Chapter 138： Visit Jiang Ning’s house

"Everything the county magistrate said is true, and the people in Ping'an County can all testify!" Dong Ze knelt down to plead for Xie Yucheng.

Huang Zhengyang was so moved that tears filled his eyes. After calming down, he said slowly: "You all get up. Magistrate Xie carefully writes down the situation of Xiangyao. I will order people to rush to the capital."

Dong Ze was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Sir, I'll go get ready now."

Xie Yucheng sat down and Huang Zhengyang looked at him gratefully, "I was already prepared when I came here. I didn't expect that Magistrate Xie would give me such a big surprise."

Xie Yucheng sighed, "The official did not do enough. If the woman hadn't discovered the taro this time and generously handed it over, Ping'an County would have been in chaos for a while. Since the taro was planted, although the people have My heart is heavy, but I am still calm, and I am thinking about rebuilding my home.

Nowadays, all the damaged houses in Ping'an County have been demolished and rebuilt. Xiaguan, who is unable to rebuild, asked the county government to come forward to ensure that everyone can live in a house. In addition, Xiaguan is promoting Kang in Ping'an County this year, so they can have an easy time this winter. Some. "

"Master Xie is indeed an official of one parent, I admire you!" Xu Chun said with admiration.

Huang Zhengyang nodded and asked: "Who is the woman you are talking about? She made a great contribution to the discovery of taro, and she must report it to the court for commendation."

Xie Yucheng immediately handed over his hand and said, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy."

Huang Zhengyang raised his eyebrows, "Is it possible that Mr. Xie still knows this woman?"

Xie Yucheng did not dare to hide it, "Sir, this woman is a villager in Rongshu Village. Her husband's surname is Yang. She is a widowed person. She has to support five children. It is really difficult for her to farm the land alone. So this woman is thinking He is relatively lively and often goes into the mountains to pick various wild vegetables, fruits and medicinal materials, and he knows a lot.

Xiaguan has dealt with her several times, and she has also helped him solve some problems. She is a rare and smart person. "

 Tian Feng, who was standing behind Huang Zhengyang, carefully tugged on his sleeve.

Huang Zhengyang's heart trembled, and he suddenly smiled, "So I want to meet you! Why don't we go to Rongshu Village for a walk. I just thought about the people's sentiments here. Can Magistrate Xie arrange it?" "

Xie Yucheng agreed without much thought.

When the group arrived at Rongshu Village, the two old women sitting at the entrance of the village were so frightened that they almost knocked on their gongs.

Dong Ze hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Envoy is here for inspection. Don't panic."

The two old women knew that the highest official was the county magistrate. Now seeing the county magistrate being so respectful to the imperial envoy, they were so frightened that they did not dare to take a breath.

Dong Ze hurriedly asked the Yamen to send them back, and respectfully said to Huang Zhengyang: "Master Imperial Envoy, Mrs. Jiang's home is in the east of the village. You come with the younger one."

The two old women finally understood. At the same time, they became more and more in awe of Jiang Ning. Even high-ranking officials came to see her. She was no longer the Jiang who they could make up curses at will.

Jiang Ning was busy making paper at home. When he heard the sound, he went to open the door and was startled, "Thank you, Sir! These are..."

When his eyes met Tian Feng's, Jiang Ning was shocked.

Tian Feng made a silent gesture towards her.

Huang Zhengyang nodded to her very politely, and waved to the other unimportant entourage to wait outside the door, "Ms. Jiang, can we go in and talk?"

Jiang Ning came to his senses and quickly turned sideways to let the four of them in.

Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the rice paper drying in the yard.

Xie Yucheng exclaimed: "Ms. Jiang, are you making paper yourself?"

“I never thought Mrs. Jiang could have such abilities!” Dong Ze was also stunned. He subconsciously stepped forward to check, wanting to touch but not daring to touch her.

Jiang Ning lowered his eyes and said humbly: "My family is poor and I have two children studying. I can only find ways to save these expenses as much as possible. If you are interested, I can show you the finished product." "Thank you!" Xie Yucheng looked expectant.

Waiting for Jiang Ning to put a roll of paper in front of everyone.

The eyes of all the readers, including Huang Zhengyang, were brightened. They first felt the paper and then smelled it.

Xu Chun said regretfully: "My hands are itchy, but it's a pity that I don't have an inkstone."

Jiang Ning immediately took out the set of Four Treasures of the Study Room given by the Zhong family, "This is a collection of treasures from the house of a common woman. A few adults can try it out."

When several people saw this set of four treasures of the study, their hearts became itchy.

They took turns writing and drawing. Huang Zhengyang left a calligraphy painting, Xu Chun painted a simple ink painting, and Xie Yucheng also wrote a poem.

The three of them admired it for a while, and then asked Jiang Ning, "Ms. Jiang, are you willing to sell your rice paper?"

Jiang Ning nodded calmly, "The gentlemen and scholars at Mapo Academy often buy it, and the women of the common people have to send goods there twice a month."

"Very good, very good! I will stay in Quzhou Prefecture for a while. Can Mrs. Jiang prepare a batch of goods? I will take it away then." Huang Zhengyang made a generous purchase in front of others.

Xu Chun was startled and said quickly: "I want it too, Mrs. Jiang, you can't favor one box over another. I also want one box, no, two boxes!"

Xie Yucheng chuckled and said: "Since both adults want it, I won't fight for the position. I'll wait until Mrs. Jiang prepares the papers that the two adults want."

Xu Chun glared at him dissatisfied, "I know you are close to the water, so you don't have to be so arrogant!"

When a group of people entered the main room, Xu Chun became interested after just one glance, "Why is this house so different from the adobe houses I've seen?"

Jiang Ning looked surprised, "Sir, do you also do research?"

Xie Yucheng coughed twice and introduced: "This is Mr. Xu, the Minister of Industry."

Jiang Ning was even more surprised. After reacting, he frowned and asked, "Master Xu, are you here to investigate the Weijiang embankment breach?"

"How do you know?" The others were no longer calm now, and looked at Jiang Ning with more scrutiny.

Jiang Ning chuckled lightly and looked at Huang Zhengyang, "This is the Imperial Envoy. He should be responsible for disaster relief. The Ministry of Works is responsible for water conservancy. You are the Minister of the Ministry of Works. You can guess it with a little thought."

“I didn’t expect a woman like Mrs. Jiang to know so much about the imperial court.” Huang Zhengyang said meaningfully.

Jiang Ning was calm, "Ever since the children at home started to study, the women started to inquire. We don't have a big tree to rely on, so we can only do everything ourselves. However, the information the women have inquired about is limited, and they don't know much."

"That's not much! I think your village chief doesn't even know what the minister of the Ministry of Industry does." Xu Wufen said in a serious tone, teasingly.

Jiang Ning pursed his lips, curled his lips, and said: "If your Excellency wants to investigate the Weijiang embankment breach, the civilian woman can introduce you to someone who knows something about it."

"who?"

Jiang Ning went out to call for help.

Huang Zhengyang said with deep eyes: "This woman is extraordinary! Has her background been investigated?"
