<h4>Chapter 523: Going to see County Magistrate Zhou</h4> <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>Lonelytree </h4>
Zhou Wencai nodded and replied, “Yes, father. This is Miss Lin, my friend. Miss Lin, this is my father. He’s also the county Magistrate of An Ding County.”
Lin yun greeted County Magistrate Zhou and said, ” Hello, County Magistrate Zhou!”
County Magistrate Zhou nodded and said, ” girl, since you’re here, let’s talk inside!”
Immediately, Lin yun and Jiang Zhennan followed the Zhou father and son.
Lin yun and Jiang Zhennan sat down, and a momentter, a maidservant served tea.
After the maidservant left, County Magistrate Zhou impatiently went straight to the point. “little Lin, I heard that you are the Lin family Vige’s expert farmer who can produce eight stones per mu. Is this true? ”
Lin yun smiled indifferently and said, ” County Magistrate Zhou, if you are talking about the Lin family Vige, then this is true. I am that expert who can produce eight stones per mu.”
There was no need to hide this matter.
When County Magistrate Zhou heard Lin yun’s words, he was surprised. The surprise on his face was also obvious.
He was surprised and puzzled by Lin yun’s age.
A 12-year-old child was actually an expert in farming. No one would believe it.
However, the truth was just that.
County Magistrate Zhou’s face was filled with surprise and suspicion. He said in disbelief, “But I heard from Wen ‘Er that you are only twelve years old, right? A twelve-year-old child is an expert in farming. Little girl, is that believable?” As he spoke, his tone became stern. He mmed the teacup on the table and said sternly, ” Lin yun, do you know the consequences of lying to me? ”
Lin yun also put down her teacup. Her expression was calm andposed as she said to County Magistrate Zhou, ” County Magistrate Zhou, everyone in the Lin family Vige knows about this. I don’t need to hide it, nor do I need to deceive anyone!”
County Magistrate Zhou asked again, “However, I heard that your family guests did everything. From the beginning to the end, they were the ones who participated in the farming, but you were free and at ease. You only moved your mouth from the side.” Of course, these were the things said by Yan Lin, who wanted to frame Lin Yun.
However, all the Lin family vigers knew that some of Lin yun’s guests didn’t know how to farm.
It was simply impossible for people who did not know how to farm to produce a yield of eight stones per mu.
As for Lin yun, she started to farm when she was seven years old. Moreover, she said that she hade back from the dead and she had gained some extraordinary skills.
At this moment, County Magistrate Zhou’s words were indeed full of doubts. Seeing Lin yun in person had given him too much of a shock. Therefore, he had never believed that a child could really produce a high harvest of eight stones per mu.
Lin yun still smiled calmly and said, ” County Magistrate Zhou, a capable person doesn’t have to do everything himself. Isn’t it better to just let others listen to hismand instead?”
Her words sounded like she was trying to elevate herself. More importantly, the people who listened to hermand were the defender-general and the Lieutenant. It was as if she was belittling them and saying that they were incapable.
Zhou Wencai had just taken a sip of tea, but upon hearing Lin yun’s words, he immediately spat it out in shock. Then, he coughed, but his eyes were secretly sizing up Jiang Zhennan. He was afraid that he would see him angry and the fury on his face.
However, the facts proved that Zhou Wencai was overthinking things. From the beginning to the end, Jiang Zhennan had been sitting beside Lin yun. He had pursed his thick lips and had a cold and expressionless face. It was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
When County Magistrate Zhou saw his son’s behavior, he sternly lectured him. “Wen ‘Er, you even choked on your tea. You shouldn’t be so rude in front of our guests!”
Zhou Wencai’s face turned red as he said, “Father, I identally choked. &Quot; Then, he turned to Lin yun and said, ” Miss Lin, young master Nan, please forgive my rudeness!”
Lin yun shook her head in amusement.
She didn’t think that the Zhou family’s eldest young master would be so easily shocked.
However, from this, one could also see the way the father and son got along. It looked like they exposed each other’s shorings, but in fact, they had a good rtionship.
Jiang Zhennan’s cold face looked at the Zhou father and son. There was a moment of envy, but he quickly regained his cold expression.
Lin yun smiled and said, ” County Magistrate Zhou, it’s alright. You just choked a little. In the past, I’ve seen young master Zhou snatching food from other people’s bowls.” She was referring to the time when Zhou Wencai snatched the fish from Liu Qi’s bowl at Yui Inn.
When County Magistrate Zhou heard Lin yun’s words, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he immediately realized that Lin yun was telling him that she and his son had been very casual with each other and that they were like real friends.
County Magistrate Zhou quickly smiled and said, ” alright. Little Lin is indeed a smart person!”
The atmosphere was no longer as serious and stiff as before. It waspletely harmonious and lively, very much like a conversation between ordinary people.
Lin yun smiled and said, ” then, I will have to ask County Magistrate Zhou. What are your thoughts on inviting me here? ” Lin yun also asked directly.
County Magistrate Zhou had definitely not invited them over just because she and his son were friends.
Since that was the case, he might as well be more direct.
The atmosphere suddenly changed when she was asked this question. It seemed to be more serious.
County Magistrate Zhou and young master Zhou had never thought that Lin yun would be so direct and straightforward.
Therefore, for a while, the father and son were a little amazed.
However, County Magistrate Zhou quickly said, “little Lin, you’re really smart. Since that’s the case, I will not beat around the bush.” Then, he said directly, ” I want the method of farming!”
