After taking care of the rest, the Xu family's motorcade set off.
Lord Chu Jiu sent him off in person.
While they were talking, the guards were taking inventory of their belongings for the last time.
Qingxuan came out of the post house in a dangling manner. He wiped the apple in his hand on his clothes and took a bite.
Well, it's crispy, juicy and delicious. It's really good to eat with Miss Xu San.
"Tie everything up! What kind of knot are you tying? It will fall apart after only a few miles. Come over and tie it again."
"You packed this? You didn't even close the box and didn't see it? This is a gift from the Hexing Palace to the third lady. Can you afford it if something goes wrong?"
The one who scolded Wei Jun was the bandit who was brought back from the prison.
Qingxuan watched for a while, and then he grabbed a guard and asked, "Why did the third lady bring these people back? What if there was trouble along the way?"
The guard replied: "Yingtian County is short of people. These people have committed crimes and should do hard labor to atone for their sins. What are they afraid of making trouble? They are all shackled. We still have so many people. If they have the courage, just give it a try."
Qingxuan heard the arrogance in his words and thought to himself, it seems that the people around Miss Xu San are elites! Not bad, barely worthy of him.
Wei Jun checked it again and confirmed that there were no problems before ordering the car to be sealed.
But before setting off, another accident happened.
"For me?" Xu Yin looked at the limo in surprise.
"Yes." The man who came in the gift car had a flattering smile on his face, "If Miss Xu San hadn't acted righteously the day before yesterday, not only would something have happened to the prince, but we might not have been spared either. So I will wait for a moment and send these Cheng Yi to chat.
Express your feelings.”
Xu Yin looked at Mr. Chu Jiu, thinking that he had already known about it in advance. He looked calm at this time and nodded to her.
Xu Yin did not refuse, ordered the guards to accept it, and ordered to set off.
Young Master Chu Jiu stood by the roadside and said to each other: "Have a safe trip and see you soon."
Xu Yin nodded gently: "See you later."
After leaving Hexing City, she looked back. There were willows and willows on the roadside, and many gentlemen and ladies stood beside the carriages and horses to see each other off, waving identical sachets or fans in their hands.
Xu Yin touched his forehead and sighed, but Xiao Sang laughed out loud.
…
Because they had a lot of extra luggage, the return journey was slower than the journey back. Three days later, they arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Princess Changning had already sent someone to wait at the foot of the mountain. When she saw them, she immediately stepped forward to greet them.
Qingxuan was speechless: "There are so many people? You three young ladies are so impressive."
The guard next to him disagreed: "What do these people mean? Yingtian County is just a temporary residence, and we haven't reached Nanyuan yet!"
"That's not what I meant." Qingxuan waved his hands and said, "I mean, I have also seen other ladies. No matter how noble you are, you only have more maids and women around you. How can you have so many elite soldiers to escort you..."
The guard proudly replied: "Our third lady is the young master of Nanyuan, so of course it is different. You took over the job of Prince Hexing's Mansion, but you don't know what the situation of Nanyuan next to you is?"
"Hey! I'm just returning the favor. What does it have to do with you guys fighting over me!" Qingxuan scratched his head, and belatedly realized that he seemed to have found a great job.
Young Master Nanyuan, so, this Miss Xu San is not only the apple of Governor Xu's eye, but also the future owner of Nanyuan. I heard that she is also engaged to the son of the Duke of Zhaoguo, and she will definitely be extremely wealthy in the future, and maybe she herself
You can also create a marquis. Although female marquises are rare in history books, they are not unheard of.
Qingxuan thought about it in confusion, and soon they returned to the village.
Xu Yin stopped for a short rest and continued on his way to the county seat.
In the county government office, Princess Changning was so worried that she was pulling her hair out.
Lao Yu was almost healthy, so he came with him this time. Before entering the palace, he worked in Taichang Temple and was good at trivial matters. Princess Changning took him as a staff member and brought him to Yingtian County this time, which really helped. Quite busy.
"The most important thing in people's livelihood is food. To get food, you have to farm, and you need people to farm. If you want people to farm, they need food and clothing. Food and clothing cannot fall out of thin air. All of this requires money..." Princess Changning muttered something, and finally sat on the chair. Paralyzed, "Where can I find money?"
Lao Yu was sorting out official documents beside him. Yingtian County had experienced the military disaster and had long been reduced to an empty shell. There were so many things to sort out. They had just finished sorting out household registration, money and food in the past few days since they had been here.
Before coming, Princess Changning did not expect it to be so difficult. She had already discussed the political orders with Xu Yin. For example, she would transfer a group of officials from Nanyuan and ask the surviving district chiefs to report to the county government office. First, they could put up a good show. Then. It is a routine tax exemption, confiscating abandoned fields, and encouraging people to farm...
The advantage of being an empty shell is that the wealthy family has been destroyed by the rebels and bandits, so they don’t have to fight with those people. The disadvantage is that they are really poor! They don’t even have money to repair leaks in the county government!
Princess Changning was pampered and pampered until she was fifteen years old. She never imagined that one day she would live in a leaky house, and even a corner of the bench was missing!
To ask is to regret.
"Why didn't I study hard with my master before? I learned nothing from the most powerful master in the world!"
Listening to her muttering, Lao Yu smiled and comforted: "The princess has done a good job. Now that the refugees have returned to their hometowns, they have also picked up the farm work. It is not easy to organize the government affairs of a county. Take your time."
"Then we have to let them have food to eat, right? How can we open up wasteland when we are hungry?"
Lao Yu said: "It really doesn't work out. Let's write a letter back and borrow some money to meet our urgent needs."
Princess Changning said: "I can work with A Yin because Governor Xu trusts me and asks for help when encountering trouble. How can this be done?"
Lao Yu was at a loss for ideas. He used to be in charge of ritual utensils and sacrificial vessels, but he had never been an administrative official!
"Otherwise, let's wait until the third lady comes back and ask," he said. "Counting the time, it's almost time."
He said that Cao Cao had arrived. As soon as he finished speaking, someone came to report that the third lady was back.
Princess Changning was so happy that she threw down the book and ran out: "Ah Yin!"
Seeing the lively Princess Changning, Xu Yin breathed a sigh of relief: "How is it? Are you okay when I'm not around?"
"There are good things and bad things." Princess Changning held her hand, "I have ordered people to do all the things we decided before, and the household registration and money and food have been sorted out, but there is one thing that is quite difficult."
"Huh?" Xu Yin responded casually, while instructing the guards to unload the gifts and carry them into the county government office box by box.
Princess Changning was about to speak when she saw the guards opening the box. Colorful jewelry, exquisite jewelry, gorgeous and bright brocade... She was stunned: "What is this?"
"I've been away for so long, so I have to gain something, right?" Xu Yin said with a smile, "The county has lost money and food, right? It's just used to do things. By the way, what did you say you were embarrassed about just now?"
"No more!" Princess Changning said happily, "Ayin, you are really the Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves the suffering!"
