Enter the Room

This is not unfounded by Song Jiyun.

This has happened to her before.

She pretended not to understand and said with a smile: "Could it be that Mrs. Huang knows a businessman who is in the porcelain business?

Magistrate Jiang was noncommittal and said with a smile, "You'll know it when you see it!"

Although Song Jiyun doesn't want to cause trouble, he won't be afraid of trouble if it does happen.

She said simply: "Then Magistrate Laojiang will recommend him. Then Mr. Yuan and I will go to meet Mr. Huang's family."

The implication is that she will not have private contact with people from the Huang family.

Magistrate Jiang nodded, as if a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

Song Jiyun thought she was dazzled, but when she opened her eyes to see clearly, County Magistrate Jiang had already touched his chin and said hesitantly: "With Mr. Yuan!"

He looked reluctant.

Song Jiyun's heart tightened.

A few clattering sounds of porcelain were heard very suddenly in the living room next door.

Someone!

Song Jiyun was slightly shocked. Thinking of the tea cup that she had not had time to put away when she came in, she acted as if she had not heard anything and continued to smile with County Magistrate Jiang without changing her expression: "Master Yuan is a scholar, and Master Huang is also a scholar. I believe that Master Huang is not bad at learning either." . It’s better to let them talk to scholars. People like me who only know a few words can just listen by the side.”

"Really?" Magistrate Jiang said with a rather meaningful smile, but he did not provoke her, nor did he mention Yuan Yunzhong again.

The two of them smiled and exchanged a few more words before Magistrate Jiang served tea to see the guests off.

Song Jiyun hurriedly stood up and said goodbye.

But what she didn't know was that as soon as she left the courtyard of Magistrate Jiang's study, Yuan Yunzhong walked out of the living room in three steps and two steps at a time, and went straight to Magistrate Jiang with a stern face.

Upon seeing this, County Magistrate Jiang immediately stood up and hid behind the Grand Master's chair, saying, "Yuan Xiaosi, if you dare to touch me again, I, I will tell Mr. Jingtang..."

Yuan Yunzhong raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and reached out to grab his collar unmoved.

"You are serious!" County Magistrate Jiang shouted, hiding from Yuan Yunzhong around a row of imperial chairs, and said, "Don't act recklessly just because you are the youngest! I just let you do it!" If you dare to do this again, I will fight back!"

Perhaps it was too silly to chase around the Taishi's chair like this. Yuan Yunzhong's face turned a little green. He stopped and said, "What are you asking me for?"

Magistrate Jiang started to pant after running two steps, and said, "Don't you think that Old Huang is too snobbish? I'm afraid that you will feel uncomfortable when you see him!"

It's okay if he didn't mention it, but when he did, Yuan Yunzhong's face turned even darker.

County Magistrate Jiang sighed when he saw it, and said: "Don't tell me, Miss Song is really smart, she can tell the truth. What's even more rare is that although she is very articulate and does not let people off at all, what she says is But it doesn't make people feel annoying. It's really rare. I've seen too many beauties unable to speak, and their secrets are revealed as soon as they open their mouths..."

"Nonsense!" Yuan Yunzhong interrupted him dissatisfied, "Who will help the mud that can't reach the wall!"

"Really?" County Magistrate Jiang drawled his voice, squinting at him, "So this is what Miss Song looks like to you!"

Without saying a word, Yuan Yunzhong turned around, pulled out the sword on the wall, and pointed it directly at Magistrate Jiang.

"Don't, don't, don't!" County Magistrate Jiang stepped back and said, "I'm going on a blind date later, so don't ruin my good deeds."

Yuan Yunzhong looked at Magistrate Jiang.

Magistrate Jiang took the opportunity to slip away from Yuan Yunzhong like a loach.

"I guess Lao Huang heard something from someone recently and insisted on being a matchmaker for me." He said while adjusting his clothes, "They said that the youngest daughter of the Chief Minister of Jiangxi Province is as beautiful as a fairy, well-educated and sensible, and she is about the same age as me. If we can get along well with Qin and Jin, it will be a good story."

"That's your business!" Yuan Yunzhong said coldly.

"How can you say it's my fault?" Magistrate Jiang shouted, "If the family is uneasy, there will be endless troubles. Aren't I afraid that my mentor will be implicated?"

"Isn't it just what you want?" Yuan Yunzhong sneered, "Isn't your ambition since childhood to marry a noble girl?"

"Then I'm not young and ignorant?" Magistrate Jiang shouted, "I thought all princesses were beautiful and fragrant, and all noble girls were as good as fish. Who knew there were princesses and noble girls who were worse than village girls..."

Parking is not allowed in front of the county government office. People who come to the county government office for business have their cars or sedans parked in an alley next to the county government office. The alley is full of porters squatting and waiting for someone.

When the young boy of the Song family saw Song Jiyun and Zheng Quan coming out of the Yamen, he hurriedly called for his coachman.

Song Jiyun and Zheng Quan stood under the camphor tree across the alley, waiting for the bus, while talking about the things she had asked Zheng Quan to do before.

Zheng Quan was suddenly stunned.

Song Jiyun said: "What's wrong?"

Zheng Quan pointed to the teahouse not far away and said, "I just saw Master Wang. He seemed to have entered the private room of the teahouse with someone from the Changjiang Wharf Inspection Department."

Everyone is an official in Liang County, so it is common for them to have intersections. What was unusual was the tone in which Zheng Quan talked about this matter.

Zheng Quan lowered his voice: "It is said that the Changjiang Wharf Inspection Department is deeply involved in the Prince Ning smuggling case, and the people in the Inspection Department may be blamed."

At this time, the exchanges between Chief Wang and people from the Inspection Department will inevitably make people think.

But Song Jiyun was not too surprised. She stared at the entrance of the alley and said nonchalantly: "Master Wang has been operating in Liang County for many years. He is known as 'anxious to public servants and loves justice'. It's hard to draw a clear line immediately when seeing someone in trouble." .”

"That's true." Zheng Quan said, and the topic naturally turned to Prince Ning's smuggling case, "It is said that the long history of the palace did it under the banner of the prince, and everyone said that the long history took the blame for the prince. But if the case is found in Jingdezhen, I'm afraid Jingdezhen will be in trouble. If nothing happens, he will be stripped of his skin."

Song Jiuyun inexplicably thought of the wild kiln hiding in the hills of Hongjia Mountain, and sighed: "Tell everyone to be careful!"

If we really start to investigate the kilns, the Song Kiln Factory will probably not be spared.

Zheng Quan agreed and said, "I hope County Magistrate Jiang can protect us."

As for Wan Xiaoquan, it would be better if he didn't take the opportunity to search.

Song Jiyun felt a little heavy, and the two of them got into the carriage.

Yuan Yunzhong came back a little late.

But as soon as he came back, he went to Song Jiyun's yard.

Song Jiyun was sitting in front of the mirror taking off his makeup. He was a little surprised when he heard this: "So late?"

During the day, the person Zheng Quan sent to follow him lost track of him, and she didn't know what he was doing.

Xiang Hairpin said happily: "Master Yuan brought over Tangji sugar-fried chestnuts from around the corner."

Autumn is here and chestnuts are in season. The most delicious thing in Liang County is the Tangji Sugar Fried Chestnuts on the corner of his house.

Song Jiyun invited him in.

When he came in, he said with a straight face: "You can help me find a tea set made of blue and white porcelain with a thin rubber ball."

Isn't this the one she gave to Magistrate Jiang this afternoon?

Song Jiyun asked curiously: "What are you going to do?"

"Don't worry about it." He lifted his robe and sat on the Grand Master's chair, saying calmly, "I'm useful!"

Song Jiyun hesitated for a moment.

"What?" Yuan Yunzhong raised his eyebrows, "Can't you?"
