MTL - After I was Exiled, I Became a Noble Minister-Chapter 259 259th
Tooth man was very embarrassed, he couldn't come back after calling a few times, he cursed a few words in his heart, bit his head and explained, "Miss Mu, this family is a serious family, and an official. Yes. 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 are direct sons?"
Tooth man shook his head slightly, "No, the head of the family treats all sons equally and fairly."
Mu Wanqing couldn't help laughing, "But, it's not fair to the eldest son."
Mu Wanqing looked around, this place is quite quiet, and all the officials live nearby, but the house is a bit outdated.
"Then, continue to watch? Or leave?"
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'm going to see the next one, please."
This beautiful face, this fairy-like bearing, ordinary 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 came running, "It's her."
The man who rushed over stared at her blankly, "Are you... 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 seen her ex-fiancé.
She looked very indifferent, "It turned out to be Mr. Cheng, it's a pleasure to meet."
She finally remembered why the housekeeper was familiar, the second housekeeper of the Cheng family who came after the divorce, and they meet everywhere in life.
Young Master Cheng couldn't calm down, his expression changed, "You are..."
"Buying a house." Mu Wanqing was concise and clear, without any intention to talk deeply, just an unrelated person.
There is no friendship at all.
"It turned out to be to buy a house." Cheng Gongzi's eyes darkened, not knowing 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.
"Ms. Mu, this house has five rooms and eight large yards, each with a different style... This is the main courtyard..."
Maybe because of the large population, the house was renovated, the garden was flattened, and small yards were formed.
Practicality, but no beauty.
After turning around in a circle, Mu Wanqing had a plan in her heart, "How much does this sell for?"
Tooth man glanced at the owner, "Twelve thousand taels of silver."
The price is too high, Mu Wanqing shook her head slightly, "Can I still get a discount?"
Tooth man looked at the owner, Cheng Gongzi pursed his lips, and said softly, "If you like it, the price can be negotiated."
Mu Wanqing was noncommittal, "Twenty-two, what do you think?"
Following the young woman behind her for a moment, "Huh? What?"
She just came over to get some 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 taken aback, "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 she doesn't have the money to say anything.
Mu Wanqing made a suggestion, "Buy with my sisters, separate the eight yards into independent small houses, and have a 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 more for them.
House and money are women's confidence.
Mu Twenty-two's eyes lit up, "This is a good idea, Patriarch, you are the smartest."
If eight people buy it together, it will be more than a thousand taels per person.
Master Cheng exclaimed, "Patriarch?"
Mu Twenty-two doesn't like this man very much.
"This is the patriarch of our Mu clan."
Master Cheng was stunned.
Mu Wanqing ignored him, but looked at Yaren, "Ten thousand taels." This is a relatively fair price.
Tooth man couldn't make up his mind either, so he took Cheng Gongzi to the side, and after a long discussion, he walked back, "Okay, but I want to settle it immediately."
Mu Wanqing agreed, "I can go through the formalities today."
Mu Wanqing took out 10,000 taels of silver and handed it to Mu Twenty-two, and nothing else.
Mu Twenty-two is very capable, 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 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.
"Well, the marriage certificate has been changed for twenty taels, I think it's worth it." Mu Wanqing has never thought about this marriage contract, and she has no regrets at all, okay? "It's the best outcome for everyone to be safe."
She thought about it for a while, "Reassure your family that when the two were cleared, there were no old grievances, and of course I won't take revenge."
Young Master Cheng 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 and jade.
At first she chased the past and broke off the marriage.
The parents were annoyed and regretful, and the elders in the family complained every day that if they didn’t break off the marriage, the Cheng family would be able to catch up 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 is a hint of remorse in his heart.
It turns out that the head of Qingping County is such a stunning and talented person, with a temperament like an orchid, a beautiful appearance, and exudes the grace of a superior.
A strange woman with a combination of looks and talents, I will never forget her style in my life.
The second housekeeper came out of the dark and asked tremblingly, "Fourth Young Master, what did she say?"
He had a psychological shadow from Mu Wanqing's torment, and he was scared when he saw her, so he ran away immediately.
He still remembers 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.
Young Master Cheng sighed softly, "She said, she has no old grudges, no need to be afraid."
Worthy of being the head of Qingping County praised by the previous emperors, he has a broad mind and an extraordinary bearing.
The things that the Cheng family worries about day and night are not taken into account at all.
At the same time of relaxation, there is a touch of sadness.
The second manager let out a long sigh, "That's good, hey, I should have said this earlier, the master will not resign."
Master Cheng has been struggling in the fifth-rank position for years, but from the moment he knew that the Qingping County Lord had returned to the capital, he resigned from his official position in fear and wanted to return to his hometown for refuge.
Yes, take refuge, everyone thinks that the Qingping County Lord will take revenge on the treacherous Cheng family.
Young Master Cheng is a scholar, and he failed the test several times in a row.
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 noble people 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 buys a house in a well-behaved way, without robbing her, without deliberately making things difficult, or even revealing her identity, she is 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!
Second Steward's heart that was hanging in the air finally landed, "Also, who is the head of Qingping County, a high-ranking second-rank official in the DPRK, what are we?"
Mu Wanqing walked out of the Cheng family mansion, and left the family behind, forgetting it.
She is busy teaching low-level officials about the idea of canned food and how to use local specialties to drive people out of poverty in remote areas.
Her ideas opened up a whole new world for these people.
It is a pity that many native products are rotten in the ground and cannot be shipped out..."
"It's hard to get rich just by hard work, you have to rely on wisdom and technology."
"Economic development and people's livelihood complement each other. Don't say that money is not noble enough. Without material wealth, everything is empty talk."
…
She vigorously brainwashed and taught these officials who were too embarrassed to talk about money to teach a lesson.
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 put 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 upper echelons most afraid of? There are policies above and countermeasures below.
Sometimes the policy is good, but the following does not cooperate, increasing the code layer by layer, 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 did not 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, Mu Wanqing cupped her hands and asked, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Not only the emperor is here, but several cabinets are here, and they have been listening 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 a summary of thousands of years of experience, can you?
The emperor interacted with the officials and chatted a few times. His kind 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 Lord, do you want to buy a house?"
Mu Wanqing looked very magnanimous, "Yes, I want to buy a house for my parents and family to live in."
The emperor glanced at the chief chamberlain beside him, "Take it."
Mu Wanqing took it from the head of the housekeeper, and it was a house deed, "This is the ancestral house 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 corner of Mu Wanqing's mouth raised slightly.
She has no obsession with the ancestral house, and she did not visit it after returning to the capital.
But 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."
Secondary assistant is so angry, just say it, why do you look at me?
It was intentional!
He was moved, "Qingping County Lord, Du Shuai is going back to Beijing, why didn't you tell us in advance?"
"What?" Mu Wanqing was very surprised, how could she be so good? Couldn't be something wrong?
