The six women's warm greetings to the county magistrate
Finally, the entire county government office was swept clean, although it still looked a bit broken, but compared to yesterday, it had improved a lot. At least it could be considered a place for people to live... Liu Yimiao was excited for a while and thought of taking advantage of the situation to boost morale, so he decided to take everyone out to dinner.
"Wherever it's expensive, go there!" Liu Yimiao waved her hand and a group of neatly dressed people poured out.
"Master, no need to spend so much, eating is the same everywhere...". Wu Si San muttered all along the way, "Nowadays, the silver used for expenses in the government office is really limited, if we eat like this, it's possible that after finishing one meal, there won't be enough for the next..."
"What's all the fuss about? I've got my own silver here!" Liu Yimeng shooed Wu Si away like a fly.
。
"Really? How much did Master bring?" Wusiqisan asked with a smile.
"One hundred thousand taels! Is it enough?"
"Enough, enough, enough... Where did Master get so much silver?"
"You'd believe anything!"
“……”
Liu Yimao, under the leadership of Wu Si and the four great catchers, rushed to the most prosperous and spacious street in Luoshui County, and chose a wine tower that looked the most beautiful. He walked in with his head held high and his chest out, and as soon as he saw someone he knew, he loudly greeted them.
"Ah, Director Zhang, you're also having lunch here?!"
"Boss Li, see? This is our master! Isn't he handsome?"
Several people's loud voices added together were so loud that the whole street could hear them clearly, and they all thought to themselves, "Damn it, we can finally hold our heads high for once!"
For a time, this group of people had the highest rate of return in the entire building, with people discussing and gossiping, and then one person told ten, ten told hundreds, and within half a day, everyone in Luoshui County knew that not only did the county magistrate take office today, but he was also a woman...
Liu Yimao didn't mind the various gazes of others, and cooperatively put on a calm smile to nod at everyone, although most of the expressions she got back were not just blank stares or indifference, but rather flirtatious and admiring gazes that sized her up.
Eight people sat down around a round table in the center of the first floor hall, and the waiter reluctantly carried over the menu. "What do you gentlemen want to eat? The dog doesn't understand buns are at the third stall across the street, scallion pancakes are next door, if you want to drink soup, you can also go to the noodle shop opposite... Ah, what are you doing? Don't come here messing around! I'm warning you, my aunt's husband's eighth cousin is friends with the steward of Emperor Yao, be careful!" He stuck out his tongue and covered his chest, panting desperately.
"Speak up, why aren't you speaking?!" Big Liu picked up the knife sheath hanging from his neck and forcefully knocked it on his head twice. He then snatched the menu from his hand and said indignantly, "Don't look down on people with your dog eyes, thinking I can't afford to eat... Uh, let's have Da Huang order instead..."
Dahuang handed over the menu and looked at it, then passed it to Dasun's hand. Like this, one person passed it to another, no one dared to order dishes. Suddenly, Jiaohua got angry, patted the table, snatched the menu, "Look at you guys, no wonder people look down on you. They all said it was my family's young lady who invited, what's the point of not spending money if it can't be brought with you when you're born or taken away when you die?"
"! This, this, this......" She ordered more than twenty dishes in one breath, and whatever looked expensive she would order it. Wu Si San and the others were shocked and praised her for being generous and bold, a heroine among women. Liu Yi Mian twitched the corner of her mouth, thinking that no wonder it wasn't her own money being spent.
The delicate flower tossed the menu back onto Xiao Er's face, then sat down with a smile, saying without any humility, "What is this? In the past when I was at the Shangshu Fu, wasn't it like this every day? The chefs in the Shangshu Fu were from the Imperial Kitchen, and their dishes were incredibly delicious. If there's an opportunity in the future... Oh, I'm afraid that won't be happening anytime soon..."
"What did you say about the Shangshu Fu?" Wu Si's greyish-white eyes sparkled, "Did Jiaohua and Master used to be in the Shangshu Fu? I wonder what position they held?"
"Drink, you don't know yet, my family's young lady is the Shangshu's daughter... Ah..." Jiao Hua glared at Liu Yishan with wide eyes, but saw her transmit a warning gaze, and hastily changed her words, "En, she's the best friend of the Shangshu's daughter..." After speaking, she rolled her eyes and gave her a white eye, not understanding why she didn't let herself reveal her identity.
"Yes, yes, so I was once fortunate enough to stay in the Shangshu Mansion for a few days." Liu Yimeng smiled and nodded, ignoring the contemptuous gaze of Jiaohua.
"Shangshu's friend, no wonder a woman can also be an official, the capital is indeed a good place." Wu Si San looked up at a 45-degree angle, his face full of longing. "When can I go to the capital to take a look? I heard that the boats there are particularly big, and the girls are particularly beautiful..." Suddenly, he caught sight of Jiao Hua nodding vigorously in agreement, and Wu Si San decided to retract his last sentence in his heart.
"Hey, little brother! Why haven't you served the dishes yet?!" Da Sun yelled loudly while rubbing his growling stomach.
"What's the hurry?! Are you starving to death?!" A few waiters gathered at the counter, pretending to be busy.
"Damn it!" Da Sun slammed his fist on the table, really wanting to pick up a stool and hit someone.
"It's okay, just be patient and wait a bit longer." Liu Yimeng rotated the empty teacup on the table, saying it casually, while Yan Shenxian sat quietly beside her, with a gentle smile always on his face.
After a long time, the guests at the surrounding tables had ordered and finished their meals, leaving in batches. The dishes for Liu Yimeng's table still hadn't arrived, and even Jiao Hua was getting restless, fidgeting with her sleeves and looking around to find someone to scold. Meanwhile, Liu Yimeng remained as calm as a mountain, his eyes lazily fixed on the crowd of people entering and exiting through the doorway.
Suddenly a young man who looked somewhat familiar walked in, dressed in a rough attire with a silly grin on his face that seemed to have been seen before.
Liu Yimao was about to think carefully, but saw the shopkeeper who had just opened his mouth enthusiastically greeting that person, "Ah Zhongge is here, are you going to deliver food to Yao Gongzi?"
"Yes, Master Yao has been investigating cases since early morning and must be exhausted. I need to send it over quickly so he won't go hungry." Ah Zhong replied.
"Of course, I'll go and hurry up the kitchen. Is the food still the same?"
"Yes, but don't put scallions in the dish, I see that Master Yao always picks them out."
"Alright, alright, I remember! I'll go right away!" With that, Xiao Er took off running even faster than a rabbit.
Liu Yimao suddenly remembered that this man was one of Yao Gongzi's accomplices who had hit her Ah Zhong with a car yesterday.
"Ah Zhong, how's it going on Guihua Hutong? Has the thief been found?" someone asked while waiting for dishes, chatting with Ah Zhong.
"What's the point of asking? With Yao Gongzi taking action, what can't be obtained?"
"Of course!"
"Ah Zhong, has the Floating Girl gone too?"
"What's the point of asking this after it's gone?!"
"Heh heh...... Can't I just ask casually?"
"No way!"
"Ah Zhong, who was the thief after all?"
"She is just an embroiderer in the embroidery workshop..."
"What? No way! How did Lord Yao find out?"
"Haha, this story is going to be long..."
The sound of a "crash" tea cup being smashed to the ground and splitting open interrupted Ah Zhong, who was about to respond, and also attracted the attention of everyone in the entire building.
Liu Yimian stood up expressionlessly, picked up a celadon vase from the table and smashed it to pieces with a loud crash. "All bailiffs of Luoshui County, listen to my orders! Demolish this broken wine house for me! I will take full responsibility for all consequences!"
