Chapter 125 Healing
Seeing that he came back, she asked, "Didn't you say you came back at noon? Why did you come back now? Have you eaten yet? How about I go and warm up the food for you?"

Seeing that she was about to get up to heat the food after she finished speaking, Gu Ci stopped her and said, "No need, I'm not hungry yet."

After hesitating for a while, he explained again: "Today... I went to meet some friends, but I forgot the time, so I came back late."

Xie Sining nodded, not saying anything.

Then when Gu Ci was about to enter the house, she remembered what the village chief said in the morning.

"By the way, I'm going to the county government office tomorrow."

Gu Ci paused.

Looking back at the woman with a calm face.

"To the county office? What to do?"

"Isn't it because of the matter of taking everyone to plant things, the county government insisted on explaining clearly, so you can only go there once."

Xie Sining explained with a sigh.

The man has a complicated expression, and he doesn't trust her to go by herself.

"Then I will go with you tomorrow."

After hearing this, she said: "No need, it's quite a long way to go, and it takes a long time to go back and forth. We're all gone, what about Ye'er? I'll just go by myself. You can take the children at home." Bar."

Speaking of this, without giving him a chance to persist, she said again: "If you are free tomorrow, chop up those firewood too."

She smiled lightly, but he was still worried in his heart.

the next day.

Xie Sining was ready to go out after breakfast, told Gu Ci to take Gu Ye to school, and then went to Uncle Li's house to borrow a horse.

Because of the bandits before, Uncle Li's family lost an ox cart, Xie Sining later returned them an ox, a cart and a horse.

She also apologized repeatedly for borrowing a horse this time, but Uncle Li waved his hand indifferently.

"If you want to use it, take it. You bought this horse in the first place, so you can use it as you like."

"Thank you, Mr. Li."

After thanking her, she led the horse and left without asking for a car.

It is much faster to go directly on horseback than to drive, she thought about going there earlier and returning earlier, so as to save Gu Ci from worrying.

At dawn, Xie Sining left the village on a fast horse.

Some women who got up early saw a person and a horse galloping away, but they didn't even see who it was. When they looked carefully, they had already gone far away.

"Who rode past just now?"

"I do not know."

"I looked at it just now, why does it seem to belong to the Gu family?"

Someone with good eyes raised his mouth uncertainly.

It is rare to have a horse in the village, only the old man Li's family has one, but with his old bones, how could he dare to run so fast on a horse.

After leaving the village, Xie Sining hurried to the county government office, but it took an hour to reach the county government office.

Duan Zihan was already waiting outside the house.

I was wandering back and forth when I heard the sound of horses walking, so I looked towards the side where the sound came from.

I saw Xie Sining riding a horse and stopping at the gate of the county government office.

Then he got off his horse and tied the rope to the stone pier beside him.

"Why are you here alone?"

Walking up to him and listening to his question, Xie Sining replied: "My husband is weak and sick, and he can't bear to be frightened, so he didn't come."

"And this matter has nothing to do with him. If you want to ask anything, just ask me. What does he know as a scholar about things in this field?"

Gu Zihan nodded and said nothing.

The two of them have met a few times and they are considered to be close friends, and he more or less knows what kind of temperament she is, and they are straightforward.

After two or three sentences, Duan Zihan led her into the county office.

"Let me tell you that your county magistrate is really full and has nothing to do. He doesn't think about how to feed and clothe the people every day, but he doesn't see us well."

All the way into the county government office, Xie Sining didn't treat Duan Zihan as an outsider, and directly complained about their master.

Duan Zihan smiled helplessly.

"Actually, we can't blame our lord, it's not our lord who wants to see you today."

Xie Sining stopped walking when he heard this, and frowned at the person who said this.

"It's not that you adults want to see me? Who is that?"

"It's the adults above, but you don't have to worry, he just wants to ask these things clearly, as long as he answers truthfully, he won't embarrass you."

Although he said so, Xie Sining still felt that this matter would not be so easy.

"I told the truth that day, you must believe me."

After hearing what she said, Duan Zihan didn't say anything, and led her to the yard behind the county office.

In the yard, there was a man in casual clothes who was practicing with a sword. He looked about fifty years old.There were also two people accompanying him, one of them was the magistrate of the county government office, and the other was the master.

The last time Xie Sining sent the group of people who wanted to make money and kill them, he had seen them, so he knew them.

The adult practicing sword moves very slowly, he is not really practicing martial arts, but just practicing to strengthen his body.

But when Xie Sining stepped forward, the adult suddenly turned around with his sword and went towards her.

Xie Sining stood still.

The point of the sword came straight towards her face, and finally stopped a punch away from her.

His lord was obviously a little surprised when he saw that she was calm in the face of danger, and she didn't panic like this. Then he put away his sword and carefully looked at the woman in front of him.

The woman in front of her was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but her eyes were very steady, not like what she should have at her age.

At that moment just now, even Duan Zihan was taken aback, he really thought that the lord was going to be unfavorable to Xie Sining.

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.

Then he hurriedly reported, "My lord, this is the lady of the Gu family in Yuanxiang Village. It was she who led the villagers to produce vegetables and food in winter."

After hearing Duan Zihan's report, the lord narrowed his eyes slightly, and became more curious about the woman in front of him.

"Miss Gu's family, this is the prefect of Yuzhou, please meet me soon."

The last sentence of Duan Zihan lowered his voice to remind.

Prefect?

Xie Sining was slightly surprised, and then bowed politely.

"The woman has seen the prefect."

At this time, the prefect had put the sword back into the scabbard and handed it to the master to keep it, and then he spoke.

"You're the one who can grow vegetables and food in the cold winter? I don't think that's the case!"

Hearing this, Xie Sining raised his eyelids and glanced at the prefect in front of him.

"I don't think you look like a prefect."

"Bold!"

The county magistrate at the side immediately scolded, but the prefect raised his hand to stop him.

Instead of being angry, the prefect looked at the woman in front of him curiously.

"Tell me, why don't you look like this official?"

"As a prefect, you should benefit one side and think more about the people. However, last year when the food was collected and taxed, the imperial court took almost all the surplus food from the people's homes, and they couldn't even eat. Not only did you not think of a way to solve the problem of everyone's hunger , On the contrary, it makes things difficult for ordinary people like us, which is really not what a prefect should do."

Since Xie Sining is here, she is naturally not afraid of anything, she has a straight temper, she can say whatever comes to her mind, she is not afraid of the eunuch getting angry.
