Chapter 98: A New Mayor

Yang Huai'en acted as if he didn't see the complacency in his elder brother's heart, but went out of the guest room, so he ordered the housekeeper to ignore whatever requests Uncle Yang had, and also sent two capable servants to wait on him and watch over him. .

This home... belongs to him, Yang Huai'en, not Dafang and the rest of the Yang family. So, do you want to be the master of the Yang family in the capital?That is wishful thinking.

The steward of Yang's mansion was given to Yang Huai'en by Kou Jiancheng, the Minister of Rites. Naturally, he was thinking of the old master in his heart, and he was wholeheartedly planning for the old master.

Therefore, even if Yang Huai'en, a concubine, did not order him, he would not let the mud-legged people from the countryside run amok in this mansion, so he bowed and respectfully answered yes.

After Yang Huai'en made arrangements for the mansion, he went to report to his father-in-law's house, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, saying that he wanted to take his wife and children back to his hometown to visit relatives, and then he wanted to go back and have a look, so that the family could do some business and earn some money.

There is no need to say clearly about making money, Kou Jiancheng also understands that what the son-in-law said is for himself.

It meant that he went back and asked his family members to collect money for his father-in-law in the name of doing business, so that he could manage those officials in the capital who could talk, and use the strength of the whole family to clear the way for the promotion of the Minister of Rites.

As long as the servant of the Ministry of Rites can rise a few steps, that person will ascend to heaven. Although Yang Huai'en is the son-in-law of a concubine, he is still his own son-in-law, won't he follow suit?
Kou Jiancheng liked Yang Huai'en's self-knowledge and his eyesight. He understood some things and words without spending too much time on his own, so he was really proud of his son-in-law.

After Yang Huaien reported to his father-in-law, he got permission and set off with his wife and children.

As a native of Xiangshui Town, he knew exactly how many inns there were in the town, so he wanted to leave Kou Wenjuan and her son Yang Ruibao to stay in Suianju Inn temporarily, and then he went back to Xiaya Village to deal with Su Jinxiu.

At first, Kou Wenjuan was not happy, but Yang Huai'en gave her a promise, saying that she would go back and deal with that bitch of the Su family properly. Our Yang family will be upright and honorable, and we will marry you once, so that you will not be killed in the future. I underestimated it.

These few good words coaxed Kou Wenjuan to be elated, and she naturally listened to her man's arrangement.

After setting up his wife and children, Yang Huai'en took the boy out of the Sui'anju Inn, and first planned to go to the town government yamen to settle accounts with the mayor Zhang.

But when he arrived at the yamen of the town government, it was not the mayor Zhang who received him, but the new mayor.

The new mayor's surname is Hou, his name is Hou Dehai, and he comes from the capital.

Before the new town mayor came, he was only a small guard in the capital. Because he accidentally rescued a young master from the Shunyi Houfu, he was recommended by the Shunyi Houfu to Xiangshui Town and became the mayor of the town. .

As for where did the former mayor Zhang go?
Naturally, it is because the Xiangshui Town under the governance is not only peaceful, but also has a rare treasure, which has made great contributions to the agricultural production of the Ming Dynasty. With credit, he was promoted to the county magistrate and went to Suizhou to serve as the county magistrate .

At this time, Yang Huai'en didn't know that Song Yuanqing was involved in Xiangshui Town, so he was in the capital for nothing.

"Mayor Hou, I'm going back to my hometown to worship the ancestors this time, and I have some other personal matters that I want to ask about. Mayor Hou can also make it easier for me."

Yang Huai'en knew that Mayor Hou was from Shunyi Hou's Mansion, so he might not be able to persuade him, but he still wanted to remove the husband's record from him.
