Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!
Chapter 164 Capital City
A lean yamen runner said with a smile, "My master has heard that your wife's husband and three sons are planning to go to the provincial capital to take the imperial examination, so he ordered us to bring them the books that he has been keeping for a long time. They have detailed annotations from him."
Old Lady Liu’s frown could kill a fly. What on earth does the county magistrate mean?
What's the point of having books delivered to me for no reason?
"The master said that this is his good intention, please accept it." The thin yamen runner continued.
Old Lady Liu thought that the man was the county magistrate after all, and if she didn't accept it, she would offend him. She was afraid that the county magistrate would secretly tamper with Qingshui Tower, so she accepted it.
"Please go back and thank your master for me. Please accept this money. Consider it as me treating you to a drink." Old Lady Liu smiled and took out a hundred coins and put them in the hand of the yamen runner.
The bailiff shook the coins, smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
After the yamen runners left, Old Lady Liu moved several baskets of books into the yard with an angry look on her face.
"I really don't know what the county magistrate is up to. He sent me books for no reason." Old Lady Liu looked at the books in the basket with suspicion and said, "Could these books be poisoned? No, I have to check them carefully."
As she spoke, Old Lady Liu squatted down, picked up a book and began to examine it.
When seeing the words in the book, even Mrs. Liu, who could only recognize a few words, had to admit that the words in the book were beautiful.
"This man looks like he has a bad heart, but his handwriting is quite good."
Yaoyao took a book from the basket and took it to the study to show Old Man Yuan who was reading.
"Yeah, count to the mud."
Old man Yuan immediately put down the book in his hand and reached out to take the book in Yaoyao's hand. "Thank you, Yaoyao. Where did you get this book?"
Old man Yuan did not read the contents of the book immediately, but bent down with a smile on his face and picked up Yaoyao.
"Well... Uncle Yaya sent it over. He said it was for Ni and Diedie Shushu to see." Yaoyao blinked and tried to control her mouth to speak complete sentences.
After hearing this, Old Man Yuan picked up the book he had put aside and started reading.
The more I watched, the more shocked I became.
The annotations in this book are very detailed, and many things that I didn’t understand before suddenly became clear to me.
Yes, he forgot that the county magistrate was a Jinshi, so the annotations of this book were naturally extraordinary.
"The yard is full of plunder from the sea, baskets and baskets of it, all like it."
Old man Yuan walked out of the study quickly with his precious granddaughter in his arms and headed straight for the baskets of books in the yard.
After checking for a while, Old Lady Liu couldn't find any problems and was about to burn several baskets of books as firewood.
She still had some hatred towards the county magistrate in her heart. If it weren't for the county magistrate, her eldest son wouldn't have left home to join the army. Now, when she saw the things the county magistrate sent her, she felt uncomfortable and disgusted.
"Old woman, don't touch these books. We need them." Old man Yuan hurried out to stop her.
Old Mrs. Liu was furious. "What do I need these books for? They're just an eyesore!"
She gets angry when she sees things from the hypocritical county magistrate.
"Even if you are angry, you can't take it out on these books. These books are useful to us and the children." Old man Yuan hurriedly explained.
Old Lady Liu stared, "Really?"
"Really? The county magistrate is a Jinshi, and his annotations are not available on the market." Old man Yuan nodded.
Although Old Lady Liu felt a little uncomfortable, she couldn't just burn the books because the old man had said so.
Yaoyao knew that Old Lady Liu was unhappy, so she took a piece of candy from her small purse and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Eat candy, and the hustle and bustle is like flying."
Hearing Yaoyao's baby voice, Old Lady Liu's anger instantly disappeared. She glanced at the baskets of books that Old Man Yuan treasured, and then, trying to avoid seeing them, she carried Yaoyao into the house.
Old Mrs. Shen and Old Mrs. Ye looked at each other, and hurried into the house to comfort Old Mrs. Liu.
Her son is in danger on the battlefield and may lose his life at any time. As a mother, they can understand Mrs. Liu's feelings.
In the evening, after Yuan Lao Er, Yuan Lao San, and Yuan Lao Si came back, they were called by Old Man Yuan to the study to study the book given by the county magistrate.
As Yuan Laosi read these books, he felt that although they were not as good as the ones Yaoyao had given him, they were still detailed enough.
He took out the books that Yaoyao had given him. Now Old Man Yuan forgot to eat and sleep, and read those books all night long.
Tonight, a tuft of white hair and a green snake sneaked into Yaoyao's house. Xunjinshu used his two branches to support the edge of the bowl and pulled his two little feet out of the soil.
After Yaoyao fed it the Yuanling Pill for a while, the gold-seeking tree absorbed gold much faster, and the previous piece of gold was sucked into a small piece by it.
"Master, where are we going tonight?" Xun Jinshu's voice was filled with impatience.
Yaoyao touched her chin and said to them with her spiritual consciousness: "Today is my birthday, and I want to give someone a favor. It's just that the distance is a bit far, and I'm afraid you will get flying sick."
"Master, where exactly is the place you are talking about?" A tuft of white hair scratched his scalp.
Yaoyao is a little conflicted now. She can finally walk and no longer needs Xiao Hei to carry her around. Shouldn't she collect interest from someone to ease the resentment in her heart?
"Capital, Prime Minister's Mansion!" The pink little mouth uttered these words silently.
The green snake widened its eyes. Although it was a local snake and had never left the town for such a long time, it did not mean that it had not heard the storyteller's description of the luxurious and prosperous life under the feet of the emperor, where wine and meat were fragrant and meat smelled foul.
Beijing!
As the prosperous capital city flashed through Qingshe's mind, his face became excited.
"Could it be that the master is talking about the capital city in my mind?"
Yaoyao looked up at the green snake and knew that the snake was daydreaming again.
"Ah."
The green snake jumped up excitedly, "Let's go, what are we waiting for! No matter if it spits out or not, there are so many gold and silver treasures in the capital! Let's pick up the money!"
Picking up money?
Where did this rumor come from?
Yaoyao ignored the mad green snake and patted Xiaohei's head with her chubby little hands.
Xiao Hei lowered his head, and Yaoyao sat on it nimbly. When the three beasts saw it, they immediately climbed up.
It’s great to be able to experience the feeling of riding a white tiger again.
Xiao Hei was carrying one man and three beasts out of the house. Just as he was about to transform into a white tiger, the whole beast suddenly froze in place.
Looking back with a stiff neck.
Guoan held up his pants, revealing half of his white thigh, and looked at Yaoyao in amazement.
No, to be precise, he was staring in amazement at the tuft of white hair, the green snake, and the golden tree beside Yaoyao.
"Hello!" Xun Jinshu blinked his big blue eyes and raised his hand to greet Guoan with an innocent look.
Guoan opened his mouth.
Yaoyao quickly said, "Xiao Hei!"
In a flash, Guoan was already naked...
