The Golden County Magistrate

Qu Moyue said happily: "You have a good nose! Look at my hands!"

He showed his hands in front of her.

Wei Han was surprised and said: "Your skin is so tender, and the fragrance seems to come from your hands. Did you apply something?"

Bai Lu on the side interrupted and said: "Xianzhiyulu, that's a good thing! The last time Li Rui went to Qingshan County, Lord Chen gave her cosmetics."

Qu Moyue said excitedly: "Sister Li Rui is so nice, she also gave us some. After applying it, I feel that my skin is much more tender!"

Wei Han's expression became a little strange.

Chen Yan gave it to Li Rui?

Since it is such a good thing, why not give it to herself?

Could it be that he is also interested in Li Rui?

This guy, isn't he too sentimental?

"If the princess likes it, I will ask Sister Li Rui to give you some too." Qu Moyue saw that she looked different and said immediately.

"You think it's yours, and you dare to send it casually!" Bai Lu tapped Qu Moyue's forehead and scolded.

Qu Moyue stuck out her tongue and dared not speak.

"Princess, your injury will probably heal in a day or two. After applying the white medicine, there won't even be a scar in the future. But how did you get injured?" Bai Lu asked.

Wei Han was not injured before meeting Tang Yun, so how come there was a cut on her neck after meeting her?

"Nothing, just a little accident."

Wei Han came back to her senses and secretly called it luck.

What Tang Yun didn't know was that she still had something to say.

In Chen Yan's letter, in addition to teaching her how to let Gongsun Cheng go, he also taught her how to deal with it if Tang Yun found out later.

In addition to confessing everything, there was also the trick of committing suicide to apologize.

Chen Yan was sure that Tang Yun would never sit idly by and watch Wei Han really commit suicide.

After all, a useful confidant is very rare.

As expected, Tang Yun made a lot of noise but did little, and did not pursue the matter any further.

In addition, Chen Yan also said something very important.

But it is not time for that matter now. If he is right, there will be a result in the next few days.

By then, Tang Yun will know how important the other result of letting Gongsun Cheng go will be!

…

The fleet went north all the way, passing through Longzhou and Sili, and three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Originally, going by land was the fastest, but this trip was special, so Chen Yan planned a route to bypass various waterways and go by water the entire way.

The advantage of going by water is that it is stable enough. Although there are wind and waves, it is much better than the bumps of going by land.

After all, the roads in Da Zhou are still in tatters, and it is too dangerous to transport gunpowder.

Therefore, although there are no obstacles along the way, it takes much more time than going by land, and only a small part of the journey was completed in three days.

During these three days, Xueyan studied the Rubik's Cube whenever she had free time.

Apart from that, she served Chen Yan "personally" in all the time.

She personally took care of everything, including food, clothing, housing and transportation. In addition to some physical work, Chen Yan even had her help with sleeping.

Fortunately, although Chen Yan teased her every day, he only flirted with her verbally and visually, and never really did anything to her.

After the fleet passed the capital, it turned into the Jingjiang River. After sailing for a day, it stopped at the Jingyang Ferry.

"Why stop here?" Chen Yan was a little surprised.

"Sir, we have to meet an important person here." Xueyan explained while changing his official uniform for him.

"What person can be more important than me, and I have to go to meet him?" Chen Yan was a little dissatisfied.

"The Minister of Winter Affairs, Mr. Jin Zejin of the Water Affairs Department." Xueyan said.

Chen Yan frowned and understood.

The Dongguan is in charge of the Ministry of Works, also known as Jianzuo, which is in charge of the engineering works of the whole country.

This matter involves the river again, so it is normal for Jin Ze, the head of the Water Affairs Department, to be in charge.

"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" he said unhappily.

"I wanted to tell you earlier, but then I forgot..." Xueyan's cheeks flushed and she said embarrassedly.

In the past few days, she has been serving Chen Yan personally, and she is teased and teased every day, which makes her mind confused and embarrassed.

Even if she wants to tell him, this Lord Chen will start teasing her after a few words, so how can she continue?

In addition, she has been focusing a lot on restoring the Rubik's Cube, which is very important, so she has no time to think about other things.

As a result, after arriving at Jingyang Ferry, she suddenly woke up, remembered this important matter, and quickly asked the boat to stop.

Seeing her charming shyness, Chen Yan's heart was moved, and he deliberately said: "I have to wear official uniform, so what are you going to wear? The one you are wearing?"

Xueyan was shocked and embarrassed: "This, this is not okay!"

Chen Yan has a lot of women's shirts that Qing'er accidentally put in the closet. He asked her to change them these days.She has worn a lot of cheongsams, all of which are the type that would make people embarrassed if she wore them outside.

Today she wore a cheongsam with a high side opening, which not only showed her curves very clearly, but also had an opening at the waist!

Moreover, the opening was not just on one side, but on both sides.

As long as she took two steps, the opening would reveal her spring scenery, which was particularly drooling.

To be fair, the clothes were quite beautiful, with exquisite materials and meticulous workmanship.

But if she went out wearing them like this, wouldn't those men take advantage of her?

Chen Yan laughed and said, "I won't tease you anymore, just choose one and put it on."

The plan was to send gunpowder to Jizhou, then start blasting the mountain from this side, gradually blast through it in the northwest direction, and finally blow up the last barrier of Tianxuan Mountain on the Yongzhou side, so that the water of the Fairy River could flow into Jizhou.

But things were not that simple.

Once the river water entered Jizhou, without a suitable river channel to divert it, it would directly wash over the Jizhou plain and cause floods.

Therefore, while blasting the mountain, we also need to start dredging the river in Jizhou.

Fortunately, there are many large rivers in Jizhou. As long as a few checkpoints are dug through, they can be dredged.

Such a project requires at least tens of thousands of workers to be mobilized, so naturally, the court can only organize manpower.

The Zhou Chamber of Commerce was able to open up the channel for river inspection because it reported the solution to Jizhou's major problems to the court. It is normal for the court to send officials to participate and lead.

Therefore, Chen Yan was not surprised that officials would join this trip.

He did not expect, or did not welcome it at all, that the other party would meet him here.

Wouldn't this disrupt his leisurely boat trip?

The other party should go to Tianxuan Mountain first to wait and prepare everything, so that he can start work immediately after arriving.

To put it another way, even if they want to meet here, they should wait at the ferry earlier. It is simply unreasonable for him to ask for it!

Although he was complaining in his heart, he was the Minister of the Winter Office after all, a senior official of the first rank, much higher than the seventh rank county magistrate, so he naturally could not refuse to greet him.

After packing up, the two of them went to the dock with their men to wait.

After waiting for more than an hour, they finally waited for Jin Ze's carriage.

"I am Chen Yan, the county magistrate of Qingshan County, and I pay my respects to the Minister!" Chen Yan immediately changed his expression and stepped forward to greet him warmly.

Jin Ze was about fifty years old, tall and thin, with a long face, a short beard on his chin, and a pair of eyes narrowed into slits, always looking at people with an aggressive feeling.

He got off the carriage, squinted his eyes and looked at Chen Yan for a long time, then said: "Are you County Magistrate Chen? You are so proud that you want me to wait for you here for three days, ha!"

A sneer made Chen Yan clearly feel the dissatisfaction in his words.
