After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Zhuge Buliang took a deep breath and took another step forward:
"I am a scholar, so I am not afraid. It seems that the girl's experience is very miserable...Does the girl have relatives in Youdu County?"

"No."

"...Girl, sit down for a moment. I'm going to borrow some rice."

"Thank you sir!"

In this way, Yuehong stayed.

The next day, she didn't leave.

Three more days passed and she still didn't leave.

But Xiaocui was sent away.

She had lived alone in Kyoto for many years, and she was not a popular lady who opened her mouth and stretched out her hands when food came.

She put on Zhuge Buliang's shabby clothes and began to take care of the housework in this small thatched cottage.

Although the movements were a little slow due to injury, they were done in an orderly manner.

As a result, Zhuge Buliang's thatched cottage gradually came to life.

She picked up the broom and cleaned the small yard every day.

But she also wore a hijab, covering her very scary face.

Zhuge Buliang didn't know that the scars on her face were gradually fading away.

There is quite a tacit understanding between the two.

Zhuge Buliang didn't ask about her family background.

And she didn't ask Zhuge Buliang what he was doing when he went out early and came back late every day.

But when Zhuge Buliang returns home every day, the lights at home are always on, there is always a pot of freshly brewed tea and a bowl of hot rice on the table.

This made Zhuge Buliang feel a different kind of warmth, thinking that maybe this was home!

That's it, until ten days later.

That is August 25, the 23th year of Zhaohua.

When Zhuge Buliang went out but did not return, Yuehong closed the door, took a ladle of water, and took off the face towel. She was looking at the face in the water.

He reached out and touched it. The scars on his face faded a little, but they were still obvious.

The healing medicine has been used up and I have to wait for Xiaocui to buy it again.

Relying on the medical skills Fan Lihua taught her, she believed that in three to five years, the scars on her face would completely fade away. Even if there were still some traces left, she only needed to apply some foundation to cover them up. .

Girls still love beauty after all.

She smiled happily.

Xiaocui returned to this thatched cottage from Youdu County.

When she pushed the door open, she happened to see the smile on her face.

It’s been a long time since the young lady smiled like this. She looks so beautiful when she smiles!

Xiaocui walked over and placed a wooden box on the table, "It's all in here, as well as the lady's jewelry slaves."

Saying this, Xiao Cui put down another cloth bag from her shoulder and took out some clothes from it.

"My slave has also brought the two new dresses that Miss made that day. Miss, please try them on to see if they fit you."

Yuehong picked up a piece of clothing, unfolded it and looked at it.

She didn't try it, but put it in the bag again.

"Put these things away."

"Miss……"

Xiao Cui looked at the large, patched clothes on Yue Hong's body. The green one was a Confucian shirt, which was obviously Zhuge Buliang's sackcloth.

"I think this is good and comfortable."

"Put away all the money, jewelry, and other items, and hide them under the bed... Don't let Mr. Zhuge know."

"Where are the herbs I want?"

"Oh, it's still outside. I'll move in right away."

"Wait a minute, can you hear any news in Youzhou City?"

"I heard that the regent left on the tenth day of the lunar month, and that old man Tian Xiurong is still the prefect of Youzhou. I just heard from the neighbors..."

"say what?"

"It's as if Tian Xiurong has become a different person!"

Yuehong was startled, and Xiaocui said again:

"They said that Tian Xiurong never sat in his big sedan chair carried by the eight people. After his wife died, he never renewed his marriage... His two sons were also taken away by the regent."

"They said that all the salt shops in Youzhou City have opened these days, selling salt at a reasonable price."

"They also said that the salt merchants took a huge amount of silver from the Bafu Bank and sent it to the government. I heard that they were going to build a straight road."

Yuehong was surprised again.

"Does it mean that those salt merchants no longer dare to sell official salt privately? They even donated all the money they earned over the years?" Xiaocui nodded, his eyes shining:
"Yes, yes, that's what it means."

"They said they donated hundreds of millions of dollars!"

Yuehong thought for a while, "What is Ning Zhidao?"

"Build a straight and broad road from Youzhou City directly to Yanjing City in Youdu County!"

"They said that the regent will build Yanjing City within five years and move the capital from Yujing City to here..."

"Then the regent is also a weirdo. How nice is Jade City? This place is so desolate. It's hard to imagine becoming Kyoto."

"Oh, yes, miss!"

Xiao Cui turned around and looked outside. The sun was setting and there was no one outside.

She leaned over and whispered: "Miss, this Mr. Zhuge, I heard is the magistrate of Youdu County appointed by the regent when he came here!"

Yuehong was immediately shocked and looked at Xiaocui in disbelief:

"he?"

"The magistrate of Youdu County?"

"Yes, I heard that Tian Xiurong will come to visit him soon!"

Yue Hong frowned slightly.

She has never seen such a poor county magistrate!
I have never seen such a busy county magistrate!
A curiosity arose in Yuehong's heart. If he could be appointed as the county magistrate by the regent, then Zhuge Buliang must have some abilities.

These days I know he is a scholar...

Is this the regent that no one can use?

Or does he really have the ability to govern a county?

"I understand, please bring the herbs in and boil a pot of hot water."

Yuehong came to the door and looked into the distance under the sunset.

When the sun sets, it's time for him to come back.

It has been almost half a month since the regent left Youzhou...

Although Yuehong was injured by the regent and her face was disfigured, she had no resentment towards the regent in her heart.

Every night these days, Zhuge Buliang and she would sit in this small courtyard and talk.

Mostly he was talking and she was listening.

The one he talked about the most was the regent!
But he never mentioned that he was the magistrate of Youdu County...

Yue Hong curled up her lips, took a broom from the corner, and started sweeping the courtyard again.

Although this yard is extremely simple, it is very clean.

Living like this, she felt more comfortable than ever.

Looking back at the small thatched cottage, Yuehong thought to herself, after the autumn harvest, will this house have to be rebuilt?
too small.

It's not a problem for him to sleep in the woodshed every night.

After all, he is the county magistrate.

But if you can’t build it with great fanfare, then let’s build another thatched cottage.

If you are poorer, you will be more stable. I hope this life can last longer.

under the sunset.

Zhuge Buliang came back.

From a distance, you can see the smoke on the roof, and when you get closer, you can see Miss Yuehong sweeping the floor in the yard.

His heart was very warm.

He walked over and took the broom from Miss Yuehong's hand. After all, Miss Yuehong was injured.

Yuehong is not pretentious.

Everything is in perfect harmony.

She smoothed her hair beside her ears and looked at Zhuge Buliang, "Then I'll make you a pot of tea."

"...There is no tea at home."

"Xiao Cui is back. I asked her to buy some tea."

"it is good!"

"I also asked her to buy some cotton cloth. Today is the autumnal equinox, and the temperature in Beimo Road will drop very quickly."

Yuehong sat in front of the stone table in the yard, brewed a pot of tea very familiarly, and said very naturally:

"I'll measure you later. I need to make you two thicker clothes..."

Zhuge Buliang looked at Yue Hong blankly.

Yuehong's face turned red, she bowed her head shyly, and whispered: "Young master can't repay the kindness of taking in this little girl..."

"Young lady, please take your time and retaliate!" (End of this chapter)
