61 Waiting

Because Grandma Zhou and the others had gathered at the entrance of the county office to cause trouble, they were imprisoned by County Lieutenant Cao. After entering their cells, they did not panic.

After the others left, Grandma Zhou took out some money from her pocket and waved at the prison guard. “Little Brother, come!”

The prison guard said impatiently, “What are you doing? Stay inside obediently!”

Grandma Zhou knew that actually, people like them would not be recorded in the records. They would only be locked up for three to five days before being released.

But who would get used to being in jail?

Moreover, it was a mixed prison for men and women. If she really stayed for a day, her reputation would be ruined. How could she still be a matchmaker in the future?

“Little Brother, can you help me ask how much I must pay to get out this time?” Grandma Zhou knew that someone like her who did not commit any major crimes could get out after paying a sum of money.

In the past, when the county magistrate was around, one could forget about leaving if one did not have 100 taels of silver.

Ordinary families simply could not fork out that much.

“Twenty taels.” When the prison guard heard that it was about money, his attitude became better.

County Lieutenant Cao was currently helping the Imperial Envoy manage the government office and they had always recorded those sums of money.

The money was usually spent on the government office and commoners but they more or less benefited from it too.

Fifteen minutes later, Grandma Zhou patted her clothes and walked out of the county prison.

However, she only walked out of the prison. As the person who committed a crime, she still had to stay in the county office for half a day and listen to an old pedant’s lecture before she could go out.

The old pedant looked down on women so when he saw Grandma Zhou, he scolded her for embarrassing her family.

Grandma Zhou sat on a cold stool. When she heard the old scholar say “unfilial woman”, she gritted her teeth and thought, “Hu Family Village, right? Just you wait. This matter is not over!”

She wanted to let this person from a dilapidated village know that there was a price to pay for offending her!

When their village needed a matchmaker in the future, they would kneel down and beg her!

Zhang Zhan dealt with the official matters of the county office and walked out of the study while rubbing his shoulders.

“When will the Tian Family send the new County Magistrate over? I’ve almost finished his job for him!”

If he had known earlier, he would not have taken on this Imperial Envoy’s job. He originally thought that he had chosen a small corner to do something good to accumulate merit, but in the end, he ended up stumbling here.

Troublesome.

He casually asked the servant beside him, “Where did the young master go?”

The servant mentioned a place. Zhang Zhan went over and saw Qin Huai sitting by a pavilion, staring at a pool of water in a daze.

It was early spring, and there were only a few small and tender lotus leaves in the pool.

“How are you doing with that little girl? Doesn’t she look like a blessing? Her personality is also nice and obedient and not inferior to the ladies in Wanning City.”

Everyone pampers the small blessing who has a Spatial pocketNơi câu chuyện tồn tại. Hãy khám phá bây giờ
