Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!

Chapter 174: Inviting the County Magistrate to a Dinner

Qingshui Tower is extremely bustling.

As soon as the villagers got off the carriage, they stood at the door of Qingshui Tower and looked for a while. Then a waiter came over and led them in.

It’s no wonder that it’s the largest restaurant in town. The decoration is very special.

They are like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and everything they see is curious.

I was surprised to see a golden toad on the cash register.

It’s golden, could it be gold?

The manager said that of course it wasn’t that ostentatious.

As a result, when they saw the spiral staircase, they all ran to the bottom of the stairs to look at it, and they all exclaimed at how exquisitely designed it was.

The villagers spent the whole morning admiring the interior decoration and discussing it in whispers.

On the table were melon seeds, peanuts, longans, red dates, and Yaoyao milk tea brought by the waiter.

Soon, exquisite dishes were served one after another: steamed shad, fresh shrimp, stewed lamb...

The Shen and Ye families raised their glasses to express their gratitude to the villagers for coming today. After drinking this glass of wine, the banquet officially began.

The waiter at Qingshuilou was moving between the tables, pouring tea, wine, and so on.

Yaoyao was surrounded by her brothers and sisters, and the food in her bowl was piled high.

The chubby little girl used the chopsticks to stuff food into her mouth quickly, making her mouth full of oil.

Upon seeing this, Old Lady Liu quickly reduced the amount of meat in her bowl. Eating such a large bowl of meat would definitely cause indigestion.

Fortunately, Mrs. Liu had the foresight to take out the hawthorn water she had prepared in the morning and let Yaoyao drink it after dinner.

Yaoyao left the table after finishing her meal, and walked across the table holding the water bag and stood on the threshold of Qingshui Tower.

When the waiter saw this, he went to get a soft cushion and put it under her butt so that she could sit comfortably.

"Thank you, brother." Yaoyao held the water bag and looked at her second brother in a baby voice.

The waiter was only fourteen years old, with a childish look on his face. Seeing Yaoyao sitting quietly after eating without making any noise, his heart softened.

"Just sit here and don't run away, okay?" The last time Yaoyao disappeared was still fresh in the mind of the waiter, so he reminded her worriedly.

"OK!"

Yaoyao nodded heavily.

When the waiter saw Yaoyao agreed, he smiled and went to work.

Yaoyao held the water bag and watched the people coming and going on the street. From time to time, she held the water bag and took a sip of the hawthorn water inside.

With delicate eyebrows and eyes and a chubby appearance, passers-by couldn't help but stop and take a look.

This kid is really strong, white, chubby and good-looking. When he sees them, he smiles sweetly, and my heart feels as sweet as if it were filled with honey.

My mood improved throughout the day.

Her big black eyes were looking at the street, but in fact, Yaoyao's consciousness had already been wandering freely in the space.

When I saw the mountains of gold, silver and jewels as high as small hills, my smile never stopped.

Rolling on the grass in the space, having a lot of fun.

The county magistrate was so angry at Wang's house that he ran out without even having lunch.

Now he only has one or two taels of silver left in his pocket, and this one or two taels of silver was saved by him through frugal living.

As for why he was angry with the Wang family, it was because his nominal brother-in-law wanted to do silk business and borrowed 100,000 taels of silver from him.

Although the county magistrate had been locked up in a secret room for nine years, it did not mean that he did not know that every time his nominal brother-in-law lent him money, the money was like drawing water from a bamboo basket.

How dare you ask him for 100,000 taels of silver? Is he a sucker?

He doesn't even have 100,000 taels of silver!

The banknotes sent by Magistrate Jiang had long been spent, and he was thinking of an excuse to cry about the money.

Because he really couldn't come up with 100,000 taels of silver, the eldest lady ran to him crying.

The county magistrate was speechless. Don’t you know whether you have any silver at home?

He is so poor that he can't even afford underwear, yet he dares to ask for 100,000 taels of silver.

There are several holes in his underwear and you haven’t even fixed them for me!

"Little sister, why are you sitting here? Where are the adults in your family?" The county magistrate saw a baby sitting on the threshold of Qingshui Tower, with a distracted expression, smiling at him foolishly from time to time.

How can such a beautiful child be stupid?

Yaoyao heard someone talking to her in the space, and her consciousness immediately returned to her body.

When she looked up, she met the eyes of the county magistrate. She knew this unlucky guy. He was the real county magistrate whose identity had been replaced by his cousin for nine years.

Yaoyao blinked her eyes and replied in a baby voice, "Yeah, Nana, Diedie, Liangqin is eating in the facade."

Why is this county magistrate so poor?

There is only a slight smell of silver on him.

The county magistrate looked up and saw that the entire hall was full of people, all of whom were familiar to him.

Feeling a warm and soft touch on his palm, the county magistrate lowered his head to meet the black and white big eyes. A soft smile hung on her round face, and the dimples at the corners of her mouth were particularly conspicuous. He only heard her speak softly.

"Uncle, my grandma is coming into the new house, please have some dinner!"

The county magistrate looked at the little girl holding his hand in surprise. She looked like she was only a little over one year old but she knew how to invite people to dinner. He almost cried.

His stomach felt empty.

Before he could answer, the little girl pulled him into Qingshui Building.

"Hurry up, or there will be no food." Yaoyao pulled the county magistrate straight to where Old Lady Liu was sitting. She spoke in a baby voice and walked a little fast, as if there would be no food if they were late.

The county magistrate followed behind and touched the ten taels of silver in his belt.

Well, ten taels of silver should be enough as a gift, right?

He would feel embarrassed to eat it for free.

"Nainai, bring me some food!" Yaoyao called out to Old Lady Liu.

After hearing this, Old Lady Liu responded with a smile, but when she saw the county magistrate, the enthusiastic smile on her face instantly collapsed.

What is this bastard doing here?

"Naina, move the chicken over and let me have some rice!" Yaoyao noticed the unhappiness on Old Lady Liu's face and urged her.

Old Lady Liu suppressed her unhappiness and began to arrange a position for the county magistrate.

"They are just some home-cooked meals, not as good as what the county magistrate eats at his house." Old Mrs. Liu said indifferently.

The implication is, if you want to eat, eat; if you don’t want to eat, forget it and leave.

The county magistrate touched his nose, he knew that all this was caused by his cousin.

It's normal for Old Lady Liu to have an opinion of herself.

As soon as he sat down, the villagers immediately became restrained. They had never eaten with an official in their lives.

I wasn't flattered at all, I was just shocked.
