"You are too polite, Master Qu. It is my honor to save you."

It would be a lie for Lin to say he wasn't excited. He didn't expect that he had saved the county magistrate's life unintentionally.

"Mrs. Lin, please sit in the hall!"

Qu Yuanxun took several people to the hall behind the county government office and had them served tea.

"Yuanxun, Master Lin and the others want to see you for something. Please help them quickly. I'm still waiting for Master Lin to teach me."

Wan Weiran was not polite to Qu Yuanxun at all, he couldn't wait for class to start.

"Mrs. Lin, please tell me what it is. I cannot do anything that is against the law."

Qu Yuanxun said jokingly as he raised his hand to invite Lin Ting to have some tea with them.

"Master Qu, this is about my family's house construction. My village chief will explain it to you more clearly."

Even if Lin Ting knew the county magistrate, the matter of building a house in the vegetable field should have been discussed by the village chief. Interfering in other people's affairs is a big taboo in social etiquette.

When the village chief saw the county magistrate looking at him, he immediately stood up and handed Shen Qingzhou's application for a vegetable plot to Qu Yuanxun.

"Sir, I am Li Xinrong, the head of Wushan Village. The Shen family of Wushan Village has been divided, but Shen Dali's lineage has no house, so we want to use a vegetable plot on the edge of the village as a foundation.

My last application was not approved, so I am bothering you again this time."

After Qu Yuanxun and the village chief learned more about the situation, he understood.

"Village Chief, please take a seat. I approve this matter."

Qu Yuanxun called out to the door, "Come here, give this to the old chief clerk and have him immediately approve a land use document for the Shen Dali family in Wushan Village."

A yamen runner took the order and went to get all the certificates for Lin Ting in a short time. The speed was so fast that even the village chief had not expected it.

"Thank you, Master Qu!"

After finishing the work, Lin Ting stood up and bowed to Qu Yuanxun to express his gratitude.

Wan Weiran asked the driver to take the village chief back to Wushan Village first, but he naturally couldn't miss the lesson that Lin Ting had promised to give him.

When he came to Wanhe Hall again, Wan Weiran had tidied the room where Lin Ting taught him very well, and even made a blackboard to make it easier for Lin Ting to explain to him.

"Master Lin, you said you would give me an extra lesson today, you can't go back on your word."

It’s not that Wan Weiran can’t afford to pay Lin Ting, but no matter how much money he has, it can’t buy him a lesson from Lin Ting.

"I will do what I say, but I will also check how well you've learned and whether you can become a disciple."

"Don't worry, Master Lin. I remember every word you said."

"Okay, today's lesson will start with the Guanyuan acupoint we talked about last time..."

Lin Ting was told about the use of Guanyuan acupoint and the diseases that can be treated.

After talking about Guanyuan acupoint, half an inch above is Shimen acupoint, and above Shimen is Yinjiao acupoint.

"This Yinjiao point, where the Shaoyin and Chong meridians meet, is often used to treat women's diseases.

It's easier to find one inch below the Shenque point, which is the belly button of the human body. If you can't find this point, there's no point in learning acupuncture."

Lin Ting was teaching Wan Weiran here, while a man with disheveled hair and rapid breathing appeared at the county government office.

Shen Jizu almost ran over. He originally wanted to borrow an ox cart from the village chief, but the village chief always hated people with bad character, and Jiang Lan refused to lend it to him this time.

"Young man, please go and inform the old chief clerk that Shen Jizu from Wushan Village is looking for him."

The yamen runner took a step back in disgust, staying away from the sweaty and smelly Shen Jizu.

"Alright, alright, wait until the old clerk is done with his work, then you can go see him."

The county government office is not a place that anyone can enter, and people like Shen Jizu are even less allowed to enter.

"Thank you, brother."

Shen Jizu waited anxiously for an hour before he was summoned by the old chief clerk.

In the archive room, the old clerk, with white hair and over 70 years old, was organizing the files day and night and preparing for the handover.

"Shen Jizu, I've already written a recommendation for you to the county magistrate. If nothing unexpected happens, you'll be taking over my position next month. What else do you want?"

The old chief clerk once fell down while he was out. It was dark at that time. It was Shen Jizu who came across and saved him, otherwise he might have died long ago.

As far as he was concerned, he owed Shen Jizu a favor, and this time he helped him strongly recommend Shen Jizu to the county magistrate to be the chief clerk, which was also a way of repaying him the favor. From then on, the two of them would have nothing to do with each other.

"Old Chief Clerk, I'm here for this very matter. Was there a woman from Wushan Village who came to the county government office this morning to cause trouble, and did she even involve me?"

Shen Jizu spent dozens of taels of silver to be able to stand in front of the old chief clerk again and ask for his help out of kindness. If this opportunity was lost.

He lost his chance to work in the county government, which was the hope of his whole family.

"There were no troublemakers, but the county magistrate received three people. In the middle of the process, they brought me a document for rebuilding the vegetable field foundation and asked me to stamp it. The applicant was Shen Dali, who is also from Wushan Village."

Fortunately, he was not here to ruin his career, but just to apply for building a house.

"No, Chief Registrar, you stamped it so easily. That's a vegetable plot. It must have taken a month or two to review and approve it."

The old chief clerk glared at Shen Jizu with a squint. How could this man be so stupid? I told him that those people were received by the county magistrate in person, but he still didn't understand?

"Those people met directly with the county magistrate. I never had the chance to meet them. You can check the matter of the county magistrate's nod."

Lin Ting thought they were going directly to see the county magistrate. How did she know the county magistrate?

Even though Shen Jizu had lived in Wenzhu County for so long, he had never met the county magistrate. How could Lin Ting bypass the old chief clerk and directly ask the county magistrate to approve her family's house construction?

"Shen Jizu, now is the critical moment in the competition for the position of Chief Clerk. If you offend the people on the Lord's side at this time,

Don't think you can take my position just by relying on my words."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

After running to the county government office with all his strength, Shen Jizu could only nod and leave cautiously after hearing such news.

From then on, he was weighed down by the fact that Lin Ting could go directly to the county magistrate. Even if he became the chief clerk in the future, he could not easily offend Lin Ting.

After teaching Wan Weiran, it was already afternoon. Before going home, she planned to buy some food.

Wan Weiran followed Lin Ting all the way back. He kept reviewing the acupoint knowledge points that Lin Ting taught him. If he didn't understand something, he would ask Lin Ting a few questions.

When Lin Ting went shopping, he followed. When Lin Ting went forward, he went forward, and when Lin Ting went backward, he went backward.

He followed until he had bought everything he needed.

Today, Lin Ting earned another thirty taels of silver from Wan Weiran, and she still had more than fifty taels of silver on her.

She planned to buy some more paper, pens, and the four treasures of the study to teach Shen Wanyi. Anyway, Shen Qingzhou was no longer needed to make money, so it would be nice to keep him at home to teach Shen Wanyi.

Outside Wenfangzhai is the busiest street in Wenzhu County. Lin Ting stopped and his eyes fell on a man and a woman on the street.

The woman twisted her body, looking seductive and charming, and the man was her brother-in-law Li Ergou.
