Magistrate Zheng was seen wearing a navy blue official uniform. Although the uniform was not extremely luxurious, it was neat and crisp.
The neckline is embroidered with exquisite cloud patterns, highlighting the identity.
His every move and gesture revealed the bearing and demeanor of an official, as if he had an invisible aura that instantly lowered the noise of the crowd and focused all their attention on him.
Suddenly a man in official uniform came and startled the people who were having a feast in the courtyard.
For a moment, no one understood the situation.
Xiao Yunfei and Su Miaomiao stood up without saying a word and went to greet him. When they got closer, they recognized that the man was none other than County Magistrate Zheng, whom they had met when they first came to Ningguta.
Before they could speak, Cui Fangzheng passed by them quickly like a gust of wind, walked quickly to the front of County Magistrate Zheng, straightened his clothes, and bowed respectfully.
"I pay my respects to the Holy Lord. May your Majesty be well. I did not know that you were coming, and I am sorry for not coming to greet you. I hope you will forgive me."
"No problem. I am here in person to present you with a plaque of honor. This is to commend the outstanding achievements of a certain wise man in your village, so that his good deeds can be made known and become a role model for everyone."
Magistrate Zheng had a loud voice, and his words happened to be heard by many villagers around him, causing everyone who were busy standing up and bowing to discuss in secret.
"Hey, did you hear that? Did I hear it right?"
"I heard it too. The elder master is the county magistrate. He said he came to present a plaque, and it must be for Yunfei and his wife."
"The county magistrate actually came in person to present the plaque. This is the first time I have seen this in my entire life."
"Who isn't? I'm already over 70 years old, and this is the first time I've seen anything like this."
"Thanks to Yunfei and his wife, we have finally met the county magistrate. So this is what he looks like."
......
Su Miaomiao and Xiao Yunfei rushed over and just happened to hear County Magistrate Zheng say that he was here to present a plaque, and they immediately felt less uneasy.
Anyway, as long as it's not a bad thing.
The villagers, along with Xiao Yunfei and Su Miaomiao, saluted County Magistrate Zheng.
Magistrate Zheng smiled, raised his hand and motioned for everyone to stand up, and spoke loudly.
"Today I heard that you two are happy to build a new house, so I came here to congratulate you. And I came here for another thing, which is to bring a plaque to give to you two."
After saying this, County Magistrate Zheng made a gesture, and two yamen runners walked forward steadily, carrying a plaque covered with red silk.
Magistrate Zheng personally unveiled the red silk, and on the plaque were written four big characters: "Benefiting the Neighbors".
The handwriting is strong and powerful, shining brightly in the sun.
County Magistrate Zheng continued, "You two have worked tirelessly in this village, introducing multifunctional micro-tillage machines and new business opportunities, which have led to the flourishing of our rural trade and improved the lives of our neighbors. The development of Fengtou Village, where you two are, has leapt ahead of all the surrounding villages. The speed is so fast that I am amazed."
"This achievement will be remembered by me and the villagers. This plaque is the recognition from the court and me to you two. I give this plaque to you. I hope you will continue to work hard to benefit the villagers and set an example for the county."
The county magistrate handed the plaque to Su Miaomiao and Xiao Yunfei with both hands.
Su Miaomiao hurriedly pulled Xiao Yunfei forward, respectfully took the plaque, and spoke in unison.
"Your Excellency's kindness, we two will do our best to live up to your expectations and the expectations of our fellow villagers."
After saying this, he hung the plaque high above the main hall.
There was thunderous applause at the scene. After giving the villagers some instructions, County Magistrate Zheng told everyone to go back and continue eating.
Then, he turned to face Su Miaomiao and Xiao Yunfei, and said with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"I heard that Madam Su is a great cook. I came here today and I really want to have a meal. Is that possible?"
Su Miaomiao was slightly startled, then smiled.
"It is an honor for me that you can come. I hope you will not despise my simple food."
Su Miaomiao originally wanted to invite County Magistrate Zheng to dinner, but she didn't expect that County Magistrate Zheng spoke before her.
There just happened to be a table of food that no one had touched.
The weather was hot and the food was not cold, so it was just right for County Magistrate Zheng and several yamen runners to prepare that table.
Su Miaomiao invited County Magistrate Zheng and others to sit at the table in the northeast corner.
County Magistrate Zheng's eyes lit up when he saw the table full of dishes.
The dishes on the plate were colorful and fragrant.
Not only that, he was also surprised by the luxury of the dishes.
He had heard that Xiao Yunfei's family was well off, but he didn't expect them to be so wealthy.
He took a quick look before sitting down and saw that there were at least thirty or forty tables in the courtyard.
He visited suddenly today, and Su Miaomiao and Xiao Yunfei had no chance to prepare in advance, so the dishes on these thirty or forty tables were the same as his.
As the county magistrate, he couldn't even imagine how much money so many tables of food would cost.
"Since you have condescended to do this, I, a peasant woman, will serve you personally. I hope you will not refuse."
Su Miaomiao spoke respectfully, but County Magistrate Zheng waved his hand and said.
"You're welcome. I'm not used to being waited on. If you don't mind, you can sit down too. Let's eat together?"
The county magistrate invited them to have dinner together, so how could they dare to refuse?
"Thank you, it's our pleasure."
Su Miaomiao and Xiao Yunfei quickly agreed and sat down next to the county magistrate.
The dishes on the table were so tempting that County Magistrate Zheng became impatient. He looked up at the yamen runners who came with him.
"Now that you're out there, there aren't so many rules. It's rare to see so many delicious meals, so you guys can sit down too."
The yamen runners could not hide the joy on their faces after hearing this, and after thanking the county magistrate, they quickly sat down one by one.
Cui Fangzheng saw that everyone had sat down and he was the only one left standing there awkwardly, not knowing whether to leave or stay.
He was worrying about what to do, and Xiao Yunfei came up to help him.
"Zheng County Magistrate, our village hasn't eaten yet, how about letting him join us?"
After these words were spoken, Cui Fangzheng quickly waved his hands and nodded.
"No, Your Excellency is above me. I, with my status and position, dare not sit at the same table with you."
Hearing this, County Magistrate Zheng raised his head and acted as if he had just seen Cui Fangzheng, and spoke with a kind face.
"This county has always valued talents and abilities. You have made great contributions to the village. Today we are gathered together to discuss official business. Regardless of status, please sit down and talk."
County Magistrate Zheng pointed to the seat next to him and Cui Fangzheng immediately felt flattered.
He never expected that he, a small village head, would one day be able to sit at the same table and eat with the county magistrate.
For him, this was recognition from the county magistrate and the greatest honor.
There are so many villages in the county, and he is probably the only village head who can sit down and have dinner with County Magistrate Zheng.
All of this is thanks to Xiao Yunfei and his wife.
Things that he had never dared to dream of before have now come true, and he is getting better.
Seeing Cui Fangzheng sitting down, everyone was at the table.
County Magistrate Zheng started eating quickly.
He first picked up a piece of braised pork elbow, put it in his mouth and took a light bite.
"Hmm~"
