First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 300: Endure for a Moment

Cui Yushan could tell that Xie Yingfeng was angry.

Unfortunately, this place is so far away from the capital. Even if he really encounters something and wants to ask the Ministry of Revenue for help, I am afraid that distant water cannot quench nearby fire.

He had already had a very unpleasant quarrel with Wei Ling before. In the future, if he wants to do things in this area, he will meet him every day. For now, it seems that he cannot make things too awkward with the people in Mangcheng.

Cui Yushan pulled Zheng Wenxiu and said, "Okay. Let's do as Mr. Xie said. We want this piece of land."

Zheng Wenxiu felt dissatisfied and wanted to say something, but Cui Yushan pulled her again and directly pulled her behind him. "My wife is rude, please don't take it to heart, sir."

"Of course." Xie Yingfeng touched his chin and said with a smile, "I will work with Lord Cui in the future, so I will not argue with Madam. Lord Cui loves Madam and is willing to listen to her opinions, which is a good thing. It helps the family to be harmonious. However, this is a matter between Lord Cui and Madam behind closed doors. As for the affairs in the government office, it is better for Lord Cui to have the final say. After all, Madam does not hold an official position, so it is not good for her to interfere too much."

"Yes, yes, yes." Cui Yushan's face turned red for no reason.

Cui Yushan knew that Xie Yingfeng was laughing at him for being so easily influenced.

"Okay, now that the location of the government office has been solved, what about the funding?" Cui Yushan quickly changed the subject.

"In terms of funding, we in Mangcheng can only help with part of the problem." Xie Yingfeng said with a smile, "You can see that the prefectural government is in such a state of disrepair, and there is no money to repair it. We can only barely clean up two habitable rooms. Take your time, and please forgive me, Lord Cui."

Cui Yushan's mouth twitched. Don't think he didn't know that Xie Yingfeng had another residence and that he had just moved into the prefect's mansion. But the fact that the prefect's mansion was shabby was a real fact in front of him. Even the place where the prefect Xie Yingfeng lived was a mess. His rank was not as high as Xie Yingfeng's, so he was embarrassed to say anything.

Cui Yushan and Xie Yingfeng chatted for a while before pulling Zheng Wenxiu out of the Mangcheng Prefecture's Mansion.

"You really feel that you are far away from the capital now, so you want to bully me, right?" Zheng Wenxiu was still thinking about the fact that Cui Yushan had not allowed her to argue with Xie Yingfeng. After getting on the carriage, she threw Cui Yushan's hand and said angrily.

"Madam, we can't go head-to-head with this bunch of reckless men like we did before." Cui Yushan felt tired in his heart, but he couldn't show anything in front of Zheng Wenxiu, so he could only speak with a smile again.

Zheng Wenxiu turned her face away and snorted.

"Madam, we still have to live here. Don't have any quarrels with them for the time being." Cui Yushan said earnestly, "It's not good. Now you can see how deep the foundation of Wei Ling and Xie Yingfeng is in Mangcheng. To be honest, in this border area, the Turks are eyeing us covetously. We can't provoke Wei Ling and them for the time being. Think about it, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. We are new here and have no relatives. We can only use the 100 guards we brought with us, but they have more than 100,000 troops at their disposal. We can't win in a head-on fight. To put it bluntly, even if something happens to us, they can just report to the court and say that we have encountered banditry or military disasters. What do you think we should do? What can the people in the capital do to them?"

Zheng Wenxiu's anger suddenly disappeared after hearing what Cui Yushan said, and she felt a chill in her heart.

Yes, they encountered robbers when they came... It was only when Wei Ling led his troops that they were able to solve their problem. If it was really as Cui Yushan said, and they really had an accident, even if the capital wanted to investigate, they might not be able to find anything...

"So are we just going to suffer this humiliation?" Although Zheng Wenxiu felt scared, she still felt a little angry in her heart.

"Be patient for a while." Cui Yushan sighed and said, "It would be better if Wei Ling and Xie Yingfeng don't have any evidence in my hands! We have a long way to go." He almost gritted his teeth when he said the second half of the sentence.

"My husband is right!" It was rare for Zheng Wenxiu to agree with Cui Yushan.

"Madam, please let your father-in-law take care of our government affairs." Cui Yushan held Zheng Wenxiu's hand, "I will write a letter to request the Ministry of Revenue to allocate funds. You can say a few good words to your father-in-law and mother-in-law. If we get more money, you will live more comfortably, right? Anyway, it is the Ministry of Revenue that pays the money! It doesn't matter how much it pays!"

Zheng Wenxiu then rolled her eyes at Cui Yushan, but still nodded.

She also wants to live more comfortably!

Xie Yingfeng waited until Cui Yushan and his wife left before inviting Su Jixiang out. "Good fellow, you almost lost the place you chose!" He patted his chest and smiled, "Fortunately, I am smart! Don't worry, Guangjitang is doing good things, I will definitely get it done. I will allocate this piece of land to Guangjitang. You don't have to worry about money. Since we are here in the name of Mangcheng Yamen, you don't have to pay for it."

"Let's donate the gifts to them." Su Jixiang said with a smile, "It can be regarded as a good deed for them!"

"Of course!" Xie Yingfeng nodded. "Don't worry, leave it to me."

"Then I won't meddle in your business any more." Su Jixiang said with a smile, "I'll send the gifts and gift list to your governor's mansion later, and you can do whatever you want!"

"Please!" Xie Yingfeng clapped his hands and said with a smile.

By the time they left the prefect's mansion, it was already late. Su Jixiang looked at the time. It was the busy time at the bakery, so she simply went to Caidiexuan's bakery.

The location of this bakery was chosen at the place she had originally visited.

Just as Su Jixiang expected, there was already a long line in front of the door.

There has never been a day without a queue at Caidiexuan Bakery since the day it opened.

The dim sum here cannot be imitated in other places, and the prices range from high to low, which can meet the needs of all levels. For example, the large meat buns they sell are as big as three ordinary buns, but the price is only twice that of ordinary buns. This kind of thing is very popular among ordinary people. It is cheap and good, with thin skin and large fillings. The sauce bursts out when you bite it, and it instantly swept the whole Mangcheng.

Other bun shops now also have imitations of Caidiexuan’s big buns, but neither the taste nor the fillings can compare to Caidiexuan’s!
