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

"If I can't be a warm man, I can be a dark and cold man. I don't believe I can't win her over."

After saying this, Li's mother laughed to herself.

Li Jing's mouth twitched, "Is this... mother really reliable? Why does she feel so creepy?"

Li's mother ignored his expression and continued to pick out clothes, her brows furrowing more and more. "Your clothes... well, there are not many clothes that are good looking. Besides your official uniform, you only have two or three sets of casual clothes, and they are all gray."

Li Jing said aggrievedly, "Mom, didn't you buy all these?"

Mother Li touched the tip of her nose and argued cunningly, "You didn't go to the clothing store with me, so I could only pick up a few pieces at random. Besides, gray clothes are easy to wash and stain-resistant, don't you understand?"

Normally, Li Jing didn't have time to wear his own girls' clothes. He was on duty every day and wore official uniform most of the time. He didn't care. He would wear it if he had clothes to wear, and he would wear official uniform if he had nothing to wear.

The official uniform was so washed that it turned a little white. Anyone who saw it would have to praise Lord Li for his diligence.

"Okay, go with me today to buy some clothes that fit you." Mother Li took the clothes from her son's hand, looked at them with disdain and said, "We don't want these clothes anymore."

"How can you just throw away good clothes like that?"

Li Jing looked at the clothes in front of him with regret. After all, these clothes had accompanied him for so many days and nights. It was not because of the money, but mainly because they had been together for such a long time and he was somewhat reluctant to part with them.

Li's mother thought her son was stingy with money. She always told him that she raised him by doing laundry and never mentioned the two thousand taels. She did this so that her son would learn to be grateful since childhood and realize that money is not something that can be blown by the wind.

Seeing him like this, she felt a little guilty. She reached out and grabbed the purse at her waist, shaking it. The silver and copper coins inside collided with each other, making a clanging sound.

He raised his eyebrows and said, "We have money now."

Showing off the nouveau riche temperament

The herbal medicine shop opened, targeting those families with some financial resources. Li's mother provided manpower but no capital, and the dividends distributed to her were all pure profits, so she made a lot of money.

Li Jing was embarrassed and pulled his mother, "Let's go buy some clothes."

When he was little, Li Jing asked his mother, "Why do other people's clothes have their own mothers make them, but he buys them ready-made at a clothing store?"

Because of this, Li Jing had an argument with his classmates when he was in school. His classmates laughed at his mother for not liking him and not making clothes for him. At that time, little Li Jing had resentment towards his mother, so he went home and told her about it.

Mother Li took his small hand, squatted down, and patiently explained, "No one is perfect. I already have a super skill, which is cooking, but I have to accept that I can't sew clothes. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Do you want a mother who can cook delicious food or a mother who can sew clothes?"

Little Li Jing thought about it seriously, and after a while he answered, "If I have to choose, I still want a mother who cooks delicious food. Clothes can be bought anywhere, but delicious food can't be found everywhere."

Li's mother: "Yes! You have to accept imperfection."

Little Li Jing was still a little distressed, "That's what I said, but what should I do if they say the same thing next time?"

Li's mother leaned close to her son's ear and said, "I'll make you some delicious food to make them hungry to death, okay?"

“If they continue to speak, give them nothing to eat.”

As they were strolling around, they came to a clothing store with three big words "Shangyifang" written on the doorplate.

It was rare for Li's mother to put in the effort to choose clothes for her son as she did for herself. Suddenly, when she saw a dark green long gown, her eyes lit up.

"This color is just right, it doesn't make you look old, and it fits your cool and dark style."

Then he threw it to Li Jing and said, "Go and try changing it."

While Li Jing was changing clothes, his mother was searching the clothes in the store with her eyes.

With a bang, it hit someone's chest.

Mother Li rubbed her slightly red nose, looked up, took a glance, then quickly lowered her head and moved to the side.

Before I took two steps, someone called me, "Wait a minute."

"Your purse fell." The man picked up the purse on the ground and handed it to Li's mother.

When Li Jing came out of the changing room, he saw a man holding his mother's purse and was about to hand it to her, but his mother looked shy and refused to look up.

He looked again and saw that the man was none other than Prince Qi. Li Jing walked over with a cold face and bowed to Prince Qi, "Your humble servant greets Your Highness. This purse belongs to my wife."

Prince Qi saw the man in front of him wearing a dark green long gown, looking elegant and dignified. He thought that he looked somewhat like himself when he was young, and he felt closer to him.

He thought that passing the purse to the woman would easily lead to misunderstanding in such a crowded place.

Li's mother kept her head down, and King Qi didn't see her appearance clearly. When he heard Li Jing say that she was his mother, he thought of the woman who was dressed in fancy clothes and had her face painted like a monkey's butt, and he shuddered.

Turning around, he handed the purse to Li Jing and said, "Keep it."

Li Jing took the purse.

"Your Majesty, are you here on business?"

Prince Qi glanced at the purse in Li Jing's hand again. There was an ugly pattern embroidered on it. He felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but he couldn't remember where this familiarity came from.

"Prince!" Li Jing called out again.

"Ah! Oh, I drank your tea and wine last time, and they had a unique flavor. I won't come here to ask for a drink again!" King Qi said with a smile

There's nothing special about Qingshan County, except for the good water in Qingshui Township. As the saying goes, local water and soil shape local people. The people in Qingshan County are brighter and more cheerful than those in other places.

"Your Majesty, if you don't mind, you can come to my house and stay for a while."

"Okay! It's better to do it today than to wait for a day!" King Qi was worried that he had nowhere to go. Gu Rujun returned to Lin'an. Looking at the old and old-fashioned man in the county government office, he couldn't even eat, so he agreed immediately.

Li Jing didn't expect that his rare polite words would be taken seriously by him, and his smile froze.

"Oh! You little brat!" Mother Li covered her face with a stone scarf and slapped Li Jing.

"The prince's body is worth a lot of money, how can our small house accommodate it?"

While speaking, he winked at Li Jing.

The refusal was very obvious.

"Auntie, please don't underestimate yourself. I'm not that picky. Just be casual."

Prince Qi finally looked at the woman in front of him. She was dressed in plain clothes and was not as aggressive as the last time he saw her.

A bit of curiosity arose in my heart.

When Li's mother heard this, she gritted her teeth and said, "This plague god is here to stay today."

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He pinched Li Jing's arm and said with his eyes, "I told you not to talk too much."

Li Jing also felt wronged and gave a wronged look in response, "Who knew such a prince could be so casual and shameless."

"Your Highness, I'm still choosing clothes. Please wait a moment." Li Jing wanted him to give up.

Prince Qi didn't say anything, but the servant beside him couldn't stand it anymore. Having followed the prince for so many years, how could he dare to make the prince wait? He was grateful to be able to wait for the prince.
