Chapter 100: Do as the Romans do

Yuan Baoer was surprised, but when he saw that he looked impatient, he packed up the chess box and continued reading with the book.

Zhang Mao didn't want to read books in the car, nor did he want to talk to mediocre people, so he lifted the curtain to see the scenery.

When Yuan Baoer turned the page, he raised his eyes and saw him looking at the car passing by.

She glanced over and saw the clan emblem hanging on the side of the car, her brows moved slightly.

That was the Gu family in Kezhou, but Kezhou was clearly in the west, so how could the car go east?

The thought flashed through my mind, and Yuan Baoer put it aside.

After all, this matter is not her business.

After two days like this, I finally entered the boundary of Hongyuan County.

Everyone went straight to the government office. As soon as they arrived, Zhang Mao couldn't wait to get off the car.

It was noon at this time, and the scorching sun was in the sky, and the yamen runners went to the room to rest in groups of three or three.

The main entrance of the government office is empty and there is no one in sight.

Zhang Mao stood there for a long time, but he didn't wait for the person. He couldn't help but yelled angrily: "Where is the person?"

The sound echoed over the government office, and no one came out for a long time.

Yuan Baoer got out of the car slowly, and saw that Zhang Mao's face turned red with anger, and pulled the corner of his mouth.

"Mr. Zhang, it's hot now, so it's better to go in first."

Zhang Mao turned his head and saw Yuan Baoer blocking the sun with his hands. He squinted his eyes and looked over. He pursed his lips and strided inside.

The two walked straight and entered the lobby without any cover.

Even Yuan Baoer, who was determined to help the yamen runners excuse him, couldn't help but curl her lips.

This is really too lazy. Even if you are lazy, you can stay a guardian.

Zhang Mao sat on the high seat, picked up the gavel in anger and slapped hard.

Yuan Baoer was glancing around, thinking about whether he could find someone to come over.

I suddenly heard the sound explode in my ears and was immediately startled.

Zhang Mao didn't expect that it would scare Yuan Baoer and he felt uncomfortable covering his sleeves and coughing dryly.

A burst of rapid footsteps came from the side, and several yamen run quickly to the front and immediately shouted when they saw the two.

"Where are the troublemakers coming from? You can't get out quickly."

As he said that, a few people rushed upwards.

Zhang Mao sneered, "Where is the county magistrate?"

The yamen runners were about to take action, but when they heard the question, they looked at his fearless attitude and had a vague premonition.

Zhang Mao took out a big seal and slapped it on the table.

The yamen runners looked at each other, and one of them plucked up the courage to take it over and looked at it, then quickly put it down, kneeled down and shouted at the sir.

Everyone knelt down quickly.

Zhang Mao stood up slowly, looked around for a while, and asked again: "Where is the county magistrate?"

The yamen runner kneeling in front said, "The old mother in County Chief Bu's family is sick. He is at home to take care of her and cannot escape for a while."

Zhang Mao sneered.

"However, it is important to pay homage to the adults, so I'll ask someone to call me."

As he said that, he quickly winked back.

Zhang Mao snorted and sat down slowly.

That official power is probably greater than that of his grandfather.

Yuan Baoer raised his eyebrows and signaled Zhang Dalang to follow the yamen runners who went out to find someone.

Not long after, the county magistrate rushed over.

Looking at Bu Xuewen who apologized for guilt, Zhang Mao looked extremely cold.

Yuan Baoer waited for a while, and Zhang Mao still had to put on airs, so he simply went out.

Zhang Dalang came over and said, "That family has a strong Chinese medicine smell, and there are indeed patients."

Yuan Baoer nodded and said, "There is no one else at home?"

Zhang Dalang shook his head.

Yuan Baoer’s job is to deal with the family here. She can’t understand how dark and cruel these people are.

She is an outsider and can't fight at all, so she must first find a local snake to help her.

The county magistrate is re-elected here three times, which is the best candidate.

Yuan Baoer called Cuixin and asked her to find some of the medicinal herbs she brought. When Bu Xuewen was released by Zhang Mao, Cuixin asked her to go out.

She went into the lobby and saw Zhang Mao going to the back hall, she said, "Mr. Zhang, I have asked someone to send your luggage to the back hall, so I will go to the guest house to settle it."

Zhang Mao paused, looked at Yuan Baoer, and nodded slightly.

Yuan Baoer smiled and walked out.

Zhang Dalang drove straight to the guest house, asked for a few rooms, and everyone settled them down.

The next morning, Yuan Baoer came to the government office.

Before entering the door, I saw a yamen runner with a deep face guarding the gate.

Yuan Baoer thought about it and handed over the official documents.

The yamen runner recognized Yuan Baoer and knew that she had some friendship with her own adults, so he wanted to invite her to go in with her.

Yuan Baoer shook her head and bowed, "Please help me report it."

The yamen runner's eyes rolled around and went into the lobby.

It took a while to ask someone.

Yuan Baoer bowed and followed him into the room.

Zhang Mao waited until Yuan Bao walked to the center of the lobby and bowed his hand to the court before putting down the official documents in his hand. "There is no one to prepare this government office for many days, and the official documents are piled up like a mountain. I am sorry for neglecting Lord Yuan."

Yuan Baoer smiled, "Public affairs are crucial, how could I blame them?"

Zhang Mao smiled, "I have already assigned your affairs to County Chief Bu, but his family has been inconvenient these days."

"If Lord Yuan is anxious, I'll take you there first?"

"I'm working hard," Yuan Baoer bowed.

Zhang Mao directly assigned the yamen runner who had just handed over the official documents and asked him to lead the way.

Yuan Baoer followed him out of the government office, and the runner said, "This place is surrounded by water on three sides, and the fields are only on the south side, but most of them are forests."

"It's okay to count on the land."

Yuan Baoer smiled, "How are these forests counted?"

"These are all bought by several big players here."

"How much does the government office occupy?"

The yamen runner shook his head.

"What about the good fields?"

The yamen runner thought for a while, "About two or three percent?"

They usually take charge of serving as a servant, and the county magistrate is worried about such things.

Yuan Baoer knew it and asked the yamen runners to take her to study divination.

When I arrived at the Bu family, there was indeed a strong smell of medicine.

When Bu Xuewen saw Yuan Baoer coming to the door, he was a little surprised, "Mr. Yuan."

He bowed to the ceremony.

Yuan Baoer smiled and signaled Cuixin to hand over the pastry she bought, and said, "I want to ask for advice on some things, but I don't know how convenient it is?"

"Nature," Bu Xuewen invited a few people in and let them on the stone bench in the yard.

"I'll ask if you have anything, but villains will tell you everything," Bu Xuewen was very grateful to Yuan Baoer's intention and said warmly.

"I want to know about the fields in the county, how much do you know?"

Bu Xuewen was silent for a while, "Do you dare to ask if this is the master or should you ask?"

"Of course it's me," Yuan Baoer said: "The county magistrate should know why I came here, why did he ask Lord Zhang?"

Bu Xuewen smiled and did not answer, "The weather is hot these two days, so it is not advisable to go to the fields to measure it."

"Fortunately, Hongyuan relies on water, and some of the products are not available elsewhere. Adults might as well take advantage of their spare time to walk around."

Yuan Baoer looked at him and bowed with a smile.

A burst of coughing came from the room.

Bu Xuewen couldn't sit still as soon as he heard this.

Yuan Baoer asked him to leave by himself.

Walking in the street market, Yuan Baoer wandered around the street market slowly.
