The Little Lucky Girl

Upon learning that the items on the ground were gifts from Ming Youyou, Magistrate Tao was angry that the two did not take him with them, so he mercilessly ordered the servants to pack up the items and carry them all to the study.

Then Mrs. Tao angrily rolled up his bedding and sent it to the study.

Three days passed, and Mrs. Tao was a little surprised that her husband did not come to surrender as he did in the past, so she ignored him out of spite.

Five days passed, and seeing that County Magistrate Tao still hadn't returned to the main room to rest, Mrs. Tao began to feel uneasy.

"Are you so busy with official duties recently?" She called the lawyer over and asked.

Master He shook his head, bowed and replied: "The settlement of the villagers has been mostly completed, so you have a lot of free time now."

"Then why did he..." Mrs. Tao was too embarrassed to ask further.

Master He smiled knowingly, "But the master recently got an interesting object, and he has been studying it all day long, forgetting to eat and sleep, trying to figure it out."

"He wouldn't be..." Mrs. Tao said in horror.

Master He nodded with a sad face.

When Magistrate Tao is not busy, he likes to study something, but he is very clumsy in handicrafts. However, he has a strong addiction to being a good person and likes to show off to others.

Thinking of the last magic trick experience... everyone couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

Madam Tao hurriedly called the maid, "Have you delivered the soup to the master?"

"The kitchen just said it would take a while, so it probably hasn't been delivered yet."

"That's great. Don't give it to him. Give it to us and let's drink it." Mrs. Tao said. She was afraid that this bowl of soup would remind her of her husband and he would force her to join him in making bamboo weaving.

It was originally a very interesting game, but Lord Tao insisted on picking up each one and examining them carefully for a long time. The things he put together were also very strange, and he was unwilling to correct them. Who could stand it if you had to stay by his side?

Ming Youyou happened to come over to get information. When she heard that she was going to meet Magistrate Tao, Madam Tao and Master He looked at her as if she were a warrior. One of them said, "I'll ask Chef Zhang to cook a few more dishes for you. You've worked hard, kid."

The other said, "If you really can't hold on any longer, give the servant a hint and I'll find a reason to rescue you."

Ming Youyou blinked, and her heart, which had been a little uneasy to begin with, now felt even more uneasy.

She was surrounded by the crowd and walked to the door of the study. She took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

The floor of the study was so messy that there was almost no place to step. Not only were there scattered bamboo parts, but there were also various drawings drawn by County Magistrate Tao.

When Magistrate Tao saw her coming in, he said proudly, "Look, this is the courtyard house I put together. How is it? Isn't it unique?"

Ming Youyou looked at Magistrate Tao's unshaven face, then at the palm-sized small house, where one of the windows was spelled wrong.

The little house was waved before her eyes as if it were a treasure, and then immediately taken back. The poor window, which was a size smaller, swayed helplessly back and forth.

It took five days to put together such a small thing. It is not easy for ordinary people to do it. "Sir, you are really amazing." Ming Youyou said sincerely.

Magistrate Tao laughed heartily, his beard, which had not been trimmed for several days, trembling, showing that he was in a very good mood at the moment. "You came to the county government office so early today, I'm afraid you got up before dawn. Tell me, do you have something to ask me?"

Ming Youyou thought that Lord Tao was kind of cute and immediately brought up Feng Xu's idea.

Magistrate Tao frowned. He had already handed the matter over to the county lieutenant. Although he expected the lieutenant to not be dedicated, he did not expect that he would drag it out until now.

The county lieutenant is an old man who has worked in the county government for nearly twenty years. He is also a native of the area and his family has some background in Yuqing County, so sometimes he is not so obedient.

Tao County Magistrate, an outsider official, did not want to have too many conflicts with the locals at first. Later, his prestige was enough to convince the people, so they felt it was unnecessary, so they retained his position and made him responsible for some peripheral matters.

"I've heard that there's a lot of money to be made in the official exchanges between the local areas and the imperial court. The county lieutenant is probably afraid of affecting his interests, so he's testing my attitude." Magistrate Tao thought about it and decided that a county lieutenant was not a concern, but it was not the time to come into conflict with the local families. This time, he planned to give them a warning first.

Not wanting to be disturbed in his good mood, he looked at Ming Youyou and said with a smile: "I will arrange this matter. Tomorrow, you can ask Feng Xu and others to gather at the gate of the county government office, and then leave with the people from the government office."

"I will write him a few more letters so that Feng Xu can go to the local government office for help when he encounters problems that he cannot solve," Magistrate Tao said.

"You can ask him to try more and choose different routes to go back and forth. Remember to keep good records. If escorting is feasible, it will be another way out for those retired veterans."

Ming Youyou took it happily. Before this, Lu Tai racked his brains to recall which students and old friends of his grandfather he had met, and shamelessly tried to get close to them. He wrote a lot of letters calling them uncles and aunts, but it was estimated that none of them would be as effective as this light letter from Lord Tao.

At this moment, she saw that Lord Tao was particularly tall and decided to help him correct the mistake on the window.

Ming Youyou found the original small bamboo window and quietly pushed it towards County Magistrate Tao. However, County Magistrate Tao, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, didn't realize it and ended up using it as a fence door.

It seems, as if, that it is acceptable. Ming Youyou feels that Lord Tao has done his best and she cannot ask too much of him.

After putting the last piece of the courtyard wall that didn't seem to match, Magistrate Tao nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly asked with some doubt: "Why do I feel that this courtyard looks a little familiar?"

"Isn't this the house you lived in Chang'an?" Ming Youyou was very happy that he finally figured it out. After they decided to give the bamboo weaving away, they specially asked Grandpa Tong to make it for them.

Since the gift is not expensive, it should be delivered to the heart. The four people thought that Lord Tao had lived in Chang'an for a long time and must miss the place, so they drew a blueprint based on the appearance of Chang'an County Yamen.

It just so happened that Zheng Huan and the other two were frequent visitors to the county government office at that time, and Ming Youyou had been hanging around in the backyard for several days, so when the memories of several people were pieced together, they were able to restore most of it.

However, Chang'an County Government was just the place where County Magistrate Tao had worked before, and the feelings there were not as deep as those in his hometown. County Magistrate Tao smiled and appreciated the feelings of the children, but his desire to work together had diminished a lot.

He planned to ask Grandpa Tong to make some more parts and transform it into the appearance of his hometown.

Magistrate Tao turned to the others and picked one up to play with it. "Is this a waterwheel?"

Ming Youyou nodded immediately and urged: "Hurry up and put this together, this is really fun."

Perhaps her expression was too vivid, which aroused the curiosity of County Magistrate Tao. This time he did not study it excessively, but the two of them worked together to complete it quickly.

Magistrate Tao held up a wooden figure with a hideous face and asked, "Who is this person?"
