After traveling through time, she still led the villagers to make money as a county magistrate

In ancient times, the man and woman did not meet face to face. Usually, the man would go to the woman's home under the pretext of visiting her to find out what she wanted.

So why did Li Jing go to see the bride?

"It all started from the day Li Jing and his mother finished their dinner."

Seeing that her son was always absent-minded, Li's mother guessed that he was thinking about something or someone.

She decided to ask directly. After all, she would not do such a thing as to match people up randomly. As long as the girl had good character, it would be fine even if her family was poor or she was from a farming family.

After each meal, the mother and son would stay in the yard for a quarter of an hour to digest their food.

Li's mother often said, "Take a hundred steps after a meal, and you will live to be ninety-nine."

When he was little, Li Jing always followed his mother and had to jog to catch up.

Now the situation is reversed, and Li's mother has to speed up to keep up with her son.

Mother Li caught up with her son's thoughts and wanted to speak, but she didn't know how to say it.

Li Jing saw his mother hesitated to speak, "Mom, just say whatever you want to say, and ask whatever you want to ask!"

Mother Li patted her son's shoulder and laughed, "You are indeed my son. Even if I fart, you know what it smells like."

Li Jing is no longer surprised to hear such vulgar words spoken to his mother.

Mother Li, "Just tell me straight, do you have a crush on someone?"

Li Jing paused. "He had never dared to think about it. Now that his mother had pointed it out, Gu Niannian's face, her every frown and smile, and the scene of their first meeting appeared in his mind..."

"His sweetheart is actually a man. And he's his boss?" Li Jing finally realized that he had fallen in love with his boss.

"If I tell my mother, she'll worry for no reason. If the county magistrate finds out, it might affect my future endeavors."

Thinking of this, Li Jing shook his head and said, "No, mother, the girl from the Xie family you mentioned last time, we can make an appointment to meet her."

Zhu Zhu, the mistress of the Xie family, is a close friend of Li's mother, and the two have known each other since childhood.

Of course, the children who are a few years old know what the situation is between the two families. Xie Zhiyao's mother Li has seen her, and she likes such lively and lovely girls.

Besides, Xie Zhiyao looks almost like her mother, and Mother Li likes him very much every time she sees him.

She had always wanted to bring them together, but her son was a blockhead and didn't understand.

I originally wanted to give up. After all, girls definitely can't wait. Their youth is only a few years. After they reach the age of 15, they have to start looking for a date. If they meet a good one, it's almost settled.

……

Xie Mansion

Zhu Zhu, "Hey, how come you have time to come and see me, your old sister?"

Mother Li raised her eyebrows and said, "I miss you."

Zhu Zhu waved his hands hurriedly, "No, let's talk about what we have to say, don't make this a scene"

Li's mother was also straightforward and went straight to the point, "Your daughter hasn't found anyone yet, right?"

"I have two daughters. The younger one is only ten years old. It's still early!"

Mother Li: "Where's the big one?"

"Zhiyao!" Zhu Zhu deliberately slowed down his speech and kept the other person in suspense.

"I also told her to look at me..."

"That means you haven't chosen one yet!" Li's mother said thankfully.

Mother Li said, "I have a son who is a bit of a blockhead. I need a matchmaker to help the two children get together."

Zhu Zhu, "I haven't heard you say you want to match the two children before, why are you so anxious today?

"If I remember correctly, your precious son is already 22 years old, right?"

Zhu Zhu pretended to be disgusted and said, "Yao'er is only seventeen. Isn't the age difference between the two a bit too big?"

"Isn't that what you often say about the big age gap? What will happen?"

Li's mother, "generation gap"

Zhu Zhu clapped his hands and said, "Yes, generation gap."

"No, no, older men are more compassionate," Li's mother shook her head.

"Besides, Jing'er's age was falsely reported by two years."

Zhu Zhu, "You lied about your child's age by two years... You are such a cruel mother!"

Mother Li sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it. You know, we have to avoid being seen."

Zhu Zhu, "Is that person still looking for you?"

Mother Li said, "The inspections were very strict in the first few years after Jing'er was born. I had no choice. I didn't dare to go to the government office to register Jing'er until he was three years old, but I reported him as five years old."

"It's a good thing Jing'er doesn't look like him, he looks more like me."

Zhu Zhu said, "You are so brave! You dared to let your son become an official and become the county magistrate right under my nose."

Mother Li said, "I didn't think about it that way. I just wanted them to study for a few years so they can start a business in the future and we can have a way to make a living."

"Who knew he would study like his life depended on it, wishing he could be a bookworm? He passed the exams with flying colors. In the end, I had to threaten him with death to stop him. He only chose to be a county magistrate in this place. Otherwise, he could have become the top scholar. He was under his nose every day, so it would have been difficult to find him."

"But it's okay now, the light is dark"

"In this small county town, my mother and I have a place to live, so we won't be bullied."

Mother Li said, "Oh, stop talking about me and talk about serious matters. I'm here for a blind date for my son."

"It's rare for him to ask me to find him a wife, so as a mother, I have to do my best."

Zhu Zhu, "Oh, that's not what you said before. You said that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, and if you don't have children and grandchildren, you will enjoy the happiness. Whether they get married or not is their business, you don't care."

"Are you laughing at me? That was all in the past. Back then, we weren't married yet, and we didn't have a child. I was definitely focused on myself. Now that I have a child, my mood will be different." Mother Li's eyes were gentle.

Zhu Zhu, "Yes! After having a child, I have endless worries. I am always worried about them."

Mother Li said, "I still miss our carefree teenage years. But things are not bad now. You have a happy family with many children. I stay away from scumbags and my son is filial..."

"Son, my son is still waiting for us in the lobby! Look, he forgot to talk to you." Mother Li suddenly thought of

Zhu Zhu straightened his clothes and said seriously, "Let's go! Let's go see your precious son."

"But let me make it clear first, whether it can be successful depends on the two children's wishes. I can't do things that are arranged by parents and matchmakers."

Mother Li said, "Of course. You're saying that as if I'm some pedantic person."

Zhu Zhu walked over and took Li's mother's arm, saying with a smile, "Of course not, otherwise how could we have such similar interests?"

The two smiled at each other and walked to the lobby together.

Li Jing's appearance was the kind that elders liked, he was respectful and polite, and he was also the son of a close friend. Zhu Zhu was naturally very satisfied and relieved.

This is finished.

Zhu Zhu called out to his son Xie Feixing, "Xing'er, take Jing'er out for a walk while I chat with your aunt."

……

Xie Feixing had seen Li's mother several times, but Li Jing had never been here. She looked at the man in front of her. He was eight feet tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked very imposing. Could it be that he was here for her younger sister to see?

The more Xie Feixing thought about it, the more likely it seemed. There had been men who came to her house before, but they had always been sent away by her mother. But this time, she actually let me take him around. It seemed that her mother was satisfied.

Xie Feixing's mind was racing and he didn't pay attention to the stone under his feet. He was about to fall down and make close contact with the ground.

The expected pain didn't come, his arm was pulled, and he was straightened up. He was standing on the ground.

"Not bad, quick reaction and great strength, one point added." Two little men appeared in Xie Feixing's mind, one was Li Jing and the other was County Magistrate Gu. One point was added to Li Jing's score.

"Look at the road." Li Jing spoke these two words with no warmth, carefully considering the words as precious as gold.

After saying that, he walked forward alone. Xie Feixing caught up with his pace and said, "You...don't walk so fast, you'll get lost."

Li Jing, "I remember every road I've walked"

Xie Feixing, "What, you want to go out?"

Li Jing: "Yeah"

Xie Feixing blocked his way and said, "No, my mother asked me to take you around. What will happen if you leave alone?"

"Besides, your mother is still in there, why don't you wait for her?"

Li Jing looked at the man in front of him who was half a head shorter than him and spoke in a childish manner. He wanted to laugh. "I'll go out for a walk and be back soon."

Xie Feixing didn't know what had happened to him, and said angrily, "No, I must do what I promised my mother. Either I go out with you, or you walk around the house with me."

Li Jing didn't expect to meet such an unreasonable person. With a somewhat displeased tone, he blurted out two words, "Whatever you say."

After saying that, he walked straight towards the door, with Xie Feixing following closely behind.

Li Jing always felt that if he didn't go to the yamen that day, he would have lost something.

Xie's house was not far from the government office, and it would only take Li Jing a quarter of an hour to get there on foot.

He simply walked directly to the county government office to take a look. This made Xie Feixing very tired. He had to walk and run at the same time. Fortunately, his endurance was not bad after traveling around in the past few years. He was not left behind.

But when he looked up and saw the two big words "County Office", he quickly grabbed Li Jing's arm and said, "Brother, I'm just following my mother's orders. There's no need for you to come to the County Office to sue me!"

Li Jing took Xie Feixing's hand away from his arm and said, "I'm not that free."

He pushed the door open and walked in. When the bailiff was about to close the door, Li Jing stopped him and said, "There's someone else."

Gu Niannian was surprised to see Li Jing coming back. "Why are you back? Didn't you say you were going to see someone?"

"how?"

Li Jing didn't need to guess, it must have been Zhang Da, the big mouth, who said it. Zhang Da also lowered his head and said nothing, feeling guilty.

Li Jing blurted out two words, "OK"

Xie Feixing didn't hear the sound of "There's someone else?" He was looking around, wondering whether he should go in. Finally, he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, "I've already met the county magistrate, so why are you afraid to go into the county government office?"

"Walk"

As soon as he entered, he heard Li Jing's words "It's OK", which made him very angry. "He is Xie Feixing's sister, and he just dismissed her with a word of "It's OK"?"

He immediately sneered, "Lord Li, there is no need to force it. Not everyone is interested in the daughter of my Xie family."

After hearing their conversation, Xie Feixing guessed that Li Jing should also be a servant in this government office, so he called him "Sir Li".

Gu Niannian saw that the person was none other than Xie Feixing from Xie's pharmacy, the one who had given her the chili peppers. Plus, Li Jing's word "okay" meant it was quite okay. How could anyone's family not be angry after hearing that? So she comforted him, "I, the county magistrate, am not good at speaking. I have also seen the girl from the Xie family. She is the best girl. It will be a blessing for whoever's family she marries into."

This sentence smoothed out Xie Feixing's anger. Like a victorious rooster, he glanced at Li Jing and said, "Look, the county magistrate is on my side. Didn't expect that?"

Li Jing's mind was buzzing. What did that sentence mean? I am from his family. Why was he a little happy?

He lowered his head and was secretly ecstatic, completely unaware of Xie Feixing's provocation.
