Wei Xiuqin looked at Mother Wei.

Mother Wei's eyes were complicated: "Go."

Wei Xiuqin went to open the door.

As expected, it was Ji Xiao who came in.

As soon as Ji Xiao entered the door, he saw Wei Xiuyuan kneeling on the ground, and knelt beside him without saying a word.

Before Mother Wei could speak, Ji Xiao said, "Auntie, please don't blame Ziyan."

Wei Xiuyuan closed his eyes and did not speak.

Mother Wei snorted coldly: "I always thought you were a good person, but I never thought you would do such a thing!"

If it was just suspicion before, then Ji Xiao's kneeling confirmed that he and Wei Xiuyuan really have feelings for each other!

"Yes, everything is my fault," Ji Xiao said sincerely, "Ziyan was only forced by me, I let my aunt punish me, I just ask my aunt not to blame Ziyan."

Wei Xiuyuan: "Shut up."

Mother Wei's eyes became even more complicated.

She knows her own son.

"The story about your cousin you told earlier was meant to frame me?" Mother Wei looked at Ji Xiao, "Do you want to use that story to threaten me?"

As if if she didn't agree, they would end up like in the story.

Ji Xiao was not guilty, and looked at her: "It's true."

Black Cat: "..." My host is making up again in a serious manner.

Mother Wei: "If I disagree..."

Ji Xiao said deeply: "Then I will only be good friends with Ziyan, and I will not stop him from marrying a wife and having children, but I will never marry a wife in my life, but I can do it just by looking at him." , don't bother him."

Say it affectionately.

Wei Xiuyuan didn't believe a word.

I'm afraid that if he really marries a wife, he, Mr. Chen, will tie him up and lock him up in Chen's mansion.

Wei Xiuyuan didn't believe it, but Wei's mother and Wei Xiuqin did.

Wei Xiuqin hesitated to speak several times, but felt that there was no place for him to speak, so he closed his mouth slowly.

Mother Wei said coldly to Ji Xiao: "You go."

Ji Xiao bowed deeply to her: "Auntie, please don't make things difficult for Ziyan, everything is my fault."

"My son, don't worry about it."

"……Yes."

Ji Xiao stood up, with a heartbroken look, and staggered away slightly.

Only then did Wei's mother look at Wei Xiuyuan: "If I insist on you marrying a wife..."

Wei Xiuyuan lowered his head: "I won't marry my son."

Get along with Ji Xiao for many days.

He looks harmless and clingy, but in fact, Wei Xiuyuan firmly believes that if he really marries a wife, Ji Xiao will be the first to let him go, and it will be known to everyone.

Mother Wei said angrily, "Go back to your room!"

Wei Xiuyuan's lips trembled, and he bowed deeply: "I'll take my leave."

As soon as he left, Mother Wei's tears flowed out: "Ah, what a crime!"

Wei Xiuqin quickly supported her: "Mother, don't be sad, I'll ask the doctor tomorrow, maybe...maybe it can be cured?"

Wei's mother sat down slowly with her support, and wiped away tears: "Chen Xiao is the son of the richest man, the Chen family is not stingy in doing good deeds, and has donated military salaries many times to relieve natural disasters, even the emperor wants to give the Chen family a three-point favor .”

Wei Xiuqin was silent.

"Look at his deep affection for Yuan'er. If I really force Yuan'er to marry a wife, do you think he is willing to just watch from the sidelines and not disturb?"

Mother Wei's eyes were full of tears,

"Although mother is an ordinary woman, she also knows that he is the son of the richest man, how could he really back down so far? I'm afraid that what he said about persecuting your brother is somewhat true."

Wei Xiuqin opened his mouth: "But brother..."

"Yes, your brother must have feelings for him, but who knows how it started?"

Mother Wei smiled wryly,

"I'm sorry for your father."

Wei Xiuqin lowered his body and leaned against her intimately: "Mother, don't be sad, I, I won't get married anymore, I'm recruiting, and the child I will give birth to will be a descendant of the Wei family."

Wei's mother patted her head: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Mom, I'm serious."

"Stop thinking about it, how can a good man be willing to marry."

"Mother~"

"Don't talk about this, let's go to rest."

Wei Xiuqin hesitated and said, "Then brother..."

Mother Wei had a sad look on her face.

The tragedy of the cousin's family that Ji Xiao talked about still left traces on her heart.

What if she became ruthless and forced Wei Xiuyuan to get married, and her wife found out about his situation?

What if her wife brings her natal family to make trouble?

Wei Xiuyuan faced the woman, can it work?

Even if it's okay, even if it's hidden, Chen Xiao will really watch obediently and not come to make trouble?

Mother Wei and Wei Xiuqin took each other back to the room.

And over there Ji Xiao has already climbed the wall and slipped into Wei Xiuyuan's room.

Wei Xiuyuan took a bath in the room, and didn't lift his head when he heard the movement: "Is what Mr. Chen said just now true? If I get married, you won't interfere?"

Ji Xiao approached him, bent down and bit his ear: "You're dreaming! If you dare to marry, I'll lock you up, and no one will see it except me."

Wei Xiuyuan: "..." He knew it.

"Ziyan..."

"Don't worry, I want to take a bath."

"I'll help you."

"Bastard!"

……

Wei Xiuyuan did not stay in Beijing to serve, but was sent to a city that had just experienced the disaster area, Ruanzhou City, Yunchang County, as the county magistrate.

A number one scholar, who was appointed as the magistrate of the disaster area, can be said to have fallen through everyone's glasses.

Only Wei Xiuyuan knew that the emperor was angry that he dared to decline his proposed marriage.

She was clearly unmarried and unengaged, but she still rejected the emperor's marriage proposal.

Wei's mother began to pack up the family's salute.

And Ji Xiao also went back to the Chen Mansion, and went to look for Butler Chen.

"I'm going on a long trip, please ask Uncle Chen to help me prepare the guard and carriage."

Chen Butler: "Master, where are you going?"

"Yunchang County, Ruanzhou City."

"Didn't the place just experience a flood? Why did the young master go there!"

"I have a friend who is going to work there, so I'm going to support him and have some fun along the way."

Steward Chen was a little speechless, what fun is there in the disaster area?

"Uncle Chen, I'm not begging you."

"Yes, sir."

Steward Chen agreed to him, and then went to pass on the letter to Chen Mu Feige in the Chen Mansion.

Ji Xiao ordered again: "Qiuzhi, go to the cashier to get the 5 taels of silver bills, and then help me clean up my belongings, and you should also clean up your own. This time, apart from the guards, I will only take you with me."

Qiu Zhi whispered: "The journey was exhausting, the young master will not bring two maids to serve Mrs. Wei and Miss Wei?"

Ji Xiao gave him an appreciative look: "Choose two well-behaved, sensible and capable girls together."

"Yes, Master!"

There may be banditry in the disaster area, Chen Steward did not dare to stop the young master, so he had to seriously choose twenty capable guards to accompany him.

The lineup is quite big.

This time, everyone in Ancheng knew that the richest man, Chen Xiao, had left Ancheng together with the number one scholar, Wei Xiuyuan.

They traveled with only three carriages.

Ji Xiao and Wei Xiuyuan are in the front car, Wei Mu and Wei Xiuqin are in the middle, and the two maids and Qiu Zhi are in the end.

Twenty guards on horseback followed on both sides.

Middle carriage.

Wei Xiuqin touched the carriage couch under him: "This carriage is so comfortable."

Mother Wei snorted, but didn't speak.

Wei Xiuqin whispered: "He is a son who has enjoyed all the glory and wealth since he was a child, and he is willing to work with his brother in the disaster area, which shows how much he cares for his brother."

Wei's mother sighed softly: "I'm afraid your brother will be stabbed in the back."

Wei Xiuqin: "No, no one will know."

Mother Wei: "Oh."

Carriage ahead.

Ji Xiao leaned softly in Wei Xiuyuan's arms, and said in distress: "Ziyan, I'm so dizzy, this is the first time I've traveled far, this carriage is so bumpy."

"Squeamish," Wei Xiuyuan said coolly, "Your carriage is so stable, you have never been in a really bumpy carriage."

"Hmm, headache."

"..."

Wei Xiuyuan rubbed his temples expressionlessly.

Ji Xiao closed his eyes comfortably.

Ancheng went to Yunchang County, and it took fourteen days to travel with a full load.

Whenever sleeping outside in the middle of the night or resting at the station, Ji Xiao never let Wei Xiuyuan go.

Wei Xiuyuan was impatient: "You can't wait until..."

"I can't wait, I want you every day."

"Damn things!"

"Zi Yan is good."

"Well."

"Shh, don't be heard, I'm lighter."

"..."

The black cat huddled in the depths to watch the drama, always feeling that its host was getting more and more profligate.

Ji Xiao: Who set this task?

As soon as they entered the boundary of Ruanzhou City, they encountered robbers.

Fortunately, the twenty sword guards were not built, even if there were twice as many robbers, they could fight back.

The boundary of Ruanzhou City is obviously depressed.

The destroyed houses and fields, the collapsed hills and trees, and the yellow and emaciated people who stared at them but dared not go forward.

Wei Xiuyuan saw it through the curtain of the car, and his heart became heavy.

However, Ji Xiao was so full of mind that he was not doing his job properly and never stopped, so angry that he couldn't help biting him a few times.

Ji Xiao stood calmly against the bitten neck.

The guards also turned a blind eye.

Finally arrived at Yunchang County.

As soon as the carriage entered the city, the people on the road stared and followed until they entered the county government.

The muddy eyes of the common people brightened slightly.

"Is it the new magistrate?"

"Did the imperial court abandon us? Did His Majesty abandon us?"

"Is the new county magistrate any good?"

"Will it be like the last one..."

The people knelt down one after another.

"My lord, please help us—"

"My lord, save us!"

"The food is ruined, we haven't eaten for a long time—"

The yamen servant who heard the news ran over while fixing his hat and fastening his clothes.

Since the previous county magistrate fled with his family, the county government office was swept away, and the masters and government servants all went back to their respective homes, and never visited the county government office again.

A yamen servant stepped forward and looked at Wei Xiuyuan and Ji Xiao cautiously: "Is it... the county magistrate?"

Wei Xiuyuan took out the letter of appointment.

The yamen servant practiced waving his hands: "The little one is illiterate, someone has already informed the master, and the master will come soon."

Wei Xiuyuan looked at the open door and the messy and dilapidated yamen servants, and didn't ask any questions.

There is no need to ask.

It was nothing more than being looted by the angry people.

The people in the two carriages behind did not get off.

The guards were worried that there would be troubles caused by extreme people, so they stood upright and vigilant around them.

However, the common people regarded the new county magistrate as a life-saving straw, and no one yelled or cursed, they just kowtowed for help.

Wei Xiuyuan asked: "Is there any food in the county government office?"

The yamen servant shook his head: "Not to mention the county yamen, even the entire Yunchang County can't find a few grains of grain, and the people are already hungry enough to gnaw on the bark."

Ji Xiao said in a low voice: "Don't worry, in addition to the guards accompanying us, Steward Chen also arranged for bodyguards to escort a batch of food over. If there is no accident, we will arrive tonight."

Wei Xiuyuan was moved and said, "Thank you."

Ji Xiao smiled and said, "Your business is mine, you're welcome."

Wei Xiuyuan looked at the sallow and emaciated common people who were kneeling, and raised his voice, "Get up, I am the new county magistrate of Yunchang County, and I will not let you starve to death with me in the future."

The people still knelt down and begged for help.

Someone stared at the carriage with burning eyes.

Ji Xiao waved to the guard closest to him: "The carriage behind has brought some grain, bring it here, and go to the county government to cook porridge."

"Yes."

Wei Xiuyuan heard it, and said to the people: "You are waiting here, cook the porridge now, you have a meal first."

"Thank you my lord—"

"My lord is Master Qingtian—"

"Thank you my lord—"

The servants also wiped away their tears.

There are not many people left in Yunchang County, almost half of them have fled.

For the rest, the elderly in the family were unwilling to travel far, and the children had no choice but to abandon the elderly and stayed behind.

Some are abandoned old women and children.

some……

In short, compared with the population before the flood, it is now about half less.
