Notes on Leisurely Living in the Farm

Chapter 84

A piece of imperial court's decree for promotion makes Yiyou feel mixed.Although Mu Ran was also comforting, the Lifan Academy was far away in Yuejing, and the Chen family was basically in Yuejing.But she has the memory of her previous life, and she knows how powerful the Chen family is.

Take a small thing as an example. There is a two-foot-long red coral ornament in Chen Deren's study.This red coral is a tribute from the Nanyang island countries and is generally owned by the royal family.In the previous life, when the love was strong, Chen Deren once showed off to her that the coral ornaments were probably not even available to the princesses and princes in Beijing.

The eldest princesses of Dayue were all the daughters of the late emperors. The older ones were born in the end of the world. They followed the late emperors for half their lives.The first emperor was in a hurry to promote several princesses to eldest princesses, and once again granted the title of Shiyi Qianhu.As for those princes, they even led the troops to fight in person back then, and now their respective statuses are even higher than that of the Eldest Princess.

That's it, the coral ornaments still appeared in Chen Deren, the second son's mansion of the Chen family's direct branch.This shows the power of the Chen, Wang, and Chang families in Beijing.

"When the soldiers come, the water will be blocked, and the earth will be covered. General Liao once said this. Although the career has ups and downs, is he not very good now?"

Yi You was full of disapproval: "In the past ten years, your husband should know a thing or two about General Liao's life. General Liao's military achievements are outstanding, and he has already stood like a towering tree in Dayue. And we are like the shade of trees. The weeds under the ground can be eradicated with a light touch."

Mu Ran has feelings for Qi Ran, but he knows that at this moment he needs to have a backbone.

"The one who should come will always come, and my husband will stand in front of me when the time comes. What we should do now is to congratulate the county magistrate for his promotion."

Yiyou is not a stubborn person, she also understands now.A strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake, and the county magistrate is that local snake, if he has a good relationship with him, he can sit back and relax by taking care of each other when the time comes.

"That's natural. I'm going to take all the remaining veils with me."

On that day, Mrs. Li embroidered twelve squares, and she sent out two squares, and the women in the family kept one side, and now there are six squares left, which are plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and a pair of mandarin duck handkerchiefs.

"Mother's heart, it's better to keep it. When I came back from the capital, General Liao gave me two jars of century-old wine. In my opinion, I don't want to use that."

Yiyou was grateful for his thoughts, but still shook her head: "Combined with the old wine from your husband, the New Year's ceremony is considered appropriate."

Mu Ran agreed, but he remembered that if he was promoted in the future, he must find a better-looking veil for his daughter-in-law.

As the sun rose high, Duanyang parked the carriage at the gate of the county government office.Before Yiyou could enter the main room, he heard the voices of people inside.

There are not many officials in Yun County, but there are quite a few, and now they are gathered together, complimenting Mrs. Zhang with smiles all over their faces.

"Mrs. Mu is here."

When Yiyou walked in, Zhang Shi patted the seat on the right: "Come and sit."

She sat side by side with Sister Qiao at the top, looking at the graceful and luxurious wives below.Except for her and Qiaojie, the youngest person in the room is Zhang Shi.Most of the conversations among women are about the children of the family.

"Brother Rui will take the imperial examination next year, and he will definitely be named on the gold list. Then my wife will also be blessed."

Mrs. Zhang responded with a smile: "Mr. Tie is in charge of our academy. With him, Yun County has produced many outstanding talents over the years."

Yiyou had already heard from Mu Ran that there are other scholars teaching the Four Books and Five Classics in the official school, but the head of the mountain is Mr. Tie.Mr. Tie can teach without discrimination, as long as he is obedient and willing to learn, he is willing to accept even the qualifications.Back then, Chunsheng belonged to another category. He belonged to the extra name, and he was compiled separately at his own expense.

"Iron Immortal is extremely talented, thanks to his willingness to condescend to be in our official school. Speaking of this official school, the one with the highest qualifications is Mrs. Shen. I heard from my grandson that his name is Chunsheng. This year he was [-] years old, so he wrote it like this." A splendid article."

Yiyou recognized that it was the wife of another chief bookkeeper who was speaking at the moment. Coincidentally, her husband's family name was also Chen.

Before, she thought it was a coincidence, but before they got married, sister Qiao accidentally said that the master book was previously a book boy in front of the magistrate, and was recommended by the magistrate to work in the county government.

"Everyone knows he's a spy, but we can't do anything about it. It's my mother's way to keep them honest."

Sister Qiao said that at the time, with a bit of gnashing of teeth in her words.After getting in touch with her slowly, she also knew that this master had restrained Chen Xiancheng for a few years. Zhang's life must have been difficult in those years, so Sister Qiao had a bad impression of him.

"Is this really the case?"

The thin one is Mrs. Tie. Unlike Mr. Tie who hides in the mansion all day long and devotes himself to research without leaving home, Mrs. Tie is a passionate woman.However, it seems that all the wisdom of this family is concentrated on Mr. Tie, and Mrs. Tie has a straightforward temper.

Yiyou was a little uncomfortable before, but after getting in touch with her a lot, she felt that such a straightforward temperament was really reassuring, so she gradually became intimate.

At this moment, Mrs. Tie looked at Yiyou: "Isn't that your cousin?"

The chief secretary's wife smiled, and there was malice in her eyes.Yiyou was helpless, this time the county magistrate was promoted, and Mu Ran contributed the most in it.Zhizhou is also considered an official in Dayue, and the county magistrate has been evaluated as excellent for five consecutive years, which is enough to attract attention, and no one will be against him at this moment.From Yuejing to Yunzhou, most of the eyes were on the couple.

"That's natural. Chunsheng has been eager to learn since he was a child, and the clan gave him silver to send him to government school."

Seeing her generous admission, the master's wife was a little unbelievable: "But my young man said that when she went out to shop yesterday, she saw the quarrel between your siblings. I heard that you were both injured a little bit?"

After she finished speaking, she hurriedly slapped her mouth: "Look at my mouth, I can't keep the words out of my mouth, Mrs. Mu, don't be offended."

If it was an ordinary person, if they were exposed to scandal in front of so many people, they would have been furious.But it's not the case for Yiyou, so many things happened in Shen's family in the past six months, she doesn't have any face.If she shrinks back again, she is afraid that she will be crushed to death by those who trample her down.

She has done nothing wrong, she is naturally upright.

"It's just children playing around, arguing and fighting, maybe we can just wear a pair of pants when we meet again."

With an understatement, someone immediately nodded.Especially Mrs. Tie, at this moment she has realized that she is being used as a gun again.Secretly said hateful, when Lao Tie was at home, thousands of times told her to be careful about the wife of the secretary, and not to take her words casually, but she always forgot involuntarily.

Lao Tie followed the county magistrate, and Mu lord was another general under the county magistrate, and the two families were as close as one family.

"Mrs. Mu is right. Those boys in my family are also noisy. Children are like that, but after a meal, they will reconcile as before."

Seeing Yiyou smiling at her, Madam Tie felt relieved, she was not afraid of Lord Mu, but she knew which thigh was thicker no matter how stupid she was.The master book was able to be controlled by the Zhang family that day, and the post of the master book of the entire county government was divided into two, and the bookboys of the two adults served concurrently. This shows that the number of master book sections is not enough.

The chief secretary's wife was particularly reconciled: "The children are playing around, bumping into each other is nothing. Sigh, poor Chunsheng's face. The formerly handsome scholar is now red and swollen with scars."

Seeing her reluctance, Yiyou also felt angry.What she was afraid of was the entire Chen family, not this little Mrs. Shu Tong.Although beating a dog depends on the owner, but she can't let the mad dog bite randomly.

"Mrs. Registrar said this, but I thought of one thing. The rich and noble families in this county love to choose husbands for their daughters in the official school. I know the child Chunsheng. He has a good appearance, and he is smart and good at reading. The Shen family has a good fortune." It's not too small, I do understand Madam's love for daughters."

Touching her woman's bun, she was sincerely glad that she was still married.Unmarried big girls can't just open their mouths and keep their mouths shut.

Zhang Shi, who had been watching, put down the teacup: "Speaking of which, I also said something bad. A servant girl died in the mansion yesterday."

Next to her, Madam Wu rushed to catch up: "Madam didn't rest well last night. She is just a servant girl. According to the old slave, she is a poor person. She cannot bear the excessive joy in the house. Since this is the case, Madam should not be too self-confident." Responsibility, good life to arrange for his family."

A faint guess emerged in Yiyou's heart, she looked at Sister Qiao, and saw her pouting at the master's wife, looking like she was watching a show, she also sat up straight.

"Mother Wu, what you said is that Siya's younger brother is Chunsheng. I wanted to give him some money. But now that I think about it carefully, a man will start a family and start a business first. The daughter of the family book will also have fourteen this year. As the saying goes : A third-year female, holding a golden brick, the two are just a good match. Since the master's wife has this intention, then I will be the beauty of an adult."

The chief secretary's wife was stunned for a moment, and Wu's mother said repeatedly: "Master Mu and Mrs. Mu's marriage is also witnessed by Madam. Madam is very lucky. Now that they are beautiful adults, Chunsheng and Miss must be a match made in heaven."

Congratulations sounded for a while, and everyone began to congratulate.No one in the room thought about Chunsheng's wishes for mother and child.In their view, there is such a dishonorable father, who can marry the daughter of an official family is the smoke from the ancestral grave. Doesn't he cry with joy when he hears about it?

Yiyou lowered her eyes, she always had a little fear of Chunsheng.Although this younger brother has bad conduct, he has a fair appearance and is really good at reading.If he was allowed to join the master book and get mixed up with the Chen family, it would be a big trouble at that time.

The voices below were once again noisy, Qiao Jie came over and asked in a low voice: "Why are you so sad?"

"Chunsheng almost hates me, what if he has a powerful Yue family?"

Qiaojie laughed: "What should I say about you? When Zhuge Wolong was alive when you were the master, you could win the favor of the Chen family, and even try your best to cultivate his son-in-law?"

It's as if Yiyou has been opened up to the two veins of Ren and Du. Yes, the Chen family seems to be glamorous, but the direct branch, the side branch and the party members attached to outside, this is such a huge group.With the slightest ability of this book boy to be easily grasped, he might have become an outcast of the Chen family long ago.How much chance does a son-in-law who has abandoned his son have in his career?

Chunsheng reads well, so his wife is destined not to be a country woman.Instead of letting him have an unpredictable future, he should be crucified now.

Immediately, she took out the pair of silver bracelets from her bosom, although they were intended to be buried with Erya, but she has not spoken yet, so it is not up to her.

"Ma'am, this item is Chun Shengniang's favorite item, and it fell into my hands. Although this bracelet is not expensive, it has the name of the Shen family engraved on the inside. It is better to hit the sun, or to exchange tokens first."

Mrs. Zhang took it, and after examining it, she seemed quite satisfied: "I think it's ok. I'll wait until next year to try Chunsheng High School. Things may change, so it's better to settle it early."

The stupefied madam finally regained her senses. She thought of the pig-headed Chunsheng that the servant was talking about. The only unmarried girl in the family is her young daughter, who has been very delicate since she was a child.Although she is not as beautiful as Mrs. Mu, she is still a great beauty.She has already received the news that after the palace examination next year, it will be the draft that Dai Yue has not held for a long time.With the appearance of a girl, she will definitely win the favor of noble people.After giving birth to a son and a half daughter, their whole family will benefit endlessly.How could such a good opportunity fall into the hands of a poor scholar.

"This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run..."

Mrs. Zhang interrupted her directly: "Just now, Mama Wu has gone to invite Mr. Tie, and the birth date of these two people."

The fast-talking Mrs. Tie came out: "My old Tie is the most proficient in this one. Don't worry about Mrs. Master, his calculations are not bad."

Yiyou covered her face and raised the corners of her lips, she only felt the beauty of Mrs. Iron today.Obviously there is no malice, but they can always hit the right one.I heard that she also married Mr. Tie in place of the eldest sister in the family. The husband and wife have been in the same boat for decades, and they have two sons and a daughter, and their relationship is very strong.And her elder sister, who disliked Mr. Tie's poverty at the beginning, heard that she married into a big family in Linzhou, and her husband and concubines couldn't be counted in two slaps.

While she was thinking about it, Mama Wu had already walked in and directly showed the paper.There are eight big characters written in block letters on it: "The five elements complement each other, a match made in heaven."

The chief secretary's wife almost collapsed. She suspected the county magistrate's wife, and she would eat melons twice at most.But in Yun County, if she dared to doubt the authority of Tie Shenxian, someone might pour blood on the gate of her house tomorrow.

"This... After all, my girl is not yet old enough."

Mrs. Zhang glanced at her sideways: "What's the matter with you? You just praised Chunsheng just now. Isn't it a sign of appreciation?"

"That's natural."

"Your servant can recognize that Chunsheng. You must have paid attention to him for a long time. I really can't think of a second reason for such a gesture. Since I appreciate it so much, there is no reason for me to be incomplete. Mama Wu, put the bracelet on Pass it along with the batch. Fei Cui, you go to the official school to announce the good news to the Cheng family."

Mama Wu walked over and handed her the bracelet.The chubby body of the chief secretary's wife was staring at the lettering on the inside of the bracelet, she was unwilling to do ten thousand and ten thousand.But she knew better that the land rulers in a county are divided into three levels: officials, officials, and servants.There is a world of difference between these three layers than that of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.

Originally, as the master book, he should be an official.However, the imperial court stipulated that there should be one quota master for each county.Before the county magistrate took office that day, he had already promoted his cronies to be the master book in Beijing.The records of the imperial court are recorded, and the magistrate has no right to change them.Later, the two parties negotiated, and there were two master registers, whose official status fell on the sixth room.With the position of the sixth house, the master book reprimands, and all salaries are also compared with the master book.

So in these years, although the master book's score was displayed outside, everyone present knew that her husband was just an embarrassing figure who was not an official and was guarded by the county magistrate.The absolute disparity in status, and the evidence of her son in Zhang's hands, made her dare not speak out to contradict her no matter what.

Turning her head, she looked at Yiyou who was at the side, and it was Mrs. Mu.She was full of bad things at such a young age, if it wasn't for her, how could she be forced into this situation.

Yiyou received the venomous gaze and couldn't help crying secretly.Just now, Mama Wu praised her marriage with Mu Ran, which really brought her hatred to its full value.But fortunately, this person was already at odds with her, so it doesn't matter if he adds another one now.

Thinking of this, she raised her lips and smiled: "Look, ma'am, the master's wife is so happy that she can't speak. Looking directly at me, I'm afraid that thinking of her girl's marriage with me in the future will be so comfortable."

"Pfft, how can there be such a boastful person like you."

"Everything I said is true, Mama Wu, don't hesitate to hand over the bracelet to Mrs. Registrar."

Mama Wu stuffed it into her hand, and the chilly temperature touched her hands, and the head secretary's wife's hatred reached its peak.

"Chunsheng is really lucky to have such a considerate cousin! Very lucky!"

Yi Youquan thought she didn't hear her gnashing of teeth: "Madam Miu Zan, although she has left the Shen family, the relatives in her blood are still there. As the eldest sister, I have to teach my younger siblings well. Now they are ignorant, and in the past After a few years, I knew that I was doing this for his own good. For this reason, even if I was misunderstood by some people who don't know the truth, I would not hesitate to do so."

In the end, she held her head high and held her chest high, with awe-inspiring righteousness.

Mrs. Iron clapped her hands: "Although Mrs. Mu is young, she is transparent. The two boys of my family were very skinny when they were young. Every time the old Tie drove them to study with a rattan stick, the two of them gritted their teeth with hatred. Now they A scholar who passed the exam and taught in the government office, everyone is filial."

A discussion about godchildren was in full swing, and the master's wife became an ignorant woman who listened to one side and didn't know the truth.

Seeing that Zhang's water had been added to the second cup, but she didn't seem to want to stop, she finally took off her purse unwillingly and took out a piece of jade.

"Let's say this today. I will discuss it with the master when I return to the mansion. If there is an emergency, it is really helpless."

Mrs. Zhang put away the jade pendant and closed the teacup: "Marriage is a matter of great discretion as a parent, but I believe in Mr. Tie even more. After all, he has never made any mistakes in measuring marriage and feng shui."

Everyone nodded one after another, and the lady in charge returned to her seat, and the silver bracelet she pinched was deformed.Madam's words actually mean that if she withdraws from her marriage, she will not trust Mr. Tie.Even though she had the horoscope of Mr. Tie's test just now, but now that she said it again, it was a fact of the matter.

It's really troublesome, and it's all Mrs. Namu's fault.It's just a village girl, relying on her beauty to be lawless.What happened today was ordered by Mrs. Yin, Zhizhou, and she will report it when she goes back later.She didn't believe that the big Chen family couldn't cure this reptile.

For the grasshopper after autumn, let her jump around for a few days.

Seeing that it was getting late, everyone naturally took their leave.Yiyou was dragged by sister Qiao and stayed until the end.

"I didn't hear clearly just now, how did your good brother Chunsheng provoke you. Speaking of which, you have been laughing and talking about Yanyan these past few months, but I haven't seen you get so angry for a long time."

"Yesterday he grabbed Binglenzi and poked Changsheng's temples and eyes. It happened that I learned a few tricks from Brother Mu and easily defeated him."

Sister Qiao's eyes widened, and she could restore a picture of swords and swords with just a few words.In the flying snow, Yiyou descended from the sky, punched Shen Chunsheng and kicked Cheng Shi.When the snow had just dispersed, she stood between heaven and earth, like a great god of the Wu clan in the Book of Mountains and Seas.

"What are you thinking about? It's just a coincidence that I'm embroidered with fists and legs."

Qiaojie's eyes lit up: "I figured it out, I want to learn martial arts."

Mrs. Zhang took off the heavy jewelry on her head, and when she came out, she heard her daughter's words: "What... are you thinking about?"

"Mother, mother..." Sister Qiao hugged her arm, and said half coquettishly: "Daughter finally understands what I did wrong that day. If my daughter has enough kung fu, she can punch Jiang Chengwen and kick cousin Wang. No longer being frightened by that for no reason. The daughter has a mother, and the backing is strong enough. I have learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting these years, and I have also read classics and history. The only thing I lack now is good martial arts. If someone bullies my daughter again in the future, then I will Then he knocked him to the ground with one palm. With such a combination of civil and martial arts, he will have no worries in this life."

Yiyou and Zhang Shi looked at each other in dismay: "This..."

Knowing that she is lying, but there is really no way to refute it.Yiyou also knows that if a woman in this world meets that cruel husband-in-law, she will be beaten from time to time and have no power to fight back.Of course, there are also literati who moan without illness, saying that the damage to the soul is far more severe and painful than the physical wound.But most of those people are pampered and pampered, and they have never tasted the pain of flesh and blood.

She, who had tried the needle dance in her previous life, felt that a few harsh words were nothing compared to physical torture.

Closer to home, if a woman has the power to protect herself, wouldn't she feel much more at ease.Even if you don't need it, walking around often can keep you healthy.

"Yiyou, tell me."

Although he knew that she was married, Zhang still regarded her as a junior in his heart, and always called her by her first name in private as before.

Yiyou shrugged, she had already been persuaded by sister Qiao, how could she be such a lobbyist again.After searching her stomach, she said dryly: "Sister Qiao, people who practice martial arts often have thick limbs, and their skin is prone to tanning."

Zhang felt something was wrong, and it was too late to stop him.Sister Qiao jumped up and stretched out her arms: "Really, I've always felt that it's not good to be so weak. If I were a little fatter, I would definitely look better. As for tanning, mother, I don't get tanned even when I pee, right? "

Yiyou looked at her slender arms, and then listened to the words in her ear.She always felt that if these words made all the families in Yunzhou go on a painful diet, and only heard it for the slim bride, it might break her heart.It's too much hatred!
Zhang was helpless, but Sister Qiao kept shaking her arm: "Mother, can you promise my daughter?"

The soft words make people unable to think of refusing, but fortunately, Zhang's mind is firm: "Girl, how can I learn to shout, fight, and kill?"

"Didn't mother also learn bow horse riding and archery?"

"I didn't teach you that day."

"That doesn't count. There is a sequence of hearing, and now I have got through that one."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her own mother, Sister Qiao simply came to Yiyou: "My good sister, you are the best, help me persuade my mother. You can learn it. The two of us can learn together. It is not lonely to have a companion. "

Yiyou takes the soft but not the hard, Qiaojie only needs to say twice and she is defeated: "Ma'am, martial arts is hard work, why don't you let her try first?"

"Hey, you two belong to the same country after all. Forget it, there are times when you cry for your father and mother and feel bitter and tired."

Sister Qiao stuck out her tongue: "I don't know how to do it."

The mother and daughter quarreled for a while, and Yiyou finally took out the congratulatory gift she brought: "These are the remaining squares of handkerchiefs, which happened to make up two sets. It would be a waste to keep this in my hands, and it would be a waste of money to follow my wife." Its use."

Giving a gift is a science, you have to make the giver feel that you are willing, and you have to say it happily.After thinking about it for a long time, Yiyou felt that it was actually very simple to achieve these two seemingly difficult points.Over there, try to make the gifts as close as possible to other people's wishes, and when you say it, try to pull it in this direction as much as possible.

Mrs. Zhang was not because of her words, she flipped the handkerchief, happy from the bottom of her heart.Once her husband was promoted, what he brought her was not only the honor of Jin Feng's imperial order, but also all kinds of trivial matters.Today there is a prince and princess who are going to get married in the next year, and the governor of a state has to express himself.Now the double-sided Shu embroidered handkerchiefs of the four gentlemen and the mandarin ducks just solved her urgent need.

"This thing is really beautiful. I also have a decoration in it. The most important thing is the Fengshui of the town house. You can take it back with you later."

If Wang Changyiyou would feel ashamed, but not now, she accepted it generously.

"I have one more thing to do today. Mrs. Xue from the embroidery workshop has already agreed to donate the property to the government."

"really?"

Zhang Shi was really overjoyed, what she fears most now is the rumors.With her father around, the matter of chasing rumors would not have much influence.But if the evidence is convincing, the Chen family will stare at him like a mosquito sees blood until they suck him dry.

"I agree with her. After the property is returned to the government, she will still make a living as an embroidery workshop. Their mother and daughter can continue to live in that property."

What to do is not important to Zhang Shi, she is not short of that money.Even having someone take care of the embroidery workshop saved her a lot of worry.

"That's up to her, I'm not an unreasonable person."

Yiyou breathed a sigh of relief, she knew this was a routine.For example, after Wuguzhai was seized in the previous life, although Master Chang was convicted, the property under his name was just a different shopkeeper, and he was still doing his old job.

"One more thing, I want to separate half of the store, and do some small business with my natal mother."

Zhang Shi waved his hand casually: "These are all up to you."

At this point, the shop that has been planned for more than half a year is finally available, and Yiyou feels indescribably relieved.The embroidery workshop occupies a huge area, even if it is half of it, it is worth some small shops on the street.Moreover, it and the courtyard house are both in Yongpingfang, and they will arrive within a short walk.In this way, Mrs. Li can make steamed buns at home, and then take them over there to steam and sell them immediately.

Seeing her relaxed appearance, Mrs. Zhang was a little amused: "You child, if you are short of shops, just ask me directly. Why go around such a big circle and waste a lot of effort."

Yiyou could tell that she was just joking, she knew Zhang Shi was good to her.But no matter how good she is, she is not Qiaojie, and she can't trouble Zhang Shi without limit.She has benefited enough from the county government these days, and now that she has no worries about food and clothing, she wants to rely on herself.Only by doing it step by step, one day she will have the skill and experience of Zhang Shi.

"Madam has given up Wu Qiong Pavilion to the Mu family. This is a great kindness. How dare I be greedy."

It was this sense of propriety that made Mrs. Zhang feel particularly appreciative.Thinking about the letter from her natal family, she thought twice and decided to speak out.

"It's Chinese New Year, I thought everyone would be clean, but now it's not possible."

Sister Qiao had already run out, happily looking for a servant to make the tight-fitting martial arts uniform, as well as a weapon for the county magistrate to fight.Now all the servants in the main room have retreated, only Yiyou and Zhang Shi are left.Seeing her serious expression, Yi You couldn't help becoming nervous.

"What did the lady say?"

"This matter has not been decided yet, I think I will let you know. When Kaichun Sheng writes, I will also move to the Yunzhou government office. The next owner of the Yunxian government office has a lot of secret disputes in the court. "

"Dispute? Could it be that the magistrate was ordered by the magistrate earlier?"

This is what Mu Ran told her. After serving as the director for a long time, if the merits are justified, most of them will be directly promoted to the county magistrate.

Zhang smiled: "Why don't you guess it's Mu Ran?"

Yiyou shook her head: "Brother Mu has never read a few books of sages. Although he is flawless in his conduct, he is really not good at dealing with correspondence. After much deliberation, the Master Registrar is more suitable."

"This was the case in the past few years, but it is not the case now. Dayue has an imperial examination every three years, and there are more than a hundred top three Jinshi alone. Although there are many prefectures and counties in Dayue, they have accumulated over the years, and now the six departments are redundant. So, naturally They need to be dispatched locally.”

Zhang paused: "Perhaps other counties still have old customs, but Yun County does not. You should know that I am Yunzhou, which is only one state away from Yuejing. And the other side of Yunquan Mountain is the sea, where generations of Japanese pirates Rampaging. The Yunzhou garrison was set up to monitor the Japanese pirates. The imperial court will not despise such visceral places."

"So that's the case. I don't know who the new county magistrate is?"

"It hasn't been decided yet, but now the Yunzhou Supervisor is the nephew of General Liao, and my husband also has a feeling of respect for General Liao. The Zhizhou Supervisor joined forces and controlled this place under General Liao. This is naturally the dignitary's disapproval." Arrived. Yun County is adjacent to Yunquan Mountain, and the county is fertile and fertile for thousands of miles. It is an important place in Yunzhou. In my opinion, the county magistrate will be selected from those few dignitaries this time."

Yiyou only felt a dark cloud quickly enveloping her heart. Dayue combined the county magistrate and magistrate into one, and the county magistrate was the overlord of the county's parents.Although Mu Ran is a county lieutenant, his actions are under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate.

"How can this be good?"

"Don't be overly afraid. We have been operating here for nearly 20 years. How could it be that an imperial decree can be changed?"

That's true, since the Zhang family can defeat Chen Deren, a small county magistrate, who is still begging for a living under Zhizhou's subordinates, why is she worried?
"It all depends on Madam."

Zhang's heart is confident, but she doesn't want to be so full of words: "In the end, I can get through it, but in the beginning, you may suffer some hardships."

Qiaojie finished arranging everything, and ran in from the outside: "Hard work, mother, it seems that I still have to practice martial arts, so that I can avoid suffering when I meet others in the future."

Mrs. Zhang glanced at her sideways, but still couldn't help laughing: "This girl can talk nonsense."

"How can I? I heard clearly just now. Yiyou, don't worry, those who come from powerful families, because they were pampered and enjoyed the world's happiness since they were young, are most greedy for life and afraid of death. You are so heroic, Brother Mu, when the time comes, go to him One stop, full of aura will surely frighten him, so you don't have to be overly afraid."

However, Yiyou really knows that in the swampy southwest Miao Village, the county magistrates who usually go there will be controlled by the local tribal leaders.If he is obedient, then he will live in peace, but if he is not obedient, he will soon die due to acclimatization.

Although she can't be so blatant in Yunzhou, she is well aware of the deterrent effect of force.

Sister Chaoqiao nodded, she kept this matter in her heart.Seeing that Madam Wu was going to deliver lunch, she hastily resigned from the meal and walked out of the house alone.

The snow beside the stone lion outside the door had not melted, and she saw a tall figure from a long distance away.

"Brother Mu."

"Yiyou, I've just finished discussing with the county magistrate, and I'm waiting for you to go home by the way."

The two yamen servants guarding the gate watched their hearts carefully. Did they know that Mr. Mu had been waiting in the gatehouse for half an hour, during which time he even changed a pot of hot tea.When he came last time, he just brushed the snow off Mrs. Mu's boots, but now he just sits and waits like this within two days.

The glamorous Mrs. Mu is indeed a tigress, we'd better stay away.

The thoughts of the two of them didn't affect Yiyou, she walked in, feeling the heat from Mu Ran's body that hadn't dissipated.Walking all the way from the study room, his cotton robe will definitely be completely cool by now.Now, looking toward the porter, she whispered:
"Husband, don't wait any longer in the future. With Duan Yang driving, I will be fine."

After being found out, Mu Ran was not annoyed: "Mu Yu has gone to Shen's house to practice calligraphy with Chang Sheng. I am fine at home alone, so I will stand here for a while."

The two mothers who followed Yiyou loaded the ornament into the carriage, and they sat in and began to walk back.Along the way, Yiyou also learned about the new county magistrate that Zhang said one by one.

Mu Ran frowned: "It is indeed a little troublesome, but it is not big."

These words miraculously calmed Yiyou's restless heart, and Mu Ranruo patted her chest and said nothing happened, so she really wanted to worry.But now that he said this, he must have been sure in his heart.

"Tell me, why can't we always hide from the Chen family?"

Mu Ran patted her on the back lightly: "You don't have to take it too seriously, there will always be a way."

Yiyou also quickly came out of the dullness, and started to talk to him about the secretary's wife.Mu Ran listened, catching up with a few words from time to time, the carriage drove quietly, breathing in the smell of his body between the questions and answers, and her mind gradually became happy.
