Li Daitao

Although Fengtai County is a county seat, it is far away from the official road, and the so-called silver-free land is biased. This county seat is really small and pitiful. To be honest, the more prosperous towns in the interior are much better than this one.After all, the whole city is only four or five streets, surrounded by green mountains and green waters in the distance, and rice fields and lotus flowers can be seen everywhere outside the city, which has a special flavor.

This place also has the charm of a southern water town.The climate is blessed by nature, and the people are rich in food and clothing, but that's all. In terms of the source of local money and funds, they also collect some land taxes and rice grains every year. Naturally, they can't compare to the production of salt, tea, silk cloth, etc., or the development of commerce and trade. County.Emperor Qing's purge of officials was quite severe, and few people dared to make decisions on these clear and obvious projects.

Therefore, most of the local county magistrates are people who feel that their careers are hopeless, and they are here only for retirement.Most of the people in Fengtai County are kind-hearted people with simple and natural folk customs.Since there had been no murders of bandits in more than ten years, what the county magistrate had to deal with occasionally was that the Zhang family lost their livestock, and the Li family picked the melons and fruits of the Wang family.

Yi Zhen is a hereditary marquis, and he took the route of joining the army.Firstly, Emperor Xian and Qingdi took good care of him, and secondly, he himself did not lose his prestige, and he reached the peak step by step with his military exploits, but after all, he had never formally participated in the various selection and assessment of talents selected by the imperial court, so he could not be regarded as a formal background.In the Northern Jin Dynasty, officials above the county level were mostly appointed by scholars who had passed the examination.

It is not without exception, but Yan Zihou insisted on going his own way, which made Emperor Qing all sorts of unhappy. Since he kept saying that he did not want fame and fortune, then he did what Yi Zhen wanted, and he did not have to do this kind of accommodation with him, and he was left alone in the county. The county magistrate under the order.

Emperor Qing is going to let Yi Zhen suffer some hardships first, to see what it feels like to be humbled by thousands of people, to have no power and no power, and whether his so-called love can overcome all of these, it is really courageous Only by taking responsibility can we have the right to talk about others.But the place is completely up to Yi Zhen to choose, which can be regarded as a little benevolence from Qing Emperor.

In the county of Fengtai, the county magistrate is too bored and has nothing to do, let alone Yi Zhen, the county magistrate who came out of nowhere.

But from the second day Yi Zhen settled down, no matter what he had to do, he went to the county government office every day to answer questions, and he never slacked off for a single day.

Others were puzzled.Waiting for Wei Zhong Yuanchi to speak quickly, he was the most casual in doing things, so he couldn't help but asked: "Even the county magistrate is promoted once every ten days and a half months, and there is nothing wrong with him, so why should the Marquis make a trip every day?"

Yi Zhen just smiled faintly: "As for the responsibility, there should be a slight negligence in the first place, but it's just a trip, and it's not worth anything." Other than that, he didn't say much.

Qin Shu was extremely serious and rigorous in his work, even though he is ignorant now, Yi Zhen was unwilling to take advantage of him, and made up his mind to teach him to look up to him in the future.This has to be done in a down-to-earth manner.No matter how small it is, I don't want to be taken lightly.It's because he also understands that the Emperor Qing will also depend on the day when he repents, so he is even more unwilling to relax.Therefore, although this errand is dispensable, he has never been half-hearted. Even if he should be by Qin Shu's side when he really wants to, he still spends a morning looking through the county government files over the years to let himself Get as familiar with the local conditions as possible.

Just saw the second courtyard, and saw Qin Shu stumbling over with the child in his arms.

The little guy has grown up quite a bit. Although Qin Shu's health has improved, it is still a bit difficult to hold him, and Qin Shu refuses to let others pick him up, insisting on hugging him himself.But he still wanted to trot, so he staggered all the way, which made people feel nervous, for fear that if he was not careful, the two of them would fall together.

Yi Zhen just shouted not to run, but Qin Shu had already rushed to the front and bumped into Yi Zhen, not listening to his words at all.

Qin Shu was a little out of breath, but he only focused on handing the child in front of his eyes, urging with a smile on his face: "Say it quickly, say it again."

The tiger-headed little guy in his hand sized up Yi Zhen a few times, then turned around and put his arms around Qin Shu's neck, and after a while he called out childishly, "Daddy."

Qin Shu giggled, looking at Yi Zhen with a face full of complacency, with endless joy in his brows and eyes.

It has been more than a year for the little guy, and it should be time to start babbling, but Yi Zhen couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard him start talking nonsense for the first time. Jian An will call you Daddy, let me call again." Jian An was the little guy's original name, and when Yi Zhen adopted him, he just changed his surname, and the name was still taken by his parents.Besides, Yi Zhen doesn't think there's anything wrong with this name now, it's simple and easy to follow.

Seeing that he wanted to hug him, Qin Shu was not happy, took a step back, and said, "Mine."

"Okay, what's yours is yours." Yi Zhen laughed, and he didn't fight with Qin Shu. He was different from Qin Shu, and he thought more long-term. Seeing that the child was about to be able to talk, he would play with other children in the future. I will always gradually understand that besides dad and dad, everyone has to have someone called mother. If a child asks, it’s easy to dismiss, but at worst, he will confess his life and life, anyway, he plans to tell Jian An in the future I'm just worried that if Qin Shu also asks, why does their family have only two fathers but no mother... That is a really troublesome question, and it is necessary to plan ahead and figure out a countermeasure.

While thinking in his heart, there was no expression on his face.Seeing that Qin Shu was walking in a hurry just now, there was slight sweat on his forehead, and while wiping off his sleeves, he said in a hurry: "Now Jian An can walk by himself, you just need to hold him by the hand, you don't have to hug him all the time. Let's go. Do you hear me?"

Qin Shu just smiled at him, pursed his lips and didn't answer, when Yi Zhen said it again, he simply shook his head vigorously and closed his eyes to show that he didn't hear.But he refused to let go and put the child down.Yi Zhen had no choice but to scold Jian An instead, reaching out to pinch his nose: "You can walk by yourself, a good boy can't always be hugged, do you know that?"

Jian An seemed to be a little afraid of him, and kept burrowing into Qin Shu's arms, and finally leaned on Qin Shu's shoulder and did not move, but from time to time, she poked her face out to peek at him secretly.Seeing that he made a move on Jian An, Qin Shu was not happy, and gave him a fierce look, and took a step back with Jian An in his arms, as if afraid of Yi Zhen's attack.

This time, one big and one small didn't make a sound, Yi Zhen saw the two of them hugging each other tightly, and there was a sense of common hatred between his eyebrows, he felt that he was really a bad person, and he could only be dumb for a while He was speechless, but seeing the two of them standing in front of him, his heart was peaceful and peaceful.The two of them stood face to face for a while, but Qin Shu forgot about it first, and suddenly remembered the rules taught to him by the woman with the child, so he smiled at Yi Zhen belatedly, "You're back. "

His current thoughts are becoming clearer day by day.In Yi Zhen's heart, he was actually mixed with worry and joy, and he didn't care if he was slow to say hello.Smiling and humming, he led him into the inner courtyard while talking.

The house he rented was a courtyard with several rows, barely accommodated a dozen or twenty people, so he seemed a little supportive, but the last courtyard belonged to the two of them, so it was quiet.

The weather is getting hotter recently, Yi Zhen asked people to put the table in a cool place, and had breakfast here.Just after eating, Qin Shu didn't let the little guy go to sleep immediately, dragged the bed and spread it on the stone slab under the shade of the tree, and played with him for a while, so as to digest first.

Yi Zhen took out a volume of books he brought back in the morning and sat at the table, glanced at the book, watched him play with Jian An from time to time, and said a few words from time to time, even though there was sometimes a gap between the question and the answer. The horse and the cow are not related, and each can enjoy himself.

It's been a long time since Qin Shu's voice was heard, Yi Zhen thought he had fallen asleep together, and was about to put some clothes on him, when he looked up and saw him still sitting there upright, Jian An was lying on his back He fell asleep on his feet, but he was still in good spirits, looking at the tree in a daze.

This is a very common peach tree. When they first arrived in Fengtai, the branches were full of crimson bones competing to bloom.At this time, the peaches were as big as Jian An's small fist.It's not yet ripe yet, and it's covered in green and fluffy hairs, which are densely hidden among the green leaves, and you won't be able to find it unless you look carefully.

Qin Shu's lips moved slightly, and he was silently counting the number, looking at it, and unconsciously smiled.

Don't be wary of Yi Zhen who is beside him and said calmly: "Little greedy cat."

He quickly retracted his gaze and sat upright: "I'm not."

Yi Zhen leaned over and rubbed his finger on his cheek, deliberately teasing him: "I'm drooling, and I still said no." He once saw Qin Shu secretly pick a peach without paying attention, and then happily took a bite. The taste must have been sour, and immediately made eyebrows and eyes wrinkled together. He asked to feed it to Jian An. If he didn't check the little thing for a while, he would end up in the same way. He even sprayed him a lot of saliva. The green peach was quietly thrown into a corner by Qin Shu.

At this time, Qin Shu was not as easy to be fooled as he was a few months ago. He turned his eyes and said, "Jian An is drooling."

Qin Shu lowered his head and carefully wiped him clean.The breeze blew past gently, and the shards of sunlight leaked from the swaying branches and leaves, and sprinkled on the three people in the courtyard, appearing quiet and peaceful.

Yi Zhen couldn't help but think, this is what a home looks like.
