Chapter 653

Now, once his eyes fall on his daughter, Gu Tuo's eyes become soft and incomparable.

He quickly strode to the past, a daughter in his arms, father and daughter on the kiss, hot greasy crooked can not do.

After teasing his daughter for a long time, Gu tuocai continued: "as soon as the magistrate Mao entered the provincial capital, he had sent someone to Gu Ji to send me a message that he would hold a banquet at his house in the evening. Calculate the time. Let's change our clothes now, and then set out again. It happens that their street trip is over

Xia Ying was surprised. "Why is he in such a hurry? I thought he would have to rest for two or three days before he could take care of us

"That's what I thought. But since the magistrate is so eager to see us, something important must have happened in the capital. " Gu Tuodao.

Xia Ying gets up immediately. "Well, I'm going to change and freshen up."

Gu Tuo also coax his daughter for a long time. Then he changed his clothes for going out to dinner. Then the couple went to the government office by car.

Because Gu Tuo and his daughter have been bored for a long time, which leads to their going out later. By the time they arrived at the government office, magistrate Mao's team had already finished the street tour, and all the people who had gone with him to Beijing to offer treasures had already been dismissed. Only a dozen cars were still parked in the backyard, and a number of young men were coming and going to unload the goods.

Mr. Mao himself came to pick them up.

"My father is now back in the room to bathe and change clothes, and my mother is staring at people preparing food and wine. Please follow me to the back room for a while. After a while, my father and mother will finish their work

Seeing his jubilant appearance, Gu Tuo was very curious.

"How happy is it that the magistrate has met with such a happy event that he has called us here in such a hurry?"

"I don't know. But my father is really happy Mr. Mao said with a smile.

His joy was affected by the happiness of magistrate Mao. But in fact, what did magistrate Mao experience in the capital? He didn't know at all!

However, judging from the way magistrate Mao was laughing, it must be a good thing!

When he didn't get any useful information from him, Gu Tuo shut up.

Several people went to the back hall to wait. The prefect also came out to talk with Xia Ying.

Just said about a cup of tea time, Mao magistrate came.

"Oh, my family rushed back to celebrate the new year. I was so tired that I took a nap when I was bathing just now! Let master Gu wait for a long time. This is not my family's fault. I will make amends to you! "

He bowed his hand and was about to salute.

Gu Tuo Xia Ying returned the gift in a hurry. "You are very kind. You just came back today. According to the rules, we shouldn't have come to disturb you. You can make an exception to let us come here, the first time to hear the good news, we have been grateful

"How can we not let you come here the first time? After all, most of these news are closely related to you The magistrate Mao said with a smile.

Xia Ying and Gu Tuo looked at each other immediately.

"Is it my brother Taki's watch praised by the emperor?"

"Is it my wife's album confirmed by the emperor?"

The husband and wife blurted out.

Magistrate Mao burst out laughing.

"All of them, all of them!"

There are all of them!

Xia Ying and Gu Tuo are happy.

"That would be great!" Xia Ying clapped her hands. "It seems that the harvest of our family is really good this time."

"More than that!" The magistrate Mao said with a smile.

It's more than that?

Xia Ying had no idea. "What else can happen to us?"

Gu Tuo was more direct: "please state clearly."

However, magistrate Mao had a mysterious smile on his face. "Don't worry. When all the others are here, I will announce it in public."

Just as a few people were talking, the aides under the magistrate Mao also rushed to come.

It's a ceremony again.

Magistrate Mao looked around, and then he nodded: "everyone is here. Let's have a banquet."

Is everyone here?

No one else coming?

At this time, Xia Ying found that except for her and Gu Tuo, all the people called here today were the left and right hands of magistrate Mao in the government office!

She had thought that since the magistrate Mao had called them, he would have asked several other businessmen with face in the provincial city to accompany her. As a result No,

In addition to those aides and effective subordinates, only the couple!

And there were only two female dependents, she and the prefecture magistrate!

Isn't this a clear indication that the magistrate has treated Gu Tuo as his own?

Poor Gu Tuo denied it for a year or two, but he still didn't get rid of the devil's paw of magistrate Mao.

If you look at Gu Tuo's reaction, he clearly has accepted his fate.

Xia Ying covers her lips and laughs.

I'm used to it, but I'm getting used to it. Prefect Miss looked at Xia Ying around, she also followed a lot of calm.Because there were not many people, they sat down at a table. The prefect's wife also sat down beside Xia Ying.

When the food and wine were ready, magistrate Mao took the lead in raising his glass. "Here, I'd like to propose a toast to all of you. In this year, my government has been running around, and I have no time to take care of the things in the province. I have worked hard for you to manage the affairs of our government! "

"The magistrate flattered me. It's our duty to share our worries for you." A group of people quickly got up to clink glasses with him.

Then, these people in turn toasted the magistrate Mao.

A circle down, all the faces are a bit drunk.

Then someone ventured to ask, "not only the adults, but how did you get this time?"

"Great harvest! The emperor is so happy that he will directly exempt our Jiangbian province from taxes for the coming year Magistrate Mao's happy announcement.

"Really?"

As soon as this was said, the whole table was overjoyed.

Huang shiye, who went to Beijing to offer treasures with the magistrate Mao, immediately nodded. "It's true. What's more, the auspicious Qingshan county will be exempted from taxes in the next three years with the emperor's special permission

This is another big good news!

The prefect's wife could not help patting her chest. "If that is the case, that would be great! Because there was a plague last year, the financial situation of our province was very tight for two years. Adults are too worried to sleep every night, which I see in my eyes. It's just that I'm a woman, and I can't do anything else. Now, seeing that our riverside province can give you a year's breathing, you don't have to worry about it

"Yes Magistrate Mao nodded sadly. "When I heard that the emperor said that the taxes of Jiangbian province would be exempted for one year, I was greatly relieved. Just wait for the next year for our government to operate well and save the taxes for the next year, we will not worry about the glory of our Jiangbian Province in the following year. "

Others at the scene echoed.

Only Gu Tuo has a face. "To exempt a province's tax and a county's tax directly for three years, the emperor's decision is really rash!"

His voice was very low, but Xia Ying heard it.

She gave him a faint look. "Who has already made the decision? What's the point? And we've got practical benefits. You just have to snigger now

Gu tuocai pulled the corner of his mouth up stiffly and laughed like a wooden man.
