Chapter 164 Do you have anything to say?
Huai County Magistrate secretly groaned in his heart. He really didn't want to stay here for a minute. But since He Changan said so, he didn't dare to refuse. He could only nod and smile, saying, "Whatever Lord He wants to say, of course I am free. I will listen to whatever Lord He wants to say."
Huai County Magistrate originally thought that He Chang'an had some resentment in his heart and had not vented it in a few words, or he wanted to step on him in front of the woman he liked. Although it was embarrassing, it was actually a good thing if this was the case. What he was most afraid of was that He Chang'an would say nothing and then make trouble for him later, which would be bad.
"Remember, this is not Master Cao's arrangement, and it is not because of me that Master Cao made any concessions to you. This is the result of the child's own knowledge. It has nothing to do with me, you, or Master Cao. Magistrate Huai, do you understand?" He Chang'an looked at the Magistrate Huai and said every word clearly.
"Do you understand? If you don't understand, I don't mind telling you again." He Changan said very patiently.
How could Huai County Magistrate not understand this? "Don't worry, I know that this is all Young Master Li's achievement through his own ability. It has nothing to do with anyone else."
"Then I won't bother County Magistrate Huai anymore. Go and get busy." After saying this, He Changan didn't even bother to look him in the eye.
How could the County Magistrate Huai dare to care about these things? After answering, he hurriedly took Madam Ma and Ma Cong away. It was not until he left the house that the County Magistrate Huai felt relieved.
Thinking back to what happened just now, "I think I didn't offend him. It looks like nothing will happen. It's so careless. Who is this Miss Li? How does she know He Changan?"
Perhaps Huai County Magistrate was too nervous and kept muttering to himself.
"Cousin, who is this Mr. He? Why have I never seen him before? Is it possible that his family is also an official?" Although Mrs. Ma already knew how powerful he was, she still couldn't help asking out of curiosity.
Huai County Magistrate has now calmed down a little. Thinking about the generous gift he has received and the fact that he will still need his cousin in the future, his tone has softened a lot.
"He is the county magistrate's confidant! Everything has to be discussed with him. Who am I in front of him? Not to mention me, even if the county magistrate came today, he would have to give some face to this Mr. He. Cong'er, I tell you, stay away from Miss Li's brother in the academy in the future. He is not someone we can afford to offend! Do you understand?" County Magistrate Huai grabbed Ma Cong and said seriously.
"I heard it, I understand, uncle, you hurt me." Ma Cong murmured.
This was the first time he saw his uncle like this. He felt a little scared and uncomfortable, but he didn't know what to say. He could only agree to whatever his uncle said.
"However, Miss Li's brother is in the intermediate class, and Cong'er is in the elementary class, so we won't meet. That's okay, that's okay." County Magistrate Huai comforted himself in this way, and the stone in his heart was slightly relieved.
Madam Ma was still a little confused. "Didn't you say that Mr. He is the county magistrate's confidant? Then why did the county magistrate give Mr. He some face?"
Huai County Magistrate also figured this out himself, but he couldn't say it. It's hard to say something that you are not sure of.
"Anyway, just remember it, and don't worry about anything else."
In the room, Master Cao and Madam Cao looked at He Changan with inquiry and scrutiny.
"Then I'll have to ask Master and Madam to take good care of Zhengde in the future." He Changan said with a smile.
Master Cao just watched He Changan and the Magistrate of Huai County confront each other with cold eyes. He thought that he would also have to endure some cold words. After all, his attitude had softened before Li Mingxia and the others came. However, he did not expect that both Li Mingxia and He Changan were still polite and respectful to him, as if nothing had happened. This made him very satisfied.
"Zhengde is a smart child, I like him very much. Don't worry about leaving him to me." Master Cao said with a smile, looking at Li Zhengde with great love in his eyes.
After leaving the Baima Academy, Li Mingxia and He Changan drove the ox cart and walked slowly towards the yamen.
"I have to thank you for what you did today. If it weren't for you, it wouldn't be so easy for our Zhengde to enter this intermediate class." Li Mingxia said to He Changan with a smile.
"I told you not to be so polite, why are you still like this?" He Changan was about to say something else when he heard Li Mingxia say, "I felt a little guilty for bothering Master He so early in the morning, so I thought about cooking a few more delicious dishes at home tonight, firstly to celebrate my brother's successful entry into the intermediate class, and secondly to thank Master He for helping me. Since Master He said that I don't need to be polite, does that mean you won't honor me with your presence in the evening?"
He Changan turned his head and looked at Li Mingxia, who had a calm face, and couldn't help but smile, "I didn't realize you were so bad before. I really don't want your thanks for helping you, but I still want a meal."
"Then come over when you get off work tonight. Tell me what dishes you like so I can prepare them in the evening." Li Mingxia said with a smile.
He Changan was not polite either, "Don't you know what I like to eat?"
As he said this, he also mentioned several names of dishes, and Li Mingxia wrote them all down carefully.
"Add a few more seafood dishes, right?"
He Changan’s favorite things to eat are all kinds of rare fruits and seafood. He probably didn’t mention them just now because he was afraid of embarrassing Li Mingxia, so he just mentioned a few common dishes.
If it were someone else, Li Mingxia would not bother to go through the trouble, but today He Changan really helped Li Zhengde a lot, so Li Mingxia was willing to do her best to prepare this meal.
"You said you don't know what I like to eat. Listen to what you said. They are all my favorites. In that case, you don't need to order those dishes. Just the ones you just mentioned will do. Otherwise, it would be too much trouble for you."
Li Mingxia didn't say anything, just agreed casually, and didn't send He Changan to the yamen gate. He just said that he had to go back to prepare meals and take care of the workshop and went back first.
"See you tonight, Mingxia."
He Changan looked at Li Mingxia deeply, as if he wanted to say something.
"What's wrong? Want to say something?" Li Mingxia felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him, so she took the initiative to ask.
