352 Good-looking
Zhang Zhan did not need to know the answer now. Seeing Village Chief Hu’s troubled expression, he waved his hand and said, “We’ll talk about this later. We can discuss it at length then.”
In any case, he would have to stay in Yongding County for at least three years. It might be a little difficult to use three years to change the entire county, but there might be a turning point?
If he was lucky enough to seize the opportunity and let the entire Yongding County rise to the next level, his colleagues who were sent to richer places would probably be shocked.
After confirming the matter of the general’s tomb, Zhang Zhan went to Village Chief Hu’s house for dinner at night.
Old Master Hu, Elder Ma, and the others were also present and were especially polite to Zhang Zhan.
No one would underestimate this young county magistrate.
After all, before he became the county magistrate, he was the Imperial Envoy who directly removed the previous county magistrate.
Ordinary people really would not have this kind of courage.
He ate at Village Chief Hu’s house, but he lived in Qin Huai’s house.
Chi Tu and the others naturally showed themselves.
Seeing them, Zhang Zhan found it funny. “That little demon is quite good to Ah Yu. He actually left all of you behind.”
The little demon did not even have many people he could use, but he was actually willing to leave so many men here.
In that case, wouldn’t he be even worse off in Wanning City?
Although the Duke Yong Manor did not like to interact with others, it did not mean that it was absolutely safe inside.
According to what Zhang Zhan knew, the little demon often suffered some grievances in the Duke Yong Manor.
It was as if someone was deliberately training him.
“Speaking of which, I haven’t seen him in a long time. He knows how to make use of me. The two kids send messages or things to each other every day. I haven’t seen him send anything to me,” Zhang Zhan complained.
Ever since he found out that he had come here to be a county magistrate, Qin Huai had always sent things to Zhang Zhan before asking him to send them out.
This way, they could hide the existence of Old man Wang’s family from the outside world.
Zhang Zhan asked, “Do you think I should ask your Young Master for some commision?”
Chi Tu lowered his head and did not say anything, pretending not to hear anything.
“All of them are like logs. They’re not even as interesting as that widow.” Thinking of the talkative Widow Zhou during the day, Zhang Zhan shook his head.
Stop, stop. Why was he thinking about a widow at night?
He had probably been single for too long and his mind had been possessed.
At the thought of the portraits of the ladies his mother had shown him before he took office, Zhang Zhan only wanted to shake his head.
Forget it, I won’t think about it anymore. I’ll go to sleep.
Little Ah Yu was not asleep yet.
“Elf, can you wear good-looking clothes after becoming an official?” Little Ah Yu asked.
[Huh? What good-looking clothes?]
“I’m talking about Uncle Zhang. The clothes Uncle Zhang is wearing are very good-looking. Father will definitely look good in them. Second Uncle wants to take the imperial examination and become an official in the future. Can he also wear good-looking clothes?”
Little Ah Yu had been thinking about this question for a long time.
[He’s not wearing an official uniform.]
Meatball was about to say that the official uniform was very different. It was tight and might not look good.
However, seeing Ah Yu’s yearning expression, it didn’t refute her.
[After becoming an official, there are many clothes that you can wear. For example, if your family doesn’t have an official now, you can’t wear silk. There are particular rules about cotton clothes too. Many patterns can’t be used.]
Meatball told Little Ah Yu about the clothes and etiquette of their Great Chang Nation.
At first, Little Ah Yu was still listening, but later, she began to doze off.
Before she fell asleep in a daze, she was still muttering, “Then I want to grow up quickly…”
Only when she grew up could she become an official. When she became an official, she could let her family wear good-looking clothes.
At this moment, thousands of miles away in Wanning City, Qin Huai was still awake.
Chi Jia held a bloody sword in his hand and pushed Qin Huai back with his other hand. “Young Master, leave quickly!”
