After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

When Yan Qingqing saw this, she said to Yuan Huiniang and the others: "Okay, let's go. There will be no results today."

Yuan Huiniang nodded obediently and followed Yan Qingqing.

Ada was afraid that Yan Qingqing and the others would be tired after walking for too long, so he had already gone to the shop to catch the carriage in advance.

After leaving the Yamen, Yuan Huiniang asked: "Mother, in your opinion, which of the two women is the child's biological mother?"

Yan Qingqing replied calmly: "Magistrate Gao's judgment should be correct, those two people are probably not the biological mothers of the child.

We are all mothers, so let’s talk from our hearts. If you really feel so distressed about your child, how can you watch your child struggling there and remain indifferent. "

Yuan Huiniang nodded and replied: "What mother said is true, and I feel the same way.

I just feel sorry for that child and don’t know who his biological mother is. "

Yan Qingqing smiled and said: "This is not something we should worry about.

There are so many poor people in the world. Nor do we need to be generous to others.

At least the child still had enough food and clothing. No matter what the purpose was, the two women were still fighting to raise him. "

Yuan Huiniang felt that Yan Qingqing's words made sense. She recalled that when their family was living in poverty, they could not even eat, and Xiao Jinxiu was skinny and skinny.

Yan Qingqing and the others had not taken a few steps before Ah Da drove the carriage over.

Yan Qingqing went shopping and saw the excitement, so she took Yuan Huiniang and the others back home.

After returning home, I divided the things I bought from the county with everyone.

Ruyi and Ruxue each received an exquisite silver hairpin.

There are also two little girls who were promoted later, one named Xiaoman and the other Xiaoqi, who were all carefully selected by Ruyi.

Even though Ruyi was very outspoken in front of Yan Qingqing, she was very strict and orderly in front of others. For fear of losing the face of their wife.

She is also very strict with the little maid below, even Ruxue is a little afraid of her.

The two girls she chose are also very good at doing things and are usually very diligent in doing things.

Yan Qingqing also brought them gifts, a pair of exquisite silver earrings for each of them.

After receiving the gift, the two came happily to express their gratitude.

They never thought that the madam would bring them gifts. Did the madam see them working hard and recognize them from the bottom of her heart?

When they thought of this possibility, the two of them felt happy.

Yan Qingqing looked at the two people who were kneeling on the ground to thank you and said with a smile: "You two, get up. You have been following me for a while, and I see how hard you usually work.

To me, you are the same as Ruyi Ruxue.

Both of them know that I don't like this kind of kneeling ceremony, so I don't have to do it in the future. "

After hearing this, the two people quickly thanked each other.

A few days later, while Yan Qingqing was handling the affairs of the workshop, the concierge came to report that the new county magistrate wanted to see him.

When Yan Qingqing heard this, he did not put down what he was doing, but replied: "I understand, please go to the flower hall to entertain me."

It's not that Yan Qingqing is arrogant or trying to put on airs.

But there were only two reasons why Magistrate Gao took so long to visit her. First, although she was from Ming Zhaoshuo, whom the emperor had conferred, Magistrate Gao looked down on her as a widow and wanted to give her a blow. .

Secondly, since he had just arrived, he was really busy with things and sometimes he couldn't take care of them.

But no matter what the reason is, it's not disrespectful to reciprocate. Yan Qingqing always had to retaliate to him.

Magistrate Gao sat in the flower hall, drinking tea one cup after another, but he never saw Ming Zhaoshuo's face.

She knew in her heart that Ming Zhaoshuo probably thought he didn't understand etiquette and didn't come to see her immediately after taking office.

But it's not that he doesn't know etiquette, it's that he has his own difficulties, and I don't know if Ming Zhaoshuo can understand them.

Thinking of this, County Magistrate Gao felt a little uneasy, but on the surface he was still very calm.

In fact, he has already thought about it in his heart. If Yan Qingqing is really vindictive and difficult to get along with, the worst they can do is keep the water in the well and the river in the river.

After all, he is the county magistrate, and Yan Qingqing can't do anything to him.

However, Magistrate Gao's thoughts did not last long. Yan Qingqing came over half an hour later.

County Magistrate Gao saw Yan Qingqing's obvious surprise, and then he quickly lowered his head and bowed in salute: "Your Majesty, Gao Zhiyan, has met Ming Zhaoshuo."

Magistrate Gao thought to himself that this was not the lady who was in the crowd that day when he publicly heard the case of kidnapping.

At that time, he even glanced at Yan Qingqing, but of course it wasn't because he was lustful. But Yan Qingqing doesn't look like an ordinary person in appearance or demeanor.

Unexpectedly, it was the famous Ming Zhaoshuo.

Yan Qingqing walked to the top and sat down, then said with a smile: "Master Gao, there is no need to be polite. I didn't know that Master Gao was coming today. There were some urgent matters at home that needed to be dealt with, so I came a little late. I hope Gao Gao Forgive me, sir."

Hearing this, Gao Zhiyan hurriedly replied: "I don't dare. It's already disrespectful for me to come to see Ming Zhaoshuo for so long after I took office."

Please also ask Ming Zhaoshuo people not to blame the lower officials. "

Yan Qingqing laughed when he heard this and said: "What did Mr. Gao say? You have just taken office and there are many matters to be dealt with in the county government. I am not one of those ignorant people."

Yan Qingqing has thought about it. When dealing with unfamiliar people in the officialdom, you have to show off when it's time to show off.

Otherwise, others would really think that they are easy to handle.

After hearing this, County Magistrate Gao quickly agreed.

Yan Qingqing looked at Magistrate Gao's nervous look and said, "Why are you still standing, Master Gao? Please sit down."

Magistrate Gao sat down after hearing this.

After the two chatted for a while, Magistrate Gao told Yan Qingqing all his details in order to surrender.

He is from Xishan Prefecture and comes from a farming and studying family.

His family also had high hopes for him since he was a child.

Han Chuang studied hard for more than ten years, and finally only passed the imperial examination.

Because there was no one in the court, he was just sent to a remote place to work as a small bookkeeper.

However, he has been studying with great concentration over the years. Whether it is about people's livelihood or criminal cases, he has always summed up his experience.

He stayed in the position of chief bookkeeper for more than ten years.

Later, it was during the performance evaluation of officials that the emperor noticed him.

Because every time the county magistrate in that place was transferred, there would be a discount to let him temporarily take the position of county magistrate. The emperor would naturally remember Gao Zhiyan's name as it appeared many times.

So an investigation was immediately ordered to investigate him.

I learned that he was indeed a good official who served the people, and Ling Ziyuan happened to be transferred, so there was such a vacancy.

After hearing this, Yan Qingqing admired Gao Zhiyan, even though he had some elements of beautifying himself and selling himself off.

But Yan Qingqing has to admit that he is very inspirational. And Yan Qingqing is not a mean person, so for now at least they can get along peacefully.
