The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

   Chapter 221 222 The poor county magistrate wants to raise funds

   "Caidie (Caifeng) has seen the adults and the masters." After the two greeted everyone with delicate voices, Caifeng began to sing.

  Caifeng's singing is as gentle as a lark, and colorful butterflies dance like butterflies in the song. After a song is sung, most of them applaud.

  Xu Jinlong smiled at Zhou Jia: "Master Zhou, do you think the singing of the two girls, Caidie and Caifeng, is still in your mind?

   Everyone looked at Zhou Jia with a smile, Zhou Jia nodded and praised: "The two girls are really unique in singing and dancing."

   Caidie and Papilio both thank you: "Thank you for your compliment!"

  Xu Jinlong pointed at the two girls and said with a smile: "My lord, Brother Wu and I intend to redeem the two girls and send them to the adults to entertain and relieve boredom!"

   Zhou Jia cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Boss Xu and several bosses for their kindness. This official cannot afford to support the two girls because of his money."

Looking at Zhou Jia's handsome face, Cai Die shyly walked towards Zhou Jia, "Sir, we two sisters are very well-kept, and they are easy to eat, and it doesn't cost much money! Do you despise us, my lord? "

  Caidie walked to Zhou Jia's side and leaned towards him. Zhou Jia dodged and waved his hand: "This official salary is meager, and even I am supported by my wife! I don't mean to look down on the girl!"

  Caidie saw Zhou Jia dodged like a plague, covered her face with tears in her eyes, turned around and dragged Papilio to the inner hall.

  Yu Xianwei looked at Zhou Jiawei who was afraid to avoid it, and thought: Lord Zhou is probably a little scared!

Zhou Jia saw the Caidie sisters returning to the inner hall, and said apologetically to the few people: "This official has spoiled everyone's happiness, alas! It's just that this official's salary is meager, and I really can't support those two girls. A fine!"

  Xu Jinlong and several wealthy businessmen stood up and saluted: "Sir, it's just two dancers, it's their honor to be favored by the adults! Why don't the adults leave them to relax and relieve their boredom!"

Zhou Jia faced several people and began to cry poor, "Boss Xu, Boss Wu, you don't know, although Qingchuan is better than before, but compared to other counties, our Qingchuan is really poor, we have traveled all over Qingchuan. Qingchuan doesn't even have a private school, the children are all blind, and they don't even know a single big character, it's not good for Qingchuan in the long run!"

Zhou Jia sighed and continued: "After discussing with Master Yu and Envoy Tu Dian, we decided to rebuild a county school, just outside Dongcheng. Now half of the construction is done, and the county government has no money. Boss Liu, this official has a Please ask Boss Liu to agree."

  Xu Jinlong said in his heart: This Lord Zhou didn't seem to be here to drink, but to come to us to raise money.

  Xu Jinlong cupped his hands and said, "Sir, you can kill us, and if you have something to do, you can do it."

   Zhou Jia cupped his hands and said, "The bosses are telling the truth, I want to ask you to donate the money from the redemption of the two Meijis to build the county school, so that our Qingchuan students can also be named in the gold medal list in the future."

  Xu Jinlong and several wealthy businessmen heard this and thought to themselves: Your dignified magistrate, don't make Meiji cry to us to be poor, can we not donate? Several people stood up and cupped their hands: "Sir, we are willing to donate the money to build the county school."

   A total of 2,000 taels were needed to redeem the two dancers, and the bosses each donated 300 taels of silver, raising a total of 2,700 taels of silver.

   Zhou Jia bowed his hands and thanked: "This official and the students in Qingchuan County, I would like to thank several volunteers."

   Several wealthy businessmen bowed their hands in return and said, "Sir, this is what we should do, and it will be convenient for our descendants to study in the future!"

   Tu Dian Shi also agreed with a smile, "Yes! That's the truth!"

Zhou Jia asked Mr. Qian to take the bank note and write down his name, took out the 200 taels of silver note given by Li Yu and put it on the table, saying, "This is the private house money given by my wife when this official raised donations to run a school. Donate to build the county school."

   Yu Xianwei also said, "Sir, the madam of the lower official also donated 180 taels of silver."

Then Dianshi Tu and Mr. Qian also donated fifty taels of silver, and Zhou Jia said to several wealthy businessmen: "Boss Xu, Boss Wu, please rest assured, this official will ask Dianshi Tu to record every expense clearly. , so that everyone's donations can be put to good use."

   Everyone praised in unison: "Your Excellency is upright and honest, we Qingchuan people are blessed."

   Yu Xianwei raised his glass and said, "Let's toast the adults!"

   "Yes, a toast to the adults." The atmosphere of the banquet is getting better and better.

  Li Yu waited for a while, and seeing that Zhou Jia hadn't come back, he went back to his room and fell asleep. Zhou Jia returned home from Liu Jinlong's house and saw that Li Yu had already slept in the bathroom and washed himself. When he returned to the room, Li Yu opened his eyes in a daze and said with a smile, "You're back!"

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu's confused and naive look, leaned over and kissed Li Yu's cherry red lips, went to bed and put Li Yu in his arms, and said softly: "Well! Xu Jinlong and several wealthy businessmen donated a total of More than 2,000 taels, Yu Xian Wei also donated more than 100 taels, and even Mr. Tu and Mr. Qian donated more than 3,000 taels of silver, which is more than enough to buy and run schools."

  Li Yu snuggled in Zhou Jia's arms, whispering, "Xiao Xi, sleep! You're tired too!"

   "Yeah!" Zhou Jia kissed Li Yu's temple and thought to himself: It's been more than half a month since the March pregnancy period, and I have to ask Mr. tomorrow.

   Yu Xianwei returned home and told Mrs. Qin about Zhou Jia's rejection of Meiji, avoiding Caidie, and crying for donations at the Xu family dinner, and then smiled and said, "Madam, why do I feel that Zhou is a little intimidated!"

   Mrs. Qin looked at Yu Xianwei, and said in a meaningful way: "Master Zhou is just to keep your body clean! You think you are like some people! Pull all the fragrant and stinky things into the house, and you are not afraid of ruining the family!"

   Yu Xianwei remembered where his concubine came from, and said embarrassingly: "Madam, it's been so long, and the children are all grown up, you still won't forgive me!"

   Mrs. Qin rolled her eyes at the county magistrate, "I can warn you, ask her to take care of that girl, don't be shy, run to the county office at any time, if there is a joke, we can't afford to lose that person in the family!"

Yu Xianwei looked at Mrs. Qin with some displeasure, "Yan'er, she is also filial to me. She was afraid that I would be hungry, so she gave me some cakes, and by the way, they also gave some to Mrs. Zhou. Everyone is a colleague, how could there be trouble? Is it a joke?"

   Mrs. Qin glanced at Yu Xianwei, filial piety to you, only a blind person like you thinks so!

   "To deliver cakes, do you need a lady from her to deliver them in person? What does the maid do for food!"

   Mrs. Qin sighed in her heart when she saw Yu Xianwei's impatient look, "Anyway, as a first-mother, I have already said what I should say. If you make a joke, don't call me."

Yu Xianwei rubbed his forehead and endured his impatience: "Madam, don't worry, I'll tell Meiniang tomorrow, let her hold Yan'er, don't let her go out! You go to bed first, I've had a drink and I've got a headache, go and let her go. Aunt Yang, press me." After speaking, she turned around and left.
