Even though he said this, the emperor still approached Yin Li.
So Yin Li's letter arrived in Beihai County.
At this time, Governor Guo had left his post and returned to Beijing, General Liu had not yet taken office, and the Qingzhou side was temporarily in charge of the Chang Shi and Magistrate Lu.
Yin You received a letter from his father calling him back to Beijing. After thinking about it, he put away the letter and went to Bai Shan, "I have finished handing over everything in hand to you."
Bai Shan asked: "When do you plan to set off?"
"We still have to ask Bai Er and Princess, but we are not in a hurry," Yin He said, "I will write a letter back first to explain that the handover will take time. August is the time when the seafood is at its most abundant. I will bring some with me.
Beijing, just go back before the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"You are weak and small. You can't rush too much on the road. It's better to set off early and leave enough time on the road."
Yin You nodded and asked: "Where is Senior Brother Tang now? I don't know when we can meet him this time. I wonder if he has time to come to Beihai County to get together."
Bai Shandao: "In Laizhou, last month was the day when salt was produced in the second quarter. An official ship transporting official salt in Laizhou sank. Originally, the case was closed. It was the work of pirates at sea, but the incident was reported
In the capital, His Majesty was furious and ordered my senior to go for a review. He specially rushed there from Linzi County half a month ago."
Because Beihai County is right next to Laizhou, there happens to be a salt farm in Beihai County, and half of the official salt is transported by official ships. He knows the situation at sea very well, so Tang He wrote to him specifically to ask about the situation at sea.
Bai Shan's official ship was occasionally harassed by pirates, but it had not been sunk by the enemy. Ultimately, it was because the official ship was borrowed from General Liu, and now the person in charge of these three official ships is General Liu's son.
It was also because General Liu, Bai Shancai and General Liu knew each other, and they started to keep in touch.
However, due to the prosperous shipping industry in the past two years, there have indeed been more robbers on the sea.
Bai Shandao: "Let me write and ask. It's not far from Laizhou to Beihai County. Well, just invite him to Longchi. Don't you want to eat seafood? Let Manbao take two days off, including taking a rest.
Let’s go to Longchi to stay for a few days.”
Zhou Man is now the director of the Qingzhou Medical Office and the director of the Beihai County Medical Office. She is the eldest official, so she asks for leave with herself.
She calculated the recent events and found that there were not many. The main reason was that everyone started harvesting beans, and fewer people went to see a doctor when the farming season was busy.
So she agreed generously, approved a leave note for herself, and then handed the matter to her deputy Zheng Gu. She took her family to Longchi first.
On the contrary, Bai Shan and Yin or Bai Erlang were one step behind. They still had some things to deal with and they would wait until they were done.
It is more convenient for Bai Shan to go to Longchi. He can go directly without even needing a note.
Longchi has changed drastically.
The carriage came around the spacious official road. When you look up, you will see a large archway with the four characters "Longchi Wharf" written on it. After passing the archway, you will see a spacious street that goes straight to the end. Riding on the horse, you can vaguely see the end of the street.
Pier and sea.
The entire dock town is tilted towards the sea, with similar shops and houses on both sides. This is a prosperous town that is no less prosperous than the county seat of Beihai County. Streets and alleys connect these houses.
Although it was only built less than three years ago, all the shops are open, and there are a lot of business travelers coming and going, and there is a lively sound of selling when you enter.
But instead of going down the street, they turned left and followed another road up the hillside.
There is a unique courtyard halfway up the mountain, with a spacious road connecting it to the door.
The servants in the other courtyard had already received the news that the master was coming, and they had sprayed water and cleaned the road and open space at the gate early.
Seeing the carriage approaching, a steward with a white face and a relatively small stature immediately trotted forward with his servants. As soon as the horse and carriage stopped, he led everyone to kneel beside the carriage, kowtowed and said, "I welcome you, slaves."
Your Highness the Princess, Your Highness the Princess."
A palace maid said: "Get up."
He immediately got up, but ran forward to help Zhou Man hold the horse, with a flattering smile on his face, "Princess Princess, it's windy and sandy, why don't you take the car?"
Zhou Man shuddered and jumped off his horse, "Don't call me empress. I'm a little cold. You'd better call me Mr. Zhou."
"I don't dare." He smiled and took Zhou Man's horse to the side and handed it over to the servant, then hurriedly went to the carriage to wait. The curtain was opened, and a maid stepped down on the stool first, and then turned around and helped Ming Da.
Come down...
Mingda smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? But the princess is a good name, so I will call her that from now on."
After being praised by Ming Da, he laughed happily and said "yes" repeatedly.
When Mingda got out of the car, two little heads popped out of the door. Bai Jingxing and Bai Ruoyu used their hands and feet to climb out quickly.
When the waiter saw it, he couldn't help but say "ouch" and carefully reached out to the car to catch them, for fear that the two of them would roll down.
Zhou Man stretched out his hand to lift two of them down, "You're so old, you're still crawling, and you can't walk?"
Mingda glanced at her and said, "You would rather hide away and ride a horse by yourself. I don't know how noisy they are in the car."
Zhou Man gave her a flattering smile, put the two children on the ground, and then went to the car behind to pick up Zheng and Xiao Qian.
Although Zheng and Xiao Qian took care of the two children more, for some reason they liked to play with Zhou Man and Mingda. Whenever they went out, they would stay by their side and they would not be torn apart no matter how much they did.
Bai Jingxing and Bai Ruoyu often come to Longchi Courtyard, and they don't need anyone to take them with them. They just run in as they know the way around them, followed by a group of palace maids and servants.
As soon as the gate of the villa on the mountain was opened, many people in the big town below knew that the nobles from the county were here again.
"There seem to be more people coming this time, there are three carriages."
"I saw Master Zhou. She was riding a horse. Do you think that if I give her a bucket of sea cucumbers, will she give me some medicine?"
"Tsk, is Mr. Zhou the one who needs a bucket of sea cucumbers? She can't buy it herself? If you want to ask Mr. Zhou to see a doctor, you have to either go to the medical office to try your luck, or ask her for something she has never seen before."
"By the way, I heard that a Mr. Wu came to Dengzhou last year. He gave Mr. Zhou a sea fish that no one had ever seen. Mr. Zhou was very happy after receiving it, and then he cured Mr. Wu.
"
"What kind of disease is it that you came all the way from Dengzhou?"
"It's infertile. He brought his wife here. I heard that they are both over the age of three and have no children. She got pregnant after living in Beihai County for four months. Counting the time, she should have given birth by now.
?”
There were many people talking about it, but no one really dared to go to other courtyards to disturb it, because they knew that people from other courtyards would definitely come down.
Sure enough, after a while, the door of the other courtyard was reopened. This time, Mrs. Zheng and Xiao Qian did not go out. They had traveled for half a day and were a little tired, so they stayed in the courtyard to rest.
The two children were full of energy, and they had slept in the car for a while, so they couldn't sit still at all, so they took a sip of water and then each dragged their mother out.
The servants brought the horses. Zhou Man and Mingda carried the children onto the horses, got on the horses themselves, and took them down the mountain.
Sitting on the horse, the child Bai Jingxing was so happy that he clapped his little hands and shouted in front of him, "Go to the duck——"
Zhou Man kicked the horse in the stomach and rushed up, and the wind and earth filled her up and left. Little Bai Jingxing closed his mouth instantly, but he still couldn't hold back the cough.
Zhou Man couldn't help laughing.
Mingda couldn't help laughing and walked beside her, "How old are you and still making trouble to her like this?"
