Xu Qing has not yet received the imperial edict to be ennobled. Without the edict, the title of Count Anding is not his own, so he cannot move to the residence of Count Anding yet.
Xu Qing didn't plan to tell his father-in-law about this now, because if he told his father-in-law, it would only be treated as a joke.
Just like Lizi last time, even if I told my father-in-law, he wouldn't believe me. By the way, my family is actually the Duke's mansion. Do you believe it?
He doesn't believe it!
Who would believe what you say without some evidence these days?
It’s like when your parents ask you to find a job after you have just graduated from college, you tell your parents that you already enjoy state-level treatment and don’t need to find a job at all!
Parents won't believe it after hearing this. Not only will they not believe it, but they will take you to the hospital to have their brains examined. Why is this child still talking nonsense?
…
When Magistrate Su and his party arrived at the county government office, the county magistrate Anding, the county lieutenant, the chief registrar and other officials were already waiting at the door to greet them.
Anding County Magistrate looks about the same age as Su County Magistrate, and looks a little tired. It seems that since the former Anding County Magistrate was transferred, he has been worrying about the affairs of the county government.
But now, the new county magistrate has arrived, and he can finally take off the burden on his shoulders.
The Prime Minister of Anding County stepped forward and bowed: "The Prime Minister of Anding County, Zhao Yue, and the officials of Anding County Government have met Mr. Su!"
Magistrate Su County also raised his hands and said: "Comrades, please get up quickly. Since I first took office, I also ask all colleagues to work together and encourage each other."
The Prime Minister of Anding County stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I will take your words to heart."
Having said that, the Anding County Magistrate stretched out his hand and said, "Sir, please come in quickly."
Magistrate Su has also been a county magistrate, so he is naturally familiar with the county magistrate's office procedures, and the handover of affairs was very smooth.
The accompanying guards had completed their mission. After the guard leader said goodbye to Xu Qing, he returned to the Xian Prince's Mansion in the capital with a group of guards.
Now the three magistrates of Su County have just arrived. They don't have a residence in Anding County yet, so they can only live in the back office of Anding County Government Office.
The back office of Anding County Government was originally a temporary residence for the newly appointed county magistrate, but the area of the back office is not large. If the county magistrate brings his family to live with him, the space will be very limited.
Fortunately, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.
Xu Qing, Su Qian and Xuan'er simply tidied up the small back office and they were ready to live in it.
At this moment, Xu Qing was already looking forward to the imperial edict coming as soon as possible. This place was too small and living there was very uncomfortable.
Now Xu Qing just wants to unlock his big house as soon as possible.
Alas, I think back to when I first came here, the living conditions were not as good as here! Not only was it not as good, it was far worse.
Now I have begun to dislike the living environment here. It is really easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality!
As soon as they finished cleaning up the houya, Xu Qing was called out by Magistrate Su.
Xu Qing looked at Magistrate Su in the small courtyard and said, "Why did my father-in-law ask my son-in-law to come over?"
Magistrate Su County said: "The back office space is small and it is inconvenient to live in it. My father is thinking of looking for a house nearby."
Xu Qing nodded and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry. This matter will be taken care of by my son-in-law. In a few days, our family will have a big house to live in."
When Su County Magistrate heard this, he patted Xu Qing on the shoulder: "This time it will cost you money."
Xu Qing smiled and said: "Family, why are you so polite?"
In the evening, Magistrate Su had to attend a cleansing banquet prepared by many officials of the Anding County Government for Magistrate Su, so he could not eat at home.
Su Qian is already a woman and is not suitable to go out and show off.
His wife didn't go, and Xu Qing certainly wouldn't go either. He stayed at home and bought some vegetables and meat to cook for himself.
It's a pity that spring has just begun, and the only things you can buy are cabbages and radishes...
Since Xuan'er was the only servant now, there was naturally no special place for the servants to eat, so Xu Qing simply asked Xuan'er to come and eat with him.
Xuan'er ate at the host's table for the first time, and she was somewhat reserved. She only dared to eat the dish closest to her...
So...the plate of stir-fried pork with cabbage was gone...
After the meal, Xu Qing looked at Xuan'er washing dishes next to the bucket, and his eyes widened with curiosity. Xuan'er didn't look fat, how could she eat so well?
Where did all the food go?
Xu Qing looked at Xuan'er and then at Su Qian. Well, the scale is about the same. It seems that the flesh is indeed growing where it should be.
Now that the meat is growing where it should, Xu Qing doesn't worry about the little maid getting obese.
Not only is he no longer worried, but Xu Qing also has the idea that he wants Xuan'er to eat more...
Although Magistrate Su had drunk a lot of wine when he came back, he was still in good spirits and seemed to be getting along well with his new colleagues.
Xu Qing and Su Qian helped Magistrate Su back to his room, and then they also returned to their room.
inside the house
After Xu Qing and Su Qian lay on the bed, Su Qian waved her hand and pointed at the candle on the table not far away, and the candle went out on its own.
Xu Qing, who was watching this scene, was stunned for a moment. At this moment, he had a new understanding of his wife's strength.
Turning off the lights in the air, is this the legendary true energy?
In the darkness, Xu Qing held Su Qian's weak body in his arms, and when he was about to close his eyes and sleep, Su Qian suddenly said: "Husband."
Xu Qing heard Su Qian's voice and said "hmm" and said, "What's wrong?"
Su Qian's voice fell silent again. Finally, after seemingly brewing for a long time, Su Qian plucked up the courage to say, "Husband, let's... let's consummate the marriage."
If there were lights at this time, Xu Qing would definitely be able to see that Su Qian's face was already flushed. It was obvious that Su Qian mustered up much courage to say this.
Xu Qing was suddenly startled after hearing this, and then hugged Su Qian tightly: "Madam, in a few days, when I take you to live in our big house, how about we consummate the marriage?"
When Su Qian heard Xu Qing's words, she just said "hmm" softly, her voice like a mosquito: "I listen to my husband, but...why?"
Xu Qing hugged Su Qian's soft body and said, "Madam, think about it, there is only a wall between the bed in my father-in-law's room and the bed in our room..."
When Su Qian heard Xu Qing's words, she immediately understood what Xu Qing meant, and her face turned redder and hot...
If her father accidentally heard her voice when consummating the marriage, Su Qian would really be ashamed...
In the end, Su Qian huddled in Xu Qing's arms and her voice was almost too low to be heard: "My husband is still thoughtful."
Originally Xu Qing didn't want to develop so fast, but Su Qian took the initiative to propose it. What would Su Qian think if he refused again?
Of course, since Su Qian took the initiative, Xu Qing stopped being a saint.
Between beasts and beasts, Xu Qing is still willing to choose beasts...
It's just... In a few days, he will be the real Anding County uncle, and Su Qian will be the wife of Anding County uncle, not a small businessman, so he wants to keep the good things in that night...
Of course, I am also afraid of affecting my father-in-law next door. If he feels uncomfortable in the middle of the night, it is difficult to find a brothel in an unfamiliar place...
