Chapter 40 First Arrival in Wushan County

"Not really." Ye Xiangxiang said harshly.

Meng Tianlang actually took the buns back, "Okay, then I'm greedy, I have to eat two."

After saying that, he actually sat next to him and started eating the steamed buns. Ye Xiangxiang could not help but salivate as he smelled the aroma.

It's really weird. I didn't like steamed buns the most in my previous life, but now I can't stand the smell of them. Hey.

Meng Tianlang finished eating a steamed bun and turned his head to look at her, "You really don't want to eat it? I can eat it if you don't."

He tried to bite, but Ye Xiangxiang gritted his teeth, reached out and snatched it from his hand, and ate it hungrily.

Hot steamed buns, a food that I never looked at in my previous life, have now become an unparalleled delicacy.

too delicious.

Ye Xiangxiang was almost moved to tears. The smell of wheat was in his mouth. After chewing carefully, the sweetness came out. The more he ate, the more delicious it became.

After eating one steamed bun, I felt very satisfied.

She ignored Meng Tianlang's jokes and looked in front of him and said, "Thank you for buying steamed buns for everyone. We haven't had such delicious food in a long time."

Ye Xiangxiang smiled slightly, "I never thought that one day, eating steamed buns could become such a happy thing."

"I haven't thought about it either." Meng Tianlang looked into the distance, his eyes becoming complicated.

We continued our journey in the afternoon and slept outdoors in the evening. We asked for directions along the way and finally arrived in Wushan County successfully.

Ye Hongchang found a place for everyone to rest temporarily. He took Ye Xiangxiang and Ye Liwen to the county government office and met with the county magistrate first.

Ye Liwen couldn't help but said, "Xiangxiang is really powerful. Even my brother, I, is not as good as you. If it weren't for your help to my second uncle this time, it would be difficult for us to come to Dayan smoothly."

"Brother, please don't say that. You are a scholar of our Ye family. You are indispensable for things like becoming a county magistrate. When you settle down smoothly, you still have to study hard. Someone in the family still needs to take the imperial examination." Ye Xiangxiang comforted him.

The Ye family is living a good life, and the Wang family loves their children and grandchildren very much. As long as it is the right path, then they can do whatever they want.

Ye Liwen is the son of Ye Hongfu and Li, and the grandson of Ye's parents. He is sixteen years old this year. He has known since he was a child that he should study and study very hard in order to honor his ancestors in the future.

Ye Lixuan is different. He is interested in catching fish and birds and loves to play.

Ye Liwen has been depressed since he embarked on the road to escape. Ye Xiangxiang understood that he probably didn't know where his future was and whether he could continue studying in the future.

After listening to her words, Ye Liwen felt better and smiled slightly, "Well, as long as I have the chance, I will definitely study hard."

While they were talking, several people arrived at the gate of the county government office.

Ye Hongchang went up and said, "May I ask how we can meet the county magistrate?"

The yamen officer at the door glanced at him and said, "If you beat the drum and complain, you will be able to see him when he is promoted to the hall."

Ye Hongchang said hurriedly, "We are not reporting to the official, but we have something to do with the county magistrate. Please send a message."

The yamen servant didn't want to answer, so Ye Liwen said, "Dare you ask if the registrar is here? We do have important matters. Please give us a message. If the registrar ignores it, it won't be too late to drive us away."

Seeing that he didn't act like a street gangster, and he was afraid that he was actually someone the magistrate knew, the yamen officer said, "Wait a minute."

Soon the county government clerk came out. Seeing them in tattered clothes, he looked unhappy and said, "Where are you from, and what do you want from me?"

Ye Liwen handed the letter over and turned the signature on the cover towards him, "General An ordered us to deliver this letter to the county magistrate. Please do it for your convenience and pass it on." General, he quickly took the letter and looked at the few people again.

"You guys come with me first."

Several people breathed a sigh of relief, followed him into the county government office, and were arranged to wait in a hall.

The chief clerk hurriedly went to find the county magistrate, "Sir, there is someone outside asking for a meeting, and he also handed over a letter."

The magistrate of Wushan County, whose surname is Zheng, is in his forties. He usually pushes away things when he can. He only focuses on raising flowers and birds. The way to be an official is not to offend the people above him and to keep himself safe throughout his life.

He was standing in front of the shelf teasing the parrot. He was a little impatient when he heard this, "I am so free, how can I see anyone? I pushed him away, but he disappeared."

While he was talking, the chief clerk had already handed over the letter.

"My lord, I'm afraid I have to see you. Take a look. This is a letter from General An. We can't afford to offend you."

Hearing this, Magistrate Zheng quickly put down the bird food can in his hand, took the letter and asked, "But Princess Jin's brother An Feiyao?"

"Oh, besides him, who else can be General An? Look at what's written in the letter. Don't blame us for not providing good hospitality that day."

Magistrate Zheng opened the letter and read it before saying, "Fortunately, it's not that, it's just a group of refugees. General An asked me to help settle them. I'm afraid these people have something to do with General An."

He asked, "Where are those people?"

"We are waiting in the side hall. Sir, do you want to see me now?"

Magistrate Zheng nodded, "Okay, let's go now. Princess Jin is very favored, and her brother has also begun to lead the army alone. She really can't afford the crime, but it's just a trivial matter, and she won't offend anyone if she does it." "

"That's the truth."

Ye Hongchang waited in the hall with his two children for a long time, but no one came, and he began to beat a drum in his heart.

Now that the letter has been handed over, if the magistrate is not seen, the chief clerk will not return the letter. How should we deal with it in the future?
  In the past, he only went out to do small business. He had never dealt with people in the government, and he was not sure what kind of temperament these people were like.

Just when I couldn't sit still, two people came in at the door, one of them was the bookkeeper just now.

The chief clerk said, "This is the magistrate."

Ye Hongchang hurriedly stood up to greet him, "Ye Hongchang, a common man, has met the magistrate."

Ye Liwen and Ye Xiangxiang also saluted.

Magistrate Zheng was very polite and said with a smile, "No need to be polite, just get up, sit down and talk."

Ye Hongchang was feeling unsure just now, but now that the magistrate had a good attitude, he felt relieved.

After sitting down, Magistrate Zheng asked with a smile, "Where are you from?"

He had no choice but to tell the truth, "We came from Xiliang. We couldn't make a living because of the war in Xiliang, so we fled to Dayan."

Magistrate Zheng sighed, "Hey, I also know about this. When there is a war, the people are the ones who suffer. But it's hard on you. I just saw three of you. The letter said there are fifty-one people."

Ye Hongchang said hurriedly, "Afraid of disturbing your peace, the others are waiting outside the county town, just waiting for us to come and get the matter settled."

Magistrate Zheng slapped his thigh and said, "What can we do? It's been very hard after traveling for so long. How can we be wronged again when we get to this place? Come on, go get everyone back and order the kitchen to start cooking. What a treat.”
