Lucky husband

"Captain Li, thank you so much!" The lost baggage was returned to the original owner, and the person who lost the baggage thanked happily.

"It's what I should do." Without staying any longer, Li Chengshi's family of three left the tea shed in peace.

At this time, the man was repacking the things in the bag, and he said in his mouth: "Fortunately, Li catcher picked up the bag today. The young lady is pregnant and can't come with the young master to take up the post. The lady will explain to you." I must send the family letter to the young master as soon as possible, lest the young master worry about the young lady and the family..."

Li Chengshi, who had already walked to the door, heard these words, the word "take office" was a little vague, he was not sure if he heard clearly.

If that person was talking about Changping County, there is only one possibility for him to take office—Xinzhi County who is about to come to take office.

The previous county magistrate served two terms in Changping County for a total of six years. It happened that when he came to Changping County, it was the year Li Chengshi came back from the battlefield.

Therefore, Li Chengshi has never experienced the handover of the magistrate, and he is not very clear how long this process will take.

The previous magistrate had only left for a few days, and the experienced officers in the county government had heard from the old adults that Changping County was a relatively affluent county, and it was easy to make political achievements here, and the magistrates who could be assigned to Changping County were basically in I have held positions in other places, and I was transferred to look for opportunities to move up. Therefore, it usually takes a long time for Xinzhi County to wait until the notice to come over after the next year.

These three days happened to be Mu Xiu, and Li Chengshi didn't know what was going on with the county government. If the person just now was really from Xinzhi County, did it mean that Xinzhi County had already arrived?

Walking on the road, Li Chengshi had been thinking about this matter. He hadn't felt much about changing his immediate boss, Zhixian, and he suddenly became a little nervous.

Jiang Zhiyun found that Li Chengshi hadn't let go of his brows since he left the tea shed, and on the way back, he talked significantly less and looked worried. She saw that Li Mingjin accidentally bumped into him: "Brother Shi, what's wrong, is there something wrong?" Did you give the burden to the wrong person just now?"

Li Chengshi shook his head: "It's nothing, the burden is not wrong, I'm thinking about other things, I'll talk to you when I get back."

On the way back, Li Mingjin hummed a little tune and skipped forward, because he helped the person who lost his baggage in his dream to find his baggage, and he felt that he had done a good deed.

After returning to Li's house, Jiang Zhiyun asked Li Mingjin to wash his hands first, and then let him drink a glass of water before letting him go out to play.

At noon today, Li Mingjin followed Li Chengshi and Jiang Zhiyun to leave after eating, and it has been nearly two hours since he came back.

Bai Xiuhe and Li Caoye had already gone home. Li Mingjin saw the aunt busy in the yard and thought of Tang Tang's cousin. He excitedly ran to the yard of Erye Li's house.

On the left side of Li's house, Jiang Zhiyun pulled Li Chengshi into the house and closed the door, and asked him softly: "Brother Shi, what were you worried about when you were walking on the road just now?"

If Li Chengshi hadn't said that and told her after returning home, Jiang Zhiyun would not have asked. Since Li Chengshi had said it, then he must have wanted to tell her about it.

When there was no outsider at home, Li Chengshi said, "Yunniang, I'm thinking about our brother Jin's dream last night."

Jiang Zhiyun was puzzled: "Didn't the incident in Brother Jin's dream have already happened, so is there anything else to worry about?"

Li Chengshi lowered his voice and roughly said what he heard the person say: "Yun Niang, do you still remember that you said that brother Jin's dreams, either something good happened or something went wrong."

"I analyzed it carefully. Today's incident is not a problem for us, so something good should happen."

"Based on what I overheard when I left, do you think that this person is a domestic servant of Xinzhi County, and the family letter was written to him by someone from Xinzhi County's family, telling him about his wife's pregnancy, if the magistrate listens When the servants say that finding the letter has something to do with me, will they have a bad impression on me?"

"Xinzhi County's appointment is not a good thing for our entire county government officials. We don't know if Xinzhi County will choose some of us to show its power."

This was the first time Li Chengshi talked about his official business in the county government in front of his family after Mu Xiu came back this time. It was only now that Jiang Zhiyun knew that the magistrate of the county would change.

She could not only understand Xianggong's worries about Xinzhi County as a county government official, but also think about it as an ordinary person.

As the saying goes, once the emperor and the courtiers, this saying is also applicable to the magistrates of the local parents and officials. Different magistrates will have different behavior habits. Conscience will do.

The previous county magistrate treated the local people very well during his term of office. He was free from corruption, acted fairly and honestly, and had no wrongful convictions.

Li Chengshi saw that Jiang Zhiyun became worried after he heard that there was a change in the magistrate, and he comforted her: "According to the speculation of our county government, those who can come to Changping County are adults who want to go up, and they will work hard for their political achievements. You won't be a corrupt official when you do things, you don't have to worry, Yunniang."

Jiang Zhiyun was not so easy to be fooled by him: "Why don't you let me worry, Brother Shi, you kept frowning on the way back, it must not be as simple as you said."

"It's really not a big deal." Li Chengshi regretted that he had been thinking about this on the way back, and Jiang Zhiyun misunderstood it.

"I'm just worried that if that person tells Xinzhi County about this, the adults will misunderstand that I am good at making money. When the new official takes office, the first fire will be burned on me."

"Of course, it is very likely that he will not tell Lord Xinzhi about this matter. After all, it was his fault that he almost lost the burden. Telling Lord he is scolding himself."

The things in the luggage are not expensive, just a suit of clothes and a letter, like this kind of letter sent directly by the family, it is not an official document, there is no confidentiality in it, and it is not a letter sent by others, some people do not know how to seal the envelope , Just write the content and stuff it into the envelope.

Last year, Li Chengshi saw that the former magistrate dealt with a case where the sender asked someone to imitate the notes to defraud the writer of the letter because the letter was not sealed.

If Li Chengshi opened the package in advance and read the contents of the letter, he would definitely know that the letter was written to him by the family of the newly appointed county magistrate. Maybe he would join forces with the owner of the tea shed to make a play for Xinzhi County.

Li Chengshi couldn't recall whether the letter that the man took out after unpacking was sealed or not. It would be fine if it was, but it would be more troublesome if it wasn't.

Li Chengshi didn't express his thoughts behind. Jiang Zhiyun, a woman from a Taoist family, was very clear about the ins and outs of her parents, but she didn't know much about those things outside.

So, she was very puzzled when she heard her husband's words: "We helped him get back the burden, how can we blame us?"

Li Chengshi shook his head: "It's not our fault, it's just that I'm used to thinking about things outside, and I thought so much after hearing what that person said."

Seeing Jiang Zhiyun frowned and still thinking, Li Chengshi opened the door: "Don't think so much, these are just my guesses, maybe I got it wrong, this person has nothing to do with Xinzhi County. I seem to have heard Kanger's words Crying, let's go see if he's hungry."

Jiang Zhiyun buried her worries in her heart, and went out with Li Chengshi, she seemed to have heard Li Mingkang's cry, Kang'er must be hungry after they went out for so long.

At this time, in an inn not far from the county government office, the man who had lost his bundle ran into the inn and found his young master through the token.

The young man who was sitting in front of the window looking at the gate of the county government heard a knock on the door, stood up and looked at the person who came by: "Fulin, why are you here?"

"Third young master, you will know after reading this letter from home." Fulin who delivered the letter respectfully presented the well-preserved letter from home.

This young man is Zhao Chengze, the third son of Mr. Zhao, the servant of the Ministry of Officials in the capital. He is the new magistrate who came to take office. With mixed qualifications in a remote place, he was directly sent to be the county magistrate of Changping County, starting as a seventh-rank official.

The content of this family letter was written by Mrs. Zhao, and there was only one content, telling Zhao Chengze that his wife was pregnant and could not leave immediately to take office with him. Come to Changping County.

Zhao Chengze has a very good relationship with his wife. He was very happy when he found out that his wife was pregnant. He was about to have a son or daughter. lock up.

But looking back, he knew that his wife would not come to accompany him in a short period of time or even up to a year, his mood became complicated, and he complained about why the child didn't arrive later.

After reading the letter from home, Zhao Chengze put it away, and while studying ink to write a reply, he casually asked Fulin what happened on the way to deliver the letter, and why the letter was delivered a day late.

Because Mr. Zhao was in the Ministry of Officials, Zhao Chengze knew the location of his foreign assignment in advance. He packed his luggage during the Chinese New Year, and went out after the eighth day. It only took fifteen days to travel normally from the capital all the way to Changping County.

Zhao Chengze looked at the date his mother wrote at the end of the letter, and calculated that the letter should have been delivered yesterday.

Fulin explained: "Returning to the young master, the third young lady felt unwell in the afternoon and asked the doctor to come to the house for a pulse check. It was already late when the lady wrote the letter, and the younger one set off the next morning."

Zhao Chengze nodded, picked up a pen and began to write a reply.

Fulin thought of Li Butou whom he met in the tea shed outside the city gate, and opened his mouth to tell him that he almost lost his family letter.

Zhao Chengze arrived at the county government many days earlier. He did not reveal his identity immediately, but observed the state of the county government officers outside the county government. Every afternoon, he randomly picked a place in the county to inquire about news. He had heard of Li Chengshi.

After listening to Fulin's words, Zhao Chengze showed a thoughtful expression, and he waved Fulin to go out first.
