Allure of a Country Maiden

After having dinner with Mrs. Li and the others, Xiaoer returned to the inn and took out her pen and ink to write two letters in a row, and released two carrier pigeons respectively.

Then she entered the space. During the day, she only came back with the space ring in her mouth the night before leaving for Fucheng. She didn't even know what kind of animal it had brought back after it had been missing for so long.

Xiaoer entered the space and found that there was an extra forest on the other side of the space ranch.

Okay, now her space is complete.

Xiaoer finally saw what she had been longing for, tigers, white tigers, leopards, roe deer, goats, various deer, various foxes, wild horses... and even pandas. In short, there were many kinds.

When these cubs gave birth to cubs, she thought she could consider opening a zoo to educate the children of this dynasty about the animal world.

"Don't you mean to find some sick ones or those who are about to die? I see that they are all alive and kicking, very lively and cute!"

"Lively and cute, aren't you? I even fed them a worry-free fruit!" Bai Tian raised the goose's head, waiting for praise.

After hearing this, Xiaoer felt bad. She raised her head and glanced at the Worry-free Tree. Sure enough! Fully half of the worry-free fruit is missing!

Oh my God! She had owned this worry-free fruit tree for more than a year, and she had never seen it bear fruit once. She didn't know when it would bear fruit, but half of it had gone all of a sudden, which made her heartbroken!

This worry-free fruit is one less than one you eat! This was used to save lives, Xiaoer felt like he was shooting himself in the foot.

"During the day, you can never pick and eat this worry-free fruit without my consent. Do you understand?" Xiaoer touched the head of the goose in the day and let it go this time. It was hard enough during the day, anyway. Animal life is also life.

I didn't notice it when I picked it during the day, and now I feel that there are too few Asuka fruits on the Ashoka tree. This worry-free fruit takes outside time to bear fruit only once every ten years.

"Master, I understand." Bai Tian lowered his head.

"Okay, there are still a lot anyway, let's just use some sparingly." Xiao'er comforted Bai Tian.

"Master, don't you blame me?"

"No wonder!" Xiaoer shook her head.

After hearing this, I happily went to play during the day.

After accepting the reality, Xiaoer began to do routine homework in the space.

The next day, Xiaoer put on a light make-up for Mrs. Liu, and the family got on the carriage and headed to the magistrate's mansion.

This time the prefect’s wife invited many people to come and enjoy the plum blossoms, including many wives and young ladies from wealthy businessmen in the city.

As soon as Xiaoer and the others were led in and sat down, Mrs. Li came with Li Ruoqing.

When Xiaoer's family moved to their new home, Li Ruoqing also went there, so when she saw Xiaoer and Liu Jingshu, she ran over enthusiastically.

Mrs. Li was also surprised when she saw the family members of the Shengpinghou family, who had been in the limelight recently, for the first time.

Even the magistrate's wife couldn't compare to her all-over majesty.

It seems that the news coming from the imperial capital is true.

At that time, she didn't believe it when she heard that the Lord of Rui'an County was very talented and beautiful.

Looking at his age, I wonder if he is ten years old. This appearance, this temperament and etiquette are all impeccable. It's a pity that she is a bit young. She wants to have grandchildren soon, otherwise she and Wei'er will be very suitable.

Mrs. Li thought about her daughter-in-law, and even the little girl started to consider it.

After all the invited people had arrived, the prefect's wife took all the ladies to the yard to enjoy the plum blossoms.

"I originally bought this house because I liked this plum forest. Whenever the plum blossoms bloom, the fragrance of the flowers is so fragrant that it makes people feel that it is just for this plum tree. No matter how cold the winter is, it is worth it." The prefect's wife walked. explain.

"No, these plum blossoms bloom more and more beautifully the colder they are. I love to see beautiful things but I am not afraid of the cold. Madam, you should invite me to enjoy them every year."

"This plum blossom is the most proud of snow. If it's not cold, it won't be energetic! I just look at it for its spirit! If it's cold, just put on a cloak and hold a hand stove."

"No, it's just because I've been well-dressed and well-fed every day since I was a child. I don't have to worry about food and clothing to be able to feel like this. I enjoy the snowy plum blossoms in the cold winter. I feel that the severe cold in winter is nothing. But for those poor people, let alone quilts in their homes. I don’t even have a cotton-padded jacket, and I don’t even dare to go out in this winter.”

After hearing this, all the ladies felt their hearts skip a beat, and they all had a bad premonition.

Seeing that no one said anything, the magistrate's wife walked away in no hurry and slowly expressed her true intention.

"I thought that I buy a lot of clothes every year. I probably won't wear the clothes from last year this year. I just keep them there anyway. I can donate them to some people so that they can have a warm and fulfilling New Year. It’s a good deed, isn’t it?”

"The prefect's wife is really kind-hearted." Some ladies nodded in praise.

Next year will be another year for officials from various places to evaluate their political performance.

It turns out that this is a Hongmen Banquet. The prefect wants everyone to contribute some money so that he can have a good official reputation!

"As a parent official, my lord has always regarded the people as his own children. I have also been influenced by my ears and eyes, and my whole heart is attached to the people. I just expressed my feelings at the moment, which made everyone laugh." The prefect's wife walked to a large pavilion and greeted everyone. sit down.

"Why, Madam is kind-hearted, we should learn from Madam." Mrs. Zong agreed one after another.

"Yes, I also have a lot of old clothes at home. I will sort them out immediately when I get back."

"Yes, I have one at home too."

"I'm happy to be able to do something for the people."

"The prefect's wife is very thoughtful. I have been thinking about how to do something for the people, but I just didn't think of a way. This is a great way."

…

"I've always been a generous person. After sorting out my old clothes, I felt that I couldn't get rid of them, so I added more or less things. Come on, please give me some advice and see if I can add anything more. ." The prefect's wife took a list from the maid and handed it to Mrs. Li. After reading it, Mrs. Li passed it to the next lady...

After most of the ladies here read it, they felt like a flock of crows were in front of them: Yeah, yeah!

"What do you think? Is there anything else that needs to be added?"

"No, it's not necessary. Madam is so thoughtful." The wife of a wealthy businessman was cursing in her mind.

"Our people have to be grateful to have such a good official as the prefect as a parent official." Many ladies smiled with sad faces.

…

Damn, ten thousand cotton-padded clothes, two thousand quilts, ten thousand kilograms of grain, one thousand taels of silver. Is this still a donation of old clothes?

I heard that for disaster relief in Qinghe County, many officials donated nothing more than this.

I haven’t heard of any disaster anywhere in the entire state capital!

Besides, the drought has passed. Isn’t it too late to donate now?

Having said that, the prefect also got the idea because of the earthquake relief incident in Qinghe County. It is not easy for a local official to come up with political achievements! Everything requires money, right?

This time, he also plans to follow suit in raising funds, and then first improve the living standards of some people under his jurisdiction. This can be considered a big thing for the people.
