51 Jewelry

“Oh, about that….” Jian Qingqing did not mind at all. “Didn’t you thank me last time? You even gave me a jade pendant. Saving you was a piece of cake for me. Don’t worry about it.”

“Saving me was a piece of cake for you, but it was my life-saving grace. Miss Jian, I left in a hurry last time and didn’t have time to properly thank you. That was impolite of me. I originally wanted to pay you a visit after I was done with my work, but now that I’ve met you, please give me a chance to repay you.”

Ming Zhiyan rarely spoke so much in one go, he uncomfortably cleared his throat.

“It’s alright. I’m still in a hurry to go home, so I won’t be going to eat. By the way, have you fully recovered from your injuries?”

Ming Zhiyan nodded and said that he had already fully recovered. He then said, “In that case, I’ll get someone to send you back.” Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Jian Qingqing waved her hands repeatedly. “No, no. I’ve already made an appointment with someone, so I won’t trouble you.”

“Alright then. If Miss Jian needs any help in the future, you can look for me.”

“Yes, yes, yes. Goodbye, Lord Ming!”

…

After eating, Jian Qingqing took out the jewelry. “Mother, look what I bought for you.”

Mother Jian took it and was shocked, “Aiyo, why did you buy me such an expensive thing? How much does it cost?”

“It’s nothing, it’s not expensive. Besides, I earned money. What’s wrong with buying something for you?”

Mother Jian carefully inserted the hairpin into her hair and asked shyly, “How is it? Is it nice?”

Jian Qingqing cheered her on, “It’s nice, it’s nice! The first time I saw it, I felt that it was very suitable for you.”

“Wow! Mother, it is really nice! I have never seen a woman who is more beautiful than you!” Xiao Hu’s expression was exaggerated and amusing.

Mother Jian was not ugly. These days, she had eaten well and had restored the meat on her face. Her gentle oval face, thin willow-leaf eyebrows, and the gold-plated hairpin made her look very expensive.

Mother Jian lowered her head shyly. “You guys always tease me!”

Jian Dalang chuckled foolishly. “It’s really pretty, but Big Sister, why are you only buying gifts for your mother and not for me?”

At the end, he was already feeling jealous.

Jian Qingqing laughed and went over. She originally wanted to buy other things after buying the jewelry, but after that incident, she did not want to scare her family.

Mother Jian also said, “Yes, Big Sister, why don’t you buy some for yourself? Children should dress up more beautifully. With your hair tied up twice a day, how could you not wear anything? Tomorrow, go buy some nice hair ropes and jewelry. Mother will teach you how to tie them!”

Jian Qingqing said helplessly, “Mother, I set up a stall every day, how would I have time to do these things? Besides, it’s convenient to tie up my hair. Why would you dress up so nicely when you go out to work?”

She was determined not to admit that it was because she did not know how to do those complicated hairstyles that she casually tied up her hair. Seeing that Mother Jian still wanted to speak, she quickly interrupted, “Oh right, I heard that there’s a private school in the county that’s about to start. Why don’t we send Xiao Hu and Xiao Ye to study?”

When it came to studying, the members of the Jian Family became serious.

Old Man Jian could not believe it. “Our family is really going to have scholars?”

In this day and age, those who could afford to study were either rich or noble. Their village had never had a scholar before. The Village Chief’s family had originally planned to use the entire family’s money to send Zhangsun to school, but after the drought, they had no money to go.

“Our family can really go to school? Doesn’t that mean that Xiao Hu and Xiao Ye won’t have to farm in the future? Once they go to school, they can become accountants in the county. Every month, they will earn money!”

52 Planning to Go to School

Jian Qingqing understood how excited they were. She said affirmatively, “It’s true. I’ve asked around. The private school in the county town costs half a tael of silver a month. After handing it over to mister, you can go to school.”

Old Man Jian was so excited that he cried. “Hahaha! I didn’t expect that my Jian Family would have scholars too! This time, I will be worthy of my ancestors! Xiao Hu, Xiao Ye, when you go to school, you must listen to your teacher’s words and study hard! In the future, you will bring glory to your ancestors!”

Xiao Hu and Xiao Ye were also very excited. Studying was the most enviable thing. The children of the landlords were all scholars, and when they walked, they were very dignified. Could they also become such people?

“Yes! We will definitely study hard!”

Old Man Jian wiped his tears, he held Jian Qingqing’s hand. “Big Sister, it’s all thanks to you that our lives can be so good. We have meat for every meal. Not only did we build a house, but Xiao Hu and Xiao Ye can also go to school! I didn’t even dare to think about this in the past! Just thinking about how to eat every day is enough to make my stomach ache. All of this is because of you. You are our family’s treasure!”

Mother Jian also remembered the time when Jian Qingqing was starving to death and woke up. At that time, she did not even have the money to hire a doctor for her daughter.

When Qingqing said that she wanted her to eat meat every day and live a good life, she thought that it was a child’s sweet words, she did not expect it to be realized so quickly. Her father-in-law was right. Big Sister was their family’s treasure!

…

The next day, Jian Dalang and Jian Qingqing brought Xiao Hu and Xiao Ye to buy ink, paper, and inkstone. It had to be said that these things were really expensive. An inkstone cost two taels of silver.

After buying stationery, they went to buy a bundle of cloth, a set of clothes, cotton shoes, and two roast ducks and stewed meat. Jian Dalang took them to the private school, while Jian Qingqing went to the market to set up a stall.

When she arrived, she felt that the other stall owners looked at her a little strangely.

Jian Qingqing was puzzled. Did something happen?

She pushed her doubts aside and unloaded the stewed meat and roast duck from the ox-cart.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, no one came. She wondered, “Aren’t they usually sold out very quickly?”

At this moment, an aunt who usually bought meat from her came over and said, “Little Lady, give me a roast duck.”

Ads by Pubfuture

Jian Qingqing wrapped the duck and said casually, “Aunt, don’t you want the stewed meat?”

When the aunt heard this, her eyes evaded. “No, no. I’m tired of eating too much. I’ll eat the roast duck today.”

This sounded normal. No matter how delicious the food was, it could not be stopped from being eaten every day. Jian Qingqing did not take it to heart at first, but the aunt stuttered and looked away. She looked very guilty.

She handed the duck to her and asked curiously, “What’s wrong, Aunty?”

“Nothing, nothing!” The aunty took the roast duck, threw down the money, and ran away. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The other customers were the same. They only bought the roast duck and looked guilty. They did not say a word to her.

Jian Qingqing was more and more confused. What happened? The surrounding stall owners seemed to know what happened and looked like they were watching a good show.

She moved the stool and asked the stall owner next to her, “Aunty, what happened? Why are their eyes so strange?”

The Aunt had been avoiding her, as if she did not want to talk to her.

Jian Qingqing cut a piece of stewed meat and placed it on Aunty’s stall.

The Aunty took a look and finally could not resist the temptation, she whispered to Jian Qingqing, “A stewed meat stall appeared next street early in the morning. It’s cheaper than yours. The customers who were waiting for you went to his stall.”

53 The Appearance of an Opponent

Jian Qingqing understood. So this was the reason. It was not a big deal. Why were all of them avoiding her? Stewed meat was not difficult to make and was easy to imitate. It was only a matter of time before other stewed meat stalls appeared. Everyone could do business. Why would they feel guilty just because they did not come to her stall to buy?

Jian Qingqing was very open-minded. Could it be that because she often went to a certain steamed bun shop to buy steamed buns, she could not go to other steamed bun shops to buy? Of course, she would go to whichever shop that had the best one.

After selling the roast duck, there was still more than half of the stewed meat left. Jian Qingqing did not plan to continue selling it. There was already a new stewed meat stall, and her customer flow had already been divided up.

Therefore, she planned to take it back to the workers to eat. She would not make so much stewed meat tomorrow and would get up earlier to roast another batch of roast duck.

Just as she was about to leave, a person dressed like a young male servant came over. “Miss, I want the rest of the braised meat.”

Jian Qingqing was stunned. “Can your family finish it? The braised meat won’t taste good overnight.”

The young male servant nodded. “Don’t worry. Just sell it to us.”

Jian Qingqing asked in puzzlement, “Which family are you from? There are more than 80 catties here. We can’t finish it with so few people.”

When the young male servant heard her pressing questions, he could only answer honestly, “I’m a young male servant from the County Magistrate’s house. Our Lord asked me to come and buy it.”

Sigh, it seemed like he woudl not be able to fulfill the Lord’s orders. The young male servant had a bitter expression on his face.

Jian Qingqing understood. So he was someone sent by Ming Zhiyan. She already said there was no need for him to repay jer, so why did he still call for someone to come over to buy her food?

She said, “It’s too much for all of you. You won’t be able to finish it all. How about this, I’ll sell it to you for 20 catties. I think it’s enough to eat.”

“Umm…” Xiaosi’s face was full of worry. Ming Zhiyan asked him to buy the stewed meat and did not say anything else. If he could not complete the mission, would he be punished?

“It’s fine. Just tell him that I said it. 20 catties is enough for you. If you think it’s delicious, you can buy it tomorrow.”

The young male servant could only carry the 20 catties of stewed meat and leave. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

…

When Jian Qingqing moved the stewed meat onto the ox cart, Uncle Ox asked in surprise, “Girl, why aren’t you selling it anymore?”

Jian Qingqing smiled. “There are people selling braised meat on the neighboring street. If no one wants to buy it, I’ll take it back and eat it myself.”

Ads by Pubfuture

Uncle Ox said with heartache, “Aiyo, isn’t this stealing business? Why are they so wicked?”

Jian Qingqing puffed. “How is this stealing business? There are so many stalls selling steamed buns. Can it be said that it’s stealing business from the first person who sells steamed buns?”

Uncle Ox thought about it and agreed. However, it was hard not to complain when such a thing happened to one of his own people.

When the ox-cart drove out of the market, Jian Qingqing saw another stall selling stewed meat at the end of the street. It looked like quite a number of people had gone to buy it.

Jian Qingqing retracted her gaze.

She secretly placed five catties of stewed meat on uncle Ox’s car when she reached home.

Jian Qingqing brought so much stewed meat back to her family. Her family was also surprised. Usually, they would be able to sell all of it.

After Jian Qingqing explained, the Jian Family felt that it was a pity.

“Big Sister, why don’t I wake up early tomorrow and roast some more ducks?” said Jian Dalang.

“No need. It’s enough to sell so much. I’ll think about what other businesses I can do.” Jian Dalang did not say anything else.

The next day, Jian Qingqing only braised 40 catties of braised meat. When she went there, many customers were waiting there.

She asked in surprise, “Why are you here so early?”

One of the guests said somewhat awkwardly, “I’m afraid that you will sell out if I’m late. Your meat is so delicious.”

54 Order

With the first customer saying it, the rest of the customers were no longer embarrassed, they poured out everything like beans. “Yes, your house is still the best. Yesterday, I also bought the meat from the newly opened store. That pork is stinky. It’s very disgusting!”

“The stewed meat is even worse than the one I made myself! It doesn’t taste good at all!”

“Yeah, they didn’t even give me a taste. I only found out when I bought it back that my family would throw up after just one bite! If he gave me a taste, I wouldn’t have bought it! I’ll have to look at your house when I buy stewed meat in the future!”

Jian Qingqing did not know whether to laugh or cry. She did not expect that the newly opened stewed meat stall would attract her loyal fans.

In that case, she might as well advertise for her stewed meat stall. “Yeah, the stewed meat in my house is made with good ingredients, which is why it tastes so good. With that huge pile of spices, the price will be more expensive. It’s worth every penny!”

The customers all agreed. Jian Qingqing’s stewed meat was really fragrant! They had not eaten it yet, but they could already smell the fragrance from afar. A piece of meat would go well with a bowl of rice. They wanted to eat it again. If she did not put good ingredients, would it have such an effect? Indeed, it was better to use good ingredients.

Therefore, the stewed meat for today was sold out very quickly. Jian Qingqing was ready to close the stall when Ming Zhiyan arrived.

She glanced at him and said, “Today’s meat is sold out. If you want to eat, you can reserve it with me. I’ll leave a portion for you on account of our acquaintance.”

Ming Zhiyan was an official of all sizes and might be able to use it in the future. It was necessary to build a good relationship with him.

Ming Zhiyan touched his nose and said, “Thank you very much. By the way, do you want to take an order?”

“What order?”

“Our county office wants to order 50 catties of stewed meat every day. Do you want to take such an order?”

Jian Qingqing refused. “No. Don’t you have a special cook? Why are you still buying cooked food outside?” Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“Don’t misunderstand. I didn’t mean to help your business on purpose, but we have this need. The food in the county office isn’t enough, and the cook’s cooking isn’t good either. Those bailiffs don’t have the energy to train if they can’t eat well, so I thought of ordering cooked food outside. It just so happens that the braised meat you made is very delicious, so I thought of ordering it from here.”

Ming Zhiyan had eaten her braised meat yesterday, the taste was no worse than that of the Imperial Chefs in the palace.

Jian Qingqing really thought that he had to repay her kindness. However, after hearing what he said, she finally understood.

In this way, those who did not accept were fools. Why did she not want more business?

She said loudly, “I’ll accept it!”

Ming Zhiyan smiled, she was really a child.

“Alright, I’ll get someone to come and take it tomorrow.”

Wang Li, who was following at the side, looked at her from the sidelines. He had never seen his Master treat anyone so well. It seemed that this Little Lady Jian, who had saved his Master, was not ordinary.

Jian Qingqing, who had completed a business deal, was very happy. She decided to buy another big iron pot. Many of the regular customers had returned today. It seemed that the amount of stewed meat could return to before.

She had received another order of 50 catties. She would not be able to stew all the meat it if she did not buy another pot, now that she had earned money, she did not care about the 20 taels of silver anymore.

After booking the big metal pot, she carried a roasted duck to meet Wei Wusheng. She had specially reserved this for him. Ever since she had asked for the price of the medicinal herbs the last time, she had not gone to see him. At least he had taught her the method of brewing the medicinal herbs.

When Wei Wusheng saw her, he rolled his eyes at her in annoyance. “Why? You haven’t come for so many days. Have you forgotten about me, your Big Brother?”

Jian Qingqing said fawningly, “How can I forget? I was just too busy! Look, I even brought you roast duck!”

Wei Wusheng said in surprise, “Oh, isn’t this the roast duck that has been very popular these past two days? How did you buy it?”

“Why, you already know that there are roast ducks sold, but you’ve never heard of people selling roast ducks?”

Wei Wusheng asked doubtfully, “You’re selling it?”

Jian Qingqing puffed out her chest proudly, “Of course!”

“Yo! Not bad! I didn’t know that you had such skills. Looks like I’ll definitely want to be your friend!”

!!

Wei Wusheng took the roast duck and casually tore off a duck leg. He took a big bite and praised, “Yes! The taste is not bad!”

“Right! My skills are praised by everyone! I can even make fried chicken. If you like it, I’ll make it for you in the future!”

Hearing that, Wei Wusheng was not surprised, but said suspiciously, “Tell me, what do you need from me? You’re so attentive.”

Jian Qingqing chuckled, “You’re really smart and wise!”

Wei Wusheng smiled, and he pretended to laugh, “Stop flattering me, tell me quickly!”

Jian Qingqing was not afraid of him. Instead, she poured tea for him. “Then I’ll be straightforward. Big Brother, do you have any prescription for medicinal herbs? The kind that can strengthen the body and nourish the blood and Qi, I want to buy it back for my family to eat.”

Wei Wusheng did not say anything. He turned the teacup and seemed to be thinking about something.

Jian Qingqing was nervous. Many prescriptions belonged to a doctor’s exclusive formula. She knew that her request was very abrupt, but her grandfather and the others had been working so hard for the past few years, and their bodies were already severely depleted. She wanted to make some Medicinal Cuisine to nourish them.

“Big Brother, from your reaction, I can tell that you have such a prescription. Is it with another doctor? Is it convenient for you to tell me? I can go and talk to him. I can also spend money to buy the prescription.”

“Brother, I beg you, I can buy it no matter how much it costs.”

Wei Wusheng came back to his senses and knocked on her forehead. “What do you mean? I’ll give it to you!”

Ads by Pubfuture

He was just thinking about which prescription had the best effect, but he did not know that the little girl in front of him had imagined so many things.

Jian Qingqing was in disbelief and her eyes were wide open. She exclaimed, “Really?! Brother, you’re giving it to me? Really? Really?”

Wei Wusheng rolled his eyes at her. “Of course. Who do you think I am? How can I lie to you? I have the Imperial Palace’s secret recipe, do you want it? It’s my Wei Family’s treasured prescription.”

Jian Qingqing was so pleasantly surprised that her words were incoherent. “Really, really, really! Do you really not want money? Then what do you want? As long as I can do it, I can give it to you! If you don’t want anything, I feel a little uneasy!”

This was the first time Wei Wusheng saw her so emotional and felt that it was a little funny. In the past, she always acted like a little adult and spoke with a steady and capable voice.

“If you feel guilty, then in the future, you can send me whatever delicious food you make. For example, roast duck. You can send it to me every day.”

Jian Qingqing felt that Wei Wusheng was a little mysterious. Initially, she thought that he was just a medicine boy from the Ji Shan Hall, but now it seemed that his status was not ordinary.

He gave her the prescription just like that. That little bit of food was nothing to her at all. Now that she was the beneficiary of such a gift, she felt great!

She said loudly, “No problem!”

Wei Wusheng suddenly thought of something. “Oh right, since you’re selling roast duck, then you’re also selling stewed meat, right? I also have a prescription here that can be added into the stew, and the taste can be even better.”

He had often gone to Yunlai Restaurant to eat stewed meat before, and later, when he heard that there was a stall set up, he asked his own servants to buy it back. He also heard about the roast duck, but he did not manage to buy it even after going there twice. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Really?” Jian Qingqing was even more surprised. She knew that some herbs can be put into stewed meat. It was healthier and tasted better. However, those were the exclusive recipes of others. What she made only used conventional spices.

56 New House Banquet

“Thank you, Big Brother! Let me know what you want to eat in the future. I’m not good at anything else, but I’m very good at cooking!”

Wei Wusheng really enjoyed her fawning manner and asked her to write down the recipe for the Medicinal Cuisine, and asked her to have a meal with him at the same time.

… Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Wei Wusheng’s recipe was indeed very useful. She added a few medicinal herbs into the brine to make it taste even better. There was an endless stream of people coming to buy it, and it simply could not meet the demand. There were even some customers who said that their appetite had become better after eating her braised meat.

Jian Qingqing felt that it was a very fulfilling thing for the things she made to be liked by others. When she earned enough money to let her family live a prosperous life, she also wanted to open a restaurant. When the time came, she would hire a few chefs and cook as she pleased. There was no need to be too busy. At that time, life was the life she truly hoped to live.

Jian Qingqing thought that her family’s house would need to be built for at least a month, but she did not expect that it would be completed in 17 days.

The furniture and beds were all custom-made by Old Man Jian himself, and he also brought them back on the day the house was completed.

According to the customs of Shifeng County, the newly built house was to be celebrated by relatives, so on the last day of its completion, Old Man Jian invited the whole village to have a lively meal.

At this time, the spring planting had entered the follow-up stage, and many people had already planted everything they needed to plant, and the Jian Family was no exception. So today, the family was free to decorate the new house.

The Jian Family had been eating very well during this period of time, and Jian Qingqing often prepared Medicinal Cuisine for them, so they were no longer as skinny as before. Their faces had become ruddy and fleshy, and their bodies had become much stronger.

Xiao Hu and Jian Qingqing had also grown a little taller, and the Xiao Lang could also run and jump. They were very naughty.

Due to the honeysuckle incident in the Jian Family Village, each family had earned some money, so they were very grateful to Jian Qingqing. They came to help decorate their house.

Today, Jian Qingqing was the head chef and made a lot of food, including braised meat and roast duck. The kitchen was bustling with activity.

In the new house, Jian Dalang and the uncles in the village were moving furniture inside. The children picked up the dumplings and snacks. They ran from room to room.

Outside the house, Mother Jian and a group of aunties were knitting straw mats. The straw mats were woven by the guests on the day the new house was built. At night, the host would sleep on the newly woven straw mats.

Suddenly, the lively crowd quieted down and looked in a certain direction.

Following their line of sight, a young man on a tall horse slowly walked along the path. The young man was dressed in a blue brocade robe, and his face was like a crown of jade.

The Jian Family villagers were stunned for a moment and stared blankly at the approaching person.

The Village Chief put down the things in his hands and asked nervously, “May I ask who Young Master is looking for?”

Ming Zhiyan had dismounted, he nodded and replied, “There’s no need to be so polite, Old Man. I’m a guest here for the banquet.”

The Village Chief was puzzled. When did Old Man Jian have such a rich relative?

Standing at the side of the main door, Jian Dalang also came back to his senses and poked Old Man Jian. “Father, is that the person that big sister saved that day?”

That day, it was Jian Dalang who helped clean Ming Zhiyan’s body and change his clothes. He had never seen such a handsome young man in his life, so he had a deep impression of him.

Old Man Jian looked at him carefully. “It seems to be him. Let’s go and ask him.”

When they went over, they heard Ming Zhiyan’s reply and immediately smiled. “Young Master Ming, please come in quickly. Today, Big Sister is cooking, so the food will be enough!”

Ming Zhiyan cupped his fists and saluted. “Thank you, Uncle.”

“Hey, come in and sit down! Brother, lead Young Master Ming’s horse to the stable!”

Old Man Jian was very happy with Ming Zhiyan’s arrival. He wanted to grab Ming Zhiyan’s hand and bring him in. However, he was afraid that he would be too abrupt.

Ming Zhiyan glanced at him and took the initiative to help him into the house.

57 The County Magistrate Came the House

Jian Qingqing heard the commotion and looked outside. She happened to see her grandfather bringing Ming Zhiyan in. She handed the spatula to her aunt who was helping her. She quickly went out to welcome him. “My Lord, why are you here?”

Ming Zhiyan’s lips twitched slightly and revealed a smile. “I heard that your new house is having a banquet. I took the liberty of coming here to ask for a bowl of wine to drink.”

“Sure, sure. Please take a seat first. The dishes will be ready soon.”

Jian Qingqing was going to make him a pot of tea. The villagers were not used to this stuff, so she only bought some to keep as a precaution.

Ming Zhiyan stopped her. “Miss Jian, you don’t have to be so polite. Please don’t mind me.”

Jian Qingqing still went into the kitchen and made him a pot of tea. She did not know how much of a shock their conversation had left the villagers.

“My, My Lord?” Old Man Jian asked with his mouth agape.

Ming Zhiyan had yet to introduce him, he nodded slightly and said, “I am the new County Magistrate of Shifeng County, Ming Zhiyan.”

Old Man Jian stared blankly at his mouth, which opened and closed. After a long while, he looked up at the sky and let out a long cry, “Oh my God!”

Ads by Pubfuture

He was so excited that he was incoherent. “It’s an official! An official!”

The Village Chief was also in disbelief. “You, you are really the County Magistrate?” n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Ming Zhi Yan nodded. “It’s true.”

Instantly, the eyes of the entire village were focused on him. Their eyes were as bright as gold. An old lady’s eyes were filled with tears. “It’s really the County Magistrate! My Lord, thank you for allowing us to open up the land for farming. Otherwise, we don’t know how much suffering we will have to endure in the future!”

When she said this, the villagers all nodded emotionally. “Thank you, County Magistrate!”

Ming Zhiyan was not used to such an occasion. In the past, in the Capital, those people wanted nothing more than to eat his flesh and drink his blood. This was the first time someone had thanked him, and he was so embarrassed that he was unable to accept it.

When Jian Qingqing came out, she saw a handsome young man surrounded by the aunts and uncles, his face slightly red.

She felt that he was inexplicably cute and could not help but laugh out loud. After admiring him for a while, she decided to go over and save him.

“Grandfather, Lord Ming, the tea is ready. Go and sit down.”

Jian Qingqing pulled him out of the encirclement and brought him into the house. She made a cup of tea and said, “The house hasn’t been fully built yet. It’s a little chaotic. Please forgive me.”

Ads by Pubfuture

Ming Zhiyan shook his head slightly. He could see that Jian Qingqing was uncomfortable and said, “It’s nothing. Miss Jian, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it. I’ll do as I please.”

Jian Qingqing did not really want to stay here to accompany him. The main reason was that she still had a lot of work to do, so she nodded and said, “Okay. Then Grandfather, Father, you guys accompany Lord Ming and chat.”

“Ah, okay.”

Old Man Jian and Jian Dalang were at a loss. This was the first time they had seen such a big official. It was as if they were dreaming.

Although they had saved his life before, they still did not dare to talk to him. They sat at the side and looked at him dryly.

Ming Zhiyan took a sip of tea and took the initiative to find a topic to talk about. “I am here to thank you for saving my life. I was in a hurry earlier and could not thank you in person. It’s my fault.”

Being thanked by the County Magistrate in person, Old Man Jian and Jian Dalang were so excited that their faces were red. They quickly waved their hands. “You’re welcome. This is what we should do.”

“If you all need any help in the future, you can come to me. I will definitely do my best to help.”

“Yes, yes, yes. Thank you, My Lord.”

Ming Zhiyan did not have the habit of putting on airs. He said, “Old Man and Jian Dalang, you can just call me Zhiyan in private.”

Old Man Jian repeatedly waved his hands and said. “I can’t do that. I don’t dare to call you by your name.”

“It’s okay. I’m the junior here. You’re the elder. It’s only right for an elder to call me by my name.”

Old Man Jian felt that Ming Zhiyan was a kind, polite, and humble official. He replied excitedly, “Hey, okay, okay, okay!”

Ming Zhiyan had poured himself another cup of tea, the scene quieted down once again. Old Man Jian and Jian Dalang nervously held each other’s hands, not knowing what to say.

Ming Zhiyan was not a talkative person, he looked at the two nervous people in front of him and once again brought up the topic, “Old Man, this house of yours is very impressive.”

Speaking of houses, Old Man Jian was very proud. That pride instantly overcame his restraint, “Of course! This is the only one in our Jian Family village! This is all thanks to Big Sister. You saw it a month ago, right? We were still living in that leaky thatched hut! Bis Sister is so smart. She sold mushrooms, then sold stewed meat, which slowly made our family better. We ate meat every meal, and now we have a brick house! Everyone in the village praised me for raising a good granddaughter!”

Ming Zhiyan nodded. He had sent people to investigate Jian Qingqing after she reported to the authorities last time. He knew that what she had done in the past month could change the face of the family in such a short time, indeed, there were many women who did not have the wisdom and character. He generously agreed, “Miss Jian is indeed very intelligent.”

Old Man Jian was full of pride when he mentioned Jian Qingqing. “That’s right! Big Sister is indeed very intelligent!”

After that, he seemed to realize that he was talking to an official. He had said all the things that he usually showed off to the villagers, so he said embarrassedly, “My Lord… Zhi, Zhiyan, am I talking too much?”

Ming Zhiyan smiled. “It’s okay. Uncle, let’s go out for a walk.”

“Ah, okay!”

Old Man Jian took Ming Zhiyan to tour the new house. The new house took up a lot of land. It was divided into east and west wing rooms. All of them were made of bricks and tiles. This was the only one in all the villages in the ten miles. Now, only the bed, cabinet, and table were moved into the house, the rest of the rooms were slowly added after they were moved in. It was still empty, and there was nothing to see.

Ming Zhiyan quietly followed behind Old Man Jian and listened to him introduce these rooms. For example, who lived in this room, and what was this room used for.

Ming Zhiyan’s horse was placed in a big shed outside the room by Jian Dalang. It was intended to be used to raise cattle.

At this moment, a group of children were lying on the fence, their eyes sparkling as they looked at the horse eating grass in the shed. They let out cries of surprise from time to time.

Ming Zhiyan saw their eager gazes and went in to lead the horse out.

“Do you want to touch it?”

The tall horse let out a disgruntled snort. Ming Zhiyan patted its head. The horse that was originally unhappy immediately lowered its proud head. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

It could not be helped, its Master was too cruel.

The children looked at each other and hesitated. Ming Zhiyan’s aura was too strong, they did not dare to go over.

Of course, they did not know what an aura was, but they felt that this brother did not look easy to deal with, and was not easy to talk to.

Xiao Hu also really wanted to touch this very fierce-looking big horse, but looking at the expressionless Ming Zhiyan, he was still a little afraid.

In the end, it was the younger Xiao Lang. He hugged the front leg of the horse and shouted loudly, “I want to ride the big horse! Ride the big horse!”

The horse resisted the urge to kick the child over and turned its head to the side.

After standing there for so long without anyone coming forward, Ming Zhiyan was actually a little embarrassed.

Finally, someone came. Ming Zhiyan happily raised Xiao Lang and put him on the horse’s back.

59 Eating Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“Good boy!”

Xiao Lang sat happily on the horse’s back and giggled. He was so happy that he revealed a row of small and neat teeth. His two small hands excitedly patted the horse’s back. “Hyah! Hyah!”

When Xiao Hu and Xiao Ye saw their younger brother sitting on the horse’s back in a majestic manner, envy overcame their timidity. The two brothers looked at each other and went forward one after another. They awkwardly performed the gentleman’s etiquette that a teacher taught them, they said nervously, “Sir, sir, I also want to ride!”

Ming Zhiyan patted Xiao Ye’s head and carried them both to the horse, he asked gently, “Have you both studied?”

Xiao Ye answered shyly, his voice as soft as a mosquito, “Yes.”

!!

Xiao Hu was the oldest and braver. He answered loudly, “We have been in school for more than ten days. We are at the Detian Academy in the county. Sir, do you know the Detian Academy?”

“Of course I do. The gentleman from the Detian Academy is very powerful.” There were three academies in the county besides the county school. These academies were all to train talents for the Imperial Court, so Ming Zhiyan was very concerned about them.

He patted the shoulders of the two people. “Study hard and you will serve the Imperial Court in the future.”

“Yes!” The two children who had only been in school for more than ten days were very excited after receiving the encouragement from the County Magistrate.

When it was time to eat, the children in the village had already taken turns to sit on the big horses. At this moment, the group of children were all extremely excited. They surrounded Ming Zhiyan and called him Big Brother non-stop, they completely lost their initial fear.

Jian Qingqing stood at the door and shouted, “It’s time to eat!”

In an instant, a group of children ran over like the wind. Ming Zhiyan was pulled by Xiao Hu and ran in the middle.

“Let’s go, brother, eat with us. My sister’s food is so delicious!”

Old Man Jian originally wanted to arrange for him to sit at the master table, but seeing that he was enjoying sitting among the children, he thought about it and decided to give up. Even though Ming Zhiyan was an official, he did not look that old. He was still young, so he should sit at the same table as the children.

Jian Qingqing looked at the people surrounded by a group of children. She could not help but Sigh at Ming Zhiyan’s popularity. Both adults and children liked him.

When the dishes were served, everyone was like a wolf seeing meat. They dug out the rice ferociously.

Mmm, how fragrant!

The villagers lamented that Jian Qingqing’s family was about to get up. The dishes for a new family banquet were so good. The rice was pure white rice. They had not even seen the dishes on the table. Not only were there stewed meat and roast duck, there were also sweet and sour ribs, red braised meat, and mutton soup. All of them were meat!

The green and tender vegetables were placed on the porcelain-white plate. When they were filled with oil and salt, they were so delicious that they wanted to swallow their tongues!

Moreover, the Jian Family’s prestige was so great that even the County Magistrate and adults came to congratulate them!

After eating this meal, it was enough for them to brag about for the rest of their lives!

As soon as the dishes on the child’s table were served, the children rushed over. No matter how elegant Ming Zhiyan ate, the food was so good that he had no choice but eat more than usual. However, he chose his favorite dishes and did not touch the vegetables or mutton soup.

The mutton soup did not have the smell of mutton at all. Instead, it reflected the freshness of mutton. The vegetables had a light sweetness to it. Ming Zhiyan felt that Jian Qingqing’s cooking skills were enough to be the head chef of a big restaurant.

When Xiao Ye saw that Ming Zhiyan only ate vegetables, he picked up a piece of rib that he thought was the best and gave it to him. Then, he buried his face in the bowl shyly.

Ming Zhiyan smiled and also gave him a piece. “You eat too.”

Xiao Ye happily squinted his eyes and ate.

60 Processing Medicinal Herbs

Old Man Jian looked at the table with a smile. The Village Chief asked in a low voice, “Brother Quan, how do you know the County Magistrate?”

Old Man Jian also replied in a low voice, “He was injured once and was saved by Big Sister. At that time, we didn’t know that he was the County Magistrate.”

The Village Chief understood. It seemed that it was not unreasonable for Old Man Jian’s family to be able to prosper. If it was him, it should be said that the vast majority of the people in the village would definitely not save an injured person they did not know. In this world, they might get into trouble if they got involved with random, dangerous people.

If Jian Qingqing dared to save him, it meant that she was a kind person. Such a person’s luck was usually not that bad.

!!

He could not be envious. It was his fault that his family did not have such a clear-minded granddaughter, the Village Chief thought to himself bitterly. However, when he thought of the path that Jian Qingqing provided for the villagers to make money, he drank a mouthful of rice wine happily. It was their fortune to have such a blessed life in the Jian Family Village!

Ming Zhiyan did not stay after the meal, he left with the gifts and rode away.

The villagers stayed behind to help clean up the leftovers. Mother Jian asked them to pack up the leftovers. Although it was leftovers, it was still a very rich feast for the villagers who had not eaten meat for a long time, this action was also greatly praised by the villagers.

After sending off the guests, Jian Qingqing looked at the gift Ming Zhiyan had left behind. She knew that it was difficult. This gift was placed in an exquisite and luxurious wooden box. The things inside should not be too bad.

However, she was afraid that it would be too expensive and she would not be able to pay it back in the future.

Old Man Jian comforted her, “Big sister, open it. They know what kind of family we are. They don’t expect us to be able to pay back the same value of the gift. Moreover, we have saved him before. This is a fair gift.”

Jian Qingqing thought about it and agreed, so she opened the box without feeling guilty.

Seeing the things inside, she let out a sigh of relief. It turned out to be two sets of the four treasures of the study. It seemed that he knew that Little Hu and little ye were studying, so he gave them such practical things. Once again, she sighed with emotion at his thoughtfulness. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

With one look, she could tell that these two sets of treasures of the study, and they were of high quality. They were many times better than the ones she had bought in the county. They could be left behind to wait for Xiao Hu and the others to have some progress in their studies before they use them. It would be a waste if they used them now.

“Big Sister, what is it?”

“Two sets of treasures of the study.”

Old Man Jian had never heard of it before. “What is that?”

Jian Qingqing explained patiently, “The four treasures of the study are pens, ink, paper, and inkstones. They are things used for reading.”

“Aiyo!” Old Man Jian understood this time. “You have to put away the things used for reading. They are precious!”

“Okay, I’ll put them away. I’ll use them when Xiao Hu and the others are older.”

…

After the feast in the new house, the spring planting came to an end. Jian Qingqing did not plan to let her grandfather and the others continue to work so hard. She wanted to hire someone to do the land development work, or she could buy it from someone else.

Old Man Jian and the others did not agree. Farmers did not have a sense of security without touching the ground. However, under Jian Qingqing’s strong request, they still agreed to what she called the ‘combination of work and rest’.

In addition to the villagers starting to develop the land in a frenzy, they also began to produce the Iron-skinned Dendrobium.

The village chief had people dig up all the Dendrobium, and all the village women worked together to produce the Dendrobium. The money they sold was distributed according to the population.

Producing medicinal herbs was a very delicate and tiring task. Jian Qingqing spent two days teaching them and produced three pots of medicinal herbs that were damaged. This made their hearts ache. These things could be sold for money, so they had to be even more careful.

They were not afraid of being tired, but they were afraid of not having money.

Jian Qingqing saw that they had all learned well, so she left to continue her business.
