I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

Wang Gang immediately took out two packets of Daluo tea from his arms and brewed them. The fragrance spread, and the old man's eyes widened instantly.

"It's worthy of being the Daluo Tea that's famous in the imperial capital. It's good, really good."

"Uncle, don't just drink. Tell me the solution." Jiang Yuan asked impatiently.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry. Young people still need to practice their temper." The old man ignored him. After drinking a cup of Daluo tea, he watched Qiuyue dancing leisurely.

At this time, Bai Jingyun, who had been fascinated by the scene for a long time, finally came back to his senses. He glanced casually behind him. After just one glance, Bai Jingyun's body stiffened in place, and even some cold sweat began to appear on his forehead.

"Oh, young master, you are here too." Without waiting for Bai Jingyun to speak, the old man took the lead to greet him.

Bai Jingyun was stunned for a moment, then he said with trembling lips: "Lao Bai, you, why are you here?"

Jiang Yuan showed a disdainful look. He was just going to a brothel. Was there any need to be so scared?

You are the eldest son of the Bai family!

"Well, I came out for a walk and accidentally ran into you. I wonder if you are satisfied with your visit?" The old man looked at Bai Jingyun with a smile.

Bai Jingyun took a deep breath and stood up: "Take a look, I think it's almost done, we can go back."

Jiang Yuan was baffled. "Are you really that cowardly? Why don't you just tell this old man to get out?"

But seeing that Bai Jingyun was about to leave, Jiang Yuan didn't know what to say and could only follow the two of them out of Shangyan Pavilion.

"Well, Brother Jiang, let's go meet my sister together." Bai Jingyun said in a low voice.

Jiang Yuan suddenly perked up, the real boss had arrived.

As long as the girl from the Bai family breaks off the engagement, then my good days will come.

"Okay, lead the way."

The group rushed to Taiping Inn without stopping. The owner was about to say hello when Jiang Yuan gave him a look and sent him away.

The group went straight to the private room. There were only four people in the room at the moment, Jiang Yuan, Wang Gang, Bai Jingyun, and Old Bai, who looked like a butler.

Without Jiang Yuan saying anything, the shopkeeper had already sent someone to serve the dishes.

Not long after, various dishes such as chicken, fish, meat, and eggs were served on the table. Lao Bai's nose twitched slightly, and he picked up his chopsticks without hesitation: "Well, no need to wait, let's eat first."

As he said this, he actually picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Jiang Yuan was completely dumbfounded. He looked at Bai Jingyun.

Isn’t your Bai family’s butler of such a high status?

Bai Jingyun smiled bitterly, lowered his head and said nothing. Seeing this, Jiang Yuan was no longer polite and called on Wang Gang to join in the fight.

"Wang Gang, bring the dish over to my end, and Lao Bai, pass me a cup."

"How can we have a meal without wine? Wang Gang, go ask the shopkeeper to bring out the century-old wine I have in stock!"

"Jingyun, why don't you eat? Eat!" Jiang Yuan called out to Bai Jingyun while stuffing meat into his mouth.

Old Bai glanced at Bai Jingyun indifferently without saying a word, and started to fight with Jiang Yuan for the meat.

It can be said that except for Bai Jingyun, the other three enjoyed the meal very much.

"Hey, this is so strange. The pork here is so delicious and has no strange smell at all!" Lao Bai exclaimed while picking up a piece of meat with chopsticks.

Jiang Yuan took a sip of water and explained, "This is a big secret of our Taiping County. You can't eat it anywhere else except here!"

The four of them ate for a long time, but Miss Bai still didn't show up. Jiang Yuan and the other two leaned back in their chairs and drank the century-old wine happily.

"Good wine! Strong!" Lao Bai said with a red face and a sticking tongue.

Jiang Yuan smiled proudly: "Of course not, I spent a lot of effort to steal this from Mr. Zhang's house... I bought it."

Bai Jingyun looked at Jiang Yuan with a frown on his face. How dare you be so proud of yourself for stealing something?

Even after eating and drinking, the eldest daughter of the Bai family still showed no intention of showing up. Jiang Yuan was a little confused about what the Bai family meant.

Bai Jingyun was not arrogant or domineering, or perhaps he was not arrogant in front of himself.

But it doesn't seem like he came here sincerely to marry his daughter. How could the girl not show up even after the meal?

Just as Jiang Yuan was guessing, there was a knock on the door. After Bai Jingyun said "Come in", two beautiful figures pushed the door open.

Jiang Yuan's attention was immediately attracted by one of the figures.

She was 1.7 meters tall, wearing a spotless green dress, and a veil on her face, which added a bit of hazy beauty.

As for the others, they were wearing too much and Jiang Yuan couldn't see clearly.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang." Bai Wei said softly.

"Hello, Miss Bai." Jiang Yuan nodded slowly, then crossed his legs and started picking his teeth with a toothpick. If he wanted to be broken off, he had to take action.

Young people should dare to think and act!

But to Jiang Yuan's surprise, everyone in the Bai family looked normal, and there was not even a trace of dissatisfaction on their faces.

"Well, how about we talk about business?" Jiang Yuan couldn't hold his temper and took the initiative to bring up the topic.

Bai Wei nodded slowly: "Well, Mr. Jiang is twenty-five this year, it's time to get married."

After hearing this, Jiang Yuan was dumbfounded.

What the hell is this? Why don't you follow the routine?

My family has fallen on hard times now, and I'm just a small county magistrate. Why don't you cancel the engagement?

"Miss Bai, you still need to consider your lifelong affairs carefully!"

"Although I'm quite old now, and only an eighth-rank county magistrate, and I'm afraid this is the rest of my life, this is not a reason for us to get married."

Bai Wei looked at Jiang Yuan with a hint of smile in her eyes.

Okay, okay, let’s play like this, right?

"Mr. Jiang, it's the matchmaker's words and your parents' orders. Please follow your parents' wishes and choose a day to get married." Lao Bai also started to cheer.

Bai Jingyun even leaned directly on Jiang Yuan's shoulder and whispered, "Stop pretending. We sent someone to investigate before we came here."

Jiang Yuan stood there in a daze as if struck by lightning. It seemed like a group of people were watching him act.

However, other people's spies have figured out exactly what these people in Taiping County are doing.

I will definitely settle the score with these guys later.

Just as Jiang Yuan was pondering how to start, Bai Wei spoke softly, "Young Master once said jokingly that if my Bai family canceled the engagement, we would at least give you several million taels of silver as compensation..."

Seeing that the conversation was getting out of control, Jiang Yuan quickly interrupted, "You can give less, or even a few hundred thousand. We can negotiate. It's all about bargaining. If you can't agree, you can make a counteroffer first."

The smile in Bai Wei's eyes turned into anger. What? Am I so unbearable? Would you rather take hundreds of thousands of taels of silver than take me?

You want money, right? Will my Bai family be short of money?

"As the eldest daughter of the Bai family, according to the Bai family rules, I must give one-tenth of the Bai family's assets as a dowry."

Jiang Yuan covered his head and lay on the table.

This is not about money at all. He and these people do not live in the same era, and they have nothing in common.

At this moment, Bai Wei slowly approached and whispered, "You probably don't know yet, but since you came to Taiping County, every month, a letter about you has been written down and placed in front of me."

"I know everything you do!"

Jiang Yuan trembled all over and almost fell to the ground.
