After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

The county magistrate stood in the square, shouting to stop, while the officials guarded him indifferently.

It wasn't until the Ding clan members came out and the county magistrate gave the order that the officials suppressed the chaotic scene.

Then came the thunder method, issuing several instructions in succession.

First, this year, 50 people will be selected for free admission to the Ding Clan Academy by drawing lots.

Second, encourage other capable gentry to apply to the county government to open free schools.

Third, Ding will make up for his mistakes and will provide candidates for other newly opened schools.

Finally, from now on, all children who meet the two-year free admission requirements will no longer be allowed to set a threshold and will be admitted to the school.

Of course, the prerequisite for this last point to proceed is that the second measure can be implemented smoothly.

After four instructions, the people cheered and said that Kaiyang County had a Qingtian master who belonged to the people.

The commotion outside could not affect Qin Yao and his wife on the carriage.

The two looked at Jinhua helplessly and sympathetically. Now it depends on the little girl's own luck.

Soon, the Ding family made a box for drawing lots and threw 285 bamboo sticks into it.

Among them, fifty bamboo sticks are dotted with red, and the rest are colorless. Only those who win the red lottery can enter the Ding School.

All the students who signed up were present, and under the supervision of the county magistrate, they lined up to draw lots.

Liu Zhong and Qiu hurriedly led their children over to line up, leaving only Liu Ji and Qin Yao in the car.

After all, it's not all innocent. It's better to stay away from the presence of the county magistrate, so as not to cause trouble.

Unexpectedly, before the two of them passed, Magistrate Song looked over with an inquiring gaze.

To be honest, he had been curious about the carriage parked on the roadside in the distance for a long time!

The carriages of Wang Mawu's family are exquisitely made, and at first glance they are incompatible with the ordinary carriages next to them. It is difficult not to attract attention.

As for the people of Jinshi Town now, if there are still people who don't recognize this car, they will be laughed at.

More than a hundred meters away, Liu Ji felt like a thorn in his back. He hurriedly got into the carriage and told Qin Yao with a guilty conscience:

"The county magistrate seems to be watching us."

Qin Yao had noticed it a long time ago and said nonchalantly: "He can watch it if he likes."

Liu Ji groaned and opened the car curtain to see what was going on at Liu Zhong's side. A green official robe suddenly came into view. "My mother," she screamed strangely, and said nervously: "My dear, my dear! He, he's coming here." Got it!"

"Who?" Qin Yao glared at Liu Ji, surprised.

Liu Ji said in horror: "County magistrate! He's coming, he's coming straight towards our carriage."

Liu Ji looked at Qin Yao helplessly. Was he here to hold him accountable?

Qin Yao raised the car curtain suspiciously and looked out. The only people who came were Magistrate Song and an official. She waved her hand to calm down the nervous Liu Ji and said, "I don't know anything else, but it's obvious that I'm not here to arrest anyone."

Just as he was talking, the person was already approaching.

The other party has already seen them, and it would be rude to remain stunned and not get off the carriage to greet them.

"Get off the carriage." Qin Yao gave Liu Ji a light kick. Liu Ji was caught off guard and fell off the carriage with a cry.

Fortunately, he was agile and landed on the ground with a graceful spin and stabilized his figure.

Magistrate Song raised his eyebrows suspiciously. What kind of strange way of greeting is this?

Qin Yao jumped out of the car, took two steps forward, clasped her fists and saluted, "Qin Yao, a commoner woman, have met your Excellency!" Liu Ji followed suit and bowed: "Liu Ji, a commoner, has paid my respects to the County Magistrate!"

Song Zhang smiled slightly and raised his hand to signal the two of them to excuse themselves.

The last time I met Qin Yao was when I was suppressing bandits.

Lao Huang, who was pulling the cart at the moment, was also led home by Qin Yao at that time.

Song Zhang took a look at the horse, and found that it was no longer bald. Its hair was now smooth and smooth, showing that it had been fed with care.

Seeing the county magistrate, he just looked after the horses without saying a word. Liu Ji took the initiative to ask, "Sir, come here, do you have any advice?"

Song Zhang glanced at him, then looked at Qin Yao, and said jokingly: "Ms. Qin's husband has a good appearance. Everyone says that a hero has a hard time being a beauty. It seems that Mrs. Qin is not exempt from the vulgarity."

The corners of the couple's mouths twitched together.

Liu Ji felt resentful at being looked down upon by the other party.

Qin Yao also felt that she had been insulted, the smile on her face disappeared, and she hummed in front of her without commenting.

Song Zhang didn't speak, and she didn't speak either, to see who was more embarrassed.

After all, Liu Jidang couldn't hold it in anymore and realized that Song Zhang's goal was Qin Yao, so he took the initiative and asked if he wanted to go to the town tavern to sit down and chat slowly.

Only then did Song Zhang take a look at him. Apart from his appearance, he really couldn't see anything about this man that could attract the attention of Daru and Qin Yao at the same time.

As for drinking, he did not refuse, but he was not free today, so he would definitely do it next time.

"I heard that you have opened two good teahouses in Liujiacun. I would like to go and have a look next time I have free time." As he spoke, Song Zhang's eyes stayed on Qin Yao, observing her reaction.

But before Qin Yao could answer, Liu Ji said enthusiastically: "That's great! On behalf of all the villagers of Liujia Village, the grassroots warmly welcome you!"

Song Zhang nodded politely and did not continue the topic.

He looked at the busy Ding family ancestral hall and suddenly asked: "Haven't the four children in Mrs. Qin's family already entered the Ding clan to learn? Why are they still here to join in the fun?"

Qin Yao said coldly: "It seems that the adults still don't know clearly. In fact, we have more than four children."

Having said this, he paused for a moment, then chuckled and added: "We are connected by blood, so the children of our brothers and sisters are naturally our children."

Song Zhang smiled and said: "Since the families are divided, each family takes care of its own, and the children of brothers and sisters are also under the control of Mrs. Qin. Could it be that you are also in charge of the families of brothers and sisters?"

"That's not true, because I don't mind my own business." Qin Yao looked into his eyes with a mocking tone.

Liu Ji raised his handsome eyebrows from behind as if watching a show, but still pretended to scold him, "Qin Yao, why are you talking to the county magistrate!"

He looked at Qin Yao's cannibalistic look and said sorry to Song Zhanglian, "The woman is stupid and can't speak. Don't be as knowledgeable as her."

Song Zhang looked good-tempered and waved his hand: "No problem, Mrs. Qin has a sweet temperament and doesn't stick to trivial matters. If she can talk to me so rudely, she should treat me as one of her own."

own people?

Qin Yao raised her eyes to look at the Jinshi Town House in the distance and snorted from her nose, "My lord, you are overthinking. I am just born with a bad temper. I always talk like this to everyone!"

Liu Ji can prove this, nodding wildly, she is indeed like this!

After nodding, he realized that he should help her explain. Wanting to make up for it, Song Zhang had already raised his hand to signal him to stop talking, annoying!

An official came over and asked Song Zhang to go back and take charge of the overall situation. Song Zhang waved his hand to signal him to step aside first, turned to Qin Yao, and asked seriously:

"The Japanese official will be inspecting the villages during the two days of harvesting wheat. At that time, I will go to Madam Qin's house to ask for a cup of tea. I wonder if Madam Qin will welcome you?"
