Chapter 394: Li Wei Returns to Beijing

"Master." Shui Yue, who had been waiting outside the mansion for a long time, came up to help Ling Ruo get off the sedan. If you look carefully, you will find that her lips are pressed together and slightly upward, with a smile that cannot be concealed, and the curtain of the sedan is opened on the side.

Shuixiu also had the same expression, while Hongli, who ran outside early in the morning, let out a cheer for some unknown reason.

His eyebrows, as delicate as willow leaves, frowned slightly, and he asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

"Master, you will know after seeing it." Shuiyue deliberately let it slip.

"You girl." Ling Ruo scolded lightly and supported her hand to get out of the sedan. As soon as she stood firm and didn't have time to see what was going on around her, she saw a man in gray clothes striding up to her and taking a photo.

He knelt on his knees and said loudly: "Slave Li Wei greets the master, may the master be blessed!"

Li Wei? Ling Ruo was suddenly startled and soon turned into a lot of joy. He looked closely and saw that it was indeed Li Wei whom he had not seen for a year. No wonder they were all smiling. He quickly helped him up and said: "Get up quickly.

When did you come back?"

Li Wei had an excited smile on his face, "I just arrived in the capital not long ago, and I wanted to pay my respects to my master. Unexpectedly, the people in the palace said that my master had gone to pick up Brother Li, so I am here waiting for my master to come back."

Ling Ruo nodded and looked around, but there was no sedan or carriage. Instead, there was a woman holding a boy standing not far away, looking a little embarrassed. Hongli was looking at the boy who was younger than him curiously.

I guess

They were the wife and children mentioned in Li Wei's letter. Not long after Li Wei took office in Jiangyin County, he asked for a housewife at Ling Ruo's urging. The next year, he gave birth to a big fat boy. The family was harmonious and beautiful. "You guys

How did you get here, and where is the sedan?"

Li Wei chuckled and did not answer, but Shui Xiu pursed her lips and said: "Returning to the master, Li Wei originally hired a sedan to come here, but he said that he was a servant from the palace. If he arrived in a sedan in a swaggering manner,

At the entrance of the palace, it was disrespectful to the prince and master, so I got off the sedan in the front street and walked all the way here."

Ling Ruo glanced at him angrily, "I never thought you were so pedantic before. It takes more than half an hour to walk from Front Street to here. It's fine for you alone, but what about your wife and children?

Aren’t you going to tire them out?”

"Master, don't worry. Xiao Cui is used to farm work and housework. These journeys won't tire her. It doesn't matter if Huzi has a servant and Xiao Cui to hold her." As he spoke, he urged the woman and the child to come up to see the gift.

Before they could kneel down, Ling Ruo had already supported him and said with a smile: "Li Wei is my slave in name, but in my heart I treat him as a family member. My family does not have to perform these false rituals."

Seeing that Xiao Cui couldn't kneel down, she had to pull Hu Zi Fu Yi Fu and said, "Thank you Fu Jin."

Hongli quietly walked up to Li Wei, pulled his sleeve and whispered excitedly: "Uncle Li, tell me about the case you judged later, okay?"

It's strange to say that Li Wei came to the palace at most once a year, and usually exchanged letters more often. However, Hongli and Li Wei were extremely close to each other, which was even better than meeting each other all day long. Especially since Hongli

After he became sensible, every time he saw Li Wei, he asked him to tell him about all the things he encountered when he was the county magistrate or even the county magistrate.

He listened to this strange and difficult case with great interest every time. At that time, he was only three years old. At that time, Li Wei was afraid that he would not understand the case he was talking about, so he tried his best to explain it in simple words. Only later did he realize that it was him

It’s unnecessary. Hongli’s understanding ability is very good. Even if there is something he doesn’t understand, he will ask him immediately.

Li Wei was flattered by his title, "I have said it many times. Brother Li calls me by this name. A slave with the word "Uncle Li" really cannot bear the responsibility."

"It doesn't matter, let him scream if he likes it. Now you are also an official of the imperial court. There is nothing you can't afford." Ling Ruo said with a smile and said: "Okay, don't stay outside. Let's talk after we go in.

.”

Just as Ling Ruo was about to take a step, Li Wei came over to hold her hand, as if he was still working as a servant in the palace, "I will help the master in."

Ling Ruo was very touched by his kindness and loyalty, but he took his hand back, "I've been told that you are an official of the imperial court, so you must act like an official. How can you still serve me, my old master, like before?

But it doesn’t look like anything.”

"Don't say that the slave is just a county magistrate now. Even if he becomes a prefect, governor or even a governor in the future, he is still the slave of the master. Without the master, there would be no slave today. Being able to serve the master is a blessing that the slave has cultivated for many generations." Li Wei

He was very determined and kept his hand stretched out in mid-air without taking it back.

It was the first time for Xiaocui to meet Ling Ruo, so she was inevitably a little nervous and reserved, but at this moment she couldn't help but interject: "Master, ever since I followed Li Wei, he has been saying good things to me in front of me.

I always look forward to having the opportunity to serve my master."

Ling Ruo's eyes were red, and she shook her head helplessly. The hand wearing the tortoiseshell and jeweled flower and butterfly armor gently touched the back of Li Wei's hand, just like before in the palace.

Li Wei was very excited. He helped Ling Ruo in with his body trembling slightly. He didn't put it down until he reached Jing Si Ju. After Ling Ruo turned around and sat down, he saw Li Wei's family still standing there and signaled Shui Xiu to bring the embroidery pier.

He waved his hands and said, "I'm tired after walking all the way. Please sit down."

"Minions are fine, just stay standing." Li Wei said.

Before Ling Ruo could speak, Hongli said with a smile: "Uncle Li, since E Niang is your master, you should listen to E Niang, otherwise it would be disrespectful."

Li Wei didn't expect that Hongli would put such a big label on him, so he had to sit down sideways. Xiaocui was the same. As for Huzi, who was still a little ignorant, Hongli had already pulled him to sit next to him, and from time to time he would

The snacks on the red sandalwood table were handed to Huzi for him to try.

Li Wei took the tea from a friendly maid and asked Shui Xiu curiously: "Are these the new servants?"

"Well, after you left, Chen Shu betrayed his master again and was beaten to death. Jingsiju was short of manpower, so he asked the senior executives to send a few over. After paying attention to them for a while, they turned out to be honest." With Chen Shu's lessons learned,

Naturally, they are more careful when choosing people. It is difficult to guard against domestic thieves day and night. In this palace, the most feared thing is that the people around you stab you in the back without making a sound.

Ling Ruo took a sip of the fragrant Size tea and said to Li Weid, "How many days do you plan to stay this time before leaving?"

"I'm going back to Beijing to report on my duties this time. I'm afraid I'll have to stay longer. I don't know if the servant will be allowed to stay in office after the official performance appraisal or something." Li Wei is not too worried about the official performance appraisal. He has been in Jiangyin these years.

county government

Achievements were achieved through hard work. Originally, there were bandits in Jiangyin County who were causing trouble and robbing food and women, causing the people to suffer miserably. But every time they finished their work, they hid in the mountains, making it extremely difficult to catch them. Instead, they suffered a lot of losses.

manpower, in

The matter has been shelved. As long as this problem is not eliminated, there will never be peace in Jiangyin County. After Li Wei became the county magistrate, he offered suggestions to the then county magistrate to arrest him again, but Mr. Sun, who was the county magistrate at the time, was a former

After fear of wolves, fear of tigers

As a person, and his term was about to expire, he was afraid that another trouble would affect his career, so he rejected Li Wei's proposal. It's strange that these rogues existed when the county magistrate was here a few times ago.

Don't come up to him.
