Although Magistrate Su County received an imperial edict that seemed to be a promotion but was actually a promotion, he did not receive the edict today and will take office tomorrow.
Since the roads in ancient times were difficult to walk and transportation was not convenient, the time given by the court was still sufficient.
It only takes three months to take office, and some places further away even adjust the time to half a year.
Of course... not all those who received the imperial edict were destined to take office alive. Whether it was Da Chu or pushing the history of Da Chu forward, a considerable number of officials died while walking on the road...
…
It was quite sudden...
Not to mention officials, some princes left the capital and were on their way to their fiefdoms, but they disappeared as they walked...
For example, when King Xian was a child, the second prince and the fourth prince were constantly fighting against King Xian, with the simple purpose of fighting for the throne.
There is no way, the three of them are all the sons of the late emperor's favorite concubine. Others can not want the throne but they cannot, even the wise king who does not like to be the emperor is no exception. There is no difference between the three of them not wanting the throne and not wanting their lives.
In the end, the wise king prevailed and held the throne and the military power of Chu in his hands. Half a year later, the throne was passed to his brother who was a compatriot from the same mother.
The two people who failed to compete with the wise king for the throne could only leave the capital and go to the fiefdom.
It is said that the second prince was seriously ill and died on the road while walking.
The wise king expressed regret and heartache over this incident.
The fourth prince was a little better. It took half a year after arriving in the fiefdom, and then the official statement was that he couldn't adapt to the climate and died of illness in the fiefdom...
The wise king continued to express his regret and heartache...
Just yesterday, King Xian suppressed the raised corners of his mouth and counted on his fingers. His two brothers were about to reach the same age as his daughter...
How could he die of illness just because he was not acclimatized? Yes, how could he die of illness?
The wise king expressed his confusion...
Brothers of twenty years, they are all honest people! Why did God treat them so unfairly? He actually allowed them to die young one by one...
What an eye-opener!
…
After a few days of packing and sorting out luggage and other things, the servants of the Su Mansion were finally ready to set off.
Xu Qing paid for three carriages and planned to use one to load things. Then Magistrate Su and Xu Qing would take one, and Su Qian and Xuan'er would take one.
Although Su Qian's illness is almost healed now, the one-month recuperation period has not yet expired. With Xuan'er here, she can take better care of Su Qian.
As for the maids and servants in the mansion except Xuan'er, it was not convenient to take them with them, so Su County Magistrate sent them all away.
When he dismissed his servants, Magistrate Su became more and more pleased with his son-in-law.
As for why Magistrate Su became more and more fond of Xu Qing? It was because he was using his own money to pay severance pay to the maids of Su Mansion.
The maids and servants who were dismissed all showed reluctance. Of course they were reluctant to leave. Since my uncle came, the lives of these servants have become better and better. In winter, they have free hot water for free.
There are also rewards for receiving money during festivals and festivals.
What servant wouldn't like such a master?
However, I like it, but I still can’t stay if I should.
There are many things in the world that are useless just relying on liking them. If you don’t take the initiative to fight for them, no matter how much you like, they won’t be yours.
The day before departure, when Xu Qing went to Qingxue Study, Qingxue Study was basically half empty. Some of the maids Xiao Ruxue had specially trained were already on their way to the capital, and only a few of them were still maintaining Qingxue.
The operation of Snow Study Room.
New guys are still being recruited.
After Xiao Ruxue, who was feeding the fish in the small house, heard the news that Xu Qing was leaving, she forced Xu Qing to have more than a dozen guards from the Xian Prince's Palace, saying that she was worried about his safety on the road.
Xu Qing couldn't even think about it.
But Xu Qing didn't want it.
The doctor last time said that Su Qian could not use force for a month, and he only had some three-legged cat skills. Wouldn't it be very dangerous if he encountered a robber or something along the way?
Xiao Ruxue's bodyguards were all carefully selected by the wise king, and all of them had good kung fu. They could provide Xiao Ruxue with the best and most comprehensive protection when Xiao Ruxue needed it.
With their joining, Xu Qing will undoubtedly be safe along the way.
Seeing Xu Qing accept her guard, Xiao Ruxue happily looked at the fish swimming in the large indoor tank and said: "Xu Qing, you are leaving tomorrow, can you grill the fish for me again?"
good?"
Xu Qing rubbed Xiao Ruxue's little head and said with a smile: "Okay."
Xiao Ruxue moved a small bench and sat next to Xu Qing, watching Xu Qing flipping the grilled fish on the fire, and occasionally sprinkling some special seasoning prepared by Xu Qing himself.
Xiao Ruxue sat aside during the whole process, staring intently at the grilled fish in Xu Qing's hands.
After Xiao Ruxue waited patiently, a grilled fish finally turned golden and crispy, and was placed on a plate by Xu Qing, with an iron skewer inserted into the fish.
Xiao Ruxue took a bite, chewed and swallowed, and her eyes rolled up: "It's delicious!"
Then he looked at Xu Qing and said: "After you leave, I will go to the capital if you don't want me. When I get to the capital, can you grill the fish for me?"
Xu Qing turned to look at Xiao Ruxue, smiled and agreed: "Okay, I will bake you as much as you want to eat, but... I took away your guard, what will you do?"
Xiao Ruxue hummed: "Every time my father goes to and from the capital, he always asks for a hundred generals wearing armor and carrying crossbows to accompany him! Unless those bandits and bandits are impatient, he won't even dare to come out if he gives them ten courages.
"
Xu Qing almost forgot that Xiao Ruxue usually did not need guards. No bandit who wanted his life dared to face a hundred royal generals wearing armor and carrying crossbows. Moreover, there was a wise man among these royal generals.
Where is the king!
Xiao Ye is very powerful in Xu Qing's opinion, and Xian Wang can handle it with just one hand...
When a mountain bandit encounters a wise king, a monster belonging to the novice village encounters a full-level boss...
…
The next day, when Magistrate Su and Su Qian were preparing to set off, they saw a row of guards wearing black cloth standing straight next to the carriage, with long knives on their waists.
Magistrate Su asked in confusion: "Who are they?"
Xu Qing said: "The guard I borrowed from a friend is responsible for our safety along the way."
Magistrate Su asked again: "Are they reliable?"
Hearing these words, the guards all looked at Magistrate Su and Xu Qing without saying a word.
That look seemed to tell them both: We are reliable!
Magistrate Su felt a little guilty when he saw their sharp and unusual looks.
At this time, Su Qian and Xuan'er behind him came out of the Su Mansion. Seeing such a scene, they frowned and then glanced at the row of guards with a faint gaze.
The guard's eyes immediately turned away after that shot...
