Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 71 A strange official career

That same night, Meng Changqing came to Wen and the others excitedly, "Mom, Mom, a few houses have been built over at the county government office, and we can move there tomorrow."

"Will you move tomorrow?"

"Yes! We will move there tomorrow." Meng Changqing said, "Living in a cave for a long time is not good for your health. Several rooms over there have built-in kangs, so it will be more comfortable to live there."

"Okay, it's up to you. Let's pack our luggage tonight. Where are your own things?" Wen asked, "Do you want your mother to come over and help you?"

"No, I don't have much, just a few boxes of books that Bafang has packed away." Meng Changqing still had to say hello to Yu Tai, and he left after only a few words.

After she left, Liang Jiujiu said: "I see that the child has been a lot happier recently. In the past few days, I heard from the guards outside that she either didn't sleep all night or wouldn't get up in the morning."

"So, becoming famous at a young age is often burdened by fame." Wen said: "She has already achieved such great achievements when she first came to Beishan County. She is worried that she will not be as beautiful as before in her future work.

Therefore, I am afraid that I will make an oversight unexpectedly and tarnish my reputation. "

Liang Jiujiu smiled and shook her head, "I didn't expect that she would think of this at such a young age."

"She thinks a lot." Wen said in a serious tone, "She has been different from other children since she was a child. I always felt that she could understand what I was saying even when she was a baby.

Maybe I'm too worried.

I failed to give her a peaceful life, and she inevitably had to worry too much to protect herself. It was all my fault. "

"Madam." Liang Jiujiu stepped forward to support her, "How can I blame you? I just blame them for being greedy."

Wen shook his head, "Is it because they are greedy or because the world doesn't want to give women enough dignity?

If there is no man in the house, will he be succeeded by his nephew?I really want to ask the person who set these rules, what was he thinking?

When Meng Sixing and I earned our fortune, where was the so-called clan?
What does the wealth I earn have to do with them?
If you want to use such a rotten rule to steal my life's hard work, I will never allow it! "

Liang Jiujiu patted her on the back and said, "Calm down, don't be so angry with them anymore. Now that Changqing has become an official, with her brains, those people will never try to use tricks on her again." It’s possible.”

Wen held Liang Jiujiu's hand and said, "I know that you have never been relieved for letting Changqing dress up as a man. I am sorry for you mother and daughter.

It was my greed that got you involved. "

Liang tweeted, "Changqing is the general's child. She is willing to protect the family fortune for the general and his wife."

"On that day, I made this decision without any long-term plan." Wen said, "I just wanted the family business of the General's Mansion, and I didn't want to admit defeat, but I ignored your idea and didn't ask you if you wanted to I’m willing to live like this.”

"To be honest, I have regretted it." Liang tweeted, "I have regretted so many things in my life. I regret showing off my skills as soon as I learned them, and I regret persuading my master to give me that painting.

But I don’t regret entering the General’s Mansion, nor do I regret meeting his wife, nor do I regret giving birth to Changqing.

Although we don’t know what the outcome will be in the future, with her evergreen personality, she will never be happy if she is left to be a boudoir lady trapped in the back house for the rest of her life. "

"Changqing's resourcefulness is no worse than that of men." Wen said: "If one day women can serve the court openly, Daliang will be far more prosperous than now. Unfortunately, since ancient times, women have not been able to leave the back house. The higher the nobles, the more There are restrictions on women everywhere.”

"Changqing was able to get the position of county magistrate by accident. This is her luck. Our imperial examinations are very strict. If it hadn't been for this, Changqing would never have had a chance to be in the imperial court."

Speaking of this matter, Wen didn't know whether to be happy or worried, "Like you, I don't know what the outcome will be in the future. Changqing is getting older, and some things are destined to become harder and harder to hide, so when I came to Beishan County I then said it would be good to leave the capital." "Madam, she has to go back after all."

"Then we can only take it one step at a time." Wen said: "From now on, we can only rely on Changqing's own plans."

Early the next morning, the Meng family got up early to load the carriage. Wen and Liang Jiujiu also got on the carriage and waited, but Meng Changqing was nowhere to be found.

"Bafang, have you seen it on the city wall? Will the young master not tell you where he is going?"

Bafang, who was leading the horse, suddenly widened his eyes, "There is a place I forgot to look for." He threw the reins to Laicai and ran towards the hole where Meng Changqing lived, "I said, Master! You haven't gotten up yet, have you?"

He yelled all the way into the pit, opened the curtain, and sure enough, his young master was lying on the bed.

"Master!" Bafang pushed her, "Master! The whole family is waiting for you, can't you afford it?"

Meng Changqing turned over and went back to sleep.

"Oh my God!" Bafang increased his intensity, "Master! Madam and the others are waiting in the carriage. When did you sleep last night? Why can't you wake up?"

Just when he was about to kick him, Meng Changqing suddenly sat up.

"What time is it?"

"It's time."

"It's still early." Meng Changqing yawned and rubbed his face, "Go out and get some water."

Meng Changqing said it was still early, but after washing his face in a hurry, he went to the carriage to apologize to Mr. Wen.

Mrs. Wen never used these little things to educate her. She knew that Meng Changqing could understand his own priorities.

She even came up with an excuse for Meng Changqing, "You are young and are growing up. You were very sleep deprived some time ago, so that's why you are like this."

Meng Changqing was embarrassed to be so considerate. She got on the horse and moved her family to the county government office.

Wen and Liang Jiujiu opened the curtain and looked outside. When Meng Changqing said they were almost there, they saw several earthen houses of different sizes. They thought these were the yamen, but Meng Changqing said: "These are the residences built by the common people themselves. I gave everyone a place, a piece of land, and they could build whatever house they wanted."

After walking a little further, the carriage stopped. Meng Changqing dismounted and helped Wen and the others get out of the car.

"This is the county government."

Today's county government has not yet been completed.

There are just a few huts built in different locations in a large open space.

"The three rooms at the back are where we live temporarily and belong to the back office." Meng Changqing led them as they walked and gestured. "After a while, there will be walls separating them. They will be divided into front and back offices. The front office will handle official business, and the back office will be ours." If the family lives together, then a small door will be opened in the back office so that the family can come in and out easily."

"You are very thoughtful." Wen just praised her. "Just waiting for your yamen to be almost built, I have to go to Liangzhou Prefecture to pick up someone." (End of Chapter)
