C365 Shame

When Liu Zhimo came back and heard about this, he smiled and rubbed her head, telling her not to feel pressured and to rest in peace.

He would remember the kindness of the citizens towards Li Qingling, and would work even harder for the citizens.

Li Qingling acknowledged him, raised his head and looked at him, and asked him where he went.

Liu Zhimo sat beside her and said that he had made a trip to the yamen, so there was a chance in Ying Jie's case.

"Oh? What turning point has there been? "

Liu Zhimo looked at her and lightly tapped her forehead, telling her not to worry about these things, and to be happy every day.

Li Qingling pouted and did not pursue the matter any further, stealthily changing the topic.

Just as the two were happily chatting, Xi Chun walked over and said that the Mrs. Hu was here.

Hearing that, Liu Zhimo stood up, he told Li Qingling to chat with him, and he went to the study room.

Once he left, Xi Chun came in.

Hu Juanjuan apologetically looked at Li Qingling and said, did she disturb her with Liu Zhimo?

Li Qingling shook his head and said, no, he went to the study to take care of matters.

"I heard that the Madam is going to treat the commoners to a meal, so I wanted to come over and take a look. Is there anything I can help you with?"

She knew that County Magistrate did not have many servants, if she had to cook so many dishes, she would be very busy.

"Thank you Mrs. Hu for your kind intentions. With the help of the guards, I can manage." The two chefs were in charge of cooking and the guards were able to handle the rest.

Hearing that, Hu Juanjuan heaved a sigh of relief, it was good that she was busy, she was afraid that if she was busy, it would delay the time for the commoners to eat.

"Madam, according to Miss Nian Xia, Little White gave birth to a child?"

Thinking about how cute she was, the corner of Li Qingling's mouth curled into a smile. He lightly nodded his head and said, "This morning, I gave birth to a very cute little fellow."

Hu Juanjuan looked at Li Qingling in astonishment and asked. Little White gave birth to a child?

How many babies was Little White giving birth to? She thought she had several!

"It's one." Just this one brat alone was enough to torment Little White, it was even more painful than the ones it gave birth to several times before.

"That brat sure knows how to pick a time. It just so happens to be born on the same day as Madam."

Speaking of which, this was actually a birthday present from Little White. Li Qingling smiled with the corners of his mouth raised.

After chatting for a long time and seeing that it was about time, the two of them went to the dining room together.

Li Qingling saw that the courtyard in front of the dining hall was filled with tables and stools. She lightly patted his forehead.

Fortunately, Xi Chun had thought things over carefully and had made up for what she had missed out.

Otherwise, it would be a great shame if he did not have a table and a stool to sit down to eat at the beginning of the meal.

Li Qingling looked at Xi Chun who was busy moving around, and revealed a satisfied smile.

"Madam, Miss Xi Chun is a capable and good girl." After making contact with her, Hu Juanjuan started to like Xi Chun a lot, "Madam, is Miss Xi Chun engaged yet?" She thought of her younger brother. If he could marry Miss Xi Chun, then she would really burn incense.

Turning his head to look at Hu Juanjuan, Li Qingling directly said: "There are a few young lad in my family who are interested in Xi Chun, I wonder what she is thinking?" She knew that Hu Juanjuan wanted to be her matchmaker, and had discussed this issue with Xi Chun before. She said that there was no rush, if she really wanted to get married, she would tell me on her own accord, so I followed her wishes.

When he thought about the guards of County Magistrate and how they could not even compare to his own brother, Hu Juanjuan knew that there was no hope of this happening.

She covered her mouth and laughed. 'I've never seen a master as good as this lady,' she said.

She had never seen a master who thought so highly of servants like Li Qingling. If it was anyone else, not only would they guard against the maids by their side, if they had malicious thoughts, they would even point their maids at a servant who wasn't too kind.

For Xi Chun and Nian Xia, the two maids to meet such a good master was a blessing from their previous life.

It was no wonder why the two maids would be so loyal to Li Qingling and protect her.

Forget about the two maidservants, even she had been tricked by Li Qingling's charisma.

Hearing that, Li Qingling laughed and did not say anything.

After all, she wasn't born and bred here, so she didn't have such a deep division between master and servant. Normally, she treated them as her own employees and treated them as equals.

However, those two girls weren't very open-minded. Other than listening to her words and changing me from a servant to a servant, they refused to change anything else, no matter what she said.

No, I can only let them.

However, under her influence, the few children in the family also treated Xi Chun and the others with great respect, and wouldn't treat them as servants.

She felt gratified at this point.

"Mrs. Hu, how's your alcohol tolerance?"

"It's alright, ma'am. Don't worry, I'll help you block it." The moment Li Qingling opened his mouth, Hu Juanjuan immediately understood what she meant.

Li Qingling thanked Hu Juanjuan gratefully.

Hu Juanjuan said that Li Qingling was being too polite, this was what she should do.

Forget that her husband was an adult's subordinate, just based on her relationship with Li Qingling, she would definitely help Li Qingling block the wine.

When it was Shen, the commoners came one after another. They entered the courtyard and sat on the stools, not daring to look around.

He was both nervous and excited, he never thought that they would one day eat at County Magistrate's home.

It would be a glorious thing to say!

The men and women sat separately, using a screen to separate them. On the male guest's side, Liu Zhimo and Mr. Luo went to receive him, and on the female guest's side, Li Qingling and Hu Juanjuan welcomed them.

"Madam, the Mrs. Cui and Zhao Wang's wives have arrived." Just as Xi Chun finished speaking, Cui Cuicui walked in gracefully.

"Magistrate's Wife, congratulations."

"Same to you …" Li Qingling revealed a fitting smile on his face, and nodded at Cui Cuicui, then looked at the three women beside Cui Cuicui, and asked puzzledly: "These three are?" She really hadn't seen the wives of Zhao Xiang and Wang Lin's family.

A slightly mean looking woman walked over, glanced at Li Qingling, and said haughtily, "This humble woman, Zhu Xiulan, has seen Magistrate's Wife before. I didn't expect him to be this young … "So light." How dare a little girl slap her Wang family's face? He really was getting scared.

"May I know who the husband of this aunt is?"

How dare he look down on her age? Heh … Why would he let her bully him without asking him about Li Qingling's personality?

Aunt?

Zhu Xiulan twisted her face, gritted her teeth and said her husband's surname was Wang, then asked Li Qingling if he knew of the Wang Family.

Li Qingling nodded and said he knew. Who didn't know of the Four Great Wealthy Class Wang Family in the Ninghua County?

After saying that, Zhu Xiulan proudly raised her chin, wishing she could lift it up to the sky.

Li Qingling modestly sat on the chair and lightly said, "Madam Zhu, have you not cleaned your nose before?" I see.

Before he could finish his words, everyone understood.

A "pfft" sound was heard, and someone laughed out loud.

Zhu Xiulan listened to the laughter around her, she was so angry that her face turned green, staring at Li Qingling, "You …"

She was interrupted by Li Qingling before she could finish, "Today is my birthday. If Madam truly wishes for my birthday to be happy, I will definitely welcome you.

Master must have foreseen today's situation and warned her that whoever dared to not give her face and come and create trouble, there was no need to be afraid. She could go back directly and even if the sky was torn apart, he would still think of ways to help her make it up for her.

With this sentence, what was she afraid of? If anyone dared to disrespect her, then she wouldn't care about who's face she was on. She would just directly start.

"Magistrate's Wife sure is impressive."

"No more than Lady Zhu." Li Qingling still had a smile on his face, "May I ask Madam Zhu, are you here to ruin everything? "Hmm?"

"Magistrate's Wife, Madam Zhu is very frank, she did not intend to contradict you." A dignified looking woman stepped forward and said a few words as she quietly pulled on Zhu Xiulan's sleeves, telling her to stop talking so that she would not ruin her husband's plans, "This humble woman is surnamed Miao, my surname is Zhao, and I have seen Magistrate's Wife."

Zhao He's wife?

Li Qingling was confident now, he smiled at her and called his Madam Miao.

At this time, a petite woman walked up to Cui Cuicui from the left, and introduced herself with her head lowered.

Li Qingling just found out that she was Lin Sen's wife, Kong Hua.

If it was her birthday, she wouldn't have been able to see the wives of Zhao Wang's family.

I wonder why they came to see her? She did not believe that they were simply here to celebrate her birthday.

Soldiers came to defend, soldiers came to defend, soldiers came to defend, soldiers came to flood. She really wanted to see what these people wanted to do.

"Many thanks to the madams for taking the time to attend my birthday banquet." Li Qingling nodded at them, then looked at the surrounding women who were standing modestly. She smiled, and invited them to take their seats and eat.

Cui Cuicui raised a wine cup and raised it towards Li Qingling: "Magistrate's Wife, this humble woman offers you a cup, and wishes you a happy new year with your current age."

Li Qingling picked up the teacup, "Thank you Mrs. Cui, but my body isn't feeling well, so I can't drink, I can only use tea in place of wine." After saying that, she took a sip of plain water.

That's right, the cup was filled with boiled water, Liu Zhimo did not let her drink it, he had long since made his change the cup into boiled water.

Seeing that, Zhu Xiu Lan frowned. Magistrate's Wife was too disrespectful to Mrs. Cui, he refused to drink even a cup of wine.

"Mrs. Zhu, you aren't deaf, are you? Didn't Magistrate's Wife say that he was not feeling well? What's wrong with drinking, can you be responsible for it? " Hu Juanjuan raised her head and looked at Zhu Xiulan, smiling as she blocked her way.

Zhu Xiulan snorted coldly at Hu Juanjuan, completely disregarding him. A wife of a county magistrate, what right did she have to speak to her?

Li Qingling held the teacup and turned it gently. He looked up at Zhu Xiulan and slowly said, "A business practitioner."

When Zhu Xiulan heard this, her expression changed. She gritted her teeth and swallowed the words that were coming out of her mouth.

A scholar and a farmer, Li Qingling was referring to her position as the lowest one, what was there to be arrogant about?

Okay, okay, she remembered the shame of today, in the future she will definitely return it all to Li Qingling.
