drunk
Although wine has been treasured by Wu Damei for many years, its purity is not high and it is still difficult to get down.
Such wine will definitely not be able to enter the mouths of high-ranking officials or nobles, nor will it enter the gates of the palace.
However, Uya Siqing responded and drank a lot.
Wu Damei fell softly on the chair and seemed to drink a little high.
"I have been a village branch here for more than ten years and I am still mediocre. Miss Chen, you said..."
"Uh... am I too failed?"
Uya Siqing just glanced at her and didn't say anything.
With a light cough, Wu Damei continued, "The village branches of the two villages I took office with had already gone up, and I was the only one who was left."
"It must be that the gift I gave was not heavy enough. There is no way. What can I squeeze in such a village?"
Wu Damei seemed to have a few sips and began to speak without restraint.
These words were exactly what Uya Siqing wanted to hear.
Since it was her own words, Uya Siqing also cared about it.
"Actually, living in this village is not bad, with beautiful mountains and rivers. You should not care too much about the village branch."
"You guys who are used to living a good life don't know what it feels like to be trapped in the mountains."
"We don't want some things, but we can't do anything if we encounter them." Uyashiqing lowered her head.
Wu Damei knew that she seemed to have said something she shouldn't say, so she frowned and sat upright.
"I feel embarrassed to mention your sad things."
Wu Ya Siqing waved her hand with a calm look on her face.
"Let it pass by, let it pass, there is no hurdle in life that cannot be overcome."
She calmed down and looked up at Wu Damei.
"I heard what you said just now that you are quite responsible to your own villagers. We did not choose the wrong place."
"Basically, every local official will try his best to oppress his people, but you..."
"Uh...you're doing a good job."
Wu Ya Siqing has always shown a bit , and this way she looks similar to Wu Damei's situation.
"I really admire you...uh..."
Seeing others putting themselves on high hats, Wu Damei felt a little better.
There seems to be only one thing she has done in her life to show off.
"Sometimes these villagers are not full for three meals. What can I squeeze some? Alas..."
"I really can't do it like Lihua Village and Zhanghua Village, those two villages."
"The taxes given above are not that heavy."
"Uh... they just collected more so that they could use the remaining money to bribe officials at the higher level, so they were all promoted."
"And I... just wait to stay here for the rest of my life."
Having said this, Wu Damei raised her lips slightly and smiled.
In the end, it was all because she couldn't bear it, and she couldn't say anything else.
Wu Ya Siqing was also a little regretful, and she sighed softly: "What a pity, a person who is as good as the village master, cannot be valued."
"And those who sacrificed the villagers for their own interests were promoted."
"What kind of world is this? It's unfair..."
Wu Yasiqing raised the wine jar and handed it to Wu Damei.
"Drink, let's have another drink."
Wu Damei also smiled, raised her wine can and knocked on the can in Wu Yasiqing's hand.
"Drink, haha... I'm a rare encounter with a heroic person like Miss Chen."
"It's good to call me Damei in the future. Don't call me the village master again. I don't pay attention to so many etiquettes here."
"Okay, Damei, you can just call me Si Qing in the future."
"It is also my honor to know such a good official in your life." Uya Siqing knocked on her wine can again.
"Haha... I did it... I could only have the strength to do things later." Wu Damei called out softly, raised the wine can and started to fill it.
"Okay." Uya Siqing also started to pour it.
In just a moment, the remaining wine in the wine jar of the two of them had been .
After putting down the wine bottle, people still couldn't calm down.
"Si Qing, do you know? Uh... Sometimes, I really want to go out and have a look."
"It's just... I don't have that ability, and I'm helpless."
"Uh..." Wu Damei half-squinted her eyes, her expression a little dull.
Wu Yasiqing let out a long sigh and said lightly: "You said, who did the village branches of Lihua Village and Taohua Village have bribed to rise to the top?"
"Of course it's Zeng Haitang, the county magistrate of our Qingshan County."
Wu Damei suddenly felt that her voice was too loud, so she coughed lightly and leaned against Wu Yasiqing.
"I heard that the people who support her behind her are extremely powerful."
"No one dares to offend an official like Mr. Zeng. She is openly kind and generous, and secretly accepts bribes."
"So, people with discerning eyes cannot tell that she is a corrupt person, and the people have always regarded her as a clean official."
"Look...uh... the corrupt official is really successful when he does what she does."
"Zeng Haitang?"
Wuya Siqing raised her eyebrows, as if she had heard of this name somewhere.
"Si Qing, whisper more, don't say this name at will."
Wu Damei seemed to be a little awake at this time.
Wu Ya Siqing nodded and calmed her spirit.
Could this Zeng Haitang be...
Qingshan County? The place where they are now is indeed called Qingshan County.
Since Zeng Haitang is a county magistrate of Qingshan County, she is a county magistrate among the thirteen counties in the south of the city.
"Mr. Zeng, don't you know me?" Wu Damei looked at Wu Ya Siqing in confusion.
"It seems that you are not from the south of the city."
"Well, let's not hide it. We came from the west of the city." Uya Siqing nodded.
She was not completely wrong. At least, she also had a house in the west of the city, which was her and Brother Xu Chen’s home.
"Since you don't know each other, it doesn't matter. Even if you stay here, you will definitely have a chance to meet you in the future."
Wu Damei suddenly felt that she talked too much today, so she stretched and stood up.
"Si Qing, I'll wash my face first, and I'll see how everyone is doing to renovate the land later."
"There is enough water, we must immediately pour water and turn the ground. Time is tight, so we can't be careless at all."
"Otherwise, we won't even have food in the second half of the year."
"I'll ask Xiao Liu to pour you some water, and you can wash your face, so it's more comfortable."
After giving up this, Wu Damei turned around and walked out the door.
"Great beauty, no need, I'll just go out and have a breath."
As soon as he finished speaking, Uya Siqing also stood up and walked over.
"I'll go to the yard to have a breath of wind. When you want to leave, call me and I'll also go over and see if I can help."
How could she wash her face? The fetal aspiration that she finally got on was gone.
