia, who was weird and annoying. When he came here, he felt that his purpose was not pure, but he didn't expect that he had this idea.

However, sightseeing requires the right time, place and people, so how can it be so easy to plagiarize?

"Grandpa, you don't have to worry too much. Isn't Fengshi County famous for its many stones? It is said that good farmland is very scarce, so where do the flowers and plants come from?"

Li Shoucai was also very puzzled. The three villages here took advantage of the stream, and the flowers, plants and trees grew lushly, which led to the current grand occasion.

Where does Fengshi County get the confidence from?

"I don't know the details, but I heard that the news is spreading like wildfire, and that anyone who goes there to play will receive gifts. In short, they are trying to steal our business."

"We just need to do our own part well. As for others, we can't stop them even if we want to. Besides, our county magistrate should be more anxious. If he has any ideas, he will definitely find a way to solve it."

It is obvious that Magistrate Jia is a rival of Magistrate Zou, and this may affect their promotions. Magistrate Zou will certainly not sit idly by.

As expected, Zhou Xiaoxi heard someone calling for him outside just after lunch. When he went out, he saw that it was a servant from the county government driving a carriage to invite Zhou Xiaoxi into the city for a chat.

Baili Nanqing would never allow her daughter to go alone, so she got into the carriage with Zhou Xiaoxi.

"Yuer, if there's anything I can do, just tell me. Your father is a Beijing official, and that bastard Magistrate Jia wouldn't dare to mess with him. I can write a letter right away and ask your father to deal with him!"

Zhou Xiaoxi was a little amused and helpless. This was not a big deal and it was not necessary.

"Mother, don't worry about it. Competition is a good thing. It will make us do better. Besides, few villages will be able to achieve what we have now in two or three years. If all the villages in Da'an learn from us, it would be a great thing. I am looking forward to that day."

If the whole country is covered in a sea of ​​flowers, what a happy thing it would be! Of course, it is only an imagination, not an easy thing to achieve.

Baili Nanqing saw that Zhou Xiaoxi really didn't care much, and thought that she had her own ideas and arrangements, so she didn't say anything more.

My daughter can do whatever she wants to do, and I, as a mother, can be responsible for her. There is nothing to worry about, as long as she doesn't break the sky!

When Zhou Xiaoxi and the others arrived at the county government office, they found that Yang Zian and Fu Qiuyang were also there.

"Miss Xiaoxi, thank you for your hard work. This can't be done without you!"

As soon as Magistrate Zou saw the visitor, he greeted him apologetically. He was surprised to see a woman with extraordinary temperament beside Zhou Xiaoxi, and wondered where the other person came from.

"I wonder who this lady is...?"

Zhou Xiaoxi was just about to find an excuse when Baili Nanqing said directly:

"I am from the Baili family in Nanyang, and my husband is Shangguan Chong, the director of the Imperial College. It's a pleasure to meet you, Magistrate Zou."

Huh! After hearing this, Zou Shiye's knees almost went weak and he fell to the ground!

Almost all the scholars in their Da'an Kingdom were unaware of the three famous examiners in Kyoto, one of whom was Shangguan Chong, the director of the Imperial College.

That person was not only talented, but also had great prestige in the Imperial College. He was the first choice to succeed the Imperial College's chief academic officer.

"It turns out to be Madam Shangguan. I am sorry for the insolence. Please take a seat."

He bowed 90 degrees, holding up his robe with one hand and extending the other hand towards the main seat, with a constant smile on his face.

Tsk, this is a class society. It feels so awkward for Zhou Xiaoxi standing aside.

"There's no need to be like this, Magistrate Zou. I'm here to accompany my daughter. You guys should discuss business matters, so don't bother with me."

Accompanying his daughter? Zou Shiye couldn't help but look out the door, but he didn't see anyone else, not even the maids or servants.

He suddenly thought of something and immediately turned to look at Zhou Xiaoxi.

The movements were so fast that Zhou Xiaoxi was worried that he had sprained his neck.

"Mrs. Shangguan, your daughter is... Miss Xiaoxi?"

What kind of shocking news is this?!

Lord Siye has a daughter who has been away from home and has never been found. This is something that can be found out with just a little inquiry.

Countless people have tried their best to help find him, but to no avail. After all, there are too few clues and the time interval is too long.

He didn't expect that the phoenix would land on his territory, and they even made contributions because of this girl! This girl is his lucky star!

As a result, Zou Shiye's attitude towards Zhou Xiaoxi became more friendly and humble.

Zhou Xiaoxi could probably guess that her mother's purpose of revealing her identity was nothing more than to protect her. For the sake of the Shangguan family, she would be given more convenience in the future.

She suddenly understood the saying: Parents love their children and plan for them long-term.

It felt really good to be taken care of and loved. Her heart, which had been anxious all the time, finally felt at ease at this moment.

Zhou Xiaoxi held Baili Nanqing's hand, sat on the chair next to her, and personally poured her a cup of hot tea. The intimacy was self-evident.

Baili Nanqing cheered in her heart. If there were no outsiders present, she would have wanted to perform a few sets of boxing to express her ecstasy!

My daughter starts to be affectionate to me, hahaha. The child’s father has no chance. I’m so happy!
