Gong Jiu took care of the affairs of the palace quite well, because there were still things in the afternoon, and the kitchen ladies prepared lunch early, and after lunch, Hua Yude hurriedly went out.

Xu Qirong grabbed him: "Master, why don't you bring Gong Jiu?" Gong Jiu has been in Fuzhou City for a long time, and he is more familiar with the situation than you. ”

Hua Yude waved his hand: "He told me everything he should know." The affairs of the back house are not simple, most of these people are arranged by Gong Jiu, and Gong Jiu stays to help you. ”

Xu Qirong couldn't cry or laugh: "I'm only three months pregnant, and it's not that I can't move for seven or eight months!" Now what matters is the livelihood of the entire southwest, you can rest assured, there are no elders in the house, no aunts, and I can still sort out the affairs of every inch of land. ”

Xu Qirong insisted, Hua Yude had no choice but to bring Gong Jiu with him. Seeing this, Gao Bo hurriedly stepped forward and told him the information he had heard before...... Gong Jiu can follow Hua Yude to the county office, but as a housekeeper, he is not easy to go.

Hearing Gao Bo's news, Xu Qirong couldn't help frowning, if the people of Fuzhou City had reached a consensus, the law would not be held accountable, and her husband really couldn't do anything to everyone, and things would be much more difficult than she imagined.

Thinking of everyone's evaluation of her in the discussion, Xu Qirong gritted his teeth: "I'll go to the county government with you." ”

Hua Yude naturally knew her thoughts, but he still shook his head and said with a smile: "I am naturally very happy that you can help me." It's just that there will be a lot of people at that time, and if there is a sudden riot, with you, I will be restrained. Don't worry, the people can't stop me. ”

When Hua Yude said this. His eyes were very cold, and he obviously had a countermeasure in his chest. Xu Qirong saw him like this, and he didn't insist. only said: "In this case, the husband will go early and return early, if there is anything, I must quickly let Gong Jiu come back and inform me." ”

Hua Yude nodded, and went out with Gong Jiu and a few subordinates dressed in mud legs. Xu Qirong stood at the door to see him off, saw Hua Yude say a few words to the few people dressed in mud legs, and then raised his feet and walked in the direction of the county office. Only Gong Jiu followed. The others looked at each other, then spread out and went their separate ways. It seems that they don't know each other.

Xu Qirong couldn't guess what Hua Yude's idea was, so he asked people to close the door, and then asked Gao Bo to summon everyone to the flower hall to discuss matters and assign everyone to be responsible for the affairs inside and outside the house.

This busy, busy until dinnertime. Wait until it's already dark. I haven't seen Hua Yude come back yet. Xu Qirong was worried, so he had to let people go to the county government to find people. But I was worried that I would disturb Hua Yude's work, so I had to endure it.

After another half an hour, I saw Gong Jiu carrying a lantern and coming back with Hua Yude.

Xu Qirong hurriedly ordered someone to serve the food, and was a little distressed: "I knew that you would be busy until so late, so I asked someone to send you some food to cushion it." ”

After speaking, he saw several men holding scrolls and books behind Hua Yude, and Hua Yude patted Xu Qirong's hand. Said to Gong Jiu: "You take them to put their things in the study, and then come over to eat together." ”

Gong Jiu agreed.

Hua Yude said to appease Xu Qirong: "This time may be a little busy. I don't care much about you, but after this busy time, when you are heavy, I can always find time to accompany you. ”

Xu Qirong smiled: "The people of the city are all relying on you, how can I be your oil bottle?" Then he remembered what he had discussed with Yu Xia in the afternoon, and pursed his lips, "Eat first, I have something to tell you after eating." ”

Having said that, when dinner was finished, Hua Yude didn't have time to wait to listen to Xu Qirong, so he washed his face casually with a hot towel, and went to the study with Gong Jiu. When Xu Qirong instructed someone to collect the dishes and chopsticks, he saw a tall pile of books beside the two of them, and they were flipping through them one by one.

Even when Xu Qirong walked in, the two of them didn't notice it. Xu Qirong quietly glanced at the booklet, but it was the household registration of the people in the city and the record book of Fuzhou City over the years.

This is only Fuzhou City, I don't know what year and month I want to see, let alone the entire southwest county! Xu Qirong suppressed everything he wanted to say before, and personally brought the maid to quietly cut the lanterns, refill the tea, serve snacks, and grind ink beside him.

After two hours, Xu Qirong really couldn't stand it, and he didn't want Hua Yude to worry, so he ordered someone to guard here, and went to rest. When I woke up early the next morning, I heard that Hua Yude had already gone out with someone.

Xu Qirong pulled Yu Xia and asked, "When did Ye and Gong Jiu rest yesterday?" ”

Yu Xia replied: "When you are ugly, you stopped to rest, and you got up at the beginning of the year and took someone out." ”

Xu Qirong looked at the sky outside, which was only slightly bright, Yu Xia saw this and persuaded: "It's still early, the kitchen is just preparing to make a fire, why don't you sleep for a while?" ”

Xu Qirong shook her head, her husband only slept for an hour or two last night, how could she continue to be lazy? At that moment, he ordered someone to come and serve and freshen up, and asked, "But did the master go to the county government again?" ”

Yu Xia said while combing her hair: "Master said, he is going to check on various places today, grandma doesn't need to prepare meals to send him over, he will solve the problem of eating outside." Grandma just needs to take care of the palace and don't tire herself. ”

Xu Qirong snorted, but he thought in his heart, when he waits for tonight, he must prepare some dry food that is good for storage and good for storage, this Fuzhou City is not as good as the previous Fuzhou City, how can there be anything to eat outside!

After freshening up, Xu Qirong went to the study, and saw that there were still those books from yesterday on the desk, and there were more than ten volumes on the side, with fresh marks on them, which were obviously read by Hua Yude and Gong Jiu last night.

Xu Qirong looked through the books, only to find that the books were very messy, and some of the content was incomplete, no wonder it looked time-consuming and laborious.

After thinking about it, he sat down at the place where Hua Yude had sat last night, and after giving the order to "grind ink", he began to sort out and classify the remaining books.

When it was time for dinner, Hua Yude still didn't come back, but he asked people to pass the word back and let Xu Qirong eat first, so he didn't have to wait for him.

When Hua Yude came back, Xu Qirong was holding a bamboo lady and taking a nap, watching Xu Qirong rub his eyes to give him vegetables and prepare hot water, shouting and asking for warmth, Hua Yude was distressed and happy, and couldn't help but say: "It's all sleepy like this, go to sleep." ”

Then there was silence for a moment, and there was a hint of guilt in his words: "I still have something to do, I'll accompany you later." ”

Xu Qirong pursed his lips, didn't say anything, accompanied him to eat, and personally led people to light the lamp in the study, prepared tea and snacks, and left two maids here to listen to the call, and then went to freshen up and go to bed.

This man is obedient. Hua Yude tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Then I saw that the books on the table were different from the ones I had left in the morning, and it was obvious that someone had touched them. After flipping through it carefully, it has been sorted out and classified. I can't help but feel distressed, she can't stay up after a busy day, right? (To be continued.) )
