Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

Wang Shiwen became obedient, no longer angry with Pei Jiuniang, and no longer messed around outside.

Qinghe works with Lai Xi. He has been in Qingshui County for a long time and is familiar with everything in the county.

Sometimes Qinghe could think of things that Lai Xi couldn't, and was highly praised by Zhou Jin.

Years ago, there were three heavy snowfalls, and Zhou Jin ordered the bandits to go home to help with the disaster relief.

Three times, all the criminals came back, with no exceptions.

This is the mutual trust between Zhou Jin and these labor reformers.

This New Year, the four families celebrated together and it was quite lively.

The women chatted together, the men drank and played chess, and the children played.

Only Gu Xiling and Zhou Jin's children were young, while the children from the other three families could play together.

After hearing the cheerful laughter, everyone felt happy and looked forward to the arrival of next year.

On this day, Zhou Jin, while drunk, drew a picture of Gu Xiling and the child and kept it.

This is the first time they have left their parents and spent the New Year alone.

Although I miss my hometown, I have a future here.

"My dear, in two years, we should be able to return to Beijing to report on our work." Zhou Jin gently hugged Gu Xiling.

Gu Xiling snuggled in Zhou Jin's arms, "Wherever my husband is, that's mine. My parents are in good health, my grandmother is fine, we are at ease. My husband, don't worry."

Zhou Jin smiled, "It's just too far. If it's closer, even if I can't go back, you can go back." Gu Xiling shook her head and laughed, "It's close, I can go back on weekdays, but on holidays, I will definitely stay and won't leave my husband alone."

Zhou Jin was very happy to be spoiled by his wife. "Our elders are far away, so it's OK that we can't reunite. But Master and Senior Brother are nearby, and they don't want to come."

Gu Xiling shook her head and chuckled, "Master and Senior Brother are monks, they practice in seclusion and don't like crowds. Let's go and pay our respects to Master and Senior Brother some other day."

In short, Gu Xiling was very happy this year.

All the elders are here, and I have my beloved daughter. Life has never been so perfect as it is now.

It turns out that she doesn't have to fight and kill like in her previous life, nor does she have to worry about money.

She not only has elders but also a husband who can provide her with support.

You know what, it feels really good. Life is so relaxing and leisurely.

As spring arrives and the weather warms up, people go out of their homes.

Unlike before, people do not have to worry about being harassed by bandits or oppressed by the government this year.

Before the spring, Zhou Jin called Qinghe over.

"Sir, what is the matter that you called me here for?" Qinghe asked respectfully.

Zhou Jin smiled and said, "I heard your sister-in-law gave birth?"

Qinghe smiled and nodded, "Yes, sir. My sister-in-law and elder brother run a shop. Although the income is not much, it is enough to make ends meet."

"Now that the baby is born, my elder brother and sister-in-law are very happy. I am also very happy to be an uncle, but you have never told me to do anything, and I wanted to do something to get rewarded, but I have not been able to do so."

Zhou Jin smiled when he heard this, "Here comes the opportunity!"

Qinghe was stunned, and immediately replied respectfully: "Just follow my orders, I will do my best without hesitation."

Zhou Jin nodded, "This job is quite hard, but I like that you can disguise yourself and speak multiple foreign languages, so I want you to go deep into the heart of these foreign countries and understand the people's sentiments."

"Remember, while ensuring your own safety, find out more about their civilian affairs. For example, whether the foreign government oppresses the common people, and whether the official common people intend to rebel against the nobles above."

"In short, your mission is to understand the people's sentiments, not to charge into battle alone. Collect all these and come back to report before the snow falls this year."

Qinghe smiled lightly when he heard this, "Sir, your task is very simple. I can't sit still. When there were no tasks in the village, I would dress up as various people and go to the foreign countries for a stroll."

"Of course, I also did a lot of things like robbing the rich to help the poor. But the people I robbed were all rich people who were unkind and corrupt, or those officials who were corrupt and abused their power. I never took a single penny from the common people."

Zhou Jin smiled and nodded when he heard this, "I believe in your character! But this time, you must keep a low profile and don't act impulsively or recklessly."

"You are alone in this deep place. If you are in danger, I will not be able to help you. Therefore, you can only rely on yourself to escape."

Qinghe smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will act according to the circumstances and come back safely."

Zhou Jin nodded, "Here are ten taels of gold. I have melted them into small pieces for you to wear on your body in case of emergency."

"After you leave the county government office tonight, explain everything to your brother and sister-in-law. Once you are ready, you don't need to say goodbye to me. You can leave directly."

Qinghe cupped his hands, "Yes, sir!"

Now that he has received the mission, Qinghe feels relieved.

Although Qinghe didn't know Zhou Jin's plan, he was sure that once Qingshui County was completely stabilized and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, they would definitely take action against the surrounding countries with ulterior motives.

This is a good opportunity to achieve success.

Qinghe returned home and said goodbye to his elder brother and sister-in-law, "Brother, sister-in-law, I will pack my things tonight and leave tomorrow to complete the task assigned by the county magistrate, Mr. Zhou."

Qingcheng was stunned, his eyes showing concern, "Qinghe, is it dangerous?"

Qinghe shook his head, "No, I was just asking for information. This is my specialty."

Mrs. Chen asked, "Qinghe, where are you going?"

Qinghe smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I can't tell you. Anyway, don't worry, this trip is just to get information. As long as I am careful, there will be no danger."

"You don't have to leave your homeland and go to Yunzhou. Lord Zhou is here and they will protect you. This year, the people are living and working in peace and contentment, and the silk and fabric business is booming. You can lead your brothers to do business and live a good life."

When Madam Chen heard Qinghe say this, she nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll pack your luggage right away."

Qinghe shook his head, "Sister-in-law, you don't need to bring me the usual luggage. I won't need it. I will prepare it myself."

Madam Chen understood that gathering information would require various disguises, so the luggage here would be of no use.

On the contrary, if you bring too much, your identity may be exposed.

Madam Chen nodded, "Okay, poor family but rich road, clothes and shoes may be exposed, but gold is gold no matter where it is, I will give you gold and silver in pieces, you take it with you."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Qinghe was grateful. As long as his elder brother, elder sister-in-law and little nephew were safe, all he had done would be worth it.

Even if there is danger, he is willing to work for the county magistrate.

Qingcheng is very satisfied with his current life. He finally doesn't have to fight and kill. "Qinghe, you have been smart since you were a child. Do you have anything else to say?"

Qinghe thought for a moment and said, "Brother, spring ploughing is coming soon. The county government has opened up a lot of wasteland, which cannot be fully cultivated. If the county magistrate calls on people to buy land, don't hesitate. Buy as much as you can. This is our foundation."
