Maid, Little Lucky Wife
Chapter 270 Changes in Li County
After walking for a few days, everyone switched from land to water.
The boats were filled with merchants, all doing business with Li County.
The boat trip was not interesting because several people were seasick and could not enjoy the scenery.
Mo Xuan stood on the bow of the boat and looked at the terraces on both sides. Yun Shang walked up to him and held his hand.
The waterway has been widened a lot, and the surrounding mountains are no longer bare. People live on the terraces and raise many cattle and sheep, and some mountains are even covered with fruit trees.
Occasionally, you can still see waterwheels. Waterwheels are no longer the original version and are more convenient. They come in different sizes. Yun Shang can even see the shadow of modern craftsmanship in them.
This is a wealthy place built by myself.
Mo Xuan sighed proudly in his heart, and a sense of pride suddenly arose.
Two days later, the ship docked. The dock had changed drastically. It was surrounded by shops and people were coming and going. Yun Shang even saw the clothes of foreigners.
The few little guys looked at everything around them curiously, seeing everything new.
"Father, is this Li County?"
An An said curiously that she had heard of Li County a long time ago. Li County used to be very poor. Her father worked as the county magistrate here for three years before turning the poor mountains and rivers into a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
Mo Xuan nodded, "Yes, this is Li County."
At this time, there was already a city in Li County. The city occupied several mountains on the mountains very close to the water.
In the past, Li County was afraid of floods and droughts. Now the mountains are full of food, water trucks are everywhere, and the people have enough food and clothing, so naturally they are not afraid of anything.
Everyone took carriages and came to the streets of the city. The streets were very wide and there were many people. They looked like they were from other places, and they always wanted to take a few glances when they passed by.
The main problem now is to solve the problems of accommodation and food.
Mo Xuan led the horse to avoid the crowd, and suddenly heard someone shouting, "Sir, are you Mr. Mo?"
Mo Xuan turned around and saw a familiar figure walking forward quickly and looking at Mo Xuan excitedly.
Mo Xuan searched for a familiar figure in his memory and suddenly smiled, "Li Er? So it's you. Do you still remember me?"
Li Er, the person who fought against Mo Xuan back then, looks a bit older now. After all, he has been here for more than ten years, so people will grow old.
Li Er's eyes turned red with excitement, and he was about to kneel down and kowtow.
Mo Xuan quickly stopped him and said, "Li Er, if you don't want to do this now, I'll bring my family back to take a look."
Mo Xuan wanted to keep a low profile, but it backfired as Li Er's shout alerted the surrounding crowd.
"Master Mo? Which Master Mo?"
"Who else can it be? Is there another Lord Mo in Li County? No, I have to go home and tell my father that Lord Mo is back."
"Master Mo, it's really him, haha, Master Mo is back."
In almost half a quarter of an hour, Mo Xuan was surrounded by the crowd. They didn't even sit down to buy or sell. They crowded around excitedly and wanted to say hello to Mo Xuan.
Mo Xuan didn't expect that more than ten years had passed and people still remembered him.
Mo Xuan patiently answered everyone's questions one by one. The carriage could not move forward. Yun Shang, An An and others opened the windows and looked out. They saw people like stars holding the moon, smiling and saying something.
"Mother, father is so awesome!"
An An looked at his father starry-eyed, eyes full of admiration.
Soon, the crowd parted to both sides, and a man walked over.
This man was the head of a village back then. He used to be in his prime, but now he can be seen to be old.
"Lord Mo!"
The visitor held Mo Xuan's hands and said excitedly and incoherently, "Great, we finally waited until Lord Mo came back."
Mo Xuan had no choice but to look at the crowd and said to the old man, "Uncle, please let the crowd disperse. Stop hanging around here and affecting everyone's business."
With this thought in mind, the visitor waved his hand and said in a loud voice, "Everyone, please disperse quickly. Master Mo will definitely be able to stay for a few days and we can still see each other."
The people dispersed reluctantly.
Mo Xuan then said, "Uncle, I didn't want to cause a commotion. I'm taking my family for a wedding this time, and I want to find a hotel."
"Hey, what hotel are you looking for? Let's go to uncle's house and let your aunt prepare delicious food for you."
"Uncle, this is not good, it's too disturbing."
"do not bother!"
Mo Xuan was grabbed by the arm and couldn't break free, so he could only signal Ling Yi and the others to follow.
Arriving at the large square in the center of the city, Mo Xuan saw the statue standing in the center of the square at a glance. The statue was none other than him. It was about three meters high and stood on a huge stone base.
The uncle followed his gaze and said with a smile, "When Mr. Mo left, the people asked to erect a statue for you. Many squires donated money, and with the consent of their parents and officials, they erected it here."
Mo Xuan was ashamed. He never expected to see his statue one day.
Yun Shang was moved for a moment, but she didn't expect Li County to be so grateful to her husband and still remember him for more than ten years.
Everyone came to the uncle's yard. The uncle's yard was very large with many rooms. They locked the carriage in the yard.
When the hostess of this house heard that Mo Xuan's family was coming, she greeted them warmly, prepared hot water and the room, and asked the kitchen to prepare delicious food.
Yun Shang also thought that there would be misunderstandings if there were young girls in this family. Unexpectedly, the girls in this family were very sensible. She only occasionally looked at Mo Xuan with admiration. At other times, she knew the rules and would not join the crowd of men.
Yun Shang sighed, she didn't expect that as Li County became wealthy, even people's mental outlook had changed. In the past, they were more rural people, but now they seem to be literate.
"Mrs. Mo, in recent years, Li County has also set up colleges and girls' schools like the capital, and girls have learned a lot."
The hostess noticed Yun Shang's confusion and explained.
Yun Shang nodded, "Yes, that's how it should be. At least learn how to read, so as not to be deceived by others when you go out with little knowledge in the future."
"Yes, we think so too. If during the floods in the past, men could at least go out and find some work if they were literate, why would they need to be homeless?"
The two were chatting, and Yingying and An An chatted with the girls from this family.
The girl was very cautious at first, but later seeing how friendly the two of them were, she quickly let go and they chatted happily.
While everyone was chatting, someone suddenly came in to deliver a message. The uncle led Mo Xuan to welcome someone in, who was the current county magistrate of Li County.
Although Mo Xuan explained that he was just here for fun, after all, his official position was there, how could the county magistrate dare to neglect him? I just have to stay here with you.
The county magistrate originally planned to let them live in the county magistrate's house, but Mo Xuan refused and stated that they would not see guests for the next few days, so the county magistrate gave up the idea.
It's a pity that in the next two days, there will always be people visiting me. Fortunately, these people are sensible and won't disturb me too much.
During the day, Yunshang Moxuan led several children to play around and buy some weird and delicious things.
Xiao Yu met her childhood playmates, and they were all married, but unfortunately they lacked the purity of their youth.
After staying here for five days, Mo Xuan had to say goodbye and leave. The people sent Mo Xuan to the dock and watched the ship leave, just like they did more than ten years ago.
Xiaoyu sighed and said, "That's great, father. I will be a good official like you in the future."
