Farmer’s Blessed Girl

In the eyes of the old Zhoutou, Zhou Yin was in the family, and Man Bao's surname Xia seemed to be a matter of heaven. If she was surnamed Xia, then the Xia family's properties would naturally belong to Man Bao, and he would not give it away.

But Man Bao has always followed his surname, and he didn't want Man Bao to change his surname, so he felt ashamed. On the one hand, he felt that these family properties were left to Man Bao by his sister-in-law, and on the other hand, he felt that it was a bit unfair to compete with the Xia clan for property. So it's still confusing.

Man Bao is not as entangled as her father. These things were left to her mother by her grandparents, and her mother left her to her. It doesn't matter what her surname is, she is their daughter, right?

Whether she can take it or not, she has to see what happened after her biological parents left Shangzhou.

The three walked across the street and arrived at the gate of the county office more than a quarter of an hour later.

The three dismounted, handed over the horse to Daji, and walked to the gate of the county government to wait. Because he was standing in the shadows, Bai Shan took the hat.

Man Bao was impatient to wear it again, and took it together before taking it down. A middle-aged man in an official uniform hurried out of the county office.

Seeing that Zhou Man had just taken off the veil, he hesitated for a while, but he still stepped forward and saluted, "This is Lord Zhou?"

Man Bao immediately smiled back and said, "I compiled Zhou Man in Xia Chongwen Museum, and I have something to do in Shangzhou, so I dared to disturb the magistrate of Zhai. Please forgive me for the disturbance."

"Where, where, my lord came to my Shangzhou, I am fortunate to be in Shangzhou." Seeing Zhou Man's politeness, the magistrate of Zhai put down half of his heart, and asked sideways: "Master Zhou, please speak inside."

Zhou Man nodded slightly, glanced sideways at Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, and then entered with Magistrate Zhai.

The master who accompanied the magistrate of Zhai quickly glanced at Bai Shan and Bai Erlang. Seeing that the two were well-dressed and their accessories were gorgeous, they could guess their identities by comparing their ages.

Compared to Zhou Man, he felt that it was more important for adults to make friends with these two.

When they arrived at the back hall of the county government office, the magistrate of Zhai invited a few people to sit down, and then Man Bao introduced: "These are my two junior brothers."

The magistrate Zhai obviously knew them too. After all, he and his master thought carefully about the first step to get the door post.

If this is changed to another Beijing official, let alone the fifth rank, he may not be able to recognize the fourth rank.

However, there was only one female official in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and because of Zhou Man, the prince gave birth to a son, and the prince's line directly stood firm. No one in the country's officials now knew that Zhou Man was a genius doctor and a celebrity in front of the prince.

Moreover, Shangzhou is not very far from the capital.

Naturally, Zhou Man's two junior brothers were also very famous. Knowing that these two were students of Chongwen Museum, they were studying with the prince, and their future was far ahead of Zhou Man, so the magistrate of Zhai was also very polite to them.

The two sides saluted and sat down, and then Man Bao said, "The magistrate of Zhai should have heard about Zaixia and the King of Yizhou."

Magistrate Zhai smiled awkwardly. He didn't know why she mentioned this. Of course he knew it. This was the beginning of Zhou Man's fame.

Man Bao continued: "I didn't know my biological parents when I was young, and I... my uncle and aunt didn't know much about what happened to my father after he left home. clan."

The county magistrate was surprised to hear that, "Your mother's family is from Shangzhou?"

Man Bao nodded.

The magistrate of Zhai and the master were overjoyed when they heard the words, and asked, "Does your lord know what kind of relatives there are in the family?"

Man Bao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I only know that my grandparents have long since passed away, but I don't know what kind of relatives there are in the family. Back then, the second day my father returned home..."

The magistrate of Zhai showed a regretful expression.

"Because of the short time, my parents didn't mention much about the family affairs, so I came to look for it, hoping to find my relatives and know where my grandparents' cemetery is, so I can worship." Man Bao said: "I also ask the magistrate of Zhai for help. ."

When the magistrate of Zhai heard that it was such a trivial matter as visiting relatives, he immediately replied with a smile, "The household registration from more than ten years ago should still be found in the county government, and it would be better if you could know where you lived. "

Man Bao immediately said: "This is true."

Man Bao took out a house deed and said with a smile, "This is where my grandparents used to live. As far as I know, my parents still lived here before returning to their hometown."

When magistrate Zhai saw the house deed, his brows twitched, and he vaguely felt that something was not right, but after thinking about it, he took it with a smile. , over at Songhua Lane, someone, go and invite Xu Lichang to come."

Man Bao picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, looked at Bai Shan calmly, and raised his mouth slightly.

When Xu Lichang followed the yamen into the door, the three Bai Shan and the magistrate Zhai were discussing the recent article published by Lord Wei in the Dibao.

Of course, it was mainly Bai Shan who was talking. Occasionally, Man Bao interjected a few words. Bai Erlang felt that he couldn't speak at this time, otherwise the level of his brothers and sisters would be too low, so he would eat snacks and drink tea quietly.

In just three quarters of an hour, Magistrate Zhai's attitude towards the two had changed from being distant and polite to admiration and respect, and Wei Wei was still somewhat close.

He looked at the three of them, mainly Bai Shan and Zhou Man, and secretly said: Sure enough, it makes sense for people to be in the early stage. He has such insight at a young age, and the capital is indeed a crouching tiger, hidden dragon.

While talking happily, when he turned his head to see Xu Lichang coming in, Magistrate Zhai stopped regretfully, and then introduced to Zhou Man and the others: "This is Xu Lichang, and he happens to be in charge of that place."

Xu Lichang looked at Zhou Man in disbelief. He was still at home waiting for Xia Yi's family to come, but he was called by the yamen to the county government. Seeing that the magistrate Zhai was very polite to Zhou Man and the others, he was not sure of their identities for a while.

Man Bao had already nodded with a smile, and instead of standing up to salute, he raised his hand and said, "Xu Li-chang, please sit down, we meet again."

Magistrate Zhai looked at Zhou Man, and then at Xu Lichang, who was sweating on his forehead, and asked with a smile, "Why, Master Zhou has seen Xu Lichang?"

Man Bao nodded with a smile, "I have seen it, but we are foreigners, and the chief has a lot of things to say to us. This official can understand it. After all, it is about the privacy of the people, so the chief should be careful."

The magistrate of Zhai smiled and said: "That's true, but Xu Lichang doesn't have to worry, this Lord Zhou is also an official of the court, and he will never use the privacy of the people to do illegal things."

Man Bao nodded with a smile, then looked at Xu Lichang with a smile, and seeing that he was still standing, he quickly said, "Lichang, please sit down, let's sit down and talk slowly."

Xu Li sat on the chair with half of his buttocks, and asked after twitching the corners of his mouth, "I didn't know that the little lady is an adult. Please forgive me for the rudeness."

But a woman is an official... Could it be a female official in the palace?

But so small...

The magistrate Zhai had already guessed that the two sides had already made the right move. Zhou Man must have failed to ask Xu Lichang what he had asked, so he came to him.

Thinking of this, the smile on Zhai County Magistrate's face was reduced, and he said to Xu Li a little seriously: "I asked Xu Li to ask someone."

He glanced at Zhou Man and said, "Is Xu Lichang familiar with Xia Yan?"
