Chapter 202 Taking office
After Jing Xian got engaged, Jing Wan, Wen Han, Jing Ya and the others began to prepare to leave.The place Jinghan and Zixuan were going to was closer, and they would arrive there in about four or five days, so it wasn't too urgent.Furthermore, when Mingyu came, he had already brought some official documents from the Ministry of Officials for Zixuan to take office, so of course Zixuan didn't have to go back to the capital.

Jinghan lived in Xu's house for three days, and then returned to Lin's house with Zixuan, and of course those people had to be brought with her.Back home, everyone started to pack up their things and prepare to go to Zhendong County.

On the second day of May, a group of people set off from the village.This time Zixuan was going out to be an official, so the Xing family specially prepared three carriages.But there were too many things, and the carriage was still not enough. In the end, three flat-bed carriages were hired to pull things, which was enough.

The group left in a mighty manner. When they passed by the town, the Xu family saw them off by the side of the road.There were tears in Chen's eyes, which almost fell down.Wenhan, Jingya, Jingwan, and Jingxian were sent away two days ago, and Jinghan is leaving today, how can the old lady be so energetic?
Mrs. Xue took her daughter's hand and kept telling her to be careful on the road, pay attention to her body and so on.Jinghan also held back tears and waved goodbye to her family.

"Okay, let's go quickly, don't delay the time. The road is quite far, so it's not good to delay." Although the old man was reluctant, he waved his hand to signal Zixuan to leave quickly.

Zixuan helped Jinghan into the carriage, the two waved at everyone, then Anfu waved his whip, and the carriage continued to move forward.Jinghan was in the car, finally couldn't hold back the tears, and cried out.

Zixuan could only hug Jinghan and wipe Jinghan's tears with a handkerchief in his hand. "Miss, don't cry. We are close. If you want to come back anytime, let's find a way to come back. Mistress, you are crying too much. My clothes are almost soaked." Zixuan kissed Kissing Jinghan's forehead, softly comforting. "It seems to be the rainy season. You don't need to cry. There is enough rain. If you cry again, there will be floods."

Jinghan was so teased by Zixuan that she stopped crying, and hammered Zixuan's shoulder with her little hand, "Fuck you, how can I be so good?"

"Who said that? Didn't everyone say that Meng Jiangnu cried down the Great Wall? I'm afraid you'll cry a lot." Zixuan put his arms around Jinghan, helped her wipe off the tears on her face, and then helped tidy up Take a look at your hair. "Okay, it's a good thing that we're going to take office. Don't you want to know what the place we live in will look like in the future? Besides, the scenery along the way is so beautiful. If you just cry, what will you do?" It's all delayed." Zixuan knows Jinghan best, and knows that Jinghan is restless, so he said that.

The weather in May is already a bit hot.In front of the carriage, a layer of tulle was hung, and the small windows on both sides were also covered with extremely thin gauze.In this way, it can be cooler in the car, and you can see the scenery outside if you want to.

Jinghan looked out of the window, and all she could see was the rolling green hills.At this time, the trees on the mountain have not reached the point where the branches and leaves are luxuriant, and the green leaves have just grown to half the size. It is this slightly yellowish green color, which makes the whole mountain look full of spring vitality.Jinghan is used to this kind of scenery, so it's not unusual, she didn't want to look at it twice, and turned to talk to Zixuan.

The two of them just leaned against each other in the car, whispering intimate words, but they didn't feel the hardship of the journey.Gradually, Jinghan became a little sleepy, Zixuan took out a thin quilt, covered Jinghan's body, and let her sleep on his lap.

The three carriages happened to be driven by Anfu, Changshun, and the eldest son of the Zhao family.The men of the Zhao family and the two boys were sitting in the three flatbed carriages hired at the back, which carried all the belongings of Zixuan and Jinghan, so they had to be more careful.

When he left in the morning, Mrs. He brought a lot of dry food.It happened to be this season, and the weather was warm, so everyone just found a place to rest at noon, and then ate some dry food.At night, they lived in the inn, and several men took turns guarding things.In this way, he walked all the way to the northwest, and walked straight for five days before arriving in Zhendong County.

A group of people went directly to the county government office, where they had already received the notice from the imperial court, so the people in the county government office hurriedly welcomed Zixuan and the others in.

Jinghan got out of the car, moved her stiff hands and feet, and then looked at the county government carefully.The houses here are very strange, unlike the ones at home, they are all ridged.The roof of the house here actually looks a bit like Jing Han's train in her previous life, with a slightly bulging roof.And there are no tiles on it, it is just made of mud, which is quite strange to look at.

It is said that it is a county government, but in fact it is just a large area of ​​such houses, and it does not have the luxury or prestige of other local government offices.It looks like this place is really poor.

The head of the yamen led Zixuan and his party to the back, where there was a fairly large courtyard where the magistrate's family lived.The courtyard is divided into two entrances, the front and the back, and there are about fifty or sixty houses, which is enough for Zixuan and the others to live in.

"Master Lin, our Zhendong County is a poor place, and there is no very good house. This is a subordinate who led the people in the yamen, and it took half a month to clean it up. Don't dislike it, sir, that's all." Bo was a little embarrassed and kept rubbing his hands there.

Zixuan smiled, "Master Sun doesn't have to be like this. In the entire county, this is pretty good. Lin was originally from a farming family, so he doesn't have any requirements for these. He can live there, as long as there is no rain leakage. "

Master Sun laughed when he heard that, "Don't worry, my lord. Although our house looks ugly, it will never leak. The mud on the roof is made of saline-alkali soil. Don't you see that the color is red?" ? The soil is very firm, no problem."

"That's good. In this way, let's settle down first, and then we can talk about business." Zixuan felt quite novel when he heard Master Sun's words.

So these people in the yamen hurriedly helped to move the things that Zixuan and the others brought into the yard, and then put the things everywhere according to Jinghan's wishes.After a busy afternoon, this is the end.

In the evening, the people in the yamen said they wanted to invite Zixuan to dinner, but Zixuan couldn't refuse, so he went out.Jinghan sent Changshun to follow, and also took a lot of money to let Changshun secretly settle the money for the meal, so that those people would not pay.This is a newcomer, so be careful in everything.

Zixuan went out to eat, Jinghan and the others had no choice but to cook at home.But I ran into some troubles again. It turns out that there is not so much wood here, and coal is generally used for cooking.Now, these people brought by Jinghan are dumbfounded, no one knows it?Fortunately, there were a few women who cooked and cleaned in the county government. They were all locals.

Jinghan hurriedly ordered Zhao's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to learn how to make a fire and cook with them. Although these women are helping, she has to know it herself.

The man in the Zhao family is called Zhao Shoucai, his wife is Li, and the eldest son was originally named Shitou, but Jinghan changed his name to Chang'an, and together with Changshun, they can be called easily.Zhao Changan's wife, Liu Shi, is a very virtuous woman, and Jing Han stays by her side to help with needlework and so on.Jinghan, the daughter of the Zhao family, also changed her name to Ruyu, and the other two girls were named Ruxue and Rumei.

Jinghan assigned these people jobs and asked them to do their own duties.Seeing that it was getting late outside, Jinghan was a little tired on the journey, so she ordered Ruxue and Rumei to spread the bedding, and then went to bed.

When Zixuan came back, he found his little wife was sleeping soundly, and couldn't help but stepped forward to touch Jinghan's face, "Little lazy pig."

"Master, madam, she is really tired. Hot water has already been boiled in the room next to her. Master, go wash up, and then rest early." Ruyu said beside her.

Zixuan found out his clothes, and then went into the next room, "Okay, you are all exhausted, I don't need anyone to take care of me, go and rest quickly. Cook some of my wife's favorite dishes tomorrow morning, there is no one on the way Eat well." Zixuan waved his hand and let Ruyu go out.

Ruyu was not the one who didn't wink, so she agreed and withdrew.

Zixuan washed himself, changed clothes, and then went to bed with Jinghan in his arms.

Jinghan fell into a drowsy sleep, feeling being hugged by someone, knowing it was Zixuan, she rolled into Zixuan's arms, put her arms around Zixuan's waist, "I'm back so late." Jinghan muttered .

"Well, I have to get acquainted with everyone, and then I will ask about some things here. It will be too late to chat. You ghost, you know how to ask Changshun to bring the money and pay the bill in advance This is the best way. I see that the people here are indeed poor enough. These people in the county government are all a bit poor. If they make money, I am afraid that they will have to find it from the heads of the people in the future. Come back. Jinghan, help me find a way to make this place rich quickly." Zixuan heard the words of these people in the county government office today, and only then did he know that this place is really poor.

Jinghan was already sober now, laying on Zixuan's body, and nodded. "Tomorrow, I will ask An Fu to go out with me to see where to start. This cannot be done overnight. You have to know what to do."

Zixuan drank some wine, and felt a little sleepy now, "Okay, you can handle these things yourself, just ask me if you need me to do anything. It's hard for you to accompany me to this remote place." Zixuan I feel a little guilty in my heart, Jinghan married herself, and she didn't enjoy a few days of blessings, but she will suffer along with it.

"Husband and wife are one body, what's the point? Well, hurry up and go to sleep, I have work to do tomorrow." Jinghan became sleepy and muttered in a daze.
