The little girl from a farm family has a big wish to make a fortune by farming and picking mushrooms

Just as Qi Rui thought.

Although they are busy these days, the work does not really fall on the shoulders of these children.

The freshly harvested wheat was still a little wet, and lay quietly in the yard to bask in the sun.

There are donkeys, cows and horses at home. Three big guys pulling the cart around the wheat is better than human labor.

So Zhou Mingshu and his group of kids had nothing to do.

Either lie in the house to enjoy the cool air, or prepare something to eat.

The next afternoon, Rufeng came to find Zhou Mingshu on horseback and told her to make preparations in advance, and that Lord Qi would take her to the county town.

Zhou Mingshu agreed, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly. It felt like only a few days had passed.

After everything was settled, Zhou Mingshu went to report his itinerary to his grandmother.

"Grandma, Lord Qi asked me to follow him to the county town to find Magistrate Niu tomorrow."

Zhou Mingshu only said half of his words.

"Oh, is there something wrong? Why do they ask you to go?" Old Mrs. Zhou was thinking a lot and was a little worried.

"It's okay, it's okay. Even if there is any problem, they are the officials who will take care of it. I am just playing along."

When Old Mrs. Zhou heard her granddaughter say this, a smile appeared on her face.

"Okay, go if you're asked to, but don't go to any dangerous places."

The last time we went on a mountain patrol, we both fell badly. We must learn a lesson this time.

Zhou Mingshu agreed sweetly.

She has to go there early tomorrow morning, so she has to prepare her clothes and shoes in advance.

Even though she was just an ordinary peasant girl, no matter how she dressed up she wouldn't look much better.

But after all, you're going out to meet people, so you won't lose face if you dress nicely.

-

Zhou Mingshu named her horse Jinzi.

It has a good meaning and sounds nice. Everyone in my family likes it.

After raising it for a while, it is obvious that it has fewer bones in its body, and the gaps are gradually filled with meat.

This means that the medicine Zhou Mingshu fed it was effective, and the little guy has a good appetite and has been eating actively.

"Eat more, I'll take you to the county town tomorrow."

Zhou Mingshu fed Jinzi carefully and brushed its fur.

Not only do you need to dress neatly, but so do your horses.

Early the next morning, Zhou Mingshu, Qi Rui and others ran towards the county town under the gaze of Old Lady Zhou.

"Mingshu, you've taken good care of this horse. I can see that it's in much better spirits than before. I estimate that after some time, it will be almost like a normal horse."

"Hehe, I think so too, sir. After today's matter is over, can I follow you to the military defense camp? I want your people to help repair Jinzi's horse hoof."

Qi Rui looked at Jin Zi's horseshoe and it was indeed in time for repair.

"Haha, sure. Let's come back earlier this afternoon."

"Uh-huh."

The group didn't walk fast, but they weren't walking slow either.

After leisurely arriving at the county town, I found that there were almost no people on the streets and in the shops.

"Normally there are a lot of people on the street, so today is a good time to come here."

Everyone was busy harvesting, so busy that even the shops were closed.

However, not all of these shops are closed, and many of them are still open to customers.

Qi Rui asked Rufeng to prepare some gifts and they went directly to Magistrate Niu's residence.

County Magistrate Niu was an old acquaintance to Zhou Mingshu, but Zhou Mingshu had never seen the people around him.

Qi Rui introduced it to her quietly, and Zhou Mingshu finally felt relieved.

Magistrate Niu led Qi Rui inside, and Mrs. Niu took Zhou Mingshu's hand and welcomed them inside.

"Seeing is believing. Miss Zhou is really pretty and delicate. She doesn't look like a girl from the countryside at all. She is even inferior to the girls from the city."

No wonder she is the wife of Magistrate Niu. Everything she says is so pleasant to listen to.

Zhou Mingshu smiled and responded, "Thank you for the compliment, Madam. Although I have never met you before, I have imagined you countless times in my mind before coming here. As soon as I saw you, I felt very familiar with you, as if we have known each other for a long time."

Zhou Mingshu also had a clever tongue. His words made Mrs. Niu smile continuously, and the nanny beside her also said auspicious words.

A group of people entered the yard, and Zhou Mingshu observed the surroundings calmly.

The county magistrate's mansion is not too big, but it has rockery, ponds, gardens and corridors. The design is unique and truly worth admiring.

When the few people arrived at the pavilion, Magistrate Niu asked the maid to bring up the tea and cakes that had been prepared early in the morning.

Magistrate Niu and Qi Rui were talking, whether about official business or family matters, and the topic never stopped.

Mrs. Niu, her daughter-in-law and Zhou Mingshu were chatting and drinking tea.

Although it was the first time these women met, they had a lot to talk about.

The scenery in front of you, the clothes on your body, and the fashionable makeup can all be mentioned.

Having said that, Zhou Mingshu took out the things he brought.

"Mrs. Meng, please don't mind. This is the ointment my family makes. It can beautify and nourish the skin. Fresh flowers are added to it, so the fragrance lasts long. When my daughter came, she couldn't think of a good gift, so she brought this ointment."

Zhou Mingshu opened the lid and the floral fragrance overflowed.

Mrs. Niu leaned in to smell it and found that the ointment was really fragrant.

She picked out some with her fingernails and applied it on the back of her hand. The paste was absorbed well.

Her old skin now looked much more moisturized, a change visible to the naked eye, and she was very happy.

"You really have a pair of skillful hands, the ointment you made is really useful."

As soon as she finished speaking, two butterflies flew into the pavilion and landed on her hands.

"Oh my, this has attracted all the butterflies in the garden."

Zhou Mingshu, who was watching from the side, also had a smile on his face.

This little butterfly is so awesome, we really give her face.

Magistrate Niu and Qi Rui stopped and looked at the women next to them.

Their table seemed more lively...

Mrs. Niu's daughter-in-law saw that her mother-in-law had great success with the product, so she also tried to apply some.

"It smells really good. After applying it, my chubby hands will be renamed 'Rou Yi'."

She was also a person who knew how to make jokes. After she said these words, Mrs. Niu and the maids and servants beside her all covered their mouths and laughed.

The group of people rested in the pavilion for a while, then County Magistrate Niu and Qi Rui stood up and walked towards the lake, motioning Zhou Mingshu to follow.

Magistrate Niu told his wife and daughter-in-law not to follow him anymore. As lunch time was approaching, he asked them to go and see if it was ready.

Magistrate Niu was also a shrewd man. He could see that the young general wanted to be alone with Zhou Mingshu.

"Sir, although my lotus pond is small, there are many koi in it. My wife feeds them whenever she has nothing to do. In just a few years, the koi are almost as fat as pigs."

Magistrate Niu sighed as he spoke, and he looked as funny as could be.
