Chapter 695

It is about 2000 miles from Beijing to Quanzhou, and Zhao Caifeng's family walked for more than two months before arriving.

Originally, Carpenter Qian wanted to send them to Quanzhou wholeheartedly, but Zhao Caifeng was not at ease leaving Mrs. Yang alone in the capital. Moreover, Carpenter Qian was also getting old now, and the journey was exhausting after all. , so Zhao Caifeng just refused to let him leave Beijing.

Speaking of which, in the ancient times when information was blocked, when an official traveled thousands of miles to take office, whether he could go anywhere depended on his character. Plots like "Let the Bullets Fly" would really happen.Fortunately, there were soldiers sent by Xiao Yiming to escort them all the way, so there were no forks on the road.

Starting from years ago, when we arrived in Quanzhou, it was already past the second day of February when the dragon raised its head.The local officials had already received the report from the imperial court, so they had been waiting here early in the morning, but they couldn't help being stunned when they saw Song Mingxuan coming.

At first, I only heard that Song Mingxuan was the champion of the last subject, and No. 1 in the Sanyuan of Dayong Lianzhong. Everyone thought that he should be a middle-aged man who had passed his [-]s, but looking at it now, he is gentle and elegant. Gentle and gentle, the characters of Yushu Lanzhi are tender no matter how you look at them!
Although Hui'an is only a small county, as the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road, this place is a mixed bag. The county magistrates who took office here in recent years have either been promoted or entered.But no matter whether it is promoted or entered, in short, this body cannot be clean.

On the first day Song Mingxuan came to Hui'an County, a local rich man brought the keys of the house to the county government, but after he took a look at the dozen or so people in the group, he suddenly didn't know how the house was given away.

Because Quanzhou is too far away, when Zhao Caifeng came, she sent back all her family's maids and servants in the capital, and only two maids bought a few years ago and the nanny of two children came with her.When Xiuyuan was born, Song Mingxuan hadn't won the exam and had no roots at all, so she raised Song Xiuyuan by herself, and later hired an old mother who took care of Song Xiuyuan's daily life, so she didn't come with Lijing this time.

Although Song Xiuyuan was reluctant to part with the nanny, he still said obediently: "Mom, I have grown up and don't drink milk anymore. There are older brothers and sisters in the nanny's family, so I don't want the nanny to follow me."

The nanny's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she pressed her eyes and said: "Eldest young master, just go, when you come back, the nanny will come to the house to serve you."

Song Jingshu's nanny came from a pitiful background, she was the aunt of a wealthy family on Guangji Road, she was kicked out by the main family after giving birth to a son, Huang Ying pitied her for being helpless, so she introduced her to be a nanny in the Song family, and served Song Jingshu wholeheartedly. I put all my thoughts on the child on Song Jingshu.

Xiao Yiming sent Xiao Lingyi over, accompanied by a nanny and a maid, all of whom were carefully selected by Cheng Lanzhi, there was nothing wrong with it.

So in this group, apart from Xiao Yiming's two soldiers, Song Mingxuan was the only man left, and Song Xiuyuan could barely be considered a boy.

It turned out that the county magistrate of Hui'an County had been transferred away, and the master here was only waiting for Song Mingxuan to succeed him. Looking at the family of the county magistrate, the master blew on his goatee and winked at the person who came to give gifts .

"My lord, the county government has a house, but none of the former county magistrates lived in the county government." What should I call the master?In the past, the county magistrate had eighty old mothers and grandchildren waiting to be fed. There were five or sixty people in the whole family, including maids and servants. Two military masters, a group of no more than 60 people.

It's really outrageous for these twelve people to live in that house.

Song Mingxuan glanced at the master, but said respectfully and politely: "Master, you don't have to be busy. The county magistrate doesn't live in the county government office, so where should he live? There are only a few people in my family, and it's enough to have a place to live."

The gift-giver at the side fell silent, looking at the magistrate foolishly.

The house of the county government had been cleaned, and the master invited the police from the county government to help move Song Mingxuan's few belongings in.

Song Mingxuan put stacks of books on the bookshelf himself, Zhao Caifeng wiped the table with a cloth, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, I brought these little books with me, otherwise Xiuyuan would be suffocated along the way."

Along the way, Song Xiuyuan not only finished reading these villain books, but also recited the second half of "The Analects of Confucius".Song Mingxuan felt a headache when he thought of this matter, put down the book in his hand and said: "It seems that I can't wait any longer. Now that I'm a new official, I'm afraid I don't have time to teach Xiuyuan, but I want to hire him a master to start on the right path."

Zhao Caifeng supported her forehead and sighed, Song Xiuyuan is only a child in the elementary class of kindergarten in modern times, and he is about to start learning "Four Books and Five Classics"?

Zhao Caifeng frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Otherwise, let's find a master, start teaching from the beginning, and let Ling Yi learn along with him. Xiao Laosan gave us the child's TOEFL, and I just looked at him with that kind of thought. , anyway, our daughter-in-law, how we want to teach is not up to us?"

Song Mingxuan only smiled and said: "That's good, so the two children can get closer."

In the evening, after the family had had dinner, Zhao Caifeng finally took a rest, and recruited all the servants from the county government to her.These are all locals from Hui'an, and they all speak Hokkien. Although Zhao Caifeng can sing a few Cantonese songs, in fact, Cantonese and Hokkien are not the same language at all, so I had to ask the master to do the translation here.

Fortunately, although these servants speak Beijing dialect badly, they can understand it. If they really don't understand, they can use body language. Zhao Caifeng has finally found a common way of communication all over the world.

Because Song Xiuyuan's nanny didn't come with him, Song Xiuyuan slept with Zhao Caifeng all the way. Now that he arrived at the destination, the room was tidied up. According to reason, Song Xiuyuan should sleep alone.Zhao Caifeng was afraid that he would be scared, so she only let him sleep in the second room to the west of the main room these few days, so that if there was any movement in the middle of the night, she and Song Mingxuan could hear it.

After washing up at night, Zhao Caifeng took Song Xiuyuan to bed. Because Song Xiuyuan couldn't bear Zhao Caifeng, he hugged her waist and asked her to stay with him on the bed.He was clearly so sleepy that he was going to die, but he didn't dare to close his eyes, for fear that Zhao Caifeng would run away as soon as he fell asleep.
