Chapter 269: Chapter 268: Oh! Lord Su, You Really Have Great Authority_1

"The County Magistrate did this for two reasons."

Hwa Diexiang saw through their minds and explained with a smile, "The first reason, the County Magistrate accidentally met you at the Market Fair, where he saw Scholar Qin dealing with Inspector Liu. He was impressed by your demeanor: neither servile nor arrogant, polite, well-spoken, full of the intellectual integrity of a scholar."

Hua County Official took a sip of the refreshment and continued, "After that encounter, he somewhat regretted not getting to know Scholar Qin directly. When he saw you again at the county government office, he was pleasantly surprised and specially asked me to assess your literacy skills. The result greatly satisfied him, leading to this action."

So, there were underlying reasons for this.

Qin Yi thoughtfully kept silent.

Su Pan’er sat quietly on the side, as if she did not exist at all.

"The position is small for now, but the County Magistrate has carefully selected it for you. It is indeed a position of upward mobility. The only thing might be that it will require you to stay in this small place for a few more years."

Hua County Official reassured him, "However, the County Magistrate also said that as soon as the situation in the Capital City eases somewhat, he will immediately recommend Scholar Qin again."

"The County Magistrate is joking, how could Qin Yi, who was born here in Yongze County, despise his birthplace for being small?"

Qin Yi replied and turned to look at Su Pan’er.

Su Pan’er was downcast as if she was asleep.

Hua County Official’s gaze shifted between the two, how could he not see Qin Yi’s agitation?

He soon burst into laughter, "This is by no means a trivial matter. Scholar Qin, why don’t you take a few more days to consider? If Scholar Qin agrees, you can immediately take up the position. I will be here in the county waiting for your arrival!"

"Thank you for your understanding, County Official Hua."

Qin Yi quickly thanked him and sincerely invited him, "Speaking of which, it seems this is Hua County Official’s first visit here. How about Hua County Official takes a short rest and tries our country cooking. Later we can have a few drinks at midday?"

"Had I been asked by Mr. Qin, I was originally not supposed to decline."

Hwa Diexiang made a bitter smile, "However, I should also ask the little master who is accompanying me!"

Sassy youngster?

Qin Yi and Su Pan’er looked at each other and saw surprise in each other’s eyes.

"This sassy youngster is the younger sister of County Magistrate Jun, whom Scholar Qin met last time."

Hwa Diexiang looked somewhat strange, "She was originally coming with me earlier, but when we reached the entrance of the village, she was attracted by a group of fishermen catching fish. I had to let my attendants accompany her while I came directly to your house. I presume she’s still playing by the river at this point!"

Thinking of Jun Ruoxue’s playful face, Hwa Diexiang got a headache.

"That’s not a problem."

Su Pan’er who had been silent all this time finally spoke, "If the person who came with you is a young lady, it’s best for me to go find her. You guys can have a few drinks first, the meals will be ready soon."

Su Pan’er seemed to understand the concern of Hwa Diexiang.

The brattish sister of the new superior comes from the Capital City, she must be either insolent or arrogant. Otherwise, Hwa County Official wouldn’t have expressed such hesitation.

But that’s alright.

In her past life, she often encountered various types of people when she was on assignments.

To coax a spoiled young lady was something she had never tried before. Considering the current circumstances, she decided to take it head on.

But today’s event was interesting, Hua County Official and Su Sikong took turns to invite this bookish man to be an official.

Thinking of how Su Sikong was left fuming by Qin Yi, Su Pan’er couldn’t help but smile from ear to ear.

As Su Sikong hobbled around the corner, he looked down at his still bleeding toe and couldn’t help but curse.

While he was hopping up and down, cursing non-stop, suddenly laughter sounded from the side.

"Oh! Lord Su indeed has great authority."

Su Sikong was taken aback.

Immediately outraged, he shouted: "Who is it? Who is exposing my shortcomings? Show yourself!"

While he was looking around, a sneering voice suddenly came from above: "Oh! Su Sikong, Deputy County Magistrate Lord Su, who are you showing off to? Who do you want to beg you while crying and crawling on the ground?"

That voice...

Su Sikong abruptly froze on the spot, daring not move, his body soaked in cold sweat, his legs shaking!

"You, how are you here?"

Su Sikong looked up and saw a mischievous face poking out from the dense bushes.

His eyes came out of their sockets!

When he saw who it was, how could he possibly hold himself together?

Ignorant of the pain in his foot, he pretended not to see and turned to sneak away.

"Lord Su, if you leave like this today, I can’t guarantee that tomorrow you will still have the official hat on your head!"

Su Sikong instantly turned pale, unable to move his feet any further.

Since this lady arrived in Yongze County nearly two months ago, from the county magistrate, county magistrate registrar, chief clerk, to the clerks, government employees, to the Night Incenses, not one has not been pranked by her!

Based on his past experiences, what she said was definitely more accurate than what the County Magistrate had said!

Now that she has said that he couldn’t find his official hat, he dared not take the gamble!

He couldn’t afford to lose either!

"You, you, you..."

Su Sikong was trembling so hard he pointed at her but couldn’t speak.

"You, you, you, you’ve been you-ing for a long time, just spit it out. It’s really boring."

Jun Ruoxue jumped down from the tree skillfully, then looked at him while tilting her head, puckered up her cute mouth, stressing her nose a bit: I said Lord Su, where have you rolled from? Did you fall into a stable or what? Why are you covered in hay? It shouldn’t be like that!"

She kept on chattering and seemed very puzzled about it.

Su Sikong’s face turned beet red in an instant.

Then he remembered that Jun Ruoxue grew up in the Capital City, and she was naturally lively. She must have been to stables, but she hadn’t seen cow pastures. She might not have seen what it looked like when cow dung is smeared on the body.

Su Sikong was almost choked by the breath stuck in his throat, "Sir... I was just carel...careless..."

"What do you mean by careless?"

Jun Ruoxue blinked those big dewy glistening eyes, looking like a curious little girl, "Oh, I understand! You must have tripped over because you’re so fat, and your feet are so small, they can’t bear your weight, so you fell over?"

As she spoke, she looked as if she had made a ground breaking discovery!

Su Sikong choked, coughing violently, as if he was going to cough his lungs out.

"Oh dear! It seems you also have asthma? That’s really unfortunate."

Jun Ruoxue tilted her little head to the left and to the right, clicked her tongue, "I say, Deputy County Magistrate, you should really lose some weight. With all your fat, how much good stuff do you have to eat to grow so much meat like this? Look! Now it’s asthma, who knows if you’ll have a stroke or hemiplegia tomorrow. Then you won’t be able to move at all, that will be really painful..."
