The name of the Huainan prefect is Liu Yuan, and he was transferred to Huaihe as an official only two years ago. In the past two years, his achievements have been mediocre and nothing surprising. Even on weekdays, I don't have any friends. Every day, when I pass the yamen, I deal with it when there is something, and when I have nothing to do, I go out to the market and take the officials for a walk, and I don't pay attention.

Most of the officials, large and small, in the Huai River area, are officials made by the relationship between the Li family or the Cao family. It's just that such an important prefect position fell from the sky, and it was just a pole in the prefect's position.

Liu Yuan's appearance made many officials who gave gifts to Cao Mingyuan hate itchy. They all felt that the fat in their hands was taken away by a stranger in this way, but it was still an edict. Although I was not convinced, I had to respectfully call Lord Liu when I met.

But soon everyone automatically ignored this prefect, thinking that there would be an iron-fisted method, but they didn't want to come to a soft persimmon. A lot of affairs are left to his subordinates.

Everyone just waited for the three-year term to arrive, and when this Liu Yuan left, everything would be fine. Therefore, no one stumbles on him, and he does not cause trouble. After two years, it has been peaceful.

As soon as Liu Yuan came out of the yamen that day, he saw the big girl next to his wife Wu waiting at the door, and her face sank, "What's wrong?" ”

"My lord, Mrs. has a headache, and I have already asked the doctor to read it, and I have also prescribed a prescription. Madame drank the medicine and got much better, and told the servant to come and ask you to go back early. ”

As soon as the girl finished speaking, some of the officials behind Liu Yuan laughed.

Liu Yuan coughed twice, and his cheeks were a suspiciously red. "Why don't you go and prepare a sedan chair for me? Didn't you hear that Madame was uncomfortable? ”

As soon as the officials heard this, they immediately went to prepare the sedan chair. In the past two years, although Liu Yuan has nothing to say to them. But they know that the prefect is the most afraid of the inside, and the prefect's wife is a strong one. It is said that this Lord Liu is late to go back, but he has to kneel on the washboard. It was also rumored that the prefect's wife beat the two fans sent by the county magistrate to death and threw them out. So they can not be afraid of the prefect, but they have to be careful of the behind the prefect.

Soon. The officials prepared a sedan chair and sent Liu Yuan back to the mansion without stopping.

They watched Liu Yuan get off the sedan chair, and they didn't care about the other ways they rushed to the mansion and almost fell. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Let's go, today the master has set up another table of good wine to invite a few of our brothers, let's go!" , said one of the older ones.

"Which master? When did our master become so generous! ”。 A new official asked inexplicably.

The older patted him on the head. "You kid, of course we're talking about Master Cao! Our master's shabby talent, where is he so generous! You can follow your brother in the future, and make sure you eat and drink spicy food! ”

The newcomer hurriedly said some flattering words, lowered his head and rolled his eyes, and followed the remaining three.

Besides, Liu Yuan, after entering the door, his steps immediately slowed down. There was also a normal look on his face, and he asked the girl next to him. "What the hell is going on?"

"It's the Yunyin Temple that has responded, and the lady ordered the slave maid to hurry up and ask the adults to come back to discuss." , The girl's tone was obviously much more respectful than Fang Cai, and she stopped when she sent Liu Yuan to the Wu family's courtyard.

Liu Yuan entered the courtyard, and when he saw that the Wu family was sitting there properly, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Madam, what's wrong?" ”

When Wu saw Liu Yuan, he smiled sweetly, "But being laughed at again?" ”

"What about laughter? I don't know how much I saved. Liu Yuan stopped Wu from standing up and sat down himself, "Madame has suffered a lot of blame for me, I am really ashamed of Madame." ”

"What are you talking about, sir? You and I are husband and wife, and the concubine should have relieved the lord's worries! I just hope that the master can bear the burden of humiliation like this, and it can be effective! Wu didn't say much, took out the reply post and handed it over, "The county lord replied to the post and invited me to go to Yunyin Temple tomorrow!" ”

Liu Yuan's expression was a little surprised, and he took it and looked at it, but it was just an ordinary reply, "Judging from the past few days that the county lord has come, it seems that he doesn't want to pay attention to the big and small affairs of the Huai River." This time I went back to your post, but I don't know why. Do you know who else answered this post? A very large number of people handed over the post, and Liu Yuan didn't know it.

"There is one I know, and my lord is no stranger." , Wu pushed the tea in front of Liu Yuan, and continued, "It's a scribe under the old man's room, and his wife also received a reply." If there is any, the concubine body does not know. ”

Liu Yuan pondered for a moment, and then took a few sips of the tea prepared by his wife, "In this case, Madame will go and have a look!" ", subconsciously glanced at Wu's stomach, "I just went to Yunyin Temple to ask for a signature, and there is nothing special." ”

"Don't worry too much, sir. The second lady of the Kangguo Mansion has already gone, and the concubine is not eye-catching. Coupled with the reputation of the concubine, everyone knows that the prefect's wife is a fierce woman, where can she suspect anything else? Everyone must think that I, a fierce woman, dislike the mediocre achievements of the master, and go to Yunyin Temple to seek a future for the master. If you are looking for a future, I am afraid that these people will be happy in their hearts, but they only think that the old man is not here, and I don't know how happy they are in their hearts! Wu whispered, his tone soft.

Liu Yuan looked at Wu with satisfaction in his eyes. This lady, who can bend and stretch, followed her all the way, without a complaint, but took care of the house properly, and took on such a reputation for herself.

"Madam, it's hard for you to think so much." , Liu Yuan's tone was more gentle.

Wu's face flushed, "The old husband and wife, the master doesn't have to say that." But tomorrow, what does the lord want to do as a concubine? ”

"Although the county lord came from Beijing, he also had the will of long live. But its modus operandi is really uncertain. Tomorrow, you can take a good look, and we'll discuss it when we come back. With the first time, the second and third times are easy. Liu Yuan has been an official here for two years cautiously, so he is naturally careful in everything.

Wu Shi was clear when he heard this, and stood up, "The concubine has asked the subordinates to prepare the water, master, let's go and bathe!" Today, there are dishes in the kitchen, and the master will try it. ”

Liu Yuan is extremely tired in front of people every day, and it is really comfortable to have Wu's gentle words when he comes home. After the two finished speaking, Liu Yuan blinked, and Wu smiled knowingly.

Wu picked up the teacup and slammed it on the ground, raising his voice, "The old lady still wants to go out to be a man for you?" You've got the guts to grow! What about the county lord? The old lady is not happy to deal with a girl! This was followed by a long series of curses.

Around the corner of the room, a gardener stopped what he was doing. After receiving scissors, he walked out of the house.

When a girl saw it, she greeted her, "Hanako, how many days of work are you done?" ”

"Yes, Miss Lao told Mrs. Sù that I have cleaned up this garden, and I will come back in half a month."

"Okay, you go slowly!" , the girl is smiling, blessed with a blessed body.

Hanako didn't say much, left the house, and walked directly in the direction of Caofu.

After the Wu family inside got the news, he glanced at the tea cups that the girls were cleaning up, and sighed, "None of the tea cups in this house have a complete set, it's a pity!" (To be continued......)
