Chapter 1300 Qingyuan County
"I heard from them that the county magistrate's wife was a bit squeamish and had a bad temper. She even scratched the face of the former magistrate because of the concubine matter."
Xu Yujin: "..."
Now, not only the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law became a joke, but also the county magistrate.
In this way, can the prestige of the county magistrate still be established?
After listening to what the stewardess inquired about, Xu Yujin decided to learn a lesson and quickly let the people of Qingyuan County understand that their current county magistrate was completely different from the previous ones.
Only by completely separating them can we find ways to help Zhu San quickly establish his prestige and consolidate the real power of the county government.
Based on what the housekeeper learned, Xu Yujin canceled the "people-friendly route" she had prepared before, and directly adopted the posture of a noble family, which was both high-definition and well-regulated, and could only be viewed from a distance and not played with.
The mother-in-law who was invited to clean saw Xu Yujin's arrogant attitude. She didn't even dare to show off when she was greeted in the back office. Then she took the little maid brought by Xu Yujin and asked: "Your wife... seems to have a bad temper."
She’s a bit big, what’s her background?”
Although there were some fellow villagers who didn't understand them well, this little maid was originally prepared by Xu Yujin in advance and was quite talented in language.
She said in confusion, "Are you talking about our wife? Our wife doesn't have a bad temper. She comes from a wealthy family, and it's normal for her to have a high profile. But as long as you behave and don't break any rules, you'll be fine."
The cleaning woman blinked at the little maid's relaxed expression, and was a little suspicious: "The daughter of a noble family? Isn't that more temperamental than the average daughter of a wealthy family? Doesn't it mean that your county magistrate also comes from a poor family, so how did he marry into a wealthy family?
Thousands of gold?”
"That's because our county magistrate is particularly outstanding. Otherwise, if he didn't even pass the Jinshi exam, Your Majesty would let him come to Qingyuan County to become an official?"
The cleaning woman was confused and didn't quite understand.
When did failing to pass the Jinshi examination become a skill?
However, not only did he not pass the Jinshi exam, he became an official, and he also married a daughter of a wealthy family...it seems to be quite powerful indeed!
She thought to herself, and after finishing her work, she went out and told the others who came to inquire.
Because she speaks quickly, many people already know that the county magistrate who came this time is a very capable person even before it gets dark. Even though he did not pass the Jinshi examination, he not only came to Qingyuan County
He became a county magistrate and married a daughter of a wealthy family.
"I'm telling you, the daughter of a wealthy family is different at first sight. The aura she has on her body, tsk tsk tsk... I just took one look at her and was almost so scared that I didn't dare to breathe."
"Is it that exaggerated?!"
"It's not an exaggeration, it's true. She looks as good-looking as a fairy. Just standing there and looking over at you can calm you down. The aura is absolute. Once you see it, you will know what a noble family is.
She is worth a thousand pieces of gold, but the person in front of her has no way to compare with her."
…
Just as Xu Yujin expected, when she raised her stance a little higher and sent people to guide her carefully, the effect was huge.
Zhu San knew it and gave Xu Yujin a thumbs up.
Xu Yujin curled her lips in embarrassment: "Actually, I can't help you, so I can only start from this place."
"If you marry a wife like this, what else can a husband ask for?"
Holding Xu Yujin's hand, Zhu San was filled with joy, and for a while the couple was filled with tenderness.
When the serving maid saw this, she left the space for the two masters with a smile and exited the room.
Although the new official took office, Zhu San, who had just arrived in Qingyuan County, was not in a hurry to light up his three fires. On the surface, he was introduced by the county magistrate, who knew all the families in Qingyuan County; secretly, he was recommended by Mr. Xu.
Master Luo Qiushan started his own espionage plan and started shopping in various markets in Qingyuan County.
The market is the place where the news is the most complicated, and it is also the place where the gossip is the most and the place closest to the truth.
Master Luo Qiushan doesn't need to do anything. He just buys something here, something there, and then goes to the teahouse to listen to books. It only takes one day.
A month later, Xu Yujin finally tidied up the back office and made it look like a government office.
Gradually, she also began to free up her hands to deal with the major families and gentlemen in Qingyuan County, helping Zhu San find out information about each family's backyard, so as to analyze the situation of each family.
"That Mrs. Qin also said that she was poor, but what she wore on her hand was fine white jade worth a thousand taels," Xu Yujin complained to Zhu San, "I don't know how she could tell that she was poor. Generally, poor people are covered in white jade."
How can she be willing to wear such good things? It’s enough to have one or two sets that can be seen. Every time she comes out, she always has a new set, tsk tsk tsk... She says she is poor, but in reality, she is afraid that others will not know that her family has something.
money."
"That Mr. Qin is quite interesting." When Zhu San heard her talking about the Qin family, he immediately thought of the fat old man he met when the county magistrate took him out for tea.
Well, I can't say that about the old man, he is not as old as his father.
But to be honest, he is really fat.
I don’t know what I ate, but one person can be as fat as others.
He smiles like a Maitreya Buddha and seems to be easy to talk to, but if he can secure his position as the richest businessman in Qingyuan County, then Master Qin will be a simple master?
Zhu San didn't believe it.
Bala, bala, Zhu San said Mr. Qin’s message.
Xu Yujin also talked about the information she got from Mrs. Qin.
As soon as the couple exchanged words, they discovered a lot of interesting things.
This Mrs. Qin is called "Mrs. Qin". She is actually Mr. Qin's wife. Logically speaking, she should be called Mrs. Qin, but she married later and disliked being called "old", so she called herself old.
Therefore, she always calls herself "Mrs. Qin" when she goes out.
When she did this, it made it a little difficult for Mr. Qin's two legitimate sons from his ex-wife to deal with it. After all, the two legitimate sons were also married.
"So, Mrs. Qin has been married to the Qin family for so many years, but she has never been pregnant? How did she secure that position?" Zhu San felt a little curious.
Logically speaking, shouldn't a young lady like this who came in late be in a hurry to have a baby? Why is this Mrs. Qin so weird? Not only did she not give birth, but her back was so stiff that it made Master Qin's two legitimate sons invisible.
Okay, this is too capable, right?
Xu Yujin shook her head: "No, I heard that Mrs. Qin was pregnant when she was young, but for some unknown reason, the child was not saved and she was injured, so she never became pregnant again. Later, I asked the people below to inquire.
Suddenly, it seems that there are rumors that... Mrs. Qin’s child was killed by the eldest son of Qin and the second son of Qin. "
"so?"
Xu Yujin's expression was at a loss for words, and she said: "So, the eldest son of Qin and the second son of Qin all let Mrs. Qin. Even though Mrs. Qin has been married into the Qin family for so many years, there has been no good news, and no one has touched her."
"What about herself? What does she think? Do you think... it's okay for her to be like this?" Regarding the situation within the big family, Zhu San is not as sensitive as Xu Yujin, so he is very willing to communicate with Xu Yujin and wants to listen.
