The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 175 Look down on her

It was already the afternoon of the next day when County Magistrate Qiao arrived at Yunbian Village.

Most of the villagers had never seen the county magistrate before. When they heard that the county magistrate was coming, they hurriedly dropped the work at hand and ran to the headman's house to watch the fun.

The county magistrate was looking at a thresher at the village head's house.

The common people lay on the wall of the headman's house and looked at the county magistrate.

Everyone's eyes were filled with curiosity and anticipation, and they stretched their necks, wanting to catch a glimpse of the county magistrate.

In the yard, County Magistrate Qiao had a serious expression and the dignity that was unique to an official.

He carefully observed the structure of the thresher and even stepped on it himself to feel its speed.

"It's a good thing, it's really a good thing!"

Qiao Zhengshan praised.

"Who invented this thresher? Where is the schematic?"

he asks.

The village head was not in a hurry to answer, but asked: "Sir, do you think our thresher can be promoted in Yuntong County?"

County Magistrate Qiao had this in mind, and nodded, "Not only in Yuntong County, I will report to the prefecture and let the prefect take a look at our thresher."

"Oh, that's great!"

The head of the village shouted outside the courtyard wall: "Did everyone hear that? The county magistrate said he would report the thresher to the prefectural government!

By then, our village will be famous in Tianchang Prefecture!"

Ordinary people live an honest life and no one dares to think so far. After hearing what the head of the village said, everyone applauded.

County Magistrate Qiao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about your fame. First tell me, who came up with this thresher? Where is the blueprint?"

The head of the village then said slowly: "The county magistrate actually knows this man, he is Ye Xinran's younger brother.

I don’t know who he is, but he looks quite important.

The county magistrate must know this!"

When County Magistrate Qiao heard this, the smile on his face immediately disappeared.

He had just heard that Ye Xinran was recognized.

Given the Marquis’s previous attitude towards Ye Xinran, he never imagined that Ye Xinran was actually the Marquis’s daughter.

But the news was released by the Leng family.

This led Qiao Zhengshan to speculate: the child is now recognized by the lady, but the marquis does not want to acknowledge him.

He couldn't figure out why exactly.

But the dilemma in my heart is real.

Being nice to Ye Xinran might offend the Marquis.

If you are not nice to Ye Xinran, you might offend Mrs. Lu.

Ye Xinran was originally an inconspicuous little girl. How did she become such an important person now?

Qiao Zhengshan had a headache.

"Mr. County Magistrate! Mr. County Magistrate?"

Seeing that the county magistrate remained silent, the village head had to speak up to remind him.

"Oh, tell me!"

Qiao Zhengshan finally came to his senses.

The head of the village said, "I remember hearing you mention before that the prefect was very concerned about the people's harvest and had visited various counties in disguise.

I think if the county magistrate presents something like this, the prefect will definitely look favorably upon you!"

Qiao Zhengshan was enlightened by these words.

Yes, no matter who invented the thresher, as long as it is reported, he can get credit for it.

Let’s talk about the Marquis’ Mansion.

Before, he placed his hopes on the Marquis, but the Marquis always said lightly: You don’t have any real achievements, it will be a bit troublesome to get promoted, you have to wait for an opportunity.

Now that this opportunity has not come no matter how long he waits, Qiao Zhengshan knows that there is no hope for the Marquis.

He can only find his own way out.

Now that such a great opportunity was before him, how could he not seize it?

"You are right," the magistrate nodded.

"That's why I just said I needed the blueprints. I want to make another thresher and send it to the prefect. I hope this machine can help the people solve their problems."

The head of the village smiled like an old fox, "Okay, I'll take the county magistrate to the Xiao family right away."

Looking at his expression, Qiao Zhengshan suddenly thought of something: "Zhang Yasuo, you brought me here just for this matter?"

"Yes!"

The village head answered as a matter of course.

Qiao Zhengshan: "As long as you take the thresher to the county government, I will definitely report it to the prefect. Why do you have to do this?"

The head of the village waved his hand and said with a smile, "Sir, how can it be the same?"

He pointed at the villagers outside the door and said: "I took the thresher to the county government office. No one can tell what we discussed and decided in the middle.

But now everyone has seen that the county magistrate has worked tirelessly for the people's livelihood and has even come to our village.

When this matter gets out in the future, everyone will be able to sing praises for the county magistrate!"

Qiao Zhengshan frowned: "I think you are afraid that I will take credit for it and not give all the credit to you, right?

This matter has been spread out today. Everyone knows that the thresher was produced by your village. If you are not included in the future rewards, I am afraid my reputation will be ruined!"

"How can it be!"

The village head quickly bowed to the county magistrate, then bent over and made a gesture of invitation: "Sir, I don't have so many thoughts!

Let's go to the Xiao family now?"

The county magistrate no longer bothered with him and walked outside.

When the villagers saw the county magistrate coming out of the yard, they all knelt down on the ground.

"grown ups!"

"It is a blessing for the people that the adults care about them!"

"Get up, get up quickly, there's no need to perform such a formal ceremony when you see me!"

County Magistrate Qiao asked everyone to stand up.

In the crowd, 67-year-old Mrs. Zhang stood up and walked to the county magistrate in a few small steps. She looked at Qiao Zhengshan with her cloudy eyes, her hands shaking. "My life has not been lived in vain. I actually saw the living county magistrate!"

The villagers thought that Old Lady Zhang was not good at speaking and were afraid that she would anger the county magistrate, so they explained for her: "County magistrate, she is happy. We never dreamed that we could be so close to you."

"Don't be too reserved. I'm the magistrate of this county, and it's my duty to care about everyone's life."

Qiao Zhengshan had a warm face.

Just like Zhang Yasuo said just now, he has done everything he can in this matter, and leaving a good reputation is more important than anything else.

The two went to Xiao Huaian's home.

County Magistrate Qiao was also surprised when he saw the spacious courtyard of the Xiao family.

The Xiao family's house is considered the best in the village.

There is a tall gate, a courtyard paved with stone slabs, and even the materials used to build the house are blue bricks instead of mud bricks.

"The Xiao family's conditions are quite good?"

The county magistrate said casually.

The village head immediately explained, "This house was also just built. Madam Ye knows a little bit about medicine, so she built this house with the money she earned from selling medicine."

Qiao Zhengshan knew that Ye Xinran had sold Snow Cream before.

Just by looking at the yard, he truly felt Ye Xinran's abilities.

It seems that I really underestimated her!
