Chapter 259
Mu Wanqing stared blankly at the second housekeeper who fled wildly. Could this person be seriously ill?
The tooth man was very embarrassed, and he couldn't come back after calling a few times. He cursed inwardly, and explained bravely, "Miss Mu, this family is a serious family, and an official. The house is handed down from the ancestors. , but I have six sons under my knees, and I want to change six small houses."
Mu Wanqing was a little surprised, "All six of them are direct sons?"
Yaren shook his head slightly, "No, the owner treats all sons equally and fairly."
Mu Wanqing couldn't help laughing, "But, it's not fair to the eldest son."
According to the current rules, the elders account for 70%, and the other sons and daughters share 30% equally.
"Every family has a hard-to-recite scripture." Tooth man can't say much about other people's privacy, but he has a toothache expression.
Mu Wanqing looked around, the place was quite quiet, all officials lived nearby, but the house was a bit outdated.
"Then, continue to watch? Or leave?"
The tooth man felt bitter in his heart, he didn't want the nobles to think that he was unreliable. "I've arranged three houses, and then I'll go to the next one, please."
Although the noble person in front of her only said her surname was Mu and dressed in a plain and low-key dress, her elegant and calm temperament could not deceive anyone.
With such a beautiful face and such a celestial bearing, most people can't raise such a girl.
Not to mention, she was accompanied by several guards.
As soon as the two turned around, a few hurried footsteps rushed in, "It's her."
Mu Wanqing turned around and looked back, a strand of hair was blown by the breeze, and her splendid face was like a freeze, which made people look straight.
The man who rushed over looked at her blankly, "You are... Miss Mu Family?"
Mu Wanqing looked at the unfamiliar man in front of her. She was pure and pure, but her eyes were floating, with a guilty conscience.
She raised her eyebrows, "Have we not met?"
The man said dryly, "My surname is Cheng, Cheng Silang."
As soon as the name came out, Mu Wanqing finally realized that she had never met her ex-fiancé.
She looked extremely indifferent, "It turned out to be Young Master Cheng. It's a pleasure to meet you."
She finally remembered why the housekeeper was familiar. The second housekeeper of the Cheng family, who had chased after the divorce, met everywhere in life.
Cheng Gongzi couldn't calm down, his expression changed, "You are..."
"Buying a house." Mu Wanqing was succinct and concise, with no intention of talking deeply, just an unrelated person.
There was no friendship at all.
"It turned out to be to buy a house." Cheng Gongzi's eyes dimmed, whether it was disappointment or regret. "Then come in and see."
Mu Wanqing actually didn't want to buy it anymore, but she didn't want to leave like this, so she walked in with her head bowed slightly.
As the master, Young Master Cheng didn't speak, and the housekeeper shrank aside and wished everyone would forget him. The tooth man was full of doubts, but he couldn't ask more questions.
"Miss Mu, this house has five rooms and has eight large yards, each with a different style... This is the main courtyard..."
Probably because of the large population, the house was renovated, the garden was flattened, and small yards were formed.
Practical, but no beauty to speak of.
After turning around in a circle, Mu Wanqing had a plan in her heart, "How much does this sell for?"
Yaren glanced at the owner, "Twelve thousand taels of silver."
The price is too high, Mu Wanqing shook her head slightly, "Can you still get a discount?"
Looking at the owner of the house, Young Master Cheng pursed his lips and said softly, "If you like it, you can let the price go."
Mu Wanqing was noncommittal, "Twenty-two, what do you think?"
The young woman behind her froze for a moment, "Ah? What?"
She just came over to get a wave of experience points.
Mu Wanqing didn't want to buy it, but the people around her could do it. "Although this house is a bit old, it can be repaired. The small yards are well decorated. You can buy them."
Mu Twenty-two was startled, "How can I have so much money?"
How dare she expect such a good house?
This is located at the junction of the inner city and the outer city, not far from the food court, officials live next door, the law and order is very good, this location is quite good.
She likes it very much, but if she doesn't have the money, everything is just a cloud.
Mu Wanqing made a suggestion, "Buy with my sisters, separate the eight yards into a small independent house, and have a mutual care for each other. If the money is not enough, I will lend it to you first."
These girls are very capable, and following her all the way to the capital, she naturally has to plan a little bit more for them.
House and money are the foundation of a woman.
Mu Twenty-two's eyes lit up, "That's a good idea, Patriarch, you are the smartest."
If eight people buy it together, it will only be more than a thousand taels on each person's head.
Cheng Gongzi exclaimed, "Patriarch?"
Mu Twenty-two didn't like this man very much. He always peeked at the patriarch, just look at it, and he also showed a sad color, which was really annoying.
"This is the patriarch of our Mu clan."
Cheng Gongzi was stunned.
Mu Wanqing ignored him, but looked at Yaren, "Ten thousand taels." This is a relatively fair price.
Yaren couldn't be the master either, so he took Cheng Gongzi to the side, and after a long discussion, he came back, "Okay, but I want to settle it right away."
Mu Wanqing agreed immediately, "I can go through the formalities today."
Mu Wanqing took out 10,000 taels of silver bills and handed them to Mu Twenty-two, and she didn't care about the rest.
Mu Twenty-two is very capable, and she doesn't need to worry about the transfer procedures.
Mu Wanqing raised her watch and glanced at it, "Then I'll take a step first."
She turned around and walked out, Cheng Gongzi gritted his teeth and followed, "Miss Mu."
"What's the matter?" A trace of impatience flashed in Mu Wanqing's eyes.
"I..." Cheng Gongzi's face flushed, "Actually, it's not my wish to break off the marriage, I'm very sorry."
"Well, the marriage contract has been changed for 22 taels, I think it's worth it." Mu Wanqing had never thought about this marriage contract, and had no regrets at all, did she? "It's the best outcome for everyone to be safe."
She thought for a while, "Let your family rest assured. When the two were cleared, there were no old grudges. Naturally, I won't take revenge."
Cheng Gongzi bowed deeply, "Thank you Miss Mu."
When he straightened up, Mu Wanqing had drifted away, leaving behind a man with a disappointed face.
I don't know how many people laugh at their Cheng family's eyesight and ignorance of gold inlaid jade.
At the beginning, they chased the past to break off the marriage, but now they have made fortune step by step, and they have become a noble person who cannot be climbed.
The parents were annoyed and regretful, and the elders in the family complained every day that if the marriage hadn’t been broken off, the Cheng family would have been able to fly into the sky with the county head of Qingping.
He doesn't regret it, he married his cousin, a docile little wife, lovely children, everything is complete.
But now, there was a hint of remorse in his heart.
It turned out that the head of Qingping County was such a stunning and talented person, with a temperament like orchid, a charming appearance, and exuding the graceful atmosphere of a superior.
A strange woman with a combination of appearance and talent, will never forget her style in life.
The second housekeeper came out of the dark and asked tremblingly, "Fourth Young Master, what did she say?"
He had been tormented by Mu Wanqing and had a psychological shadow, and when he saw her, he was afraid, so he ran away immediately.
He still remembered the scene where he was stripped of his clothes and walked back barefoot. At that time, Mu Wanqing, who had not yet grown up, was a ruthless character.
Cheng Gongzi sighed softly, "She said that she has no old grudges and no need to be afraid."
As expected of the Qingping county magistrate praised by the previous emperors, he has a broad mind and an extraordinary bearing.
The things that the Cheng family worried about day and night were not taken into account at all.
At the same time of relaxation, there is a touch of sadness.
The second steward let out a long sigh, "That's good, hey, I should have said this earlier, and the master will not resign."
The Cheng family master has been struggling in the fifth-rank position all these years, but from the moment he knew that the Qingping County Lord had returned to the capital, he was afraid to resign from the official position and wanted to return to his hometown for refuge.
Yes, take refuge, everyone thinks that the Qingping County Lord will take revenge on the Cheng family who treacherous.
Cheng Gongzi is a scholar, and he failed the test several times in a row. He is still a leader.
He usually helps the family with some household chores, "Father should rest too."
The second housekeeper still has lingering fears, "Let's not worry too early, the nobles in high places like to say one thing and do another."
"No, she doesn't remember the Cheng family for a long time." Master Cheng remembered those indifferent eyes, and smiled bitterly, "Don't worry, she is not a bully."
She bought a house in a well-behaved manner, did not steal, did not deliberately make things difficult, did not even reveal her identity, and was extremely low-key.
Whenever she showed a trace of greed, he would give up the house without hesitation, just for the safety of his family.
But she didn't!
The second housekeeper's heart that was hanging in the air finally came to the ground, "Also, who is the head of Qingping County, a high-ranking second-rank official in the DPRK, what are we?"
When Mu Wanqing walked out of the Cheng family mansion, she left the family behind and forgot all about it.
She was busy teaching low-level officials about the idea of canned food and how to use native products to drive people out of poverty in remote areas.
Her concept opened up a whole new world to these people.
"If you want to get rich, build roads first." Mu Wanqing wrote these six characters on the blackboard, "This is the most critical part of poverty alleviation. Since ancient times, the lack of roads has greatly restricted economic development, and many local products are rotten. It's a pity that it can't be transported out of the ground..."
"It's hard to get rich just by hard work, it has to rely on wisdom and technology."
"Economic development and people's livelihood complement each other. Let alone talking about money, it is not noble enough. Without material wealth, everything is empty talk."
...
She vigorously brainwashed and taught a lesson to these officials who were too embarrassed to talk about money.
These officials will be dispatched to various county offices to help the poor one-on-one.
She is a hand-to-hand teacher, and can't wait to stuff all the relevant knowledge into their minds.
Of course, thought remolding is the key.
What she wants is a group of capable officials who have ideas and ambitions.
What are the tops most afraid of? There are policies above and countermeasures below.
Sometimes the policy is good, but the following does not cooperate, adding weights at every level, and even using chicken feathers as tokens to toss the people.
She also has to formulate a corresponding supervision and management system.
After the class, Mu Wanqing packed her things and didn't rush to leave, but explained the confusion to the officials who came to ask for advice.
A voice sounded, "I have seen the emperor."
Everyone saluted in unison, and Mu Wanqing cupped her hands and asked, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Not only the emperor came, but several cabinets came, and they all listened to it for a long time.
"I heard that you are training, come and listen, some of your words are very reasonable."
Mu Wanqing smiled slightly, that is the summary of thousands of years of experience, can you?
The emperor interacted with the officials and chatted a few times. His cordial attitude made the officials excited.
Mu Wanqing couldn't help laughing when she saw it.
Mu Wanqing slowly followed behind the emperor, looking left and right, quite leisurely.
The emperor who was talking to the first assistant suddenly turned his head, "Qingping county magistrate, do you want to buy a house?"
Mu Wanqing's expression was very magnanimous, "Yes, I want to buy a house for my parents and family to live in."
The emperor glanced at the chief servant beside him, "Take it."
Mu Wanqing took it from the head of the housekeeper. It was a house deed, "Is this the ancestral residence of Mu Mansion?"
"Yes, your former home belongs to you now." The emperor was very generous, "The first emperor has been pressing down on this house. He didn't allocate it, but kept it for you."
These words sounded nice, and the corners of Mu Wanqing's mouth raised slightly.
She had no obsession with the ancestral house, and she did not visit it after returning to the capital.
But my father should be very happy.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I gave the money, and I bought it." Mu Wanqing glanced at Ci Fu, "I'm afraid that some people will be envious and jealous, and get pink eye disease."
The second assistant is so angry, you can say it, why do you want to see me?
Ah is on purpose!
His heart moved, "Qingping County Lord, Du Shuai is going back to Beijing, why didn't you tell us in advance?"
"What?" Mu Wanqing was extremely surprised, how could she be so good?Couldn't be something wrong?
