This time Liu Zhi returned to Beijing after his term of office, Yunwu because she had just given birth and had not yet been confined, whether it was her or the newborn child, she could not withstand the trek and bumpy journey, and it was inconvenient to set off with Peng Jin and others, so the family of three stayed in Honghe County for the time being, rented a small courtyard to live, and prepared to wait until the end of summer and early autumn next year to drink, and then return to the capital with Peng Yongxing and others. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After the bandits, the world was peaceful, Liu Zhi and Peng Jin took the time to take the children to the southern tea garden, first, the two sides had not seen each other for a long time, and Liu Zhan, Liu Che and Peng Yu's second son Jia Ge'er The three children had not yet met, and this meeting was regarded as a recognition of the children's relatives; Second, Liu Shi is about to leave for Beijing after his term of office expires, and Peng Yongxin thinks that the investigation of new tea varieties is not enough, so he plans to return to Beijing in late summer and early autumn next year, so he has the right to say goodbye to this meeting.

And Liang Shan and Liu Xuan, Liu Shi also sent a letter in advance, saying that he would leave for Beijing today.

Liang Shan replied that he would wait with Liu Xuan in the Changting outside the city - Liu Xuan was pregnant again, and she was in the late stage of pregnancy, her body was bulky and resting badly, so she couldn't get up too early to say goodbye, and if she came early, she was afraid of disturbing Liu Shi's plan to leave quietly, so she could only compromise like this.

As for the affairs of Honghe County, Liu Shi should have been entrusted to the new county Cheng Wu Bin to take charge.

Zhang Minghua, the original county magistrate, was successfully admitted to the Jinshi, and because of the appreciation of Emperor Taixi by Jin Diance, he stayed in Beijing to standby.

The night had not yet dissipated, so the mist was also darkened, and the surroundings were foggy, and the road in front of them was faint.

The carriages and horses of Liu Shi and others had already traveled all the way, driving through the street, all the way to the city gate.

Quietly when it came, quietly when it went, nothing seemed to change, but even in the morning light, you could see the new, magnificent and tall buildings, and the wide and smooth road......

"That's leaving......" Liu Shi sighed in a low voice.

This is the starting point of his career, although it cannot be said that it is perfect and has no regrets, but at least he has a clear conscience and has indeed benefited the people.

Peng Jin, who was patting a pair of young children on the side, nodded when he heard this, and his eyebrows were also full of emotion.

Got up early and hurried, the three children hadn't slept enough, except for Nuan Nuan who opened his eyes when he got up, Liu Zhan and Liu Che didn't even wake up, and slept all the way from the bed to the carriage.

The three children were still asleep at this time, the carriage was bumpy and turbulent, and it was inevitable that they would not fall asleep, and Liu Zhan and Liu Che were a little crying when they were younger.

After appeasing a pair of young children, Peng Jin comforted Liu Zhi again: "There is a banquet in the world, and there are soldiers in the iron-clad camp." The achievements of the past three years are enough for you to leave office with a clear conscience. ”

Obviously two irrelevant sentences, which came out of Peng Jin's mouth at this time, were very reasonable for the situation, and also appeased Liu Shi's reluctant and dazed heart.

"Of course, the political achievements are enough to have a clear conscience, and the addition of new members to our family is even more gratifying." Liu Zhi looked at a pair of sleeping young sons and smiled.

As he spoke, he took Peng Jin's shoulder, and the husband and wife sat snuggled up, warm and sweet.

The morning sun is getting brighter, the sky is white, and the city gate is close at hand.

Liu Shi and Peng Jin lifted the curtain, ready to take one last look at the place where they had lived for three years - the first stop of Liu Shi's career.

However, this look found that at some point, more and more people gathered in the distance, followed behind them, and silently sent each other. Previously, they were blindly immersed in the sadness of parting, and they didn't even notice it for a while.

Liu Shi immediately stopped the team, jumped out of the carriage, and said to the more and more people who came to see him off: "Fellow villagers, thank you for sending you off, let's go here!" ”

"How can an adult leave so quietly? We don't even have a chance to say goodbye and express our hearts. Wu Bin, the leader, said reluctantly with red eyes and a little complaint.

If he hadn't paid more attention and got up early every day to go to the office, it is estimated that he would not have known that Liu Zhi had already left by this time! It was Liu Shi who freed him from Wu Zhong's hands and helped him marry his sweetheart, and now the couple has a chubby son; gave him a chance to reform himself, and promoted him to be a county magistrate, and now he is acting as an agent for county affairs! His gratitude to Liu Shi is indescribable!

And among these people who followed him, which one of them was not greatly favored by Liu Shi, and his heart was equally grateful! Otherwise, everyone would not be like him, always paying attention to Liu Shi's itinerary and preparing to send him off!

Since Liu Zhi can't be left, let's send him away seriously and respectfully, so as to express their gratitude and reverence!

Liu Shi looked at the group of red-eyed and reluctant people in front of him, and he was very emotional in his heart, and couldn't help but say emotionally: "Fellow villagers, it's not that I don't want to say goodbye to everyone, but I can't bear to say goodbye to the sadness, so I chose to leave quietly." Please don't blame the folks. ”

"My lord, let us give you a ride!"

"That's right, my lord, you have done so many great things for us to build roads and canals, build schools and suppress bandits, let us give you a ride and show your heart!"

"My lord, this is the new egg laid by my hen, keep you, Mrs. and Miss, and eat it on the way!"

"My lord, this is the cooking cake we just made, and we will leave it for you to make dry food on the way. The mountains in this capital are high and the roads are far away, and it is inevitable that there will be times when there is no store in front of the village and no store in the back! ”

"My lord, this is the Baifu brocade quilt we made together, you can accept it, it is auspicious, I wish my lord, Mrs., and young ladies and sons, a long life, health and safety!"

……

The people, you and I say a word, and each of them gives his own parting gifts.

Gifts are not valuable, but that sincere heart is priceless.

Seeing this, Peng Jin also got off the carriage, stood side by side with Liu Shi, and solemnly thanked the people who came to see him off.

"I appreciate the kindness of your fellow villagers." Liu Zhi said, "It's just that the journey is inconvenient, please take these things back!" It's not easy for the folks to live, don't break the bank. For one term as an official and for the benefit of one party, these are all things I should do! Everyone's good life is the best reward for me! ”

When the people heard Liu Zhi's words, they were even more reluctant, and many people couldn't help crying.

"My lord, we are reluctant to let you go!"

The crowd didn't know who shouted this sentence first, and then one after another, the sound of elegation sounded everywhere, and the cries of the people became louder and louder.

Liu Shi also had red eyes, forced himself to be calm and calm, and comforted everyone: "There is no banquet in the world; Sending you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end. Say goodbye, everybody. He's destined for the future, and we'll see you again! (To be continued.) )
