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

"It's not that you didn't let Lian Ye take off my coat, and you complained about it being dirty."

Although Gu Niannian said so, she still stood up obediently and let Bai do whatever she wanted.

"Why, do you want the government to charge you with deceiving the emperor?"

Bai joked

"Mom, you're amazing. Not only have you become prettier in the past two years, but you've also become much bolder. Not only can you PUA Gu Bolele, but you can also make fun of the government."

Gu Niannian was still a little surprised at the changes in her mother. She had been busy with official duties before, but now she found that Bai had changed a lot. At the same time, she also felt that it was the right thing to do to take her mother with her to take up the post.

Mrs. Bai smiled and patted Gu Niannian's buttocks. "Don't make fun of me, mother. In the past year of doing business, you have come into contact with many people. You naturally know what to say to different people."

After taking off his coat, Gu Niannian went back into bed. "It just so happens that today I have an excuse. I don't have to be Gu Bole's obedient son."

Mrs. Bai rolled her eyes at her and said, "If you don't want to go, then don't go. What excuse do you need? Mother is rich now. It's more than enough for her to buy another house of the same size outside."

"But it still won't work. The Holy Dynasty values ​​filial piety the most, so we still have to put in some superficial efforts, even if it means using an excuse."

Gu Niannian tucked her hands and feet into the quilt, with only her head sticking out as she pursed her lips, closed her eyes, and nodded.

“Mother is right.”

"But seriously, who came to your room yesterday? You really have no recollection of it?"

Bai showed a worried look

Gu Niannian tried hard to recall, but still could not come up with a solution. She could only shake her head.

"Alright, if you can't remember, forget it. I'll tell your father that you won't be seeing guests today. You should take a good rest now, as you still have to go to court tomorrow..."

After saying that, Bai went out

"It seems her mother has not only grown bolder, but also has become more impatient, quite impulsive..."

As she was thinking, Gu Niannian fell asleep again.

……

"Master, wake up, eat before you go to sleep, don't be hungry"

Lian Ye came in with a bowl of cold noodles

Gu Niannian opened her eyes dazedly, "What time is it now?"

"It's noon now. You didn't eat the noodles I made yesterday, so I made another bowl. Let's try it."

"You can also make cold noodles!"

Gu Niannian was a little surprised. The cold noodles were sour and spicy, perfect for eating during this autumn's heat.

Lian Ye handed the chopsticks to the young master and said, "I told you yesterday that it was Aunt Li who taught me. It seems that you really don't remember anything."

Lian Ye shook her head helplessly

"You little girl are making fun of the young master..." Gu Niannian said with a smile

Lian Ye stuck out her tongue and said playfully, "Young Master is kind-hearted and will definitely not blame me."

"You! You are becoming more and more lawless now." Gu Niannian tapped Lian Ye's head lightly with chopsticks and said with a smile.

"Master, eat quickly! Otherwise it will get cold..." Lian Ye realized that he seemed to have said something strange

"Oh, no, cold noodles are supposed to be cold."

Lian Ye scratched his head.

Gu Niannian picked up a chopstick of noodles and put it into her mouth

"Hmm! It's delicious, spicy, fresh and fragrant. Not bad. It seems that it is the true teaching of Aunt Li."

"I don't have any other hobbies except cooking. Ever since I learned how to make crispy pork belly from Aunt Li, I've noticed she has more than just that much skill. During my time in Qingshan County, I've been going to Aunt Li's house from time to time to ask for advice, but I've only learned the basics. I'm still a long way from matching Aunt Li's skills!"

"You girl, now I praise you and you are being modest."

Lian Ye smiled embarrassedly and said, "As long as the young master likes it."

Gu Niannian finished the noodles in the bowl in just a few bites. Due to her busy schedule these years, she has practiced eating much faster.

Lian Ye couldn't help but say when she saw it, "Eat slowly, Master. There's nothing else for you to deal with right now..."

Gu Niannian took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth, "I'm used to it"

There are no paper towels here, but each person is given several handkerchiefs. However, they are still not as convenient as paper towels. You can just throw them away after wiping, while handkerchiefs need to be washed after wiping something dirty.

"Is anyone visiting today?"

"Of course there are, but the people who came to visit today were not as powerful and wealthy as Master Gu San. The master felt bad about it, so he just sent someone to ask and never came again."

"Well, pack up and prepare for court tomorrow."

"By the way, the old lady said it's too dangerous for you to be alone, so she arranged two secret guards to protect you in the dark."

Lian Ye clapped his hands and said, "Shadow Five, Shadow Six, come out and meet the Young Master!"

Two men in black fell from the sky

Shadow Five

Shadow Six

"I've met the young master"

Gu Niannian was very upset. "Mom is too cautious. She even uses secret guards."

But Bai was thinking about her safety after all, and Gu Niannian naturally understood, "This is what it feels like to have a mother who cares about you. It's so good!"

"Alright! We've seen it all, so go back!"

With a swish, there was no trace of the man in black in front of Gu Niannian.

“This is amazing!”

Gu Niannian exclaimed

"Where did my mother find it?"

"I don't know," Lian Ye answered honestly. As a maid, how could she dare to ask about the old lady's affairs?

……

On the second day, Gu Niannian got up early and put on her official uniform.

Lian Ye was waiting at the door. When the young master came out, he asked, "Young master, are you going to take a carriage or a horse today?"

"Ride a horse, faster, the county government office is still a little distance from here."

The groom brought a chestnut horse. The horse was not big, just the right size for Gu Niannian, and it looked docile. "The old lady prepared it in advance."

Gu Niannian touched the horse. Ever since she learned to ride a horse, she would ride a horse whenever she went to far places. Firstly, it was fast, and secondly, the more she rode, the more addicted she became.

Just like when you first learn to drive, your hands always itch to drive.

She just could never find a horse that matched her size. Either the horses were too big and suitable for men to ride, or the foals were too small and suitable for children of thirteen or fourteen years old, which were too small for her.

So seeing this chestnut horse today is like finally owning a car that suits me and belongs to me completely. I like it very much.

"No one knows a child better than his mother!"

Gu Niannian sighed, climbed onto the horse, squeezed her legs together, and drove...

Following them were two black figures

Gu Niannian arrived at the government office, dismounted, and looked at the plaque in front of her that read "Lin'an Public Office." She couldn't help but sigh, "This is really different under the capital. Even the county government office is majestic and grand."

As soon as Gu Niannian entered the yamen, she saw several familiar faces. They were the county lieutenant and yamen runners who had gone to Gu Niannian's home to deliver the good news of her appointment more than two years ago.

The county lieutenant was about forty years old. His surname was Wu and his name was Jianmin. He had a beard and looked quite serious.

Wu Jianmin bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Excellency the County Magistrate."

Gu Niannian returned the gift, "I am a humble person with limited knowledge. Since we have only just met, I hope you will give me guidance in the future."

"I don't deserve your guidance. The County Magistrate is young and promising. We have all heard of your achievements in Qingshan County. You don't have to be so modest..."

Gu Niannian said this to test whether the county lieutenant supported her work, but from the tone of his voice, it was unclear whether the county lieutenant supported her work or not! Gu Niannian was confused for a moment.

If you support me, I should say that I am doing things for the people. If you need me, I will do my best.

Could it be that he wanted to test himself first to see if he really had the ability?
