Chapter 320 The Magistrate Sends a Gift

"What are you doing? Get up quickly." Jiang Youzhen hurried forward to help him up, "This is our fate, right? Stay home and live a good life in the future."

In fact, Jiang Youzhen felt that in the book, Liu Ya was so devoted to the original owner that she must be a person of excellent character.

In the book, the original owner was only indifferent to Liu Ya. The two of them became somewhat intimate after the original owner discovered Liu Ya in a brothel. At that time, the original owner actually had a purpose, which was to let Liu Ya gather information.

Most of them are just exploitation, but Liu Ya is still devoted to him. She is just giving him a hand now, and what happens in the future depends on Liu Ya herself.

"Second brother, I have nothing and cannot repay you. But I am willing to work like a slave and never marry, and only obey your orders." Liu Ya wiped away her tears, her eyes full of determination.

The second brother's family treated her very well, but the second brother treated her the best and saved her life. She had nothing but her whole life to repay him.

"You silly child, what nonsense are you talking about?" Shen was also moved.

Liu Ya knelt on the ground and refused to get up. Jiang Youzhen sighed, "It's just a piece of cake. We are cousins. Can we just stand by and watch?"

"Get up quickly! If you live a good life in the future, it will be your repayment to me." Jiang Youzhen pulled Liu Ya up.

This matter has finally been settled, and the banquet will be the day after tomorrow.

The clan leader insisted on holding a grand banquet, and Jiang Fugui and his wife were very happy and wanted to hold a grand banquet as well, so they invited all the villagers to the banquet.

When farmers give gifts, the gift may be small but the thought is great. However, this time the whole village came and there were not enough tables, so they had to set up a buffet.

"I'm afraid there will be about 20 to 30 tables. There are many people in our village." The clan leader discussed with Jiang Fugui enthusiastically.

"Do it! Have a big one, 20 or 30 tables." Jiang Fugui was very happy, this was a big happy event.

"Young Master! There's someone outside the door delivering a gift." Luo Manliang, who had just taken office, was the general manager, but his main job was to follow Jiang Youzhen in his work, and he would have to follow Jiang Youzhen everywhere in the future.

Kou Zhunzhen is in charge of the household and is considered the family's steward.

"Who?" Jiang Youzhen asked.

"It is said that he is a young master from this village."

Is it Tong Huaian? Jiang Youzhen understood. Since they lived nearby, gifts would definitely be necessary for a big banquet.

"Please let someone in!"

The person who came was Xiaowu. This time, Xiaowu was very respectful to Jiang Youzhen. First, he was older and understood the rules. Second, Jiang Youzhen's status was different now. He was just a small servant, so he didn't dare to speak wildly.

"Master Jiang, I would like to congratulate you on winning the first place in the county case on behalf of the young master. Here is the gift for you."

"Thank your young master for me, and ask him to come for a drink the day after tomorrow." Jiang Youzhen had actually already sent the invitation. After all, he had taught her the basics in the past.

"Yes! I will definitely pass on the message!"

Xiaowu took a look at the gifts at hand. Both gift boxes were square and there was no scroll at all.

The young master said at the beginning that he would give the painting to Jiang Youzhen, but for some reason he didn't.

After Xiaowu left, Jiang Youzhen opened the gift box, which contained an inkstone and a white jade ornament with the meaning of good fortune, longevity and peace.

The inkstone is a Duan inkstone with a landscape pavilion carved on it. It is purple in color, with fine stone and exquisite carvings. It feels smooth, delicate and tender, and it is obviously a top-notch product at first glance.

The ornament of good fortune, longevity and peace is made of warm white jade. There is a layer of oil on the surface, and the texture is fine, delicate and moist.

"Wow! This ornament is so beautiful. It must be expensive, right?" Shen didn't know much about inkstones, but she could still tell the quality of white jade ornaments.

"How much silver are these two worth?" asked old lady He curiously.

"At least six or seven hundred taels." Jiang Youzhen put the things back into the box. They were very valuable. These two gifts were too heavy.

"So expensive?" Shen, Jiang Fugui and others exclaimed in surprise.

"Can you afford to repay this favor?" Old man Jiang Tao didn't expect that the boy from the head of the village would give such an expensive gift.

"Let's find a chance to return it later! It's not good to just return it like this." Jiang Youzhen asked Luo Manliang to take the things into the house. She would return a similar gift in the future when Tong Huaian passed the imperial examination!

Oh! Speaking of Tong Huaian, when he was the first in the Zhongxian case, she didn't seem to send it? Uh... she really forgot.

Early in the morning of the next day, before dawn, Jiang Youzhen's yard became bustling.

Many women came to help wash vegetables and cook, as they had to prepare food for 27 tables today. For this purpose, Jiang Fugui even went to the town to invite a chef.

"Tsk tsk! Rich families are so generous. Look! There's pork, fish, rabbit and pheasant. These are all hard-core dishes!"

The men in the village gathered around to watch the fun, and would lend a hand wherever they saw someone needed help.

The women were washing and cutting vegetables, some were making meatballs, and everyone had a smile on their face.

Daya and Zhao Wei had already rushed back from the county town and went to Jiang Youzhen's house.

"Hey! This is a gift from your brother-in-law and I to you!"

Jiang Youzhen quickly took it and found that it was a jade pendant and a hairband, a complete set, and the quality of the green jade was quite good.

"I know you have everything you need now, but your brother-in-law and I chose the pattern for this set of green jade pendants and asked the people at the silver shop to make them."

"Thank you, sister and brother-in-law!" Jiang Youzhen was very happy.

"Come and see if the things your second brother-in-law and I gave you are to your liking?" At this time, Erya and He Shulin came over and handed over a brocade box with a smile.

"Is this an aromatherapy ball? It's very beautiful! Thank you, second sister and second brother-in-law, I like it very much." A gilded aromatherapy ball can be hung in the study in the future.

San Ya gave him a set of clothes and a set of four treasures for the study. The clothes were all sewn by her, inside and out, and Jiang Youzhen had already put them on today.

By noon, guests had arrived one after another, and many of them brought gifts.

The magistrate even sent people from the county town to deliver gifts, which surprised the villagers and made them exclaim in praise.

"Even the county magistrate sent a gift. Is Jiang Youzhen so proud?"

"Is this true? The young man from the Jiang family knows the county magistrate?"

When Aunt Ya heard everyone's discussion, she immediately smiled and said, "Of course. Xiaolang has met the magistrate! They even had dinner together."

"Wow!" everyone exclaimed. There was nothing they could do. They had never seen a higher-ranking official. The county magistrate was already a very high-ranking official to them.

Jiang Youzhen laughed. If they knew that the Second Master and the Fourth Master who had just sent gifts were actually princes of the current dynasty, they would probably think they were dreaming.

Taking a look at the gifts piled on the desk, Jiang Youzhen felt a bit of a headache, as all of these would have to be returned in the future.

After ordering Luo Manliang to register, Jiang Youzhen went to the side hall. Today was her big day and she had to go out to entertain the guests.

"Huh? Mr. Wang from our village has also sent someone to deliver a gift?" Shen was very surprised to see the servant of Mr. Wang.
