The evening was the Lantern Festival, and Wei Yan thought that this was the last Lantern Festival they had in Zhuoting County, so he discussed with Fu Yuheng to go out to see the lanterns at night.Dong Xueqing shirked his physical discomfort and didn't go, and in the evening, the family of five changed into civilian clothes and went out, played happily all night, and returned happy.The next day, Wei Yan returned to the mansion and got busy.He was promoted to the governor of Yuezhou, but before he took office, he still had to have an official handover with the new Zhuoting County Warden who took over.Not only that, but the family lived in Zhuoting County for six years, and some of the granges and other properties purchased during this period had to be settled one by one.This naturally includes the tofu workshop, the grange used by Wei Xi to grow rouge rice.Fu Yuheng was a little undecided about these two places, so he had to send someone to call his little daughter.After thinking for a while, Wei Xi replied: "The tofu workshop can wait until it arrives in Hengdu to build another one, and this place in Zhuoting County does not have to be closed, just leave a trustworthy steward as a branch to operate, after all, this workshop is intended to benefit the people, not to make money from it." ”The youngest daughter's thoughts coincided with her, Fu Yuheng nodded again and again when she heard it, "That's the reason, what about your grange Xi'er?"
”This is what she struggles with the most.Considering that they might have to return to Kyoto soon after the Chinese New Year, she had already found someone to follow in the other two granges, and now they had successfully sold them, and now only this one was left.Although I am sure that I will not return to Kyoto now, I will also have to leave Zhuoting County, and this grange will naturally be beyond my reach.Wei Xi thought for a long time this time, "The cultivation of rouge rice is not easy, and the growing conditions are also harsh, so you might as well keep this grange for now, and then let Futian count which tenant farmers are willing to learn how to grow rouge rice."
The grange will be used as a dedicated grange for the cultivation of rouge rice in the future.In this way, it can be used for business or for your own consumption. ”Fu Yuheng nodded after hearing this, "It's okay."
If I don't plant this rouge rice in the future, I also think it's a pity. ”Wei Xi stood up, "Then my daughter will do it." ”"Go ahead, take Xiao Qi and Wei San."
On the ninth day of the Divine Decree, it was nearly noon.Wei Yan got up and prepared to go back to the house for dinner, and as soon as he left the main hall, he saw a simple carriage parked outside the wide open mansion yamen.He paused on the steps, and saw a tall, thin young man dressed in pale blue jumping out of the carriage.Then a somewhat stocky teenager jumped out of the car.The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, carefully helped down an old man with a white beard.When he saw the old man's face, Wei Yan was directly stunned.After coming back to his senses, he hurriedly raised his feet to greet him, "Zhuo Xing has seen Mr.
Su." ”When the old man heard the voice, his white eyebrows raised, his eyes fell on Wei Yan, who came to salute, and he coughed lightly and helped the person up, "It's Zhuoxing, get up quickly." ”Wei Yan hurriedly straightened up, looked at Mr.
Su in front of him, who he hadn't seen for several years, and couldn't help but look at the young man next to him."
Su Qi has seen Lord Zhizhou."
Looking at the young man saluting him in front of him, Wei Yan was instantly blessed with a heart, "You are the new county guard of Zhuoting County?"
”Su Qi: "Back to my lord, exactly." ”There were two more seats at the noon table in the Wei Mansion, and they were the ancestors and grandchildren of the Su family who were strongly invited by Wei Yan.After a happy lunch, Wei Yan first persuaded Mr.
Su, who had been tired all the way, to rest, and then turned around and talked to Su Qi again.After chatting freely, the two immediately sympathized with each other.Originally, he was a little worried about who would be the new county watchman of Zhuoting County, after all, he had been in this place for six years and had already had feelings.Now it can be said that there are no more worries.In the backyard, Fu Yuheng also talked to his three children about the two people who were guests."
That Mr.
Su, whose name is Su Weijian, was the young master of the crown prince and the elder of the cabinet, and then left the officialdom because of political discord with the prime minister.Your father, he has been taught by this Mr.
Su for several years, and he has great respect for him.This Mr.
Su is a real upright gentleman, and the new county guard is his descendant, so your father can also be completely relieved. ”As a wife, Fu Yuheng doesn't know what her husband is worried about these days.She has lived in Zhuoting County for six years, and her feelings are equally deep, so she naturally hopes that the new county guard will be a good official who also loves the people like a son and is responsible.Thinking of the young man with a handsome appearance and a gentle and polite demeanor, Fu Yuheng glanced at his eldest daughter vaguely.Before Wei Yun noticed it, he quickly retracted his gaze.Keifu-in.If you want to say that the only one who doesn't know the taste of this lunch, it is Dong Xueqing.After returning to Huifeng Temple, she stayed in her room alone, closed the doors and windows, and no longer hid her expression.The light oozing from those eyes in the darkness was unprovoked, a little seeping.Dong Xueqing's mind was in a mess.First, Wei Yan was promoted to the governor of Yuezhou, and now the new county guard of Zhuoting County turned out to be Su Qi.It seems that since she stepped on the boundary of Zhuoting County, all the developments around her have undergone strange changes.But she has little power, and she doesn't even have the ability to find out why all this is wrong."
What should I do?"
Dong Xueqing couldn't help muttering to herself.Is she going to go ahead with her original plan, or will she leave as soon as possible to avoid the next changes?
Ah Shui guarded the door to prevent people from approaching, and when he heard the footsteps and muttering back and forth in the house, he lowered his eyes to hide the thoughts in his eyes.Miss, she is becoming less and less like the original Miss!
From the next day, Wei Yan took Su Qi to the government office, with Mr.
Su's relationship and through a short period of time together, he really appreciated this Su Qi, so he tried his best to take Su Qi to introduce the officials in the government one by one and the departments and important tasks they were responsible for.After that, he talked about the situation in detail in the subordinate counties, and after Su Qi was familiar with it, he handed over all the official affairs in his hand.When these things are done, it will be the day when he will go to Hengdu to take up his post.Compared with a simple carriage when Su Qi came, the pomp and circumstance he left here was really scary.There were more than a dozen carriages alone, followed by 1,000 Wei family soldiers, 300 Fu family soldiers, and hundreds of household servants.It swept to the gates of the city.Su Qi brought a group of officials from this yain to see him off, but not only these officials, but also many ordinary people who spontaneously came to see him off at the gate of the city.The gates of the city at noon had never been so crowded as they had been at this moment.Watching the carriage slowly leave the city gate, the people spontaneously knelt down and shouted with a reluctant face: "Congratulations to Lord Zhizhou." ”"My lord has a safe journey!"
A hand stretched out from the carriage and waved it back for a while, and when they looked up, they saw the hand that had been waving, and the people could no longer hold back their red eyes and shed tears.Six years is not a long time, but they remember everything they have done for Zhuoting County.But even if there is a lot of reluctance in their hearts, they are sincerely happy to see them rise step by step.Besides, the adults are going to Renzhizhou, the capital of Hengdu, and they are not returning to the capital, and the people are still under the governance of the adults, so when they think about it, the reluctance in their hearts is lighter.Su Qi looked at this touching picture of the people spontaneously sending each other, and was also shocked and a little distracted.There was a gentle pat on the shoulder.Su Qi turned around, "Grandfather." ”Su Weijian looked at his young grandson and said in a deep voice: "Zhuo Xing's child has a pure temperament and is dedicated to the people, and he has been upholding this for six years, so he will be supported by these people."
Pray, this is the way to be an official, do you see?
”Su Qi felt the weight of the hand on his shoulder, and nodded heavily, "Sun Er understands." ”For the way of officials, upright, innocent, live up to the emperor's grace, and more, live up to the public opinion.He kept it in mind.
