The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 176 Reply from Home

The village head greeted Ye Xinran first before bringing the county magistrate in.

Ye Xinran took out the best tea and snacks in her home to entertain the county magistrate, but she kept saying that she didn't know much about the thresher.

The anxious county magistrate drank two more cups of tea to cool down.

It was not until Lu Changqing returned home that the matter began to take shape.

Lu Changqing is the son of a marquis and is not from Yuntong County, so he has no feelings about the identity of County Magistrate Qiao.

When he heard that the county magistrate wanted to see the thresher drawings, he first looked at Ye Xinran.

Only after Ye Xinran agreed did he go to the study and get the drawings.

This drawing has been improved according to the machine made.

It's lighter than the one they made originally.

Lu Changqing was clear and organized, and he quickly explained the principle to County Magistrate Qiao.

Qiao Zhengshan nodded as he listened.

After hearing this, he looked at Lu Changqing who was talking so eloquently and couldn't help but think of his son again.

Qiao Ziyu has been in a state of depression ever since the incident at the Ye family.

Recently he has been having nightmares at night, shouting that Ye Xinyao is coming to take him away.

Looking at her increasingly haggard son, Mrs. Qiao cried every day.

Qiao Zhengshan also felt very unhappy.

Qiao Zhengshan felt sad again when he thought about how he had worked so hard for so many years, but when he got old he might not even be able to rely on his son.

If only I hadn’t called off the engagement!

If the engagement had not been cancelled, the smart and capable Ye Xinran would have been his daughter-in-law.

This knowledgeable and talented Mr. Lu also wants to call me uncle.

Qiao Zhengshan thought.

……

After understanding all the drawings, the county magistrate stood up and said goodbye.

Out of politeness, Ye Xinran invited him and Li Zai to have dinner at her home.

At the dinner table, Qiao Zhengshan met Mrs. Lu again after many years.

Mrs. Lu's appearance has not changed, but with every gesture, the aura of the mistress of the house has become stronger and stronger.

"I heard that you called Xinran and Huaian to the county government to investigate the case, and you wanted to push the neighbor's murder case onto them."

As soon as Mrs. Lu picked up the chopsticks, she asked a very serious question.

Qiao Zhengshan almost lost his chopsticks when he heard this question, and quickly replied: "I just went over to ask a few questions, it's the normal process of handling a case."

"Didn't the Marquis ask you to do this?"

Leng Qingyu didn't believe it.

The Marquis has always been in contact with Qiao Zhengshan.

She didn't believe that Qiao Zhengshan would do such a thing without asking the Marquis beforehand.

Qiao Zhengshan put down his chopsticks completely this time.

This is not a dinner invitation!

This is the Hongmen Banquet!

She did not dare to hesitate for a moment and quickly replied: "Madam, what are you talking about? How could the Marquis let me do such a thing!"

He still didn't know what the Lu family's current situation was.

However, such words that would destroy the relationship between husband and wife must not come out of his mouth.

Seeing that he refused to admit it, Leng Qingyu stopped questioning and just said, "Xinran is my Ye family's child. No matter what mistakes she makes or what she does in the future, my Ye family will bear the responsibility.

Children are ignorant, and I hope that Magistrate Qiao, as a parent official, can give my daughter and son-in-law more advice. "

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Qiao Zhengshan quickly agreed.

The Leng family's financial strength is well-known in Daliang.

No matter what the current situation of the Marquis and Madam Lu is, he cannot afford to offend the Ye family.

Qiao Zhengshan quickly flattered him, "Mr. Lu is very talented. The thresher he made will definitely be appreciated by the higher-ups. I will report this matter and ask for a reward for Mr. Lu."

Leng Qingyu knew Qiao Zhengshan's attitude and said with a smile, "Then I'll have to trouble County Magistrate Qiao."

Leng Qingyu didn't take it seriously as a small reward.

Changqing is the eldest son of the Lu family, and the title will definitely be inherited by Changqing in the future.

However, since Qiao Zhengshan was willing to work hard for her, Leng Qingyu was not afraid that she would dare to harm her daughter in the future.

"Don't be polite, County Magistrate Qiao. Please eat more food.

Xinran is a very good cook, and these dishes are all prepared by her with great care.”

Qiao Zhengshan was on pins and needles.

At this moment, even if the delicacies from land and sea were placed in front of him, he could not taste them.

Fortunately, the Xiao family eats very quickly, so there is no need to clink glasses at the table.

This torment was over soon.

After returning to the county government office, Qiao Zhengshan immediately asked someone to make another thresher according to the drawings.

Two days later, the thresher was completed.

Qiao Zhengshan took the thresher to the provincial capital overnight.

Time waits for no one. When the weather gets cold, the thresher becomes less important.

There is still late rice in the south that has not been harvested at this time of the year. If we want to promote the thresher, now is the right time.

When Prefect Liu saw the thresher, he was also greatly shocked.

"County Magistrate Qiao, there has been no activity in Yuntong County in recent years. It turns out that they are researching this thresher!"

Liu Fenglin teased.

Qiao Zhengshan quickly explained: "To answer your question, sir, this thresher was not invented by me, but was made by the son of the Marquis of Jing'an who saw how hard the people were working and worked tirelessly for a long time!"

"It was actually made by the young master of Jing'an Marquis's Mansion?"

Prefect Liu was shocked.

He originally thought that this thing was useful and wanted to promote it in several large counties under his jurisdiction.

But when he heard that he was the son of a marquis, he immediately felt that his chance to show himself had come.

If he reports this to the court and the court adopts it, not only their Tianchang Prefecture will be rewarded, but also Master Lu!

By then, because of his recommendation, Mr. Lu's fame will be spread, and Marquis Jing'an will definitely look at him differently.

Having climbed onto the high branch of Jing'an Marquis Mansion, wouldn't it be just a matter of time for him to advance to the next level in the future?

Liu Fenglin had a good plan in his mind, and even foresaw that he would be promoted to a higher level soon.

……

The thresher was promoted level by level, and people in official circles already regarded the thresher as a treasure.

Ye Xinran and Lu Changqing didn't pay much attention to this matter.

After all, they are too far away from the court.

To present the thresher as a tribute, one had to go through layers of recommendations, and at which level it became the official's own political achievement.

The first level of officialdom crushes people to death.

By then, they won't be able to go and complain to anyone with the drawings.

Anyway, neither Leng Qingyu nor Ye Xinran were interested in things like promotion or wealth, so they only expressed their gratitude for the recommendation from the head of the village and did not hold much expectations for it.

Soon, other villages in the county also started using threshers.

With the help of threshers, people easily and quickly threshed all the remaining rice and stored it.

The people praised the thresher highly.

Lu Changqing didn't know that he had become a strange person in the eyes of the common people.

In the official circles, some people began to praise Lord Lu for his good parenting.

However, before the village head received the reward from above, Mrs. Lu received a reply letter from home.
