Liaozhai Great Sage

As daughters, Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi naturally had to wear sackcloth and filial piety.

Because Li Xiuyuan and Fu Qingfeng had already made a marriage contract, he also went to Fu Tianchou's grave to pay homage. As for Fu Tianchou's soul, he had not encountered it.

The first seven have already passed, and they must have been taken to the underworld.

He didn't look for it on purpose, otherwise the old man would have to babble about the truth of eating the king's salary and worrying about the king's worries, so let him stay in the underworld.

And because of Fu Tianchou's death, Li Xiuyuan and Fu Qingfeng's marriage was also postponed.

Take office and hand over government affairs.

Five days later, Li Xiuyuan has officially become the governor of Yangzhou.

Being an Inspector is not busy, as long as the officials under his arrangement are diligent and there are no major disasters in the area under his jurisdiction, the Inspector is very leisurely. He only writes some memorials occasionally, and lists his achievements and mistakes. At the same time, he pays taxes twice a year. Just pay on time.

It's just that Li Xiuyuan's status as the governor is a bit special.

It was not rewarded by officials, but snatched by oneself.

As long as there is no rebellion, he has the final say on all major military and political affairs in Yangzhou.

Li Xiuyuan only plays once a month, pays taxes normally twice a year, and maintains the dignity that the court should have. As for other matters, he will not let Zhao Jing intervene, and even some officials under his command are transferred by him. Leave, dismiss, and replace with your own people.

Although it is not the work of honest officials to form parties and private parties.

But the way of self-preservation cannot be abandoned.

How can he keep his family safe if he doesn't take the iron barrels operated by Yangzhou?

It's been less than a month since I took office.

However, Li Xiuyuan said to several wives and concubines at the Governor's Mansion this day: "Right now, Qingfeng is still keeping a filial piety. Although it is not appropriate at this time, I can't let others wait forever. I still have a concubine in a certain county. I should go and fetch it now." Please, please hide this matter for me."

He looked at Qing'e, Qingmei and Third Sister Hu and said humanely.

"Husband, you are really flirtatious. Not long after you took office, you thought about the concubine outside." Qingmei cast a sneer, but she didn't mean to blame.

Since ancient times, how can the rich and powerful not have wives and concubines in groups, and beautiful and numerous wives and concubines are often a symbol of a man's status.

Only guarding his wife at home is the practice of a worthless person in the eyes of the powerful.

Many times, even if Li Xiuyuan didn't say anything, the wife beside him would try to get a concubine for him.

This is the way things are, it's impossible.

"Is that Qiurong? It's not bad." Third Sister Hu said with winking eyes, "Husband, it's her luck that you can see her. I will accompany you for a walk."

Qing'e said: "Third sister is pregnant, her morality has already declined, and there will be times when spellcasting will not be effective, so you should stay at the mansion, I will go with my husband."

Be careful sailing for ten thousand years, Qing'e followed not because of jealousy, but to protect Li Xiuyuan's safety.

His righteousness can ward off the ghosts and spirits of the world, but he has lost the power of the gods. After all, he is an ordinary person, and he can't detect many dangers. If there is a thousand-year-old fox girl watching by him, he can act as Li Xiuyuan's eyes to ensure nothing goes wrong.

"Husband, have you prepared the gift for accepting a concubine?" Qingmei smiled lightly.

"Not yet." Li Xiuyuan said.

Qingmei said: "Let the slaves and Xiaodie prepare for it. There must also be horses and ceremonies. Husband, don't ride a horse alone. It's very disrespectful. Although Husband doesn't care, Qiu Rong The girl's parents don't think so, and the etiquette of the world still needs to be done according to the world."

"Xiaomei was right in reminding me." Li Xiuyuan said.

The next day.

His guard of honor car of the governor of Yangzhou drove out of Yangzhou City.

Taking the gift of concubine, he went to the county where Qiu Rong was located.

Along the way, Qing'e was with her to ensure that she would not be harmed by villains.

In a merchant's home in a certain county.

A young and beautiful woman was sitting in the boudoir, propping her head up and looking out of the window, looking forward to the dark and the dawn, hoping that the days would soon pass.

"Qiu Rong, what are you looking at? It's not like you don't know Mr. Li didn't come so soon. It will take more than 20 days for him to report back to Yangzhou. After Yangzhou takes office, he will come here to accept you. It won't take two months. I have arrived. Do you really think Mr. Li will fall from the sky while looking at the sky all day?" The figure of a quiet woman appeared on the side.

It was Xiao Xie, a female ghost.

On that day, Qiurong was arranged by Li Xiuyuan to go home for refuge, and she also took the opportunity to follow.

He only thought that Qiu Rong would be taken away by Mr. Li one day, and he could also see Mr. Li again.

"Xiao Xie, do you think your husband won't come?" Qiu Rong asked melancholy again.

Women always worry about gains and losses.

Xiao Xie smiled and said, "What stupid things are you talking about? Mr. Li is a grown man. He has met your father and expressed his desire to take you as his concubine. Your father also agreed. Why didn't he come to pick you up? You I also need to be more considerate of Mr. Li. He is a high-ranking official and he is busy with affairs. It is not easy to find time. When you are in the capital, you still need to handle government affairs for Mr. Li, but you don’t believe it and broke your official seal. .”

When it comes to this matter, Qiu Rong is sweet and shy.

"Well, that wasn't intentional, my husband has already punished me."

"Hehe, how did you punish her? Is this the punishment?" Xiao Xie walked over and touched her buttocks.

Qiu Rong only felt a chill, but the shame in her heart was even stronger, and her face was instantly flushed.

But when the two were laughing and playing, a servant girl from the mansion hurried over and said, "Miss, Miss, that Mrs. Li is here. It's very lively outside. I heard that the county master is waiting for you, sir. Also welcome out."

At this time, there was a commotion outside the house.

"There's nothing wrong with it, Mr. Li is here." Xiao Xie glanced outside.

Seeing a hot breath like a raging fire among the crowd outside.

She is very familiar with this breath, it is Li Xiuyuan's breath.

"Really?" Qiu Rong was ecstatic, her heart was pounding, she had been looking forward to Ye Pan for a long time, and finally her husband would come to pick her up.

But it was lively outside, but she couldn't go out to meet each other due to etiquette.

I only know that the gongs and drums are beating outside, it is very lively, and there is a big banquet at night, and the banquets are next to each other.

On the wine table, the county magistrate toasted Li Xiuyuan frequently with a respectful and flattering gesture, not daring to show any disrespect.

The governor of Yangzhou, for a small county magistrate like him, he can't even get in if he wants to see him on weekdays.

However, Li Xiuyuan smiled and drank and said: "Magistrate Zheng, everyone knows that I want to take Qiurong as my concubine today, but after this happy event is over, I will return to Yangzhou. From now on, Qiu's family will be in Guixian County." I also ask County Magistrate Zheng to take care of me a little bit, of course, if then County Magistrate Zheng has any troubles, you can come to Yangzhou to find my official."

"Although this place is not under the jurisdiction of the official, I think some words of the official are still useful at certain times."
