Entered the city.

Sure enough, there were quite a few people standing under the city gate, looking at the people entering the city and sizing up who would be their customers.

"Mrs. Zhong."

Just as Qianghua was hesitating where to stay, there was a questioning voice from the side.

Turning around, he saw a man wearing a gray robe and a short beard.

"Who are you?" Qianghua was confused?

After Lu Erlang confirmed that this person was Mrs. Zhong, he lowered his eyes and sighed in his heart.

Mrs. Zhong's appearance didn't seem to have changed much from the first time he saw her. No, it wasn't nothing. There were a few more wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but these wrinkles didn't add any age to her. Her overall temperament Not much has changed.

Lu Erlang bowed his hands and replied politely: "I am Zhou Yuniang's husband."

"Yu Niang? Ah... it's you..." Qianghua remembered Yu Niang's husband whose legs were broken by powerful men.

Speaking of which, if he hadn't had his leg broken, Yu Niang wouldn't have stood up to take on the responsibility of supporting the family, and thus meet her, and she wouldn't have achieved what she has today.

She heard on the way here that Yu Niang is now the magistrate of Fengnian County.

It seems that it is precisely because the magistrate of Fengnian County is a woman, most of the people in power in the county are women, and it is still the fiefdom of Princess Changsi. Therefore, even though the population and even the tax revenue of Fengnian County have already exceeded the county system, it is still controlled by the superiors. He was suppressed and could not be promoted to the county government.

Thinking of this, Qianghua couldn't help but laugh.

On the way here, she saw a lot of villages next to Fengnian County. They were all people from other counties. However, because they were next to Fengnian County and saw the changes in Fengnian County, she was really jealous, so if others asked about those Wherever the people in the village were from, the other party would not hesitate to say that he was from Fengnian County without even hitting anyone.

If she hadn't been here before, she might have been confused by the other party's confident expression.

Lu Erlang didn't hear the other party's subsequent words, so he couldn't help but look up and saw a smile on the other party's face, so he asked, "Does Mrs. Zhong have a place to stay?"

Qianghua: "No, do you have a house with a quiet environment? It's better to be bigger."

She has eleven cows, and they are too big to let go.

Hearing her words, Lu Erlang thought of the other party's hundred-acre manor outside the royal city, and said, "There is no manor as big as Zhongyuan, but there are still two-acre courtyards of two or three acres."

To prevent the other party from saying that he was perfunctory, Lu Erlang explained: "Nowadays, housing in the county is tight, and this is the best yard. There is also a piece of land behind the yard, which can just be used to place the cattle in the backyard."

Qianghua nodded helplessly, "Then I'll ask you to lead the way."

Lu Erlang was overjoyed, "Please come with me."

After saying that, he walked in front and led the way.

It was some distance away from the courtyard. In order to avoid being left in the cold, Lu Erlang introduced the changes in Fengnian County today, and also explained why he returned to his old business after his wife had become the head of the county.

Fengnian County has changed a lot, and Qianghua can naturally see it.

As for Lu Erlang, he held the position of a minor official and was responsible for checking whether the people entering the city were spies sent by the superiors to inquire about the situation.

The former has nothing to say, but the latter makes Qianghua raise her eyebrows involuntarily. Is this something that can be said?

Listening to Lu Erlang's introduction all the way, when he arrived at the door of the courtyard, he took out the key from his arms and opened the door.

The yard is clean and seems to be cleaned regularly, and there is a well next to the kitchen.

When I entered the house, I saw that there was no dust at all. You can move in with a simple cleaning. If you don't mind it, you can just move in.

This is not like a house waiting to be rented.

But Qianghua doesn't care who owns the yard, as long as she can live in it.

Lu Erlang took the rent and asked before leaving: "Is Mrs. Zhong free at night?"

Qianghua guessed what he meant by this, either Yu Niang was coming or Princess Changsi was coming.

We will meet sooner or later. After thinking about it, she nodded, "Yes."

Lu Erlang handed over his hand: "I don't need to disturb Mrs. Zhong anymore that night."

"Yeah." Qianghua didn't care. She didn't come during the day and came at night. Either she had too many things to do during the day or she wanted to deceive others.

After Lu Erlang left, Qianghua closed the door and took the cattle to the backyard.

This herd of cows is already big and will disappear at some point, so she doesn’t plan to travel far away in the next few years.

Qianghua distributed fodder to the cattle, and then took Xiaoba to cook.

Her appetite is not small, and the black bear's appetite is even bigger.

After dinner and a good night's sleep, it was already dusk. If you look carefully, you can still see the stars appearing first in the sky.

The person was still a little confused when there was a knock on the courtyard door.

【I go! ] Xiaoba volunteered, his voice a little cheerful.

Qianghua didn't stop her and turned around to wash her face to wake up.

When she came back, the visitor was already sitting in the hall.

Princess Changsi, Zhou Yuniang.

Qianghua looked at them and felt dazed for a moment. Hard work really makes people age quickly...

Princess Changsi and Zhou Yuniang were also filled with wonder. When Lu Erlang (husband) came back and told them that Mrs. Zhong had not changed much, they still didn't believe it. Now that they saw the other person's smooth and delicate face, they couldn't help but not believe it.

"Princess Changsi, Yu Niang."

"Mrs. Zhong."

"Mrs. Zhong."

The three of them spoke in unison, then were stunned and laughed.

Princess Chang Si sighed a little, "I haven't seen her for many years, but Mrs. Zhong's style remains the same."

The last time they met was at the amusement park.

Qianghua smiled and said, "You are better than before."

Nowadays, the actual decision-maker of the entire Fengnian County and several surrounding counties is Princess Changsi. Princess Changsi has become increasingly majestic and has become a local hegemon with imperial dignity.

However, now that Emperor Ying is still alive, Princess Changsi will not raise an army to rebel. Moreover, she is only in her early ten years and has not accumulated enough strength. If she shows up too early, it will just serve as a stepping stone for others.

The method she gave Princess Changsi was to follow the mass line. After all, the people of this world have never met such a people-friendly lord. They don't care if the other party is hypocritical, as long as they enjoy everything, that's enough. .

Now it seems that it is quite effective. Princess Changsi has reaped the benefits and is very concerned about this matter.

And this also fully shows that the people don't care who comes to power. As long as they have enough food and clothing, they will support whoever!

Qianghua retracted her thoughts and asked the two of them curiously, "You came to me so eagerly, but you have something important?"

She came without even sending a greeting card. It's not like Princess Changsi's style.

Princess Changsi: "I'm really sorry to bother you, Madam, at night. I'm just busy during the day, so I can only steal some free time after dark. Please don't dislike us, Madam."

After a pause, she explained: "I haven't seen Mrs. Zhong for a long time, and I don't know how long Mrs. Zhong will stay here? It's best to stay longer and let Changsi fulfill her friendship as a landlord."

Her father's current reputation was inseparable from what Mrs. Zhong gave him.

Her current achievements are also inseparable from the methods given by Mrs. Zhong.

Therefore, she does not want Mrs. Zhong to go to other people's territory.

Qianghua smiled, probably understanding Princess Changsi's concerns, but she really didn't want to walk around now, so she said, "Little eight years old."

Princess Changsi understood the meaning of the words. Xiaoba was the very humane black bear who could only open the door for them and ask them to come in and wait. Because "Xiaoba is old," Mrs. Zhong currently has to stay in Fengnian County. , until Xiaoba died.

But after Xiaoba is gone, Mrs. Zhong’s whereabouts are hard to say.

Princess Changsi didn't know how long a black bear could live, but she looked at Xiaoba the same way and she couldn't live without him for a while.

Princess Changsi looked at the black bear squatting next to Mrs. Zhong, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it would be great if Mrs. Zhong put her concern for the black bear on her.

The three of them talked until midnight before Qianghua sent them out.

Seeing the two people leaving, Qianghua smiled, patted Xiao Ba's head, and closed the door.
