Yun Yun looked over, made a silent gesture to him, walked quietly behind the man, and patted him hard.

Niu Dazhuang turned his head in fright, saw Yun Yun's face, and said excitedly, "Why are you here?"

"Why are you here?" Yun Yun asked back.

"After I went to Qingzhou with you last time, the business has improved. This year, a family is going to the capital in the spring of this year. I gave a lot of money, so I tried to come, and then I made two trips. No, I just came here a few days ago. , See if anyone wants to take it back."

"That happens to be when we are going back, let's go all the way."

"You came to the capital to take the imperial examination, are you going to go back to be an official now?" Niu Dazhuang saw that Yun Yun's face was full of smiles, and the clothes on his body were different from those of farmers like them. He must have become a high official.

"It's not a big official, it's just a small county magistrate."

When Niu Dazhuang heard the county magistrate, he hurriedly bowed, "This county magistrate is the magistrate of a county, but he is a high-ranking official, and he is in charge of the entire county."

"Isn't the prefect of the state capital a great official?"

Niu Dazhuang scratched his head and said, "Master County Magistrate, don't make fun of me. I'm just a coachman. If you know anything, you know that being an official is different."

Niu Dazhuang was half acquaintance with them, so Cheng Mu was relieved when he brought them back. After packing up everything, they made an appointment to set off in three days.

When Aunt Zhang learned that they were leaving, she couldn't help crying. When they arrived at the door, she kept telling them to be careful all the way and pay attention to safety on the road.

"Aunt Zhang, we will pay attention to it. It is very sunny outside, so you should go back quickly." Cheng Mu persuaded.

"Hey, I must go back to the capital to have a look when I have time, and I will say hello to you, Young Master."

"Thank you."

After Niu Dazhuang loaded all the things into the carriage, he drove the horse out of the city.The city wall of the capital is still tall and majestic, Yun Yun looks at the city wall through the window, as if now is a new beginning.

Yun Yun thought that he had to know something about the situation in Qingzhou first, so that he could start to rectify when he arrived in Baiyang, so he asked, "Brother Zhuang, how is Qingzhou going now?"

Niu Dazhuang sighed as he spoke, "My lord, you don't know. A few days ago, for some reason, a new prefect took office. It is said that the taxes of each household this year are much higher than before. It's getting harder and harder."

"The imperial court has been oppressing the people. It's okay if there is no war now. If there is a war, you can see if there will be civil strife." Yun Yun said angrily.

"Don't be too discouraged, let's go back to Qingzhou first."

In summer, the days are long and the fodder is plentiful. The horses eat a lot and naturally run fast. It is only the middle of August in Qingzhou.

When I got out of the carriage, I felt a moist feeling, a long-lost feeling.

When Cheng Mu paid the money, Niu Dazhuang insisted not to accept it, saying that Master Qingtian was lucky to ride in his carriage, so he didn't want the money.Cheng Mu still gave it to him. The horses were tired along the way, and the people's food money was wasted, so Niu Dazhuang had to accept it.

Qingzhou Prefecture.

Yun Yun stood outside the door and said to the boy guarding the door that the new county magistrate of Baiyang County has come to order, please let him in.

The young man was lying on the railing of the gate and looked at the two people standing there, "I'm going to rest for a while, and the prefect is not here. Come back in a few days."

Yun Yun wondered, "Isn't it every [-]th rest, today is not the turn of rest."

The young man patted the ashes on his body and stood up, "My lord has the final say on the entire state capital of Qingzhou. He can rest whenever he wants, and you can control it."

"I can't control it, but the royal law of the court can control it?"

The servant sneered, "Boy, I think you don't understand anything. The royal law of the imperial court is set by the imperial court. You can change it however you want. My master is the fourth prince's distant uncle. If this royal law is really useful, You will sue the court!"

Cheng Mu tugged at the corner of Yun Yun's clothes and gave him a wink, the two had no choice but to leave first.

"It's really far away from the emperor's control!" Yun Yun said unfairly.

"The fourth prince is really powerful now, and anyone who is somewhat related to him is probably fawning over him, so let's be careful."

"Success, there's no rush anyway, why don't we go back to Linchuan."

After finding out that the prefect of Qingzhou has one day off every five days, and the next time will be three days later, Yun Yun and Cheng Mu will go back to Linchuan directly.Along the way, Yun Yun kept saying, "The boy told the eunuch about me in three days. If the eunuch finds out that I'm not there, do you think he will be anxious? Anyway, I'm also an official of the imperial court, so he directly turns people away. Besides, it is estimated that he will not be able to sleep in the future."

"You will also refresh your mind."

"It's not my fault. If the people in his state capital were not so violent, I wouldn't be so unreasonable."

When she arrived in Linchuan, she went straight to the town, thinking that Confucius and Chu Qianqiu didn't know about him yet, Yun Yun couldn't wait to go to the school.

The school remained the same as last year, except that the people inside were different. When they arrived, the students just came out of it.When Yun Yun saw them, she seemed to see her former self waiting for Cheng Mu at the door.

"Master, Ah Yun is back!" Yun Yun shouted from outside the small courtyard, and a slender figure came out after a while, and Yang Xiubo came out with a pen in his hand.

"Ayun, you're back, hurry up, the master and the teacher's wife are out today, and I'm here alone."

Cheng Mu didn't want to disturb them to reminisce about the past, so he said that he would go to Chu Qianqiu's clinic first, and Yun Yun didn't refuse, he knew Cheng Mu was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable.

"It's not good for you to dismiss Cheng Mu like this." Yang Xiubo asked a little worried.

"It's okay. If he's here and we just talk and leave him there, I think he'll be even more uncomfortable."

"Are you going to be a high official when you come back this time?"

"No, just a small county magistrate."

Yang Xiubo put his arms around his neck, "You can, our school has not had an official for several years, if Confucius knew about it, he would be so happy."

"Don't talk about me, how are you? Are you a teacher in the school now?"

"Well, even if I'm half a master, Confucius said that I have to practice for a few years first, so I sat behind him, but I am also a person with a monthly salary. Although there are not many people, it is no problem to support myself. Mother is proud to be in town."

"I'm also proud of you. Work hard. When Confucius returns to his hometown, you will be able to succeed him."

"Yun Yun, how long have you been back this time?"

"Ten days or so, I still have to go to Baiyang."

"Baiyang? I heard it's a bit chaotic there."

Yun Yun spat out the melon seeds in her mouth and asked, "What are the rumors?"

"It's not a rumor, it's just that the feng shui there is not very good. In recent years, there have been many cases, not to mention fatal, but they have all seen blood."

Yun Yun's heart sank, and most of her interest lost, "What is it all about?"

"I've heard that it's all about the family's short-sightedness. The people there are a bit tricky and always like to do things, so they don't have a good reputation in Qingzhou."

"Okay, thank you for what you said to me today, at least I'm prepared."

"Let's not talk about it. I don't know if it's true or not. There is a newly opened roast goose restaurant in the town. It is said that it is full of color and fragrance. Come, I will take you to eat."

"Cheng Mu isn't here yet, don't eat there, if you really want to invite me, pack one for me."

Yang Xiubo replied, "You kid was not like this before, why are you so cunning now, Cheng, just treat it as my welcome feast for you, a roast goose will strangle you to death."
