Chapter 509: Even if I’m Sick, I Still Need to See Someone
Mu Baobao knew the local county magistrate, but he didn't understand, "Second Brother, why did the county magistrate send a visiting card?"
"He wants to see us. To be more precise, he wants to see Prince Zheng." Hua Yun saw it clearly.
"I heard that the county magistrate's term will end in just over a year."
"More than a year may seem like a long time, but for a county magistrate who wants to move up, it's not much time."
"He needs to smooth over his connections, find a reliable person to help him, and then rely on his own assessments over the past few years to move up. Otherwise, he can only be transferred to another place to serve as a county magistrate."
"It's okay to be transferred to a better place to be a county magistrate, but if you are transferred to a remote and backward place to be a county magistrate, that would be unbearable."
Mu Baobao seemed to understand, "But, my brother is sick and can't see anyone."
Hua Yun pinched her cheek and said, "We need to ask Prince Zheng about this."
"Why? My little brother is sick, why does he want to see people?"
"In some cases, you have to see someone even if you're sick."
"Huh? You're not even allowed to rest when you're sick?"
Hua Yun was delighted by Mu Baobao's surprised expression. "That's how it is in big families, especially the head of the family."
"Just like your grandparents, even if they're not feeling well, they still have to deal with some things, right?"
Baby Mu shook his little head and said, "No."
"When my grandparents were sick, household chores were handed over to my parents, and my uncle and his family also helped out."
"But I've never seen my grandparents get sick."
My grandparents have always been in such good spirits and are always full of energy.
Hua Yun was envious. He came from a wealthy family and would occasionally get sick, but the old man and the old lady of the Mu family never got sick.
Is it related to years of hard work?
"Then let me put it another way..."
"You don't have to say anything." Zheng Xingguang, who had just woken up and walked out with the help of his followers, said, "Ask the county magistrate to come tomorrow."
"Little brother, why are you up?" Mu Baobao trotted over and asked concernedly, "Are you okay? Do you want some porridge?"
Zheng Xingguang had no appetite at all, "I'm not hungry."
"Eat even if you're not hungry." Mu Baobao put his hands on his hips. "My grandma said that you should eat more when you're sick. That way you can take the medicine properly and get better faster."
Zheng Xingguang had no choice but to agree.
Hua Yun asked the guard to report to the county magistrate while ordering the servants to bring some white porridge.
"Prince Zheng, the baby is right. You have to eat something when you are sick, otherwise it will take a long time to recover."
The attendant helped Zheng Xingguang sit on a low stool.
Zheng Xingguang had slept for too long and felt uncomfortable lying in bed. "I just have no appetite."
Hua Yun said, "You have a fever, so you must have no appetite."
"After you eat, take the medicine and have a good sleep, you will be fine tomorrow."
Mu Baobao said, "Little brother, you better listen to my second senior brother. His medical skills are amazing."
"I am now learning medical skills from my second senior brother."
Since her master didn't come with her, she had no choice but to learn medicine from her second senior brother.
Baobao Zheng hummed lazily. He wanted to walk around, but he felt too weak to move.
It's so uncomfortable.
"Little brother, you're already sick, do you still want to see the county magistrate?" Mu Baobao disagreed, "It's better not to see him."
Zheng Xingguang forced himself to say, "It's okay."
"Baby, this involves a lot of things," Hua Yun said. "It's related to both Xingzi Village and the private school, so it would be best if Prince Zheng met with the county magistrate."
Mu Baobao didn't understand, "Why is it related to the village and the private school?"
"This private school was opened by our family with the help of our uncle and master. It has nothing to do with the county magistrate."
Hua Yun asked, "Look, the county magistrate has taken good care of Xingzi Village and the private school, hasn't he?"
"Second Brother, I don't know about this. I haven't lived in the village for a long time."
"Baby, from what the village chief said, we can tell that the county magistrate has taken great care of Xingzi Village and the private school, so Prince Zheng wants to meet with the county magistrate."
"why?"
"It's for the future of Xingzi Village and the private school. Once Prince Zheng meets with the county magistrate, the county magistrate will continue to take care of Xingzi Village and the private school, and will also pass on instructions to the next county magistrate."
Mu Baobao pondered for a long time before finally understanding a little. "Is it to prevent people from causing trouble for the village and the private school?"
Hua Yun said, "There are considerations in this regard, and there are more considerations in other aspects."
"When the baby grows up a little, you will understand."
Mu Baobao found it so complicated and difficult to understand. Even when the little brother was sick, he had to see the county magistrate for the sake of the village and the private school.
Incomprehensible.
But she knew that what her second brother and younger brother did was right.
"I will tell my eldest brother and ask him to tell the village chief."
Hua Yun praised, "Baby did the right thing."
"You have to remember one thing: if you're doing someone a favor, you must tell them. Don't hide it. Otherwise, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble."
Mu Baobao said, "My grandma also said something like this."
"My grandma also said that if you have a favor to do, just state it clearly. Why not keep it to yourself? And then say you don't want others to repay the favor."
"My grandma said that if you don't want someone to repay you for a favor, just say it in public."
Hua Yun agreed with this very much, "Grandma Mu is right."
"Baby, remember this. If you're indebted to someone, you have to tell them. If you don't, someone might take advantage of the favor and do something bad, and it might even get you into trouble."
Mu Baobao agreed obediently. If she had any favor to do for anyone, she would definitely tell it and would never keep it to herself.
So, when the village chief learned that Zheng Xingguang had dragged his sick body to see the county magistrate for the sake of the village and the private school, he remembered this favor.
"Pingping, the young noble is sick, I can't disturb him, please say thank you for me."
He rubbed his hands and said, "Our entire village will remember this kindness and will never forget it."
How could he not know that the young nobleman was willing to help the village and the private school because of the Mu family.
If it weren't for the Mu family, the situation in the village wouldn't be so good, there wouldn't be a private school, and the county magistrate wouldn't have cared much about it.
Mu Pingping smiled and said, "I'll pass it on."
"Village chief, don't think too much. As long as the village and the private school are doing well and don't do things they shouldn't do, that's fine."
The village chief repeatedly assured, "Don't worry, I will never let the village or the private school do anything wrong."
"We are all honest villagers who have lived our entire lives, and we have received the kindness of noble people. How could we do such things?"
Mu Pingping understood the village chief's temperament. With the village chief in charge of the village and the private school, there would be no major problems.
The next day, morning.
The county magistrate came to Mu Baobao's house in simple clothes to meet Zheng Xingguang.
After a day and a night, Zheng Xingguang's fever was basically gone, but he still felt a little weak.
main room.
Zheng Xingguang sat sideways on the kang, glanced at the county magistrate who came in, and raised his hand to signal him to sit down.
The county magistrate bowed respectfully before sitting down cautiously.
"I heard that Prince Zheng was ill? Is he feeling better now?" His attitude was respectful but not flattering.
