Dear, please don't forget that she is just the county head, don't mess with her about government affairs.
Fang Qi was glared at by Qi Bao'er and realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly stopped and tried to reduce his sense of presence.
His father is the magistrate of Cao County, so he has been nurtured since he was a child, so he is used to it.
However, including Qi Baoer, no one really blamed him. This was a very habitual thinking. Just Qi Kangan and Twelve Liang, one is a biological father and the other is a close subordinate. First of all,
The problem that Shi was thinking about was the same as Fang Qi's.
It's just that County Magistrate Cao didn't really entrust the affairs of their government to Qi Bao'er, the county head. He just pretended not to hear what Fang Qi said.
"County Lord, I would like to ask the County Lord to stay in Xiangzhou County for a few more days." This was what he wanted.
He is a county parent official, how can he entrust his responsibilities to a child?
If he really did this, how could he be worthy of the official robe he was wearing?
To say that Magistrate Cao was selfish, he did nothing else except open the city gates to let the murderer in and out at will.
What's more, he had already reported the matter to the imperial court. If it was a big matter, the imperial court would send someone there. He estimated the time between the memorial and the emperor's sending someone. If nothing else happened, the imperial court would arrive in the next few days.
Even if another murder occurs by then, those who want to come to the court should find a way.
He just took a fancy to Qi Baoer's skills and hoped that a master would be in charge in Xiangzhou County before the people from the court came.
This request was not too much, so Qi Bao'er agreed after thinking about it. According to her father's words: "Just rest here and go home to celebrate the New Year."
Speaking of Chinese New Year, Twelve has something to say.
After returning to the guest room, Twelve reminded: "County Lord, you are going to Beijing for the New Year this year, so we still have to go back early."
This is the first year that Qi Bao'er has been granted the title of County Lord. Maybe the bacon and iron mines will make things even better. This year's palace banquet will have to be exposed.
It was also a formal meeting with many dignitaries in Beijing.
Qi Kang'an: "Ah, is Bao going to Beijing for the Chinese New Year?" Why didn't anyone tell their family about this?
Twelve gave Qi Kang'an a glass of water and said: "If someone else has to do this, of course he has to go, but the emperor is manipulating our county chief. The county chief is not willing to go, and I don't think the emperor will blame him.
only···"
After a pause, Twelve Gai faced Qi Bao'er and persuaded in a low voice: "County Lord, I think you still have to show your face. I heard from Little Coconut that inviting you to the banquet is the empress's personal decree.
When she was in the palace, the empress took great care of the county lord, and the emperor always treated the empress differently."
The emperor does not enter the harem. Although new people enter the harem every three years during the draft, in the past twenty years the emperor only went to the queen's palace to sit and stay, rarely staying overnight.
Outsiders only think that the emperor is a woman who only cares about governing the country but has no other thoughts. In fact, the emperor is not very good at it.
Outsiders don't know this, but they can't hide it from the emperor's personal Qiwei and Linwei.
This is the secret they will carry into the coffin.
No matter what you say, the emperor is always special to the queen.
Twelve felt that even if the emperor indulged Qi Bao'er, Qi Bao'er should still give some respect to the queen, so as not to violate the emperor's taboo.
A little milk baby who has only known each other for a few months, and a queen who has been special for more than 20 years. Is it necessary to think about who is more important than the other?
Qi Kang'an also nodded repeatedly when he heard this, "The Queen has personally issued the decree. We can't push this matter away. Bao, when the time comes, daddy will send you to Beijing. When you go to the palace for the banquet, daddy will stay at the inn and wait for you."
Qi Baoer, on the other hand, looked indifferent and leaned lazily on the chair, not knowing what he was thinking.
Seeing this, Qi Kang'an and Twelve looked at each other, both of them looking a little sad.
——Does this mean you don’t want to go to Beijing for a banquet?
They all know Qi Bao'er's temperament, not familiar with liveliness, let alone trouble.
One, Qi Baoer is his most beloved daughter.
One, Qi Baoer is his master.
The two of them couldn't do anything to force her to pray for treasures. Seeing how she seemed to be very repulsive, they really couldn't think of any other way besides being worried.
I advise you, that's not right.
It’s also wrong not to advise.
After a few breaths, Qi Baoer sighed and said, "We still have to make some money, and we have to get a house in the capital."
Qi Kang'an: "..."
twelve:"!!!"
It turns out that you looked gloomy just now because you were thinking about this!
Qi Kang'an was the oldest daughter, and his mind was instantly taken away by Qi Bao'er's words, and he continued to think, "I have to buy a condom."
My daughter will be required to go to Beijing frequently in the future. It will be troublesome to have no place to stay.
Twelve looked at Qi Bao'er with a surprised look on his left, and then at Qi Kang'an who had 'how much money is left in my family' written all over his face. To make sure that they really didn't remember, he had to remind him loudly:
"County Lord, Sir, have you forgotten that the County Lord also has a County Lord's Mansion in the capital?"
Both father and daughter were stunned: Is there such a thing?
Now Twelve was speechless, "County Lord, when the Emperor made you the County Lord, one of the rewards included the County Lord's Mansion. It is located in Alley 3, East Street, Inner City, central Beijing. It is a very good location. You can live nearby.
The person living here is either a prince or a princess, and the county owner is the first person since the founding of the country to be able to live there."
If you say that, then we won't be sleepy anymore.
This is a house in Beijing, how much does it cost to buy it?
Both the father and daughter's eyes lit up instantly. Qi Baoer sat upright, knocked on the table, and said, "Tell me more."
The four eyes staring at him were full of money, making Twelve wonder if he was the sick one.
Can a big house in the inner city of Beijing be measured by money?
"My subordinates have not seen the mansion that the emperor gifted to the county lord, but they know where it is.
It used to be the residence of Prince Pingyang, which occupies half a street. Prince Pingyang liked to be extravagant. Later, after the house was confiscated, although everything in the house was confiscated to the treasury, Prince Pingyang made changes from beginning to end.
My subordinates heard that even the partition walls are made of gold-threaded southern wood.
County Lord, after the house became vacant, people who cared about it could queue up at the city gate in Beijing. However, it has been almost thirty years since the emperor has granted it to anyone.
Half a year ago, the emperor suddenly ordered the house to be renovated. Many people in the capital were watching, and even Princess Hexiao wanted to take it. It was said that it was for Princess Ningping to live in, but the emperor did not agree."
Twelve is half gossip and half reminder. Others in the capital don't care. Princess Hexiao, the county master, should put some thought into it. He is not a generous master.
Qi Kangan's face turned green after hearing this. Is it still a trap to share the house?
"Twelve, do you mean that my baby has become a thorn in the eyes of many people in Beijing?"
"Master, please relax, it won't happen. No matter whether they are civil or military officials or clan members, they will always act according to the emperor's wishes. The emperor treats our county master so differently, although it will make many people envious and jealous.
But at the same time, it will also make them afraid, but they will not dare to do anything to the county lord."
The emperor's clear reward was to build a mansion that neither the location nor the specifications could accommodate for a county lord to live in. On the contrary, it would make everyone more sure of Qi Bao'er's status in the emperor's mind and not dare to mess around.
On the other hand, if the emperor just wanted to reward Qi Bao'er with a small, remote house that met the standard, everyone would think that the emperor only treated Qi Bao'er like that, which would be detrimental to her.
