During the time when Yan Niang managed the shop, Tong Xue was not idle, and they moved into the Inner Yazhizhou Mansion. The Zhizhou Mansion is actually behind the Yamen, and through the Yamen, it is the courtyard of the Zhizhou Mansion.

Tong Xue saw that it was also a two-entry yard, not too big, but it was complete, and there were a lot of flowers and trees planted in the yard, which was a bit interesting.

Tong Xue happily walked into the Zhizhou Mansion and looked at the situation inside, which was better than she imagined, "Although this house is a little old, it is still very good." ”

The depth of the house is not large, and the whole is relatively small, but there is a small scenery rockery in the yard, and there is a small garden behind the rockery, the layout is small and exquisite, it is worthy of the territory where the governor has lived in many years, this house is really good.

Before the family settled down, Tong Xue thought of Xu Wenyuan and them, "But if you take Wenyuan and them over, I'm afraid it won't be enough to live here." Now it's just the two of us, plus two servants, but it's loose. ”

When Xu Wenda heard Tong Xue say this, he asked, "Does Yan Niang live outside?" ”

Tong Xue nodded, the shop is followed by the house, which is not smaller than this Zhizhou Mansion, and it is more convenient for Yan Niang to live there, "Yes, Yan Niang opened a shop outside, which is the shop we discussed before." ”

Xu Wenda didn't care much about these either, he could live anywhere, so he nodded, "It's okay." ”

Seeing that Tong Xue was thinking about things in the future for a long time now, she felt a little funny, "Now let's live here first, if they come, we can just buy a house next to it." ”

"Hmm."

Although this house is maintained all year round, after all, it is an official house, but it has not been inhabited for a while, and it still needs to be carefully cleaned.

Jade Tong Xue has lent it to Yan Niang. The matter here can only be done by Tong Xue himself. But fortunately, it's not a very difficult thing, just sprinkle and sweep, remove the dust on it, and naturally look new.

Xu Wenda is always in and out these days, at the beginning, there were only Lu Wang and the master who brought them in, but after seven or eight days, he followed two more errands. There were messengers who followed. Tong Xue felt more relieved in her heart.

Tong Xue knew that Xu Wenda had been squeezed out by that Sun Tongzhi everywhere as soon as he came here, and the people under his hands couldn't move at all.

If you want to say that this Sun Tongzhi is too famous, his reputation is too loud. Tong Xue inevitably heard a lot of news about him, Sun Tongzhi is forty-five years old this year, but he has been a Tongzhi in this place for twenty years.

Tong Xue didn't fully understand what was going on with the officials here. said that the three-year evaluation will be changed, how can this person be allowed to do it for 20 years without moving a position. But if a person sits in one position for a long time. Naturally, he has mastered the resources that can be mastered by this position.

When they first came, Tong Xue and Xu Wenda both felt that it was inevitable that Sun Tongzhi would make a stumbling block for Xu Wenda, after all, he was the first choice for the governor of Yuzhou, and he was familiar with the environment here. It has also been in business for many years, and its qualifications are also very consistent.

As a result, he was snatched by Xu Wenda, and he was naturally resentful of Xu Wenda.

But when it came to the time after that. Xu Wenda and Tong Xue both began to realize that people didn't want to be this Zhizhou. Maybe he doesn't want to do it, he is a fellow intellectual, one level lower than Zhizhou, but his mastery of Yuzhou is definitely more than any Zhizhou who came here to serve.

Although Zhizhou has the greatest power in Yuzhou, it is not necessarily useful to say a word about this Sun Tongzhi. It is not an exaggeration for Sun Li to cover the sky in Yuzhou.

Thinking of this, you can understand why the last governor resigned angrily, and came here with enthusiasm in the hope of making great efforts and making some achievements, but found that the yang at the bottom was in violation, and the order could not be implemented at all, what can a light pole commander who has been overthrown do.

In the end, he was depressed, so he resigned and left.

Xu Wenda faced such a situation as soon as he came, which can be described as very unoptimistic.

Sun Li really doesn't covet the location of Zhizhou, the Zhizhou of Yuzhou is not so easy to do, and if he doesn't do it well, he will naturally do nothing, but at least the evaluation of the officials will not be bad, because the situation in this place is not good, and it can't be worse.

Officials who have received the average evaluation will naturally return to the ministry to wait for their posts, and then go to other places to become officials.

But if it is done well, there was once such a person in Yuzhou, who was busy purging the pirates, and the result was very good results, and it was also praised by the merchants for a while, but in the end, it was washed with blood by the comeback pirates.

Therefore, Sun Li's positioning for himself is very clear, that is, to use power for personal gain, use the power in his hands to get the most benefits, and then return to his hometown and take care of his old age.

Xu Wenda has also seen it these days, he must open Sun Tongzhi's breakthrough, otherwise, he will not be able to carry out the work in Yuzhou at all, so he has been busy with this matter all this time.

Sure enough, on the twentieth day after arriving in Yuzhou, the local officials in Yuzhou finally moved.

Since Xu Wenda took office, they have been busy all day long, Tong Xue and Xu Wenda basically only eat breakfast together, and occasionally eat breakfast at home, but more often, Xu Wenda comes back after eating outside.

At the beginning, Tong Xue would say a few words, but later I heard from Lu Wang's mouth that Xu Wenda was not in Yuzhou Mansion at all, but went to the surrounding villages, and he didn't know what he was investigating, but there must have been something to destroy the situation that prevented him when local officials entered the iron bucket.

So whenever Xu Wenda has no township but is in the city, he will come back to have dinner with Tong Xue. Today, after eating the roasted wheat on the plate, Xu Wenda said, "Madam, I will come back later today." ”

Tong Xue was a little surprised, if it wasn't for eating with Xu Wenda every morning, there was always someone in the bed late at night, Tong Xue would have thought that Xu Wenda hadn't gone home at all during this time, "Are your things done, don't you go home today?" Hugh Mu? ”

Xu Wenda smiled, seemed to be in a very good mood, and said happily. "Today seems to be the day of Xiu Mu, but it's not because of this, I'm busy in the dark, where can I take care of Xiu Mu, it's the local officials who want to pick up the wind with me."

Receiving the wind, as the name suggests, must be brought up when you first come, so it is called receiving the wind. They've all been here for almost a month. Only then did they come to catch the wind, obviously to watch the people's dishes, Tong Xue thought that they had just arrived at the yamen in the sky. The expression on his face was a little sarcastic, "More than half a month late? ”

Tong Xue helped Xu Wenda find a blue brocade robe that set off his temperament and helped Xu Wenda put it on. There is no need to wear an official robe, Tong Xue sighed while helping Xu Wenda tie his belt. "Sure enough, people want clothes, and when they wear them like this, the whole person is different, but the husband looks like this. What a beauty.

Tong Xue stretched out her hand and poked Xu Wenda's face, her fingertips pointed at Xu Wenda's cheek, and Xu Wenda's head was tilted. Tong Xue's fingers pressed into a shallow depression.

Xu Wenda looked at Tong Xue with a smile, as if the matter was resolved. So I was very happy, the husband and wife who hadn't spoken well for several days, Xu Wenda suddenly had the idea of teasing, "Lady, complimenting me so much, is it like a hint to my husband that I have snubbed Mrs. because of official business during this time?" ”

"Hurry up and get out." Tong Xue stood on Xu Wenda's side, and when she heard Xu Wenda's words, she rolled her eyes, then pushed Xu Wenda to turn around and pushed him out of the door, "Go and come back quickly, if you don't show up again, people will forget about you, the old man of Zhizhou." ”

"They want to forget." Xu Wenda sneered, "You have to see if I agree." ”

Tong Xue saw Xu Wenda say this, knowing that Xu Wenda must have done something, her heart was like a cat scratching, and she wanted to know very much, so she wanted to push Xu Wenda's hand out of the door, but she suddenly stopped it, not only that, but also pulled her head into her arms, a pair of eyes full of curiosity, and looked at him with a blinking eye, "Have you done anything earth-shattering?" ”

Xu Wenda knew Tong Xue's thoughts, but looking at Tong Xue with a pair of watery eyes looking at him, pitiful like a small animal begging for food, Xu Wenda suddenly didn't want to speak, and reached out and scraped the bridge of Tong Xue's nose, "Wait for me, I'll come back at night to see Madame's watch, if you're satisfied, I'll tell you all." ”

"If you don't say it, you won't say it." Tong Xue made a grimace at Xu Wenda's back, "Who is rare." ”

Xu Wenda seemed to know that Tong Xue would make expressions, turned around and saw Tong Xue's grimace, and walked out of the courtyard with a very happy laugh.

Tong Xue could still hear Lu Wang's honest voice outside in the courtyard, "Master, what kind of happy thing have you encountered, I have never seen you smile so happily." ”

Tong Xue trotted and stood at the bottom of the courtyard wall, and then heard Xu Wenda say with a sullen smile, "It's particularly interesting to see a fried kitten." ”

Tong Xue really wanted to rush out when she heard this answer, and asked who he was talking about, but in the end she couldn't help it, and went back to look in the mirror for a long time, how could such a peugeot girl be like a cat.

Tong Xue, who didn't know the truth, was a little depressed, so she went to find Yan Niang. Now that Xu Wenda's matter is settled, she can almost feast the wives of those officials.

Tong Xue is also a temper that comes and goes quickly, just now I was depressed and didn't know what medicine Xu Wenda's gourd was selling, and when I arrived at Wenxiang Pavilion, I forgot about it, Tong Xue said to Yan Niang excitedly, "Yan Niang, I see that Xu Wenda's matter is almost solved, and it is estimated that our shop can be opened." ”

Yan Niang is a little worried, she is a female streamer, but she also knows the officialdom problem of Yuzhou, everyone in the world knows that there are things to find the same knowledge, as for who is Zhizhou in the heart, there are not many people in Yuzhou who know.

Find someone casually on the road to ask, ten have ** said that they know that Sun Tongzhi does not know Zhizhou, which can be seen that the shape is severe, Yan Niang asked with some concern, "I have also heard that there are several officials here in Yuzhou who are very tricky these days, how did Lord Xu do it?" ”

Tong Xue shook her head, "I don't know. ”

Xu Wenda also bought a pass with her at this time, of course, it may be that it is too dangerous and does not want Tong Xue to know, and there is not enough time, so he will only say it at night, or Xu Wenda simply wants to tease her.

Thinking about it, Tong Xue was a little excited, "But since these local officials have been moved, it must be related to local government affairs, even if he doesn't say it, after these days, there will always be news coming out." ”

Yan Niang looked at Tong Xue and smiled, these days, especially in the days of Qingshan Village, Yan Niang can see very clearly, this young couple has a very deep relationship, although they look very indifferent in front of people, in fact, they are afraid that their hearts are hot, "Lord Xu and Mrs. Xu are deeply in love, how can they not say anything to you." ”

Tong Xue said helplessly, "He really didn't want to tell me, but since he was hiding it like this, he must have his considerations, and if I don't listen to it, I will be frightened." ”

Hearing Tong Xue say this, Yan Niang stopped continuing the topic. Instead, he put out several different rouges that he had made and put them in front of Tong Xue, "I don't know if the lady of Yuzhou, who is separated by more than half a country, will like these things." ”

Tong Xue looked at each of them, and the color of the head in different boxes would be slightly different, Tong Xue tried each one and thought it was excellent, "Don't worry, the nobles in this palace are used to things, what do they have to be picky about." Besides, your craftsmanship, I have also seen it, and the fat powder is indeed very good. ”

Yan Niang thought that Tong Xue had taken out a lot of silver before, and she was afraid that it was her family, and because of this, she would have some feelings of gain and loss, "I'm worried about ......"

On the contrary, Tong Xue didn't seem to care much, "If you're worried about the silver I put in, then work harder and earn the money back." This is a lot of people who are rich in Yuzhou. ”

Tong Xue walked around a few days ago, looked at the houses of those rich families, looked at them from a distance, and felt that their eyes were glowing green with envy, "I have looked at those merchants in the past few days, and the area of the house can build more than a dozen yamen, or the house built in the prosperous street section of Yuzhou, and I want to come to each of them with very rich masters." ”

Tong Xue's eyes fell on those rouges, because Tong Xue had tried them and opened them, this kind of nature could not be sold as a commodity, Tong Xue thought that there would be trial packs in the major cosmetics counters before, so she said, "Yan Niang, look at these, I have already tried the color just now, you might as well put this outside, let the ladies and ladies who come in take a look, if they like it, they will buy it, do you think this idea is feasible?"
