Three women know the county is not at home, the snake head claims to be the king
Liu Yimao drove away the carriage driver, and after inquiring about the route to Luoshui County Government, she decided to walk there. This way, she could also take the opportunity to inspect Luoshui County, which would soon be under her governance.
As dusk approached, the western sun cast a golden glow on the white walls and green tiles of the city wall, which was reflected in the moat. The crowded streets were filled with people coming and going, vendors calling out to customers, and groups of children playing together, creating an indescribable bustle.
"Make way, make way", the sturdy porter shouted as he carried his heavy load, while Liu Yimeng fanned herself leisurely and was so absorbed in admiring the beautiful scenery that she didn't notice until Yan Shenxuan spoke up to remind her, then she came back to herself and smiled apologetically at the porter.
"She doesn't even have a soul when she walks." Jiao Hua looked at her with disdain, then turned to Yan Sheng and smiled sweetly, "Fortunately, there's Young Master Yan!"
"Yes, yes, Jiaohua sister taught me well." Liu Yimeng nodded and bowed with a thick face, turned around and walked leisurely in the courtyard.
With a "crash", accompanied by the sound of a broken porcelain jar, an intoxicating aroma wafted out, and wine spilled all over the ground. "How are you walking?!" The young man pulling the cart angrily turned his head, looking at the innocent-looking culprit, getting even angrier, "I'm carrying such a big load here, didn't you see it?! Don't you know to give way?!"
"Hmm, I didn't mean to either. What's with the big attitude, little bro?" Liu Yimeng's lower hem was also splashed with a large patch of wine, which clung to her body, making her feel very uncomfortable. She had wanted to apologize, but hearing his words, she immediately changed her mind and said, "Besides, this road isn't yours alone, why should I give way to you?"
She stuck her neck out and finished speaking, the young man was not reconciled, the onlookers gathered around in a large crowd. Her gaze swept through the crowd, and she saw that Jiao Hua was pulling Yan Shenxian to hide outside the crowd, pointing at her and saying "we don't know her" whenever they met someone.
Grandpa's, I knew it was a white-eyed wolf! She pouted and thought that since she had just taken office, it would be better not to stir up any trouble. So, she decided to appease the situation by taking out a five-tael silver ingot from her purse and handing it to the young man. "Alright, alright, let's consider it my fault. This is for your wine money." Anyway, this person was pulling her into an argument, just wanting her to give him money. For such a small jar of wine, giving five taels of silver was already more than enough, but unexpectedly, the person refused to give up.
。
"What do you mean it's your fault? This is originally your fault! You not only intentionally knocked over my wine, but also insulted me with silver!" The young man forcefully stuffed the silver back, his hand trembling as he pointed at Liu Yimeng, his face red with rage, as if he had really been insulted. "Let me tell you, don't look down on people, everyone in our Bijiu Wine Workshop has dignity!"
"Fine, you people who have no dignity whether you're male or female." Liu Yimeng couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. Good heavens, who would use money to humiliate her to death?!
"It's Bi Gong Wine Workshop!" The young man corrected in a rage, his teeth grinding with a "ka-cha" sound. For some reason, the more he looked at this sloppy youngster, the more displeased he became.
"Alright, alright, little brother, what do you want to do now? I've apologized and paid the silver." Liu Yimeng threw up his hands, as if suddenly remembering something, and became excited, "Could it be that in broad daylight you still want to extort?"
She smiled and asked, not minding at all that on her first day in office she had to deal with a blackmail case.
"This..." The young man suddenly had nothing to say, and when he heard her say this, he indeed felt that he was being unreasonable. His original intention was just to get the other person to apologize and that would be the end of it. But how did he feel that although this person apologized, they couldn't find even a bit of sincerity?
"Never mind, never mind, let's each take a step back, and make peace to bring prosperity. Ah Zhong, listen to Grandma's advice, just drop it!"
An old woman walked over from the crowd of onlookers and tried to mediate, with many people around her echoing her sentiments.
"Is that so, Ah Zhong? You've dug out some new wine to take over to Young Master Yao for inspection, don't keep him waiting..."
"It's pointless to compete with such a rich young master."
"Give my regards to Master Yao..."
Everyone you a sentence I a word, Liu Yimiao's smile was frozen on her face. What are you talking about?! How can you mention her in the same breath as those good-for-nothing young masters who only know how to squander their family's wealth?
"Alright, let's just forget it this time. Kid, be more careful when walking next time!" Ah Zhong responded with a smile to the crowd, then turned around and gave Liu Yimeng a cold hum, pulled up his car and left.
The crowd dispersed, leaving Liu Zimo standing still on the spot, rolling his eyes and fanning himself.
Watching Ah Zhong drag a big cart of wine and water further and further away, I vaguely heard someone talking to him.
"By the way, Ah Zhong, about Wang Lao's daughter-in-law on West Street who ran off with someone else, let Young Master Yao know and see when he has time to come over and make a judgment..."
"Alright, I'll definitely pass it on..."
Also, the embroidered goods in Guihua Hutong Xiu Fang were stolen last night...
"Got it..."
“……”
"Old trick...... Little Liu, are you okay?" Yan Shenxian walked over, his tightly pursed lips curled up, and his white clothes, which were dyed golden by the sunset, set off his slender figure, looking extraordinary.
Jiao Hua wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, also walked to Liu Yimeng's side, "Oh my, Miss, why are you all wet?" She was full of concern, but her face showed extra schadenfreude.
"It's because it rained just now, Jiaohua sister." Liu Yimeng raised her head, with a strange smile all over her face.
"Is it going to rain?" The delicate flower raised her eyes and glanced at the golden patch on the horizon, whispering softly, "I think you've gone crazy!"
Liu Yimao didn't bother to argue with her, inserted the folded fan into her neck, picked up the wet hem of her skirt and wrung it out, twisting her hands together, instantly filling them with the fragrance of wine.
"What kind of person is this Yao Gongzi?" Liu Yimeng thought as he walked, "Why do people from Luoshui County all seem to be looking for him? Could it be that he's the county magistrate or something?!"
"You're really stupid, aren't you? You're the county magistrate of Luoshui County, who else could it be?" Jiaohua looked at her with disdain.
"Alright, alright, Jiaohua is the smartest, you just rest for a while", Liu Yimiao waved her hand impatiently. "Yan Gege, you tell him, you're more familiar with this place than I am."
Yan Shen's zither was silent for a moment, and he quickly replied, "I left Luoshui County many years ago, so I'm not very clear about many things. As for this Yao Gongzi, all I know is that he's the owner of Bi Gong Wine Workshop and has a high reputation in Luoshui County."
"How high? How high is that?" Liu Yimeng turned around and stared at him, with a few threads of disdain and some vigilance in his clear black eyes. "In the mountains without tigers, monkeys claim to be kings! He's just a local snake, no matter how high his prestige can it surpass that of our county magistrate?!"
