Seeing this, Fei Ling also ran behind Zhao Qian.

When I ran outside the posthouse, I saw an eight or nine-year-old boy standing at the door, with his hands behind his back and his head raised high, in a pretentious posture.

Fei Ling was immediately discouraged:

"Where are the children, go and play while making trouble!"

The boy felt guilty when he saw Feiling and the two, but when he heard that Feiling looked down on him, he suddenly became unwilling.

"You look down on people, how do you know that I have nothing to do?"

Yuan Feiling didn't recognize him yet, but she did recognize him when she heard the voice, and sneered:

"It turned out to be you, a little thief. You didn't recognize your face even after washing it. Why, you stopped stealing, and changed your career to cheating? You even cheated the imperial envoy. You are really capable!"

"you……"

Zhao Qian stopped Feiling:

"Is this little brother delivering letters on behalf of others?"

"You... how do you know?" Compared to the ferocious Feiling, Gou'er was more afraid of this stern-faced person who drew his sword without saying a word.

"Since you are from my hometown, please come in and talk about things about your hometown!"

Reach out to grab the dog and bring it into the post.

"Huh? He..."

Zhao Qian made a gesture, Fei Ling understood, and tapped her head:

"I'm all confused, I didn't even think about it, really damn it!"

"Let go of me, why don't I stop looking for it? I..." The dog was scared now, and wanted to struggle to run away, but it was no match for Zhao Qian's strength.

Entering the hall, Zhao Qian put the person on the chair.

"Sit down and talk slowly, don't be afraid, we won't hurt you. If you talk well, there will be silver rewards for you."

"Is there really a silver reward?"

"It depends on what you're talking about! If it's what we want to know, rewarding silver is of course indispensable."

Gou'er didn't expect to get two rewards for reporting a letter. He was so happy that he nodded quickly:

"You... No, who of you is Zhao Qian? Let me tell you, my dog ​​is not a person who is immoral for money. I promised him first. If you are not Zhao Qian, I will not say .”

"I am Zhao Qian!"

"You really are?" Dog looked at him suspiciously.

"really!"

"That's all right. A man told me to find a man named 'Zhao Qian' and tell him that there is news about Mr. Jin. If you want to know, go to the Laifu Inn in the city to find him."

Fei Ling opened her eyes wide:

"That's all? What kind of person is the other party? How tall is he, how old is he, is he black or white..."

"He's just a farmer under 20 years old. He's not too short, not as tall as Zhao Qian. And..." Gouzi thought hard.

Zhao Qian patted Feiling's shoulder, looked at Gouzi and said:

"I'll go with you, and if we meet at the place, your bounty is really indispensable."

The dog jumped to the ground:

"Then let's go!"

Feiling worried and hurriedly followed.

…………

"Master, where are you going?"

Jin Yao is speechless:

"I'm not going anywhere, just walk around the yard to stretch my muscles."

"The servant is with you!" Yuling and Zhuling hurriedly put down their work and followed Jinyao.

Jinyao helplessly did not refuse.

It's been six or seven days, and she hasn't left any shadows in her heart, but the people around her are quite frightened, and they all watch her closely, and they follow her every step of the way.

"That's fine, call Feiling and Nanny Sun, and let's go to the street to buy some special products and give them away when we go back."

As far as the number of her friends is concerned, she definitely can't bring her things back, so she can only be transported by a horse and cart.

"Okay, wait for the slaves to get the banknotes. We have to go to the bank to exchange some silver." For some small things, people can't find banknotes, so they only accept cash, and they have to exchange some copper coins.

Next to Jinyao is a little girl named Cui Er, who is only eight years old this year. She is Gou Er's neighbor. They grew up together when they were young. After the disaster in their hometown, they became orphans together. These days, the two of them are like brothers and sisters. , supporting each other to live till now.

Fourth Master thought that Gou'er was quite clever, and when he returned to Jiangcheng, he took him by his side, and Gou'er took the opportunity to bring Tweet in.

"Sister Feiling, let me get something, I'm strong!"

Feiling squeezed her thin and thin arms:

"Wait until your little arm grows flesh and becomes strong, then help me hold it!"

Tweety pursed her lips, feeling a little apprehensive.

It was so easy to meet a nobleman to take her in, to feed her and wear her clothes. She naturally wanted to work harder to repay her, but there were not many places where she could be used. Will work to drive her away.

There is no shortage of people around Jinyao, so how can she really use a child cruelly, but seeing her so uneasy, she said:

"Help me hold the candied fruit box."

"Yes, master!" Tweety happily took a box that Yuling gave out from her hand, and hugged her tightly in her arms for fear of being snatched away, making everyone laugh.

"Second Master and Third Master are here, now we can feel more at ease, no one will dare to do anything wrong again!" Fei Ling relaxed.

"Second brother came here with an imperial decree. Once these pests are eliminated, Jiangcheng will be much quieter."

On the third day after Jinyao and the others came back, the second and third brothers rushed over day and night with the imperial decree.

They didn't take a car, but came here on horseback. Nian Gengyao knew the urgency of the situation when he received the news. He was not only worried about the fourth master, but even more worried about Jinyao. Nian Shunyao, who was called a cabinet attendant, was actually a random migrant, leading his guards on horseback.

When Jinyao saw them, they both turned into clay figurines, which made her feel distressed. After seeing that she was safe and sound, the two elder brothers also relaxed and were so tired that they were almost carried into the room.

This frightened Jinyao, she took Nanny Sun to adjust the medicine package, and asked the guards to help them take a bath, and they were alive and well the next day.

At this time, Jinyao also knew that the emperor was very furious when he heard the news that the fourth master had asked someone to bring him back to Beijing. He directly appointed Nian Gengyao as the temporary governor of Huguang to replace the former governor Kali, and the other officials involved were dismissed After investigation, he was escorted back to Beijing by the Imperial Forest Army who followed him to await trial.

Nian Shunyao, on the other hand, had no actual official position, and followed him as an accompanying official, actually asking him to help Fourth Master repair the new embankment.

Many of Nian Shunyao's ideas are very practical. Kangxi valued him very much. He wanted to let him go to the embankment to have a look, but he couldn't think of any good ideas. It can save a lot of human and financial resources for the court and increase a lot of tax revenue.

So the three brothers and sisters met again in Jiangcheng.

Jinyao looked at Nian Gengyao:

"Second brother temporarily acts as the governor of Huguang. Does that mean he has to go back to Hunan to sit in town? Will he still live in our original home?"

Nian Gengyao nodded:

"I won't live in Hunan for a long time. The most important thing now is to repair the river embankment. I will travel between Hunan and Hubei."

Jin Yao frowned:

"I don't know how long this temporary position will last. What about my second sister-in-law and Brother Xi? Are you coming with me?"

"What are they doing here? Their mother and daughter are used to life in the capital, and besides, I might return to Beijing someday, so why bother?"

This is true, there is another consideration that he didn't tell Jinyao.

The younger brother and younger sister are both in the capital, and it is the emperor's order for him to return to Huguang, but how can he be at ease with them, leaving the Fucha family in the capital, so that he can know earlier what's going on, so that he can protect them.

What's more, even if he trusts his Nian family father and son after tasting Kangxi, it is impossible for them to serve as governors in different provinces at the same time, so the post of governor of his generation may really be handed over after a while of.

Jinyao was both happy and a little sad.

"Second brother can be regarded as a 'successor' if he can become the governor of Huguang. It's just that our brother and sister will be separated again. I don't know when we will see each other again. My parents are in the south of the Yangtze River, and our family is actually separated into three places."

"Silly girl, we will see each other in three or two years at the most, so why be so sad. I'm not in the capital anymore, and the mansion needs you to worry about it. You know your third brother's temper. Let him be a scholar." No one can compare to him, but you don't listen to outside affairs, so don't worry about leaving all the affairs in the house to him."

Jin Yao nodded:

"That's nothing. The second sister-in-law is also capable. The third brother is not ignorant of outside affairs. If it is impossible, the fourth master will not ignore it. Don't worry. You should pay more attention to yourself when you are alone. Anwei, don't let your guard down just because you have been operating in Hunan for a few years, and follow other people's ways!"

Nian Gengyao is funny and heartwarming:

"Understood, you can rest assured. Besides, you were injured on your arm a few days ago, and it is not completely healed yet, but you have to be careful and take care of it carefully. You love beauty so much, don't leave scars and you will be angry again later. Already!"

Jinyao's sentimental emotions disappeared immediately, and her eyebrows raised:

"When have I ever been angry because of something like this? I would flatter and slander me!"

Nian Gengyao looked at the fried Jinyao with a funny face, and nodded obediently to admit his mistake:

"That's right, my sister is the most kind-hearted, gentle and generous, it's the second brother who said something wrong, I apologize to you!"

Jin Yao raised her chin proudly:

"Finally you told the truth, that's enough, my lord forgives you a lot!"

"Thank you sir!"

Standing at the door, the fourth master was speechless watching Nian Gengyao, who had always been wise, coaxing his younger sister into brother Xi, and even played a role-playing game. He looked so good, it would be hard to believe if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

"The blueprint for the new embankment has been finalized, come and discuss the feasibility."

Nian Gengyao and Fourth Master have always had a good relationship these years, and there is no need to pretend to maintain a persona, and nodded with a smile:

"Come on! Jin'er go and play by yourself, pay attention to your arms!"

"Okay, I see, you are busy with your work!"

He took the time to pass his warm tea to fourth master.

Fourth master didn't dislike it either, and did it directly, apparently he was hot and thirsty running outside.

Although it has only been more than half a month, it has been raining and the temperature is low before, but I don’t think it’s too hot. If it’s sunny today, the temperature will rise immediately. Everywhere on the embankments, people were sunburned.

Jinyao asked someone to fill two urns with the prepared tea, and asked them to take it with them to quench the thirst of Nian Shunyao and Thirteenth Elder Brother.

With no outsiders around, I stretched lazily:

"Tired again, go take a nap."

Feiling immediately helped Jinyao and went back to their yard to rest for a while.

Looking at Jinyao who fell asleep, Feiling and Yuling who were fanning said in a low voice:

"I don't know if it's because I fell into the water and hurt my roots again. I feel that the master's body has deteriorated."

Yuling looked suspiciously at the sleeping Jinyao, her face was not as pale as before, these days Nanny Sun has been recuperating, so there shouldn't be any serious problems, how could it get worse?

shook his head and said:

"In the end, you know how to tell, but I don't see any difference."

Feiling shook her head, and was about to speak, when she saw the little girl sweeping outside gesturing to her at the door, signaling Yuling to look at her master, and she tiptoed out.

"What's the matter, poking around."

"Sister, someone from Commander Zhao outside delivered a message, saying that a person was caught, and that person said he was an old servant of the Nian family, and asked you to go and identify it."

"Nian's old servant?"
