Chapter 739: Befriending

The next day, Qiao Xiaoru and Lu Zhan were about to discuss with He San and a guy who was familiar with the local area after coming over to discuss the matter of hiring people to dig canals and ponds.

Qiao Xiaoru and Lu Zhan glanced at each other, and they both thought of what the master asked yesterday.

He County Order must have come for this matter.

The county order was invited, and the two naturally had to go.

He County Ling didn't care about avoiding suspicion or suspicion, and the two people who came forward to greet Mrs. He greeted each other and asked about sweet potato flour and potato flour.

Qiao Xiaoru replied as if it were yesterday.

But obviously He County Ling was not satisfied, and he was very eager in his words, so that Qiao Xiaoru must make this matter happen, and he couldn't wait for her to make a military order.

Qiao Xiaoru couldn't cry or laugh, and naturally couldn't say anything about it, and was forced by He County's order to say that this thing could basically be done.

He Xian Ling didn't know where the confidence came from, Qiao Xiaoru obviously didn't say anything, his reaction was clear, and he listened to it as a full word, and his face lit up with joy.

Repeatedly asked Qiao Xiaoru to assure that after the success of the work, it would not be announced in Suiyun County first, and it would be announced in their Yichun County first.

"After all, Mrs. Qiao only thought of doing this because of the production in the fields here, and it is not an exaggeration to take the lead in announcing it in our Yichun County." He County Ling Zhenzhen has words.

Of course, Qiao Xiaoru has a lot of benefits.

This is also true, Qiao Xiaoru thought about it and agreed.

He County Ling expressed his willingness to help, Qiao Xiaoru excused himself, and only smiled: "There is a steward in my family who has to stay here and hire workers to reclaim those lands, repair canals, and build houses, and ask the adults to ask someone to take care of them, and the women are grateful!" ”

He Xianling laughed, smiled and said that it was a trivial matter, and he agreed very happily.

Qiao Xiaoru also said that before this matter is successful, please keep it secret, for fear that it will not look good if it doesn't work out at that time.

He County's order is determined to be successful, or if it succeeds, it will have too much impact on his career, and he is only willing to believe that it will succeed.

But he still agreed with Qiao Xiaoru's words and said that he would keep it secret.

The two of them were very enthusiastic and left Qiao Xiaoru and Lu Zhan for lunch, but the two had to thank Sheng.

Lunch was eaten separately, Mrs. He greeted Qiao Xiaoru in the back hall, and He County Ling and Master He entertained Lu Zhan in the front hall.

The matter involved the career and future of her master, and Mrs. He's attitude towards Qiao Xiaoru was also much more enthusiastic all of a sudden, and she took the initiative to raise the topic with her with a smile and gossip, which was very kind.

Of course, these homely gossips are not untargeted, quietly inquiring about her life and experience.

Qiao Xiaoru has nothing to say to others, only whether she is willing or not.

If you can say a few more words, if you don't want to say it, you will smile and take the words gently and naturally and naturally.

In this way, Mrs. He thinks a little more highly of her, if she is an honest person who only promises and answers honestly when she asks a question, she does not believe that she can do something that her husband appreciates.

Qiao Xiaoru's attitude of not being humble or arrogant obviously had an idea at first glance, which made her trust it a little more.

In the front hall, He Xianling and Master He looked at Lu Zhan seriously for the first time.

After looking at it, both of them couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

Lu Zhan and Lu Gongzi are not conspicuous on weekdays, silent and rarely talk, everything is Qiao Niangzi who comes forward to call the shots, they originally only thought that this was a man who would hide behind his daughter-in-law to eat, and they didn't look at him at all, and they subconsciously gave birth to a little disdain in their hearts.

However, when he came into contact with him head-on today, he felt that his bearing and temperament were far from ordinary country men.

Not to mention ordinary country men, even how many sons and young masters from big families, and even people like them who have been in the world for I don't know how many years, have to admit that they are inferior to him.

The master couldn't help but smile and asked Lu Zhan if he had gone through the imperial examination? Do you have a reputation for yourself now?

In his opinion, mud legs definitely don't have this kind of temperament, so they must be readers.

Lu Zhan smiled faintly, and only said that he had read a little bit and knew a few words, and he had not gone through the imperial examination, but he had served in the army for a few years.

He Xian Ling and Master He suddenly realized that this made sense.

When the master asked Lu Zhan curiously which military camp he was staying in, Lu Zhan only smiled and vaguely said the southwest, and then changed the topic.

Master and He Xianling are not uninteresting people, seeing Lu Zhan like this, he is only reluctant to mention the past when he is not good in the military camp - this is easy to imagine, mixed well, I am afraid that he has already been promoted and earned an official body, where will he go back to his hometown to mix here?

So I laughed and didn't mention it anymore.

In short, this day can be regarded as a happy day for the guests and hosts, and the two sides are also thin and have a little friendship.

The master patted his chest and reassured Qiao Xiaoru and Lu Zhan that the housekeeper of their family hired people to reclaim land here, and absolutely no one dared to bully them as foreigners, so if there was any trouble, just look for him.

Qiao Xiaoru thanked her with great joy.

struck while the iron was hot, and the next day asked Lu Zhan to take He San and prepare a generous gift to meet the master, and asked for a private room in the best local restaurant to invite the master to dinner, which was regarded as introducing He San to the master.

If you are not familiar with the land and mix in this land, it is always a good thing to have someone to shelter you.

Seeing that Lu Zhan and He San were so polite, the master was naturally happy to make friends.

Yichun County was poor, and the news of recruiting workers spread, and enough hired workers were recruited from the countryside.

In addition, with the guidance and help of the master, it went more smoothly.

Qiao Xiaoru and Lu Zhan waited for everything to be on the right track, so they handed over everything to He San, and said that after going back, Zhang Xiaoquan and Lu Huaijin would also come over to help, and then went back.

When I returned to Suiyun County, I got two pieces of news.

One is about Lu Jinhe and Qiao Huaizhi.

Lu Jinhe and Qiao Huaizhi lived up to expectations and won the Zhongjin sergeant in one fell swoop, and Lu Jinhe's ranking was relatively high.

The final result was that Lu Jinhe was appointed to the Hanlin Academy as an editor, and Qiao Huaizhi was released to a county seat in the south as a county magistrate.

During Qiao Xiaoru and Lu Zhan's trip to Yichun County, the two came back very beautifully.

There are two jinshi in a village, which is naturally a great joy that has caused a sensation in the whole county and Linxian County.

Because he missed the Hou Shizi of Qingjiang and had been depressed and wanted to vomit blood, Meng County Ling, who had not yet recovered, was also immediately refreshed after getting the news.

Because, this is also a political achievement.

This is strong evidence of the flourishing of religion under his rule.

Meng Xian Ling entertained the two of them very warmly, and held the peer courtesy of his colleagues, with a smile on his face all the time, and he was very polite.
