Youjiang Road, Guangxi Buzheng Division, a small village in Yangjiayakou, Si'en Prefecture was originally a little-known place name, but because the new emperor concubine Ning Concubine was the youngest daughter of Yang Laoqi in this village, it became famous instantly.

Early in the morning, the sky was just bright, and a heavy rain yesterday afternoon has been falling until now, but Cen Jie, the hereditary governor of Shi'en Prefecture, has already accompanied Youjiang Road Branch Patrol Daotai Chai Zeng to come here in the rain.

According to the usual season, not to mention the increase in the use of firewood in Youjiang Daotai, even Cen Jie, the prefect of the Tu Mansion, will not come to this mountain to suffer, but now that Ning Concubine Niangniang is about to return to her hometown and province, they have to come here to check and check at a high frequency to ensure that there is no mistake.

Chai Zengyong took a bamboo stick to remove the mud from his boots, and asked Cen Jie, the prefect of the Tufu on the side, and Wu Weiye, who was exiled here as a professor of Fuxue: "Is everything ready, the ancestral house of the mother's family can be used with the recently good hollow bricks, someone has not seen the old lady Yang, don't let the old man go to the cliff to plant any newly popularized potatoes, and the six-year-old uncle of Xiaoguo, have you changed the patched clothes, don't let the mother see the sadness." ”

Although Cen Jie is a hereditary prefect, he is not a toast who can be divided from one side, he basically does not have any military strength, although this prefect position is hereditary by his family, but he also has to obey the orders of his superiors, after all, he does not want his hereditary prefect position to be removed by the above for a reason.

"Back to my lord, it has been arranged, the ancestral house of my mother's family has been replaced with good bricks, which is fired from the best kiln in Foshan, Guangdong, and all the houses in this whole village have been bricked, and the road has been tamped with big bluestone, but recently it has been raining heavily and washed away a section of the road, and people are rushing to repair it, and the lower official also sent three of the most reliable maids to serve Mrs. Yang, looking at him every day, not to mention letting him plant any potatoes, it is not difficult to go to the garden to pick some fruits, that is, to prevent him from falling, in addition, Uncle Xiaoguo, Xiaguan also prepared a few sets of clothes for him, all of which were from Shu brocade. ”

This Cen Jie also knows that it is not a simple matter for Niangniang to return to his hometown, not to mention, there is a possibility that the emperor will also come, which is even more not simple, there has been no emperor in a place like Guangxi for hundreds of years, so he is also very active in cooperating with the errand assigned by his superiors, even if he has advanced a lot of money now, but he does not feel that it is wrongly spent, in his opinion, as long as the emperor remembers his loyalty, he can ensure that his Cen family will be the hereditary prefect for several generations.

"That's good, Mr. Wu, you are a great talent, and you have been wronged by coming to our place to teach, but now you also know that the emperor and Niangniang are coming here, even if you have any complaints, you can't spoil this important matter of welcoming and picking up your mother's relatives, after all, this is also the duty of a minister, you have been a Hanlin official, you should know better than me."

Chai Zengyong nodded and didn't talk to Cen Jie of the Tu Governor's Mansion again, for this kind of hereditary Tu Governor who was not born on the right path of the imperial examination, and there was no military strength of the Tusi, he looked down on it, but he had some respect for Wu Weiye, an official of the Hanlin Academy who was born on the right path of the imperial examination, and was also a little jealous, but now this Wu Weiye was relegated here because of his disobedience to the Holy Lord, which somewhat balanced his heart, after all, although he was born in the top three Jinshi, it took him fifteen years to climb from the Zhizhou to the current position of the patrol road, But now he can also drink to a person who was born in a second-class jinshi, which is also a good treat for him.

But although this Wu Weiye is not arrogant or flattering, he is just dull like a stuffy gourd, no matter how much this Chai Zeng uses to ridicule and mock, he ignores it.

In order to brush his face in front of His Majesty and leave a good impression on his mother, he begged Wu Weiye to write an epitaph several times after renovating the ancestral tomb of the Yang family.

Wu Weiye was resistant to this kind of behavior of the magistrate exhausting his brains to get on a bad trip, but the different experiences of Qi Biaojia and Wang Siren published in the newspaper a few days ago made him also somewhat aware of the inviolability of imperial power. ”

"That's right, Governor Cen, go find the best stonemason and the best marble, as long as Mr. Wu's inscription is written, it will be carved immediately, and then the soil will be filled", Chai Zengyong hurriedly instructed Cen Jie, Cen Jie promised to trot to do this, and Wu Weiye was personally pulled on the sliding rod by Chai Zengyong, and hurriedly walked to the mansion, this Yangjia Village is too poor, there is no pen and paper to write the epitaph.

Not long after Wu Weiye wrote the epitaph, and Cen Jie also did a good job of the inscription, the political envoys from the left and right sides of Guangxi, the envoys and commanders of the capital, and the officials who patrolled the imperial history also rushed to Yangjia Village.

Later, even the governor of Guangxi, who was patrolling the Beihai area, rushed to this side.

The governor of Liangguang was sent back to Zhaoqing by Zhu Youxiao's decree, otherwise he would have to rush here.

His Majesty's secrecy of the tour itinerary is too good, and they can only rush like this.

For a time, a small mountain village gathered all the officials in Guangxi, and the most anxious of them was Yang Honggui, the political envoy of Guangxi Zuobu, as soon as he entered Yangjia Village, he found the sub-patrol Daotai Chai Zengyong and asked:

"Your Majesty and Niangniang have arrived in Wuzhou, Zhongcheng is already on the way to come, you have all arranged it here, don't let Your Majesty and Niangniang have a little dissatisfaction with it, but Your Majesty may not accompany Niangniang into the village, maybe just rest in the city, you have to prepare a place to stay, this time Your Majesty brought someone in addition to Niangniang and a Liu girl, this person is not a simple palace maid, and you can't be lazy, you must treat the county lord of Guiwang in previous years, in addition, There are also Li Ge Lao and Wang Nei Xiang must also be properly arranged, and the same is true for the generals and soldiers of the Fifth Army, we can't treat them slowly, if there is the slightest mistake, we officials will not have a good life. ”

"The lower officials have been arranged", Chai Zengyong, the sub-patrol of Youjiang Road in Guangxi, was saying, and Yang Honggui asked again: "What about Wu Weiye, I have to persuade him well, come here to transform for so long, don't contradict Your Majesty again, it's not good for him, it's not good for us, in short, you first see if there is anything that hasn't been arranged, if there is something to be arranged immediately, I'll go and see my uncle and uncle first." ”

The uncle mentioned by Zuo Bu's political envoy Yang Honggui is the father of the basket, that is, the old farmer Yang Laoqi, but since he learned that his daughter Luoqi has become a concubine, Yang Honggui, who is a few years older than Yang Laoqi, recognized this Yang Laoqi as his own family, and called him uncle, and called the youngest son of Yang Laoqi uncle, in order not to be the same generation as Ning Concubine Luoqi.
