Hong Kong variety show: Beauty and Bones

Yinyin's tone was so innocent that it made people feel fond of her. The county magistrate's wife seemed moved and replied with a loving smile, "My dear child, whatever my surname is, it doesn't prevent me from being the county magistrate's wife, nor does it prevent you from calling me mother."

After hearing this, Yinyin was stunned for a moment, then she smiled sweetly and said, "I see, mother, you must love and care for me from now on."

The county magistrate's wife agreed with a smile, and for a moment, the mother and daughter were very happy.

……

Soon, everyone arrived at Goose City.

Goose City is surrounded by a wide moat, and there is no bridge across the river for passage.

"Enter the city!"

Led by Zhang Muzhi, everyone rode their horses into the river. The water was shallow enough to cover the horses' hooves, splashing water everywhere.

The sound of horse hooves was clear and loud, echoing over the river. As the sound of horse hooves got closer, the sound of drums could be heard from the square at the city gate, as if warmly welcoming the new county magistrate.

The drum beats were rhythmic and deafening, as if they were about to break through the sky.

The people beating the drums were a group of women, their faces were covered with thick foundation, making them look particularly white.

The bandits looked at these women with great interest, and they talked among themselves: "The women in the city are indeed fairer than those in the mountains."

Xiao Liuzi spotted the portrait of the wanted bandit Zhang Mazi posted on the city wall and immediately ran up to Zhang Muzhi and asked, "Dad, why did they paint you like this?"

Zhang Muzhi lowered his voice and said to Xiao Liuzi, "The less similar they are, the safer it is." "This kid is such a fool!

Yinyin silently observed everything around her. She noticed that the county magistrate's wife raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a smile with a hint of irony.

When the drumbeats stopped abruptly, the people at the city gate raised their hands in unison and shouted in unison: "Welcome, Mr. County Magistrate!"

Their voices resounded throughout Goose City and lingered in the air for a long time.

Upon seeing this, Master Tang yelled, "Power of Attorney!"

He opened the letter of appointment and read aloud, "Ma Bangde is hereby appointed as the County Magistrate of E County! This letter is from Ba Qingtai, Chairman of Sanamkang Province, Republic of China, on August 28, 1919..."

At this moment, a loud shout came from the city gate: "Master Huang has arrived!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a sedan chair carried by four people slowly driving out of the city gate.

The people outside the city gate hurried forward, their faces full of flattery and fawning expressions. They bowed slightly and shouted in unison: "Good luck to Mr. Huang!" The shouts were deafening and seemed to pierce the sky.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Mazi crossed his arms over his chest and watched everything happening in front of him coldly.

Master Tang, who was standing beside him, leaned close to his ear and whispered in a low voice, "This Mr. Huang is a tyrant in the Southern Kingdom. His name is Huang Silang!"

Then, Master Tang continued, "He was involved in illegal activities such as human trafficking and opium trafficking, and his methods were extremely cruel."

Hearing this, Zhang Mazi's eyes became sharper, and he seemed to have developed a strong interest in this so-called "Mr. Huang".

At this moment, two of Huang Silang's followers stepped forward, one of whom shouted, "Master Huang was so busy that he specially sent us to greet the county magistrate. I am Hu Wan, the chief steward of the Huang Mansion."

"The Huang Mansion's militia instructor, Wu Zhichong."

Another attendant also saluted and said.

The two men said in unison, "Top hat, politeness, welcome, County Magistrate!" As they spoke, they pointed at the interior of the sedan. However, the sedan was empty except for a pure white top hat lying quietly there.

Yinyin witnessed the whole scene, and a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes. It seemed that both sides were tough guys, and a fierce confrontation was about to begin.

Zhang Muzhi folded his arms across his chest, looking at the scene in front of him with a playful look in his eyes. A meaningful smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he murmured softly, "Your visitor has bad intentions!"

His voice was low and magnetic, as if it contained endless meaning and sarcasm.

It seemed that he had anticipated the coming trouble, but he didn't care.

His deep eyes sparkled with confidence and composure, which made people wonder how he would deal with this unknown challenge.

Master Tang complimented him, saying, "You are the one who comes!"

Oh, that's okay!

……

A group of people rode into the city gate on horseback. Hu Wan and others were stunned when they saw Yin Yin.

Then Hu Wan winked at Yin Yin.

Yinyin smiled at him, and Hu Wan's eyes lit up.

When they reached the city and stood at the gate of the county government office, Zhang Muzhi opened fire first, killing the "bandit"!

Everyone heard the gunshots and began to hide...

Mr. Tang is indeed a cultured man, he started with a bunch of polite words.

"Now that the county magistrate is here, Goose City will be at peace!"

"The county magistrate is here, and justice will prevail!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Mu dismounted.

He was the first to applaud, and everyone followed suit.

……

The county magistrate's office is located in a building in the center of E County.

The building is solemn and majestic, with thick walls and tall doors and windows.

The overall architectural style is a combination of Chinese and Western styles, with exquisite wood carvings, stone carvings, brick carvings and large glass windows.

The front yard is used for office and the back yard is used for living.

Entering the backyard, you will see it is full of flowers, plants and trees, making it like spring all year round.

In the center of the yard, there is a small pond with goldfish and lotus flowers.

There is a rockery next to the pond, which is full of flowers, plants and trees, and the scenery is pleasant.

The layout of the rooms in the backyard of the county government office is also very exquisite. Each room has its own characteristics and uses.

Some of the rooms are bedrooms, which are decorated very warmly and comfortably; some rooms are study rooms, which are filled with books and stationery; and there is also a living room, which is decorated very luxuriously.

The county magistrate's wife took Yinyin's luggage and said to her, "Yinyin, after we settle down, I will take you to the tailor shop to make you some beautiful clothes."

Yinyin nodded obediently and said gratefully, "Thank you, Mom!" Then, she took the initiative to help fold the clothes and put them in the closet.

Yinyin's luggage was very simple, just a small bag containing a few pieces of coarse men's clothing.

The county magistrate's wife looked at the clothes and was a little dissatisfied. She took out two pieces of clothes that she had never worn and handed them to Yin Yin, saying, "Girls should pay attention to their image and not be so crude. Nice clothes and jewelry are necessary."

After saying that, the county magistrate's wife walked to the dressing table, put her cosmetics in place, and then gave a charming smile to the beautiful woman in the mirror.

Yinyin responded softly, "I understand." She lowered her head and continued to organize her things.

In fact, Yinyin was not short of money, but because she was alone outside, she did not dare to expose her wealth easily.

As for jewelry, Yinyin once owned a lot.

When she first followed Cao Shaolin, he liked to dress up Yinyin. He not only made many new clothes for her, but also created many fashionable jewelry for her.

However, Yin Yin didn't care about any of this. Cao Shaolin just treated her like a beautiful canary. She wanted to stay away from him, so how could she be interested in the gifts he gave her?

Moreover, the dowry left to her by Yinyin's mother contained many gold, silver, jade, precious fabrics, and rare medicinal herbs.

Even she herself has never lacked these since she was a child.

Yinyin was originally preparing to leave, and she placed all the items she often used and wore, along with her mother's dowry, in a small courtyard under her name.
