Farmer’s Blessed Girl

The girl led them around the main courtyard and went to the back. When they reached the courtyard of the study, they happened to meet a young lady who turned around with a disappointed face, and saw Zhou Man and the three couldn't help but stop, "Xiuhong, who are these three? "

Xiuhong stopped with a smile and said, "Miss Biao, this is the uncle's guest."

She hesitated for a while, and then introduced her to Zhou Man and the others, "This is the cousin of our house."

Seeing that she seemed to be a little older than her, Man Bao smiled and saluted, "So it's Miss Biao."

Seeing that she was doing Confucian rituals, Miss Biao hesitated for a while before squatting down and performing her own rituals, but seeing that Xiuhong did not intend to introduce, she felt a little embarrassed for a while.

Man Bao also glanced at Xiuhong, then introduced himself with a smile: "My name is Zhou Man, these are my two junior brothers."

Bai Shan and Bai Erlang also saluted, then stopped awkwardly and looked at each other.

Seeing that they seemed to have nothing to say, Xiuhong reminded: "Miss Man, Young Master Bai, my uncle is still waiting."

The three nodded to Miss Biao, then smiled and went into the yard with Xiuhong.

Xiuhong only sent people to the gate of the courtyard, and someone from inside came out to pick them up.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief when they entered the study, and couldn't help but laugh when they looked at each other.

Magistrate Tang sat by the fire and filled tea. Seeing it, he asked, "What funny thing happened? Let's hear it."

"No," Bai Shan naturally wouldn't say in front of the host that the host's servants are not, not to mention it's not a big deal, he pulled Man Bao to sit down on the low stool beside the stove, and smiled: "Why only Nothing to eat for tea?"

Tang He turned his head and said to Yang Heshu, "After a trip to Xiazhou, why are you all so greedy when you come back?"

Yang Heshu smiled and said: "Before Xiazhou lacked meat and vegetables, and suddenly returned to the capital, I naturally wanted to make up for it."

Tang He asked, "Will it be difficult for you to take over Xiazhou now?"

Yang Heshu smiled lightly, "The hardest time has been passed. No matter how difficult it is in the future, can you still be sad about the four months' worth of it?"

Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, who had experienced in Xiazhou, nodded together, yes, no matter how difficult it is, is it still difficult when the epidemic is rampant?

Tang county magistrate asked: "Those people in Xiazhou hate you..."

"Niu Kang will be released in a few days," he said. "He didn't introduce smallpox maliciously, so the law cannot ask him for the crime. With him and the Niu family, he wants to turn me away. It's not hard to have hatred in your body."

Tang He reminded: "Enough is enough."

Yang Heshu: "When I arrive in Xiazhou, I will persuade the Niu family to leave Xiazhou and return to their hometown to live."

Niu Shishi will definitely not be able to go back. His dereliction of duty this time is serious and considered a felony, and most of them will be sentenced and possibly exiled.

Originally, the Niu family had in-laws in Xiazhou, and Niu Thornshi had been operating in Xiazhou for many years. Even if his Zhishi family could continue to operate in Xiazhou, with the current reputation of the Niu family, there would be no good results for them to stay in Xiazhou. .

In fact, Xiazhou's public opinion has been guided by others before, and Yang Heshu is not ignorant, but the city was full of sorrows at that time, he knew that everyone needed a vent, if he fought with them immediately, not to mention the harm to the survivors, right The blasphemy of the dead, for him, may not necessarily win.

But he has left Xiazhou now, and even his wife and children have avoided the village outside the city. At this time, it is more convenient for him than disadvantage for the people to talk about it.

Humans are always naturally inclined towards the weak, especially if they haven't made a big mistake, within all the righteousness.

In front of the four of them, he didn't hide his scheming, and even taught the ignorant Bai Shan to say, "Sometimes it's better to show someone's weakness instead of being weak."

Tang county magistrate tutted: "You are not a gentleman at all. Be careful to teach them badly. Mr. Zhuang will come to you to settle accounts."

Yang Heshu laughed and said, "You're right."

So don't mention it anymore.

Bai Shan and the others were a little disappointed.

Man Bao was going to see Imperial Physician Xiao in the afternoon. He was not very free. He came here today because he was worried about Yang Heshu.

So they left after having lunch at Yang's house.

The meal was used in the study, and Yang Heshu didn't let them go to see the elders in his family, but sent the four of them to the side yard. After watching them get into the carriage, they nodded and watched them leave.

When the two carriages had gone out, the smile on his face faded, he tilted his head and said to the servant at the side: "Go and ask Wan Tian, ​​who led Miss Man and the others to the study this morning. Yes, who did you meet or see on the way?"

The servant responded and waited for the uncle to go back to the study before going to Wan Tian.

However, Wan Tian came over within a quarter of an hour, and started talking about Zhou Man and the others when they got off the carriage, all the way to the study, and said everything in detail.

Yang Heshu is practicing calligraphy and meditation.

Wan Tian said: "Master, do you want to talk to the steward? That girl is too unruly, and they have to let Miss Man and the others speak for themselves."

Yang Heshu said, "She's just not smart enough. Zhou Man and the others haven't taken it to heart. Why should we fight? But the girls in the house are not as good as they used to be."

They didn't even teach well.

Wan Tian lowered his eyes and thought: What is not comparable to the past, it is clear that even the little girl next to the young lady is not comparable to the young lady, and Mrs. Hou does not know how to manage the house...

Yang Heshu looked at the words he had written, frowned slightly, and said, "Pack up, I'm a little ill, and it's hard to recuperate from the busyness of the mansion recently. Let's go to Zhuangzi for a few days, and wait for the official document from the Ministry of Officials to come down to us. Just go."

Wan Tian was stunned for a moment and then asked, "Don't you still want to know if Miss Man and the others are going to the Western Regions?"

"Man Bao said that His Majesty has sent a letter to Anxi. It will take a long time to come back and forth. I'm afraid there will be no results in a while. Let's go back to Xiazhou and wait. When they go to the Western Regions, they have to go from Xiazhou. passed."

Wan Tian thought so too, so he turned to clean up.

They had only been home for two days, and they had very little luggage, so they didn't need to pack at all and left in one roll.

Yang Houye was not at home, and when he came home in the afternoon to find out, his sons all went out of the city to live in the village, the housekeeper sweated on his forehead and said, "This servant sees the uncle's bad health, so it's better to take a dip in the soup spring, it's only February. Well, when the cold wind from the north blows, it's cold to the core."

Lord Yang glanced at him and said: "You don't need to make up for him, he must be disgusted by the guests disturbing him too much."

Yang Houye was a little angry at first, and he would live in another courtyard outside the city when he came back, and he had not spoken to him.

But after getting angry, thinking of his son who lost so much weight, he felt distressed, so he waved his hand and said: "Forget it, he can go if he wants, and let someone send him something. Xiazhou is desolate and there are many good things. Now that he is in the capital, he will take the opportunity to make up for it."

Look at how thin this is. When I went to Luojiang County to be the county magistrate, it was not so miserable. Xiazhou is still a prefecture, hum.

See you tomorrow
