"You taught me how to use it, and I will use it. You are cheating, and if you don't give me an explanation now, I won't leave."

The woman who was called Mrs. Kong sprayed spittle at her, and Yang Heer turned aside to avoid it.

The four little girls, just as they were getting upset by her, saw Ye Nitang coming in and hurried over to greet her.

Ye Nitang waved his hand to signal them to stop talking, pretending to be a customer coming in to buy something, and looked at the lady.

"This lady..."

She was full of words and stuck in her throat. It was because the woman's skin was too dark.

Judging from his age, he must be in his forties, not tall, with a typical pear-shaped figure.

The shoulders are narrow and the chest is flat, becoming wider and wider towards the hips and buttocks.

Even though she was covered by her long skirt, her plump thighs could be seen.

Her skin color is typical of those who have been working too much in the farm industry, with a tan from the sun and thick chloasma on her face.

This is really difficult for her. Even if it is spiritual spring water, it will take half a month to drink it to keep her white.

Seeing her staring at him, hesitating to speak, Mrs. Kong suddenly said, "I am Mayor Kong's sister-in-law, and I am not afraid of you!"

She said she was not afraid, but her strong tone revealed a guilty conscience.

In fact, in all her life, she has never seen such a beautiful person. Even if she followed her brother-in-law to the capital, she had never seen a noble lady with such appearance.

Ye Nitang's eyes suddenly flashed, it turned out to be Cao, the new mayor's sister-in-law.

At home these days, Ye Qinghong chatted with her about the new mayor.

His name was Kong Jingzhi, a very motivated farm boy. After successfully passing the Jinshi examination, he was assigned by the court to be the mayor of Liuhe Town.

But the most noteworthy thing is his family. It is said that his family was poor and his parents died young.

It was all thanks to his brother Kong Youfu, who was eight years older than him, to farm the land for him to study.

Kong Jingzhi knew how to be grateful and was very motivated. He was admitted as a boy student at the age of thirteen and a scholar at the age of fifteen. He received subsidies from the court and his life became easier.

His eldest sister-in-law, Cao, was a girl from the same village. She was fierce-tempered and quick at work. After his parents died, she took the initiative to marry his eldest brother because she saw how pitiful his brothers were.

After Cao and Kong Youfu got married, they did not dislike their brother-in-law. Instead, they worked together with her husband to farm and continued to support their brother-in-law's education.

When Kong Jingzhi passed the imperial examination and was assigned to Liuhe Town by the imperial court, he asked his brother and sister-in-law to leave their hometown fields and come here with him.

Today, his eldest brother Kong Youfu works as a steward in the town government, and his sister-in-law is responsible for washing, cooking, and taking care of the two brothers and her two children.

Money in Dayu is not very valuable, so the salary of an official in Dayu is not low. The mayor of Liuhe Town is equivalent to the magistrate of a small county.

A monthly salary of twenty taels of silver notes, in addition to subsidies such as grain, cloth, wine, tea, firewood, horse supplies, and thirty acres of farmland, without having to pay taxes.

The wages of the yamen servants and cooks in the yamen were also paid by the court.

Their family has completely gotten rid of their muddy legs and has become a family that eats royal food.

This is also the reason why every man has wanted to be an official since ancient times. The rewards are so delicious!

Withdrawing his distant thoughts, Ye Nitang smiled brightly.

"Hello, Mrs. Kong. I am the owner of this shop. It is a blessing for my small shop that you can come. I am planning to go to the town government office to visit Mr. Kong. If you don't mind, I will go to the town government office with you now. how?"

As she spoke, she picked up some floral dew and health pills on the shelves, picked up a few porcelain bottles, and put them into the basket for customers, and also took a few bars of soap.

After hearing this, Mr. Cao was surprised and slightly frightened.

Although she had only been here for a few days, she heard that Ye Nitang had superb medical skills and saved the son of the county magistrate and the former mayor of the town, General Jiang. She also said that she and Miss Shen were sisters.

Her brother-in-law said that Ye Nitang had done a great job by helping His Royal Highness to control the insect plague and cholera.

The emperor will reward you generously.

She straightened her back and pretended to be calm, "My brother-in-law happens to be in the office. If you want to go, just come with me."

"Okay, please come first, madam." Ye Nitang held the basket and made a gesture of invitation.

Seeing her respecting her so much, Mr. Cao was very proud to be walking in front.

I thought: No matter how powerful Ye Nitang's backer is, he is still a businessman.

After going out, Ye Nitang went to the carriage and took out three pieces of brightly colored silk, the kind with half rayon added inside.

Among a lot of crystal jewelry, I took out a pair of citrine bracelets, a pearl necklace, and several crystal ornaments suitable for children.

A pair of fine tung smoke ink, a box of Hu brushes, and a Duan inkstone with lotus engraved on it.

These are all worthless things in the last days.

She picked it up by chance when she was collecting supplies.

I took a few more pastries, cookies and candies and put them in the basket.

After getting her things, she waved to the porters waiting for business on the roadside.

The porter immediately ran over and took two baskets and one basket from her hands.

Ye Nitang even held one in his hand.

She gave him five cents, and the three of them walked to the town government office.

Along the way, Ms. Cao was staring at those things. She was not sure whether these gifts from Ye Nitang were for her brother-in-law, and she didn't say any kind words.

It wasn't until the three of them reached the gate of the town office that she slowly opened her mouth and looked at those things, showing her big yellow teeth, "Why did you bring so many things?"

Ye Nitang smiled slightly and replied: "It's your first visit, why should you be empty-handed?"

"Oh, thank you. You are the most generous owner in Liuhe Town. I will ask my brother-in-law to take more care of you!"

"Thank you ma'am."

The yamen guarding the gate of the town yamen were still the same ones. When they saw Ye Nitang, they all ran over to say hello.

One of them even ran in to call the new mayor.

Ms. Cao's happy face fell again.

Isn't she just the meanest businessman? Why flatter her?

The things in the hands of Ye Nitang and the porter had been taken over by the government servants, and they surrounded her into the courtyard where Kong Jingzhi worked.

By chance, Kong Jingzhi also came out to welcome him and saw Ye Nitang.

He was slightly absent-minded. No wonder Mr. Li repeatedly told him to protect her.

It's really unusual.

Ye Nitang was also looking at him. He looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, with delicate and elegant facial features, and a trace of greenness on his fair and tender face.

The look in his eyes was serious and polite, so he seemed to be of good character.

She bowed and saluted, "Master Kong, Ye Nitang, please be polite."

"Miss Ye, you are polite, please come to your room."

Kong Jingzhi raised his hand and invited Ye Nitang in. Mrs. Cao, who followed behind, felt uncomfortable. Why was she so polite to her.

However, she was afraid of her brother-in-law, so after Ye Nitang sat down, she brought tea in.

Seeing that the tea was not very good, Ye Nitang took it politely and started chatting with Kong Jingzhi instead of drinking it.

"Master Kong, I wonder if this year's summer grain requirements are available?"

There were so many people in their family, so she had to make preparations in advance.

Standing at the door, staring at Ye Nitang's gifts, Mr. Cao suddenly said,

"Hey, don't you know Master Pei? Why are you asking him, my brother-in-law?"

Her brother-in-law said that the secrets of the court should not be revealed, otherwise he would not be able to succeed in his official duties, and their family would be fined to go to the Northern Wasteland to build a city wall.

The two people who were interrupted looked at the door at the same time. Ms. Cao shrank her neck in fear and ran away.
