Chapter 196 Pretending to claim credit

Du didn't take Leng Lanzhi's words to heart and even thought it was ridiculous.

This country bumpkin still wants to destroy her?

Don’t you think that just because she is County Sheriff Li’s cousin, you can do whatever you want?

A county governor or something like that is still far behind in front of the minister, right?

Then Li Changlin had better not have any special thoughts. If the other party really dares to come to Shang Shu to gossip, she will let them know the power of the wind on the pillow!

Leng Lanzhi said nothing more.

She is not willing to argue with a concubine and lose her status.

When she returns to Beijing, she will let Wu Shangshu know a little bit about how his concubine was disrespectful to her in Tianhai City.

Without her taking action, Wu Shangshu would take care of this concubine by himself.

And it can directly cut off Du's capital for rebellion.

If you want to hit a snake, you have to hit it within seven inches. Otherwise, it would be really boring to have a small fight.

Just like people from the Shui family.

The movement caused by Master Shui was not small, but it was only within a small area and did not affect the male guests.

What's more, the protagonist today is Wu Shangshu, not the Li family. Wu Shangshu's interest is still there, so the banquet can naturally continue.

Tonight's banquet has a very important part - commendation.

The commendation will be held at the dinner.

Before the banquet started, Leng Lan thought Lanyuan was too noisy, so he went to the small garden of the Sheriff's Mansion, planning to go back when the banquet officially started.

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a figure from the corner of her eye: "Dr. Qian's family?"

Boss Qian also saw him and couldn't help being stunned: "Miss Shui, why are you here?"

Leng Lanzhi said briefly: "I have been living in the county magistrate's mansion since I left the inn. Are you here to attend the commendation ceremony?"

Boss Qian shook his head: "No, I'm here to see Governor Li. Some of the data on my batch of goods don't match up, but I haven't seen Brother Du in the past few days, so I can only come to see Governor Li Bingming for the situation."

In fact, he and Boss Du took the wrong account book. The one in his hand belonged to Boss Du, and Boss Du took his.

When he checked the data, he found that Boss Du's account book had incorrectly recorded a grain amount, and the original three thousand shi of polished rice had been recorded as 6,000 shi.

He wanted to confirm with Boss Du and ask him to make corrections in time. Otherwise, once the county guard discovered this omission and suspected that they were greedy for credit and exaggerated their achievements, it would be bad!

But for some reason, every time he went to see Boss Du, he would catch up with Boss Du when he went out.

Gu Zhan chuckled lightly: "Boss Du is here to attend the celebration banquet today. Why don't Boss Qian go over and see the excitement?"

Boss Qian was really curious about this celebration banquet, but he was a little unsure: "Can I go in?"

Gu Zhan's smile became even brighter: "With my lady here, Boss Qian's family can naturally enter."

Finally, the banquet began.

Although the dinner was also divided into men's and women's seats, they were no longer separated by a courtyard, but in the same hall, with a screen separating the men's and women's seats.

In this way, when Wu Shangshu was giving commendations, the female seats could also see the talents who had been commended.

Jia was very excited: "Cousin, many of the heroes this time are local young talents. Can you help me see if there are any suitable ones?"

"Local young talent?" Leng Lanzhi was a little surprised.

She also thought that the Jia family would target official families. After all, most of the marriages of the children of high-status families were used as a tool for family marriage.

But Jia's words didn't mean she cared about the other person's identity.

Jia said: "Our family is already the largest official in Tianhai City. Apart from the Liang family, who else in the city can officially surpass our family? Besides, I don't want to consolidate my position through marriage."

If she was this kind of person who was eager for quick success, their family wouldn't have been stuck in the position of county magistrate for eight years.

You know, when Li Changlin was the county magistrate, his political performance was very good. If he had been a more diplomatic person, he would have been promoted long ago.

But Lin Changlin has been suppressed.

Firstly, it's because he seems smooth, but in fact he is very principled and will not give in on matters that concern the interests of the people.

During his tenure, he has always used weak force to protect the local people.

His existence is a protective umbrella and patron saint for the common people. For superiors, it is a thorn in the side.

Secondly, it was because neither of them had ever thought of using their children in exchange for benefits. Otherwise, if Li Tianer had just given her to the then county magistrate when she was just a hair girl, wouldn't the future be difficult?

Jia sighed: "I don't have any big ambitions in this life. I just hope that the master can be safe and that the children can be safe, happy, prosperous and prosperous. That's enough. I hope that the other half of the children in the future will be a caring person who knows both cold and hot.

Identity is secondary."

Leng Lanzhi nodded.

While the two were talking, Wu Shangshu had already walked to the front and began to commend.

After a lengthy opening remarks, Wu Shangshu finally got to the point: "In this disaster relief, there are several heroes who have performed outstandingly and deserve awards! The first one is Wen Ruxu!"

Hearing this name, Leng Lan was stunned, and the ladies also showed surprised expressions: "Why is it him?"

This Wen Ruxu was Leng Lanzhi's student who was good at reading characters. Unexpectedly, by such a coincidence, the owner of a painting she opened casually was the first recipient of the award tonight.

Wu Shangshu is still talking about Wen Ruxu's achievements.

It turned out that the mountain village where Wen Ruxu lived was also blocked by heavy snow, but instead of waiting for the court's rescue, he actively organized people in the village to rescue himself.

Although we experienced rockslides and other accidents during the trip, we were able to escape without any danger.

While other villages were trapped in the mountains for more than ten days, Wen Ruxu's village not only opened the passage on its own, but also helped other villages.

When the county's personnel arrived, Wen Ruxu took the initiative to lead the way and estimated the best excavation position, which reduced a lot of trouble for the rescuers and saved a lot of time.

In view of his outstanding contribution, Wu Shangshu discussed with the county and city and decided that the county and city would first reward him with one hundred taels of silver.

As for the rewards from the imperial court, they will have to wait until Wu Shangshu returns to report.

After Wen Ruxu, Wu Shangshu named several more people who had made outstanding contributions, and the rewards varied.

Finally, Wu Shangshu said with a smile: "I think the next person is very worthy of mentioning."

"He was originally just a businessman, and he was not even in Tianhai City when the natural disaster occurred. However, in order to support his hometown, he bravely transported tens of thousands of stones of grain and tens of thousands of winter clothes from thousands of miles to Tianhai City, and brought

All food and winter clothes were donated to the government."

"So loyal and courageous, he was a role model at the time and should be rewarded!"

Everyone's curiosity was aroused.

Wu Shangshu pointed in one direction and said loudly: "He is the owner of Du's caravan, Du Degui!"

As Wu Shangshu finished speaking, Boss Du stood up and said humbly: "Wu Shangshu deserves the award, this is what a villain should do!"

Among the female guests, someone thought of something: "Hey, what a coincidence, this boss Du is also named Du."

Du Shi smiled very gently and modestly: "He is exactly my cousin."

The female guests immediately complimented her: "It turns out he is Sister Du's brother, no wonder he is so loyal and courageous!"

Du Shi seemed to be humble and said: "I can't compare to Miss Shui. Her cousin is Mr. Li, and he has made great contributions to this disaster relief."

Mrs. Liang snorted: "Sister Du, don't forget that Miss Shui has a crazy relative like Master Shui!"

"Shuizhubu's family is indeed crazy, but Boss Du is not too generous." Leng Lanzhi gently twirled the tea cup.
