Seeing the honest-faced Mr. Lin, he burst into tears from tears.

The sourness of parting was suddenly dispelled.

"Mr. Lin, wipe it quickly, the mucus is about to flow into your mouth."

Mr. Lin's old face can't be broken anymore.

He took the handkerchief from his wife, covered his face, and waved to the coachman to hurry up.

"Go, go, go quickly."

I really can't stay here.

The people behind him burst into laughter.

Waved to his carriage.

"Congratulations to Mr. Lin on your promotion."

"I wish Mr. Lin a prosperous career in officialdom."

Mr. Lin's cat was in the carriage and he didn't even dare to stick his head out.

He said to his wife in a hoarse voice: "It's only in the past three years that I've been nice to them, and I was forced by Sect Master Nie."

Mrs. Lin also nodded with emotion.

She may not be a good person, but she has really changed a lot in the past few years.

"I don't know what the official who comes later is like."

Master Lin said: "Master Xue will serve here for three years."

"That's it." Mrs. Lin said, "I heard that Mrs. Xue is here. I have only met her once before. She is an excellent woman."

"Mrs. Xue was born in a Hou family, so she is not comparable to us." Mr. Lin didn't care about this.

He fears guilt.

As soon as Mr. Lin left, Xue Mingyi officially took office as the prefect of Hefeng City.

In the past two years, he has become familiar with many things in the city.

Taking office this time was particularly smooth and without any difficulty.

As for Mrs. Xue, she really likes this place.

In Kyoto, the restrictions on women are more cumbersome.

Especially high-class ladies like them are not allowed to leave the house easily.

Now, she can walk around the city without any cover.

He even became obsessed with the gossip among the common people, and occasionally he could chat with them, which was a very good deal.

In the next three years, road construction began in Hefeng City and the southwest region.

Nie Fuyao made cement.

It's just that the output is not high, and it is currently close to Hefeng City.

In three years, Hefeng City changed again.

This time it was Xue Mingyi's turn to leave.

He stayed here for five years.

The worries I had when I arrived are no longer there.

Leaving him at this time was extremely reluctant.

"Sect Master Nie, I am writing to the imperial court that the new magistrate is also a man of both ability and political integrity."

Nie Fuyao smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if he has neither virtue nor talent. In my hands, he will not be able to make waves after all. I am not afraid to transfer those who have both virtue and talent to other places and send some tricky ones. I can also help you train them." Training.”

Xue Mingyi: "..."

He froze.

Immediately he had an enlightenment.

Makes sense.

Mr. Lin in front of him was trained from a mediocre person to a good official by her.

When he was transferred and left, the people gave him the Wanmin Umbrella.

"So, I have to leave quickly. I hope I can make it in time."

This time, when Xue Mingyi left, it was not just the Wanmin Umbrella.

Even Mrs. Xue and some local sisters who had been together for three years cried while hugging each other.

"I'm leaving. If you go to Kyoto for fun in the future, just go to Anqinghou Mansion to find me. We'll get together then."

I thought that after returning to Beijing, I would never have the happy days I had now.

Mrs. Xue cried even more sadly.

She was so miserable that her good sisters were embarrassed to cry.

After saying goodbye, the carriage moved forward quickly.

It was not long after the Spring Festival, and the further north we went, the colder it became.

But the escort likes days like this.

There is no need to change the ice during the journey, and you can reach Kyoto all the way.

And now that the cement road in the southwest section has been repaired, the speed on the road is much faster.

Leaving the southwest, the road becomes bumpy again.Xue Mingyi frowned: "The method has been clearly informed to the court, why is it still like this?"

The big man riding the horse laughed and said: "Those officials in the imperial court are all shrewd. No one is as friendly as our southwest."

Xue Mingyi's mouth twitched.

Are you sure the officials in Southwest China are friendly?

Rather than being suppressed by Sect Master Nie and not daring to resist?
But that’s pretty much what it means.

There must be a disagreement between the DPRK and China, which is why construction has not started yet.

I thought that the cement road in the southwest had begun to be laid in the village, but the dirt road in the north was still full of potholes.

Even if you want to move fast, it is not easy.

Really speeding it up can jolt a person's internal organs.

Arrive in Kyoto.

Xue Mingyi was pulled by the old lady to greet her.

I want to say that my son has lost weight, but I can't do it without my conscience.

I haven't lost weight at all, but my complexion is better, and I look particularly energetic.

After resting in the mansion for two days, someone came to report that a Mr. Lin came to visit.

Xue Mingyi knew who it was as soon as he heard it, so he was invited in.

When Mr. Lin saw Xue Mingyi, his eyes filled with tears.

"Sir, you have returned to the capital."

He said with red eyes: "It's too difficult to be an official in Kyoto."

He wants to return to Hefeng City.

Xue Mingyi: "..."

He asked about some things in the court.

Mr. Lin shook his head and said: "There are intrigues every day. Fortunately, the official position is not high and he knows how to protect himself wisely. Otherwise, not even the bones and scum would be left."

"Their words were so convoluted that the officials' hair was about to fall out."

"Besides, my lord, there are not many people in the household department who work seriously. The lower officials can only do it secretly."

"If I were to be found out and work so hard, I might be ostracized by my colleagues."

"Gao Shangshu has taken advantage of Xianguan's achievements several times, but Xianguan dares to be angry but dare not speak out."

Xue Mingyi didn't feel comfortable hearing this.

After spending several years in the southwest, I realized how unsightly the imperial court was.

A few days later at night.

Mrs. Xue helped him undress.

"Husband, I feel that I am still at home in the southwest."

You can go out when you want, without worrying about encountering thieves.

I also know a lot of handkerchief friends.

There are ladies selling cosmetics, brides from ordinary families, and peasant wives from other families.

She learned a lot of things she had never been exposed to before.

With them, you don't need to be on guard all the time.

We can chat about anything.

He also told them some high-level rules and other rules, and listened to them criticize him.

I can go back to Kyoto and reunite with my former sisters.

We are still the same people, but we always feel uncomfortable.

I wanted to ask them to go for a walk on the street several times, but I couldn't.

I have seen the vast world, but now I am confined to this square mansion.

The feeling of restraint made her almost go crazy.

I even felt depressed and wanted to cry.

She opened an orange and put it into her mouth. The sweet and sour taste made her eyes red.

"Aju gave this to me."

Xue Mingyi knew Aju and his family rented a mountain to grow oranges.

I met his wife when she accompanied her husband to the city to sell oranges.

In the next two years, their family spent almost no money on the oranges they ate.

They were all given to Madam by Aju.

"It won't be so easy to eat freshly picked ones in the future."

Mrs. Xue looked at her husband and said, "Husband, can we go back to Hefeng City again?"

Although when I first went there, I got sick a few times due to acclimatization, but I gradually adapted to it.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is very suitable for retirement. (End of chapter)
