Chapter 380: Drink some ginseng soup to calm your nerves
Su He left with the recommendation letter written by Chen Shi and the token.
County Magistrate Ge was cursing at Chen Shi who was trying to steal his right-hand man's position.
"You little brat, you like to go against me. When did you, the Embroidered Clothes Officers, recruit women?"
Chen Shi ignored him and said, "Just now, I had the final say."
Magistrate Ge was so angry that he laughed again, "What kind of work can Hehua do if she goes to your place? You are just taking revenge on me for telling the teacher about it."
Chen Shi was extremely disdainful, "Don't be so sentimental, I just value talent."
"She can do everything, including confiscation of property, arresting criminals, drawing portraits, and trying cases. She is very suitable for working in our embroidery shop."
County Magistrate Ge's heart sank and he snorted coldly.
"Will anyone obey her if she goes there?"
"Of course, because she was chosen by me, so she has to listen even if she doesn't want to."
Seeing Chen Shi's firm words, County Magistrate Ge looked at him suspiciously.
"You have so many candidates. There are many people from your Chen family waiting in line to enter the Embroidered Clothing Office. Why are you so persistent in finding Lotus?"
"We need capable people to be Embroidered Uniform Officials, we don't want people with connections. It just so happens that the Queen Mother also wants to support female officials. Su Hehua has a clean background. She is a suitable candidate."
Every word made sense, but County Magistrate Ge just didn't quite believe it.
Chen Shi glanced at him and gave him a rude warning.
"Don't even think about keeping her. No one from our Embroidered Uniform Officers dares to intercept her."
County Magistrate Ge was furious. Who was this brat talking to?
"How dare you show off in front of me, little brat? Next time the teacher asks about your whereabouts, I won't cover up for you."
Chen Shi frowned, "I'm going to sleep in the county government office today. I'll check the attendance. Where's the lawyer? Why is he late again? Also, I saw a few temporary workers gambling. I'll give them all a demerit. If they're caught again, I'll just let them go."
As soon as Magistrate Ge heard this, he knew that they were the second-generation rich who got in through connections.
"Those guys are all paid money. They have to pay a large sum of money every year. Just pretend you didn't see it."
Chen Shi heard this and said, "Then I'll double the money. If you can't pay, I'll replace you."
Magistrate Ge waved his hand and told Chen Shi to get out.
"Come on, I still have some official business to attend to. Go find the master yourself."
Chen Shi got up and left, and so the people in the county government lived in fear that day, and the group of people led by the legal advisor had their monthly salary deducted again.
Su He here returned home happily, and now only Liu Niang was there.
"Liu Niang, I found a job again."
Liu Niang looked at the excited Su He and became happy too.
"Didn't you go to return your uniform as a constable? How did you find a new job?"
Su He told the story with a smile.
This time, Liu Niang rarely lost her composure.
"You want to be an embroidered clothes official?!"
"Yes, Master Chen said I can do it. Yes, he even gave me a token of his love. He wouldn't lie to me, would he?"
Su He showed the token to Liu Niang, but she didn't give her the envelope, as it was already in the space.
After reading it carefully, Liu Niang had to believe that it was true.
She looked at Su He with complicated eyes, "He Hua, you don't need your brother to support you, you can do it on your own."
Su He laughed out loud.
"Then I can't keep doing this. I'll just do it for a few years and wait for Mu to become an official, and then I'll just eat and drink every day. How happy it is."
Liu Niang burst out laughing. This person's belief in being a parasite is too strong.
"Madam Liu, let's have lunch early. After lunch, I'll take a nap and go to the Zhao Mansion in the afternoon. We need to find a house in the capital. Oh, I should ask Mr. Chen for help. Maybe I can get a better deal if I buy a house from him."
Su He clapped his hands, feeling extremely regretful. It was a mistake.
Forget it, she didn’t want to move, so she decided to eat first.
"Master Chen, are you still in the dental business?"
Liu Niang asked in disbelief, "A clerk in embroidered clothes also does this? This job is too complicated."
"No, I heard from Magistrate Ge that Lord Chen often raids homes, and when he raids homes, the house will definitely be confiscated. I plan to take advantage of this."
Su He thought happily, if it's cheap, she'll buy a big one, she can also grow some vegetables in the yard, dig a pond and raise some fish, etc. to be self-sufficient.
"Liu Niang, let's eat noodles. I'm hungry after walking all the way back."
When Liu Niang heard this, she hurried to the kitchen and brought out a plate of Eight Treasures Cake.
"This is what I just made. Eat it. It's still early in the day. I'll make it now."
As Liu Niang spoke, she picked out a handful of pickles from the pickle jar and started cutting them.
"There's hot milk tea on the side, pour yourself a cup."
"Oh."
Su He poured himself a cup, sat at the dining table, humming a song and eating cake leisurely.
In ancient times, there were no electronic products to kill time, so Su He could only chat with Liu Niang.
"I don't know if my office is close to Yunkai Academy. If it is, that would be great. I will buy a house nearby. If it is not, I can only find a place close to Xiuyi Institute. After all, I can't get up early."
Liu Niang smiled, "Hehua, you can ride your horse openly now. Don't worry about being late."
Su He swung her legs and quickly finished a whole piece of Eight Treasures Cake.
"And give me a horse! Then I'll choose carefully. If I had known, I would have learned a few moves from Xiaobai. Although the job of the Embroidered Clothes Official is powerful, it is also hated. If I had martial arts skills like Xiaobai, I wouldn't be afraid."
Su He was considering whether he could take Liu Bai with him on his errand.
"Let him be your coachman. He will be glad."
Su He started laughing again.
Liu Bai, who was teaching children martial arts in Tianyuan Village, kept sneezing. He was silent for a moment and put on another piece of clothing.
Zhao Mansion
Chen had just finished her nap when Su He walked in.
"Madam, I'm going to the capital."
Mother Zhang brought Chen a cup of ginseng soup. Chen took a sip and asked with a smile.
"What are you going to do? The Minister of War has invited you again?"
"No, I'm going to be a clerk in embroidering clothes."
Su He did not hear the expected praise. When she looked up, she saw Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhang looking at her with eyes that showed care for the mentally retarded.
Su He was not convinced, "What's wrong, you don't believe it?"
"I believe it. By the way, when will you start writing the storybook? Have you rested long enough?"
After asking this question, Chen turned and said to Mother Zhang.
"Change it to bird's nest tomorrow. This ginseng soup is boring."
"Yes, miss, I'll add some milk to your bird's nest tomorrow. I tried it last time and it tasted great."
"Really? Why didn't you tell me earlier? And you ate delicious food behind my back."
Chen glanced at Zhang's mother and said angrily.
Su He slapped the token directly on the table next to Chen.
"I'll leave after the New Year. Cherish it. It won't be so easy for you to see me in the future."
Su He snorted coldly and sat back. These two people still looked down on her.
Just wait, they will be out of reach in the future.
Chen picked up the token and looked at it carefully to confirm that it was authentic.
"How did you get in?"
"Master Chen asked me to come in and be his follower. Maybe he thinks highly of my ability."
Su He spoke seriously, and turned around to give Xier beside him some instructions.
"Xi'er, give me some snacks. I want the most expensive and the newest ones, fresh out of the pot."
Xier smiled, glanced at Mother Zhang, bowed and went out.
Chen felt it was even more magical when he heard this.
"Ashi?"
"Yes, Magistrate Ge is here too. How could I lie? I am a very talented person. Do you think I can only write storybooks?"
Su He raised an eyebrow and questioned.
"My brother is going to study in Yunkai. Madam, is the housing price there expensive?"
Chen felt that today's shock was not enough.
"Yun Kai? Where did you get the quota?"
"It was given to me by Magistrate Ge. He said I did a good job and gave it to me as a reward."
"What? He has this ability?"
Chen tried hard to digest what she had heard. Wasn't Yunkai Academy famous for its strictness? Both of her grandsons had passed the exams to get in.
It’s incredible! This girl must have made a great contribution. How could her maid be so capable?
"What about the ginseng soup? Bring me another bowl."
Chen patted his chest and decided to drink another bowl to calm his nerves.
"I want me too."
Su He had smelled the aroma of the ginseng soup a long time ago, and when he heard that there was more, he shamelessly asked for a bowl.
"Madam, you haven't told me yet about the housing price. If our whole family goes there, we can't go without a place to live."
