Chapter 654: The County Magistrate Is the Most Powerful Official Above the Common People

It is said that seeing is believing. This is true. Her master once teased Mr. Bai, saying that he had a beautiful wife and was so drunk that he didn't want to leave.

She thought that Mr. Bai's wife must be a fairy-like figure. Unexpectedly, when she saw her today, she looked good, but she was not delicate.

When this thought came to her mind, Zhang Yiren couldn't help laughing. Mr. Bai had passed away, and even the most delicate woman had to shoulder the heavy responsibility and carry the family.

A mistress of the house, a group of children, how can a mother be weak except strong?

I heard that after Mr. Bai passed away, the Bai family also encountered a major change. People will change in difficult situations.

While thinking, Bai Yunxi led everyone into the side hall and let Zhang Yiren take the first seat. Just as he was about to greet her formally, Zhang Yiren held his arm.

"Yunxi, you don't have to be polite to me. You are Xiaowu's mother. Just because he wants to call me his master's wife in the future, we will call each other sisters and there is no need to be polite in the future."

Everyone looked at Bai Yunxi in surprise when they heard Zhang Yiren's tone, especially Meng, who immediately regained her composure after being surprised.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. I didn't expect that An Sheng's luck was so good that he won the favor of the dean as soon as he came out.

From then on, the child will definitely be on the rise and have a bright future.

Thinking of this, Meng walked forward with a smile and bowed, "Zhang Yiren, it's been a long time since we last met. Do you still remember me?"

Although their identities are very different, they can occasionally meet at other people's banquets.

Seeing Meng, Zhang Yiren directly helped her up and gave her a glare.

"Why don't you remember? It's been three or four years since we last met, and you are still so humble."

"I'm sorry to make you laugh. In front of you, etiquette cannot be abolished."

Mrs. Meng smiled slightly. In recent years, her husband has become less and less willing to move, and she has not attended banquets for several years.

"You are still the same. I have said long ago that my master is just an official in name only." Zhang Yiren looked at her helplessly and explained softly.

"That's the honorable position given by the court to the Confucian scholars. Others want it but don't have it yet."

Mrs. Meng said, and then called her daughter to greet her.

"I've been lazy this year and rarely take my daughter out. Huijie has been staying at home practicing needlework and is reserved when meeting people."

"It's okay for a girl. We are not like those guys who have to travel from time to time. Only by being knowledgeable and experienced can we make friends."

Zhang Yiren took Chang Hui's hand and patted her gently.

"When you are free in the future, come to visit your aunt's house and do needlework with Shanjie. It's just the right time to temper the temper of my naughty monkey. I gave birth to a daughter, but always feels like she has raised a boy.

As soon as this was said, everyone couldn't help laughing. Zhang Yishan next to him didn't care either. She was probably numb to it after being talked about too much.

They entered the yard, drank tea, rested their feet and chatted, but the number of people watching the excitement at the door increased.

In the past, their village had never seen such a noble person. Look at his carriage, his clothes, and the servants serving him. He looked very impressive.

"Oh my God, the Bai family knows a lot of noble people. Look at his clothes, especially the one in red, so smooth and beautiful."

"Isn't it? And that decent lady, I heard she has a great background. Tsk tsk... The Bai family is going to turn around."

"Puff~, they have turned around a long time ago, right? Otherwise, they can live in a big yard? Now the son is a scholar, this is a great event that brings glory to the family. In the future, the Bai family will not only be exempt from taxes and labor service, but also know so many nobles. In the future, we can only watch from afar. "

"After all, it is better to study..."

Although there were many people watching the excitement at the door, no one dared to make trouble. Everyone looked at the door of the Bai family, and envied it, but also had a little fear.

No matter what the villagers said, the laughter and joy of the Bai family never stopped.

In addition to chatting with the female family members, Bai Yunxi was also worried about the banquet. Whether it was a girl or a daughter-in-law, she assigned work.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Bai Yunxi said hello to the second child, and went directly to the kitchen to tell Zhang that the banquet was ready.

"We are all ready, and we guarantee that there will be no problems."

Zhang held the spoon, looked out, and carefully approached Bai Yunxi, and pursed her lips,

"Is the man in red really the eldest son of the county magistrate's family? ”

Just now, she saw Jie and that person talking in the yard, and she accidentally overheard them. She was so scared that her heart was pounding. If she wasn’t worried about causing trouble for her son, she would have called her son to ask him in detail.

Looking at Zhang’s cautious eyes, Bai Yunxi nodded,

“Yes, it’s him. Although the man is dressed a little ostentatiously, he is actually a good person and a good student. Your Jie is his classmate and they are very familiar with each other.”

“Oh my God, he is really the son of the county lord. If it were normal times, we would never see such a person even if we tiptoed. Today, he is really Xiaowu’s honor. Anyway, this is the first time I have seen such a high-ranking person in my life. "

Zhang tutted her tongue and poked her head out again, she was so excited. Why didn't that rascal Jie Ge'er tell her about this?

In addition to her, the people helping in the kitchen were very excited, but also a little apprehensive.

Bai Yunxi was helpless about this, the fear of the government among ordinary people was deep in their bones and could not be changed.

"In fact, the person with the highest status today is Dean Zhang. Although he holds a nominal position, he is also a fifth-rank official, and he is also a great scholar."

Hanlin Bachelor, that is the place that scholars all over the world yearn for the most...Jian is in the emperor's heart.

Hanlin is the place where the court's prime ministers are stored, and only Hanlin can enter the cabinet.

This is why Dean Zhang is still idle at the fifth rank even if he resigns.

And Xie Yu is just because of his father. The county magistrate is the highest official above the common people, and everyone is more sensitive.

"But I still think the county magistrate is powerful, don't you think?"

Zhang took the spoon and turned to look at the several clansmen who helped.

Sure enough, several people nodded like pounding garlic.

Bai Yunxi: "..."

That's right, other officials have nothing to do with the common people.

"Okay, get ready to start the meal."

"Okay,"

The male guests are set up in the main hall. In addition to the visiting guests, there are also the elders of the clan who accompany them. Three tables are set up.

There were also three tables for the female guests. Some of the friendly families in the village also sent gifts. Before the banquet started, Bai Yunxi specifically asked Li to invite them one by one, but when they learned that the guests at home were not ordinary, they refused to enter the yard to eat.

Bai Yunxi had no choice but to wait until the banquet was over and give gifts in return.

In fact, she knew what the villagers were worried about. They worked hard every day, and they didn't want to get involved in any trouble except for their hunger.
