Ling Mengqing had heard from her elder brother long ago that she wanted to invite her good friend Mr. Yun and his wife from Jiangzhou City to play in Tongyuan County, and she had been looking forward to it for a long time. Now that they heard that someone was coming, she hurriedly made good tea that her elder brother was reluctant to drink and sent it to the flower hall go.

"Mengqing." Seeing Ling Mengqing walking in with tea, Yun Luochuan blurted out.

Shen Wan squinted at him, did he know this little girl?

As if feeling Shen Wan's gaze, Yun Luochuan quickly introduced: "Yi'er, this is Ling Mengqing, brother Ling's sister."

He once went to Ling's family for dinner, so he also knew Ling Yunzhi's parents, siblings.

After serving the tea, Ling Mengqing took the tray and said hello, "Hello, Mr. Yun, and the county lord."

The little girl secretly glanced at the gentle and dignified county master, her little heart was so excited that she finally saw the county master.

When she was in Jiangzhou, she had heard too many deeds of the county lord, and she felt that the county lord was very powerful, and she admired her very much.

Shen Wan nodded, "Ms. Mengqing is good."

Ling Mengqing: "..."

Ahhhh, the county lord is calling my name, the county lord is calling my name.

"Call me sister." Shen Wan looked at An An who was sitting on Yun Luochuan's lap and said.

An An looked at the big sister in front of her obediently and said, "Hello, sister."

"No, good, good..." The little girl was so nervous that she couldn't speak clearly, how could she be worthy of the county lord's son's elder sister.

She is obviously not used to her status as the county magistrate's younger sister.

"You just came to Tongyuan County with your brother?" Yun Luochuan held up the teacup and asked while looking at Ling Mengqing while feeding An An.

The latter nodded, "The life here is not as good as in Jiangzhou City, so my brother still let us stay at home. Parents are worried that my brother is out alone, and they are afraid that no one will take care of him, so they let me follow him to take care of him and the two of us." Year."

Two years later, when she was sixteen, she could go home and get married.

It's a good thing she came, otherwise it would be a problem for my brother to eat.

In the past, people in the county yamen used to cook their meals, but the cook was also the servant of the previous county magistrate. When the previous county magistrate left, he took the cook with him.

People in the county government had no place to eat, so they walked back to their homes to eat.

Mu Mu, the elder brother's former book boy, is now his elder brother's servant. He can boil water, sprinkle the sweeper, and serve tea and water to his elder brother, but he can't do the job of cooking and running the house well.

Yun Luochuan nodded and said: "He is in Tongyuan County alone, and there are many inconveniences, and you can take care of it."

The one who came to serve the tea was only Miss Mengqing, Brother Ling probably didn't even have a single servant girl in the yamen.

"Young master Yun, the county lord, please sit down and drink tea first, I still have some things to attend to." Meng Qing said.

"Okay, go get busy."

Meng Qing was blessed, and retreated out with the tray.

After leaving the flower hall, she ran all the way. There were guests at home, but she didn't even have decent dishes and snacks to entertain the guests. She had to go out and buy some.

Otherwise, if it was later, it would be too late to prepare a decent dinner table.

Meng Qing went back to her room, took out the purse hidden in the pillow, and took two strings of copper plates from the purse.

The money was saved by her doing embroidery work and helping others to sew clothes. When her brother came to Tongyuan County, he brought some money with him. When the money was used to buy rice, the elder brother took out the silver and paid the yamen servants and masters in the yamen, and there was not much left.

There is not a dime in the yamen's account, and the money that is spent in the yamen is all taken by the elder brother, who has no money.

Although her elder brother gave her a hundred cash for vegetables this month, she used it carefully, and now she still has dozens of cash left, but if she wants to use these few dozen cash to fix a table of good food, it is definitely not enough.

She could only use her private money.

Ling Mengqing took the money, and left the mansion through the back door with a vegetable basket on her shoulders.
