pastoral little wife

Chapter 727 Homecoming
Nie Zichuan's script is relatively simple. He writes about a virtuous woman whose husband died of illness. She was valued by bullies and repeatedly robbed her. She threatened the lives of her mother-in-law and children and ordered her to remarry, but the woman refused.The bully framed her for having an affair with others, drowned the woman in a pig cage and killed her, and used the river god to avenge her grievances.

Although it is not a story in Liaozhai, the form is similar.If it wasn't for the two of them living together for so long, and not seeing Nie Zichuan acting like a modern person, Yun Duo would have been suspicious.

Because the storybook was written to coax Yun Duo to play, and it was written according to her will. The bad guys will be punished, and the good guys will be rewarded in the end.

But within a few days, Yun Duo discovered that it was all of this kind, and there was no horror in "Liao Zhai".

It was originally written to coax her, and she was pregnant again, how could Nie Zichuan write ghost horror, even if she looked at it without being afraid, she would feel a little scared in her heart.

Mother Luo saw that one of them was writing very happily, the other was very happy to read, Yun Duo had something to do, distracted, morning sickness improved a lot, and they were able to eat some jerky, they were also very happy.

He Wan came to visit Yun Duo again, and asked Nie Zichuan if he had to find a job in the Ministry of Industry. Right now there was a job in the supervisory censor, and Yan Xi wanted to push Nie Zichuan up.

The censor has the responsibility of inspecting all officials, patrolling prefectures and counties, inspecting prisons, and cleaning up court rituals.The supervisory censor was sent down to patrol on behalf of the emperor. The rank was low, but the authority was very wide.Compared with Nie Zichuan seeking a small official position in the Ministry of Industry, he has real power and is easier to be promoted.It's just that they can't return to their original place of work.

Yun Duo just wanted to leave the capital and go to a stable place. Since he could find a position that would be more beneficial to Nie Zichuan's career, he was naturally willing.

After Nie Zichuan thanked Yan Zi for his kindness, he declined and still wanted to find a job in the Ministry of Industry.

Yan Xi was still quite unhappy. Nie Zichuan's articles were neat and sharp, and he looked at political affairs very viciously. He had his own unique point of view. If Jing Xuzi hadn't said that "fate brings evil", he would have put Nie Zichuan in the The Hanlin Academy has honed for three years and given him important tasks can also help him.

But now he obviously has a position as a censor, which is quite suitable for him, but he has to seek an official position in the Ministry of Industry that has no real power, and go home to help build the temple.After several years of studying hard and earning high school fame, he is so unambitious.

Nie Zichuan said that in order to avoid the limelight, he temporarily resigned from a position with real power and faded out of the emperor's sight, and waited until the next opportunity to take up the post.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Yan Xi agreed to find him a position in the Ministry of Industry without any further persuasion.

Soon there was news that Nie Zichuan was appointed as Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, and was in charge of supervising the construction of the Qingfeng Mountain Royal Temple.

After the letter of appointment was issued, Nie Zichuan took up his post and reported to the Ministry of Industry.

Yun Duo looked at his newly changed official uniform, and was a little puzzled, "Accordingly, this 'living land' is a treasure land of geomantic omen and supervised the construction of a royal temple. Didn't the old Taoist Jing Xuzi assert that your life will lead to evil spirits, and the emperor even agreed to let you Go?" She felt something was wrong.

Nie Zichuan chuckled, and sat down with her arms around her, "I heard before that Jingxuzi came back from Nanping County, and once said to the emperor that the 'living land' is not a great virtuous person, so he should not live there. Build a royal temple on 'living ground'."

Yun Duo's eyes lit up immediately, "That is to say, Jing Xuzi wanted this land, but the emperor didn't agree. Now that the old Taoist priest seems to be in a good position, the emperor's trust in him has been greatly reduced?"

Nie Zichuan shook his head, "The emperor may have intentions, but there is a reason why he has to favor Jing Xuzi."

Yun Duo pursed his lips, "That old magic stick is better at fooling people! He has lived for hundreds of years, and the emperor is jealous, and he also wants to pursue immortality!"

"Do you believe it?" Nie Zichuan smiled and pushed back a lock of hair on her forehead.

Yun Duo thought for a while, then shook his head, "How many people pursue immortality, and has anyone achieved it?" Even if that person is the emperor, the real dragon emperor, the king of Hades tells you to die in the third watch, and he will never delay until the fifth watch.In history, there are many emperors who are dedicated to seeking Taoism and wanting to live forever. They made alchemy and tried alchemy. Qin Shihuang even used virgins and virgins. In the end, they were all different and died.

Although she traveled through time after death, the educational philosophy she received since she was a child made her not believe in any longevity technique at all.

Nie Zichuan kissed her, "The emperor wants to complete the temple as soon as possible. The people from the Ministry of Industry went forward, surveyed the terrain, and then drew up the blueprints to prepare for the construction. You are not yet three months old, so you can't hurry. I am going to map out the terrain first. Draw up a preliminary set of drawings. If there is any change, I will make changes. You help me grind the ink."

Yun Duo was having nothing to do, so he readily responded, holding an ink stick, and slowly grinding the ink aside, watching Nie Zichuan draw a topographic map.

On one side of Qingfeng Mountain is the Xiaoqing River and Qinghu Lake, and there are several villages nearby.These must be well planned so as not to affect the gates of the temples nor disturb the residences of the common people.

But after the topographical map was drawn, Yunduo pointed to the end of Qinghu Lake, "The temple must face south and be built on the 'living land'. Baishi Village is fine, and Huashigou is just on the road to the gate of the temple. It's time to relocate!"

Most of the fields near Huashigou belonged to the Zhang family. When the land was requisitioned, the area blocking the main entrance of the temple must be requisitioned first.Because of the resignation, Zhang Chong probably hated them to death, and when the land was expropriated, Zhang Chong might deliberately embarrass them.

"The emperor's order is hard to disobey, besides, the government didn't occupy his land for nothing." Nie Zichuan chuckled.

Yun Duo called Mother Luo loudly, and asked her to prepare a bunch of miscellaneous things for her, and started to play with the sand table in the room.

Mother Luo looked at the mountains gradually appearing on the table, Xiaoqing River, Qinghu, and even Qingyuan came out, and she was amazed.The young lady can draw a map freehand, and she can even make a sand table.

It's a pity that Yun Duo, who has always been a road idiot, only remembers the general appearance, and the details, so he can't figure it out.

Nie Zichuan looked at the miniature versions of Qinghu Lake and Qingfeng Mountain, his eyes deepened, and he filled in the missing parts of the clouds one by one.

"Since it is to build a royal temple, the project must be huge and the drawings are cumbersome. Before starting the construction, it is better to make a small model first, just like a sand table." Yun Duo looked up at him.

"Okay!" Nie Zichuan made a suggestion when he went to the Ministry of Industry.

Qin Tianjian also drew a map of Qingfeng Mountain, and the Ministry of Industry quickly designed several plans based on the map and sand table for the emperor to choose.

Nie Zichuan said that although the royal temples should show the royal majesty, it is not easy to waste people and money, and the extravagance is excessive, which was praised by the emperor.

Yun Duo was worried about his own hillsides. The south hillside was on the other side of Qinghu Lake, so it was not in the way, but Qingyuan was built next to mountains and rivers, and the hillsides behind were all relying on Qingfeng Mountain.The whole mountain belongs to the royal family, so what about her few slopes?Don't plan for her in time!The flowers and trees on the hillside have been cultivated for several years, and they have grown up slowly.

"The hillside is next to Qingyuan, and there is a section away from the 'living land', and it is separated by a brick wall. If we really have to row in at that time, it will only fill up the corner of a mountain. It won't take up much!" Nie Zichuan comforted her. .

Due to the rarity of 'living land' and the first royal temple built under the supervision of the royal family in this dynasty, the Ministry of Industry moved quickly.

At the beginning of August, Nie Zichuan took Yun Duo back to Nanping County with colleagues from the Ministry of Industry, officials from the Qin Tianjian, and skilled craftsmen.

Uncle Ge and Aunt Ge are still taking care of the yard in Tea Tree Lane.

Wan Guang was in charge of the private kitchen and freezing point shop, and Luo Qiu and the others brought all of them back.

She thought that the bumpy carriage would make Yun Duo unbearable, but she didn't think so, sitting on the carriage, swaying, she was sleeping most of the time, and even the morning sickness gradually got better.

"The young master is really good! Knowing that the young mistress has had a hard time traveling, I don't want to bother the young mistress anymore." Luo's mother said happily.

Yun Duo caressed her slightly protruding belly, with a smile overflowing her eyes, "Maybe she is a naughty daughter!"

"Daughter is mother's caring little padded jacket, a treasure in the palm of parents. If young mistress gives birth to a daughter, Dingji and young mistress will be the director. She is a wonderful woman with a beautiful appearance and extraordinary intelligence!" Bai Ling hurriedly comforted Yun Duo.

Although the words sound nice, Mother Luo glanced at her, but she secretly hoped that Yun Duo would give birth to a son, so that the young master would be considered as a successor!If the young mistress likes her daughter, after giving birth to a son, it is good to have another daughter.If possible, have a few more children, so that they can flourish in the future.

"Are you going to Hengzhou Mansion soon?" Yun Duo asked with a smile.

"It's another hour's drive, and we'll be at Hengzhou Mansion." Luo Ping, who was outside the carriage, replied.

Yun Duo yawned.

Yun Cai adjusted the pillow for her and let her sleep for a while.

It is only one day's journey from Hengzhou Prefecture to Nanping County, and it is slow, and it will take two days at most.

Prior to this, all localities had received reports from the residence.

Yun Duo also sent a letter to Yunying and Huang Yuehan, saying that she would return to Nanping County.

The more he got to Nanping County, Yun Duo couldn't help being more excited, feeling a little surging.Although there were a lot of bad things, she crossed over and opened her eyes to Baishi Village. After a few years in Nanping County, she unconsciously recognized Nanping County as her hometown.

With the destination imminent, Nie Zichuan got into the carriage, "We may rest in the county for a day first, and then go to Qingfeng Mountain. I will make arrangements at home first, and you can take people to live in the county for a few days. When the arrangements are made at home, I'll come pick you up again."

Yun Duo wanted to go back to Qingyuan with him, but she was pregnant and had a bumpy journey, so it would be better to live in the county for a few days to recuperate.And since I haven't talked with my eldest sister for almost half a year, Huang Yuehan and the others have a good talk, and it's just a matter of reminiscing about the old days.

Pang Ren, Li Hang and others greeted him outside the city gate.

Nie Zichuan and his party followed Li Hang to the post house, and Pang Ren picked up Yun Duo and his party, "Go to our house first, or go to another courtyard? I heard that when you are coming back, Yue Han asked someone to clean the other courtyard again. She has already brought the little crab to live in advance. Your yard has not been lived in for a long time, and it is not very popular. You should go to another courtyard! Anyway, it will only stay for a few days!"

Yun Duo thought for a while, then nodded in response, and asked Mama Wan to send the luggage that was not frequently used to her own house first. She and Mama Luo took Yun Cai and a few maids to the other courtyard with Pang Ren.

Huang Yuehan had been waiting early in the morning, and the nurse on the side was still holding the little crab. Seeing the carriage approaching, she smiled and hurried up to meet her.

Yun Duo got out of the carriage carefully, and the two of them held hands, "I haven't seen you in a few months, the little crab has grown up so much!"

Huang Yuehan hurriedly asked the nanny to hold the little crab for Yun Duo to see, and saw her stretch out her hand to hold her, "You are a double body now, and he is just a little chubby, you can't hug him when you are making trouble!"

Yun Duo still held his godson's little hand, and kissed his fair and tender face twice, "In a few months, the little crab will be called a godmother!"

"Hurry up and go in first!" Pang Ren urged.

Huang Yuehan was also busy supporting Yun Duo.

"Why don't you see Eldest Sister? She's getting heavier now?" Yun Duo looked around and didn't see Yunying, not only puzzled.Even if she is heavy, she will definitely come to pick her up with the big sister's character when she comes back from the capital.

Seeing her asking about Yunying, Huang Yuehan couldn't help but her expression changed, "Sister Yunying, she..."
