There are mountains, rivers, and wolf kings

Chapter 221 Madam Prefect
It was a refreshing autumn, and all the girls were excited when they saw that they could go boating to enjoy the lotus.

Those ladies were fine, after all, they were older and more stable, they just looked at the boat with longing in their eyes, those ladies were not so reserved, and they were eager to go up one by one.

Since the boat is prepared, it is natural for everyone to play.

Lin Qingge arranged two servants who could swim for each small boat, and then let those who wanted to go boating get on the boat one by one, and immediately more than half of the people in the water diversion booth went.

Although Lin Qingge used to come here often, because it was the host's house, he planned to stay and greet the guests, but Madam Lin, the magistrate's wife, said with a smile: "You should go with those children, we are not outsiders, we are here to chat .”

This Mrs. Lin's status is not low, she is Lin Huayao, the lord of the Yonghe County in the eighth prince's mansion. In terms of seniority, she is Lin Qingge's aunt.

The name of the magistrate is Liu Ming. At that time, Mrs. Lin, who was still the owner of Yonghe County, brought her servants to Tongcheng to play. When she met a hooligan in the street and molested her, everyone on the road shunned. Originally, Lin Huayao could have revealed her identity to scare off the villains, but seeing the thin but steadfast man standing in front of her desperately, Lin Huayao did not reveal her identity in the end.

That time, Liu Ming was beaten half to death, and he lay on the bed for a month before recovering.

And a month later, an imperial decree came down, recruiting him as a county horse.

These are not enough to make the two of them a good story. What's more, Liu Ming is determined to be an official through the imperial examination, while the county horse cannot become an official. Moreover, in his heart, saving Lin Huayao is only out of his own heart, and there is no other crookedness. read, so he refused.

This move shocked the entire Great Zhou Dynasty. This was the first person to refuse the emperor's favor since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

At that time, some people in the court quit, thinking that this was a slap in the face of the emperor.

Just when everyone was discussing how to execute Liu Ming, Lin Huayao stood up and declared her will by death, asking the emperor to issue another decree to demote her to a commoner.

In this case, if Liu Ming marries her, he can become an official, but she is doomed to be just a grassroots person in the future.

Liu Ming also never thought that Lin Huayao would treat him so sincerely. When Lin Huayao stood in his dilapidated home holding the imperial decree, he secretly swore that he must rely on his own strength to let this woman live a good life.

And he has indeed done it. Although he is only a magistrate now, he has indeed made it by himself step by step. It is already very good for a poor boy with no background to be a fourth-rank magistrate.

Although Lin Huayao had severed ties with the royal family, Lin Qingge respected her very much, and replied, "Then Mrs. Laurin will help take care of this madam."

Then he said to Li Haitang at the side: "Haitang, will you go down with me to play?"

Before Li Haitang could speak, Mrs. Lin said again: "Let Miss Li stay with me, after all, she is the master, and it is much more convenient to have Miss Li here."

Lin Qingge nodded, glanced at Li Haitang apologetically, and then boarded the boat.

Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "Miss Li, come and sit beside me."

All eyes were on Li Haitang at once.

Ladies and ladies here, in terms of status, any one of them is more than twice as good as Li Haitang, but Mrs. Lin let Li Haitang sit beside her, which made everyone a little jealous.

Not to mention Mrs. Lin's previous identity, she is now the wife of the top leader in Tongcheng. No matter how many people try to curry favor with her, Li Haitang caught her eye just the first time she saw her.

Li Haitang gave Madam Lin a blessing, and then obediently sat on Madam Lin's lower head.

Mrs. Lin looked at Li Haitang and said with a smile: "I heard about your name as the owner of Haitang Garden a few years ago, but I only saw you today. You really are beautiful, intelligent, unparalleled, and you can do it at a young age." It’s really not easy, so come and sit with me when you have time in the future.”

The two had just met, so they couldn't tell that she was beautiful and intelligent. Knowing that she was just being polite, they also showed a shy face, and lowered their heads and replied: "Madam is very good, I will definitely go to visit."

Seeing her lowering her head, Mrs. Lin thought that she couldn't let go, so she didn't continue this topic anymore. She looked up at a shelf in the pavilion, and asked curiously: "What is on that shelf?"

Seeing her asking this, Li Haitang raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

When Lin Qingge decided to hold a banquet to help Li Haitang promote fruit wine, he decided to introduce fruit wine directly to everyone, but Li Haitang refused.

In the end, under Lin Qingge's weird gaze, Li Haitang put on airs in many places.

This kind of shelf is actually like a modern display cabinet, and Li Haitang is just taking advantage of people's curiosity.

In this kind of banquet, who would put such a fragile thing outside?What's more, it is placed in several places, and everyone will naturally ask what it is. As long as there is curiosity, there will be concentration, and people will be interested in this thing.

This is much better than what you put in front of her.

Let the maid take the wine off the shelf, and Li Haitang personally poured a glass of orange wine for Mrs. Lin. The reason why she chose orange wine was because Li Haitang had worked hard before and knew that Mrs. Lin's favorite fruit was oranges. .

As soon as it was poured out, a strong aroma of wine wafted out, and there was some disdain on everyone's faces.

I felt a little gloating in my heart, everyone knew that this Mrs. Lin didn't like to drink, and this girl could be regarded as being flattered by a horse's hoof this time.

After Madam Lin smelled that it was wine, her face was indeed a little unhappy, but what followed was a scent of oranges, which hit her nostrils, making Madam Lin's eyes brighten.

"Miss Li, why does your wine still smell like oranges?"

When everyone heard this, they were startled at first, and then moved closer involuntarily. Although most people dare not stand too close because of Mrs. Lin's relationship, because the fragrance of oranges is stronger, everyone can indeed smell it. fragrance.

Seeing that everyone was surprised, Li Haitang brought the wine to Mrs. Lin, and said with a smile: "This wine is light, why don't you try it, Madam?"

The wines of this dynasty are basically white wine, rice wine and the like, and the alcohol content is also high. This is why women don’t like to drink alcohol. Although the wine tastes better, the production is limited after all, and the promotion is not satisfactory. Up to now It is only sold in Yun's restaurant, but there are very few people who buy it home.
