Chapter 24 Obtaining the Land Deed
Today's destination is the county town. As soon as the sky was getting light, Xie Xiaogang and Xie Zhengyi hurried over in an ox cart.
At this time, Wang Xinyao had also changed into new clothes and prepared food for the journey, and the group couldn't wait to set off for the county town!
The original owner was quite familiar with the area of the county town, but the former county magistrate had long since been promoted. The former lady Gou Chunmei, simply because others thought Wang Xinyao was more beautiful than her, ignored their years of companionship and wanted to kill the original owner!
Time flies, and now everything is completely different!
The layout of the county government office remains the same. I heard that the new county magistrate is quite young, and his biggest characteristic is his love for food.
Because the last step in processing the land deed required the official seal of the county government, after the Tongzhi had completed the preliminary documents, Wang Xinyao and the village chief were led to the back court!
Yes, it was the back court! Because the county magistrate, besides being fascinated by delicious food, usually wouldn't go to court unless there was something special. He would go to the back court for trivial matters! However, he was a fair person. Although there had been no major developments during this period, he hadn't made any mistakes either. Nanhu County was relatively peaceful!
Before he even stepped into the back hall, he heard angry shouts: "What's the point of me keeping you? The food you make is simply inedible. What on earth do you do all day? Can't you even tell what's delicious and what's not? Don't you have brains? Can't you see that I'm getting thinner and thinner?"
I saw a young man who was slightly overweight, with a pale face that was almost greasy, and about eighteen years old, glaring at a group of servants!
Even when he saw the Tongzhi bringing people in, he continued to yell and curse!
The Tongzhi seemed to be accustomed to this. After leading Wang Xinyao and Xie Zhengyi to pay their respects to the county magistrate, he gestured for them to sit on the stool and wait!
Wang Xinyao was shocked by the fact that a grown man, who was obviously fat, was cursing and claiming to have lost weight. An uninformed person might have mistakenly thought that these servants had committed some heinous crime.
The county magistrate scolded more and more vigorously, while the servants' ears seemed to be under a spell and had long been numb to the scolding.
Wang Xinyao thought that the county magistrate’s scolding would probably not stop in the short term.
He had the energy to keep scolding her, but she didn't have the time to just wait. It was just something to eat. Food was a piece of cake for her. Maybe as long as she could satisfy the county magistrate's stomach, she could successfully open up her business in this county!
Thinking of this, Wang Xinyao stood up from her seat and bowed to the county magistrate again: "Your Excellency, County Magistrate, may you be well. I have a few new things here. You can try one or two. Perhaps they will suit your taste!"
The county magistrate was initially displeased at being interrupted in his reprimand, but upon hearing there was something new to eat, he instantly became interested: "Quick, bring it up so I can see it!"
The servants who had been training with their heads down breathed a sigh of relief when they saw someone divert the county magistrate's attention, and cast grateful glances at Wang Xinyao!
Wang Xinyao fumbled in her pocket and took out a few chestnuts and handed them to the county magistrate. This was her dry food for the journey.
At that time, she had given it to Xie Xiaogang and Xie Zhengyi to eat in the car. The moment Xie Xiaogang saw the chestnuts being taken out, his saliva began to flow out again!
The county magistrate placed a few chestnuts in his hands. The cracked part of the chestnut opened slightly, emitting bursts of fragrance. The fragrance was very tempting. He immediately peeled one with his hands and took a bite of the chestnut. Its taste was unique.
He felt deeply that this was the most delicious thing he had ever tasted in his life. He had never expected that the food prepared by a rural woman could be more delicious than the ones made by the cooks he brought with him. Thinking about the past, what kind of life he had led? He could not even afford the food of a farmer. Suddenly, a feeling of grievance welled up in his heart!
Soon, seven or eight chestnuts were devoured. Feeling unsatisfied, he immediately turned his gaze to Wang Xinyao and asked anxiously, "Do you have any more?"
Wang Xinyao bowed slightly and replied respectfully, "Your Excellency, I don't have any chestnuts left. However, I still have some at home."
She knew in her heart that the seal of the period had not yet been stamped, and she could not hand over all her details.
County Magistrate Luo Qing was anxious when he heard this. He quickly said, "Then go back and get it. I'll buy it no matter how much it costs per pound."
Wang Xinyao immediately smiled apologetically and replied, "Your Excellency, I'm from Xiejia Village, Ping'an Town, a little far from the county seat. I have some unfinished business, so could you please stamp this seal for me?"
At this time, County Magistrate Luo Qing just remembered that the Tongzhi brought them here for something.
I guess this matter is not important, otherwise, the Tongzhi would have stopped him the first time he cursed.
He thought for a moment, then said, "Show me the document!"
Only then did Luo Qing display the proper demeanor of a county magistrate. He sat upright, his expression solemn, waiting for Wang Xinyao to present the document.
When Wang Xinyao heard this, a look of surprise appeared on her face, but she still suppressed her inner joy and handed the document over with both hands!
Luo Qing took the document and looked at it, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "Oh? Miss Wang is buying so much land?"
He originally thought that Wang Xinyao was just an ordinary farm girl, but he didn't expect that she had such strong financial resources to buy so much land.
Wang Xinyao quickly replied respectfully, "Yes, sir, I have a large family, and I also want to open a snack shop in the village."
Hearing this, a hint of admiration flashed in Luo Qing's eyes.
He immediately took out his seal, stamped the document to confirm, and said to Wang Xinyao, "Miss Wang, your application has been approved. From now on, these lands are yours. I hope you can make good use of them and bring more benefits to the village."
Wang Xinyao was filled with gratitude and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Thank you very much, sir. I will work hard to live up to your expectations."
Afterwards, Luo Qing said to the steward beside him, "Steward, go to my private vault and get twenty taels of silver."
The butler immediately obeyed the order and left, and soon returned with twenty taels of silver.
Luo Qing took the silver and handed it to Wang Xinyao, saying, "Miss Wang, this twenty taels of silver is the deposit for the chestnuts I want to buy. You must bring the chestnuts to me tomorrow."
Wang Xinyao never dreamed that just by coming to stamp the seal, she would unexpectedly gain such a big business, and the business even reached the head of the county magistrate.
Her face was filled with irrepressible joy and excitement, and she hurriedly said, "Thank you, sir. I will bring you chestnuts tomorrow!"
County Magistrate Luo Qing smiled and waved his hand, saying gently: "You're welcome, Miss Wang. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me at any time." His words were like a warm spring breeze!
Bribing a county magistrate with just a few chestnuts seemed particularly easy to develop the market in ancient times.
Xie Xiaogang was used to this, but Xie Zhengyi, standing beside him, was stunned. His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
He couldn't imagine that a few chestnuts could cause such a drastic change in the attitude of the high-ranking county magistrate. This scene was truly beyond his expectations.
After bidding farewell to the county magistrate, Wang Xinyao took Xie Zhengyi and his son to a restaurant and treated them to a sumptuous meal. Afterward, she deliberately took out two taels of silver and forced it into the hands of the village chief, Xie Zhengyi.
After the meal, Wang Xinyao strolled around the streets of the county town. Soon, she bought six large wooden barrels, all of which were used for bathing.
She thought that the children had already started learning martial arts, and if she occasionally found an opportunity to let them take a bath in the spiritual spring water, it might be more effective.
After buying the barrels, the group immediately headed towards Ping'an Town. Sitting in the slowly moving oxcart, Wang Xinyao thought to herself: This oxcart is really too slow. Now that she has enough money, it seems she should switch to a horse-drawn carriage. A horse-drawn carriage is not only faster, but also makes travel more comfortable and convenient.
